People are not entitled to loot and pilfer the creations of others.- To make frankenstein using their labour that remains uncompensated.

It's evil. It's bullshit. It's disgusting.

Realest people on this post btw are the ones who said "actually I'll block you if you dislike L'Ami du Peuple" and the person who smugly proclaimed themselves a United Irishmen condoner when they reblogged it

Guy who has a DNI but it's just full of antiquated terms and references to factions that haven't existed for 200+ years so it makes no sense to anybody

i dont have any trigun mutuals so i'm just gonna ramble my thoughts into the infinite void of tumblr. and im sure others have touched on this same topic but

it almost seems like vash is getting softer with every new installment of trigun? like incredibly consistently and incredibly specifically.

let me explain.

i'll start with tristamp and work backwards; the tristamp vash we all know and love there is incredibly adverse to violence.

more often than not he ACTIVELY refuses to fight and just WON'T draw his gun. this post loosely counted the amount of bullets that he shot throughout all of season 1, and almost ALL of them (like to an insane degree) were dished out against knives, who vash knew was strong enough to take the hit.

the few times vash does draw his gun against a human in tristamp, it's as a blunt force weapon (against the badlads gang and livio, for example) or to disarm others/save someone with ricochet (like shooting the punisher before wolfwood can kill livio).

he just doesn't shoot people. at ALL.

then if we look at 98 trigun, things change drastically.

here, vash isn't afraid to hurt people a little if it means more will be saved in the end. of course he never kills, but he actually shoots people here. not only that...

he holds a casual, sarcastic conversation while pointing his weapon at people.

he constantly shoots at limbs to immobilize people, fires warning shots extremely close to peoples' vitals, and performs several very insane trick shots throughout the show to wound those with armor.

tristamp vash wouldn't even draw, but 98 struts around firing warning shots into the sky and singing about bloodshed for intimidation! i'm not sure there's a single episode where he doesn't shoot someone at least once.

...so what about trimax, then?

(PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD)

he is so. shockingly. violent.

of course he never kills. of course he's still trying to save people, but there's this anger in him that i was completely taken off-guard by reading for the first time.

tristamp vash is so soft he's painful to watch. 98 vash makes a heartbreaking effort to be as silly and nonthreatening as possible, constantly making himself out to be the fool. but trimax?

he's... literally grief-stricken and out for revenge. explicit revenge. he's angry and he's hurt and he lays his intentions out so clearly. he's making THREATS.

seriously:

hunting legato. HUNTING him.

it's not even a matter of drawing his weapon anymore. he does it constantly, and fires just as much. never to kill, but he doesn't joke around the way 98 vash does. the most he'll offer is a sunny smile to reassure others and nothing more.

i'm not that far into the manga, either. i'm sure there's countless more (and probably better) panels to convey this side of trimax vash, but i suppose it also says something that i've found so many panels depicting this so early on.

but the progression of vash's personality is fascinating regardless.

from a tortured, angry loner desperately trying to cling to his morals for rem's sake

to an equally devastated man who devotes himself so completely to acting the role of the fool

and finally to the sad, chronically depressed shell of a person in tristamp who refuses to so much as draw his weapon.

LET THEM COOK💯💯💯

[curlicuecal]

The number of times I've seen strangers on tumblr receive an ANONYMOUS message about someone they reblogged from, often to as vague a tune as "just so you know xyz on that last post is a bad person"

And the secretive whisper campaign recipient responds "omg thank you I'm sorry please don't hurt me I don't know anything about that person of course I've deleted it"

Is so wild to me

And frustrating

And also there's this tiny, evil little voice in the back of my brain going "wow, this is so exploitable, you could exploit this, you could spam so many random messages about literally everyone until everything fell to chaos and maybe someone would even learn something"

Except obviously you can't and shouldn't fight abuse by replicating its tactics and that would inevitably do harm even if it is really tempting and also I wonder what would happen if someone made a bunch of bots for even more chaos

image 1: designs for sayer, from the podcast sayer. it is shown as a large figure wearing a blue and teal cloak with a pattern of stars and a map of typhon on the back. two drawings show it from slightly different angles, showing that the cloak appears to be empty, and a third shows it seen from behind, so the pattern on the cloak is more clearly visible. another drawing shows it from the waist up, with four segmented hands emerging from inside the shadowy darkness of the cloak, gesturing vaugely. a written note pointing to this drawing says 'tends to keep hands (and face!) hidden'. a final drawing shows it looming over a resident, showing that it's much taller than the average person.

image 2: designs for future. it is shown as a long, worm-like creature with a transparent body. inside its body a bright red nervous system can be seen. it has two arms that end in scythe-like claws and a large fan like structure with false eyes that covers its head. it is seen handing from inside of a ceiling, with most of its body concealed. smaller drawings show it with the fan on its face closed, so that it appears to have two long red antenna, sitting back with its claws held in front of it, and lunging forward with its body stretching behind it. a final drawing shows a detail of the fan on its face, showing a side view of how it opens and closes.

image 3: designs for ocean. it is a large, bipedal creature with no arms and a long neck, with a long mane of blue tentacles descending from the bottom of its neck to the ground. its back slopes down to a wave like shape. a drawing shows it walking forward, with a vaugely raptorial stance and its neck held low and parallel to the ground, and another drawing shows it perched on an unseen surface, with its head held below it. a lose sketch shows it towering over a person to show it's size, and a final drawing shows it crouched with its tail fanned out behind it like a peacock.

end id.

taking a stab at designs for the main ai!!! speaker is in the works but i havent figured it out entirely so it'll get it's own post :)
