oftentimes two guys who want to fuck each other not fucking each other is hotter than if they fucked each other

[eldritchneuro]

Vash gets Hoppered killed by Vash's own hand but not through his own agency whilst Vash attempts to kill Legato of his own free will but fails in it. Very very inch-resting commentary that really serves to thematically drive a wedge between the presence of death and the intentional choice of violence, aligns quite a bit with my own personal reading of trimax where it's not about the killing, really, it's about the agency involved on Vash's part. Basically everything goes back to the core premise at the heart of trigun wherein 'Vash is a gun trying to navigate the fact that he's a gun.'

I'm fully convinced studio orange had massive funding pulled from trigun production. It's the only thing that makes any sense of stargaze. When stampede came out they talked about how they had material for many seasons of trigun and hoped to be able to follow through on it. The end of stampede teased Lina and Chronica, neither of whom actually made it into stargaze. Orange trigun team were left with one season to tell the rest of their story and they did the best they could & still delivered some beautiful content. It's not what we wanted, but my point is I don't think it's what they wanted either.

Anyways idk how to give thorough thoughts without stuff getting misunderstood so all im gonna say is Stargaze suffers from current day production standards and writing choices the same way the 98 anime suffers from 90s standards. It wasn’t perfect at all and Stampede was far FAR stronger, but I still found enjoyment in Stargaze. I’m glad Stampede introduced me to Trigun because it meant I got to read Trimax, I’m glad I had more Trigun to watch these last few weeks. I’d rather try and focus on all the positives while putting all my thoughts together still

Vash the Stampede: hi my name is Vash the Stampede. I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Love. all I really want to do is have a sandwich and a morning coffee without getting chased by bandits

some bandit: (gunshot) absolutely not. square up faggot

Vash: rats.

[gunfight]

Vash the Stampede: my name is Vash the stampede. I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Love.could I please have a sandwich

Meryl from the Bernardelli Insurace Society: how long are you going to sit on your ass doing nothing but playing games with children and doing chores for the elderly and disabled and looking after lonely youths and cooking dinner for the homeless

Vash: I've been here for like 2 days

Milly Thompson: Hi Vash!

Vash: Hi Milly

[exit left pursued by bounty hunters]

Vash the Stampede: (panting, entering a bar) my name is Vash the stampede.... I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Good L*rd what is going on in here

Hostage: mphdsfhapff!!!! mffmpphhf!!!!

Villain of the week: well if it isn't the elusive Vash the Stampede! you see it all started when I was 4 days old and you kicked me like a football and then exploded my parents to death with a laser canon and killed every puppy in a ten ile (translator's note: this is the No Man's Land equivalent of the American Mile) radius

Vash: I don't remember doing that but well I suppose you can shoot me if it'll make you feel better

Side character of the week: Are you insane? Just shoot him instead???

Vash: but my mom told me not to be mean to people

Villain of the week: (still going) And as I am now 47 years old I have finally decided to get my revenge. Say your prayers, Vash the Pisshead

[Wall explodes and reveals a motorcycle with a sexy priest on it]

[sfx: guitar with a hint of electric distortion]

Vash: is that..... Wolfwood?

Meryl who was in the background this whole time: the priest?

Nicholas Dickolas Wolfwood: (brings his fingers up to a pair of luscious lips to grab the cigarette from right between them, taking one more slow inhale before crushing the cherry red underneath his heel)(sensually cocks one of his 8 guns) Are you just gonna let this guy talk down to you like that needle noggin?

Vash: I g-

[guitar riff bumper]

[guitar riff bumper]

Vash: -uess not, since you're here to help now... (slow, warm smile) Wolfwood

Nicholas D. ranged Wolfwood: Vash

Milly who was also in the background this whole time: Hi mr priest man! isn't this lovely, I haven't seen you since the last time you spoke with mr Vash yesterday evening when you were helping him buckle all those silly belts on his pants after he had lost them somehow

Vash: On a cactus

Milly: On a cactus! Oh it must've hurt so terribly; how fortunate that Mr Priest man was there to help you

Wolfwood: Hi Milly

[gunfight]

Villain of the week: ohhhhh curses!!! CURSES!!!! I have spent my whole existence getting ready to fight Vash the Stampede but he's just too good at swallowing all my bullets!!!!!!

Vash the Stampede: my tragic dead mother would be sad if I didn't swallow everyone's bullets so I've trained diligently every morning at digesting gunpowder without dying immediately

Wolfwood: [internally: I can't believe it. All this time I've spent walking the path of darkness, reaching to a pure light that I could never grasp, and yet here is a man who's dedicated his life and his body to the pursuit of Peace. I wish he were a woman so I could fuck him romantic style. I've got a whole plan for it and everything. Whiskey, sunset, a bed with no sand in it, 6 hours. This would be fully and completely possible if only he were a woman. Unfortunately he's not, but I can still think about the what-ifs. platonically of course. Maybe if he got some good dick he'd stop being so annoying. And maybe he'd stop making me rethink my morals. I wonder if the seven drunken handies meant anything to him. Platonically]

Wolfwood: Well anyway it looks like my job is done here

Vash: (teary) Will I see you again?

Wolfwood: I don't know. And besides, whenever I look at you, I'm reminded of everything I hate about myself. You know, it hurts.

[exit Nicholas D. Wolfwood pursued by repressed homosexual desires and immense catholic guilt]

Vash the Stanned Peat: (looking out the window like a widow whose husband was killed in action) Nicholas... D... Wolfwood.......

Meryl who was in the background that entire time, yes, the whole time: shut the fuck up already

Vash: when will it be my turn Meryl. When

GENUINELY WHAT THE FUCK IS THEIR PROBLEM

[infriga]

The differences between the 3 versions of Wolfwood from the manga/adaptations and how they act towards Vash in particular are really funny to me.

98 anime Wolfwood: You're a funny little bug of a man. I wanna steal your lunch money.

Stampede Wolfwood: I-It's not like I like you or anything, baka...

Manga Wolfwood: I hate you so much. You're my new religion. I wanna strangle you with your own coat tails. I wanna fuck you so bad it makes me look stupid. *Kill Bill sirens*
