reminder to visit museums, even if you feel out of place. you feel out of place because there is an established concept of inaccessibility of "high culture" to the masses, purposefully developed to distinguish between social classes.

take up space, read the plaques, get the audioguides. you are just as entitled and right in being there. visit museums, boycott museums, be expressive about your opinions about museums.

a lot of museums are free, or discounted for youth and students. take advantage of that. check your local art museum. check your local history museum. museums are there for you, they are there to educate the public, not to distinguish between class. it isn't a private collection, it's a public exhibit.

GO TO MUSEUMS!!!!!!!

“My emperor is fine” your emperor has commissioned over 8000 life-sized terracotta soldiers and buried them facing east, in the direction of his recently conquered enemies in the hopes that they will protect him in the afterlife.

LOVE & PEACE!!

The official Trigun account has shared a new illustration to commemorate the series’ conclusion.

i didn’t realize how much i needed a new version of a story that asks “what if love was enough to save them? what if the cycle of violence could be stopped, this time, for just a little while? what if he wasn’t alone this time, and he lived?”

and i don't mean this in a fanservice way i mean this in a “i find three versions of a story that are clearly in conversation and the final one asks a hopeful question" interesting way. maybe ill feel differently once stargaze is over and i can evaluate all three versions in their completion! who knows! but i would ask that people think about it more than just "it's completely different from trimax and that is bad"

i also really like the solarpunk turn for trigun. it started as a love letter to westerns, and then clear homage to classic scifi, and we thought it would go more grimdark cyberpunk. but instead we're getting a hopeful version of humanity's future. to me, that's really cool.

[hashtagloveloses]

looking back on this now that the series is over, and despite it being clearly rushed, i still feel this way. it could have been developed better had it been 3 seasons instead of two, with multiple cours, but overall, i like this message. there were some story choices (and character design choices...) that i really disliked, but there were clearly bigger economic factors at play. i still love the series dearly

my biggest compliment to the stampgaze project overall is that i thought the sort of bleak ending of trimax, that vash must continue being on the run forever alone, kind of made the ending sort of meaningless. i like the idea that he is forced by other people to accept LOVE!

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.

What always gets me about learning about settler colonialism is how once you learn about it you cannot unsee the violence to the land itself. My home state was previously nearly 100% wetlands, apart of the wider Ohio river valley whose biodiversity supported such large populations of hundreds of different species that many contemporary source from settlers describe it as like the garden of Eden.

The Indigenous people who farmed and hunted here (and still farm and hunt in what land they have been able to keep and reclaim) were able to grow miles of upon miles of crops with multiple harvests a year, encouraging this biodiversity by creating forest gardens with incredible amounts of food from staples like corn and squash to local fruits like pawpaws to European imports like apples alongside controlled burns which allowed fields and buffalo ranges to expand.

Nowadays my state is known almost exclusively for its fields of nothing but corn and soy beans. Driving through in between the comparatively small cities you'll see nothing but fields where the plethora of different trees and plants were chopped down mile by mile, the remaining wetlands drained and flattened, and the rich black soils robbed of their nutrients through decades upon decades of monocrop agriculture now preserved through the life blood of petrochemical fertilizers which destroy the surrounding environment.

This process was done mile by mile as the tens of thousands of Indigenous people were killed and displaced by settlers and the US army, the land measured and sold acre by acre to white settlers who raped the land as described, filling the pockets of wealthy land speculators (like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson) who bought the land directly from the government in schemes so corrupt historians have dedicated entire careers to mapping out their dramas.

It's like learning about commodity fetishism and suddenly seeing hundreds of strangers in the products that surround you. Once you learn how the land was destroyed for profit you'll never look at the miles of fields or the cracks in the concrete of buildings built on wetlands or the stench of now obsolete canals built solely for a once boat-dependent economy with no care for the environment the same.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

The daredevil who truly lives only when he feels the chill of death upon him x the druid who heals by making a desert wrapped in eternal night remember itself as it was in sunlight x the grieving knight who knows them both by the touch of their souls from somewhere close to death. WHO is doing it like the seekers throuple truly.
