Lost Technology for Lost Technology

Blog of an OG Trigun fan who just got their fandom rekindled by Stampede! For fanart old and new. One of the biggest Vash-stans you'll ever meet. Rem Saverem is an underated character (fight me)!

[lost-technology]

Welcome to Lost Technology!

I go by Shadsie around the Internet generally and have several other blogs around tumblr - this is a sideblog, so if I follow you, it’s from my junk-drawer main, @littleapocalypsekitten. I have a smattering of sideblogs ranging from other fandoms to a separate original artblr and an original writeblr.  I’m an OG Trigun fan since I discovered the original 1998 anime back in 2001. Was inactive in the fandom for a long time until Trigun: Stampede rekindled my interest.  I am in my 40s.  To people who would say that I am too old for fandom, I’m actually too old to give any fucks (and get off my lawn!).  To younger people who are accepting of older fans but would prefer not to interact, I understand, hence the full-disclosure.  I’m pleased to interact with anyone and especially with fellow older fans.  To you young ‘uns who don’t mind interacting, I guess I can be Granny.   Not currently interested in Discord due to past bad experiences on the platform and a general distaste for real-time chat with lots of humans. (I’m a bit like Millions Knives that way, despite my desire to cultivate a Vash the Stampede-like spirit).   Here you’ll find fanart (I’ll label the old stuff) and various random Trigunny thoughts and anything from the fandom I want to reblog.  I post fanfiction on Ao3, but for my really old stuff from my first steps in the fandom, you’ll have to go digging through the advert-laden trash-pile that is fanfiction.net.  (I’d rather most of that stuff be ignored).   The blog’s name comes from a panel of the Trigun Maximum manga in which Vash is admiring a new coat and gear being given to him by his suspended-ship friends and Brad tells him that it’s “lost technology for lost technology.”  Huge Vash-Stan, to the point of listing him as my personal hero, even when during my long period away from the fandom off on other interests. I also find myself doing a lot of fanwork for Rem.  Not a big shipper for this fandom, myself, although I may reblog SFW ship art if I like it.  As for my own content, I’m pretty Gen-centric.

My pumpkin plants seem to have developed flower-buds. Looks like they liked that Trigun music I played for them. Ah, the power of Plant-song!

Song: “Chords” by The Amazing Devil

Anime: Trigun (1998)

I can show you the wooo- Wait, wrong movie.

Wanted to do a Ghibli redraw for a while now and since I wanted to draw their Stargaze designs for once, thought might as well. I find it hilarious that WW and Vash look the freaking same. Like, me putting cracks on Vash's glasses and arm and making WW's fucking boob window bigger in my old Future AU sketches were more of a change. 😂 Well, all the design budget went into Meryl and Milly and I'm not complaining Also added some sketches I did the last few weeks! I post them on @grimmy-sketches and Im not always gonna include sketches if I do them, but since I know a lot of people here followed for the Trigun stuff I thought it would eb nice to share here as well.

Conrad dragging injured Legato away to safety despite no order or indication from Knives that he should do so... you beautiful bald old fuck they could never make me hate you

[lost-technology]

He had some honor in the manga. Stampede / Stargaze just turned him into a total asshole. Valid character change or misunderstanding of the character? I'll leave that up for debate.

Wolfwood texting Legato after today's episode

(I fully understand there are fake out deaths in the manga and he's probably not out of the woods yet so don't come for me, this is just a funny joke)

Anyone else think that the geranium-plant in the pot that Vash is carrying around at the end is Knives? I mean, it's implied that Knives just became / expended all his energy to become all of the greenery (and water, apparently) of the Jul-Ai-crater, so maybe it's just a piece of Knives, but, who knows? Maybe that's "Knive's mind" or "Knives' heart" in a similar way as the apple tree at the end of Trigun Maximum? This time, he decided to "become those damn flowers Vash and Rem always liked so much. *grumble.*" So, Vash, wherever he runs to, can't let "Knives" be lonely and has to cart a potted flower around wherever he goes!

#Vash puts it on his bedside table and refuses to move it so now every time Meryl or Wolfwood bring up the idea of having sex with him#they have to deal with the fact that they will be watched by reincarnated Knives-plant#Vash 'multiple incestuous complexes' the stampede does not understand why this makes them uncomfortable#it's like if you have a statue of Jesus on your bedside table and you invite your girlfriend over#Jesus will be a part of whatever you do like it or not "Well, I don't understand, I mean, there was that time when we stole all of Rem's socks and well, we were gonna hide 'em in the Geoplant room, but Nai got really curious as to what one of them would feel like... you know... not on a foot..." "Vash...gross!" "I watched him, Meryl, and then I got a sock and... well, we did that a lot... Hey, we thought it was funny! Rem... much less so. We got some really awkward lectures." "Vash, I don't want to hear about what puberty did to you! And how your mother dealt with it, and ESPECIALLY twin-wank-time with your brother! Why are males so disgusting? Are you just born with it?" "'Fraid so, not that I ever had much privacy at the orphanage, myself, and we couldn't get our clothes messed up, because we didn't have enough of 'em, so we couldn't waste socks." "I can't believe we're discussing this." "Look, my brother is a geranium. He doesn't even have eyes anymore." "This threesome gonna happen or not, needle-noggin?"

Incredibly sorry for the stupidity. It is my bedtime and I am very sleepy.

Man, sometimes when you're doing a long WIP fanfic, you forget what you referenced where and what you were planning on referencing and haven't yet. I just had the thought that I liked Mafu's mix of Millions Knives' Stampede-theme with Rem's original Sound Life so much that I had referenced it in Survivor's Guilt (Knives singing his part from his lair while Rem signs Sound Life simultaneously from the desert, each unknowing that they are singing at the exact same time), but... I haven't yet? I need to go over my fic every once in a while to keep MYSELF up to date on it when I'm writing new chapters, I usually just skim previous chapters so I can go "Oh, I did that there," and I thought I had done that already for a moment, but no, I hadn't yet, and it's just something that I'd wanted to do in it at some point. The fanfic iceberg even hits the author's Titanic sometimes. Anyway, I need to find a place to write that little atmospheric scene. I already have a lot of stupid little references in that fic that probably only make sense to me. I have a chapter titled after a favorite American food and travel show (that I think is known worldwide?) I have another chapter named after a Bing Crosby song that is prominent as a background track in the Fallout video games with a reference to Vash's marksmanship abilities being analogous to a special targeting-mechanic in those games. I reference a now-obscure but well-known among '70s science fiction movie nerds movie in one of the Tesla-arc background chapters. I reference freaking Lackadaisy in one of the latter chapters! (Although Rem and Vash's bootlegger-rivals are not cats when in Noman's Land). The story's not so reference-full as to be annoying, but like all fanficcers of long work, I put dumb things into my work. Then again, canon Trigun Maximum and some supplemental materials have some little refs that I've caught. I mean, there is infamously the original Monev, who owes his existence entirely to the fact that Nightow likes Venom. And, in Badlands Rumble, I'm not sure if the Dodongo Brothers references some Japanese-cultural thing I am not familiar with if it DOESN'T reference The Legend of Zelda. (Dodongo is a type of enemy in some of the games. You defeat it by feeding it bombs). Owing to Nightow's known geekiness (and one of his end-manga comedy bits where he had his little self-character dressed as Link), I think he was straight-up referencing Zelda. There's a scene on the sandsteamer in original Trigun (comic) where Vash has Wolverine's claws. If Nightow gets to draw Vash as Wolverine, when I'm doing fanfic of his work, I get to have him pursued by human-form Lackadaisy characters and have Rem watch Silent Running and start thinking of doing a type of ship-mutiny over Tesla that the main character of that did over the world's last bastion of nature, but (sadly) talk herself out of it. And apparently, I was going to do even more referencing to Things on the Internet and haven't yet. I wonder if any other writers of long works have that problem. You work on something for literal years and pause and go "Oh, did I put that in yet? *Checks* no."

Oh, just me, playing the Millions Knives x Sound Life mix-song for the container-crops on my apartment balcony. Honestly, we're gonna need to thin out the pumpkins, cucumbers and zucchini pretty soon. They went wild and got too big / numeorus for the moving-tote we have them planted in. We honestly do not know what we are doing very much, this is all a big experiment. (Also a possible survival-future for us since America's getting bad, but that wasn't our primary purpose in trying out gardening. We just wanted to hobby-garden to see if we could do it). Anyway, since it's Plant-song, I'm seeing if our plants like it. If one of them shoots up an actual flower today (we have flowers, too), then we'll know.

Hey! Just a reminder! AO3 does NOT have an app. This garbage was made by theives who steal fan artist’s work and sell it back to you.

“Oh, but it’s free!” There are ads. They are making money off of this. They are stealing from the creators you love and you are hurting those same creators if you use this app or any similar app.

Don’t use it. Report it at every opportunity.

[lost-technology]

I don't write for Ao3 paid, so if you use this on any of mine, where's my fuckin' money???
