The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye

Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!

I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.

lot of terfs have been reblogging this so I may as well publicly state that the woman on the right is modeled with permission after my transfemme friend. if you relate to it as strongly as many of you claim in the tags I urge you to reflect upon that with empathy and compassion about the depth of experiences you truly do share with trans women.

otherwise fuck off I guess. my art is not fuel for your hatred.

Adding on to this:

That's where Vash's character starts, but it's not the core of his character. It's cool, it's impressive, but it tells you almost nothing about who he is as a person.

Vash is someone who believes in love and peace, to the point of self destruction. He will literally stop trying to save an entire shipload of people from certain death because one of the people holding them hostage is bleeding AFTER this person has shot Vash, because he can't accept the idea of casualties.

He wants to save everyone, and refuses to accept the reality that that isn't always possible. When shown a butterfly caught in a spider's web, he tries to save the butterfly, despite the fact that that means the spider will starve. When someone else solves the problem by killing the spider, and pointing out that it needs to eat to live, Vash doesn't have an answer. He just says that he wants to save both of them, without having an actual idea of how to do that.

And he pays for this perspective. A big part of his character arc is failing to save people, and dealing with the consequences of that failure. He's seen people gunner down in front of him. He's watched enemies choose death over surrender. One of the biggest moments is when he is forced to take a life to keep people he loves from suffering, and it breaks him. He's convinced that there has to be a solution where nobody dies, and blames his own weakness for failing to reach that goal, rather than abandon his idealism.

In the end, he refuses to let this go. The way he grows beyond this is recognizing that he can always try again, and do better next time. He finally understands "the ticket to the future is always open" means that you can fail, and pick yourself back up to try again. It forces him to accept that he will fail, that he can't save everyone, but that he can always pick himself up and try again. Maybe he'll do better next time. He'll never know if he gives up.

THAT"S what makes him a great character. Not the super gun skills, not the superweapon he carries, not his transdimensional powers. It's fighting for an idealistic vision that is incompatible with reality, and refusing to give up on it despite everything that's thrown at him.
