just know that knives still does this whenever he sees a spider
@mechahero sent . . . throat clearing. "Bitch." //feel free to ignore this fhdbfngdngj
He looks from one side, to another, feigning confusion, ❝ did someone say something ? . . . Must have been the wind . . . ❞
IGNORANT ! IGNORANT ! IGNORANT !
There’s an unhappy giggle at that anger. Vash found a week point, he found something that made Knives uncertain. Something that made him feel the way he’d made vash feel on many occasions. and it was thrilling in the worst ways it ever could be, especially for someone who swore he was nothing like his twin brother. “How are they any of my concern?”
“I Met Vash the Stampede.” the words are- strained? giddy? its hard to tell between the two with how his tone lilts. “Before his Knives turned him into a hollowed out shell in an attempt to make him his clone.” That’s all the ‘remade’ vash was, a husk, a shell, a horrific, failed attempt at a clone of his own damned twin. “And he was a better brother than you’ve ever been to me.”
“But that’s not all- I was trying to save his Wolfwood, From Him. but i failed and now I’m back here, with you trying to torment me while one of my friends has become so fed up with my bullshit, that he might as well think i’m holding him back when that was never my intention.” there’s an indignantly giddy little squeal of a sound. “Am i getting under your skin, Knives?”
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HIS BROTHER. Vash, without a doubt, isn’t acting like himself. It makes Knives wonder if something else, beyond ‘ death ’ happened. Which is upsetting to think about. But Vash is already noticing that. Knives didn’t want him to think he has the upper hand here.
❝ I didn’t want a clone, I wanted my brother to be by my side, ❞ he says only so Vash doesn’t get him mixed up with the other ‘ Knives. ’ & the more he looks at his own Vash - the angrier he grows. First, at himself. But now it’s mostly directed towards what he sees as Vash’s own recklessness, & as Wolfwood, the assigned babysitter’s neglect. He lets the better brother comment slide - something he would’ve rolled his eyes over had he not been so distressed at the moment. Making brothers with an alternate self, how pathetic. Didn’t work out so well, did it ?
❝ You’re not, ❞ a lie. ❝ Why the hell should his Wolfwood matter so much ? ! Dammit, Vash - are you seriously going to risk your life for any alternate versions of ourselves that you’ll meet ? ? That would be impossible - you should only focus on us. The life you’re in NOW. Your ‘ friend ’ has every right to be fed up. You ran off without telling anyone, then you got yourself killed. For WHAT ? If the selfish little humans really do care, you’ve greatly upset them all with your ignorance. ❞
in case you guys wanna know how stupid i am.
IDIOT ! ! !
“No, Knives, I died, my new double tried to tear me apart, skewered me with vines. I Felt it.” The way he describes would unsettle even the weakest of men, an uncanny creature with an uncanny experience. He didn’t expect Knives to believe it, as Bizzare and real as it was for Vash. It would have been very surreal to someone who’d just decided to show up again, all to torment a man who’s own sanity was seemingly hanging by piano wire.
“I thought he was You. I Called out for you to stop when it happened, I saw you in his place, hurting me, causing me distress. Right before everything turned to nothing.”
What could he even say to that ? Knives can’t even compute his own feelings. He’s furious. At whom ? At himself for not being there ? Or at Vash for actually getting himself killed ? There are times when he wishes for his brother’s death. When he promises he’ll kill him with his own hands. In the end, he can’t actually go through with it. No, he may torment Vash. But he could never end him. The very thought grips at his heart, & chokes him. Just what it’s doing right now.
He bites down on his lip, his fist tightening & trembling. ❝ I’d - ❞ never go that far ? Could he say that with conviction ? Could he make it sound believing ? Should he ? Vash may be his brother, but for now, they still have contradicting ideals, & goals. ❝ How could you - ❞ there’s a cracking in his pitch. Is it regret ? Remorse ? Or that anger again ? ❝ How could you have been SO STUPID to get yourself killed like that ? ! How were ALTERNATE VERSIONS of ourselves any of your concern - or even worth dying for ? ! ❞
REALLY infuriating . . .
“It’s happening again, with another version of us, with a brainwashed Vash and a Knives who’s arguably worse than you. If i were to drag Livio into the mess there’s a chance if something goes wrong he would get hurt, or caught in the fucking Blast once the inevitable happens. I Know you think i probably hold the same shitty beliefs you do and are trying to use this as an example, but there’s more to it than what you, or Livio think. I fucking- I Died Knives. Genuinely, wholly, Died.” And the way he mentions near death is unnervingly unbothered. “Don’t know for how long, but I died and I came back”
Eyes widen - unsure how to process what was said. Although, the alternate versions of the two brothers may have been bizarre, & far - fetched. The brain washing of his alt brother may be crazier. Another July is almost unimaginable. But Vash mentioning his own death is a bigger concern. Knives won’t admit it, but it upsets him. However, he chooses to be rational before panicking. Then . . . he rests, & exhales slowly through his nose - almost a sigh.
❝ Surely, you didn’t die, ❞ he concluded with little context simply because he’s in denial. ❝ You’re right here. You must’ve been comatose, instead. ❞
pathetic brother . . .
They’re getting fucking nowhere. “Knives. Do you- fucking remember July?”
❝ Of course. How could I forget ? ❞
in denial . . .
“I do not.” he did. sort of. “I don’t mean to make him feel like that’s all he’s good for its just- some things are too dangerous, even for him.”
❝ Tsk. Tsk. I sincerely don’t believe you, Vash. I believe you’re lying. You’re making excuses because you refuse to acknowledge your own beliefs. If you truly believed Livio is your equal - you would’ve let him help. Two heads are better than one. But you didn’t see how he could make you stronger. You only saw a human, & therefore, you saw weakness. ❞
no . . .
“Yours is revealing nothing but what you think, Knives. I Didn’t tell Livio anything ‘cause there’s shit hitting the fan, and it got even me nearly killed.”
❝ Because he’s human, & you didn’t think there’s any way to help you ? So, you keep him around like an emotional support animal. Therefore, you do view humans as below you. ❞
i think the funniest critique of the anime is...
when people say why didn’t vash just kill knives if he was gonna paralyze knives in the first place. like they’re acting as though he’ll be paralyzed for LIFE. because that’s just being Sadistic. and it’s like... did you... not watch the anime ? vash literally blew off knives’ LEGS and entire plantussy. and he managed to REGENERATE ALL THAT. and like, even if he SOMEHOW couldn’t heal his wounds and walk again. like... do y’all forget the world of tg actually has HIGHLY ADVANCED PROSTHETICS ??? like vash LITERALLY has a robot arm that also doubles as a GUN ???? like if knives comes along and is a Better Person, then... he can just get prosthetics, too.
quite revealing . . .
“So are you.”
❝ So ? I think my question was far more important than yours. Yours is accusing me of being petty. Mine is revealing your true thoughts. ❞
proving my point . . .
“Did you crawl out of the grave just to kick me while i’m down?”
❝ You’re avoiding the question. ❞
❝ wow, vash - ! you really know how to treat your humans. didn't you say they're equal to you. or are you going to admit that you don't actually believe that ? ❞

He’s got one foot on a firework shell the size of someone’s head “If i threw this after lighting it do you think it’d go higher?”
He is exhausted. “ ... Y’know what ? Sure, Vash. Why don’t you go try that ? ”
