Trying To Decipher The Code Of My Life

A small girl from WisconSIN I like my things and this blog is about all those things

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?

It's like, One Piece is a dystopian fiction, it's a great modern day epic, it's an annoying cartoon, it's a technical marvel, it's a work of a genius, it's a shitty beat 'em up shonen anime, it's annoying, it's an impressive piece of character writing and world building, it's about pirates, it made me cry until I threw up, it's annoying, it's a one of a kind spectacular story, it's bad, it's incredible, its got lots of big boobs

I don’t understand why people who cannot accept any moral grayness or complexity decide to join fandoms for the most emotionally complex stories and then try to shame everyone there who actually is able to understand the material.

the wip title was 'man discovers fatherhood'

got the idea from @kantimplora 's post, tbh i don't know how i haven't thought of this meme for them yet since i have used it already in the past for other fandoms haha and like always i went WAY overboard with this ahhh

And that's what makes Superman SUPERMAN.

Wolfwood executing Rolo in front of Vash and then justifying it as a mercy killing because he sees himself in Rolo will never not fuck me right up

[antiphrastic]

The rollercoaster arc of those episodes! Is so!

First, with Rollo, the show makes you mad at Wolfwood’s perspective

Then, it shows you how he developed that perspective

Then, with Livio, the show (horribly, tragically) validates that perspective

And then it follows it up with Wolfwood desperately trying to cling to his monstrousness, because believing himself a monster is the only thing that lets him live with himself.

[revenantghost]

RIGHT???

And also! In the finale!!! Not only does Conrad ask him something about if he’s putting down his cross (some phrase I can’t remember) and Wolfwood gives a cagey answer, he knows what the monstrous thing to do is. He tries to do it. And he fails.

He goes back for Vash and Meryl.

What she says: "Im fine"

What she wants to say: "One of the most ironic things in trigun is how Vash is a representation of the messiah but is treated as an omen of destruction at best and the literal devil at worse. He has seen humanity at its lowest as proof by his scars, but still chooses to be peaceful. Especially with the revalation of his powers in Trigun Stampede, this shows how he was always destined to be humanity's end. No matter what he does, he will always bring devastation with him, basically doomed despite everything he does to go against both his nature and the narative. His kindness and pacifism are a result of pure willpower and determination, this is most noticable in the manga when it was shown that he was the 'colder' betwen him and his Knives. when it was revealed that when they were younger, Nai was the one who had craved approval from humans and Vash himself being more or less indiferent. This boy was meant to be, destined to be a destroyer, whos only path was villainy. This has only made trigun even more tragic, with the knowledge that our hero, our Vash who's only desire was to co-exist with people, was meant to kill them"

OK i know that we’ve all lost our minds over the animation in this scene, BUT can we also talk about the the sound effects/sound mixing??

I jumped when I heard Vash’s gun go off for the first time in this ep. The deep bass was so jarring, which was heightened by the fact that we’re so not used to hearing Vash SHOOT. 

And then the way that the music fades as they focus on Vash reloading makes time feel like it’s slowing down and we’re there in the moment with him. 

IMO Orange has done an amazing job with this adaptation. The animation has been the focus and rightfully so, but everything else has been incredible as well.

swap! swap! swap!

Gonna say, my absolute favorite Wolfwood moment in Stampede is that one scene where he gets grumpy at Vash softly calling him “Wolfwood..” and spits “I’m Nicholas the Punisher” to hide his humanity behind the role of monster he was forcibly attributed.

And-

And then, this fucking show immediatly follows it with the title card “Wolfwood” which instantly shatters the indifferent mask he desperatly tries to hide behind.

If this isn’t peak cinema, I don’t know what it is.
