"I want to spend my tomorrows with him" or something

cry- C.A.S

Lay me down in golden dandelions

'cause I've been waiting for this moment all my life

Follow me into the dark

Would you crush him or keep him in a jar?

Look, I don't know what's going on here, but I feel things

We wish you a merry creechur and a happy new Vash<3

He knew only two laws - love & peace...

In Trigun Maximum, we are told by Midvalley that Knives never smile or show happiness, and he only saw once satisfaction on the Plant's face from the revenge he is inflicted upon humankind.

However, some chapters later, we have a flashback from Nicholas' first and only one on one interaction with Knives, where he tried to kill him but is frozen by fear. Knives wakes up and FUCKING SMILE at this. Why? He killed time and time again without expressing some kind of power trip (I mean, he has a power complex, as he sees plants as superiors, but he isn't shown to get delighted in humans' pain. They are like bugs to him, crushing them under his foot without a care), so it's not just "look at this human learning his place, shivering from fear at my power". This scene is incredible, Knives is so angelic with his long hair, and even totally naked and recovering, his presence is so strong Nicholas can feel he has no chance against him. But the angel is merciful today, and that's a first. He has crushed his most loyal follower body without a care just some days ago because he dared suggest humans could kill his brother. He will kill Conrad the moment he learns he betrayed him. He doesn't fuck around, human's life has no value for him, he probably has killed a ton of his followers in the last decades for daring to betray him. But not Wolfwood. Nicholas D. Wolfwood gets a special treatment, for some reason.

And that's it. Knives is never shown expressing something negative toward Wolfwood, when he does for anyone else. He discusses Legato's life with Elendira like he's nothing but an object (nobody likes Legato, it's incredible. Elendira even tries to kind of bond with Nicholas over their mutual dislike of Legato, and he's like "bitch, you're not my friend") He shows A LOT of anger and disappointment toward Vash. But Wolfwood? No, not even once. When he talks about Nicholas, it's to PRAISE him. When do Knives praise humans??? And if he looks bored in the panel, it's because he is tired (physically, as he yawns, or tired of Legato, who seems pretty jealous that Wolfwood is getting special mission and praise).

Nicholas D. Wolfwood is the only human Knives has showed he is interested in. He likes this one. He woke up to this weird priest pointing a small gun at him, frozen by fear, and saw something he liked. And that's why Wolfwood is given the special mission to babysit Vash, because Knives likes this one. And we don't know why because we are never let into Knives' brain during those moments.

Idk, it just makes me crazy.

Tested some brushes, eventually got frustrated and tired, still love Ghostwood very much. Sorry for the silly sketches:(

Have this big boi separetely, I really like how he turned out despite all my lineart mistakes (I got soooo confused and the brush was difficult to tame but ohhhh the TeXtUrE)

(AU belongs to shelternmberone)

Please have this little vw sketch i did back in october while im struggling to survive office work and the fact that it's winter already (im shaking in terror)

i definitely think that vash has a weird ability to fit into small spaces like how cats do. weird bendy little guy who you sometimes just discover in spaces that humans could never fit, despite being insanely tall

The revelation

Oh.... Oh my god..... I lost my words..... Ghostwood au hits me harder and harder....... One day i'll just start crying goo i swear.......

Okay I'm deeply curious what's going on with ghostwood!vash because what does "coping with the fact that his reality is Not Real" mean. What horrors is he facing? Are people still people, or are they paper cut outs? Does the desert stretch out for miles or is the world suddenly just a little smaller when he walks it? If he took more then 10 steps is he somewhere else or right back where he started? Does he still recognize the rest of the people he loves or is Meryl and Milly suddenly inverse colors and static tv noises??

YOU. YOU GET IT

Because like. All of the above. World is breaking apart around him, he hardly can predict what's going to happen when he turns the corner. I think one of main uncomfortable sensations is that he is made of lead while everything else is like wet tissues. Can't even grab a bottle without hand going through it like it's clay. Directions don't make sense anymore, people start speaking gibberish, colors fading.

I think it would be really bad on him, because he put everything on the line for this world, for his friends, and then turns out none of it mattered. Can't even mourn properly, because all of it means Knives, Wolfwood, Rem, July, are reduced to nothing. And i think in that time he evades contacting any of his friends, because he doesn't want to see them like he sees regular bystanders act around him, all wrong and disjointed.

I like to think of this recognition as not literal knowledge of being a character, but as a sort of cosmic horror experience. It isn't something Vash (and Wolfwood too) can fully understand, but it changes fundamentally the reality they inhabit in ways that are distressing and unexpected. And it has a feedback loop, because now that the story is over, then does it mean everything is going to disappear now and there's nothing that can be done about it?

Much to think about.

oh no my baby got himself arrested

something is up with that priest

He is on his way to steal some sweets (and bite some ankles)
