ok I don't think we as a fandom talk about the way Vash cries blood enough

we only see it once or twice from what I remember, the one definite time being here ^ when the puppet attack first begins & he's dealing with the emotional agony of seeing so many of his family turn into puppets.

so it's clearly something that comes out only when he's in severe emotional distress.

the interesting thing is that Wolfwood is fucking TERRIFIED of him bc of it.

whatever this moment is, Vash is giving off the same sort of oppressive energy that Wolfwood's experienced with Knives. it's the first time during their travels that he's really been forced to recognize What Vash Is. he knew it of course, saw him in Jeneora, but he's such a goofy guy it's easy to forget.

but whatever Vash is doing here, it makes Wolfwood Incredibly aware of what he is.

so the real question i think is What exactly is going on here? is it unintentional? is it simply a response to the emotional agony?

Vash isn't the type to indiscriminately terrify everyone in the vicinity on purpose. he wouldn't be doing this purposefully out of anger while Wolfwood's there. no, in this moment, he's not even angry at all. he's Distraught.

going from This

to this

in just a moment.

yeah. that's some fucking emotional agony. i dont think Vash is doing this entirely on purpose.

but THEN...

as both Leonof and Wolfwood stare at him in fear, Both feeling his oppressive energy, Vash then lets out some sort of blast that blows against everything between him and Leonof. it doesn't destroy anything, doesn't even injure him, but it's a physically tangible effect that scares the Shit out of Leonof & spurs him into motion.

there may be some anger involved in this moment, but it's not the hair-trigger rage you would expect from seeing his family turned into puppets. it's something Quiet, something almost cold. he's distraught, Resigned, & retaliating just because he has to.

Vash hates all of this. he doesn't want to fight him. he fucking Knows this guy too, knew him as a kid, & none of this makes sense. but he knows that he needs to fight him, & doesn't have any kind of choice.

but he's not happy about it. not in the slightest.

Based on this post (tags 4 info)

honestly. half the fun of fantasy aus for me is the Food Descriptions

Libby, McNeill & Libby, 1958

chat is it normal to have to ask my parents if I can eat something before I eat anything????.

Characters baring a mouth full of sharp fangs as show of aggression is top tier but can we talk about how sinister a flash of smooth square omnivore teeth can be. The implications therein? The difference between facing a carnivore vs a member of the terrifyingly, aptly named 'opportunistic eaters'? The fear of being on one's menu, the knowledge that you are on the other's - no matter what you are. The inherent danger of a threat display where there are set rules to avoiding harm turning into a hunt on a dime.

Anyway, thinking about Nikodemus and how beautifully all of this translates into his supernatural setting...

knuckles farm is my everythiiingg tell me abt what he grows :)

Well I like to think of what my family grows or used to grow when I was little ^^ I'm sure a big part of all the crops are fields and gardens that had probably overgrown, that Knuckles found when exploring Angel Island. There could be potatoes, beetroot, cauliflower. They all could be different types than you find on the continent, maybe ancient ones that you can't find anywhere else, or native to Angel Island's climate, maybe some completely new ones. I dream of drawing Knuckles in a greenhouse!! He could grow tomatoes, cucumbers, maybe some peppers. I don't think a greenhouse would survive this long with no one around so maybe Sonic and Tails could help him build it, or rebuild some old one. It's very important that there are grapes! I used to have grapes where they would climb up from the ground in the backyard and surround the balcony and I would sit there and just eat them so I think he deserves the same. Maybe in whatever house he has on the island there could be a grape vine that climbs to his window. An entire grapevine would be cool but I don't know much about that.. I think what's also important are sunflowers. Knuckles gives me a grandma with a farm vibes and that image can't be complete without him eating an entire sunflower daily, he'd much on those seeds like crazy!

Of course there's chao fruit, lots of it probably grows wild but there could be some very old orchards or something like that. There could also be some vegetables that are completely unknown and only grow on the island

He would probably learn how to grow some of them from various texts left by his tribe, and the others would have to be trial and error until he figures it out. Maybe he would accidentally kill some vegetables until he got off the island and he would see someone growing them in their yard or something and he would ask about that.

I LIE, You know that I love you very much and that you are a sweetheart 🥺

i love you too!!

sorry every time I crash, I fall back in love with Kinjo it’s a problem.

mushrooms arent vegetables

I’m a fungus inclusionist, vegetable is more of a social construct than a biological descriptor.

"Drink your water"

"Eat your fruit and vegetables"

"Have enough protein"

"Skip the fast food"

This shouldn't be a message towards adults, why do you need to be reminded to be a normal human being pls I'm begging you

Hey y'all! My mom's been saying I should get an air fryer but I know absolutely nothing about them. What makes an air fryer better than an oven? Are there particular air fryer qualities I should look for?

The fight for lab-grown meat seems like a really odd thing for environmentalists to go to bat for, tbh. Cell-cultured meat literally needs to be fed a sugary chemical slurry that takes more carbon to produce than literally just feeding a regular, living animal. Not to say I'm here for the meat industry as it stands, either, but *both* are bad. Food produced for profit and not for the people and the planet is always going to be exploitative and harm both.

What food(s) does your ocs enjoy? Any particular favorites, and why?

send me questions you have about my character!

As a snake metahuman, meat is essential to Copperhead's diet though he also enjoys fruit for it's natural sweetness! Bananas, figs, apricots - anything soft and easily eaten is both a delicious treat and quick energy booster during lean periods when he's had to lie in wait for particularly skittish targets. Meals were a rarity as a full belly makes for slow reaction times but as his relationship with @question-marked developed, Copperhead's tried (and enjoyed!) new things in his diet, especially pasta. Like his namesake, Copperhead enjoys poultry but is partial to eggs and fish too. One thing he does miss however is the street food from Arizona what with having been born there. You can buy just about anything in Gotham if you know who to ask but good luck finding some half-decent tameles.
