frank is destined to die by his firewood burning out, so what about other methods of death? the logical (and probably canon) answer to this would be that if he dies by something else, then the firewood also spontaneously burns up.
but okay. look. listen. what if. frank could survive anything that would otherwise kill him, but every time he heals it burns his firewood more and more. what if he could shapeshift back lost limbs and organs but at the cost of his life energy, sapping him bit by bit. what if he destroyed himself in the pursuit of duty.

Tell me why in the comments or tags!! I think either Galar or Alola. I lived in Scotland for a bit and would love to move back so I LOVE Galar for that!! But something about the Alola region is so appealing! It feels so peaceful and like there’s a lot to do!!

i'm sure it's been said but i do love how trimax handles wolfwoods death. i've seen so many stories that have characters die and they just go away after. i'm really used to stories where the other characters aren't allowed to grieve, the story keeps going and it feels like the other characters aren't really affected or get over it really easily. but in trimax wolfwoods death is so important. we see other characters grieving him. vash protecting the orphanage, expanding his power when he really shouldn't, because it was wolfwood's home, even though wolfwood is already gone. he gets an actual burial. vash and livio eating their way through the grief, which is more comedic but still shows us how important he was to the two of them, sets up how in many ways they're fighting in his memory.
even after he's gone he's still present in the story in such a strong way. we can see how he's affected the other characters, even when they don't explicitly mention him it's obvious that they're thinking about him. what he did when he was alive, and his death itself, are so important to the story even after he's not there. not just in a really abstract "this is someone we lost" way (though there are a lot of times his death and sacrifice motivate vash and livio to fight harder!) he's present in the finale in a material way to livio, who uses his serums to help fight against elendira, which ofc also ties into the way wolfwoods choice to ally with vash and fight against knives gave livio strength to do the same. wolfwood showed him that there are things worth fighting for, things worth protecting. that your body is a weapon, but you can choose what to do with it, use it for something meaningful.
and the way vash kills legato in order to save livio? vash outright says that he did it to protect what wolfwood fought for, sacrificed his life for. it's tied to the ongoing arc between vash and wolfwood, their conflict over the necessity of killing others. wolfwood pushed vash into having an understanding of his views when he was alive, demonstrating the necessity of that violence. simultaneously, vash inspired wolfwood to follow his path, a kinder one. vash remembers what wolfwood said to him, and his death gives those words added poignancy. wolfwood well and truly sacrificed everything to protect what he loved and fight for what he believed in. how can vash let that go to waste? he sacrifices something just as meaningful to himself, and he pulls the trigger. it brings him closer to wolfwood in a way he never was before. he understands now, fundamentally, what motivates people, motivated wolfwood, to act as he did when he took lives. there are so many other ways wolfwood is present in the story after his death i can't talk about all of them but it makes me so crazy

my conversion feels out of place.
i wanted to post about my shabbat and how wonderful i felt during it. i felt amazing and i had a wonderful restful day and i felt closer to g-d than i ever have.
but i just turned on the news and i felt a wave of sickening feelings wash over me. my happiness and joy of conversion feel out of place when those in israel are under fire. i felt so happy and joyful and now i feel so frightened and upset and worried and angry and hurt. my happiness feels out of place among these feelings. my conversion feels out of place among current events. how can such a happy process take place at such a terrible time.
i don’t know whether i should push through with my joy and contentment, or if i shouldn’t. who am i to be joyful with israel under attack.

Other heroes will have a specific city they patrol and will be extremely territorial about Their City™. But even then, some city blocks get special attention because they have higher crime rates and they really just patrol down town areas. Also, usually anything outside of city limits just doesn't exist.
Meanwhile the Flash Family patrols the entire world and thinks border lines are fake. There are a few states that get special attention (Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Alabama) because the Flash family has decided that those are their states. They will still get extremely territorial about their states because, while border rules don't apply to them, they do apply to everyone else.
(The three in the middle belong to the Flash. Alabama has been claimed by Impulse)
