Alrighty!! So poll results are out (thank you so much!!!) and I'm taking it as a go-ahead for this event! Lurker majority, welcome~!
So, the tag will be #tri98watchparty, @ this blog and I will find you immediately in case your post doesn't show on the tumblr tags.
The duration of the event will be monitored (softly) from now until the first week of August (because that is 26 weeks for those who'd like the time), and primarily during the month of April (where the event will follow one episode per day for 26 days).
The prompts are set up so that anyone can build their own watch party experience however way fits them best, and of course the prompts are just there as suggestion ideas for topics and everyone is free to ignore them entirely.
The main goal of this is to have fun with your friends, on your own, with the community. Interact or lurk, we are all sharing the love and appreciating the media we were given.
It goes without saying that the main rule is to not be mean or aggressively negative towards anyone. Everyone is allowed to like and dislike something so long as no one is hurting another. I'm excited for discussions and banter!
All of this being said, if you would all like me to make a trigger warning list for each episode, please let me know!!! I've seen some out there, but I'd be happy to double check for any specific triggers that anyone has, and I can post a list with time stamps if preferred. Just specify the triggers you want flagged.
Without further delay, prompts below, and fun away!

Ep8: And Between the Wasteland and Sky
Late to the @trigun98watchparty. Better late than never.
Someone else said that the sand steamer arc is what they have to get through to get to the part where Wolfwood arrives. Can't disagree. But still, we get some background and character building.
"Aw, man! Death and Poverty like me so much, they brought friends!
Not to mention the Insurance Girls!" --Vash the Stampede
--Vash might be emotional, but he's no pushover, either. He tells Kaite to compartmentalize and start thinking of a way out. He's had to do the same, constantly. Survive now, cry later.
--How old is Kaite, exactly? How did he get all this expertise fixed in his head before his voice has changed? My son is 13 and still doesn't know where to find a fork in the kitchen.
--The pen-and-earring combo never makes another appearance.
--a pen, wtf? who are you, Sailor Moon?
--First large-scale demonstration that Vash will mess his opponents up good but won't kill them, no matter what it costs him, and no matter how wounded he is in the process. Strong foreshadowing at the unstoppable force later seen in "Diablo."
--Either Vash is really good at dodging, or the Bad Lands Gangsters have worse aim than Imperial stormtroopers.
--Is Meryl really "Derringer Meryl" before this episode? Or is she good at reading the room and giving herself a little "sparkle" for BDN?
--Milly is having the best time over these first couple eps, isn't she. "Senpai is 'Derringer Meryl?' That makes me 'Stungun Milly!" This is awesome!"
--Meanwhile, Meryl's trying to fit things in boxes, and it's not working out.
--BDN, the semi-honorable thief. More interested in a good story than in mass murder. Reincarnated as Gasback.
--First actual appearance of Rem, with exposition of her philosophy. Kind of awkward in the middle of a twelve-minute ticking clock, but gotta wedge it in there, I guess?
--On that note, if any version of "Sound Life" makes it into Tristamp, it has to scan better. It's so awkward in English.
