those tough and tender days I loved…

like it is The craziest & coolest culmination of all of vash’s conflicts in a single moment . i love that its an irrevocable and entirely conscious action on his behalf , that it brings into question his ideology and what it means to him, that it shatters the vow he made to rem, that he can finally empathize with wolfwood (and by extension, the collective of nomansland) rather than just sympathize. hes plucked from his comfort as an “omnipotent” outsider (as wolfwood once implied) and placed right into the middle of a dilemma hes witnessed so many times but has seldom felt the pressure of , from within. YKWIMMM like part of wolfwoods frustration with vash stemmed from the fact that vash always had this positionality that allows him to make the “right” choices and to dream of idyllic realities rather than acknowledge the persistent hardships ppl had dealt with. and im not saying hes not entirely aware of these (ofc he is, it’s part of why he’s so compelling and steadfast abt his venture for peace) but hes soo obstinate 😭😭 like regardless of his intentions, he judges others by metrics he cant understand, and this One moment brings it all crashing down around him . forces him to truly evaluate himself, his belief systems , and the things that are important to him instead of packing it away for some distant future we all know he’d try his hardest to ignore-__- legato flicking him in the head like WAKE UPPP!!! face ur reality .. my fav post ab trigun like . EVERR is the one that talks about how indispensable legato is to the plot. bc without him, i dont think vash couldve ever been challenged the way he was . so everyone say thank you legato ,

the real question is why are plantcest enjoyers eating so good with stargaze. we cant get all that sexy leather but we can have yaoibait for incest fans ? why

i remember when stampede was airing and people were saying that people were just mad because it wasn’t like the 98 anime, which was doing its own thing too, and that stampede was just pulling more from trimax so it’s fascinating to me that they clearly took so much insp from how 98 did the last showdown with legato but in a complete opposite like directorial direction?
