OK so I've got a lot rattling around in my brain right now about Wolfwood.

So we learned last episode that the serum advances aging and we've all had our fun with old man, silver-haired WW. However ☝️ his hair immediately starts to turn during his fight with Livio right after he does the vampire-suck-blood bit. It's pretty rapid and the lighting is a but weird to mask it, but it's more noticeable on a re-watch.

And then at the end—stop getting distracted by the vashwood—we have some sort of ongoing blood transfusion happening. And now we have the full-on shocking white hair.

His hair is the same color as Livio's now 🥹 IDK man, so he kinda looks like he's related to Livio now. Several times when WW describes Livio, he's pretty quick to say he's not his real brother. And in the next episode, he actually says that Livio is his brother.

So, does he need the vials anymore? He seems to think he needs them the way he accepts them. (Also, in episode 14, Leonof is using the pink injectable kind and Bluesummers uses the same kind in episode 18. Is there a difference??)

And I just have to keep going about his little epiphany about Vash being his friend.

Episodes 15 and 16: he's too sarcastic to be sincere about finding Vash

Episode 17, Wolfwood tells Midvalley that he's uncomfortable being called Vash's friend.

Episode 18, Milly and Meryl told him they were friends. Also, when he says he "doesn't know" why he came to the Ark, I'm pretty sure we can now say that statement can be taken at face value.

Episode 20, Miss Melanie pretty much has to tell him that he's messed up by being alone. I'm pretty sure it's only at this moment that WW finally thinks of Vash as a friend. (And I think, later Livio as his brother at the end, but there wasn't so much of a spotlight on that revelation).

Also, I know there is more going on than Vashwood, but Vash is also acting much differently.

Ep. 16

WW: You realized you caused July, right?

VS: [stoic]

Ep. 18

WW: If you aren't around then Knives can't be brought back!

VS: [stoic]

Ep. 20

WW: The whole of civilization is at October and if you cause another July there...

VS: [panic]

Knives' skin/pajamas or whatever have the plant pattern all over them.

Listen, this is a hot take.

I am off to AO3 to dig up all the Meryl x Zazie fics I can now. I need Milly eavesdropping on Zazie. I can't wait for the Milly-is-a-worm fics. I want crisis MillyMeryl finding out Milly's a worm. I want MillyMeryl with a "oh yeah and that's Milly's other SO..." (Milly's "oh that's just Zazie" in the English dub was cute). I need some uneasy, straight horror stuff. Let's goooo
