Under The Bed Notebook

having lunch and someone's watching cnc videoes loud as fuck style so i'm just here chewing my food while there's sounds of water jetting and steel screeching in the back

We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think

You said it better than I could. Of all the inane and ridiculous things I've seen in my notes because of this post, "I NEED to say fuck you to strangers or I will literally die" is certainly one of them

remember guys, being kind takes basically no effort when its done with real purpose. no one deserves to be treated badly, that includes YOU. so treat others the way you'd like to be treated. if you dont want to and wanna take your anger out on people/be needlessly mean, whatever i guess, its your life youre fucking up. but dont be complaining when no one likes you or wants to talk to you. please everyone go vent out your frustrations healthily :)

when you see something that needs to be done and you think “someone should take care of that” just remember that you’re someone

anybody else think about how in every version of trigun, wolfwood's death happens because he separated from vash. because he thought "that's not vash's burden i have to handle this on my own." if he had let vash come with him to protect the orphanage he wouldn't have gotten his ass beaten so thoroughly before vash had the chance to get there in trimax. how in every version they are depicted literally with their backs to one another, protecting each others' backs instinctually even on first meeting, and that's how he dies in the original anime - by turning his back on Chapel, without Vash there to cover for him. that in stampede julai is able to happen to vash because they separate. that they are soulmates in the SADDEST possible way, that one moment not protecting each other's backs and not being at each others' sides will always mean death or catastrophe. they CANNOT be separated. they are two halves of one whole that ripped from one another inevitably wilt like cut flowers. do you ever think about that.

oh my god. in this version, vash and wolfwood’s family insist that he cannot be alone, and he lives this time. the narrative was changed. oh my god

one thing I did like about stargaze that they got from the manga was emphasizing that the plants and human relationship is symbiotic rather than parasitic - which means vash and wolfwood literally represent the central conflict of the series. they are not meant to be in conflict, they can only survive with each other. they change each other for better and for worse, and the only version where everyone lives is the one with them together. vash went over a 100 years being pursued by his brother, avoiding his guilt and burning himself out. meeting wolfwood was the catalyst for resolving it, in the end.

Yelling “we got company” right before being attacked by a horde of enemies probably feels good as fuck for an action protagonist
