you just know vash pierced his own ear

ok but like. he was absolutely by himself when he did it. and it’s something He himself did. alone. he decided to do it and did it, without help, amidst everything. probably in the bathroom of some shitty inn with horrible lighting, really late at night, when he just could not fucking relax. and it was something he wanted to do for awhile but, in that instant, actually doing it was a spur of the moment thing. he had the stuff on hand— not the BEST tools to use but like, fuck it. the pain was fleeting but his hands were steady. it was something that was his. always grounding to look at and remember. it’s something that will be there forever and hurt but it was something HE did. for himself. and that’s relieving. comforting. it’s his. and he can look in the mirror and see it. knowing that. whatever
