Reblog If You Have The Best Mutuals.

Someone asks what picture is in your locket and you open it to reveal this.

Average Bunji fan behaviour 🙃

(I stole the original drawing from Gungrave Archives, namely this page:

)

Also an extra pic from when I was volunteering at a conference:

(look at my tech support dawg we're going to accidentally make the whole audio system combust)

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

Real ✊🏽😔

Yasuhiro Nightow will make a character called "Shoehorn the Cowboot" and his special moveset will be destroying the familial bonds between your family and friends and throwing grenade shaped boots at you.

I eat that shit up every time

My sister saw the cigarette scene and fucking Vulcan and Blood War’s reunion with the gun barrels and was like: Remember that movie subtext I told you about?

And I did.

happy yaoi day

What I love about both Trigun and Gungrave, is that it shows the vulnerability of men in such an unfiltered way. Nightow gives us men that are powerful and scary and feared among people, even their own peers, but always lets them have a certain softness at their core and allows them to be humans that cry like infants when they lose a loved one and feel intense emotions. I love it so much because it tackles the bullshit idea that men have to cast aside their emotions to be strong. You can tell, no matter how badass these characters are and no matter the stupid decisions they make, that all they want is to be loved dearly.

Also the key for these characters to improve their mental state is NEVER to put up even higher walls, but to let people in and help them. They get better by allowing other people to love them, even when they feel so so undeserving of it because of past sins and mistakes they made. It's fucking amazing.

So I have a Gungrave artbook right?

And I was looking at Grave’s page for Overdose when I see this:

And like??

WHY was this not put into the game??? And more importantly, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS????

Hey Captain Curly! I heard you like space cowboys, so I'm showing you my favourite space cowboy, Vash the Stampede!

In his world, he and the rest of humanity live on a desert planet called Gunsmoke, or No Man's Land in some other versions. This infamous gunslinger is determined to live his life spreading peace and kindness despite the $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head (yes it's that many zeroes), and so he keeps up a cheerful and optimistic personality, using his inhuman reflexes and pinpoint accuracy to avoid killing at all costs! I think you'd appreciate his hopeful outlook on humanity, especially later in the series when the plot kicks in and his backstory is unravelled. Let me know if you'd like to watch an episode (either the silly but heartfelt 90s version or the more immediately serious reboot), or if you just want me to ramble about his backstory!

The first picture is him in the original anime (a more western look that I prefer), the second is him in the reboot with more of a cyberpunk influence.

While he's a silly guy most of the time, but when shit hits the fan he's a total badass.

Hey! Thanks!

Huh, wow! That's an exciting character design.

A desert planet, huh. Sounds kinda miserable, hah. Still, good for him. That's... That kind of hope is hard to maintain, yeah? I wouldn't mind learning more about that backstory, if you want to share it.

He looks very exciting. Thank you again for showing me.
