It’s like that secret group chat that all republican pundits participate in to facilitate propaganda. They’re conspiring. All of them.

Wait what is this new lore

Mortimer @webvein.bsky.social · Aug 19

I have so much pent up rage over this thing you have no idea.

Mortimer @webvein.bsky.social · Aug 19

they also literally do the 'I forgor my bullets bc I spent the money on food
:(' line unironically again, adapt none of vashs internal conflict, don't adapt vash and wolfwoods conflict (THE MAIN THEME OF THE ENTIRE MANGA) at all. And Make the july incident a macguffin fight over a fucking cube.

Mortimer @webvein.bsky.social · Aug 19

Also it reprised a lot of the faults of the og anime. Vash is even more of a passive stupid blob of a character, he's just less annoying. Manga vash spent his entire life hunting down knives, stampede vash is fully aware he's off killing people but just fucking sits there sadly i guess.

It cut out the heart of Trigun and replaced it with cliches.

I’ve genuinely never despised a piece of fiction more in my life. Which is extremely ironic bc the ONLY reason I ever read the manga was because I saw the trailers for stampede and was intrigued bc I thought Vash looked cute.

Mortimer @webvein.bsky.social · Aug 19

Stampede is if someone put the entire story of Trigun into a blender and then regurgitated a TikTok highlight reel of the most emotionally impactful interesting moments devoid of the things that made them emotionally impactful and interesting.

Mortimer @webvein.bsky.social · Aug 19

Og anime was working with, I kid you not, about a third of the story. Within those limitations, aside from making Vash a lobotomized sex pest, I think it did a surprisingly good job and improved on things in some areas, actually. Wolfwood was done very well, and so were the insurance girls.

I was forced to watch part of it bc it was turned on in my vicinity and never in my life has the word 'fake' felt more bizzarely applicable to a fictional project.

Like always if you've got any lose change I'm a dog barking for a bone atm so I appreciate it, managed to loan £200 but it's already been wiped by clearing this month's bills & insurance payouts

Infinite matter creation or transfiguration magic does tend to do that to a setting with inexplicable scarcity.

Day4, blind. For some reason blindness made me think of bulging eyes from hydrocephalus, and that made me want to do a take on d Rex that looked like it was actually suffering.
