[ID: 4-page color digital comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The color palette is of limited teals, their skin tones, yellow, orange, and black. The first page begins with the pair in bed, a view of them from the foot of the bed as Vash peers over a lied down Wolfwood. The panel shifts to an up close expression of Vash’s, soft eyes as he looks at Wolfwood’s peaceful sleeping face. He leans against his arms to observe quietly, until Wolfwood began to mumble and groan in his sleep. The speech bubble reads “Mn, uh… ugh… No…” Wolfwood continues to mumble, “No… don’t…” as Vash reached over to stroke his face in comfort. Wolfwood breaks into a sob and Vash pulled his hand away with a look of concern.
Wolfwood continues to sob and Vash begins to shake him gently as he mutters, “Wolfwood… Wolfwood.” Wolfwood quiets for a moment before he shifts and says, “Huh? Spikey?” Vash leans down with a “mhm.“ Wolfwood sits up, rubs his face with his palm, muttering, "The hell? What time is it?” Vash responds, “It’s still early.” Wolfwood mumbles back, “Ah? Then why… Oh, whatever…” before lying back down. Vash still isn’t lying down, leaning over Wolfwood as he asks. “Are you going back to sleep?” Wolfwood says, “No,” before swinging an arm over Vash’s shoulders, pulling him down. Vash exclaims, “Woah!” before they’re both lying next to one another. With an arm over Vash still and Vash putting a hand against Wolfwood’s cheek, Wolfwood asks, “Why are ya still up?” Vash smiles sheepishly, “Um… Just couldn’t sleep.” There’s a smaller panel to the side of a chibi-style Vash looking at a sleeping Wolfwood, the text in the panel points at Vash, reading “Weird fascination watching him sleep.”
The 3rd page begins from Wolfwood’s point of view now, starting with him sitting up in bed, smoking, one hand over his lap and the other combing Vash’s hair. Vash then starts to groan in his sleep and Wolfwood glances down at him, thinking “Again…”, slipping the cigarette out of his mouth and putting it out as he starts to lean down to the sniffling Vash. vash mumbles, “Rem… sniff… Rem… Rem…” Wolfwood lies down next to Vash and pulls him into a close embrace, a hand at his nape and the other over Vash’s head, holding two of Vash’s fingers as Vash tries to dig aggressively into his own scalp. Vash continues to sob, “Rem… I’m sorry… sniff…” Vash’s grip starts to loosen, letting out an “ugh” before he peers up with tears in his eyes and mumbles “Uh… Wolfwood?” Wolfwood responds, “Go back to sleep. You need to rest,” while using a thumb to wipe the tears away.
Vash leans closer into Wolfwood, closing his eyes again, quietly going back to sleep. Wolfwood holds him, still talking, “Just focus on sleeping. I got ya.” Vash lets out a small sound and Wolfwood says again, “I got ya.” Two panel strips is then used to show a pass in time. The pair still in bed, still close, but Vash is now leaning against Wolfwood’s shoulder with a goofy sleepy smile, drooling against him as he mumbles. “Yum yum… More please…” with sound text reading “chew chew”. Wolfwood has a tired expression, one being all too familiar with this same scenario. Vash then moves away from Wolfwood’s shoulder and now lies on his back, still chewing in his sleep. Wolfwood reaches over and squishes Vash’s cheek with a hand, stopping the chewing. He continues to squish Vash’s cheeks, muttering to himself, “Pft. So dumb…” END ID]
Why are people who have perfume as their hobby always so bizarre… anyway… obsessed with this review tbh
absolutely obsessed w her reviews
These are definitely with some self aware humor and most perfume reviews are at least subtly (source: I know perfume people) but also these are genuinely vivid descriptions of smell. We got some reason don’t have many words dedicated just to describing smells in English, not like how we just have “salty” and “umami” for flavors. We can call something a sweet fragrance but it’s not the same sweet as with food, so we have to draw comparisons to things everyone has smelled - this smells like roses, this smells like garbage, etc - and what do you do when it isn’t that simple?
I feel like I know exactly what kind of odors all of these are trying to capture in words.
personally i think there should have been at least one episode where sokka collects aang and zuko and is like, “looks like we’re running low on supplies. time for a GUYS-ONLY field trip. three days of hunting and fishing and polishing our swords. y’know, manly warrior stuff. (aang, sotto voce: actually sokka i’m a vegetarian as you know–) you girls have fun sitting around braiding your hair and talking about your crushes” and then the entire episode is just zuko and sokka lying around by a river, plucking blades of grass and staring up at the stars confiding in each other their deepest feelings and most secret insecurities while aang braids flower crowns, and whenever the screen cuts back to katara and toph and suki, they’re fighting and screaming and hacking away at river pirates and evil spirits and legions of assassins and hired mercenaries with swords. you know, as girls do.
and when the boys finally drag themselves back to camp (they stayed up way too late discussing what true leadership really means and whether or not power always corrupts) they find suki and toph and katara lounging around with black eyes and fresh bruises and bloodstained weapons and sokka shrieks, “what were you guys DOING while we were gone???” and karata just shugs innocently and says in her sweetest voice, “oh, you know. just girly things”
they are absolutely still wearing the crowns and they don’t have a single fish to show for their efforts
