Beloved readers, if you ever spot missing art in my fics, please let me know 🥺 it's caused by broken links/link rot and I'd like to return illustrations to their rightful place!

Today for example I fixed this iconic piece by @arunneronthird.bsky.social for my fic "light up" 🫶🏼
An embedded illustration featuring Bakugou from My Hero Academia taking a selfie surrounded by his friends. They're all bundled in warm clothes with snowy mountains in the background.

Sending you the biggest hug Sav 🫂💕 I hope life becomes kinder to you ASAP (or I will have Words with whoever’s responsible 😤). In the meantime here‘s little Frida trying to poach my pen!!!

All that to say this is my current chew toy. I‘m liking it so far!!
A picture of my paperback copy of VanderMeer‘s Annihilation. The cover of the 10th anniversary edition is a fucked up looking boar with holo flower elements and it slaps.

YES I think one important Vash Nuance is this beat where he‘s visibly frustrated by how his choices are perceived as easy when it‘s anything but oughhh 😩 Vash is the character of all time…

The outfit to match, the biblical angel skirt is by @mayakern.com (it has pockets!!!)
I‘m wearing a black top with a keyhole cutout, a skirt with an angel print kept in red white and gold and Birkenstocks. The Birks match my hair.

Alright Wolfwood, square up to get devastated by my absolute most favorite sci-fi AU of all time: "by the time the apocalypse began" by everythingeverything ✨ it may be angsty as hell, but hey, Vash is in it and he's a pretty cool creature!

AO3: archiveofourown.org/works/51562591

[ #Vashwood ]
by the time the apocalypse began by everythingeverything (yiqie) Summary: The signal filtered through the receptor speakers so clearly and with so little interference that Wolfwood startled, as though a stranger had manifested in the cockpit with them. But it was still the five of them, frozen in their concentration. He didn’t recognize the voice or this lonely, haunted string of words, meaningless and unhelpful at the edge of the galaxy. No coordinates, no name, no identification. As if, more than anything, they wanted to be remembered, not rescued. It played over and over again like a song: I’m sorry, and I love you. I’m sorry, and I love you. I’m sorry, and I love you. This wasn’t a distress signal. It was an elegy. // Wolfwood has spent the better part of his sorry life working in a refuse and litter ship, cleaning up the vestiges of a bygone galactic disaster. On the last flight of his career, his ship picks up a lonely call into the dark.

And because today is the best day ever I also got @featherfangart.bsky.social‘s new mug in the mail 🥺🌹 isn‘t it darling?
A white mug featuring post-canon Vashwood happily dancing in the desert in various poses. The design ends on Wolfwood holding Vash. They‘re both smiling and so sweet together.

I‘m so over the moon ohhh the physical copies of @hamletmachine.bsky.social‘s Starfighter series are BEAUTIFUL 🥹💖 I soaked in every page, detail and word on my reread!! (Big thanks @stefmasc.bsky.social for her heroic effort at FlameNYC in getting that fifth volume for me 🫶🏼)
All five volumes of the queer sci-fi comic Starfighter placed on a yellow patterned quilt. The cover of the fifth volume shows main characters Cain and Abel kissing intimately.

Dawn Eternal by KBstories Summary: “Sprawled belly-down, Wolfwood is little more than tousled black hair and flashes of bare skin under largely kicked-off covers. The rhythm of his breathing gently shifts the slope of his back; big inhales and whuffling exhales that Vash teasingly calls snoring when he wants Wolfwood to get all huffy about it, and a miracle in the hushed moments after the day has ended and all there is to do is fall asleep together, chest to chest. Heartbeat to heartbeat. That feeling — this sight — the deep-rooted joy it causes — is something Vash got impossibly close to losing. To never experiencing crucial parts of it. It’s the holiest thing he has.” Vash and Wolfwood enjoy a late morning of their tomorrows.

We may have added a huge Wolfwood to the Kharkiv collection btw 🐺✨ he's 432x202 (= 87.000+ pixels) and so very dreamy.... 💗

I’m currently working on the final chapter of this whump-y Creature Vash story, so if ya got any comments to spare, I’d love to hear what you think 👀❤️

[ #Trigun ][ #Vashwood ]
Desperate Things by KBstories Summary: “‘So, what am I s’posed to look out for? Sinners? Signs and wonders? The devil themself, lurkin’ ’round the corner to lure me into a life’a degeneracy?’ The expression of the stranger in white lights up like Wolfwood has presented him with the most wondrous gift. ‘Very glad you asked. Angels, sir! Real life angels! Well, you’re most likely to know them under the colloquial term Plant, but that is so... technical, don’t you think? Unbearably plain. It is divinity made flesh we are talking about, after all!’” In which some people worship Plants as angels of salvation and Nicholas D. Wolfwood comes to regret not making this particular cult his problem sooner rather than never.

Have a snippet from Creature Vash fic, final chapter. Progress has been slow but steady, I promise I’m working on it ✍🏼‼️

[ #trigun ][ #vashwood ]
A snippet that reads: Nothing moves from Vash’s side of their lodgings while Wolfwood retrieves the Punisher and Milly everything else. A quite purposeful distribution from her end; Wolfwood is too tired to raise a stink about it, which... is probably Milly’s whole point. The backseat of the van, as far as Wolfwood can tell from a short glance, is thoroughly ruined. (There must be an upper limit to how many questionable stains Bernardelli is willing to overlook. Whatever it is, their group must’ve blown past it an approximate three to five incidents ago.) Thankfully, they’d haphazardly thrown most of their stuff, provisions included, into their room(s) prior to rushing to Vash’s rescue. A lucky break especially for Wolfwood – he’d left everything else with Angelina II. Vash’s things are missing as well. And sure, Wolfwood would usually say a coat and a gun aren’t worth killing for. Neither is a motorcycle. But if that coat and gun are all a man has to his name, and he’s held onto them for decades, and he then goes through his personal hell at the hands of those who took them away, well, it’s plain karma. Later. Later.

#6 ONE PIECE BY EIICHIRO ODA

One Piece was my first exposure to reading manga and it was completely life-changing. There are so many moments that have shaped me as a person; the Water Seven/Enies Lobby arc continues to be my favorite for these two in particular.
Two panels from One Piece with Franky on the right looking dead serious as he says: "It's never a crime to just exist!!!" and Robin on the left stunned by what he said. Another moment from the same arc, during Robin's origin story flashback. The giant Saul on the right shouts: "No one is ever born into this world completely alone!" and a young Robin on the left starts crying.
