u know what. the fact that half of his hair darkened between these two scenes implies that he's had to use SO much power in those 5 years trying to heal all the plants
Y'ALL u know how they said tristamp designs are purposefully younger and more naive and that vash's jacket being always unzipped is a deliberate choice? my bets are on s2 vash being closer to '98 design w a completely buttoned up jacket — no longer so naive and open to the world
someone pointed this out to me but vash's info is in the same folder as tesla, not with nai? which could imply she was part plant/ had the same powers as v? if this is true then vash could've literally been next. if N realised this then then everything makes makes even more sense
also i noticed nai has a thing with making ppl lose their arms and i think its prob him acting out and doing to humans what he was forced to do to vash
so when it comes to their actual skin i think the markings grow in a pattern, not entirely across the body? u can see how there's none on his forearm and underarm
this one’s on me for not realising sooner but nai’s snuggie is literally made out of metal. he is walking around in ARMOUR. makes me think this is a subconscious defence mechanism bc he’s actually afraid
crazy how she says this to vash right after telling nai the exact opposite thing, like she means well and she's just protecting them but its insane how they both have insecurities instilled in them from this, one made to feel shame for who he is, the other shame for what he lacks
i think "take me there" is the most desperate nai has sounded for his own cause, usually all he does is for vash but this is him just deeply wanting to be taken back to that serene place where its just them and where vash knows nothing but him. he doesnt want to fight
the fact that like, kid vash literally looks walks talks like a human child and ppl on this ship were still like 'he's useless? kill him off?' even if he doesnt produce anything like a plant how can u not see him as equal to a human child? are u insane? "grotesque"? girl what
