Yet another take on Knives being reborn and Legato taking care of him... (i don't care how non-canon they appear in my art, making them soft for each other is my mission) โ๏ธ

Knives whenever he feels like he cannot rely on a support net to do the 'right' thing: "Time to take definitive action!"
This is definitely how he tends to operate.! Sometimes one just needs to feel absolutely assured of their safety and/or standing with someone or else they make irrational choices.

Hello! The encouraging words are here to tell you you're a great artist and I'm sure your picture is not as bad as you think and even if it is I'm sure you can fix it! But also if you just dislike it too much it's okay to move on to something else that will almost certainly be great! (but if you feel up to it, I do really want to see it)
Hullo!!!! It took taking a break for a few days from drawing completely but I am BACK and not only that, I FIXED HIS FACE! ๐ฅน๐
Thank you so much for your encouraging words โ๏ธ๐
I’m glad you are back! Thank you for showing me! The face looks so good! I love it!

Was the parallel between au Knives' reacting to Tesla's fate and reality of their 'purpose' being to withdraw into himself and then crash the ships and his current attempt at (self)destructing against Reilly intentional? As if unable to rely on anyone or trust anyone he immediately acts on what he feels has no choice but to do. Except that here instead of him no longer being able to fully trust Rem, it is him alienating Legato and ending up 'all alone' in his own eyes again. We are talking Vash. Everything Knives and Vash is just so complicated I do not want to talk about it right now.
Good morning, my favorite anon. I hope you are doing well today.
I’m afraid the parallel was unintentional. I wish I had thought to do that on purpose. Sometimes I am not as clever as I would like to be!
There is definitely a lot to unpack with Knives and Vash. I can see why you might not want to get into it.
Legato Bluesummers from Trigun has been caught in the Trolley Problem!
Barreling down the tracks is a runaway trolley. The trolley is heading directly for five random people who are tied to the track. On an adjacent track is Legato Bluesummers. As a bystander you have the following options
- Flicking the lever, diverting the trolley onto the second track killing Legato Bluesummers
- Doing nothing, causing the trolley to kill the five random people

The difference in translation was pointed out over here but I just want to make a point of in this panel specifically how much the translators interpretation adds to the overall understanding.
Before this panel is Vash saying that it should be enough if humanity changes their ways, they don't need to go further. This panel is Knives response. After this panel is Knives saying humans suck everything dry and [the plants] don't have to be civil protecting themselves. Or has he forgotten Tesla? (The translations differ quite a lot so I tried to summarize it)
The translators have interpreted this panel in one of two ways: 1. He is talking about humans as being livestock therefore he won't listen to them (Overhaul) 2. He is saying Vash is a domesticated pet (to humans), therefore he won't listen to him. (Official)
But the japanese is this:
่ชฐใใจใใใใใฎใ
ไบฅ็ใฎ่จ่ใชใ
I don't interpret those words as either of those, I interpret it as "they're not going to listen to us". The farmer won't listen when the cow tells him they don't want to give away their milk, the butcher won't listen when the pig says it doesn't want to die for its meat. It would be enough for humanity to change but they won't so they have to do more than ask nicely. And Tesla is definitive proof that plants are no exception.
...Hell I think that makes a lot more sense because it's an actual response to what Vash said, not just a dismissal, as well as ties in with the things he says next.
But because most people worldwide will read the translation, or even a translation of the translation, they will never even think about this as anything other than Knives looking down on others.
