And it's not mocked nor does it make them seem weaker. It's not hidden or off screen. They don't try to hide it or act embarrassed.27 Oct 2026 15:08 +0000at://did:plc:akrhvxsrulxymwdgo77yuohn/app.bsky.feed.post/3myujdhxsyc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/rusapenarts.bsky.social/post/3myt2xrl52k2cWatching Ranking of Kings and literally every episode I'm startling my dog by yelling WHAT THE FUCK https://static.klipy.com/ii/c3a19a0b747a76e98651f2b9a3cca5ff/e3/a9/NnzfPHRq.gif?hh=301&ww=498&mp4=63xZFM49x7m8pS3JaY5i&webm=9OqfexFpx4bYh5xi027 Oct 2026 01:19 +0000at://did:plc:akrhvxsrulxymwdgo77yuohn/app.bsky.feed.post/3myt2xrl52k2chttps://bsky.app/profile/rusapenarts.bsky.social/post/3mys7rvors22kMost boring game of tetris but still makes me happier than my day job26 Oct 2026 17:12 +0000at://did:plc:akrhvxsrulxymwdgo77yuohn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mys7rvors22khttps://bsky.app/profile/rusapenarts.bsky.social/post/3myq4kzgnxc2lSilhouette Studio is the most unintuitive software.

It felt almost preachy at times which was very odd (especially Wolfwood). I feel like it could have been so much better if they had continued with the tone from Stampede. Still, I enjoyed it.07 Oct 2026 00:03 +0000at://did:plc:akrhvxsrulxymwdgo77yuohn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxangg4nxk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/rusapenarts.bsky.social/post/3mx6i4dmdt22bTrigun Stampede is SO GOOD omg. Literally almost perfect. My only complaint is that I wish they had kept more of Wolfwood's goofiness. In the manga and 98 series, he was sometimes as goofy as Vash. But I understand why they cut down on it. Vash isn't quite as goofy in Stampede either06 Oct 2026 03:23 +0000at://did:plc:akrhvxsrulxymwdgo77yuohn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mx6i4dmdt22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/rusapenarts.bsky.social/post/3mwzeb2feds2vI'm finally watching Trigun Stampede and omg it is SO good. I love how they leaned into the western roots but also kinda has horror elements at times. Definitely different from the 98 series but that's not a complaint! It's doing it's own thing and it's doing it so well https://static.klipy.com/ii/2fd1ee858360694ebc7272832a866c2b/ec/5c/l3RByae6q8FTx4sQANtl.gif?hh=280&ww=498&mp4=45Yj7vh2ssduGlpB&webm=Xgn0qilA1WCMTO9v04 Oct 2026 02:30 +0000at://did:plc:akrhvxsrulxymwdgo77yuohn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwzeb2feds2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/rusapenarts.bsky.social/post/3mvvgyotqh22eMannnn, I wanna make salsa but with all the recalls the last few months idk.19 Sep 2026 19:44 +0000at://did:plc:akrhvxsrulxymwdgo77yuohn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvvgyotqh22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/rusapenarts.bsky.social/post/3mvdasq3vr22bGetting some painting in before work!
