Trigun Infected My Brain Like a Prion Disease

Where I blog about trigun, star rail, fields of mistria, and anime/manga that I enjoy. 30 - they/them pronouns

Forever thinking about Preservation Dan Heng. He prefers to avoid combat! He has no interest in stoking conflict! But what were his previous gameplay paths? The Hunt and Destruction. Paths that produce main DPS characters. Until now he has only functioned as a damage dealer. But as a Preservation unit, his job is no longer to do damage - his job is now to sustain. To keep the rest of the team alive. He is finally no longer forced to be the one who does damage.

It's symbolic too. How does he introduce himself? As the Astral Express' guard and archivist. What does a guard do? Protect others. What does an archivist do? Preserve. He's finally reaching a point where he is fully embodying the person he wants to be and not the person others say he has to be.

Maybe itโ€™s just me, but. When Iโ€™m reading something and am just flat-out enjoying it, like filled to the brim with glee at the authorโ€™s wording or characterization or imagination or ingenuity or pacing, I stop reading. I am so full of excitement and love that I have to stop wherever I am and pace around or do somethingย because Words Are So Damn Cool I need to expend some energy or Iโ€™ll explode.

I wonder if Evernight's description is kind of a red herring. She's described as "the shadow of her," and obviously she's March's shadow- but we still don't know March's relationship to Cyrene. I wonder if Evernight is also Cyrene's shadow?
