#cw medical abuse – @buccellato on Tumblr

We can't really go into exactly how and why this is so cruel yet, but I still want to talk about it because it's insane how little perspective Knives has here:

We're shown a page of Vash being medically examined and experimented on in July (at Knives' behest, while he just cooly watches on), entirely against his control, where hes treated as an object and not a person

And after what would be a frankly horrifying and humiliating ordeal to go through, after having his body changed against his will to check his aptitude as a tool of violence and force it to activate for Knives' will, Knives has the gall to just...say this:

Yet he's doing the exact same thing! He's torturing his brother in cruel and humiliating ways while looking him in the eyes!!

#trigun #trigunbookclub #trigun spoilers #trigun maximum #cw medical abuse #what would he say if Vash actually got some of those scars from Thomas or Worms or just general accidents #like not every scar would necessarily be intentional but Knives never even genuinely asks where each one came from #but unfortunately Vash can't even throw his words back in his face because Knives is such an abuser he probably won't even acknowledge it #once again going through a “And what were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament?” moment #Knives probably watched Tangled and thought “y'know this Mother Gothel lady has a point”
