Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said "When the teacher forgets to assign homework" before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling.
I don't understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend
I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his head
maybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??
i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of
That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that's blorbo from my memes 👍
adhd tip you can replace a “meal” with up to 3 hours of “the app” but watch out
okay done 👍 why am i hurts
Because of this post whenever I notice I’m mindlessly scrollling through social media instead of important things like eating I think the words “The App” repeatedly untill I close it

Jesus was killed on a 3D cross. I get what you're saying but the Romans very much crucified Jesus in the third dimension.

i used to do this as a kid because i was evil
And then when the other kid runs you become artillery

Fun fact anon. The amount I wrote to reply to this was too long so Imma have to reply to this post with my Mega Essay
*Grabs gun from your hands and points it at you* BECAUSE ITS GOOD
okay okay but joking aside, here's a bullet point list of why I think the show is worth watching.
(Also as a note, im only talking about Trigun Stampede 2023 here. The 90's anime and the manga (Trimax) are both worth the try, but all three media are so wildly different that they're basically their own stories and I Don't have the time for a twenty page essay ahsdfjlhjlk)
(Had to split this into two parts)
This show has some of the best storytelling I've seen in a long time. Excellent pacing, with a clear flow that goes from beginning to end. Unlike the original anime's slow burn, Stampede shoots you right out of the barrel and never really stops. And yet, I still never felt like the show was rushed or lacking. The build up to the finale was SO satisfying and I don't want to talk too much about the storytelling bc spoilers but. TRUST me its SO GOOD.
2. Interesting Characters
If it isn't obvious by my obsessive posting. I REALLY like the characters from this show.
But like, outside the perspective of my adhd fixation brain going "blorbo!!" everytime I see Vash, I genuinely think from an objective literary perspective that this show has some of the best written and developed characters I've ever seen. For one, all characters have purpose in the narrative. Wolfwood is a perfect foil to Vash. Vash is a perfect foil to Knives. Roberto and Meryl and needed for each other. Meryl and Vash are needed for each other. The presence of each character is well thought out and purposeful. And individually? These characters are given SO much depth and complexity, (even the minor ones!) I also feel like Vash is a perfect example of that "kind characters can be interesting" post that I wish so desperately I could see in more media.
3. Incredible Themes
Trigun deals with a lot of interesting themes and concepts. It takes a lot of care to present moral concepts/ideas and challenge them.
Pacifism, and the inherent good/evil nature of humankind, are two specific ones that are handled SO well. I’ve never seen a show do it like Trigun has. Stuff like, “Do we ever have the right to take the life of another?” “when put in a situation where not killing will end in more death, is pacifism now a moral evil?” “humans are always capable of evil, does that make them worth saving?” and “Do people who do evil deserve kindness?” are all questions that are presented, then challenged again and again by the narrative. As I said before, I don’t wanna say too much because of spoilers.
(Also! A lil fun fact is that the original Trigun manga was written by a christian convert! Hence why theres so much christian imagery in Trimax that carries over into Trigun Stampede. Although the show is NOT inherently christian, it still deals with a lot of christian themes. Likely, this story was a way for the original manga author to try and grasp with christian concepts like sin and the sanctity of human life.)
4. Depictions of Female Characters
Never. Ever. Have I seen an anime that was as respectful to their female characters as Trigun. Beyond lacking even an iota of sexual content or fanservice that is usually so over-saturated in anime, Trigun has some of the best written female characters I’ve ever seen. They are not reduced to stereotypes or one dimensional roles. Rem, who could have easily been treated as the “saintly” mom trope, is given complex motivations and faults. Rosa is a pregnant mom fighting to protect her town, who is given the freedom to make choices that, while often not good, are done with a clear and sympathizable motivation.
And MERYL. While Vash is the poster child of this show, Meryl is arguably the main character. She’s the one whose eyes we’re seeing the story through. While Vash and Wolfwood tend to be more passive, she’s the one who’s mainly pushing the narrative forward. Her character arc is something so SO special to me. Ane while Milly isn’t yet in Trigun Stampede, her character is another one that I could write whole essays about.
5. Animation
Trigun Stampede did something that no other show has ever done.
It made CGI look GOOD.
Trigun Stampede’s animation is groundbreaking. Before it, I don’t think I could have named for you a cgi show that wasn’t completely lifeless and ugly. The quality of the animation, the camera angles, the exaggeration of characters movements, and the seamless integration of 2d animation goes to show that the creators weren’t trying to use CGI just because they thought it would save them a few extra bucks. They’re not trying to perfectly encapsulate 2d animation, nor are they relying on cgi so heavily that everything looks stiff. Instead, the animators give us a taste of how this medium could look if treated with passion and care.
So anyways *cocks gun* hope you enjoy watching trigun! :D
