Because I am normal about this series I decided to make an entire blog dedicated to it. Because I'm normal.

Hey Captain Curly! I heard you like space cowboys, so I'm showing you my favourite space cowboy, Vash the Stampede!
In his world, he and the rest of humanity live on a desert planet called Gunsmoke, or No Man's Land in some other versions. This infamous gunslinger is determined to live his life spreading peace and kindness despite the $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head (yes it's that many zeroes), and so he keeps up a cheerful and optimistic personality, using his inhuman reflexes and pinpoint accuracy to avoid killing at all costs! I think you'd appreciate his hopeful outlook on humanity, especially later in the series when the plot kicks in and his backstory is unravelled. Let me know if you'd like to watch an episode (either the silly but heartfelt 90s version or the more immediately serious reboot), or if you just want me to ramble about his backstory!
The first picture is him in the original anime (a more western look that I prefer), the second is him in the reboot with more of a cyberpunk influence.
While he's a silly guy most of the time, but when shit hits the fan he's a total badass.
Hey! Thanks!
Huh, wow! That's an exciting character design.
A desert planet, huh. Sounds kinda miserable, hah. Still, good for him. That's... That kind of hope is hard to maintain, yeah? I wouldn't mind learning more about that backstory, if you want to share it.
He looks very exciting. Thank you again for showing me.
"redemption arcs are toxic, you shouldn't try to fix someone!"
actually it is so important to me that being in community and experiencing human connection can save people. thanks
Calling Wolfwood "Woowoo" to cope with the horrors of his life story ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
I’d be happy to elaborate! Aside from Brandon, deadmen (guys who get necrolyzed) appear to retain their memories for the most part though it’s never stated whether it’s because they were still alive during the process or not. For the most part they look human, sure, but if their mental state starts to deteriorate they can…mutate.
As long as you have a strong mental fortitude you can pass yourself off as human. You also might can some weird abilities like being able to turn your limbs into weapons or something. I can definitely see you pulling off a ‘knives for legs’ look. Oh, here’s a picture of the bros!
Before and after the betrayal! Reminds me of you and Jimmy… Brandon is even missing an eye (because that’s where Harry shot him)!
Y’know Curly, you kind of remind me of a character from one of my favorite video games. His name is Brandon Heat and he also has a best friend named Harry MacDowell. The two had known each other since they were kids, both orphans. When they get older shit goes down and the two decide to join the mafia after they both suffer the loss of their other friends. Harry wants to reach the top of the organization (climb the ladder) while Brandon is just happy that he can still remain by Harry’s side. But the longer Brandon remains in the organization, the more he has to make sacrifices. His hands become bloodier and he slowly numbs his emotions so he isn’t constantly wracked with guilt. He even denies himself from having a potentially happier life with the woman he loves because Brandon still feels responsible cares about Harry. Long story short, Brandon is forced to point his gun at his remaining friend from his life before the mafia. But he can’t bring himself to kill Harry. How could he, after everything they’ve been through? Unfortunately for him, Harry’s time in the mafia made him colder, more paranoid. Harry doesn’t hesitate to pull the trigger. In the end, Harry cares more about his ascension to power instead of the bond he had with Brandon.
Don’t worry though, Brandon comes back! Through a process called ‘necrolyzation’ he returns from the dead as an undead killing machine to take revenge on Harry! Hooray!
Whew! Sorry for yapping for so long, I am very passionate about this game if you couldn’t tell. I didn’t even get into the other aspects of story. But I do want to ask you a question Curly. If you had the option to undergo the process of necrolyzation right now, would you? You’d be stronger, more resilient. The process is even more effective if the person is still alive, you might be able to regenerate your limbs! Would you be willing to give up what little humanity you have left to save your crew? Would you be willing to become a monster to save everyone?
(WARNING!: Possible side effects of necrolyzation include severe memory loss, blood replacement every two months, and the need to dress like an edgy anime character.)
…I was nodding along, thinking I could see the resemblance, until we got to the “undead killing machine” part. I’m not quite there. Hah. That’s an unfortunate story…
No need to apologize. Uh… I don’t think I understand the process enough to make that decision. When you say I’d lose my humanity, would that mean becoming a mindless killing machine? Or would I still control myself and the change would be purely physical? If it’s just physical I certainly wouldn’t mind. Gotta be better than this, yeah? Even with the blood replacement and memory loss… As long as I remember enough to stay myself and protect the crew, I don’t… I’d power through.
Listen. Listen guys. I know I said this was gonna be a Gungrave blog but. Would anybody mind if I post about other stuff? Namely of the mouthwash variety? Obviously I’ll still post about Gungrave but like. Damn. Mouthwashing has me by the throat.
Total softness Total softness I won't leave a single cat unpetted La de da de dai Like a cream puff La de da de duh An ocean of fluff Let's begin the cuddle time 🎶
Grave looks too funny 😭 (Made this in October a while back but saw someone post a Jyuji one lol)
Not a thought behind those eyes <3
Brandon is literally such a cutie 😢
I hope this hurts/I don’t want anything
Jeanne and Anya are kindred spirits I think
Yall forgetting that they have “super forms” in overdose
despite everything...
it's still you
I mean, if you think about all the other names Nightow came up with, it becomes no less ridiculous but just kinda…normal.
Writing fanfic sounds fun and may be a good way to test and develop my creative writing skills, but if I do there will come a time where I have to make the name Rocketbilly Redcadillac sound serious and I am NOT ready for that
anyone else start getting shaky when someone gets into an interest of yours or is that just me
Happy Holidays Gungrave fans!
Have a Bunji!
I drew this one to parallel Juji!

Palestinian girls and women are forced to use tents as pads. People boost. Donate if you can
I just wanted to share this article about Palestine's right to revolt and why it is important that we support it. It also has sources embedded in the text that debunk misinformation about them and Hamas. I implore everyone to read it and spread this information around.
If your seeing this, this is your sign to PLAY GUNGRAVE SET UP A PS2 EMULATOR PLAY THE GAME. It's like yakuza but with guns IT'S PEAK!!!!!
And if you have played it is Overdose worth playing? Genuinely curious
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.

Which oddly specific colour palette are you?
Thank you for the tag, @citrus-moonlight!!! This is... quite literally my wardrobe color on top of the eyeshadows/lipsticks I wear on the daily so this is actually quite spooky skfjsdkf

I know what I've said, Grave. My fear is about whatever is happening inside me. But… I'm not afraid anymore. I'm not a monster. I can control this. Maybe… I can even learn how to use it.
You have to trust me.
I love how messy this looks. Very loose!
I feel art block creeping up my back aaa
