it's hard to say which i prefer because even when making aus like where milly is a werewolf, or where wolfwood is alive, i still try to stay close to what feels like the character's "voice", if that makes sense...i do a lot of daydreaming. most of my ideas come from imagining if i saw this folding out in front of me like i was watching a movie, would this feel true to the character's actions?

i think the nice thing about trigun is in a way, it has many canon alternate universes, so it feels nice to explore my own scenarios. as much as i like canon it can be very sad, and sometimes i don't always want sad. dealing with real life can be stressful enough. sometimes i want to explore scenarios where wolfwood is alive, where things could have gone differently. i think nightow encourages as much considering he said in an interview that if you're sad about wolfwood dying, he's alive in your creations of him. he wants you to make what you want to make!

so i guess the answer is: it depends on the day! i follow where my ideas and daydreaming take me.
