Nightow is the the one who loves and hates Vashwood the most, here is why:
On the booklet of Trigun's soundtrack, Nightow made an official TRIGUN highschool baseball club AU and proceeded to JUST DEATHFLAG Wolfwood again by giving him an incurable disease.
However, there are more to these pictures, you see, here, Wolfwood plays as the catcher, while Vash is the pitcher, and fun fact times, in baseball, the pitcher is sometimes compared to a husband and the catcher to a wife. The catcher brings out the best in the pitcher, and the pitcher trusts the catcher's lead in pitching, a close relationship that can't be found among player at other positions. In particular, a catcher who has strong mutual trust with the pitcher is sometimes called a "nyoubouyaku" - which can be translated to partner, right-hand man, but is usally used to describe A LOVE WIFE.
NYOUBOYAKU is literally the word Nightow used to refer to WW in this text, they are canon, Vashwood is canon, in the worst way possible tho, but I rest my case.
i think if greg died tom would be utterly inconsolable like he would fall into a deep depression and start going crazy seeing greg’s ghost at night and it would all culminate into him digging up greg’s body and taking his own life over his corpse. and i think if tom died greg would be like “damn that’s crazy he was so young- or so middle aged actually. insane how that can happen.” and then he would immediately forget about it
out of touch angel of thursday
speaking of tom's fear of greg i'm forever thinking about this deleted scene
and an emotional direction, from directly after the nero and sporus scene a couple episodes prior:
like it's... it's just straight up textual that tom is frightened by greg's attempts to make him happy. he's terrified of how greg makes him feel. i'm feeling faint

“I had forgotten what a beautiful young creature he was. He did the only thing that a poet should do: he shocked hell out of everyone by a series of semi-criminal acts, and then he got out, for good and all. Never wrote another line. Hated everything he had ever done.”
— Louise Bogan, on Arthur Rimbaud, from a letter c. September 1938
Molly Brodak.

Kristin Hayter (Lingua Ignota) on her song “I Who Bend the Tall Grasses”, from the 2021 record SINNER GET READY:
“This song is inspired by a poem by my friend Blake Butler's late wife, who passed away around the time I was writing this record. She's a poet named Molly Brodak, and the poem is called ‘Jesus’. I found it so striking and moving, and so the language of this track is very much indebted to that poem. It’s probably the most violent song on the record, and it also transitions out of the screaming stuff I’ve been doing for the last two years now. It’s like the last gasp of that for this record, and I believe we did it in one take.”
