I've been meaning to post this, even though I wrote it sometime ago. Practically all of my friends know that I like Wolfwood, so I decided to write about why I like Wolfwood. I posted this first in my Online Journal, but now it's here for all to see!...or at least read. ^^;

Is it really that strange to be in love with a fictional character? I just don't know, I've never known myself to be normal. Anyhoo..
I'm really obsessed with Wolfwood right now, and it's just been making me wonder about how I got obsessed with Wolfwood. I didn't get interested in him from the moment I saw him. Though I did like his character. He was sweet, kind of good-looking, funny, could kick-ass AND he was a priest. A Christian. I am a Christian. ^.^ So it's not like I didn't like him. But it's not like he was immediately my favorite. He was just another cool character for a rather cool show.
Then one night Gator and I went over to a friend's house to watch some Trigun on DVD. Our friend told us how someone told her she would really like Wolfwood, but she said she that even after seeing him, Vash was still her fave. Same with Gator. So there I was, sitting between the two, not yet having an official favorite character established and thinking, "Poor Wolfwood."
That wasn't all of it though. That night we watched the episode with The Fifth Moon. Where plain, out-right, Wolfwood killed another character. Here's this noble priest who loves children..and he kills someone. Our friend said that we might not like Wolfwood after that episode. But that eppie only managed to peak my curiosity about him. What was it that made him decide to kill? How different were his ideas? Could he really be that bad? There was certainly more than met the eye. And me, being the curious creature I am, wanted to know more.
Of course at times my curiousity turns into obsession. This happened to be one of those times. So..that's basically it..and through all the things that Wolfwood did that many would consider "wrong," I still liked him. Through all the things he did "right," I liked him even more. And once I did finally find out about his past, philosphies, and.....well, I liked him all the more. For being such a well-developed character, not just because he was "cute" or such.
Now that I've seen the whole Trigun series, and have even gone on to watching other series, I'm still stuck on Wolfwood. His character, his looks, his...everything! I bought a wall scroll of him off of E-Bay and I could just stare at it for hours. I kept a cardboard cross that a Wolfwood cosplayer made at a convention. AND I got lucky enough to have a 'net friend buy me a cardboard confessional and send it to me ALL the way from California. It was about $35 dollars, but it was WORTH it! XD My obsession has overtaken me! MUAHAHAHA!! I just wish that I could get a Wolfwood plushie. Sleeping with the action figure is a tad riskay. x__X
Totally Incurable,
