thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated

the difference in their reactions to each other 😭

Gohan being the first one to step between Vegeta and Certain Death, twice, without an ounce of hesitation, and Vegeta saving him back despite his feelings about battle intervention.

Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them

Vegeta and Gohan both born prodigies assigned an unfair amount of responsibility to be Great and be a Saiyan Messiah(tm) way too young by a stubborn and proud if not (relatively) well-meaning father who didn't see any other option and I just think Gohan doesn't get enough credit as like. The first serious muscle behind Geets' personal growth.

midnight thoughts

an old gohan comic i did in 2024 :>

"Gohan-kun and Piccolo-san 6" by Hikaru Hoshi. What in the world is happening in Piccolo's subconscious?

Bulma, Krillin, and Videl all being completely aware that their love interests weren't entirely human and knowingly choosing to be monsterfuckers anyway, versus Chi-Chi who thought her husband was a completely normal guy who just happened to have a tail

The reason Vegeta can’t wear his GT outfit in the DBS manga timeline is because Whis wouldn’t be strong enough to pry Bulma off of him

There is no absolute way he is that big! ⚡🦇 Absolute Batman & Flash

While Bruce is a tankiest of the League, Wally is the smallest of the all.

Goku’s already conventionally attractive in earth terms, but imagine how fucking funny it’d be if, like. by sayian standards, Goku’s SUPERMODEL pretty. So, to Vegeta, it’s like fighting Sofia Vergara everyday.

All Tomorrows/Killer Folk AU: Random lore and Ideas I have currently thought of: TW/CW - Mentions of suicide, death, and cannibalism. Read at own discretion

The vast majority of Areian cultures don't have writing systems. Areians are naturally farsighted (difficulty seeing things up close) so written writing systems are only useful at a distance. To combat this, many cultures have developed variations of tactile writing systems. Variants of embroidery journals, quipu knots, and wampum beads are common tactile writing methods. Corvids also act as the memory part of the Areian mind. They have better memory, so story-telling, songs, and corvid memory are other methods of writing and record keeping.

The Accurst are actually a diaspora. While most of their culture and cultural identity has been lost, they have been able to survive by intertwining with other Areian groups and hiding their identities as mush as possible. This had the backlash affect of erasing their cultural identity even more. To the point that only a few cultural marks exist, but very few Accurst know what they mean.

Areians beliefs are a mish-mash of pagan, shinto, animism, and jewish/islamic eating beliefs. Areians don't believe in good and evil, they believe in the concept of Health and Sickness. Health = Good and Sickness = Bad. Health is meant to be both physical and mental health as strength. Being able to die in battle, having given their full strength is considered a glorious death. Death by old age isn't frowned upon, but being old and not being right of mind is. Sickness is weakness and being weak of mind means you are risk. Most homes have either a separate Sick House/Sick Room to hide away those who are Sick. Blood is fine, but pus vomit, and other sickness related symptoms are considered bad.

This is where the Conventry comes into play. One of their advertised roles is that they are willing to interact with and help the sick. While Areians do have methods to deal with sickness (tonic, pills, food, etc...) most will just leave the sick alone. The assumption being that if a person succumbs to sickness, they were weak and a hindrance. The Conventry, with their access to ancient knowledge, is able to help these lepers and offer them the aid they were denied. Many clans find the conventry invaluable as a result. Hence, why they can influence the advancement of Areian societies. The fear of the very world becoming Sick is strong. So Areians work diligently to care for and cultivate the natural world around them. Anything that may help them, but would risk making the world sick is forbidden.

Sickness (physical and mental) varies across cultures. Most physical disabilities are still considered something to overcome and so are considered Sickness adjacent. Because the person is willing to overcome their ailments, they are still considered healthy. The same goes for mental illness.

This actually leads into another unique cultural aspect. Suicide is considered socially acceptable. Suicide is considered when a person starts to experience Sickness and doesn't want to die from it. Instead they will take tonics or pills to quickly end their lives. It is considered the honorable option because they are still of sound mind (health) and are capable of making such decisions.

Accurst are assumed to automatically be Sick because of their physical "deformaties". Which is why they are either hunted or indoctrinated by others in an attempt to cleanse sickness.

Ritual cannibalism is also a common funerary right. Throwing a large feast and eating the recently deceased is commonplace across cultures. The belief is that one can gain the the deceased strengths or skills and that their life wasn't a waste.

Soy un mantelope en la vida.

A herd of Mantelopes are grazing along a grassy hillside.

Existential Mantelope 1: I’m telling you, worshiping The Qu really turned my life around!

Existential Mantelope 2: Have you lost your mind? If a fly shows back up here, I’ll show it everything I learned in the Hooved Resistance’s militia drills! Hyah!

Nihilistic Mantelope: Won’t you guys give it a rest? Nothing even matters any-*gets used as a ramp by Absurdist Mantelope riding a log down the hill*

the suffering never ends

You WILL get headpats from Goku and you WILL like it!

Alt Goliro just because ↓

These aren't boobs! These are chest muscles😳

Saiyan fatherhood is very unique

The gochi equivalent to the vegebul bath thing from the latest daima episode is Goku running around the backyard naked while Chichi tries to get him with the hose

forever absolutely unmitigatedly obsessed with dbz romance because we get massive strong alien himbo x ox king's angry chinese daughter, extremely short bald guy who is scared of everything x hot tall blonde robot girl who could kill him in an instant, the alien himbo's nerd infp son x martial arts master girlfriend, selfish & prideful alien prince who answers to nobody x rich mortal bossy wife who orders him around

what more could i ask for

xD hay alguien hay que entendió lo que traté de hacer aquí?

Este es un comic que tenía hecho hace mucho tiempo pero recientemente lo pasé a digital, tengo pensado hacer más con esta idea, así que si alguien tiene alguna escena que quiere que cambie de Vegeta y Bulma me dice cual (sin miedo).

(Si hay alguna personita ahí que habla tanto ingles como español no me enojo si lo quieren traducir 😅 bueno si es que le gusto mi versión de esta escena de dragon ball z)

Vegeta disfrutando el baño con su esposa.

No podía dormir sin dibujar algo de estos dos después de ese dialogo que nos regalaron hoy en dragón ball Daiman.

No puedo superar a esta pareja 😆

Hermoso.

Amó ésto, necesito un AU completo de 70 páginas hiper detallado con curiosidades de los personajes, angustia y comedia.

You know what would be an interesting sci-fi movie? An alien race trying to do a peaceful first contact movie scenario with a non-space-traveling Earth, only to discover that this planet just survived an alien invasion scenario. Double the fun if the first group looks at the Earth after regrouping and immediately knows from the signs which other group of aliens did this, and it's very much a 'dang it, not them again' situation.

The entire rest of the movie is these new aliens trying to coax humans into being friends while we hiss at them from our defenses like an abused stray cat hiding behind a dumpster.

Thinking...💭

The reason powerscaling your faves against Goku is a fool's errand isn't because Goku is really strong, it's because most shonen protagonists have explicit limitations on their powers and hard and fast rules to what they can and cannot do, while Goku is a mythic folk hero whose feats are akin to divine miracles.

gotenks is still there in spirit i suppose
