This is probably the most accurate meme about VegeBul that I've seen.

It's just that Vegeta didn't convince her to break up with Yamcha. She broke up with Yamcha often for minor reasons (like when she was jealous other girls liked him), then she slept with an evil guy & regretted it.

Bulma literally got pregnant by someone worse. And most times, Vegeta at his best is Yamcha at his worst.

Alright, characters and emojis.

As you know, the Japanese fandom really likes to use symbols to talk about characters, it's a way to code the language without showing up in search functions. These are usually used for shipping, but not always.

Some characters are more obvious than others, but for those who may seem a little far reached, I will write a small explanation.

Some are established fanon-accepted, but they're not really strongly claimed, so some artists will use the same emoji for different characters. (And as always if you like what I’m trying to do, consider buying me a drink or a doujin with ko-fi) (twitter version btw)

So here's my list for Dragon Ball (🐉) :p

Saiyans and half-saiyans:

Goku: 🥕 (Kakarot -> carrot) or 5️⃣9️⃣

Vegeta: 🥗

Broly: 🥦

Raditz: 🦔 (the hedgehog hair lol)

Turles: 🥬(Tullece -> lettuce) or 🍎 (because of the fruit obviously)

King Vegeta: 👑 or 🔱 (they aren’t super common)

Bardock and his squad: no established emoji that I've noticed, but 🍅 should be for Toma (Tora in English). 🌿 should be for Fasha (Selipa in Japanese, which are the syllables for parsley (pa-se-ri). I’ve seen someone use 🦀 or 🩸 (the headband) for Bardock.

Gine: 🧅 I’ve seen this one once!

Cumber: 🥒

Caulifla: I haven’t seen an established one that, but 🔥 works for her hair.

Kale: 🥬

Cabba: 🥬 yes Cabba (cabbage) and Kale (.. kale lol) share the same emoji. Context!

Gohan: 🍚 ("fried rice" as lunch; the term rice is used as a way to talk about the entire meal, even if it does not contain rice); for Future Gohan, you'll find it with the kanji 未 mi, from mirai (future). 5️⃣8️⃣ sometimes too. Add in 🐺 for the beast version!

Goten: 🍤(TENpura) sometimes 5️⃣🔟. Tenpura (tempura) is a type of fried food, and it's used for Goten because (go)ten(pura) (he's nicknamed "ten" by Trunks).

Trunks: 🐯(tora(nkusu); Tora means tiger); for Future Trunks, you'll find it with the kanji 未 mi, from mirai (future).

Bra: 👙 usually. Sometimes 👸

Pan: 🍞 (bread, obviously)

Earthlings:

Chichi: 🥛🍼(her name means milk; both are used)

Ox King: 🐂 (only seen it once, but that’s because I don’t see many drawings of him lol)

Bulma: 🩲(bloomers) but she sometimes gets 💙

Yamcha: 🐺 (wolf techniques)

Krillin: 🌰 (kuririn -> chestnut). Marron sometimes gets the same emoji

Videl: 😈 (Videl -> Devil)

Mr Satan: 🥇or 🏆. He’s the world champion!

Tenshinhan: 👁️

Chaozu: 👲(not super common but I did see it twice)

Launch: 🔫 but I’ve also seen 🎭

Roshi: 🐢

Farmer with a power level of 5: 🌽

Uub: I did see 🌴 used ONE TIME..

Maron: 🩱 I’ve seen it once.

Androids/Artificial humans:

Android 16: 1️⃣6️⃣ or 🤖

Android 17: 1️⃣7️⃣ or 🤖

Android 18: 1️⃣8️⃣ or 🤖

Cell: 🦗 grasshopper or cicada due to his first form. 🆑 and 🧬 have also been used.

Android 21: 🧁

Gammas: 1️⃣ / 2️⃣ or 🍓 (ichigo which is also number 1) and occasionally Γ or γ sometimes (not emojis but still lol)

Aliens:

Piccolo: 🅿️ or 🍏 (he gives apples to Gohan early on). ピ is also super common (it’s the first katakana of his name), but it’s not an emoji. 🍊 for orange piccolo obviously.

Nail: 🐌

Dende: 🫑 or 🌱 (seen it once..)

Frieza: ❄️ I’ve seen this one a couple of times. 🧊 and 🥶 are sometimes used too, for him, King Cold or Cooler.

Tapion: 🗡️

Gods and Kais:

Zamasu:🍵 (the tea he drinks)

Goku Black: 🌹 (a rose by any other name..)

Chronoa: 🕛 or any alternative like⌛️

Shin: 😏 I’ve seen this one used twice, but nothing definitive.

Fusions:

Gotenks: 👻 has happened a couple of times; (Ry has told me 🍩 is also used)

Gogeta: 🥐 (because of the jacket)

Vegito: 🍬 (because he's the strongest candy in the world in the Buu Saga).

Merged Zamasu: 🌀or ❇️

Kefla: 💥 (seen it a few times but not definite either)

Others:

Buu: 🍫

Janemba: 👺 (not super common)

Beerus: 🍺

Whis: 🥃 (😇 has also been used it seems)

Champa: 🍾 or 🥂

Special thanks to Whirly for nudging me to compile further and to Popo and the twitter folks for using those emojis religiously haha

Siguiendo con los mames de Barbie (todo lo que sale de esa película es material para shipps, verdaderamente jajajaja), vi una publicación que era la contraparte del "Grimace Birthday" de McDonalds, pero era la malteada de Barbie entonces en lugar de morir te volvía una bichota, turboexotica, chiquimami, entonces dibujé esto mientras procrastinaba mi tesis. Besos.

I think about the scene where 5-year-old Gohan says he wants to travel to Namek. Chi Chi tells Gohan that he should focus on being a kid. Any good mom would say this, especially after what happened. The fandom cheers Gohan for telling his mom to shut up and basically saying that he has no time to be a kid. Am I the only one who sees this as a tragedy disguised as a heroic moment? Yamcha, Tien and Chiatzu are not Gohan's friends - he never even met them before the battlefield. ChiChi is 100% justified in her concern - as tiger mom as it may sound.

Poor Chichi

Gohan: hey mom i'm going across the galaxy to bring the devil back to life, y'know, that guy who nearly killed you, beat the shit out of dad and who then killed him, kidnapped me and beat me for months.

Chichi: What? NO!

Fandom: GODDAMMIT YOU BITCH SHUT UP

Piccolo at Cell Games: *doesn't want 11 year old Super Saiyan Gohan to fight and yells at Goku for being an idiot*

Fandom: What a good caring father to Gohan and a good friend to Goku.

Chichi:*doesn't want 5 year old Gohan to fight and yells at Goku for being an idiot*

Fandom: What a terrible tiger mother and overbearing wife!

im late for piccolo day... but i made a thirst trap gif set to make it up to you. <3

some doodles from Lythero’s stream I wanted to share here!

He is pookie by the way

[fanfic-lover-girl]

Krillin and Yamcha deserve a better fandom. Krillin is such a hero. He's not crazy strong like Goku and Gohan, but is still willing to fight. No matter what he endures, he gets back up. He protects his loved ones despite his low odds like a true man. He's like the Ron Weasley of Dragonball (but unlike Ron, he has a good wife and a best friend who appreciates him).

Never ceases to amaze me how Krillin had to flee his home in tears over the sheer amount of abuse and bullying he endured, had to deal with everyone looking down on him his whole childhood, had to deal with traumas we can’t imagine, had to fight to overcome PTSD and depression, was STILL willing to lay down his life for the same people who would mock and belittle him… …and yet HE’S the fandom punching bag. HE’S the one the fandom holds in the same kind of mocking contempt as his abusers.

It’s freakin’ nuts. Any other series a character like this would be a fandom darling, or at least appreciated. Why is it this one’s more content to side with his abusers than so much as acknowledge him?

Finally~ look!! An awesome commission piece from an awesome artist on twitter Dindakai

this is based on the scene on the balcony of When Spring Came in ch 1 between Trunks and Marron, just so SO stoked with how this came out

[sweetescapeartist]

"GOHAN DIDN'T WANT TO BE A SCHOLAR!"

DB FANDUMB: "Gohan wanted to be a fighter!"

GOHAN:

GOKU:

CHI-CHI'S FAULT?

Folks wanna blame Chi-Chi, but it ain't her fault that Gohan likes books. He was super intelligent at a young age and she just encouraged and helped his growth the best she could so he can have a successful future. That's his human side. Ppl forget Gohan isn't full Saiyan, so he doesn't like fighting like most Saiyans do. He likes his books.

A JOURNEY TO THE WEST REFERENCE:

And an interesting lil tidbit here is that Gohan is a mixture of Sun Wukong & Tang Sanzang. Sun Wukong was a fighter while Tang Sanzang was peaceful. This is why Gohan doesn't like to fight, but when he turns SSJ2, his Saiyan side that loves combat takes over. Also, Tang Sanzang was a scholar, so that's why Gohan is one too. Gohan is literally a mixture of both characters.

最新英語スラング略語一覧

日本の皆さん、こんにちは。🥰

私は最近、SNSがソーシャル・ネットワーキング・サービスのことだと知って驚きました。英語では「social media」とか「my socials」と言い、"Find my socials in this link” と書いてあれば、「私の他のSNSはこちらのリンクをご覧ください」の意味になります。また、禁止を表すNGも同様で、英語圏ではみられない表現です。It's not goodという言い方はあります。

(my socials <- 私の他のSNSはこちらのリンクをご覧ください 😉)

今回は、外国人がSNSを使う際によく使う略語について説明します。外国語でよく使われる略語や絵文字には、さまざまな意味があるので、ここで少しリストアップしてみますね。

※Fuckingのような失礼な言葉が多用されていることに驚く人も多いと思いますが、これは、元々インターネットスラング自体が非常にインフォーマルなためです。

Goat (🐐)：本来動物のヤギの意味ですが、一般的には「greatest of all time」（史上最高）の略語として使います。憧れのアーティストやキャラクターに対して 「a goat」または 「the goat」と言えば、その人が最高、最強、超いい人、のような意味になります。英語圏以外でも通じます。

ドラゴンボールでは、悟空が🐐であることは間違いない！英語圏の人は "Goatku "と書くこともある。

NGL: I’m not going to lie.が短くなったもの。信じてもらえないだろうけど、マジな話。

TBH (TBQH): to be honest / to be quite honestの略「ぶっちゃけ」。主に否定的な意見を述べるときに使用。TBF (to be fair)も似ているが、こちらは公平な意見を述べるときに使い「正直〜」といったニュアンス

FR : for realの略。肯定文「マジで、本当に」。感嘆文 FR?は 「マジで？」

IKR：I know, right?、激しく同意・それな 。例 「今週の話はめっちゃ良かった！」 「それな。ベジータかっこよかったよね」

IMO：in my opinionの略「私の意見では」。控えめバージョンは IMHO (in my humble opinion) ＝私の意見を言わせていただきますと

AF: "as fuck "の略で「とても、超」。fuckという言葉を書いてしまうよりは失礼にあたらないとされているが、いずれにせよ非常にくだけた表現。例："Bulma is smart af"（ブルマは超頭いい！）。

OFC: of fucking courseの略。「もちろん」を強調した「もちろんだよ！当然だよ！」

W: winの略で、「勝利、勝者」の意。日本語の「笑」の意味はありません。好きなキャラ名の後にFTW(for the win)と書けば「〜しか勝たん」

L: lose / loss / lostの略。Wの反対語。 “Take the L”とは「負けを認めろ」「この負け犬」。日本語ではあまり使わない表現？

Peak: 文字通り「最高潮、最高、絶頂期」。つまり今現在はPeakではないことを意味する。懐かしんで使うことが多い。例“Peak Gohan was SS2 Gohan against Cell.（セル戦のSS2悟飯はマジ良かった"

Mid: middleの略。普通かそれ以下、退屈。忘れてよし、な物。

注：スラングには、黒人コミュニティで作られネット上に拡散したものも多く、黒人以外が使うと極めて人種差別的・攻撃的と見なされることがあります。念のため、そのようなものはここでは書いておりませんが、興味のある方はAAVE（African American Vernacular English）について 調べてみてください。

/x（スラッシュと小文字の組み合わせ）は、トーン・インジケーターと呼ばれ、口調を表します。文字のみでコミュニケーションする際に、誤解を避け、意図を明確にするのに役立ちます。

たくさんありますが、オタク界隈で最も一般的なものは以下の通り：

/s - sarcasm 皮肉

/jk -  just kidding 冗談だけど

/srs - serious 真面目な話

/pos.-positive 良い意味で

/neg.-negative ネガティブな意味で

Simp: 「好きな人のためなら何でもするけど報われない人、尻にひかれている人」の意味で、あるキャラクターの熱狂的ファンであることをやんわりと非難する言い方です。自分に使えば自虐的になります。英語圏の人がセクシーな絵に「Simp!」とコメントすることがあるが、これはアーティストの描いたキャラクターに惚れてしまったことを意味し、多少の冗談を含むことも多いです。

Oof：発音はウーフ、本来はお腹を殴られた時の音。痛々しいこと、衝撃的なこと、超恥ずかしいことが起きたときに使う。

Yikes：「うわっ！」 「うげ！」といったニュアンスで使われ、嫌悪感を意味することが多い。

詳しくはこのウェブサイトをご覧ください。 これらの略語は日常的に使われるものであり、私が挙げたようなオタク文化用のものとは異なる。

@aolihuiさんにはこの記事で大変お世話になりました。貴重な時間を使って私を助けてくれて、本当にありがとう！
