#I LOVE UNCLE YAMCHA

Victory!

[yamcha-universe]

The damn sexy uncle Yamcha

I love this image, I really do. I'm sure he's the guy who indulges little Trunks' every whim and well…. To mature is to accept that Yamcha could have been (with the exception of Piccolo) the best father of the Z gang. Why? He was always loving, patient, genuinely protective and willing to lay down his life if necessary. If he did it for his friends, wouldn't he do it for a son or daughter? It really would have been nice to see him holding a baby that was the product of his greatest dream, which was to get married (and no, Bulma wasn't the one, at least not for me). Perhaps the best consolation prize is to continue to see him as the lone wolf in the skin of a sexy fucking playboy.

OMG, Homie O'Stacies... Had another one of them wild-ass, dumbass dreams, and I'm gonna tell you about it. 😂

Our guys. Our dudes. Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta. And I think Krillin and Yamcha. They were in some kind of "we have to break into Lumpy Space but also survive there long enough to find the thing we came here for and break back out" scenario. Except it wasn't Lumpy Space, it was kinda like...the Jersey Shore and also one of those out of control parties at Jesse Pinkman's house. But the whole fucking city.

And the rules were the same; the stakes were high, because the longer they stayed in Doucheville, the higher the chance was that they'd turn into party animals and forget the mission and get trapped there and all sorts of terrible things.

And it was getting down to the wire. People were like... "recognizing" them, but not as themselves, just calling them by their personas that they would become if they stayed there. And they were like, slapping Solo cups out of each other's hands and getting all sweaty and frantic like, "NO, GUYS, COME ON, STAY FOCUSED!" "I CAN'T, THERE'S TOO MUCH GLITTER!" "NO! STAY FOCUSED, DAMMIT, WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT! WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT HOOOOOME!!!"

And shit got dire, and they realized they weren't gonna be able to retrieve the thing and make it out without a man on the inside or something. And Piccolo was like, "...I gotta do it. I have to." And everyone was all like, "Piccolo...Piccolo, NOOOOOO!!!" And he went into a total fighting-the-werewolf-transformation thing in the storm of lamentation, and was like, "I have to! If we're gonna make it out of here...I...I gotta...I gotta become TallBoi! RRRAAAAAHHHHHH..."

Next thing you know, Pickle's blasting onto the scene in like...a skin-tight vinyl crop-top and some gold parachute pants and a sideways snapback covered in disco ball mirrors or some shit and the most obnoxious sunglasses you ever seen.

TallBoi.

TALLBOI.

And I... I do not care. I know everything worked out in the end, I know this in my heart. But I stan TallBoi. You KNOW he was like the kale & kush smoothie of Snoop Dogg and Ludacris, and Flavor Flav was his uncle. You KNOW he stepped on the scene like, "Let's fuck it up, sluggies," and EVERYBODY fuckin' SCREAMED. You know he was tending bar and cheatin' at flip-cup and doing all sorts of stupid shit with his stretchy arms. You know he started trends for antenna jewelry. He probably recorded and released an album THAT NIGHT, and it was dope AF, and Piccolo hates the fact that he still loves some of those tracks because they are 🔥🔥🔥. He still has tracks from "TallBoi: Pour it Down Ya Throat" on his workout mix.

Vegeta is not allowed to listen to any of it. For multiple reasons.

Anyway.

TallBoi

That pic about Trunks and Yamcha got me thinking, like you just gave au ideas here 😃 like Yamcha being like a father figure to Trunks when Vegeta is MIA or off training somewhere. And that is so sweet that yamcha would send a birthday card to Trunks (I don't think Vegeta does any real domestic father son bonding in canon 🤔 ). And then there is another au idea where Vegeta getting jealous and trying to be more of a father to Trunks and a husband to Bulma where there will be awkward and hilarious situations happening 😆 and Vegeta eventually asking for tips and advice from yamcha but Yamcha is pretty much clueless to what was happening and just being a nice guy who always gives birthday cards, and holiday cards out to everyone 😁 sorry if this was long, just had to share this with you 😅😊

YAY

I was HOPING that that post would inspire headcanons !!!

I just didn't know if I'd see them. And also I thought that it would have taken a few more posts by me on the subject.

I wasn't expecting the warm reception on that comic .. I would have put a bit more effort into crafting the pics if I had known #LOL.

Yamucha held Trunks as a baby more than Vegeta did. Vegeta SAID that he never held Trunks ONCE until he hugged him during the Majin Buu shit. This is a normal and common fact but I feel like if Trunks heard it phrased that way - that Yamucha held Trunks as a baby more than Vegeta did - then it would strike him a bit ... Because in his memory he obviously associates more with his father than with Yamucha, if he heard it phrased that way then it may register as "actually yamucha and I go way back and I just didn't remember" and then it would feel weird to keep treating yamucha like they dont know each other.

Yamucha sends cards becasue of course he does .. It was a practice that was started in a way that was kind of cheeky and more for Bulma's benefit than anything .. It's not uncommon that a baby will receive a gift that is more helpful to the parent than to the baby. So Yamucha sending a baby a birthday card as if it can read was, in his opinion, really funny. Also his way of responding to the fact that He Did Not Receive an Invitation to the baby's First Birthday Party (Bulma just didn't send any out... everyone should KNOW that there's gonna be a party :eye rolling emoji:). Other than that, Yamucha usually does manage to arrive at the birthday parties, but he doesn't always bring gifts (or gifts that are cool to anyone but himself), and sometimes he shows up late, and sometimes he gets drunk with the adults before even having a chance to see the kid (and of course it's more fun for Trunks to do literally anything else on his special day than talk to adults), so, the card is just something Yamucha always does as a back-up / commitment to the bit.

But yknow. Vegeta never even says "happy birthday" to the little guy. And that's fine because that's just the way he is and he expresses love in other ways and Trunks loves him too and this is just how they do it, this is the language of affection that is unique to Vegeta and it's fine because Trunks has learned how to speak it, BUT, YKNOW, there's potential for a story of Trunks discovering how Nice it is to have an adult just be NICE and WARM to him, easily, and who will give him attention without being asked to in contexts other than training and improving oneself.

I used to think about a similar thing when musing about Trunks's Uncle Tarble, but that was specifically when Trunks goes through his tumultuous teen years, and he appreciates the fact that someone is willing to appreciate him as he is and without needing him to be better. Whereas I feel like Yamcuha could be / would be a beneficial presence in Trunks's life when he's a younger kid, and he really just needs to warmth of a parent.

Trunks's parents are doing fine given everything, but it takes a village to raise a kid, and Yamucha is a part of that village.

Oh dear now I'VE gone on for too long..!

BACK TO YOUR ASK: THE SECOND AU: OMG THAT'S SO SILLY... the thing is I thought of a similar thing in my Tarble Days, where everyone loves Tarble because he's nice and considerate, and Vegeta literally concedes defeat and asks Tarble How He Can Be A Better Presence For His Family. But it's a totally different vibe if it's Yamucha .. like there are similarities (tarble & yamucha both Suck in Vegeta's eyes) but there are differences in that .....

Yamucha has known Bulma for longer and is a human himself and maybe he's just more naturally in-touch...?

Maybe there's something about Trunks's human side that Vegeta just isn't speaking to...?

Maybe Vegeta STILL doesn't understand family even after all of this time...?

But what is he to do ... have movie night with them? He hates movies. Talk to his wife more? He hates talking. Hold his son's hand more? One time he saw Yamucha holding Trunks's hand and Trunks's tiny hand completely disappeared in Yamucha's garage of a fist and Vegeta didn't know how he was supposed to feel about that ... He looked at his own hands and wondered if they would be good enough.....

Vegeta trying to have movie night with his family to prove that He Can but he just sits there with his arms crossed the whole time & it doesn't seem like he's enjoying it and it just doesn't suit him .. and it makes it all More Awkward for everyone else..

Anyway. I like to think that Yamucha IS aware of the ways that he is a nice presence for Trunks, just because he's good with kids the way that a fun uncle is, and becasue he's older and wiser than he used to be and he can read people better than he used to .. and he knows more about what's needed by the soul and body and mind ....

HOWEVER. He doesn't realize that Vegeta would look at the friendship that he has with Bulma as something that Vegeta needs to learn from. And though Yamucha knows Bulma & Vegeta pretty well and can parse out what Trunks is missing at home based on that and Trunks's behaviors, he's not actually a parent himself & he has no intentions of being one anytime soon & he doesnt think about it that hard & so he doesnt know that when he lets Trunks come over with Goten to make roasted chestnuts and watch Caddyshack (1980) at his cabin, that that's something that makes Vegeta feel insecure in his role and value as a father.

So YEAH. Vegeta would confront Yamucha and ask him how he can Be Better, and Yamucha would be like "....HUH?"

Yamucha would scratch his head and roll his shoulders and eventually manage to express: "Well... Have you tried just talking to your family? And, like, listening?"

and Vegeta would either blow that off as an unhelpful suggestion OR be so embarrassed that it was that simple all along that he'd walk away in shame.

THANK YOU !!

Ed... that cooking fic prompt... it's perfect... for the boys....

Full prompt: “hi we’re neighbours and omg are you alright i could smell cooking burning - whoaaa now that’s just embarrassing? step aside i’ll handle this”

“Don’t answer that!” Tien had to shout to be heard over the smoke alarm. “If smoke gets out into the hallway it’ll set off the alarms for the whole building and I’m not dealing with that on Christmas Eve!”

“But Tien–” Chiaotzu’s protest was drowned out by the smoke alarm’s wailing and the pounding at the door.

“Just help me turn this thing off!” Tien waved an oven mitt at the alarm, trying to dispel the smoke from the oven. “Open a window or something!”

Chiaotzu rushed off to comply, and Tien dragged a chair over to the smoke alarm to remove the batteries. “That won’t help,” Chiaotzu called over his shoulder. “It’s attached to the wiring as an emergency measure; just keep fanning it!”

Tien growled under his breath and went back to waving his oven mitt.

After a few minutes, whoever was pounding at the door stopped, and Chiaotzu reappeared in the kitchen. “I’ve opened all the windows in the apartment,” he reported. He grabbed a pot holder and carefully extracted the burnt cookies from the oven. “I’ll take these outside.”

“Thanks.” Tien stayed where he was, though his arms were getting tired. He didn’t want to ask Chiaotzu to take over, though; with his little arms he’d be sore in no time. Besides, it was his own fault for not reading the directions right and trusting his ancient oven to work properly. He really needed a new oven–this whole “setting off the smoke alarm at least once a month” thing was getting old. But, well, ovens were expensive, and this one had been free.

“Hello?” Someone’s voice drifted in from the fire escape window. “Is everything okay in here?”

Tien swore under his breath. “Fine,” he called back. The smoke alarm finally stopped going off now that the source of the smoke was outside. “Just a little kitchen mishap, that’s all.” He climbed down off the chair and stretched out his arms and back. So much for that idea.

A man stuck his head through the open window and Tien felt his heart stutter. It was Yamcha, his good-looking new neighbor. “You sure?” he asked, tucking some loose hair behind his ear. “There was a lot of smoke coming out of here.”

Tien flushed, embarrassed. “I swear, it’s just some burnt cookies.” And everything else he’d tried to make that day, but Yamcha didn’t need to know that.

Yamcha clambered through the window and Tien swallowed. He’d only ever seen Yamcha on his way to or from work, where he was dressed in nice slacks and dress shirts. But apparently when he didn’t have to work he was into orange skinny jeans and slim-fitting navy sweaters. He even looked good just hanging around his apartment. Tien suddenly felt horribly inadequate in just his green sweatpants and white tank top. He wasn’t even wearing socks, for crying out loud.

“Well, let me give you a hand.” Yamcha flashed him a grin, but it faded slightly when he saw the state of Tien’s kitchen. “Oh. Wow. That’s, uh, quite the disaster you’ve cooked up there.” He laughed at his own terrible joke before rolling up his sleeves. “Okay, what’re you trying to make?”

“You don’t have to,” Tien protested as Chiaotzu wandered back in to see what all the fuss was about. “I’m sure you have better things to do on Christmas Eve than help out your disaster neighbor.”

Yamcha shrugged. “Not really. Besides, isn’t helping your neighbor in the spirit of Christmas anyway?” He grinned at Tien again and Tien was fucking lost. “So,” Yamcha said, looking around, “what should we make first?”

[fanfic-lover-girl]

Yamcha was never my fav character but this man deserves so much better! He was a great character in DB and now is mocked and treated like a joke, especially by some loser Vegeta/Vegebul stans.

Honestly, I wish there were some more canon scenes or fanfics where Yamcha and Future Trunks spent more time together. I also liked one or two fanfics where Yamcha was a kind of uncle figure to Kid Trunks. But honestly, the man deserves better than to play Daddy for the child of the woman who dumped him for an evil jerk.

As I get older, Bulma's relationship with Vegeta bothers me more and more. And Bulma as a character. What kind of woman spreads her legs for someone like Vegeta? The man was a leech and offered her nothing but arguments. I still love Vegeta as a character but gosh.

Imagine making up lies about Yamcha to make Vegeta (who was currently evil) look like a better person.

The same Vegeta who Future Bulma lied about to her son because Vegeta was very evil and uncaring.

The same Vegeta who would have let Bulma and his own infant son die if Future Trunks didn't save them.

The same Vegeta that Bulma knew was so evil that he definetly went to Hell as she lied to her son about there being good in Vegeta.

(Vegeta first began to change from evil to good after he spent 1 yr training in the Room of Spirit & Time with Future Trunks. And Vegeta gained some respect for his son from the future after he attacked him when Vegeta was helping Cell achieve his perfect form. Future Vegeta never changed from evil to good because he never had a "Future Trunks" to be the catalyst of his change.)

All of this evidence and yet DB fans continue to lie about Yamcha. They go along with the lies that Bulma told Trunks, even though he found out the harsh truth; his mom slept with an evil man and lied to make her son think better of herself and better of his evil father by telling her son that Yamcha was a cheater.

Even if Yamcha was a cheater (evidence shown in the manga reveals YAMCHA IS NOT A CHEATER) does that mean Vegeta was "better" than Yamcha? NO. Vegeta directly threatened to kill Bulma multiple time, commits genocide, & his ultimate goal was to kill Goku then the others in his way. Then his future self died an evil man while the present Vegeta got a chance to change thanks to Future Trunks.

Is being a pure evil murderer really better than being an alleged cheater? Present & Future Vegeta killed Namekian children in the last arc & only didn't continue to kill ppl on Earth because Goku was stronger than him with SSJ. Then, Present Vegeta was going to let his own son and baby momma die & he then put the world in danger just to stroke his Saiyan pride.

Yamcha was nowhere near that evilnas Vegeta was nor did he ever cheat.

Meanwhile, Yamcha wanted to marry Bulma and was sad after he found out she had a child with their 100% still evil enemy who threatened all of their lives (& recently threatened Bulma's life) and he was partially responsible for most of the Z Warriors deaths.

And let's not forget that Yamcha was the one to tell Future Trunks that his father cared for him.

Trunks began to despise his own father, but Yamcha is the only one who told Trunks about what Vegeta did. That his father did actually care about him. Why? What did Yamcha have to gain from it? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Yamcha just wanted Trunks to return home happy. Yamcha literally helped bring hope to the future. Yamcha even made Future Bulma (who lied on Yamcha) feel better about herself when her lie to make Vegeta look good ended up being barely true in an alternate timeline.

Why do so many ppl hate this man?

EXTRA BUU SAGA STUFF:

And let's not forget how Yamcha tried to save Bulma's relationship in the Buu Saga.

Dude moved on from her and now just wants to help out a friend. A friend who was so extremely depressed to the point she fainted in disbelief that her husband killed hundreds of people (and almost her too) just to fight Goku.

Yamcha tried to fix Vegeta's sins & he did. But many in the fandom still spread the lie that Yamcha knew Vegeta died & he made a wish to only bring back the good people so that Vegeta would stay dead. A blatant lie. Goku told Yamcha, Bulma, & the others that Gohan & Vegeta were dead AFTER they made the wish.

Stop lying on Yamcha. Y'all gotta be obsessively jealous to keep lying about a good man.

Things I would change about Dragon Ball Z and Super

Love Dragon Ball, but if I could change things, it would be this

Raditz and Nappa would live.  I always felt like it was such a waste to just kill Radditz and Nappa. Maybe first Raditz's plea to let him go was genuine and Piccolo's special beam cannon fired and Goku died to save his brother and that's what gives him a change of heart. And Raditz tells Piccolo about Vegeta and Nappa, they will know about Earth. So they agree to train Gohan together. With Nappa Goku would save him from Vegeta. Both would survive all the way through the sagas. Eventually Raditz would have a family of his own with Launch. And Nappa would be as he always was Vegeta's body guard and friend but does it for his family now and is like Trunks' uncle. Both Raditz and Nappa become Super Saiyan once entering the Time Chamber  during the Cell Saga.

The Frieza forces and the universe would be divided by King Cold, Frieza and Cooler. 

Because Toriyama is an asshole who couldn’t bother to give the Queen Of All Saiyans and Vegeta’s mother a fucking name. I am gonna take inspiration from the MasakoX and name her Queen Cassava. She would be in equal powers with King Vegeta. Queen Cassava would look something like this

Elements of Bardock Father Of Goku movie would remain canon, but later down the road elements of Dragon Ball Minus/Broly would be mixed with BFOG. To keep Bardock’s character and the nature of Saiyans of old in tact, while also suggesting that Gine had the final say in sending Kakarot away. Gine and Fascha would be besties, like Bardock and Tora were. Bardock is able to convince the Saiyans to unite and stand against Frieza. So Bardock, Gine and King Vegeta & Queen Cassava all get the Saiyans and launch a rebellion. But of course Frieza killed them all and destroyed Planet Vegeta.(if you were gonna change Bardock’s story, then actually have him convince King Vegeta and the Saiyans to stand against Frieza. It would’ve been in vain, but damn it would’ve been cool to see)

It would be established that King Cold conquered nearly the entire universe and it almost came to a stop when King Cold ran into Majin Buu and Beerus. There is a reason why King Cold told his son never to cross Buu and Beerus. At his final form, King Cold is as strong as SSJ3. In his fight with Kid Buu, Buu mortally wounded King Cold, his power reduced. And when he fought Beeurs, Beerus beat Cold so badly that he was knocked back into his sealed/first form and Beerus sealed Cold’s ability to transform.

Frieza has the Ginyu Force, Cooler has his Armored Squadron and King Cold has the Frost Legion.

Chi-Chi would be a Z-Fighter and keep to her warrior roots. I always thought Toriyama did Chi-Chi dirty. In Dragonball, she was this warrior princess that loved Goku and would fight bu his side no matter what. In DBZ, Toriyama erased her as a warrior and turning her into an overbearing mother and nagging housewife  was one of Toriyama's awful decisions. So what I would do is Chi-Chi would become the Ox Queen and inherit her father’s kingdom as new lord of Fire Mountain and become one of the strongest humans on Earth. She would train with Goku and she would want Gohan to study and fulfill his dreams, but she would also want Gohan to be strong and defend himself and the people who can’t defend themselves. Chi-Chi would become the strongest human on earth and is capable of going toe to toe with the Saiyans, Ginyu force, and the androids. Art source

Vegeta and Bulma would fall in love on Namek. Inspired by this Vegebul doujin.

When they are on King Kai’s world, King Kai would teach Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha and Chaotizu the Kaioken

While training for the Androids, Goku would teach Gohan and Krillin Kaioken

Frieza would not return after Namek(more on that later)

Android 16 would be brought back after Cell’s defeat

After Cell’s defeat, Androids 16 and 17 would return to 18 and would be the watchful protectors of 18′s new family.

Eventually Bulma upgrades the 3 Androids to become Super 16, 17 and 18

Gohan would continue training. He would fly to the lookout to train with Piccolo in the Time Chamber after every study session for the 7 year period. By the time the 7 years passes, Gohan would’ve surpassed his power when he fought Cell. He's as strong as Majin Vegeta at full power but as soon as he starts training with the Z-Sword, he goes to SSJ3. Mystic Gohan surpasses SSJ3 and absolutely manhandles Super Buu but is of course absorbed by Buu.

Piccolo isn’t given the shaft. My biggest complaint about DBZ and Dragon Ball Super is how Toriyama gives Piccolo the shaft just to pander to the Vegeta fanboys. So after the Cell saga, Piccolo basically becomes Dende’s defender and trains every day with Gohan for 7 years so both of them can become strong to protect the Earth together. Piccolo ascends Super Namek and is as strong as SSJ2. Piccolo does not turn to stone. Piccolo joins Goku, Vegeta and Gohan in Dabura’s Fortress. Piccolo should have joined everyone in the ship. Piccolo would hold his own against Buu but knows it would be pointless. So he decides to let the fusion play out as it was. Both Gotenks and Piccolo both fight Super Buu. Both of them proving to be strong and equal to Super Buu, which drives Buu to absorb them even more. Piccolo is treated with respect in the Buu Saga as he should be.  It is complete bullshit that a character who is so iconic when it comes to Dragon Ball is treated so poorly.  

Videl would be a Z Fighter

Replace Babidi and Bibidi with Dabura. In my opinion the Buu saga would be better if Majin Buu was Dabura’s creation. King of the demon world was wasted. Dabura should’ve been to what Beerus was for the gods. Because Dabura could not outright challenge Beerus and the angels. Dabura created Buu to kill the Supreme Kais. Dabura would basically be the Devil of Dragon Ball and Buu is his Anti-Christ. Dabura is killed by Buu, but Dabura is accidentally brought back by the Dragon Balls. Just so we can get him in Super.

Dabura as the king of hell brought Frieza and Cell with him. Due to Dabura's power, Frieza gained a new transformation and Cell went beyond perfect, his ultimate form.  

After absorbing Gotenks, Piccolo and Gohan, Super Buu would absorb Frieza and Cell. This would turn him into Ultimate Buu. and I think it could look something like this. 

Vegeta gained SSJ3 while in the afterlife. When they fuse, Vegito is SSJ3. This is enough to contend with Ultimate Buu

While inside Buu, after ripping out everyone, Vegeta destroys Frieza and Cell when he has the chance.

After Kid Buu's defeat, Good Buu would've fought evil Buu, ate him and became the good Super Buu and probably would've absorbed and shortly spat out the Z Fighters to become just as strong as Ultimate Buu. And to atone for what he’s done as Majin Buu, Buu goes to the world of the Kais and with their help, Buu achieves enlightenment and becomes the trump card of the Z-Fighters if a situation becomes dire.

Cut the Pilaf bullshit entirely and ESPECIALLY cut the gross Trunks and Mai relationship.

Gohan and Videl would keep up their training after Buu’s defeat, while also keeping up with their education. Videl is the strongest human on earth.

Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Nappa, Raditz and Piccolo would all train with Whis

When Frieza is brought back, King Cold and Cooler bring him back. But, King Cold is informed there is one more wish. Cold wished for his injuries to go away and for the ability to transform again. So Frieza spouts about his plan for revenge against Goku, King Cold obliges his sadistic son's desire for revenge, cause he saw his son's defeat as a slight to his race and family. So Father and sons train together and gain new transformations. Frieza has his golden transformation, Cooler has a silver transformation of his final transformation from the movies. And King Cold has a Platinum final transformation. Frieza and Cooler would be evenly matched, but King Cold's power eclipses his sons. So when the Cold Family goes to Earth, they bring the full might of the Frieza Force, Tagoma and Cooler’s Armored Squadron and King Cold’s Frost Legion. Where Frieza trained with Tagoma to the point where he nearly died every day, Cooler does the same with Salza. We have that great fight between the Z-Fighters and The Frieza Force. When Goku and Vegeta arrives, they both fight Frieza and Cooler. King Cold while observing his sons fight, suddenly senses a presence he hasn't felt in a millennia. He senses Majin Buu. King Cold goes and ways waste to Buu and takes his own revenge, killing Mr Satan as collateral damage, but that did not kill Buu. Eventually King Cold would get bored and decide to push his sons aside and decide to end this pest once and for all. King Cold transforms to his 4th form. and is evenly matched with Goku and Vegeta. Goku like the idiot he is asks to see King Cold's final form. King Cold transforms into a Platinum transformation. Cold ways waste to Goku and Vegeta. When King Cold sees Beerus. He tells the god of destruction, “Lord Beerus, after I am finished with the Saiyans, you are next.”  But Goku and Vegeta have no choice but to fuse into Gogeta. They are evenly matched. King Cold gets bored with the fight and decides to blow the planet up. King Cold with his sons together at full power unleashes the death ball on Earth. The Death Ball is then overpowered by Buu, and Buu is VERY ANGRY. Buu instantly kills Frieza and Cooler and the full power of Buu and Cold’s fight is enough to destroy the planet. Whis of course saves Goku and Vegeta. Both Goku and Vegeta blame themselves for the destruction of Earth and Whis turns back time and turns it back to the moment the Cold Family arrived and unleashed their full power on the Colds, ending The Cold Family and their empire once and for all and technically finally gives Vegeta a win over the family that destroyed his life. 

Due to his maturity after becoming the good Ultimate Buu, Buu would not fall asleep and would take Frieza’s place in the TOP

After the TOP. There would be the Dabura saga. Dabura returns and is strong enough to challenge the gods and angels. Basically, hell on earth. The demon realm invades and Dabura becomes the final big bad of Super.

After the tournament of power. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin become teachers to Goten, Trunks, Marron, Uub, Pan and Bra and basically pass on the torch to the new generation(aka what Super should have been all along. Yes I know about the Morrow arc, but they are continuing Super’s problem and making it the Goku and Vegeta show again)

[dbzebra]

Gohan has dinner with his two uncles

(Hc that after Goku decides to stay dead, Yamcha and Krillin hang around a lot to keep him company and help Chichi out)

I love parts of the game like this

[mannatea]

Shh I’m watching at work now.

I can’t believe nobody makes Trunks shut the fUCK up. MY BOI. MY LIL GUY. The baddies are right there and you don’t know how good their hearing is. STOP CHEERINGGGGG ARGHGHGHHH

Though I gotta say, Trunks calling Vegeta “papa” is the cutest shit.

I’m also becoming increasingly convinced via my memories of early DBZ episodes, as well as this arc, that Piccolo is more or less hoarding most of the brain cells. Between he and Krillin there’s just nothing left for Goku or Vegeta.

Vegeta going all out on Boo is kinda spicy though idk. Thinking back it’s almost hysterical how Gohan got obliterated in, what, like… four seconds flat? That’s a big oof.

Vegeta blasting a hole through Boo’s middle is kiiinda sexy of him, ngl. Vegeta stans know what they’re about. That said, he shoulda kept blastin.

The mid-episode cuts are so fucking funny btw. Like the further I get into the arc the funnier it is to cut away from the tense action to show Gohan and Videl riding around in that 666 Satan car with the goofy music and then flip to Goku standing in the goddamn way with his one whole brain cell to even goofier music.

I gotta support Piccolo and Krillin staying to check out the fight though. I would have abandoned Vegeta in a second to make sure the kids got out of there lmfao.

Also, Boo is honestly the most terrifying fuckin’ guy like. When he opens his eyes and says some shit I’m like. Yeahno. I don’t like this. That’s basically my sleep paralysis demon.

I love how like literally nobody did shit to help or protect Shin, his dumb purple ass just out there takin a dirt nap… got blown way the fuck off course.

“Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, BYE-BYE!” This is the worst.

LMAO at Trunks being told to calm down after everyone tells Gohan to get angry. HAHAH

The boys trying to save Vegeta though ARGGHHHH wholesome. Good. “But Uncle!” STAHP. Listen the family fuckin dynamics with these people is probably one of the best parts of the series in general. Gets me every time. Shut up and don’t touch me.

Them unrolling Vegeta though HFDSKLAFDSAJKLDSA.

Piccolo doing a /spit emote out here. Sir that was banned from World of Warcraft, you can’t just dO that nowadays.

“Trunks, take good care of Bulma…your mama” VEGETA GET OUT OF HERE WITH THIS SAPPY SLOP

Someone needs to photoshop Vegeta as the Guess I’ll Die guy. Please.

“Let me hug you.” SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

“I’m counting on you, Piccolo.” SHUT UPPPP

AHAHAHA I forgot that Vegeta was like hmm when I die can I see my rival again maybe perhapsies? And Piccolo is like… “lol no, you’re too much of a shitstain actually.” The fact that Vegeta is still like welp whatever (and dies anyway?). He might be the prince of all saiyans but that’s KING shit bro.

Vegeta used Self-Destruct! (kinda hot… /twirls hair)

I forgot that they just sorta gloss over the fact that Video reunited with Gohan’s family and for some reason left with them. None of that is explained or anything. Like wtf? Does her dad even know where she fucking is? UHH???

But also thanks ChiChi for blaming Videl for your SUPER SAIAYAN LITTLE BOY getting away from Videl, a human woman who had to turn back because she couldn’t keep up flying lmfao. Ma’am, she could not have stopped those kids lol. At least Yamcha steps in to remind everyone of that.

But Videl leading them to where everyone else went… I mean that explains why she’s with them but it’s annoying that they just skipped over the entire scene of her finding them and explaining it lmao. Not that the manga dove into it either I guess.

Poor Bulma. IIRC in the manga he only barely misses hitting Bulma and the extended family with that blast of his in the stadium. I wonder why they changed that for the anime.

“My heart is trembling.” Weh, poor Bulma. I know this trope is sTUPID AS SHIT but I LOVE IT. Also, I don’t think I ever considered it before, but isn’t this kind parallelled with Videl refusing to believe Gohan is dead because she feels like she would know if he was? LOL

18 leaving her lil girl with Videl. <3 I STAN 18.

Krillin all sad about Gohan being dead… SMASH CUT TO GOHAN CRUISING AROUND IN A LITTLE CAR TO FUNKY MUSIC

“Thanks to 18, we’ve been saved!” And 18 does that lil smile. MA’AM STOP YOU’RE SO CUTE.

Piccolo RP walking across the fucking craterrrr

Pieces of Boo scattered on the ground. Eugh, gross. Too bad this didn’t actually work hahahaha. The Boo Bits wiggling on the ground is truly fucking horrifying LMFAO I HATE IT. Tiny Boos. Itty bitty little guys. No thanks.

There’s Shin. I missed him.

Videl calling Bulma and ChiChi “aunt” and Bulma taking offense to it is peak comedy to me. But also is Videl the only person here with a brain cell?? Why would they let Bulma climb up there by herself? JFC.

Bulma asking everyone to help and ChiChi is like /flex and starts MARCHIN. But Videl beats her to it and she’s like DON’T GET HURT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO MARRY MY SON. Honestly? She’s an icon. AND SHE DIVES IN ANYWAY. I love her too.

Goku, finally awake. First thing out of his mouth: Vegeta stole my beaaannnn

Boo shoves a rollercoaster train off the track. SMASH CUT TO GOHAN CRUISING IN A LITTLE CAR

Videl is having a very strange 24 hours here. She’s just “WTF” constantly. Same girl, but I do this because I get stupid emails every day. I love that everyone chains up holding hands and shit to get instant transmissioned to the lookout though and she’s like just standing there confused

I’m Bulma’s parents refusing to leave because I’m not leaving my creatures. “If we die just bring us back with the dragonballs!” SAME.

Kibito waking up not dead is me waking up every time my alarm goes off.

ChiChi making sure Videl comes ahhh. Also, lol… honey is your father not worried absolutely SICK over where you aRE?!?! I mean, I get the feeling this doesn’t really occur to Videl because her father barely seems to notice if she’s around or not, but still.

Yamcha not five minutes ago: “Bring back everyone who died today! Except the bad guys.” Goku: “Gohan and Vegeta are dead.” Why isn’t anyone talking about the dragonballs and the wish they literally just made lol.

Random thoughts about DBZ because I’m rewatching starting at the Great Saiyaman Arc.

Gohan is just so wholesome and good. Even after all these years I still stan with my whole heart. When he finds out that Mr. Satan has been taking credit for (more or less) his and his friends’ work during the Cell Games, and all he does is just have a giggle about it? I love him your honor.

These episodes start off so goofy after the more serious tone of the Cell Games arc, but even though they’re not very serious there’s enough realism in there for the silliness to feel grounded I guess? Like yeah, “Gohan goes to high school” sounds so dull off the cuff, but there’s something seriously charming about him trying to “fit in” and “be normal”—and to a degree it’s a relatable issue, too. He really is just trying to make friends and keep them (after a lifetime so far of not really having friends his own age)(I think Dende sort of counts for this but they don’t see each other as often as, say, a school friend group does).

Videl doesn’t half-ass anything and frankly that’s one of the reasons I will always love her.

Seriously, I love her so much. I wish they’d had more time to develop her character and go into a bit more about why she acts the way she does, but a lot of that can just be inferred. It’s not really surprising that she’s out there like a bloodhound sniffing out bullshit from Day 1 considering her father’s fame and what that has probably meant for her for the last 7ish years.

Also she’s a Fashion Icon actually. Spandex shorts and a t-shirt? Same, girl.

She does attach herself to Gohan awfully quickly, which ties back into wishing we got more character development, buttttt it seems pretty clear early on that part of the reason she wants to know who he is is because he’s “just like her for real”: she definitely seems to understand she’s found someone worth her time.

I think there’s probably something to be said here about her father’s bullshit too, and filling her head with ideas about how she can only date someone as strong as he is (when she believes nobody like that exists, especially not someone her age) but really I feel like that connection forms so quickly because Gohan is not a simp or a fan of hers; he just has a similar idea of justice, and she really vibes with that. It feels like a genuine connection to another person, which she probably hasn't experienced often.

Anyway I just love how earnest and hard-working she is.

And I’m sorry because the shipping goggles are permanently affixed to my dumb face at this point in my life with these characters, but it’s still pretty cute (and funny tbh) that Videl and Gohan have this constant back and forth of her doing something and him being genuinely impressed by her, even though her accomplishments are like, absolutely nothing compared to what he and his friends can do. It just kind of sets up Gohan as a “look at my awesome wife” kind of guy, which he definitely is. LOL.

I also really like how he manages to recognize that she has limitations (as she is just a human being) without ever really coming across like he’s disrespecting her as a person. Above all, Gohan does try to be respectful. Or when he’s worried about potentially coming up against her father in the tournament because he’s concerned beating her father in a match might hurt her feelings? He’s such a good kid.

He’s also dumb as shit re: the hair comment, but there’s something about that stupid 5 second scene that I love too… Like Gohan was just spitting facts about short hair being harder to use against her in a fight, but she totally misunderstood his meaning and then gets mad about it. LOL. It feels very…teenagery to me (as it should). But when she comes back with short hair anyway, it’s nice because even though she was upset for having misunderstood him, she obviously recognizes the truth in his words. It was good advice—so she takes it.

I also feel kind of bad for Gohan for all the teasing he gets at the start of the tournament for his “friend” being a “girl” like pleaaase give him a break. The poor kid barely has friends. Let’s not pigeonhole him into a romantic relationship too.

Honestly Videl needs time to build up a good friendship too. She kind of sucks at making and keeping friends and doesn’t need the pressure of romance on her plate (even though she’s obviously sorta interested HAHAHA).

I mean I like that they do get together in the end (obviously, I was the biggest G/V shipper in the old days lol) but that their friendship felt highlighted first and foremost was always meaningful to me personally lol.

Also to backtrack, it’s still hilarious that ChiChi was suspicious of Videl until she found out she was rich. ICONIQUE.

 Goten is the cutest little kid ARGHHHH. I love him so much.

One thing about watching the series in Japanese is that I miss out on the dub’s terrible rapping attempts by Gohan and frankly that is PEAK COMEDY.

Videl sounds 10x cuter in the original, too, now that I think about it. And Hercule sounds much more serious (despite his comedic relief character) which is a great contrast actually.

Announcer man is a fave too btw. I love him.

Backtracking again but Vegeta at the beginning of this arc was actually not as much of an asshole as I remember him being in the dub. But also why is his voice so smooth?? LOL.

Currently on the Trunks vs. Goten fight episode where Videl is like “WTF” about everything. I kinda feel bad for her, but I like that while her not knowing what’s going on is part of the comedy aspect of the episodes, she’s never treated like she’s stupid for it. For all of DBZ’s faults I will say some characters were done surprisingly well.

Ship: Vegebul. Character: Gohan?

starting with vegebul!

when I started shipping it if I did: well i knew they were together before i ever even really got into the series, but i don’t remember when i personally started thinking it was cute. probably while watching the abridged series lol

my thoughts: the ship itself is fine but i can’t say i’m always fond of the fandom

What makes me happy about them: they clearly love each other and have a happy relationship

What makes me sad about them: ....sometimes it kinda feels like bulma sees vegeta as “human lite” or w/e. i feel like she doesn’t seem to care about where he’s coming from, and i sometimes get the impression that she doesn’t want to think about him being an alien. on top of that, vegeta’s not a particularly stable person and has endangered his family multiple times, seemingly with little consequence. they’re both self-centered people, and while that’s part of what makes them work, it’s also a very dangerous thing. it doesn’t seem like they’re good at setting boundaries with one another. they need counseling and it’s sad that they probably won’t get it.

things done in fanfic that annoys me: YAMCHA BASHING.

things I look for in fanfic: cultural clashes and resolving poor communication. also stories where the trauma of being a child soldier is addressed, but that’s less about the ship itself

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: yamcha (for either of them), goku or raditz (for vegeta), chichi or launch (for bulma)

My happily ever after for them: therapy. or, after they’re dead, bulma visiting vegeta in hell (he’s still going there don’t @ me no amount of saving the earth makes up for genocide) and beating the shit out of frieza with him.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: bulma is the big spoon, vegeta is the little spoon (partly bc that’s how it is and partly because it’s not safe for vegeta to hold bulma while asleep - he’s much, much stronger than her, and one nightmare could lead to him accidentally hurting her)

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: arguing

and gohan!!!

How I feel about this character: baby boy. baby.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: videl and dende

My non-romantic OTP for this character: piccolo!!! green dad forever

My unpopular opinion about this character: honestly? i don’t think gohan resents his dad as much as fanfic would imply. i do think he’s had moments of resentment, but i feel that it’s more likely he resents himself for any bitterness he feels towards goku.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: kinda wish his relationship with vegeta had gotten explored more. they’ve got a lot in common.

my OTP: videl/gohan/dende

my cross over ship: none

a headcanon fact: after goten was born, he began thinking about raditz again and wondering what his dad and uncle’s relationship could’ve been like in another life.

HanVi Week 2020: Day Seven: Wedding

Wedding

  Ironic how a night of storms brings about the brightest mornings. It was as if a higher power was apologizing for the calamity of the previous night. Last night was a wild one. Rain and hail pounded the rooftops and windows. Wind howled violently ripping a few shingles of homes. This didn’t happen at the home of Mr. Satan, world savior of the Cell Games. No, his mansion was too sturdy and strong to buckle at the wild weather.

 The pavilions on display in his mass backyard weren’t so lucky. The canopy pavilions that flew in the wind became flying projectiles were spread out over the yard with one in the roof of the gazebo pavilion. Expensive flowers were scattered over the yard along with a few garden statues. The father of the bride woke up in a panic seeing the mess of his yard on his daughter’s most important day.

 Her wedding day.  

 The wedding planner was on the phone making arrangements for new pavilions, a gazebo and flowers to be delivered. It was expensive, especially the imported flowers but cost meant nothing for Mr. Satan to give his daughter the perfect wedding.

 While the father of the bride was on task to make sure the wedding goes off without a hitch, miles away the father of the groom took the small stroll from his bedroom to his son’s room. He was his son’s best man and as such responsible to not only give a speech at the wedding (he wasn’t looking forward to that) but also was responsible to throw him a bachelor party. Son Goku had zero experiences organizing anything. He was saved from asking his wife on what to do when his former teacher offered to organize the party. Master Roshi never had the chance to throw Goku one. He wouldn’t miss the opportunity to throw one for his son.  

 Goku brought Gohan to Master Roshi’s home expecting a party similar to the ones Bulma hosted at her home. Gohan’s friends from college and work were there. His friends, Krillin and Yamcha were there, too as were many party girls, strippers and alcohol!

 The latter of the three took Goku and Gohan by surprise. Gohan’s friends and Yamcha took full advantage of the many beautiful women and alcohol. Krillin acted as bodyguard to Gohan when some of the women became too flirty with the groom. Some of the beautiful women flirted with Goku but his blunt rejection and confusion of the flirty women left them cold. Gohan indulged in the alcohol and games as he was used to sharing drinks and attending parties with his friends during college. Goku had a few drinks though didn’t feel the kick that eventually affected Master Roshi, Krillin and Yamcha. His Saiyan body had more resistant to alcohol than everyone else. Gohan being half Saiyan started to feel the effects with a buzz as the evening wore on.

It was a fun evening. Goku didn’t understand all of it but it was fun. He didn’t mind the strippers though he preferred the stripping performances of his wife. The card and drinking games were hilarious. Watching a drunk Master Roshi, Yamcha and Gohan friends make fools of themselves were slightly funny though confusing to him. By the end of the night, the alcohol eventually got to Krillin who begged Goku to not tell ChiChi he drunkenly motorboated a beautiful woman who he mistaken for his wife. If ChiChi knew, his wife will know and only Porunga can bring him back.

 The party ended after three in the morning. Yamcha and Master Roshi stayed at Master Roshi’s home while the party girls and strippers were picked up by their company’s vehicle services. Goku being the only sober one, teleported Goku’s friends to Mr. Satan’s home. The vast mansion had guest rooms for everyone and since the bride was on the other side of the mansion she didn’t see or know about the arrival of her drunk guests. Unfortunately, when Goku teleported to Mr. Satan’s home, he used Mr. Satan’s Ki and teleported to his bedroom where the world champ was being entertained by two women.

 Indulging with naked women sexually seemed to be the theme of the night and like Krillin, he had to promise not to tell ChiChi who would tell Videl of what her father was doing the night before her wedding.

 Returning to Master Roshi’s place, he found a buzzed Gohan helping a drunk Yamcha and Master Roshi in bed. Krillin was drunk but sober enough to clean up and fly home. That left Gohan. He was clearly buzzed as they say and knew he couldn’t take Gohan to ChiChi like this. So, keeping a hand around his son’s waist flew, hoping the flight will have him sober when they arrive home.

 It didn’t. Gohan stumbled a few times in the dark house as Goku walked him to his room. Gohan was sober enough to dress alone but Goku stood at the door just in case he was needed. As soon as Gohan’s head tapped the pillow, he was knocked out. Goku looked over the room briefly before walking out. His room was very sparse now. As a wedding present, Mr. Satan bought a huge capsule home for Gohan and Videl. To the surprise of everyone, the engaged couple decided they will place their home next to Gohan’s parents’ house. Videl was a city girl but over the years of courting Gohan grown accustomed to the country life her future husband lived. It also would give her the privacy she and Gohan could never have living in the city.

 Goku returned to his room where ChiChi was fast asleep. Removing his clothes, Goku climbed in bed with his wife. His presence awakened her as ChiChi rolled over and snuggled with Goku.

 “You smell of alcohol and smoke,” ChiChi mumbled.

 “I had a few drinks but Gohan’s friends were smoking.” He wiggled his nose as if he could still smell the stench of smoke.

 “And Gohan?”

Goku recalled seeing Gohan puff a few cigarettes. He didn’t understand the habit himself. It was something Gohan picked up among his friends in college. It wasn’t a habit ChiChi or Videl were pleased with, but as it was something Gohan indulged in only when with his friends, it was tolerated for now.

 “He had a couple of cigarettes.”

 “Maybe a child will force that indulgence out of him,” ChiChi murmured. “You protect him from the women?”

 “I did. Krillin did most of it…..”

“Before he got drunk,” ChiChi sleepily finished. “18 will find out what he did and tell me. I imagined he’s buzzed but as long as Gohan isn’t hungover for the wedding…” Another yawn departed from ChiChi’s lips. “You’re his best man, Goku, but you’re his father so look out for him a little longer.”

 ****

 Gohan had a slight throb to his head when he woke up. The effects of last night still lingered. He pulled off the covers slightly confused. His memory was a little foggy but he recalled flying home with his Dad. He felt the strong arm of his father around him as the two talked and laughed at the events of the night.

 It was nice bonding with his father this way. Gohan always cherished the bonding he and his father shared when it didn’t include fighting. Unfortunately, that’s when most of their bonding occurred in his early childhood. In his twenties now, Gohan’s memories of his life with his mother and father before Uncle Raditz were fading. Where Gohan could remember hours of events in a day as child, as a man those memories were flashes now. He remembered pieces of those events, recall feelings of being held by his parents; a warm kiss on his cheek from his mother; a tender rub of his head from his father.

 Full memories of those moments were locked away in old family photos or the sharp mind of his mother who would share stories of those days from time to time. Bonding with his father didn’t start again until after he returned to life. It was an adjustment. Gohan had grown and changed from when he last saw his father. His father had to adjust a lot because he still saw Gohan as a nine-year-old boy instead of a teenager in high school with friends, a girlfriend and a life that didn’t include fighting. There were awkward moments where his father tried to carry him on his shoulders as a child; things his Dad did that were embarrassing to Mom but fine to Gohan as a child were now embarrassing now as an adult.

 One of Gohan’s favorite bonding moments with his Dad occurred when he talked to him about proposing to Videl. His Mom told him Dad has different sides. There were sides only she has seen. The night before Gohan proposed to Videl, Gohan got a glimpse of what his Mom meant.

 “Whatcha doin’ out here, Gohan?”

 Gohan’s father float from the ground to sit with him on the roof of their home. Recalling the small box in his hand, Gohan shoved the velvet box in his pocket.

 “What’s that, Gohan?”

 Gohan cringed. He hoped Dad didn’t see that. Knowing his Dad will keep asking until he told him, Gohan took out the box. “I….I got something for Videl. I don’t know how to give it to her.”

 “That box?” Goku took the box from Gohan and opened it. “Ya wanna give Videl a ring?” Gohan prepared himself to explain the purpose of the ring since his Dad didn’t understand when….. “Oh!” it dawned on Goku. “Ya gonna ask Videl to marry you.” He handed the box back to him. “Just ask her, Gohan. She’s gonna say yes.”

 Gohan stared at the diamond ring. He knew Videl will say yes. They both love each other. Videl even hinted about children one day so logically Videl should say yes but it was still scary to ask her. What if he’s wrong? What if she says no? Erasa turned down her boyfriend’s proposal and they’ve been living together since college. Erasa was happy in her relationship but she wasn’t sure if she was ready for a permanent commitment. Being Videl’s friend, this worried Gohan.

 “I know….but what if she doesn’t.”

 “Gohan,” Gone was Dad’s lighthearted voice. He was suddenly serious. “Don’t worry. Videl will say yes. She’s been waiting for this. Don’t make the mistake I did and kept Mom so waiting so long she worried I wouldn’t marry her.”

 Gohan knew the story of his parents’ proposal. It sounded like them. “But you didn’t know you promised Mom you will marry her when you were a kid. She misunderstood, too, but you both got over that.”

 “We did, but for too long, Mom thought I only married her because of the promise. She didn’t realize I did fall in love with her.” He shrugged sheepishly. “I wasn’t good with that type of stuff with your Mom then. She knows I love her but I wish I could take away the hurt I caused. I hurt her a lot over the years but this one, I really wish I could have a second chance at that.” Gohan stared at his Dad astonished. He couldn’t remember his Dad talk about his emotions like this. He didn’t know his Dad was capable of it.

 This was definitely a rare moment and Gohan knew he couldn’t let it go to waste. So, he asked, “What second chance?”

 Dad was quiet for several moments. Gohan thought he missed his opportunity but his father quietly confessed, “I wish I proposed to her.”

 Whoa! Gohan never expected to hear that but it made sense. “Gohan,” Dad warned him. “Don’t keep her waiting. The longer you do, the longer she will have doubts about you two. Don’t ever let her feel that.”

 Gohan took his father’s advice to heart. The next day he proposed to Videl and wedding plans were on the way.

 He lied in bed late this morning thinking of how momentous this day and how that talk with Dad led to this when he heard a knock on his door. “Gohan? Are ya awake?”

 He should be, Gohan mused as he sat up. It was almost 11am and he was getting married at 2pm. That bachelor party. He thought of the behavior of his friends. He had a slight head throb that will gone by the ceremony but his friends were suffering a heavy hungover. Saiyan blood was a blessing.

 Dad entered the room. He was already dressed in his suit except his tie hung loosely around his neck. Mom got him ready. Dad could put on a suit but after all these years, still didn’t know how to tie a tie. “Are Mom and Goten still here?”

 “I took Mom to Mr. Satan’s place. Mom is helping Videl get ready. That means I have to get Goten ready.” Dad laughed nervously. “ChiChi has a lot of faith in me to do that.”

 Gohan pushed off the bed covers and swung his long legs off the bed. “I’ll help.” Aside from a few clothes, most of Gohan’s things were in the house Mr. Satan gifted to him and Videl. After a week holiday to a beach resort, the newlyweds were going to settle in their new home. As he was about to rise from bed, Gohan noticed his Dad sitting on the edge. His cheerful demeanor changed once again.

 “So, are you ready for this?”

 “To get married?” Gohan confirmed with a firm nod. “Yeah. I am.” He was certain of his decision thanks to that talk with his Dad. Gohan longed for more talks like that with his Dad but there never seem to be a moment where they could talk. The closest might’ve been last night when they came home together but he was buzzed and wouldn’t remember everything if he did talk. Today was probably a good time. “Dad… why did you ask if I’m ready for this?” His Dad looked at him questioningly. “I mean, you told me to propose to Videl. Why are you asking if I’m ready?”

 Once again, Dad was silent. He rubbed the back of his neck; a sign that Gohan knew signaled his Dad’s nerves and uncomfortableness of the topic.

 “I guess I thought I should. Your gramps asked me the same thing hours before I married ChiChi.”

 “Grandpa Gyumao?” Grandpa and Dad had a good relationship. It wasn’t perfect. The three years after Dad came back from Yardrat was the worse time between them. Grandpa wasn’t fond of Dad for his absence and what that did to Mom but since his return, their relationship was solid. Still, Gohan had to ask, “What did you tell him?”

 “I told him I wanted to marry ChiChi. Your Gramps said I didn’t have to go through with it, but I wanted to.”

 “Why?”

 Again, Dad shrugged. “I had an instinct. Me and ChiChi spent a few days before the wedding getting to know each other. I liked being around her. I knew if I had more time I’d fall in love and figure this marriage thing out.” With an awkward laugh, he confesses, “I kind of did.”

 “You did, Dad.” Gohan patted his Dad’s shoulder. “You did.”

 “Thanks.” There was something in Dad’s eyes that surprised Gohan. He seemed touched at Gohan’s assurance. “Your gramps told me I can always come to him for advice on marriage. I can’t can be as good as Gyumao but I’ll be here if you wanna talk.”

 Gohan knew the gossip of his parents’ marriage from his Dad’s friends, but unlike them, Gohan witnessed it with a front row seat. For his parents to go through all they did and still be together, Gohan knew his parents were the ultimate source of knowledge in making a marriage work. “Thanks, Dad. I will.”

 “I know ya have a busy life now. Ya got ya book stuff and your friends. Now ya gettin’ married and will have a kid one day. ChiChi told me even though ya gonna be next door, we can’t come over every day.”

 “Make sure you tell Goten that.”

 It was a joke. Gohan expected his Dad to laugh but he noticed sadness in Dad’s eyes. Wait. Is this really bothering Dad? I knew Mom would be sad but…..

 “Gonna be kind of weird to not see you at the table every night. Ya gonna be next door but we can’t hang out as much.”

 Wow. Dad…. I didn’t know.

 “Tell you what.” Gohan put his arm around his Dad. “Once a month, we’ll spar together. I shouldn’t get too rusty. We’ll meet at that river you brought me and Goten after you came back.”

 Gohan saw the smile return his Dad’s face, especially in his eyes. Those were fond memories he had with his brother and Dad after his return. For several days, the three fished, sparred and talked, forming a bond and memories they missed for seven years.

 “Well, if ya wanna,” Dad grinned. “I know ya don’t enjoy fighting like me.”

 “No,” Gohan agreed, “but I enjoy it with you.”

 ****

 “There. What do you think?”

 Videl was turned in the chair away from ChiChi to the mirror. “Wow.” Videl leaned forward in her chair awed. Despite Erasa’s advice, Videl allowed ChiChi to fix her makeup for the wedding. This was her future mother-in-law so Videl wanted to get along well with her. They have for years. Videl always considered ChiChi’s advice and suggestions but even Videl wasn’t sure about letting ChiChi do her makeup. She wore little herself. Even today, she kept her makeup simple but Videl was happy to be wrong as she was very impressed with the skill ChiChi used to paint her face.

 “It’s beautiful.” Videl turned her face left and right admiring the flawless foundation ChiChi put on her face and neck, the soft rose of blush on her cheeks, and perfection of the red shine on her lips. A tomboy herself and one who lost her mother at a young age, Videl wasn’t good with makeup but her future mother-in-law showed she had skills in that area.

 The two formed a strong bond over the years. Videl was initially intimated and frustrated with her but after getting to know her, Videl saw ChiChi as a second mother and one she wanted to fiercely protect. She had no idea the hardships ChiChi endured; how isolated she felt over the years by her husband’s friends and even Gohan when he was so young. The more she learned, the more protective Videl became of ChiChi and the stronger their bond became. She was like a mother to her and Videl hoped she was a like a daughter to her.

 “I know you had your doubts,” ChiChi grinned as Videl admired herself, “but I’m glad you approve.”

 “I do.” Her future mother-in-law continued to impress her with her hidden talents. In the mirror, Videl saw the clock on the wall behind her. “Oh, I better get in my dress. It’s almost time.” Videl rose from her seat. ChiChi carefully removed the dress from the mannequin as Videl removed her robe.

 Videl stepped in her dress with ChiChi helping her. They looked through many wedding books, went to many stores together before they found the perfect dress. Erasa complained a few times at ChiChi’s presence and advice but Videl appreciated it.

 The strapless wedding gown was perfect for her. It showed off the muscles on her arms and upper body, her slim waist, slight curve of her hips and even Videl had to admire how the dress hugged and elevated the appeal of her breasts.

 “This dress looks so gorgeous on you,” ChiChi zipped up the back. “I knew it. Each time you look more radiant. My son picked a winner in a wife.”

 “I’m the lucky one.” Videl fingered her diamond engagement ring.

 “You’re both lucky. You two found each other at the right time. Just like me and Goku.”

 The mentioned of her future father-in-law and her mother-in-law’s marriage had butterflies fluttering in her stomach. “I’m a little nervous. You and Goku are a tough act to follow.”

 ChiChi giggled amused as she smoothed down Videl’s dress. “We are? I didn’t think anyone would want to try to emulate our marriage.”

 With the hardships they had, Videl understood why. “What I mean is being married to a half Saiyan won’t be easy. I have a lot of food to prepare for every day. I cooked for Gohan a few times but I know it’s not enough.”

 “You’ll get there. I was pregnant with Gohan before I figured out how much I should cook for Goku and each time he left for periods of time, I had to relearn how much to cook for him.”

 “That’s another thing,” Videl continued worriedly. “What if Gohan has to leave me like Goku left you? Gohan won’t fight unless he has to but what if he dies in battle and I have to be away from him for years?” Videl’s voice wavered. She wasn’t going to cry and ruin the makeup ChiChi decorated her face with. “I’m not sure I can be as strong as you.”

 ChiChi put an arm around Videl. Future mother and daughter-in-law gazed at each other in the mirror. “I didn’t think I had this strength in me either. When Goku died and Gohan was taken from me, I couldn’t do anything. I was in bed for days. When Goku died at the Cell Games, I wanted to die. Even though I had Gohan, there were nights I wanted to die and be with Goku, but I couldn’t. Goku wouldn’t want me to give up like that. He’d want me to live. I found that inner strength just like you will if something should happen to Gohan.” Given the young bride a gentle squeeze, ChiChi told her, “Gohan won’t die like my Goku did and if he does, he’ll find a way back to you like my Goku came back to me, but if something should happen, like my Dad was there for me, your Dad and I will be there for you.”

 Videl squeezed ChiChi’s hand; happy for the advice and happy for the first time in years, she had a mother. “ChiChi…. thank you.”

 ****

 The weather was warm and bright when the ceremony started. The storms of last night were forgotten. Security was tight as it was big news Mr. Satan’s daughter was marrying her high school sweetheart. Some in the press thought the marriage was beneath Videl. She was the daughter of Mr. Satan, world savior, and she was marrying a poor country boy. Some thought the Son Family were gold diggers marrying into a rich and famous family like the Satans but as word traveled Videl was marrying the son of the previous champion of the Tenkaichi Budokai, many understood the match and approved.

 The children of the former and current world champion marrying. What a coup! Many were already speculating what children the union will bring and how for another generation the world will be protected and in good hands.

 Videl proudly walked on the arm of her father as the bridal march tune carried them down the aisle. Her eyes were straight ahead on the love of her life, Son Gohan.

 Gohan stood at the alter with slightly sweaty palms as he viewed Videl walking towards him.

 “Keep your eyes on Videl,” Gohan heard his father tell him. “You want to remember how pretty she looks today.”

 “Thanks, Dad,” Gohan whispered. “That’s good advice.” How did his Dad know to say that?

 “It’s not mine,” Dad said again. “A friend told me that when I got married.”

 Gohan followed his Dad’s advice, staring at Videl with their eyes on each other. She was very beautiful and his best friend. Videl understood him in a way Piccolo never did. Speaking of whom, his first teacher sat on the front row with his mother, brother and Grandpa Gyumao.

 As the bridal march concluded, Videl reached him at the altar. Like his Dad many years earlier, Gohan bowed to Mr. Satan. His future father-in-law bowed before him, took Videl’s hand and linked it with Gohan’s. The world champ had tears in his eyes as this traditional gesture meant the father was passing his daughter to her husband. He will be the one to care and protect his daughter now.

 Duty completed, Mr. Satan took the empty seat besides ChiChi.

 The priest opened the ceremony with a warm greeting and passage reading from the bible. He spoke of the importance of marriage, how he and Videl will lean on each other in bad and good times; how they will form everlasting memories and each trial will make the bond they form from this day forward stronger. Gohan felt his hand being squeezed. From the corner of his eye he could see Videl looking at him. She knew he knew the responsibilities sound like a lot but knew they will handle it together.

 The priest continued without a beat. “Let us proceed with the vows.”

 Videl handed her handed her bouquet to Erasa while Gohan turned to his father who held Videl’s wedding ring. They rehearsed this but the actual ceremony was making his palms sweat. Gohan nerves must’ve been obvious to his Dad who gave him a thumbs up as he handed Gohan the ring. The gesture from his Dad was a signal he got this but Gohan felt his stomach twisting in knots as he turned to Videl. It was instant but Videl’s smile dissolved his nerves. Funny, Gohan remembered Dad saying Mom’s smile had an effect him, too. Perhaps this is what he meant.

 Confidence rising, Gohan spoke his vows. **“This woman I marry. No matter what the health situation is, I will love this person, respect this person, console this person and help this person until death protecting fidelity I swear.”**

 Videl held back her tears. She would not ruin her makeup! She wanted to look perfect for Gohan today. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach as the spotlight was on her, and like her effect on Gohan, his smile eased her nerves as she repeated the vows and slipped Gohan’s ring on his finger. **“This man I marry. No matter what the health situation is, I will love this person, respect this person, console this person and help this person until death protecting fidelity I swear.”**

 The holy man smiled at the couple who only had eyes for each other. “By the power invested in me, in front of our wonderful family and friends, I now pronounce you as husband and wife. Son Gohan, you may kiss your bride.”

 Gohan raised Videl’s veil off her beautiful face. Her face was colored on her lips and cheeks. The fragrance she wore was soft but tantalizing. Videl always had a pretty face but something about her dress and her face made her the most beautiful woman he laid eyes on.

 With a gentle kiss, Gohan placed his soft lips over Videl’s. Much too short for his liking Gohan thought as he pulled away. He licked his lower lip loving the sweet taste of Videl. Later, he thought with a sly smile. Linking hands, Gohan and Videl faced their audience as the holy man announced, “Family, friends, I present you Son Gohan and Son Videl.”

 Applause and cheers rang from the audience. Gohan heard the loud cheers of his Dad ringing in his ears. He the happy smile on his mother’s face as her eyes brimmed with tears. His younger brother imitated his Dad as he stood in his seat clapping and cheering. Grandpa clapped as well. Piccolo gave him a nod and his father-in-law burst in tears, wailing at the loss of his daughter but the gaining of a son.

 Hand in hand Gohan and Videl walked down the aisle together as husband and wife with many of the guests showering them with flower petals and rice.  

 “So,” Gohan brought Videl’s hand to his lips. His hair was colored with petals of pink, lavender, white and red “we’re married now.”

 “Yes, Gohan,” Videl pulled Gohan’s arm, bringing him down to place another kiss on his lips, “We’re married.”

 **Actual vows used at a Westernized Japanese wedding.

     @musedbyalli​ i didnt realize the reply earlier was to the sc bc i was running on 20 hours of being awake and rage at vidya game

     BEING RETIRED HAD ITS PROS AND CONS.   One pro was being designated as the babysitter when everyone went on dangerous missions. He wanted kids but he had such bad luck with women that he had none of his own , so being the uncle of everyone’s kids was the next best thing.

     They weren’t his blood relatives , of course , but he loved all his little nieces and nephews dearly. After his years of fighting as a teenager , he realized he couldn’t keep up   ---   of course he still joined fights when they needed a strong ally but he resigned quietly to the babysitter when things didn’t seem like the world would end if they made a mistake.

     Though tonight , Marron’s parents were only on a date. For the fighters , it was a rare opportunity , and Yamcha was always happy to take little ones off their hands for a night or two. He loved the kids and it mde his home a little less quiet. 

     “ Alright twerp , ” he grins at the blondie playing in the floor. Says it lovingly , using his walking stick to help him off the couch. “ You ready for lunch ?? Or should we skip a healthy meal and have desert for lunch ?? Don’t tell your mom. ” he says with a conspiratorial wink , like this was some secret that would have to be taken to the grave.

Android 17/Lapis

I’m being completely honest when I say that I haven’t seen Dragon ball z in a good little minute

And that’s because I’m sick of every time Goku’s ass gets a new technique they shove that shit down our throats

It’s so fucking annoying but we not here to talk about that, we have gathered here today because Lapis needs more fucking recognition

And I’m not talking about the Lapis from Steven Universe

I’m talking about Android “If you fuck with my animals I’m caving yo chest in” 17

Bitch this is the ultimate form of disrespect

He’s really dodging that shit with his hands in his pocket

He’s not even trying that hard, like do y’all see his face

He has not a fuck to give

I wouldn’t even want to fight anymore after that

Like he honestly would’ve hurt my heart if he did that to me

Do you know how fucking salty Yamcha has to feel right now

Like they deadass picked a villain over you

And I’m not talking about some little villain that we only saw once

No they went to go get the head motherfucking villain of dragon ball z

I just wanna know how that conversation went

“Hey Goku I heard you guys have been having problems with the tournament of power, how about I jump in and show em my wolf fang fist”

I bet Vegeta’s ass was dying laughing cause you just know he wanted to be the one to tell him and he wasn’t going to be nice about it

I can just hear him talking cash shit

“My nigga what made you think we’ll ask you bitch ass for help? Yo ass is known for dying as soon as you step on the battlefield.”

“Everybody else catching fades on sight and then here comes yo ass about to get tossed up. Hell nawl yo bitch ass can’t come and if I see you around Bulma Imma knock yo damn head off yo shoulders.”

Then you know Goku gotta be the damn peace maker but he just ends up making the shit worse

“ Nawl that’s ok Yamcha we have Frieza and Krillian. And I’m on my way to get Lapis and Tien. The way things are going I might have to make Goten fight.

Like Yamcha is the crackhead uncle of the family cause nobody want his ass around

And Frieza wasn’t even the only villain, the rest were just ex villains

Like bitch when was the last time we saw this nigga fight

The fucking producers of Dragon Ball Super gone have to see me

Cause bitch this is what happens when you make a character too damn strong

I’m so sick of seeing Jirens big bald head ass

I see this nigga more than I see my damn dad

But this shit then stretched on to damn far

Y’all motherfuckers really took my baby out

All he wanted to do was live in peace with his animals

But here come Goku writing a check his ass can’t fucking cash

When I was younger he use to be my favorite but as I got older I’m starting to see that this nigga is hella dirty

I remember when this nigga gave Cell a senzu bean just so he could beat Gohan’s ass

His ass is always running around trying to bang now this nigga got the whole universe in Jeopardy

Put me down as a super villain’s whore

Cause this nigga right bitch, this nigga had me salivating at the mouth

I was all here for somebody to get they ass beat by him

Bitch this nigga is a whole meal fuck a snack

I’m ready for him to ruin my life and my insides

And how the fuck did he get his hair to do that

That ain’t no normal shit

How you go from a silk press with a part down the middle to a damn slick back with four pieces hanging out

And where he get that outfit cause bitch I might be able to rock that shit

I’m hella pissed that he had to sacrifice himself for nothing

Like Jirens bitch ass is still alive after all that

So please tell me what the point was

Cause if y’all wanna kill somebody for fun y’all can start with Yamchas ass

Like bitch how y’all gone show him giving Goku the fucking business and then y’all kill him

Like him and his sister was passing out two pieces and a biscuit to everybody who had a problem

And then here come Jiren with his tragic ass backstory fucking shit up

They really took my man to soon

I just hope they bring him back, cause with the way I’m feeling I’ll sacrifice Master Roshi’s nasty ass for him

Hell Goku can get sacrificed too that nigga ain’t exempt

They could have just left him to take care of his animals and live his life

Like my dude was just coolin until Goku ass brought that negativity in his life

If y’all got a friend like Goku you better distance yo self

Cause they the type of niggas that’ll see you get jumped and help the niggas that’s jumping you

And after they done beating yo ass they’ll say some shit like “This is only going to make you stronger”

Oh yea imma be real strong cause this uppercut to yo nuts as I’m coming up gone kill all yo damn swimmers

Yo ass ain’t gone have to worry about wearing a condom for as long as you live. Believe that

Just thinking about that shit made my pimp hand itch

So in conclusion if y’all have a friend like Goku, you better drop they ass before they drop you in a grave

And if you are the Goku friend, stop talking shit if you don’t got the hands to match

Cause I love all of you with my heart but if you think I’m about to square up with a motherfucker with no family you got another thing coming

Cause them bastards hands are legendary and that’s cause they don’t got shit to lose

If they die they don’t got nobody to mourn them

So every fight they going into it like it’s they last time living

And I’m sorry I was raised by two mothers and three fathers so I’m definitely losing that damn fight

Like bitch I got to much to live for

I’m trying to see if I can bag me a good white boy, I don’t got time to be dying

I gotta get my credit back right

How the hell I got a water bill and a cable bill in my name from 2001

Bitch I wasn’t even able to bathe myself let alone own a fucking credit card

My man deserved better than this

I’m still trying to figure out the purpose for his death

It bet not be no damn rage fuel for Goku

But then again I wouldn’t know considering I stopped watching after he died

All I know is they better bring him back hell

Or it’s gone be some furniture moving going on and I’m not talking about the good kind

That’s how I feel about my baby Android 17, bit like I said I haven’t watched Dragon ball z since so I hope they bring him back

Also another note I wanna throw out there I said I had two mothers and three fathers because one mother is a step and two of the fathers are steps so yea

It’s also 11:02 pm so if there are any mistakes in this it’s because I’m tired as hell, but they will be changed in the morning
