I refuse to believe Bulma would not be giddy about seeing Vegeta as a kid. She would go into fangirl mode because her hunky badman hubby was a tiny stray kitten crossed with an angry gnome.

peering over at the boy , bulma couldnt help , but question where he had come from . it was insane how much could happen in a spam of a few hours . it had been the young lady outside , watching the stars for tonight – — she had heard of the meteor shower happening , and there was no way she was going to miss it !
as she was setting things up , a blanket , telescope , && a drink with snacks to keep her satisfied . it was like the wildest thing happening now . the meteor shower has happening , watching in awe when she couldnt help but stare at one heading closer and closer right above her head . a crash sound as she glanced behind her towards the forest .
once in a life time to see a meteor up close !
luckily for her it wasnt too for on her mobile as she headed that way , knowing that no one else would even show up around here . as she made it to the crash site it was . . . odd . it was a round white object in the crash site . it was so sci-fi levels up . knocking on it she watched as she peaked inside it && what do you know ! there was a little boy in there !
❝ oh come on ! please open up ! stupid thing – — ! ! ! ❞ she grunted out as she tried to open the strange object . it was a hard as a rock ! shes just a young lady ! she didnt have that kind of strength at all ! sheer luck on her end it F I N A L L Y opened up .
Tumblr media
being gentle with the young boy she picked him up . what a weird outfit he was sporting wasnt he ? nothing seemed to be wrong with him . . . maybe the crash was too much too handle ? unsure at the moment , bulma took him back with her to her little set up not too far from here . setting him down as she looked at him .
❝ hello ? hey kid are you okay ? you been out for some time now ! ❞ she spoke as she tried to shake him awake . seriously did he have a head concussion or something he SEEMED fine to her . . .

☆ anonymous ☆ — Does Chi-Chi know Goku is cheating on her with Vegeta
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"What?! And he didn't think to share Vegeta with me? Rude."
Tumblr media
"Joking aside, the fact you think Goku would cheat on me with someone else just goes to show how LITTLE you know my husband or even respect him. He is loyal to a fault and he would never do something like that."
The woman's hands settling on her hips as she glared daggers at the other in question. How DARE they insult her husband like that? Goku was not at all like that and it was disrespectful and horrible they even suggested it about him. Resisting the urge to get physical with them — even if that frying pan was looking very tempting to smack them upside the head with.
"Now, I must politely ask you to leave so get the HELL off my property this instant and leave my family the HELL alone or else."

brolys concept of love is .. skewed.
he only knows his father, cheelai, and leemo. but he does think he loved his father before he perished at the hands of frieza, but he does still love him.
even if he finally comes to terms that paragus didnt properly raise him as a son, he loved him. thats all he had when he was banished to vampa.
but with you? its… frustrating, it feels foreign.
he knows he likes giving you things that look pretty, or just cute. hes given you rocks, because he thinks that they have their own beauty within them. how did he come up with this? well, he inspected it at first, it was just some brown rock that was rough and dry on the outside. but, he breaks it, seeing the new shiny and crystalized structure inside.
and he gives that to you.
he also doesnt like vegeta or beerus around you. it makes his chest tight, like a sense of protection should be around you. but, you always assure him that youre okay, like he wants you to be.
and dont get me started on the fact he wanders when he looks for you. yall ever seen a corso or doggo argentino just wander? and its a whiny thing? thats him. he checks each room and when he doesnt find you, he gets nervous.
because what if you had left? where did you go? it takes a toll on him, because you were really all he trusted. cheelai and leemo were there, sure. but you were just… different from them. he panics, almost losing himself and having to have goku or vegeta calm him and guide him to you is a concurrent thing.
he also needs your comfort at night.
the first nightmare of you was you leaving, never leaving a trace.. or your death. it freaks him out, because he remembers paragus’ death, and he blamed himself when he was told. it took months for you to finally tell him that it wasnt his fault, it couldnt have been.
and hes up like a light, doing the deep breathing exercises that you taught him and clutching ba’s ear.
his feet pad against the floor, eyes filled with grogginess and find your sleeping frame in your own bed. he lightly taps you, you moaning and turning to him. “hello.”
“what is it, baby?” you say, a smaller voice yet stronger southern accent comforting him. “had a nightmare?”
he nods, a pout in his face and he’s trying his best to not tear up.
“c’mere..” you say, scooting to the side of your bed and watching him crawl into it. it was slightly amusing, a big saiyan crawling into a small bed. “you wanna talk about it?”
“no, i dont.” he says, facing you and watching your frame. “am i allowed to.. touch you?” he asks cautiously, big hand on your shoulder.
you looked beautiful, even in the darkness of the day.
you nod, getting closer to him and radiating your heat to him. and he feels safer, like he knows youre not going anywhere and that he wont have to grieve you, either.
he knew that he was in love with you when you watched him finally go super saiyan, and you cheered in joy. he feels himself get giddy, his chest tighter, and he wants to cry from feeling joy.
he just couldnt tell you yet.

Dragon Ball Z X Hello Kitty Girl!Reader
A/N: I’ve had two special interests my entire life. Hello Kitty and Pokemon. Drop a W in the chat if you want a DBZ X Pika Girl!Reader.
A/N: LET’S GO I AM WRITING AGAIN TIME TO PUT THIS SHIT TO WORK!!! It’s short though, because I need to publish something even if it’s just a little quick blorp.
🎀🎀🎀
Vegeta:
Tumblr media
- What is a Hello Kitty.
- Oh God. What are you. Why are you so repulsively kind and bubbly. Stop that. Wait. Don’t be kind and bubbly towards that other person, what are you doing- come back!
- He’s so intrigued, he often finds excuses to be around you and when confronted about it, he says that you must be another species or something.
- If you give him something with Hello Kitty on it to wear, he will cuss the living soul out of you… and then go put it on. He will spend the whole time grumbling and embarrassed if somebody asks about it.
- If you collect stuffed animals, he’s definitely punching them when you’re not around. Every single one gets a fist to the face as a reminder of who’s on top of the chain of command in your heart.
Piccolo:
Tumblr media
- You’re so incredibly strange and… very cute?
- Ugh, Piccolo is a softie for a softie. SFS Relationship, if you will. He is almost uncomfortable with the amount of tenderness you show him. Gentle touches, acts of service, and words of affirmation: they’re all so alien to him.
- Tell him your favorite Sanrio character, he’ll get everything he can for you. He will literally search to the ends of the Earth to get you rare merchandise.
- PLEASE give him a keychain to keep with him or a hat to wear or a shirt or SOMETHING because he will wear it. No shame. His face definitely gets blushy and embarrassed, but he refuses to feel shame.
🎀🎀🎀
Hi! Did you like this? If so, please check out my other works! Thank you and have a beautiful day! 🩷

Gohan softened him up, but Pan just melted him. This chump thought he had figured out the whole master-pupil relationship thing, but he utterly failed to account for the simple fact that little girls are a whole different ball game. He is putty in her hands.

Alright friends, for my birthday I'm going to let you decide what my next project is. I am, of course, working on Kame Club and also the Ludicrously Self Indulgent Project (plus that Hanvi one-shot that's been simmering in the background), but once I've updated Kame Club I'm sure I'll need a new project to set my sights on. You get to help me pick!
You can absolutely write in suggestions and I'll take them under advisement. Thanks!

Every time I see a purring Saiyans headcanon I am once again tempted to use purring for angst lol. Actual cats don’t only purr when they’re happy, sometimes they will purr to self soothe if they’re very stressed or injured or sick. It lends itself nicely to a fic where Vegeta tries to hide that he’s injured and gets outted by purring (or, for bonus angst, it is not interpreted correctly and it’s assumed that he’s happy, same as people don’t realize cats do it when in distress). Or just putting it in a sad and angsty moment, as involuntary self-expression of a need for comfort, almost as bad as crying. Like, I understand why the purring thing gets used for like every nonhuman species ever because it is cute, but it has hidden evil potential and I’m still not bold enough to write any actual angst yet so I’m putting the idea out there in the meantime lol

actually because of ame's sort of graduation from hololive I ended up getting YEWCHUBE Epic Algorithmed (tm) and got shown fifty billion vtuber vids of what theyre up to and.
theyre all playing dbz kakarot and living through the greatest hits. i can buy that many of them might be exaggerating but its still so funny to see all of the bugs near unanimously agree that vegeta is a wifeguy and a cute tsundere

Do you think that you could write a Trunks x Male Reader?
Well to be honest, Trunks is 1 of the characters I have in mind about, so I will definitely give writing the Trunks x Male Reader a shot😃👍
*I wasn't sure which image Trunks to pick out, so since I'm more familiar with Dragon Ball Z than I am with Dragon Ball Super, I picked out this image of Trunks😅
Tumblr media
🗡️🍜His First Date With You🍜🗡️((Adult) Trunks x Male Reader)
Genres: Romantic Light Hearted Fluff
Trunks had a crush on you since college, however after the both of you graduated college together, one day you asked him out on a date, which he was surprised and excited about, so ofcourse he's going to tell you, "yes". He then asked, "Where would you like me to take you on a "first date", (Male Reader Name)?". You then happily, answered, "It's up to you, Trunks. I'm not picky on where eat honestly.".
After Trunks got home, he decided to dress up in a suit and tie. However, before he could even try to pick out a suit and tie, he got caught by someone who ended up peeping in his home accidently. It was non other than his father, Vegeta. His father then asked, "What do you think you're doing, trying to throw all of your clothes all over your room? Did I teach you to keep your room spotless? What's going on with you right now, Trunks?".
Trunks then told Vegeta, as he answered, "Well dad, there was this person I had a crush on since college, however after we graduated college together, my crush saw me walking in the park to ask me out on a date, so ofcourse I was going to say, yes. I tried asking him where he wants to eat, however he wants me to pick a place to eat and that he said he's not picky. The only problem is that I want to pick out a fancy restaurant for our "first date".". He then paused for a second before continued by asking, "What restaurant should I pick, dad?". Vegeta was puzzled by Trunks' question, as he then replied, "What? You're joking me? Why are you wanting to take your crush to a fancy restaurant on a first date for? When your mom and I started dating, I took her to our own version of McDonald's or even some cheap ramen places my first few dates with your mom! I haven't took her to anywhere fancy and expensive for our dates until after you were born...", as he then looked down at his shoes rubbing the back of his head. Trunks then replied back, "Understood dad...".
Later on that night, Trunks decided to take you to an expensive ramen place for his first date with you. This was your first time you got to eat ramen or anywheres expensive. You were looking at the menu, especially pertaining the prices. He notices you were looking at the prices, as he then happily, said, "Don't worry about the prices, (Male Reader Name). Just order what you want. I will pay for it.", giving you the thumbs up. You took his word for it, as you then ordered the ramen and what you wanted in your ramen.
Once the both of you got the ramen the both of you ordered, you asked, "So Trunks, what had you decide on taking me to yhe expensive ramen place, if you don't mind me asking?". Trunk then answered, "Well I wanted to take you to a nice place for our first date and I think my parents were rich... Even after I was born... And they still are... Anyways nevermind about my parents being rich... I take it, it's your first time in an expensive restaurant?". You replied back, "To be honest, not just an expensive restaurant, however it's also my first time in a ramen place, Trunks... I appreciate it... I just was wasn't expecting you to do that for me... I honestly found you cute... Which is why I asked you out and told you I'm not picky on where we eat... I was pretty much used to eating our version of McDonald's or eating at home, growing up... So, regardless where you take me on a date I still appreciate it...". Trunks had to think about what you and what his dad, Vegeta said earlier, then he replied again, "Well, I'm glad you liked it and would have been happy no matter which places I pick out for our dates, (Male Reader Name)... Maybe next time I will let you pick a place out for a next date, if that's alright with you.", as he smiled at you. You then said, "Sounds good to me, then. I would be more than happy to.".
Eversince that night of your first date with Trunks, the both you decided to start the relationship together. You knew you made the right decision to ask him out from this moment on. Trunks also knew he made the right choice on telling you, "yes", in the first place.
The End
Okay my Tumblr Peeps. I hope you like this Trunks fanfic I have written about😃👍I hope the tag is alright with you @helikal 😅Anyways I had fun writing this fanfic with Trunks in it and I hope you had fun reading this Trunks fanfic, as well😁👍

Daima 2: Glorio
Tumblr media
About a third of this episode is dedicated to having the main characters react to the whole "turned into babies" thing. This is probably a good call, since the show was promoted on this gimmick, and it's worth showing off. Everyone looks super cute, and anyone who had facial hair becomes almost unrecognizable.
It feels like a bit of waste of time, but only because the "turned into babies" thing was all we knew about the show for the year or so before it premiered, so for me this feels like we're belaboring the obvious. Yeah, yeah, we know they're babies, we've been talking about it for months. But the show has to have the moment. This is why I don't get too invested into trailers and teaser trailers and analyses of trailers, and leaks and "Everything you NEED to know about..." videos. If you spend too much time dwelling on a future release, you'll lose out on the spontaneity when it finally comes out.
It's probably worth talking about who hasn't gotten turned into babies. Well, I should clarify that. I like calling them all babies because I think it's cute and funny, but most of the affected characters are more like seven-year-olds. Anyone who was already a child is turned into a literal baby, like Goten and Trunks. Also Dende, even though he's at least thirteen by now.
Tumblr media
Specifically, Gomah's wish applied to the ones who defeated Buu and "all of their friends." So Master Roshi got turned into a kid, but not the waitstaff at Trunks' 9th birthday party. Ox King got turned into a kid, even though he never actually fought Majin Buu. Basically, if you can be considered part of Dragon Team, you got turned into a kid.
But Korin and the Turtle seem to be unaffected. Maybe they did get turned into children, and they just don't look any different. Or maybe the rest of Dragon Team secretly hates those guys, and so they don't fall into the "friends" category of the wish. Man, that's the sort of thing that would keep me up at night. Imagine your whole friends circle gets turned into babies, except you. There's really only one explanation for that, but you can't exactly say anything, because that'd just make it worse.
Oh, what am I worried about? Everyone likes me! I mean, everyone likes Korin and the Turtle. Yes, that is what I meant to say. Heh-heh...
Anyway, as for King Gomah, he had planned on making two more wishes, but Shenron clocks out early. Gomah's like "What the hell, man?" and Shenron tells him that the second and third wishes are for regular customers. First timers only get one wish and they just have to like it. Wait, so when he offered more wishes for Sorbet in Resurrection F, was that because Pilaf was with him? Fascinating.
Gomah's pissed because this means he can't get the Evil Third Eye, but Degesu is satisfied that they accomplished what they came here to do. Remember, Degesu didn't see the Earth as a threat in the first place. Dr. Arinsu planted the idea in Gomah's head, and Degesu was willing to go along with it, but he's probably just relieved they pulled this off without anything going wrong.
Tumblr media
But why not just have Neva do the same trick he used to summon Shenron in the first place? Normally, you have to wait a year to use the Dragon Balls again, but Neva's ancient Namek power allowed him to collect and reactivate the Dragon Balls immediately. So in theory he could just do that over and over again and Gomah can have unlimited wishes? Well, no, Neva says "Even I can't do that twice in a row," so I'm glad we got a limit on that ability. That's the lesson there. You can invent a bullshit rule-breaking power, but it needs to have it's own limits and rules in order to keep it from being abused. Kryptonite will neutralize Superman, but it's not like you can just run to the drugstore and buy a bunch of kryptonite.
The Supreme Kai, Kibito, Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo all go to the Lookout to find out what happened, and Mr. Popo fills them in. The Supreme Kai realizes that it must have been his brother Degesu, and Piccolo recognizes the name "Neva" from Namekian history. He was the "Legendary Namek" who stayed behind in the Demon Realm after all the others left for the outside universe. He stayed to guard the Demon Realm's Dragon Balls, but it's not clear what he's protecting them from. If he didn't want the Demons making wishes, then why did he help Gomah use the Earth's Dragon Balls today? Curious.
Tumblr media
Also, before Gomah's group left, he decided to take baby Dende along as a hostage. Also, as the keeper of the Earth's Dragon Balls, they believe holding Dende will make the Earth's Dragon Balls useless. I get why they'd want to do that, but I'm not sure I understand how physically removing Dende affects the Dragon Balls. When Guru was teleported from Namek to Earth, the Namekian Dragon Balls followed him there. So maybe it's like that? Or does the barrier between the Demon Realm and Earth make it so it seems like Dende is dead? The Dragon Balls become inert just like they would if Dende had died. Anyway, Neva seems to think this would go as Gomah expects, so they kidnapped baby Dende.
Tumblr media
And Goku wants to go to Demon Realm and get him back. There you go, that's the good guys' motivation, right there. This was the problem GT had when it turned Goku into a child. It was basically an accident, so there was no enemy to fight in that situation, and Goku basically didn't care. It doesn't seem like Daima Goku is too worried about being a child either, and that's fine. Goku's a pretty laid back guy with this sort of thing. But if turning him into a child doesn't provoke some sort of response, then why do it at all?
Here the conflict is much more focused. Gomah went out of his way to turn Goku into a child because he saw him as a potential threat. And it seems that he kidnapped Dende to ensure that Goku couldn't simply undo the wish next year. So even if Goku doesn't mind being a child, he'd still want to go after Gomah, if only to rescue Dende and get to the bottom of this. It also helps that we have characters like Vegeta included in the whole babies wish, so even if Goku doesn't mind being a child, Vegeta is still highly motivated to undo the wish.
Tumblr media
But more importantly, by doing all of this, Gomah seems to have provoked the very response that he was trying to avoid. Degesu thought there was no reason for the Earthlings to come to the Demon Realm, and now Gomah has given them a reason. He probably doesn't think that Goku's group is capable of putting up much of a fight in this state, but they already beat Majin Buu, so underestimating them seems like a bad idea.
Rememer, Dr. Arinsu was the one who planted the seeds for this whole conflict. If she hadn't said anything, Gomah never would have gone to Earth. So was this what she wanted to happen? Maybe she was trying to set off a conflict, and then Gomah would have to keep funding her research to improve his defenses. Or maybe Arinsu was counting on Goku to eliminate Gomah, so that another king would take over and give Arinsu the funding that Gomah would not.
And I don't want to spend a lot of time bashing GT with this (I already did that last year). You can kick off a story with an accident like Pilaf's thoughtless wish, and then establish a plot device that will destroy the world like the Black Star Dragon Balls. That's valid, but it's so much better when there's an antagonist in back of the problem, someone you can chase or fight or argue with over tea.
Tumblr media
All right, so how do they get to the Demon Realm? According to Kibito, travel to and from has been heavily restricted for a long, long time. It's not clear who imposed the restrictions, or who Gomah had to make arrangements with for his own trip, but it's not as simple as teleporting or taking a spaceship. The Supreme Kai has an idea, and he sends Kibito to fetch the spaceship he used when he first came to this universe. He doesn't say where he came from, though. I'm guessing he and the other Kais all live in some other realm and he had to come here when he got the Kaioshin position in Universe 7. But maybe he was born in the Demon Realm, and he used this ship to leave? In any case, he believes this vessel will take them to the Demon Realm, except it's old and busted.
But that's okay, because we have Bulma to fix it. She takes a look under the hood and estimates it'll be a ten day job. So the principal cast is starting to take shape here. Goku is obvious, and the Supreme Kai has family on the bad guy side, so he has a clear stake in this. Piccolo is in because of the Namekian connection, and Vegeta wants revenge for getting turned into a baby. And we gotta have Bulma because she's the tech gal. I'm not clear on whether Kibito will tag along, but we don't see much of him in the closing credits, so I'm guessing he rides the pine for most of this story.
And this is great. One thing that always bugged me about Dragon Ball Super was how they kept loading way too many characters into every episode. They'd be fighting Frieza and Master Roshi has to be there. They're fighting Universe 6's team and we gotta check in with Jaco to see what he thinks about it all. They're getting ready to help save Future Trunks' world, but let's check in on Emperor Pilaf and see what he has to say about all this. Every time someone threw a punch in the Tournament of Power, the show would suddenly cut to the bleachers so Whis could explain why punches hurt.
Tumblr media
I've been trying to find a way to describe the pacing in Daima, and it feels kind of relaxed and leisurely, but at the same time, it's not padded out the way the previous anime series were. Before, Toei would often set up B-plots and side conversations to fill time, and that's not really happening here. The cast is pretty small, and we're filling the time with exposition and just sort of letting the moments breathe. Goku goes on a little side-quest to get his Nyoi'bo, and they probably could have tightened it up, or skipped it altogether, but it's just this quiet little errand, and the show lets you drink in the ambiance.
Tumblr media
Look at these li'l guys eating their li'l guy dinner with their mini-sized soda cans. It's great.
However, their dinner is interrupted by the sudden arrival of another Demon Realm ship like the one King Gomah used. This time, however, it's a whole other guy named Glorio, whom we saw spying on Gomah in Episode 1. He says he was tasked with recruiting Goku to defeat King Gomah in the Demon Realm. Goku's always ready to rock, but the Supreme Kai wants to know how Glorio has even heard of Goku. Glorio claims he learned about Goku from the King of the Third Demon Realm, who watched video of the Buu Saga just like Gomah. That... seems a bit curious. Later it'll become clear that the Demon Realm is divided into three worlds, so I guess it makes sense that each one has a king, and Gomah rules over them all. So the Third King might not be too happy about Gomah's reign.
Tumblr media
But Glorio was also there when Gomah watched his own video of the Buu Saga. So it's almost like he's telling a half-truth. Glorio also says he was ordered by the Third King to come here, but when the Supreme Kai asks if he works for the Third King, Glorio says that he doesn't. The request was sent to him in secret. Well, what does that mean?
I'm guessing that Glorio's not telling the gang the whole story, or he may not be fully aware of it himself. For all we know, someone like Dr. Arinsu might have sent him the request and made it look like it was the Third King who submitted it. Whatever the case, the Supreme Kai decides to go with them, partly because his brother is involved with Gomah, and partly because he's suspicious of Glorio. He shouldn't have known about them being turned into children, but he wasn't surprised to see them in this state. To be fair to Glorio, nothing seems to really get much of a reaction out of him. He's a very low-key kind of guy.
Bulma asks to study his spaceship before they go, so she can use it as a reference for her work on the Kai's ship. Glorio insists that his vessel is a "plane", so I don't know if that's the correct term for it or if he's just a contrarian. I mean, it does more than fly in space, but it does fly in space so come on. Vegeta wants to go along, but the plane only has room for three. So Vegeta will have to wait for Bulma to finish repairing the other ship and then they can follow Glorio's group into the Demon Realm later.
I like this set up a lot. I think GT had a promising set up with a trio of main characters. Again, there's a lot to be said for focusing on a small cast instead of dumping in dozens of side characters who have to compete for screen time. But GT ran into issues pretty early on, and maybe it would have been helpful to have a second trio operating independently of the first. That way if the writers got stuck, they could switch to the second group, or have them link up later on.
I don't know if this would have done GT a lot of good, but it definitely seems like a smart strategy for Daima. This way we can focus on three characters, but there's still the promise that we'll get to see more of Vegeta, Piccolo, and Bulma later. If all six of them had gone together, it would have gotten dull, because at least two of them wouldn't have had much to do. This way we have something to look forward to.
