#and then she opened her mouth and Nagging Wife Cliche poured out lol

can i just say i really wish that chi-chi was written better

part of the reason i write fics with her so much is that i LOVE the CONCEPT of her character. but every other time she comes on page/screen we seem determined to make her look bad

she's a martial artist princess who wants to step down from royalty to be a housewife. that's interesting! why does she want to trade that position with a high level of privilege and responsibility for a humbler existence living out in the woods with her hillbilly alien husband? why did she romanticize him so much as a kid that she waited around so long for him to marry her once they were older?

that's not even getting into all of the stuff related to her suffering the loss of her husband and child then later being a single parent

but toriyama went on record saying he hated her so like. yeah any interesting ideas related to cheech that came from him were incidental. she is CONSISTENTLY written as more level-headed and reasonable in the hands of film/filler episode writers even when maintaining her temper so take from that what you will

anyway love you chi-chi definitely basing an original character off of you for my original fiction at some point, you deserved better
