#goku gets a lot of credit for geets growth but he was an anchor and a goal post -- which are important things to have!!

[shannonsketches]

thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated

the difference in their reactions to each other 😭

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

Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them

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

#goku gets a lot of credit for geets growth but he was an anchor and a goal post -- which are important things to have!! #but lbffr gohan trunks and bulma are the ones who did ALL the heavy lifting and ALL the emotional labor until Vegeta could do it himself #'but goku was a great influence!' sure. but not as great an influence as gohan. Goku's a sweetheart but he's inconsiderate in so many ways #Gohan was the example. Gohan mentored the Trunks that shifted Vegeta's priorities. Gohan saved Vegeta's life without hesitation. #Gohan is the first person to genuinely say 'thank you' to Vegeta and Gohan is the first person that Vegeta genuinely says 'i'm sorry' to #Give Gohan his Goddamn Credit when we talk about the people responsible for Vegeta's growth!! He did SO MUCH!!

#and yes you can absolutely pry the headcanon that there was bonding in the seven years gap FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS

#vegeta definitely looked after the half saiyans #reluctantly #secretly

#that actually puts into perspective that one scene on namek #the one where he puts his hand on Gohan's head #he's seen the potential in gohan as both an adversary and an ally since the beginning #he noticed how much they had in common as child soldiers/prodigies
