The sun was high over West City, casting a golden glow over the bustling streets filled with people from all walks of life. The annual Harvest Festival was in full swing, a grand celebration where farmers from across the region showcased their finest crops. Colorful stalls lined the streets, each one overflowing with the bounty of the season—pumpkins, apples, corn, and countless other fruits and vegetables.

Among the crowd, a young farmer made her way toward the heart of the festival. She hadn't entered any of her crops into the competition, but she had a variety of fresh produce to sell to the eager customers swarming the marketplace. Her stand was simple but inviting, with neatly arranged baskets of ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and vibrant carrots. It would be her last sales of the year before taking a long winter break

Honeydew smiled warmly at the passersby, her Southern accent drawing them in as she called out, "Fresh produce here! Get your farm-fresh veggies! Ya ain't gonna find any better than the quality grown in Misty farm!" Business was brisk, and she found herself enjoying the lively atmosphere of the festival. It was nice to be away from all that strenuous training, if only for a day or two. Hopefully, Cell wasn't... Terribly bored without her.

As the hours passed, the farmer began to hear whispers and excited chatter among the festival-goers. Everyone seemed to be talking about one person in particular—Goku, the legendary martial artist who had won countless ribbons at the festival over the years. His presence always drew a crowd as people called out to him to spill his secrets, and to buy off his winning crop of the season.

Curious, she decided to take a break from her stand and see what all the fuss was about. She wandered through the festival until she spotted a large crowd gathered around a particularly impressive display of crops. And there, at the center of it all, was the legend himself, smiling and chatting with admirers.

With a determined look, Honeydew wadded through the throng of people until she stood before Goku. If anyone was going to learn a thing or two off the best, she might as well introduce herself first. She took a deep breath, adjusted her long red locks, and greeted him with a cheerful,

"Howdy!... I take it yer mister popular among the locals here, huh?"

Goku will lift him and put him in timeout

"DAMN IT! LET GO OF ME KAKAROT!" there is so much thrashing around as he tries to wriggle out of the other saiyans hold

" Heh....don't say that around Vegeta, huh? He might lose it. "

She laughed softly and tilted her head to the side a bit, curiosity peaked. " You built your own house though? Can I see it? "

He's abducting trunks for boop chaos.

He felt himself scooped onto the man’s shoulders FAR too easily. But this was Goku after all, strongest man in the universe probably but what came out of his mouth had gotten Trunks to shiver.  ❝   𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚.    ❞  He utters with fear in his heart. “Lord Beerus already threatened me once..I know he looks like one but he’s not exactly the nicest kitty in the litter.”

5) dash commentary

It's great! Often a fun way for people to acknowledge their mutuals' posts, IC or OOC! It can also help to really promote the feel of this place being an rp community. No one has to put themselves out there to make friends or whatevs, but still, interacting with your writing partners outside of just threads can go for miles. I will say that dash comm can kind of be a slippery slope though.

Sometimes, open commentary on something that's more so happening in private - so no one else outside of the characters in the thread should be aware of it - can make things very awkward, but that's where communication comes in. You can ask all parties involved if it's ok to make commentary, or you can just comment on it in private to them! Can't speak for others, but I personally would love to hear how entertaining what I'm doing with someone else is.

Lastly. When it comes to dash comm posts that are tagged as crack (so they're not to be taken seriously), I've noticed that people tend to...ignore that? And treat the post as if the character is being serious. That can put the other person in a weird spot. I've gotten into some "didn't need/want this but ok" situations in the past because of it. So folks, if something is tagged as crack or a similar tag, you shouldn't make a big ol' fuss about it.

10) anons

Definitely a feature that should be used, especially if you're the type that's too shy to send something with your blog's handle attached. Unfortunately, tons of losers take advantage of the anonymity to harass others / send hate. With that in mind, I feel everyone should remember that anon asks are a privilege and NOT a right. If you need to turn it off for your peace of mind, absolutely do it. The shy people will have to just step outside of their shell, send you things in IMs, or not send anything at all. They'll adapt.

I'm aware that someone who's committed can create burner accounts, but you can always block them. If they make a new one, block that too. To me, blocking burners is a small price to pay for not letting hatred flood your inbox.

Speaking of anon hate, I'll take this opportunity to drop a warning: there's an infamous troll / harasser most widely known as "phoenixissims" (that's the last blog they sat on for a long period) going around the DB RPC yet again. This post here & the linked google doc in it talk about this person extensively, but in general: if you get any weird anon asks that bring up Beerus, Vegeta, or come off as salty about the interactions you've been having with others (esp blogs who rp those characters), just delete them all and don't engage.

"Excuse me, sir!" An odd voice called out to the Saiyan from behind, which upon turning to face it would seen to have come from a... mummy? It sure looked like it, tall and lanky form covered in bandages as it casually looked over him.

Would hardly be the strangest thing he would've seen, though it probably would've been pretty strange to see just out and about. Holding what looked like... a basket of vegetables?

"I apprehended a few rapscallions who'd lifted some of the produce from your vehicle. Seemed it was to sell." A fabric 'thumb' gestures behind him, where sure enough, there were some guys in the distance tied up in fabric, already attended to by an officer.

"I figured you'd want these back. They're clearly popular!"

❝ oh my curious now aren't you ? maybe i was joking – — or perhaps i was serious ? ❞ whis spoke as he walked over to goku — staring off into the distance as he gave himself some thought . did he have the means to be that of a god of destruction ? perhaps . yes , perhaps. at first it was , but a mere joke , a jest to get under lord beerus skin — after all with the sleeping that he does at time would be justified . plainly speaking what was gokus end goal in it ?

growing stronger & stronger is an admirable feat , truly it is — but very wasted potential as well when you think about it . ❝ tell me , son goku , what is it in life you wish to see ? the means you grow stronger & stronger ? lord beerus is not leaving anytime soon , but that doesnt mean when the time comes for his lord to step down & someone new to take over we would need someone . merely speaking why not see the means if a mortal has what it takes to do that what a god can do , no ? ❞

whis smiled to himself at a time far back then . waving his staff to show goku the universe vastly around them . ❝ tell me . what would you have to offer for the universe ? would you take up . . . perhaps a little test run ? im sure lord beerus himself wouldnt mind at all if we test you out on such things . & please remember goku , if lord beerus dies then the supreme kai would die as well . a ying and yang . the balance between . ❞

[ SHOW ]  for sender to purposefully reveal their scars for receiver to see 

-- Context being that maybe Goku is trying to show Trunks how important it is to trust your gut instinct. Perhaps showing him the large ragged scar running down his shoulder when he ignored his gut instinct and underestimated an opponent.

Scars!

"...Guess I should've expected you to have your own scars, but part of me... Well, with how mom and Gohan talked about you, I thought you'd manage to win every fight without a single scar."

It sounded silly when he said it out loud, but he had always heard of Goku like he was more than just a man, that he was a legend. A savior. An answer to everyone's problems. Even now that he met and experienced some tribulations alongside the man, it was hard to not put him on a pedestal subconsciously.

A moment like this reminded him that Goku was just like anyone else. A soft smile is given before Trunks removes his jacket and turning around, pointing to a long, thin scar that was barely seen beyond his shirt.

"This is from when I was practicing with the sword my mentor gave me. I got cocky with it, and when trying to sheathe the blade without looking, it ran along my back instead. Mom was furious with me, but it really helped me to understand not to get ahead of myself, even if I think things will be easy."

☆ @kxkarot ☆ — It's family cuddle pile time.

"Well, seems someone is feeling in a cuddle bug mood right now."

There was a small surprised noise not just from Chi-Chi but the rest of the Sons as they got abducted into a classic cuddle pile. Usually meaning one of two things — either Goku was just feeling extra loving today and wanted to hold his wife and kids or something had happened to cause him to worry and need them close to calm him down.

Regardless they were not leaving it anytime soon. Not that any of them cared to, especially when the kids practically latched around their father's neck. Both their tails wagging hard in the moment.

"Well, looks like we're stuck."

"Yup, looks like there is no way in the universe we can get out of this one."

The two eldest relaxing in their father's hold. Not at all bothered by the fact they had been snatched and were now being held — both Gohan and Gokai feeling content and safe right now.

"Mhm, seems like it."

Saiyo hummed in slight amusement. Not seeming to mind — even if she was still getting use to being included in these affectionate times.

"Heehee, cuddle attack back!!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, cuddle attack!!"

Both youngsters snuggling close to Goku, pressing as close to him as they possibly could right now. Having no complaints as they nuzzle their cheeks against his own. Their tails behind them blurring in excitement.

@kxkarot continued from [ x ]

Vegeta's fingers dug into Goku's gi, he had sensed the tension in the taller saiyan, but he hadn't expected this, didn't think that the fool would actually snap. He's pushed before, prodded, knowing exactly where the sensitive spots were. it was like an instinct he couldn't shut off, a cruel part of him that lashed out, seeking to prove something, anything. But he hadn't anticipated the response to be this brutal. Yet here it was. In an instant the dam had burst, every jab, every dig that had been accumulated, had exploded and the calm, collected Goku was no more.

The vulgarity, so unlike him, was what had thrown Vegeta off balance. Goku never cursed like that, never directed that level of pure malice at anyone, especially not him. He barely had time to react, to brace himself, and now Goku's ki had erupted, the red godly energy radiating off him with an intensity Vegeta hadn't seen from him before. The sheer pressure and magnitude from the other saiyans power was suffocating and thick with unrestraint wrath. It wrapped around him like chains, tightening his breath, forcing his senses to stay hyper alert. His chest rose and fell with his own attempts to regulate his breathing, his heart pounded against his ribs as his body was trapped between the wall and Goku's blinding aura. Vegeta's muscles tensed involuntarily as Goku's words became sharper, more vicious.

For a second Vegeta's mouth parted, about to retort, but before he could utter a word, Goku's hand gripped his armor. Shock coursed through him as he was hoisted off the ground and slammed into the wall. The impact sending a shockwave though his body and splintering the structure behind him. He let out a snarl, his tail bristling as he felt the sharp of pain on his backside. The sheer dominance had stunned him into silence, his body however reacted instinctively struggling against the grip, attempting to break free and escape, but even as he attempted to push back, he found himself overpowered. He wasn't sure if it was the strength in Goku's hand or the fury in his voice that weighed heavier on him.

The irony wasn't lost on Vegeta as the memories of his own moments of weakness resurfaced, the times he had let his rage and pride cloud his judgment. But this time, he wasn't the one flying off the handle. No, he was the one facing the consequences of someone else's breaking point. A breaking point that he had contributed to.

The sudden impact of Goku's fist against the wall made Vegeta flinch. His body immediately tensing, stilling. The cracks in the wall mirrored the cracks forming in his composure, and for a moment, he believed Goku would actually follow through with the violence lurking in his eyes. He had seen that look before, when Kakarot faced enemies that threatened everything he cared for. He knew that rage, knew the way it could tear through reason and restraint. And now, it was all directed back at him. There was a time when Vegeta would have welcomed such a challenge, would have laughed at the very idea of Goku threatening him. But now, at this very moment, he fought to maintain control, to not show just how much Goku's words, his actions, had affected him. But it was impossible to ignore the the fear creeping in, the nagging realization that Goku, of all people, could kill him right then and there and it sent a chill down his spine.

Vegeta's teeth clenched as the verbal assault rained down on him, Goku's hold tightening with each accusation, the armor groaning and bending, molding into the taller saiyans hand. His words cut deep, bringing up old failures that nealy cost them everything and the truth behind the burdens laid onto the other gnawed at him. He had known those flaws, acknowledged them in the silence of his own thoughts, but hearing them from Goku, feeling them like daggers aimed directly at his pride, forced him to confront them in a way he hadn't before. He hated how Goku threw these events back in his face, hated how the idiot was right. The truth burned, leaving him exposed and vulnerable in a way he detested.

When Goku finally threw him down, Vegeta collapsed onto his feet, his legs catching his weight at the last second with a grunt. His back slid down the ruined wall, his breath ragged as his heart still pounded in his chest. He kept his head down, unwilling to meet Goku's gaze. His mind raced but no coherent thought formed only a jumble of emotions that he didn't have the patience to untangle.

Vegeta remained silent, unmoving, his eyes narrowing as Goku stormed off, the echo of the door slamming reverberated through the room, the sheer force of it enough to make the entire building shudder. The fury that had been building inside him had been extinguished, snuffed out by Goku's onslaught, leaving only confusion and a bitter, lingering sense of guilt. He wasn't used to this, feeling like he lost a confrontation without so much as fighting back, of being confronted in such a raw, personal way. It was as if Goku had peeled back every layer of defense, exposing everything Vegeta tried so hard to keep hidden, and now he was left to deal with the aftermath, alone.

He tried to reignite the anger, but it didn't come. There was no easy way to brush what had just happened, no simple retort that would make it all go away, he could still feel the heat of Goku's grasp, hear the fury in his voice, see the raw unfiltered pain in his eyes. It was a side of the saiyan he wasn't sure he ever wanted to see again, because it meant acknowledging things about himself that he wasn't ready to face.

Pride was supposed to protect him, shield him from weakness, but right now, it felt like a flimsy, useless thing, barely able to hold up under the weight of everything Goku had said. Slowly, Vegeta pushed himself off the ground, forcing himself to breathe, to steady his thoughts, but even as he did he knew this wasn't over. He'd knew he would have to confront it eventually. Confront Goku. But riight now, he didn't even know where to start. There was one thing he knew for certain something had shifted between them and he wasn't sure if it could ever go back to how it was before.
