trying to figure out how fucking old dende is and why he looks the exact same age as when gohan is 5 as when he's 11 (or 9?? or 12 or 13?? fuck this show) and them remembered if i really wanna hard sci-fi this shit i gotta account for the fact that namek probably has different gravity and so space-time relativity has to be accounted for. goddamnit. also they're all experiencing weird gravities like all the time?? like am i wrong or should vegeta not be rapid aging relative to everything going on outside with all that 10000 gravity shit hes doing?? for some reason im willing to handwave space travel (bcz i mean. we GOTTA get dende on earth im willing to break physics for that) but i am less willing to handwave this. or like. its interesting to think abt i guess. like imagine having a crush on a boy approximately your age and then going a few months without seeing him and then when u see him again he's aged like five years and is like twice your height. also he's like blonde and shit. that parts not relevant i guess
