Everytime I remember the What-If Story Fateful Brothers from Budokai Tenkaichi 2, I feel sorry for Raditz and think about how much squandered potential he had.

Dragon Ball GT Shadow Dragon arc would've been so much cooler if each fighter got a chance to fight their own dragon. Like the fighters all split into groups of 2-3 and go off to find and fight a Shadow Dragon and retrieve the dragon balls. Especially if they fight a dragon that is tied to them in some way.
Goku goes with Pan and they fight Rage Shenron, who's tied to the wish to revive Goku after his fight with Raditz.
Vegeta, along with Bulma who tags along cause its Bulma, fight Naturon Shenron who is tied to the wish of reviving all the people Majin Vegeta killed. It would've been a good character moment for Vegeta to reflect on his past and even Bulma to an extent since I believe she was the one who made the wish. This confrontation also would've been a better build up to Vegeta unlocking SSJ4, maybe Naturon captures Bulma and Vegeta transforms for the first time in order to save his wife.
Gohan and even Videl can join him (cause she deserves more chances to kick ass instead of being benched to the sidelines) and they fight Nuova Shenron who is the four star dragon which is an important heirloom in Gohan's family but also the wish Nuova is tied to is King Piccolo's wish for youth, tying into Gohan's friendship with Piccolo.
Uub could fight Eis Shenron because he's tied into the wish to have everyone forget about Majin Buu and his evil deeds. He just deserved more screen time after all that build up for his character.
Maybe Trunks and Goten fight Haze Shenron, tied to the wish to revive Bora, a call back to the very first series and parallel to the adventures Trunks' mom and Goten's dad were on together back in the early days of dragon ball.
And for fun, Oceanus Shenron targets Oolang because she's the underwear wish that he made and maybe it's Yamcha and Roshi who have to fight her. Maybe also Krillin and Android 18 get involved (I know Krillin is dead by that point but with some rewriting he could just be there to help out). Plus she's an ocean themed dragon, the fight can take place on Roshi's island that is literally surrounded by the ocean!!
And then by the end, everyone comes together to take on Omega Shenron, the finale dragon.

Okay, so a little Dragon Ball Au thing that I'm thinking up.
Premise: Instead of Nappa someone else is put in charge of Prince Vegeta. Enter you, Vegeta's older cousin that was put in charge of the little rascal.
You keep Tarble from getting sent away
When Planet Vegeta gets blown up you have to take care of three little Saiyans
You have to teach them about Saiyan things and keep them alive
Bonding sessions in Oozaru form T-T
Raditz being an angry little fella
You help Raditz train because he doesn't like being the weakest
Pacifist Tarble, who isn't shamed for not wanting to fight
Vegeta growing up with a role model that doesn't have Saiyan^TM toxicity
You adopt all three of them (BECAUSE I SAY SO!!!!!!!!!)
PARENTAL FIGURE READER
I've got some parts of this already written because I love this so much and it makes me really happy. I just adore the little baby Saiyans---THEY DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!
Idk if I wanna make this one really long oneshot or actually make it a multi-chap fic
I have some fanart of a babes if ya'll wanna see it, I'll probably post it sometime later :)))

One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten | Eleven | Twelve | Thirteen | Fourteen | Fifteen |
Everything was so simple these days, were you still a little on edge in regards to a certain white haired man? Yes. However the dull ache that hummed under the surface of your skin was enough to make you smile. You had found someone to deal with the last hints of the heat, and after all the training you’d been doing, it all just felt right.
You had no real destination in mind, it was a quiet day. Each of you was busy dealing with your own things and recovering for whatever mission would pop up next. You had always been a fan of being off base, but these days you practically lived for it. You couldn’t help the lingering anxiety that started to surface when things got too quiet. Between always being around such a noisy bunch, and not trusting it - it was just better to be away from the quiet.
Having just finished up in the dining rooms, you were lazily making your way down the halls, jaw falling in a large yawn. The leisurely stroll was fine, the passing soldiers were comforting, everything was still going on as it always did. Face after face that you hardly recognized, and that was how you liked it. There was something comforting in not having any ties to these people, and not needing to worry about who saw you.
“Ah, well there you are”
Internally you groaned as the all too familiar voice chimed in from the right before an arm curled over your shoulders. Turning your gaze to face the other Saiyan, your eyes were daggers that met the arrogance of his own.
“Raditz, I can’t believe I’ve been blessed with your presence. What have I done to deserve such a moment? Tell me, so I can avoid ever doing it again.” you groaned as you shrugged his arm off of your shoulders. The sarcasm rolling from your tongue was nearly tangible. Beside you came a deep chuckle, clearly not thrown off by the obvious displeasure at his appearance.
“I know Nappa warned me about how cold you’ve been and all, but it’s me. Unlike the other two, I’m much more tolerable.” he stated confidently, letting his hand rest on your shoulder this time. The smirk on his lips was enough to rub you the wrong way and you gave him a warning look, you just took his wrist and dropped his hand without a second thought.
“You can tell yourself that, but I am pretty sure that someone needs to have their head examined. Someone clearly doesn’t know how to take a hint, and will lose a limb or two if they aren’t careful” the growl came, low and threatening. In all honesty you knew that Raditz was the weakest of the three men, and if you were starting to catch up with Nappa then you could take Raditz. Well maybe not realistically win just yet, but at least give him something to reflect on. The hostility radiating from you was evident to the others in the hall as they didn’t bother to look over in your direction.
Instead of deterring him from his advances, it only seemed to light a challenge in the other, much to your dismay. A smug look came over his features and his hands went right to your hips. This desire for affection was starting to really bug you, and it was really not helping anything. The remains of the heat were faintly flickering, and sure the prince had helped considerably but you were starting to learn being around Saiyans didn’t help it any. Could that be why Nappa and Raditz had both been more inclined to be around you? Possibly, but what you did know was that it was getting on your nerves.
“Raditz, so help me - remove your hands before,” you growled, trailing off for a moment, not even able to think up some kind of threat in the moment. Between wanting to just deck him one, you instead opted to take a large step away from the other as your eyes caught sight of the tall purple man. It was instantaneous how the fear crept along your spine. Did he know about the incident the other day? “Captain Ginyu,” you greeted as you made sure that Raditz would be standing between the two of you.
To this, Raditz lazily turned to look over his shoulder before he turned around to give the other a nod of acknowledgement. He didn’t look too pleased with the other man's sudden appearance. For once you envied the man, oh how you wished you could have such an aloof attitude right now. Instead you got to feel foolishly afraid of the entire Ginyu Force.
“Making threats are we, Y/N?” The tall man asked, amusement lacing his voice more so than anything else. However, that didn’t stop the heavy feeling that started to form in your throat. Normally it would be an easy move to stand at attention and brush it off as nothing, after all Ginyu was okay when you weren’t breaking any rules. However you couldn’t trust him this time and the little extra space that Raditz provided was comforting.
“Me? I would never, Captain. No serious ones anyways. Sometimes you need to add one or two to make a point.” you retorted, a hint of bitterness reaching your tone as your eyes flashed towards the other Saiyan. To that, you got a scoff.
“I think that some of those threats are completely unjustified and unnecessary, I would never do anything to deserve any of that.” he sneered sarcastically. His attention turned towards the older man. The two were easy to fall into sarcastic banter, and you just wanted to be on your way. Ginyu you knew by name and face unlike the others - after all it was his work that got you transferred over to this ship.
You couldn’t really help leaning away from the conversation at this point. For starters you didn’t exactly feel very comfortable, not to mention the fact that they both seemed more than happy with just interacting with each other. Averting your gaze, you were looking for any available opening you could in order to excuse yourself and just get back to your room to just pretend like none of this happened. However it was almost as though Ginyu had a radar for situations like this as his attention turned to you.
“Ah right, Y/N! That reminds me, have we ever formally met one another?” he inquired, his typical attitude being almost too much for you to tolerate at the moment. Turning your attention back to him, your eyes watched him for a moment. When you didn’t respond right away he pressed once more, “Come, give me the honour of proper formalities.”
You still did not move. You were not ready to close the gap, and there was a nagging voice in the back of your head. You really didn’t want to be formal with him. Sure you were grateful for the work he put in you, for bringing you back to the rest of your kind - but he held far too much power. He was way too close to the two people on this ship you wanted nothing to do with.
A hand rested on the small of your back, causing you to blink in surprise. A laugh rumbled from beside you as it guided you forward, towards the tall man. Eyes flashing hard at Raditz he returned the look with something unreadable. Somehow that made the entire situation worse. You could feel your stomach turn at his little betrayal, but allowed yourself to naturally move forward as if it was nothing and lifted your gaze to meet the taller man.
“Sorry, lost in my own thoughts, forgive me Captain.” the words fell from your tongue in practiced form. Sometimes thinking was a secondary reaction, there were some things that everyone on the ship was just naturally accustomed to doing automatically - mostly to save themselves from meeting an untimely end.
Now standing before the other man, you couldn’t help but feel smaller in comparison. Extending your hand in a practiced manner you offered him the slightest hints of a smile,
“Y/N, nice to finally get to meet you properly.” His hand took yours in his before he pulled it up to his lips. You could feel the fur on your tail start to bristle at the contact but fear kept you from actually making any actions to move from his grip. While you felt uncomfortable, Ginyu seemed like the type to ignore boundaries, not on purpose, but just because he didn’t have any.
“Ah, You as well, Captain. I have been meaning to thank you for getting me transferred over to this ship.” you amazed even yourself at how casual your voice remained. Then again it was natural to fall into habit around superiors, personal comfort was something you got when you were no longer on duty. Thankful when he let your hand go, it quickly retreated back to your side.
“Ah yes, I’ve wanted to check in about that. There haven't been any more problems since then? Have these missions been more to speed?” He asked, his tone genuine. However simple and caring he appeared, you couldn’t trust him and you managed a smile,
“Yes. I feel much better here. Missions are more challenging and thrilling. Not to mention I was pleasantly surprised with my new teammates; they gave me a chance to learn more about my history” avoiding anything regarding problems, you were being pretty honest about everything else. You never figured you’d meet other Saiyans, let alone someone who was from the royal bloodline. It had been a learning experience, and while they got on your nerves, you had started to adapt to it in no time.
“Ah, that is good to hear! However, it seems no matter where you go, you still draw attention. I guess it can’t be helped,” he chuckled, his tone teasing as he let his eyes lift to Raditz. “But I am glad to see you’ve been keeping the others in check. Surprised none of them have messed up your missions yet..”
Beside you it was now Raditz’s turn to bristle at the man's comment. To that you couldn’t help but snicker. No, they hadn’t messed anything up yet, but they did struggle with thinking with the right head sometimes. After all no one was blind to the situation here, and you were happy to prove each day that you had the control. You may be part of a dying race, but the men also knew it couldn’t be forced on you either - not without dire consequences.
“Well, it seems like you have things under control here. I should take off, have a meeting to raise the team's morale shortly here. I can’t be late! Remember a pretty thing like you need to stay on her toes, don’t let anyone here get away with anything! Anything happens, make sure you report it like before.” he finished, a smile on his face. If it wasn’t for the little logo on his armour presenting his rank, you think he would’ve been a decent person to hang around with from time to time. He seemed carefree to be the leader of such an elite group - ah how misleading appearances could be. Personal and work life were easily kept apart in his books.
With a quick farewell from the pair of you, the purple man took his leave.
There was a moment of silence between you both before you turned and continued through the halls. You had just wanted to get back to your room and relax a little bit before all of this happened, honestly you blamed Raditz for all of this.
“Hey, Y/N!” the long haired male growled from behind you as he quickly caught up. Instead of trying to resume his previous mission, he fell into step with you, half a step ahead. Everything about him carried more purpose now then it had before, “I was looking for you earlier, Vegeta and Nappa are going to meet us back at my room. Vegeta wanted to go over a few things.” he explained.
“Ah, so I don’t get to relax for a while yet, that’s reassuring news.” you sneered at the other. The disgruntled glare you cast in his direction was met with an unreadable gaze. That didn’t sit right with you, but then again nothing today was really sitting right. Everything was all over the place and you were unsure what was going to be thrown at you next. Huffing your gaze returned to the front as you made your way down the halls. You just wanted to get this all over with.
--
The two of you had arrived shortly before the other two. There was nothing after this, just some off time to do whatever. Raditz had taken it upon himself to get comfortable, striping himself of his armour and stretching out on his little couch. Having swapped out his spandex for a dark pair of sweats, there was little left to imagine. Wanting to keep distance between you and the others, you had chosen to stand against one of the walls.
Vegeta and Nappa each occupied one of the chairs in the small living area, both still dressed in their everyday armour. Silently you thanked them for that, because having one of them half dressed was far more than enough for you.
After a few minutes of silence there was an impatient sigh from the Prince,
“Before we get to the boring stuff.. Y/N, would you mind sharing what's been eating away at you in the last little while?” he ‘asked’. Calling it an idea, or suggestion would be a grossly huge understatement. His tone made it pretty clear that he was telling you to share, not so much asking you to.
“It’s.. Complicated..” you muttered after a moment. Really, this wasn’t something you really wanted to share. It wasn’t exactly like they could do much in the way of stopping it. Hell if they were dumb enough to take action, you would be down a teammate. It wasn’t really something you wanted to make a big fuss about either, but the displeased look you got in response was followed by an equally displeased tone,
“It’s really not that complicated. You say what happened, and that is that. None of us missed what happened back in the training rooms. So you better explain before you weigh down the group. We can’t have you spacing out on missions.” That is what caught your attention. Anger flared in your chest at his words, like you would let personal matters hold back a mission. You knew your place, and you knew better than to let silly things mess up a mission.
“If you must know,” the words snapped, “Jeice has been more than friendly in the last little while and after screwing up with Lord Frieza - he’s been more than happy to use that as leverage.” the words were a hiss. They felt wrong on your tongue and the bile rising in your throat stung. If it had been just about anyone else, he never would have gotten away with it - you would have dealt with him by now. Unfortunately he held power over you, and you valued your life way too much.
As it set in what you meant, you swore each one were cluing in on a few things. Sure, you had been more than thrilled to be sent away from the ship. Yeah having Nappa kick your ass for a few hours helped take your mind off things. Maybe you were a little bit repulsed to having anyone touch you at the moment. You had gone so long without the worries of any unwanted attention, and yet here it was - and back with a vengeance.
“So Ginyu..?” Raditz started, pulling your attention to him. The anger burned in your eyes as you lifted your brows in response,
“I don’t know if he was hinting at anything or what was happening.” you were quick to finish for him, really not wanting to bring that up as well. However, the very mention of the man had two confused gazes flickering between you and Raditz, much to your dismay.
“Ah, Ginyu stopped us in the halls earlier. Asked Y/N how things had been since the move and all. All that was fine, but he was getting a little friendly himself.. However I imagine he was much classier than that filthy Jeice.” he filled in for the others. At the moment you wanted nothing more than to strangle Raditz. Was it really necessary to mention all of that as well? However, part of you was silently thankful that he had said it so that you didn’t have you. Eyes focused on the little coffee table, you couldn’t bear to look at any of them, you could feel the shame weighing down on your shoulders.
“Well, they better keep their distance.” Nappa finally barked. He looked absolutely livid when you lifted your gaze at the sudden comment. “They have more than enough women throwing themselves at ‘em. They don’t need to corner you.”
“While I don’t agree with anything they have done, we have to be careful. Like she mentioned, they aren’t shy about throwing their ties with Frieza around. We can’t just start picking fights or anything.” Vegeta piped in, his tone much calmer than the others. Then again, his eyes gaze it all away. The rage behind his onyx eyes was not something you’d forget any time soon.
“So then what? What was the point of this? None of you can do anything, it’s my problem so I was dealing. I can keep personal and work separate, have been for years.” you sneered. This whole thing felt pointless. They were just getting mad for nothing now, and it was just making you feel even weirder about the whole situation.
Suddenly the little table gave a pitiful cry as it splintered off into pieces - the large fist sat in the middle of it. Unlike the prince, Nappa’s rage was a wild storm that bloomed out to destroy whatever it could - much to Raditz’s agony.
“Don’t worry about that, we will do what we can. We can’t exactly confront them - however none of this has ever happened while we were with you.. So it might be best if you were always with one of us. It would be a reason for them to keep their distance, can’t have someone witness their deeds now can they?” Vegeta pondered, making it sound more like he was thinking aloud. To this there was a moment of silence, the words setting in with each of you.
As Nappa straightened himself out, he started to nod in agreement. A soft hum of agreement came from Raditz, and even if it wasn’t the most desirable solution - you couldn’t deny that even that made sense. Moving away from the wall, you started to pace a little - mulling over the idea in your head. Only Ginyu tried anything weird in front of Raditz, but that could have just been a weird perk he had. Last time, they had backed off when any of the three men showed up, and the time before as well.
“I suppose that’s an idea. I’m not exactly thrilled to spend all of my time with you guys.. But it is logical, and even I can’t argue with that.” you muttered out, shoulders falling slightly in defeat. To that Vegeta just scoffed, not impressed with your attitude, but he was much more adjusted to it compared to when he had first met you.
“Well if that's sorted,” Raditz hummed before his hands grabbed your waist, pulling you down to the couch with him. Stumbling slightly, you were distracted with the broken pieces of wood on the ground before your attention turned sour at what had happened. However before you could really register anger at the other’s actions, two reactions stole your attention.
The displeasure was an automatic response from the other two Saiyans. Nappa’s face was a cold glare, his entire body tensed as if he wanted nothing more than to reach out and steal you from Raditz’s grasp. Vegeta, while much less visible, was also tense, his cool expression fueled by those same burning eyes.
You could feel the corner of your lips twitch in amusement at how that played out. Sure Raditz won this time, but mostly because of the amusement that it brought you. Just this once you would allow the pesky man's advances to succeed. Shuffling a bit, you removed the bulky armour so as not to stab him with it and set it down beside the couch. With your chest gear gone, you let your back fall against his chest as you relaxed a little bit.
“C’mon Y/N, he’s a lower class saiyan, surely-” Nappa started, the jealousy evident on his face. He really did wear his heart on his sleeve, for any emotion it appeared.
“I thought we had some things to go over. Schedules, any news updates, you know - the normal stuff?” you quickly cut in, turning your attention to the prince. The look in his gaze was nothing short of unhappy, but he gave a grunt in response. Clearly he wanted to say something, but the arguing that would follow wasn’t something he was up for at the moment. You never believed how much you held over them, but this just proved it. Feeling the other’s arm wrap around your waist and rest on your stomach, you were thankful he was not pushing his luck. The rest of the meeting was simple and boring, but you came out of it feeling much more at ease then when it had started.

More headcanons because I’m sick and have nothing better to do~
This post? Raditz! Radish boy shall receive some love~
Very silly and of course it’s just headcanons so please don’t take these too seriously.
•Raditz is a tsundere through and through both for relationships and friendships.
•He’s the outlier of the group of 3, the other two being Vegeta and Nappa.
•Doesn’t get stronger like the others because he is too much of a coward to pick on anyone stronger than him.
•Grouchiest of the three, yes, even more so than Vegeta.
•His tail is super sensitive, most definitely his weakness.
•Relies on his scouter too much as he doesn’t trust his own instincts from constantly being invalidated by Vegeta and Nappa.
•Seeing as he doesn’t really have friends, befriending Raditz would mean him being quite insecure and likely having him being very possessive or having a fear of abandonment.
•If he’s extra grouchy, get that man food asap and lots of it.
•His tail reveals a lot about his feeling and emotions in the moment - that’s if it’s not wrapped around his waist.
•Struggles with human technology, so imagine you’re living with him (platonically or romantically, doesn’t matter) and you wake up to noises at 3am with the man trying to get a microwave to work. So yes…the man can use Saiyan pods and scouters but microwaves stump him.
•You know what, technophobe when it comes to earthling tech, you would see many phones destroyed because he can’t manage it.
•Or hearing him argue with Siri/Alexa/Google because everything isn’t working how he wants.
•But by no means does this make Raditz stupid. He’s smart but just doesn’t get the opportunity to really say anything.
•Looks up to Vegeta and Nappa, he just wants some form of acceptance goddamn it.
•Acts mean because it’s all he’s ever known - how he’s been treated.
•Of the three remaining Saiyans in the Frieza Force, I imagine he gets the least amount of name calling as the other two as he’s just kinda there? Raditz strikes me as someone who’s closed off.
•And due to ill treatment from his teammates I think he believes that being mean in the best way to communicate with people he’s interested in.
•Also…maybe a bit promiscuous. Frieza did assume Gohan was Raditz’s son so…I’ll leave that open ended, as I tend to stay relative SFW on here.
Someone socialise this man, he deserved to be around longer. So did Nappa to be fair.

HII if you’re still open for requests i just finished this semester’s finals can i get some fluffy praise and worship from Raditz for this tired af college student 😹 sfw or nsfw up to you 👌🏾
RADITZ X READER
☆☆ Content: ( au, fluff, praise, size difference, pining ) ☆☆ Warning: ( M / 18+. MINORS DNI. explicit language )
☆☆ A/N: sfw is for yellowbellies! (joke) put that old man in a sex-tuation
You flopped yourself into the mass of black spiky hair and lightly bounced off the solid muscles hidden beneath. The most relieved you have felt all week. Having found your way to him from your work desk, it was all you could muster from the long week of finals. Hitting “submit” on your final term paper, you finally allowed all of the stress and exertion of the last few days take you and sought out solace from your lover. You let out a weary sigh into his back and feel the tug on his mane as he tried to look over his shoulder at you.
You hear him snort, a quiet laugh at the way you sank against his back. An agreement that you’ve had enough of those tests. Raditz could do nothing but observe you throughout the week coming and going to your classes, then disappearing into your little home office to study and sigh and tap away at your “tiny console” until your eyes were heavy and dry.
“All done now?” He speaks up, tilting his head further in an attempt to look at you. His tail makes itself known when it brushes against you. "Did you pass?"
You squish your cheek into his upper back and pout. "I don't care." Wearily left your lips as you sigh again. You were just happy to be done with it for now. Raditz’s brow arches at your response and gives a thoughtful hum in acknowledgement. His right hand comes over his left shoulder for you.
"Come here." He encourages. Insisted, really. You take it and he guides you around him. Releasing your hand he uses the same arm to swiftly scoop you up against his side and carry you off to the nearby couch where he left the tv running. You find yourself in his lap as he sits, your back now up against his protruding chest and his tail resting across your thighs. "You know you did."
"I don't yet." You answered in a mutter. The whole thing was just an expectation you didn’t want on your overstimulated nerves right now. With a moment to catch your breath, it was better not to think about it. But the saiyan wouldn’t let up from the topic just yet.
"After all of that, you assume otherwise?"
"...No, but-"
"-Then you passed. There's no reason to doubt now." A crooked, yet playful grin rises in his features and a large hand pets the top of your head, affectionately rocking it from side to side until you shake him off.
"You're just saying that." You rolled your eyes, giving his hand a swat so you could lie back against his chest. Undeterred, Raditz then cups your chin, your cheeks squished between his rough thumb and fingers giving your head a light tilt toward him.
"Tch, Because you're acting like you're afraid to admit it." He insisted with a more profound smirk, a sense of pride in his eyes looking down at you that now overshadowed his prior teasing. "The worst thing you could do was not do it at all, you need to remember that. Now you can take pride in knowing you bested it!" Raditz boasted on your behalf, giving your efforts the praise it deserved in the end. Even he knew a sharp wit was worthy of some acclaim. All the limits you pushed yourself to with the knowledge you’ve gained to finally triumph your “exam labors” as he referred to it had to have some ego under your exhaustion. And he would happily remind you. "Now be a good girl. Worry about the little things later."
Looking up at him, you can see his thick brows lift over his eyes as his expression lightens up watching you soak in his words. He loosened his grip on your chin and stroked it with his knuckle instead.
To be where you are now at the end of the semester, everything else did feel like a blur of deadlines and cramming black and white words from a screen. The load was lifted off of your mind with only your final grade to review when it came in. Then all is said and done until next semester rolls around. Raditz stood by celebrating this as opposed to seeing it as just another boulder up the hill as you had internalized in these last few weeks.
He may not fully grasp the full expectations of the human educational process, but he’s been helpful to you. Even when he’s simply looming by you waiting for your attention, whether impatiently pining for the chance to fuck you silly or trying to distract you. He knows your schedule and tried to keep you on it each day as you forced yourself to study to the last minute. He flies faster than any vehicle you own and got you to every campus class when you overslept, and rushed you back home hoping you’d spare the extra time you had with him.
You thoughtfully lower your eyes with a soft bite on your lip. Then, you let a deep breath drain the remnants of your stress away, leaving a soft smile in your lips. "Thanks, babe." You finally answer him, placing your smaller hand over his with a charmed twinkle in your eyes.
He’s been waiting to see that smile. His other arm pulls you further into lap as you settle back against his chest and he lets you have that moment of peace you sought as his thumb idly stroked your jaw. Literally, counting down the minutes until his hand slips around your jaw again, this affection but firm grip forcing you to tilt your head back as he leans over you.
“Now that you’re finished, you owe me for blowing me off all week.” He spoke in a rigid, low tone, indicating his frustration of not having you when he wanted. A blend of his neglected desires and his annoyance over it made his voice low, darkening his natural rasp. “You're all mine again…”
The rough sound in his voice made it clear you were in trouble, but it never failed to excite you either and helped you find your second wind for the evening. Evident in the flutter of your heart in your chest when his other arm left your waist and forced down your bottoms to completely expose you.
“Why do you insist on testing my patience knowing what I’ll do.” He seemed to scold you, the best way he could express himself over things he genuinely cared for. You’ve been able to see through his harshness and knew it wasn’t really about just having sex with you, but it was the only way he wanted to show his feelings right now. You both deserve it, really. The way he cradled your head in place gave you a view of him shaking your panties free of your lower dressing and clutching them possessively in his fist. You watched as his eyes darkened in his intrigue at the delicate fabric and brought it up to his face, first burying his nose in it to take in the scent he’s been starved of. Then his tongue dragged against the fabric where it consumed his senses the most, the tip of his tail starting to thump against your bare thigh. His actions reminded you of an animal, nothing he does really surprises you anymore. Moreover, it captivated your attention to see the raw side of an alien man discover his fascinations.
That’s when his other hand left your face and stretched out the collar of your top as he seized one of your breasts with an equally possessive squeeze. The hitch in your breath was enough to take his attention away from the panties and let it fall from his hands. Raditz wets the tip of his fingers on his tongue. Even with his impromptu lube, the roughness of his fingers isn’t lost on you when he starts to stroke them across your clit, his tail now wrapped around one of your thighs to help with holding your legs apart. The way you arched into his touch made him chuckle to himself, toying with your nipples one at a time and soaking your bloom to slick his own fingers until he could easily bury two of them inside.
The stretch stole your breath, making you grip on his wrist as if to hold onto the last of your composure in the intensity of the warmth his touch gave you. Naturally, your legs opened further to embrace the pleasure until he sought to feel you completely fall apart under the thrust of his fingers, his tail, then, was the only thing holding your legs from clenching around his hand.
He didn’t spend too much longer simply playing with you, removing his slick fingers to replace it with his thick cock. He’s been aching to feel you around it, loving the way you fit him. Almost like a glove had he not have to be mindful of how fragile humans were compared to a saiyan’s endurance. Oh, but those instances that you do and your eyes roll into the back of your head would send him into a frenzy fit for an Oozaru. The worship he carried for you being so ripe with lust and able to take all of his cock. He needed this to be one of those exceptions, so he continued to feed you inches of girth while he tended to your sensitive clit to help you along the way.

NEW FIC PREVIEW
Crooked Ways, a Bulma x Vegeta fanfic.
Summary: Abandoned by her friends to ride out the years until the Androids appear on her own, Bulma has never felt so useless. Like a Capsule Corp spaceship left to drift in space forever after running out of fuel. Meanwhile Vegeta, her erstwhile tenant, steps his princely attitude over the line a few too many times. At least bickering with him makes her feel less alone.
This wasn’t the first time the woman had insisted on treating him like an invalid by smearing him in salves and bandages until his range of movement was so limited that even Raditz could take him down in this condition. It was, however, the first time she’d done so since That Kiss on the couch (already an event deserving of capital letters in his mind.) Try as he might, Vegeta, sitting on the edge of his bed with Bulma’s breasts too close to his face to relax, couldn’t manage to entirely ignore her sweet, slightly smoky scent washing over him as she wrapped a bandage around his shoulder.
“Ouch!” he barked, more for show than actual pain. It got Bulma to back up a bit, anyway.
“So sorry!” Her tone indicated that she was anything but sorry. Vegeta scowled back, and she stuck out her tongue before grabbing another bandage from the basket she’d brought in.
“If you’re hurt, I’m not returning the favor,” he stated, lifting his elbow when she pushed on it. The cut on the back of his arm stung when she touched it, and he hissed.
“I’m not hurt,” Bulma said quietly. Her hair brushed against his bare chest. She’d insisted that he strip the top of his suit so she could better reach his injuries. A mistake, clearly. Vegeta hid his relief in a dismissive grunt. “Thanks to you,” she added, so snidely that he immediately knew that she wasn’t actually thanking him. “Why did you do that, anyway?”
“What, save your life?”
“Yes!” Her knees planted on the bed next to him, giving her more leverage. He looked away, wondering if she was doing that with her breasts on purpose.
“So that you’d be alive to fix all the mistakes you made,” he said. “Whatever you did that made those robots go haywire.”
“They didn’t go haywire. You turned your back on them.”
“My mistake, wasn’t it?” Vegeta winced, squirming a bit while Bulma tied off the bandage on his arm. His back screamed in protest, even with the creamy salve she’d spread over his skin. An event he hoped not to repeat, at least not while she had a front row seat to the growing situation between his legs.
“Dad would have fixed it,” Bulma pointed out. She hopped off the bed, rummaging through the basket.
“If he didn’t kill me for letting his daughter be ripped to shreds by her own invention.” Vegeta felt her hand shove his head to the side, and he grumbled out a bleat of protest that went ignored. The stinging cold that went through his skin indicated a shallow at his hairline, which she wiped clean none to gently. Not that he deserved gentleness.
“Is that why you were crouching over me like a wolf protecting its hunted spoils from other predators?” she asked with a bratty lilt to her voice that he knew was for his benefit. He huffed.
“The only spoil you are is a brat!”
“I didn't ask you to save me!”
“You don't have to ask!”
The room went quiet. Hairs raising on the back of his neck, and with nothing to do with his injuries, Vegeta could have cursed himself for saying something so stupid. He didn’t want to look, but he peeked a glance at Bulma’s face anyway: her eyes widened in surprise, her lips parted with an inhale of breath he could hear far too well.

i think the tien x lunch ship is pretty funny because other than the characters have negative 10 chemistry together, the only reasons it seems to endure is because lunch show some interest in him and both characters became complete afterthoughts.
lunch kinda because a vessel for random ass ships. i know raditz x lunch is another popular one because...well mostly because lunch is like the last notable woman left in dragon ball who isn't married/attached to someone else and i guess people want her to come back so she can do f**k all.
i love tien and i think raditz is lame and i wish lunch was around, but both ships are doodoo. tien became a personality chasm where hes just piccolo but with no development and raditz is an uglier proto-vegeta (though at least tien had a personality at one point while raditz was always vegeta but a coward).
lunch deserves better than either of these two losers.

In short Raditz deserved BETTER!! 😤
Raditz is such a ridiculous character.
This guy is Goku's brother. He is the last blood relation Goku has aside from his own son at that point, and he's evil. He's stronger than Goku was at the time, he's smarter than Goku, he's a link to their culture that Goku never had before and never had again, because Vegeta is a prince and has a skewed concept of Saiyan culture.
And then he dies and is never mentioned again. Not ever. He dies in his first encounter, and yeah he takes Goku with him, but they didn't even meet in the afterlife. Goku spends the next twenty episodes dead and jumping across Snake Way and we don't even get a glimpse of Raditz in HFIL below.
He could have been anyone. Raditz could have been the legendary Some Guy who's just here to do his job and--oh what's that? A wild child Saiyan? Weird, but whatever, let's kill him.
It would have made no difference. It should have been Nappa showing up to wreck shit up and then Raditz is palling around with Vegeta. They could have had a epic, emotional character arc where Raditz is struggling between loyalty to his prince and his desire to protect his baby brother, but no.
Imagine, for an instant, if Supergirl was one of Zod's minions, and she appeared in exactly one comic as a herald for Zod's arrival before Lex Luthor kills her with Kryptonite after Superman manages to beat her once. And then she's never mentioned again. That's Raditz.
It's insane, really. He's the main character's brother and they don't do anything with it. Absolutely bonkers.
(I'm not a Dragonball superfan so I don't know, did Raditz even appear in any of the movies? I know there was one where Goku's dad was the main character and another that takes place partially in the past on planet Vegeta. Does Bardock even mention Raditz? His eldest son?
Totally insane.)

Anonymous asked: tbf at least nappa sorta cared about him. He DID want to wish back raditz until geets told him it would be a waste of a wish and that they could really do so much more with the dragon balls. vegeta was just not a good person
Unprompted || Always Accepting !!
nappa DOES get points for wanting to wish raditz back, but it still breaks my heart that he's so quick to change his mind when vegeta thinks of better uses for the wish, it's the quick dismissal of his death that upsets me, especially when he was so sure that they'd avenge him, my man deserved so much more than that
#ooc .#anonymous#answered#( and yeah i know ''they're a warrior race'' but still man#you're breaking my heart over here )

And I don't give a crap that you don't give a crap about Super, that's what happened, that's what is shown and that's it. Your issues with Z are just you filing in the blanks left by Z with a 'Goku is a bad dad' bias which are contradicted by what happens in Super so Super is very relevant.
Goku didn't train 24/7 with Gohan, they still came home to eat, sleep, relax and Gohan kept up with his studies. This isn't Vegeta's type of training of passing weeks inside the gravity chamber.
...You realize Goku didn't go to Namek to train, right? He went to Namek to save GOHAN, Krillin and Bulma / help with reviving his friends.
I got 20 with the ROSAT time + the 15 year until End of Z, at least that's what's said in the manga in my language.
No, it's not telling at all, it's just you failing to register implied information. If Pan and Goten can do it, so can Goku who is faster than them.
'Why did he have to leave?' Because generally masters live with or near their disciples? Like that's pretty classic martial arts stuff and Goku is actually being very generous by not making Uub be the one coming to live with him.
Your doubt are based on nothing but Bias, even in Neko Majin, we see Goku around his family enough to get involved in dealing with minor stuff like a mouse getting the storehouse.
'But after the cell games, Vegeta was always there.' Except he wasn't, the only thing he did for those 7 years is train and somehow avoid holding Trunks in any context.
'Trunks had his father there. Trunks had both his parents at home. Trunks can go to bed at night knowing his dad is at home with him. Trunks can wake up and his dad is there. And he has the opportunity to spend time with his father if he wants. Besides his infancy, Trunks always had Vegeta around.' Literal fanfiction based on nothing. Trunks had to force his way in and get punched in the face to spend any time with Vegeta, he'd go to bed with his dad in the gravity room or on an asteroid and wake up for the next week with Vegeta still away. If Vegeta was around every day, why did Trunks have to use a one time promise to get Vegeta to spend a day with him and Bulma?
1: Goku isn't exactly wrong and him coming back right when Buu attacks kinda prove him right and 2: Bulma is the one who started the idea in the first place, why would Goku doubt her?
How is the argument flimsy when the last 16 years have been nothing but people with personal business with him putting everyone in danger from his POV? Majunior, Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, all of Namek and all of the Cyborgs and Cell saga are all specifically related to Goku.
Yeah, you seem dead serious about ignoring the actual story and replace it with actual fanfiction about a dude who wouldn't even hold his kid somehow being there 24/7 despite us knowing he was either training or ignoring said kid and confirmed to have an habit of suddenly leaving for months on a whim.
Goten is perfectly happy with his dad ever since he came back from the dead, you say he deserve better while ignoring the literal years of happiness we see with his dad on screen.
You say nobody cares about Chichi's feeling and then proceed to ignore her actually liking her lifestyle and how she and Goku lives while also completely ignoring Goku had her permission to go with Uub while also conflating the obvious implied goodbyes with the audience with what he actually says to his family, which amount to 'I'll be hanging out around Uub's village to teach him, which isn't an obstacle to seeing literally anyone'.
You have issues but they don't seem based on anything that actually happen in the show, all your issues are based on filing in the blanks left by the time skips with the worst interpretation for Goku and the best interpretation for Vegeta while ignoring the sequel that show that you were wrong in how you interpreted all of it.
thank god you have good opinions. ive always said that goku was a shit father and a garbage husband. Sorry tumblr goku fans your fictional husband that was written by a misogynist man in the 80s is a bad dad on paper because of it!!
People are entitled to their opinions. Maybe he's the kind of guy they like. But you have to be objective. As I said, Goku loved his family. He gave his life for Gohan and Gohan and Chi Chi were seen in a nightmarish vision while he fought Frieza I believe. So he does care about them.
But love is not enough. He's missed most of his sons' lives and Chi Chi's feelings seem to be an afterthought for him. He obviously prefers fighting new opponents and going on new exciting adventures than being with his family with slow and boring family life.
Vegeta was a terrible person at first but I said I preferred him as a father because Vegeta was ALWAYS THERE. Trunks' infant years aside. Even if he spent most of the time training, Trunks had a father who was at home and spent time with him (even if it was just training). And after the buu fiasco, I can see Vegeta truly redeeming himself and appreciating his family. You can't tell me Bra/Bulla was not a total daddy's girl. Vegeta and Bulma would have also gotten a lot better after Buu too. They got to grow old together while Chi Chi's husband flew off with Shenron never to return, after being gone for 10 yrs only to return as a kid. Goku is the kind of dad who is fun to spend a weekend with and who makes big displays of love like sacrificing himself. But you can't count on him to be there reliably. Why would I want a father or husband like that who won't even bother calling me while he's gone?
AND don't forget that father of the year Goku saved Satan, Dende and a damn dog over his sons when Buu blew the earth sky high. You can definitely feel the love. What a dad! Vegeta has to call him out for it. Too bad the next episode wiped away the gravity of Goku's choice 😒
As for Toriyama, I am not sure he is sexist. Bulma was the character that started DB and Chi Chi, Videl and 18 etc were strong characters. 18 was the one to put Vegeta in his place, not 17. The only reason I didn't like Videl more was because I hated her father Mr. Satan. Maybe Toriyama was not sure how to further develop them so that's why they were just relegated to housewives at the end. But there are amazing and adequate diverse female characters in the dragon ball series. It would have been nice to have consistently powerful female fighter though anon.

Of course I get attached to the character in Xenoverse that popped up in only like, a few episodes and seems like he’s rarely mentioned again I
#raditz deserves better cause I say so FITE ME-#maybe I’m wrong but that’s how twitter makes it sound-#I don’t even go here I’m just surprised he’s not a bigger character
