Chi-Chi's death scene in canon annoys me to no end; it’s so fast and lacking in emotion, but the context itself is So grim to me. Like.. for a brief time, Goten was the only member of his family left alive. Which is a pretty shattering revelation for anyone—let alone a six year old.
(Thankfully Piccolo's had a lot of character development since he was last in this position)
Bonus: everyone else's reactions lol
Another Place - Bastille
Some kudoichi longing + mandatory bkdk paralellisms:
"... you should smile more."
"Smile more? Oh god no, I hate my smile!"
Fotos y comentarios aquí y allá, no esperes demasiado, ah y me gustan las cachapas.
well you heard him, whis
No superan al futbolista colombiano Efmamjjasond, llamado así por los meses del año.
I mean this in the absolute nicest way possible:
You cant forget instinct. Thats why theyre called instincts. Theyre INSTINCTUAL.
I feel like some people misinterpret gokus head injury as a child. He forgot he was a saiyan. He forgot his parents. But it didnt get rid of his natural "saiyan instincts."
Saiyans were ruthless because thats the path they ended up on. Take universe 6 saiyans. Theyre not planet brokers, but saviors.
Saiyans ARENT inherently evil. Goku didnt have issues as a baby because he was a saiyan... he was violent because he was on a new planet with nothing familiar. No parents. No brother. No home. Just a strange old man and things he didnt understand.
So he threw tantrums. Like any child would. And they seemed worse because he wasnt human.
You can lose instincts over time. But Goku didnt lose his saiyan abilities or instincts at all. Theyre still there. He lost his memories. It was his saiyan instincts that kept him alive when he was alone in the woods for all those years.
The saiyans believe theyre superior through years and years of fighting and brokering planets. If their original planet, sadala, hadnt blown up then maybe they would have ended up like the universe 6 saiyans, fighting to save rather than destroy.
But it did blow up. So they had to fight for another. And then king cold made everything THAT MUCH WORSE by basically enslaving the saiyans to work for him. And then later, frieza.
If saiyans were "evil" then vegeta would have no capacity for good at all. And Goku losing his memories wouldnt have mattered. But they arent. Not inherently anyway.
Dont get me wrong. Theyre ruthless and cunning and can be downright terrifying im sure. Thats all from their intense instinct for battle. Its what they do with that that makes them flawed and could have been different.
kudoichi childhood friends au (revamped!)
more under cut !!
they r not free from my childhood friends au agenda 🙏🙏
heres additional doodles :]
i drew this right after 407 where we FINALLYYYY got the ofa/afo backstory AND brand new ichinii content , so in honor of that i revamped my kdch childhood friend au (ill add the older vers at the bottom)
random info:
>their nicknames: hero-san and k-chan (might change)
>kudou only called him that due to yoichi saving him from falling off the log bridge, and the nickname stuck cus yoichi didnt have a name yet (which ik afo taking 9 years to name him is crazy but bear w me) and cus yoichi liked it sm. ... also i rlly dont have a particular reason for yoichi calling him-k chan,
>thats also how they met, after afo left to scavenge or whatever hes up to, yoichi snuck out of the abandoned home he and his brother were currently residing in and found the forest nearby, then met kudou in happenstance
>they never talked about afo other than yoichi referencing him from time to time si kudou didnt know much about him other than "my brother has alot of cool meta abilities" and afo surprisingly never found out about kudou or yoichi leaving almost daily
>they only spent 2 months together, i hc that yoichi and afo moved alot when they were younger so..
>they were eachothers first friend
>the next time they met was in the vault
.
anddd heres the older version
dont have much info since i didnt think much of it, the only significant change is thst the age difference btwn the two
Hikage, En, what was it like meeting each other?
En: It was so awkward.
Hikage: I don't think it was that bad other than how I had to look down that far.
En: ..
Hikage: He's very short.
En: I'm not short. they're just freakishly tall.
