my monthly mandated self indulgent trunks art god i love him
I'm writing the headcanon post I was too sleepy to answer with last night and grabbing manga caps and getting distracted as per usual but I had fully forgotten that Bulma grew her beautiful 80s hair back out after Namek and Vegeta did get to witness its glory but then my brain said,
Vegeta's so bad with names Bulma started wearing hers on her tiddies so he'd remember it
#'if you're going to speak disrespectfully the least you can do is look disrespectfully'
do you guys ever find your own tags and laugh again
anyone else relate
my personal inconsequential headcanon is that neither of them know how tall the other one is
How i draw...wingggzzzaaahhhhhhhh
How in the world was Nappa a general in the Saiyan army given how stupid he was? He believed he could stop the krillin’s attack, but he was wrong because it could cut him in half. There’s no way he was a general given that he wasn’t smart in the battle field and off the field.
Nappa’s not stupid, he’s worse — he’s impulsive and arrogant. A SUPER important thing to remember is that ki abilities in general are extremely rare in Toriyama’s canon. Namekians, Saiyans, and Yardrat(ians?) and maybe a few others are the only ‘mortal’ species in this realm that seem to be able to use them naturally, regardless of power. Most of Freeza’s upper crust are mutants who can do things the rest of their species can’t, Earthlings shouldn’t be able to utilize that kind of power and, at that point in the series, Kienzan was Krillin’s invention and was unique to him across the entire universe (in the manga). Nappa could not have been prepared for it. Vegeta knew because he’s an extremely keen observer who spent the fight watching and tracking the Z Fighters.
People often forget that Vegeta is genuinely brilliant. He put the patterns together quickly, and fully taught himself how to read ki without a scouter just in the short time he was on Earth. He was actively learning that skill watching the fight and participating in it. Nappa kept assuming that the Earthlings were weak and fortunate, but that assumption was based on their previous attacks not doing him severe harm.
Nappa and Vegeta both operate based on their experience, and Nappa’s experience was being wildly overqualified for his work. In the exact same way that Vegeta fumbles throughout the series after Namek — Nappa isn’t stupid, he’s arrogant, and he’s arrogant because he spent his life being very good at his job.
The Z Fighters are also extreme outliers in terms of combat ability. Vegeta calls Nappa an idiot because he (like Raditz) coasts on his overwhelming strength, and doesn’t actively engage in or evolve his strategy based on any new information. It’s arrogance, from the fact that he’s very used to winning without issue, and assuming the Earthlings are just getting lucky (which Vegeta also does later in the battle).
To be fair, I also don’t think he was a general in Toriyama’s canon. He’s just an elite, which iirc is based on his power, as high intelligence was also not a very common or sought-after Saiyan trait. Being incredibly smart and intellectually dynamic is something that set Vegeta apart from his peers, and likely why Freeza knew that Vegeta would be a problem for him someday. That’s not to say Raditz and Nappa were dumb, but they are all very stubborn, and Raditz and Nappa were less eager to adapt and evolve and chase ambition than Vegeta was, since their power was usually more than enough to succeed.
tldr if nappa was stupid vegeta wouldnt have bothered trying to help him. he’s a powerful fighter who frequently gets caught up in the moment, which is why vegeta tells him to use his head. there is a brain in there somewhere when it’s not being steamed by frustration.
I'll be an avid shipper of something until someone walks in and says "there is NO platonic explanation for this" and suddenly I've never shipped it before in my life and they're just friends and I can't lie i can't really see them being in a romantic relationship with each other yeah sorry I just don't see it
Anyway this disability pride month I would like to shoutout disabled folks whose creativity has suffered because of their condition. I’m talking people with hand tremors and pain that stop them from drawing, knitting, and playing instruments. People whose thinking has become so disorganized that nothing they write makes sense to other people. People with chronic pain who can no longer dance. People so over medicated in a fruitless attempt to maintain stability that the wells of their imagination have run dry.
I see you and I love you. You are more than your creative output. You are not a shell of what you used to be. You are a whole, complete person, regardless of what your creativity has been, is now, or will be in the future.
Yes your blorbo is tortured and pathetic and slutty and pretty and suffers more than jesus and all that but never forget that your blorbo is, first and foremost, a loser.
By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.
Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.
This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):
Executive functioning skills range from working memory to cognitive flexibility to inhibitory control, and beyond. They power our daily func
Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):
Practical Strategies for Enhancing Executive Functioning Difficulties in Adults With Autism - Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as
Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.
But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:
Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.
Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation
Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.
Meditation
Martial arts
Sports in general
Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)
Woodworking
Cooking
If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers
Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.
Sometimes I cry when I see Trunks hold his father's hand or simply touch him because Vegeta doesn't yell at him, push him away, or tell him to be a man—he just lets him do it.
I wish I had more moments in the manga of them hanging out but honestly I owe the Kakarot team my life for this screenshot
