your honor that's not a shonen protagonist, that's a STEM MAJOR

Goku didn't come back to life to fight people, he came back to life so that Gohan could have a shoujo-manga high school/college experience with Videl and I think that gives him some extra dad points.

In my experience, they tend to actually go with the way dumber option of "Okay so this means that, every time we pit the hare against the tortoise, the tortoise would win, and therefore a tortoise can also beat all the other animals a hare could ordinarily beat in a race"

randomly wanted to say thanks for still liking my dragon ball stuff even after all these years and thank you generally to dragon ball for seeing me through a new chapter of my life. it's been a hot sec but i should look towards those stories and characters for courage again

first year of my phd has been really scary and tough ngl. but i just had a huge win with my first ever poster presentation going super well, so to celebrate i drew me and gohan lol. these are the best versions of ourselves!! WE CAN DO ANYTHING!!!

the thing about chichi teaching goten to fight but insisting on gohan focusing on his studies is that i don't think it's just a black and white case of "going easy on the second child" i think that if none of the world-ending shit had happened, chichi would've allowed goku to teach gohan when he got older. gohan is 3 or 4 (WHATEVER) at the beginning of the series okay i don't think it's unreasonable at all for her to be like Goku Our Literal Toddler Is Not Going To Fight Anything. Let Him Grow More First. but then all that world-ending shit did happen and her toddler was ripped away from her multiple times and kept coming back different every time and i think her pushing for him to focus on academia wasn't just because she wants him to have a good future or because she knows that he generally prefers academia to fighting (though these do absolutely factor in). i sort of theorize (and i'm straying into "musing" territory here) it's because by pushing him to study he becomes something closer to the little boy she lost. he becomes someone she recognizes and knows how to deal with instead of the child soldier who holds more power than she or anyone else knows what to do with.

and like i think this sort of mentality would've first sparked when she picked gohan up after the fight with vegeta and nappa and he was no longer reacting like he would've the last time she saw him (she says that he's safe now that he's with her but he already knows that she can't protect him from anything. he's stronger than her) and it was REALLY cemented when he yelled at her to shut up in the hospital. something that her sweet and shy little boy absolutely never would've done before. her son was back with her but she didn't know him at all and i do think that her being against him fighting is a part of her trying to pack all the wildness he picked up when piccolo kidnapped him into a box so he looks like her son again. and i don't think she's evil or anything for doing this i think she's a mother grieving her child who's doing her best. especially given that he keeps being sent out on the battlefield to suffer. she's only human. and part of the reason she's so lax with goten and even trains him herself is because he was never taken away from her—she never had to grieve him. there was the whole mess with buu but he never left her to become someone unrecognizable like gohan did. she raised him from start to finish in a time of peace. i REALLY think she would've helped goku train gohan when he got older if gohan had only grown up in a time of peace as well.

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

funko pops are meh to me except this one for some reason. i think the style makes him look like a normal dude in shitty cosplay which i guess he basically is. funko pop of a local entomology grad student who got mad at you for making fun of bugs

He is like a staple remover to me
