Have you ever argued with someone over DB?

I argue pretty much every time I meet a certain guy in University - we randomly talked once about DB Super and ever since, every single time he sees me he comes to talk about DB Super.

And it’s a problem because he tries so hard to make me see how great and glorious Saiyans are, how wonderfully written Super is, how everything falls into place with each new episode and I just stare at him like “Are you fucking serious”. Because I dislike Super immensely :’D

I argue every time because I wish DB would go back to its roots and would stop being just a play on people’s nostalgia to get cash in. I wish it would give light to some underrated characters again. I wish Toyotaro would pull his head out of his ass and write decent content. But this guy idolizes Toyotaro so it’s like talking to a wall.

Different views, basically

How did you get into DB fandom? Where? When? And why?

It’s funny how I got in the DB fandom because I actually never really left it, I guess!I started watching dragon ball when I was a kid (and I mean a 6 y.o. kid) which was insanity for a girl my age and it was also crazy because my mother was against me watching Sailor Moon because it was “violent” in her eyes, but dragon ball? Nu-uh, absolutely normal. In fact, we watched it together every day. My favorite was krillin, and we both hated Frieza like crazy.

I wasn’t really part of the fandom in terms of art contribution until 2014, because I didn’t really want to contribute anything to the fandom, I guess? And I, as a “tough girl”, decided to think that dragon ball was bullshit and didn’t want to like it anymore.

Until I rewatched the original DB out of nostalgia.

Checked a few DB tags on tumblr. Fell into the pit of hell that is this fandom. Haven’t left since then!

Was there any character that changed in your eyes over time? You liked him, but then stopped?

HMMM I used to hate Yamcha, I guess, because he was “useless”!! And Tien was also an “eh” in my eyes, but now I love them both. I also hated Bulma?? Guess she got in the way of “my love for Vegeta” (ew)

As a kid I was a massive Saiyan fan because they got shit done, while Tien and Yamcha were just the sidekicks that never got anything substantial done in terms of killing bad guys and so on, and they always died in stupid ways for the most part - or so I thought as a kid, at least.

Rewatching DBZ with a more critical and mature eye made me see some of the subtle things I missed when I was younger, and characters I considered stupid I’m very fond of them now.

All but Puar and Oolong. I liked them as a kid, now I can’t stand them :’D

Is this character ask open for DB characters?

Yes! I accept all character asks regarding DB characters whether they’re canon or my own! :D

How does Mars feel about being special little Lemur Dragon?

The thing is, she doesn’t know she’s special.

Mars, in her whole life, has only ever encountered another LemurDragon, which is Tidal. Tidal, much like Mars, has unique abilities because he as well has absorbed the paradox and made it his own, but at the same time is not like Mars because he doesn’t feel the urge to jump in different dimensions like she does.

Mars’ jumping is heavily influenced in this, because she can stay for years in the same dimension (see: five years in KH, three-five years in FFVII) before she feels a tug in her chest and she has to jump. She wants to ignore the feeling, but it gets stronger and stronger to the point that she’ll go crazy if she doesn’t. It’s like an itch, but instead of ignoring it to feel better, you have to scratch it otherwise it will get itchier and itchier to the point of making you want to rip your skin off.

What’s worse for her is that she doesn’t know why she has the tug. She asked Tidal, and he never felt it. She feels it, and it drives her to jump even when she doesn’t want to. She doesn’t want to jump! But she feels the need to. She has no idea why she feels it, but every few months / years she feels it again, and she has to leave all she knows for something new and unknown.

And she always ends up jumping in dimensions where the world / events are so fucked over that she wants to cry. She often gets the rough end of the deal, and if she doesn’t she has to witness her friends getting injured or hell, killed (rifp Aerith, you will be missed).

She knows she has special powers for some reason she doesn’t know - hell, she doesn’t even know about the paradox. She assumes every universe is like the one she lives in, considering that she can’t leave it and see if the others are different, and she thinks all other LemurDragons have special, unique abilities like Tidal and that she was just lucky enough to be born with more.

It’s actually Aerith that gives her the doubt that, maybe, her reason for jumping in different dimensions isn’t to see different worlds, but to help save those worlds. And by that time, she starts realizing that maybe, just maybe, she’s different. She’s “privileged” in a way.

And, in all honesty, she hates it.

She knew she wasn’t meant for the leading role after travelling with Lysander, but she never considered the possibility of having a role higher than sidekick. The knowledge sickens her, because it’s a responsibility she never asked for and doesn’t want.

But she still tries her hardest to fulfill her role, which is what breaks her the most when things don’t go the way she thinks they should.

Overall question: The worst monster/enemy she faced? How many times was she deafeted? By whom?

This is a difficult question to answer, because Mars never fights alone but is always accompanied by the group she’s tagging along with (which is Lysander and Tidal in KH, the FFVII cast on Gaia). She has gone solo only a few times, and they were when she left her main groups either on her own accord or because she was kicked out.

Definitely the worst enemy she had to face in KH was a Behemoth on her way to Lysander and Tidal’s location - she was going solo after pretty much ragequitting her main group (I will eventually explain why and when), and decided to catch up on them later on when she felt that something was definitely going to go wrong. The behemoth was a bit too much for her to handle, but eventually managed to come out of the battle victorious, albeit with some wounds and a massive headache due to overusing her magic.

As far as I’ve written the FFVII story instead, the worst she’s had to face so far was Jenova-BIRTH. The difference with the OG Jenova and Paradox!Jenova is that the paradox version is more aggressive, faster, and hits harder. So she was a much needed backup for the main team, and served as healer-supporter while Cloud, Tifa and Barret chipped away at the monster’s health. Jenova-BIRTH quickly noticed that she was a problem, and started concentrating hits on her rather than the other attackers - if the healer goes down, then the rest of the party goes down too. By the end of the fight she’s badly injured and needs Aerith’s healing magic to fix her, because her magic is completely out.

Additionally, and we go back to the time period after KH2 and before FFVII, Mars trains hard with Lysander and the two are on par in terms of fighting skills, so she moves to a different teacher who can help her fight without her fake keyblade (by this time Mars had decided to abandon her fake blade) - and she goes to Tifa for this, who after quite some begging is willing to help. And Tifa fuckin wrecks Mars over and over, for months before she starts getting better, stronger and fast enough to at least stand Tifa’s barrage of attacks for more than five seconds.

So, maybe, the strongest ‘enemy’ she had to face was Tifa.

For KH: What's her favourite and least favourite World?

Favorite world has to be Halloween Town - she’s quite squeamish when it comes to horror-like things, but the world is cartoony enough for her to make her fall in love with it! She loves how invested the citizens are, although she thinks their idea of taking over Christmas is absolutely terrible. She befriends Sally quite well thanks to their similar ideas.

Least favorite is definitely Wonderland. She loves all the weird things, but Wonderland is a drug trip, and she hates pretty much everything about that world. It’s a world that could have been thought up by a child, and she can’t work well with such strange things.
