Okay! Don't know if it's strictly K18 related, but I'm feeling a little Rule 63, so....how 'bout Kuri Lin and fem!Goku do some sparring? (with hubby #18 rooting for his awesome wife) Also, Happy New Year <3

My thoughts on the recent super episodes

Okay, so I have two asks here, basically asking the same thing. What did I think of the last two super episodes, so I’ll answer them both here.

Straight up, I have a confession to make. I haven’t seen super. *sad face* But I do keep up with the general gist of what’s going on and have been all over the K/18 parts of the last two episodes.

So. ‘That’ scene in Ep75. I think what a lot of people saw when they watched this was 18 ripping into her husband, basically saying that he is a coward and a weakling and using that as proof that she doesn’t really love him/is a stone-cold-bitch (despite the tons of evidence we now have to debunk that.)

I saw it differently. What is one thing we know about Krillin? He is a man who has seen some shit and lived a pretty tough life. He is riddled with anxiety (and probably PTSD) that he isn’t good enough, nobody loves him etc etc etc. I happen to know a little something about living with and supporting someone who lives with this kind of struggle. My fiancée is an anxious wreck most of the time, and over similarly dumb things as Krillin is. Things where to the sufferers, they seem overwhelming and all consuming, but from the outside, the people who love them can see that it’s just stupid. Of COURSE you are good enough, of COURSE people love you, of COURSE we are going to continue to love and support you forever no matter what.

Now, I’m willing to bet, that just like me and my fiancée, 18 has spent many, many, many hours, days, weeks, being there for Krillin when those anxiety’s get too much and they manage to take hold of him and he becomes a useless, crying wreck in bed at 2 o’clock in the morning and all she can do is hold him, stroke his hair, kiss his forehead and prove to him that even now, at his lowest of lows, she is indeed still there for them just like she said she would be. Because she LOVES him.

Supporting someone who lives with anxiety though, is hard fucking work. And in my experience it can be very lonely. All of your energy gets used up in supporting your person, and very rarely are they able to reciprocate that, because they are using all of their energy to just hold it together. I have been in 18’s shoes. Thinking about every word you say before you say it, because god forbid you utter one word out of place and send your person into some sort of shame spiral that could last for weeks or months. So much as mention that it can be hard work having to be ‘on’ all the time and ready to go with the supportive words and perfect advice and you send them into a panic, thinking that you’re sick of them and you’re going to leave and they were right all along and really are nothing but useless pieces of shit.

And the thing is, they don’t (or aren’t capable) of believing what you say anyway. It’s a seemingly never ending loop of uttering the same supportive spiel, because there are only so many different ways you can say ‘I love and support you’. Of listening to the same unfounded worries and arguments, of offering the same reassurances and getting nowhere.

As the support person, it’s demoralising and it hurts when someone who you love more than anything, won’t believe that all the wonderful things that you see in them and love about them are true. And sooner or later you reach the end of your rope and figure that since the kind, supportive, loving tactic is getting you absolutely nowhere, you’re going to just say whatever you think of next. And I think this part of the anxiety-support-person cycle is where we are at the beginning of that scene.

Krillin is having yet another pity party for himself, after letting himself get shot at (because lets’ be honest, even after not training for months or even years, he should still be able to dodge a bullet. I think to say that his strength/reflexes would ever go all the way back down to normal human levels is just silly.) So Krillin is getting snippy with 18. Being a bit of a smartass and wanting sympathy that he probably doesn’t really deserve in that moment, and 18 just reaches the end of her patience. She knows that the usual support person MO isn’t going to cut it, and she probably doesn’t want to get into unpacking all of Krillin’s anxieties and air all his secrets in front of Goku who is sitting RIGHT THERE watching this whole exchange go down. So she doesn’t. She does what any reasonable person is entitled to do when their partner is being kind of a dick to them, and acts like kind of a dick back. It’s petty, sure. But it’s real life.

She’s frustrated with him for acting carelessly and letting himself get shot when they have Marron to think about, she’s angry at herself for not knowing the perfect words to make Krillin feel better, she’s self-conscious about Krillin having a meltdown while Goku is in the room. It’s just a perfect anxiety shit-storm that any couple who have dealt with this hideous, plague of a condition has been through a thousand times before.

And you know she instantly feels bad about losing her cool, because she makes him that super adorable love heart coffee, and if she’s anything like me when I slip up in my anxiety support person role, she’s going to be feeling bad about it for the next month and wishing she could take it back, but what can you do. She’s only human and none of us can be perfect all of the time.

So all in all, I liked this scene for showing us another facet of a normal relationship. No relationship is perfect all the time in real life and even the most loving and devoted of couples don’t say all the right things 100% of the time and I liked that super showed us this.

As for Ep76, I liked this one too! Obviously we’re not going to get a montage of Krillin working through his shit with councillors and psychologists, working on his mental-health plan with his GP and taking his anti-depressants every day, so this was a nice way to show him overcoming his struggles and to allow his character to move forward so that he can kick ass with his mega hot wife and cool but a little bit scary brother-in-law in the next arc!

So that’s what I think about the last few super episodes, what do you guys think? I know I’m a little bit late to the party, but too bad. I get things done whenever I get the chance!

Keep inboxing me your thoughts and questions, I love hearing from you all, from the big important questions, to the silly little headcanons, I want to discuss it all with you!

Big Love D.B

This is one of the oldest doujins I have. It was completely renamed from the source one so I don’t know if this comic is around anymore (there was a time when people had so few pictures on their PCs, they actually gave them names!).

Probably late 90s-early 2000′s, from this site - db.doujin.de.vu-, an old german fansite with (partial) doujinshi scans. Site seems to be defunct now.

By the artstyle, I think it’s part of Monthly Seiya, but I’m not sure. IT IS MONTHLY SAIYA, THANK YOU SAIYANB!

Basically, Vegeta is in love with 18 (a storyline that occurs in multiple doujins)  and gets really jealous when she kisses Krillin. When 18 looks his way, he gets excited and shouts cat calls after her. I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT, HE IS ATTRACTED TO KRILLIN. Probably overhearing him, 17 decides to call dibs...

Thanks guys for clearing this up. Wish I had this kind of help with other comics..

Marron: “Uncle, read me a story!”

*the Vegetafrog prince and the Bulma princess*

17: ”..and they lived happily ever after. End.”

Marron: “Hey, uncle, will *I* ever find a handsome prince of my own?”

17 (flustered): “Well, umm, I doubt princes come to this island..unless they ride turtles, I dunno...”

*Marron sees 18 coming inside, runs up to her*

Marron: “Mom, uncle said princes don’t come to our island, is that true?”

18 *pulls his cheek* (to 17 quietly:Don’t say that to my daughter!) to Marron: “Your uncle's just kidding, sweetie, isn’t that right, 17?”

Marron *thinking on it* “Well, if my prince won’t come to me, I’ll just have to go and find him myself, right?” *thinking some more* “Ah! but where do I start? Where do I go? I need a horse!” *fluster* *fluster*

17: “I know where you can start.”

Marron *excited* “You do?”

17 “Yes, I can take you around the world in a heartbeat!”

18 *goes back to sweeping happily*

Marron *hugs him* “Yey! Let’s go find my prince together!”

17 *thinking* Well, i didn’t say we should go RIGHT AWAY...

(well, this is my interpretation anyway)

And now for the “Matching twins” post.

Edit: saiyanb gave me a link for the whole book, it’s called

ドラゴンボール 同人誌 【　ぼくらはヒール　】

I’ll look it up and maybe buy the whole thing and upload it.

This is one doujin I really liked and I hope others will too.

While hiding from Cell, 16 asks 18 about her and 17′s first awakening as cyborgs. 18 remembers how they rebelled against Gero and how he deactivated them with the remote, which is probably why they chose to kill him on the next activation. She seems to be content with her fate, since it probably gave her a stronger motive to live.

More to come!
