Goku and Vegeta are experienced with video games because of their sons. They even sometimes play them together. Goku's favorite is Sonic the Hedgehog and Vegeta's Mortal Kombat. Vegeta is usually the victor in their matches.
Bulma makes up to Vegeta by letting him give Bulla a middle name. He picks Eschalot of course. He chooses this name after a famous Saiyan princess. Princess Eschalot was known as the ideal Saiyan princess: strong, intelligent, brave, beautiful, and a fierce warrior. She refused to marry and decreed that she only would if the suitor beat her in combat. Not only did she defeat each and every one, she even killed them.
The gang sometimes go to Yamcha's baseball games. The kids even have his baseball cards.
Piccolo's favorite water is from watermelons. Dende's is coconut.
Trunks and Bulla are grossed out when they learn their mother and Uncle Yamcha used to date.
Goku sometimes stops by Tien's school to observe or participate in lessons.
Goku and Chichi planted their own apple tree in their backyard shortly after they married. It's still there all these years later.
Vegeta is very approving towards Mai as a match for Trunks, especially since finding out she was an assassin.
Goku likes to bring Chichi souvenirs from his adventures. They could be a stone from a foreign planet, a seashell from the ocean, or a flower from the mountains.
Vegeta is a secret Taylor Swift fan. He listens to her music when he's training or thinking by himself.
The children like Broly and love to play with him.
Goku can be a jealous husband in a subtle way. If he notices a man checking Chichi out or trying to flirt with her, he will hold her hand and refer to her as his wife or use endearing names towards her.
As far as the public is concerned, Vegeta's a cryptid. Everyone knows his name and recognize him as Bulma Briefs' husband, but that's about it. Nobody knows who exactly he is, where he came from, or how he and Bulma met and got together. It's even more difficult since journalists are too scared of him to approach him for an interview.
Since he can remember, Goku has had dreams where he is floating in a yellow void, surrounded by large shadows of people and muffled voices. Most of the time, he sees and hears a small and friendly woman, a large man with a deep voice, or a short child who likes to knock on glass. Goku doesn't realize until many years later that these are memories of his time in his incubator and the people he was seeing/hearing were his parents and young Raditz.
"Hungry like a Saiyan" or "eat like a Saiyan" are common metaphors among certain alien races.
Krillin stays in touch with his Buddhist roots. He visits temples, even his old temple where he was raised. He sometimes brings 18 and Marron with him.
While it's not shown, Launch does stay in touch with everyone.
Chichi speaks fluent Cantonese and Mandarin. She personally teaches Gohan and Goten from a young age. Goku has even picked up some terms here and there. When she’s angry enough, Chichi will curse in either language.
Wanna discuss how the Re:Zero storyline would look like (and how it would be marketed, lol) with any of the others as the main characters? I’ll go first:
For Emilia this is one of those wish-fulfillment romance books where a young, ostracized girl meets a powerful, mysterious, monstrous boy who is inexplicably devoted to her in his entirety. At first he doesn’t understand that she is a person and not a thing to be hoarded, but he soon realizes how he hurts her by failing to understand her as a human being and manages to change his monstrous ways for her sake. She and her maids have to teach him basic things like what is considered common courtesy, what is socially unacceptable, how to read… It is a story about a woman who has managed to be kind even in a world that seems intent on hurting her at every turn being rewarded for her kindness with a love interest who — admittedly has to learn to NOT be horribly toxic to her, but who does put in the work to do so, and who is always utterly in love with her.
For Roswaal it is a story about a very twisted protagonist who has been carefully making this time-traveling weapon of a boy in his own image — only for his plan to fail as his weapon gains a mind of its own and starts to rebel. And then as the rebellion succeeds, it becomes a story of a battle of wills, of him and the boy wrestling their wants and desires in order to achieve the best possible future for them both.
For Garfiel it’s a shonen sort of romp where things begin by his mysterious and powerful mentor character tearing down his walls and dragging him into the light practically kicking and screaming, introducing him into a world where he very well may not be the strongest thing alive anymore. He makes new friends, faces new foes, and grows stronger and stronger with each hurdle crossed as he trains and trains for his Captain and his Captain’s kind-hearted Lady, his reunited sister, the strong-willed girl he’s crushing on for years, his newfound brother figure — but all the while, and for all he looks up to the guy, it seems as though nobody can ever really put a finger on what exactly his Captain’s whole deal is.
For Beatrice it’s a story about how her life is turned around when the most annoying boy in existence shows up and gives her a way out of a prison that has kept her in her library for the past 400 years. This brat is very strange, even incomprehensible at times, but they slowly develop a brother-sister relationship as she grows more and more affectionate towards this mysterious stray brat of a contracted partner.
For Ram it’s some sort of sitcom surrounding the great resurrected Oni God, now living as the subordinate of the man who conquered her village years ago. Starring the loud boy next door with an obvious crush on her, her own conqueror/crush being a pathetic wet sock of a man with the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair, an incredibly annoying little brother figure who is her new coworker and also slightly insane, an alcoholic wet cat of a merchant, the young girl she is serving who slowly becomes her best friend — and also her comatose sister who has apparently always existed but whom she has no memory of past a few months ago.
For Petra it’s some sort of fairytale surrounding a young girl who is watching a mysterious stranger save her village time and time again. She thinks he’s just the coolest.

These bad boys can fit so many trope subversions in them
Getting excited cuz totk really is supporting my theory on wandering spirits heheheh
Omg that makes sense
I've had this thought for a while but only just realized I have a tumblr now so I can actually get that thought to reach ppl who'll share my level of madness.
So Sonic yeah? Pretty much the entire main cast are all anthropomorphic animals, excluding Eggman and his family tree. Across adaptations of Sonic, there's not a lot of consistency on what the general population outside of Sonic and the Gang are composed of. In shows like Boom, Prime, and the IDW comics, it's almost entirely animals, and Eggman's the odd one out:
But in other versions, where there are humans, Eggman still sticks out like a sore thumb:
It's also worth noting that in some Sonic games, there are regular, non-anthropomorphic animals in addition to anthropomorphic versions
(Yes, Vector is a crocodile not an alligator, but they're close enough taxonomically to be significant. You can't convince me that the difference between alligators and crocodiles in this universe is that one swims in freshwater and the other has bills to pay)
So here's my theory: there's cartoonish, anthropomorphic versions and realistic, non-anthropomorphic versions of the animals, right? So why wouldn't this extend to humans? After all, they're mammals just like hedgehogs and foxes are. AND THAT'S WHAT EGGMAN IS. He's an anthropomorphic animal like Sonic, it just happens to be that the animal he's based on is a human.
Thank you
Just eat the whole thing like popcorn while you maraton SEVERAL movies
Should be enough for me

a fun recurring theme in no mercy and the weird route is everyone around you trying so fucking hard to make sense of your motives and landing on a pov that suits their own needs/wants/hopes and then being very surprised when you don't act as that model predicted
the obvious ones like. Chara thinks you're getting stronger with them to bring the world to a clean end where they can't be hurt. Noelle thinks you're teaching her to be strong and to stand up for herself and make her needs known. Flowey thinks you're a coconspirator and Chara back to help him
but even the enemies - Berdly tries to play it into his whole weird dynamic with Noelle and turn it into a quasi-romantic rivalry, Undyne frames you as the enemy a heroine defeats in an anime with directly Evil motives who can be beaten by will and friendship
oh i forgot spamton who thinks you're after personal power and such and who is happy to ride along on your chaos to get his own personal power lmao
everyone sees in the relentless, unspeaking violence some sort of mirror of themself, the wants they may not admit to, the fears they hold, etc
i think sans is the only one who actually truly gets even a little bit of it, especially if you go for the fake spare and then come back. he understands - you probably were friends, once. you hold no true malice. you have no grand purpose.
but he has more dialogue to show you.
i'm really curious if anyone will similarly see what's actually going on with us in Deltarune. seam seems like an obvious shot, plus gaster ofc lmao. but it's way too early
in the meantime, i can't wait to see every character rationalize Kris Is Doing Random Murder lmao
Yeah,there really should have more of them
Given that she was literally born from a "goddess" I'm supprised there aren't more "Aloy is a demigod(des)" AUs
Chichi still thinks ALL Super Saiyans are delinquents (and yes that includes Frieza’s golden form) meanwhile Bulma defends the Super Saiyan forms.
Chichi considers Krillin to be just as tough as a Saiyan because of all that he’s been through.

The girls all agreed that Krillin hit the jackpot with Android 18.
According to Videl, Vegeta is a good cook.
Chichi still hasn’t forgiven Piccolo for kidnapping Gohan, but looks past it cause Gohan looks up to Piccolo.

The girls don’t like Paragus for what he did to Broly (Super).
Bulma thinks SSJ4 Vegeta is “cool looking” and “wild”.
Videl thinks Baby Vegeta is scary.
The girls don’t understand the purpose behind Frieza stretched out head in his 3rd form. They think he looks gross.
Bulma defends Vegeta as a father and husband, saying he’s a good dad to their kids.
Videl hopes that Yamcha will find love someday.
The girls think Garlic Jr is Pilaf
Bulma is glad Trunks doesn’t have a tail, fearful of what would happen to the house if her husband and kids could transform into a giant apes.
Bulma mistook Recoome for Android 16.
Videl is shocked to learn Piccolo was once a villain.
Videl wants a “foodie buddy” like Whis is to Bulma.
Bulma confirms she’s the breadwinner of her family while Vegeta is the protector.
The girls wonder and are envious that Android 18 will most likely stay young and beautiful forever.
Bulma wonders why Zamasu didn’t steal Vegeta’s body instead of Goku’s.
Videl did not know that Bulma and Yamcha used to date.
The girls criticized Baby Vegeta for constantly changing forms so quickly XD
Chichi respects Bulma for slapping Beerus across the face.
Chichi hopes to one day meet Bardock in Otherworld and thank him for bringing Goku to her
Also naruto's Canon birthday
No shade to the stuff that’s currently trending at this very moment or the people posting the things. But. Today is an anniversary of a variety of major world events and NONE of them are trending.
For those who are unaware:
