Any Thoughts? - Blog Posts

I've always noticed how compared to other fandoms DBZ doesn't have nearly as many AU's

Now, of course they do have DBZ AR and the DB Multiverse comics. But I think the biggest difference is they aren't blogs and they don't call themselves an 'AU'.

My hypothesis on why this is, is probably the most accurate. Dragon ball has been around for years and has a big fanbase, but most of those fans are now adults instead of children and teens like Undertale's fans.

But with Dragon Ball Diama I think that this could bring a younger audience to DBZ. I would love this and think it would be really cool for people to use their imagination and creativity for something fun, but I fear the older fanbase will heavily clash with the younger ones.

What are your thoughts?

Hi, so I'm fully aware that I don't post much in this blog often and might post a random post when I ever want to, however... With my favorite x Yanqing ships being either Yanqing x misha or Yanqing × Yunli and that fact I am a multi shipper myself... Alright, here me out, this might sound off... But what about Yanqing × Misha × Yunli?... Don't ask me why I come up with this ship idea, I just love those two ships so much that I decided, "Hey, why not put them in a three people relationship?" I just can't help but imagine Misha trying to stop his B̶o̶y̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶ a̶n̶d̶ G̶i̶r̶l̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶ I mean- friends from bickering and buying them either ice cream or some skewers to both calm them down. He is really such a good boy "friend" material there, let me tell you🥰🤩 Or imagine Yanqing overthinking about his sexuality or stuff like that and His D̶a̶d̶ I mean- General helping him figuring it out, giving him good advice or just willing to accept whoever Yanqing loves. I feel like Jingyuan would allow a threesome wedding for His son and his future H̶u̶s̶b̶a̶n̶d̶ a̶n̶d̶ W̶i̶f̶e̶ when they grow up to be adults. And I was also thinking of making an AU where Misha was instead a Xianzhou native to make this ship into reality, if I ever have the motivation or full understatement of the characters themselves that is. (Didn't actually finished most part of the Penacony Chapter and didn't start the new Xianzhou arc. Will probably do it soon. If my builds for my characters are good enough to beat the enemies and bosses in the game that is😭).

So any thoughts on the idea? It's ok if you don't want to ship it. It's your choice after all whether to like it or not. I fully respect that.

I might have seen this said before, on a different post, but I couldn't find it, so I'm just gonna say a few words on this, partially because of that and partially because it's been ages since I've last read the series, despite it being ingrained into my head.

Almost all of the characters in TUC have moments where they are genuine assholes. Gregor has a few points where he says some genuinely disrespectful shit. Luxa, as well as most of the other humans (including Gregor, although arguably to a lesser extent), are deeply prejudiced against the gnawers. Ripred, is, well, Ripred (look, I love him, we all do, but he's a dick).

Even Vikus, arguably one of the nicest characters in the series, admires Sandwich (I think, been a while), a man who literally used poison to commit genocide in the name of stealing land that didn't belong to him.

The only characters I can think of in TUC that don't have flaws are the ones who also have the least lines: Aurora, Dulcet, Miravet. Oh, and all of those characters? Probably also prejudiced against gnawers, just never explicitly stated (to my knowledge), probably due to their obscene lack of lines. Of course there are characters like Lizzie and Hazard, who are literal fucking children so as nice as they are, I think it's safe to say they can't really be counted up here. (Should probably also mention that Gregor and Luxa are also children, just ones that were forced to grow up faster, sadly).

Then again, all of these characters have redeeming qualities. Gregor can be disrespectful at times, but that's mainly because of the stress placed upon him by the various bullshit situations he has to go through, and he usually apologizes after. Luxa and all the humans are deeply prejudiced (actually, I should probably add the fliers might be in that category too), but they are basically raised from birth to hate and kill gnawers, and vice versa. plus, it's shown that despite what is practically being brainwashed from birth, they can grow and change to overcome their own bigotry and accept gnawers as genuine people, as well as friends.

And yes, Ripred, the glorious bastard himself, is a dick. But he's also a war veteran who's lost his family, and most of the respect from his people, meaning he mainly works with humans, who tend to treat him with suspicion, if not outright hostility (until they get to know him). And he makes up for it by letting his guard down at times to be a father to the traumatized pups that dragged him into their pack.

Point is, flawed characters are one of the things that make TUC so great. They're not few and hid away either, they're everywhere, with visible flaws. If you want to make a good character, TUC is a great series to use as an example. Everything casts a shadow, just like every character has a flaw. If they don't, you probably just can't see them from your angle. And if they don't? Like, at all? Give them some, just make sure the shadow they cast matches up with the object itself.

The Beyonder rant of sorts

Honestly I’m think what if The Beyonder was some sort of subspecies to The Watchers, sort of like a high rank legionnaires or something in case they don’t have enough time to gather information from planets beyond their reach. Also I feel really bad for The Beyonder for some reason, Lunella literally snapped at him, I get it, he’s kind of a sick at times and his wiki page literally says he’s a trickster. But Lunella feels bad for snapping at him, I think she genuinely wants to be friends with him since S2 EP1 since they had bonding time..ngl he pulls off braids really well.

Bro I just realized that it’s always the blad kids that get traumatized like bruhhh💀💀💀
