Saiyan fatherhood is very unique
No sabía que necesitaba ésto, pero ahora lo hago.
This is from my dbz/bnha crossover, where Goku adapted izuku
Read the story from Wattpad izuku son of Goku
We dont talk enough about the fact that Goku wasnt born strong. Gohan, Vegeta, Broly, Goten, Trunks... all born with innate strength. But Goku... Goku was weak. His entire life growing up, there was ALWAYS someone stronger than him.
For a saiyan to be outmatched by earthlings... ridiculous. But he was. Several times over. Every bit of strength Goku has, he had to work for, train relentlessly for. Its easy to forget because hes so strong now and continiously comes out ahead. But thats the POINT.
Vegeta grew up knowing he was the pride of the saiyan race, born strong, elite, a prodigy. He was hopelessly outmatched by frieza and some of his army, but for a saiyan, vegeta was the strongest (or so he believed).
Because the saiyans put so much belief into power you were born with, power you were destined to have. You either had strength or you didnt. And Goku didnt. So he was third class. His destiny wasnt power, it was weakness.
Its why Vegeta is so constantly thrown off by and therefore obsessed with Goku in the beginning. Because how could someone born so weak be THIS strong? It didnt make sense.
Then we have Gohan, born with incredible hidden reserves of power. Unlike Goku, Gohan was born with potential. His strength was always there. And sure, he had to work incredibly hard to unlock it but its a story arc we keep seeing repeated with gohan. Either its unlocked with anger or someone unlocks it for him (the grand elder, old kai, etc.)
And then Goten and Trunks, both super saiyan by the age of 7. Power came EASY to them. It was as natural as breathing. Goku, Vegeta, and even Gohan all struggled to reach super saiyan. It took a toll. But Trunks and Goten take that power from literal legend and make it a game.
No one has ever had to work as hard as Goku to achieve strength. And you can argue with me on this all day long if you want to. He didnt have hidden powers. There were no hidden reserves, no one to unlock his innate abilities. When he was a child, his unnatural strength compared to human made him special. But for a saiyan, goku was one of the lowest of their race.
Every bit of strength, every morsel of power in gokus body, was built through training. He didnt unlock hidden potentials, HE CREATED them. Its why Goku is the mortal who figures out how to unlock ultra instinct. Because he almost never won a battle purely based off a sheer power, no. Goku had to be smart, needed to be clever. He was forced to hone technique just as much as power, was taught by all his masters the importance of harnessing his mind as well as his body. He grew up meditating, sensing energy, learning not to rely on his eyes, but all his senses. He was training to filter out his own extra unnecessary movements all the way back when he first met Korin and then later again with Kami.
Goku lost fights a lot. All the time. But everytime he lost, he learned. Because he was forced too. Because when Goku lost, there was no backup. He was it. And so he would HAVE to come back stronger, have to find the way to win. Or everyone would be dead.
Maybe its just me but i just think theres something incredibly special about a saiyan labeled as "weak," a saiyan no one bothered to pay any mind to being the first to become legend. He avenged their entire race. That little boy with a tail, born with a power level of 2, became the strongest of them all.
Voy a robar algunos de estos headcanon para un oc.
Okay I'm tired of pretending to be insane so here are some reaaaally basics Zarbon's race concepts from me ≽^• ˕ • ྀི≼
(TW: (just in case)... +15 text and a little bit of religion thing)
Appearance:
• They are an alien species that belong to the planet Gurētsuh, the name of their race is called Gutokage (Gurēpufurūtsu = grapefruit + Tukage = lizard)
• They are a species which is evolved from what we know as Crocodylidae which have all kinds of lizards belonging to this family (Caimans, alligators, crocodiles, gharials, etc.) being giant reptiles
• They are humanoid reptiles between 2-3 meters (they can grow more), with a lot of muscle mass, tough skin with thick scales, a powerful upper jaw full of sharp teeth (depending on the species of this), eyes with an improved vision with the passage of its evolution, super acute hearing, speed even being so corpulent sometimes, these usually have tails, not all, the tail has been disappearing as they evolve.
• The tail was previously super useful when they had to swim, before they lived both on land and in water and the tail helped them to have balance in the water.
• Like all reptiles, they have a third eyelid for when they need to swim.
• Very few have retained the ability to swim perfectly, this is because on their planet after the "Evolution of beauty" you will rarely see one swimming
• They have super sharp nails capable of cutting flesh and bones easily.
• Most have long hair, rarely short, long and well-groomed hair indicates fertility and good genes.
• Their colors vary depending on the species/subspecies of these lizards, from green to even black (including both skin and hair)
• There are Gutokages with all kinds of bodies, tall, skinny, chubby, muscular, small, etc.
• There are differences between males and females, males are more robust than females normally (depending on their body type)
(More undercut ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ )
Dimorphism/Sex:
• This is a concept that I put together with the fact that they are named after citrus fruits, I have seen that many do this that they have no gender, so in my case, they are all born being male and female at the same time, they have both reproductive organs (Vagina and Penis), but some may look more feminine or masculine than others but that does not define their "gender".
• Example of this: We have a super masculine and large Gutokage that could perfectly be the stereotype of the dominant MALE, but he was the one who gave birth to his children and was the Bottom at the time of procreation.
( Example of dimorphism, both can be "male" or "female" depending. )
• The appearance of the Gutokage depends a lot on its species, the Gutokage of the "Crocodile" species are going to be larger and more robust, if it is a Gutokage of the "Dwarf Alligator" species it will be smaller and skinnier, but the dimorphism is still the same.
• Their reproduction is sexual, and they give birth to 1 to 5 offspring. Being reptiles, they lay eggs and depending on the Gutokage, it will be more painful, heavy or slow when releasing the eggs.
• The offspring (inside the egg) change appearance depending on the temperature, warm = more masculine features and cold = more feminine features.
Mating/Heat:
• Gutokage look for a mate between the months of February and September (in human months) and during these months, courtship, mating, nesting, incubation and hatching of eggs take place.
• Gutokage "reproduce only once in their life" (not really). They mate during a specific period called "courtship", which can last for days. During courtship, they perform elaborate displays to attract the other, these could be anything from showing off their luxuries, hunts, belongings, social status, etc. (Anything that makes the other Gutokage think it's a good idea to be the other's mate).
• Gutokage don't go with just anyone who appears around, they have a couple planned, days, weeks and months before proposing, these like any couple, have to get to know each other 100%, it's no joke, that's why it takes a lot of preparation to get a partner for life.
• When it comes to mating, these creatures are not brute beasts, quite the opposite, they are very romantic, they try to show trust and a safe/loving space to their partner.
• Even when they are in a couple or already have a family, they still continue to have sex, but many wait until the mating season to do so.
Clothing/Jewelry:
• They are creatures that wear clothes that highlight their attributes and beauty in their own way, we have from Gutokage with more Greek style clothing to Gutokage with armor 24/7, they really have varied styles that you see and know that this species will never lose in a clothing contest.
• They use a lot of jewelry, it is what characterizes them too, all kinds of jewelry are worth it, what they use the most and that is more religious are tiaras and earrings (better if these match) and something important about this:
• The earrings/tiara that Zarbon and Yuzun wear are special, that jewelry is created specifically for the Gutokage who do not want to return to their beast forms, they keep them with the idea that their beautiful forms ARE THE TRUE ONES and that makes them look that beautiful.
• Some Gutokage go barefoot, others wear all kinds of footwear depending on their clothing (more than one will have heels).
• They do not have gender stereotypes for clothing.
(example of some Gutokage most normal clothing (the images do not belong to me) )
Religion:
• As I said before, earrings and tiaras are religious accessories, this means that this jewelry is a symbol of miracles, it means protection, harmony with oneself and that not having this is a sin, since they are little they should have this, since they see it as a lack of respect, for them not having this is a sign of savagery, lack of culture and brutishness.
• And why is this? Well, they praise a God, for a reason it is religious. In their bible (yes, they have a bible) everything starts with them being wild creatures on the verge of death, until a little different Gutokage was born, he was smarter and to differentiate himself from the others he used accessories created by himself, this one in order to save his race, he made a deal with the "Powerful" to become the savior of his race, this was granted and the young Gutokage became a deity, having the charge of helping his race to be beings like him, that's why they use jewelry, it's a symbol of gratitude and honor to their god who saved them.
• This entity had children, which are "God of war", "God of fertility", "God of death" and "God of good luck"...
Okay, so far everything I have, I know that maybe it's a bit out of nowhere but, I can't see how nobody does anything, I hope you liked it, if you have anything else to add I'm all ears. ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )
Stanley Pines. My favorite antihero. I love him so much.
We have all seen the concept that being in a relationship with a villain is better than a hero. The hero will sacrifice you to save the world versus the villain who will sacrifice the world to save you.
Sanley Pines decides to do that for his Estranged Brother. He decides to risk the entire dimension so that he could get his brother back. His brother who
Stanley assumed hated him.
Had already not spoken to Stanley for 10 years.
upon speaking to him for the first time in 10 years, tries to send Stanley away permanently.
Stanley will always blame himself for losing in the first place. Even tho both times it was an accident.
And to do so Stanley who
has been considered by everybody, including himself, to be "the dumb twin"
was written off by his high school as a FUTURE FAILURE,
was disowned by his family for his mistake,
spends 30 years learning quantum mechanics, welding, circuitry, and numerous other academic/trade fields to bring his brother home. All things that were originally done by Tech Genius Fiddleford McGucket or GT kid Stanford who still had help from a literal actual God/demon. And STANLEY IS SUCCESSFUL.
Stanley SUCCESSFULY fakes his own death to make sure that nobody questions the disappearance of his brother in order to buy himself enough time to get his brother back. He did this so effectively that his own family bought it.
To be incredibly clear, Stanley does become a traditional hero when he sacrifices himself to save the world. But also, Stanley didn't do it to save the world. He did it to save his family, spesificaly his brother, niece and nephew. And he does it by perfectly impersonating the brother that He hasn't known in 40 years. He impersonates him so well that he TRICKS THE LITERAL ACTUAL DEITY THAT HIS BROTHER HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH. Because as dumb and aloof and unbothered as Stanley Pines tries to appear, he is genuinely one of the smartest and most caring characters in gravity falls. It's just not the book smarts and conventional love that everybody typically looks for. (Stanley censoring himself in front of the kids while also letting them break the law is hilarious and I love him)
This is not to say that Mr mystery did nothing wrong. There are a lot of things that he did wrong and a lot of things that he could have handled better but. That being said he is still my favorite because he is so human and still tries so hard. I don't know, man, there is something super endearing about the amount of effort he puts into his family. He's an incredibly well written character. And listen I understand that 30 years is a long time and if I was Stanford I would be mad but also, but if my supposed screw-up sibling managed to understand and rebuild a portal But I needed help from a literal actual god/demon to create I would be impressed as hell. And Ford only said thank you because he felt obligated to. (Which again is the hero mindset of all sacrifice you to save the world because Ford is sacrificing his relationship with Stanley again to save the world)(and Stanley just wants his brother back so even though Ford doesn't mean the apology Stan still takes it because at least it was said)
I know this comes off anti Ford, which is not how it's intended, I love Ford so much and I'll do a post for him later. (If I remember) I just feel like Stanley is slept on so much for being such a wonderful character. And gahhhhh this show is so good and I love these old men.
Another Place - Bastille
Some kudoichi longing + mandatory bkdk paralellisms:
so like.. what if both of them had long hair
Or what if both of them had short hair?
I lowkey want to read a fic where they both look identical and are constantly mixed up with one another. What if AFO’s underling’s constantly mistake Yoichi for him, embarrassingly much, and Yoichi is able to use this to his advantage?
how would Second and Third react?
extra doodles of the Shiggy twins together:
Ay, como los amo.
One for All Vestiges
Rebelichi
who do you headcanon to be older between kudoichi?
yoichi !!!!!!! yoichi is 100% older than kudou atleast in my perspective. and design wise kudou looks younger than him ??
(the white hair doesnt help lol)
plus kudou is described to be a young man by afo (so like its weird to imagine kudou to be older than him -cus he and yoichi are twins- , but like thats my personal headcanon)
