Piccolo and gohan’s mentor/mentee relationship is so fun to explore and I love it, but there is also a tragically missed opportunity in canon for a similar relationship between Goku and Kami and if I can’t have it I will Create it
Srsly he spends 3 years up on the lookout and besides the initial meeting they barely interact ;_; idk the idea of ‘bumbling kid befriends a reclusive and self-loathing god figure’ to be interesting. Not to mention a foil for Gohan and piccolo
Expansion on part of this but I wish I had a shorthand for when I say “I love Gohan and piccolo’s relationship,” to mean “I love the canon representation of it, bad stuff included, not at the expense of other familial relationships or interpretations of their bond.” Which sounds goofy and wordy, but the way this aspect of canon gets treated as God a lot of the time makes me (a fan of it) roll my eyes a lot
because while I love fluff as much as the next guy,, it’s hard not to associate their relationship with the big chunk of the fandom that just uses it to bash Goku or claim that “oh pic is his REAL dad” like no bro you’re missing canon by a mile and failing to see the nuance of flawed characters,,
And yeah it could be executed better in canon than what we got but bro that’s what fandom is for, to dig deeper into the meat and potatoes of what crumbs canon gives.
I’m not saying that’s what everyone should do I’m not your dad; fandom is about each person coming away from the media with a unique perspective. But I am weary of the fandom culture of endless, endless arguing over whether this or that character is valid; at least when it comes to randomly sending people asks about “um well Goku did [x] so your interpretation is wrong” like.
It’s dragon ball. I’m not saying don’t be critical or read deeper into media or engage in conversation about it, but I am saying that when the source is so rife with inconsistencies and bad writing as dragon ball, the level of infighting I see seems kind of silly
Anyway people can interpret stuff however they want it’s the wild west baybee
I probably sound so illiterate here it’s super late h. This is also not a callout of anyone specific dw

I have become insatiably addicted to this one sandwich my job makes. I could literally eat it for every meal I crave it constantly are they lacing it with something
If there are clearly no baggers and yr one of those people who just stands there staring at the cashier bagging your stuff without lifting a finger (except to load up your cart ofc) I wish you a very find your conscience.
You like Lord Huron? Their early work really captures the human terror of loneliness, personifying abandonment as various supernatural events. But when Long Lost came out in 2021, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The titular Long Lost single recontextualizes isolation as self-given power and liberation. Some people don’t like the retro Americana sound, but I think the album is fantastic!
Does anyone know a simple way to indent paragraphs on AO3? (I.e. no HTML or going in and manually editing hundreds and hundreds of paragraphs)
I have no idea why ‘tab’ indents don’t cross over onto the rich text thing but it’s very frustrating to deal with. I just want some simple indents dammit
