// SO. I'll be completely honest. I didn't get Broly's appeal in the broader fandom whatsoever up until I tuned into your portrayal of him. The facets you've drawn focus to helped me Get It-- my favorite being the impact of his upbringing, especially in regards to Paragus and that crown of his. Living as exiles from a destroyed planet must be hard enough, but add on all that additional baggage, and I see why this scary space gorilla is so hostile... aside from also being a bit of a bastard, but that's beside the point. It's the cracks in the foundation, for me-- and how he seems to think they're gone now that he's filled them with the rubble from everything he can destroy. Maybe someone, someday, will put it through a stress test. ;) Anytime I see Z Broly now, I think of your blog, and a lil ✨ fires off in my neurons!!
go on anon (or not) and tell me your favorite detail about my muse!
Tumblr media
( alsfjg that’s entirely valid my good person, I forgot he even existed for a whole ten years or so until I just watched a few clips of him on youtube and just kinda went ‘ huh.. i remember how much i loved seeing that guy beat the fuck outta the other guys. ‘ and then he decided to move into my brain. )
( I.. have thought.. so much on his upbringing and just adding in bits of my own ideas and like a sprinkle of self-indulgence is just a friggin’ potluck. While maybe not every shitty thing that could happen to his life did, it is still a very hellish and traumatic upbringing to constantly be on the move or have to survive in the untamed wilderness of a planet until Paragus figured a way off or gathered resources/contacts to make it possible. All the while, Broly had to contend with that and there have absolutely been encounters where his naivety and gentler spirit as a child was taken advantage of and he learned hard lessons from it. )
( Being a bastard became more and more of a byproduct for his shitty life though it doesn’t excuse him as I’ll keep saying aldjg. Now those cracks? Dude.. you get it. thats what I love so much about it. He’s just about impervious to outward attacks and flat out physical brawls but beneath that toughened hide? Lurking like a pile of glass is his psyche stained by the blood he spilled for every mistake and broken trust he’s suffered from enemies, friends and his own father. It’s an entire fucking mess and the fact he never says a single word about it is just both a pain but also an interesting aspect to play at when the chance arrives. )
( he’s only ever known rubble. He’s only ever known how to keep shoving it into those cracks and say he’s healed. He’s not meant to love, to create, to live. he’s only meant to be used as a tool and he was used as one alright. What can he do than to keep shoveling those rubbles of the possible bridges he managed to forge but burned at his own hand. Shove more rocks into them, ignore the pressure that threatens to break him from within. Totally not a fucking metaphor for how violent his Legendary transformation is lmfao or the fact he has to shed all that mass in a pretty horrific and gory way bc idk I’m fucking like that. Blame that on some skinwalker bullshit. )
( :3 ... do it. )
( AFLSLGJ IM. ??? IM HONORED???????? ;;;;;;;;;;;;A;;;;;;;;;;;; omfg, I’m gonna fucking cry here and its all your fault but thank you. I will wear this badge with honor bc omfg this stuipd fucking space gorilla has just been nothing but a menace but I love him anyway. )
