Zutara Antis Don't Know What a Toxic Relationship Actually Is

I just saw a Vegebul fan Tumblr user say that Vegebul can't be compared to Zutara because Zutara is toxic and Bulma was not trying to fix Vegeta🤡

As a Vegebul fan, I will proudly say without shame that this Tumblr user is an idiot with no brain. I am tired of seeing stupidity on Tumblr. In what world can you say that Zutara is toxic yet spew nonsense that Vegebul of all DBZ ships is healthier! Vegeta is the same man who was willing to let his baby mama and infant son die and nearly killed his wife when he decided family life was making him too soft in the Buu saga. Zuko was never the level of villain Vegeta was and never treated Katara that badly even when he was her effing enemy!!! 🤡

When has Vegeta ever supported Bulma the way Zuko supported Katara???

Unlike Bulma, Katara WOULD NEVER get with Zuko and spread her legs while he was still an antagonist and wanted to capture Aang!

Katara would never get with a guy who threatened to kill her and showed no sign of remorse either!!!

As for Bulma was not trying to fix Vegeta...so true! She gave him free housing, free food, free training equipment and free sex while he was still an egotistical bastard! She never calls him out for his horrible behaviour (eg. letting Cell become perfect and attacking her future son) or being a less-than-decent dad for Trunks. What a woman!

When has Vegeta ever shown any on-screen attempts to reconcile with Bulma for his hurtful actions? Unlike Vegeta, Zuko had to work for it! On-screen!!! For all of us to see Katara chew him out!!!

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Every day I am amazed at Zutara antis who call Zutara toxic. Here is a guy who wronged and hurt a girl in the past that:

redeems himself and atones

proactively works to earn her forgiveness

provides emotional support and lets her be emotionally vulnerable

willing to be emotionally open with her

never lashes out even when she attacks him

sacrifices himself for her

works hard to redeem his nation that oppressed her people

genuinely cares about her and believes in her abilities

actively befriends and makes amends with all her loved ones whom he also hurt (which includes a possible love interest)

ALL ON SCREEN! No hand-waving his past hurtful actions or having character relationship development off-screen. No enabling of bad behaviour. Vegebul needed almost ten years to be a truly healthy relationship. Zuko only needed a few episodes for him and Katara to become great friends. Zutara >>> Vegebul.

In what world is this TOXIC?? Sounds pretty healthy to me! I want a Zuko for a husband (minus the enemy part lol). Who would choose Vegeta over Zuko for a love interest?? Well, I guess some people dig deadbeat husbands ;)

Both Vegebul and Zutara started off on bad terms and both shows ended with both pairs having a great relationship. The difference is that Vegebul began as a toxic relationship vs Zutara having a healthy dynamic once they became friends when Katara forgave Zuko. Zutara never had any romantic dealings while they were enemies. And even when Katara was rightfully antagonistic towards Zuko, Zutara treated each other better than Vegeta did Bulma. Just compare Katara saving a falling Zuko vs Vegeta who did nothing to save Trunks and Bulma.

I have a whole essay about vegeta in me but my phone is at 9% so youre all spared right now

#I mean is it really a surprise I like the guy? look at him and look at what you know about me💙#and to make a botched summary: hes like one of those hypothetical “what if the villain joined the good guys” scenario except its real #the fact that hes also morally abhorrant for 80% of his screentime is both great and the reason why he can never get a single W #bc him winning against either a major antagonist OR protagonist wouldve validated the wrong morals he introduced in the saiyan saga #that goku fought hard to invalidate #anyway long story short: geets is a character meant to be broken. both physically and out of his own mind #and it was really cathartic to see him make an active choice (and not reactionnary like for future trunks) to protect those he came to love #AND recognize and accept goku's superiority at the sunset of the series in the last major battle #AND HIM LOSING BITS AND BITS OF HIS ARMOR THRU THE COURSE OF THE SERIES UNTIL HE STRAIGHT UP ENDS UP IN HUMAN CLOTHES IN THE EPILOGUE #IT WAS A GREAT DETAIL I LOVED (and I Fucking Hate when post buu they still put him in that fucking cell saga armor I hate it)#anyway love this character. the vegetable.#unless you also love him in which case I Hate Him. and if you talk to me about super Im Going To Kill You #tagging later

"Hey Dad, Buu and Tommy. Merry Christmas." Greeted Videl Satan as she was holding Pan in her arms. (@muses-of-the-memory)

"Hi, Miss Videl." Tommy greeted towards the daughter of Hercule Satan.

"Merry Christmas, Hercule's daughter." Majin Buu said wearing his Santa costume for the holidays. "Mr. Satan, Videl's here with Pan-Pan!"

"I heard ya, Buu! Comin' down!" Hercule shouted as he beamed happily to see his daughter and granddaughter at their home. "Come in, Videl. You even brought little Pan for the holidays." He said seeing his granddaughter. Bee gets up and woofs getting their attention.

Nanwum VII Update: 72,197

I'm starting to run out of gas, which is probably not a big deal since I already cleared 50k, but this bears out my whole strategy of building an early lead. My intention was to pull down 2k per day from the 13th to the end of the month, and I'm still on track, but on the 14th I fell a little behind and only got to 1709. It's not a problem, since I got caught up, but I need to be careful from here if I want to make it to 100k. Not that I need 100k, but I like bragging rights.

To reward myself for the insane wordcounts I put in earlier this month, I decided to watch all of the recent DBZ review videos that TotallyNotMark put up. You know, the ones with the new Team Four Star DBZA clips in them. I'd already watched the "Buu Bits" in a separate compilation video, but now I'm finally checking out the review and...

I don't know, there's a lot of good material in these things. The editing is top notch, and you could play these videos with the sound off and still enjoy it just as an hours-long DBZ highlight reel. And Mark has a lot of salient insights on the series. I particularly liked his analysis of Gohan and Videl's dynamic, and it's also refreshing to see a DBZ fan who, you know, actually likes the show. Like, he's gushing over Vegeta's character arc, or talking about how great the androids and Cell are without a bunch of qualifiers, and it's just refreshing to see that.

That having been said, the writing for these videos often ends up sounding like this:

Like, arguably, you can't do a six-hour review of a cartoon show without being a little pretentious, but there's sentences in these videos where it feels like YouTube is paying Mark by the word.

Also, he tends to make these off-the-cuff style remarks, like he's discussing creative decisions about making the video in the video. I get that too. I write my blog with that same stream-of-consciousness energy, because I really am making this up as I go. It's a blog, there's not gonna be a second draft. But he's doing a YouTube video, and there's a lot of production values involved and the work is pretty polished. I don't think it makes a lot of sense for him to talk about how the sausage is made. Just give me the sausage, which is footage of the cartoon with a guy telling me what he liked about it.

I've sort of had this fascination with the writing style throughout the series, and I think if I had to spoof it, I'd go with something like this:

"Again, as I said before earlier in this video, when I started this review, I wanted to avoid sounding pretentious, an attribute the likes of which can be disastrous for the making of a successful review. But, having established that fact firmly and decisviely, perhaps even conclusively--not withstanding earlier comments made about the length of Piccolo's cape, which is a subject for another day-- I can say with great certainty that Goku and Vegeta do indeed comprise a dramaturgical dyad, not only upon which the series depends upon, but through which we can see the true genius of one of the most influential manga authors of all time."

And while you hear this word salad, there's a cool shot of Vegeta beating up Pui Pui or something.

The weird thing is that I didn't really pick up on this in his GT, Super, or OG Dragon Ball review videos. It's almost like he's purposely writing more stuff so he has room for all the cool footage.

Right now I'm in the tail end of the Buu Saga, and while I give him credit for being diplomatic about it, Mark still falls into the same trap I see with a lot of critiques of the Buu Saga: They keep comparing the existing text with some hypothetical better story that they assumed Toriyama was planning to write instead, before he changed his mind.

I think everyone has run across this before. People saw Gohan take the main-character role after the Cell Games and assumed this was a guarantee. When Gohan gets demoted and Goku takes the lead again, they cry foul and complain about how Toriyama failed to make it work, or he just plain gave up. There's an old fan rumor about how he was "forced" to put Goku back in charge because of backlash from angry fans, but this is absurd on its face.

This leads to critiques of the Buu Saga that operate on the premise that there's some idealized "correct" version of the story, where Gohan trains really hard, beats Buu all by himself, and so on. Whenever the published version of the story deviates from this "correct" version, critics suggest that Toriyama got his wires crossed, and blame everything on the awkward pivot back to Goku.

To me, that doesn't make sense. "Gohan and the Next Generation defeat Buu" is a what-if fan theory. Maybe it's better than what we ended up getting, but it's not fair to review the published work by comparing it to a hypothetical draft that may never have existed. That's like if a food critic gave a steakhouse a bad rating because he thought it was a pizzeria and he's still mad that his sirloin didn't have anchovies on it.

When you look at the Buu Saga as it was actually presented, the throughline is clearly not about passing the torch to the kids, because they all get jobbed out and killed. So it's dumb to review the thing and complain that the Gotenks stuff is pointless, and Gohan's power up is unearned, and his loss to Super Buu really sucks the life out of the story, and gosh, this is a really terrible passing-the-torch story. Well that's because it's not a passing-the-torch story. It's a story about Goku trying to pass the torch, failing, and discovering that he still has a place in the world after all. The "torch" he was trying to pass was his identity and personal responsibility, things he can't just confer on someone else.

You can't just tell someone else they're the new protagonist of your story and now they have to go do your job and feed your pets while you play video games. Everyone talks about Vegeta going Majin as a manifestation of his mid-life crisis, but Goku's mid-life crisis was him dying at age 30 and nope-ing his way out of life to train in Valhalla for the rest of eternity. The Buu Saga forced him to accept that this was a mistake, which is why he doesn't just drink a vial full of heart-virus juice after the story ends. He's back in the world of the living and this time he knows he needs to stay there.

And when you look at it from that perspective, suddenly all the Gotenks/Elder Kai Ritual stuff makes a lot more sense as awkward farce. It's anticlimactic and unsatisfying because none of those plans were ever going to work. Nothing worked until Goku and Vegeta both got their heads out of their asses and worked together. The world didn't need martyrs or torch-passings or a 'next generation', it needed adults to put their personal feelings aside for the greater good.

#nanwum vii #i should probably expand these buu saga thoughts into a standalone post #oh well

Hanging with Mr. Buu (RP with mrxfatxbuu)

@mrxfatxbuu

Both Goten and Trunks were finished with school today. They thought what better way to spend some time together after school than having to hang out with their favorite Majin friend (actually their only favorite Majin friend), Majin Buu?

Of course, before having to play with Majin Buu and Tommy, they had to get permission from Hercule Satan as they appeared at the door of the Satan Mansion.

“Hi, Mr. Satan!” Goten and Trunks shouted and greeted to the World Champion.

Tumblr why are you recommending me VegeBul blogs

Stop

Right now

#I don’t hate the ship #I just don’t care for the fact that it overshadows ever other in the fandom #Dragon Ball fandom is hyper saturated with Vegeta and VegeBul #said stans also typically ignore that the reason Vegeta and Bulma work together #is because both are so full of shit #genocidal ego at least gets a character arc #Bulma’s purported growth as a person at least with regards to the ship is wholly relegated #to the Post Cell Games time skip #assuming she had any growth #since DBS fucking opens with her celebrating what she claims is her 35th birthday #she’s five years older than Goku. Goku was 34-35 in the Buu Saga #she’s full of shit #I say that with affection to her as a character #but she’s full of shit

The Dark Prince Returns [Vegeta & Tifa] @badassbarmaid

cc-vegeta “Stupid girl, there is no resisting Master Babidi’s plan. So you will fight me Tifa, right here and now! Or maybe after I destroy these people in the tournament stands, including your disposable Earthling family!” // Majin Vegeta, actually brainwashed by Babidi

badassbarmaid answered:

The way Prince Vegeta spoke sent shivers down her spine. There was no way he meant everything he said. It had to be because of whatever happened to him, right? She didn't know all the details, but she could smell the difference in the air.

Taking a defensive stance, her eyes narrowed and she frowned.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm not going to let you hurt anyone else. The real you wouldn't want that to happen." Especially since Bulma was in the audience; didn't he care for her?

“I’m sorry Tifa, we followed the Supreme Kai to where those guys took my energy. My dad, Piccolo and Krillin got turned to stone by this Demon King Dabura’s spit, and his leader the wizard Babidi, took over Vegeta’s mind. See that M on his forehead? That’s Babidi’s branding, it’s on Dabura too. They’re making us fight so they can use that energy to revive Majin Buu,” Gohan explained to Tifa.

“It’s a monstrosity with unbelievable power, it will be the end of the universe if he gets revived. So we must prevent it at all costs, you must not fight him,” the Supreme Kai added. Unfortunately it was easier said than done, as the transformed Majin Vegeta was charging up an energy blast aimed at the audience to try and taunt Tifa to fight him.

“You won’t let me hurt anyone else? How disappointing. Those are the words of a cowardly weakling like the rest of these Earthlings. The real me wouldn’t want this? You’re wrong, girl, this is the real me! A true Saiyan warrior!” Vegeta declared, and in his anger he lost control and shot the ki blast into the crowd.

Gohan who was closest, swiftly got in between and deflected the ki blast away. Unfortunately, it still blew up the top corner of the stands along with the people that were there, near Bulma and the rest of their loved ones too. “That’s enough Vegeta! If you want to fight, fight me! Leave Tifa and the others out of this!”

“Do not interfere, Gohan! I only desire to fight the strongest one here, and that is not you. It’s Tifa!” Vegeta yell as he let out a blast of power. Babidi then ordered him to kill the Supreme Kai to stop his meddling. “Master Babidi, it will be a waste to kill the Supreme Kai. Would you not what the honour of doing that yourself? Even better, let him experience the terror of Majin Buu once again before he dies by your hand.”

With that reasoning, Vegeta was allowed to do as he pleased, he would still be gathering energy for Majin Buu regardless. “Give me a direct answer, Tifa. Will you fight me or not?” he demanded as he pointed a finger at Tifa in declaration.

Otherworldly Favour [Gohan x Tifa | HanTi, Drabble]

// with @badassbarmaid + wanted to start/time it around Xmas too!

-

Sometime after Majin Buu was destroyed, Gohan had his father Goku teleport him to the Sacred Land of the Kai’s. “Sorry about the sudden visit, Supreme Kai. Could I ask for a favour?” he asked.

“Of course, you helped save the universe after all. I overheard that Goku asked King Yemma to reincarnate Buu as a good person. So, what can I do for you?” the Supreme Kai answered, curious to Gohan’s favour.

“I’m lucky to have my family around, even recently with my dad being revived thanks to the Elder Kai. But Tifa, she never got that from her birth parents, I was wondering if you could pull some strings so she can meet them? She deserves at least that much,” Gohan explained, hoping it wasn’t too big of an ask.

“I agree, she played an important role in taking down Majin Buu as well. It may take some time to track down their souls, but it is not impossible,” the Supreme Kai replied with a smile. “You are a good person and friend Gohan, even this favour you ask is selfless. So once that is arranged, would you like to accompany Tifa to meet them?”

“No thank you, I want Tifa to have that quality time with her parents, and the last thing I want is for them to think I’m dating her if I tagged along haha,” Gohan replied with a blush and laugh, then made a slight bow in gratitude. “Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it, Tifa would too, just don’t let her know that you got the idea from me, I feel I may have been too invasive…”

“Very well, it will be done as you wish.” With that said then a brief exchange with Goku, Gohan was teleported back to Earth with Goku’s instant transmission.

“So strong and smart, yet still naïve. I doubt Tifa would believe I the Supreme Kai thought of such an idea myself, but I suppose we will see,” the Supreme Kai thought to himself. Yet it was still incredible to know, that the saviours of the universe came down to such mortal youths.

"Yo, yo! Majin Buu, I got candy." Gotenks spoke to his round bellied Majin friend. (@fusionxkidxgotenks)

Majin Buu was asleep on the ground after having to play with Bee and Tommy, but then starts to awaken when hearing Gotenks has candy and gets up.

"Gotenks, you have candy for Buu?" Majin Buu asked.
