Yeah, I can definitely see it! Would thought Hugh Jackman would be a good candidate in his early Wolverine days, but he's gotten a little bit old for that role now.
I'm back to thinking about a live action Vegeta and.... Don't come for me but Milo Ventimiglia is it.
Am I crazy? Can anyone else see it hello. He's got the eyes, jaw, he's kind of short, he can definitely acquire the muscle mass 🔥
As part of the Frieza Force, your assigned role was to track down the legendary Super Saiyan. Travelling through the galaxy is almost second nature to you. The only problem is... you don't even remember where you came from... or who you are...

Photoshopped this 'book cover' with the help of someone else. Also my first attempt at fanart, lol.
Lunar eclipse of the heart
Summary: The economy is brutal, so you’re forced to rent an apartment in a dingy area. To feel safe, you decide to take a self-defense class. You’ll soon regret it though because your martial arts teacher is the rude and condescending Vegeta, who’s giving you an all-around hard time. But right after dropping out, something unexpected happens. Vegeta accidentally bonds with you under the full moon, filling both of your heads with the most outrageous and explicit sex dreams in the next few weeks to come. Vegeta has to fight hard to stay away from you, even though the two of you never seem to get along. Things get more complicated when you meet his former crush: a certain brilliant, blue-haired scientist, a supermodel beauty that few women can compete with.
Can you both withstand the forces of the moon, or will one of you cave?
Also, somewhere along the way, Vegeta uncovers more about his Saiyan heritage.
Warnings: porn with plot, enemies to lovers, and delicious self-indulgent chickflicky vibes. WIP.

My favorite Dragon Ball Z fics I've read in the past week or so (for anyone who might want to do some reading in the Fandom again to commemorate the passing of Akira Toriyama):
Strong Enough by Celestial_Alignment AO3
(Character study exploring Gohan's psyche in the aftermath of the fight with Cell and his father not returning home. You really feel inside Gohan's mind here, and if you're a fan of father/son dynamics, you'll appreciate Piccolo's presence in the fic, as well as Goku's importance in spite of it!)
The Night Before Life Goes On by Kendokao AO3
(A fic set in the day/night before the Androids are set to appear. It hits the heart of every member of the Son family as it bounces POVs and showcases dynamics in a way that is natural as each member handles the tension of the night. I loved this one!)
What You Wish For by Lovedmoviesb AO3
(Vegebul fic that does a little reminiscing, but also spends time in the presence giving us a peek into what goes on behind the scenes to keep their relationship together, and the amount of understanding between the couple. This one was sweet, and handled Vegeta really well for me, which is hard while also making him heartfelt!)
Ten Days To Full Bloom by Bananabluish AO3
(One of my favorite stories I've read recently, even outside of DBZ! It takes place in the days after Goku and Chi-Chi's wedding as they settle into newlywed life and Goku learns what falling in love is as he observes his wife in their day to day life. Super heartfelt and sweet. Portraying an innocent but complex love that highlights points from both characters in a way that works so well, while the flow of the story is effortless from point to point.)
You can read more of my feedback at the bottom of all of these stories in the comments from my AO3 profile, Onnecent_don0, where I've also written a couple Dragon Ball poems inspired by some of these stories! Please show some love to these authors if you read these in their comments!
