I am in a state of perpetual whatever that is

Waking Up - comic with a little comedy to help heal me rn

I mean my German-Russian/Scandinavian family is just straightforward and doesn’t show a lot of emotion because that’s what we do?

It’s like how in some cultures any eye contact at all is rude and those people have a difficult time adjusting to cultures where eye contact is expected.

Like armchair diagnosing people based on surface level behaviors is kind of rude also in my opinion.

I also love Trunks/Goten.

But what I REALLY want is some dark-ish Truten with an emphasis on Saiyan culture.

Like, Gohan chooses to emphasize his human half. But Trunks and Goten embrace their Saiyan heritage. Goten very much holding the idea that Trunk is his prince and Vegeta his king. Goten who Vegeta made sure learned the Saiyan language and culture along with his own kids. Trunks, who thinks about himself as Prince of all Saiyans, though he's a but more chill about it than Vegeta.

The boys either leaving Earth to find more Saiyans or on a quest to wish back the Saiyan homeworld. Them fighting, vicious and ruthless like Saiyans. Tempered but that battle-lust still there, in contrast to Gohan. Vegeta-sai AU, with Goten as third class and Trunks as Prince.

Goten being a bearer and Wanting to bear Trunks' children. More than that, being PROUD to do so, because he sees it as contributing to the Saiyan race and the royal house.

Trunks: *doing paper work in his office* "damn this stinks I have to get all of this done by tonight"

Goten: *in his office for some reason* "wanna know what really stinks"

Trunks: "what?"

Goten: *farts*

(Also, while he's not the very sentimental type, I think even he would be a little touched that he and Bulma, his very oldest friend, are part of the same family now.)

Bahaha of course Goku had really nothing else on his mind but food. I totally agree about the one family thing though. There was that one time in DBZ that Bulma mused about how she missed her chance with Goku, so I think that she would look at the newlyweds TruTen and look back at that moment and realize Goku and her will become family one way or another. Like there's something magnetic about her genes and his genes and there's nothing they could really do to stop their descendants from getting along and ultimately fusing the two families into one. She would think that fate really has it way of turning things out, and she can't say she mind it one bit as she is now as happy as she could be.

Goku of course wouldn't think all that, but yeah he would all be like, "Gosh Bulma and Vegeta, I guess being in-laws makes us family now!" Vegeta would be absolutely fuming and seething at the statement and would only calm down once he thinks about his two sons (yes Vegeta sees Goten as one of his own in my eyes. Not in a too sentimental and accepting way but he tolerates the kid enough and then eventually you see a Vegeta acknowleging Goten by his name and caring about the boy's opinion of himself such as asking if Goten likes his moustache in GT.) And Vegeta obviously cares about Trunks' happiness and well-being too, so if he said something to object to this idea ("You're enamoured with this dumb brat?") and Trunks stood up during dinner with Goten's greasy, food-scattered fingers intertwined with his own, shouting, "But Daddy Papa I love him!", he would discard all of his past efforts to give a shit about his son's romantic interest and just, "Alright do whatever you want, at least he's a warrior and you're a warrior." (something something Saiyan women being fiery and with fighting spirits something something Vegeta doesn't know which of them is the woman in this case but it's not applicable anyway because they're both men but oh well he ran out of fucks to give at this point).

But he used his (fake) disapproving overprotective dad attitude to force them to give him something in order to get his approval of their relationship. He settled with them making sure the kids have traditional Saiyan names. They could very well be named 'Son Gohan the Third' or 'Vegeta the Fifth', but I took the liberty to explore other vegetable names.

Chichi took a lot of convincing before she could begin to accept the idea that her son is into men/his best friend. She would freak out over not having anymore grandchildren. When they managed to assure her she will have a grandkid with the power of Shenlong, she worries that the kid would fade away and vanish should Shenlong's existence is erased or some other threats to the universe. Only when she holds the little baby girl breathing and living and squeaking in her arms is her mind at ease.
