[Blonde would take a picture, Blue would feed.]

“E-eh? Launch! No! Please tell me ya didn’t take a picture. I don’t have my face on!”

So this is entirely a personal headcanon of mine, but I believe that Launch was raised with a very ‘traditional’ upbringing, which is why Blue Launch is so good at cooking and cleaning. It’s because her parents decided to raise her to become the ideal housewife. Blue Launch was the obedient version of Launch, and Blond Launch was the rebellious one. With that in mind, assuming that Launch was raised in the same manner, but was acknowledged as a boy instead, he was raised to do sports and business and finances by his parents to make sure he became a successful businessman and head of household.

Blue Launch still learned how to cook and clean, but this was through compassion and curiosity. He always wanted to help out with housework, even if he was told that wasn’t what he was supposed to be doing. He ends up being rather adept at cooking and cleaning, though not to the extent of his female counterpart.

Launch had his hair cut short by his parents, who wanted him to look like their standard of presentable. This meant that Launch sneezed far less, but it also meant that Blue and Blond had a lot more time as themselves.

One of the first things Blond Launch did when he ran away to be a criminal was grow out his hair. Partly as a ‘fuck you’ to his parents and partly as a way to disguise himself. As it grew out, he started sneezing far more, so he began tying it back in a ponytail with his ribbon.

Launch might be more notorious in this universe; though Blond Launch is most definitely a wanted criminal in Dragon Ball, it’s also possible that she’s not as widely known due to people being embarrassed at being threatened by a woman with a gun. People might have taken male Launch more seriously in that respect, and he might have been known more globally? (I personally can take or leave this headcanon, but it might be interesting if Man With A Gun Launch was known globally as a wanted criminal, but it’s entirely based on media sexism so…)

Fitting Launch into the Dragon Ball storyline is a little harder to do, given that Roshi wanted a ‘hot babe’, so… either we make this a universe where Roshi is attracted to men, or Krillin and Goku dress up Launch as a woman in their desperation. Alternatively, they find a new woman to bring along to Master Roshi and Launch tags along. (There’s probably a better way to fit Launch into the story but nothing else comes to mind at the moment.)

Blue Launch is able to train somewhat with Goku and Krillin, given that martial arts could have very well been part of his upbringing, though I don’t think he’d be up for Roshi’s training. Blue Launch is a little too pacifistic and Blond Launch has gun and knows how to punch, and that’s good enough for him.

Too many people in the fandom want Dragon Ball to be a gritty space opera to the point where they forget what makes the series so charming in the first place. It was, and still is at its core, a gag manga. It’s a mystical adventure. Not everything has to be so serious and logical. Let yourself enjoy the ride and stop trying to turn it into something it’s simply not. 

He has to look up ‘distinguished’ before he can answer. It takes him considerably less time to decipher the small text, and he feels a glow of pride.

Of all the friends Bulma had talked about, Trunks was pretty sure he spent the least amount of time around Launch, something he would note only after the crises of Cell and the androids were done and over with. Maybe it was because she couldn’t fly around and shoot energy blasts, but he found it to be a pretty lousy excuse on his part. Needless to say, the half-saiyan was happy to have an opportunity to talk to the bluenette woman, seeing it as yet another opportunity to learn about the people his mother talked about fondly.

This time he was given a berry pie! It was sweet and tart at the same time! More berry filling to crust is always appreciated!

His wide toothy grin was enough to prove that he liked it, but Nappa wasn’t the type who shied away from verbalizing his feelings. “Thanks! This is really good!”

[I like how it looks like a DB Legends card!]
