Cloud-9x - Confused

Finally feel like I can say something coherent, so here goes... I say this without a shred of exaggeration: Akira Toriyama was legitimately one of the most important creative figures of the last 50 years. His work, especially Dragon Ball, has influenced SO much even outside its own medium. Movies, TV, cartoons, comic books, video games, MUSIC... all of it. You can see his fingerprints in so many other works. Even now, artists and writers, voice actors and animators, musicians and game devs are all mourning him and reflecting on the impact he had on their own work. Titans of anime and manga are sharing in this pain. The craziest thing about this though? The humility he had in spite of it. He was always reluctant to be in the spotlight, preferred to keep his head down and just work, never really worried that much about public perception of himself. Part of what makes him such an icon, man. Losing him is losing a piece of our shared history. It's something that resonates deep in the hearts of everyone his work touched. This is just... such a loss. And I can't even begin to imagine what his family is going through right now. Praying for them all. Rest in Peace to a literal Legend, an absolute Icon, and a personal inspiration in more ways than I could ever express properly.

May you show and teach me your ways of living? Kaleesh culture sounds fascinating

"I would gladly show you our ways! Anyone who proves to be a competent warrior will always have a seat at our tables, in the halls of our ancestors." The warlord paused for a moment, considering where to begin.

"There are three things we hold dear, the Kaleesh. At least, where I come from. Ronderu sees things a bit differently than I, and that great purple gargoyle Sk'ar is married to the concept of money. They are," and he held up one finger, "the clan. The family is the highest priority. All else comes second. The second," he said, holding up another finger, "is war. It is a great honor to die in battle, the flame of passion in your heart. War and competition have driven us since our earliest days, and saved us when the Huk invaded. Spite is indeed the most excellent motivator. The third," he said, sticking out his second thumb, "is the dead. The dead have great meaning to us, as they become gods. A Kaleesh home will oft have one or more shrines dedicated to the deceased family members, where one prays to the ancestors for luck, courage, and happiness. Spurning the ancestors will invite retaliation, and only a fool would anger the gods."

"There are also a great many things that hold importance to Kaleesh, but I have found these three things across Kalee. We are wired for love and war, it seems, and I pity any who would stand in the way of that."

Sweet release.

So there's this AU I have with a friend (I draw and they write) where Zamasu finds somehow himself in Hell after dying and he meets Z Gogeta. That's it, that's the premise. And I love them (I swear it all started with "they both have halos" LMAO).

→ Turns out their dynamic would be hilarious and it's awesome

So may I present to you: Them.

Need to say that it is specifically Z Gogeta and not the DBS one. Entirely based on headcanons but the AU just works better that way!
