I literally dont know how to continue explaining to people that part of the reason Goku decided to stay dead was because Gohan hated fighting.
He didnt know this until cell. He literally had no idea. Gohan NEVER gave any indication whatsoever. Couple that with the fact Bulma pointed out most of people threatening the Earth during that point in time were all people wanting Goku. The saiyans. Frieza. The androids. Doctor Gero. Cell.
All because of Goku. Its not his fault but his very existence consistently put the Earth in danger. He truly believed Earth would be safer without him and therefore, gohan wouldnt be consistently placed into battle.
Because Goku didnt know gohan hated fighting. But once he knew came the very interwoven nature of these threats he brought making his own son fight because gohan felt he HAD to. Not because he wanted to. For goku, protecting the earth always aligned with his own love for fighting. But gohan fought out of necessity, out of the very idea that they couldnt afford to do it without him. He has this power he didnt ask for so he must use it right? Because it would be selfish if he didnt.
But goku... goku thought gohan was like him. Gohan WANTED to return to help fight vegeta. He WANTED to go to namek. He WANTED to stay and fight after piccolo almost died to frieza. Goku didnt see gohan train that first year. Didnt witness what it took to make gohan a fighter. All he saw was his son who now was strong and wanted to join the fight like his dad. And he knows gohan is more powerful than them, knows he can stop cell, FELT IT. Gohan has to defeat cell because no one else can. So he thinks if gohan gets angry enough fighting cell, itll be the answer. Because thats how its always been for goku. And in thirty seconds piccolo makes him realize he's wrong. He doesnt argue back, he listens and concedes and realizes that piccolo is right. And suddenly goku wants to abandon his plan and stop the fight. He made a mistake. He intends to get gohan out. And in the end, he still ended up being right, but it doesnt change what goku now knows. Gohan isnt like him and he doesnt enjoy fighting.
Goku would have NEVER made gohan fight if he thought he didnt want to. You know this whenever adult gohan gets involved in a fight and goku apologizes that he had to. Or when someone suggests gohan for a battle and goku is like nah he's "out of practice," even when they have time FOR PRACTICE. He never wants to force gohan into a situation like cell again. Because cell was a mistake and goku has learned from it. So he never asks Gohan to fight anymore. If Gohan wants in then of course he's in. But he wants his son to be able to choose that. He wants gohan to be HAPPY and if thats not fighting then thats perfectly alright with goku.
Tumblr media
So it wasnt just about keeping the earth safe. Or his friends. It was knowing that in the safety of gokus absence, gohan wouldnt have to fight either. There would be less threats, less chances of his son being forced into battle. And sure he also trusted that gohan and the others could keep the earth safe if they had to, but he was banking on the threat level significantly decreasing instead.
And decrease it did. They had seven whole years of peace. Not a single threat. Meanwhile from the moment Raditz shows up to gokus death to cell, it all takes place within the span of FIVE YEARS. The longest they went without a threat was the three year gap spent training for the androids. And they spent every waking moment knowing they were coming.
And then if you look at trunks future... majority of the human population being wiped out by the androids. Majority of gokus friends. His son. All dead. Because of him. Because he defeated the red ribbon army when he was a child. And that very easily could have been their future as well. So Goku does his job in preventing that. He saves all of them. And if hes the only one who ends up dead, well... it doesnt matter. Because they aren't. And he intends to keep it that way. So he stays in otherworld, to keep them safe and to give his son a future that he can choose. If Gohan has to fight, then he can. But at least his father wouldnt be the one bringing the threats to his door.

Seeing people argue over shipping a aroace character is somewhat annoying to me. I'm aroace as well and I do not care if someone wants to ship a aroace character unless they're outright erasing, denying, and/or mocking the characters aroace identity. I probably mostly feel like this because I've been active in online fandom spaces since 2013 and I've seen these arguments on here over and over (ESPECIALLY back in 2014, that was the worst time to be on tumblr) to the point where I'm tired of it and want to enjoy the character in peace. Every aroace person has different opinions on this topic and that's fine. I feel like the only people that shouldn't be talking are allos, y'all don't experience what we experience so you can't speak on it.

people really love to conveniently forget trans men exist when they talk about feminism. or if they dont they make us out as also part of the problem as if we somehow are able to have the same amount of privilege as cis men. absolutely wild
#“not all men” is a valid statement because its fucking true#like guys. seriously. not every single man is evil#feminism isnt about putting men down its about raising women up to be equal and getting rid of gender inequality#sorry im seeing a massive uptick in people hating on trans men for being men lately and its fucking stupid#like yall are doing a great job at making me feel ashamed to be a man who likes men. awesome thanks guys#i dont normally make posts like this but its been rattling around in my mind for a few days now#its always put out like. all men (trans or not) are Inherently Evil and all women (trans or not) are Inherently Victims#which is absolutely the stupidest shit ive ever seen#and they also leave out anyone who doesnt fit into the man/woman dichotomy. and if they dont its always seen as woman lite#which is also stupid as fuck#not every nb/agender/other person is feminine asshole#anways. case in point. can we stop demonizing masculinity while also discussing the effects of misogyny and the patriarchy please.#because both of those things are very real and very much do hurt people#but im sick of people lashing out at trans men as if the problem magically doesn't affect us anymore because we are men#because guess what! newsflash! it affects trans AND cis men too!!#i shouldnt have to explain it should be obvious but like. im tired man#sorry ill forever be annoyed at women who just hate every single man who dares breathe in their direction because they COULD be an asshole#if you hate someone because of their gender no matter what gender it is i Do Not Trust You#anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk. replies are off cause i dont want to argue with people i just want to express my opinion

I'm not done talking about this THE HOMOEROTICISM IN BERSERK IS NOT SUBTEXT !!! IT'S JUST THE TEXT
I'm sorry but Griffith constantly claiming Guts as "his"? Guts letting Griffith touch him before anyone else (bonus points: Guts letting Casca touch him is used as a big sign of his affection for her hmmmmm)? Their unwavering trust in each-other? The fact that Griffith cries while thinking about Guts right after sleeping with a woman? The fact that Guts literally offers Griffith his body/to be his boyfriend the first time they meet? The fact that the desire to stand as an equal to Griffith is what inspired Guts to change the way he lived his ENTIRE LIFE? The fact that Griffith, despite being so composed and calm, literally had a massive freakout meltdown when Guts wanted to leave, and refused to let Guts live if he wasn't going to be with him?
There's literally so many more things. Oh my God. There is SO much.
The entire Golden Age arc is LITERALLY just the story of two men pining after each-other so hard they destroy the whole world on accident.
There is no way you don't see it. If you don't see it you either didn't read it or you're fucking lying to protect your fragile ego because "big strong man no gay", that's the only explanation.

never gonna be enough for my dad
#vent#rant#me talking#i keep trying to put in applications and he says i need to do even more acting as if it's my fault that im not getting hired#as if im not trying hard enough#and on the rare occasions that i do get an interview#which have so far all led nowhere#then he just tells me to keep looking while i wait to hear anything and that even if i do get a job#i still need to keep looking for better and better careers#and when i finally was able to do a commission he just said 'cool then do more keep going'#first of all i need to wait for clients#and second of all cant you say youre proud that i was able to do one? that i was able to make a little extra money?#no of course he can't#it's always about moving on to the next thing and pushing myself more#oh yeah and i got my hair cut the other day#and sure i did tell the hair stylist to get it as close to a full buzzcut without being an actual buzzcut#cuz dad refuses to let me buzz my own hair and im too tired to argue at this point despite being an adult#but when he saw it i could tell he didnt like it#he gave the vague 'oh well it's different! showing more forehead. i liked it better when you had longer bangs but thats just me...'#nothing i do pleases him#im tired of it#and i dont know how to tell him that he's part of the reason i constantly feel like a fucking failure#and there have been times where i'll see a car approaching me as i drive to work and for a split second i wonder what would happen#if i hit it hard enough to kill me. then i wouldn't have to disappoint my dad anymore#although knowing him it would still be a disappointment cuz i fucked up driving so much#but i never actually consider doing it#obviously id never want to hurt the other person and if i simply swerved instead to hit a tree#where only id die#i couldnt just let myself die when i have so many others that i care about#but anyway sorry this is a lot i have a headache i promise im not gonna hurt myself it just sucks rn

I grew up hearing that to be a good artist you have to be willing to steal and it ain't wrong, Disney stole fairy tales, which the Brothers Grimm also stole. Most modern philosophy cribs the notes from older philosophers and don't even get me started on fantasy writers, fucking no good thieves and low lives, the lot of them! Originality is frankly: a myth.
We are all "standing on the shoulders of giants"
Does this mean wholesale copying someone else's work isn't possible?No, no it doesn't. Does it mean that the line between theft and inspiration is thin as fuck? Yes, yes, it does. I prefer not to er on the side of caution even remotely though. Because there's a certain level of conceit in believing your the ONLY person who writes or thinks in a certain way. I've read some peoples writing and thought "fuck do I have a split personality I didn't notice?" then I'll read something else and be like "I could never." But I'd bet you a thousand dollars someone else could.
I have no idea what your intention was, when you were sending this ask. I’m not gonna change my opinion on copyright because some anonymous user on tumblr doesn’t agree with me.
However, I’m not gonna stay quiet when people are starting to lie on here. Especially when they’re disrespecting my culture and the Grimm Brothers, my darlings, who fundamentally influenced the era of Romanticism (aka the best epoch, argue with the wall) and my country.
First of all, your premise solely consists of “to be a good artist, you have to steal.”
I like questioning things, so let’s start with that. Basically, you’re saying that every good artist has stolen something. I think I have to remind you that every artistic epoch in European history has started because someone tried something new. Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso — you can choose.
They were influenced by politics, their personal lives, traumatic experiences etc. And still, they created something new that changed our culture in retrospect.
Monet, the most important forerunner of Impressionism, got criticised for Impressionism, Sunrise by most art critics of the time.
They hated Impressionism. They called the pieces unfinished and no one took them seriously. Because they were new, they were revolutionary. Impressionism is about short, thick brush strokes. Impressionism is about expressing your perception of nature and not about an exact representation of it.
And that was new. That was original. Saying he stole it, is discrediting his work. Monet didn’t suffer most of his life, so you can call his art stolen. Neither did Van Gogh.
Yes, they did get inspired by other artists of the time. But they didn’t copy. They did their own thing. They were original. They changed the culture. They enriched it. That’s why they’re great artists. They were brilliant for the time they were living in.
Now, to the Grimms and Disney. Dearest anon, please do some research before you claim that the brothers stole fairytales. They were Germans. And they collected German fairytales because those were usually transmitted orally. (Also because the era of Romanticism started to dig into the fairytales of the Middle Ages but that’s another story).
The brothers didn’t steal anything. Those fairytales belonged to the public. There were hundreds of versions of those, so the Grimms decided to ask around and write down one version.
And guess what, Disney didn’t steal those fairytales either. Because those fairytales don’t belong to one person. They belonged to the people because they were part of German folklore. Disney built a new version and transformed it into animation. Disney’s Cinderella has very little to do with the fairytale of Aschenputtel (or Aschenbrödel, it depends) I grew up with.
Disney created a version of those fairytales.
Just like when the brothers transformed oral fairytales into literary ones. That doesn’t mean they stole them. Stole them from whom? The German people? How can you steal a story that is part of folklore? Those stories belonged to the people. And the collection of this stories, by the Grimms, did as well.
Now, coming to your philosophy point.
You can divide philosophy into four different categories. They’re called Kant’s four questions and basically structure philosophy.
1. What can I know?
2. What ought I to do?
3. What may I hope for?
4. What is man?
Of course, when you’re a philosopher, your ideas will base on this context. Because generally speaking, those four questions make up philosophy. (Obviously, there are other minor categories.)
So, when you’re a philosopher and argue about ethics, are you copying Kant’s question What ought I to do? No. Because that’s ethics. And you can’t steal the concept of ethics. Kant just found a way to describe it, he didn’t invent it.
How can you steal philosophy, by the way?
Philosophy in itself always tries to answer the same questions. Saying a philosopher is copying someone because they have similar views on the world like someone who came before them is in itself illogical.
Am I stealing Socrates’ beliefs when I say, I want to find eudaimonia for myself? Does that also mean I steal the beliefs of Christianity when I believe in god?
A philosopher is made because they’re having their own beliefs and suggest them to the public. Stealing someone else’s work as a philosopher makes no sense.
Additionally, seriously, what did fantasy writers ever do to you? George R. R. Martin and John R. R. Tolkien are so fundamentally different, I don’t even know what your problem is. Martin got inspired by Tolkien, that’s true.
But Martin also focused on showing the grotesque and political aspects of fantasy. In Tolkien’s work, you’re mostly confronted with good and evil. And brotherhood. Lots of brotherhood. Politics isn’t as important as in A Song of Ice and Fire.
I don’t understand why you have to insult fantasy writers? Fantasy which is one of the most popular genres? What did fantasy writers ever do to you? Why are you so mad?? Of course there are gonna be the same tropes in a certain genre? Of course they’re gonna be dragons in fantasy?? That doesn’t mean they’re copying each other.
You cannot copyright tropes. You cannot copyright an idea. Do you want to copyright dragons?
Also, according to you originality is a myth (Who are you? Mark Twain?). I can only remind you of Van Gogh. Or Mary Shelley. Or William Shakespeare. Or Jane Austen. What did they steal? Words? Paint?
“Standing on the shoulders of giants.” This is true in the sense that we’re standing on something other people have built.
We get inspired, yes. But that doesn’t mean we’re copying. Using the same trope of enemies-to-lovers doesn’t mean you’re copying Jane Austen.
And you can be original while being inspired. Since when does one cancel out the other?
Also, stating “We are all standing on the shoulders of giants.” and immediately following that statement with “Does this mean wholesale copying someone else's work isn't possible?No, no it doesn't.” isn’t logical. You’ve already established that wholesale copying someone else’s work is possible. You’ve already mentioned that the Grimm brothers did that.
So, using this rhetorical question isn’t necessary — this has nothing to do with the discussion, it’s just a poor stylistic choice that bothered me.
I do have to agree with you that the line between inspiration and theft is thin. That doesn’t mean you should simply let it slide when someone is creating something suspiciously close to your work.
I prefer not to er on the side of caution even remotely though. What are you trying to say? You’re not cautious? You’re not interested in someone stealing your work? That’s okay. But then I have to assume that you don’t mind stealing other people’s work either.
And finally, no one said they believe they’re the only person who thinks in a certain way. It’s just suspicious when you write a snippet and a few hours later another user posts the same scene with the same metaphors and the same sentence structure and the same alliterations and the same accumulations. It’s suspicious. That’s it.
At the end, I’ll just mention it again because you don’t seem to have gotten my point. I have no problem with people getting inspired by me. What is making me sad is, that people seem to get inspired without trying something new or finding their own style.
I already mentioned that I’m not trying to harass anyone because they’re getting inspired by me. So, once again. I don’t know what your intention was, when you took your time and sent this to me.

i know timber isn’t the most popular dc ship by any means, but something that gives it points for me is that they actually like each other!!! like. i know they don’t really advance each other’s stories in a meaningful way or have a super interesting hero dynamic or whatever else people don’t like it for, but they’re HAPPY together, which is more than can be said for other dc ships

there's a vision related kaeya theory going around (mainly on tiktok) that i don't disagree with, but that like 90% of the people talking about are misinterpreting/representing just enough that they become wrong and its painful, cos like theyre almost understanding what the meaning of the change was, but are then going in totally the wrong direction with it for the sake of angst...

Y'know not to be a party pooper but I think ppl should start thinking abt their queer hcs for more than five seconds when making hcs for characters. Like I think ppl get too comfy in the "fuck you, they're all gay/trans/whatever!" mindset sometimes and that sort of spiteful gut instinct way of going abt it can lead to some. Honestly rly gross hcs. Like I mainly just think ppl should examine their gut instincts before just stamping it on, because sometimes gut instincts are unconscious bias, and like it's not inherently evil to have a queer character that somewhat lines up with a stereotype sometimes, real people can as well, but like you've gotta handle that shit with care and caution man, looking at you non lesbians having mean lesbian hcs
#rat rambles#rat rants#Im so so tired sorry if this is nobsense gndjdndh#but yeah this applies to literally every queer identity man pls just be normal guys#I rly dont want to assume the worst in ppl when they have shitty looking queer hcs if I dont know all the context but like god damn#like I said I rly do think its possible to write characters that overlap with some stereotypes without making them a stereotype#like obviously it depends on the stereotype and who the person writing the character is but still#Id also argue that in many cases showcasing these sort of ppl in a nuanced and in depth light is incredibly important#like for example Id fucking kill for neurodivergent aspec rep that didnt treat us as babies or aliens#I dont want both groups to be lumped together so offensively all the time as is common now but like. neurodivergent aspecs do exist#and we deserve good representation too yknow?#I feel similar abt a lot of aspects of my identity. which is why it makes me sad how lacking in critical thinking skills ppl are sometimes#like ppl on here will rly just list the most offensively sterotypical queer hcs Ive seen in my life and get pissy when ppl point it out#and Ive ranted abt this before but theres also a lot of ppl that I dont think actually like. get most of these negative sterotypes.#like vaguely understanding theyre bad but not understanding why theyre bad#so in an attempt of writing a nuanced versions of stereotypes they just. portray stereotypes.#I think another thing thatd help here is if it was a more commonly accepted mindset that you can accidentally write shitty rep#like characters can 100% fall into a shitty stereotype and it be an 100% incredibly bad thing regardless of the writers intentions#and more likely than not youre going to fall into this when trying to add more representation to your story. social bias runs strong man#and like its obviously a case to case basis but like usually if you find out that your doing smth unintentionally shitty just change it bro#like idc how much of your hcs or whatever is built off of it if you find out youre being shitty with a certain identity fucking change shit#this applies to much more than just queer identities ofc like seriously pls listen to ppl when they criticise you#also let yourself criticise yourself! like obviously you can never perfectly capture smth you havent experienced but if you suspect that#an aspec of a hc or oc might be problematic then like look into it yourself you dont need to wait to be called out on it#alright yeah my brain is melting so bad rn I should shut up before I just mindkessly ramble all night long dndndjdh
