I can't help but notice that the fandom has sort of collectively gaslit itself into thinking that Krillin broke up with Maron because he realized the relationship was toxic and wanted out, but in reality, his analogy was Maron as that Pearl, and seeing how badly all those animals wanted to keep that pearl away from him, and choosing to break up with her after that. Krillin didn't realize she was toxic and leave her, he actually felt like HE was the undeserving one in the relationship. That he didn't deserve HER. It's why he was almost willing to take her back when she implied she may have married him. Sadly, it's just used to underline and highlight how little Krillin thinks he's worth and how he feels even a cheating thot like her deserves happiness more than he does. It's actually kind of heartbreaking, but gets played for laughs.

That's... actually an interesting bit of perspective. And I think it has some validity, for sure. Krillin did tend to see himself as incredibly expendible compared to literally almost anyone else for the longest time, so the idea that he'd still think himself unworthy of someone who treated him like that makes some sense. Though I still refuse to accept that he actually would have wound up staying long-term. They'd still have broken up eventually, if only because he knew she'd never really be happy with just him. But yeah, the whole subplot is just really depressing, and the fact that there were clear attempts to play it up for comedy (even contrasting her flirting with other men while Krillin was out there almost dying to try to save everyone) never sat well with me. Really dragged down an otherwise genuinely cool arc. Ah well. At least we can just ignore it.

No, I will not elaborate.

Have you ever started shipping a pairing because it was funny or because you thought "Why not?" and got attached for real?

That has happened to me once, yes.

[dragon-ball-meta]

Are you more of a dog person or cat person?

Both. Very much both. I love the pups and the kittens.

What works of art, be it paintings, sculptures, music, movies, tv shows, video games, what have you, have made you cry?

A lot. That list would probably be too long to realistically answer here, being honest. Especially in music. A lot of Wolves at the Gate tracks can get me though.

What was something you liked and disliked about the spider-man 2 game? (Just finished playing it and I enjoyed it for the most part)

I liked just about everything. If I had to nitpick, I do wish they hadn't definitively killed off some of the characters they did. Really seems to limit the scope of what you can do in the future. but who knows? We'll see.

[dragon-ball-meta]

what's a food you can never get enough of

Cheeseburgers.

[dragon-ball-meta]

Have you read any of Toriyama’s other works like Dr Slump or Sandland?

Some of it, yes.

[dragon-ball-meta]

Final reminder!

UPDATE:

Got way too busy the other day to hit those non-DB questions in the Ask box and have to spend today getting ready for a trip, SO... I am extending the deadline until Thursday, when I will try to answer everyone. So if you have any non-DB questions, feel free to drop them. Only thing off-limits is politics.

Ohhh my God, the current VA for Foghorn Leghorn actually dubbed it.
