realized a second ago that bardock's name sneakily fits into the son family theme and i'm going to need some time to process that.
to elaborate:
goku (悟空) and his sons gohan (悟飯) and goten (悟天) all have the same first character (悟, read as go).
bardock, rather obviously, is named after the vegetable burdock. more specifically, after the greater burdock, or arctium lappa, which is very common in japan. his name, バーダック (bādakku) is just the japanese transliteration of the english word.
The hardcore sci-fi+ xenofiction parts of my brain are always on the lookout for literally anything I can use to extrapolate the culture of saiyans
I just hate how unreliable Vegeta technically is as anecdotal evidence bc he was only like 6 when his species disappeared so there's lots of stuff he wouldn't know bc it wasn't important either at his age or to someone in his position
What would a six year old prince need to know about child rearing. Nothing. Or the gathering of non-meat foods. He would have had people to do that (probably, but actually WE DON'T KNOW)
Ough. I would gladly write a saiyan culture textbook if I thought anybody would read it
Bring Nappa back so I can ask him about Saiyan courtship.
does anyone know of any good art software on windows that’s compatible with a touch screen? i’ve used IbisPaint my whole life but it’s not on windows 😔 preferably something free, but i’d be willing to pay for something if it’s not too expensive
