Was Baby Trunks really an accident?
Sooooo after having seen dbz again for the thousandth time after several years that had passed - and being certainly more mature today - I realize that I have changed one main opinion I had on Bulma and Vegeta's relationship.
I've always thought that baby trunks was an accident, as is the predominant theory, however looking back at everything it seems absolutely unlikely.
It is quite clear that the relationship between Bulma and Vegeta was born based only on sex, but a woman like Bulma - a scientist, intelligent - knew damn well what contraceptives, pills, etc. are.
I am convinced that baby trunks was well sought by her, almost perhaps with the aim of ""trapping"" Vegeta - but not so much trapping him in the bad sense of the term - but more in the sense of changing him (and oh boy she did succeed).
On the other hand, Vegeta clearly had no problems with the consequences of his actions and knew that he could get her pregnant, and perhaps he didn't even mind the idea since he could continue his Saiyan blood as Goku had already done (we know how much he cares to keep up).
The interesting part is in fact that in the first episodes of dbz Vegeta tells Nappa that they will not also reproduce with the earthlings so as not to have saiyans who are stronger than them. But that was obviously before meeting Goku. So Vegeta was absolutely aware that the risk of leaving heirs was there.
Akira clearly was as generic as possible, because anything could have been, but putting the dots together it's really difficult that baby trunks could have been an accident.
What do you think?

javier is SOOOO pretty like????
i was redoing quests for chapter 5 (and some of 4) and just swooning over him the whole time
he can simply sit somewhere and not say a goddamn thing and i will still freak out
if he’s in the background i will point him out to whoever is around me (even if nobody is)
no matter what, he’s VERY gorgeous and only one of my friends get it and it’s a shame

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

I am BEGGING younger drivers. drive carefully. give yourself room. for fuck's sake use your turn signals and don't fucking weave thru traffic. this is not a video game, this is real life and if you get into an accident, you could get killed or kill someone else VERY easily

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

Elephant in the room time! I’d like to give a summary for everyone here.
I think we have all been waiting for someone to dig up something about Tim Walz, and what they found is a DUI from 1995.
Tim Walz was still a teacher at the time. He was with his friends, watching college football. He chose to drive home, and was pulled over for going 96mph in a 55. He was charged and fined.
Directly afterwards, he tried to resign from his teaching job out of guilt for his actions. He felt terrible, he felt disappointed in himself, and thought he didn’t have the right to teach or be a coach because of it. The principal pushed back immediately, asking him to stay. The principal refused to let him resign.
11 years later he became a member of Congress. 30 years later, he still hasn’t touched alcohol.
His drink of choice is Diet Mountain Dew.
Trump supporters are seemingly oblivious to the hypocrisy of their criticism of Walz. It has been 30 years since Walz was charged with his only misdemeanor. In May of this year, Trump was convicted of 34 felonies.

Tim: “Hey, where’s that scar from? I don’t remember you ever being in any fights that would cause that type of injury.”
Dick: “It’s something I prefer not to talk about. My memory of it is blurred anyway, so I couldn’t tell you if I wanted to—“
Jason, who got into their coms channel a few seconds ago: “HE GOT NAILED IN THE FACE DURING PE!”
Dick: “…How about we focus back on the stakeout.”

I saw a post about how Bill "isn't ACTUALLY the villain" of Gravity Falls, given his ✨tragic backstory✨. Y'all know you can be sad and evil at the same time, right? You know Bill maybe feeling kinda bad for his actions does not make him the VICTIM of his own actions, right?
He gleefully drew little doodles of 12-year-olds in puddles of blood and you people are like "but his parents are dead." YEAH. HE KILLED THEM.
