Su fortaleza va más allá de su fuerza física 💪🏻🧡
Goku gets to keep his Bardock’s scouter, a way to remember him and hear his voice. I saw someone said Goku now has 2 items he can cherish, his grandpa’s 4 star Dragon Ball and the scouter. I know Goku had no deep interest on getting to know or meet his real parents before, he could possibly in the near future. But I don’t think he needs to, I’m just glad he remembers them in a way and he just kept moving forward.
I’m just so soft for intimate interactions🧡

Just some guys being dudes,,,, and developing trauma in the process
Anyways, here’s part one the U13 au master doc! But just a disclaimer here though for any one wanting to read this. I know from what I’ve posted so far of this au has been pretty tame, but this has a very mature storyline with blood/intense gore, themes of depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. I’ve made a full list of potential triggers at the end of my statement on the first page of the Google Doc but I’m just putting this here as an extra precaution.
If you are in anyway uncomfortable with the themes present in this au then this is not a good story for you. These sections can get pretty heavy so if you do want to read this, I encourage you to take breaks. This is 131 pages long so far and I’m only just getting started with it.
Hopefully by the time part two eventually gets finished, the story will wind down a bit because, c’mon this is DBZ we’re talking about. It’s not always filled with gritty and serious writing, it also has comedy. The only reason as to why it gets as dark as it does in here is because the past behind the Saiyans, Frieza's tyranny, the whole ✨blowing up a planet and killing off it’s entire population thang✨ is some of the darkest shit in the show. And because that shit is being elongated over 10 year period in this au, shit’s bound to get darker as a result.
So aside from that, happy reading! :)
I’ve worked on this doc for a solid several months at this point and I think you guys are gonna really love what I have so far. Thank you so much for the support on the au, enjoy my little ref sheet up top for Kakarot and Vegeta, and I hope you like it! Let me know if there’s anything I can improve on in my writing for this.
Also great news! I just finished the first half of my au storyline!! 🎊 I need to spruce some stuff up first, mostly just grammar stuff but otherwise I’ll be showing it off soon. ;)
Oh, but also also………….
there’s gonna be a character that you’ll see a ton more off from now on that isn’t in the master doc (yet, still gotta work on his backstory) but here he is as a baby. His name is Yamma. Have fun!
More sketches of my u13 au but this time, a full view of their wedding attire! (featuring Turles, Bulma, and Gine helping em get ready ^^)
I can’t wait for when I get done writing the first few arcs of the au in my master doc! Just need to get done with some assignments first but I promise it’ll be done! (Eventually 😅)
TLDR: This is my headcanon for how I believe Saiyans wedding traditions work! (At least in U13)
Hopefully my writing isn’t too small but in case it is, I’ll just quote it all below. Enjoy! (Also here’s another rupphire inspired drawing,,,, hope y’all don’t mind lol)
“The earring is also important. Similar to a wedding ring, it symbolizes marriage. The cuff earrings are typically made of brass and can be easily customized, usually with engravings on the inside. Unlike in human culture, there isn’t another set. There is only one set, it’s only the positioning that changes. Each partner gets one cuff for the opposite ear. When engaged, each will position it on the lower part of the ear. Once married, they will place it higher up.”

“When proposing, the earring will be tied to the flower’s stem.”
“When proposing, one person will present the flower with the earring tied to it to their significant other and ask if they accept the proposal.”
“If the answer is a definitive ‘yes,’ then the recipient will take the earring and put the flower in the presenter’s hair.”
“If the answer is ‘yes, but not right now,’ then the recipient will put the flower in their own hair but give the earring to the presenter. They will keep it until the both of them are ready.”
“If the recipient is unsure or needs to still think about it, then they’ll take the earring but not the flower and will take it only if they accept it.”
“If the answer is ‘no,’ then the recipient won’t take anything at all.”
“Saiyan wedding ceremonies are a lot less extravagant than human ones. Each partner will wear something significant to their family line and that’s as far as it goes dress-wise. However for Kakarot and Vegeta, that wasn’t the case as they went all out and had a Human-Saiyan mixed wedding since they got married on Earth, partly as an act of unity between Planet Vegeta and humanity (officially).”
“That’s a story for another time. Sorry!”
*pointing at Vegeta* “Wearing his father’s old coronation attire as a wedding suit”
*pointing at Kakarot’s shoes* “Part of father’s old headband”
“The flower is used in the ceremony by cultivating its seeds and blending them into a strong and potent drink. This drink is said to give anyone who drinks it a longer lasting life along with a small power boost. Consuming it symbolizes an unbreakable bond, ever lasting even after death. This part is usually presented by both of the couple’s families, however it’s more acceptable nowadays to have it be presented by an elder of either of their respected communities. The only people allowed to drink this beverage is the couple.”
*pointing at both Kakarot and Vegeta* “kneeling”
*pointing at Bardock* “Yes, Bardock is alive in this AU!
“But be careful, it’s quite an eclectic taste.”
Vegeta: *thinking* Bitter…
“After that part of the ceremony has ended, each partner will move their earrings up. They are married and the reception will begin!”
“With lots of food obviously.”
Guess what?? Another U13 au sketch dump lmao
Also for those wondering about the earrings they have on, no they’re not destroyer earrings. They’re wedding earrings! This concept was inspired by @nessguts but I decided to add some more world-building because who doesn’t like more Saiyan lore? :D I might make a separate post about it later so I don’t make this one too long lol but in the meantime, enjoy this fluff of U7 meeting their U13 counterparts.
💕💘 Happy belated Valentines Day everyone! 💕💘 :))
I’ve been listening to some vocaloid/utau/vsynth songs lately and thought it’d be funny to see U13 Vegeta singing “Romeo and Cinderella” to a flustered U13 Kakarot lol.
Here’s a reference sheet of all of Kage’s forms
For a little explanation, the U13 au has its own fusion technique! As you can tell from some of my other posts showcasing this au, it takes some aspects of Steven Universe. The fusion technique is the same but with a Dragon Ball twist. This is what I call Coalescence Fusion!
In Universe 13, Coalescence Fusion is a technique that was created by the Tuffles and then appropriated passed onto the Saiyans as a way to strengthen their bonds but the reason to why would constantly change through the passage of time.
For the Tuffles, it was about strengthening bonds in mutual relationships and a sign of personal growth. When the Saiyans conquered their planet and renamed it Planet Vegeta, “strengthening bonds” through fusion was more about a sense of comradery and combining battle power to overtake their enemies rather than personal growth. The bigger the fusion, the stronger the warrior.
In order to one to fuse with this technique, all parties have to make their energies equal to one another’s. (Usually a fusion consists of two or more people) This creates an equilibrium that helps make a well balanced fusion. One can level out their energy in many different ways, they can dance, sing, meditate… as long they can combine together and maintain a balance, there is no particular way to fuse. Now technically one can stayed fused forever as long as long as they have strong enough of a connection. But as soon as their energies are thrown out of balance or they’re incapacitated in some way, the fusion can un-fuse or become unstable. After a fusion fails, there’s usually a 20 minute gap before one can fuse again, however depending on how strong the parties’ connection to each other is, the faster the recover rate can be.
In some Saiyan communities, (more commonly in low or mid class ranks) Coalescence Fusion can have a romantic connotation depending on how quickly a party can fuse together. Now while Saiyans aren’t much for romance, they are a warrior race after all, some saw that aspect as more of a benefit for encouraging stronger warriors. Others see it as more of a hinderance in battle.
As time moved forward, restrictions on who could fuse together became more apparent. (Basically no mixing of classes) In more elite circles, Coalescence Fusion was used more as a way of courtship and in a way to literally “merge” assets. When thinking about it that way, fusion to elites is more important in a socio-economic setting than on the battlefield.
For Kage specifically, because he was a fusion of two different classes (an elite and a low-class) combined with the fact that Kakarot and Vegeta fused together so quickly; albeit entirely on accident. Kage was practically shunned from a majority of the Saiyan race, believing them to be an abomination. The elites wouldn’t accept him due to them believing that Kakarot soiled the royal bloodline by fraternizing with Vegeta through fusion (Even though they weren’t even a couple at the time.) and the low class wouldn’t accept him because they felt they didn’t trust Vegeta, believing a fusion between him and Kakarot was ultimately dangerous. This lead them to unfuse from panic, Vegeta getting injured in the process (more on that at a different time ;) ) and they run away to Earth in an attempt to escape from certain death. By landing on Earth, their relationship became stronger and thus, their fusion, Kage became ultimately stronger as a result. This is exemplified through Kage’s different forms throughout the years to signify ever changing nature of their relationship. Sorry for the long lore dump but hopefully it makes sense!
Just some U13 au kakavege fluff sketches based off of some rupphire scenes 💕
Also wanted to include this cute lil pose that I drew from my sketchbook earlier today.
Since a couple of you guys wanted an explanation of this au, I’ll happily give a small summary of the storyline!
I call it…
✨the Universe 13 AU✨ (i know very creative lol)
The basis this au is practically a giant “what-if” scenario. There are several questions that drive this storyline.
What would happen if Bardock convinced some of the Saiyans to go against Frieza?
If Bardock defeated Frieza, would that mean Planet Vegeta was never destroyed?
If Planet Vegeta was never destroyed, would that mean Goku never had to leave for Earth and actually went to go train with Raditz instead?
If Goku had never left for Earth, what would happen to his kind-hearted nature as he grows up on Planet Vegeta?
What if “Prince” Vegeta actually became “King” and how would this affect his behavior and his decision making going forward?
This story revolves around their friendship as kids to adults in the war-ridden landscape that is Planet Vegeta. One day, they crash land on Earth in an attempt to flee from their cruel reality to which they start adjusting to the peacefulness of their new environment. Only through these experiences do they soon realize that they might have feelings for one another and start a slowly budding relationship and in turn forming a new type of fusion, Kage.
If y’all have any questions about this au, please let me know! My ask box is open and I have a master doc with the full timeline of events in the works. :)) Have fun!
Been thinking about my Universe 13 AU again. Anybody interested in learning more about this? 👉👈
Gokushin enjoyers I fear we have won AGAIN with this look
