There are 2 types of people in this world.

I have a favorite character. Alright?

Some opinions on Dragon Ball ships (specifically just with Trunks):

In complete and total honesty, my OTP is actually a crossover ship. Trunks with Chibiusa from Sailor Moon. Both royal brats, both time travelers, from a dystopian/destroyed future, motivated to protect their parent(s), SEVERE DADDY ISSUES! ...they have so much in common to bond over and build a relationship on. As far as I'm concerned they're soulmates. They just have to get over the one little hurdle of existing in two different universes. But as far as ships that stay within the Dragon Ball universe, Trunks is my favorite character. All versions of Trunks. Mirai, Chibi, GT, Time Cop, etc. I love him all. So I'm very picky about who gets shipped with him. I hate how after GT the vast majority of the fandom shipped him with Pan. Not only does Pan irritate me as an independent and unattached character, she is too young. Remember the end of Dragon Ball Z? She was a TODDLER when he was 18. There is a fourteen year age difference between them. That’s gross, and creepy, and just no! In addition to that, (as is appropriate for her age) Pan is  immature.In GT she’s  self-centered, nagging, obnoxious, small minded, petty, and not clever enough to be with Trunks.  Mai, I really have no compelling feelings about one way or another. It is technically canon, so I do have to give it some small amount of acceptance, even if I do disagree. I can see how/why she would be a good match for Mirai Trunks. Mai is a soldier and a survivor -figuratively, but in the Mirai timeline, literally as well. She has gone up against Goku and truly understands how dangerous Saiyans can be, but she's not afraid. She sees Trunks as a person, not a power house. Similarly, because of her experiences with Goku, she has a healthy fear but no hesitation when it comes to Goku-Black. She knows she can't defeat him, but she also won't hesitate to support Trunks against him. She is a good partner for him in the Miria timeline. However, shipping her with Chibi Trunks in the main timeline I have very strong feelings about. It is creepy. Lets remember that, while Mai may be in the body of a child, she is actually a woman in her forties (fifties?). She is old enough to be Trunks' mother! Mentally, an adult. Physical ages be damned, SHE SHOULD NOT FIND A TEEN/PRE-TEEN BOY ATTRACTIVE! The whole idea of Mai with Chibi Trunks makes my skin crawl and I do not like it. Its the exact same objection I have to TruPan, just the reverse.  I think Trunks and Goten is cute, and I can see them experimenting together in their late teen/early twenties. In their experimental years. But they also grew up together. In a lot of ways they're more like brothers than just best friends, and sometimes shipping them together feels a bit more like incest. They're cute. But, over all, I have to be in a mood to read a Truten fic -even a clean one. 

Likewise, I can see why people ship Mirai Trunks with Mirai Gohan. But, again, to me their relationship feels more familial than romantic. I’m pretty sure in the English dub Gohan even calls Trunks “little brother” at one point (its been years since I’ve watched it so I might be wrong about that detail). But it’s kinda hard to ship a pair of characters after a line like that. Certainly they care about each other, of course! But I just can’t see them romantically. 

As for Gohan and Chibi Trunks from the main timeline, that one shouldn’t even be on the radar. Gohan is eleven when Trunks is, like, one! There’s a 10 year age gap! Gohan was old enough to change Trunks’ diapers! And I’m pretty sure Bulma or even Chichi would have asked him to help out at some point. I’m sorry, but you can’t date someone after wiping their shit-smeared ass for them. Finding Gohan/Trunks fic in the archives seriously creeps me out! Keeping things strictly within the DB universe (multi-verse?) and not crossing it over with other anime, my main ship for Trunks is Marron. 

They are my solid ship. Their ages are perfect. Close enough to not be creepy or even just "uncomfortable". But still far enough apart so that they didn't really spend too much time together as children so they're not pseudo-siblings like Trunks and Goten. 

GT tried to make Marron some kind of "wilting flower" having her claim she's afraid of flying, but lets get real for a sec. Do any of us honestly believe that Android 18 would allow her daughter and only child grow up to be afraid of flying? No. Eighteen would want to make sure her daughter can take care of herself. Not just fight and defend herself, but also make sure Marron was never stranded and always had a way to get home. Marron would definitely be trained in ki techniques. Of course she’d never be as powerful a fighter as anyone in the core team, but definitely not the dead weight GT made her out to be. 

Also, Marron knows what it's like to grow up with a former villain as a parent. A former villain parent whom the others in their group might still be low-key afraid of or intimidated by. A former villain parent who has used her power for intimidation and extortion -like when she tried to put the squeeze on Mr. Satan for the money he owed her. Marron and Trunks have a lot in common to bond over and use as the foundation to build a relationship. A solid foundation. For a solid relationship. 

Every one who Follows this blog should know by now that I ship Trunks (from DBZ) with Chibiusa (from Sailor Moon). Well, I was explaining my reasons for this ship to @nozominoyami, and after deciding that the ship made sense (( BECAUSE THIS SHIP MAKES SENSE, DAMN IT! )), she drew these sketches of their children. 

From the top. 

Vegeta III, or “Veggie-chan” for an affectionate nickname. The eldest son of Trunks and Chibiusa. In keeping with the old Saiyan tradition of naming the eldest son after the planet, they named him Vegeta. Unfortunately, he’s the weakest of the three. He is a capable fighter, but lacks significant ki and will never achieve even the first Super Saiyan form. He can, however, use lunar magic and become a “Tuxedo Mask” type hero like his other grandfather. But he doesn’t want to. 

Tokki, the second son and middle child. The name “tokki” is literally the word for “rabbit” in Korean. Following the Lunarian naming scheme of naming (Usage, Chibiusa, etc. Tokki was named for the lunar rabdits.) As the middle child he get overlooked by his parents all the time. Trunks and Chibiusa haven’t even realized that he has already achieved Super Saiyan 2, or that he’s well versed enough in Lunarian lore and magic to be a Sailor Guardian -except he doesn’t have a Star Seed/Sailor Crystal that would allow him to transform. He’s just a normal Lunar citizen. 

Lace, Trunks and Chibiusa’s only daughter. By Lunarian custom of inheritance through the female line, Lace is the heir to the Moon Kingdom throne. However, she doesn’t want it. While she is does have a Crystal that allows her to transform into the third Sailor Moon, she doesn’t want to be a Sailor Senshi, or a Moon Princess. She would rather fight like a Saiyan using fists and ki to subdue enemies with violence. She went Super Saiyan at a very young age and her older brothers are terrified of her. Vegeta and Bulma think she’s the most adorable thing in the universe, and Vegeta is a particularly doting grandfather. Usage and Mamoru are concerned.

All of these drawings were done by Nozomi, but ownership of the Ohs is shared between the two of us. I might post short one-shot fics of them later. But, for now, just enjoy the art. 

Being without my computer for almost a month, gave me time to break out the markers and finally color in one of the first commissions @nozominoyami ever did for me.
