Wanted to repost this! This is my MarTen long fic, Surpassing the Strongest! It’s an End of Z canon divergent story featuring
#Goten
as the main character, finally giving him the spotlight and big plot line he deserves!
#DBZ
AO3:
@paleomario66
There’s this little line in the Z dub that I like a lot. I think it was Tien and he says “Yamcha swing around and grab those two” the whole scene is really sweet
@lonely_heheh
SSJ4 is the true form of the super saiyan mentioned in the original legend
In the Z anime we saw a shot of something resembling a Golden Great Ape, was said he couldn’t control and then died. Goku controls Golden Ape and then boom SSJ4
Knew it
They already moved away from Trunks and Goten.
Goten can’t have one scene on his own without being connected to Trunks or being blown off so Trunks can simp for Mai
“New arc ft. Trunks & Goten as MCs” turned out to be “Trunks is MC ft Goten cameos”
I hate it here
Trunks being scared of ghosts/easily creeped out is so fucking funny to me lol I love that
And Goten has no filter just as always “our dads died tho” lmao I love these two
@shiny244
Yeah that dub line never really clicked with me that much. The line after though was always awesome too
Bojack: “Any last words before you die?”
Gohan: “Actually, Bojack, there is one word that comes to mind. KAMEHAMEHA!”
And then rip Bojack lmao
@ariddletosolve
It’s true and you should say it
As a fanfic writer myself, I love and appreciate artists for what they do but writers get shafted so hard in comparison which is unfair and really discouraging at times.

Went to my first anime convention today! And I got to see Robert McCollum voice of Teen/GT Goten! When I heard he was gonna be there I knew I had to go. He was genuinely so nice and friendly, it was an honor to meet him! He even liked my STS art I showed him!! Great day today :)
Fellow fic writers, please don’t give up writing. I know we get a lot of flack for a variety of reasons and then barely even get feedback as it is, but please keep sharing your work with everyone. It’s wonderful and your work is very important to many people out there
Say something uplifting to another fic writer. It can be a writer you know, or just a general feel-good statement to the other fic writers of the world!
@Shotwilly
Decade old game held together by tape at times, and is just left over when all the super attacks were sprite based, so when they moved to anime cutscenes for super attacks the 144p sprites stayed
I drew

#Marron
again last night! I feel I’m getting better so I’m proud of this lol. My ship
#MarTen
lol
I wanted to see art of Goten holding her for years but since I don’t have enough for commissions I gotta do it myself! Rare pair struggles 😎 lol
Here’s my End of Z retelling, Surpassing the Strongest. Features Goten in a canon divergent story where he kept training and wants to enter the tournament and beat his dad! Plus a sinister plot unfolds that could destroy the Z Fighters from the inside 👀
I didn’t create MarTen but I’m basically CEO of it nowadays lmao. I haven’t written much lately but for a while I was the sole driving force of MarTen fics
@KaitGlick
The whole Son family really gets shit on relentlessly smh
Goku gets shit on for everything
Chichi gets shit on for "ruining" Gohan
Gohan gets hated for not being Vegeta
and Goten shits on for existing
:(
DBGT Adult Goten: likes one girl, is very polite and considering and worries about doing/saying anything improper
Fandom Adult Goten: playboy douchebag who is a cheater
This is Yamcha 2.0 💀
@NekoHappix
The fact that NSO was free for years (DS/3DS/Wii era was always free too) and then began requiring payment later + expansions never sat right with me.
I got an awesome
#MarTen
commission from the always amazing
@Kimmyisaname
!! Thank you so much again my friend ❤️
This may or may not be from a future chapter of my fic where
#Goten
and
#Marron
goof off while waiting for Goten’s turn to fight 👀
She thinks he flies too fast lol
@justAguy0507
You know I want to agree with you that OG DB gets treated badly by both the official stuff and the fans, so you’re not technically wrong but when you say it so obnoxiously it just makes me totally disagree
@ErikaHarlacher
For real. To take away his role as arguably the most iconic video game character of all time and then say “don’t worry he’s still in the movie” is SUCH a slap in the face and it makes me sad
I was bored last night so I drew Uncle
#Goten
with little
#Pan
for practice! Looove the end of
#DBZ
era I wish there was more art of it lol.
(Goten’s gi is basically what he wears in my tic. Orange/black + Go symbol on back!)
I got a commission from the amazing
@LunaHanVi
of my MarTen OC twins! They look so cute and I love it so so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you again Luna you are the best!! :)
@daily_vegeta
In BoG it looks like they just took Adult Vegeta’s head and put it on a small body
Super looks better even if the art isn’t great. Also kid Vegeta with bangs >>>> huge widows peak at age 5 lol
@BROONOart
Dragon Ball has some of the best sound effects I’ve ever heard in an anime. Like they're just so satisfying to listen to
and the fact that OP got those instead while Super has discount versions is so insane to me
@BasedPota18
Takahashi is awesome but I’ve just never been a fan of the god forms, the light blue/greenish blue they used never did it for me. But the dark blue in the movie was really nice imo
The canon debate. So many fans think “canon = good” and disregard anything “non canon” as bad or not worth discussing. Dbs has 3 continuities and they’re all canon, yet god forbid you bring up movies/filler/GT
