Sooo I binge-watched all 50 subbed episodes of Astro Boy (2003) and I cried a whole lot and ended up desperately hoping Dr Tenma gets proper psychiatric care and wishing that someday, maybe, if Atom's okay with it, they can try and reconcile on more equal footing...
My headcanon is that Dr. Tenma is both on the autism spectrum and suffers from severely unmedicated bipolar disorder (which he frequently Refuses to be medicated on so his episodes often are mixed type with psychotic features). His most consistent psychotic features are delusions of megalomania and grandiosity consistent to a typical manic episode, but also paranoid delusions that the government is gonna get him/steal his work/use it in a way he doesn't agree with and that robots are going to turn on him and humanity. he also has auditory hallucinations that devalue him and others, and compel him to do bad things to himself and others. As the years go on and he remains poorly medicated, the auditory hallucinations stop going away, and are always going on, and the baseline paranoia remains no matter what. he functionally develops schizoaffective disorder ;;
I like to think that after the show's wrapped up Ochanomizu (and maybe Atom, too) vouch those in positions of authority to Get Dr Tenma Medicated and maybe, with time and patience and stability, he can finally reach euthymia. Or, at least, become stable enough that he can properly apologize to Atom.... a guy can dream ;-;
Atom's such a good kid. He deserves the world okay!!!!!!!

(aka, my hc for why nicky likes cooking so much is because it’s what first managed peace between yusuf and him)
Set post-GT. Drawn ‘cause I was wondering what Goten might have felt, considering his dad had up and left again after one last adventure with Trunks of all people.
(Honestly, I just wanted these two old friends to finally talk to each other again.)
IM SQUEALING YOUR TEEN AND OLD STANS ARE THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN also hi i'm also new(ish) to the fandom and i appreciate that you weren't afraid to join late! Alex's twitter is a wonderful place for fandom information (sometimes, like the journals) ANYWAY LOVE YOU AND YOUR BLOG! REALITY IS AN ILLUSION THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM BUY GOLD BYEEEEEE!
Ahh, thank you so much, kind anon!! <33 I’m glad you like my art and my blog! So far I’ve had a lovely time in this fandom and I am very grateful :D
I LOOOVE time travel stuff so young/old stans meeting is like, completely up my alley. There’s so much potential for retrospective angst!!!!! *w*
Most saiyan parents probably didn’t give a crap about their offspring. But some must have… I wonder how many quietly mourned their children, lost in space.
Misadventures of amnesiac Bill & Stanley plus one very, very tired Ford. (Set sometime in the future of my same coin spinoff au).
Featuring yandere ford face because I’m not tired of it yet XDD
Stan tried to use the copier to study his brother’s books faster, but the clones kept crying themselves to death ):
My evil Stan AU.
Premise is, basically, Stan falls through the portal instead of Ford and into the Nightmare Dimension. Bill brainwashes/convinces/tortures him into hating Ford (perhaps his own was an asshole?), and Stan “Piraña” Pines becomes an interdimensional hitman and bounty hunter, tracking down the many Portal Fords and either killing them or delivering them back to Bill to be personally tortured to death.
Bill cannot leave the Nightmare Dimension, so he uses Evil Stan as a personal meat puppet and channels his powers through him, damaging his eye (hence the eyepatch) and accelerating the aging of his body. In exchange for this willing possession, though, Stan can also use some of Bill’s powers (shapeshifting black tentacles!!) to survive on strange planets and even the void of space for a short amount of time.
Not all is angst and violence, I promise! There are plenty of incompetent henchman shenanigans. See, unfortunately for our amoral protagonist, he is still identical to Ford so sometimes he gets confused for the very bounty he’s chasing XDD
cor's youth told through six relationships!!

So if Beth says she hasn’t seen her father in 20 years, and she’s 34*, that means Rick left when she was 14*. And while that doesn’t mean he was around all the time, she probably got to hang out with him when he was a rockstar which is a fascinating period of his life to me. Maybe she even got to go to a couple of Flesh Curtains concerts off planet.
It’d be cute if Beth was super psyched about becoming a heart surgeon and Rick was chill with her using him as a patient. His kid’s going places, you hear?
