#like i think my only complain is that everyone accepted tien quickly into the group

I'm rereading dragonball cause this story mixes me up sometimes and god. Tien and Shen really do act like they're the hottest shit in their literal first appearance. And the fact that they did after they heard rumors of the kame students doing well last tournament is just so dramatic. How is tien not more popular his arc is probably the finest example of redemption and learning individuality in this series.

tien during the 22nd is literally my favorite ESPECIALLY in the anime like he’s such an asshole And For What it’s a fucking tournament you big-tittied fuck get help

but no you’re right it’s a real shame that tien isn’t praised more like??? his redemption arc is phenomenal like there’s a clear start and end to it- he’s shown consequences for his actions and he does his best to atone and apologize for them. you even see that the lessons he’s learned as a martial artist- that martial arts is about growing as a person and is not just a tool meant for violence or being better than someone- persists even throughout Z as he strives to be better than goku not to Be Better Than Goku but just to improve himself as a person: goku just happens to be a forever-moving finish line and inspiration. tien’s story really is wonderful and as much as i joke and poke fun at the guy he really is just one of my favorite characters not only for the little things about him but just for his backstory and growth

#snap chats #we interupt chichi hours but tien loving hours tien shinhan i love you deserve so much better 😭😭😭😭 #also no one talks about tien because no one's seen OG DB i'ma say it #either that or he's not conventionally attractive idk #could be both #i said CONVENTIONALLY though i didnt say he WASNT attractive but i'm also NOT saying he IS attractive but ALSO I'M NO #forreal though i really wish tien got better treatment both from fans and from the series #he's really earned it you know? like i will never get over him #like i think my only complain is that everyone accepted tien quickly into the group #i feel like there should have been a bit more resistance- like tien had to work a little harder for everyone's forgiveness #but overall it's still a very good redemption arc where a character is actually confronted with their actions #and their past and- even if painful- have to acknowledge it and move past it to become a better person #i just love it so so much i cant express that enough #i could probably gush about tien Genuinely for hours but i shan't </3 i dont have the tags for that </3 #plus i'm very not good at words and i have other asks to tend to 🤧 #but please !!! talk to me more about tien i love him very much and i wish others did too 😭😭😭
