Random Friday night thread on how I manifested things accidentally.
So my father died suddenly 10/2001. We were cleaning his apartment and found the DragonBall Z Saiyan Saga set.
If you don’t know, that’s the first few seasons of the classic anime. When I found it, I knew I’d be into it. I had heard of it before but never watched it.

So I watch this anime and I’m absolutely blown away. Funimation was releasing the VHS so guess what I started collecting. I’m really happy I got into when I did because all this cool shit was coming out on a regular.
Dragonball Z was my gateway to anime. My first love lol

... and binge watching. I used to binge watch before it was a thing. Where’s my check?!s
I eventually went back and watched the original Dragonball, read the manga, all that stuff. I collected a lot of toys and never opened them. I would tell myself “I hope my kids can play with these.” I would imagine watching my tapes with my kids on lazy Saturdays.
Flash forward to 2013. A new DBZ movie is coming out. My husband suggested we take anakin and I was fucking stoked. We took him and...
He LOVED it. Adored it even. We found out they were making a new series. We head home to binge watch DBZ on crunchy roll or something.

And while it wasn’t my tapes, I did end up binge watching DBZ with the fam. And I damn sure did take a minute to acknowledge that my dream had come true. And I also got to experience a new version of something I love with him. Every time I think about it I feel blessed.
I can’t explain how fucking AWESOME it felt to be able to take Anakin to NEW Star Wars movies. Only way it could’ve been better is if he was IN the movie. He’s not into being on camera too much, but I digress.
I guess I’m reminding myself of how blessed I am when it comes to sharing interests with my son. My son doesn’t watch much “standard tv” because he hates commercials. So it’s YouTube when he’s not watching DRagon Ball Super with me.
I do pop up inspections to make sure he’s not watching anything inappropriate and it’s usually theories about deep space or DBZ memes 
I guess I’m done now lol
Wait one more...
My son played with my DBZ toys for good but of his early childhood. So I still have most of the toys but 1. They’re out the box and 2. They’re basically his now lol.
