They were at a rather low level of technological development when Cold happened upon planet Sadla, their original homeworld. Many were even still Stone Age hunter-gatherers. With emphasis on the hunting.
They venerated ancestors and practiced animism.
Saiyan children, like humans, are born underdeveloped and take a long time to mature. But Saiyans also have much higher caloric needs than humans. This resulted in lower fertility rates and selected for monogamous behavior even more strongly than in humans.
In pre-Cold Saiyan society, the family was the unit around which all social life was organized. Spousal, fraternal, and parent-child bonds were particularly revered.
In order to better mold the Saiyans for his needs, Cold implemented policies to undermine the family structure. Most notably, taking newborn infants and sticking them in conditioning pods. Some didn’t see their parents until they were already toddlers.
This is where the practice of sending Saiyan infants to clear low-risk planets came from.
Casual sex wasn’t really a thing in Saiyan society, due to aforementioned monogamy. Sex released all kinds of intense hormones that started a pair bond pretty much right away. And the process could be difficult to stop once it started.
It’s for this reason that Saiyan society didn’t have much in the way of formalized marriage ceremonies. Any couple that had sex more than 3 or 4 times was de facto married.
(See also: Vegeta one day referring to Bulma as his wife and Bulma just going along with it.)
They were, for the most part, enormous prudes. Extreme lust for sex was seen as the result of an inadequate lust for battle.
(Vegeta sees humans the way humans see bonobos, basically. It’s especially startling to him because of their outward resemblance to Saiyans,)
These aren't boobs! These are chest muscles😳
No sabía que necesitaba ésto, pero ahora lo hago.
This is from my dbz/bnha crossover, where Goku adapted izuku
Read the story from Wattpad izuku son of Goku
...Every heart has some pain...
I apologize for what I am going to say to you, but I have to. I am Ahmad allouh from Gaza, married with two children. We live in the shadow of war and destruction. I lost my brother, my home, and most of my relatives. We have nothing left. I ask you to help, even a little, so that we can survive and protect my children. Any amount, even a small amount, will save our lives. https://gofund.me/991535b1 Ask m-rivas1 a question
Lo siento mucho por lo que están pasando, mí país también se encuentra en una crisis humanitaria horrible ( Venezuela), en mí casa nos retorcemos el cerebro todos los días al pagar las cuentas, varios familiares se han ido del país por esta situación. No tengo la facilidad económica de entregar dinero así como así y soy menor de edad.
I mean this in the absolute nicest way possible:
You cant forget instinct. Thats why theyre called instincts. Theyre INSTINCTUAL.
I feel like some people misinterpret gokus head injury as a child. He forgot he was a saiyan. He forgot his parents. But it didnt get rid of his natural "saiyan instincts."
Saiyans were ruthless because thats the path they ended up on. Take universe 6 saiyans. Theyre not planet brokers, but saviors.
Saiyans ARENT inherently evil. Goku didnt have issues as a baby because he was a saiyan... he was violent because he was on a new planet with nothing familiar. No parents. No brother. No home. Just a strange old man and things he didnt understand.
So he threw tantrums. Like any child would. And they seemed worse because he wasnt human.
You can lose instincts over time. But Goku didnt lose his saiyan abilities or instincts at all. Theyre still there. He lost his memories. It was his saiyan instincts that kept him alive when he was alone in the woods for all those years.
The saiyans believe theyre superior through years and years of fighting and brokering planets. If their original planet, sadala, hadnt blown up then maybe they would have ended up like the universe 6 saiyans, fighting to save rather than destroy.
But it did blow up. So they had to fight for another. And then king cold made everything THAT MUCH WORSE by basically enslaving the saiyans to work for him. And then later, frieza.
If saiyans were "evil" then vegeta would have no capacity for good at all. And Goku losing his memories wouldnt have mattered. But they arent. Not inherently anyway.
Dont get me wrong. Theyre ruthless and cunning and can be downright terrifying im sure. Thats all from their intense instinct for battle. Its what they do with that that makes them flawed and could have been different.
oops i found more kakarot / chi-chi drafting
"... you should smile more."
"Smile more? Oh god no, I hate my smile!"
2nd ko-fi request: kudoichi :)
HAHAHA, ¡¡ESTE ES BUENO!!.
Izuku talking to the Vestiges: so what was your favorite moment before you died? It has to be the closest to when you died though.
Nana: my very last moments when I flipped off All for One and gave a sassy hair flip, just before he crushed me with a giant bolder.
Banjo: That one time when I dropkicked All for one using my blackwhip
2nd, still in the corner: I made All for one cry once
Yoichi: when I escaped the vault and left a recording of my voice that was triggered by the vault door opening that had me cursing him out and telling him that next time he wants to keep someone in a vault to take care of their mental state too, because I'm coming for him.
Everyone: silence
2nd: when did this happen?
Yoichi: I had it recorded for a while, it was supposed to be either for my funeral or for a last message when i got out sort of thing. I set it up while you guys were getting some stuff to take with us back to camp but I had almost nothing to pack so I just did that and then shoved everything I owned into a bag.
Izuku: that sounds fun.
Aizawa, walking in on the conversation: Izuku who are you talking to?
Izuku, looking him dead (haha) in the eyes: dead people. They are talking about the best experiences they had before death.
Aizawa, tired: and why does that sound fun?
Izuku, forgetting to give Aizawa context: well, the one who is all for one's brother left him a voice recording telling him off once he was able to escape the vault he put him in, that's what sounds fun. Not being in the vault, but the voice recording.
(I will let you continue this before I get out of hand and use too much space for the ask space to handle)
(im just laughing my ass off at this it's funny as fuck thank you for the ask!)
