So, this happened.

 Why in Dende's name do I have a blog? As though I don't have enough crap to write? Well, I think that the way I come up with stories is pretty interesting. Of course, I could add an Author's Note to the end of my stories...but frankly 99% of my readers don't care what music I listened to, or what scene specifically made me think this plot was good. So, this thing is probably mostly just to give me a place to pretend to talk about the creative process. Maybe, unlikely but possible, it's to write something interesting about how I write. If that sounds interesting, enjoy!

LOOK AT THIS FACE and tell me Frieza didn't have it bad.


LOOK AT IT.

Anyway, this idea wormed its way into my skull and would not leave.  Getting it to the point that I feel my words did any sort of justice to my idea was very difficult, and I can only hope I succeeded. It's a weird feeling, to feel sorry for Frieza.

All events are based on the anime version of events (Funimation dub), particularly episodes 96, 100, and 108. I have taken liberties with the dialogue, timing, and events of the Tournament of Power.

In case you are at all interested, I listened to the following songs while writing to set the mood:

YouTube Playlist

General

Massive Attack - "Angel" and "Teardrop"

Moby - "Inside" and "Summer"

Taylor Swift - "So It Goes..."

Rusted Root - "Ecstasy"

The Cave

Rena Jones - "Open Me Slowly"

Moby - "Memory Gospel"

The Betrayal

Moby - "Memory Gospel" again, "Whispering Wind" and "Running"
