Hey everyone,
This post is for those who, like me, are not short and therefore not directly affected by heightism but have recognized it to a point that staying silent feels wrong. Here's how you can genuinely support short men and help combat heightism.

On Reddit:

Listen, Don’t Preach If you want to support short men, focus on listening rather than trying to relate or even worse oppose by mirroring your own experiences. You don’t know what it feels like to be a short man or to face heightism firsthand. The best way to support them is to listen attentively to those who do. If they’re open to it, ask questions to better understand their experiences, but avoid making assumptions. Even if a post seems like incel content, refrain from judging—everyone’s experiences and feelings are valid.
Acknowledge Your Privilege You don’t need to feel guilty about being tall, but don‘t try to deny your privilege. Denying your privilege undermines the reality of heightism. Subreddits like shortguys aren’t the place to discuss how tall people have problems too. Yes, everyone faces challenges, but tall people aren’t typically mistreated, bullied, or rejected because of their height. Acknowledge this disparity and avoid being insensitive or making assumptions about what short men face.
Reflect on Your Behavior Consider if you’ve ever used your height to the disadvantage of shorter men. Have you participated in or tolerated bullying, whether knowingly or unknowingly? Be honest with yourself. Recognizing any past heightist behavior can help you understand the dynamics of heightism better. Many people fighting against racism were once themselves racist; similarly, acknowledging your past behavior is a critical step towards change and empathy.
Avoid Gaslighting Understand that telling short guys to simply improve their mindset or stop caring about their height is harmful and dismissive. Height issues don’t vanish with a change in mindset, especially since societal attitudes often reinforce negative stereotypes. Don’t minimize their experiences or suggest that societal prejudice isn’t significant. Recognize that many people actively contribute to making these issues worse, and don’t pretend they’re a minority. It’s hard out there for a short guy, and your support should acknowledge that reality.

In Your Everyday Life:

Stop Highlighting Height Irrelevantly Unless height is directly relevant to the conversation, don’t bring it up. Avoid comparing your height to that of shorter men, whether they are present or not. Such comparisons can be distressing and humiliating for them. It’s unnecessary to be praised for being tall, so let your actions speak louder than your height. Practicing this can gradually change how you and those around you perceive and discuss height.
Expose Heightism If you don’t laugh at height jokes, take it a step further by openly opposing them. Short men often face a tough choice between accepting harmful jokes and bullying or being ridiculed further for speaking out. Use your advantage of being a "bystander" to challenge inappropriate behavior. Help by challenging heightist mindsets and making it clear that jokes about short men are unacceptable.
Listen and Empathize The most crucial thing you can do is listen. Take your shorter friends' experiences with heightism seriously and strive to do better. While you may not be able to change society, you can make a positive impact on individual lives by not participating in behaviors that oppress them. Show empathy and support by being there for them and advocating for a more inclusive and respectful environment.

In General:

Avoid Condescension Ensure your tone is one of genuine support rather than a savior complex. Your aim should be to stand with them, not above them.
Respect Individual Experiences Understand that not all short men have the same experiences or feelings about their height. While some greatly struggle with it, others may feel unaffected. Tailor your support to the individual rather than generalizing.
Support Your Short Bros! By actively listening, acknowledging your privilege, reflecting on your past behavior, avoiding gaslighting, and challenging heightism in everyday life you can make a meaningful difference. But keep in mind to avoid creating a dynamic where taller people are seen as rescuers. Instead, aim to be allies and partners in combating heightism. Support your short bros, and together we can work towards a society where everyone is treated with respect, regardless of their height. 💪🏻

I've been playing guitar for 3 months now and currently own a Harley Benton Stratocaster. Lately, I've been thinking about expanding my collection, and I'm torn between two options: getting another guitar, specifically an Epiphone SG, or diving into the world of bass guitars.
Here's a bit more context:
Epiphone SG: - I've always admired the look and sound of the SG. - I love playing rock and blues, and the SG seems like a great fit for those genres. - It would be nice to have a guitar with a different tone and feel compared to my Strat.
Bass - I've never played bass before, but I'm intrigued by the idea of learning a new instrument. - Adding a bass to my setup could be fun for recording and jamming with friends. - It might give me a fresh perspective on music and improve my overall musicianship. -the only downside is that I cannot find a bass guitar within my tight budget that actually makes me want to play it by the looks.
What do you think? For those of you who have faced a similar decision, what did you choose and why? Any advice for someone considering this choice?
(Also yes I got an ai to write this for me)
Thanks in advance!

Today I celebrate my 30th day AF. The longest stretch without alcohol in years.
Bloodwork looks great. I have more energy. Anxiety is diminishing. I’ve faced several situations that I have been avoiding. I dwell less on anger and resentments of my past.
Mentally I feel different - somewhat disengaged but in a good way. I don’t watch or listen to the news, deactivated/deleted the most toxic social media accounts (Facebook the worst for me) and deleted meaningless apps.
I wish everyone success in their journey. I am very thankful for this compassionate and caring community.

It just doesn’t make sense anymore. My life was never good at any point but after 2020 I’m constantly being tortured and it’s getting worse and worse. Very bad luck, traumatic experiences, and my body is breaking down. I feel heavy, I can’t think or understand anymore, can’t have conversations, I can’t feel, and can’t function. Even through all of this, I managed to make a lot of progress spiritually but since 2024 it’s gotten 10 times worse, I’m slower than before, lacking physical feelings and everything is falling apart. I’ve also lost progress and went backwards. I’ve gone further backwards than who I was at base and I can’t fix it no matter what. I’ve become an intolerable, unable to think, emotional, unable to speak properly, awkward, and in a constant state of suffering. And I’ve exhausted every option I currently have
I’ve lost so much power within myself from spending it all trying to just function that I’m reduced to crying on this sub because I have no other choice, so if you wanna imply that I’m pathetic and a worthless piece of garbage that can’t change and take charge of his own issues go for it. I quite literally can’t.After everything I’ve went through that’s what I’ve become at the end of the day so you wouldn’t be wrong
My mind is falling apart. I’m becoming somebody I hate, every time I feel an emotion that I don’t want to feel I become latched to it until it consumes me unable to shake it off, to the point where I start punching myself or start clawing at my face because I can’t control my own mind like I used to. if I feel an emotion that I want to feel I either can’t really feel it or something happens in my immediate life to take it away and make me feel the opposite of what I wanted no matter what. I no longer have the intelligence I once had. I can’t think properly anymore, and I’m constantly confused by everything and I can’t understand things. Every mental task has become extremely difficult to the point that basic life is extremely frustrating and very hard.
I have constant nightmares that usually involve me getting killed, mostly by either my mom or my dad, or running from demons trying to steal my soul and trying to violate me sexually which they have and has caused a whole new assortment of issues for me
I lost every human part of me that made me feel alive.
My body is falling apart, I feel extremely heavy, one half of my body is numb and Ive become very weak physically. My vision is worse, my hand eye coordination is worse, everything that is supposed to make you human wether mentally or physically has been stripped from me, leaving me as less than a child, unable to defend myself or move in the world. I have tons of new auto immune diseases and allergies that came from nowhere which are causing me extreme discomfort in everyday life. Breathing feels difficult like it’s an exercise, or like I’m weight lifting so I have to take small breaths and hold it for as long as I can before breathing again and this is very uncomfortable
I hate it. I hate being stuck in this debilitated place as it gets worse and worse, and being unable to express myself about it because nobody understands no matter how I explain it to them or they just gaslight me and insult me like I’m not allowed to live and breathe and speak which is the notion that I’m getting from the universe that I don’t need to be here anymore. It’s like I’m under a curse where I’m forced to suffer hell and nobody is allowed to help me or even show a small level of for it.
Everybody in the world is more liable to treat me like shit now for some reason compared to how it was in 2023. Everyone became hostile and evil towards me because I’m no longer someone that deserves respect. I lost everything that a human is supposed to have internally how is anybody supposed to treat someone like that with respect?
It’s come to the point now where I’m finished. I’ve lost all of my energy and will to live through this shit. I have at least 3 months left in me. After August if things don’t change I’m finished

Hey, I (22M) am looking for friends to go out to concert with. No specifications of genre or age, everyone is welcome.
I love indie pop and Paris has a lot free or cheap concerts going on every day during the week and weekends. Usually between 8pm and midnight.
My friends are not really into these genre (indie pop, dream rock etc) so I don't want to drag them with me, it would be sweet to have enthusiastic people to go with regularly. For exemple i like to go out 2 times a week (not counting the weekends). If you're interested pm me with your instagram, i'll add you and make a group with all interested members so that we can organize.
Ps idk if you prefer Instagram or whatsapp i have no preference really but i feel a phone number is more personal, i just want to avoid reddit chat because it's really bad.

Hello everyone! I wanted to create a post here to share some of my ideas on how to improve some aspects of the adventure, which I believe are lacking in detail and attention. I especially want to improve these things because my players are going to spot some of the weaknesses of the adventure early on, otherwise.
Sorry for the long text ahead! BTW - I am a somewhat newbie DM, with this being my first big campaign. Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
There are four main topics I want to either add or improve to the story:

Vecna’s Link

I do quite like the idea of having the PCs linked with Vecna, so much so that I instructed my PCs to create their character's backstory with something that could link them to Vecna. Two players already choose to be the descendants of previous heroes that defeated Vecna early in time (in Die, Vecna, Die! for example) while another chooses to be a former cultist.
I want to explore this further by bringing this to the attention of Vecna himself - at the fight at the end of the quest in Neverwinter (before the story goes to Evernight), the breaking of the ritual will be noticed by him (in some telepathic form, or by having him take control of the leader of the cult in this section). He will be intrigued by how so many individuals that had some relation to him are together in the same plot, and use some of his power to eliminate this minor issue, and turning this into something more interesting for him - by attempting to turn the players into his undead servants.
But this attempt will get the attention of another powerful being: the Raven Queen. Since Vecna is playing so very close to her domain, the Shadowfell, and attempting something she detests, which is raising undead, she uses her power to intercept and stop this - while hiding the truth from Vecna (he will believe he has additional undead in his cult, but bear them no mind - every servant of his is irrelevant).
She guides the player’s souls and bodies back to Shadowfell and tells them she feels Vecna becomes stronger, and will try to attempt something horrid (the ritual hasn’t yet started here, but with the rituals happening with the Cult of Vecna, preparations are being set in place). She also says that her role in this will be limited to saving the players' life - she must see to the protection of her domain and take care of the souls and memories of the damned, and hasn’t clarity on what Vecna is up to, nor where. She gives final advise to players that they must be on their guard, for she managed to keep the PCs alive, but not prevent Vecna’s influence on their lives, forever changed by his attempt (hence - the link).
Again - Ideas on how to improve this whole part are welcome: I feel some pieces are missing to make this a better fulfilling story.
Then, I also want to create different effects to Vecna’s link, either something each of my players has or have them roll a d6 to gain new powers/abilities. I will work on this this week also.
During the adventure, I intend to have the players have visions and dreams of past atrocities Vecna has performed, like his actions in Vecna Lives! (with the gruesome death of the Circle of Eight), the hardships of the people of Citadel Cavitus, the horrid ritual he once tried to be reborn into (both from Vecna Reborn) and his power during the battle in Sigil, once he tried to take over the multiverse (as described in Die, Vecna, Die!).
But wouldn't Vecna feel this link with the players, you may ask? Well, not in this case. I want to link to be something trivial for Vecna, something he gives to his undead servants so they can travel across the multiverse, past his influence. I am adding this now, due to the second topic I want to improve:

Why the Wizards Three are kept in Sigil waiting? Or, how the multiverse has a problem - interplanar travels are blocked by Vecna.

I felt that the Wizards Three giving the players a fetch quest of such importance, after being the “answer to their prayers”, and just standing there waiting for their return, felt… A bit weird.
We are talking about three of the greatest magical casters of the universe of DnD, one of them (Mordenkainen - if he was the real one) HAD suffered losses of close friends to Vecna. I find it strange that they would just… wait for the calamity to happen while simple adventurers take the burden of saving the multiverse.
So, a fix to this: Vecna’s ritual is disturbing the ability of any individual to travel between planes - unless they have Vecna’s link.
So the Wish made by the Wizard’s work! It gives them the answer of the only possible party of people that Vecna can’t control, and that can go after him and any other magical artefact to stop his ritual.
But really, is the Rod of Seven Parts the only thing that can stop him? Would Tasha and Alustriel really believe in this plan given by Kasdenkainen?
This question made me think of the next topic…

How to use the artefacts of Vecna and Kas, alongside the Rod

I want the Rod to be the key that unlocks the Sword of Kas. Where exactly, I’m not sure. Maybe the Sword is with Miska, somehow? (Would appreciate ideas here :) )
For me, Kas wants to take over Vecna’s ritual and defeat him once and for all. In his twisted mind, he did this once - with his sword. He NEEDS IT BACK. It’s his sole objective, and the closest the PCs could be to achieving this, the more manic Kas could become and the more broken would his disguise appear.
Tasha would agree to this plan, I believe - she could be the one to mention that theories appeared over the years that the Sword contains part of Vecna’s soul - therefore, could be the only thing to eliminate him once and for all.
She and Alustriel could also hint that some cultists seem very keen on finding other artefacts linked to the Whispered God - the Hand, the Eye and the Book of Vile Darkness. If Vecna acquires his artefacts, he would be much more powerful, and hardly anyone would be a challenge.
This would create a race against time - the Rod would be important as both a magical artifact against Vecna, as well as a key to part of his demise. The PCs would have to find clues about where the other artefacts are - which would become clear with the presence of the Cult in several places they would visit.
I want the Eye and/or the Book to be with Acererak and the hand to be in Avernus.
I don’t know how I would work with my players who want to use the artefacts themselves - Ideas here are also very welcome!
Mentioning Avernus brings me to my last topic…

Mordenkainen and Kas - would the famous wizard here be out there “doing his thing” with the multiverse in danger?

Yeah, I don’t think so. Mordenkainen might have been quite self-centered in some past stories, but he always wanted to find balance in the universe.
So much so that, one of his last appearances in 5e, is during the Curse of Strahd - he becomes a Mad Mage after not being able to stop the vampire lord’s reign. The players in this particular adventure can aid him in restoring his sanity, and he will move on travelling the multiverse and stopping by Avernus, in his Tower of Urm, to study the effects of the Nine Hells in the schools of magic and (again) to ensure the balance of the universe.
I want to try to bring his tower to Avernus as well. I want the players to find him there, bring this confusion between them - Mordenkainen knows he is unable to travel, doesn’t know for sure why, but has seen a bigger activity of Vecna’s cultists even in the Hells and the players believe he is in Sigil, with the other two wizards.
I intend this to be the revelation that Kasdenkainen is a fraud - but he is ready for this.
I want the confrontation back in Sigil to happen with either the defeat or escape of Kas - If the players would still want his sword, they would have to face Miska, or something similar later on - and the rest of the story proceed as suggested.
I still need to read the book in much more detail to add all these things. Will get to it right after here, as I should have already received access.
Thank you very much for reading all of this! Feel free to add new ideas and use my own in your table. I am also at the Discord server under the same username.

Hello,
Im 36 YO and I am looking for an old game. Hard to say how old. Maybe 90's, most likely early 00'.
Checked the internet far and wide, even tried chat GPT and alike to no avail.

• The closest game I found was Subspace Continuum. Similar but it was more colorful and looked better.
• Space ship shooter.
• 2D / top down
• It was pretty colorful
• space ship had boost which would zoom you forward and make 'zoom like' sound and live a smoky trail
• took place on stages, you could fall off into space
• stages had circular healing spots in the corner of the map, you could fly onto to fix your ship
• there were little square boxes you could shoot and sometimes get weapons from them
• When you shoot those boxes they would fly everywhere
• everything was very floaty. Ship would not stop immediately, neither would boxes
• there were pretty smoke and explosion effects
• I think you could chose ships
• there were enemy ships, very aggressive and would mess you up easily
• I remember turrets and I think also teleportation spots
• I'm from Poland (could be an obscure Polish game ? Unlikely)
• I would buy a gaming mag called CD-Action which always contained a full game and some demos. Possibly I had it from there. I found a list of all full releases, but sadly not a list of demos.
• At least, I'm pretty sure I only played only a demo

Attached is a very rough attempt at remembering of one of the maps, depicted in paint based on a probably 15-20 year old memory.

In today’s digitally interconnected world, having a robust social media presence is not just a marketing option but a necessity, especially for public companies aiming to engage with current and potential investors. If your company is limiting its social media activity to just one or two platforms, it’s time to reconsider your strategy. Diversifying your social media outreach across multiple platforms can significantly enhance investor awareness and engagement. Here’s why and how to effectively implement this approach.

WHY DIVERSIFY YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE?

Reach a Wider Audience
Every investor has their preferred social media platform. By limiting your presence to just Twitter or LinkedIn, for example, you might miss out on engaging with potential investors who prefer Instagram, Facebook, or even TikTok. Broadening your social media activity ensures that you reach a more diverse audience, maximizing your potential investor base.
Platform-Specific Strengths
Each social media platform has unique features and user demographics. LinkedIn is great for professional updates and detailed company news, while Twitter is excellent for quick, real-time updates. Instagram and TikTok are perfect for visually appealing content, and YouTube allows for in-depth video presentations and earnings calls. Utilizing the strengths of each platform can enhance how you communicate your company’s value proposition.
Enhanced Engagement
Consistent posting across multiple platforms increases your visibility and keeps your company top-of-mind for investors. The more touchpoints you have, the more opportunities for engagement. Diverse content types – from news releases and project updates to interviews and events – can cater to various preferences, making your updates more engaging.

EFFECTIVE MULTI-PLATFORM POSTING STRATEGIES

Tailor Content to Each Platform
While it’s efficient to share the same message across platforms, it’s crucial to tailor your content to fit the style and audience of each platform. For instance, a detailed news release might perform well on LinkedIn but could be condensed into key highlights for Twitter and accompanied by a compelling visual for Instagram. Stock Marketing customizes each post to to align with the unique style and audience of each platform.
Consistency is Key
Regular posting helps maintain your presence and keeps your audience engaged. Posting more than just your news releases not only helps in keeping your audience informed but also improves your algorithmic standing on these platforms, enhancing visibility.

THE BUSINESS CASE FOR MULTI-PLATFORM SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY

Investors today rely heavily on digital channels for information. A strong, multi-platform social media strategy can position your company as transparent, accessible, and innovative. Here’s how it can benefit your business:

• Increased Investor Awareness: By being present on multiple platforms, you increase the chances of your company being discovered by potential investors. This can lead to greater interest and more informed investment decisions.
• Enhanced Brand Image: Active and engaging social media presence can enhance your company’s brand image, portraying it as dynamic and responsive. This is particularly appealing to younger investors who value digital engagement.
• Competitive Advantage: Companies that effectively leverage social media stand out from competitors who might be slow to adopt these strategies. This can give you a significant advantage in attracting and retaining investors.

Incorporating a multi-platform social media strategy is no longer optional but a strategic imperative for public companies. By reaching out to investors on their preferred platforms, tailoring content to fit each medium, and engaging consistently, your company can significantly boost investor awareness and engagement. Embrace the power of social media to unlock new opportunities and drive your company’s growth in today’s digital landscape. Finding it challenging to keep pace with your company’s social media?

I have been noticing that as I get older friends get busier and before I know it I only have a few people that I talk to. I am hoping to work on that and would like to find people to chat with online, since being very introverted makes in-person chats a challenge. A quick self-summary: 5'6", Caucasian Married with one kid Big on nerdy hobbies, including Magic the Gathering, video games, and the like. Live in FL but working on moving to PA as we hate the heat Work in tech and have a doctorate in business Try to stay active, go to the gym 2-3 times a week

Making posts with random requirements has lead to some interesting conversations and a few new friends, so I'm doing this again!
This posts random requirement is an age gap of 25+ (with some wiggle room of a year or two), just because I always get messages from people around my age. This would be a nice way to change things up, and I'd love some fresh perspectives on many things. Just include your age and gender, and I'm open to a face reveal after some time!

I've been told that I have a pretty blank/neutral expression on my face most of the time.
I get anxiety in public because I find it hard to hold a smile when walking around.
I usually have a RBF or a blank expression on my face. Sometimes my mouth will be slightly open, other times closed.
I feel like people think that I'm angry. I've been told this before by family members. I just find it impossible to hold a smile when I'm extremely anxious or depressed.
I don't know what to do. It doesn't help that I'm on a cancer drug that makes my muscles hurt when I force a smile for extended periods of time (although I would expect this is the case for everyone).
Any advice here guys? Thank you.

From Marinate 1016: "Listeners is a show that wanted to be something, but ultimately failed to ever materialise. An interesting/fun concept with poor execution.
The show started off pretty well with a first episode that did manage to catch my attention and get me interested in the world. I got pretty heavy FLCL vibes from it given the focus on adolescence, the sexual undertones and innuendos, etc. However, whereas FLCL had a legitimate plot and was enjoyable to watch, I found many episodes of Listeners downright disorienting and difficult to sit through.
The pacing and narrative are really all over the place with characters coming in and out of the story at random, overt rock and roll/drug references that are beat over your head every damn episode and an extremely confusing overarching story. After watching the entire series, I probably know as much about the series as someone who’s only read the MAL synopsis.
Despite the awful pacing, storytelling and overdone pop culture references, Listeners is rather impressive technically. Some decent CGI scenes, cool character designs, beautiful art and a pretty cool soundtrack. Unfortunately the consistency of its art was not shared by its story. As a result, for only the 6th time in my life, I would have to advise against watching this one.

Despite an interesting concept and world, listeners falls flat on its face. While I appreciate the effort by the studio, it could have been much better with better direction. Listeners gets 5 earless out of 10"

I personally would rate it a 6 overall with some episodes like Teen Spirit being closer to the 7-8 range. The ending definitely was rushed but the music and the concept to me make it so much more than what was actually executed. It did leave a lot to be desired but I think that was partially the intent too. The audience doesn't know what's really going on because neither do the characters. Could it have benefitted from another episode or two? Definitely. Does that mean it's not worth watching? No.

To boost your TikTok live views without gimmicks, here are simple tips. Work on making your live videos better, chat with your viewers, and push your videos well. This will help get more TikTok live views and grow your influence on the app.
Create Compelling and Engaging Live Videos
The best way to get more TikTok live views is to offer great content. Make a plan for your videos to be interesting and focused. Mix in things like answering questions or doing challenges to get your viewers involved. Also, use cool backdrops and props to make your videos stand out.
Interact with Your Audience
It’s key to talk with your viewers during your live videos. Answer their comments and use their names, and ask them things to keep them interested. Making a fun and inclusive space helps keep viewers watching and sharing your videos. This, in turn, gets you more TikTok live views.
Promote Your Live Videos
Spread the word about your live videos beyond TikTok. Use your other social media accounts to let people know. Create fun posts or trailers to get people excited. Working with other TikTokers or influencers can also help reach more people.
Use Trending Hashtags and Captions
To get more views on TikTok, use hashtags that are popular in your area. Find out which ones are trending and use them wisely in your posts. This can help more people interested in your topics find your videos.
Following these strategies can really pump up your TikTok live views the right way. Just remember to keep engaging with your viewers and to promote your videos. This will draw more people to watch your live streams

Hey, I am looking for anyone like me who's looking for a close friend and someone who wants a longterm friendship.
I love making and listening to music a ton, hanging out on vc, playing games like minecraft, project zomboid, terraria (never played much), other games, and talking and texting often about life and just hanging out. Usually I am curious in other things too not listed
I'm a nice guy, and I value friendship alot so if your really hoping to find a close friend, you may want to message me haha.
If you like texting often too then that's even better because I am that kind of person. We can also voice chat once we get used to eachother, i'm free more so in the afternoon-night time with vc.
btw I live in the NW Indiana area, but location isn't much of a factor to me and if your from somewhere else, that's totally ok.

 Thanks for reading the post and hit me up if your interested, and let me know a little about you too! 

To note, this is a continuation of the sagas I wrote that took place after the Cell Saga. The two sagas were written with inspiration taken from MCU Peter Parker's arcs in Far from Home and No Way Home. The goal was to develop Son Gohan into a proper lead for the show. If you'd like to check them out, here are the links!
Bojack (Far From Home) Saga: https://www.reddit.com/fixingmovies/s/sK5zOnJ0oU
Broly (No Way Home) Saga: https://www.reddit.com/fixingmovies/s/R3sGOqdbIv
There are many things I find wrong in the Buu saga:

1. Goku coming back: This derails the narrative tremendously as he snatches back the torch from Gohan. He's going to play a role, but he will stay dead.
2. Gohan's writing: In canon, we ended up with a rusty, goofy, badly written character who lost all the development from the previous sagas. He became a useless disappointment and did not uphold his role as a protector of the earth. This won't go anywhere near that direction.
3. SSJ3 and fusions: These elements were unnecessary as they did nothing to solve the plot and only provided fluff. This can be introduced in Super, but that's another story.
4. Goten and Trunks SSJ: I wasn't a fan of how they easily transformed, treating it as an easy power-up. Here, it will be earned.

What I want to do here is combine the Buu saga with Fusion Reborn. For that movie, there are tons of elements at play that can be used to make the grand finale of Dragon Ball Z, more grand. The goal here is to increase the stakes, trim all the unnecessary fat, give everyone a chance to shine, and keep the main focus on Gohan. I also want to replace Buu with Janemba, as I find him much more threatening due to his unique abilities which would be perfect to challenge Gohan. It's also here that we avoid the rinse-and-repeat problem that came with Buu and his many forms.

Without further ado, here is the...... Janemba Saga!

Seven years have passed since the climactic battle against Broly. Gohan, now a young adult, has diligently pursued a delicate balance between his studies and training. During this time, he has honed his Super Saiyan 2 form and significantly elevated his combat skills. However, he deliberately restrains his power, refusing to succumb to the depths of his inner rage. Gohan believes that his technical prowess alone will suffice, opting to suppress the primal fury within him. Despite his reservations, Gohan attends a prestigious private school on an academic scholarship, alongside his steadfast companion Videl and their circle of friends. Gohan has embraced the responsibility of preserving peace on Earth as a valiant hero, adopting the mantle of Saiyaman. His suit has undergone a sleek redesign, shedding the theatrical poses in favor of a more streamlined appearance. Functioning as a dynamic duo reminiscent of Superman and Batman, Gohan and Videl tackle the city's crime wave together. Videl, having mastered her ki abilities under the tutelage of Piccolo, has grown stronger over the years. Glimpses of their everyday lives reveal the struggles of Gohan as he endeavors to balance the demands of school, training, and personal relationships. Amidst the challenges, he harbors a subtle resentment towards his duty, as it often encroaches upon his cherished personal time. Nevertheless, Gohan persists, fueled by his unwavering determination to live up to his father's legacy.
However, the tranquil facade is shattered when a harrowing turn of events unfolds. The narrative transitions to an otherworldly realm, distinctly separate from Earth. A mysterious figure cloaked in darkness materializes, none other than the malevolent wizard Babidi. Harnessing the unholy power of dark magic, Babidi establishes a sinister connection with his loyal minion Dabura, the King of the Demon Realm. United in their nefarious purpose, they orchestrate an audacious invasion of Otherworld, intent on freeing the formidable demon Janemba. Ages ago, Janemba had been sealed away in this celestial realm by the Supreme Kais. Babidi's malevolent ambition revolves around shrouding the universe in eternal darkness. To achieve this nightmarish vision, he plans to infect the denizens of Earth using the insidious Majin spell, thereby expanding his dominion across countless planets.
In the midst of this burgeoning chaos, Gohan, disguised as Saiyaman, finds himself investigating a peculiar incident involving the possession of one of his dearest friends. Videl, resolute and fearless, engages in a fierce battle against the malevolent puppeteer controlling Sharpner. With unwavering confidence, she urges Gohan to let her confront the threat alone. Sharpner, his strength unnaturally augmented, puts up a formidable resistance, but Videl's experience enables her to subdue him without resorting to fatal measures. As Sharpner awakens from his trance, Gohan seeks answers regarding the enigmatic force that had seized control of his friend. Sharpner reveals that a voice called Babidi had whispered malevolent commands into his mind. Armed with this critical information, Gohan summons Vegeta and Piccolo to join him in unraveling the unfolding crisis, embarking on a journey towards the epicenter of the ominous power emanating from a series of potent and wicked ki signatures, ultimately leading them to Babidi and Dabura.
Meanwhile, Earth becomes a battleground, besieged by an onslaught of resurrected zombies, soldiers, and former villains who once terrorized its populace. Though the trio finds themselves torn between aiding their beleaguered planet and confronting the imminent threat directly before them, they know their immediate priority lies in thwarting Babidi's scheme. Distracting them with his grandiose monologue, Babidi probes their minds, seeking susceptible individuals to manipulate. Initially targeting Vegeta, Babidi redirects his attention toward Piccolo, sensing his inherent duality as a being born of both good and evil. With a combination of Babidi's insidious spell and the lingering malevolence of Piccolo Daimao, the Namekian warrior struggles to resist the overwhelming influence. His powers surge exponentially beyond their previous limitations, clouding his judgment and driving him to confront his former student, Gohan. Amidst the shock of this unforeseen twist, Gohan assumes the responsibility of awakening Piccolo from his trance-like state, determined to restore his mentor's clarity. As the battle rages on, they sense a tremor that reverberates throughout the planet, an unmistakable ki signature brimming with icy coldness, signifying the presence of a singular entity—Janemba.
Bracing himself for the impending clash with this malevolent force, Gohan prepares to face Janemba head-on, while Piccolo embarks on a personal mission to neutralize Babidi. Meanwhile, Vegeta remains locked in a fierce struggle against Dabura, the Prince of Saiyans confronting the King of the Demon Realm. The confrontation unfolds with brutal intensity, and Vegeta finds himself teetering on the edge of defeat. Sensing his adversary's advantage, Dabura unleashes a legion of demons to tip the scales further in his favor. Pushed to his limits, Vegeta fights valiantly, but the odds appear insurmountable. Dabura, consumed by arrogance, revels in his imminent triumph, announcing his intention to unleash the full might of the demon horde upon Earth. Faced with the dire consequences of such a cataclysm, Vegeta musters every ounce of desperation within him. In a moment of self-sacrifice, he unleashes a devastating attack upon Dabura and his minions. The resulting explosion weakens Babidi's forces, repels the encroaching Demon Realm, and safeguards their dimension from untold chaos and devastation.
(Note: I wanted to keep Vegeta's sacrifice but make it matter and count. In canon, it didn't stop Buu, and he sent himself into cold oblivion on a lie. Here, he makes a difference in the long run and has a definitive redemptive moment. )
Startled by the sudden disappearance of Vegeta's powerful ki, Trunks defies the protests of his comrades on the Lookout and rushes towards the chaotic battleground. His heart pounds with trepidation as he races through the smoke-filled air, only to be confronted with the lifeless body of his father lying motionless on the ground. Overwhelmed by a torrent of despair and seething rage, Trunks' trembling hands reach out to shake his father awake, his desperate pleas echoing through the desolate landscape. But his efforts prove futile, and a profound sense of loss engulfs him.
In the midst of this heart-wrenching moment, a surge of raw energy courses through Trunks' veins, igniting a transformation that surpasses the boundaries of his mortal self. Radiating an aura of vibrant golden light, Trunks ascends to the legendary state of the Super Saiyan. His eyes ablaze with determination and fury, he is now ready to face the battle that lies ahead.The scene shifts, revealing the remaining Z-Fighters locked in a perilous struggle against hordes of relentless zombies. Fatigue weighs heavily upon their weary bodies as they fend off the relentless onslaught. Suddenly, a streak of intense power streaks across the sky, and Trunks descends before his comrades, newly transformed and brimming with indomitable strength. A burst of energy erupts from his fingertips, shattering a ki blast launched by one of the zombies, diverting it harmlessly away. In the eyes of his adversaries, astonishment mingles with mockery as they behold the sight of a mere child standing before them.Unfazed by their taunting laughter, Trunks addresses his comrades with unwavering resolve. He declares that he will shoulder the burden of the battle, vowing that not a single life will be lost on this day. With unparalleled speed and precision, he charges towards the encroaching horde, obliterating each zombie with astonishing ease. Their forces crumble beneath the might of his wrath, and the battlefield is transformed into a graveyard of defeated foes.As the last of the zombies falls, Trunks relinquishes his Super Saiyan form, his energy spent and body drained. Collapsing to the ground, he succumbs to exhaustion, his breathing ragged and labored. In this moment of vulnerability, Yamcha, recognizing the young warrior's valor, rushes to his side and gently lifts him from the battlefield, cradling his battered form with utmost care.
(Note: Kid Trunks' transformation is a direct reference to when Future Trunks found Gohan dead after the battle with the androids, and then he transformed. )
While this tumultuous event unfolded, the responsibility of safeguarding the Lookout fell upon the young shoulders of Goten. As time passed, a sudden intrusion disrupted the tranquility of the platform, as a malevolent henchman, infused with the dark power of King Cold, materialized before him. Though momentarily shaken, Goten summoned his courage and engaged in a valiant struggle against his formidable adversary.Initially, it appeared that Goten held his ground admirably, skillfully countering the attacks launched by the nefarious duo of Salza and Dore. However, their sinister coordination gradually began to overpower the young warrior. In a devastating display of force, Salza executed a malicious kick that sent Goten hurtling towards the precipice of the Lookout, teetering on the brink of unconsciousness.
Witnessing her son's battered and vulnerable state, Chi-Chi, consumed by a mixture of horror and fury, lunged at Salza in a desperate attempt to defend her child. Yet, her efforts proved futile as Salza callously seized her by the throat, mercilessly constricting the life from her. From his weakened position, Goten, wide-eyed and mouth agape, struggled to remain conscious, his mind besieged by the conflicting emotions of impending death and the weight of disappointment.
In that critical moment, he closed his eyes, his teeth sinking into his lip until blood stained his mouth. His trembling hands clenched into tight fists. And then, something within him snapped, unleashing a primal force that lay dormant within.Goten vanished, replaced by an embodiment of unbridled rage. Transformed into a Super Saiyan, his furious aura radiated with an intensity that defied comprehension. With a surge of unrestrained power, he propelled himself towards Salza, obliterating his malevolent foe with a devastating blast that eradicated him from existence. Undeterred by the remaining henchmen who sought to avenge their fallen comrade, Goten engaged them with a newfound ferocity.In a breathtaking display of combat prowess, it took mere moments for Goten to dispatch his adversaries, consigning them to the depths of the afterlife. Unaware of his mother's watchful gaze, Chi-Chi bore witness to the astonishing transformation of her once-innocent son, her heart filled with awe at the unfathomable power he now wielded.
(Note: This is a reference to when Superman had attacked Zod for attacking Martha in Man of Steel. With this, Goten is able to break out of his shell and experience some development. I also did not want Chi-Chi to die, but to have it be close. This way, she can witness firsthand her son fighting to avenge her and realizing that his saiyan blood kicked in to save them all, which would lead to some development towards her accepting that they have the natural power to fight, but also protect. )
Simultaneously, amidst the chaos, Piccolo found himself embroiled in a fierce battle of magic. His objective was to shatter the impenetrable barrier erected by his adversary, Babidi, to halt the relentless proliferation of Majin-infused beings. The odds were stacked against him, but with unwavering determination, Piccolo summoned the strength to rupture the barrier, ultimately delivering a fatal blow to Babidi. In doing so, he succeeded in halting the insidious spread of the Majin curse.Meanwhile, Gohan, driven by an overwhelming surge of power in his Super Saiyan 2 form, charged headlong at the formidable Fat Janemba, intent on swiftly ending the confrontation. Displaying remarkable valor, Gohan engaged his adversary with all his might, momentarily gaining the upper hand in fleeting bursts of fury. However, Janemba's energy continued to surge unabated, gradually overpowering Gohan and relegating him to a defensive stance.With the battle reaching its climax, Janemba unleashed a devastating onslaught aimed at obliterating the planet. In a desperate bid to protect all that he held dear, Gohan fearlessly interposed himself between Janemba's lethal assault and the world, extending his arms wide as he summoned the last vestiges of his ki to create a resolute energy shield. The technique demanded one final act of defiance, compelling Gohan to redirect the unleashed energy back towards Janemba, propelling the malevolent entity backward and teetering on the precipice of annihilation. Yet, the maneuver exacted a heavy toll on Gohan, leaving him grievously injured and drained of consciousness, hurtling through the sky and crashing deep into the untamed wilderness.
(Note: This maneuver is a mix of what Gohan did against Broly in Movie 10, and what Future Gohan did in his last battle against the androids.)
Subsequently, Supreme Kai, recognizing the dire condition of the young warrior, transported Gohan to the realm of the Kais. As Gohan gradually regained consciousness, he found himself surrounded by the presence of Supreme Kai, Kibito, and his father, Son Goku. Unbeknownst to Gohan, while the realms beyond had been engulfed in pandemonium, Goku had valiantly sought to subdue numerous formidable adversaries, most notably Broly. Upon learning of Gohan's presence on that distant planet, Goku implored for the opportunity to visit his son, a request that was granted amidst the bittersweet reunion.During their heartfelt meeting, they shared the weight of overseeing the turmoil ravaging Earth, realizing that Janemba still lingered, amassing the remnants of malevolent ki left unvanquished. Panic washed over Gohan as he urgently expressed his need to return to Earth, but his pleas were met with cautionary words from his loved ones. They acknowledged his unpreparedness to face Janemba anew, warning of the potential consequences should he engage the foe prematurely. Supreme Kai disclosed his true intention in bringing Gohan to this realm—to unlock the dormant power lying dormant within him. However, the process demanded a profound reconciliation of Gohan's dual nature as both human and Saiyan. To initiate this transformative ritual, Gohan would be immersed in a meditative trance within the sacred confines of a cascading waterfall, which would serve as a mirror reflecting his true self. Only then would he embark upon the arduous journey of unlocking his latent potential, fully aware that failure could result in dire consequences, even death.
Nervously, Gohan steeled himself for the imminent trial, drawing strength from the unwavering support of his father. With resolute determination, he approached the cascading waterfall, where Supreme Kai initiated the trance, enveloping Gohan in an ethereal aura of introspection.As the ritual commenced, Gohan's gaze fixated grimly upon vivid recollections of his past battles, struggling to reconcile the moments when he had succumbed to his own wrath. Before long, a projection materialized, representing his suppressed Saiyan essence—a separate entity demanding to be acknowledged. A tumultuous clash ensued between the two facets of Gohan's being, with the young warrior faltering in his attempts to gain the upper hand, for each surge of anger only fueled his other self. Finally, a profound realization washed over Gohan, piercing through the haze of conflict. He ceased resisting and, instead, extended a hand of acceptance and understanding to his Saiyan counterpart, embracing the essence of his true nature. In that transformative instant, the boundaries dissolved, merging into a harmonious unity. Gohan's eyes fluttered open as he awakened from the trance, reborn in his newfound Ultimate Form, his essence finally whole and indomitable.
(Note: Yes, this is a direct reference to Naruto obtaining true mastery of his nine tails form in Shippuden. I did not like Gohan's canon mystic ritual because it did not feel earned. He just sat around for a long time doing nothing and gained nothing from it. I wanted to fix that. So here, he went through a more direct ritual at the risk of death to be able to unlock his true abilities. )
In the midst of these events, Trunks and Goten find themselves under the tutelage of Piccolo within the formidable Hyperbolic Time Chamber. News reaches Piccolo that Gohan is undergoing a transformative process to unlock his latent potential, but the looming return of Janemba threatens to disrupt their plans. Exiting the chamber, Trunks and Goten emerge stronger than ever, having mastered their Super Saiyan forms and honed their teamwork to near perfection, compensating for their inherent power limitations.As Janemba crosses paths with them, the clash erupts in a spectacular display of martial prowess. Individually, they stand little chance against the overwhelming might of Janemba, but when united, a different narrative unfolds. Their combined efforts aim to sustain the battle long enough, providing Gohan with the precious time he needs to complete his ritual. Piccolo assumes leadership, valiantly holding his ground, although it becomes increasingly evident that Janemba possesses a distinct advantage. Piccolo strategically diverts Janemba's attention, creating openings for Goten and Trunks to launch coordinated assaults that vex their adversary, even if their impact is minimal. Nonetheless, every second counts.
In a fateful turn of events, Janemba unleashes an assault that overwhelms Piccolo, incapacitating him and leaving only Goten and Trunks to face the malevolent entity. Swift as a phantom, Janemba materializes in front of Trunks, delivering a devastating blow to his abdomen, leaving Goten as the lone defender. Standing tall, Goten defiantly assumes a battle stance, mustering his courage. However, before Janemba can unleash a devastating attack upon him, an unknown figure delivers a powerful kick to Janemba's head, hurtling him towards the distant mountains.
The camera pans, revealing the figure to be none other than Gohan, resplendent in his newfound form.
(Note: This entrance directly mirrors that of Future Gohan when he was about to begin his final battle against the Androids!)
A wave of elation washes over Goten as he beholds the return of his beloved elder brother, while Trunks and Piccolo visibly exhale with relief. Gohan and Piccolo exchange a brief but meaningful exchange, Gohan acknowledging his newfound strength while Piccolo recognizes that Gohan has ascended to an entirely different echelon. Janemba regains his footing, reemerging before them, demanding their attention and focus. Gohan asserts that he will confront Janemba directly, urging the others to evacuate. Though reluctant, Piccolo and the young warriors comply, dispersing to various parts of the world to address the chaos that plagues their surroundings.
With an air of fury, Janemba charges at Gohan, his fist extended menacingly. Yet Gohan intercepts the attack, seizing Janemba's fist in a vice-like grip, and in a flash of teleportation, they are transported to the dreaded realm of H.F.I.L. (Home For Infinite Losers).
(Note: I have Gohan teleport Janemba because at least this way their battle will not damage Earth. Also we will assume Gohan has figured out some sort of Instant Transmission movement like Goku.)
The eyes of Earth's denizens, the Kais, and the denizens of the Otherworld are fixated on this pivotal moment, the culmination of a battle that will determine the fate of the universe. And so, the clash commences, a cataclysmic struggle that echoes through the very fabric of existence.
In a breathtaking display of power, Gohan initially dominates the battle, effortlessly overpowering Janemba with his newfound might. However, the tables turn when Janemba unveils unexpected abilities: space-time manipulation and a formidable sword. Gohan is caught off guard, unsure of how to counter such unorthodox tactics. Desperation and frustration consume him, causing his control over his own power to slip away.Amidst the chaos, Gohan experiences a moment of revelation, a surge of understanding regarding his opponent's abilities. He realizes that in order to anticipate Janemba's next move, he must heighten his senses by channeling his ki, allowing for precise timing and swift reactions. With this newfound clarity, Gohan regains his composure, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. Seizing an opportunity, Janemba materializes before him, poised to strike with his sword. Yet, in a stunning display of strength, Gohan catches the blade with both hands, shattering it into pieces.
The tide of the battle begins to shift, albeit slightly, in Gohan's favor. Frustrated and bewildered, Janemba exclaims, "Just what...are you?!" Gohan responds with unwavering resolve, proclaiming, "I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace. I am the protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!"
(Note: I'm taking Goku's dubbed speech against Frieza and repurposing it for Gohan. As he's inherently more the justice-driven hero archetype rather than the fighting maniac that is Goku, it makes more sense. We'll just assume Goku gave Frieza the manga version of his speech. This is also the most pivotal moment of Gohan's journey as he comes to terms with being a protector. Throughout the show, he's been struggling between his desire to be a scholar and his responsibility to be a hero. That dubbed speech is exactly the moment that Gohan's arc comes full circle. Here, he finally embraces what he was always meant to be..... the hero.)
With renewed determination, Gohan launches various assaults in a bid to defeat his formidable adversary. However, his attacks fail to inflict lasting damage, and Gohan himself begins to exhaust his ki. It is then that he realizes the true nature of Janemba's existence—he is an embodiment of pure evil ki, unlike any opponent Gohan has faced before. A desperate plan takes shape in Gohan's mind. Mentally reaching out to his friends and even Videl, he calls upon them to gather their ki, reminiscent of the Spirit Bomb technique. Initially, only the Z-Fighters respond, but their combined energy proves insufficient.As Gohan valiantly defends against Janemba's onslaught, he mentally pleads with the people of Earth to lend their aid. Uncertainty and doubt cast a shadow over the crowd until Hercule steps forward, berating them for refusing to support the man who once saved them during the Cell Games. Revealing the truth of Gohan's identity as the Delivery Boy turned hero, the tide of public opinion shifts. People extend their hands, offering their energy to their savior. Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Gohan is relieved by the surge of ki coursing through him, providing a momentary opening to kick Janemba away. The collective assistance grants Gohan a substantial reservoir of energy, which he then summons forth, infusing it with the very essence of his soul—a daring and perilous maneuver.
Driven to his breaking point, a furious Janemba ascends into the sky, conjuring a colossal sphere of malevolent ki capable of obliterating the entire universe. Gohan remains calm, his gaze fixed upon the impending cataclysm. With unwavering resolve, he declares, "This is the end for you, Janemba." Closing his eyes, Gohan raises his left hand above his head, conjuring a radiant sphere of rainbow light. Seizing the opportunity, Janemba hurls his devastating attack towards Gohan. Sensing the imminent danger, Gohan's eyes snap open as he crushes the ball of energy in his palm. Swiftly pivoting, he hurls the fragmented energy towards the oncoming attack, effortlessly piercing through it, and hurtling towards Janemba, finally eradicating the universe's peril once and for all.
(Note: This is the same technique as Kid Buu's Planet Burst move, the one that destroyed Earth. I also repurposed Gogeta's stardust breaker technique for Gohan as I feel it makes sense for him to have it. It also makes him stand out from Goku even more in this case.)
As the dust settles, Gohan maintains his energy long enough to witness Janemba's demise. A triumphant smirk graces his face as he remarks, "Heh, looks like I finally did it." Exhausted, he collapses to the ground, almost completely drained. The onlookers erupt into joyous cheers, celebrating Gohan's hard-fought victory. Supreme Kai teleports Gohan from the depths of H.F.I.L back to Earth, specifically to the Lookout, where his family and friends eagerly await his return. In a heartwarming scene, Gohan is enveloped in embraces and expressions of relief. It is here, amidst the warmth of their loved ones, that Gohan and Videl share their first kiss—a tender moment of connection and celebration.Meanwhile, the Dragon Balls work their magic, rectifying the chaos caused by Babidi's dark influence. The majority of those who perished are revived, yet there are exceptions, including Vegeta. Accepting his fate and determined to atone for his past deeds, Vegeta expresses his desire to continue growing stronger in the afterlife, entrusting the protection of his family to his son. Tearfully, Trunks vows to make his father proud, with Goten stepping forward to support his friend in this emotional moment. Fond farewells are exchanged as everyone prepares to return to their respective homes.
Gohan and Goten engage in a heartfelt conversation, their bond as brothers strengthening. However, their exchange is interrupted by Chi-Chi, who unexpectedly interrupts their conversation. To their astonishment, she expresses pride in their valiant efforts to safeguard the world, finally relenting and granting them permission to train and protect. The three embrace, their family united and resolute.In a different realm, Vegeta stands before King Yemma, awaiting judgment. To his surprise, he is granted an Otherworldly body, a result of Goku's recommendation and Vegeta's ultimate sacrifice that tipped the scales of justice. With this second chance, Vegeta is granted the opportunity to train ceaselessly and, more importantly, to settle his unfinished business with Goku. The final scene between Goku and Vegeta unfolds, their fists colliding in a charged confrontation, their image freezing .( mirroring the intensity of Rocky and Apollo in Rocky III, leaving their ultimate showdown to the imagination.)
A decade passes, marked by a time skip. Tien and Krillin have established their own martial arts schools, dedicated to passing on their unique styles to the next generation. Goten and Trunks, under the tutelage of Piccolo, diligently train to harness their extraordinary powers. Gohan, now a respected scholar, has married Videl, and together they have a daughter. At home, Videl imparts the basics of combat to their daughter, Pan. Gohan, having just finished delivering a lecture on energy at the university, senses a disturbance reverberating across the planet. Instinctively, he rushes to the rooftop, pressing a button on his wrist. In an instant, he transforms into his iconic Saiyaman costume, soaring into the horizon with a mischievous grin. He breaks through the fourth wall, symbolizing his unwavering resolve to protect and inspire.
The screen fades to black.
The End.
There we have it! My final wrap-up of the MCU Peter ParkeGohan development journey! Honestly, I did have thoughts of just going straight into revising the Buu arc, but I felt there was more to be done before that. Gohan needed to go through the development I gave him in my two written arcs as there were lessons there that shaped him.
I also felt that a trained Gohan, who is naturally intellectual, would be a perfect antagonist in Janemba. He had to learn to outsmart him, and not just have it be a straight-up slugfest.

Now for a little background my partners mother is incredibly toxic. Ignored her sons mental health, blamed others for his problems and multiple times tried to ruin her sons father's image to me when we started dating.
I'm a very open and out there person, and was taught by my family to express my feelings and not hide. So when I saw my partner hiding his feelings and hiding his issues I told him to stop. To start seeking help and confide in me. Which in turn then turned into him snapping and shouting his true fears and anger at his family when they bugged him.
They then blamed me for his mental health being in the ground and tried to make him leave me, but he chose to stay. Further down the line I had to save him from life attempts and more. This made them hate me more as I asked them many times to help him and said things like he was faking it to it wasn't my business.
Eventually things died down a little. They still told him to leave me but it never worked.
Then last year my mother passed away very abruptly, my partner is a first aider but also someone I need, so I called him to come support me. His mother then told him and his step dad I was FAKING until she was outside and saw ambulances.
This made it hard to see each other.
Things were still tense but died down, later in the year around September time, he moved in with me to escape his family and so we could see each other more and see his family whenever plans where made. Now my fiance is a very introverted person, and rarely makes plans and if he does he usually forgets or cancels. Which often ment he didn't see his family. (They also made no effort to see him) So since Nov ’23 up until yesterday they fought with him.
Telling people I was controlling him and never let him out. When I was actively trying to do the opposite even taking him to my own family outings to include him.
How the issue that's made me make this post.
On our 18th birthday in April we had a small fight as I'm very off with alcohol and don't really like it. He however likes to drink on occasion. We had plans but he went behind my back and planned a small get together when we got home from our plans with his family. Without me. I was upset but understood. I asked him not to drink much as I have a fear of vomiting and couldn't help him if he was drunk. He made a promise to me to be home by 10 and not be drunk. After ignoring me on both and coming home at midnight we fought but sorted the issue. However his mother hated I was messaging him for info. Called me a liar and controlling, saying he wasn't drinking and why does it matter where he is. I struggle with anxiety to an extent my partner made me get life360 so if I was worried I could check. And I had proof he was at a bar and he even showed me he was. Which I showed her and told her as his partner I'm not wrong to want to know he is ok. As I said we as a couple had already sorted the issue, she hadn't.
Over the past few days she's been telling him your coming home ECT ECT.
After the birthday issue I chose to go no contact with her, and if she's was adamant about speaking to me it would have to be in the presence of my father as she's made threats to hit and choke me. Well yesterday she called to say he's coming home now if buts or maybes and that she wanted to speak to me. As I said I didn't want to speak with her. So she threatened to come to our house. We told her no but she still came.
She shouted at my partner for nearly an hour to come down, to drag me to her to chat, even going as far to say I do bad things to him, speak for him and control him, threading to call the police and say I was no treating him right.
As 18 year olds home alone I was scared, I called my father for advice and was told "either you call the police or I will and I won't hold my tongue" (references the threats she's made to me) so I did, the police came and took a statement and left.
Now this morning his mother basically said you have chosen to cut me off. (My family have said it was just a blackmail message) Saying she won't be there and how there relationship is over.
He was upset but told me it wasn't my fault but he did wish I just spoke to her.
His best friend who also doesn't like me for the "controlling" reasons. Has now told his gf who was also my friend that I've ruined him ECT ECT and she's now dropped me.
I've tried for almost 5months to avoid fights and I still ruined his mother, best friend and my friend. By not speaking. It's highly likely any of the people from the story may find this.

TLDR: PARTNERS MOTHER HATED I HELPED HER SON AND HE DIDNT SEE HER SO SHE SCREAMED AT US AND THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND SHE DISOWNED MY PARTNER.
