I've seen you quite liked these last time, so I made a few new ones when I saw fitting texts.

This stupid thing has been stuck in my head for weeks

You know, I think that it's really cool that you translate doujinshi.

I'm currently working on a yugioh fanfic where the premise is based around doujinshi. It's a really weird book, and it has characters from every series but Sevens and Go Rush (season 0 too), but it's what I'm doing.

But anyways, I like doujinshi and i like that you translate some of them. I'll have to check them out sometime!

Thank you! If I was just a little better at Japanese, I would do it more but as it is it's pretty time consuming. Really good practice though. I definitely want to do more. It actually makes me have a lot more feelings about the doujinshi I translate because I have to think so much about the characters feelings to figure out the best way to phrase things. It's usually not a strictly literal translation since I want everything to feel as natural in English as possible. That part's really fun and cool. I'd love to be on a team where I can focus on the adaptation aspect.

my favorite kind of character is the kind who deep in their soul is constantly screaming LOVE ME LOVE ME LOVE ME and outwardly expressing literally anything else

What's your favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! ship?

oof... I'm such a zexal multi shipper ... I guess if I really has to pick....

Vector/Yuma? post canon? with vector trying to relearn how to not be a total destructive/self destructive bastard and backsliding but also trying to better. Or sometimes I just like messy manipulative midcanon too. But mostly the post-canon. Does Yuma deserve better? Absolutely. But I do love the dynamic of a sunshine boy with monsterous boyfriend only he can handle and everyone else is afraid of. Vectors like a feral cat that gets pliable in Yuma's arms. That's the type I love.

Second most read is shark/yuma. It's so adorbs and usually written in a very true to character feeling way. Shark being tsundere gay and Yuma being kind of oblivious is my fav reading of that. But then also as soon as Yuma isn't oblivious and returns some affection shark is so embarrassed about his mushy feelings he could die.

Vector/Nasch is what I've spent the most time on personally because I've RPed it for a year and a half with raemanzu. Enemies to lovers. It's fun. Lots of fun dynamics to be had.

I also have this soft spot for post canon Vector/Merag and them kinda healing from being the playthings of gods together more directly than most of the other characters. But they also get to be toxic to each other for a while first. I kinda see them both being teenage burnouts together for a while.

my most enjoyed ultra rarepair is probably ... post canon Astral/Vector... Lol. Astral is interesting in relationships because he's an AI and because he's naive so Vector could mess with that a lot... but in his better healing moments, similar to Merag, I can see Vector and Astral bonding over being used by various godly forces as weapons of mass destruction and expected to have no other purpose.

Other shout outs: Yuma/astral, shark/iv, judai/Johan (with our without Yubel in there), judai/Yubel...

so you replied to my post on that gif i have, saying that it was real and from one of the last episodes.

which episode was it? because i've been wondering what was happening and where it was happening for a long time. Because it looks almost like yuma is older...

Yeah it looks like he's older, however I think it's just the animator's style as it doesn't carry through the rest of the episodes (or even the rest of that episode, as it appears to me that once the duel starts, the style changes back to the usual and isn't quite as nice).

I looked it up at it's ep 144 (third to last episode), 2:05. Then I started laughing because of all the people for him to be looking at with that face, it's... Tokunosuke.

It's when he's seeing Tokunosuke alive again and basically realizing all his friends (well, almost all, cough) are rematerializing after "dying" and floating off to barian world (but this is before the numeron code revives the more dead ones).

Rio/Merag Redesign

Click for better quality!

More notes about the Redesign under the cut!

-Okay, first of all- BURN SCRAS. Queen was so long in the hospital after her fire accident, completely wrapped in bandages and there is literally nothing showing?? No, girl is a survivor and it shows. If the writers decide to put her in the hospital for like 75% of her screen time, then at least show the consequences that came out of it. She also can’t completely open her left eye anymore. It’s not blind, she just can’t completely open it.

-She also has PTSD from the incident and is afraid of fire ever since. She can stand it with loved ones around, but she‘ll never go alone near a fire again, because it gives her major flashbacks. (Rio isn‘t the only barian with PTSD. Honestly I think all of them have it, some more so than others for different reasons.)

-She is also officially a jock girl. We saw her rock every sport possible at school. I think in my redesign, she wouldn’t be in the drama club, but in a sports club, like football or basketball (probably even being captain). And for those wondering what her shirt says, it says „Heartland Academy“. The 48 actually being related to her star Merak.

-Although she is a confident queen, she still has some demons to deal with and isn’t really comfortable with showing ALL her scars (hence the sport leggings under her shorts). It actually took her a lot of time to go out again after being released from the hospital. But with the help of her family, especially Ryouga and Durbe and her friends, she‘s slowly healing.

-I also headcanon her as a lesbian. I confess to being a Rio x Anna shipper. Especially after seeing prompts and fanart of them bonding over burn and explosion scars. Love me some mechanic and jock lesbians.

-I think the Greek nationality explains itself, since she‘s Ryouga‘s twin. So if you want my reasoning for that, check out my Ryouga/Nasch redesign.

-Of course she has the sibling ring and the friendship bracelet with Ryouga and Durbe.

-Now to Merag. I tried to make her look like her barian form and also using lighter colours for her, since Iused darker ones for Nasch. Also gave her the tiara she has in her barian form, because she is ROYALTY.

-I also gave Merag actually short hair and a long veil, to kinda give the illusion of long hair, because back then it was unusual for women to wear short hair. But she wanted it short, because she also practises sword fighting. Durbe was teaching her in private. She‘s actually better than Nasch at it and always kicks his ass in (sword) duels. This could also be a reason, why Rio is so frustrated at losing to Ryouga in card game duels. Because her soul was so used to winning against him.

-SHE‘S AN ORACLE. She was bestowed the gift of foresight by Apollo. She gets visions of the future. It’s mostly why she became head priestess. She also got them way less, when being reborn, because she and her soul had to get used to regularly getting future visions again. They could be big visions, like enemy‘s approaching or just small things. Like in the middle of doing something she suddenly spaces out before saying: „Oh my Abyss, Vector is going to fall down on the parking lot in 10 minutes, I gotta see that-“

finally zine posting! :D aaaa i’m so late..

this was the first of the two pieces i did for @ygocookbookzine ! 🍨 i did alit’s BARian milkshake, with a lil er um diner twist 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

this was my first zine experience and it was super fun to do! everyone was so sweet and did amazing, i’m really proud of all our hard work! 😊💞💞

aaaaand some wip stuff under the cut! working on this was so fun <33

the original idea

yes it was a lot. no i couldn’t fit the hands in. very sad about that tbh

the 3ds had to be there (cuz like???? the 3ds zexal game?? i had to show that somehow)

the colors were hard to decide and i eventually settled, but i still like the darker one ngl…. the red eye is so cool

and a bonus that i never got to flesh out in time, which is ok! maybe someday

also psst… the bow tie heart’s face was based off of omori’s sprout moles! 🌱 and the menu hearts were based off hanna-barbera cartoons! 🐻 bonus fun fact :0

this was so fun! 😊💞💞
