on "yamis", "hikaris", and their respective nicknames.

not sure if it still happens or its been long phased out, but the early eng fandom used the term hikari 光 (literally, light as in "ray of light") when referring to yugi, ryou, and malik.

twas a no-brainer of course. the opposite of dark is literally light after all. thematically (esp in fanwork), its admittedly incredibly intimate to have the yami 闇 dark halves call their better halves "my dear/little hikari", etc, etc.

but for posterity, the actual and catch-all jp term for yugi, ryou, and malik is omote 表 (the front, public face, outside surface). within ygo context, "light" is an acceptable translation. I know, "my dear/little omote" sounds funny and doesnt hit as hard lmao just call them little meowmeows at that point 😂 hikari just sounds better.

clips of the maliks using the term.

MALIK: ご名答　表の獏良にはボクの意識を埋め込んでおいた

Y.MALIK: あのデッキには表のマリクも勝てなかったっけなぁ

as we all know, atem/bakura/y.malik have their own nicknames for yugi/ryou/malik.

① atem called yugi "the other me" (twice iirc) before settling on aibou 相棒, meaning "partner". the difference between his and yugis "other me" is pronouns, as atem uses the more masculine ore オレ while yugi uses boku ボク.

it wouldve been awkward eng, but a way to differentiate this in the first pic below wouldve been atem saying "the other I". in the eng manga, it wasnt clear who was speaking.

② y.malik only ever used shujinkaku sama 主人格サマ for malik if not referring to him by name. it literally means "primary", "main", or "master persona".

"master" suffices as a shorthand to make it flow seamlessly in eng.

now............

③ bakura calls ryou yadonushi sama 宿主様 aka "landlord" or "host" if not calling him directly by full name (most prominent during monster world, which comes off as very clinical to me tbh). we all know the implications: bakura is a parasite and "pays rent" to ryou.

bakura has also called ryou goshujin sama ご主人様. it can mean "master", "landlord", or "head of the house".

the millennium ring complete edition promo vid caused a bit of a stir on the jp side since bakura referred to ryou as shujinkaku sama 主人格様 rather than yadonushi 宿主.

lesser known fact: when ch280 first came out in shounen jump, it had a typo. instead of 宿主, bakura called ryou aibou 相棒 ("partner", what atem calls yugi).

it was corrected afterwards when the chapters were collected into volumes (tankos, bunkos, etc).

there you have it. the evolution, the lack thereof, and the mistakes made when it comes to nicknames, fandom and official alike!

side note: in jp, omote 表 by itself exclusively refers to yugi. 闇表 is the jp pairing for y.yugi/yugi.

ghhh I'll get used to it but I'm not a fan of Adrien's redesign 😭 his hair is so flat and looks so weird ... and like, if were bad across the board that would be disappointing, but whatever, c'est la vie. but it's not ?? which is so much more frustrating ??

like wtf why didn't they didn't use Chat's new hair ??? it's loads better, and at least bears some resemblance to its pre-redesign counterpart. this shit makes no fucking sense. BLECH.

executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.

& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”.  it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it. 

i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks. 

im trying. im trying. please help me get up.
