And I've never felt alone, until I met you. ✨

[tarteaumiel]

ermm . so. im watching the orichalcos arc and i have a lot of thoughts about these two.

[blenderbender1811]

Joey: I can fix her! Valon: Yeah well I can accept that the atrocities are a part of her and I've decided they're funny.

[yugioh-rare-pair-poll]

Round 1: Poll 9

Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Twistedshipping (Shadi/Maximillon Pegasus | Pegasus J. Crawford)

Propaganda: Shadi is a grief stricken spirit with no one to talk to and Pegasus is a lonely rich boy with time & money but no one to share it with. They've both suffered heavy loss and mad terrible decisions as a result. They've hurt people and are both people who are hurting. But they wear it differently; no one can see Shadi unless he allows it but Pegasus is a public figure. He must be seen, though no one can get close without his permission. The roles they play are so important to the people who the roles serve and yet they're always at a distance from the comfort of the people. All that to say, they should get to hug and be happy. Also the fan art is just beautiful. | Pegasus lamented how his heart was like the empty canvas he toted around half the world longing to fill, then immediately painted a portrait of Shadi and hung it up next to the portrait of his deceased wife. Pegasus clearly idolized Shadi for giving him the Millennium Eye, even though Shadi showed little regard for him, probably thinking of Pegasus as just another necessary step in moving fate along. I think it’s immensely interesting to explore how they both might grow around each other, and how they might recontextualize their shared past after spending more time together. Pegasus would start to see Shadi with something other than blinding adoration, and Shadi would recognize and appreciate Pegasus as a person and not a pawn. The ship has plenty of angst, but room for hurt/comfort and character exploration. And they both at some point, in Yugioh R and Dark Side of Dimensions, adopted a bunch of orphans and took on the role of a father figure; so there’s more fluffy AU potential, too.

Pairing 2: Conquestshipping (Mai Valentine| Mai Kaijiu/Valon )

Propaganda: Valon really seemed to care for Mai, at least according to child me that just never saw the spark of Polar shipping but immediately latched on to Conquest shipping after seeing Valon and Mai interact. Plus they have shared trauma; huzzah for trauma bonding! I just think Mai had more chemistry with Valon than with Joey. | I love that this ship is doomed and bad from the start. He’s the rebound and they both know it, and they’re stuck trying to move past that and never quite managing it. And at the same time Valon is totally devoted to Mai in a way that’s both sweet and pointless. Strong tragedy, strong sad ship.

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will be banished to the Shadow Realm.

Introducing Mai the tiger and Valon the wolverine

I started my Yu-Gi-Oh! x Sonic au designs a while ago and I plan to make drawings of everyone but I thought it would be cute to redraw this scene from season 4 with their designs

[kingkatsuki]

I remember in Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom they always used to give the cutest names to character ships. Like spiritshipping (the greatest ship of all time) or conquestshipping and I’m trying to think of what Mai and Joey’s was because that was cute too sigh.

But like we should do that now krbk is SO boring. Give me poprocks, or give me explosionvibrations (okay so I never said I would come up with the ship names) but like it’s SO cute bring back cute ship names🥲

[just-sg]

See, the dub did have the "as a team" part that admittedly would have been nice, but past that...

Hope you don't mind the bit of rambling. This season for all its faults is arguably my favorite arc of any media of all time and I love these babies. Will put under a cut.

(To be clear though before I dive in - This isn't a "this is why Conquestshipping is Superior", I poly ship to hell in general and Conquest and Sacrifice are both extremely dear to me. Just as a disclaimer.)

So in the dub, it's... "We'll take them on together. We need each other. No, you don't want power, I know what you want and it's revenge. Don't you remember when we met? I saved you, I took away the pain (that you're still experiencing but don't think about that) and I can do it again. Deep down I know you feel the same way I do." And all the while Mai is telling him "Get lost. I don't like you. You don't know me. No. Go away." And it cuts out anything that would contradict that.

In the dub, he's a lot pushier and keeps insisting she "needs" him and trying to tell her what she thinks and feels.

-

Sub Valon in general is just a much more nuanced character (though actually getting his proper backstory accounts for a significant chunk of that), but as far as the desert scene in 165...

It's instead, "Let me do it. This guy being around is making you miserable, but beating him yourself won't actually make you feel any better." And he's right. "I've always known you were afraid of defeat, after how you reacted to our first meeting, but as I've gotten to know you, I've realized it's more than that, isn't it? You need victory, but it's never enough. You can't even take satisfaction in your wins because you're always worried about where the next hit will come from." She stammers that he doesn't know what he's talking about, but the flashback they cut from the dub of her thinking back to the cage match and how numb she felt in that victory shows us she knows he's right.

"I can tell because it's like looking in a mirror. I've lived the same way my whole life, without a cause. I was fighting for the sake of fighting, winning for the sake of winning, until I found something I actually want to fight for. And that's you." And where the dub just kind of clumsily had him say out loud we're both lonely and misunderstood, this Valon doesn't say it, but it's much more thoroughly present. It's a recurring thing, he likes her because he finds her relatable, she makes sense and makes him feel seen. The whole thing is based on him being able to read her like a book and resonating deeply with the story in those pages.

(And where in the dub the later conflict with Jou is more "boys fite bc girl", in the sub it's "You've never been able to understand her, but I do, and I accept her as she is even at her worst" versus "I don't always get her, but I've seen the compassionate sides of her you haven't, and I have faith she can get through this with help from her friends and come out at her best.")

And yeah, the "Be mine"/"Be my woman" depending which translation you watch line, but honestly what follows doesn't feel dependent on her answer. And the fact that it's not just "Jonouchi and the Pharaoh" but "I would turn on Dartz for you, if but only if you ask me. I literally do not have a preference about this. We can stay part of the evil cult or we can take it down I'm fine either way." And honestly that's hilarious to me but also, significantly more devoted and very much leaving it up to her as opposed to the pushy "you need me" dub boy.

Perhaps most importantly in terms of "the ship is stronger in the sub" though is Mai at no point in the sub ever tells him no. Dub Mai rejects him explicitly in multiple scenes. Sub Mai tells him to shut up and is an Ice Queen/Broken Bird as she tends to be when she's hurting, but she not only never says no; she implies "Yes if." He says he'd do anything to prove he's serious, even turn on Dartz, and she tells him if he's so eager to fight someone, fight her. And like...?? That's gotta be a test, right? He's clearly stunned when she makes it clear she's serious. We know she'd be pissed as hell if he pulled any punches, but I can't imagine she'd be impressed if it felt like he was fighting for his own ego against her, huh? Whatever her intention, though, it's presented as a condition. An "if you can do this, then maybe." She's considering it.

(And then she watches him beat the American champ and another decent duelist two-on-one in three turns and books it. And where the dub feels like "...well anyway. Later losers." The sub feels more like "... hey so what if we procrastinate on that because I just remembered commitment is terrifying and maybe I should think on this more actually" lmao.)

Bonus shoutout to Mai's earlier duel with Jonouchi and his "This isn't a normal duel! Someone will lose their soul!" and her flat, "So what?" Compared to Rebecca rushing up in this ep with "You're the ones who stole my sweet Yugi's soul!" and Valon's similarly flat, "So what?" I swear this season has so much attention to detail sometimes (and then at the same time.... no one who worked on it having ever seen a map of the US it feels like, but ssshhh...)

But yeah!

Of course personal taste will always be a factor, and if you're someone who likes the dub better, that's fully your right. But either way I hope the breakdown can help provide more understanding of what others like about the sub! And no matter what, always delighted to see more s4 fans and especially Valon fans.

-----

Edit to add: Scrolled/liked a few more posts and noticed the "Valon knows Jonouchi's name from the beginning." It's because he's "the guy Mai is always talking about." And this has killed me for so many years because that happens entirely offscreen but like.

She vents to him. Maybe to all of them but she vents and Valon listens. Which is to say, Mai, who went on a world tour alone and refused to reach out to her only real friends because she so absolutely refused to burden anyone else with her emotional baggage and would rather spiral alone in her emptiness and PTSD nightmares and feelings of futility than ever reach out for help, TALKS to Valon... I feel like bitching and trauma dumping aren't the most advisable ways to develop a bond but in this case.... xD Maybe as a treat.

Scalding Hot Take:

People keep saying that ValonxMai is way better in the sub, but I haven’t really seen that so far? In fact, in Episode 165 it was sub!Valon who was annoying me with the “BE MY WOMAN and I’ll defeat Jounouchi and the Pharaoh and Dartz for you!!!” Whereas in the dub he wanted to work together with Mai as a team.

Duke: "Oh Wow! Boy I do love going to the beach!" 

Made this back in March where I had the urge to draw Valon in a crop top and it turned into a beach scene! He's playing volleyball with Tristan and it truly is a "4 Bisexuals Walk Onto A Beach and Panic" situation. A fun, competitive game of volleyball ensues and everyone is a gay mess. It's great 🥰💖💕✨

Every time I make a joke about ygo ship names someone ends up mentioning yet another ship name so obscure it's not even on any of the masterlists I've learned to use, and each time all I can do is nod solemnly to myself and think "Ah, the well goes even deeper than we thought."

RP request!

Hello, I am very sorry to disturb the flow of the ship tags. I’m looking to rp, but I don’t know where to go for that. I don’t have any YGO rp partner, and I don’t really like tumblr blogs-based rp. So this post will work as a request, to rp directly on Discord. IM me if you are interested! We will talk about it together. Thank you! More infos underneath. I will likely post this same post twice for it to go in all the ship tags. Apologies if you see doubles or more!! ^^’

I can play two characters: Ryou, or Valon (you know, goggles dude from Orichalcos arc?).

For Ryou, I would like to rp either with Yami Bakura, Thief King Bakura, Yuugi Mutou or Malik Ishtar. Not Yami Marik, tho, I can't say this ship is really appealing to me.

For Valon, I'm looking for Jounouchi, or Mai. I absolutely LOVE the polyship with the three of them - if you're down for some conflictshipping, I can play both Valon and Mai, that's a-okay.

I don't have anything set in stone when it comes to themes, scenes, etc. Ancient Egypt AU? Nice. Bakura gets resurrected in his own body and gets a redemption arc post canon? Sweet. Malik travels back from Egypt to Domino, because he misses Yami Baku, and meets Ryou along the way? Good shit. Valon, Jou and Mai all meet for the first time since the last time they saw each other together at a duel tournament? I'm in. Domestic life between Val and Jou???? God yes. Just, hit me up! I promise I don’t bite!

Propaganda: Valon really seemed to care for Mai, at least according to child me that just never saw the spark of Polar shipping but immediately latched on to Conquest shipping after seeing Valon and Mai interact. Plus they have shared trauma; huzzah for trauma bonding! I just think Mai had more chemistry with Valon than with Joey. | I love that this ship is doomed and bad from the start. He’s the rebound and they both know it, and they’re stuck trying to move past that and never quite managing it. And at the same time Valon is totally devoted to Mai in a way that’s both sweet and pointless. Strong tragedy, strong sad ship.

Pairing 2: Familiarshipping(Critias/Kisara)

Propaganda: A bit of a predicatable ship for her but it also just makes sense - the two dragons tied and connected to Kaiba in someway connecting and being together (Honestly surprised they never made a fusion monster for them but I digress) similar to Timaeus they are devoted protectors. And hey after everything she's been through I think she deserves to have a knight by her side don't you. 

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will be banished to the Shadow Realm.

One of my favorite conquestshipping videos I made a couple months back, it was the result of an all-nighter and you can see the drawings dip in quality as the video goes on it's funny
