ygo sr! ocs In Outfits™️ from various time periods since it is A Time Travel Plot, more info abt koeru (and the effect of the void on her) 4kids dub names for Funsies, and...oc ship names in line with how ygo ships are normally named. YES it was necessary to do All the possibilities (well, okay, I didnt account for ALL of the possible polyships, but I did account for the ones that would in theory be the most Popular)

...I wrote out a LONG explanation of all the ship names under the cut that kinda appeals only to me...haha... :')c if any of these ship names are already taken...I couldnt find anything on them in the tumblr tags, so I'm. going to continue to call them this until evidence to the contrary.

mirrorshardshipping (yunori/koeru) the first time yunori sees koeru, its in a broken mirror shard all ~dramatically~ and has to turn to face her. the name doubles as a bit of symbolism: koeru also got a peice of sidereal jewelry but it had awful effects on her, and they worked for the same company, making her and yunori parallels to each other. koeru tries several times to get yunori to join her and yunori pities her but thinks shes going about her goals the wrong way. eventually they're friends, so its got diff dynamics depending on what point in the story you ship them…

aficionadoshipping (future!yawaraka/yunori) yunori and yawaraka are both aficionados about their interests, but future!yawaraka kicks it up to 100, and is also very Enthusiastically trying to sway yunori, calling her more than a labrat like he saw koeru as, but his old friend. yunori is reasonably freaked out. great ship if u like good/evil characters shipped together, hes the bowser to her peach etc.

dressupshipping (majo/yawaraka) yawaraka is kinda lowkey afraid of majo at first, falling for her spookygirl aes, but eventually he comes to respect her skill and dedication to costuming. the name comes from the fact he kinda gets way more into letting majo play dress up with him than yunori does, happily wearing anything she makes. girlboss/softboy type ship 100%

theatricshipping (majo/future!yawaraka) future!yawaraka taunts majo by saying he learned his villainous theatrics from how she always puts on a performance and never takes her mask off, so to speak, saying this knowing its smth shes sensitive about, making her really mad. shes only scary in aesthetic in a halloweeny-way, while hes genuinely trying to scare and or hurt ppl. the potential angst here. sick guitar riff

eerieshipping (majo/koeru) ship name based 100% off their aesthetics, lmao. majo puts herself between koeru and yunori to duel in yunori's stead at first to protect her from koeru, showing no fear, and claiming shes the scary queen. koeru is secretly glad later on majo was never afraid of her, and they eventually are friends :)

selfhelpshipping (future!yawaraka/yawaraka) …its a selfcestship. future!yawaraka does a LOT to help his past self, like going back and founding ChronoCorp and ensuring he gets a job/gets special treatment/gets away with anything unbeknownst to yawaraka. ofc this is all self-serving, but like. its ygo. gotta have those selfcest ships yk. yawaraka is Scared to Become future!yawaraka and future!yawaraka is mad his old self is ungrateful and doesnt appreciate the self love LMAO

-flytrapshipping (koeru/yawaraka) koeru sees yawaraka as an easier target than his future self to kill/get revenge on for him throwing her into the void, likening him to a venus flytrap that draws ppl in with a sweet face. hes terrified of her and desperately wants to make things right with her bc he hates when ppl are mad at him. very funny or angsty dynamic depending

-collateralshipping (koeru/future!yawaraka) future!yawaraka calls koeru collateral damage and they have a hate/hate relationship. Spicy

polyships:

fullsetshipping (yunori/koeru/future!yawaraka) all of the ppl who own the full set of sidereal jewelry! its just yunori holding them apart aggressively while they try and kill each other, the other two would be fighting over yunori…

-trinityshipping (yunori/yawaraka/majo) wholesome time traveling trio, majo dresses the other two up, is their girlboss, yunori is the one who cheers the other two up out of their Funks, yawaraka is their lil special bi guy. very cute. would probably be like, one of the Popular Ships

-seapoppyshipping (yunori/koeru/majo) the scene where these three meet is by the seaside with poppies. the GIRLS polyship, a lot of this ship is the other two trying to comfort koeru and ease her back into the real world

-versperashipping (yunori/yawaraka/majo/koeru) verspera from the latin for evening, bc these four don't really start getting along/working together until the near-end of the series (evening…) also kind of a reference to the Famous Vespa Scene. We All Know the One.

reread the rest thus far of lackadaisy and there's the both v easy & difficult task of gathering a shit ton but only a shit ton of excerpts (like every single page is a highlight i'm not exaggerating)

and every single element is superlative and the way it all only becomes More So....already mentioned the way the like smooth gradient shading made the successful evocation of 3D Shapes more noticeable, along w/the consistent geometries of character design & details in fabric folds; the way Lighting & Coloring only goes on to become more prominent elements only enhances that further. the compositions, backgrounds, pacing, angles....everything is so dynamic & expressive, such as including the expressions which you know i also Love / absorbed

going "hell yes for people to discover this superlative comic" then having to occasionally refresh past site traffic overloaded server errors like "nooo" but actually yes

whilest clapping & cheering for the fun of everyone who's been here a minute. My God the invigorating reward when again i started reading in '07 & the concept of rocky & freckle on a "proper" run had only manifested via fun official bonus art, then a literal decade later as it was actually happening in the comic like screeeeaammm i can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord etc....i've loved following it, again, if i see another new comic page. i am going to be Enriched

i also really was right on the ball myself this time around like okay okay yep i have picked up on Everything, at least to the degree i can lmao. i love the mysteries. i love how Character Focused it is too ofc and there's no characters i'm uniterested in / dislike. you gotta point to one of them, truly, and i have been a [pointing at freckle] enjoyer these fifteen years but fr i am a connoisseur of everyone, i love that so many characters are a weird mysterious chaos element story driver in their own right. i considered mordecai more intently than ever, love his like ultra mystery (and that we leave off on him doing some detectiving even) and truly fun that like, the source of the more Immediate problems he keeps having in every damn interaction isn't the like [wow mordecai with the just diving into the hatchet murdering] factor so much as it's that he's generally like "i am just standing here" and is not nt in any way that matters and people insist on fucking with him on that front. the peak tragedy of him in a bonus comic getting bullied into having to dance with someone to Be Polite like i'm so sorry i wish you could be that ficus too. anyways intrigued with the marigold &/or mordecai mysteries including that it's like, how coincidental is it that he talks about marigold having a thorn in its side & the savoys' nickname for him is peekon = thorn. there is so much to consider, love that for us truly. and i'm rooting for mordecai & nicodeme's dynamic out here, is another conclusion....very enriched by comparing & contrasting that serafine nicodeme mordecai triumvirate with the rocky ivy freckle one, to be sure. im enriched

i'm also enriched by every footnote that's got like historical facts / research notes / [this is inaccurate for xyz prioritization but here's the disclaimer] explanations. i Love information. and everything else like i loooove this comic it's Soooo Fucking putting my hands to my temples and inhaling at length through my teeth
