I'm so close to my limit on this fucking card game.

Greetings fellow duelists.

Picture this, okay. You're a Branded player. Hateful, I know. You want to play paper, build the deck in real life, test it out with other people. Great. Awesome. Fun for you!

You play some Master Duel, get a feel for the deck. Alright, yeah, feels good, feels powerful. Bit bricky, but who cares? Isn't every deck? (Coping.)

Grab a couple of Albaz Strike Structure Decks. $60 total, wow! Fit together something resembling your build, if a bit on the cheap side, but that's fine. You're just testing it out.

Boom! Wake up babe, new support just dropped. Time to upgrade! A trap like Branded Banishment, a clean $10, alright. Another Ecclesia retrain in Cartesia, a monster and a fusion spell? Sick, sign me up! So, how much we talking? $20? $30?

$60.

Oh. Alright, we'll just skip her for now then. No need to cash out so much for a one-of that only boosts consistency. What else is there?

Right, yeah, the Bystial monsters! A bunch of big asshole dragons who are also handtrap chaos monsters? Damn, pretty strong! Got some nice new continuous spells and traps like Regained and Beast for $5 each, yeah, sure.

The monsters aren't too terrible. Saronir for $5, Druiswurm for $10, Magnamhut for $20. Pricey, sure, but if it changes and evolves the playstyle so much. Oh, and Lubellion! So again, like $30, right? Or is this another $60 Cartesia situation?

$120.

Okay no. If we can't have all these nice pretty new Branded cards for under $300 when I'm only planning to mess around, I'm good, I'll pass.

Luckily, the tins are coming out later this year, so I'm sure the reprints will be a lot cheaper. And prettier, too. Then I can finally upgrade my deck and play like I've practiced in-game! Just one more month, right?

DING DONG!

Oh? Who's that?

IT CHANGED.

Hmm? What did?

THE WHOLE DECK. IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. NO MORE DESPIA. NO MORE BYSTIALS. NO MORE BRANDED SPELLS AND TRAPS.

... But I liked Branded Beast control. I liked Masquerade + Dramaturge pass. I loved bringing back Mirrorjade with Ad Libitum. I loved banishing my opponent's monsters with Magnumhut to +2. What happened? Where're my children? Where are we? Who are you?

WELCOME TO DUEL MONSTERS BITCH, IT'S TIME FOR CHIMERA BRANDED, FORGET ABOUT THE TINS.

E M B R A C E N O S T A L G I A

#yugioh #branded #chimera the flying fucking mythical beast huh #now let me be clear #i actually love this new playstyle #i am a huge fan of the new consistency in the illusion cards #i think the plays and interruptions and things to do with guardian chimera are sick #i am having so much fun with this new variant of the deck #but jesus christ man #konami really said “let's make some fun cool new archetypes in despia and bystial”#and then DROP IT IMMEDIATELY #despia is superceded almost immediately by POTE format #bystials are relegated almost solely to d-link and sidedeck hate #i really loved the cool fun interactions between all of these different cards when paired with their native branded support #but no.#i hate using the word pushed. but have you SEEN mirror swordknight go into big berfomet?#hmm yes today i will quick effect tag out for a +3 handrip pip pip cheerio carry on #and somehow this is just par for the course. the new normal. an average thing for a modern deck to do #and the entire core #the ENTIRE CORE minus the boss monster #is $30 #TOTAL #still gotta buy cartesia tho

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know #im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie #or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them #snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow!#but then shes gone…. for a while……#and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book #that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss #the hunger games #coriolanus snow #tbosas #lucy gray baird #not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration #but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause #like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not.#snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time #he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets #and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets #he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved #but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall #he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

Reverse Robin au but the ages aren't changed. Just adoption order.

#bruce rocks back up in gotham with a baby damian and immediately starts his crusade as batman #or maybe he rocks back up #takes in Duke after the first major villain attack #and then a few months later damian gets dropped off #then so on and so forth #until 12 year old dick grayson performs in Gotham with his parents at Haly's Circus #aka Bruce Wayne just has a lot of essentially toddlers #in my mind it's battinson which makes this even more funny #dc #text post #reverse robins #batkids #batfamily #batfam #batdad #bruce wayne

happy pride month

#naegami #makoto naegi #byakuya togami #danganronpa #trans byakuya #polaris polanski #that post is ff naegami to me to a terrifyingly accurate degree #makoto and his wife who wants him to quit his job #byakuya casually dropping bombshells on a shell-shocked and exhausted man #and then daydreaming about a better life they could have together while makoto's still reeling with the implications #if i reconcile my bizarro upbringing and my convoluted perception of gender roles and current position in this foundation #the only way i can get him to leave on his own volition is to marry him. in a straight way. bc we're both straight. what if i was a girl #makoto's resigning himself to being ff's dog for the forseeable future. meanwhile byakuya is doing the same but also having egg emotions #not featured: kyoko who was sitting on the opposite side of makoto and was in the middle of a conversation with him. that got interrupted #she immediately downs her shot after byakuya says that out loud and texts the other survivors who each owe her $10. toko owes her $20 #tgirl egg byakuya in her 20s in an apocalypse as a middle manager is a very specific headcanon that i enjoy a lot #only thing keeping her going is her bisexuality and the reminder that 'i went off the grid while crossdressing before i can do it again'#my arts

SPEAKING OF SILVER PRETTINESS. THE TSUM GROOVY??? HELLO???? SILVER FANS NEVER LOSE #like i shit u not he doesnt have a SINGLE UGLY GRROVY. NONE.

Eddie during a Q&A where he specially asked his fans to ask him questions about his marriage: Oh, just saw the question who proposed to who and-

Steve, loudly off-camera: I proposed to him and he said no!

Eddie: …first of all, you couldn’t even get gay married at the time. And second, I said no because I-

Steve: He said no because he wanted to propose to me and then DIDN’T

Eddie: I did!

Steve: A year later.

Eddie: I had to plan! I had to prep! I wasn’t going to halfass our gay fake wedding!

Eddie: And, just for your information, internet! He’s complaining and he’s making me look bad but do you know what he did? Do you know what he did the next day? I put together this beautiful ceremony with all our friends and family and you know what he did the very next day?

Eddie: He went to the courthouse and married a woman!

Steve: …Well that was for tax benefits

#Steve: Don’t let my marriage distract from you depriving me of having a fiancé! We could’ve been engaged #Steve: Twice you took that from me #Eddie: You were the one that wanted to go to the courthouse immediate once gay marriage was legalized and do the ceremony later #Steve’s been married twice but had never been engaged #I fully believe that if Steve proposed first Eddie would turn him down so he got to do it #He took a year to do it because he was touring and none of their friends were ever in town at the same time #and he’d never admit it but it was amusing to watch Steve’s standards for a proposal drop as time went on #one time Eddie got on his knee to pick up the toothpaste cap he dropped in the bathroom and Steve actually gasped #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson

thank you so much to the fics that pointed out explicitly that all of Neil's scars that he mentions are on his front, which implies very few of them were received while running and instead imply that he got them while fighting back.

I hate it here.

#my posts #it fits his stupid fucking character so much I hate it #like this man who only sees himself as someone who runs and doesn't stand up for people #only to immediately do exactly that at the drop of a hat WAY before he actively decides to #it makes so much sense that all his major injuries (minus the road rash I suppose) aren't on his back #im unwell #aftg #neil josten
