After rewatching S1E10....my whole view on Prideshipping/Rivalshipping has just been re-enforced like....

Yugi sees a fake...with KAIBA'S FACE & KAIBA'S DECK. He gets angry for him and actually stresses the fuck out that he's really dead.

But listen it isn't only Yugi....it's Kaiba too.

Kaiba LITERALLY BLOCKS A BULLET, JUMPS OUT A WINDOW, just to get to his secret computer room to FIND YUGI. Kaiba knows his deck so well that he knew he'd use Dark Magacian and searches for it.

Kaiba sees that Yugi has already beaten one of his Blue Eye's and PRAISES HIM FOR IT!

Then if that shit wasn't enough....Yugi is about to get freaking blasted by the second Blue Eye's and Kaiba fucking forces a virus onto it so Yugi wouldn't lose life points. This is big cause....Blue Eye's is KAIBA'S CARD. To destroy his own precious card ON PURPOSE just to protect Yugi is like fucking amazing to me.

THENNNNNNNN

When Yugi is about to get blased with the final Blue Eye's, Kaiba sees he can't to anything to protect him and SCREAMS HIS NAME!

Yugi doesn't just hear it...he FEELS IT. He knows he's really alive.

And Kaiba FEELS the heart of the cards by doing so. HE LITERALLY SAYS THIS.

And because Yugi can FEEL that Kaiba is alive he wins the battle and mind crushes the imposter cause he's so pissed. And if that wasn't enough.....

Yugi is so fucking heated that he forces his mind into Pegasus's and basically tells him that because he fucked with Kaiba, he's going to FUCK HIM UP.

Shit is wild man.

Kinda funny how the fact that I don't have a lot of favorites boiled down to the fact that I was crushed by Atem's story and vowed to not get attached to other characters.

In other words, this little fictional character broke my heart so hard that I can't move on. That's how much he made an impact to my fandom life even 2 decades later.

I know how that in the Milliuim world arc people are upset on how Theif king Bakaura story ended with him being merged with Zorc and not addressing the issue of the massacre of his village. Well we all know that Kazuki Takahashi (RIP) had to cut the arc short due to a massive health scare as well as a loss of readers ( due to the focus not being on the card game). The Memory world arc was cut short  due to fears of the manga not being able to finish. That being said I have to come to thought process of what the story could have been and what had  actually happened with Atem all those years ago by looking at what was not said.

Atem's father we know ordered the millennium items creation and was horroried when he learned how they were made.  Asking the gods to only punish him and not Atem. He died and Atem became pharaoh. When Atem ruled the items were used to exorcise monsters that had taken over people's souls as a way  of keeping his subjects safe and to keep peace.He could have also had done other duties of his station such as perpareing his tomb etc. (maybe having friendships with Teana  and Joe , (Anzu and Joey's past  lives according to the game Forbidden memories). When Bakaura attacked the palace and the events that followed Atem than learned the horrible truth and decided to take action. He and  maybe a small army had to fight Zorc and with loses mounting; came to the conclusion that the items  with all there evil and how they were made, the monsters that spawned from them; were to dangerous for the world and decided to end the threat by  any means. He smashed the puzzle and sealed his soul inside losing his name and memory  and body.  But before he did he named Seth as his successor and order his name to be stripped off the records.  Either Seth , Atem or both made a plan to make guardians of the items  knowing that Zorc could return and for a way for Atem to finally enter the afterlife.

Who knows maybe someday we get an anime about Atem's life  based on memory world that shows how it actually happened and ends with Atem sealing himself in the puzzle. One can dream…

Getting  hit with my Yugioh phase again and can’t stop thinking of this 

we have the 3 Egyptian  god cards

In Yugioh r we get the evil god cards

What about the Egyptian goddess cards!

Where are they?! What would they be!!!!???

A revolutionshipping idea I just had that would take place after DOSD either 6 months or a year. The whole idea is that Kaiba did go to the afterlife and meet Atem but is stuck there he is not dead but alive just stuck in a Linbo state. Of course Mokaba wants him back, Atem decently wants him to back and live his life and not leave his brother alone. Here is where Anzu comes in she than sacrifices herself to take Kaiba's place in the afterlife! Yes it would mean she would join Atem permeanty in the afterlife so Kaiba could return (so will see him GX etc) even tho it is somewhat bittersweet since she would have to see goodbye to Yugi, Joey, Mai etc  but she would get to join Atem.

There is still some stuff to work out but I thought I'd share.

🍓💛 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLEROSE! 💛🍓

This year to celebrate, Bellerose dressed up as his favorite anime character, Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh! IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DUEL! 🃏🎲

[sennenpharaoh]

See and this right here only adds to his guilt.

Should have listened to Aibou, but NOOOOOOOOO you decided to cast him out the second you played that card

[crossworldnexus]

Atem whenever he sees someone trying to stand up to Kaiba, and even coming close to matching his sass.

"Why bother? He's clearly not going to change."

[crimsonandgoldthieves]

"Word of advice for anyone flirting thinking you won't catch feelings later...you're wrong and you should start running from yourself right now--"

Nightfire

And here we have Muse Yami/Atem!

His theme is supposed to be fire, but he kind of also attained some feline features along the way... Not that I dislike it, I stan cat-boy pharaohs.

His abilities can easily be described as pyromancy. As long as there's a flame, he can control it, mould it into whatever shape he likes and use it for flashy attacks. Allegedly, he has been a muse for a really long time, but it seems that he doesn't fully understand why people become muses and where their enemies come from. Either that, or he just doesn't remember it.

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Atem's muse design was inspired by @businesstycoon27 's Shugo Chara Atem which I have been obsessed with since day one.

And fun fact! I thought it would be funny if he was shorter than Yugi, so I made his civil design shorter than him 😆

IM SO FUCKING HEATEDDDD

Let me cook okay?

So, I finally watched DSOD for the first time in Japanese.

WTF.

They changed sooooo much when they dubbed it like I want to scream at a fucking wall. Do I think the dubbed version is good? Yes. Do I think the story is good? Absolutely.

HOWEVER

The original Japanese version keeps all the emotion and drama. It really dives deep into the Prana (Plana) storyline (Which was honestly hella confusing in the dubbed version) and Kaiba's will and determination to see Atem again actually makes FUCKING SENSE instead of him just being a sore loser and wanted to battle him again.

He created the new duel disk TO TRANSCEND DIMENSIONS. Something that I feel gets sorely overlooked in the dubbed version.

But it isn't just Kaiba...it's Yugi too.

In the dubbed Yugi talks about missing him and this and that...but the original it hardly talks about him because he's trying his best to FORGET HIM! Jonouchi literally calls him out on it when he's looking at his deck on the bridge before saving Aigami. To me in the original, that is just Yugi's way of coping with the loss. In the dubbed it made him seem weak? In a way I guess. But let us not forget.

YUGI IS THE KING OF GAMES...NOT ATEM.

I have more thoughts but like, I'll just get more heated. Please, I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way. Why did I deprive myself of the original for so long?!

Don't get me wrong. I love the dubbed version. It will always have my heart because it is what I grew up with and I love the script. I just wish they would have kept at least SOME of the drama and passion that the Japanese original has always carried.

If you made it this far....thanks for letting me cook. <3

Atem: *STARES*

"Are you volunteering to be tormented this evening, Pharaoh?"

[sweetcobaltblue]

"Laugh at you, don't worry we will--" Kaiba 2024. september back on not knowing when to shut the hell up-

[divinityunleashed]

Atem is just silently watching as Roy, Mana and the other Atem are recounting the Orichalchos incidents and Atem's rageful and wrathful moments.

"...I need a hug."

🔞 for Atem from Dark Magician Girl

Send 🔞 for my muse to tell yours a sexual thought that they’ve had about them

"I usually don't have any of these thoughts for my own monsters but, I would like to feel your tits and ass on me."

[puzzledmemories]

(To Atem, off of the meme)

What’cha Thinkin Bout?

Send “What’cha Thinkin Bout?” And my muse will tell you something that’s been on their mind lately… ((always accepting!))

"For a long time, inhabiting the puzzle and during my time sharing Yugi's body, I did not need to sleep. In the afterlife, of course, I didn't need it either. I was cast from the afterlife and given my own body as a punishment for saving Yugi against Aigami, and I suppose needing sleep is one of those things the gods view as a punishment."

"In all honesty, though, needing sleep isn't something I mind. Getting tired is still a weird feeling, just as much as hunger is. After a lifetime's worth of trials and nonstop danger, however, it's nice to be able to just rest."

[sennenpharaoh]

He squeezed Atem's hand back gently. He knew Tristan was being a bit harsh but he was doing it out of how much he cared. Though he did jump when it was directed at himself. "Yes, I will, promise." He replied. Once at their destination he shook his head.

"I think we got it but Tristan? Thanks for getting us." He offered a small smile. "We do need to catch up, under better circumstances." Turning, he put his arm around Atem again.

"Come on, let's get you to bed."

"We do, Yug. But right now.... Just... take care of yourself. Both of ya. You know I'm a phone call away." Tristan got back in his car and gave a slight wave as he drove away, leaving Yugi and Atem by themselves.

Atem, still a bit down from the scolding from Tristan, gave a nod and leaned against Yugi as they headed to his apartment. Once opened, he slowly hobbled (using both the crutch and Yugi for support) to his bed and sat down.

"It... definitely feels good to have a soft bed again." Atem forced a smile, shifting himself to a laying position on the bed. "Thanks again, Aibou, and..." He wanted to apologize again, realizing how his actions, while yes in self defense, did make everyone worry. But then he remembered Tristan's words and bit his tongue for now. He was safe at home, finally. Holding onto it would do nothing, even if he did feel awful about what he did.

"Never mind. Just... thank you."
