#chazz princeton and the seven duelists

[aberooski]

So when it comes to my specifically stormshipping or just stormshipping heavy fics I've noticed something.

Sustained by Hate contains a not at all subtle Little Mermaid reference as a major plot thread, I did Once Upon A Duelist, I have Chazzerella in the works...

......add Chazz Princeton and the Seven Duelists to my list of wips......

Yu-gi-oh Master Duel Showdown

Who do you think would win in this dueling tournament?

- The duelist pool has been chosen randomly from a list of 108 Yugioh characters from all the series except Sevens and Go Rush since they don’t use Master Duel so if your fav isn’t here, maybe I’ll do another Yugioh tournament that has them in it.

- I watched Yugioh in the dub up until Vrains where I switched to the sub so for some characters I’m used to their dub name and others I’m used to their dub name. I apologize in advance. Most of them are using their dub name though.

Round 1

Crow Hogan (5D’s) vs Yusho Sakaki (Arc-V)

Axel Brodie (GX) vs Chojiro Tokumatsu (Arc-V)

Rio Kastle (Zexal) vs Lulu Obsidian (Arc-V)

My Favorite YGO Rivals

We just started Sevens, and it’s still unclear who the main rival is at this point, so I thought I’d do a list of my favorite rivals in order. I had been wanting to do this for awhile now, so I thought I would finally get on it. Since a couple series feel like it has more than one rival, I’ll include them in the list. 

NOTE: These are my personal opinions. Please do not leave mean comments of yours are different. Please respect my decisions. 

8. Ryoken Kogami 

While Ryoken/Revolver/Varis is a huge favorite among VRAINS fans, I was in the minority that couldn’t quite get fully behind his character. To me, it didn’t really feel like he had that much character development until the second half of S2. And another reason is he’s so devoted to following his father’s wishes. I understand why, but his father was not a good person. And his Dueling style always confuses me. I have grown to like him more than when he was first introduced, but this is where Ryoken is at on my list. 

7. Reiji Akaba 

The main reason Reiji (Declan in the dub) is so low on the list is because I didn’t watch ARC-V. I did get to know him more through liveblogs, and I enjoy his character. The opposite of Ryoken, Reiji knows what his father is doing is wrong and is determined to stop him. And I love how much trust he has in Yuya over the course of their adventure. Reiji may come off as harsh or distant, but he does have a kind heart, and I respect that. 

6. Jun Manjoume

While Manjoume (Chazz Princeton in the dub) has some great humor moments, he feels underwhelming at times. I really like how he learns to value hard work over the course of the series, and the significance to use lower level monsters. He did have a lot of pressure put on him by his brothers in the first seasons, and starts to fight with how he wants to do things his way. Still, an occasionally comedic rival can take some edge off at times. His manga counterpart was much more serious and less spoiled. I think the GX anime would have been more interesting if they had Manjoume more like that. 

5. Jack Atlas

Once again, a lower ranking because I’ve never watched ARC-V or 5Ds. I think I have Jack here in my rankings because of what I’ve seen in his character. For one, while he’s always serious, it’s easy to laugh at things he does, but in a good way. He’s not entirely open to how he feels about his friends, but he truly cares for them. And you got to love a Duelist who has such a strong connection to his ace monster. 

4. Ryoga Kamishiro

Good old Shark (also known as Reginald Kastle). His life is a mess, but he’s a true friend. His role is like a seesaw, back and forth he goes. One day he’s a friend, the next he’s your enemy. I feel bad for some of the things he has to go through, but even when he tries to pull away, he can’t really do that. And I love his emo but also caring personality. Some of my favorite Duels in Zexal were ones when Shark got some action. 

3. Edo Phoenix 

At Number 3 is our destiny boy, Edo Phoenix (also Aster in the dub, which I think is a cooler name). I love his development from antagonistic rival to a strong ally. His anti-hero role gave GX a cool twist to the story, especially his deck being a dark counterpart to Jaden’s. I think it’s cool how he’s the only rival to use a “boku” pronoun in the original. Also, his dub voice actor played another favorite rival of mine in another franchise. 

2. Seto Kaiba

With being the one who started it all, Kaiba had to be near the top. I have always loved his sarcasm and quick wit. Kaiba has gone through such drastic changes when he first appears in the manga up to his final role in Dark Side of Dimensions. A lot of times he has me rolling my eyes for his stubbornness and lack of cooperation, but there are times when you can really count on him. And of course, no one can beat his level of extraness. The only one who can truly get through Kaiba’s tough exterior is his brother Mokuba, and their relationship does warm my heart. I always enjoy seeing Kaiba being the most dramatic, extra man on the planet. XD

1. Kaito Tenjo

And my #1 rival is Kaito (Kite in dub)! He has so many similarities to Kaiba, but also still his own character. Like Kaiba, Kaito will do anything for his little brother, and has a very strong connection to his Ace monster. He is the only main character from Zexal to appear in ARC-V (there were a couple others, but they were minor characters, and were more cameos). Kaito is also the only rival to never lose to the protagonist in the anime (he did lose in the manga, but he wasn’t really himself at the time). Another big reason he’s at the top is because he is the only rival to have a Kuriboh card, Kuriphoton. 

So that’s my list of rivals. Do you guys have any favorites? Let me know in the comments.

The Seven Labors of Mokuba Kaiba - Easter Egg Explainer Pt. 2/7

I peppered The Seven Labors of Mokuba Kaiba, my recent 15-chapter, 60,450+ word Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfic (written for YGOME and NaNoWriMo) with all kinds of references. Some of them are just for fun, while others can help you get a sneak peek into future chapters or elements of the world.

READ THE FIC HERE

See how many you spotted in Chapters 3-4!

Anzu (now) lives in the Minato ward of Tokyo. This is the same area where Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon takes place. This is important because of an Easter egg reference I make later on.

Anzu’s ex (who played Seto Kaiba during the Broadway run of Millennium) is a guy named Eric, named for Kaiba’s English voice actor, Eric Stuart. The guy he cheated on her with (who played Yuugi) is named Dan, for Dan Green, Yugi’s English VA.This is my “hat tip” to Prideshipping, because I couldn’t otherwise figure out how to add in a “fake dating AU” plot into this (which was one of the four prompts I received).

It’s a headcanon I keep coming back to, but it’s a favorite of mine simply for the drama: I’ve always believed Mokuba would reasonably develop a crush on Anzu. In the Schmoozeverse, it’s not reciprocated, but he’s still a charmer and hasn’t quite gotten over her.

I always knew I wanted Anzu to ask for a dress, but based on the timeline I created, I wasn’t sure what event it would be for. Thankfully the amount of time that passed between Hamilton’s Broadway opening and it receiving Laurence Olivier Awards for its West End production fit, and so Anzu’s dress is for those awards. There actually aren’t too many theatre awards out there, I learned! Or rather, there are lots of awards for which Hamilton broke tons of records (and thus Millennium did too, in the Schmoozeverse), but only a few are big-name, televised events.

Normally original cast members do not join touring casts, and touring casts might actually have “residencies” that last months or even years. For the sake of this story, Anzu leaves Broadway, joins the touring cast to San Francisco and Hollywood but NOT to Seattle, San Diego, or Chicago (which Hamilton had). She had to go to West End before those productions ended their residencies, so I had her feasibly audition someone else to play “her” at those shows.

This dress is the one Anzu is referring to having worn at the Met Gala (art by @mrn0093​). In reality, Zendaya wore it. (Though personally I think this artistic rendition looks a bit better than the real thing!)

Mokuba revealing that Millennium isn’t just a Broadway show (starring Anzu) that he executive produced/invested in, but is actually about Atem, and Anzu helped write, produce, AND choreograph it is a set up for the second story in the Schmoozeverse: the aptly-titled Love and the Art of Schmoozing, the fic directly inspired by a thread @kaibacorpintern​ had about Kaiba Corporation holiday parties. Long story short: Anzu and Yuugi have not spoken in years.

The duelists on Seto’s contact list are as follows:

Phoenix = Edo Phoenix, a.k.a. Aster Phoenix in the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX 

J. Manjoume = Jun Manjoume, a.k.a. Chazz Princeton in the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

 R.O△ = Ryou Marufuji, a.k.a. Zane Truesdale in the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Why  O△? Because O is pronounced as “maru” in Japanese, while the △ is Seto Kaiba’s shorthand for “mountain” or “fuji,” (like Mt. Fuji) which is the second part of this duelist’s name.

X = Uh, literally his name is given as X. In the dub, he’s Howard X. Miller, and they randomly make him a lawyer who wanted to be a patissiere? Nah, he’s just a Pro Duelist who looks kinda scummy. He participates in the Genex Tournament at Duel Academia, which took place shortly before the events of this fanfic, in the GX timeline.

 KKid = Kabukid, a.k.a. Orlando. Another Genex Tournament participant, and one who is a “Cosplay Duelist” who loves Kabuki theatre.

Math? = Mathematica. Same name in the dub, more or less. We see him later in the fic. Another Genex Tournament participant.

Parker = Sommelier Parker, a.k.a. Maitre’D in the dub. Another Genex Tournament participant.

Guerrero = Sangre Guerrero “Blood Warrior” but they renamed him Elroy Prescot in the dub and turned him into an Elvis impersonator. sigh. Another Genex Tournament participant.

KJ = Katsuya Jounouchi, as we end up learning in this chapter.

 Jacques Mode is a corny fake French name that basically translates to “JACK FASHION” and with a franchise that has a character named “Jack Atlas” I thought it was only appropriate. He first appeared in my ongoing Azureshipping fanfic, What Doesn’t Kill You.

SV = Solid Vision; PR = Public Relations

Fashion Weeks held in the fall are for spring/summer fashion, while shows in the spring are for fall/winter fashion. The order goes New York → London → Milan → Paris. They’re generally for women during these times, as the menswear shows are during January and June/July, compared to September/October and February/March. Some designers change this up, though.

The “peacock lady” ends up being a reference to who will appear in chapter 4: Mai Kujaku (Kujaku meaning “peacock” in Japanese).

New York Fashion Week tends to feature more athleisure; Milan is ultra-stylish; London is avant-garde, and Paris is haute-couture. Considering what Anzu asked for, Mokuba is pretty well positioned to find a decent dress for her at Paris Fashion Week.

Imagine this outfit, but in dark purple instead of black, and the woman is Mai. That’s what she’s wearing when she discovers Mokuba backstage. (This is Sae Nijima from the video game Persona 5, by the way.)

The fic is littered with Hamilton references because of how the songs ultimately inspired Love and the Art of Schmoozing, the fic where I actually go in deep with Anzu creating Millennium and the fallout from it years later. Sometimes the reference is blatant, with lines like victory “from the jaws of defeat,” a direct reference to “Stay Alive” from the show.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time confirming the car Mai had in the anime and what she would need it upgraded to by the time of the fic. And then on Japanese vehicle law, used trade-ins, European car imports/exports, right-hand vs. left-hand steering and the countries that use it, and car paint colors. Yeah, I’m a bit extra.

GX Month 2020

SUper late and I’m too lazy to do anything (as always), but this seems like fun to think about. So let’s go!

Day 1 (August 31): “Game on!” (It’s Judai/Jaden Yuki’s birthday today! Let’s celebrate!): 

Jaden is a great protagonist. I love dumb but OP main characters, especially when they got lucky-go attitudes. 

Day 2 (September 1): “Red, Yellow, Blue!” (Ah, the tier system at Duel Academy. Which dorm is your favorite?): 

I’m attached to Slifer Red, lol. They got a cat for mascot, what more do I need? Also, they serve tempura for lunch.

Day 3 (September 2): “Rule the School” (These kids might be saving the world, but they’re still students with homework to do and exams to pass. Celebrate the school life today!):

Don’t know what to put here, but I was a terrible student because I didn’t study or do things in a timely manner. Do better than me, kids. 

Day 4 (September 3): “Sometimes I Can’t Believe We’re Related” (10Join! Today is all about the iconic brother-sister pair, Fubuki Tenjoin/Atticus Rhodes and Asuka Tenjoin/Alexis Rhodes!):

I love this sibling pair! ^^ Alexis is really cool, and Atticus is so far out of the left field. I really thought Atticus was going to be cool like his sister, or edgy like Zane, but nah, this guy is, like, I just want to support my sister and play this ukulele. They make such a contrasting pair, so it adds to the humor.

Day 5 (September 4): “Pass The Salt” (No story is perfect. So what is something you wish you could have seen in the story of GX?)

I can’t think of anything. 

Day 6 (September 5): “Going Down With The Ships!” (You know what I’m talking about. We all have an armada parked in the bay, but there’s that one ship, that one ship, that you would die for. Today is all about OTPs and OT3s!)

I really like Rivalshipping. I don’t really have that many ships for GX. 5D’s and Zexal are more of my jam. 

Day 7 (September 6): “Bring the THUNDER” (Ichi! Juu! Hyaku! Sen! Chazz it up! Today the world does in fact revolve around Jun Manjoume/Chazz Princeton.)

HANDS DOWN, one of my two top choices for favorite rival. (Jack’s the other.) My favorite things about Chazz are his name, his energy, and that fact that he’s a baby brother. He’s so cute! ^^ I just want to make fun of him.

Day 8 (September 7): “The Power of Friendship!” (Favorite dynamic duo, two characters you think would have been friends if only they met, how friendship saves the day, or maybe a friendship fail. It’s up to you!):

Chazz and Pharoah, lol. I need Chazz to hold that cat and pet it. Why didn’t he? :’(

Day 9 (September 8): “Born to be Bad” (Inherently evil, brainwashed, misguided, or misunderstood. GX boots a colorful cast of villainy. Who’s your favorite bad guy?):

I haven’t finished season 4 yet, but Nightshroud. 

Day 10 (September 9): Free Day/Introductions (Tell us about yourself and your GX experience! Your favorites, why you like it, how you got into it. Or leave the day open to do whatever you want!):

I’m known as kappa. I got Hulu, and Hulu has almost all the YGO series excluding VRAINS and SEVENS which is fine because I also have Crunchyroll and the internet, lol; so, I watched all the YGO series simultaneously, skipping back and forth between series. I did not watch any of them in order. GX was number 5 or 6, but it’s the one series I’m putting off. 

Day 11 (September 10): “Cyber Legacy” (No Yu-Gi-Oh! show is complete without a pair of brothers. Today’s stars are Sho Marufuji/Syrus Truesdale and Ryo Marufuji/Zane Truesdale!):

I love these guys! It was great to see them grow and become their own people. ^^ They had, I think, the most realistic relationship.

Day 12 (September 11): “But What If We Had Bikes?” (That’s right! It’s time for the GX crew to rev it up on their very own D-Wheels/Duel Runners!):

I CANNOT DRAW. SORRY LMAO

Day 13 (September 12): “And You Are…?” (Got a favorite OC? Or one you’ve been hiding in the closet? Introduce them to the world today!):

I only have a Rivalshipping OC baby. Her name is Mira Princeton, and she has Jaden’s brown hair and Chazz’s dark eyes (with a bit of a golden glow). Since both her parents can see spirits, it’d make sense that she can too, lol. Her companion is Yata-Garasu, a rare card that her mama won at a tournament. She likes pink and flowers. She is very close to Aster and calls him Uncle Aster. She’s four, and most of her life, she knows her dad as the “Slifer slacker but a really good duelist.” 

I love her. :)

Day 14 (September 13): “The Perfect Formula” (He duels with the power math and science! Today, show the world that you still remember Daichi/Bastion Misawa!)

Bastion is a funny character. “Everything is science. I’m going to disappear for several months. Don’t forget to forget me,” I think. 

Day 15 (September 14): “Insert pun here” (It’s meme day! Recreate your favorites! Make some shitposts! Be the troll you’ve always wanted to be!):

Bastion: SIr, I’m afraid your DNA is backwards.

Jaden: AND?

Day 16 (September 15): “Creation and Destruction” (The Gentle Darkness and the Light of Destruction. The eternal struggle. And also the Darkness that tried to drown the world. Huh. Feels a little unbalanced.):

It’s pretty cool to have darkness and light reverse, and then watch as darkness conflict with itself, lmao. The Light of Destruction would be a chaotic good, and the Gentle Darkness as chaotic neutral. (Don't quote me on that, I don’t do personality quizzes.) 

Day 17 (September 16): “Putting the D in Destiny” (Pro duelist by day and crime fighting vigilante by night. Today is Edo/Aster Phoenix’s day!):

He’s great. I like him. He’s the precursor to Declan Akaba’s D/D/D archetype. Maybe not. Can you believe that he actually said “Shmaden Shmuki on national TV???? LMAO

Day 18 (September 17): “In Another Life” (It’s AU day!):

Currently trying to write a fantasy-ish AU in which Jun marries the Supreme King. Trust me, I have no idea what I’m doing.

Day 19 (September 18): “I Was Here Too!” (GX has a vast array of unique characters, some of which we only saw once. Pick a “one shot” character and show them off!):

I really like Princess Rose. She was pretty, and her spirit monsters care for her. I appreciate that. 

Day 20 (September 19): Free Day 2/Support Fellow Creators (Show some love for your favorite creators, or leave the day free for whatever you please!):

Literally @ everyone whose work(s) and/or post(s) I’ve reblogged. Keep up the good work!

Day 21 ( September 20): “Prehistoric Predators” (The dino duelist with a fossil in his leg. Today is all about Kenzan Tyranno/Tyranno Hassleberry!):

Dino DNA is so funny; I’m sorry, Hassleberry, but I don’t like dinosaurs. At least you were cute as one. 

Day 22 (September 21): “Stop Blowing Holes In My Ship!” (Some ships are popular and some are…not. Today is all about rare pairs and crack ships! Give those underdogs some love!):

Tanya/Bastion is kind of cute. And I guess Chazz/Atticus too. ^^ 

Day 23 (September 22): “And For Today’s Lesson…” (The teachers at Duel Academy have their work cut out for them, but they still take care of their students. Show the DA staff some love today!):

Fonda Fontaine!

Day 24 (September 23): “Legend of the Seven Gems” (Resurrect the greatest light in history today with Johan/Jesse Anderson and the Crystal Beasts!):

Johan is very cute! I’m so glad they gave him a Southern accent in the dub. ^^ It makes him extra soft and lovable. I can’t believe that Johan/JIm is called Cowboyshipping, but I love that name so much.

Day 25 (September 24): “For The Glory of Academia!” (We got to see Asuka/Alexis and Edo/Aster over in Fusion Dimension, but what about the rest of the cast? Show us some Fusion counterparts today! What are these dorks up to and what part do they play in the war?):

I’m bad at rewriting canon. ^^: Sorry. 

Day 26 (September 25): “Dream Team From Overseas” (Austin O’Brien/Axel Brody, Jim “Crocodile” Cook, and Amon/Adrian Gecko. Today is all about them!)

I absolutely love Jim Cook, from him being Australian to having a crocodile as his best friend to getting burned with a mysterious object to cowboy hat. xD 

Day 27 (September 26): “Duel Monster Spirit Day!” (The world of GX is full of spirits. Do something fun to celebrate your favorite!):

Mine would be Scapeghost and Rose Garden Maiden! 

Day 28 (September 27): “Gold Eyes in The Darkness” (Today’s all about the Supreme King! Unleash the Darkness and create your content!):

I like his aesthetic. I’m into Chazz/Supreme King for sure.

Day 29 (September 28): “Don’t Forget Me!” (Have an underappreciated character you wish you’d seen more of? Give them some love today!):

Miss Dorothy! She’s wonderful, she’s friend shaped. 

Day 30 (September 29): Free Day 3 (Share anything. Anything at all. It’s free game.): 

The Chazz/Supreme King fic I’m working on: The Supreme King’s Husband (Prologue)

Day 31 (September 30): “Gotcha!”:

Is this a Pokemon reference? O_o

[thegodofnightmares]

🌻 >:3c

i can say anything sooo

Chazz Princeton, known as Jun Manjome (万丈目まんじょうめ 準じゅん, Manjōme Jun) in the Japanese version, is an arrogant Duelist who serves as one of Jaden Yuki's rivals throughout the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX series. Chazz is considered Jaden's primary rival in the same effect that Seto Kaiba is the primary rival of Yugi Muto. The two have Dueled one another a total of seven times throughout the seasons of the anime. Through his evolution, he goes from being a Duelist who only respected powerful cards to a Duelist who believes that there can be effectiveness in any card, specifically shown in his use of Ojama cards.

He becomes a marked threat after becoming the North Academy representative but after that becomes more and more a comic relief character.

In the manga, Chazz serves much the same purpose as in the anime.

I apparently accidentally deleted this list, so to avoid for it happening, I’m going to post this re-creation. This list features all the legacy characters who got major support in main sets and Duelist Packs since VRAINS era, and which of those are not in Duel Links yet. Original list had a huge disclaimer, so I might re-write it, but for the time being, you will only have the list itself.

Edit: The (Recreated) Disclaimer:

This list covers only VRAINS era onward Main Sets and Duelist Packs, all other sets and promos are ignored, as they are not as important.

For Main Sets and Duelist Packs, only Japanese versions are focused on. TCG versions do not matter.

This list only covers legacy characters who got major support. Characters and decks who got one-off support like Desmanian Devil(Chumley/Hayato) or Animadorned Archosaur(Hassleberry/Kenzan) are not listed, even if they got major support later on, like Chazz/Jun’s Ojama Duo. Same goes for one-off retrains like Dark Honest.

Only supports are listed if they are intended for a character specifically. For example, recent Monarch support isn’t listed for Sawatari, as it is not directly intended for him. Neither has Gladiator Beast support been listed for Battle Beast, even if they utilize slots reserved for animé archetypes.

Retrains not intended for a given character are not listed. So the Metaphys Tyrant Dragon is not listed for Rex Raptor/Dinosaur Ryozaki, neither has been the recent Red-Eyes Zombie Synchro for Joey/Katsuya.

VRAINS era characters are not listed in VRAINS era sets, since they are not legacy characters in their own series.

Both Japanese and localized English names are used for characters and sets, so romanizations and translations will vary. If you don’t like them, blame Konami’s customer service.

This list may or may not be periodically updated. We’ll see.

[aberooski]

I'm finally learning my lesson and that it's okay to write things out of sequence. It's actually very helpful ✋😭

[aberooski]

OUAD 2 THOUGHTS PART 3 LET'S GOOO!!!

19. Atticus starts having dreams about Chazz and Alexis in danger/dying and just needing his help but he can't help them, and it starts to get to him a bit. On top of all of the pressure that's on him already, now he's even more anxious and desperate to keep his loved ones safe for fear of losing them forever.

The Darkness cult is using their dark magic to give him these dreams. They want to prey upon his anxieties and love for them that the cult would perceive as weakness so that they can make him vulnerable to their influence.

This way either the cult leaders or Nightshroud himself can get into Atty's head and lure him to the cult by offering him the power to protect those most precious to him, and also save his kingdom from destruction. Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?

20. Adrian, jealous and angry at Atty because the cult passed him over to be Nightshroud's vessel for him even though Adrian was raised by the cult to be the vessel his whole life, is out to kill Atticus. Because without him, Adrian would become the only candidate again.

Alexis 100% gets to fight him at some point, not sure when but that's so going the fuck down bro akaksk

21. Bastion is the apprentice of the kingdom's foremost wizard, Master Eisenstien 😌 and works in the castle, but he does spend a lot of time in town as well. I said I wanted to bring back Wizard Bastion and I figured it out!

22. When the group learns of the Darkness cult's actual existence, no longer just kingdom folklore, the primary color trio of fairies heads off to investigate and find answers and information and all that such and such, while Chazz, Atticus, and Alexis are instructed to stay behind as it could be unsafe. Only nowhere is safe muahahahahaha

During this the trio comes upon an old, ancient temple that was once used by the cult centuries ago in the mountains bordering the Crystal and Golden Kingdoms, long since fallen into horrible disrepair, like super bad, drawn there by some strong spiritual energy. Here they find a ton of information, and discover that it was Slade and Jagger meddling with dark forces in this very temple that gave them their great and terrible powers and resurrected the old cult leaders. And also basically destroyed the temple in the process

And while they're snooping around..... oh look! A wild Jesse has appeared! He totally saw the Jay, Sy, and Hassleberry come this way and he, having been warned by the spirits of the Crystal Beasts that something was seriously wrong, followed to both warn them and be sure they stayed out of trouble and didn't accidentally cause any.

23. I don't want OUAD2 to feel too disconnected from OUAD in terms of like, well everything, but I'm working on that train of thought.

Like does Atty still have the Sword of Revealing Light? Who knows??

Chazz now has an aversion for needles after his brothers forced him to pick his finger on the spinning wheel

Atty and Chazz sometimes go on dates in the woods because that's where they met 😭

Atticus taught Chazz how to ride a horse like he said he would so now they can go on rides and shit together for realsies 😭😭😭😭😭

24. On that train of thought, they 100% go for a ride in the wintery woods of the Crystal Kingdom and of COURSE there will be made reference to OUAD chapter 5 😏

If they do this after Atty starts having the dreams oooo baby there's drama ahead 😈

But if they do it before the dreams.... bro something could still happen and he could think that was the cause of the dreams asskksssskksskjaajjs

That's all for now but my brain is COOKING!!

Every thought I've had about OUAD 2 so far:

1. OUAD 2 will take place a few months after OUAD and will follow Chazz, Atticus, Alexis, and Jay, Sy, and Hassleberry as they take a trip to visit the Crystal Kingdom where Atticus and Alexis live (otherwise knows as the Northern Kingdom in OUAD as it's located to the north of the Golden Kingdom, the central kingdom of the lands)

2. Keeping with the Once Upon A .... theme for the title, it won't just be Once Upon A Duelist 2. My main thought is Once Upon A Winter OUAW or something along those lines because the story will take place during the wintertime and the Crystal Kingdom is in fact a snow kingdom.

3. Chazz and Atticus are officially a couple

4. I want to include more of the ensemble cast, my thought is that Bastion and Jesse are residents of the Crystal Kingdom and will have some kind of significance within the story

5. I don't like him but I also want a Zane cameo because the fact that he canonically exists in OUAD and because Syrus is a fairy, he has to be one too is hilarious to me and I need to see it.

6. Hassleberry is in trouble with fairy society for actually killing Jagger in OUAD, despite how evil he and Slade were when they were still alive. They also view him as more of an enigma than they already did due to his animalistic side that he was born with and how weak his magical abilities are because despite his weak magical powers, he was able to not only access extremely powerful ancient magicks on his own during the final battle of OUAD, he did it while in his berserked state and not even in control of himself. Just like Jaden thought, everyone underestimated the power of the gold fairy.

7. Jaden is intrigued by how Jesse, a regular human, can see and communicate with the spirits. Jaden can but even as a magical being it's uncommon, and Chazz can but only because Jaden blessed him with the power. So how is it that Jesse can see spirits too? Eventually as he's observing Jesse to try and figure that out, he starts to develop a crush on the kind human boy......

8. Not sure what the greater conflict of the story will be. Maybe some kind of conspiracy or some sort of other issue that is uncovered and runs deep within the Crystal Kingdom. I still have to figure that out and who the main antagonist will be. That will influence a lot of the story since it'll need to be built around that.

9. Loved a comment @chazz-is-a-zelda-fan made about OUAD 2 continuing the trend of killing off disliked characters, wouldn't mind finding a way to sneak and Adrian death in there somewhere 😌 thanks for putting that thought in my head friend 💜 I'm all kinds of down for killing off that bitch somehow lol

10. I had originally had a thought about Adrian wanting revenge for Slade and Jagger's destruction of the Kingdom of the East, but I'm not sure timeline wise if that would work I mean they destroyed it a little over 20 years ago and Adrian isn't much older than they are in canon so he couldn't have actually been there to see it but I suppose it could still work if that event more or less destroyed his family and set him up for a real crap life. Also Slade and Jagger are dead now and nobody still alive had anything to do with it except the trio was involved in the battle to stop them back then, which they did. So it wouldn't make sense still unless I got real creative I guess 🤨 or maybe it does and I'm just underthinking it. But Adrian I think would be more of a minor antagonist rather than the main antagonist of the whole fic.

11. Going back to conspiracy, and I did almost say cult.... potential SoL inclusion??? Or a Darkness cult???? Nightshroud???? Absolutely no thoughts about that just a potential concept but maybe something like that for the main conflict???? I really don't know yet 😭

It'll probably be a while before I get to start actually writing any of this but the thoughts are real y'all.

[aberooski]

Are there any other AUs you've done with Chazz and Atticus besides the Once Upon A Duelist one?

Not any that are currently out in the world persay, but I have several in the works!! 😃

Right now I'm working on Chazzerella, a Cinderella AU, I have Chazz Princeton and the Seven Duelists in my pipeline so there's Snow White as well, and I even have a few ideas for a Barbie as Rapunzel AU 😄😄

I also have plans for a sequel to Once Upon A Duelist which is really exciting, that's kinda the main AU since Sleeping Beauty is my favorite movie of all time but I have so many ideas that are at various stages of being in the works!!

Tysm for the ask my friend!! 😄😄

[aberooski]

STORMSHIPPING BARBIE AS RAPUNZEL?! I’M HOLDING YOU ACCOUNTABLE TO GIVE ME PLOT DETAILS AND EVERYTHING PLEASE I HAVE MY BUCKET OF POPCORN READY AND EVERYTHING

AKSKSKS YOU GOT IT, CHAZZ!

I actually legit almost dm'd you about it the other night cuz I was actually going crazy over the idea but then I fell asleep and forgot akakskks

OKAY SO! I've actually been thinking about this for a while as a possibility because my mind runs wild with this shit as we all know all too well by now aksksk

I was actually thinking about everything I had in my pipeline because once I get finished with this 1 shot I'm doing for a fic exchange I wanna actually sit down and dedicate time to getting through Chazzerella because I meant to do it literally MONTHS ago so I could get to work on OUAD 2, and then we have Chazz Princeton and the Seven Duelists, and then I was like OH F U C K

RAPUNZEL.

MY RAPUNZEL.

BARBIE.

And now here we are akskksksks

BUT THE PLOT BRUH I'M COOKING SOME GUD SHIT IN THIS MINDROWAVE OF MINE LET ME TELL YOU

OBVIOUSLY Chazz is Rapunzel he's literally always the princess in these things who's surprised? It's more fun and it always just works out best that way plot wise. Only I am thinking about foregoing the hair maybe, I mean her hair doesn't actually really matter in Barbie Rapunzel apart from her dream where Stefan finds her and we have the whole "let down your hair" reference, and Gothel cuts it and uses her hair to trick Stefan at the ball but otherwise her hair doesn't matter or is really called attention to. BUT I'm still in the early planning stages so I mean maybe I'll change my mind 🤷‍♀️

But my initial thought is that we begin similar to OUAD, Slade and Jagger would be the villains obviously. Exiled from the kingdom for being just bad people, they resent their parents and when they have Chazz so they'll still have an heir, they kidnap Chazz as a baby and spirit him away deep into the darkest forest of the neighboring kingdom far of their parents' reach out of their hatred and resentment. But in the Barbie fashion, they frame the king of their neighboring kingdom, Atticus and Alexis's father, for the crime with a desire to sow seeds of discord so that both kingdoms will destroy each other. Then they can swoop in and rule all the lands themselves.

I also had an idea to try and differentiate from OUAD, they had already grown resentful and spiteful of their parents and were sowing seeds of discord between the kingdoms, and eventually at some point they like, fake their deaths so they could work behind the scenes and to cover their tracks. So then when their parents have Chazz to reinstate the line of succession and they kidnap him, it's even easier to frame the crime on Atticus and Alexis's father and keep him hidden because who would suspect them? They're dead as far as everyone knows, they can very easily hide and keep him and his whereabouts concealed. And obviously since Gothel is a mage in Barbie, at the very least Slade will have magic powers because I mean come on. He's the main bad guy here.

But regardless of how we get to that point, they raise Chazz and keep him under lock and key in their secluded home hidden and concealed deep in the forest where no one would dare to look, forbidding him from ever leaving the old manor under the guise of keeping him safe from the outside world, not that they haven't still been abusing him all this time themselves also Barbie Rapunzel really is Rapunzel and Cinderella at the same time in a way and that makes so much sense for them 🙄 when really they're just waiting for the two kingdoms to destroy each other. That way they can swoop in and rebuild their own kingdom on the ashes of the old one with no one to stop them, and Chazz will stay their prisoner. But unlike like every version of Gothel they cover their tracks by telling him that their parents died when he was a baby.

Which brings me to a question I have yet to figure out, the equivalent of the hairbrush/paintbrush 🤔

And the Ojama spirits are there to bug him with their love. Obviously.

B U T Chazz has been trying to find a way to escape from his brothers for a while because shocker, they've been abusing him and um, they're terrible. But he knows if he simply tried to run away they would find him and he'd never be able to get away, so he's gotta be careful. And one day he stumbles upon a 🎵 secret tunnel 🎵 in the basement and finds himself on the outskirts of the kingdom. But not without making the Ojamas stay back to watch for his brothers. He wanders into the village and after exploring around, he runs into Alexis. I'm not exactly sure what happens but they run into some sort of trouble and while trying to help Alexis, though he quickly discovers she's more than capable of handling herself just fine, Atticus swoops in having come upon the scene and saves Chazz leaving him all 😳😍😳

Alexis leaves eventually leaving Chazz and Atty alone to talk. But they don't get far enough into the conversation to make introductions before Atticus is drawn away momentarily but not before telling Chazz to wait for him there. Which he intends to, but the chime of evening bells and a sinking feeling in his stomach tells him he needs to get back before his brothers discover he's gone. If he wants to escape for real he'll need to be more careful than this. As much as he hates it, he needs to go back for now. He'll just have to hide the tunnel again and try again another time when his brothers wouldn't suspect a thing.

Chazz hurries back before Atticus can return, creating a mystery for the prince to solve.

Honestly I imagine when he gets back through the tunnel it's like that movie moment where the kid sneaks back in like heh got away with it, then the lights turn on and the parent figure is in the chair in their pjs all mad like "where were you? 🤨" so like when he gets back through the tunnel Slade and Jagger are just waiting for him there in the basement all 😠 I think that would be funny but also yikes..... and they take him back to his room where they start like interrogating him to find out what happened while he was gone.

I also literally just now as I'm writing this out thought another things that could happen and like, how they find out, is that Jagger had gone into town and sees him with Atticus, but maybe doesn't get a good enough look to know exactly who Chazz is with or something so we can keep the mystery of who his mysterious suitor is, and Ojama Yellow shows up to tell Chazz that they found out Jagger went to town and he has to come back before he's found, but at this point Atty has left so Jagger swoops in and forces Chazz back to the manor, dropping him at Slade's feet with the whole "look who I found wandering around the village this afternoon" bullshit and that would be when they march him back to his room and start interrogating him.

So like that's another way that could go? And obviously they wanna know who the fuck he was with, but obviously Chazz doesn't know who Atticus was and they don't exactly believe he's telling the truth because I mean, in their minds, why would he tell them the truth? So in their frustration and to keep Chazz from trying to escape again, then we get the fun part where Gothel turns Rapunzel's room into the tower muahahahaha so Slade does that, intending to leave Chazz there until he tells them who the boy he met was.

And this is where I need to figure out the equivalent of the magic paintbrush cuz this is where that comes into play after the like stardust turns the hairbrush into the paintbrush.

And that's kinda all I have actually for real thought out atm I mean I did only just start actually planning like last night after all aksksk but I literally just watched the movie again yesterday too and like everything's falling into place fairly easily 😌 but I've still got like the whole last like half to plan out and some questions to answer and decisions to make about what I have so far but GAH THIS IS GOOD SHIT !!

ALSO AS WE ALL WELL KNOW, There are dragons in Barbie as Rapunzel. So I was thinking I could find a way to sneak Light and Darkness Dragon in there at some point, maybe towards the end like LDD gets summoned somehow and like rescues Chazz from the tower and gets him to the kingdom in time to thwart Slade and Jagger??? We'll see what I can figure out I guess aksksk

BUT YEAH THAT'S AS FAR AS I'VE GOTTEN ATM WHAT DO YOU THINK MY FRIEND??? CUZ I THINK WE HAVE THE MAKINGS OF A WINNER HERE!!
