Crossing Paths With a Terrorist — When Ignorance Wasn't Bliss

I knew a terrorist once. Well, not a convicted one, but a suspect. Suspect, not of terrorism, but of spreading a hoax. Nevertheless, it was a hoax that brought a city of c.10 million people into chaos for a day. It took months for the police to finally conclude that he had no involvement. I could have told them that on the same day. He was too thick to plot anything.  I met him at a French…

✨🧡🌙SEND THIS TO OTHER BLOGGERS YOU THINK ARE WONDERFUL. KEEP THE GAME GOING ✨🧡

<props self against door> <the doors open to the mrt. i lose my balance and also my long-suffering ezlink card>

hey hello i'm off-anon for once! ,, ask game bait + i do genuinely think you're wonderful + still not over how we met. so insane. on the topic of how you're so very cool i am still constantly in awe of your writing,, (<- read ylsgib almost daily for a week after you released it ngl) (<- every time you drop hcs i go !!!) (<- your thoughts are very interesting i enjoy reading them immensely. thank you for sharing them)

anyways! glad we're mutuals <33 (weird coincidences and all)

NOT THE EZLINK CARD [Insert crying emoji here idk Im on desktop with my gp revision package open in the next tab] thank you thank you omg. you do not know the sound i make when i check my phone and youve dropped like a whole entire essay in my notes like i think the one you left on blue is the longest comment ive ever gotten in my life on any piece of writing ever and . also like genuinely youre such a talented artist and you're so sweet????? its such a privilege to be ur mutual D: also funny story. when i was in the absolute trenches of px11 solitary confinement derangement i like plotted/first drafted a novel [i think ive talked abt it on here before?] that was like partially set in an abandoned forum dedicated to an unfinished obscure webseries [insert more crying emojis] and the main character of the novel is this girl who's like absolutely dead sure she's the last fan of this thing ever to exist [insert self insert sirens, insert even more crying emoji] until she gets jumpscared by a guy who also thought he was the last fan of the thing ever and they immediately start beefing with each other over their favourite characters lol. so this is all to say that when you showed up in my notes for the first time i was like Holy shit. This is my YN moment. This is my blorbo from my novel moment. so this is to say that thank you sm for the ask <3

idk i still feel like its a cause for concern that we have 19 year olds on the internet saying shit like "i was exposed to pornography against my will" or "a man twice my age tried to talk to me" like come on you arent even a child and you're more cautious than any 13 year old has any right being.

i mean i *can* just ignore it no problem but these people have to live that way 24/7 and being an adult in the world is clearly causing them distress. how did we fuck up this bad, how did being terminally online go from "preteens doing cyberterrorism" to "college students afraid of a boob" in a single generation?

Saw your old fan art funny of BEN using a drill to get a cork out of a bottle and that his crimes are cyberterrorism and underage drinking and it made me laugh my ass off because I don't know if you're aware but if BEN had access to the inside of Majora's mask and the in game items in there he would have: Vintage Alcoholic milk in the form of Chateau Romani from the towns milk bar (it's rated E for everyone alcohol back then too)

Wait I forgot about that drawing but that’s actually really funny. I think Ben gets hella pissy cuz he’s eternally 14 but WOULD BE in his 30s if he never died and Jeff’s always poking fun at him for it . Ben likes to pretend everything’s a joke and he never takes shit seriously and is deeply unbothered by his death and seeks no revenge or has no desire to live a normal life but he is fuming. Undeniably so. He just wants to turn 21 and go to a bar and get fucked up but alas

People who are supposedly leftist and feminist are falling face first for propaganda and that's why so many are turning heel like this right as the election is starting. People are still holding onto platforms like Twitter for dear life even when they know it's owned by Musk who is a Putin ally and they know how toxic that site is already. Dismantling the left and turning us against our own interests so we don't fight against the actual fascists anymore is a very effective strategy to ensure we get bogged down. The actual smart propagandists don't care about convincing the right because they are already secured. The most critical weapon is to dilute the left at the most important moment so we don't act. People need to start realising this. There has got to be thousands of sleeper agent accounts on Twitter right now posing as leftists so they can discourage legit people from voting. This is just the reality but people will swear up and down they can't possibly be falling for propaganda because they're "one of the moral ones". If people knew more about Musk and his ties to Putin and how Russia already invests in cyberterrorism like this for political gain then maybe things could be different.

I can't believe leftists, of all people, would risk Trump in office because they're apparently just now realizing that politicians aren't good people. Y'all, I live in a southern state and I'm telling you right fucking now that Trump is getting a lot of votes. Us lefties need to vote our asses off, I swear to christ.

Yusaku for the character ask meme?

I watched Vrains as it aired, and I hooked onto Yusaku very quickly. It did not take long for me at all to look at Yusaku and see myself in him. Quickly my favorite character in Vrains, and remains so to this day. Before I was brainrotting about Yuga Ohdo, I was brainrotting about Yusaku Fujiki. I can still brainrot about Yusaku Fujiki like muscle memory if I put my mind to it; it's not that I'm brainrotting over him any less, I'm just very hyperfixated on the rush era rn.

Why I like them/why I don’t

What don't i like about Yusaku?

I love that he's a very...different yugioh hero. Sort of like how Yusei is, but with less racism and more cyberterrorism. Someone who the powers that be see as a threat, but the common guy comes to see as good. Someone who isn't doing this for fame, status, an image. He does what he does for himself and the people he cares about; he goes after Hanoi for revenge, goes after Lightning for Kusanagi (at least, initially, he does jump on the humans and AI can coexist train very quickly though), goes after Ai for, well, Ai. He's selfish, he's allowed to be, the narrative doesn't villainize him for it.

He also comes preloaded with trauma that we learn about very quickly, learn more about how it's even worse as time goes on, and then we get to watch him go through more trauma. We get to watch him give up because he feels he has nothing left and doesn't want to fight anymore. I love a guy in agony.

What I like about their appearance

His IRL appearance is everything to me. Look at his fucking hair. He's so Yugioh and I love it. Blue is my favorite color and he has so much blue going on. The pink is such a nice contrast and helped me appreciate pink and stop hating pink. He's got beautiful green eyes. His outfits are his school uniform, the uniform for Cafe Nagi, and a black hoodie (and pants, I don't remember what the pants for that looked like).

The outfit in Vrains? I really like it when the lines glow different colors based on what kind of monster he's summoning from his Extra Deck. That's a neat touch. Obviously I still like his eyes, same eyes. The rest of it? It's not a bad design, but doesn't appeal to me personally. I prefer IRL Yusaku.

OTP

Yusaku/Takeru. I am firestormshipping's strongest soldier (or at least, I used to be, back when it qualified as a rarepair...) Holds these two boys in my hands. It's about living through the same trauma but learning that not everything that came of it is bad and learning to heal together. Also the contrast between fire, something that creates light, and darkness, something that snuffs it out.

NOTP Datastormshipping unless it's done a specific way. Tala reminded me that when it's done a specific way, I do actually like it quite a bit, though.

OT3

Disastershipping (Yusaku/Takeru/Ryoken) leads to some really funny interactions.

Favourite card they use

Oh, he has so many good ones....

Firewall Dragon (sweet prince banned shortly after his debut), Linkuriboh, Cyberse Magician, and Update Jammer are all up there, though. If I had to pick one, I think Cyberse Magician is an unsung hero who deserves more praise. I cheered when Yusaku ritual summoned. I love ritual summons.

Linkuriboh did get this screenshot though lol

ANYWAY, if you haven't watched yugioh vrains yet, you're missing out.
