#flareshipping

[setokaibasblimp]

explaining to my friend my puzzleshipping x rivalshipping (yugi-centric flareshipping?) vision and she hits me with this

[vranias]

this is the only version that makes sense to me no i will not be accepting constructive criticism at this time

[hedeghog-landfill]

any ship i like falls into one of these four categories:

1. sweet devotion and love and fluff

2. toxic devotion and love and angst

3. homoerotically biting each other's noses off while making out

4. i want them soooooo fucking bad

[plutoschiild]

yugi, on the phone: kaiba... please, hurry up, we need you!!

seto, on the other side: what is going on?

atem, with yugi: just come here!

seto leaves all of his work behind and gets on his car as soon as possible, though he finds it strange when he stops by a supermarket ?

seto: yugi! what do you want?

yugi just silently points to a box of cereals... in the last shelf

atem: it's too high for us..

Post-DSOD should start like this

Continuing the series of ship drawings from Yu-Gi-Oh!

This drawing is set before the events of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions.

Yugi and the frankly bizarre bitches he pulled by being good at cards

[princessofgames]

Welcome to Domino City

[red-rose-corner]

YGO: Soul Eater AU idea

Mutou Yuugi is a Demon Halberd who ends up heading to DWMA and signing up for the EAT Class. He ends up being compatible with two male meisters, both stubborn as mules.

Kaiba Seto is a Scythe Meister while Atem Fouad is a Spear Meister. What to do about this dilemma? Make an unofficial weapon-meister team.

It's happened before, after all. Not sure if there should be a fourth member as the idea was for a FlareShipping (Kaiba/Yugi/Atem) outcome.

[part-timewonders]

a list of Kaiba fic recs, in honor of his birthday

I thought I'd have a fic ready for the 25th, but alas, it was not to be. So instead, I pulled together a fic rec list of some of my favorites I've read in the last few months, sorted by ship. I'm sure there's plenty more that I haven't been able to find the links to.

Happy reading! This got way too long so I put the list under the cut.

Annoying! The Millennium Eye never gave you a moment to yourself. It was always noise, all the time. Always an untuned orchestra. Every mind playing its own neurotic catastrophic arrhythmic melodies. Here someone sang the sad, sad tune of their ailing old granny; over there someone’s heart played a joyful little ditty about the mess hall’s chocolate cookies–to drown out the angry, insistent trumpet of their tyrannical officer’s parting comments. During the good times it was chaos, of a petty, terribly pedestrian kind; like standing on a street corner on a Friday night in Las Vegas, in the old days. During the bad times, Pegasus wanted to knock their heads together, just for a moment of silence.  Just his luck: the second he uncorked the Californian pinot noir, a bottle from the summer before that blazing, apocalyptic October, something dark and terrible come to his door. Like a stray dog, but worse: a man, desperate and terrified, with a tender, wincing soul.  He sighed, set the bottle down on his credenza, and opened the door to his stateroom. There was Seto, frozen mid-pace in front of his door, frowning in suspicious surprise. He’d wanted several more moments to make up his mind about what he was going to say, and how.  “Hello, Kaiba-boy,” Pegasus said. “Come in. Sit.”

A/N: many, many, many things happen. not all of them good. actually pretty bad.

have fun!! kudos and kind comments are always appreciated <3

dance of the vampire 🎃 happy Halloween

[shinayashipper]

DSOD should've ended with Kaiba bringing Atem back to offer to Yugi as a court gift. And then Yugi says yes and Rivalship gets married. Atem is now their cat. Happy end
