#idk guys it's my ot3

[paparaxote]

i never uploaded this here so here i am, late for the party

it started as a challengers redraw meme but then i took it seriously

[wiredsignal]

u know what plops these here. NOT the trek fics i went out for nor even. really remotely zeno but the got the conceptual spirit. also i forgot how much i liked these guys. tos trivumvirate.

one. NOT fuck or die literally just. two guys in a relationship stuck in a closet with their crush under. MILD alter state. cursed their dicks.

two. IS fuck or die. lol. BUT TWO OF HIM. putting the. psyche, in horrible psychosexual sex. 'treatment' for the guy hes inlove with but its not him its the two less-than-the-sum parts. and the OTHER guy hes inlove has to be there. just horribly mortifying frictional. WOO.

[lucreziaces]

okay so i've finally figured out a way in which I could see rodrigo suggesting an incestuous polygamous marriage between his three favorite oldest children!! basically, it'd have to be an au where paolo never shows up in rome and juan never has him killed so all is well between juan and lucrezia. so, because juan hasn't done anything to warrant rodrigo's anger that means he's not made to pick a wife and sent off to spain when the french king makes his desire for revenge known. leaving rodrigo in a tough spot because now he knows juan to be incapable of leading the papal armies and they can't very well send him out there to negotiate terms with the french king when his little sister did that for him last time while he retreated. so, he decides there's only one path forward. offer cesare the chance to prove himself worthy of being the gonfaloniere over juan. and cesare would pull the same deception as in the show, chasing the french armies away from rome with fake canon. but instead of just ignoring this win, rodrigo decides to reward cesare. but to do that without causing such a great upset to his younger son, he decides he will have to marry lucrezia to juan. he runs the idea by vannozza first who tells him cesare will still find reason to envy juan. when he asks, "why is that?" she explains cesare's never been good at sharing her with their brother, not even as children. "you were often away on vatican business, so you don't remember but there were countless timesi caught him throwing pebbles at juan while he played with lucrezia. he does not understand the concept of sharing her, rodrigo." reluctantly, rodrigo would then decide that there was only one solution if he was to have peace between his children. marry all three of them to each other. though, this would still prove disastrous for him somehow in my mind as I can't imagine a scenario in which cesare gets to call lucrezia his wife, but has to share her still—with juan of all people—and it goes well? or maybe it would be fine because lucrezia would be too caught up in cesare to pay attention to juan, and therefore, cesare would never feel like he's sharing her even if on a technicality he is? plus, now he'd be busy planning the unity of italy. okay, yeah, idk it might be a reach, but maybe they could happily co-exist this way? I mean, it would more or less be the same situation the siblings are in, anyway, with the exception of cesare being in charge of the papal armies as he feels he should've been all along and ceslu is fucking/getting to be even more openly affectionate with each than they are in the show, erasing the shame element in cesare's mind probably. and juan being left out, still. except perhaps on the wedding night when lucrezia's made to make sure he's included in the consummation of the marriage (hello think I just found my threesome scenario.....will I ever write it, though, that's another story lol) and when cesare is away conquering italy in their father's name (which mind you would would often be weeks or even months....and all that time she would be horny and using juan for relief which would bother cesare, at first, until he realizes she enjoys laying with him more.)

[1980ssunflower]

There is something so indescribably special about my loves...

[spade-deck]

I'm sorry, did you mean Brian Thomas, Tim Wright, and Jay Merrick?

bitches will be like “my ot3 💕💕” and it’s a woman who could murder them, a guy who hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in six years, and another guy who almost got both of the other two murdered. it’s me i’m bitches

[bettsfic]

okay so i saw The Bikeriders today and i knew i wouldn't be normal about this movie and even though my expectations were impossibly high it exceeded them. i was happy for it to just be a cool movie for the sake of being a cool movie, toxic masculinity ultraviolence whatever, and it was but with Jodie Comer's character narrating about what fucking idiots all these macho biker dudes are. it's like if a woman narrated Fight Club while constantly pointing out how stupid Fight Club is

also, most of it was filmed near where i live and it was so exciting seeing places i recognized! it's been all over the news for weeks

things i loved about it:

protective older woman/loose cannon younger man

lowkey romantic stalking

a relationship suspiciously close to a throuple, by which i mean protective older woman goes to war against possessive older man, re: their mutual intense love for loose cannon younger man. and that's not even subtext that's just text

hot sadboy who doesn’t talk much and is so cool he doesn’t know how cool he is

british people doing midwestern accents

NO PLOT, god bless. just stuff happening and a lot of gay tension building

accurate portrayals of the aftermath of the vietnam war

accurate portrayals of mid-century small-town life

accurate portrayals of men being fucking pathetic

things i did not love about it:

for the love of god please wear a helmet

idk man it's just a whole-ass movie about how vietnam changed the very definition of masculinity, and that awkward era between wwii and vietnam when guys were rebellious for the aesthetic, rebel without a cause shit, twinks in leather jackets manhood. the movie even points that out, like they're so against rules but then they make all these rules for their silly little biker gang because they're bored. and then allll these vets come home from a war nobody wanted and they're actually rebelling, full anti-establishment, and there's just no more honor anymore because everybody's broken. which is all to say, somebody please come into my ask and be insane about this movie with me.

anyway i'm seeing it again tomorrow and i have already started an ot3 fic goodbye

[fumifooms]

Mickrin

Fifth entry of my “Dunmeshi rarepairs I will birth with my own hands if I have to” series. This one’s straight up embarrassing, like of course the shadow version of Chilchuck and Marcille would get me.

It suddenly grabbed me out of nowhere. What got me thinking about it is this exchange, first comic third panel, because like… Woah. He knows she has a thing for Kabru? Or something. And he has NO FEAR. Like it’s so forward and has 0 pretenses lmao. And then I thought… And oh no. Oh no.

"I can fix him" x "I can make her worse"

Very uptight and strict and rules-following and too self-aggrandizing tbh x will not hesitate to insult you to your face and sleazy and free spirit…. Kuro is involved in an ot3 of sorts in my head and basically they drag her into Situations of various moral standing aka scams or idk going to a club god forbid. I think she needs to relax and get taken down 1 peg maybe, and I think he needs like…….. Someone to teach him what is unhealthy lmao, also remind him to get work benefits, and if they can like get to feel safe and comfy with one another (and god just the road there would be a beautiful trainwreck to watch) they would be gossip besties worsties.

Kabru needs to be the epitome of morals but like, if it’s Mickbell she can lower the bar… Just for him… <3 She can fix him just a little and she’ll be like "wow! Ok I can settle for this amount of upstanding behavior from you Mickbell you get a gold star"

I never expected it ok I read this extra expecting nothing and god knows why I saw him be like "hey u like Kabru right. You’re his babysitter right. Which poor sap is being Kabru’s maid" with 0 fear and her being so casually pissed back at him and idk, how they’re so comfy being not polite with one another but they’re still coworkers-friends despite it… Crazy for how prickly they both are that they manage that much. They bicker and see each other as annoying at best but weirdly dependable and friends despite it all and……….. I am going to grow them in a lab and observe how I can make it work

MICKBELL IS A REBOUND MORE AT 9??? Maybe Rin and Mickbell have a one night stand and then the aftermath dynamic is this….. She probably regrets it. And then it gets more complex and grows into something odd as she becomes hyperaware of him and they have this little complicity thing going on….

I think cuddling with Kuro (who would be more like a platonic protective & soothing presence in his and Rin’s relationship rather than romo) would destress her actually I think she needs and deserves it. Go to a dog cafe bbygirl it’ll fix you. So what I’m saying is the three of them watch a movie and Rin and Mickbell are sitting on Kuro’s laps and everyone is so comfy. Kuro’s legs die halfway through but he’s self-sacrificing it’s fine….. Actually Mick is on his laps Rin’s just nuzzled into his side. There, fixed. I am so weirdly invested in them… They’re funky to think about. Rin seeing Mickbell and Kuro like "you guys are aware that what you two have is fucked up right" and then joining them in the messy dynamic 🤝  Put them in situations. That will be all.

The sheer amount of sass on their own, let alone together…

Make them get drunk together it’ll be glorious

[inf-01]

I think I love this show

Mecha-Ude: Mechanical Arms

[gemharvest]

Gf for the character thing ? :] or maybe Nene if you received her already

I HAVEN'T RECEIVED HER YET THANK YOU !!!!!!!!! I'll do Nene too, I'll just make it her own post after posting this. :J

favorite thing about them: I love her dumbgirl swag. There's something so special to me that both her and Boyfriend are fuckin'. Dumb As Rocks. ALSO I LOVE THAT SHE'S CANONICALLY AN ARTIST that's such a sweet thing to me. I would pay one morbillion dollars for a GF commission (because she has no idea how they work).

least favorite thing about them: I WANT HER TO DO MOREEEEHGNJFN.. Like she's probably done as much as BF has so that's not a critique of the game, I just wanna see her do more. Because I love women. Oh also I think they should remake every canon piece depicting her and make her canonically fat. I often forget she isn't fat in canon and then I feel sickly when I look at like, the volume 1 cover and she's thin. W-Whe';re h.er tumm-.my go..,m,l,l,...,, <- sorry for crytyping but it fits.

favorite line: That's how you do it! <- I was gonna jokingly just go up down left right but then I remembered she says that in the tutorial. And I quote it to myself all the time so.

brOTP: Y'know what, similar to BF, I think a GF & Darnell friendship would be fuckin' s-tier. I often think abt this post Keyy made tbh. I know that's specifically the Funkycule AU and pup has them in a QPR but I do think abt it often. Also, before I was a romantic PicoGF guy my interpretation of RGB had Pico & GF as just friends, probably closer friends the longer they're in their relationships with BF cuz like, bonding over a shared partner or smthn LMAO so I'll give an honorable mention to Pico & GF friendship.

OTP: WOag. RGB. Wow I've never heard of that before. How many times can I joke about RGB being my OT3 for this game before it gets annoying LMAO anyways. I ALSO REALLY LOVE GFNENE I wish they had more fics. So bad. I'm actually shocked by how bare their tag on AO3 is. They weren't lying, fandom does hate femslash. /hj

nOTP: Is there anyone out there who actually ships her with Senpai. I think that'd be my only answer ALSO YOU KNOW WHAT. I chickened out on saying it with BF but I also consider BF and Senpai a nOTP but like, I DON'T HATE ANYBODY WHO SHIPS IT. OF COURSE. I don't think it's "problematic" to ship Senpai with either of them it's just, like, the most thought I have on Senpai is that I want to kick sand into his eyes. So that feeling doesn't really translate into a desire to see him shipped with anyone. I'm sorry to anybody who ships Senpai with either of them, I respect your grind, it is just sooooo not for me.

random headcanon: This headcanon is like, so deep into my personal GF characterization/ fuckin'. AU. If you wanna call it that atp. BUT ANYWAYS. Fuck this is gonna need quick background hold on. The canon explanation for her looking human iirc is literally just "true love" or whatever tf. But that's not as fun to play with. So instead I like to write her as being ashamed of being a demon, especially because of her parents' actions, so she masks her demon traits. And she reaaaalllly does not like letting them slip through, especially around a specific person (this is foreshadowing for something idek if I'll get to any time soon Sorry). BUT! She is on a limit for how long she can hide her demon traits until doing so starts to hurt her, either through draining her energy or like, it causing physical damage to continue hiding parts of her. And while she trusts Pico & BF, she's still got shit that she's just. Not. Sorting out. So when she feels she's about to reach a limit with it she locks herself away to rest until she's well enough to continue like normal. Girlie No (guy who is writing her to do this) (don't worry I'm going to also write her getting better abt this) I'm gonna eventually have to make a "Karl's Personal FNF Demon World Building" master-post or whatever just cuz this shit is so fun for me to work with Idk.

unpopular opinion: GEH once again idrk if this is an unpopular opinion but I've been using this to just. Complain. About stuff I have seen and disagree with so whatever I'm continuing the trend. Like Pico, I feel like I see. So many. Interpretations of her that just feel Wrong. Like I see people make her The Smart One or like. Dominant Girlboss with little substance beyond that. And it's like. Cool, yay, I love fandom misogyny. FUCK it's probably still rotting in my drafts but forever and always my reaction to this phenomenon with her is "This girl gets her hand stuck in peanut butter jars trying to eat pb with her hands. This is your Smart One?" and I should get it out of my drafts bc I'm real for that. DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME WHEN I SAY THIS BTW. Interpretations that smarten up BF to the same degree do not flag this to me. When making more serious fanworks with these guys, you're gonna have to give them more smarts than canon will. My issue is specifically when I have seen people still write in a degree of stupidity with BF and then just. Don't? Do the same with GF?

song i associate with them: Very basic but I think the sound is cute with her. My secondary answer would be Nelward - "Werewolf" but that's more of a. Specific Instance. That I don't want to elaborate on. grins

favorite picture of them:

Like literally all of them The Fuck you're making me choose? /silly Here's the fruits of me looking through her wiki gallery:

^ If I had to pick a single favorite, it'd be those panels from the Nendoroid comic. She was real for that. Anyways FUCK I love her. Statements improved when you remember I'm Boyfkin LMAOOOOOO..

[olderthannetfic]

Idk if this is a trope, or a genre-thing, or a real life thing, but I've been seeing more and more of my internet acquaintance circle say that a character being friends with an ex is a big turn-off to them in media they consume. It's really weird to me because I don't even know it's apparently such a big deal in media to be mentioned, but also, what's bad about staying friends with an ex to begin with? If we split amicably I'd rather stay in good contact, than completely cut someone off. Especially if that person was a good friend to begin with. I don't think I've seen that much media revolving around this at all tbh, and it's weird how they started mentioning it recently. Ok Christmas is the time of love and friendship, but stills feels kinda random. Is it like a side effect of current dating culture, or is that an old thing? I notice it more with internet acquaintances than my IRL friends as well. I don't think the idea of writing about two people staying friends after a break-up turns into a cheap porn plot of them just fucking behind any new girl/boyfriends. If that happens, then that is a cheap porn plot. I just wanna know what the fuck they're media they're looking at.

--

Well... to be honest, a lot of people aren't friends before they date someone and do treat romantic prospects and friends differently.

I think a lot of media also does this. Not only does your standard bad tv writing use the ex for drama in most cases, but the writing of the actual friendship part is often unconvincing.

I know a lot of people, usually guys, who met some girl on a dating app or asked her out in a bar because she was pretty who pull the "We should stay friends" thing, and it's laughable. They weren't friends, and the way that woman socializes outside of her boyfriend isn't compatible with how he socializes.

It's much less weird if it's somebody from your friend circle whom you knew for a long time first.

For me personally, in the context of fiction, the biggest problem is that a sufficiently interesting friendship will make me ship those characters and not the current ship that the media is pushing. Or, on rare occasions, I won't even ship them, but I just want to hear about their friendship and not the romance.

IRL, there are lots of reasons people just don't work out, but in fiction, I'm constantly going "Okay, but they could get back together though!" Unlike with real people, there's no reason some subtle shade of their personality couldn't be a little different or they couldn't change their mind about lifestyle things in a way that would make the couple great together this time around.

It would probably annoy me less in extremely realistic dramas about daily life, but I dislike those. Most things I actually consume just either make me think "Why are we wasting time on the current ship?" or "OT3! OT3!"

Part of making good fiction is paring away the less essential stuff to let the main points shine. A too-good friendship does steal airtime from a romance in a lot of cases.

--

OTOH, I do know a bunch of neurotic people who just hate it when any ex is within a thousand miles because they've got cheating on the brain.

[seventhdoctor]

I didn't follow your liveblog for Zexal, sooooo I wanna hear ur thoughts about Yuma.

Why I like them/why I don’t

Backflips McGee!!! The kid who could easily win multiple golds at the Olympics if he weren't busy playing card games.

The Olympic high jump record is about eight feet. Please.

Yuma's such a squishable little guy. I don't want to spoil stuff you haven't already been spoiled for but there's segments where he is just. Oh buddy everyone's bullying you for this but that's an ADHD mood and I feel it. Maybe I'd be less neurotic about going out if I applied kattobingu to my life, or maybe I'd just forget my keys more often.

And IDK he's a funny little guy who gets broken by the narrative as per Yugioh tradition but he never stops looking for a solution. Even at the end, it's his belief that someone can be his friend, that everyone can make it out that wins people over and eventually saves the day.

That sounds generic (partially because I'm, again, trying to avoid spoilers you don't already know) but Zexal is actually pretty hardcoded about its zero-sum games most of the time so it still works.

What I like about their appearance

His flame bell bottom pants. IDK it's a funny detail and it sticks out to me among all the elements of his outfit.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?

No difference here.

OTP

Yuma/Astral, platonic. Love it when a guy has another invisible guy in his pocket and they changed each other's lives.

I've said multiple times for previous answers I love partners!!! Of all kinds!!! So Yuma and Astral had me from early on. Very consistently the best way to manipulate one is to threaten (or even imply threats to) the safety of the other and I die every time.

NOTP

None.

OT3

I don't know Zexal ships enough for this. Is Shark/Yuma/Vector a thing? I think that would be funny.

Favourite card they use

Temtemtempo the Drum Djinn! :D Yuma has a lot of fun little guys but I really like the music djinns. They're little guys who occasionally become really big guys...

Favourite moment they were in

Hmmm. There's a lot of these. I'm gonna give it to his ceremonial duel with Astral at the end: there's so much "I knew you were going to do that" and "I know you know I know" going on between him and Astral from all their time together, and there's just so much fondness between them, and it kills me.

And then Yuma does a quintuple backflip to draw a card because this boy is an Olympic gymnast and honestly wasted on dueling.

Least favourite moment

Begging for a heart piece at the start of the WDC. Secondhand embarrassment too high.

[groovebunker]

Francine Joy Fine

how i feel about this character

my sweet, sweet angel. i love fran. she's so sweet and funny and complex and i wish she'd had a tiny bit more depth on the show. just a bit. she's so wonderful to me, so true to herself and i adore her.

all the people i ship romantically with this character

cc babcock. that's her girlfriend, your honour. her soulmate if you will. they are in love.

my non-romantic otp for this character

niles - i love their friendship so much.

my unpopular opinion about this character

ooooh idk. i feel i have less controversial opinions about fran than anyone else on the show. is that she deserves way better than max unpopular?

one thing i wish had happened with this character in canon

season 4, her and cc should have been friends. like they were so fucking close and it would have made seasons 5 & 6 bearable. she also shouldn't have taken max back after The Thing but what can you do.

my het ship

ugh. maybe the male nanny who she thinks is gay. like i think he would have treated her right.

my femslash ship

ccb!!!!

my otp

also ccb. they are destined, i'm sure of it.

my ot3

ooooh, tricky. there aren't enough well developed women on this fucking show. sorry.

my crossover ship

platonically, janice from friends, i wanna see them hang out so fucking badly it is unreasonable.

my kink

other than the fact that that woman is an exhibitionist, i think there's a little part of her which enjoys degradation and she really has to coax that out of cc bc cc finds it very difficult to be mean to her.

a head canon fact

fran can cook, she just lets niles do it.

my gender bend

like who would I cast? oooh. present day, i think andy samberg has the Correct Energy to play a guy fran. franklin! let's call him franklin. i'm really not sure how it would work though. many thoughts to be had.

[cyberdragoninfinity]

Has anyone asked Carly yet 👉👈

NOBODYS ASKED CARLY YET i would love to talk about her ;w;

Why I like them/why I don’t: carly truly fills the absolutely lacking void of failwomen in yugioh and for that alone she's great but ALSO. BEYOND THAT. SHE'S JUST SO FUN AND GOD I WISH THE SHOW DID MORE WITH HER AFTER THE DS ARC!!! but that's been said to hell but everyone that's old news. I love just how optimistic and hopeful she is!! her conversation with z-one during the latter's DL event, where she's just so kind and hopeful of a good future that it moves even this complete bastard bag of bones, is so telling to me. just a good person who also is a little "bitch you live like this?" and that combination rules. love you carly

What I like about their appearance: THE GLASSESSSS i love swirly/opaque type glasses on characters, and it's so especially cute on her. also shoutout to her Dark Signer color palette and freaky eyes which will always forever rule So Fucking Hard

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?: i think i do like carly nagisa more than carmine surname wise, pondering on it now 🤔

OTP: AGAIN, GOTTA BE SCOOPSHIPPING. AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOUVE HIT ROCK BOTTOM, YOU WANT TO FUCK A BLOND GUY i love them to bits. the world if carly and jack got to do more shit together in s2

NOTP: not really as big on misty/carly.... REALLY not big on akiza/carly 8| this is a Grown Ass Woman With A Job Shes Not Dating a 16 Year Old.

OT3: much like with jack i dont think i really have one for her??? those two are simply made for each other u__u

Favourite card they use: Aslla Piscu is probably my favorite Earthbound Immortal design but i have a really particular fondness for her Fortune Fairies. all of them. theyre so comically pathetic i just have to love them SOPPING WET LITTLE CREATURE

Favourite moment they were in: the whole bit with her accompanying jack to the amusement park and trying to interview him still so so funny

Least favourite moment: any time they make her have to spar with mina and the coffeeshop girl over jack -__- just peak #yugiohwomanmoment slash NEG. AUGH.

Something I associate with them: From the Nebraska Plant by the Mountain Goats <-- *deranged* IT JUST REMINDS ME OF HER RELATIONSHIP WITH JACK IDK!!!

[mfshipbracket]

Why is Reylo so hated? Is it just a symptom of being a part of the mess that was the sequel trilogy, or what? IDK it's not my favortie ship in the world but I don't mind it either. So the level of hate it gets has never really made sense to me.

partly that! as i remembered it sw fandom was really scary during peak sequel trilogy times. i was and am on the outskirts of star wars fandom (i rly only care abt rogue one/rebelcaptain LOL not related . but so u know that like i ran away from everythang)

there’s this infamous True Story Everyone Clapped moment also

i think ppl were just… u know . insufferable . and the discomfort that comes w shipping villains with heroes and especially the way they were written was messy . i think ppl got doxxed and others threatened to sue (watched that in real time on twitter lol). reylo fanfic’s become real romance books now like twilight fanfic also but that’s like semi related LOL but reylo’s come up in the same breath as other toxic ships so the correlation is hard to separate 🤷‍���️

i used to be a pretty vitriol filled hater cuz i was sooo ot3 reyfinnpoe ride or die but ehhhh. at this point i like hearing others’ perspectives on it LOL it’s just fandomisms to me…

if anyone here was like SUPER into the sequels and was DEEP in the fandom and ship wars of the Era i’d be so honored if you filled in all the gaps for us !! fandom history and oopsies should be written by first hand accounts and not by some guy (me)

edit: oh thank u guys for the info on the Racism. yeah that’s . yeah

[kuriboo]

Yuga Yuga Yuga

YUGA YUGA YUGA i'm so normal i'm the NORMALEST abotu yuga ohdo. He makes me insane. He makes me explode. Thank GOD he exists and I can talk about him.

Why I like them/why I don’t

Honestly, when I first starting watching Sevens, way back when the first few episodes of the sub were airing before I dropped off for years… I didn't care much for Sevens, and I didn't care much for Yuga! I couldn't get much into the premise! I liked this dystopian setting I was introduced to where everything about duels was being controlled, but it just felt like not enough was being…done with it, to hold my attention. Also, I didn't have any exposure to Rush era fans back then, anyone I was seeing talking about it was talking about not liking it so far… I dipped fast.

Then, I was exposed to people who liked the Rush era, and people who were actively watching Yugiohs for the first time, and I missed watching a Yugioh for the first time, because it had been years. So, I gave Sevens another shot. By this time, the dub was long done, so I watched the dub since I had easier access to it. And my opinions switched fast. My favorite character at first became my least favorite, and Yuga soared to the top. I'm not sure exactly when it happened for me… I just remember, by the time the tournament arc arrived, I was rooting for a Yuga-Nail-Roa teamup, and cheered when I got it.

So, what do I like about Yuga?

What don't I? He's a guy who cares so much about his invention and just wants everyone to have fun with it. Yet, he's continuously a bystander in his own story, other people advancing things where he doesn't have that vision to the point where he gets called out on it multiple times. He constantly forgets that he has supporters and friends at his back, and tries to take on everything himself. He punishes himself for things that aren't his fault. He always knows what's going on…to the point where everyone expects he has the solution to have problem. He was willing to blow up a corporate office because there was a ladybug in it. I am obsessed with this guy. I could probably list things I like about him all day. He's my emotional support blorbo. I need to stare at him like I need air. Speaking of staring at him--

What I like about their appearance

He looks just like Roxel Kingdom Hearts for real and that's what immediately drew me to his appearance. Whoever on the Yugioh team decided to bring the Akuroku fankid to life as a Yugioh protag is my hero. I have a tendency to love characters wearing red jackets (hi jaden) too… And, I really like his shirt in Sevens. The little design on it. Cute. The red button up shirt in Go Rush? Very queer of him. Perfect little bean.

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?

I prefer Ohdo over Oudo for a last name! I just like the h, idk.

OTP

As a Rush era multishipper, this is a hard question for me… if I only had to pick one guy to ship Yuga with? Probably Roa.

My rarepair heart really loves Yuga/Yuuga (Ohdo/Goha) though… Yugasquaredshipping my beloved…

NOTP

Yuga/Yuna makes me sick to my stomach. Literally. Can't stand this.

OT3

Yuga/Roa/Nail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am obssessed with this trio. YNR!!!!!!!!!!

Favourite card they use

Oh, man, this is a tough one… I'm really obssessed with Sevens Road Charm Witch, but technically, Yuga doesn't play that. I really like Sevens Fear Magician, he's really cool. The fusion between Dragias and Sevens Road Magician is also really good, but Sevens Fear Magician is a REALLY cool name. I prefer Sevens Road Witch's design over Magician, though.

Favourite moment they were in

Okay I have two. One for Sevens, one for Go Rush. And these are gonna be extremely predictable.

Sevens is the Yuga Goha arc. Specifically, Yuga VS Yuga. I like both the sub and dub interpretations of how the duel started; I recently sat down and watched them both and compared/contrasted them. In the sub, they just both know each other well enough to know what the other is up to, and Ohdo's threatening to destroy dueling for good if Goha doesn't duel him. In the dub, Ohdo calls Goha to him, and Ohdo threatens to destroy Goha's duel account if Goha doesn't duel him. There's a lot going on in both these interpretations of these two that I love. I'm absolutely feral about this scene. Ohdo dueling to the point of literal collapse.

Go Rush is the second Yuga VS Yuhi duel. Everything leading up to it, bringing Yuga to be the villain trying to stop Yudias and Yuhi… it's INSANE. You can really see that the Yuga VS Yuga duel, the whole Yuga Goha situation in general, really traumatized him. His friends forgot completely about him, and Yuga Ohdo already sees himself as someone who isn't important, who is expendable, willing to give up his own identity for the chance to change this history/future. And that's just the damage we saw in the show, it's really heavily implied if not outright stated that Yuga Goha was wreaking havoc with Monster Reborn before Yuo sealed his memories and turned him into Swirls. Yuga takes complete responsibility for the Yuga Goha situation (in the sub, after the Yuo VS Yuga Goha duel, asking himself "What have I done…?"), is clearly holding himself accountable even years after the fact in his POV, and is willing to do anything to atone. I was waiting since season two of Sevens for a Yuga Ohdo Villain Arc, and I loved this. Yuga putting fixing his own mistakes over the possibility of bringing back an entire extinct alien race. Like, I side with Yudias on this one, even though it came out that Monster Reborn can't help him after all, but I empathize with Yuga heavily. Also, I'm a real sucker for the hero/protag turned villain scenario.

Least favourite moment

Any moment where Yuna's trying to force a crush onto Yuga, especially the baby episode. I hate the baby episode with a passion.

Would I fuck, marry or kill them

Marry. I would never kill my boy. My emotional support blorbo. The light of my life.

Your prose is so unique and I just really want to know if there are any pairings you plan/want to ever write but have a hard time with (outside the naruto fandom as well)

🥺😭💕💕💕 thank you so much, you're always so kind!!

there's a ton of stuff I have ideas for (varying degrees of vague to decently thought-out plots). I've even written out decent chunks of a few, but am not happy with for reasons

ichigo/rukia: watched the first arc of bleach with my wife during initial quarantine and thought these 2 were so aesthetically complementary and CUTE with each other?? not confident writing them just because idk the source well enough (I know the canonical endgame couples though 🥲)

bakugo/uraraka: I can't nail bakugo's attitude, and my uraraka comes out bossy & outspoken. I have an easier time throwing eijirou in the mix and bc he suits them both very well (they're such a lil ot3 for me!!)

matrix/andraia: ummm kind of a deep cut with this one, no clue if any of my readers even know what they're from. a canonical power couple (and my pansexual awakening shhh) who honestly get done justice by the source, how can I compete with the hottest woman I've ever seen calling her absolutely jacked, emotionally stunted bf "lover" and him killing the big bad with HER WEAPON??? *chefs kiss*

ryoko/ayeka: another semi deep cut. I love the idea of them together but can never write enemies/rivals to lovers with any believability. had a dream once where ryoko was carrying ayeka bridal style.....they might be Fanart Only territory for me

ino/sakura: although I'm writing about them in one fic (and have a separate [smutty] one cooking), these 2 are hard for me. idk if you guys have seen that post that's like "came back from the codependent homoerotic friendship wrong" but that was a Real Thing I lived through lmao I didn't even ship inosaku until years after we'd stopped talking 😩

leon/ashley: they are simply Too Sexy for me to even think about attempting. I'll read other fics of them and have to put my phone down to take regular breaks like I'm doing manual labor they make me INSANE. but maybe someday I'll get there (I'm working on one that's just titled "sin" in my docs HELLO)
