#in a way. she can be like kaiba

[likeadog]

ishizu is like, really bad with the blame assignment shit. she believes everything bad forever is her fault for breaking the rules and taking marik outside, and that the only way to save her baby brother is by marching into the jaws of death. she even is fine with committing blasphemy knowing she'll probably be punished for it just to serve that goal. the only person she blames more than herself is yami marik, and she goes to great lengths to try and mentally separate him from marik (and avoid even calling him human) despite yami marik referring to her fairly respectfully as far as he goes, and clearly claiming her as his sister. she wants this dude DEAD, and thinks that getting rid of him is the way to fix things but like. heres the thing. yami marik could barely share cofront with marik prior to rishid v joey, much less exert influence. marik does a lot of heinous shit-- and he enjoys it. he does go mad with power and actively endanger even her life at various points for the sake of his revenge. and marik owns this. the marik + bakura v yami marik duel has an entire few pages dedicated to marik being like "yeah i blame you for killing dad but youre ME and i need to own up to what ive done. i killed our father". the point is clearly that yami marik is, in fact, a part of marik he has to own up to and deal with because hes the embodiment of his guilt and trauma and anger. and in a way, ishizu and yami marik both hid the cause of their fathers death from marik because they knew it would drive him to take his own life, albeit thats more because thats yami mariks very function on his end and not so much a conscious choice like it was from ishizu so ishizus narrative that everything bad forever is the result of yami marik existing just isnt….true. but the other characters buy it because its pretty convenient (and also i think takahashi as a writer was using him as a narrative device and did fail to avoid bad tropes around DID and also wasnt able to dedicate time and pages to a more comprehensive narrative), and its convenient for steadying her belief that things can even be fixed at all. i dont think they even blame their father at any point, which is a little fucked and so like, with the ishtars and thinking about postcanon, its like…okay yami marik cant be entirely destroyed like a ghost. hes still part of marik. maybe more integrated but at some point someone is going to have to sit ishizu down and explain how DID works because shes poured so much stock into hating this psychological concept to the point of her entire plan going into battle city being "kill him even if it kills me" and hes not even a full on guy. and shes going to have to reassess how misplaced that anger is and evaluate what that means for her internal narrative

[jazzy-a]

I've been thinking, and... I kind of love the fact that Mai and Kaiba have a crap load of stuff in common and would probably get along really well in a crack timeline.

Please try to picture this and tell me you're not smiling:

(Both of them standing next to each other)

Kaiba: So... grew up rich?

Mai: (nods) Grew up rich.

Mai, side-eyeing now: Neglectful parents?

Kaiba, surprised: Neglectful parents.

Kaiba, thinking this is gonna be the deal breaker: Friends are stupid?

Mai, full on enthusiasm: OMG! Friends are stupid!

Mai: ... Joey Wheeler?

Both, now facing one another pointing like that Spiderman meme: JOEY F*CKING WHEELER!!

BEGGING ABSOLUTELY BEGGING FOR A YAMI YUGI OR SETO NSFW HEADCANONNS

I have heard your cries and I have come to deliver

• ───────────────── •

Content: Yami Yugi x gn!Reader, Seto Kaiba x gn!Reader (separate)

Warnings: 18+, Minors DO NOT INTERACT!! This has mainly AFAB biology, but no use of she/her, Seto Kaiba degrades you

Notes: All characters are (obviously) 18+ here. I know this was kinda short, but I'm in the middle of finals and got out all I could before I got burnt out lol

• ───────────────── •

❥Yami Yugi

100% a soft dom. Can't tell me otherwise

He would also be a huge tease

Imagine him fingering you while whispering teasing comments in your ear...

"Oh love, the way you squeeze my fingers makes me want to just take you here and now...but I must keep my patience together."

He can be a little harsh in bed if you want him to be

He mainly does it for your pleasure, he barely cares for his own

He loves your thighs. He loves holding them up as he pounds into you from above, and he loves the look on your face as he does so

He'd drag his hands up and down your body, worshipping every single bit of it before having his way with you

Back to him being harsh, he wouldn't degrade you very much, but he would force your head into the pillows as he gives you ruthless backshots

He prefers being on top, but he wouldn't mind you riding him every once in a while

Purposely tries to last long so he can switch you two so you're below him again

He can't help it! He loves the way you look and the way your tits bounce as he gives you what you really want...

• ───────────────── •

❥Seto Kaiba

Would also be a dom, but not soft like Yami Yugi

He cares about his pleasure more than YY does, and he loves taking his frustrations out on you

100% degrading you

As he's giving you relentless backshots, he loves boasting about how much you must LOVE his cock, since you keep coming back for more, and sprinkles a little insult for you at the end

It's just boosting his ego lol

Loves holding your hips as he fucks you from behind, his dick reaching all the right spots

As you're moaning like a whore for him, you can only hope his assistant can't hear from outside of his office

If you're fucking him at the mansion, he's a little more softer. But if you tell him to go harder, he'll go harder

His bed is also where he does missionary, not doggy like his office. He does prefer to see your face sometimes

He doesn't like when you ride him, he thinks it takes away control. But he might be inclined to take up the offer if he's tired from work...

[wisyhana]

I wanna talk about something really beautiful that happened on my birthday before August ends.

The lovely people from patreon, which at this point are close friends than patrons, took the time and effort to gift me a commission where I could draw whatever I wanted, along with the most beautiful letters and drawings.

I cried like a baby, no joke hahaha.

This was such a great gift so of course I made it about Saya and her birthday so here are the drawings I did for her and my birthday. I'm not showing you the letter cos I'll tear up again.

First one is Saya receiving a present from her grandma. She's super emotional because her grandma doesn't know much about postal services or technology, so Saya knows she made a huge effort to send her a present on her own.

The second one is of course Kyrie Eleison celebrating her birthday. Saya invited Kaiba for the party and well Vultur is not really happy about it, but she gets over it quickly. Also to point out that Saya is really happy this time and when she's happy and comfy she tends to be more touchy, so it's very new for her to grab Ivy and Viper that way.

and the last one is already very late and Kaiba stays at Saya's apartment and he finally gives her a present. I WANTED TO GO SUPER CURSI AND SUPER NERDY SO HEAR ME OUT.

Kaiba gives her flight tickets to Vienna for both of them~ he takes her there because HELLO VIENNA THE CITY OF MUSIC, so they can go and nerd about classical musicians. BUT, he has another surprise there~ he takes her to the St Peter's Abbey in Salzburg, because this motherfucker commissioned a whole chorus and orchestra to play the Mass in C Minor from Mozart, which is the musical that has the Grosse Messe aka the Kyrie Eleison piece that Saya loves. And of course he chooses that place because is there where it was first performed. Very cheesy, very nerdy and very Messe perfect for them.

So here they are! I wouldn't be able to draw this if it wasn't for my lovely friends. I'm so thankful and so happy that it would take me a long time to forget this.

Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy my joy with my girl Saya🖤

Hi, is it okay to request, yandere ROR x reader, who's like Kisara from Yu-Gi-Oh?

Reader, who having a appearance of a human maiden, she has the spirit & soul of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, known for its strength that rivals the Gods. Known for Quiet nature but has a quiet strength of a dragon. She would became protective to those who shows her kindness (particularly a certain Priest (Priest Seto), who's in love Reader, and later his descendants (Seto & Mokuba Kaiba), are under her maternal care/protection). She has the ability to transforms into Blue-Eyes White Dragon and other forms (eX. Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon, Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon, etc) & has similar abilities of these forms.

(You can put Reader in a Ragnarok or not)

-You were an odd human, and that’s putting it mildly, as you were nothing like any normal human, mainly due to your abilities of being able to turn into a fierce monster called Blue Eyes White Dragon, capable of powerful attacks that made the earth tremble.

-You had been alive on earth eons ago, when the pyramids were being built, in a massive kingdom known as Egypt, where you were originally a slave until a priest, Seto, realized that you had tremendous energy and found that you were the host for Blue Eyes.

-He freed you from your slave shackles and took you under his wing, teaching you how to harness your power, just as many others around who had similar energy to your own.

-Seto was the first person you loved, as he was so gentle, and he fell for you as well over time.

-Even after you ascended to Valhalla, Seto not coming with you, which broke your heart, you watched over your descendants, even to this day, watching over Mokuba and Seto, who looked so much like the man you loved so long ago.

-Many in Valhalla deemed you a demi-god, as you weren’t completely human, but you weren’t a god either, but many knew of your strength and power, knowing that despite your gentle demeanor, you were not to be trifled with.

-Anubis was one god who knew this lesson very well, when you and Seto passed, side-by-side, and he was taken to another section of the afterlife, and when you begged Anubis to be with your husband as you didn’t want to go to Valhalla, he refused and had guards try to force you away.

-He never made that mistake again when you screamed out in anguish, but your scream morphed into a roar and Anubis and the guards were quickly face to face with a massive, and very pissed off, giant dragon.

-When you finally calmed down, after beating the guards and beating on Anubis for a while, you broke down in tears, returning to your human form, just wanting to be with your husband.

-Anubis had more respect for you so he was more sympathetic as he approached you, offering kind words to you, seeing how much love you had for Seto.

-You accepted your fate, watching over your descendants, keeping them safe where you could, and befriended many of the citizens of Valhalla, gods and humans alike.

-Over the years you did grow close with Anubis, who was protective of you, since you came from Egypt, the place he called home, as he demanded respect for you, despite knowing you could handle things yourself.

-You could tell Anubis had affections for you, but you felt like you were betraying Seto if you got with another man, which did annoy Anubis, seeing you holding onto a lost love for so many years, but he was patient, willing to be your close friend, with the hopes that maybe one day you would open your heart to him.

-This made Anubis territorial over you, not willing to let others get close to you in such a personable way- if they were just friends, Anubis had no issues laying back and watching you smile fondly, but to those that he knew liked you he pulled no punches and wouldn’t hesitate to threaten them, without you being around of course, as he didn’t want to upset you.

-You were going to be Anubis’, one day, and he wasn’t going to let anyone muscle in on his turf!

Breathtaking

Joey knows it's bad manners and probably distasteful. Really, he does.

Despite what others may think, he really is a gentleman. Tries his best to be, at least.

Unfortunately, his mouth has always run quicker than his brain. Usually it just gets him into a bit of trouble he can't talk his way out of, but every now and then it just leaves him embarrassed and humiliated in front of pretty people.

He will not let this be a repeat of that situation though. Not when the girl who's grabbed his heart is the most gorgeous, ethereal woman that he has ever had the privilege to lay eyes upon.

Especially not when she's Seto Kaiba's fuckin' personal assistant.

It's not often Joey comes to KaibaCorp -- okay, he never comes to KaibaCorp -- but Yugi had invited him along for one of his weekly matches with the man himself.

And for the first time in his life, Joey just cannot focus on the game playing out in front of him.

Not that seeing Yugi and Kaiba duel isn't always some sort of spectacle -- and these days, filled with so much innuendos and flirting it's like watching a particularly captivating trashy TV show -- but no matter the dramatics or the plot twists, Joey's attention is firmly held by the pretty woman sitting next to him in the spectator stands.

Kisara, Joey knows her name is after hearing Kaiba bark commands at her. Silky white hair flowing over her shoulders and curling round her pale face. Her eyes are a beautiful sparkling blue, intensely focussed on the laptop sitting on her knees.

"Hey, how's it going?" Joey says to her and fights the urge to wince.

Really? That's the best he can do?

Kisara blinks and turns her head to face him, concentration broken as she looks at Joey like she's only just realised he's there.

"Oh, hi. I'm just working," she tells him with a quick smile and fuck is it breathtaking.

She turns back to her laptop and Joey curses silently as he realises he'd missed the opportunity to say anything more, too captivated by her stupid pretty smile and now if he tries again it's gonna be awkward and god, what if he makes her uncomfortable?

Kaiba and Yugi's duel finishes soon after and Joey practically runs up to Yugi to try and escape his spiralling thoughts. The two of them are halfway to the door when Kaiba grabs his arm and pulls him back.

Joey whirls around, a taunt on the tip of his tongue. What's wrong, rich boy, want me to beat your ass too?

But he stops when he sees Kaiba's sneer.

"Don't hit on my assistant." He warns "Kisara is too good for a mutt like you."

Joey feels himself flush, pulling his arm out of Kaiba's grip.

"Fuck off man, I was just being polite!" He snaps back.

Seto's sneer falters slightly as he narrows his eyes, looking Joey over like he's some fun new puzzle to solve.

"At least wait until she's off the clock. I can't have you distracting her."

Seto stalks off before Joey can get another word in, Kisara at her bosses side in an instant. Despite recieving Kaiba's blessing -- which he didn't want or need, by the way -- Joey is almost certain it's not gonna do him any good anyway. Kisara is way out of his league, as usual, and totally not interested in him. As usual.

Joey suspects he has a type.

But just when he thinks he's done for, Kisara looks over his shoulder to shoot him a wink and a smile.

Oh. Joey thinks, heart beating so fast it could burst from his chest. I'm totally in love.

Introducing: Yuki Mutou!

Me and @ninjam117 collabed on making Yugi's grandmama a reality, and then I doodled sketches of her while on call with both @/ninjam117 and @millenniumringg and finally touched those sketches up Sunday. Pretty fun lady. Highlights about her include:

her doting love for Yugi

her hatred of card games

her interest in the spiritual/supernatural + spiritual/supernatural archeology/anthropology stuff

and her detest for most anyone who isn't Yugi (this includes Yami lmao) (Ryou’s an interesting case)

Some further details under the cut:

Quoted recap from @/ninjam117:

“[grandpa] met grandma on one his many adventures and merhaps a anthropologist/spiritualist

So she’s deep into the ghost supernatural side of archaeology

She hates card games

Like video games

One of the fallouts was grandpas card game stuff

Possibly including the blue eyes

One day she just shows up when grandpa isn’t there

And she adores her grandson

Thinks he’s the cutest little butterbean

His friends not so much

Especially Joey

Who is introduced with Tristan cause they happen to be there when she breaks into the shop

So shes nonplussed at the two

And then later when yugi goes to get the puzzle form his room she pulls the whole wait Yugi stay away from that thing

And at first it’s like oh she’s surprised that the puzzle is complete that makes sense but no it’s cause she can tell it’s haunted

And yami tries to reason with her but she just throws salt at him

Cue awkward attempted exorcism scene

Yugi eventually gets her to calm down”

And then there were talked over plans for her, basically including:

A capsule monster special-esque “could be put in between most any big arc” type season/story/arc happening

She can tell Ryou has like huge spooky energy surrounding him but isn’t sure what it is, and tries to get close to him with her “oh you’re so sweet what a nice young man” shtick

Probably runs into Mokuba and Kaiba at some point, snarks at them

Her name’s Yuki because we backwards compatibility’d her name with Yugi’s so Yugi could partially be named after/like his grandmama

She is utterly uninterested in the apparent fame her grandson’s “king of games” title comes with lmfao

Additionally from @/ninjam117:

“She kind of likes Anzu

In that oh you’re the one my grandson had a crush on and look at how tall and strong you are quite the catch you are sort of way

But the minute Anzu starts making heart eyes at yami onto the shit list she goes

How dare you cheat on my grandson with my grandson”

[gx-gameon]

So I have yugioh duel monsters on as I’m working on a project and I just watched the episode where Yugi’s millennium puzzle is stolen and the warehouse fire occurs.

And you know I love an au….

Say Yugi inhaled too much smoke. He finishes the puzzle and then passes out like in cannon. Joey and Tristian come and save him from the fire, but Yugi doesn’t wake up.

He’s not dead but he is in a coma.

The gang tries everything to wake him up. Even putting the puzzle around his neck to see if the spirit can reach out to him. But he’s so far in his own head that even Yami can’t reach him.

The group is devastated.

Teá is heartbroken over the loss of her friend. She visits him often in the hospital and tries to talk to him. But she doesn’t know what to do.

Tristan’s angry. He’s angry at Bandit Keith and wants him brought to justice. He’s angry at the puzzle spirit for starting this whole mess in the first place. He’s angry at himself for not getting there sooner. He’s trying to cope by getting the authorities to look for Keith.

Joey is a mixture of both. Yugi believed in him. A no good street punk. Because of Yugi’s friendship he’s gone from a directionless kid to one of the world’s best Duel Monsters players. His sister’s surfer was paid for by Yugi (his prize money but same thing) he can’t let Yugi go.

He’s at the hospital every day, talking to Yugi. Telling him about the new games coming out, new duel monsters cards and news, how Dungeon Dice is selling. Anything he thinks Yugi would be interested in. He tell him about their friends and how they are struggling. He always ends by begging his friend to wake up. He’s even started talking to the puzzle begging the spirit to wake Yugi up.

Then the Egyptian exhibit comes to town. Ishizu seeks them out. She knows something horrible has happened to Yugi. She arrives at the hospital and tells them about the rare hunters, how they were the ones controlling Keith. How they are after the Millennium Puzzle.

Tristian’s about ready to throw it at them so that no one else in the group gets hurt. Joey disagrees as Yugi wouldn’t let go of the puzzle in a burning building he’d never want them to give it to a crazy cult. Teá’s with Joey.

Ishizu then reveals that the leader of the Rare hunters, Marik, has the Millenium Rod. It has the power to control and warp minds and might be able to find Yugi’s consciousness and bring it back into control of his body.

That’s all the group needs to hear. They are beating these rare hunters. And wouldn’t you know it, the hunters are coming to them thanks to Kaiba’s tournament.

Now questions that need answered.

The millennium puzzle can’t stay at the hospital, it’s way too easy to steal. Does Yami

1) possess Yugi’s body and help that way.

I don’t think so because he’s cripple with guilt that Yugi is so badly hurt. He can’t find Yugi’s soul any more. He knows Yugi isn’t dead but the damage has locked Yugi away. He’s spent all this time desperately looking for Yugi’s soul.

I don’t think he would take over the body. His own guilt would prevent him from putting Yugi (who’s still in there some where) in any more danger. Yugi’s body is also reviving from the fire still.

2) on of the other members of the group takes up the Puzzle.

My money is on Joey. He’s the other duelist in the group and has the best shot of winning.

I don’t think Yami will take control the same way he does with Yugi. He and Joey aren’t that close. But he eventually can talk to Joey.

This leads to a battle city with Joey as the leading man.

Maybe he wins the first duel on his own.

But the second is against a rare hunter (he misses the alley way encounter because he was already at the hospital for Yugi.) during this duel he’s full of rage. These are the people who hurt Yugi. He’s losing because he’s making basic mistakes in his anger. This is the first time Yami makes contact with Joey.

Together they defeat the rare hunter. Their team work isn’t as good as Yugi and Yami but it will do. They are both completely committed to getting reel fence for Yugi as well as finding a way to wake him. The pharaohs memories are a secondary goal. Nothing matters more than Yugi.

As the tournament goes on they still pick up Slifer. This infuriates Marik because Joey has no connection to Egypt. He’s just some dude who’s wear a Millenium object that doesn’t belong to him. Even if Marik beats Joey he can’t claim the puzzle. He has to beat Yugi.

Now the question is how far does this go. I have two ways this could end.

1) Joey goes all the way to the finals. In his first battle with Ra and Odion he gets struck by lighting. Yami tries to shield him and it works a bit but Joey still has a moment of unconsciousness. Instead of seeing all his friends, he sees Yugi. The real Yugi. Yugi thanks him for all that he’s done. Yugi explains that he almost died in the fire the puzzle took his soul and locked it away. The door didn’t unlock until it was flooded with Ra’s power.

Yugi’s soul will return to his body when the puzzle does. Meaning that for the rest of battle city Yugi and Yami are standing with Joey as the three face Marik together.

Or

2) Marik takes over Yugi’s body for the pier duel.

After Joey gets Slifer he gets a call that Yugi is missing from the hospital. Mario’s puppet mocks him asking why the guard dog wasn’t guarding his friend.

When Joey arrives at the pier he’s faced with a brainwashed Yugi. After all “it’s so easy to control a body that doesn’t have a soul”

Joey and Yami work together to try and snap Yugi out of it. It works and Yugi is back. Allowing Yugi and Joey to head to the battle city finals together.

Jungle May 2

for @grantgfan

Here is some more of May as a Jungle Girl, just like her manga counterpart; Sapphire Birch. Sometimes, she appears like this in @grantgfan’s Godzilla series; Godzilla The Kaiju King. As for how she ended up this way, she was captured and experimented on by scientists of an evil organization called the Backdraft Group. She managed to escape alive but her mental health was severely deteriorated due to the constant experimentations and torture she was subjected to. However, she was under threat of being captured again until Amanda and (Kiryu-Goji) Godzilla found and saved her. After that, Max, Norman and Caroline (grateful that May was found) had a very very hard time with getting the feral May under control. But that changed when Ash showed and gave True Love’s Kiss to May. That did the trick as it brought May’s mind and mental state back to normal she became her normal self again.

Despite her mind and mental state were reverted to normal thanks to True Love’s Kiss from Ash, May sometimes shows up as a jungle girl whenever Seto Kaiba is around, as she’s fully aware of the Backdraft Group organization and she appears as a jungle girl to remain in cover and not attract unwanted attention to avoid being captured. As a jungle girl (like her manga counterpart), May is agile, swift, savage and energetic like a leopard or cheeta. Her fingernails and toenails are shaped like claws and can be used as claws. As well as offense and speed, Jungle May is also excellent in camouflage, using the same camouflage technique that her manga counterpart used… when Sapphire saved Ruby and when he mistook her for a talking Pokémon.

[shinayashipper]

Puzzleship role-reversal AU following Egyptian boy Atem who transfered schools to Japan because of his father's job. As a son of a busy, high political figure, Atem constantly changes schools and have very little friends aside from Mahad and Mana who are the children of his father's close colleagues. (The other kids also got scared of him because his father is a powerful figure / only attempting to befriend him to gain benefits).

Atem grew up with strict lessons and pressure. Always have to be the best in everything. He always tried to maintain an aloof, cool-headed, always reliable leader persona, but in truth he's very shy and anxious. His only comfort was playing games, but it's very lonely to play alone (and he's not so fond of online games) (Mahad and Mana play with him but Mahad is older and doesn't have time to play childish games with him and Mana has other interests)

Atem had changed schools a lot, but it's the first time he moved overseas. He didn't know anyone in Japan and only spoke the language a limited amount (even tho his lessons back in Egypt always drilled the language into his brain but with no one to talk to it's pretty hard).

He instantly became The Talk at Domino High as "The cute/cool foreign transfer student from Egypt" and he didn't really like the attention. He became closed-off and only interact with his classmates a minimal amount, even tho he had always wanted to make more friends. (Now people thought he got a Mean Look, because of the frown 😂). Anzu was the first person who greeted him in good-faith because she purely wanted to get to know him and make him feel accepted in class (but he always brushed her off too). Jou and Honda are still part of The Delinquents(TM) and Jou just hated Atem's guts because he thought Atem is "snobby little Rich Kid". Kaiba is still Kaiba and he just Doesn't Care much.

One day, Atem got some free time and decided to visit a nearby game store: Kame Game. It's kind-of old and there's more board games and puzzle games instead of the ever-popular digital ones. But this is how Atem loves his games. (And there's always a weekly little tournament where kids can play Card Games against each other. Very Fun!).

When he came in, the store was empty and dark, but the store still has the "Open" sign at the door so Atem just kept going. There sits an open wooden box with silver carvings on one of the small table where kids play. Atem was intrigued to get closer and he saw some... wooden blocks. Maybe a Puzzle? Atem loves solving puzzles. Because this is just left alone on the play table, it means he can try it right? So he tried Solving it...

And as if the Puzzle itself was calling and urging him to Solve it... he's assembling it very smoothly. He can finally see that it's forming some kind of pendant, just a few more blocks but Grandpa Sugoroku suddenly appears and surprised him 😂 Gramps saw him with the Puzzle/Pendant and you know I really like the idea of him Knowing More than he lets on, he told Atem that this Puzzle was an artifact from The Gods' Time and whoever solved it will get a Wish come true. He urged Atem to take it home and solve it in peace. It might help you in some way, he told him.

So Atem brought The Puzzle home, thinking how that grampa was kind of Weird, but he's also intrigued with the Puzzle- so he's going to solve it. And a wish coming true doesn't sound bad at all...

Atem had solved it Perfectly, and it was a pendant. But nothing happens. Ha! What wish... Atem thought it's probably just Sugoroku's attempt to make him come back to the store and buy something. Atem was kind of Sad tho. But nevermind that, he got a new pendant now, so he wear it immediately and went to sleep. (Having strange Dreams about Storms and a boy with white robes and wearing The Pendant Facing Them... but he's not going to dwell with it- he must be Tired)

Round 1

Propaganda Under Cut

Misa Amane

she gets treated in-canon the way fandoms treat female characters that Threaten an m/m ship. it's like, "oh why don't you go sit in the corner and be pretty, misa, while the Men have intelligent conversation and pretend they aren't ten seconds from fucking each other, doesn't that sound nice?" it's infuriating. and MAYBE it's better now but i remember her getting treated the same way in fanfiction too, like we all need to do just as badly by our female secondary characters as fucking tsugumi ohba, but with the added insult of making her be alternately oblivious of the relationship between light and L or actively trying to sabotage it—incompetently, of course, because god forbid misa be allowed dignity or moments of cleverness.

she's one of the first characters I think of when I consider old school fandom misogyny. The annoying bitch and clingy crazy gf allegations were AFTER HER ASS. She's also a lot more intelligent than people gave her credit for, but most seem inclined to take the Very Biased word of our unreliable, narcissistic narrator and his homoerotic arch nemesis and claim that just because she's bubbly and into romance that she's also a complete moron. Which is blatantly untrue. Everyone was afraid of Misa girlbossing too hard. Killing people and devoting yourself to the deranged twink of your dreams even though you know he'll never love you back??? Having a hardcore goth aesthetic and being so Hot even literal Death Gods are into you?? God forbid women do ANYTHING!

Not only is she the victim of yaoi culture, she is the victim of early 2000s misogyny by an author that wanted to introduce a girl character because he knew his male rivals were getting too homoerotic. She is a goth bimbo icon who portrays what I think is one of the few callouts for stan culture and what parasocial relationships can do to both the stan and the idol. The fact that she is a toxic fan of Kira and also hot, funny, sociable is tragic in its own way, which I think the author did try to touch on but was too misogynistic too really get through. Of course, she was reduced to villain status by the fandom and anime alike because she got in the way of the supposed romance in their psychological horror anime.

Téa Gardener/Anzu Mazaki

She's friends with Yugi, the main protagonist, who is usually either shipped with his other self (Yami Yugi), or Yugi/Yami will be shipped with the main antagonist (Seto Kaiba). She tends to get demonised a LOT. I have read SO many stories where she is turned into this evil, scheming harpy of a woman who will get in the way of Twu Wuv. 

the fandom does her so dirty bc she's in the way of at least 3 different yaoi ships she's so amazing and underrated tho she's such a great character

Was portrayed as a bitch very often in fandom! Is very not a bitch in canon! Supportive, occasionally snarky, occasional damsel in distress, good card player in her own right (this is important in universe, trust me), and very very loyal! 

[alectoperdita]

jou makes kaiba a character bento of blue eyes. kaiba believes this is a murder attempt via starvation because how can he eat blue eyes

Anon, I'm not sure if this was what you were hoping for, but here we go.

---

"Fubuki, if you don't put on your jacket this minute, I'm punting you out the door like a football!"

A child's screeching echoed through the high-ceiling foyer, followed by two sets of footsteps pounding across the marble.

Seto listened, barely straining to make out the sound of his husband giving chase to their four-year-old son. There was Fubuki's obstinate "no!", the clatter of some piece of furniture, and Katsuya's bitten-off swearing. After a beat, he considered getting up and checking on them.

But then, bright amber eyes, framed by golden blond bangs, peered up from his lap. Asuka, swinging her legs gently, reached out with one chubby hand to offer him a mini-sausage off her plate.

"They'll sort it out," he muttered, both to himself and her.

Her response was to wave the sausage more insistently. The beginning of a pout formed on her stained lips.

Quickly, he bent over and took a small bite. This was their bargain: she finished her breakfast as long as he ate with her. The taste was a bit on the bland side. But she was three, so they didn't want to flavor her food too heavily.

Beaming with pride, his daughter stuffed the rest into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out, reminiscent of a chipmunk.

Seto couldn't help but grin at the picture he made. His hand was halfway into his pocket for his phone before he caught himself. God, he was becoming one of those parents.

Thankfully, his husband's reappearance in the kitchen door restored his dignity. Katsuya's hair was tousled and sticking out in every which way, reminding Seto of their youth. He leaned heavily against the door jamb, using the frame to support himself and the bundle hefted under one arm. Fubuki kicked his feet wildly as they dangled in the air, but it wasn't in a tantrum. He enjoyed being carried like a sack of potatoes for some reason.

"Got 'em," Katsuya grunted, pushing his bangs out of his eyes. It was a dreadfully handsome look on him. "Is Asuka ready to go?"

Seto plucked the napkin off the dining table and wiped her face clean. As soon as he finished, he invited her to wordlessly hop down from his lap. Without further prompting, she lifted both arms so he could help her into her jacket.

"Now she is," he announced and stood.

Asuka laughed and twirled, before running to join Katsuya and Fubuki.

As much as Seto could spend the rest of the day staring at his impossible family, the kids were due at kindergarten and he had an early meeting. While Katsuya tidied the children's appearance, zipping up Fubuki's jacket resoundingly so he couldn't throw it off, Seto brought over the bentos from the kitchen counter.

He arched a questioning eyebrow at his husband as he handed them off. "Don't you think you've overdone it?"

In addition to each child's usual bento box, there was a two-tiered one. Then again, Katsuya always slipped comfortably into the role of house husband when it was the off-season for the pro-circuit.

Warmth spread through Seto's body when their hands brushed. Katsuya's fingers purposefully lingered on his wrists. Nor did he let go after he closed his palms over the back of Seto's hands, drawing him in for a short kiss.

Katsuya smiled. "Nah, the big one's for you."

"You didn't have to."

"Someone says you've been skipping lunch lately. So now you don't have an excuse."

Seto sighed. "Isono."

"I'm not giving up the identity of my mole that easily." Katsuya gave a wink.

Another kiss, a muttered goodbye; and then they were gone. The mansion always felt eerily quiet without them.

*****

Meetings were the bane of his existence. On days like today, when they were packed back-to-back, Seto longed for a megalomaniac or two. At least they had the decency to settle matters, even if it was of life and death, through Duel Monsters.

He collapsed into his office chair for the first time since he arrived hours ago. At the moment, he couldn't bear to check his inbox and see how many messages awaited his attention.

Likely too many.

For now, he wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of his private office.

Eventually, his gaze roamed across his desk's surface: paperwork, pens, photos of his family, a black two-tier bento box.

He straightened.

He'd completely forgotten about the lunch Katsuya made for him until now.

Well, it was lunch time. He didn't have an excuse now as Katsuya said earlier. And he so hated to disappoint his husband. Plus, he liked Katsuya's cooking.

The top level contained an assortment of side dishes: a small salad, stewed beef and vegetables, and a couple of the same hot dog octopuses Katsuya always made for the children's bentos. But the tier below that? Seto gawked at what he uncovered.

Katsuya had been making character bento for Fubuki and Asuka since the start of autumn. The kids loved showing off their colorful arrangements to their classmates. Over time, Seto too had watched his husband get increasingly more creative and elaborate with their lunches.

It appeared he was no exception.

A rather faithful depiction of his ace monster stared back at him. Shaped out of suspiciously blue-tinted rice, his Blue-Eyes roared triumphantly at a background of black rice. It was mostly the head, neck, and upper shoulders with a hint of the wings, but Katsuya had captured its essence, using carefully cut pieces of dried seaweed to fill in the finer details and contour.

Seto wondered how long it took him to make this.

He snapped a photo for posterity. Then he tested his husband.

I think your plan may have backfired.

Katsuya responded instantly.

Why's that?

There's no way I can wreck her majesty.

I love you, even if you are a huge dork.

[ben-talks-art]

I kinda love how the four most powerful girls in Chainsawman are all losers in their own ways (Spoilers)

- Makima's motivation is that she just wants a dog. That's it. She's super duper into this one dog that wants nothing to do with her and will literally move heaven and Earth to obtain it.

- Yoru's motivation is basically Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh! She has this one-sided beef with the same dog from before and just declared it her mortal enemy even though, again, the dog couldn't care less about her.

- Fami's motivation is just food. No ifs, ands, or buts. She just wants to eat her food in peace.

- And now there's this new weirdo who wants to "save people" by killing them because she's too freaking lazy to try literally anything else. She's in fact so lazy she won't even help out with mundane activities that anyone can do because "it's beneath her."

They all have such silly motivations, and they're all so powerful that they won't even stop for a second to consider they might be wrong.

These four are such dorks... and at the same time, they're all so much fun!

Their motivations are stupid but the lengths they're willing to go for them makes them all such interesting characters to watch and follow.

Makima will literally kill hundreds of people, lie, manipulate, use, and destroy, all for the sake of getting this dog she thinks she's entitled to.

Yoru will sacrifice her own kids, pulverize cities, and lie with the most straight face on the planet just to get a 1 - 0 score against an opponent who barely knows she exists.

Fami will summon demons from hell and leave people to die gruesome deaths all so she can fulfill her plans of eating in peace.

And... Death (What's her name? 🤔), it's hard to say because we've seen so little of her, but she gives the vibe of someone who will refuse to listen to anything anyone has to say and just try this one thing she thinks works for her, that being killing, over and over until it does work because she's just that stubborn.

Again, it's not their motivations that makes them great, it's how simple they are and how far they're willing to go to fulfill them.

They actually do feel like interpretations of Greek gods. All this power in their hands while having the personalities of spoiled little kids who never have to face any consequences for their actions so they never had to consider they might be wrong.

They're all such terrible people but such engaging characters.

[true-deru]

Question:

Yu Gi Oh 5Ds main cast as Pokemon trainers. Has this been done yet?

Like what would Yusei's starter be? What would Jack's be. Aki? the twins? Crow? Kiryu?

Hold up not 5Ds but Kaiba's extra butt has to start somewhere too, where would he start? Which pokemon?

Lol I could see Joey/Jonouchi having a Magikarp and being insulted left right and center until it turned into Gyrados...

anywho...opinions?

Thank you for this ask, Fifi!

I know just said "Starter", but I decided to make full teams for the Yugioh 5ds characters!

Now before I show them, I will admit doing Pokemon teams for Yugioh characters is kinda tricky. My thoughts were do I go for pokemon that represent their cards? Do I pick pokemon based off personality? Questions like that were in my head (Someone's probably going to read this and think, "Deru, you didn't need to think that hard about this" too bad, I can't be normal about Pokemon). So I ended up deciding depending on the character, the reasons will probably change. Another thing to note is that I'm usually not a fan of giving characters legendary pokemon, but I'm making can exception here, just given how most of these characters have such legendary cards.

Yusei is up first with Koraidon being the biggest focal point. Both as his Pokemon and as his Duel Runner (Yes, you can ride this Pokemon). I have this whole scenario where Yusei and Koraidon lost hard to Jack's team and Koraidon lost a lot of confidence; while it will still let Yusei ride him, it won't battle, so Yusei has to help build Kotaidon's confidence back. Rotom and Revavroom are both associated with machines: Rotom can possess various machines, while Revavroom is an engine. Luxray is an aesthetic choice, Yusei looks like a one. Mimikyu represents "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" since it's ability allows it to tank one hit before taking damage. Mawile represents Yusei's philosophy that any card (or in this case, any Pokemon) is useful; unfortunately, Mawile looks amazing, it's not a strong Pokemon by any means (it had it's time in the spotlight when Mega Evolution was big, but later generations that did not allow it, Mawile unfortunately suffered).

Now onto Jack "I hate fun" Atlas. Miraidon acts as Koraidon's opposite and the one that Yusei's Koraidon lost to in the scenario I mentioned above. Like Koraidon, Miraidon acts as Jack's strongest pokemon but also his duel runner. The rest are pretty straightforward, I was looking for Pokemon that are powerhouses, which I picked a lot of Pseudo-legendaries (Metagross, Salamance and Kommo-o). Kingdra and Kingambit are no slouches either and they get the bonuses of having "King" in their names.

Crow's was pretty easy since I wanted to focus on Flying-types to represent Blackwings. Moltres doesn't become part of Crow's team until a bit later, so he's mostly seen with his Honchkrow. Corviknight, Talonflame and Bombirdier are also very "Blackwing" themed, so they had to be here. Braviary is known for being a very protective and noble, especially towards their friends. It's the one most protective towards the kids Crow takes care of.

Aki was also pretty easy since I wanted to focus on Grass-types. Ogerpon is a Pokemon which relies a lot on her various masks and represent her emotions. The Wellspring Mask represents Ogerpon's sadness and Aki identifies with her. I had to give Aki one of the Apple dragons and settled on Hydrapple (Fun fact: There's actually seven serpents in that apple). Dragalge and Cacturne are Pokemon from here time as the Black Rose Witch, but she couldn't bring herself to release them.

Luka was kinda tricky because we don't see a lot of her deck, so the focus here was cuter pokemon and some not being fully evolved, showing that she still has room to grow. The biggest focus here is Xerneas, the legendary pokemon known for giving everlasting life.

Lua is in the same boat as Crow as in he didn't get his legendary until way later compared to everyone else. The rest of the team is focused on Steel-types and Electric-types, to show Lua penchant for machine cards, and like Luka, his team is fully evolved to show that he's still a child and has room to grow. And because Lua admires Yusei and Jack so much, he was ecstatic to see find out he shared having a Rotom and a Metang he hopes to evolve into a Metagross.

Now onto my guy, Kiryu! Now his team was under the influence of the Dark Signers, which caused some unfortunate circumstances with his team (Lore dump: Primeape basically evolves into Annihilape because it got so angry, it died, but it was too angry to die and comes back as Annihilape. Hisuian Zoroark is basically the malice and spite of dead Unovan Zoroark given form after being unable to survive strife from humans and other Pokemon who've shunned it. Spiritomb is said to be a 108 souls trapped in a stone to prevent it from causing mischief). Absol has also been shunned, believing it brings disasters (in reality, it senses upcoming disasters and attempts to warn people of it). Even after the influence from the Dark Signers gets lifted, Kiryu's team is still loyal to him.

Now that the 5ds group is done, let's talk about Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler/Katsuya Jonouchi!

Kaiba's is pretty much in the same boat as Jack, being a trainer who uses complete powerhouses, with a bit more emphasis on Dragons. White Kyurem is of course, the stand-in for his beloved Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Honestly, I was tempted to give Kaiba all three different version of Kyurem, because that still makes sense).

Jonouchi's team starts off pretty lackluster, especially since he had a Magikarp and a Growlithe (Unfortunately, the start of Kaiba's dog comments). But Jonouchi never gave up on any of his Pokemon and his Growlithe evolved into a powerful Arcanine and his Magikarp evolved mid-battle into a powerful Gyarados. Jonouchi won a Shiny Charmander from Rex Raptor after he found out he was mistreating it, not knowing it was a Shiny, so cue the shock of seeing this little Charmander evolve into a Charmeleon and into a black Charizard (Like Kaiba's Kyurem, Shiny Charizard is a stand-in for Red-Eyes Black Dragon, along with showing Joey's reliance on luck-based strategies). His Fighting-Types are all strong warriors, ready to fight and protect!

Oooh! This was fun to do! Thank you so much for the ask, Fifi! 💜

The pharaohs Guardian - Chapter 1

This is the first chapter of my Yugioh x f! reader fanfiction! It starts after the events of duelist kingdom and will follow the timeline and story roughly.

The fanfiction will focus mostly on Yami Yugi / Seto Kaiba x reader, but I titled it as a general Yugioh ff because there will be also interactions with other characters :^).

Enjoy!

The Door swung open and revealed a defeated and angry duellist 

“This can't be.. lost against a girl..” he muttered under his breath and walked away, hands in his pockets.

“There goes another one, I wonder if that new Duellist is really that strong”

“Yeah and there may be a chance that she is cute”

Tea sighed “Is that all you can think of Tristan?” 

“Tea is right Tristan, why are you only thinking about that one topic” , Duke added with a small grin. It made the young brunette furious.

“Don't make this look like u didn't think about that as well! You are worse than I am” 

“Says who?!” 

The black haired boy countered and they both were ready to fight each other “Stop it you two idiots!” Joey shouted and held both teenagers away from each other 

“Who cares about her looks! When I am done with her there will be no one that talks about her anymore anyway! Because they will all talk about me, Joey Wheeler and what a great and talented Duellist I am!” His eyes were sparkling at the thought of beating that new Duellist. He would be in the spotlight of the Duel Community and have all the fangirls follow him.

But this thought vanished rather quickly as Tea slapped him back to reality. The smaller boy with the very uncommon Hair just laughed at the sight of his friends. He also kept thinking about that new Duellist that everyone was talking about. It all started a few weeks ago, when a lot of players kept losing against the new girl that suddenly showed up. People said that she was new in Domino City and others said that she has always lived here but was away for quite a long time. Whether it's true or not, she must be a good Duellist.

The group of friends walked through the door of the most popular Community Place for Duel Monsters in Domino City. Everyone comes here to duel, meet friends, new people or to simply watch the games of others. Because of the mysterious new player, the Place was fuller than ever. Everyone wants to play against her to test their skills. Naturally, the place belongs to the famous Kaiba Corporation. The continually growing popularity is good for the numbers. The CEO, Seto Kaiba, has immediately been informed about the newcomer and all the talking about her supposingly strong abilities as a duelist. So he wants to check for himself. Kaiba doesn't like it when somebody else claims themselves as the best. Yet his hectic work schedule won't allow him to follow the idea of a duel right away.

“Hey guys, I think I found her” 

Yugi said and looked directly at the girl, gaining all the attention of his friends who followed his trail of sight. She was dueling against another player, and he was losing like everyone else.  

“No way! I lost?!” he shouted, nearly screamed in anger, his opponent simply smiled

“It looks like you did but hey, you really had some good moves”

“I don't need your stupid pity!” the Player stormed out of the building in anger.

The girl just sighed and got of the Platform

What's wrong with these people..it's just a game. Why are they all so angry?  she thought and decided to sit on a chair that was right next to the Duel Platform.

“Well Tristan its seems like you were right about her being cute”

Duke simply said with a smirk on his face

“Yeah right” Tristan agreed

“Its not all about looks you two” Tea nagged at the two boys who didn't even listen to her because they were discussing about the Girl. She seemed to be a few years older than them. Joey already ran to her to challenge her to a game of duel monsters.

“Hey you!” he spoke with a bright smile, Yugi sighed a bit but had to smile typical Joe

The young Woman looked up to him

“Hm? Do you want to duel?” she asked with a light hint of annoyance in her voice

“That's right and I guarantee you that I will win!” the blonde-haired male was full of confidence, it made her a bit excited.

“We will see about that" she answers and goes up to the platform.

“LETS DUEL” they both said at the same time, starting their game. 

“Why does Wheeler even try to play against her? Even if she is not that good, he will lose anyway because of his lack of skill and of brain.” said the brown-haired CEO to himself as he watches the Duel through the cameras. They show the whole building.

“Hey Seto!” a cheerful voice echoes through the office, it was the younger one of the Kaiba Brothers, Mokuba.

“What are you doing? Are you watching the newcomer duel?” he walks to his brother and looks at the screen.

"Yes, since the talk about her seems to be never ending, I wanted to see her skills myself. If she really has any"

The younger one needs to laugh a bit “She is nowhere near your skills Seto! Since you are simply the best!” hearing those compliments from his younger brother starts to push his Ego even more.

His Loss against Yugi still nags at him, but he labeled it as luck and not as a win of skill. “When will you play against her?” Mokuba asked

“I'm busy with the company at the moment ...that means my win must wait. Now.. let's watch how Wheeler loses his Match” 

It was the first Turn of the female Duellist “Let the Party begin…” she said with a smile and started the round with a strong opener. Two trap cards (Metalmorph & Chasm of Spikes) and a 1400 ATK monster in attack position.

Joey grinned confidently "Let me show you how the great Joey Wheeler does this!" he exclaims before he draws a card and continues his turn. Yugi is quick to notice that they both play similar decks, focused on warrior type monsters. However, she uses her cards in a more strategic way than his best friend does. She knows well when to defend and attack, which gives it a feeling of a game of chess.

After a tricky move from Joey, the young woman takes a deep breath to gather her thoughts. Her best trap cards have already been used. She takes a good look over the field and the cards in her hands

Doesn't look too good..I need to find a way around his Thousand Dragon

She draws her next card, not showing any sign to her opponent. Giving away information about the cards is the worst a duelist can do. Her behavior is making Joey nervous

"Ya done anytime soon?" he asks and tries to get something out of her.

The young woman over to him, a small smirk on her lips

"I activate my Spell card: Doppleganger"

Yugi's Eyes widen "That's one of Pegasus cards! Joey, watch out!" he shouts over to his best friend. How can she have that card? he asks himself, his gaze turning worried. Tea gets a bad feeling about all of this "Joey.." she mumbles quietly. She then looks down to her friend Yugi

"If she has one of his cards she probably is in connection to him.." she says with a worried tone. Yugi takes a deep breath "We don't know that yet but Joey has to be careful. Doppelganger is a real trickster card, it can take on any form of a card that has been sent to the graveyard."

Kaiba growls behind the screen at the sight of the card "Pegasus.." he mumbles annoyed, remembering the events of Duelist Kingdom painfully well.

Joey gulps and looks nervously at the field and then at his opponent.

"And? What do ya want with that? My Thousand Dragon is way too strong!"

The young woman needs to chuckle a bit "It is indeed a strong monster, but my spell card will help me with that" she adds and continues her turn.

She activates the effect of Doppelganger, gets herself a card from the graveyard and destroys Joey's Dragon with it. His field is now empty

"Unfair!" Joey exclaims but doesn't give up so easily. The Duel continued a few more rounds and Joey had some good tricks up his sleeve. But, in the end, the new one in town won. Both players get down from the platform, the young woman goes over to Joey and shakes his hand.

“Thank you for the Duel, I had a lot of fun, and I must say you're not that bad” she comments with a warm smile.

“I can only give that back” he answered with his typical bright smile. His friends walk over to him.

"You did great Joey, it was very close!" Yugi cheers and smiles up at his best friend. Tristan and Tea agree.

The Girl sat down on the chair she was sitting on before and looked over to the group.

“So, you guys know Pegasus?" she asks carefully, not wanting to seem pushy "Oh and Im Y/N by the way, nice to meet you"

Joey grins at her "I'm Joey! And these are my friends Tristan, Tea and Yugi" he says, pointing at one after the other. Y/N nods and looks at Yugi for a second

"Oh wait, I know you! You won the duelist Kingdom Tournament, right? You are that Yugi Muto" she exclaims, surprised. The boy in questions, smiles nervously and scratches the back of his neck

"Y-Yeah, I guess that's me" he answers carefully "It's nice to meet you too, Y/N! The duel was great to watch" he adds quickly and with a hint of nervousness. The young woman smiles "Thanks! Joey is a great opponent"

Joey clears his throat "Ehem! I am the second place of duelist Kingdom, Joey Wheeler! The one and only" Tristan sighs and shakes his head, Tea can only chuckle. Y/N only smiles.

"To get back to your first question" Yugi starts and tells her about their experiences.

Seto closed his Laptop the moment the duel was over

“As I thought, Wheeler lost. But her using one of Pegasus cards can only mean that she has a deeper Connection to him. Else he would never give her such a spell card.” He said to his brother with annoyance in his Voice.

“Yeah it's obvious that you hate Pegasus after what he did but you must admit that she truly is a strong Duellist!” the younger one said

“Well.. she dueled against Wheeler which does not provide any challenge." the CEO answered with a rough and cold Tone. “If you say so” his brother answered as cheerful as always, he is used to the harsh personality of the company Boss.

“And as I said, I must make an impression myself before I can say if she is good or not. I don't care about other people's opinions, especially not from these dweebs.” and with that said, he left the office leaving Mokuba on his own. The younger Kaiba sighs "Typical Seto”
