Kira's Sim Yu-Niverse: Kaibas and Ishtars

Previous: Nerd Herd | Next: Duelists

Happy Sim Saturday, cornflakes! :D This time I've actually scheduled the post for the right time, XD.

Seto's aspiration is Hardcore Gamer (by Ilkavelle), and his traits are Genius, Geek, Perfectionist, Competitive and Arrogant (both by Kuttoe).

Mokuba's aspiration is Leader of the Pack, and his traits are Insider, Genius, Loyal and Good.

Roland's aspiration is Super Parent, and his traits are Calm (by Kuttoe), Proper, Serious (by Chingyu), Loyal and Family-Oriented.

Marik's aspiration is Living Life on a Whim (from Lifetime Aspirations), and his traits are Genius, Adventurous, Loves Outdoors and Noncommittal.

Ishizu's aspiration is Successful Lineage, and her traits are Good, Calm, Genius, Family-Oriented and Bookworm (just a HC).

Rishid's aspiration is Big Happy Family, and his traits are Stoic, Loyal, Family-Oriented and... that's it, ^^;. Maybe now that his life doesn't have to revolve around Marik anymore (and I have Growing Together), he'll pick up some more!

All these cornflakes except Marik and Ishizu are so tall I had to shrink them to take their headshots, XD (I firmly believe that Mokuba ends up taller than Seto).

Credit to @alyss-erulisse for the Ishtars' earrings and scars!

Next up: some Duelist Kingdom cornflakes!

“You're my bodyguard. It's not your job to take me to therapy and cook me dinner. It's your job to protect me.”

Roland chose his next words carefully.

“If I am escorting you to doctor appointments and guaranteeing good meals for you, then am I not protecting your health? Is that not a vital part of you, sir?”

Even half a year ago, Kaiba would have argued with him, would have picked apart his statement word by word with brutal precision to prove him wrong—just because he could.

But now?

Seto shrugged and murmured, “I suppose.”

Roland’s feelings on his response were mixed. It was good that he was accepting his help, but his lack of interest was still unsettling.

Poor Isono

[kisarastrife]

I read the newest chapter of paper roses and I loved it! Well done! What I adored most was that Isonso/Roland was included in the museum part cause he's Kaiba's confidant so it made perfect sense.

Yasssss!!!!

Thanks soooooo much for this message my dear!

That was what I was aiming for. See, I reckon Roland is Seto's father's figure. He's been the one truly steadfast and immovable person in his life for so long. A moral compass, if you will.

In my own headcanon, I believe that Roland would try to tell Seto when he thinks his employer is being unreasonable or doing something dangerous. Roland cares about this kid he saw Gozaburo abuse for so long. In Paper Roses I've alluded to it numerous times, but I don't know if my own entire backstory will ever be explained plainly in-fic, so here it is for anyone who's interested.

Seto underwent physical abuse from his stepfather and it was an amalgamation of mansion's staff who tried mitigate it. Kiku and Izumi (the one with the green jade dragon hair-slide), the two longest-serving of the maids, would quickly get little-Mokuba away from Gozaburo when he was in a foul mood or when he was taking it out on Mokuba. And they would distract the child and help keep him safe. Kiku would distract little-Mokuba and Izumi would try her best to calm Gozaburo; she had been close friends with his wife before their divorce.

It was Roland who tried to help Seto. He and Rin saw the abuse in plain view. Roland taught Seto how to defend himself and he once intervened between Gozaburo and young-Seto, which resulted in Gozaburo removing him from the mansion and posting him permanently to the KaibaCorp building. During one fit of rage, Gozaburo struck Seto, which resulted in him falling down the stairs and broke his collarbone. This is the scare that Kisara asks him about. Rin wants to call an ambulance, but Gozaburo refuses, which results in a stand-off of sorts. The fiery woman threatens to call the police if the child isn't brought for medical attention. Gozaburo gives in all of it quietened of course, but Rin is fired. Seto uses the skills Roland taught him to gain the upper hand in an altercation and sends Gozaburo sprawling on the ground; Roland is the one who ignited a love of Judo in Seto. (In the Kaiba Grand Prix arc, the screen of Zigfried's laptop shows that Seto was trialed by soccer scouts and was a world Judo champion).

When Gozaburo decides to jump out the window (the option I choose to believe for Paper Roses), Roland is the first to get to Seto and protects the teenager. He's with him throughout Death-T and never once holds a grudge against him. If you look at the ages of his children in Paper Roses, he and his wife have children only when Gozaburo has died. He could only devote himself to his own family when he knew Seto was safe.

Roland was there throughout all of the arcs, never balking even once. Fuguta too, but just not as visible as Roland.

So it made sense for Roland to be there for this oh so important moment for Seto. It's a huge moment for Kisara too, but it's more important that she's there on her own two feet and deciding to venture into the truth. Whereas Seto is the opposite; he's learning how to not be there alone, to allow someone else into the truth he's known and hidden for too long.

This moment is equally important for Roland who has stood by Seto for so long; the chance for him to realise his charge/employer has learned to allow people beside Mokuba in, but to also understand the happening beyond his control and understanding in terms of Egypt. That Kisara and Seto were always supposed to find each other. That this small kernel of a family need him to protect them as best he can.

Anyways ... /end rant lecture.

Isono for the character bingo!

ISONOOOOOOOOO

I couldn't not check the "projects onto them like a mf" box when the Isonomoji is one of my most used discord emojis and also I make all my server announcements in Isono Voice. ANYWAYS

In my time honoured tradition of getting weirdly obsessed with Normal Guys who are Just There, I LOVE THIS MAN

Yes yes give him a raise and a vacation but really I want Isono and Fuguta, Proletariat Heroes, to lead the union charge at KaibaCorp because their struggles are OUR struggles and also I like to put Kaiba in a salad spinner, what better way than to have the people finally rise up against his bougie well...aristocrat really flat ass and force him to sit down for negotiations with an organizing committee where he has to promise to stop putting his employees in proximity to Shadow Games and exploding islands and suchlike.

Maybe they can get Pegasus' guys in on it, perhaps Raphael & Valon and assorted bikers, form the United International Federation of Goons, negotiate industry wide safety pay, etc. etc. Oh no. A fanfiction is growing in the back of my brain like a fungus.

With the physical products shipped out, I can finally upload the fics I wrote for the @yu-gi-oh-travel-zine

E-Waste Summary: After the events of Doma, Mai lounges on the beach in Yelapa. As she stares at the setting sun, she contemplates the decisions she has made thus far—and tries to forget about them. Post-series. One-shot. Rating: T Read on Ao3 Read on FF dot net

Resent and Discernment in Rachel Summary: Pegasus’ plans for a romantic getaway with Isis get derailed when his vehicle breaks down on the Extraterrestrial Highway, stranding them in the tiny town of Rachel, Nevada. While waiting for the vehicle to get fixed, they pass the time by attending the small town’s annual alien enthusiast convention.

In other words, a story wherein Pegasus is driven mad by E.T. fanatics, and Isis low-key trolls people trying to convince her little green men built the pyramids. Rating: T Read on Ao3 Read on FF dot net

We don't negotiate with the enemy.

But we'll manipulate the enemy just fine.

[hopefulstarfire]

I'm thinking Meredith and Roland need a third kid. Like Roland has claimed Iris and River and Kaiba and Mokuba. Those are his kids he is a father of four but why not a father of five?

Also because I think it'd be really funny to have this tiny lil bean running around KaibaCorp in her dad's sunglasses acting like she is now the right hand man and Setos like "this is your guy's new boss everything she says goes."

"I wanna paint everything rainbow."

"You heard the lady. Rainbow colored walls everywhere. I want this yesterday."
