Question for the mun: What do you envision the softest moment between Kaiba and Mokuba looking like? I’ve made a few takes on it myself in fics but this account is utterly superb in capturing Kaiba’s essence in a way that is far more realistic than any hot takes I may have, and I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you! I hope you’re doing well!

lovely message!

i think some of the more important things to remember with Kaiba and Mokuba are that they're not very sweet, and they're not very cuddly, and they rarely express any kind of vulnerability - Mokuba more often, in limited situations. theirs is not a fluffy relationship. in addition, i have never loved the idea that Mokuba wants a more boisterous, extroverted, fun goofball brother like Jounouchi; he loves his OWN unhinged and introverted brother and he wants THAT brother to be happy. on top of that, we see across manga and DM that sometimes Mokuba stays up pretty late with Seto, and also that Seto puts him in positions of power - battle city commissioner, in charge of the dig, etc. - trusting him to run things well.

SO when i think about what their "soft" moments are like, i think it's exactly like the scene from the anime where Mokuba's asleep under Seto's coat in battle city... he just wanted to keep Seto company and Seto likes knowing that he's asleep and safe in the room with him... and a lot of Mokuba bringing him coffee or food late at night bc he knows he can't get Seto to go to bed at a reasonable hour so instead he just helps him get the work done... and a lot of "working meetings" which is really just an excuse to go out to lunch under the guise of talking about work.

but all of that is just "soft" and not "softest" so here's my "softest" Kaiba brother hc, i guess: Mokuba is all too familiar with the sound of Seto's nightmares, and he knows better than to try and wake him up (you should never do this). but when Seto shuffles down to the kitchen at 3 AM drained and tired and dazed and with the sweat cooling on his forehead, Mokuba has a hot tea waiting for him. and he slouches in the kitchen chair looking and feeling pathetic and flimsy because having a nightmare calls up all kinds of old feelings inside him, but here is someone, sitting across from him, resting his head on the kitchen table and yawning, who doesn't care that he's ever lost a game and doesn't believe that losing means dying, and who only ever wants him to feel safe and happy. and after twenty minutes of cozy half-lit quiet in their kitchen well past the witching hour Seto will stand up, put his mug into the dishwasher, sleepily ruffle Mokuba's hair, and they will both go back to sleep.

was thinking about my silly YGO Band AU a while back but its spread across like 3 posts and secret tags so I am putting it all in one place for posterity and my own sanity

90's grunge group "PHARAOH" consists of Atem, Anzu, Honda, and Jou. Yugi is the secret song writer behind all their hits, but is too insecure to take public credit, so he has Atem act as charismatic frontman and pretend to have written all their songs. Does this make Atem increasingly uncomfortable? Yes. Will he say anything? lol

Pegasus of I2 records is their eccentric boss, who is happy to keep Yugi and Atem's secret as long as the money keeps rolling in.

Seto Kaiba, a solo act who runs his own label, cannot be managed but in practice delegates those duties to Mokuba and Isono. Swears revenge against Atem for knocking him off the charts, without realizing that Yugi is his real rival.

Ryou Bakura is a very polite boy who writes demonic-sounding deathcore and uses a gallon of fake blood every performance. Has a legion of dangerously rabid teen girl fans. Managed by his widely disliked twin brother, who spends as much time protecting his little bro from their own stalker-y fanbase as he does price-gouging merch and used tissues to sell to those same obsessed teenage girls.

Synthy art pop quartet The Harpies rumored to be on the verge of throwing out their frontwoman, after she made several controversial statements regarding what she views as blatant award snubs.

Over-the-top symphonic goth darkwave act "Marik Iblis and the Orchestra of Ghouls" have trashed yet another hotel room; states beleaguered manager Rishid, "even offstage, sometimes he gets lost in the character."

[shinayashipper]

my usual ships for post-canon setting, or basically just the other ships that happens alongside post-canon rivalship:

1. Kaiba x Yugi - ESTABLISHED. UNBOTHERED. KINGS. 💅💅 (no need explanation for this lol)

2. Jou x Anzu - they're in LDR and to their surprise it's Working 😂 always going with the flow. it started with Jou who had a fcked up sleeping schedule and Anzu who lived 13 hours away and they're the only ones available to voice chat 😂 rivalship happened first but devotion gonna be the first one Getting Married. They're Married Couple material. very american-style wedding.

3. one-sided Otogi->Yugi - Otogi dates a lot of people and is Always Open but his Affection for Yugi cannot be erased... Poor guy QwQ it will never happen bro.

4. Bakura x Malik - Bakura travels to different countries a lot and one day finding himself back in Egypt and Malik guides him around for old friends sake and Things Just Flowed from there 😂 (DARK THEMES tho. Strictly Dark Themes for them) (Like if I always made rivalship being sunshines and rainbows and funny, these two gonna be dark DARK and Messed Up, idk how to explain) (it's called angstshipping for a reason i guess)

Sometimes, for Fun:

5. Mokuba x Shizuka AND Mokuba x Sera (if following DSOD canon) - always HC-ing Mokuba being like a shonen harem anime protag 😂 he and Shizuka are only 2 years apart and they could've gone to same school together, or maybe same cram school if assuming Mokie goes to Private High School in Domino and Shizuka a public high school somewhere else. Sera's case is just to add more comedy. I don't know her exact age and since she's a Plana and was already there since Bakura's young I assume she's Much Older than she looks 😂 BUT she's a Plana aka she's a Magical Girl. she WILL go to Mokuba's class BECAUSE I SAID SO and she's the Mysterious Transfer Student trope. Shizuka is the sweet senpai trope. Let's GO Mokuba's funny little harem. Maybe add Mokuba x Rebecca too. She's the tsundere know-it-all trope. ALL-IN. Mokuba's getting all the Girls in here. (Shizuka: dandere type. Sera: kuudere type. Rebecca: tsundere type. Holy trinity. For YOU Mokuba!!)

[enemyoflactose]

I finished Noah's Arc

My descent into villainy begins.

@lostsomewhereinthegarden wanted to be tagged in this one 💕

Voice acting:

I have no clue what any new characters sound like in the sub, so this 4kids performance only.

Noah: round of applause he sounds fantastic.

Gozuburo: he needs to sound more like he smokes

The Deep Sea Warrior guy: I forgot what he sounded like

Crump: he sounds weird

Johnson: Why is his voice so deep? Why is it so deep? He sounds like a big scary monster.

The robot: I wasn't paying attention to him

Lector: nice. I like his voice.

Dark Magician Girl: it's really annoying for some reason.

Flame Swordsman: hot voice

Serenity's deck master: I don't like it.

Characters:

Yugi: that sure is Yugi. He gets more screentime than usual and that's a nice change. I love his interactions with Téa after her duel, he's so sweet it makes my dumb shipper brain go crazy.

Yami: he sure does duel. He insults Noah a few times, and is mean to Kuriboh in his first duel.

Téa: QUEEN. If Kaiba didn't exist this would have been her season.

Joey: That sure is Joey. It killed me every time he thought of Mai. Bro wants her back so badly.

Tristan: he was robbed. He deserved to duel again.

Duke: this man is so fucking rude like what the hell? I love him tho he's funny and silly.

Serenity: this poor girl blames herself so much. It was not her fault that Tristan died. It was 100% Duke's.

Seto Kaiba: why is he like this? He's so cool.

Mokuba: precious baby wanted to forgive Noah so badly. He said they were family. He said Kaibacorp would help build him a robot body and they could be twins. I'm crying.

Noah: Why was his backstory handled better than the Ishtar's? Why? This is a filler character and I felt worse for him than Marik. Maybe it's because he's a better duelist idk.

The big five: they exist

Gozuburo: his love for Noah was so conditional, I hate this man. I'm glad he's dead.

Important note

Deck Masters are a thing. I like the idea of them.

Duels

Duel 1 - Yugi vs Gansly

Yugi chooses Kuriboh as his deck master and is upset about it because it was an accident.

Gansly is his own deck master.

Most of the duel is Gansly explaining the rules to Yugi and using cards that either don't exist, or are really bad.

Yuugi wins using Kuriboh, Rainbow Bridge, and Gaia the Fierce Knight to attack Gansly directly.

Duel 2 - Téa vs Crump

There was so much Téa fan service in this duel and before this and after this duel. It would have been distracting if this duel wasn't hype.

Téa picks Dark Magician Girl as her deck master, and Crump uses himself/Nightmare Penguin as a deck master.

Crump uses Penguin cards and cards like Cold Wave (Rest in Peace King) to gradually turn Téa into an ice sculpture.

Téa uses cards like Maha Vailo, some equip spells, and Mirror force to help herself, but due to still being a beginner mirror force gets destroyed.

Téa is getting guidance from Dark Magician Girl on how to duel, and ends up using Sage's Stone to special summon Dark Magician.

Téa wins the duel.

Also, Crump wanted to build a penguin themed amusement park, but that's not important.

Duel 3 - Joey vs Johnson

Joey stumbled into a court room after thinking he found his way back to the blimp. He was tricked by Johnson who was pretending to be Mai.

Joey's deck master is Flame Swordsman and Johnson's is Judge Man.

During this duel, Joey is using his deck master's special ability to raise his monsters attack points, but then they all get destroyed.

Now Joey is putting his faith in his gambling cards, but Johnson is cheating and making it so Joey can't use them

Noah catches this and calls out Johnson, but Joey says it's fine as long as he doesn't cheat anymore.

Joey ends up winning.

Duel 4 - Tristan, Duke, and Serenity vs Nezbit

I wasn't paying attention to this duel until Tristan died.

I still wasn't paying attention after he died.

Duke and Serenity win, but Nezbit got to take control of Tristan's body and now Tristan is Robot Monkey Tristan.

Duel 5: Kaiba vs Lector

This duel was too short.

Lector's deck master is Jinzo and Kaiba's is Lord of D.

During this duel, Lector is using cards like Jinzo and Imperial Order to make sure Kaiba can't use spells or traps. He also uses Injection Fairy Lily. I miss her. I miss my Lily.

Kaiba catches on to Lector's plan and makes him lose too many life points to keep Lily and Imperial Order on the field, then he summons Blue Eyes White Dragon and destroys a Satellite. I'm pretty sure 4kids censored this scene, because there was a weird jump cut from Blue Eyes attacking, to the debris falling.

Duel 6 - Joey and Yugi vs The Big Five

The big five are using Tristan's body to duel, and they're doing alright with early Umi Control. Then Johnson ruins it.

Yugi and Joey fuse their deck masters The Big Five fuse their deck masters.

Uhhhhhh

Yugi and Joey win and we never see the Big Five again.

Important stuff that happened

Mokuba got kidnapped and brainwashed.

Kaiba and the gang found out that Noah was Kaiba's step brother.

Noah is being really creepy to Mokuba.

Duel 7 - Yugi and Kaiba vs Noah

This duel is so long

Kaiba is really trying his best and is kind of winning, but Noah is reciting the Bible and using Mokuba as a shield so Kaiba loses because he is a hardcore reddit atheist and loves Mokuba.

Yugi calls Noah a hypocrite and combines his and Kaiba's deck.

Kaiba and Mokuba are turned to stone at this point.

Yuugi keeps talking shit and then Duke gets turned to stone. Nothing of value was lost.

Noah has to activate his deck master's second ability because Yugi destroyed the first one, and now Yugi has to fave Shinatu or whatever his name was.

Noah keeps raising his life points and he's using Spirit Monsters

My honest reaction to spirit monsters.

At least we saw Yatagurasu.

Noah is turning Yugi's friends to stone every turn, but Téa gets to stay alive for one more turn because she's just cool like that.

Yami summons all three Dark Magicians that he has ,but Noah destroyed all of them.

Then Yami summons Blue eyes and wipes out Noah's life points.

Yugi won and Kaiba wasn't happy that Yugi used his deck.

Duel 8 - Kaiba vs Gozuburo

This duel was also too short.

Gozuburo has Exodia and it gave Kaiba PTSD.

Kaiba has to send all 5 pieces of Exodia to the graveyard so that Gozuburo can summon Exodia Necros.

Necros is invincible and Kaiba's all like "You still take damage dumbass"

Gozuburo raises the attack of Necros, and Kaiba banishes (or puts them back in the deck I forgot) the Exodia pieces that were in the graveyard.

Kaiba wins and Gozuburo tries to take over his body anyway, but Yugi saves him.

Important stuff that happened

The squad was looking for an exit with Noah

Noah was told he was disappoinment so many times.

Mokuba accepted Noah as part of his family

Noah went to the real world to help the gang get their bodies back.

The island is about to explode.

Téa, Tristan and Serenity get their bodies back first

Then Duke and Joey

Then the rest of them.

Noah traps Gozuburo in Cyber space.

The island exploded

The End

[paintedmage]

Just Saw the Yugi vs Grandpa Duel

So now we know what Dan and Wayne recorded a little more than a month ago! My thoughts on the duel as one who doesn't really know how to play the card game itself:

Solomon's Millennium cards were a pretty cool theme for his deck

BRO USING AN EXODIA FORM AGAINST HIS GRANDSON- (Kaiba was probably laughing wherever he was during this)

The reminiscing AUGHH 😭

The Yugi internal thought moments with Dan just standing there silent made me laugh a little bit.

Yugi and his goddamn Kuriboh wall got me, just the script duelist spreading a whole deck-worth of cute fluffballs out on the mat sent me.

The callbacks to the series in this duel-

Yugi dueling on his own yet showing a little of Atem's cockiness made me weep. Little baby boy's grown up and his brother would be proud.

The Kuribohs being swept away made me sad. Poor fluffies :(

HEART OF THE CARDS, HEART OF THE CARDS-

Gandora!!! :D

The effects and their activation methods are so confusing to me.

Grandpa's optimism is so sweet.

YUGI GOT EXODIA'D (Kaiba HAS to be wearing a shit-eating grin right now. Although knowing Kaiba he'd just be mad it wasn't him to beat Yugi.)

Aww, he gave his grandson a new Dark Magician before he left :3

[steve0discusses]

S5 Ep 50: Tristan Hates Horses, I Think

Been a while! Tumblr’s annoying as hell changes to the text editor took a lot of wind out of my sails, ngl. It had some problems they're resolving as they go, but it was really annoying to use and to edit if you write any amount of youknow……words….

And I was talking to a friend about this, and they were like “have you tried writing it in google docs and copy pasting it after?” And I happily realized when you copy paste from google docs, it also copies the PICTURES. This has literally saved hours of my life, y'all. It has turned something that was so frustrating I didn't want to open tumblr again into something that is no longer an obstacle so I can write once more!

So lets travel to Yugi’s brain, where Tristan desperately has to make up for all the work he hasn’t done because he was just a wee tiny bit possessed.

It may be hard to pick up where Tristan is on this picture, and I hope I recorded it somewhere in OBS like 2 months ago when I finished the series because it was such a funny animation, but hot damn this boy has hops.

And  you can see him there on the ground in the bottom left corner, that isn’t a rock, that’s Tristan having toppled a man with his bare hands, a man who had a sword and was sitting on an armored horse.

Can you believe this guy ran for school president? And then lost and humbly became the janitor?

Meanwhile, Joey discovered magic.

Confirmation that duel disks are made out of old tank parts.

Realizing for the first time that magic exists, they decide to peace out.

Back in the real world, Mokuba and Roland don’t know where the hell Seto went. Which is weird, I figured Seto would at least leave a note or a text message or…anything…but apparently even if he did, he just disappeared at some point down in Marik’s old living room.

So Roland and Mokuba decided that in order to find him, they would have to take a massive Boeing 747 to find their lost child.

Some kids have a motorcycle, some kids have a scooter, Mokuba just wants the most boring ass big commercial plane that is meant to sit a couple hundred people in an awkward way. That’s what Mokuba wants.

Just Mokuba things.

My bro who edits these for me wrote in huge ass letters "ROLAND SIGHTING" While saying "ROLAND ROLAND ROLAND" so I want y'all to know how much we appreciate a good Roland in this house.

Speaking of, I know it's like season 5 but...who is the other guy? He wears funny sunglasses but I have never heard his name, not once.

But this is when the plane was filled with heavenly light.

They begin to see the fight happening between Seto Kaiba (the OG Seto, the one that is cool and isn’t depressed because his not-wife died) and Bakura (who is now Zorc). Don’t ask me how the time stuff works, and why we see it now of all the times in human history, and right over Egypt in the sky. Don’t ask me why.

I assume it’s time compression shenanigans, just like FF8, so maybe it’s just every moment in time is able to see this UFO in the sky, but overall, it’s here because it looks cool. The fact that this right here is actually not a physical place, but is actually a figment of Yugi’s imagination shaped by Pharaoh’s botchy memories--is neither here nor there. Instead, it’s everywhere. 

Seto is unimpressed by this, because he knows how science and timelines should work, and this wouldn’t pass Kaiba Corp inspection.

Back at the yellow palace made of cheese and mario blocks, Pharaoh is still knocked out from that time he summed all 3 dragons last episode, which to me feels like just eons ago. 

But it’s OK, he’s fine now.

Typically he’d be dead, because his dragons died on the battlefield and their life force is connected to their monsters. But not only is Pharaoh 1.) already dead and 2.) the author of this universe and cannot die or this universe ceases to exist he’s 3.) got the puzzle, which means he can’t actually perma die, unlike everyone else in his court who is perma-gone.

He is not surprised by what is currently happening in Egypt’s downtown strip.

This is probably every day in Domino. Every day Seto Kaiba wakes up everyone in town with his three-headed dragon princess just because he can. Hell, Seto was doing this fight with Bakura on the top towers of Domino just this morning (or last morning…not sure if time passes in real life the same way it does in puzzle life)

The audacity of Yami right now, the one moment Yugi isn’t there to scream about ledges, this boy is leaping joyfully off that ledge. 

He fuses with the dragon which gives him this familiar outfit.

I thiiiiink it’s the same outfit as Alexander season? I’ll be real with you though, I don’t really want to look it up. Either way, good to see the return of putting on a ton of armor in a card game, I don't think we've seen it Canonically since that one time Joey did it against Valon, and ever since then, Joey kind of forgot it was a thing he can just do.

But unlike Joey, Yami doesn’t take the opportunity to punch Zorc in the face, instead he just loses yet another time.

This time he didn’t even pass out, he barely even died. This is progress, truly.

But as Zorc is powering up the peepee missile to fire in Yami’s face (what a way to die!), Shadi has decided to inform us why he’s been stalking these kids for this entire show.

So there’s two ways to read this. 1.) Shadi was Hassan the entire time but had to go back in time from this moment in order to do it or 2.) Shadi possessed the power of Hassan last second so Yami could avoid death one final time.

Both of these explanations don’t fully make sense to me, I’ll be honest, because in order to know that he’ll be needed in the first place, Shadi had to know that Yami would die at this particular moment--a moment that is a different timeline than has ever existed before.

So really, Shadi was just going by a hunch. He was like “I dunno, I’ll see how this goes.” which is more in line with the Shadi we know and love.

Is it a crying shame that Shadi, who has been with us for so many seasons, and it so integral to this show had such an unceremonious death? Yeah. I feel like I didn’t quite get the closure I wanted but I’m also sort of confused as to…what happened. But I’ll leave it there because apparently we get more Shadi content in Dark Side of Dimensions.

Anyway, I have no idea if these images will even fit into a post with how how tumbler does posts nowadays, and I'll be real I had to re upload the last bit of it, which I suspect was over 15 images???? Not sure??? but we found a workaround! google docs works!

Also, Seto didn’t die today! Instead it was Shadi! For a SECOND time!

I cannot believe how freakin lucky Mana is, this girl is still kicking and if Mana survives everything I am…going to be astonished, that’s what. Mana secretly OP, who knew?

if I turn it into a link it doesn't work right because the text editor is really, really bad. I hate it a lot. But uh...feel free to copy paste it until I can get links to cooperate.

Summary: There are times when Mokuba sees too much of Gozaburo in Seto. But he can only bite his tongue so long.

He would walk into the house and find the room where Seto was, and he would open the door and find… someone. A chimera, sewn together from three tenses: the poisonous blood of the past and the blind eyes of the future and the tight, trembling flesh of the present.  Isono materialized from the depths of the house, with a face as bland as a mannequin’s. “What will it be today, Mokuba-sama? Hiking or kayaking?” Mokuba threw him a look. Silently he discarded one of the many possible Setos he might have found. Seto still schemed and lied and manipulated, but he had long left that black mirror-blade behind: look what you made me do. Making that kind of argument offended his pride and his sense of self-control. He was not trying to bait Mokuba into falling into any secret traps of blame. If he was still trying to send Mokuba away, then he was just hiding. Maybe. “Where's Niisama?” he said. “He has asked not to be disturbed,” Isono said. “You people are always telling me I can’t see him,” Mokuba retorted, and he slid into the house.

I'm so super glad you're into Yugioh now!! I've loved your art forever and seeing you draw the Kaiba bros is a dream come true, you draw them so well! I'm curious though, do you have any ships??

I’m glad you’re liking the yugioh stuff!!! Kaiba bros were meant for me I swear lmao. And in terms of ships, not particularly? To me yugioh is a show about siblings. Seto and Mokuba (and Noa). Ishizu Marik and Odion. Trinity and Joey. And I know not everyone sees it this way but I also see Yugi and Atem as like… siblings isn’t entirely the right word even though I think their interactions give SOOO much older and younger brother energy. But more like they’re two halves of the same soul that were separated and then grew in different ways if that makes sense. But regardless their interactions are more familial to me than anything (though I realize that’s not everyone’s take). (This is also just me playing in the space but I loooooove the idea of Seto and Kisara having the same kind of deal. They’re part of the same soul but her soul is sealed in a stone tablet, and even then she found her way back. Then Kaiba pulls out his 3 blue eyes and it’s like ✌️😜 me n the girliepoos!!!)

The only thing I could say for ships personally is that I’m living in an au in my head where Atem refuses the afterlife and gets to stay in a body of his own, and him and Kaiba have a thing. And then at some point there’s a failed marriage proposal Pride and Prejudice style where kaiba’s like “I am SICK I am ILL I can’t stop thinking about you, I’ve tried, I can’t, it makes me so fucking pissed that I’m obsessed with some broke dweeb that was living in the brain of the dweeb in chief, so just MARRY ME.” And Atem just kind of looks at him like uh huh….ok….and….you thought this phrasing would make me say yes. Well I can’t say I’m surprised that you are once again back on your bullshit.

I also think it’s very funny if Kaiba and Ishizu have a thing specifically because my friend sent me a manga panel of Ishizu saying she was prepared to die if she couldn’t save her younger brother and kaiba’s like “holy shit she’s just like me fr….” But again that exists in a mind palace where Ishizu and Atem are like. Friends with benefits who are both dating Kaiba and he schedules quarterly reviews with both of them wrt The Relationship. So all the shippy stuff to me is purely for comedic effect essentially. Also if all disagreements between the three of them are handled immediately with a duel and smartass comments which I think would be particularly fun to see with Ishizu, because it’s a crime we only got to see her duel once (though she did make Kaiba sweat which was so real of her). I also think that Kaiba deserves to be smacked in the mouth but I like mean people so I wouldn’t want anyone to do it—EXCEPT Ishizu because of all the shit he talked about Marik (even though he was yami Marik at the time). He knows the rules about messing with younger siblings so if she smacks him in the mouth he had it coming.

Anyways tl;dr - all of this to say that the ships aren’t too serious to me, it’s the family relationships that really hooked me on yugioh!!!

The funniest part of the whole "Jounouchi sharing porn tapes with Yugi" gag in the manga is this probably means Jou eventually gets a good idea of how far the kink rabbit hole goes with Yugi, which then eventually makes that idea I had of a frustrated/desperate/frustrated AND desperate Seto coming to Jounouchi to get him to help him with his relationship with Yugi that much funnier.

Like, you know, you KNOW Yugi would be holding back, because of oh god Kaiba is a ball of trauma, he cannot fully display his freak flag oh no oh no no no. But who here knows how freaky Yugi is? Jounouchi. Who, honestly, is torn between (1) not airing his bro's personal business, because (2) honestly fuck Kaiba still, but also (3) ripping the bandage off will probably be best for them in the long run???? Maybe it'll scare Kaiba off and Yuug will find someone better too.

(Spoilers: it will not scare Kaiba off; it will at best confuse him or at worst give him an Awakening(tm).)
