#kleptoshipping

[romanceddawn]

kleptoshipping with yami bakura being so enchanted with yugi, and he's mad about it but he's also not one to deny himself what he wants, but yugi and the nerd herd dont trust him, though, so he usually pretends to be his host just to get time close to yugi

poor ryou is so confused every time his friends come up to him privately and ask if he has a crush because he looks at yugi sooo love struck and he should just go for it already (while the spirit is in the back of his head annoyed and jealous but its also his own fault)

Can we take a moment to appreciate the compatibility of unconventional Yamis and Hikaris?

As Atem and Marik were not masters of their destinies, they were the heirs of a great responsibility that they did not want, they were so small when the whole world fell on their shoulders and they did what they could with their lack of maturity to move forward.

They are both afraid of the dark (because of the initiation and being locked in the puzzle for 3000 years) and there were only two people around them to take care of them properly (Isis and Rishid and Mahad and Mana) they were children who had to become adults of blow, Marik was freed from his responsibility, Atem had to follow the rules.

Bakura and Yūgi were alone and isolated from the others due to their particular characteristics (white hair and obsession with games) and they only had one consolation (Diabound and Grandpa). Of course, as they grew up, there was someone else who gave them what they needed to keep them company ( Zorc and Anzu).

They are both afraid of fire (the Kul Elna massacre and the fire in Black Clown), they were children who just wanted to be understood, Yūgi got it, Bakura didn't.

Yami Marik and Ryou were isolated in their own body, sharing space with someone who didn't appreciate them, can you imagine the traumas those two had with impersonalization? Of not knowing how to be themselves because they didn't have time for that because they were locked behind someone else? Carrying the deaths of his family on his conscience and with the guilt, but Ryou was able to start living after Bakura was defeated, Yami Marik was vanished.

I mean, everyone loves Puzzleshipping, Thiefshipping, tendershipping (and I do too, they're amazing, I really love them) but the level of understanding they have for these couples is just amazing, imagining Atem and Marik comforting each other in the middle of the darkness because they know that the other feels, Bakura and Yūgi talking about how lonely their life was and how painful the fire is, Yami Marik and Ryou have a cathartic moment when they discover that they are their own people with a body of their own and can think about their future.

I don't know, I want to cry, they are perfect for each other and they don't get enough appreciation.

Kleptoshipping thought

Bakura and Yugi have this inappropriate game. In which Bakura frequently tries to sneak up on Yugi in various places, grab him from behind and press a knife against his throat.

It’s never actually a threat, Bakura just wants attention and this is how he asks for it.

Yugi thinks it’s hot, and whenever Bakura catches him it turns him on. He still tries his best to be vigilant however, and catch Bakura before it can happen, because that’s half the game.

It started as an attempt for Bakura to scare and toy with Yugi. A show of how dangerous Bakura is, and how easily he could kill Yugi. But overtime Yugi realized Bakura wasn’t going to actually hurt him. It was all posturing. Eventually Yugi realized Bakura was just doing it for attention, about the same time he realized it turned him on.

Related to my "Yuugi with the Millennium Ring" AU...

I like to think Bahkure kinda just. Sits in weird spots as a spirit, partially to make Yuugi laugh.

Sometimes he uses Yuugi as a chinrest when he's doing his homework. Other times he's sitting on top of a teacher and making stupid faces while taking the piss.

One time he held his hands out and pretended to choke Kaiba during one of his long monologues and Yuugi had to do everything in his power to stop from laughing his ass off right there.

It doesn't help that he looks like YB as a spirit, so he looks a lot like Ryou, which makes it even funnier.

I see that you ship Casteshipping, then you also ship Klepto, Heart or Fragile? What are your opinion of them?

Yep, Caste/Kingshipping is in my top 3!

To be completely honest, Klepto is a bit weird for me... like I don't hate it, but I'm not crazy about it either. I don't really have any real issues with it, it's just not for me, I think. I know many people who consider this their bread and butter and good for them! (All amazing people, btw.) I can see why people would be really into this ship. It definitely has potential, and I've read a couple of fics about it, and there are some amazing fanart of them circling around. I really love most ships under the Trapship umbrella, but for some reason, Klepto/Bound in a monogamous relationship just doesn't really work for me? And I literally dont know why! I guess I just I prefer these two together in polycules, lol.

Heartshipping, on the other hand, is really cute! King of Games Yugi and his "I'm what's known as a gamer" boyfriend Ryou is just a really sweet and wholesome couple. Just imagine the hijinks they can get up to together! ninjam117 has a really cool mermaid heartship fic with amazing illustrations, and I'm just obsessed with it XD. It's not exactly my favourite ship, but I definitely ship them!

Fragile, I can go feral about any day, though. It's not my top ship, but I just really like it somehow? I don't even have a real reason for it. I just think they're neat. They have both angst and fluff potential, and that's more than enough for me. <3

But yeah, I also like trapshipping. It's really fun to put these 4 in a box and see what happens.

Rambling about some yugioh ships

Because I Can. note that i am an enormous multishipper and i firmly believe in everyone holding yugi's hand collectively at the same time, so me not mentioning a ship does not mean i don't support it. Kleptoshipping(Yugi/Bakura) listen. listen. Listen. it's about the belief in anyone's ability to change, it's about the reflection outside of your mirror, it's about extending a hand to someone who so clearly needs it even when they repeatedly reject you. to ignore the hatred they spew because you know it's never been you they're seeing in your face, and knowing that you could help someone you care about so much but helping this person who probably doesn't deserve it. It's about being a creature born of vengeance and hatred and being so obsessed with the destruction of everything around you, and constantly treating this person as nothing more than a vessel for the one you NEED to ruin, and losing to them. it's about constantly being the worst person in the universe and knowing you neither want nor deserve kindness, and recieving it anyways, aggressively recieving it. it's about the inescapable pity, how the ties between you can become so tangled and yet STILL be shoutted through. it's about reaching anyone. it's about always seeing past someone to view their alter, and assuming that they've always done the same with you, and coming to realize that they're speaking to you, caring for you. it's about recognizing that the people you love can still have things they need to attone for. it's about coming to an agreement with your enemy that this one person deserves some kind of protection. there is NO kleptoshipping without recognizing their respective relations to yami and ryou, and that is so much of the point. Darkshipping(Yami/Bakura) for me it's the potential, the different timelines we never see, the fact that there are so many different paths they could go down to NOT end in the way they did. it's about trying to push past flaming hatred to reach someone, to recognize the pain they're experiencing, to see that they aren't just evil, but they're hurting. it's about the overwhelming responsibility of being such a young pharoah and having so little memory. it's about the power you hold over someone when you remember what they don't, how if you can stomach convincing them you're a trustworthy friend you can completely destroy them. It's about how things could have gone so, so differently if the bakuras had been there in the Waking The Dragons arc. it's about having your worst fears confirmed to you, about listening to the shadows whispers that you're the evil one. It's about refusing to just leave someone to drown even if it means they tug you down with them. It's screaming to the sky to go ahead, kill me, and then tell the stars that you won. it's about loving someone you have no choice but to destroy, knowing in your heart that you can only fight one fate at a time. it's about "No Children" by the mountain goats. it's about grieving, about how soul-destroying it is to move on when your entire identity is built around your rage, about the stomach-dropping oh as you realize revenge will only make you hurt more. more to come in reblogs tumblr is being mean to me

yugi and atem in a post canon scenario always going to hang out with bakura and ryou at their apartment and stay the night, and it happens so much that ryou is eventually like "why dont we all just buy a bigger place together?" and everyone tries to play off how bad they want that but they all agree to

when they're actually looking for places, its starts out as just a big apartment like 'oh haha just a starter place until all of us figure our lives out and go our separate ways' but somewhere along the line they've all decided they may as well get a house instead because why not if they're all putting money towards it, and then they settle in and make it so much their home that they all agree it'd be silly to leave, they may as well just spend the rest of their lives together there haha its no big deal (it is such a big deal that they're all separately trying to figure out if they can do a 4 way marriage)

[antaresr]

I was thinking of a Klepto, death and gold fic but, there are only three bodies, so everyone needs to make schedules to go out with their respective partner using the body.

Marik: I want wednesday and friday

Bakura: Tell him to go fuck himself, I want Fridays.

Ryou: Uh, Bakura doesn't agree.

Marik: Then tell that asshole to fight me

Yugi: He's totally going to fight you, Bakura we can have Saturdays, a whole day to be together

Bakura: *mumbles intelligibly*

Ryou: I didn't understand that, can you speak more clearly?

Yamima: I want Saturdays!

Marik: Fuck no, keep Sundays, shit!

Ryou and Yugi: What?

Marik: Not you, the other me!

Meanwhile Atem is just sitting next to Yūgi listening to how they all fight because he doesn't exactly care because Marik will get his way anyway.

Although eventually it could turn into Yuumeishipping if you push too hard, I mean at some point someone is going to wake up with the wrong half and think it wouldn't be so bad if they could date him too

[liberationwasboundtohappen]

Nnnngh thinking about Yuugi with the Ring and Ryou with the puzzle...

Yuugi, having developed a relationship / kinship with Bakhure when he was a child, is used to the idea of having a crush on a spirit in his artifact. When Ryou shows feelings for the spirit in the puzzle, the pair play matchmaker.

And by "matchmaker" I mean Bakhure telling Ryou, "casually", that if they want to make out, there's a way to do it in the soul room without much time passing in the real world.

Ryou stares at him with a blank smile as Yuugi internally screams with embarrassment.

[hereforthefunnyguys]

objectively three of my favorite ships being boundshipping fragileshipping and Irateshipping is really funny because it looks like:

Yugi: I am dating my best friends worst enemy that also terrorized my other friend for years on end and is responsible for a variety of the social and psychological issues he has today. However, you see, I Could Fix Him,

Ryou: I have finally found a ghost that doesn’t want me dead and will in fact wholeheartedly attempt to make me happy and protect me no matter what and now I worry about him because I see so much of both myself and my former tormentor in him and I want him to be better than either of us ever were

marik: well this is my new beautiful jock boyfriend named Joey Jou J.J. Jonouchi and I love his stupid hair and the undercurrent of deep sadness hidden in his eyes. What you guys have sounds great tho
