#mama muto

[chaoscheebs]

Brain suddenly was struck with the mental image of Seto Kaiba, after a long, particularly trying day, casually letting himself into Yugi’s place, walking past Yugi’s mom and grandpa, possibly physically picking up Yugi along the way if he’s not at the end goal already, climbing into Yugi’s bed (with Yugi) that is definitely not built for Kaiba’s tall self, and zonking the fuck out.  Sorry, Yugi, it’s like living with a cat, but much bigger and clingier; you’re stuck there until whenever the hell he wakes up.

Meet my OC: Muto 🇧🇷 🇯🇵

Pronouns: they/them

Age: 14

Local teenager who was training to become a proper Shepherd before encountering Bellum and getting roped into raising an infant god.

More lore under the cut!

They have an RSI in their forearms that results in chronic pain and severe cramping that leaves their arms non functional if exacerbated too much. This is due to a combination of an old childhood injury (see scars) and their own overworking. Their arm bracers help with the pain, and the patches warn if they are about to cramp and drop everything.

Parts of their outfit are made up from their late mama's Shepherd uniform, since their family can't afford to buy a new one.

They have an Innate magic known as Antithesis, where any and all spells they cast create an equal and opposite effect. This has caused trouble at the Shepherd Academy and forced them to become skilled at various magic expressions very quickly in order to keep up.

They're often reckless and overenthusiastic about new magic with little regard for their safety, something Bellum has to pick up the slack for.

*chittering noises*

*walks in holding a miniature Hokmuto in my arms, with his legs and wings dangling*

MUTO ecology headcanons? MUTO ecology headcanons?

Kaliido, you have opened the floodgates.

Alright.

So, I headcanon that MUTOs are a coastal species, because everywhere a MUTO was willingly, it was a coastal environment. The Philippines, Janjira, Honolulu, San Francisco, and Hoboken, where Barb was sleeping. Yucca Mountain and Las Vegas are outliers- but Femuto didn’t go there willingly, she was taken to Yucca as a spore, and the rest of it is her seeking out radiation and then heading to the coast. (A non-ecology headcanon of mine is that she remembers Monarch cutting open and running tests on her as a fetus, which explains her being slightly more aggressive towards humans in the beginning than Hokmuto (who might have even learned to associate humans with food by that point)). Then, of course, the nest blows and she becomes way more aggressive.

Also, Hokmuto was able to dive deep enough to catch that Russian sub (or snatch it from the surface if it was surfacing at the time) and then carry it to Hawaii, where he proceeded to enjoy his nuclear missile munchies. He performs a similar stunt with the nuke boat in San Francisco Bay, diving on it from the clouds (in what I consider to be one of the most visually stunning shots of the MonsterVerse), then swimming underwater with it to the shore.

This leads me to believe that male MUTOs would fly out to sea to hunt, snacking on smaller ocean-going Titans such as Genitors or Squidfaces (the Skull Island Final Boss Thing), before carrying their catch back to the coast for their mates and babies.

Which brings me to the females. I believe that they would use their long forelimbs to root around in the mud and sand for prey such as Mire Squids, Trapdoor Crabs, or Sirenjaws. Nesting spires and cocooning sites would be dug into high cliffs or expanded from naturally-occurring sea caves to keep them safe.

Not sure how Primuto fits into all this but nobody cares about her.

In short, preferred feeding territory would be the open sea, barrier islands, brackish inlets, saltmarshes, and estuaries. Another tally on the “coastal” theory involves their preferred nesting host, Titanus Gojira- an ocean-going and semiaquatic species. Males would lure the Gojira to the coast, where he and the waiting mate would work together to subdue it, having lured the Gojira onto land, where it would be much clumsier and easier to bring down.

Another headcanon I have involves the nesting spire- namely, you can hear the babies chirping and chittering from inside their eggs. I believe that this was to allow them to coordinate their hatching time and to alert Mama and Papa to have food ready (Some crocodilians and birds do the same thing).

Another involves the spire itself, as well as the cocoon and the spores- namely, it’s a mix of the MUTO’s thick saliva and dirt/other materials. Spores that are injected into a host will form their shells from chewed-up bone or carapace matter.

As for the unseen larval stage- I believe it to be semi-aquatic, given the theories I have stated above and below, and the fact that baby Hokmuto was hauling ass over sea from the Philippines to Janjira.

My final headcanon is that I subscribe to the “MUTOs are derived lungfish” theory. Look up a lungfish skull and tell me that’s not the most MUTO thing you’ve ever seen. The metamorphic life cycle could be a form of neotenal larva developing into a fully formed adult (like an amphibian, but with an added cocoon for protection, given the transformation takes longer due to size and energy needs). Lungfish have working lungs, as their name suggests, meaning it’s not inconceivable that they could evolve to be full air-breathers as adults (esp. with Hollow Earth fuckery/by kaiju movie standards). The multiple limbs can be explained as being like a sea robin’s fingers (look it up). Lungfish cocoon themselves with saliva during droughts to survive. Etc. Not sure how the EMP factors in- mayhap could say it has something to do with the lateral line? One could say that their “eyes” aren’t even really eyes, but modified lateral lines (this explains the radio light flashing in time with Femuto’s “eye” pulsing). I do thing they have some form of visual sight though.

I’m aware some of these ideas contradict themselves, but a lot of the canon stuff about the MUTOs is contradictory as well.

Anyway, that concludes my lecture. Apologies for the long post, as you can tell I’m so normal about my lil buggy boys and girls.

So sorry for not responding to this ask sooner but I fucking love this!!!! The canon explanation for MUTOs and their biology has mostly left me unsatisfied (the parasite thing feels underdeveloped and all the different forms just don’t make sense? what is the purpose of the Prime or the Queen?? Why do they exist and why do they BOTH need to exist?). I love when people go “fuck canon” and just run wild with reinterpretation, this shit is my jam. Especially when it comes to the MV and reemphasizing that these monsters are animals with lifestyles beyond “graaah scary predator”. Awesome shit right here anon.

[fictionkinfessions]

The Queen's Gambit: Season Zero

Sehrazat never believed the ancient magical stories of her family and the Millium Fragment they had kept safe for over 3000 years, was just an amulet.

Nothing more.

This all changes the day when she meets Yugi Muto and his unfinished Millennium Puzzle.

Where was Kihana when she needed her?!

Yugi/OC, Yami/OC

So yeah, watched Season 0 on YouTube and the plotbunnies plotted. So have this little Spin-Off Series to Queen's Gambit. It's not canon in the normal Queen's Gambit Universum, but more of an alternative universum.

I'm making Au's of my AU's, that deep I'm now XD

Anyway, enjoy Season Zero with Sehrazat and a very dark Afya :P

Chapter 1

Sehrazat wondered where all had gone wrong in their lives.

Was she dramatic?

Perhaps.

Her mother wasn't supposed to teach at Domino University yet! She should have begun teaching there next half year.

However, the Professor, who currently had the job, decided one day after another that he was sick of city life and not only quit his job but also moved into the wilderness of Japan.

So Domino University called desperate her mother, who still taught in Lisabon, if she could come sooner.

Domino in Japan had a special place in her mother's heart, that's where she had met her husband and Sehrazat's late father.

This was the main reason why she wanted to teach there.

So she said yes.

Also started the Faizan and the Schariq's, Kihana (Sehrazat's best friend) family to pack their things for Japan.

Of course, that's when Uncle Djamal had an accident at his work, breaking both his legs.

He couldn't travel like this!

For the first time in 3000 years, the Schariq and Faizan had to go for a while their separate ways.

Unbelievable!

Sehrazat and her mother Amira would move first to Domino and wait that the Schariq's, Rahila, Djamal, Kihana and little Sadiye, would join them after Djamal was healthy again.

The big house they had decided to move into together, stayed empty and Sehrazat and Amira moved into a flat.

It was so weird.

Sehrazat wasn't used to being really alone with her mother.

Since she could remember, there were Aunty Rahila, Uncle Djamal, Kihana and Sadiye with them.

Let her rephrase it, not weird, it was just plain wrong.

She missed them all so much, the most Kihana.

What should she do without her best friend at a new school?

Or even in life?!

Kihana protected and loved her.

Sehrazat never faced the first day in a new school alone.

Oh dear Isis, she felt like throwing up.

Brushing her mid-length dark blue hair, the Egyptian girl looked into the mirror.

By the Goddess Isis, Domino High School Uniform was an eyesore. Orange Blazer with green skirt and bow.

She may have orange eyes, like Topasz, but still what a colour combination, it didn't make her look good.

Unenthusiastic she made her way to the kitchen where her mother had made her pancakes.

At least something nice.

"Now princess, I know you are nervous since you will be without Kihana.", began Amira, looking at her daughter, who poked her pancakes more than eating them. "So I want to give you this."

Amira placed a little golden box with hieroglyphs all over it before Sehrazat.

The 14-year-old nearly choked on the bit of pancake in her mouth.

"You want to give me the Millenium Fragment?!", yelped Sehrzat, eeying the box. "But...but don't I have to wait for my 15th birthday to inherit it?!"

Her mother signed and caressed her hair: "My little princess, all is so different now. I think the gods will forgive us if I give it to you now. I think you will need its strength."

Oh no, not the magical mambo-jumbo bullshit!

The dark blue-haired girl wanted to protest, yet she saw the worry in her mother's eyes.

For Amira, it wasn't easy either to be away from the Schariq's, from Rahila her best friend.

She should accept how her mother just wanted to protect her extra, now that they were only in two.

"Okay, Mama."

Sehrazat put the box in her backpack.

How bad could it be to carry around a rumoured ancient magical item?

(*)

In Domino High School a young and really short boy named Yugi Muto listened to what his classmates were so excited about.

Since he really didn't have any friends, he could only so get the newest gossip, rumours and information.

"Did you hear?", said Anzu Mazaki, a girl who was the closest he had to friend, to Miho Nosaka. "We get a new student!"

"Oh is it a boy or a girl?"

"A girl, and she is so short. It's really adorable!"

"Oh, cute!"

Yugi admitted he got excited.

Maybe...he could make friends with the new girl?

If he managed to talk to her at all.

Soon their teacher enters the classroom with the new girl beside him.

Whispers broke out, about how tiny and beautiful she was. Some even said they never saw someone black so up close.

"Kids, this is your new classmate Faizan Sehrazat-Chan.", introduced Sensei her. "Please welcome her to our class."

Faizan-San made a perfect bow in greeting.

"It's nice meeting you all."

Oh, this was interesting she had a soft British accent.

"Would you like to tell us something about yourself Faizan-Chan?", asked the teacher.

The girl turned bashful and played with her fingers.

"Erm...there is not really much to say. I'm 14 and was born in London, but I'm originally Egyptian and I like games?"

She made it really sound like a question.

Yugi had to agree when nearly to whole class whispered she was cute.

Sehrazat was really, really cute.

Their teacher had mercy on her and told her to sit down beside him.

Beside him!

Happy Yugi raised his hand to show her where to go.

Maybe he really could talk to her!

Faizan-San sat down and he turned with a friendly, hopeful not creepy smile to her.

"Hi I'm Muto Yugi, you can call me Yugi."

When Faizan-San turned to greet him, their eyes met.

Topaz and Amethyst found each other.

And both gasped for breath.

Now that she was up close, Yugi noted how utterly beautiful Sehrazat was.

Not only cute but so beautiful it took your breath away.

And these eyes of hers...so brilliant and unique...he had never seen orange eyes...like topas...nonetheless he felt he had looked into these eyes a thousand times...like he was coming home.

Meanwhile, Sehrazat had similar thoughts crossing her mind.

This Yugi...his eyes reminded her of beautiful Amethyst. Eyes that she knew...even if it was impossible...it was like she had found a missing piece of herself.

He was a handsome young man!

Yugi turned red like a tomato, while Sehrzat hid behind her hair.

Both were sweating buckets.

None of them knew what do to now.

Unknown to them Yugi unfished MilleniumPuzzle and Sehrzat Millenium Fragment glowed for a brief second.

It was like the two items wanted to say hello to each other.

Somehow Sehrazat found the courage to crook out to Yugi: "I'm Sehrazat or just Sehra, nice to meet you."

Still, they didn't look at each other.

"Likewise...", mumbled Yugi back.

To their luck, their Homeroom Teacher started the lesson.

They could worry later if they made a complete Buffon before the other.

(*)

Finally, it was Lunchtime at Domino High.

Happy Sehrzat got her Bento-Box out and read in her little old family book hieroglyphs.

All Faizan learned from a young age to read the writing of their ancestors.

The classroom was nearly empty beside her, Yugi, who was building a card house and a boy with a basketball.

"Hey Yugi!", called the boy with the basketball out to him.

This in turn made Yugi lose his concentration and his card house fell down.

"Quit playing by yourself.", said Basketball Boy. "And come play basketball with us for a change, will ya?"

"Well, no thanks...The Team I join usually ends up losing...", reminds Yugi bashful.

"That's true."

With that Basketball Boy left and only Yugi and Sehrazat remained in the classroom.

The girl tried to eat and concentrate on her hieroglyphs.

She wouldn't look at the handsome boy and get tongue-tied around him.

Where was Kihana when she needed her?

For away in Spain was the answer.

However, she didn't look, but Sehrazat heard how Yugi talked to himself about how to finally finish something.

A treasure he always carried around with him.

The sunlight hit his treasure and its golden shine made Sehrazat aware of it.

She looked over, gasping shocked.

"You have a Millenium Item with you?!", she shouted.

This suprised Yugi so much that he nearly fall from his chair.

"Huh, what? What are you saying Faizan-Chan?"

Faster than he could look Sehrzat stood at his table, gripping the edge and staring at his treasure.

"I can't believe it! This must be the puzzle!"

"Excuse me Faizan-Chan.", asked Yugi wondering. "Why are you so excited and how do you know it's a puzzle?"

Without a word, Sehrzat took a similar, yet smaller box from her backpack and put it beside his.

"See? I have one too, it's the Millenium Fragment."

Now Yugi was the one who gasped.

Both boxes seemed to be a pair.

"Incredible!"

The blue-haired beauty nods in agreement.

"I never thought I would find another Millenium Item here in Japan! They are originally from Egypt."

Before they could talk more, a tall blond guy took Yugi's box.

Surprised Sehrazat blinked up at this intruder, while Yugi said his name in question.

Jonouchi.

"Yugi, whatcha talking about with the cute new girl? Are you boring her?"

"He didn't bore me!", talked Sehrzat, yet Jonouchi ignored her.

Okay, rude!

Grinning he held Yugi's box up and poor Yugi tried to reach it.

"G-Give that back!", begged Yugi.

"You are really rude.", mumbled Sehrzat, she wasn't courageous enough to say it louder.

Without Kihana she had zero courage.

Jonouchi didn't listen to either of them and threw the box away before he caught it.

"Man, caring so much for a box like this...", grumbled Jonoichi. "You know, Yugi...It's that part of you that...well, it really pisses me off. So I'm gonna have to put you through some trainin' so you can be a man and talk to girls right. How about it? Ya want this box back, right? Then come at me with all you got!"

Sehrazat made a face, while Yugi shouted: "I hate fighting and violence!"

Both Jonouchi and Sehrazat hold their ears.

Damn, Yugi could be loud.

"You may not have got any guts but you sure got a freaking loud voice!", pointed Jonouchi out.

"Anyway, just give me back that box!"

"That's right!", said another boy's voice. He was a brunette with really pointed hair. "Knock it off, Jonouchi!"

"Oh did you say something? Honda-Kun, the first year, who wants to make the school a better place by running for Student Council president but ended up rejected and falling to Janitor Patrol!", sassed Jonouchi.

"It's not Janitor Patrol!", corrected Honda angrily. "It's called the Beautification Patrol!"

"Your voice is friggin' loud, too!"

Then Honda started to talk more, but since Jonouchi and Yugi talked over him, Sehrazat didn't get what was going on.

Too many voices at once.

She only saw how Jonouchi opened the box and proclaimed the inside as boring.

Out of nowhere a tall brunette girl took the box from him and walked over to Yugi.

"Masaki!", said Jonouchi and Honda together.

"Anzu!", said Yugi happy.

Ah, was she his friend?

Jealousy raised its ugly head in Sehrazat.

This Anzu was taller than her and a pretty girl too.

Sehrazat had only bigger breasts.

Anzu scolded Jonouchi for taking Yugi's box and didn't back down as Jonouchi started his spiel about making Yugi a man.

Then another girl appeared, with lilac hair and a yellow bow in her hair, and thought Anzu was scolding her.

"Miho-Chan!", called Honda out to her.

This Miho took a few steps back.

"S-Sorry."

"That wasn't directed to you, Miho.", explained Anzu.

"That sure surprised me!", told Miho. "I wanted to eat lunch, but there's still so many people in line..."

Like horny horndogs Honda and Jonouchi stated they would get her something and off they were.

"Those two are hopeless...", summed Anzu perfectly up.

Miho just followed after them.

Sehrazat looked at how Anzu gave Yugi back his box.

"You're sure something.", praised Yugi with a tiny blush. "One word from you and they were scared off, Anzu."

"Guys like that would just get cocky if I didn't tell them off.", she explained. "You need to stand up for yourself once in a while, Yugi."

Oh...she reminds Sehrazat of Kihana...

That's when Anzu saw the other golden box on Yugi's table.

"Is this your too?"

"No, it's Faizan-San."

Anzu smiled friendly at her and Sehrazat felt bad that she had been jealous of her.

"Both your boxes seem to be a pair, that's cute."

The brunette sat down on the table before Yugi, Yugi back in his seat and Sehrazat in hers, so turned that she could talk with the other two.

"We were talking about them before this blond guy showed up.", told Sehrazat.

"Yeah, Jonouchi has the knack to interrupt everybody."

"Jonouchi-Kun is not really that bad of a guy.", said Yugi shy to the girls.

"It's because you think like that you get picked on.", rebuked Anzu. "By the way, what are your boxes, if you don't mind me asking."

"I wanted this to explain to Yugi-Kun before the blond interrupted us.", began Sehrzat and had the attention of the two others. "These are Millennium Items. Mine is called the Fragment and Yugi the Puzzle. There exist 8 of them and they all come from Egypt."

"Wow.", chorused Anzu and Yugi together.

"Do you know more, Sehrazat-Chan?", asked Anzu.

"I only know that the Fragment and Puzzle are supposed to be connected to each other, but the way it is right now, we can't check."

"What do you mean?"

Yugi answered her: "I'll show you, Anzu, if you promise to keep it a secret."

"Sure. I won't tell anyone, so show me, show me!"

Dramatically Yugi opened the box and the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle were shining in gold.

"Wow! It's pretty!", said Anzu and Sehrazat together.

Anzu picked a piece up.

"I understand now, why it's called the Puzzle, these are all puzzle pieces, right?"

Yugi nodded.

"My family runs a game shop. We've got games from various countries. I found this in the corner of a shelf, covered in dust, and I was allowed to keep it."

Then Yugi told how Sehrazat had been right about the Puzzle coming from Egpyty since it was found in a tomb there.

"Here! See these strange hieroglyphs written on the front? I bet they translate to something along these lines...Whoever solves this ouzzle, shall be granted one wish. Yeah right.", laughed Yugi. "That'd be too good to be true! You must be making fun of me with that look..."

Anzu laughed and promised she wouldn't then asked Yugi what he wished for.

Now he was a bit cheeky and said that this was his secret.

"Erm...if I can say something...", shyle Sehrazat raises her hand.

Her two classmates turned curious to her.

"What is it, Sehrazat-Chan?"

"Erm...the box actually says: Ye who solves me shall gain the power and knowledge of darkness."

For a moment, all was still.

Then...

"You can read hieropglyps?!", yelled Anzu surprised.

"Family Tradition.", Sehrzat shrugged her shoulder and got bashful. "Everyone has to learn how to write and read them."

"That's so cool.", complimented her Yugi, which made Sehrazat only shyer.

"What does your box say, Sehrazat-Chan?", asked Anzu excitedly.

"Erm...It says: Ye who inherited me shall gain the power and knowledge of darkness. Pretty much the same."

Then she put the two boxes besides each other and pointed at the back.

"To you see this, here is another text. Only when you have both boxes you can read it."

The brunette girl formally jumped in her seat.

"Oh, tell us Sehrazat-Chan!"

"Please.", added Yugi.

"Okay, it says: Alone we are nought, together we are one. Thy great pharaoh and thy great queen shall rise again."

Anzu and Yugi let out surprised sounds.

"So these items belonged to a pharaoh and queen.", summed up Anzu.

Sehrazat nodded.

"Yeah, pretty much the same is told in my family. The Fragment has been with us since 3000 years."

"So long, wow, and you kept it safe, that's impressive.", told her Yugi.

"Meh, I actually believe this is all a scam...some stories around the Millenium Items are just too crazy."

Before either Anzu or Yugi could ask what she meant by that Luchtime was over.

Both owners of Millenium Items put them back in their backpacks and Anzu made her way to her seat, as their other classmates came in.

When it was getting interesting, darn it!

(*)

Finally, the school day was over and Sehrazat could walk home.

Well, she would have if she hadn't stopped to watch some buff guys train.

What were they doing in Osiris' name?

And the boss from these buff guys had huge eyebrows.

Wow!

"Faizan-Chan!", called Yugi out to her and came beside her standing. Damn, he was at least five fingers taller than her. Sehrazat was really tiny. "Are you going home?"

"Yes, Muto-Kun, you too?"

"Mmh-Mmh."

Awkward silence falls over them.

"Erm...do you need something Muto-Kun?"

"O-Oh...Please call me Yugi!"

"Then call me Sehrazat or Sehra."

"Alright, Sehrazat-Chan I wanted to thank you for showing me your own treasure and reading the hieroglyphs, it's nice to know that my wish could come true."

Well, how he got that from inheriting dark powers Sehrazat would surely not know today, since Big Bushy Browns came over to them.

"Stop you two...You're Muto Yugi-Kun and Faizan Sehrazat-Chan, right?"

"Yes?", they said together and got a bit shy that they said it together.

"I actually have something I'd like to ask you.", said Bushy Eyebrowns. "Are any of you being bullied by any particular students in your class?"

"I just moved here.", answered Sehrazat confused, while Yugi disagreed with Bushy Browns.

"Now wait. People who are bullied often say that they are fine.", counter Bushy Browns. "I've been looking into the matter. But you two can rest at ease, Yugi-Kun and Sehrazat-Chan. Starting today, I, Ushio, shall take responsibility for you as your bodyguard."

"But we are really okay!", told Sehrzat. "Please we don't need your service. Let's go home, Yugi-Kun."

"R-Right!"

With that both turned towards their homes, not knowing what Ushio already had planned.

"That guy gave me the creeps.", confessed Sehrazat as she walked with Yugi home.

Both lived in the same neighbourhood as they found out.

"Yeah, me too.", agreed Yugi and shuddered.

Together they signed and then looked at each other with little shy smiles.

"Hey Yugi-Kun...shall we walk from now together to school and back?", took Sehrazat all her courage together.

Yugi's brain formally short-circuited.

Did a beautiful girl ask him to walk with her to school?!

"R-Really you want to walk with me?"

"I-I mean we talked a little bit only, but I would love to get to know you..."

"Me too!", shouted Yugi, which made Sehrzat smile pretty and the boy had nearly a heart attack.

"Okay, this is my stop.", told him Sehrazat and pointed at an apartment complex. "I live there."

"A-Alright, I will pick you up then tomorrow."

"Awesome! Till tomorrow Yugi-Kun."

"Bye Sehrazat-Chan."

Waving at each other they turned to their homes.

Not knowing what tomorrow would await them.

[briamichellewrites]

98

Bradley was forced to publicly admit to cheating on Bria. Yes, I was unfaithful to my fiancé. Even though his publicist was making him do it, every word he uttered was sincere. He was one hundred percent remorseful. His interview with 20/20 went viral across the news media. He apologized to her for his inappropriate behavior and for the pain he caused her. The only person he could blame was himself. Bria didn’t watch the interview. She was too busy inquiring about adopting a new kitten.

She found an advertisement for Scottish Fold kittens available for adoption in Manhattan. The listing had a phone number that she called. She answered questions about her experience with kittens. Did she have any cats already? Yes, she had two American Shorthairs that she raised from kittens. They were both five years old. Where did she live? She had a townhouse in the Upper West Side.

Mike listened to the conversation, though all he could hear was her side. She was so excited about adopting a kitten! Instead of being adopted from a shelter, she was adopted from a breeder. She did her homework on how much Scottish Fold kittens cost to adopt and how much they cost to take care of; their medical concerns, what type of food they needed, and whether they got along well with other cats. They were expensive!

Adopting one could cost her upwards of a thousand dollars! They were expensive because they were rare. She was also paying for the cost of breeding and the care of the parents. It was a splurge, but she could more than afford it! She and the woman made a day and time for her to come by her townhouse and do a home inspection.

The woman just wanted to make sure the kitten would be going to a good home. She had no problems with that and she understood completely. When the interview was over, she thanked the woman before ending the call. Mike asked what happened.

“She gave me a short interview about my experience taking care of cats and where I was living. That sort of thing. She’s going to come over next week to meet me and make sure that my house is safe, along with meeting Slash and Mama. I totally understand why she’s doing that. I wouldn’t want to give a kitten to someone who isn’t able to take care of it.”

Neither would he. If Misty had puppies, he would want to make sure they went to good homes. Shiloh didn’t know what they were talking about. She was too focused on giving a bottle to her stuffed bear. It was amazing what toddlers could come up with. She spent all day with her grandparents. They played with her, gave her lunch, and put her down for a nap before they dropped her off. They were surprised to see Bria. Was she back in LA? No, she was just visiting for the week.

Muto joked about keeping Mike in line. She was always doing that. They laughed. Shiloh waved bye-bye to them. They waved back to her. As the front door closed, they heard her announcing loudly she had to go potty. They both laughed. Their granddaughter was adorable! They loved every second they shared with her. She loved playing with her silly grandfather.

They took her to the zoo, the park, and other toddler-friendly activities. They let her explore her imagination by watching her dress up in costumes or watching her play with her dolls or stuffed animals. She treated them like they were her babies. They showed her how to feed, burp, and change their diapers. When they cried, she held them close to her chest and she patted their backs until they stopped crying. She was learning the language quickly, so they had to be careful about what they said.

Muto wanted to teach her the Japanese language and culture. Mike and Brad encouraged that. They wanted her to learn as much as possible. He read her books about little children in Japan and he gave her Japanese toys to play with. She had a Japanese doll that looked like her. It was one of her favorites. She also helped him in the kitchen with making authentic Japanese dishes.

She was unable to use chopsticks because her hands were too small. Instead, she used a big girl fork. Just like her grandmother. Muto felt fortunate to have a granddaughter to whom he could pass on his culture. Just like he had with Mike and Jason. They were proud to be Japanese, though only Jason could speak the language fluently. One day, she would be able to have full conversations in Japanese with her uncle and grandfather.

After going potty, she washed her hands in the sink before going to play. It was almost time for dinner. Bria and Mike went to the living room with her. She needed to take a bath before going to bed since she got dirty playing at the playground. It had rained the day before and the dirt wasn’t fully dried. It got on her skin, her clothes, and in her hair. They didn’t have time to wash her off.

That was fine. It was just a sign she had fun. She got to run around, swing on the swing set, and climb on the equipment. It helped her get her energy out. Muto and Donna joked about her getting a good night’s sleep. She took a nap after lunch but she had so much energy, she needed to burn it off. Mike and Brad also noticed that. They were going to ask her pediatrician about possible ADHD from her birth mother. If she had it, they wanted her to get help for it right away.

Mike asked Bria about her ADHD when she was a toddler. She couldn’t remember being that young. The earliest she could recall was maybe five years old. She had a ton of energy. That was a mild exaggeration. She could not sit still longer than five minutes and she had to fidget. Since she had trouble paying attention, she had trouble with her memory.

“For example, a teacher would tell us to put our jackets away and then sit down for snack time. I would put my jacket away but get distracted by the toys nearby. So, another teacher would have to come over and remind me it’s time to have a snack. Or I would get distracted with playing with my toys when I should be cleaning my room. ADHD takes a lot of patience and reminding.”

“How is it for you now?”

“It’s a lot better. I still have trouble focusing, especially during things I hate to do. Like housework. I have to push myself to do it. My energy levels decreased around the age of eighteen. Medication helps a lot with focus, energy, and impulsivity. As does support. People with ADHD are more likely to be creative. That’s one of the most awesome things about it.”

He didn’t know that. When Brad came home, he would tell him everything she said. While on his laptop, he looked into famous people with ADHD. He found entrepreneurs, singers/songwriters, actors, and even Albert Einstein. They just needed to use different methods to get them through their day. That made him feel better. Both he and Brad would do whatever it took to help their daughter if she received a diagnosis, as would her grandparents.

“Dirty doggie. Dirty doggie!”

After dinner, Mike cleaned Shiloh off in the bathtub with baby wipes. He then filled the bathtub with water, so she could play. It was the best way to settle her down for the night. She had toys that she liked to play with. It was a game of cause and effect.

She learned that dumping a bucket of water on her head made her soaking wet. Uh oh! Mike had to laugh. It just meant he had to make sure her hair was dry before she went to bed. It needed to be washed, anyway. She rubbed her eyes because the warmth of the water made her tired. After washing her hair, he wrapped her in a hooded towel before helping her out. She rested her head on his shoulder. My daddy. He rubbed her back. Yes, he was her daddy.

“We did our best to make sure it didn’t happen, mama... But we’re only human and we make mistakes. I’m really sorry! This wasn’t planned, I swear!”

He starts crying, hugging himself as he shakes. He hated making her upset. 

“I’m sorry Mama!!!”

Happy (late) Mother's Day!! Arck!! Why am I always late to these things?! D'X Ugh! But anyways, here's some Mama Muto with her son Yugi. I wanted to add Atem too so there's a bonus. She loves them both(though ya know, she had to get use to Atem being around too) but who can't love a 3000/5000 year old pharaoh? 8'D Anyways, hope y'all mothers out there had a good one! X3 ❤

She gives him a squeeze and then pulls back, a hand finding its way to brush some of those blonde locks from his face. "I know sweetheart, just..Seeing my baby boy get so big makes Mama feel old."

“But you’re really not that old, and it’s not a bad thing. Doesn’t Grandpa always say ‘you get better with age’?” Of course Yuugi is never embarrassed by the affection. He doesn’t shrug her off like some his age might.

YEAH YEAH YEAH THATS A BIG FUCKIN BOY! And it's very fun that Ghidorah is clearly, actually malicious. The Mama Muto was just nesting, the skull crawlers are just hungry, but this fucker just wants to rip and tear. This is why being Goji's pet is the good option.

Aaaaaand we're back! I'm lucky enough to have good friends that bullied me out of abject wallowing pretty quickly, but I still want to watch my dumb monster movies SO! Godzilla: King of the Monsters!

So immediately they've abandoned the cool intro I love so much, and even though they tried to call back that absolutely gorgeous shot from the first movie, the added color kind of works against it? This one is firmly at the bottom of my ranking for this franchise but it's still fun.

[fictionkinfessions]

i love you mama!! i think of you every day. i made sure to drink lots of milk growing up, just like you wanted me to. i'm much taller now, and i still love games! i'm gonna try to be a game designer like i always talked about! thank you for always looking out for me. i love you so, so much. again. haha! happy mother's day.

-your son, yugi muto <3

Mokuba 100% is immediately "adopted", he is proudly the more outgoing and charming Kaiba sibling and he is going to use that for all its worth, please give him cookies, Mama Muto. OuO

Oh god, Yugi's mom would immediately shove Seto and Atem OUT of her kitchen if they started this nonsense; if you two can't stop with this petty rivalry and/or pay attention to things that involve fire, she's going to be teaching MOKUBA instead and you can just go find something else to eat because somehow you made the rice cooker start smoking. 8|

Yugi is quietly happy they got ejected from the kitchen--just watching that was stressful as hell--but is also trying to remain inconspicuous so he doesn't end up the one having to scrape burnt rice out of the rice cooker.

(Sadly it does not work.)

Some scattered Rivalshipping "properly meeting Yugi's family" headcanons:

--Yugi has 100% not even mentioned in passing to his mother that he is into guys, but she has picked up on it, either because (A) she's mistaken his bond with Jounouchi for something else or (B) Yugi had a passing thing with Otogi and the walls ain't that thick, son.

--So whenever it's formally A Thing with Kaiba, Yugi fully expects this to be A Big Thing(tm) and his mom just absolutely takes the wind out of Yugi's sails saying one of the two above options (or possibly both).

--Seto is VERY OFFENDED that Jounouchi was even an option, why does your taste in men suck, Yugi. D|

--(Yugi points out his taste in men includes YOU, Kaiba; Seto is like "yes, and?" because he knows he's a goddamn mess; you and him are going to be goddamn messes TOGETHER, Yugi.)

--Sugoroku is surprisingly chill about the whole thing ("Yugi's not the first bi Muto and probably won't be the last, ho ho ho!") ,but is absolutely planning to troll the ever-loving fuck out of Kaiba for as long as Kaiba's in a relationship with his grandson. Mutos never forget, sonny boy~ OuO

--Seto is trying VERY HARD to not be an asshole back in response to the trolling; he is aware he kind of deserves it but dammit, being the bigger man doesn't suit him at all. 8|

--It somehow all sails over Yugi's head, but Yugi's mom is very tired, please stop with the senile act, Sugoroku.

--Seto. Yugi's mom. "You Are Going To Be A Proper Spouse And Learn How To Take Care Of My Baby Boy" home ec.-style lessons. Yugi's mom may or may not quickly give up on trying to teach this man how to cook; sorry, Yugi, you're on your own there.

--I would say "Seto doesn't have the heart to say he can HIRE people to do this," but we all know this isn't true. He has said it repeatedly and Yugi's mom does not care, what if every servant gets sick or quits, you have to know, being a boy doesn't make a difference here. 8|b

--He still goes along with this; his head was crammed so full of Business/Engineering/WINWINWIN as a kiddo by shitty adoptive father that he kind of wants to learn because no one taught him this shit???? He is only OK at best in the end, but it's better than Comedically Clueless, so it's a win?

AU? Idea? Possible future? Canon? Idk...

The only thing I do know is Joey Wheeler is a fantastic cook and eventually opens his own restaurant that combines both of what he loves; Dueling and cooking.

He is surprisingly a really good cook, which surprises a lot of people (except Serenity, cause she’s his official taste tester). And when he opens up his business, he has basically and “dinner and a show” type theme going on, where the show is a Duel Monsters duel.

And if someone cannot afford a meal, he has it where they duel for their meal, and regardless if they win or lose, they still get fed as long as they duel honestly.

He has a partnership with Yugi and Grandpa Muto for card packs, so those without a deck can build one and keep. The Muto’s are VIP and have a private booth close to the kitchens so they don’t get hounded by fans and challengers, and also get to eat for free.

Joey even has a number of Duel Monsters themed menu items. And Mokuba stops in a lot to try the desserts, and takes some back to Kaiba.

Kaiba is completely mortified when he finds out his favorite Blue Eyes sundae is made by that 3rd rate Duelist Wheeler.
