GET TO KNOW THE MUN.

respond to the prompts out of character!

what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have? Obviously, I'm heavily influenced by a set list of characters I personally love, which means I come up with a take/portrayal as I delve deeper into the lore. I tend to have a preference for side characters, rather than protags or lore heavy ones, bc of the freedom I get... BUT at the same time I've had numerous muses that carry a lot of weight in their respective franchises (see: Seto Kaiba, Captain Rex, rival Barry, Richter Belmont and Sea Dragon Kanon just to name a few).

I mainly write as canon characters, I genuinely have little to no interest in making or RPing as an OC. At most, I have 1 OC in two out of the RPCs I'm currently part of. Which explains this huge disparity.

is there anything you don’t like to write? My hard nos are Incest, Adult/minor types of relationships. Bodily fluids/toilet stuff and fetish focused RPs. One-liners and really short replies aren't fun for me, sure, they can be fun for crack/joke interactions. But they won't last long. I really love working and expanding on the source material, so RPs for me really need to have that good plotting to back it up. While I'm totally open for exploring darker/taboo subjects (e.g.: adultery, toxic relationships, etc.), they MUST carry weight on the characters and be handled accordingly.

is there anything you really enjoy writing? GIMME ALL THE WEIRD COMBOS TO INTERACT WITH!!! Characters that never met or barely interacted with one another in canon but, they can interact in our RPs!!! My jam is doing worldbuilding and expanding on the source material!!! I also enjoy writing comedy, fluff, romance, slice-of-life, over-arching stories that connect/get refferenced in other threads.

how do you come up with headcanons? I look for plotholes or anything that was barely touched upon, in the source material, and I go off from it. I try establishing connections or make them clearer, to serve as future reference for me and my RP partners. I also love taking influence from other medias I'm into.

do you write in silence or do you play music? I used to be able to multitask a lot easier in the past. Now, I mainly prefer writing in silence. Only in very rare cases, I may play some kind of lo-fi beat or lounge music.

do you plan your replies or wing them? It depends on the thread in specific! Most of them have been plotted out, so I go off what we have laid out. Only in a few cases I try to wing it.

do you enjoy shipping? YES YES. GIMME. However, due to some bad experiences in the past, I'm really picky with platonic and familial stuff (popular fanons my beloathed).

what’s your alias/name? Vani

age?  27

birthday? 19th of July

favorite color?  Purple, blue, white, red-

favorite song?  Tô de pé - Maneva

last movie you watched?  I genuinely can't remember it LOL. It must have been Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary.

Work had been pretty alright tonight, all things considered...until about half-way through Joey's shift. He was working the bar tonight, which he honestly preferred. Less chance of getting food thrown at him by rude customers or being pulled into some random VIPs lap. But of course things could never just stay alright, there always had to be something to ruin the mood.

Said thing was Joey spotting Malik of all people. What the fuck was he doing here? What happened to being in Egypt? The blonde ducked behind the counter, trying to figure out what to do. He looked to his coworker, who'd just come down from the VIP floor to grab some bitters they'd apparently run out of.

"Hey, trade me bars, just for a little bit."

The woman blinked at him as if he were stupid," And miss out on the tips I've been getting? No way."

"Please?" Joey insisted," There's someone I know down here."

"Tough shit," the woman glared," We all run into someone we know eventually, quit hiding like a child and get over it." She walked off before Joey could even reply.

"Bitch," he grumbled, now what the fuck was he supposed to do? His work uniform made him look like a total skank, he couldn't be seen like this.

The commercial area Atem wandered through wasn’t the greatest as far as safety went. Not to say Domino wasn’t safe. It mostly was a place to live. There were a couple of would be gangs that cropped up around this area but they mostly bothered each other. Not that Atem was worried. The last time anyone tried to bother him, well...He was cleaning up bodies and blood most of the night thanks to Malice. To say that he had a reputation now, would be a slight understatement.  All of the big scary men moved inside quickly as Atem walked past the hole in the wall bars and izikayas. To anyone watching it must have looked ridiculous. Atem may have been granted his own body, but he was only a couple inches taller than Yugi. The fact that men three times his size were all but running for him...well it made him snicker a little if he was being honest.  He turned down and even darker road. This was where the warehouse district began, heading towards the docks. Atem was extremely familiar with this area now. He had been walking it for months. He had clearly become complacent because he wasn’t paying any attention to where he was going or where he was. He stopped when he realized he actually had managed to walk into a part of town he didn’t know.  He pulled out his phone only to find it dead. “Shit.” He muttered.

The Kaiba estate, an entire reality dettached from the rest of the world and, Domino city’s unintentional landscape. A place that attracted visitors from all over Japan, to have a look at it and in hopes of catching of glimpse of the CEO’s private life.

“For someone who claimed to have such important news to share with me, you sure have taken awhile to get here.” Kaiba exclaimed to his guest the moment he caught glimpse of the man, who was being accompanied by one of his butlers. The tone in voice was one of mockery, it was as if he had just disregarded the size of his property in order to make this jab at the other.

For the past few weeks, almost a month by now. He and Malik have been in constant contact with each other, as expected the CEO followed through with his part of their settlement. He handed over the funds and the requested information, however the Ishtar had many other plans in stored to him. As such, he was kept informed and updated on his progress, much to his dismay and lack of real interest.

Kaiba would be found sitting at a lonely table in the middle of a lovely garden, which was hidden away from the public eye. The man was working on some paperwork, scribbling on some sheets all while a maid poured some tea for him and she set another teacup for his guest. By the time he approached them, the brunette had put aside his work and handed it over to the woman so she could take her leave.

“Anyhow, welcome. Have a seat and start talking, Malik.”

munday asks!!!  [Accepting]

1. at what age did you start RPing?

// I belive I was around 19 years old, when I started RPing on Tumblr. But in truth, I’ve been RPing as early as I’ve become an avid internet user. So I’d say... Since I was 13 years old, way back on Deviantart.

8. did you have a muse you tried to play, but didn’t feel connected to?

// Oh boy, there have been a handful of muses where that happened. For a short period of time, I rped as Hanzo Shi.mada from Overwatch. Even though I hadn’t played the game, it was around the time the game had just released and there was a lot of crossover happening with the RPC I was in at the time. So I kinda of hopped onto the hype bandwagon, and as a result my muse for him didn’t last much. I like experiencing a serie/game/etc, before I pick up a muse for RPing. Otherwise, I’m left feeling like I’m missing in many things.

As a prime example, another muse I had that also died out rather quickly was Kahili from Pokemon. I’m well familiarized with pokemon as a whole, but I haven’t played/tried her games in specific. And yet again, I was left with the same sensation of ‘I’m missing out on stuff’.

17. what was your first muse?

// It was a fan-made child OC for a ship I really enjoyed at the time, in League of Legends! At the time I exclusively RPed as OCs on Deviantart, and I thought he would translate well into the tumblr RPing scene. I was very wrong, I had a lot to learn but I was still capable of having a great time with it!

@mxlik​ -- Plotted starter

So this is exactly what he has been missing out on, this whole time. The wonders of recovering his memories, finally he is capable of witnessing what he was truly capable of in life. It is such a shame, it took him this long to be able to unlock his true potential.

And he could be further exploring this, on his own in his promised afterlife. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be. It has been months since that incident, the memory of it is still so fresh in his mind. It got his blood boiling from remembering of it, it was all so fresh in his mind.

This is why he decided to venture out into the city on his own, late into the night. And put into use, the dormant magic that was found within him on anyone that dared to cross his path. The last thing the boy expected to come across in this stroll was, a familiar face.

It was only after he was done shattering the mind of a fool, who dared to pick a fight with him in the alleyway that he noticed his presence. He spotted him from the corner of his eyes, and quickly turned around to face him.

At first he remained in silence, a handful of questions formed in his mind while he greeted the youngest Ishtar with a nod of his head. “It’s been awhile...” Atem broke his silence in a calm tone, as he stared at the other who stood not too far from him.

[industrialpegasus]

@mxlik liked for a starter! 

Pegasus had hoped to get out of the drama. The kidnapping, the near-end-of-the-world stuff involving the gods and Leviathan for some reason, and ugh.

He was tired.

And yet, he could not rest. There were threats of him being potentially kidnapped for who-knows-what reason, and Maximillion Pegasus was absolutely tired of this.

“It’s obscene and stupid.” He muttered to himself, while poring over the reports and notes about. “I swear, if it’s another end-of-the-world stunt, I might lose it and take a sabbatical...”

Ah, yes. A nicely, lovely sabbatical might do him some good. Maybe he could just stay on Duelist Kingdom for a while, at his lovely private island rather than running Industrial Illusions in person at the designated offices. That would be nice. Besides, at least his island was well-guarded.

Not like this office, unfortunately for him...

And he didn’t realize that someone would be on their way to get him—right now.

[trafalgar-bleedingheart-law]

❝ Did you miss me? ❞

"As much as I'd miss having a root canal."

The response was teasing of course. He always missed Malik when he went off somewhere. The smile this time however was a little cautious. Last they spoke Malik hadn't seemed himself. Obsessing over a long dead King and revenge. It was a little frightening to watch. Law had tried to say something but it turned some of the anger on him instead. Not long after his friend had stormed off to some duelist thing. Seems like he had recently gotten back.

The first thing Law noticed was the lack of that cursed item he had always carried. Good riddance. That thing never gave off good vibes and Malik had been obsessed with it. The second was that his friend seemed tired. Law leaned forward, putting his elbows on his work desk and his chin on his open palms.

"How are you feeling? You're looking better then when you left ..."

[ironbloodcd]

@mxlik continued from here~

     Rolling onto his side, Yugi watched his phone screen quietly, knowing that most would be asleep by now. He’d give it a few minutes and, is Malik didn’t respond by then, the king of games would assume that the Egyptian was resting, as he should have been. Truthfully, he hadn’t really been expecting a reply.

     So when one came pretty quickly, Yugi blinked at the messages that seemed almost concerned about him before relief settled over him a moment later. A response was written out, the soft tapping against his phone screen being the only thing to break the heavy silence that surrounded him. Hopefully, Malik wouldn’t be further bothered by his messages.

>> Nothing’s wrong

     That wasn’t entirely true, a fact that he realized only after having sent the text. While the duelist wasn’t in any danger, that wasn’t to say that he wasn’t having a hard time. He wondered if he would ever truly get used to being the only soul in his body, to not having Atem’s presence by his side, regardless of the time of day.

     He was starting to suspect that the answer was no.

>> I just can’t sleep. It’s too quiet. >> I’m not used to being by myself anymore, I guess

     Was he being too honest? The thought had his face warming, knowing that he had the habit of oversharing at times. It was too late to take the message back now though, so Yugi simply typed another, ignoring the nagging in the back of his head.

>> I didn’t wake you up, did I?

@mxlik​​ asked: ❛ I never said I was a good man, but one can receive good advice from a bad person.❜

“I never asked for your advice.”  Bakura replied with a roll of his eyes.  “Save your breath for those who inquire it-- I’ve figured things out on my own for thousands of years, and this time will be no different.”  Stubbornness permeated through Bakura-- a parasite that had fully integrated into it’s host’s personality, right to the core.

@mxlik​ has sent: 🛑 x2 for Ishizu and whoever else you want to talk about.

Send 🛑 and I will explain a way in which my muse is different from their canon counterpart. [Accepting, SPECIFY MUSE]

The canon only hands us the fact that Ishizu, was complicit in the things that happened to Malik. I guess that is why the fandom seems to love to villainize Ishizu, but nobody seems to stop & think about a few very important details. The kind of upbringing Ishizu was subjected to, she is meant to be passive and simply take for a granted the things that came from her father. Also, mr. Ishtar, have people forgotten about him-- hello.

The canon also wants us to believe they had access to DM cards, since very early in their lives huh? Yeah, we uh... We just pretend that didn’t happen. And that somehow, Malik (or y!Malik) knew about her strategy by some other means. They could have dueled at some point, or they kept tabs on her during the tournament. Anything is better than... Cards... In the...

Apparently, Critias was a dragon in the duel spirits world all along. I kinda of came up with the idea of him being a human, who fused with the soul of a dragon then, he became the Critias we see in the show. I just wanted an excuse to explore and expand on Atlantis.

This isn’t exactly a difference in terms of canon story. Rather, this has to do with Rafael’s appearance. In the show he is meant to be the tallest one out of the Doma trio, but the difference isn’t that absurd... I decided to go extra with his height. I just love the the image of this man, being more than capable of shattering to pieces Atem’s skull if he ever got the chance, to lay his hands on him.

@mxlik​ said: 🎈 or [BALLOON] for the sender to throw a water balloon at the recipient summer prompts

       The softened hues of the beach upon the rising gold sand only match the sunshine filled sky. The warm breeze carries the sounds of the seagulls and the muffled voices of people that walk by. Under an umbrella is Atem with a drink in hand, the colors of yellow and orange flow in a gorgeous ombre inside the glass with glistening ice and a cherry on top. He takes a sip from the straw, his focus is on some random fashion magazine he’d gotten his hands on by some people that were handing them out. The least he expects next is to be assaulted by a water balloon, getting both his hair and his shades soaked wet.

      Atem puts aside the glass with the drink and lowers his shades first before squinting and then completely taking them off. Alright, that isn’t so bad. It’s actually refreshing. He’d been meaning to get in the water at some point anyway. But who could—

      Of course.

      His gaze shifts to the side where he could see Malik from his peripheral vision. The Pharaoh nonchalantly picks up a tie that’s been hanging around the neck of a water bottle next to him. He ties his hair up and gets up from his spot, droplets of water trickle down sun-kissed skin.

      “Do I take this as a challenge? Well, I am already up from my spot so there’s no going back. Prepare yourself.”

@mxlik​ has sent: For Set; He’d basically moved himself in so it was only a matter of time before he’d bump into him and when he did, boy did it startle him. He knew Kaiba didn’t have a twin but their faces were so.. “ It’s like Kaiba levelled up. ”

“It’s quite uncanny, isn’t it?”

The priest responded to the stranger, as he looked away from the book in his hands. The man in front of him wasn’t a real stranger to him, thanks to his vessel’s memories which came flooding his mind the moment his eyes laid upon him.

In fact, there seemed to be a lot going on between this figure and Kaiba, however. Their feud and affair wasn’t of Set’s interest, not even one bit. Rather something completely unrelated to it, caused him have another look at Malik.

“............ A tomb keeper? You? You’re a... Tomb keeper?” He uttered out while being just as confused and startled as, the mansion’s new inhabitant. His once calm demeanor had been replaced by a shocked one, as he put away the book.

There were too many memories and thoughts running through his mind in that moment. The Battle city tournament, the millennium rod... It was nearly impossible for Set to keep up with those things.

Eventually he broke his silence by letting out a pained groan, as he got up from his seat and took a few steps away from Malik. His hands ran through his long brunette hairlocks, and they pinched the birdge of his nose.

That couldn’t possibly be a good thing.

4. On your fandom.

// You know what? Looking back on how I approached YGO... It’s no wonder I felt completely burned out from it, after one year of getting into it. The fact I’m avoiding and not engaging with any form of discourse, it is contributing to my stay in the SW fandom! Which is something I wasn’t expecting, in a first instance (I was quite intimidated by this community NGL).

It just goes to show how unnecessary drama/discourse, can ruin one’s experience in a place that is supposed to be about fun and distractions. I’m here to enjoy the show, celebrate the characters and run into folks who share my interests. As such, I’ve found many welcoming folks around here! I’m genuinely having a good time here. And that’s the most important thing, for any fandom.

12. On your own writing.

// I’m always very self-conscious about my writing, due to not being native in English. I’m always concerned people won’t understand me, and vice versa due to my grasp on the language. I know I’ve received over the years, a huge amount of support and so many kind words, praising my writing. And I’m always thankful for them, but it’s a feeling I can never truly shake off.

Especially not after having so many instances, of people taking full advantage of that fact, and try to twist the things I said. Just because ‘oh but this is what I understood out of what u said uwu’. These situations are the worst for me, because as a non-native speaker, you’re more inclined to believe those who naturally speak the language. And unfortunately, I got burned by that thought process, one too many times.

Sometimes, there are people out there who don’t want to help you fix a grammatical/voccabulary mistake. They just want you to say what they think is the right thing to say, and that’s what we call pushing an agenda/propaganda/narrative down our throats. That’s toxic, that’s wrong, that’s dangerous. Drop that shit, and stop taking advantage of our genuine English mistakes.

19. On icon/gif/image use.

// I agree, it’s very silly the fact that the RPC seems to prioritize the visual aspects, in a hobby that’s all about writing. I’m sure that if I didn’t have half of the graphics I do today, I doubt I’d have people looking at my blog. But that’s the state of a good chunk of the RPC, which doesn’t represent it at all.

I personally don’t care about the graphics, that’s not a deciding factor on whether or not I’ll follow someone. My only real problem is when people use fanarts, for their edits. I’m glad that nowadays, we’re abandoning that in favor of FC alternatives and the fact that there are many icon resource blogs. Because back in 2016-2017, the art theft was rampant. So much so, I even partook in it. Simply because, I assumed it was alright because, everyone around me did it. I’m not proud of what I did, but I’m glad I got over that, and abandoned the use of others’ fanarts.

Now I have an even bigger problem, when people HEAVILY edit the original fanart. Fuck whoever does that, those people have zero respect for content creators. I doubt that whoever took it had the artist’s blessinjg to use, in the first place. And I'm sure that any artist wouldn’t be happy to find their work, edited to such an extent, it barely resembles the final piece they posted in their social medias. All because ‘uwu I want it to fit my muse’s looks uwu’. And the audacity, they have to pull the ‘don’t steal my edits plzzzz’. Bitch ur entire “edit” is just stolen artwork, u don’t own the “base” you’re using.
