I need a Mel time/dimension travel fic stat. Idk how that'll work, what with Jayce and Viktor's fuckass shenanigans, but I need it. Maybe Ekko could even tag along for the ride.

Trixie Tang was so peak. Asshole rich kid with a hidden sweet and vulnerable side. Crossdresses to buy edgelord comics. Strongly prefers the lead guy as a cute girl. Love-starved yandere. They had the whole world right there. They had me scrolling through google images fan art on the family desktop. They had me halfway to Veronica. But they knew what they had was too powerful, and their agenda was not aligned. So she had to be wasted.

TLDR: Duke is smart boi, Mastershipping good.

Been thinking about Duke's arc in the anime, and here's the thing.

He was "in talks" with Pegasus about DDM, but it wasn't greenlit yet, yeah? It didn't get finalized and Pegasus just stops responding to his emails, hence the whole going-after-Yugi thing blah blah blah.

(Side-note about how clever and diabolical Duke is to go after Yugi via his good friend Joey; damn Duke, you make a good antagonist, I'd love and fear the version of you that goes full villain.)

But despite Duke not having the green light or official production yet, he's still got the DDM dice; probably a sample batch from manufacturers, okay, I can believe that they made a 100-bag batch or something as an early order. But he ALSO has a duel arena fitted out to be adapted for DDM specifically, and this can only exist a couple of ways.

Industrial Illusions commissioned the custom DDM arena from KC as an early model and it was delivered to Duke. (I think this is unlikely since, again, no final say from Pegasus yet.)

Duke bought a Duel Arena from KaibaCorp, studied it, took it apart, and made his own adjustments to convert it into a DDM arena, which means studying Kaiba's tech, redesigning portions of it, reprogramming some of the software, creating schematics and custom parts and reassembling everything for the final version.

Option 2, but Duke paid someone to do it. (This is unlikely to me because of how deeply personal this game is to him and how deeply involved he is.)

Option 2 is much more likely to me, and this is why in my Rock Bottom AU, I have Duke set up as a technical hardware genius. (In that AU specifically, Duke handles hardware and Seto handles software, and they're the perfect nerd team.) I do think he is a genius on some level. He's not on Kaiba's level, but I think he's highly intelligent and doesn't generally get enough credit for it.

What probably happens later on, after Pegasus gives the green light, is that Industrial Illusions formally contracts KC to design and produce DDM arenas, and maybe Duke tries to insist that he already did the design part, but KC won't produce a design that's not theirs, so they make their own.

I imagine that when Duke and Kaiba get together later, Kaiba just casually mentions that he knows about Duke's original bootlegged DDM arena, and Duke is like, "Yeah, I'm aware that I voided the warranty, and no, I'm not going to apologize for it." And Kaiba's intellectual curiosity gets the better of him, so he's just like, "Even though I know the official KC version of the DDM arena is superior, I wanted to know how you made the original adjustments," and then Duke gets to show off his own handiwork on his bf's tech, and Kaiba has someone that's not an employee that he can talk to about the intricacies of his inventions for maybe the first time ever? And it makes him happy in a way that he doesn't understand, but these inventor boys have each other to talk to now about this stuff, and it's so fulfilling for them.

When Duke eventually moves in with Kaiba, he gets his own workshop/office for all the creative and technical work he does for DDM, and Kaiba makes a point of stopping by every once in a while to see what he's working on and "no, I don't need your advice, I can do it myself" only needs to be said to him a few times in order for him to learn to withhold his opinions until Duke asks for them.

In the context of Mumbleshipping, I imagine that any time Duke or Kaiba talk about their inventions in any detailed way to Ryou, his eyes glaze over pretty fast, and bless him he's trying, but he doesn't have a brain for engineering or hard sciences, so this all goes in one ear and out the other.

If you had to assign the Doctors a Sanrio character, which would it be? and for who? based on vibes? design? color scheme? personal bias? deeply thought of symbolism?

Help 5-Year-Old Mariam and Her Family Escape the Horrors of War in Gaza 🍉🕊

Five-year-old Mariam,🕊with her bright pink backpack and tiny hands clutching a red rose, was ready to head to her KG2 class. It was a Saturday morning, October 7, and Mariam was filled with excitement and pride for reaching the next stage of her education. She wanted to surprise her kind teacher with that little rose. But in an instant, her world — our world — was torn apart.

Without warning, the skies filled with the sounds of explosions. The joyful morning turned into a nightmare of dust, fear, and destruction. Her preschool was shattered, her teacher’s life taken, and our neighborhood became a place of ruin. That single day marked the beginning of a relentless assault on Gaza — a place where childhood dreams, laughter, and innocence were erased in moments.

I am Khaled Ismail Mariam's father.

, a 41-year-old father, and my wife Rasha is 32. We live in Gaza with our three children. Our youngest, beautiful Mariam🕊, is just five years old. Our eldest, Walid, 12, is a boy full of dreams, always hoping to become an inventor. And in the middle, there’s Karim, our 10-year-old, whose laughter and jokes used to brighten our darkest days.

But the war has left scars that words cannot heal. The day of the first airstrike changed everything. Rubble covered their toys, and black dust filled the air. The sound of my children’s cries mixed with the chaos of families running for their lives. We left our home that day, desperately searching for safety. But every step, every shelter, brought only more destruction.

For a year now, we have been displaced, moving from one place to another, only to be met with more violence. Today, our home is nothing more than a frail tent. It offers no shelter from the burning heat of summer or the biting cold of winter. My children’s small bodies are battered by this reality — malnutrition, intestinal infections, heat stroke, and even hepatitis are constant threats.

I have nothing left to change our situation. My children have lost everything. I have lost everything. Their childhood is buried under the rubble, their dreams replaced by survival, and their once-joyful laughter now a faint memory.

I am humbly reaching out to you with a plea to help us escape this endless nightmare. Our dream is simple: to find safety, to give our children a chance at life, to give Mariam and her brothers a future. With every dollar, you offer a glimmer of hope, a step closer to a place where they can finally be children again.

Please, be the reason my family finds peace. Your support, even just one dollar, can make all the difference. Together, we can turn this story of despair into one of hope and resilience. Start today, and be a part of the miracle we need.

Help Mariam🕊. Help my family. Let us find a place to live with dignity and hope. Thank you for reading, and thank you for caring.

Look at my boy

[donald-duck-the-best-duck-rp]

@louie-duck-quack-pack-rp and @daisy-duck-rp May the Fourth be with you!

Donald Duck and his family with their Star Wars friends - Tribute to Star Wars - May the Fourth be with you - May the Force be with you. - Cosplay and crossover - My style - Duck comics and Darkwing Duck - Duckverse

May the Fourth be with you! Or happy Star Wars Day which is celebrated on May 4th every year. Although I'm late, I certainly didn't neglect this, and I love these franchises especially the first six parts of the Star Wars films, so I drew my favorite characters in Star Wars roles using a combination of the films, as well as the comics. Although Star Wars was first shown on May 25th, 1977 by George Lucas who invented it, so it makes more sense to me that it's Star Wars Day instead of May 4th, but that's how it turned out. Of course, it's not the first time I've drawn Star Wars, so check out this old drawing of mine that I drew as a redraw of Andrea Freccero Mickey and friends in Star Wars roles: https://ducktoonsfanart.tumblr.com/post/734561196928270336/happy-95th-birthday-to-mickey-and-minnie-mouse

I also have some ideas for Mickey Mouse and his Mouseverse related to Star Wars, but since I focus more on ducks, I still drew something related to Donald Duck and his Duckverse in Star Wars roles. I found the idea for this in European comics and a series called "The Force of Three" in which Donald's nephews go to the Star Wars universe and fight the forces of evil with laser swords. They are like Jedi padawans. They are helped by Master Yoda as a duck who is their teacher. Of course, there is also their uncle Donald who often gets hurt, but he is also with his nephews. Otherwise, these issues came out from 2014 to 2015 and were written mainly by writer Gorm Transgaard, and drawn by Miguel Fernández Martinez, Francisco Rodriguez Peinado and Fernando Güell. I was inspired to draw Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck as little Jedi padawans, and I also drew Master Yoda the duck and the droid R2-D2. In addition to them, I added Gosalyn Mallard from Darkwing Duck (Drake's daughter) who is also a Jedi padawan because she also likes scifi things and helps Donald's nephews in the fight against the forces of evil. There is also Donald Duck as Luke Skywalker, Daisy Duck as his wife (although it is questionable whether Luke ever had a wife and children except in some comics and a few books), Della Duck as Princess Leia (Donald's sister), Drake Mallard from Darkwing Duck as Han Solo (I don't ship Drake and Della together, but Drake as Han Solo is a good combination considering their shared personalities), Gyro Gearloose as C-3PO (the golden robot) and Little Helper as the droid R2-D2. I mostly used the classic style from the comics and the original Darkwing Duck, but in my own way. I wanted to add more characters, but I'll do that next time. I definitely plan on drawing and bringing my Star Wars ideas to the Duckverse.

I hope you like this drawing and this idea and feel free to like and reblog this (especially reblog) if you like this, just don't copy my same ideas and versions without mentioning me. Thanks! By the way, for Gyro and Little Helper (and Della) I borrowed the design from @rednevalbones, the genius who drew them in Star Wars last year. I hope you don't mind me using them in my own way. Once again, I wish you a happy Star Wars day! May the Fourth be with you!
