rereading yugioh while outlining a transfem atem au and just realized that bakura is not an egyptian name. so like. did thief king just steal bakura's name for himself. is the thief king also nameless. what the fuck is going on with bakura??? i humbly ask you this because the wiki is making me want to tear my hair out and you are the person i trust most will all yugioh takes forever

anyway fistbump to you fellow gravekeeper player. we stan anti-meta and giggling when the graveyard is locked down amen

The general consensus is that KT indeed intended his name to actually be Bakura and it's a coincidence. There's a couple posts floating around which transcribe it into hieroglyphs to get some pretty on-point meanings. The alternative option would be to suggest that TKB's name was lost and Atem's memories are just shoving in the known placeholder, but I don't know there's a ton of evidence for that. I think his name is just Bakura.

It's worth noting that Karim and Mahad aren't ancient Egyptian names either, as far as I know they're both Arabic-derived names about 2000 years before the Arab conquest of Egypt. And if it wasn't planned, KT just got really lucky with Set(o). From what I understand based on what Japanese speakers have said, there are several character names in Yugioh that are sort of bizarre and don't make a ton of sense as written names at all (Mokuba primarily, but I've also been told that the way "Ryou" is written is really weird?) so I don't think "KT gave this character a weird or ahistorical name" is necessarily a reason to believe that name is inaccurate.

So. Yeah his name is probably Bakura and yeah that's weird but when it comes to naming characters KT just followed his heart. Also ty I have been playing this evil stall/mill deck for a while but I should go back to gravekeepers for a bit just for fun again

Rand doesn't believe Elaida's letter but he apparently believes Alviarin's. That letter is more cordial and "fawning". This seems inconsistent with his behavior from his own POV so I am confused.

Cause he doesn't trust Aes Sedai especially after Alanna so it wouldn't make sense for him to believe Alviarin or think he has friends in the Tower who would support him.

This could be an intentional political play on his part though to see what they'll do, but Rand also reads differently from other people's perspectives.

we love angsty fics but also we love love fics where stan is just like. being nice to ford

little details like him ruffling his brother’s hair, pulling up his bed covers so he’s all tucked in, going out of his way to catch a little critter cause he knows ford would love to study it

normally they eat whatever fish he catches, but there’s some that he always releases because he knows ford likes them. at the same time, there’s some he always makes sure to prepare first because, again, he knows ford likes them

he buys little trinkets from stores because he could tell they caught ford’s eye. he commits to remembering all the brands of jelly beans his brother does and doesn’t like so he always picks up the best kind for him

he hasn’t collected sea glass or sea shells or built sandcastles or messed around in the tide in so long but ford wants to so dammit he’s gonna have the TIME OF HIS LIFE

we love the stans, both the characters and our headmates, and it makes our brain happy to read stuff like that

[Wesker is overall a pretty decent driver, but he is also really intimidating to share a vehicle with. If you are not going to buckle your seatbelt or you sass him in any way you're going to end up begging to be back on stationary ground again because he can- and will, make you pay for it. He takes really sharp turns, he won't warn you at all if he suddenly needs to hit the breaks, he will silently stare straight ahead and outright ignore you if you've pissed him off and try to chit-chat with him: overall he can make such an everyday experience so unpleasant just by being subtly mean spirited.

He will never drive in a way that's reckless or puts him in danger as well because his pride won't allow him to do anything that would make him a "bad" driver but god help you he will walk that line so finely.

He's hella passive aggressive about anyone touching stuff inside his car too - don't change the radio unless you want him to promptly turn it off and force you to endure awkward silence as a punishment.]
