Seto Kaiba affection headcanons

Seto is not really a touchy person

not much of a cuddler either

BUT... LOVES hand holding and hugs

he won't let go of your hand

I mean it. When you are next to each other HE WILL HOLD YOUR HAND

No matter if you are walking through Domino City or you are in a business meeting

If someone judges you two for it he will DESTROY them

"Are you jealous Wheeler because you can't get a partner? It's not my fault no one loves you"

In meetings, however, he will secretly hold your hand under the table - he can't risk his image after all

your hand is his lifeline

if he's mad, stressed, anxious or generally feeling bad and you are in public he will squeeze your hand really tight

you then will rub soothing circles on the back of his hand, stand just a bit closer to him or make up an excuse to leave the situation completely

Big hugger (I've written Seto Kaiba hugging headcanons so feel free to check them out (x) )

Sucker for forehead kisses

if you cup his face with your hands and gently kiss his forehead under his bangs He. Will. Melt

His love language is definitely quality time

no matter if it’s a friendly duel, playing video games, talking, cooking together or just working in the same room Seto just wants to spend time with you

He will make an effort to incorporate you into his life

making time for you and including you in everything he does as best as possible

he will seek you out during the day, quietly sitting down next to you and continuing doing what he has been doing... just in your presence

if you plan a date he will make time for you no matter what

even if he has to postpone or cancel a meeting

He is the CEO and if he cancels, his employees have to deal with it

will plan dates in his virtual world for you two

spending hours to write just the perfect programme to create the most romantic atmosphere

your first kiss probably happens in the virtual reality too

His kisses are soft and gentle

but he will only kiss you in private, never in front of other people

he won’t be able to say that he loves you for a long time

even if he knows that he does the words just won’t come out of his mouth

he also doesn't really care if you do as long as you show him through your actions

he very much loves you but is terrible at affectionate words

He will make video games for you

if he initiates cuddles he is feeling bad. Like really bad

this means his mind is so loud and the pain is so overwhelming that he needs you to hold him for a long time to keep him sane

when everything is alright your 'cuddling' mostly looks like you two laying in bed together foreheads pressed together while holding hands and sharing occasional kisses

if you are working or studying a lot and are stressed out he will bring you food and your favourite (caffeinated) drink

thinking about chibishipping with a grown up and terribly spoiled mokuba who keeps pushily trying to take yugi out, because hello he's 20 and tall now and recently voted japan's most handsome bachelor whats there not to like?

yugi however is just like "mokuba you're not gonna court me, stop trying" which is the wrong thing to say because mokuba is a kaiba through and through and takes that as a challenge

he proceeds to learn every thing about yugi's tastes and his habits so he can leave him flowers at his desk, a hot coffee and breakfast delivered every morning, every new card he wants for decks before he can even try for them, obscure games from around the globe that he only allows yugi to take if he promises they play together, etc etc, all while flirting so blatantly every time he's nearby

yugi asks seto (who is aroace in this au) if he can forbid them being together but seto just wants his brother to stop bothering him with romance to be happy of course, so he instead says "yugi i do not care, you have my blessing, just go on one date with him who gives a fuck"

so he finally gives in and goes on a date and then is grumpy the whole time because he is having fun and mokuba is charming and he is not supposed to be the type who gets wined and dined by his rivals little brother of all people, and all the while mokuba's just there like :3c "we're totally going on a second date"

[rosalindwrites]

Hi! First time requesting, could you do slightly mature Kiba hcs???

MUCH LOVE ❤️❤️

OKAY so I have put a lot of thought into this, so I hope they are at least halfway decent lol. Not all are really "mature" so to speak, but I'm putting it under the cut just in case :)

Seto Kaiba x Reader Headcanons

100% definitely possessive over you, as he is a real "what's mine is mine" sorta guy

Along with that, though, I wouldn't really take him as a big PDA person. BUT he is the type of person who gets off on making others (men) jealous. So, he'll more likely than not use public displays of affection as a way to show others that you're not for the taking

He likes showing you off, and for sure takes you as his plus one to high-class events and luxurious dinner parties where you can be seen together

If anyone insults you or talks shit? He will immediately shut them down and defend you

Seto LOVES seeing you blush and get flustered, and he very much intentionally tries (and succeeds) to make it happen

I get the vibe that he would really enjoy it when you praise him? Giving his already very inflated ego a good boost lol. He already knows he's great, sure, but he likes to hear you say it

Does not want you to call him "Kaiba" like everybody else does. That's usually reserved for people he doesn't give a shit about. Prefers "Seto", or (ONLY if you are in private where absolutely no other soul could hear) maybe a cute little nickname that he will likely act like he hates, but secretly adores

Seto likes spending his money on you. Enjoys taking you shopping, seeing you try on clothes, and buying you clothes that he would NEVER be okay with you wearing in public *wink wink*

May or may not have a stash of a little more... risque pictures of you he keeps hidden somewhere only he can find. May or may not like to look at them when you've been apart too long

Dating Kaiba headcanons

pairing(s): seto kaiba x gn!reader

warnings: ooc, fluffy kaiba

classic enemies to lovers, kaiba's a man of little words at first but then he falls for you and you see a completely different side of him

he's actually really affectionate when he has the chance

busy with work a lot though

but, on the brightside, abscence does indeed make the heart grow fonder

loves to spoil you with flowers and gifts

the type of guy to prefer silent affection. he'll absentmindedly wrap an arm around you or reach for your hand

big sucker for physical touch, but i feel like he has all the love languages

absolutely loves you being in his arms

absolutely adores teaching you duel monsters, he'll sometimes let you win as long as its an unofficial duel between the two of you

helps you build a super powerful deck

he's super protective over you when it comes to duelling though

after he loses to yu-gi he's a lot more present and abandons a lot of his responsibilities, he doesn't know anything for certain anymore, except his love for you

he's a big softie under the cold exterior

feel like he's a big flirt too

loves when you bond with mokuba, he'll louge back on the seat, watching you teach mokuba how to improve, a small smile on his face as he watches you give his little brother a fake advantage

gives you his clothes

he'll occasionally get really bad nightmares so he'll wake up in a cold sweat and just hug you closer, taking deep breaths as he leans his forehead on your shoulder from behind. i feel like intertwining his fingers with yours really helps him ground himself too

gives you a necklace with a locket charm like he and mokuba have

secret smiles when the two of you are in public

yu-gi catches him smiling fondly at you once and it shocks him, but he smiles to himself, he's really happy for kaiba

takes you out on dates all the time

sometimes he has to go on work trips and he'll call you every night

"hi, y/n. i missed you darling" "seto you've been gone for a few hours" he swoons at your laugh and you can practically hear his heart thumping in his chest and the grin on his face as he chuckles back

loves to make you flustered and also when you make him flustered

he'll sometimes go on rambles about stuff he's passionate about and then gets all flustered when he snaps out of it and sees you intently listening

i feel like he'd get you both matching rings

Mumbleshipping Cuddles

TLDR: Ryou is a cat boyfriend, Duke is a dog boyfriend

Kaiba gives great hugs. He's tall with long limbs and broad shoulders, and Ryou loves the bear hugs. Kaiba's not a huggy person naturally, so Ryou just starts asking for them all the time until he starts giving them out of habit when he sees that look on Ryou's face.

Ryou adores Seto's stupidly long legs, he's just got a thing for them and you can't change my mind on that fact.

{Long post, rest under cut}

To keep his language skills sharp between actually needing them (I don't think I need to explain that Kaiba is multi-lingual, right? international man of business and canonically speaks multiple languages) Kaiba reads books in those foreign languages. These books are purely for language skills and the content isn't what's important, so these are older philosophical works or novels inherited from Gozaburo's library (I'll make a post about my Kaiba library headcanons at some point) so he'll just sit on the couch with his old book (at some point this boy will need reading glasses) and Ryou will literally curl up next to him on the couch and put his head in Kaiba's lap for pets and scritches because at the end of the day, Ryou is a cat boyfriend.

Normally Duke is very disruptive in the ways he asks for physical affection, like climbing on Kaiba's lap while he's working in his home office (but yes he has done that a few times at the KC HQ and Kaiba almost banned him from the office as a result). He will also just plop himself down and lean on him or put a hand on his leg. "Pay attention to me." If Ryou is a cat, situating himself around Kaiba when he feels like it, then Duke is a doggo, barging in when he decides that it's him time.

Sometimes though Duke does take things down a notch. Sometimes Seto is sitting there in the afternoon, sunlight streaming in through the window, Ryou curled up with his head in his lap and dozing off like a warm, happy cat. Seto's got his fingers in Ryou's hair and his book in his other hand. Then he feels something on his leg and looks down, and there's Duke, sitting on the floor and just leaning on him a little. So Kaiba switches hands and reaches down to pet Duke, who just leans right into his touch, and Ryou's half asleep so he might not even notice.

Mokuba walks in like, "I'm so glad we decided to get pets."

And Seto's just like, "Yeah, they certainly shed enough, don't they?"

And the Kaibros immediately get roasted because "you know you adore our hair! Don't deny it!"

TDLR; Why Seigfried Didn’t Work As A Kaiba Expy, He Wasn’t Neurodivergent

Hi everyone! While I’m writing the next chapter and trying to survive Capitalism despite living its real-time collapse (I work two jobs, why chapter production is slow these days), I’d like to make a post like this while it’s still Autism Awareness month. Now, not to say you can’t enjoy the pink haired frilly goofy man. I never have though. I felt like he was a let down after Dartz, who is my favorite villain of Yugioh, I SAID WHAT I SAID. And I’m also saying you can enjoy your villains of Yugioh, and I will enjoy mine. All that out of the way, I would like to dive into an analysis of Seto Kaiba and who I felt were his good expies, Noa/Noah and Alister/Amelda. Anyone who has autism (myself included, I’m not 100% on paper yet but I’ve had multiple doctors agree with me), you know. There’s a Neurodivergence ESP, when you are talking to someone you just Know when someone else just isn’t neurotypical This is based off of their canon, observable in the show behaviors, trying not to lean into anything headcanon unless it slightly grays the area a little. Using dub names but will tag original names later (I just don’t like Amelda as a name...) But first starting with Seto himself, he’s very blunt and impulsive. Which isn’t helped by the fact he’s got a lot of money. So he can act on literally every impulsive thought he has. Man probably filmed that idea to send Duel Monsters cards into space the minute he had it in GX. He’s very egocentric, which a lot of people get confused with his arrogance. Not that he’s not both, but he really genuinely believes that any time his company is under attack, it’s because someone’s trying to take it over. Not that it’s the one sure-fire way to draw him out of hiding, it’s that everyone is out to get him. Always! (as an example, during Season Four his company gets bought out by the villains. He’s convinced this was ALL a ploy to take it over, when really Dartz needs him out in the open because he needs to kill him.) His special interest is Duel Monsters. Literally all his money comes from making electronics and technology specifically for playing his special interest. And he’s richer THAN the person he pays royalties to because Seto doesn’t own Duel Monsters. Pegasus does. All Seto did was invent the technology to play it, and fixing the rules to actually make the game playable (The rules of Battle City were his, after all.) He’s pretty close to being nonverbal, a LOT of Kaiba’s lines are actually thoughts in his head rather than stuff he says out loud, except when he’s delivering snarky comments or talking to Mokuba. He’s got a perpetually weird relationship with the protagonists because he’s not good with social cues or interacting with people in general. Not that he wouldn’t die for them, he’s not good at expressing it though. They’re his friends, but they gotta squint to hear what he’s actually saying. ----- Noah’s is going to be a lot shorter as far as canon behaviors go since we only have a few episodes with him really, and I’d also think of him as having both BPD and autism (which happens co morbidly, around 15% of BPD patients also meet the criteria for having ASD.) (There’s also that they all have some very intense levels of PTSD, but that’s another kettle of horses.) His biggest sign that he’s both is his emotional state of being when we encounter him in his half of Season Three. Not to say that his environment didn’t help him any, but I think it’d just made it more obvious. Both conditions affect mood stability, which cause intense emotions and a grandiose sense of self at the same time. But there’s also a sense of emptiness and a negative impact on self esteem, a diffuse of self (in TVTropes words, he definitely has a Superiority-Inferiority Complex.) Much like Seto, as well, social cues aren’t something he excels in. The idea of anyone being nice to him is confusing, but he really develops one bond (Mokuba), and he convinces himself he needs to die for him and the people he brought into the Digital World. But a few scenes before he steals Mokuba’s body briefly, he can’t comprehend why someone is being nice to him. He thinks he’s being slow and steady with the reveal he’s about to drop on the protagonists of being Gozoboro’s son, but remember that his entire arc is only a few hours of one day in Battle City (when they cut to Yami Marik being like ‘.... Where the hell did everyone go?’), so they’re not really there long before he starts traumadumping and infodumping about his own monsters. He’s so socially deprived that he’s A) going to tell you all what he’s been through because all he wanted was to be loved by someone who couldn’t possibly love him, and B) He’s going to tell you about his niche interest in computer programming to make the world he’s in more interesting, as well as the extremely niche tidbits of information he has about Spirit Monsters and their development in the game of DM. (Remember, the Deck Master system and the rules of their abilities is the stuff he made up. Pegasus still made the Spirit Monsters, don’t let the rules of the Season throw you. They’re using a database of every known card, they’re in a computer, and it doesn’t trip up the rule of Season Four of the Orichalcos. Because it’s being used by one specific cult and no one else. The cards in Noah’s deck, broken effects and all, actually existed in-universe, and given how all of the protagonists had never heard of them until the duel with Noah, despite Solomon owning a Card Shop and there being more in Domino, that means he was into the REALLY obscure cards of the game.) ---- Alister is probably the most neurodivergent of them all, to start he has a very one-track mind ability to hyperfocus. The only thing on his mind ever is getting revenge on Seto Kaiba because he’s the living body still. If Alister COULD kill Gozoboro still, he would. Unquestioningly. He’s got a very strong sense of justice powered by a black-and-white morality way of thinking. He is definitely someone you want in your cult to destroy the world, it takes very little convincing that someone is evil and needs to be destroyed. And he can’t be swayed from his opinions, either. He’s got very intense feelings that are being taken advantage of. He’s got a very declarative memory and trauma dumps with very little prompting. He’s got a comfort item that ties into his traumas, of course. He’s got some odd reactions too and is strangely very naive despite everything (aside from the normal response of ‘Who are you?’, doesn’t seem to question that he’s straight up hallucinating/receiving a mental link directly to Dartz the first time they ever speak. Not a ‘what the hell is going on, what is happening, where did the world go’, ect, ect. Just ‘This person can tell me what happened and who hurt me? Okay.’ ) Alister’s also got issues with social situations, the only friends he has you can count on one hand. And that comes with its own weird rules of That’s Just How They Talk To Each Other. (He does love Raphael and Valon, even saying that he and his ‘new family’ are saving the world.) Also, this one is semi-canon, semi- head canon, hence the disclaimer earlier. He’s got sensory issues and is sensitive to light (he wears sunglasses inside of buildings, and during the nighttime.) And his clothing, at least to me, suggest he gets hot easily but still needs pressure due to an aversion to touch. (His shirt is midriff exposing, but he also has like eight belts and a huge ass trench coat on. And heat intolerance is a littler-known sign of autism) ---- I never got anything that deep out of Seigfried. He really just that butthurt about his company. While my story doesn’t go past Season Four, I know how I’d fix Season Five.

Displays of Affection (Seto Kaiba Head Cannons!)

Okak, so once again here are more head cannons! Because the world needs more food to thought when it comes to Kaiba. Personally, I don’t see much difference between the Japanese and American versions of Kaiba would act once in a fortified relationship. However Manga Kaiba is a different beast and will be talked about later. For now, enjoy this!

Kaiba is not a fan of PDA. The man will never hold your hand in public, nor accept affection in public. 

There will be no kissing in front of Mokuba. You will hug, he might even hold your hand. Kaiba doesn’t want to hear Mokuba tease him nor give the boy ideas on how to handle women when hes older. 

Kaiba will change his work location if possible to be near the person he cares about. Will he stop working, eh, probably not. Will he at least share the same space as them, of course. 

Kaiba shall never proclaim he loves someone in public either. How does Kaiba make it known a person is his? Well, rather than wearing the KC pin, person of his affection’s pin shall be SK, and visible. 

Side note: If the person refuses to wear the pin or forgets Kaiba will have a freak out thinking the relationship is in trouble. It’s almost adorable as he begins the shower of gifts and affection. 

Alone, Kaiba will be right next to the person. Sitting or laying on a bed? Kaiba is right there with his computer. Taking up the couch? Kaiba will glare and wait for space to be made. 

Kaiba adores physical affection, but will never voice it. 

Kaiba is all for cuddling or snuggling. Kaiba will steal kisses unexpectedly and Kaiba will be shockingly gentle. 

Kaiba is almost terrifyingly gentle. First time he nuzzled someone’s hair with his nose the person probably thought death was coming. 

Smiles are extremely rare, however, should someone smile at him with all the love in the world Kaiba will hug them so his blush goes unseen. 

Should said smile happen in public, Kaiba will get angry at anyone else so no one notices the redness is a blush and mistake it for anger. 

The closest anyone ever gets to a pet name is ‘My love’...about ten years into the relationship. 

Idiot or moron is his usual go to for a pet name. Its strange as he says it with affection. 

Kaiba is an extreme cuddler in his sleep. This isn’t because he is being cute, at first, if a person moves on the bed, Kaiba will awaken. Cuddling stops the other party from moving. 

Later Kaiba will use the excuse to cuddle while being awake. 

Forehead kisses are this man’s go to, he believes it shows tenderness over lust. 

Kissing his cheek makes him blush, he never expects it to happen as he has tunnel vision when working or focusing. 

Note: Normal kisses easily get him excited. There are rarely times where a normal kiss doesn’t turn passionate. 

He will, with as much willpower as possible, not insult his love during their duels. It near pains him to do so but he tries. 

Kaiba will compromise on a date night. 

Kaiba’s date nights will consist of completely private venues. Dates are intimate and meant to be affectionate. Besides the cook who is only there for dinner, there is no one else. 

Kaiba can do public dates, but be very reserved and not to thrilled to comply. 

Kaiba shall tolerate one and only one pet name. It is never to be used in public (Personally I would either chose ‘dumbo’ or babe... probably dumbo). 

When stressed, Kaiba will hunt down their partner, pull them away from whatever is going on, end up somewhere away from the world and prompt a embrace with lots of nuzzling. 

Kaiba likes being held, never expect him to admit it. 

Bonus! 

Biting Kaiba’s ear or kissing right below his jaw line makes the man turn redder than a cherry and will caused him to attack with lustful affection that is joined with insults. 

[silvermalkin]

How possessive do you believe Kaiba would be over the person he likes?

Short answer:Pretty dang, but then Kaiba’s chosen S/O wouldn’t allow him to become too possessive.

Long answer: I previously answered a question regarding Kaiba’s jealousy, which is to say his FEAR of losing a s/o to someone else. Possessiveness would be how much he views a s/o as his property that he can control.

Kaiba could be very possessive. If we look to his strong attachments re: the Blue Eyes White Dragon, we see that he would rather destroy a card of his own accord than let someone “unworthy” use it (against him). He might lean towards restricting a s/o from interacting with people and things he doesn’t see as “good enough”, claiming their successes as reflecting on himself, and using them as a trophy. (See: Kaiba throwing a hissy fit because “his rival” lost to someone “other than him.”)

BUT

I also don’t see Kaiba falling for someone he can easily control. He’s surrounded by people obligated to follow his orders and do his bidding. Someone who can challenge him and stand up to him would stand out in relief. A s/o strong-willed enough to stand next to Kaiba will be able to keep his possessiveness in check by telling him, “you’re doing this relationship badly; you cannot treat me this way or you soon you won’t be able to treat me any way at all.”

Kaiba WILL be the most worthy of his s/o; the one to understand his s/o the best. Losing them because he’s not good enough or working hard enough is unthinkable. He’ll work on gaining his s/o’s affections not through control, but through thoughtful effort.

[humunanunga]

I’m imagining a Yu-Gi-Oh reboot with narrative amendments again. And now that my qpp’s seen all of Duel Monsters, I can finally post this without spoiling anything for her, but that also means I saw there were sections I forgot about. There’s plenty of other well-said critiques about Memory World, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the author himself had similar critiques, considering his health’s impact on his mental presence at the time and vice versa, so I just wanna talk about the Millennium Rod.

It’s kind of odd that we got a Dark Marik but not a Dark Kaiba, right? But what if we did and it was just misattributed?

Before more lore was canon, there was an early game in which Kaiba was possessed by the Millennium Ring; and originally, Priest Set was intended to be King Atemu’s other serious challenger besides Zorc. So what if instead of leaning into a DID stereotype, Dark Marik was more like the other two sealed souls associated with Millennium Items? I mean, he does have the eye sigil literally the entire time he’s active. That could’ve actually been Aknadin/the High Priest of Darkness from when he tried to possess Set, or there could’ve been a subplot there about Zorc affecting Set directly and that influence being sealed into the Rod, only it didn’t have sentience separate from Zorc until the Rod responded to Marik’s raw anger. Marik and Bakura have both used Millennium powers to implant themselves in secondary hosts, it’s been established before that Millennium entities can reach out remotely to a varying extent, and in season zero, Zorc’s battle injuries could grow into new minions.

Actually, Seto and Marik have a lot in common aside from an acquired taste for blood and theatrics (Seto may be anti-military in this life but in his past life he was well on his way down a path of police brutality). Both of them are inseparable from a brother who keeps them comparatively sane just by being there for them, but whom also part-time at their conscience. For either of them and their respective brother, at least one of them was adopted by the oppressive father who made both their childhoods so traumatic, and the fathers tried forcing their sons into their own dark family legacies while maintaining total control over them, which ultimately cost them their lives when their heirs did take over. And maybe it’s just that they’re wearing similar clothing, but Marik’s father does kind of look like Priest Set’s birth father.

This may fall into headcanon, but it’s also one of the amendments I’d like to see if Duel Monsters were to get a fix-it relaunch. It wouldn’t make any continuity errors I can think of up until Memory World, but it could also recontextualize some preceding details.

Seto Kaiba courting/flirting headcanons?

Absolutely! Apologies if this takes me forever to post, my luck is apparently not that great so I've gotten busy.

Art from the Yugipedia

How Seto Kaiba Courts/Flirts with someone he's interested in.

❥︎ Let's start with the basics. Seto Kaiba is not known to be the kindest an understanding up people so to get into his heart is quite the achievement.

❥︎ Let's say you met through Mokuba. Maybe you were hired to watch over him, or maybe he needed help finding his brother in a crowd. Seto wouldn't be as critical as he would if you met in competition or other circumstances.

❥︎ Now let's flip it the other way. If you met the infamous Seto Kaiba through a duel or maybe you bumped into him by accident. He would be as critical as he usually is, likely calling you a few names in the process.

❥︎ At first he despised you, your presence, the way you did anything was flawed to him. If you duel he would call you mediocre ir even bad. If you didn't he would find something else to pick apart.

❥︎ But after a while he would get used to you, the name calling would slow and then eventually stop. He'd actually give you pointers if you were a duelist or compliment whatever else you did.

❥︎ Seto is an intelligent man and he'd prefer someone who can at least understand what he's talking about. If you don't he'll find it quite annoying, but after another while he'll try to explain.

❥︎ To show his interest in you he will be softer around you, as long as no one else is around (except Mokuba) He might even leave messages on your phone to check in on you. In his own Seto way of course..

❥︎ As a partner he will struggle to convey affection, and he might even reject any advances at first.

❥︎ He isn't used to having someone around who gives him so much positive attention. He's so used to people only talking business or battle with him.

❥︎ You get bonus s/o points if you Mokuba likes you being around.

❥︎ PDA is a no-no, he has an image to uphold and you won't even be allowed to hold his hand.

❥︎ Behind closed doors is another story. If you cling onto him or try to give him affection he will accept, he likely won't give you the same amount of attention but he will make sure you know he cares about you.

❥︎ Expect tiny gifts to appear sometimes at your workplace or your home with small notes attached to them. I think Seto would have gift giving as a love language, but in a controlled way.

❥︎ He may not express his affection physically, (outside of gifts) he will also tell you how he feels on the occasion. He'll compliment you as well, it is his main way of letting you know how he feels.

Here it is! I hope you like this! I think it's a little shorter than the last one with Yami. But I hope I got Seto's personality down right and again, I hope you enjoy it!

More Kaiba Headcanons

pairing(s): seto kaiba x gn!reader

warnings: none I just wanted an excuse to write for kaiba again <33

warm hugs

"i hate you" followed by a small chuckle and a fond smile

always soft voice around you

he's either amazing at cooming or has absolutely no skill at all, no inbetween

mokuba loves how you make kaiba smile

will not let you near yugi at first, he stands betwern you and glares at yugi whenever he comes near. yami is never bothered and just chuckles, but yugi shrinks in his boots and switches with the person next to him

more of a show rather than tell person about his affection

calling just to hear his voice when he's working late at kaiba corp

him falling asleep at his desk so you wake him up and guide him to bed

at the start of your relationship, he gets flustered very easily at small gestures

he can be a little tone deaf sometimes and he's bad at comforting you but he'll try his damn best

[deejadabbles]

Heres some post-canon-Atem-stays-AU headcanons bc I will forever be in denial that the ending of ygo ever happened.

First off can we all address the fact that Atem would have an accent!?! He knows Japanese bc of Yugi but once he has his own body back, his muscles and brain are used to different speech patterns, therefore we get an accent! The first time the gang hears him talk and this (adorable) accent they're floored but love it, it kinda helps further cement that he really is his own person apart from Yugi (not that the gang really needs that but still).

I think this would also lead to Yugi asking Atem to teach him some Ancient Egyptian. He says it just because he's interested but really he wants Atem to feel slightly less alone now that literally no one else speaks his language.

Also. Contrary to what some (*cough*Kaiba*cough*) think, Atem knows how to work modern tech. Like, come on he shared Yugi's body for years, he knows how to work a phone and computer. Now, he may be a bit of an old man and prefer not to use some modern things, but he's competent at least.

(okay okay but can we entertain the idea of Atem making "back in my day" jokes bc he thinks it's funny and Honda n Jonouchi take to calling him "old man" and it's just a big running joke between everyone?? that'd be great.)

Another misconception I think Atem would prove wrong is that he actually doesn't have all too much trouble adjusting to being a "commoner" and having to live a normal, rather un-luxurious, life. Again, he spent years watching Yugi interact with the world and live in it as someone who wasn't royalty, or even rich, and did that with no context of his previous life.

So yeah when Atem returns to earth with his own body he doesn't like...expect to have everything provided for him, or be waited on hand and foot like some ppl expected since he was royalty. Sure, he may not actively think "oh, I have to get a job in order to live now" on his own (mostly bc I think he's just still amazed he's alive at all, a lot of things don't come to mind), but when the subject comes up Atem isn't astonished or taken aback by the idea or anything weird, logically he knows he has to provide for himself now and knows at least the basics of how to accomplish that in modern times.

Okay but seriously can we all take a minute imagining Atem getting a fast food or clerk job to get by until he figures out what he wants to do next. Jou and Honda thought he'd be too prideful to "stoop that low" as ppl say, but Atem's fine with it. If dishing out fries to shitty customers or ringing up cigarettes at a gas station ensures that grandpa and Yugi don't have to carry him through life he's fine with it.

That being said, I can see Atem just being...forgetful that he has to take care of himself sometimes. He's not ignorant of the modern world, but he also has his memories back now, so I can see him laying in bed for a good 10 min before he finally remembers "oh yeah servants aren't coming to dress me, okay lets do this". And sure he knows the basics of life from his time with Yugi, like cooking and doing laundry for himself. But there's times where he just runs out of clean clothes bc he forgot to do laundry, things like that, but hey that's stuff even us non-ex-royals do as Adults so that's okay.

My point is that Atem adjusts to the modern world and not being royalty really well. He's just a forgetful dork sometimes.

Okay but going back to my "Atem gets an entry-level job" headcanon. Now I'm thinking about Kaiba finding out that Atem got a fast-food job instead of coming to him for work. Next thing Atem knows Kaiba storms in (probably cutting the line because of course he would) and starts this melodramatic speech about how no one has the right to employ the rival of Seto Kaiba besides SETO KAIBA himself.

Atem, who was already chewed out by a customer for getting the wrong sized drink, is having NONE of this and is completely ignoring him, trying to serve the next customer in line. When all Atem will say to him is "sir if you wont buy anything please leave" the petty giraffe known as Kaiba slams a pile of bills on the counter ....this then leads to Atem matching his pettiness! You know that tiktok, it's basically that. Atem takes the entire stack of bills, looks Kaiba dead in the eye, and tells him to get his own chicken nuggets.

Next thing we know Atem's managers are trying to pry them apart because Kaiba hopped the counter. There are nuggets and fries everywhere, someone threw a large coke, the customers are filming. It's a big mess.

OMG imagine the headline "Local billionaire has melt down at McDonald's"

Okay, moving on from that, sorry I just had to get that outta my head.

Once again I'm going to drive home my "touch starved Atem" headcanon by saying that Atem actually likes not being royalty in his 2nd life because Yugi and his friends aren't afraid to show him affection. This boy craves touch so much and is loving the fact that no one thinks it's offensive to hug him. Atem's the type that once he's comfortable with someone, expect hugs for every hello and goodbye. He's also known for putting his hands on shoulders and sometimes playing with hair (only if the other is comfortable with it of course!).

The hair-playing thing is because he has these precious memories of brushing and styling Mana's hair when they were younger (and once or twice being able to beg Mahad to join their hairstyling sessions). Now he loves doing it because he equates it with affection and unconditional friendship. He especially loves playing with Ryou's hair since it's so long and soft, and even bought Ryou these tarot card themed hairpieces just so he could style his hair with them.

After experimenting with alcohol a bit, Atem finds that he likes some wine cooler-type drinks but sometimes he'll crave a beer, since that was the drink of choice in ancient egypt. He weirds ppl out though because he prefers them warm, cold beer is too harsh on his sensitive teeth and he's just not used to it. Also, it took a long time to find a beer brand he likes because most aren't up to the quality he had "back in his day" lol.

At first Atem only knows how to cook basic things (again, what Yugi knows) but he soon realizes that he enjoys cooking. He gets a Pinterest account just so he can save recipes he wants to try (he starts saving other things though, he likes aesthetic boards and interior design!). The whole gang ends up loving this because he cooks meals for them sometimes and they're so good! While they're still in high school he makes Bentos for everyone about once a week and it's the highlight of their week <3

He does get a bit sad though, when he tries to recreate meals from his culture and they just don't taste quite right.

oKaY I WAS going to go on about what career I think Atem would eventually pursue, but they got really long and this is already long so I'm going to put them in their own post. All I'll say right now is: college student Atem and later, professor Atem.

That's all for now, expect more in the future though because I will never not support Atem stays AUs <3

[kaibacorpintern]

do you have any thoughts about the relationship between the kaiba bros and isono? or about isono in general? I'm kind of fascinated by him. like does he have a family at home or is he just full time at kaiba's side

oh wait i have already written up a long essay on isono LOL. here is a post about Isono teaching Seto how to tie his ties. Here is another post about Kaiba brothers buying Isono novelty socks.

I really don't think he has a family at home because i can't imagine you could reasonably split your time between following Kaiba around all the time and maintaining a healthy and attentive family life. Everything in canon seems to indicate he was hired AFTER Duelist Kingdom (he doesn't show up before then) but I have read a few fanfics and a few headcanons about him being a Gozaburo hire who escaped Seto's post-takeover chopping block by virtue of being a good, decent man.

As for the relationships between Isono and the Kaiba bros I think fanon exaggerates what actually exists between them in canon, which is fine and fair and fun and I do it all the time. It's fun to imagine Isono's heart gets all melty when he sees, idk, Mokuba falling asleep against Seto's shoulder in the back of the town car on their way home, but it seems like an equally reasonable interpretation that he's strictly professional and doesn't feel especially paternal over them. It might be interesting to explore a dynamic where he DOES feel paternal over them but Kaiba snarls against the thought of his employee trying to be a Father Figure (the gall, the sheer nerve; 'on top of that, Isono, you are paid to be here and if I stop paying you right now,' kaiba asks, 'will you still be here tomorrow?') and maybe Mokuba gloms onto this a bit but ultimately what Mokuba wants is Niisama and Niisama's Attention and Niisama's Affection. god help you if you're not Niisama tbh.

I like the manga panel where he's like "no one told me we were blowing up the island 😬" at the end of Battle City, and the moment in the anime during DOMA when he and Fuguta insist they're loyal to Seto, even when DOMA has taken over KaibaCorp. Some cute moments of personality for a character who otherwise doesn't really get explored.

[numberoneduelist]

Headcanon time! Do you think Kaiba remembers his birth parents? Does he miss them, or does he feel more indifferent towards his life before Gozaburo adopted him. Has he ever considered changing his name from Kaiba back to whatever it was before?

He’s pretty stoic, but do you think he’s ever had a full blown panic attack and needed help calming back down? Does he acknowledge and understand his past really affected him in a negative way?

Do you think as he’s so snarky and teasing towards Joey because he’s somewhat jealous Joey is able to act his age and have fun despite his own terrible home life?

「 I'm going to answer this one for my Seto instead of for canon Kaiba, if that's alright. I'm about to head to work so I don't have time to think suuuuper hard and dig into all of the context we've been given.

He does remember his parents! He was about eight when his father died, and his mother passed when giving birth to Mokuba a few years before that. So he does have a better recollection of dad, but his memories of mom are a little fuzzy.

He will not admit it to most, but he does miss them. It aches, sometimes - a strange feeling in his chest - when he thinks of how simple life could've been. He wouldn't be the CEO of one of the largest empires in the world, but he might've been happy. Most days he is fine with it, as he gets to push himself to the limits of his potential, but every once in a while...

He would not change his surname. It's tied too closely to his success at this point. But that means it's incredibly significant when he allows someone to call him by his first name. It matters a lot to him that said person has acknowledged his individual, authentic self. And that's something that he doesn't want a lot of people to see.

He has definitely had panic attacks before. Usually, he absconds before they can become too full-blown and immobilizing. He doesn't want people to see him like that. Mokuba has definitely been there for a couple, and him being there has been enough to keep things from boiling over too far. But for the most part, he refuses help.

He does acknowledge that he has trauma, but doesn't really fully understand just how deeply it's effected him. That it has shaped so much of his life and his personality and his relationships that he's now almost incapable of separating himself from it. But if someone were to reach through his thorny exterior, he might be able to begin at least thinking about the healing process.

Maybe somewhere deep down, that's part of the reason he teases Joey. Most of the time, it's just because the reactions are funny. That one's not too deep lmao 」
