considering the potential for a YuGiOh x Danny Phantom crossover

the actions of loving (grand)parents cursing a child. the release of spirits otherwise held back in another realm. dual identities: confidence and power juxtaposing invisibility and compassion. friendship lasting beyond the shackles of mortality. reformed villains taking on the title (or guise) of friends. the looming spectre of death through it all.

and of course: a magical girl transformation sequence

#ygo #danny phantom #the themes are all THERE it's just that Yuugi fights with cards and dice and Danny's got these fuckin hands #so if the Puzzle hadn't just released Yami...#or if Atem gave up his life to plug a hole #and Yuugi solving the puzzle released Yami and unplugged the hole #then Shadow Monsters -slash- spirits came out into the world #would Yuugi even be aware of the fact that it's Yami dealing with all of it??#teenaged superhero is a classic trope #teenager who doesn't know he's a superhero??#has no explanation for his injuries. doesn't know why people around him keep getting hurt #keep vanishing #Yuugi's so so so so worried he's the problem #Yami can feel his turmoil and knows the spirits only arrived when he did #what's his drive?#does he protect innocent people? at the risk of hurting the person who saved him?#or does he make sure Yuugi stays safe?#and damn the rest of the world in his inaction??#thoughts #ygo x dp #how lonely could Yami's life be #fighting and brawling and guilt for injuring his host #surrounded by fear even when not in control #how isolating for Yuugi #Kaiba and Bakura :: Valerie
