love when ppl react like "dont make it weird" when youre talking about kaiba and yami yugi in a romantic way. like im sorry but kaiba made it weird first we're just following his lead here

[shadowofthelamp]

one thing that really helps sell the fact that seto kaiba is A Teen is tearing the fourth blue eyes card in half when he could just. like. put it in a safe. what if he dropped one of them in the toilet or something? accidentally bent it by drawing too dramatically? got some sticky sauce on it? wouldn't it be nice to have a backup? did you even think about that young man

The thing about stakes is that good character writing and tension management can make even mundane everyday conflicts like "Will little Susie make it home from school in time to watch her favorite TV show?!" into cataclysmic, life-or-death issues that the audience is deeply invested in. Bad character writing and bad pacing and tension management can make even "the entire earth and every human being on it is about to be murdered" into something boring and meaningless. Higher stakes ≠ more danger. High stakes = real emotional consequences for the audience.

Sorry for not posting much. It's because I haven't been drawing much lol So here's something just totally random. Yubel from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX! Yubel's hitting that "Dr. Phil hold this L" meme because my friend suggested I draw it lol

My friend groups hear about it a lot, and I guess I don't post much about it online, but I LOVE Yu-Gi-Oh. Been playing since the pandemic really, and recently Yubel got a whole wave of support making them fully playable, and it's all I've been playing.

Anyways I've been trying to get the groove back for drawing and hope to post more soon and if you ever wanna talk Yu-Gi-Oh, hit me up cause I just love this stupid card game.

This is a little project that I worked on in the last weeks, and I finally finished it.

The Japanese dub is my favorite, but the Italian one was the one that made me discover Zexal, and I used to watch the show in Italian until the third arc.

I watched the episodes from the first two arcs in this dub many times and I'm still very attached to most of the characters' Italian voices.

This dub is very dear and nostalgic to me, so I wanted to share some Astral's clips from it on my blog.

But I didn't want to put a bunch of Italian clips here without any kind of subtitles, so I decided to do the subtitles myself. But what should have been just a few clips became all Astral's scenes in the first two episodes, and it took me more time than I anticipated.

Just a few things before you watch the video:

- I tried to do this translation more literally possible (so I apologize if some lines sound weird), but with some phrases and expressions I had to translate them in a not literal way to keep their meaning.

- The edit of the video is a little rough because I favored the audio over the video and I tried not to cut the lines too much. And since I only used Astral's clips, some transactions between scenes are not very smooth, I apologize about that.

- I hope that the subtitles are easy to read, I never did something like this and I did my best to make them readable and not too fast.

- I rewatched it several times to check it, but it's very possible that there's still some errors or/and weird phrasing, so I apologize in advance for any errors.

After all those premises, here is the finished work:

Astral's clips from episodes 1 and 2 of Zexal in Italian dub (with English subs):

(I'm sorry for the bad quality, but not only the original videos were in a low quality, but I also had to lower it even more to upload it)

rewatching doma arc and it has it's fair share of problems with the story overall like I get it but the fact remains that the arc gave yami yugi, jonouchi and kaiba all each a villain counterpart to have a homoerotic storyline with. completely uncalled for but they keep bringing it up throughout the season unprompted.

Time to settle this

your yugioh discord server au my beloved.

dunno if this already came up, but i tottaly see everyone chatting regulary (esp jaden the spammer-tm), minus yusei. he just lurks and gives a reply every second year/when tagged. </3

Yusei is the lurker who nevertheless responds immediately when tagged. The guy will never hop in and voice his opinion, but the second you @ him he has replied the nanosecond you hit send. He is, however, the biggest organizer of server movie nights, voice chats, and meet-up when multiple members of them are in the same city. This au is set after his series ended, after all. He's already keeping up long distance friendships with Jack, Crow, Akiza, and the twins. He is hardcore about keeping on top of online friendships. Sometimes he'll just pop into the vc while he's working and leave it open while he tinkers.

In ascending order of activity, Yusaku probably chats the second least. This tempered though, by the fact that they are always online. 4am in the morning? Yusaku is there. Yusaku's actually more vocal in the discord than in real life, after years of growing up raised by message boards an forums. If everyone sees it's been like 25 hours since they logged off, someone will shoot a message to Kolter, or they'll just log into vrains and hunt him down like it's the most dangerous game (getting Yusaku to log off and go the fuck to sleep)

Yuya took a while to warm up the the GC, but every day gets more bold with just kicking down the doors of the chat and going off about something or another. Also he's in a minecraft server with all his brothers and the bracelet girls, so if he's online but not responding, it's probably because he's griefing Yuri's dirt house for the third time this week.

Yugi's really active in the chat, a fact that never fails to blow Yuma and Yuya's minds. He'll be at a global release sponsored by every important duel monsters company under the sun, and he'll send pictures of Kaiba caught mid sneeze with the caption 'LOL'. He will be on NATIONAL TV AND TEXTING THE GROUPCHAT. His memes are legendary.

No one knows how to quantify Yuma's activity, because there's like a 90% chance most of the messages he sends are him???? But then there's also the possibility that half his messages are Astral feeling chatty, and it's very hard to tell because both of them are equally likely to start a rousing discussion on the morals of dolphins at 3 in the morning. Yugi is the only one who can reliably tell them apart.

And OF COURSE, AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, IT'S YA BOI, YOUR SUPREME MEME KING: JADEN YUKI. *insert airhorn sound effect* Spammer galore. Constantly uploading selfies of him standing in front of some eldritch abomination, or standing on the surface of Jupiter, or some other such equally questionable use of his powers. Liveblogs his annoyance at being made to do demonic paperwork. Makes incomprehensible memes that no one can tell if he's dunking on his henchmen again, or just really, really good at shitposting. He has a channel in the discord just for him where, every day, he just sends a single digit number, and some of the yu-boys are going crazy trying to figure out if it's a code, or some secret eldritch coordinates, or a massive ARG style prank, or what.

Yusei eventually reveals it's how many tries Yubel took to get the days wordle.

YGO character design is just different variations of this ranging from severe to mild
