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.

WIP from November 22nd, 2024 forgot to upload this oopsieeee In my buddy @eleanorose123's ongoing Yu-Gi-Oh hyperfixation, both of us have repeatedly lamented the lack of a proper design for The Light of Destruction in GX outside of some weird smoke with a jack-o-lantern face on it, despite it being a significant villain in the series. That and the fact that death/darkness has a proper design (and it rips), so I decided to take a crack at a full one for The Light over a few late-night hours.

I'm not going to pretend I understand Yu-Gi-Oh's design philosophy and thus I'm not going to pretend that this would fit it either, but I had fun anyway! I wanted to capture some cosmic god vibes with it while using what little scraps of imagery/colours we do get for it in the anime. Any day I'm making glowy star stuff is a good day :] ...Should I finish this? 🤔 I'm fine with leaving it as a fun little experiment here of course, but it might be distinct enough from the source material to make a print without too much trouble. Or at the very least a nice finished illustration I can add to my collection! I need to do more of those in general. Anyway, enjoy!

did you guys know about louise the true victim of 4Kids censorship

she's not even a beaver...

[shitpostingkats]

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.
