Idk if anyone has asked for these headcanons before, but ok. Do you have any headcanons about the Yugi family and what the twins' relationship was like back then and with their parents?

Am I finally answering this? I think I am

First off I wanna say I am sooooo sorry that I took so long to get around to this one, as I’ve said before I’m not rly an expert on all the Yugi lore (like I’ve read the Red House arc but I was primarily focused on Kou and Katakuri lol) and I was a bit worried abt mischaracterizing them. But it’s not uncommon for my headcanons to stretch canon, that’s part of what makes headcanons fun. So walk with me here and we’re gonna get silly (actually it will probably be angsty bcuz it’s the Yugis but walk with me nonetheless)

• Starting from the very beginning, I imagine the twins were born prematurely which eventually led to Amane’s health issues

• Tsukasa was able to tough it out but Amane never quite recovered, he came out with more complications and had to be taken into special care immediately

• For children aged 0-2 with chronic health problems, you’re supposed to give them the max amount of attention and reassurance, namely with physical contact

• I like to think this is what led to the twins being so physically affectionate with each other and with their other friends later on. Amane’s parents absolutely smothered him with affection to help him thrive and they naturally did the same with Tsukasa to ensure he stayed healthy, and so he wouldn’t feel left out

• Therefore the twins grew up viewing physical touch as the ultimate way to express love, it’s their love language

• That scene during their third birthday when Tsukasa asks Amane if he loves him was the first time Amane ever told Tsukasa he loves him, he thought it was obvious so it never crossed his mind to say it out loud. Later on, Tsukasa’s need for direct reassurance gave Amane issues with verbally expressing his feelings. It’s much easier for him to show than tell, and his feelings towards Tsukasa became very complicated after The Incident™️, so putting his thoughts into words became a struggle. I am a firm believer in the autistic Amane headcanon so I think that plays a role here, along with him abruptly having to hide his deeper feelings once Tsukasa came back. Even if he were able to verbalize his feelings, it wouldn’t be appropriate to since the situation was so complex and he wasn’t rly decisive on whether this new thing was his brother or not

• I’ve seen the headcanon that their parents were high school sweethearts and I absolutely love that, I also see them as a girlboss x malewife ship (I know I slander that trope a lot but in this case I mean it in a Gomez and Morticia Addams way)

• Amane gets his autism from their father and Tsukasa gets his adhd from their mother

• Their mom would make them homemade donuts a lot which is why they’re Amane’s favorite food

• They never had any proper pets but they did have several yard cats. Unfortunately most of them turned into sacrifices for the entity ://

• Their household became very tense when Tsukasa returned. Their mother began to struggle with mental illness and would lash out a lot, scolding Tsukasa for very basic things (like if she even thought he was looking at her weird she would yell at him)

• Their father tried to make up for this by devoting extra time to bonding with Tsukasa, unfortunately he also had an off-feeling about the whole situation but he tried to push it aside and focus on being a good dad (which caused a lot of arguments between him and Mama Yugi)

• This led to Amane being somewhat ignored, which was an abrupt change as he was the one who used to get all the attention with his illness. His parents would take him out every now and then to do things without Tsukasa but that just made him feel awkward, and most of the time at home the only person to pay him any attention was his brother

• He grew up to be a massive introvert because of this combined with his autism already making it hard to connect with his peers. While Tsukasa gained a lot of popularity for his loud personality, Amane easily fell into the background. He didn’t mind it all that much but it made him very lonely

• They stopped having family dinners around the time the twins hit age 5, after that they only had them for birthdays and holidays and they were very tense and uncomfortable. Amane would always ask to be excused early

• The twins would share a bed a lot up to age three because Tsukasa was very clingy, ofc they couldn’t do it all the time tho bcuz of Amane’s sickness. After Tsukasa came back though, Amane became scared to share a room with him. He would never turn him away, but he’d stay up all night watching Tsukasa to detect any unusual behavior

• As the years went on, Amane’s paranoia became less convenient. He eventually had to give in and just sleep whenever his brother wanted to stay over. Subconsciously, he began to view Tsukasa’s presence as a comfort, and when he became a supernatural he was unable to sleep without his brother in the same building. Seeing as supernaturals don’t need sleep, this went on for decades until Tsukasa returned. Their reunion was terrifying, but Amane slept like a abt that night

• They shared their whole lives together, it would be impossible for Amane not to have some attachment to Tsukasa. But he knows something hasn’t been right with his brother since he came back. Because of this, he feels guilty every time he catches himself laughing too freely at one of Tsukasa’s jokes or stacking up extra pillows for their sleepovers. His love for Tsukasa feels like a betrayal to the brother he lost all those years ago

• With their parents so dysfunctional, it was only natural that the twins clung to each other. They tried to get out of the house a lot to avoid their tense home life, going to festivals and movies (unfortunately Tsukasa and movie theaters do not pair well together)

• I know their dynamic is far from sunshine and roses but on a lighter note, I imagine their more casual moments to look similar to the dynamic of Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls

• Amane: Tsukasa, do you believe in ghosts?

Tsukasa: I believe you’re a huge dork

• Like Amane being very serious and academic while Tsukasa tries to cling to their childhood. Amane just wants to get out of that house but Tsukasa is there to make sure he doesn’t rush the growing up process

• Now picture them with the Peanut Butter & Jelly Halloween costumes

• Yk that little thing Tsukasa does where he tackles Amane with a hug every time he sees him?? Yeah he definitely did that in the hallways at school. It was mortifying for poor Amane

• They strike me as one of those families where the parents have very intense front seat arguments every time they drive while the kids sit in the backseat like 🧍🏻🧍🏻

• Their parents were always very cautious of Amane overexerting himself or getting sick again so they wouldn’t let him go on school field trips or play outside a lot. Tsukasa, however, did NOT hold the same conviction and would regularly drag Amane into dangerous situations. It was kind of nice for Amane to have someone that didn’t treat him like he was made of glass all the time

• The twins never talked abt girls or anything like that growing up bcuz Tsukasa wasn’t rly interested in romance, so when he realized Hanako had smth going on with Nene there was a moment where he pulled him aside to have the very serious “I thought you were gay??” talk

• Tsukasa knew all of Amane’s secret hiding spots at their house and vice versa

• Amane preferred sport related games like soccer and baseball but Tsukasa liked to play with dolls so he could make up really convoluted backstories for them

• Sometimes they would play chef where Tsukasa would make the most disgusting food combinations he could think of and force Amane to eat it

• One of their fonder family memories is when Papa Yugi convinced Mama Yugi to take the twins to a carnival. They all had a blast tho Mama Yugi was a bit on edge. Tsukasa got on a sugar high and dragged Amane onto a rollercoaster

Okay I think this is all I’ve got for now, I know these were mainly abt the twins so I’m sorry if you wanted more for the parents😓 They give me rancid vibes idk how to explain it. At least they're hot tho. Thank you for the ask btw these were fun to make!! :D

Enjoy the idea that I had right before bed: an average day in the Muto-Kaiba household.

Seto: “Can I come in here, Oh my god!”

Mokuba whose dressed up little Jaden into a miniature version of Seto:

Jaden: “It’s like looking in a mirror!”

Seto exasperated with both of them: “No it isn’t Jaden.”

Jaden: “Who’s Jaden?”

Mokuba stirring the pot: “I already can’t tell who’s who.”

Seto more exasperated with Mokuba: “Take that stuff off.”

Jaden: “Yugi get in here and settle this!”

Seto: “Don’t call your dad Yugi.”

Yugi: “What? Oh, hey! Travel sized Seto. Aww”

Seto: “Yugi you’re encouraging him.”

Atem coming in and immediately playing along: “Excuse me I need- oh wow this is confusing.”

Seto now very annoyed with all of them: “No it’s not.”

Jaden: “You’re my family and I love you, but you’re terrible, all terrible.”

Seto: “I don’t say that.”

Mokuba: “Well that’s all you say.”

Yugi: “You doooo”

Atem nodding in agreement.

Bakura: I have a traumatised murderous psycopath living in my head who keeps stealing my body to kill people and if it comes to it I might just kill both of us to stop him

Yugi: I'm mutually sharing my body with a 3000 year old pharaoh who has no memory and used to torture and kill people but he's chill now we're homies <3

Malik: I dunno what the fuck is going on with me but I know it's nowhere near as weird as all that

[romanceddawn]

yandere seto is so easy to think up situations for but yandere yugi is a little tougher if only because seto will know about yugi's more weird actions so quickly, like the man has a security team around him all the time and probably has cameras every where he works or sleeps so if yugi even attempts to break into his bedroom or scare his assistant off, then seto finds out about it easily

he'd definitely be so intrigued at first though i think, because why would perfect little yugi be doing stuff like this? and then if he finds out its all because he's the object of yugi's affections? well a) it definitely flusters him like a schoolgirl with a crush and b) he is definitely going to encourage it more, because being able to affect yugi mutou so much that he's willing to drop his sweet goody two shoes act for him is a better thrill than even dueling

A thought:

I've heard speculations about, since it didn't look like Anzu and Grandpa Muto were familiar with each other in recent years (Anzu being surprised he's alive, Sugoroku commenting on how much she's grown), that Anzu moved away and only recently-ish returned to the area and reconnected with Yugi.

But. Consider.

Yugi is, honestly, one lonely kid at the start of the series. Anzu is stated to be his only friend, more or less. He gets bullied A Lot, especially in the pre-Cardgamepocalypse era. Plus, y'know, you gotta test into Japanese high schools.

So maybe Yugi originally got into a different school, had the same being bullied issues there, and transferred to Domino High later on in hopes that'd resolve the problem (ahahahahaha.... ha... :c), and then he and Anzu reconnected from there.

If nothing else, this theory would make it look like his parent(s)* actually did something to help the kid and that would ease my heart a little more. :c

(* - Yes, I know Sugoroku did his best to help but he's not the legal guardian here OK)

[antaresr]

An AU based on something that just happened to me (my traumas my fics xD)

Liberashipping, lovers to friends to lovers again, maybe Mpreg?

Yugi and Marik had a relationship a long time ago, in that relationship they had two children, due to differences in how they wanted to lead their lives they decided to separate.

Yugi stays with the children and Marik leaves, for many years Marik only maintained communication with his children and saw them occasionally when Marik returned to the city, he and Yugi only saw each other when Marik wanted to take the children somewhere.

One day Yugi becomes seriously ill, his children (who are now old enough to work) take him to the hospital, the doctor who treats him says that he needs emergency surgery, they register him and transfer him to the pre-op room.

Yugi comes out of the surgery well and stays hospitalized for a while to recover. Marik, for some reason, feels that something is wrong and for the first time in years calls Yugi's cell phone directly.

They have a talk to catch up on things and how work and life have been going, then Yugi tells him that he is hospitalized and why, Marik promises to go visit him as soon as he can get back to Japan, Yugi tells him that It is not necessary, the call was enough.

Yugi leaves the hospital a month later, his oldest son looks for a job that allows him to go out or be absent if necessary to be able to take care of Yugi, his youngest son reduces his class hours at the university and takes care of the game store and also takes care of of Yugi to stop Yugi from doing something.

Marik returns, and not only that but he buys all the medicines that Yugi needs and also other things so that he is comfortable while he finishes recovering.

Marik leaves again, but now he constantly keeps in touch with Yugi, more than with his own children.

On his youngest son's birthday he calls Yugi's phone, congratulates his son and then starts talking to Yugi, they talk for three hours, they laugh, they gossip, they remember the past and then Yugi drops a comment:

I was never jealous or prevented you from doing things

That hits them both, because they probably never stopped loving each other, they simply wanted to do different things with their lives and decided that it was healthier to be separated to avoid fights, misunderstandings and that one of them will start to hate the other.

Ishizu realizes his brother's internal debate, with many years of experience she tells him to do what he considers right and to make his heart feel light.

Marik thinks, the things that prevented him from staying by Yugi's side are no longer a problem (freedom, discovering the world, doing things that he would not have been able to do if he had stayed), he is older, he is old, and returning to who he considers his home makes him feel warm inside.

Marik goes to Japan, to the game store, when he knocks it is Yugi who opens it, when he sees Yugi's big eyes half closed due to the sleepiness caused by the medications, he knows that it is the right decision.

"I think going back to Japan is the best, so I can see you three." Marik knows he can't go back just like that, he has to win Yugi back.

When Yugi notices Marik's intentions, he has his reservations because he has already lived a large part of his life without him, he had other partners and has dedicated himself to his career as a game creator and his children, he never need someone else and Marik was a memory.

After a long time (really long), Yugi decides to give Marik ONE chance, an opportunity that Marik exploits to the fullest, showing Yugi that this time he is not going to fail or leave his side.

No offense to other shippers, I can just never see Yugi and Jaden as anything but family because of my own specific headcanons. Like what do you mean people ship them, that was his babysitter that looked after him when Kaiba and Joey wanted to have date night. Everyone knows this <- is the only person who thinks this

[mx-giraffe]

So tonight when i was saying night to my dad, i said “don’t let the bedbugs bite” and he said “if i see any I’ll grab em and toss em into the toilet in another dimension. The dimension of that little suicidal flower boy with a girl’s name” so I said “…who?”, he just repeated “the suicidal flower boy with a girl’s name, the one who lives in the girls bathroom, the probably trans one”. So, logically, I was like “are you talking about Hanako???” And my dad clapped his hands and pointed at me saying “Yes! That one! The little suicidal trans flower boy with a girl’s name!”

Im still laughing.

Bonds Beyond Time is just Yami Yugi and Yusei being gay and Judai acting like their chaotic son.
