As much as I love the Millennium World Arc it’s also incredibly heartbreaking to watch Atem go through that. He finally has all the pieces needed to open the tablet of memories and they were all sure that he would remember who he was and then he DIDN’T. Instead he goes through a repeat of what he did when he woke up in the Millennium Puzzle where he doesn’t know what’s going on or anything at all but instead of getting to try to piece things together he’s dropped right into the middle of huge dire events. And he does gradually start to get things back but for a huge chunk of it he’s completely in the dark AGAIN. He didn’t actually start remembering things until around where TKB dropped him in the river and his friends gave him his name. And it’s heartbreaking. It’s heart breaking how for the majority of the arc he had to just take people’s word for shit and just blindly trust that they were being honest and that what they were informing him was true. The fact that he spent a year and a half getting used to being with Yugi in his time period and then within two seconds of entering the Millennium World he’s barraged by his past at a million miles an hour, and its not even an everyday kind of day its his friggin -coronation-. So of course he can’t excuse himself. Like thank goodness for royal attendants so he could try and get information from Shimon who was more than willing to explain things to him and didn’t get mad or confused by him not knowing what was going on, he just was like “okay I dunno why the Pharaoh needs an explanation but I’ll explain.” And just look at him.

Like he’s so overwhelmed and its so sad because yeah he’s finally getting answers about his past but like at the same time he’s not. Just as he was a stranger in Yugi’s body and life now he’s a stranger in his own body and his own life. Unlike the people in his memories he feels out of place and he IS out of place sitting here where everyone knows him and he SHOULD know these people and he DOESN’T.

The scene on the balcony where Yugi can feel his loneliness and Atem is thinking about all of these new but familiar faces he goes, “Everyone here knows who I am. But I don’t know anyone. As a Pharaoh, did I truly understand them? And did they know the real me?” ( Ep 203 11:38) And yet in spite of that he still tried his absolute best to properly navigate being a Pharaoh and he nails it. He steps in himself to deal with Yami Bakura each time, and even though he hasn’t touched a sword in over 3,000 years we see he still knows how to use one just like he still knows how to ride a horse. Any time there is a battle in this arc Atem is front and center being a leader and protecting people or on his way to the battle.

Even though Mahad isn’t there for long (I mean I guess he kind of is because he becomes a card) the scene of him and Atem running into Mana is one of my favorites because that moment Atem realizes that these two were his friends and he did have friends he relaxes and starts flourishing as a pharaoh.

kleptoshipping with yami bakura being so enchanted with yugi, and he's mad about it but he's also not one to deny himself what he wants, but yugi and the nerd herd dont trust him, though, so he usually pretends to be his host just to get time close to yugi

poor ryou is so confused every time his friends come up to him privately and ask if he has a crush because he looks at yugi sooo love struck and he should just go for it already (while the spirit is in the back of his head annoyed and jealous but its also his own fault)

im queer ok let me Iroh-ify an old man from distinct lens of queer disownment via Kaiba. im so genius sometimes. rambles under the cut

see, it fits the exact way described above while hes neither related to solomon, nor are they close nor is he explicitly queer (at that stage) hes just a really, REALLY good example of Hurt People Hurt People. and while yugi gang are peers and "equals" and wouldnt be able to awaken much sympathy for the ways he acts out, an older man, wiser man, sure, a man of conservative leanings and belief of superiority over youth, being awakened to the pains of lone kids, both ego shattered under his strength (ego death and respect) and learning more about him from yugi from their adventures (awakening sympathy) and finding himself the love and the sense of duty to help kids who have no one, it gets to me. him paying more attention to kids in his neighborhood to his frequent customers to kaiba bros to put aside time and money for kids in worse conditions.

Season appropriate starter call | @ironbloodcd

There had been signs throughout the evening, some more easily ignorable than the others: The slight CREAK of the staircase when no one was on it, the random bump from down the hall as though someone were knocking into something, and the occasional feeling of a sudden chill washing over them as they settled in. Ryou had been on high alert with each and every sign the house gave off, taking note of each and every staple of a HAUNTING that occured.

And boy was he EXCITED.

"Did you hear that?" He inquired with poorly concealed excitement in his voice, shifting from their huddled position on the couch as the TV played something far from spooky in nature, per Yugi's request. Ryou, however, was dialed in. "It sounded as though it came from upstairs...!"

Sometimes I remember Amane is a 13 year old boy who has been dead for decades and is bound to a highschool bathroom. Then I go into a deep mind dive into how much I sympathize for him, how wild his brother is, and then the parts of Amane that we don't know because he doesn't like to share his real feelings.

Then I read the next page of the manga and my eyes tear up for Kou, because he is amazing, I feel like adopting him as a little brother, and I would shower him with hugs and telling him he's strong enough.

And then I look at Nene, and I also tear up because she is just a girl who doesn't only get bodyshamed by her classmates but from a bunch of random paranormal beings. Like, imagine just wanting a boyfriend and you get your calves and ankles bashed on emotionally so hard all of the time?

And then I close the book and totally act normal for the rest of my Barnes & Noble 4-5 hour long reading time.
