That Thief King Bakura has somehow acquired a reputation as a "whatevers in the laundry basket" type of guy when it comes to fashion is incredibly funny considering that canonically this man is putting his whole pussy into being as dramatic as possible. I don't know how to tell you this but absolutely nobody in Egypt would have worn a dark red trenchcoat for any reason in the middle of the day, most especially not while running, backflipping, and generally thieving around, for any reason other than sheer vanity that spits in the face of practicality and comfort. He really really wants to look cool and intimidating all the time hes not a boring-ass sweatpants and hoodie type of guy this man has the fashion sense of a 13 year old emo girl who just watched all of Fullmetal Alchemist and considers Edward Elric a true fashion icon.

Book #25!

Fic: Apep Swallows the Moon

Fandom: Yugioh!

For: Me, the author!

A rebind of my very first bind - same fic, but updated with new skills, supplies, tools, typeset, and design sensibilities! This fic is about some horrible painful body transformations (weredragonism) and ritualistic axe killings in the woods at night, so I wanted the cover and the end-papers to reflect the bloody, uncanny, torn flesh feeling. I first cut a strip of the neon red slub and lay it across the (bradel bound) bookboards; once that was glued down, I tore up the scaly paper until I had the ideal shape for the cover. The end-papers are, of course, Crepaldi.

Typesetting details below the cut!

The fic also deals with ancient Egyptian myth and magic, so the typeset has ancient Egyptian elements, like a panel from the Book of the Dead where the gods kill the demon snake, Apep, that I used for the title spread. Apep is in the odd-page header of every chapter, but each chapter has a different hieroglyph in the even-page header, reflecting a key character from that chapter: the cat, the brother, and the Pharaoh.

BEHOLD! Demon snake!

ive read the argument that kaiba would stay in school to beat yuugi at grades, but i don't really think this squares. i think kaiba would see yuugi's "D+ SEE ME AFTER CLASS" on his math test and laugh his way to the administration office where he files his "i am dropping out of school and you won't stop me" paperwork and never steps foot in a high school classroom again.

like i think he went to high school as some kind of boring formality more than anything else. gozaburo seems to have had him in some kind of accelerated curriculum of languages, social studies, business management, and judging by DM, STEM as well (and being some kind of STEM prodigy just makes sense for him anyway, no matter the canon; he designed the duel disk!) so in the end he's just miles ahead of any high school curriculum regardless.

in addition, "beating yuugi at grades" is like... a perpendicular exaggeration of his competitive tendencies. first of all, he knows and acts like he is the smartest person in any room he walks into. he shows no signs of wanting to prove anything in that respect. he does not feel the need to prove he's smarter than yuugi because he already knows he is. second of all, "grades" is not the same as "duel monsters." grades are, in the end, a measure of how well you can take a test. Duel Monsters means something entirely different to kaiba--it is connection, passion, a vehicle of emotion; it is rising to meet the challenge of someone else, through an antagonistic/responsive zero-sum card game, with your whole being. a grade is something you can earn by yourself--a solitary victory. someone else can also "win" at grades and it has nothing to do with you. duel monsters is something you have to play with someone else, with an outcome constructed via interactions with other people.

in other words: he dropped out of high school the end

not sure how they get their happy ending. i assume jou tricks gozaburo into publicly saying he’s proud of seto and believes he has the ability to run kaibacorps one day after a lil polishing. yes of course he stands behind seto’s engagement. their company holds progressive values that speak to the youths. of course he’s been lobbying the national diet to legalize protections for lgbt couples.

oooo i always like it when Jou gets the chance to shine. Jou deciding to fight for Seto instead of leaving, and being able to maneuver Gozaburo into a position where he must outwardly/socially support his and Kaiba's relationship. Gozaburo can accept it (for now at least) by, as you said, spinning the narrative so that he comes off as the good guy in the public eye. it would place Kaiba and Jou together on a team, knowing they'll face down Gozaburo again later. but he's no long an immediate threat to their relationship, at least.

another somewhat bittersweet possibility may be that Jou takes Gozaburo up on his offer and goes off to college in America, but Kaiba also goes with him (surprising Gozaburo), either with the excuse of expanding KaibaCorp business in America or just leaving it all behind. or if he doesn't do it immediately, Kaiba comes to the conclusion he doesn't want what Gozaburo may never give him so he chooses Jou over it. that one might be a little bit OOC, admittedly, but i think the story would be a massive hit with the press and general public, as Kaiba becomes a martyr in the name of love (which ironically might actually improve his public standing as the once presumptive heir of the company).
