Serena is so in love with Yuri, that face of hers tells everything LOOOOOL

Mini-comic thing based on @kitaro2709's edit!

(and also late Christmas-related post LOL)

Edit in question

Bonus(?):

[kitaro2709]

a pretty winter night, your hand in mine!

(drawn january 7th, 2022)

[kitaro2709]

Predaplant & Lunalights Monsters:Mom, Dad, can we eat those guys monsters?

Serena:Aww

Yuri:You can eat the duelists too, our babies

Serena:And their friends too

[kitaro2709]

"..I'm counting on you."

[kitaro2709]

Aaaaaaaa T_T Yuri and Serena deserved to be happy together.......😭

As i said earlier, hope that DL can give us good interactions of these two together, they deserve it

Also have you notice how Yuri looks so happy in that part of the ending?? He loves talking with Serena and also loves being with her.

Serena for the other hand looks like she is thinking "What is Yuri gonna say this time lol"

what hurts the most is what should have happened but didn’t

[kitaro2709]

||Day 25: Woe, Angst Be Upon Ye

Oh, would you look at that? Today we are gathered here for the express purpose of hurting our poor little meow meows and giving them more trauma on top of their existing issues! How fun!

... alright, fine, they might get a happy ending. No promises on that front, though. ||

@arcvmonth

ARC V Month Day 19 - My Heart Beats 'Till Overdrive

Once again another late post for @arcvmonth lol.

I didn't think I'd post anything for this day, but I went through some of my a-lil-old drawings on paper and thought of perhaps using them (even if they ain't that good yet :P)! Tho I aint sure if these count... Anyway!

(Its not that long but just to be safe—)

—

1. Random doodles of Yugo & Rin as cats :3 (might redo these one day)

2. Yugo doodle (& eye practice kinda!)

3. Rin's D-Wheel/Runner concept (its terrible lol).

First is the original and the second's a trace and colors. Some redesign attempts at the bottom (which is unfinished btw. I just have up after a while XP). Oh & get ready for some much WHITE (the bg is plain white so if its dark get ur eyes ready).

I apologize for the mess & unproportional-ness ^^'

The new color schemes sposedly like gold & bluish, but im not sure yet. Old one is green & blue bc of Windwitch Winter Bell.

Anyways uve reached the end of the post! I apologize for not posting much as of late :p

ARC V MONTH DAY 18 - D/D/D - Different Dimension Day

A kind-of manga-inspired AU (but not rlly? Idrk) Just a lil over 800 words.

A/N: HEADS UP i haven't read all of the manga (literally like only some chapters in, and I forgot reading abt it for a long time. Yeah I should go finish reading that soon… (from what I've heard, excluding that one scene, its good anyway. And it did pique my interest for a bit).

And bc of that, this doesn't take place in any part of the Manga (& only contains some elements from it if ud even count em) so its literally an AU. Also, Yuya & Yuzu aren't here. Let's say they're just sleeping somewhere in their head for this one.

This is kinda inspired by this post & one of @/tetsuya04's (not sure if I should tag u :,)) recent b-girls in the manga art!

Relationships: Light Yuto/Ruri, everything else is platonic (I'm getting bored of writing that lol...)

Warnings: exactly two ‘shit’ words i think

—

‘Over there, Ruri,’ a voice whispered into her mind. ‘That's him, right? Or at least the brother of the guy—the one we knew traveled from the past to this timeline, like us.’

‘Yes, Rin. That's him alright,’ Ruri thought back, peering at a certain boy from the corner of the small bar she was in.

‘Oh good, we finally got him,’ another voice whispered within her mind. ‘One of those Sakakis… Quick, we should get that USB from him while he's just sitting there.’

Ruri sighed. Serena, impatient as usual. ‘Yes, yes. I'm going.’

She stepped out of the shadows unnoticed.

—

‘But Yuri,’ Yuto thought as he drank some chocolate milk. ‘We're doing this for Yuya, remember…? It's for his sake.’

Things have been a bit complicated recently for Yuto and his brothers… And there was the possibility of Yuya knowing the truth and getting caught by Reiji…

Somebody accidentally fell onto him, making him spit some of the chocolate out.

He looked at the floor to see who it was, but he couldn't make out who they were as they sported a midnight blue cloak.

“Ahh, sorry…” The person apologized, kneeling to try and regain themself. By the tone of voice though, he made out that the person was female. “My mind has not been functioning correctly recently… and maybe I had a little too much drinks.”

Yuto smiled at them. “That's alright, ma'am. Do you need help?”

“Oh no, I'm alright. Thank you, though.”

When the person got up, Yuto saw some purple strands of hair spill from the hood of their cloak.

And when the person looked down on him, he was met with the most gorgeous pink eyes he's seen.

Something about them rang a bell in Yuto's heart and mind, almost enough to make him fully remember a memory…

A certain, small memory from a long time ago, one that seemed to be felt with joy and laughter.

It's been a long time since he's recalled something like that that didn't include his brothers.

‘Yuto-nii?’ Yugo called. ‘Why're you frozen? Are you okay?'

‘I'm fine, Yugo.’ “Well then ma'am, suit yourself. Be careful next time.”

“Will do.”

Another chord was struck.

That voice… He hadn't noticed it before, but it was… Familiar.

‘Hey guys… Does that person look familiar to you? And her voice, too?'

‘Well, it certainly made me feel something…’ Yugo mused, his metaphysical self seen only by Yuto and the rest of the brothers observing the woman with wild interest.

‘Yes, I agree with Yugo here. She sure does ring a bell, at least for me, too,’ Yuri agreed. That person sure caught their interest, and in an unusual manner, too.

Yuto decided to try and see who it was. He got up. “Excuse me, ma'am, but can you—’

‘Do you mind me asking about your name?’ Yuri interrupted. ‘Sheesh, know how to be polite, brother.’

“—do you mind me asking about your name?” Yuto quickly corrected, as even if it wasn't necessary, Yuri would continue to insist anyway.

“I do, actually,” she responded, although rather gloomily. “Why'd you want to know my name?”

With the other person, voices raced in her head.

‘Ruri!’

‘Oh come on, there you go again, falling for his charms.’

‘Says the one who keeps teasing her for crushing on him in the first place.’

‘Oh shut up, Rin. And that was years ago.’

‘Girls! Stop it,’ Ruri interfered. ‘I'll try my best… Gee…’

“Just out of curiosity,” Yuto shrugged.

Ruri looked down. “My name…” She paused.

‘Ohhh no…’ Rin said, clearly unamused. ‘Don't—’

“Ruri. Ruri Kurosaki.”

‘Ah, shit. Get ready for the chase.’

That was all it took for Yuto.

Suddenly, it was like a locked chest had suddenly been opened in his mind, causing a plethora of memories to rush their way into his—and his brothers’—brain.

‘What is all this!?’ Yugo exclaimed.

‘Memories, Yugo…’ Yuri clarified, also amazed at the sudden remembering. ‘Memories hidden and abandoned, left to decay and be forgotten because of the mission we set for ourselves to get Yuya out of this mess.’

“Ruri…” Yuto muttered.

If he recalled correctly, he was the sister of a dear old best friend of his, someone named Shun Kurosaki.

And also… His long lost crush. Her… Occasionally, he does think of her and her family… But to see her in person…

“Well, I'm off now,” Ruri nodded, pulling the hood of her cloak to her face, “...Yuto.” She walked to the other side of the bar, where another door was.

She knew his name!

‘Wait, if they're here too...Yuto, the USB, is it still there?’ Yugo asked, floating around him in search of it.

Yuto himself checked his pockets, but the USB wasn't anywhere in them. “Oh, shit…!”

He then looked at Ruri. “Wait, Ruri, how-how'd you get here!? And the USB—”

But before she could answer, she had already left the room.

Ending A/N: uhhh i wanted to post this on manga day but decided eh and posted it now.

Now this is just and idea, but I'm thinking of idk maybe writing one one day (don't hope on this too much ill prolly give up on the thing) myself? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ def with more emotion, influence of backstory, & other plot-related things when I may plan the thing.

But if someone else wud/cud do it, I might (emphasis on might) give it a read ;))

||Day 18: D/D/D - Different Dimension Day @arcvmonth

Canon divergence, modern settings, fantasy, sci-fi and series fusions...yes, ladies and gentlemen, today is the day. It's time to throw canon to the wind, because we're making our own stories through the wondrous magic of AUs! || I love doing role swaps about preatty much everything, and the manga is not the exception LOL IMPORTANT: -As you see, this is a role swap between Yuya and Yuzu (They are not related, as you can see Shuzo is still Yuzu's father) -Ruri is the oldest, then is Serena, Rin and finally Yuzu. -In this AU, Yuya is a famous entertainment duelist that Yuzu admires. It's because of him that Yuzu loves entertainment duels and tries to make everyone smile. -Serena is the most affected by the amnesia of Yuzu, so she isolated herself from everyone of her sisters, Yuzu has only see her two times Follow me in twitter :n --> https://twitter.com/Kitaro_S2709

ARC V MONTH DAY 7 - Of Amores, Per the Prophecy

I'm late again lol @arcvmonth Atleast just a few hours this time...

Anyways, quick lil sketch bc i didn't know what to write (which is why its messy and somewhat random. Also its clearer if u press on the pic btw):

YuriSere Photo Frame!

(The rest under this is just me ranting abt how much I love the ship & why btw)

I've shipped the two for a long time now lol...

The reason for this was bc I was like: So uh only the fusion counterparts don't have any canonical relationships, huh...

...

...

But then what IF they had? What happened, exactly, if anything? How would they differ from the others based on their attitude, the way they grew up & dimension they came from? How would they get along?

These were the questions—the questions that started it all.

Until now, I'm obsessed with whatever “what if”s abt em and still rlly wished I got to see em interact w/ each other more...

(Duel Links, this is so up to you now... Please, PLEASE...!)

Imma be repeating what other ppl say but another reason why I love them is their F*CKING AESTHETIC.

Blue, Indigo if u rlly want, Green, Purple, Pink, Fuchsia and/or Magenta... *melts*

And im already into space (not much with plants tho) and then there's BAM, EN MOON (also i think she the only one without the 's' at the end bc theres only one moon on earth), COSMOS. Then there's Yuri with his plants and the theory of him loving gardening—FLOWERSSSSS—bc Predaps bitch.

*whispers* Moonflowerssss

But uhm yeah. Behold, YuriSere, my one-and-only precious forever OTP.

(Also what I meant there by “idk what to write was bc most ideas i have of em are uh... Reserved to be written for the other fics i write. And ive started three drafts for today but didn't know how to end em.)

[kitaro2709]

@arcvmonth ||Day 7: Of Amores, Per the Prophecy

That's right, today is the day to celebrate your favorite ships of all time! Show us your sweet OTPs, OT3s, or any sort of polys, and spread the love all around! ||

i'm gonna be honest, i wanted to do a cute fanart of yurisere but at the same time i was "what if i do a drawing of how i think that is their relationship" that would be funny right (spoiler: isn't, but i like how it turn out)

i can see them as a couple, but also as really good friends-- their interactions in most of the fanfics are really funny

The next time i'm gonna draw a cute fanart of yurisere, i promise-

[kitaro2709]

|| Day 6: Understudy Spotlight

You ever see a character and instantly like their vibe... only for them to disappear into the background for all eternity? Well, here's your chance to take them out for a little spin! Show us your favorite background character today, and give them the shoutout they deserve! ||

would you guys believe me if i said that this is the first character that is not the yu-boys and bracalet girls that i draw

I like how Yuzu had a really good father, he really is someone that i was hoping to have more spotlight in the show…

also, i don't know how to draw characters that are not the yu-boys and the bracalet girls, asdjasd i tried my best-

@arcvmonth

[kitaro2709]

Yuzu protag... ❤

Day 5: Action Magic - Overpass

bracelet boys you say

[kitaro2709]

|| Day 5: Action Magic - Overpass

Whoops, someone seems to have mixed up our cast's scripts! Bracelet boys? Riding Duel King Kurosaki? What is this?? Whatever shall we do?? Show us your wildest swaps today- be it roleswap, bodyswap, or whatever else you can think of! ||

Bracelet boys with...emmm what is the term of the girls in this case? idk lolololol

Serena and Yuri are one of my favorite characters of ARC-V!! They are so cool--- and funny too! (Even so, i like Serena more-- she is just so cool...)

My headcanons for this Role Swap: -Serena probably is more cruel and don't care about the war, the only thing that she is interested is in making the Professor happy.

-Yuri doesn't care about the war or the professor, he just wants to get out of Academia (He probably most of the time is locked in a special room, bcs the professor needs him for the proyect) -Serena is aware that she is a part of Ray, and isn't worried about disappear after the proyect is done.

-Leo don't know the whole thing about Ray and Zarc, he thinks that Zarc is the villain- Sadly, for his desfortune he is gonna learn that his daugher is the villain in this story

-In this universe, Ray was a pro-duelist that can feel the feelings of the monsters, she go crazy because of all the bad feelings that many monsters have(? idk i really don't know how this can work. Zarc with the help of the power of his dragons fight Ray and in their battle the original dimension split up in 4

-Lunalight Cat Dancer in this universe is more generic monster in terms of summoning, nows requeirs 2 monsters of dark attribute. And the condicion of tributing a "Lunalight" monster to activate her effect, can be now used with the condicion of tributing any monster and not only "Lunalight" monsters.

And yes, Yuzu is the main protagonist in this universe-
