I had a dream the Devilman manga got censored which pissed a lot of people off because it also censored the gay stuff and this was one of the "edits" in the censored edition

On the spectrum of cold disconnection to intense love/fear/betrayal, Seto Kaiba is all of the above.

I also found it kind of upsetting that Yubel stays in the form they gained after being corrupted by the Light of Destruction (I think that's right?) after merging with Jaden, rather than getting a new form closer to how they looked before they were corrupted.

I disagree on this one! Not actually a fan of "power of friendship can magically revert you to how you were in the past like nothing happened." Far, far more endeared to messages like "what happened to you and the terrible things you did will not disappear and will always be part of you and the world but you will move forward anyway." A more grounded type of optimism, a more holistic form of redemption.

It's so hard not to spoil them in treats when they look like this

I'm wondering if, as a society who cares about vulnerable people, we could stop saying "traumatize" when we truly mean "upset"?

I am sick of hearing sad books or movies "traumatize" their readers. I simply do not believe that happens. A traumatic experience might be adjacent to books (I have vivid memories of books I was reading around certain experiences and even how the contents of those books affected my processing of the experiences). But it's not caused by the book. And, y'know. The weather is Christofascist Censorship Attempts outside.

Meanwhile from the other side I continue to be surprised at just how badly people fail to understand trauma and traumatic experiences in general. Watering down the term isn't helping. Find other hyperbole to express that The Bridge to Terebithia gutted you, chewed on your heartstrings, and made you cry your first pair of contact lenses right out of your preteen eyes.

I've done it -- I expanded on this.

There's a miniature chapter 2.

And now a roughly 2K word chapter 3 that gives a peek into the Ishtar's side of this alternative universe.

The Storms

1429 words (may possibly get a continuation in time)

A version of the world where Seto Kaiba has inherited the Millennium Rod and finds himself in a strange place.

Surprisingly I wrote something AU-based.

Ryo Asuka was canon gay and homoerotic so that [insert so many characters here] could be ambiguously gay and incredibly homoerotic. (the idea that shonen never intends it is frankly stupid)
