sorry for having Siegfried Thoughts™ again but i can't help but wonder what the timeline of his plan was for something this huge and insane!
how long had it been since Siegfried discovered Leon's a duelist? was he workshopping an early version of his plan while hatewatching Battle City? and how long did the hacking of KaibaCorp's security systems actually take?
we see Siegfried's infiltration of KaibaCorp as effortless: the man's just finished bathing when he starts the process! but i think this was all pre-planned - we see by the end of the tournament that Siegfried is exactly as obsessed with Seto as his father was with Gozaburo. there was no way Siegfried left anything to chance, and he was not as cool as he came off. i'm quietly amused by the idea of the extremely high-strung Siegfried planning an afternoon of luxury and relaxation just as he begins to fuck with the Kaibaland security systems, all in an effort to stop himself from going to pieces with the nerves 😭💔
this seems much more in-line with the Siegfried which slowly gets revealed as the arc goes on...the one who smashes the photoframe of him and Seto when they were younger out of sheer frustration; the one who has several maniacal laughing fits when he's defeated by Seto in a duel; the one who had to capitalise on his little brother's dueling prowess because he didn't think he could do it alone. to me, Siegfried isn't the cool, collected customer that Kaiba is, and that destroys him. everything about Siegfried screams insecurity, from the designer clothes to the one-hit-kill deck strategy. Siegfried wants to be Kaiba, and the way he reacts to any form of stress (except for Yami and Yuugi), so bad 🙈
perhaps this isn't everyone's view of Siegfried, but my headcanon is absolutely this brilliant, hypervigilant, hair-has-turned-lighter-from-the-stress man who has spent his entire life trying to be better than a guy he simply cannot surpass...because Kaiba doesn't feel the same way. i think of Siegfried going through years of stress prior to the tournament, with those cavernous castle rooms covered in scraps of paper and laptops running countless programs, all while he's nearly tearing his hair out trying to plan for every. single. eventuality 💔
realising while on my long-haired fancy fella kick that i never mentioned Elliott from Stardew Valley!! he's the one i've chosen to marry in the game (when i get back round to it) 🥴💖 who can resist a sensitive writer? (there's too many blorbos in that game…!!!)
Max Jägerman died, got resurrected, murdered four people, had wild intercourse on a football field, then immediately got his soul sucked into Hell. Honestly so real for that, we stan a king
The more you simp over European stereotypes who are simultaneously also the fruitiest fruit to ever fruit, the more convinced I am that if you ever decide to sit down and watch GX, Cronos de Medici would consume your soul
(Especially once the character development hits!! Like I think there're gonna be points where you're gonna get Baldi flashbacks of all things LMAO)
oh my god...Cronos de Medici.........that's Dr Crowler from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, correct? 🙈💖
don't!!!!!! for the love of all that is holy please don't plant the seeds of it being this guy 😖 i have zero knowledge of GX but he has been in the back of my head ever since i first saw Yu-Gi-Oh GX Abridged when i was tiny 😂💖
the........the androgyny and the style and the bastardry....ooooh, it's all quite worrying, isn't it? 😳 i've just started my rewatch of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters from the beginning...perhaps after that i should give GX a go and see what this fella's all about, hm? (putting this here as a reminder to put on my clown makeup later-)
this is the FUNNIEST interpretation of the KaibaCorp Grand Prix and i'm absorbing the AU immediately 🙈💖 amazing!!
consider, a twist: everything about Siegfried, Leon, and the von Schroeder's beef with Kaiba is true. however, Kaiba decides to quash this by giving Siegfried an impossible-to-refuse-business offer...if he'll come to the Grand Prix and play the supervillain 👀
not only would Schroeder Corp be saved from financial ruin, but the ever-dramatic Siegfried gets the opportunity to be as camp and sinister as he likes;;; he also gets the catharsis of "humiliating" his long-time rival on live television...and he gets to flex his duelling strats with his favourite cards! 😂
although in my heart i feel Siegfried is both completely himself and far too proud/conditioned to despise Kaiba to go along with such a scheme, it's fun to imagine 😉
if i was a spectator at the kaiba grand prix i'd be like 'this is so fucking staged'. yeah SUUUREEEE this guy managed to sneak in under a false name and he and Kaiba secretly have beef... yeah of course Kaiba's going to duel him honey did you really think he was going to sit out the tournament for real? IT'S KAIBA. yes of course this was planned Kaiba came down in his dueling coat with his briefcase of cards why would he do that if he was just going to disqualify the man. isn't it a little on the nose to make your superiority complex villain german? oh and come on now he has a "''secret younger brother'''' who ALSO entered the tournament? this storyline is ridiculous
