S5 Ep 3: Apdnarg is Really Hard to Spell

 Yo guys, people are getting vaccinated, the sun is parting through the clouds, and I felt so nice that I even stopped listening to quite so many throwback 00′s BTS mashups (and yet I keep clicking on these dissonant catastrophes thinking “this time it’s got to be better. This time they’ll figure it out.” and like, no. Turns out you can’t match Brittany’s Toxic with BTS’ Black Swan. You can’t do that.)

This must be a sign that things are getting better. If anything, it means my personal tastes are improving. I mean I only clicked on like 3 “Dark Academia” Playlists where I could pretend I’m some sort of spooky witch in an abandoned library with a bad music player and basic taste in classical music (like can we ban Satie from Youtube for a little while?). Hell, I might even do a prompt update to this blog!

Yeah, you heard me, I’m actually going to stay ahead of the update schedule for Yugioh Abridged (maybe. I haven’t actually watched cuz of spoilers, I just noticed the thumbnail pop up on Youtube and was like “Damn it, they came out of hiatus??? I got hurry UP.”)

Anyway, speaking of the sky parting.

I’ll have you know my bro said this is actually more like a circumcision and it was one of the worst thing I have ever heard.

We get a chance to take in this lineup of confusing and varied character designs, and Joey. who is...still Joey.

The animators probably had to hold a strike in order for them to put Yugi in the audience, lets be real. There are TOO MANY PEOPLE in this shot and one is wearing a turban where you draw every single wrap. I hope those artists charged by the line.

Tea has a subplot where she’s just very frustrated with everyone she knows. They have been traveling together for like many weeks and got trapped in a foreign country so I get it. But at the same time, it’s kind of hard to picture Tea with female friends.

Because right now you got this 12 year old child, the other duelist who does not care about anything besides cards, and Kaiba’s 3 dragon cards that we’ve all collectively decided are female.

Hell it’s almost like the writers are asking themselves why Tea is here. Maybe they forgot. There’s no more ghosts to bus, no more people to knock out with her ass with random Olympic feats. Tea’s just sidelining.

(read more under the cut)

Mokuba is a itty bit bit taller this season, and so I guess that means he can legally climb on top of the cherry picker in order to give a riveting speech.

Really says a lot about Mokuba that he is so unphased about talking to, I dunno...an entire planet of people. Kind of a shame we never see this courage from Mokuba used for anything other than talking really, really big and giving everyone around him a really hard time.

Mokuba takes a moment to dunk on Yugi Muto, as is Kaiba tradition.

And then introduce the first pair of duelists, which obviously must be between the few people in this tournament that we actually know and care about.

Thankfully, in between last episode and this episode, Yugi has figured out who his own Grandpa is. This is a relief, because Yugi is such a mess, that I was fully convinced it would take over half a season for him to recognize it. I mean how long did it take him to figure out he shares a body with a ghost? Like half a season?

Instead Yugi recovered gracefully from not recognizing his grandpa, but it’s not like he bothered to tell anyone else, so the rest of our cast is just gonna be like “Is he my hairdresser? The guy who delivers my mail? Who is this guy who made absolutely no significant changes to his outfit or voice?”

Like sometimes this show goes full Spongebob silly kid’s show and you never know when to take it seriously or not. They might be sacrificing the entire cast next episode. I really don’t know. But for now their big concern is who is grandpa??? Like an innocent card version of “Are you my Mother?”

Faced with public speaking, Yugi decides to have a melt down.

We have seen him face monsters, we’ve seen him on TV dozens of times, he’s been in multiple competitions...but give a speech? Of course he can’t do that. The kid doesn’t attend enough school to know how to do that. Them’s learning skills.

And that was when a newly assembled wife-jet spliced through the sky like a souped up razer scooter and deposited 1 fully equipped Seto Kaiba in a Buzz Lightyear jetsuit.

THE RECOVERY.

Seto always watching over his Brother, ready to save this awkward party if it kills him (and it really should, that suit is held together by two seat-belts), making sure to get on that platform before Yugi starts going off about how he’s half an Ancient Egyptian. (Ah, life before social media. You could just be hella famous and also half a dead dude and people would just not know. I kinda miss the time before I knew literally everything about everyone.)

Please admire how close those flames are to setting Mokuba’s heavily hairsprayed mane completely alight. It would be an unforgettable spectacle.

These were absolutely just random ass jet packs that Gozaburo Kaiba made to kill hell tons of people, right? Like Seto found it in the family cabin, clutched to the heart of some crispy fried corpse and was like “neat! Mokuba! I found a cool toy!” and just plucked that thing out of that skeleton’s clutches and has been flying around for months?

Like this is Seto Kaiba’s Butter Glider, right?

Seriously what type of vehicle license do you need for one of these things? RIP My ‘Seto only has a scooter license’ headcanon.

Which I’m only even thinking about because I’ve had to try and make an appt with the DMV for days to get a freakin REAL ID. I went to sleep in 2019 and I could fly on a plane. I woke up in 2021 and it’s like “Want one last screw you?” and just...can 2020 please stop screwing me over? It’s March.

Anyway, the Jet is removed soon after, so no, this is not part of his new outfit. He goes right back to his Post-S4-Trauma-Normcore.

After wrestling this competition out of his brother’s hands and confusing everyone in the audience, Roland must have gotten the memo to cut the microphone before Seto got too excited and we were quickly ushered on to the next stage of the tournament.

One sec...the BTS Mashup playlist I just clicked on did a Black Swan X 7 rings mashup and it’s the worst thing my ears have ever heard.

Holy crap. I had to actually turn down my volume. Like...Ariana Grande already has music that has way too many overlapping singing parts on it--and then lets just stick a 52-person boy band on top? That’ll fix it. Yeah. Go ahead.

Wow. Even I had to change the song and you know how much I enjoy pop culture mistakes.

Spot the Mickey but like a million times easier because it’s a Massive Dick Shaped Dragon.

Yep. That’s my grocery shopping outfit. Except maybe not a lab coat and a duel disk. Wish I had a duel disk, that would make social distancing just a hell ton earlier. Just a “Yo, only one person in checkout, please” and then bap them on the head with a propelled discuss/hologram.

Anyway, Grocery shopping/Doctor man dueled the Purple Hair Boy, and considering that Purple Hair got screen time and shook Yugi’s hand once--I think that Doctor man doesn’t stand a freakin chance.

Good. I hate him.

Also, every time he breathes he’s gonna fog up his glasses. I have experience in this area. He can’t read his own cards in the same way I can’t read my phone if I’m in the refrigerated aisle.

So the way this tournament works, is everyone has to sit in the stadium to watch the show. Kinda like showing up to a football stadium just to watch a recorded TV monitor...but then again...that is how it feels to watch a football game at a football stadium when it’s live (at least with the tickets I usually get.)

And as we watch Grandpa waiting for his competitor, we find out that his competitor (Joey) is too busy eating snacks to give him the time of day.

Why do cartoon hot dogs always have lettuce? Is that seriously supposed to be relish? Or is there a place in the world where you put lettuce on your hot dog?

Sorry, bro has just informed of his favorite hot dog order, which is absolutely terrible so I will share it with you: a Five Guys hot dog with ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, onions, mushrooms, pickled peppers, and you guessed it--topped with freakin lettuce.

My own kin. How am I over 30 and just finding out that my baby brother thinks it’s normal to walk into a restaurant with normal god-fearing law-abiding people and order lettuce and mushrooms on a hot dog?

I have fully failed him.

The rest of this episode is watching both Joey Wheeler and Mokuba have a shared panic attack while Seto does freakin nothing.

Please remember that Seto has both a jetpack and a dragon wife plane and could have easily solved this problem. But nah.

Then again, Seto Kaiba has given this crew so MANY rides, that maybe he’s tired of being the Soccer Mom for the team?

Like they don’t actually say this episode, but Seto was the one in charge of like...this entire place, do you think he made the 2 for 1 special just to get Joey where it hurts the most? Or does it actually not take any subterfuge to screw Joey Wheeler because he’s just naturally this way?

Like Mokuba wasn’t there when Joey was told “stay right here, and then we will all go together to fight Dartz” and Joey was like “I’mma save Mai from herself although she told me not to!” and then he Hella Died. But, Mokuba did see the result, AKA, Joey’s dead body being carried on the back of Tristan. Maybe Mokuba never realized that Joey died because he went out of his way to be late?

Lets do a tally of every time I can recall with my dodgy memory that Joey was threatened to be DQ’d/pretty much was DQ’d either by his own fault or no fault of his own

-When he wasn’t allowed to go on the boat to Murder Island because he was a stupid nobody kid who did not have a dueling glove

-When he wasn’t actually supposed to be in Pegasus’ tourney and was, in fact, secretly using half of Yugi’s entrance ticket the entire time

-when Bandit Keith stole the ticket that Joey got from Yugi so then Joey had to borrow Mai’s ticket although she had just used it so it really shouldn't have counted. Because, really anyone could have just piggy backed off of each other’s ticket until the whole boat went through that castle.

-When his account was hacked to get entered into Kaiba’s tourney when Kaiba very clearly told him he could not apply solely because he was Joey Wheeler.

-When he was late to his sister’s eye surgery because he got mugged by Marik’s Rare Hunters, so she almost refused to do the surgery.

-When Joey got possessed by Marik, and as Marik, threatened to murder everyone else in the tournament including both of the Kaiba brother’s who’s tournament it was, and then chained himself to Yugi Muto to throw both of them to the bottom of the ocean.

-I think there was a point when he threatened to attack Kaiba in Kaiba’s own tourney while not possessed? Like several times?

-when he got struck by Lightning and almost did not stand up fast enough after being struck by lightning, which is apparently a type of DQ in Duel Monsters.

-When he tried to save Mai from getting hit by a fireball, but then Yugi did it instead, and then so many people were standing on the dueling platform that Kaiba couldn’t possibly DQ them all.

-When he entered the restricted area of the blimp in order to hassle Kaiba into landing the Blimp, which Kaiba did not do.

-When Marik killed Joey before Joey could press the “go” button on his duel disk to play the card that should have won Joey the match.

-When he was dueling a lawyer in a digital universe but then the dice was like...weighted? So Noah had to walk over and be like “The hell is this weighted dice? This is my perfect digital world? How did you even do that?” and then Joey won because the match was no longer legit.

-When Joey yelled at Noah too much and so Noah turned Joey to stone for being a rude ass spectator

-When Mai was like “Wheeler and Valon, listen closely: do NOT murder each other” and then Joey did a murder on Valon so she was like “I guess I have no choice, I was very clear” and killed Joey straight up.

-When Joey decided to block Seto’s fireballs while Joey Wheeler WAS a playing card, somehow disrespecting both Dartz and Seto Kaiba at the same time.

-When Joey was playing cards but then got absorbed into a giant Leviathan and basically couldn’t play anymore after that.

-There’s probably hell ton of S0 stuff I just haven’t seen yet.

-This episode

And Joey runs fast for a montage of wacky things that really have no business being in a theme park. Things like this:

(remember when Bakura almost died from a rock that ended up being a balloon? It comes full circle.)

The stuff that the Kaiba brother’s think is normal and fun.

Anyway Joey fights off a bunch of hologram snakes and bats and everyone is like “Should we tell him it’s just holograms???” And it’s like wow, guys, how many times have these ‘holograms’ straight up murdered Joey Wheeler and everyone else on this cast? Too many? Because I have a google doc with so many deaths on it. 7,805,844,048, to be exact.

Anyway, he gets there with five seconds to spare and Mokuba’s like “well at least you were still entertaining while we filmed you in front of a live audience being a total spaz for 15 minutes straight, so I’ll let you go.”

Grandpa and Joey start playing, Joey completely oblivious that this is just an older Muto, while Hawkins walks up awkwardly and is like “hey guys. I’m so sorry about this.”

(welcome to my font choices, for those new here, I have to make weird font color choices to make sure it’s legible for the colorblind and also for the non-colorblind. This one is not much contrast, so I may change it up in the future, but for now, this is Grandpa Muto’s new font. I apologize to every graphic designer reading this. Please don’t tell anyone who has ever hired me for graphic design about this blog.)

What’s funny about this exchange is that after they find out that Yugi’s Grandpa is Apdnarg (HOLY my brain cannot get around the spelling for that, and I will not change it in the caps. I cannot do a ‘pdn’ ever again), they don’t stand on his side of the field or anything. Hawkins is legit Solomon Muto’s only fan during this exchange and like...damn. Way not to back your Grandpa, Yugi.

Yugi immediately strides up to Mokuba to non-confrontation-ally inform him that he has stepped over a line and Mokuba is like “what are these things you say called ‘lines?’”

According to Mokuba, Solomon Muto begged him to be in the competition so he could relive his glory days (glory days making no sense here, because the game has only been released for the past 15 years, so glory days is like...the before times that can only be referring to disgraced archeologists and Pegasus ((who is, in his own way...a disgraced archeologist, too))) and Mokuba was like

“You trained Yugi Muto, right? Hey that’s good enough for me. This drama is gold. People will eat it up. Hell yes. Don’t be afraid to abduct him a little bit. Maybe trap a couple people in a digital hellscape for a little while? Now we go by Pegasus house rules here, so fire as many lasers as you want, but just make sure not to hit anyone in the face. Oh man, we are going to be swimming in cash. Love it, Muto Sr, love it.”

But I dunno, I feel like Grandpa won’t make it past next episode. It is Joey. We kinda need him to make it past Ep 4 of the arc. If Grandpa Muto becomes the new Joey Wheeler, that will be a weird transition for this show to make.

But that’s all for today, as always, here is the link to read these in chrono order becuase there’s SO MANY that you don’t need to read backwards--don’t do it--just use the chrono tag (and I don’t know if you can add compound tags, but I did separate the Season from the Episode, so if you write S4, it should only pop up stuff from S4. I didn't’ do that to seasons 1-3 though because I just...didn’t.)

https://steve0discusses.tumblr.com/tagged/yugioh/chrono

And because I brought it up: here it is, the best BTS Mashup that I found on my deep dive. Like legit--this one isn’t a mess:

Most of other ones are horrible in a fascinating way. Like I’m not even a BTS fan, I think I sort of age out of that metric, I’m just bored and quarantined. And lets be real, we all appreciate a good bop when we hear it.

My contribution for the Free (!!!) BreadZine! Please take a look if you want to enjoy some real love for bread <3

Title: Magical Morning Fandom: Original Work Word count: 2257 words Summary:  Basically just lesbian witches who own a bakery and all its softness around it.

You can also read it on AO3! :)

A small ray of sunshine crept through the almost closed curtain, pinpointing itself right on Vera’s left eye as if the universe was out for her, not letting her rest a second longer. It warmed up her face slowly, making her eyelid flutter until the last of her sleepiness was gone. 

She blinked, scrunching up her face in the sudden light. Groaning, she rolled over and back again, trying to get the sun to go down again with her thoughts alone. Almost, just almost, her hand flicked the curtains shut again, but she knew better.

With a heavy sigh, she pushed the blanket back and sat up. The sun shining directly where her head had been laying was the only way to get her up, she knew that. So, to the sun’s credit, this was all deliberate to get her to wake up.

Vera, oh so slowly slid her feet into her slippers to make her way to the kitchen. As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, the smell of freshly toasted bread and brewed coffee wavered through the air. Vera followed it purely on instinct.

She opened the kitchen door and let the broom sweep by before she entered. The sponge was cleaning a few dishes over the sink, making a few soap bubbles that glittered in the morning sun and then plopped in front of the window. On the countertop next to it, her coffee and toast were already waiting for her.

Rubbing her eye, Vera blindly took the cup and downed almost half of it in one go. The hot liquid seemed to finally start her engine, making her sigh in relief. Mornings were definitely not her thing but it was all worth it, it was.

After emptying the cup with a second big gulp, Vera slowly spread some butter on her toast that melted and made the surface glisten. Toasted bread was just the superior breakfast food. 

Like it was brewing itself, the cup filled with steaming coffee again.  When Vera took the cup, munching on her toast, she heard the door open behind her and footsteps slowly approaching.

Fingers carded through her short, unruly hair, smoothing out some of the knots that formed overnight. Vera closed her eyes with a small sigh. The hands kept caressing her hair and head, slowly pulling it back to tie it into a low ponytail, though most of the hair on top of Vera’s head wasn’t long enough yet and fell back right away. It didn’t matter. 

The hands drew back and Vera was already longing for them again when warm lips kissed the back of her neck. All too fast, they withdrew and the footsteps walked back out of the kitchen again. 

Vera sighed for the third time this morning. Longingly, lovingly, content. Her toast and coffee tasted even better now. 

After finishing her toast and a second cup of coffee, Vera tossed the dishes into the sink, which earned her an angry floating sponge splashing some water on her, and with a spring in her steps walked into the bathroom.

After her morning routine to get ready and finally getting dressed, Vera made her way downstairs. Through the small window in the staircase, she could see that the sun was almost up fully, which made her walk a little faster. Even after years in the business, she never learned to be on time. And to be totally honest, she probably never will.

Upon entering the spacious kitchen downstairs, Vera was welcomed by the sweet smell of various cakes, muffins, tartelette, and other pastries. CC was standing on a small stool to reach the top of the cupcakes better she was decorating. The tip of her tongue stuck out between her lips as she carefully placed a cherry on top of the buttercream.

“CC,” Vera called out to her wife, considerately waiting for her to finish.

“Ah, Vera!” CC turned around, her frilly apron swirling with the motion. “Good morning!” 

Vera had always thought that CC’s smile was brighter than the sun, blindingly at times. However, it made her smile with her.

“Morning,” Vera grinned. She walked up to the worktable in the middle of the kitchen and placed a hand on CC’s hip who already pushed herself up on her toes, eagerly waiting with closed eyes..

“CC,” Vera giggled, “you’re on the stool, you’re taller than me right now.”

“Oh.” CC blinked, looking surprised. With a small step she landed softly on the ground and repositioned herself, feet rolled up on her toes, eyes closed. Vera was so in love.

She leaned down and kissed her wife on the lips, which made both of them smile.

“Good morning, my gremlin,” CC chuckled and stepped back on the stool, resuming her work. “I’m almost done, then you have all the space for yourself.”

“Take your time, sunshine,” Vera mumbled as she rolled up her sleeves standing in front of one of the numerous cupboards. They both knew this kitchen by heart and didn’t need to look for anything, so Vera already grabbed for the containers of different flours without really looking at them, kicking the door shut again.

There was some kind of rhythm between them and their way of working. First of all, they started to work at different times in the morning. Whereas CC flourished in the morning and could get up with the first sound of her alarm, Vera snoozed her alarm at least for half an hour usually, an hour at most. Therefore, they started their work at different times, with CC making the dough that needed to rise and the pastries. 

About an hour later, Vera came to work as well on all the different kinds of bread that would sell right then when they came out of the oven. CC would often use the half-hour in between to finish the pastries and to open their shop with a cup of tea on their back patio, listening to the birds and watching the sun rise slowly.

That’s why CC ‘humphed’ triumphantly as she placed the last of the cherries on the cupcakes, wiping her forehead with her sleeve. 

“Done!” she exclaimed, untying her apron. “Call me, if you need anything!” She rushed toward Vera to place a small peck on her cheek and then ran outside the kitchen again.

After putting on her own apron and hairband, to keep it from falling into her face, Vera washed her hands thoroughly before pulling out various bowls, both empty and some with already risen dough. Perfect.

Some of the bread, Vera did them so often she could probably prepare them in her sleep. These were the more “plain” breads that they have stocked in abundance for their regulars and walk-in customers alike. Bread rolls, whole-grain bread, brown loaf, rye bread, to name just a few. They were done the fastest, so Vera usually started with them.

Then they had some types of bread, their regulars requested and they had them in limited quantities such as naan, bap, stottie cake, and curry bread. Their customers came from all over the world and they had to keep up their reputation, after all.

Today though, they had a special order for brioche. The recipe was quite simple, even for Vera’s standards but it was for around 300 people. That was a lot of dough. And it was a constant kneading-and-let-it-rest type of recipe. CC had helped her prepare the dough last evening, so it could rest overnight in the refrigerator, with Vera waking up once last night to put it into greased pans and letting it rest again, so Vera could start with it right away in the morning. 

Vera finished cutting and shaping all the dough for their usual bread and put them in the oven for their respective time, before getting ready for the monster order. 

Both CC and Vera had the unwritten rule to never use magic in the kitchen: their bread was all hand-kneaded, each and every one of them prepared with care. (There was a lot of debate in their witch bakery circle about what it meant to be “prepared with care” because even if the dough was kneaded with magic, it was still with care, right? But they were still a long way from reaching a consensus.)

But for this particular order, they made a small exception. Vera would of course still knead everything by hand, but she used some magic to reduce her walking time such as levitating the bowls and ingredients around to have space and still have it right by her side. As well as not tempering with the ovens, but putting the baking trays in from far away and turning the ovens to the right temperature and such.

About half an hour later, CC poked her head inside. “You need any help?”

Vera jumped a little, too concentrated to get everything perfect. She shook her head with a small smile. “Nope, everything under control.”

“Great,” CC smiled but put her finger up, “don’t forget to relax your shoulders and stretch! You remember the last time we had to get you one of those fir needle neck pillows?”

Oh, yes. Vera remembered all too well. Her neck was stiff from all the kneading and rolling, which made her lay in bed all day with this pillow that kept on shooting needles into her muscles to relax her. How in the world would that be relaxing? But it worked, so she didn’t complain. No need for a repetition though.

She made a face and pushed her shoulders down, taking a deep breath.

“Good girl.” CC blew her a kiss and disappeared away.

While CC prepared the front of the shop, showing off all of her pastries in the windows, Vera resumed her quest to finish all the brioche in time. But she wasn’t worried. She was the best at making bread — she would never disappoint a customer.

They implemented a spell with which no one inside the shop could hear the noise from the kitchen, except themselves of course, but they could hear everything from the kitchen just fine. That was why Vera could hear the familiar chime of the front door being opened and the footsteps and voices of the first customers of the day. Right that instant, the first few oven doors clicked open, letting the smell of freshly baked bread float through the air.

Vera interrupted her cleaning, since all the brioche dough was in the oven already to get the trays. Just in time for the first order, Vera stepped through the bead curtain to reveal the bread and bread rolls. 

“Oooohhh!” came the unison sound of their customers, followed by a shared inhale and a bright smile with the exhale. 

CC and Vera’s gaze met. That was the moment all the stress and getting up at such an early time was worth it. That was why they were doing this. To see their customers smile without even saying a word. Just to make the morning of everyone else a little brighter with their work.

Person after person placed their order and Vera rushed in and out the kitchen to refill their display. CC managed the counter with a constant smile and even squished in some small talk to entertain the waiting crowd. A round teapot and coffeepot made their round to give out free cups with their breakfast or for the ones that were still waiting.

There was another chime from the kitchen to indicate that the brioche was ready and Vera made her way to the back again. The sweet smell filled the air, making Vera smile herself. Bread just had this kind of effect, huh?

Pulling out tray after tray, Vera drizzled the glaze over the steaming loaves that were already on the racks, until every single one was glistening. From experience, Vera always made an extra roll or small loaf for herself. She learned the hard way that she wasn’t immune to the desire to sample everything she made for a customer. Instead, she made a little more, sometimes even for CC if she asked to have a small piece herself. 

Vera leaned against the countertop, her gaze wandering from the window, the sun had now risen completely, illuminating their garden with various herbs and vegetables, toward the beaded curtain through which she could see CC talking to a customer.

It had died down in the last couple of minutes, the rush of the morning people who had to start working early finally ebbing down until the second wave that would definitely come.

Vera took the first bite of her small brioche roll, sighing with content. The dough was soft, she almost didn’t need to bite down at all; the glaze gave some texture and the vanilla added a little flavor. It was perfect.

When she opened her eyes again, CC was standing inside the kitchen, watching her silently, a smile playing on her lips.

“Having a break without me, I see,” she teased as she stepped closer, arms wrapping around Vera’s waist. 

“Mh-hm,” Vera confirmed, putting one arm around her wife. She held the bread inviting for CC who gladly took a bite, as well.

“Mhmmm,” she sighed, her cheeks puffed up and smiling. And Vera kissed her. And kissed her again. And again. Making CC giggle and struggling against her chest, but not denying her any kiss.

Sometimes all it needs to be a perfect morning is just you and your wife and a mini-brioche.
