ygo5dsmonth-week 2022 Day 4 - Red and Purple

“My brother’s body hosted two birthmarks - one Signer one Dark Signer. And so the Dark Signer birthmark took action, in attempts to totally seize my brother.“

So what if Rudger got rid off the the arm with the Dark Signer birthmark instead? Which might have been kinda hard, since the thing was starting to mind control him. But the Crimson Dragon’s power really should have helped then instead of waiting idly, the thing must have picked him as it’s first Signer for a reason. Makes me kinda wonder if Ancient Fairy Dragon was supposed to be Rudger’s dragon, since it was the one card that was left with him. And the one dragon that was dragged off by the spider...

Anyway his decision was probably hard to explain to the people around him, since there were actually people around this time, unlike the canon 5D’s timeline.

is it too much of a reach to say that zelda being reduced to basically an object to farm items from in totk just kinda adds more salt to the wound of how badly shes treated?

instead of fighting arlecchino, how about we kiss her on the cheek and ask politely for the materials like a good child would?

Im mentally chewing on the fact it's now Commander Scorch on his own working for Hemlock.

Like it'd be really fucked up if the reason he stayed and the others either didn't (as in they took a path similar to the books and got out altogether, they're some of the first clones eligible for retirement after all given their service records) is Sev and having to leave him behind. Or maybe the other's have since died. and he's the only one left to keep going. hooooo

kind of crazy how mike said in a moment of vulnerability and weakness that he wants to be needed and to be of use and good at something, and then a large chunk of the fandom just decided to validate all of his worst thoughts & fears and suddenly reduce him to a weak, incapable, mindless, unloved wastoid wimp that's everything his low self-esteem tells him he is and nothing like how the people in his life see him (or what the narrative itself has shown us since the very first episode). even crazier when the people that do that call themselves mike fans lol but i'm 😴😴😴

expanding on the universe (this time with sticky-nite doodles!)

we've already seen how The Jon is doing in the archives, now it's time for mr Sims to find his place in the Walter Manor

i imagine he might have crossed the dimensions after talking to Leitner in mag80 and leaving for a smoke. after all the weird things happening in the tunnels Jon took a wrong turn and ended up in a weird place with no doors (kind of comforting of you consider the Michael/door situation).

caught up in a different world with knoweledge of entities beyond human comprehension, poor guy just wants a cigarette to clear his head. this, of course, does not go unnoticed

i wonder why would he even think about being hit with a pipe. such an abstract concept isn't it

He gets cornered by GG, who aggressively encourages him to play a transverse flute instead of smoking. She suggests that he could find joy in creating music and travelling the world with "her robot band which was absolutely named after her". sceptical at first, he follows the tiny mechanical giraffe.

spending time with robots feels weirdly domestic after whatever the hell he went through, but he's still weary of them. but - he's killing it on the flute and he got his own outfit for performances too, so it's quite alright

having Thoughts abt the gin is miley's son theory i wanna talk abt,,

my apologies in advance if anything we say has been said numerous times already. this game is super complex w a Lot of content we are still working our way through, both from the actual game and within the fandom, so! bare with us please lol

anyway, so.

one of the most compelling things for me wrt the theory is that gin is targeted in pretty much every chapter by a trap. lots of things seem to be set up specifically so he, as a young child with a very pure heart, would be targeted. like the twist about the tokens in chapter 2, for example. which could be a thing because they're aware of miley's intentions and want to get rid of him to stop her.

i feel like,,, if the theory is true, miley's intention was to join the games as a floormaster so she could have power in it to ensure gin's safety. even if he's not on her floor, she has still shown to be manipulating things to ensure he makes it out, like with gashu, making sure everyone knew of his transgressions so they had an out if it was needed.

i feel like her goal would be ensuring that he wins so they can take down the games from the inside, since it's pretty universally accepted that the reward for winning is to most likely become the new asunaro leader.

and, easily, her motive could be tons of resentment for driving her lover mad and making him an alcoholic, and also resentment for forcing her son to participate in something like this.

it would also make sense for her seeming to hate sara and trying to target her. i'm sure the floormasters know what everyone's role is meant to be, including that sara is meant to be the winner. she probably holds resentment towards her for that, but. sara is also very clearly probably the most precious person to gin in the games.

he fully sees her as a big sister figure, to a point where she's the person he runs to first when he needs to be consoled and held during a breakdown.

if it came down to just gin and one other person, the others would protect him sure, but sara is the only one that miley would be able to confidently believe would do whatever it took to protect him. she has had that exact notion tested numerous times, and never falters on that desire, even if it comes with a brutal cost.

i just think this theory adds so many interesting angles to so many dynamics within the games. if gin is miley's son, perhaps she knew he'd get attached to sara, so she agreed to help ensure sara's victory because she knew she'd protect him and ensure his victory as well.

after all, maple confirms it is possible for two winners to win since a majority vote cannot be held with just two people. if miley can assure that sara wins, and sara had to come down to picking anyone over gin, sara would undoubtedly pick gin. the only person she might've picked over him is joe, and he's gone, so.

idk! i truly do not know but this is the theory i've seen that i've thought about the most and that compels me the most and i really cannot wait to see whether or not it comes to fruition in the finale, and How it comes to fruition if it is true cause it's. so good.

edit cause i just realized smth else: this would also explain what gin was doing when he went back down to the first floor and why he was safe. he was visiting his mom, and was unable to let the others know. it also makes sense as to why he's able to endure so much trauma and hardship at such a young age. he knows he has not just sara, but his mother watching over him and looking out for him as well.

What are you wearing

Academia again

What are you feeling

Intense bouts of depression

Oh. Because it's winter?

Because of them

I remember what it is to be happy

And then it is torn away

I remember everyone's capacity

To be nice or to be fun

And then I remember:

They are not nice because they choose to be that way.

I do not have fun because they choose to be that way.

Autism being the next step in evolution *Cries*

AWFUL FOUL WRETCHED HORRIBLE. PREDATOR 2018 DOESN'T EXIST. IT'S NOT REAL. IT CAN'T HURT YOU--

that movie is just. awful. besides the ablesim it also just shits on ALL the reestablished lore for the Yautja. there was an entire game about how altering their DNA like that was frowned upon in their culture. They don't even take Predaliens as trophies because they consider them abominations.

the first two Predator movies were the best ones and I stand by that. Predators was okay, Predator 2 was my favorite and added more to the Yautja and the first Predator is a classic. The Predator is easily the weakest of the movies. I can't say anything about Prey because I haven't seen it yet but I hear it's good. though after 2018 the bar was probably pretty low.

dusting off an old character design w this dude! his concept was “resident token human clown option in a visual novel lineup” but these days he mostly just does interior design

original draft sprite and flat colors under the cut!

Xmen 97 season one finale spoilers:

It's a credit to this show that I did not spend the whole episode going "EMPs don't work like that. It's a pulse, one and done. Magneto is no longer sending out pulses, he can not simply reverse that shit. "Professor" Charles didn't major in electricity and this thing Storm said about the planet being in magnetic distress makes no sense. Just commit to the bit, you want to go hard than commit to the consequences! Hey it would be interesting!"

I have an issue like that every episode but it rule of cools its way out most of the time. But yeah I did not forget that your show makes no sense.

I kind of want an AU were in season 2 and 3 humanity doesn't have technology to square up to mutants. The lasers with stun are out so people start picking up old regular guns. Inevitably some mutants would have also died in the global emp, not just non mutants. Mutants and humans working alongside each other is the fastest way to rebuild and stabilize society. Magnetos "declaration of war" as the show likes to put it, could be reframed into the thing that saves Charles vision of unification.

But noooooo. Apocalypse arc.

I’m really missing fluff for my ship. Like just cute moments with no drama. Honestly I just need more fics where he’s swooning over my queen. I’m not fond of messy situations despite writing some. Sure sometimes the story is intriguing and there’s so many emotions, but it’s mostly frustrating and I hate it. My fav has been through so much already, I just want the rest of her life to go smoothly, just let her live and be happy. No stress or worries, I want her to freely love and be loved in return

Addition that’s not really related but I didn’t want to make a new post:

I’m gonna be alone for a few days and I’m hoping I’ll be productive but man, times like this I really hate that I’m so extroverted. I’m feeling blue and I want to cry, but nothing’s really wrong. I just don’t well on my own. I tend to spiral and get too into my head. I really thought I would be free from a sad bitch summer vibe this time *sigh

Update: I did not work on CoAi week but I did look over the June prompts again and got my sister to laugh so I think that’s a win. It’s so dumb, I’m so dumb, but you know what? It’s my birth month so I’m gonna do whatever I want (I say as if I don’t strictly write self indulgent fics)
