Day 12: But You Still Take the Damage

@arcvmonth

I’m pretty sure this meme actually happened in the anime lmao.

[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-

Day 9: Light Across the Aether: Satellite Cannon Falcon.

@arcvmonth

I know there are mistakes (and it not being 3:2 irks me) but I was too tired to fix them. Hope the pic wasn’t overhyped. I don’t want to get an F in Fanart.

The Satellite Cannon Falcon sequence is my favourite part of Shun vs Dennis, which also happens to be my favourite duel/moment in Synchro. Raidraptors are also my favourite Xyz archetype (WHY IS FORCE STRIX IN A BOX!?)! and Sat Cannon, even after tormenting me with this pic, is still my favourite Xyz monster! This is partly due to how amazing the entire sequence is as well as the quality and variety of questions its mere existence provokes.

How does Portable Real Solid Vision actually work? Is there a maximum range? Or could Satellite Cannon Falcon conceivably fly to Mars and bring back rock samples?

How long does it take for Satellite Cannon Falcon to fly into space? If Shun were duelling in a sufficiently deep hole, would his turn run out before Satellite Cannon Falcon attacked?

If the sun were on the other side of the planet, would Satellite Cannon Falcon have to miserably fly back down and peck the opposing monster to death with its tiny beak?

Does Satellite Cannon Falcon use lasers? If Satellite Cannon Falcon uses lasers, then why does it take 20 seconds for the laser to speed of light its way over to Dennis?

Before the development of real solid vision, did Satellite Cannon Falcon still fly into space? Or did it just decide to start doing that once it gained real mass? Is Satellite Cannon Falcon secretly Shun’s most dramatic monster?

Shun can’t see what Satellite Cannon Falcon gets up to in space, right? Does Shun have any headcanons?

Is the Satellite Cannon Falcon sequence we see in the show actually Shun’s headcanon? Does this present the possibility that Satellite Cannon Actually does something much goofier? If so, what?

How is Satellite Cannon Falcon?

Why is Satellite Cannon Falcon?

Is there a way for me to Turbo Satellite Cannon Falcon in Dlinks? Put your Decklists in the replies.

None of these questions require answers (except 10), the less explained the better. Funnier that way.

@arcvmonth Day 12: But You Still Take the Damage!

No bg on this one cos I was super unprepared for this one... I was spposed to color it throughout the week and just... couldnt find the time to get around to it. Ill try to be more prepared this week!

Yoko: Good morining Honey! What would you like for Breakfast?

Zarc: The souls of the innocent!

now that i've gotten your attention, hi!!

I'm pasu, and this show has consumed every facet of my being ever since I got into the fandom two years ago. it's such a well of inspiration for me; it's as if my attention span shattered into more than four different dimensions because everyday is a battle to decide which arc-v WIP to work on (this is a call for help)

yuya is officially my no.1 but off the record he takes turns with yuri and also yugo, everyday my brain spins a wheel to decide (sorry yuto)

speaking of yuri and yugo i am absolutely very very normal about them

Above all else, I love LOVE making comics!!! both silly and angsty, just about everything under the sun

Animations are also fun!!! I want to make more... (i crave the vj boys moving like a drug because it's the least they deserve)

One time I was really intent on making a yuya + yuri MV for Onoken's cover of IFDD so I guess I can call myself an editor (/j) someone please take these sprites and make my dream come true i'm begging

I also have some fangames i really want to continue work on but my attention span suffers for anything moderately tedious without a deadline...... (this is another call for help)

Speaking of WIPs... Last but not least, here's a link to my ao3! (it's mostly pawn atm but i love writing introspective yuri-centered stuff too)

My main goal is au day because finally, something to kick my butt into gear to organise all my aus together into one post

happy @arcvmonth everybody!! the fun has only just begun i leave you with yuya plush

[arcvmonth]

ARC-V Month is 5 days away!

[oddeyesarcpendulumdragon]

another late @arcvmonth prompt fill but I have decided to be nice to myself and just do things at my own pace

Anyway this is for Day 5, role swap, and I decided to dabble a bit in the Fusion-XYZ swap that used to be popular back in the day

Main art is of Sora and Shun's swap since they're the most prominent roles. Shun's outfit is semi-based off of Kaito's, as in XYZ instead of Obelisk Force, they would have the Number Hunters. The actual Number Hunters would wear an outfit pretty identical to Kaito's white coat design, but Shun's is a little different (the way Sora's is different from Obelisk Force) because he's trying to be a spy and all lol. I kept his signature colors/palette, I just wanted to make him look a little sleeker since he's not coming out of a civilian life where he got fucked up by a military invasion.

For Sora, I decided that since Academia is no longer a military school, their uniforms would end up being pretty much the same as they were in GX. I wanted to alter Sora's design a bit to show that this was a different universe, so I changed his jacket to be more like an actual GX jacket (still Obelisk Blue because come on he's still a good duelist lol), and his shorts are based off of Rei's uniform in GX, cause idk boy just looks good in shorts. Added a cloak because he had to be sort of incognito at first, like Shun and Yuto with their masks, and because even in canon all the Fusion kids are always wearing cool cloaks haha.

I have more thoughts under the cut but I don't want this post to get too long:

So basically, the swap's premise is that Leo goes to XYZ first and starts his child soldier grooming program there instead. This means that Academia is a normal duel school, while Heartland becomes essentially one big child soldier factory. Leo spreads his influence to multiple Heartland schools and connects them into one interdimensional army network.

Shun and Ruri are still siblings. They grew up together, and when Leo came along and started militarizing the schools, they just kind of got swept up in it. Leo located Ruri rather quickly, but since she already had some family ties, he couldn't isolate her as easily. So he rolled both Shun and Ruri into some of his more elite training squads.

Ruri is still kept in Heartland, but now she has not only Leo, but Shun also telling her to stay put and that she shouldn't participate in the invasion.

Shun is still very young when Leo gets ahold of him, so he swallows the whole "we have to destroy this other dimension for the sake of universal peace" pretty easily, and gets very gungho about it, because he wants to protect the world for his sister. Ruri also swallows the story, and wants to be a hero like her brother by fighting the "bad guys."

Meanwhile, Academia is just an ordinary school with ordinary kids doing ordinary stuff. Sora is just another student. He's super smart and good at dueling, but doesn't have a lot of drive to impress anyone and is considered a problem child. This gets him to butt heads with the star student of the school, Selena, who is annoyed that Sora is always lazing about, while Sora is annoyed that Selena is always nagging him.

You may ask, where are the dragon boys in this scenario? I'm glad you asked!

Yuto is still friends with Shun and Ruri, however, Leo has been taking steps to isolate him from them by sending him on lots of missions of his own. I didn't draw yuto cause I didn't want to try and design an outfit for him, but he plays a similar role to Yuuri: his job is to go and find girls that look like Ruri. Leo tells him that Ruri is special and there are girls like her who need to be found and taken into protective custody. Unlike Yuuri, who was very sadistic in his own way, Yuto is very genuine. He truly believes he's doing the right thing, and that in and of itself is terrifying. When he faces an opponent, he's always trying to comfort them, like "it's okay, being carded doesn't hurt, it's going to be all right." Which is scary! To most people!

Yuuri is another smart student at Academia who sees no need to prove himself to anyone, like Sora, so the pair of them tend to get along. He's one of those annoying kids who never studies but gets an A++ on everything he does and he has a big head about it. Yuuri's a bit of a prankster and a tease, so he also annoys Sora just as much as Selena does - but he annoys Selena far more.

Anyway, the invasion hits them HARD like it did the other way around in canon. Some of the elite students of the Academia barricade themselves in the school and defend with siege tactics as a last-ditch rebellion. Yuto is sent in to collect Selena, but Sora encounters him first. Sora challenges him and loses. But Selena arrives in time and threatens to make Yuto's job hell trying to chase her down if he cards Sora, but that if he lets Sora go, she'll go with him quietly. Sora blames himself for Selena's kidnapping, and the guilt drives him to find a way to get her back.

Unlike Sora, who in canon didn't have anything to do with the invasion, Shun actually is sent to Fusion as part of a strike force where he really racks up the card count and is considered a super powerful soldier. So Leo entrusts him then with the mission to head to Standard to keep an eye on Reiji.

Things go sideways for him though when 1) he notices Pendulum summoning and 2) he meets a girl who looks just like his sister.

So Shun goes to You Show instead, deciding this is a more effective use of his spying. While there, Yuzu ends up asking him to teach her XYZ summoning, which he agrees on account of her reminding him of Ruri.

So at this point, you can kind of guess where things go. Sora and Shun clash, Ruri runs away from Heartland to see if she can help her brother, and she meets Yuzu, who tells her to get the whole story.

Ruri arrives just in time to see her older brother throwing Sora down a flight of stairs after beating him in a duel, and she's horrified. How could her loving older brother do something like this? Shun is also horrified, because Ruri turns on him. He has no choice but to end up retreating back to Heartland, and Ruri stays behind.

Shun starts to switch sides a little faster than Sora did in canon, because now it's personal. At first he thinks that Ruri's been brainwashed or coerced by Reiji, so he's furious and desperate to take revenge, but once he has a chance to think about it, he starts to consider how Weird his childhood is and how much Leo was always trying to separate him and Ruri. So he starts to investigate what's actually happening - plus, he thinks Yuzu was kidnapped, and he feels guilty for getting her involved.

As another swap, Dennis and Sayaka switch places. Dennis is back in Academia trying his damndest to support the rebellion, but he's terrified and hates himself for his cowardice. Meanwhile, Sayaka was groomed into becoming a spy. She didn't end up becoming friends with Ruri in this continuity, so Ruri doesn't recognize her when she joins the Lancers - but Sayaka did still meet Yushou and was enamored with his dueling style, like Dennis was. She's quiet and sweet and wracked with guilt for everything she's done, but is too afraid to stand up to Leo and the Number Hunters.

anyway this is getting long! You can probably extrapolate some stuff from there :) maybe i'll do more scribbles about this au again sometime.

||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

Day 13 - Abyss Beneath a Smile

@arcvmonth I saw the prompt for antagonistic characters and just knew I had to draw Yuri for it, since he's one of my favorite characters in arc v, so here he is!!

I also wanted to include the lineart, since I really like how it turned out :]

[oqs-art-corner]

ARC-V Month Day 13: Abyss Beneath a Smile

gee, i wonder who it is

this might be a bit of an eyestrain (tho knowing Tumblr quality, it prob just looks normal), so sorry bout that

the “purple” looks like this as i attempted to emulate the Flipnote way of getting “purple” (it’s more red since that’s the closest to Yuri that seemed to fit (plus the  “light purple” is just red and blue used equally)

i’ve never drawn out any Predaplants before, so sorry if they look off cuz of my style
