#kaiba don't be rude

[millenniummmbop]

I think kisara should see kaiba the exact same way villain enjoyers see their blorbos here on tumblr dot com

[chimerickat]

"It's Kaiba-sama to you," he says with a sneer.

You ignore his tone knowing that you've spoken rudely even if you don't quite understand how. Surely he's just reacting to that. "I thought you used sama for the Emperor?"

"Are you an idiot?"

You stare at him, trying to figure out if he's attacking your Japanese knowledge or if you should know that he's part of the imperial family. Since you've established your poor Japanese already, you go with the second option. "So are you like a cousin or something?"

He pinches the bridge of his nose and looks down. He's silent for a moment.

Then Mokuba runs up to the two of you, holding his first place medal. He hugs you, and while you're sure that's inappropriate in any country, you pat his back as you try to take a step back.

Kaiba grumbles something that sounds like a curse. Then your brain translates it as, "Americans."

I finished Noah's Arc

My descent into villainy begins.

@lostsomewhereinthegarden wanted to be tagged in this one 💕

Voice acting:

I have no clue what any new characters sound like in the sub, so this 4kids performance only.

Noah: round of applause he sounds fantastic.

Gozuburo: he needs to sound more like he smokes

The Deep Sea Warrior guy: I forgot what he sounded like

Crump: he sounds weird

Johnson: Why is his voice so deep? Why is it so deep? He sounds like a big scary monster.

The robot: I wasn't paying attention to him

Lector: nice. I like his voice.

Dark Magician Girl: it's really annoying for some reason.

Flame Swordsman: hot voice

Serenity's deck master: I don't like it.

Characters:

Yugi: that sure is Yugi. He gets more screentime than usual and that's a nice change. I love his interactions with Téa after her duel, he's so sweet it makes my dumb shipper brain go crazy.

Yami: he sure does duel. He insults Noah a few times, and is mean to Kuriboh in his first duel.

Téa: QUEEN. If Kaiba didn't exist this would have been her season.

Joey: That sure is Joey. It killed me every time he thought of Mai. Bro wants her back so badly.

Tristan: he was robbed. He deserved to duel again.

Duke: this man is so fucking rude like what the hell? I love him tho he's funny and silly.

Serenity: this poor girl blames herself so much. It was not her fault that Tristan died. It was 100% Duke's.

Seto Kaiba: why is he like this? He's so cool.

Mokuba: precious baby wanted to forgive Noah so badly. He said they were family. He said Kaibacorp would help build him a robot body and they could be twins. I'm crying.

Noah: Why was his backstory handled better than the Ishtar's? Why? This is a filler character and I felt worse for him than Marik. Maybe it's because he's a better duelist idk.

The big five: they exist

Gozuburo: his love for Noah was so conditional, I hate this man. I'm glad he's dead.

Important note

Deck Masters are a thing. I like the idea of them.

Duels

Duel 1 - Yugi vs Gansly

Yugi chooses Kuriboh as his deck master and is upset about it because it was an accident.

Gansly is his own deck master.

Most of the duel is Gansly explaining the rules to Yugi and using cards that either don't exist, or are really bad.

Yuugi wins using Kuriboh, Rainbow Bridge, and Gaia the Fierce Knight to attack Gansly directly.

Duel 2 - Téa vs Crump

There was so much Téa fan service in this duel and before this and after this duel. It would have been distracting if this duel wasn't hype.

Téa picks Dark Magician Girl as her deck master, and Crump uses himself/Nightmare Penguin as a deck master.

Crump uses Penguin cards and cards like Cold Wave (Rest in Peace King) to gradually turn Téa into an ice sculpture.

Téa uses cards like Maha Vailo, some equip spells, and Mirror force to help herself, but due to still being a beginner mirror force gets destroyed.

Téa is getting guidance from Dark Magician Girl on how to duel, and ends up using Sage's Stone to special summon Dark Magician.

Téa wins the duel.

Also, Crump wanted to build a penguin themed amusement park, but that's not important.

Duel 3 - Joey vs Johnson

Joey stumbled into a court room after thinking he found his way back to the blimp. He was tricked by Johnson who was pretending to be Mai.

Joey's deck master is Flame Swordsman and Johnson's is Judge Man.

During this duel, Joey is using his deck master's special ability to raise his monsters attack points, but then they all get destroyed.

Now Joey is putting his faith in his gambling cards, but Johnson is cheating and making it so Joey can't use them

Noah catches this and calls out Johnson, but Joey says it's fine as long as he doesn't cheat anymore.

Joey ends up winning.

Duel 4 - Tristan, Duke, and Serenity vs Nezbit

I wasn't paying attention to this duel until Tristan died.

I still wasn't paying attention after he died.

Duke and Serenity win, but Nezbit got to take control of Tristan's body and now Tristan is Robot Monkey Tristan.

Duel 5: Kaiba vs Lector

This duel was too short.

Lector's deck master is Jinzo and Kaiba's is Lord of D.

During this duel, Lector is using cards like Jinzo and Imperial Order to make sure Kaiba can't use spells or traps. He also uses Injection Fairy Lily. I miss her. I miss my Lily.

Kaiba catches on to Lector's plan and makes him lose too many life points to keep Lily and Imperial Order on the field, then he summons Blue Eyes White Dragon and destroys a Satellite. I'm pretty sure 4kids censored this scene, because there was a weird jump cut from Blue Eyes attacking, to the debris falling.

Duel 6 - Joey and Yugi vs The Big Five

The big five are using Tristan's body to duel, and they're doing alright with early Umi Control. Then Johnson ruins it.

Yugi and Joey fuse their deck masters The Big Five fuse their deck masters.

Uhhhhhh

Yugi and Joey win and we never see the Big Five again.

Important stuff that happened

Mokuba got kidnapped and brainwashed.

Kaiba and the gang found out that Noah was Kaiba's step brother.

Noah is being really creepy to Mokuba.

Duel 7 - Yugi and Kaiba vs Noah

This duel is so long

Kaiba is really trying his best and is kind of winning, but Noah is reciting the Bible and using Mokuba as a shield so Kaiba loses because he is a hardcore reddit atheist and loves Mokuba.

Yugi calls Noah a hypocrite and combines his and Kaiba's deck.

Kaiba and Mokuba are turned to stone at this point.

Yuugi keeps talking shit and then Duke gets turned to stone. Nothing of value was lost.

Noah has to activate his deck master's second ability because Yugi destroyed the first one, and now Yugi has to fave Shinatu or whatever his name was.

Noah keeps raising his life points and he's using Spirit Monsters

My honest reaction to spirit monsters.

At least we saw Yatagurasu.

Noah is turning Yugi's friends to stone every turn, but Téa gets to stay alive for one more turn because she's just cool like that.

Yami summons all three Dark Magicians that he has ,but Noah destroyed all of them.

Then Yami summons Blue eyes and wipes out Noah's life points.

Yugi won and Kaiba wasn't happy that Yugi used his deck.

Duel 8 - Kaiba vs Gozuburo

This duel was also too short.

Gozuburo has Exodia and it gave Kaiba PTSD.

Kaiba has to send all 5 pieces of Exodia to the graveyard so that Gozuburo can summon Exodia Necros.

Necros is invincible and Kaiba's all like "You still take damage dumbass"

Gozuburo raises the attack of Necros, and Kaiba banishes (or puts them back in the deck I forgot) the Exodia pieces that were in the graveyard.

Kaiba wins and Gozuburo tries to take over his body anyway, but Yugi saves him.

Important stuff that happened

The squad was looking for an exit with Noah

Noah was told he was disappoinment so many times.

Mokuba accepted Noah as part of his family

Noah went to the real world to help the gang get their bodies back.

The island is about to explode.

Téa, Tristan and Serenity get their bodies back first

Then Duke and Joey

Then the rest of them.

Noah traps Gozuburo in Cyber space.

The island exploded

The End

☆꧁✬◦°˚°◦. ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ .◦°˚°◦✬꧂☆

So this was basically my very first edit when I was slowly getting myself back on the YGO hype train. Thought I fixed Val's hair since I tried to match more the YGO style so it doesn't look like that now lmfao xD. This was basically my very first edit when I was slowly getting myself back on the YGO hype train and back into the story I made 11 years ago ; u ; .

I am gonna write a little story under the cut for anyone interested in reading it !!

I don't know how long it might turn out to be so I am just gonna write a little summary of the concept of this image that I made.

Basically this was their official first encounter (other than the very first one but he just saw her for like a mere moment.)

It started when Seto detected on Yugi's duel disk the use of a card that he had destroyed a long time ago , that's right it's the Blue-Eyes White Dragon (There is a different origin behind that but it's still connected to the main plot) . So he went in to see it for himself upon how Yugi will 'stoop so low' to tape up a card and use it against him , but little did he know that someone else was using it. Yugi and Kaiba get into a small argument , Val stood in the middle of the whole argument and she couldn't live with the idea that someone was taking the blame , Kaiba basically claiming Yugi of 'cheating' for using a ripped card , she steps up and speaks up. Of course Kaiba ignores her from the start , but after she shows her own 'evidence' of the card , he quickly shifts his attention to her.

Of course a lot of questions begin to form into Kaiba's head as he is trying to figure out where on earth some random girl would even have her hands on such a powerful card. His prideful and rude attitude however doesn't even flinch when he directs his words towards her. Eventually he challenges her to a duel on the spot and she has no other choice , so she accepts the challenge. Yugi lends her his own duel disk for this short lived battle.

She doesn't win , but she doesn't lose either. Before the duel can get to a certain point Kaiba had to leave urgent because his system had detected a use of a 'God Card' as much as he wanted to claim the Blue-Eyes first , he was after the God Cards prior , so he basically dropped the duel in the middle. Before he leaves however , Kaiba asks her if she is a participant in his tournament which she responds with a 'No.' He didn't waste a moment before he pulled out a duel disk out of the helicopter he had arrived in and threw one at her direction and said the following before he felt "I better see you at the finals , so I can rip that card out of your hands. " It came out more like a mock than an actual praise coming from his mouth since he doubted that she would reach them , but since she had her hands on such a powerful card in her hands he didn't lose hope just yet on the matter , because no matter what he was going to claim that card and destroy it.

Hope you enjoyed reading it.

// HNY everyone!!! :D

Pls heed the cw tags before reading past the cut.

*dumps this monster whump on the dash and runs away* //

"...The dragon flaps its mighty wings, and then..." Seto glances over his shoulder and sees that Mokuba is sound asleep, before he could even finish the story. He smiles as he quietly folds the book shut and slowly rises from where he was sitting on the bed. He gently shuts the door behind him and heads down the hall.

"Seto!! My BOY!! C'mere!!" Gozaburo beckons him over boisterously. It's New Year's Eve and he's been entertaining and drinking with coworkers and colleagues and the like. Seto feels his mouth run dry as he gets a look at everyone in the room, red-faced and grinning stupidly at him. He greets them silently with a bow and hurries to Gozaburo's side before he has to tell him a second time.

"Yes, father?" He asks sullenly, still feeling all the eyes in the room on him.

"Why so grim, Seto? Always so serious..." He grips Seto's shoulder and practically forces him down onto the seat next to his. "Sit."

"It's almost a new year, son..." He begins, putting on a pantomime of paternal affection for his idiot drunk friends. He reaches over to grab a carafe of dark amber liquor, fills a glass about halfway and hands it to his stepson.

"...Which makes you a year closer to manhood. Cheers." Seto clenches his jaw. I'm fucking 12... he wants to say, but his mouth remains shut tight.

Gozaburo clinks his own glass to Seto's before downing it like it's water. The boy hesitantly raises his glass to his lips. The whiskey smells strong and sickly bittersweet, and his blank expression involuntarily twists into a grimace. He can hear snickering from the other men in the room.

"Oh for Christ's sake Seto, DRINK." His stepfather commands, and Seto empties the glass with a single gulp so he can hopefully retreat to his room. He shuts his eyes tightly as the alcohol burns going down his throat. It tastes as bad as it smells. A tremor runs through his body as the warmth settles in his chest, and he coughs into his free hand. He can feel his face grow hot. The snickering around him evolves into hooting and cheering.

"'Atta boy!! That'll put a little hair on your chest, eh?" Gozaburo remarks with a hearty chuckle and, without hesitation, refills Seto's glass along with his own.

"Father, I--" he begins to object hoarsely, but Gozaburo won't hear it.

"This is an expensive vintage, son. Don't waste it," he scolds. "Consider this a reward for all of your hard work this year," He says this with a smile, but there's a challenge in his eyes. "Before you know it, you'll be drinking with us after a long day of work, and you're gonna need to keep up!! As a Kaiba, you have a reputation to uphold." He continues to lecture him as he rises from his seat.

Seto obediently takes another swig of whiskey. It's slightly less unpleasant going down this time, but not much. When he finishes this glass several minutes later, he rises from his seat, preparing to excuse himself as his stepfather is distracted handing out cigars to his guests.

"Gentlemen, it was a pleasure. Happy New Year to you all, and get home safely," Seto courteously bows again and feels the blood rush to his head. He was moving a little too hastily and he barely got that farewell out without stumbling over his words.

"I didn't excuse you!!" Gozaburo shouts through the cigar clenched between his teeth. "You can AT LEAST make it til midnight. Then maybe papa will read you a bedtime story," he mocks as he strides over to Seto, carafe in hand, and pours him a third glass.

"...Apologies, father." He replies stiffly. Normally he would have snapped back at an insult like that, but he can't bear the thought of getting smacked in front of a room full of people.

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to our guests!" His stepfather chastises, prolonging Seto's embarrassment.

"...Beg your pardon, sirs. That was rude of me." The apology earns him a placated grin from his stepfather as he lights his cigar; a few of the guests merely nod in acknowledgment, and the room nearly falls silent as cigars are being lit and puffed on.

Time passes at an agonizingly slow pace--this horrible year just refuses to end. Some of Gozaburo's associates take interest in Seto and start questioning him about his studies and his ambitions as the heir to the Kaiba Corporation. The air in the room becomes thick with cigar smoke and it makes his stomach turn and head ache, but the liquor makes it easier for him to fake a smile and lie through his teeth. He just parrots the responses he knows Gozaburo and his sycophants would like to hear, and it seems to go over fairly well.

The antique grandfather clock finally tolls Midnight, and the room explodes with cheers. Gozaburo's booming voice cuts through the din as he raises his glass in the air.

"A toast-- to Seto and the future of KaibaCorp!!" His toast is returned with an enthusiastic, collective "Hear! Hear!" and everyone raises their glass to join Gozaburo's before drinking again. No sooner than Seto taking that last sip does his gut churn, deciding that everything must go. He immediately turns and makes a bee-line for the door, setting his glass on the nearest surface and covering his mouth with one hand.

But it's too late. His body forces the whiskey out, violently. The room erupts into raucous laughter as Seto is keeled over, heaving and retching. Gozaburo, the loudest of them all, makes his way past his guests and over to his inebriated stepson.

"What did I tell you about wasting this booze?!" He slaps Seto on the back so hard that he falls over face-first into his own vomit.

"Mhahahaha!! Better luck next year, son!!" Gozaburo is the only one left laughing. Seto lays motionless on the floor for a moment, stupefied and completely humiliated. His eyes well up with tears.

No. no no no no nonononono...!! He scolds himself. He's able to pull himself up to his hands and knees, but seeing his mess on the floor and all over his clothes makes him ill all over again. Gozaburo shouts for one of the maids, and two come running.

"Get the boy cleaned up and put to bed." He orders with a sneer. One of the maids hurries to the nearby linen closet to find something to wipe up the floor while the other gingerly helps Seto to his feet and walks him down the hall, slowly but surely. "It's alright, Master Seto..." she coos once they're out of earshot. What little energy he has left is spent focusing on keeping one foot in front of the other and he just stares blankly ahead, saying nothing.

A while later, Seto is still kneeled over the toilet in his bathroom, his breath ragged and hair stuck to his face with sweat. He hears his bedroom door creak open, but doesn't look up.

"Big brother? ...Are you okay?" Mokuba whispers fretfully as he approaches.

"...'m fine, Moki... Jus sick..." He rasps. "Sorry for waking you..." He whimpers and his shoulders rack with silent sobs, but he's so dehydrated he can't cry even if he wanted to. He looks awful, Mokuba worries. He's pale and sweaty, breathing heavily, slurring his words. His eyes are bloodshot from all the strain of dry heaving for god knows how long.

"Don't be sorry!!" Mokuba kneels down by his brother's side and pats and rubs his back, like Seto does for him when his tummy hurts. His hair isn't long enough for Mokuba to need to hold it back for him, though. He's not quite sure what to do. Then, the little one has an idea. "I'll be right back!"

A few minutes later, Mokuba returns with a glass of iced water and a pack of crackers.

"Hope this helps," Mokuba says, doing his best to smile reassuringly. Seto smiles back lazily, gratefully accepting the help and taking the glass of water in hand. Mokuba unwraps the crackers and hands them to him as he eagerly gulps the water down.

"...Thanks Moki.... you're... the best."

Day 26 "Why are you here?"

Reader x Seto Kaiba [Yu-Gi-Oh]

With this tournament going strongly, Kaiba would finally have the Egyptian God Cards. At least, he thought so... until he saw his next opponent was you.

How was he supposed to handle this situation? The two of you were dating sure, but Kaiba never knew you dueled. Even worse was how both of you kept your relationship under wraps. So was he supposed to act like nothing was wrong? Or should he risk losing his possibly one chance to corner Yugi?

"Something wrong Kaiba?" You were acting so innocent, "Just don't hold back."

He was a little too pissed when you winked at him. Pissed at how his heart fluttered, pissed at the fact that you didn't tell him about this hobby, and pissed that he never figured out a contingency plan for this.

"Why are you here?" Kaiba hissed, "You'll ruin everything."

That... that stung. You physically winced at the accusation. It wasn't like Kaiba to be this rude. Even if the two of you were in public, he at least treated you like a friend. You contemplated forfeiting... wondering why your lover was so hostile.

Kaiba might have felt terrible for snapping, but it worsened when you simply turned tail and stepped off stage. He didn't know what to think.

Homesickness (Drabble)

Requested by: @shachou DO NOT REBLOG.

“…and that’s how the pitch meeting went, Nii-sama! Between all these fresh ideas, it should make Kaiba Land Canada another successful destination!”

Another successful day in his new position, it would seem. In all honestly, Mokuba's never felt more at home in a work position. While it certainly was very demanding and did not allow him the flexibility he had before, the actual work itself was actually fun and exciting. Perhaps that's because he has not attended a financiers meeting and has mainly been overseeing the creative side. Regardless, he just had to share his escapades with his brother via video chat, making sure to schedule times when they would both be available for chats like this. They had a sixteen-hour time difference now, something he had been made painfully aware of throughout his first few days here when he tried to call his brother, only to wake him up by mistake. There have been some growing pains for sure during this transition, but so far, he's been doing alright. A lot better than he thought he'd be. Little did he know that was all about to change.

"So, what have you been up to? Anything exciting you wanna-" That's when his brother informs him that his next appointment was already in the virtual waiting room. Was their time together really over already? It felt like they just started talking! Guess time does fly by when you're having fun, huh?

"Oh...Okay." There is a noticeable dip in his spirit, but even so, he forces a smile. He can't have his brother worrying about him. "I don't want to hold your next meeting up. Thanks for chatting with me, Nii-sama! I'll text you before I go to bed, okay? Have a good day at work, and don't forget to eat!"

Mokuba then presses a button on his keyboard, ending the meeting right then and there. It was unlike him to stop talking to his brother so abruptly. The action could be taken as rude, quite frankly. The younger Kaiba just didn't want to take up more of his brother's time than was allotted. It's not like he was a kid anymore where that might have been possible.

As he leaned back into his sofa, and Mochi taking her usual seat on his lap, his mind wandered as to what to do now. His schedule was completely empty for the rest of the day, with no obligations to anything or anyone. Normally he'd use this chance to go do something, either go out to do something fun with friends or enjoy his brother's company at home. Such options were not present to him now; he had to remind himself.

While it was true that his close friend and now right-hand Akatsuki was here in America with him, having his own space that was located a floor below Mokuba's, he had gotten a nasty cold the other day. The ninja was insistent that the CEO now stay away from him until he's healed to prevent transmission of the illness, meaning spending the night with him was off limits. Even trying to hang out with his friends remotely was also not an option, for it was the early morning over in Japan, and they all had duties to do just like his brother did.

He truly had no human he could talk to. No one he could spend time with or play games with. He knew such a truth came with his relocation. It was the biggest thing, other than his brother's well-being, that made him hesitant to go through with this. So far he'd be fine with things, for he always had someone or something to distract him. Mochi's presence certainly helped; his hands kept busy stroking her fur, but she could only do so much.

His heart is suddenly struck with a deep pain as the reality of the current situation hits him like a truck. A hand moves from his feline companion's back to sit it over the now beating organ. He wasn't having a PTSD or anxiety attack. He knows those feelings are different and come with additional symptoms. This was different, a negative feeling he hadn't ever felt before, but once he thought about it for a few moments, he came to be able to determine what it was, a feeling people warned him would probably come sometime after his arrival.

"I...I'm homesick...That's what I'm feeling right now...isn't it?" He talks aloud, not expecting an answer since no other humans occupied the current space. The somberness in his tone causes Mochi to nuzzle her head into his palms, which is an attempt at comfort. Her actions, while certainly appreciated, do little to quell the feeling in his heart that seemingly started to seep out in the form of tears from his eyes.

"I miss...I miss spending time with Nii-sama, even if it was just sitting in his office together...I miss Isono driving me around and helping me with things...I miss working on Spherium with Yugi...I miss those ice cream outings with Ki, where she'd tell me all about her recent tours and upcoming songs...I miss spending time with my friends, playing games and going to Kaiba Land together...I miss everyone back home...so much..."

No noise but that of his sobs escape his lips for the next while, Mokuba unable to do anything but follow the wave of his emotions. Eventually following them leads him to one of his bookshelves, specifically the one that housed all his photo albums and scrapbooks. He grabs the most recent ones, both the vacation album he made for himself and his brother and the one from this past year. He flips through their pages, hands gently over each picture as he takes them in.

Seeing his loved ones, especially his brother, instead of providing relief, only made him feel worse. As always, it seems the past has a profound nostalgic effect on the young CEO, to the point where his heart yearned to return to the past, which would prevent him from enjoying the present. It was a complex he's had since he was young, and one that didn't seem to go away even with age, it seemed.

"Now that I'm here...Will they all...forget about me?" Mokuba's hand finds itself over his graduation photos, ones that featured just about everyone close to him in one way or another. "Move on...Like I was never a part of their lives at all...?"

He then moves to find the locket around his neck, opening up to reveal the original picture of his brother inside and the graduation photo of them both, which he had put inside it not too long after the event. This object, ever since its creation, had always served as a comfort to him, but just like everything else, it only made him miss his brother more. He brings the object to his chest, holding it there protectively in a movement that one almost could say looked like a hug.

"Nii-sama...Nii-sama...!"

The rest of his evening is spent in his depressed state, the younger Kaiba barely eating his dinner before going to sob into his pillow in his bedroom. He purposely turns his phone off to prevent himself from accessing any photos, not realizing by doing so he cut off contact from the people he was missing. That evening was the first one he didn't text his brother before he went to bed; Mokuba ended up crying himself to sleep as he continued to feel the agonizing feeling known as Homesickness.

miho for the ask game :)

First impression: Honestly didn't know she existed until like two years ago because I actively avoided Season 0 because I hated Kaiba's green hair. I first became aware of her after getting into the fandom on Tumblr and thought she was evil because of how I first saw her being talked about

Impression now: Turns out she wasn't evil! Just a girl character. I thought she was really fun and it was nice to flesh out the main group a little more through her. I would die for her. Kind of wish she was evil at least once though because I did kind of like the vision I had of Miho as a redeemed villain girl while I was still learning about her early on

Favorite moment: She had a lot of hilarious lines I can't remember off the top of my head, but I also did love when she decided to pick up Capmon herself. Was nice to see her get her own designated game (even though I'm sad they took that from Mokuba, though that's not on her, Season 0 as a whole really fumbled Mokuba and Death-T imo).

Idea for a story: I just want her and Kageyama Sister C to be weird girls together. What do you mean I have to make this myself for it to happen.

Unpopular opinion: She has done nothing wrong ever, in her life.

Favorite relationship: The imaginary one she has with Kageyama Sister C in my head. Anzu too for ones that are real.

Favorite headcanon: Not super into horror movies per se but really likes like, that kind of cutesy horror merch that has like slashers surrounded by hearts and all that. (I don't mean that in a rude kind of way, I think content like that is fun)

[im-tempted]

I have no clue about anything in Yu-Gi-Oh and the closest I can understand is it's kinda like Pokemon or Beyblades or something??? Honestly I don't have a clue and want to understand your rambles more lol

GOOD QUESTION

ok so original yugioh was just a normal fighting manga where the basic premise was a teen boy would be possessed by this unspecified ghost who'd solve all the problems (ranging from rude teacher to straight up armed robbery) by playing 'punishment games' basically just like a random kind of card/dice/puzzle game through playing that game whoever the shadow was playing against would lean into their vices more due to the weird dimension they played in bringing out a persons base desires

than he'd like curse them when they lost to hallucinate or be trapped in cards of whatever unimportant

YUGIOH IS IN NO WAY THAT ANYMORE

the game yugioh is actually a parody of magic the gathering called Magic & Wizards (at the start it did get a name change) that was supposed to be a one off chapter with a throwaway rich boy named kaiba

then a bunch of people sent the author to many letters about pivoting the whole manga to just being about Magic & Wizards

and so he did

that's where we move into the Duelist kingdom arc and the start of the anime that was translated and that introduced western audiences to the property

at this point the card game still didn't exist in our world

at this point the plot spun a little wildly out of control (if you where asking about the plot just tell me and I'll write another of these I love talking about it) leading to all the stuff i normally yell about on here

just for full transparency i work on translated manga and the 4kids time line I have never gotten around to watching the sub even if I've heard great things (there are a few DM (duel monsters the OG show) time lines it's a whole thing dw)

then yugioh was like labled as one of the largest tcgs in the world huge competitive thing but you're exactly right that it's kind like those two's anime except the product came after it became a popular book not the other way around

Yugi: *internal monologue* don't stare yugi don't be rude just keep eating ur burger and don't make eye contact. God he's cutting such small bites too.

Oh god oh no he caught me making eye contact quick yugi change the subject

Yugi: glad u guys could finally join us for a bite out after saving the world!! ^^

Kaiba: Whatever loser it was on the way

Kaiba: *internal monologue* yugi has been glaring at me for the past 18.25 seconds and now that I've stepped up to his challenge he's "glad I'm here???" HMPH. I won't fall for ur silly little friendship traps yugi I kno the game you're playing. God u think you're sooooo clever don't u trying to lure me into a false sense of camaraderie so that I let my guard down at next week's tournament. U play a sick game yugi but I'll always be 10 steps ahead of u come hell or high water I WILL crush u under my feet and u will finally bow down to me as the TRUE KING OF GAMES AHAHAHAHAHA-

Mokuba: *internal monologue* wait why is no one else using a fork

dEFINITELY THAT FAKE DATING (iii) (This person wont stop bugging me, can you pretend to be my partner so they'll go away?)

“Excuse me?”

You faintly registered the words but kept your eyes down on your book. Maybe if you ignored him, he’d go away.

Then a hand landed on your book. Horrified, you pulled your book back and recoiled away. When you looked up, the man invading your space offered you a smile. You wished you could offer him your fist to his face, but he was much bigger than you.

"Sorry," he said, "but I just had to tell you that you're stunning."

"Thanks." You moved closer to the doors of the train, hoping he wouldn't follow.

He followed. "And you're reading too. I'd never expect someone who looks like you to be smart."

Then he grabbed your shoulder and forced you to face him again. "Hey! Aren't you going to thank me?"

You double checked the next stop. It was two stops too soon for you, but you knew the area. It was in downtown Domino. You could easily lose this man in the crowd.

“Sorry,” you apologized, not wanting to risk getting him angrier. “I’m just in a bit of a hurry.” You tried to smile as you waited for the doors of the train to just open already.

You didn't catch his response. The doors opened with a ding and you pulled away from him to dart out onto the platform. You kept going, almost running as you barreled through the crowd, intentionally squeezing through groups of people.

At the escalator to the top, you paused for a moment. You glanced around, holding your breath. Then you spotted the man. Your stomach clenched as you made eye contact with him.

He made his way to the escalator, clearly following you.

You tensed, thinking of the best option at this point. The area around the station had plenty of restaurants, but most of them were lunch places that served the local businesses. You could dart into a cafe, but then what? You couldn't actually call the cops until the stranger did something and by then it might be too late for you.

Still, you hurried up the last bit of the escalator, pushing past people in the hopes that they would angrily block anyone else.

On the street, you looked around for the nearest place. You hoped that maybe if you disappeared, you would lose the stranger.

A man sitting alone across the street caught your attention. He was at a table on the outdoor patio of the cafe, working on a laptop. As you ran across the street, you thought, please don't be a psycho, over and over. It was a prayer to anyone listening that this would work.

It had to work.

You dropped yourself into the other chair at his table. "Please pretend you know me."

He looked up, a frown already on his face. You recognized him immediately. Seto Kaiba.

Before he could say anything, you reached out and grabbed his hand. "Please." You squeezed it. "I'm being followed by a creep."

He stared at you for a moment. Then he said, "You can sit here, but don't talk to me." Then he pulled his hand away from yours and went back to work.

You leaned back in the seat and took out your book. This was better than nothing. Seto Kaiba, unofficial ruler of Domino, had his own police force. Nobody messed with him. You could sit and read at his table until he left. Hopefully the stranger would be gone by then, but you could pay for a taxi home at that point just to be safe.

"Seto! You didn't tell me you were bringing someone?" A teenager grabbed a chair, dragging it over to the table. He sat down with a grin and held out his hand. "Mokuba Kaiba."

"Don't encourage her, Mokuba. She just sat here claiming someone was stalking her."

Mokuba sat up straight and looked around. "Really? Who? Point him out."

"Um." You looked around for the stranger. Kaiba's presence should have scared him away, but he might still be around.

Kaiba shut his laptop. "It doesn't matter. It's time to go." He stood and looked directly at you. "Are you coming with us?"

"What?" Your question sounded rude. You wanted to take that word back the moment you said it. His question had caught you by surprise.

"My brother," he gestured to Mokuba, "is going to insist we make sure you get home safely. So rather than argue with him, I think you'd better let me drive you."

Well, you weren't stupid. "Yes, thank you." If your creep were still lurking somewhere, going home with Seto Kaiba would be sure to stop him.

Mokuba frowned as the two of you followed his brother. He grabbed your arm, forcing you to lag a bit. Then he whispered, "You can tell me the truth. Were you just on a date with him? Did I crash a date?"

You laughed. Kaiba had been on his computer, and you had been reading your book. Nobody walking by would have confused that for a date.

But then when Kaiba opened his car, he ordered his brother to sit in the back. "I have longer legs!" Mokuba protested. "I should get the roomy front seat."

"It'll take longer to drop her off if she has to get out of the backseat."

Mokuba didn't think that was a good reason and said as much, but his brother ignored his grumbling and glared at him until he crawled into the back.

Once the car started up, Kaiba brought up the map on his display and asked for your address. You offered to just give him directions, He insisted on the address. "I'd rather you not talk while I'm driving."

He was giving you a ride home, so you didn't argue the fact.

Mokuba asked some personal questions about you. Where did you work? What did you like to do? Were you seeing anyone? Would you like to date his brother?

His brother interrupted the last question, telling him to stop.

When Kaiba finally pulled up in front of your place, you hesitated with your hand on the door.

You turned back to Kaiba. "Thanks." You smiled and looked him straight in the eye. "I'm sure that guy harassing me was just a jerk, but you never know, and well... I'll sleep better knowing he couldn't follow me home."

He grunted, and you took that as your cue to leave.

Nobody believed you when you told them that Seto Kaiba, of all people, had rescued you from a creep.

But then, a week later, a dress arrived on your doorstep with a note.

"You can return the favor next Saturday."

[kaiba-fangirl]

Even when YGO was first airing in the US, once I got internet like a year into it, I remember "Puppyshipping" being THE most popular ship. Certainly was at least one of the biggest.

The discourse was about whether it was abusive, but it was all incoherent nonsense on both sides, with varying degrees of seriousness. I might've posted 1 time on the kaiba corporation forum my own opinion: in-world, yes abusive. in-fics, usually abusive. does this mean ppl shouldn't do it? nah, whatever. I understand why the dynamic interests people. Ship and let ship. Not my ship, though. Could never be.

...cuz...

See, my brother & I -unused to anime aside from Pokemon- thought we should root for only Main Character TM, but soon after jumped on our faves. Mai & Kaiba for me. He stuck with Yugi more to annoy me, & Joey as the blonde underdog in green (like himself; & this smelly green soccer jersey he never changed or washed cuz it was his "Joey shirt" 🤮).

So for me, it personally always felt skeevy to ship my faves with my brother's faves.

I started getting over it once Joey became obsessed with Mai in Waking the Dragons, but the little-brother-protector thing id with Kaiba was still stronger. Plus my brother spent the season annoyed with Joey's pining & hating Mai for her betrayal, so that helped disconnect them there.

I didn't really get into it the slightest bit til I came to tumblr, & I was part of the convo to rename it "violetshipping" to address the unwelcome default feeling of an abuse undertone & instead focusing on their complementary parallels & contrasts (which we all casually agreed was ok, canon, ic, but shouldn't be assumed within the very ship name), around the same time my relationship with my brother began deteriorating. So even though I got him into one last hurrah with DSOD, he's basically been lost to the right.

Tumblr's format also makes it a lot easier to stumble upon lots of things that just go by on your dash. I don't even remember seeing any puppyshipping fanart in the old forums & webrings of geocities & DeviantArt & AOL image searches, cuz I never searched for it. Read a couple fics trying to give it a chance, but they always ended up grossing me out with characterizations alone.

.

But ya know what I never did? Never actually called it incest, even though that's what it felt like to me in my own unique experience. & I never said *anything* to people online who shipped it. I did talk about it with friends in school, where you would've seen my full body language reaction for "I don't wanna be rude - I'm just reeeally not into it - cuz my brother - so I don't wanna talk about it." Which was perfectly fine & accepted!

Who *did* I ship Kaiba with? Well, most in-character? No one. As in he would actively choose no one. As sexy as he was, I didn't see him being interested in pursuing any kind of relationship or sex. (It would take another several years before I ever saw the term "asexual," to which my first reaction was, Oh! Like Kaiba!

I've used the joke of shipping him with money.

But once I found Silentshipping, I was hooked. They had interacted ONCE when Serenity yelled at him, & he was just like "Uhh..." where if it were a Disney movie, that'd be where he fell in love but hadn't realized it yet. Then they NEVER interacted again. Serenity hardly had much of a personality beyond "nice." It was a perfect blank slate to make anything up! & she was perfectly generic for girls to project onto, without fear of being called a self-insert or Mary Sue -the biggest worries of the time.

But I also loved how it connected Joey & Kaiba as, usually, either eventually or at least effectively, brothers-in-law, still pitted against each other. To me, it was sooo much better than actually putting them together.

.

It is sooo easy to not call everything "incest" that merely feels like brothers to you. It is sooo easy to not harass others for what they create, especially when they purposely help keep away anything you may not wanna see.

#16, #17 and #18 for the Writer Ask Meme, please.

16) Do you have a method for getting characters to sound/feel in character?

This is an interesting one because I prefer manga and sub characterization over dub characterization, so rather than trying to make the characters sound like Eric Stuart or Dan Green, I'm writing dialogue that's technically in English but theoretically in Japanese. And working with a basic, haphazard understanding of Japanese, both Kaiba and Jou are rude and vulgar, Isis is ultra-formal, Atem and Yuugi are generally polite (although Atem is slightly more arrogant), etc. And from there, combining that with their various affects, education, knowledge of the world, and attitudes - I write Kaiba as using ten-dollar SAT words and 'fuck' in the same sentence, and he says most things with his full chest; I write Yuugi swinging between sympathetic, people-pleasing, and judgmental/critical (when pushed to it); I write Atem as evasive in a way that turns conversations/questions back on the other person, and making statements that let him save face or hide that he doesn't know what he's doing, etc. I also like to write Atem as more formal because of his upbringing - I don't know if there was a high/formal Ancient Egyptian compared to a low/casual Ancient Egyptian, the way there used to be in English (formal you vs. casual thou) but something about Atem saying "I cannot" vs. "I can't" sounds, to me, like a more accurate reflection of his bearing and affect...

17) Do you have any wips that you can tell us about? What are you most excited for in your wip?

I'm VERY excited for all three of my YGOME prompts and just have to choose one. For at least two of them I've spent some long hours just daydreaming and coming up with some fun one-shot plots. I'm also trying to think of ways I could fold all three of them together, despite three totally different ships and scenarios...

The final chapter of WYWH! is also coming along swimmingly (rimshot). Some of the prose I've written for this chapter falls among the best prose I've ever written... I'm super excited to finish it and share!!

18) What's the most obscure thing you've researched for a fic?

How fast human bones deteriorate in tropical/humid environments, again for WYWH!

[x-atlas-x]

Okay, um, so the trans Atem fic. Tell me *everything* about it, I want to know so bad—

Pretty please? 🥺👉👈

Of course! Thank you so much for asking, I'm really happy that you're so interested in it/my other projects!! <33 This one got hella long, so I deeply apologize about that :,)

I've barely talked about this project of mine because I chose to publish my Unhealthy series instead, which features trans Yugi and non-binary Atem. I always get self-conscious about posting multiple fics where the characters aren't cis out of sheer fear that nobody will enjoy them (or accuse me of feminizing/sexualizing, which is never the case).

This story revolves around Yugi heading to school, only to discover there's a new student (Atem) there that had moved from Egypt over the summer. Immediately, the both of them get off on the wrong foot, bashing heads and being rude to each other. It's not until Atem walks into Yugi's grandpa's game shop presenting as a male that things start to take a positive turn.

Yugi reassures Atem that he won't share his secret about him being trans, promising to not out him. They exchange numbers and begin talking with each other, getting closer through text messages, phone calls, and sharing most of their school classes.

Atem, unfortunately, has extremely strict parents and he has to keep his secret from them. He has to attend fancy, preppy events for their exhibitions at the museum with a date (who winds up being Kaiba, as they've made a deal to always be each other's date for them).

During one of these events, Atem has a hard time dealing with dysphoria and being referred to with feminine terms/pronouns. He calls Yugi and begs him to get him out of there and, of course, Yugi comes to his rescue, dragging him off to a random park nearby. They start talking and Atem brings up the fact that he needs a date for the next event (Kaiba has something interfering) and Yugi happily agrees to go with him.

Both of them grow closer until the event comes up and one of Atem's enemies shows up - Akefia (aka, TKB, yeah we're using Akefia). He's always held Atem being trans over his head as blackmail, using it for sexual endeavors or else he'd tell Atem's parents. At the event, Atem refuses to give in. Things start to go terribly wrong from there. (At this point, I should clarify that most of the characters are 18 and all in their final year of high school).

Akefia exposes Atem in front of everyone at the event, including his parents. Atem is horrified and ashamed and rushes out of the place, Yugi quick to follow him. Atem comes to the realization that he's going to be kicked out of his own home and Yugi offers to let him stay with him.

The rest becomes Atem getting comfortable enough to come out and openly identify as a boy, starting a relationship with Yugi, and Yugi facing his own problems (because I'm not gonna make Atem have all the problems, we're an equal distribution community here).

I stopped when the story reached December and Christmas time because for some reason, I can't write about Christmas. I don't know why, it's a curse. I've always bounced back and forth, coming back to work on it occasionally, but... Even the notes that I do have for it just aren't helping me out.

The reason why I started this fic was to personally help me when I was unsure whether I identified as trans or not. It was at a time when I finally felt comfortable to start going by a different name (which never happens in this story, but y'know-), coming out to some of my friends about it, and working on openly expressing my identity.

I wrote it during a dark time/period of my life, which is why I've been so hesitant to work on it or post anything of it. I've debated rewriting it, which seems to be the issue with every project I have. I think that's why I tend to stick to shorter projects since I have a difficult time handling bigger ones (that's what she said).

Anyways, I, uh, hope you enjoyed this rambling! You asked for everything and I do indeed deliver >:)
