sorry it’s early and i’m brushing my teeth while the sun is rising since I passed out last night before I got the chance to, and we’re getting genuine sunlight for the first time in weeks, and I’m busy contemplating just how ridiculous this series is

#ridiculous probably isn’t the right word #it’s more just… funny?#i just…. i wonder what tcg only people think. just in general about the card game #it is. so funny looking at a character like for instance seto or ishizu who is over here having *genuine* in depth relations that have to-#-do with familial bonds and the idea of living up to something or being the bigger person *for* their family #and also having to acknowledge that they kick ass when it comes to a children’s trading card game #like on one hand i am going absolutely crazy with grief and emotions over whatever happens in this insane series #and on the other i am busy following a. card game. that carries the same amount of importance #am i??? articulating this well enough #with how *i* view this series i think it’s absolutely bonkers that the card game came from this #because now in modern day it has NOTHING to do with the original series #it’s just… a card game. but it still came from something this story oriented. that’s literally so crazy to me idk why #that’s why i always glare at the reviews about the anime or the movie and how it’s only for marketing purposes #like yeah you’re probably right but that wasn’t *initially* the reason for it #this was originally to tell a story. not to sell a card game #sometimes i forget this series even centers around mainly that #it’s… interesting to me that people can play the card game and not know anything about the original series it came from #and they’re allowed to do that!! i’m not the fun police people can do whatever they want #but it’s so… interesting to me that people can pick it up and not know about a story that has been personally impactful to a lot of people #like the main ‘legacy’ dm left behind was technically the card game itself #but that card game isn’t directly connected to it anymore #like wow i’ve cried over this series how many times because of it’s themes and characters. and it’s about a. children’s card game.#oh my gosh okay how do i phrase this bluntly #it’s lowkey disconcerting to me that people can pick up something without knowing the things before it to enjoy the something to it’s full-#-capacity. especially if said something doesn’t carry the weight/theme/importance/etc of the things before it #i think. that is the closest i am getting to explaining my thought process #i don’t know i’m still half awake #I’m gonna go. sleep for another three hours bye tumblr see you later #rainy.file #delete later
