hes finally done. hes finally real. this is the ref for my design for acolyte, the apostasy au heart (may potentially make a second reference for apostate, aka apostasy au heart after Events happen)

if you have any questions about the au feel free to ask. or you can read through all of the fics on ao3 (you should definitely do that ooo you want to read every apostasy au fic so bad /silly)

also thank you to @twig-gy for making this au with me

Yugioh Rants: Blazing Cartesia, The Virtuous

I've been playing a lot of yugioh lately on master duel and in particular the "Bystial Runick" deck. It's all quite fun but I'd like to highlight the gameplay and story integration going on with one card in particular, not even the best in the deck but possibly my favorite:

This is Blazing Cartesia, The Virtuous and she's one of the best designed Yugioh cards I've seen.

So, first off, story background. Cartesia is a corrupted/brainwashed/evilified version of "Ecclesia", a girl featured across many cards in the Albaz/Branded storyline. Important for our discussion here is that Ecclesia is good friends with Dogmatika Fluerdelis / The Iris Swordsoul, and very close adventuring partners/love interest of "The Fallen of Albaz". Along the way they're opposed at first by the more villainous Dogmatikas, then later the Bystials and Despians as well. More under the break, this post is quite long.

Like a lot of modern Yugioh cards Cartesia has a paragraph on her so we'll take it piece by piece. First, her basic stats and name (yes that has a gameplay effect):

Blazing Cartesia, The Virtuous Light Attribute | Lvl 4 1500 ATK / 1500 DEF Spellcaster / Tuner / Effect

Cards in Yugioh are grouped into archetypes by strings in their names. Notable here is that Cartesia doesn't belong to any of the Albaz storyline archetypes specifically; she assists lots of the villain ones, but she's not technically a member. Being specifically a "LIGHT Spellcaster monster whose ATK equals its own DEF", she can be special summoned by the graveyard effect of Despian Luluwalilith, the corrupted form of Iris. The two still have a bond despite what's happened to them.

Finally, being a lvl 4 Tuner means she can be used to Synchro summon. With a level 6 monster (like all of the Bystials) she can be used to summon "The Bystial Dis Pater", that archetype's extra deck boss monster. With a level 8 monster however, she can be used to summon Despian Luluwalilith. You know who's level 8? All of the Fusion monsters Albaz forms. So already she combos very nicely with the hero and villain cards from the storyline. On to her effects.

If you control "Fallen of Albaz" or it is in your GY: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.

This one's fun. Cartesia does her best work on the field and this gets here there, but it does so based on where Albaz is. It works to show that she still has feelings towards Albaz even in her current state. Instead of her interacting with Aluber, The Bystial Aluber has a name-replacement effect that makes his name count as "Fallen of Albaz" under most situations; she has feelings for Albaz, but Aluber's tricked her and redirected her to work with him.

During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Fusion Summon 1 Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as material.

Albaz's deck/playstyle revolves around fusion summoning and Cartesia facilitates that. Fusions have some inherent weaknesses, and Cartesia working the way she does helps mitigate them. The "Level 8 or higher" restriction just allows her to make all of Albaz's dragon forms. Special mention here to one specific target she can make, Granguignol the Dusk Dragon:

This card has a lot going on but worth noting is the clasped hands on the dragon's neck; concept art calls them "hands of the holy maidens", and indeed Ecclesia was one of the holy maidens of Dogmatika before the story started. As for effects, Gran-Guginol can send one of your cards from the extra deck to the GY, an effect very in-theme for the Dogmatikas!

Going back to Cartesia, she has one more effect and a restriction:

During the End Phase, if a Fusion Monster(s) was sent to your GY this turn: You can add this card from the GY to your hand.

You can only use each effect of "Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous" once per turn.

The restriction is nothing too notable; it's a standard "Hard Once Per Turn" effect done to prevent silly infinites and the like (This isn't MtG!). The last effect is notable. Albaz's fusions often send themselves or other fusions into the GY, and doing so lets you recover Cartesia for follow-up plays.

As for her art, Cartesia's dress uses the diamond pattern seen on Aluber's various cards and a vareity of Despians. So you know she's evil now (her bust size has also increased mysteriously). All in all, she's an evil form of a well known and caring person. While she's working for the bad guys, she still has in her heart her love for her friends, and her effects reference that. Even without any flavor text she's one of the most flavorful cards I think I've seen. In passing, I'll note the parallels between these two cards (Branded Regained and Branded Bond), one of her evil form helping Bystial Druiswurm and one of her non-corrupted form helping Albion, one of Albaz's dragon forms.

hi! any headcanons on how the McDuck trio interacted/hung out before the show? I am now obsessed with them, they don't directly see each other as siblings but are united by Dad McDuck™, I love it so much brilliant

Hi thank you sm for this ask :D I’ll try my best to answer in a way that make sense but I can’t promise that I will 😅

Rambles under readmore bc ik some peeps don’t want to see my nonsense probably lol

Ok so basically

With Gy and Webs I feel like Gyro would have met Webby when she was young and when she got a little older she’d always want to hang with him and whenever she could she’d see if she could visit Gyro in the lab because she thought his work was cool and whatnot. Maybe Gyro found it irritating at first but he eventually got used to it and (I liked the thought of this silly hc before the mcduck trio was come up with or whatever) Webby is like the first one of the main kids he’s actually nice to (I have a dumb comic for this but it’s OLD like 2020 old so that’s staying in the depths of my old ibis gallery)

With Lp and Gyro it’s like kind of the same thing, Lp obvs works for Scrooge and wants to befriend anyone he meets that also works for Scrooge, he loves having work buddies/buddies in general, so naturally he tries to be friends with Gyro. Gyro is Not having it at first, y’ know being his normal abrasive self, giving his passive aggressive or more so aggressive replies but it doesn’t deter Lp at all. After their first interaction Lp visits Gyro in his lab sometimes to the disdain of Gyro, Launchpad usually like idk has a one sided conversation with Gyro and then leaves; maybe Gyro secretly appreciates the company. Then that turns into longer visits and eventually Gyro slowly warming up to Launchpad and actually contributing to the conversations (albeit curtly at first) and sometimes Launchpad brings lunch for Gyro since Gyro doesn’t take breaks as often as he should.

Canonically (I think) Webby and Lp don’t meet until the Woo-oo! So ig they start getting to know each other after that, but then again, I have never been one to adhere to canon but I also can’t think of anything else rn I’m sorry

This might not make any sense but ya, I feel like they grew closer during the show and once Scrooge started to go back to his old self and stuff so yeah 👍

Feel free to send in any other questions because I know this may not make sense or if I didn’t answer the ask right at all 😭😭 but ya :]

Leverage Mark Showdown -- Second Heat Contestants

Where the nominator left comments (or fun extra descriptors), I'm including their comments, cause those are way better than what I'd come up with. Where they didn't leave comments, you'll have to settle for mine :P

Jack Lattimer The Radio Job, The Last Dam Job (also sort of most of Season 4) Hes a background guy, just barley staying relevant but also managing to be a pain in the ass to Nate and the crew, but he's not as much of a threat as Damien Moreau, but still stays in the background disrupting htings and giving the crew a hard time purely beciase he wasts a few extra bucks. Hes a bad gys that feels realistic an investor who found a way to cheat the system to benefit himself.

Jimmaaay Jimmy Jimmy Ford The Three Card Monte Job go grandpa

Dr. Anne Hannity The Inside Job That cocky/confident shit is hot... Except for the part where she manufactures a famine. But every time she thought she had a trump card she was sexy af

Dalton Rand The Future Job he's the worst kind of loathsome esp bc he's the most directly confronted with the harm he's doing and is totally blase about it

Nicky & Heather Moscone The Wedding Job They're both great caricatures and I like that they double cross each other.

Alan Foss The Two-Horse Job He’s one of the most well-sold “cartoonishly evil immature dickbag“ characters  we encounter. I love his arrogance, his uber-hateable sexism, and the over the top reactions he makes are so much fun to watch him get angry about. Damien Moreau, "IF WE MUST" The Big Bang Job, The San Lorenzo Job - specifically for the bathrobe and flipflops and being carefully staged to not look like everyone around him is normal human size, bless him - silly charming terrifying bastard man. can't believe this hasn't been done yet.

Retzing & Sons The Snow Job Dysfunctional crime family getting synergistically worse the more they try to deal with each other. Also I get excited every time I see my boy Jonathan from Buffy

Meredith The Lonely Hearts Job Man, she actually almost did our heroes in, didn't she? I love her grudging respect for Sophie, like she is genuinely into the art of grifting and willing to acknowledge being bested

James Kanack The First Contact Job He could have just been another rich and successful asshole. But no, that wasn't enough for him. HE HAD TO TALK TO ALIENS.

Mitchell Kirkwood The Studio Job Dude was a charming psycho, I'd let him murder me for my songs 😍 Plus watching his face break was 😚 Divine 😚

Hugh Whitman The Gone Fishin' Job Yeah, you know, let's do some regular debt collection fraud and also fund an entire militia out in the woods behind the bank, that seems normal, right?

Larry Duberman The Reunion Job what if there was a nerd who had sometbing sooooooooo wrong with them. also his actor was in big eden i got really excited when i recognized him

Wendy Baran The Gimme a K Street Job - okay I cave, you got me with this one. You're gonna have to send some propaganda, cause the nominator didn't say anything and i literally remember nothing about this character except she thinks breaking teenage girls' necks is a fun way to make money - Update! The nominator says: - Okay I said Baran bc I hate her so very much -  And she’s a girlboss (derogatory)

Andrew Grant The Miracle Job Love the energy, love the way he threw a wrench in their plans by being even more of a sleazy money grubber than they expected (and more creative about it!), and yeah, he's another one that I actually feel kinda bad for cause playing on his anxiety was LOW.

Irina Larenko The Stork Job She was such a ditzy cunt, I hated her but I loved watching her on screen. Kinda cute in a way idk plus her main muscle was kinda unfff

[fruitvault]

I come from Twitter…

please share the Gyro + 3 Cabs thoughts I’m on my hands and knees…

THE most annoying polycule

I'm not finished with the thing I wanna make for them, however

a crumb,,,

since I have favorite character brainrot, I have this disease that makes me think it would be cool if all 3 of them went out or smth (don dragging him out on da town after work and of course the whole band invites themselves). gyro turns into an embarrassed puddle when they all drink a little and do nothing but be silly and mostly hit on him and flirt so so much. I keep thinking about casual sex that would progressively become more corny lovey-dovey w lots of kisses bbbbbvnv <3<3 sure BDSM is okay but that hardcore shit like uhhhhh love and vulnerability??? but also backs being blown out?

josé gives him style compliments since they have some similarities, is very affectionate n a little handsy adjusting his tie/etc. he leans in reeeal close and then just grabs his glasses and cleans the lenses lmao. the other two do plenty of work with gys ego and complimenting his skills, but gradually get him more flustered when complimenting him differently

[chonnysinferno]

i STILL feel as if i’m being frog boiled into following you. like sometimes i’ll just check in and scroll two posts below like okay what are they doing now. question mark. everytime i see you in my notifs it’s like a jumpscare. i’ve considered sending an anon ask just saying your icon looks like posadism but sadly it does not. it’s just like. orange. that’s it. i wish it looked like posadism, just because i like posadism. wait fuck you don’t know centricide one of the reasons i didn’t send that ask so now i have to be like ohhh posadism as in character from centricide as in webseries with personified political ideologies. i feel like we’re kind of like soulmates but opposite. like forever fated to be strangers and nothing more. forever fated to see the other’s reflection in the glass of a store as they pass. that’s probably just me though. being silly and such

hi twig-gy you can come out. i know this is likme 99% you /silly that is so hilarious tho like. you also show up on my fyp sometimes and its like. "oh its that user !! woah" it also makes it funnier that i havent been posting anything relating to cj in the past few days too im slowly disappearing from the fandom ajugh i really should post smth cj related soon okie now back 2 thjis. i also check in w ur blog when ever u come up kits like. studying you in a way i dont know how to say it youre like the only person i do this to so .................... uhmmmmm idk who posadism is unfortunately my icon is a humanized design of michael from love of the s*n </33 ill go look it up after im finished typing this tho oh nvm i just read further down LMFAO im just going as i typr so ill check out centricide after. yea i dontneed to repeat what i said i dont thinkl ypu get the point were kind of just poking each other with sticks i feel. like were aware of each oithers existence but well never actually interact properly which is so sad. i need to examine you under a microscope to be franjk with you. youmnare so interesting to me but i forget about you 90% of the time just like everyone else i meet its not just you btw how you described it is exactly how it is except i havent really thought of it until this was. yknow brought up id follow you but. i feel like you might kill me or somethin g i apologize unfortunately that goes for everyone i interact with. so edit : oh also the frog boiling thing was the best thing evber when i first saw it i added it to my bio as a joke like a while ago and i think its too perfect to remove now

[t4tails]

i kind of hate the batman riddler cause he is a 4chan incel right winger. MY riddler is silly and gay and just wants to prove how smart he is. the only agenda he follows is the gy agenda

i think in the grand scheme of villains theres room for both creepy incel 4channers AND fruity camp kings <3

[whoisthatmovinginthedark]

It's a strange feeling how the main couple in spl makes me constantly uncomfortable as I read on, makes me want to crawl out of my skin and makes me feel a sort of a suffocating horror. But at the same time, somehow, because of that, I can't stop thinking about them, I keep hearing them in song lyrics, and it's been one of my very favourite ships these past three years. There's just something about the way (as I see it) cg eventually corners gy, wears him out, manipulates him, traps him and makes him surrender to him in every possible way that inexplicably fascinates me to the core.

And I feel quite alone with this opinion, but to me it wasn't a completely happy ending. Not to gy. (Yet there's also some beauty in there that at times moves me deeply and brings me to tears.) I don't think they should have gotten together. But I want them to, because it just so tasty, and the long emotional journey there is so well crafted.

But unfortunately, because everything about it is balancing so close to the line where my enjoyment turns into a flinch, it's a pretty narrow interpretation that I'm able to find appealing. Or stand even. And so I find it hard to join conversations about it. Or enjoy fanart, especially pieces that are based more on popular fanons than actual novel descriptions.

But sometimes it feels silly that I have this fandom blog here, but I never really talk about these few characters that are so often on my mind. So here's a post about how I'm still not over them.
