Season 4 notes

Ep 121: mmmm tape recorder turning on without them knowing goes brrr. AAAhjhdsjfhjdf "do you mind if i call you jon" its like "can i call you elias?" is this the dream guy with the tendrils? who wants to bet the boat is captained by peter lukas? big man if it killed yall how are you still here. oh boy the tape is doin that thing. who do we think it is? did he wake up? hmm. ep 122: lol jon. 6 months!?!? bruh quit movin big man. he just Knows things sometimes you know how it is. nah b/c i can relate to feeling like other ppl/ things arent real, thats the biggest mood BUT i think it is kinda pretentious to entertain the idea that youre the only Real person. If you dont see a body dont believe it. i'll hold out hope for a bit. theres not a new archivist is there? surely i wouldve heard about that. oh god peter what changes did you make. ep 123: web development. hope its about spiders. she blames him. bruh why. if they hadnt done anything the world would've ended piss off melanie. why are ppl acting like he chose to be in a coma for 6 months. we know this they just appear. no longer "head archivist of the magnus institute, london" now he's just "the archivist" covered in spiders? cuz ik the spider has to do with controlling what youre doing and all this stuff but i cant think of how this connects to that. ep 124: ugh vertigo. is michael crew an old man? oooh. fairchild. how did he know it was martin? hmm. GRR I LOST MY NOTES AGAIN. FROM EPISODE 125 - part of 131. ep 131: bruh he's so hard to understand big man ur voice is so low. Jared Hotworth. the boneturner. "the ones i helped find their proper bodies" name a better top surgeon? our favorite trans ally? ep 132: woo field trip into the coffin! static lol. he says "chill out im just poppin in for a quick recall mission" is the rib thing actually gonna work? bruh it feels so odd and contrived but he's an odd man with some odd powers so idk. rip that archivist ayyy statement time. voices? recordings? are those tape recorders? was it the tape recorders? did they pull him back? i hope so b/c if the rib thing actually worked im gonna be so disappointed. ep 133: predicting the lonely? tundra. like the lukases. hmm. sanikova! like sanikov land. so its the hunt? i suppose? yeah. so daisy's clearly rejecting the hunt, which makes sense cuz she doesnt seem to like the entities that much. wait so are we just not gonna talk abt all the tapes playing on the ground?? no? ep 134: not an archival assistant anymore? Adelard Decker (or however you spell it) i recognize that name. 15th power. i was right there are 15. the extinction? im trying to remember what ive heard. oooh spooky. no i gotta be real i dont understand this fear but i'll believe you that its a thing. ew lukas is so squealy. lukas can turn invisible? oh boy. oooh martin put the tape recorders there. lol lukas is worried he's gonna be an avatar of the eye. ep 135: yoo its the third Daedalus statement! maxwell rayner (reiner? reigner?) i dont know who that is but ik its somebody. is he the cult leader guy? church of the divine host? 4 people?? what? did they kidnap somebody and keep them up there?? oh dear jon are you dying? did he try to See or Know or whatever? why does everyone call basira detective lol. ep 136: he was the one from the spider movie that ate ppl right? the special effects artist? is it annabelle cane? "its a joke jon" lol. hmm they wanted to record the therapy session with melanie? i wonder who that is. i almost wanna guess annabelle cane but im not sure. ep 137: this is the one! he went to the other place and read the war statement but it wasnt the one she took. not the music again. sounds like the slaughter. who the heck is eric lol. "the watcher's crown" like the crown of eyes we saw in the piccrew ep 138: oh boy Robert Smirk time. is that elias? as unhelpful as usual. if new powers can be "born" can others die out? did jonah magnus wear the watchers crown? maybe they were born from our fear or maybe our fears were born from them. ceaseless watcher does ceaselessly watch so. idk what you want

big man. yeah jonah for sure did something. ep 139: agnes!! lol that one dude threw off all their plans thats so funny. BUT this does tell us something. the tree in the backyard of the hilltop house? not made by her. it going down didnt kill agnes. im guessing gertrude tied agnes to the house using the tree? u good jon? cuz every time you try to Know smth intentionally it seems like it causes you great pain. how come he can do it accidentally with no problem but the second he wants to know smth of plot relevance he gets a headache or whatever ep 140: lol pagan exultation. classic. "oh thats my rib" lmaoo. ppl are always so mad at jon and his Eye powers except when it benefits them. they're like "oh you shouldnt do that its not right" and then all of a sudden they want to know something and its all "oh cmon jon its the only way" ep 142: oh god jon what did you do. its interesting she's giving her statement in the way that they do when jon Asks. did he see her in the Coffin? and so he's following her? ok cmon jon you're supposed to let them come to you. lmao ikr martin. "start to hear the blood" "suure." lmao ep 143: lol that awkward moment when gertrude is already dead. big J if you die im gonna kill you. bruh. ayo helen? i guess it worked? ep 144: lol this reminds me of that one edgar allan poe story where he kills the old dude with the weird eye. spooky music stuff. lol thats my favorite symptom of a heart attack its hilarious. so its smth abt the location probably? bro i feel like you should write down the numbers idk. 162830165049 564846474827. seems like the distortion? like the kinda thing that causes you to go crazy because of the numbers. oh boy is it the extinction again. bro what?? im?? his dad just died and he's like eh. martin dont be mean. he's being all lonely again. big man ur pushing ppl away. oh god its fucking squealy boy. ep 145: that almost sounds like breekon/hope... Arthur? agnes. aah was he from the lightless flame cult. a tree. lol he's just ranting rn. hehehe fuck landlords amirite. yay someone tells jon outright to go to therapy. now do it big man. ep 146: oh great! the distortion! i'm making a spiral themed building in mc right now! jon maybe accept you did a bad? nah this goes back to what i said before. they're fine with him compelling ppl when its convenient for them but otherwise its "no jon you cant, youre a monster jon" the tapes didnt turn on. i spose that means its not important? i agree with daisy, this seems unecessarily dangerous. ep 147: is that a tape? the first tape? well that went better than i expected tbh. BAHAKJASHDJKF she did the "can i call you jon" like nikola says "elias, can i call you elias?" damn annabelle is such a girlboss. oh! the one thing from the picrew. its been a while since ive connected smth to that. lol all the other avatars always talk abt their patron so lovingly and the jon just. absolutely hates the eye. ep 148: lol thats the most elias thing. "i just like the way it sounds" ep 149: did he disappear? bruhh. ur lonely powers are popping off i guess. oops i accidentally deleted my notes for 150 - 152 ep 153: thats the cult right? yeah. it doesnt sound like the church of the divine host? idk. if it is the church of the divine host then they worship the dark right? so is the eleventh the dark star or wtvr? it almost sounds like the corruption b/c of the oil or grease or whatever. oh dear what happened. oh its the hunters. theyre so annyoing. not an "it" he has a name. he's a person. is this a page from the skin book? ep 154: oh shit this is gerry's dad! oh shit he quit! oh dear god. jon don't you do it. haha martin. yeahhhh... is he gonna tell the others? cuz you know theyre gonna get mad if he doesnt. oh also picrew connection! the bandages over the eyes? yeah thats this im guessing. ep 155: oh good he told them. oh my god what did you do. lol i have no mouth and i must scream. nah you get none of my sympathy you're straight up murdering ppl. its like the desolation, destroying lives to sustain your own. ok but taking their statements doesnt

kill them. oh... bye melanie. ep 156: lmao imagine if the tape recorder spoke back. oh boy decker! i swear we got a statement from him already. oh god mirrors scary. They're gonna eat the body arent they. Yup... sounds like the flesh or the slaughter, but I'm not sure. Could be the extinction for sure. Smth at the center! Like Helen mentioned. God Peter you dick. Ep 157: peter's just so :/ another decker statement i see. a statement about the corruption? hmm. maybe its not abt the corruption. the extinction. lol pandemics. topical. John Amherst. helen? lol i can hear admiral purring in the background. oh cmon helen dont be like that. im trying real hard to like you but you make it so difficult. ep 158: did they fucking free the stranger? im gonna lose it. you absolute dumbass. im sorry who is that? jonah magnus? my guy. peter. you absolute dickhead. that's elias. (im p sure i had this spoiled for me that elias is jonah) oh dear this is her death. god peter you prick. i hope this is a pop off martin moment and not a "martin you idiot" moment. i hope the hunters kill the stranger entity. or she kills them. furry daisy pop off! yeah fuck you peter martin can make his own decisions. you know that clip from Twisted where jafar says "ok what the fuck was that" martin D: ok like i know its gonna work but still D: D: ep 159: peter you bitchboy. because if im alone i cant hurt anyone else. imnotgonnacryimnotgonnacryimnotgonnacry do it do it do it do it. pop off jon. ok its a pretty good idea for a ritual i gotta be honest. she didnt even have to blow it up lol. oh dear that was certainly a noise. "he gets you" did he not have jon already? he's back! our boy is back! awwww thats so cute. ep 160: oh right this is the thing in the safe house. i love him. "obviously im going to tell you if i see any good cows" martin my beloved <3 :)) oh boy who is this. fuckin. people. jonah you dick. gahh. you can tell he's trying to resist so hard lol. ohh. hehe keep an *eye* on him. altho if the extinction is a real thing he needs to be marked by that right? lol he sounds so intense im sorry- i want martin to just burst in and be like "look at this cow i saw!" its so dramatic and for why.

Who is your celebrity crush?

Take a guess hahah

Of course its my main man Lee Seokmin :3

(let’s ignore all my other celebrity crushes for now)

What is a sound you hate? Love?

I hate the sound of the wind howling, grating dubstep drops and knives squeaking on plates. I love the sound of guitar solo’s, birds chirping, and Kim Jongdae’s whining dhahah :’) it’s really my favourite sound besides Seokmins laugh maybe. That was like 10 sounds but whatever ghfjggh

Do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens?

Ep. 11 - "Just call me Teat Sucker Extraordinaire" - Francie

https://survivorazores.tumblr.com/post/164040737523/individual-immunity-2

When you're laughing so hard you can't record a good video confessional but try anyway. https://youtu.be/WV-nhwkzG20

Michael is officially removed from jury

https://survivorazores.tumblr.com/post/164041757508/jury-announcement

HEY my name is Ruthie and I'm a used napkin. I don't know what's happening but I think Michael is going to get kicked off the jury and it just makes me wonder what's going to happen, I wish Ashley would come in as a juror but y'all said she wouldn't want to so that makes me wonder....  who was before Ashley??? RICKY?  IS RICKY COMING BACK PLEASE SAY YES

i feel like someone was after ricky but before ashley though idk maybe not but the best person for my game to come back as a juror would DEFINITELY be Ashley or Ricky because I was loyal to both of them. 

OR WHAT IF Y'ALL BRING BACK ZOE OH MY GOSH first pre juror to.... juror

"Ruthie/Amanda G/ Zabbey: you guys literally have the presence of a used napkin." Thank you, Michael! You were so fun when you weren't around! I'm really glad he didn't say anything that couldn't endanger my game, though. He said false shit about Emily that could get her in trouble, though. She doesn't have an idol and just because she's running the game and you're bitter doesn't mean that she's a rat. Bye bye, now.

M*chael's exit was glorious. It created a tag yourself meme. Ready? Tag yourself! Ali -cool -easily manipulated Amanda Lynn -needs luck -next Bryce/Will -have much better social games than michael will ever have -float Emily -has a sewer house -steals wifi -eats wet french fries* -has moistened, calloused hands -has the idol *only from McDonalds Francie -sucks emily’s teet -has no game play -buy Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson iTunes Mo -cringeworthy individual -thankfully didn’t know m*chael on a personal level Ruthie/Amanda G/Abbey -presence of a used napkin Personally, I'm tagging myself as Emily. But also Mo. Michael is sort of right about me having people around my finger but the people he thinks I have are... so incorrect. Francie isn't sucking my teet, she's most definitely playing her own game. And a good one. Amanda Lynn is not next, she's an ally. Bryce isn't floating and Amanda G doesn't have a napkin presence, they're both aligned with the wet french fry eating sewer troll. This boy truly thought he had the game figured out! AND he calls me out saying I have an idol that I DO NOT HAVE! He's so silly. I swear! But he gave me a good laugh. Thankful for that.

Really disappointing that he won't be on the jury but after that shit show I don't think he deserves to be. BUT TOP 10 BITCHES I LOVE EVERYONE WERE ALL MEMES

I picked Toph bc he's the one I liked most of those three (I'm actually not too bitter abt him anymore) + if I make it to FTC i think he's the most likely to vote for me as opposed to the other two. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just call me Teat Sucker Extraordinaire.

I hope Raffy gets to go to jury because I have a closer relationship with him. I know he would vote me if I made it to the end in a heartbeat. Even if I don't make it to the end, he would be so much fun in Ponderosa! Sorry Toph, I love you too man.

ASHLEY COULD COME BACK AS A JUROR I AM LIVING.  THAT COULD BE A VOTE FOR ME IF I SOMEHOW MAKE IT TO FTC. Raffy or Toph wouldn't be a HORRIBLE thing either though but ASHLEY I think that Raffy and Toph wouldn't vote based on being bitter so I mean them coming back could be good and I could make people think that i would be good to take to the end because they hate me then just make like a killer speech or something, I don't know I do know I need to work on my social game though, work is KILLING ME but it's almost the weekend and I'm gonna dive into everyone's PM's

M*chael booted out of jury? My kink! I don't want that negative attitude in my juror pool. With these possible jurors (Toph, Rafael, and Ashley) I figure that both Toph and Rafael will vote for me in the end. I voted for Toph because I love him and I know he'll vote for me in the end should I make it. I think Raffy would do the same, but I was closer with Toph and I know how enthusiastic he is about this game and I think he would have a lot of fun in jury. I'm happy for him being considered!!! I like this because these people being considered are all enthusiastic about the org and won't be bitter! I think they could all appreciate my game should I make it to the end :-) I hope I make it!!!

Rafael replaces Michael as a juror

https://survivorazores.tumblr.com/post/164045486513/announcement-pt-2

Even though I voted for Toph, I'm super happy for Rafael!!! He totally deserves to be a juror and I'm so happy for him :-). Also I have a feeling he'd give me that FTC vote so YAY!

Also, Amanda Lynn has proposed an all girls alliance for the final six. I'm nutting so hard! That means I won't have to fight to keep Amanda G! But also, hunty won't really be able to use her idol UNLESS!!! I convince the Gal Pals to go after Amanda G before Ruthie. Then, we can all vote out Amanda G (5-1) BUT!!! SHE CAN PLAY HER IDOL!!! AND AMANDA LYNN IS IDOLED OUT!!! That'd be iconic. I may have to sacrifice Bryce but... Female empowerment am I right? I can at least try to save Bryce until final seven fdksjfnkajd. I think that we definitely need to idol Amanda Lynn out at final six because I know I'm at the bottom of the Gal Pals. Amanda Lynn, Francie, and Abbey will go to FTC together and won't take me, at least I think they will. Amanda G might. I don't think she should but she would. I love her. I think the best final tribal for me would be Amanda G, Ruthie/Abbey, and me. Ruthie and Abbey are interchangeable.

Ugh but this is also great because this plan more or less ensures I get to send a picture of me without braces in the Pelotao chat!!! I want everyone to see me with cute teeth.

Today was a good day on the island. I'm just hoping no one is secretly plotting my demise. Yay!

I don't remember if i talked about this or not yet but I'm sad Ashley isn't back as a juror but raffy winning?  i could possibly work with that although i'm disappointed it's not Ashley or Ricky, i think i knew raffy pretty well considering and i'm just going to have to like bring crackedt ruthie back for a round or two and maybe get him to be a fan again and just hope that if i somehow make it to the end that my speech outshines everyone else's.

I love this challenge and will be so disappointed if I don't win it AHH it will be cute to see them try to figure out another name to write down in case the an idol is used ;)

Okay so I miss Michael and I feel like I'm next so I'm trying my best to be nice to everyone bein fake and trying to up my social game cause I love this game there's a lot you need to get me out of here y'all! Ugh so like I need to win this immunity I swear If emily wins again I'm gonna cut someone 

https://survivorazores.tumblr.com/post/164078293488/individual-immunity-2-results

One day I'll do well on one of these challenges. One day.....

I had the most points.... In some cases that would be a win.... This is not one of those cases....

I'm so excited because a girl is winning immunity tonight one way or another. Emily and I contrived a plan that I want to stick with because it's good for my game. An all girls alliance, because its 6 girls against 4 guys now. I want Will out first because everyone is speculating that he has the idol and plus, he's gone for the weekend. He can't do anything about it.

OMG!!! Me coming out of a very bad play to see that I tied for individual immunity??? Iconic!!! I am so happy tbh. I hope I can pull out a win for this tiebreaker. If I can't, I think we'll still stick to the plan and vote out Will. Things will be fine!!! But I know I'm a big target and if I keep winning comps then I will... Become a bigger target? But it's better to have individual immunity than receive votes at tribal??? So it's fine I'm fine. I just hope that I can put these comp wins on my final tribal council resume. The little slogan is outwit, outplay, outlast and I outplayed you HUNTIES!!! I hate myself I'm such a narcissist I'm sorry there have only been two individual immunities and I am already getting a big head. Yikes. Someone needs to vote me out to put me in my place.

https://survivorazores.tumblr.com/post/164082894408/tiebreak-results

I retract my previous, "I outplayed you HUNTIES!!!" because Amanda Lynn outplayed me lmao. I am never going to forgive myself for not seeing that there was a link to the Survivor wiki page on the fucking Wichita, Kansas wiki page. Fuck Wichita, Kansas!!! Like I'm not sad about losing I'm sad about how I lost and that I was so close. Like I saw that I got it in two clicks I was like yay!!! And then she got it in one and I wanted to kermit. THEN!!! T H E N!!!!! Ali has to message me and say, "Hahahaha Amanda won yas." I AM EMILY YOU DUMB DUMB DON'T SAY THAT TO ME I AM SAD let me mourn the loss of this individual immunity. But it's fine I'm fine fjdfkjadsf. As long as Will is going out this week, things are all dandy.

THANK GOD EMILY DIDNT WIN

http://youtu.be/npK_8yFMFnY

amanda won immunity! the majority female alliance is made and it seems pretty solid! Ruthie and Amanda G dont know theyre the bottom so its poppin! This final 6 will happen i have planted the seeds and i will enjoy the harvest

https://youtu.be/UilB_RVTA2Y

Guess who's back with a brand new track that's just a mess as they are? Me. (At least /I/ think it's a mess) While I ~could~ edit these video confessionals, that just takes too much effort. https://youtu.be/qtDpn3E_2Fs

https://youtu.be/GnkO0epBZ9Q

My gameplay this season is working out how I exactly like how I want it work "be lowkey, be funny and make moves when needed" but I don't appreciate when people don't tel me the tea, emily hun you were my closest ally and you barley talk to me now! I feel extra shaded I didn't do nothing to you and I feel like right now the person who's straight up with me is will and I believe now there's an all female alliance and I'm ready to blindside someone I'm tired of playing "with the flow" I lost 2 allies in michale and Gwen cause of it and now I really like Bryce and I don't want him to go he isn't at threat like you wanna keep amanda g and emily in this game but take out Bryce these people I like personally but they can be very dumb sometimes so I'm ready to do a blindside this round and I'm ready for a shake up in this game I'm not going to be a duck waiting for my departure I'm gonna the take bulls by the horn and eat everyone like they are rats I'm at a cobra also emily you're nice girl act doesn't work out at all hun, you act so innocent but in reality i feel like you're a villain I'm sorry I love you but in this game you're dark sides

So this vote is pretty troublesome. Like I think the girls are all one and that's super scary SDKJFJSKF. No one wanted to say any names all day and Francie was very distant. Amanda and Emily seem pretty fake adfkladsjj but I love them. Will wants Amanda G so I think all the girls are voting Will. Which is sad but I guess at least it isn't me. Me and Mo are going to be in trouble if it keeps going at this rate. I would hope that Amanda G and Emily have my back no matter what but IDK if that's realistic.

I'm like... not surprised that Amanda Lynn is a snake. Like not surprised at all. Incredibly disappointed in Abbey though like... girl... try again lmao. Just because I said I would understand if I was voted out by an all girls' alliance doesn't mean you all pledge to protect me while I'm away with NO internet service except for brief moments, like betray me when I'm here don't be cowards about it. That's ridiculous and you're all dumb sorry about it. I guess my idol schemes are being shot in the foot but at least someone who isn't me will go home tonight. Even if they change the vote I don't care. They're all cowards in my book, this isn't a big move this is you all not being able to deal with breaking a promise so you do it when you know I can't say anything. It's weakness.

Tribal is in an hour and I am very nervous once again that things aren't going to go my way or that I'll be joining the Ponderosa chat once again. I'm very anxious. I have to pee. I just want to know for a fact that I'm safe. Last round was great because I was immune and I didn't have to worry about people plotting behind my back. This would be a damn good opportunity to vote me out though. Why is not one taking it??? They should. Smh. Whoever successfully orchestrates my tribal and votes me out is going to be the person I give my vote to in the end honestly! But I just hope it's not this tribal lmao. I still have some tricks up my sleeve ;-). Also I want to win more individual immunities and play in more fun comps!!! I'm excited!!! But also frightened. I'm going to go eat my wet french fries and stare at my computer screen until 8:00pm eastern time. Goodbye.

Me and Bryce are trying to find someone to align with and our options are limited, we think the girls might be aligning but we're unsure and I don't wanna align with Ali T because he makes me uncomfortable.

Why the fuck are the Gal Pals freaking out so much??? Nothing is up!!! Everyone is confused because they all look to us for how to vote AND NO ONE TOLD THEM HOW TO VOTE! Splitting the votes won't be good for us. Will might have an idol but I think he's walking out with it! We just need to chill out. I get this is nerve-wracking people being vague but they're being vague because WE were vague first! If Will plays his idol then Bryce or Ruthie go. I don't know why Amanda Lynn is freaking out!!! Things will be fine. I hope???????? Anyways, I need to pee and shower before tribal. Goodbye

I can't believe I'm doing a confessional from a plane but ok. There's a possibility Will has an idol and is directing all the votes towards himself so he could play his idol and be the one in control. That's the idea at least so we're having like one or two people break away to vote Bryce so Will can't throw a wrench in our plans to vote him out. I hope none of the F(emale)6 goes home tonight and also that I'm around for tribal (an announcement came on while I was writing this that there is indeed gonna be more of a delay)

LAST WORDS: Wow... my last confessional. It feels unreal to not be in a bunch of chats at once. I'm so shook, but I feel fine. I would love to play more games in my free time because of this and it was an amazing experience. Thank you Jay, thank you host Ali, thank you Raffy, Toph, Bryce, my cute NFP alliance. A very special thank you to Emily... I made a really good friend because of this game and I'm so grateful for this. She better win, I love her, my ride or die till the end :)

Amanda G becomes the third juror and tenth placer of Survivor Athena: Azores

FEBRUARY MARCH CHALLENGE!!!

Yay! I did the thing! Below the cut you can find some silly answers and silly ms paint artwork~ It’s been forever since I’ve drawn and even more forever since I’ve drawn anime, so everything sucks but be kind, okay~

1. Favourite Character

This guy!!! I remember liking him immediately when I first watched in gradeschool, so he’s a longtime fave. I wish I remembered the basis for my affinity all those years ago, but it’s been lost to the tides of time. Now I kind of think about how his character works on two levels for me:

(1) On a kind of surface level, he’s just really fun to watch. His voice and his dialogue. The comedic expressions. The stupid accent in the dub. He’s temperamental and hammy. And, unlike a lot of the other characters, when he’s upset or unhappy, he’s generally driven towards being more active rather than being more passive - so instead of introspective scenes where he’s retreating into himself, you get all these scenes where he goes out and starts doing really dumb shit. He’s one of the few characters I pretty much universally enjoy watching for the theatrical value.

(2) And on a kind of deeper level, I just find him really inspirational. He’s far from a flawless character - there are so many ways he acts recklessly and makes mistakes, so many ways he can be grating and even cruel, and so many things he’s really not that good at. But he’s just so resilient and determined and such an aggressively good friend to Yuugi. I think especially with all the darker subtext in the manga, you can see the really bad places he’s come from, and how he’s been met with so much failure along the way - but he’s made it so far~ I wish we could all fall and get back on our feet as easily as Jounouchi.

2. Runner Up Character

Put-upon Egyptian Cult Leader!! Who I don’t believe I talk about enough.

He’s an exciting villain, imo!! He puts Yuugi & co in a lot of tight spots, and in a lot of ways didn’t seem to leave the story on the same page as them, but he comes through his arc just devastatingly sympathetic in my mind. I think it’s easy to sympathise with the way he’s at war with himself and his lot in life.

There’s kind of a lot of exciting attributes collected around him too - mind control and alternate personalities, Tomb Keeper politics and Rare Hunter politics, an uneasy partnership with the big bad of the series, and a really poorly established relationship with his brother Rishid that switches between master-subordinate, patient-caretaker, and older-and-younger siblings.

On a personal level though, I appreciate the way he’s willful and clever and lazy and manipulative and NEVER STOPS LYING. I appreciate how much he fights and loses hope and is renewed in his fight against his more insane tendencies. I appreciate that he doesn’t seem to develop genuine fondness for the protags so much as come to realise they’re his way out of this mess and pragmatically follow through on it. And I appreciate how he’s revealed to be fiercely caring towards his siblings in spite of all faults. And it feels so real and tender and angry and human, I even temporarily forget how awful he’s been mere hours before.

Admittedly, I don’t exactly have a clear picture of his fanon existence and what I’d like from it. Especially since I’m not super into the thiefship scene. I’d kind of like to read more about him though. Especially about him and his siblings, or him and Ryou, or him and Yuugi.

3. Favourite Protagonist

Cutie baby~

I guess... Yuugi and I... are maybe... kind of... alike? I’m like a tall, shitty version of him, lmao.

He is a passive pacifist sweetheart with too much self-doubt in his heart and too much porn under his mattress. I like how he grows into himself in the series and learns to be more assertive - but remains the calm, friendly, and trusting person he always was.

4. Favourite Villain

I guess this would be Malik again? Who even counts as a villain in ygo? All of them get redeemed.

I’m just gonna say Kaiba. Kaiba’s tried to kill enough of the protags to be a villain, lol. He’s weaseled his way into a central role in the series tho~ Mr. Popular~

I think I’ve talked quite a bit about why I like Kaiba - but he’s just so damaged and so weak and so strong. He builds death theme parks and shuts down weapons production. Compared to us average humans, he’s more capable of doing good and more capable of doing evil both. Also I project onto him like a mofo.

5. Favourite Yami

I guess this would also be Malik again - Malik’s disturbing split personality.

Naw, tho~ My new favourite Yami is Yami!Isis. All bow down to the cold, all-seeing Priestess.

6. Favourite Series

Season Zero. Or idk, I still have to watch Season Zero but I love manga Season Zero so I assume. Um, the manga? Or am I just supposed to say DM? I still haven’t gotten to watching GX at length but I will.

7. Favourite Arc

Season Zero

A different game every week. Mundane school life in Japan spiced up with pyromania. lots of character focus. Thug life. But I already kind of answered this for the last question.

Maybe Duellist Kingdom?

I like the duels in DK a lot - I know they didn’t follow the rules, but they’re kind of snappy and satisfying. And it has a lot of my favourite Seto moments and Mai moments. And I like the straightforwardness in the arc’s setup, the goals of the characters, and how it built up to the finals. I feel like there’s not a dull moment building up to the confrontation with Pegasus from the meeting with Seto before the castle - the way Atem lost to Seto, and then Seto getting his soul pilfered, and Tristan and the others climbing around the castle, and the Atem-Mai and Jou-Keith duels were some of the better ones in the series.

But my cracky id loves DOMA?

It’s stupid and I know it’s stupid. But the silly villains. REAL MONSTERS. Mai having PTSD complications. Roadtrip in the USA. All the polarshipping. stfu - I can like DOMA if I want to like DOMA.

8+9. Favourite Quote & Runner Up Quote

I am so bad at remembering quotes. I mean, you can’t beat the Yuujou pun, I guess.

I suppose I like the speech Anzu gave Kaiba during DK, about the chip of life, and how Yuugi saved him. I don’t like Anzu’s speech in the dub, but for some reason Kaiba snapping back at her What do you have? with ‘I have all that I need!’ has really stuck with me - I have no idea why(??) But I even used that line in a fic.

I also like when Jounouchi goes on the date with Fake-Virtual-World!Mai. “Anywhere’s fine, so long as it’s with you.” Aww~

I’m not sure any of these are my favourite favourite, but I liked them all.

10. Funniest Moment of the Series

When Kaiba dropped a key into the ocean and somehow Jounouchi didn’t die, lmao

Okay, for reals tho, I’m not sure. But it was funny when Jounouchi almost fell off the balcony in Duellist Kingdom. And the potato song. And when Jounouchi called Kaiba on the phone and Otogi did the Kaiba imitation during DOMA. And when Kaiba and Mai got into a street race - NEVER FORGET!

11. Scariest Moment of the Series

OMG. When Bakura as Honda confronted Yuugi about giving up his wish, and Yuugi tearfully admits his wish was to have friends. Raw. Terrifying. I died.

Okay, again for reals. I guess that’s my admission that the series never managed to make me really fear for the characters. There are times when I scare myself thinking about how empty Kaiba must feel at times though.

12. Favourite Moment Overall

*plays Mystical Refpanel* “Jounouchi-kun… Daisuki da.”

13. Runner Up Moment

Mai giving Jounouchi the entry card during DK.

Mai’s so elegant. But, geez, this must have taken a lot out of her. She just lost her own duel - was just crying herself - has never really had friends before by her own admission. She does this with such seeming ease but she’s really putting herself out on a line here - and Jounouchi probably even doesn’t understand that - but he does all the right things anyhow <3

Yes all my favourite moments are people being nice to Jounouchi - shut up!

Other runner up moments are Rishid’s speech to Malik at the end of Battle City. Kaiba sacrificing Obelisk to summon the Blue Eyes during his duel with Isis. And I also like the very end of Duellist Kindgom and how Mai gets last minute invited on the helicopter ride. Which leads nicely into the next question.

14. Favourite Romantic Ship

Mai/Jounouchi/Kaiba.

Mai and Jounouchi are my favourite proto-romance in the series. Jounouchi and Kaiba are my favourite duo in the series for interesting and revealing character moments. All together they make the greatest ship of bad decisions ever invented.

15. Favourite Platonic Ship

There aren’t many things I only ship platonically. And for things I ship romantically and platonically – there are a ton. But shout-out goes to MaiKai for being the platonic bros of my OTP. I told you - NEVER FORGET that time they got into a street race.

I feel like there’s a lot to work with here though. High society. Introversion and the desire for isolation. Rigidity vs flexibility. Maturity and competence vs pettiness and complete and utter stupidity. Mai beta testing Legendary Heroes. Mai giving Kaiba ‘grown-up’ advice. Learning to trust. They will be drinking buddies. They must become drinking buddies.

16. Runner Up Ship

Honda & Otogi & Serenity.

I like them taking the train together in the manga, but it’s mostly an anime ship. I enjoy watching Otogi and Honda fighting each other for Serenity’s attention and getting completely wrapped up in each other in the process, lol. There’s a level of transparency to it that I find amusing. And it’s sweet the way they all move in to cover each others’ backs during the duel with Oota. They have their missteps, but it makes things feel rewarding when they come through for each other in the end. And, lol, this moment-

In the context of a romantic ship, Honda’s so romantically idealistic and Serenity’s so naively unindulgent - they’re both very stubborn in their own way, but I feel like Otogi is capable of bringing in the realism to mediate that situation. I think my headcanons are heavily influenced by this writer’s work. Even outside of a romantic context though, I want them to be an adventurous trio of friends, lol. I hope they all grow up and manage it in the future~

17. Another Runner Up Ship

Second runner up could be so many things, but this stands out as something I want to see more of - and also have a drawing:

Mai & Vivian.

Okay. But seriously. I want Great Wall of China fataleshipping adventures. I want them to be super catty friends. Please give me more of Mai postcanon female friends and femslash.

18. Favourite Monster

Dark Necrofear!

I talked about most of the cards in this post, but I’ll refresh your memory. (I haven’t made it far in Reshef, but Duel Links has left me feeling more or less the same regarding favourite cards.)

19. Runner Up Monster

REMEMBER WHEN KISARA WAS A CARD~

AU where Kisara is the Happy Queen of the Duel Monsters parallel universe, and Kaibaman is her dimension hopping servant.

20. Favourite Spell

One of these two.

21. Favourite Trap

Hahaha. Fuck Kaiba >:(

22. Design Your Own Character

No. I drew Asuka from GX instead.

23. Design Your Own Monster

I’ll do it one of these days~ But not today~

24. Favourite DSoD Moment

Idk, when Yuugi told Kaiba off? When Otogi and his dad showed up? When Jounouchi wrote his initials on his Duel Disk? When Honda and Yuugi rode a motorcycle and went to save Jounouchi? When Jounouchi and Honda rode a bike to school?

WHEN KAIBA WATCHED YUUGI PUT TOGETHER THE LAST PIECES OF THE PUZZLE AND HIS FAAAAACE D:

25. Favourite New Character in DSoD

MANI! SO CUTE! SO SWEET! SO CRAZY WHEN HE PUTS ON THE RING!

But Shadi also gets points here for being different enough that I can imagine him as a new character.

26. Least Favourite New Character

Sera.

27. DSoD Could Have Done _____ Better

Lots of stuff but I’m not in the mood rn. I liked the film overall.

28. Favourite New Card From DSoD

REMEMBER WHEN MAHAAD WAS A CARD~

OMG! That’s the end of the meme! It took forever, right? But thank you if you read all this way <3
