2023 vs 2024

My full Blue-Eyes White Dragon collection, the powerful ace monster of my beloved Seto Kaiba🩵 Exactly one year ago I shared my BEWD collection the first time, so I wanted to post an update in comparison to show how much it grew💙

[super-lovely-collection]

I Summon Pot of Greed! Just got this plush from my crane game app winnings~~~it is awesome, and happy to add it to my lovely collection. ^^

Huge project I'm going to work on! VRAINS T shirts featuring Borreload, Firewall and Heatleo. This will be the Borreload one. I'll also release matching enamel pins and Lanyards at the same time! Second pic is the pin sketch.

I call it a huge project because the shirts are EXPENSIVE to manufacture and I want to make sure there is interest in them!

[bphantom01]

There's Yusaku, Yuga, & Yudias too lol

Shrine Tour

1at last, for your viewing pleasure, here is every piece of hetalia march (plus some other stuff) that I have in my collection. I’ve been growing my collection for years, and if you want some tips and tricks on how to save money on some of this stuff, please don’t hesitate to ask me questions. I’m very money conscious and I’m fortunate to be able to set aside some money for buying things I enjoy, but I know that diving into the world of anime merch can be scary. I will include where I purchased each of these items, along with a base price, shipping will be different depending on what country you’re from! 

Anyway, please don’t make fun of me too much for all of this lmaooo. Enjoy

You're my only outside connection to mtg so I gotta ask, sorry if it's annoying- what is the basic format of magic play/the playing field? E.g. in YuGiOh there were rows for either monsters or spells and traps, and a pretty narrow set of ways cards interacted w each other. It seems (?) like mtg is orders of magnitude more open than that, given the effects of some of the cards you've posted- one card introduces its own idea of "splitting" cards up, and the rules are very open to interpretation?

before i go any further, the key difference between MTG and Yu-Gi-Oh is that the former was made from the ground up by a guy with an entire PhD in math who spent years prototyping and playtesting various iterations of the game before landing on a success. the latter was made by Konami based on a card game in a manga that was never meant to be playable irl as a merchandising tie-in. YGO has like 4 completely different rulesets, banlists, and even card text wording depending on what country and app you're playing on; it's a wonder the game functions at all without exploding and injuring bystanders.

the way MTG rules function is twofold:

the basic rules are fairly straightforward. you tap lands to generate mana to cast spells, some of those spells become permanents that stay on the board, creatures attack and block, etc

if a card's rules text contradicts the basic rules, the card text always wins

point 2 can take many forms. the least subtle i can think of off the top of my head is Mirror Gallery, which directly negates a moderately niche section of the comprehensive rules stopping you from controlling two copies of the same legendary permanent at once:

(interestingly, this card has actually been effectively errata'd since its printing because the Legend Rule itself has changed, but i digress)

as for the format of the playing field, it's split up into various zones (the rules link i posted above goes into more detail). the largest of these is "the battlefield", which is where all permanents (creatures, enchantments, artifacts, planeswalkers) live. unlike YGO, there's no concept of "rows" or limited space to summon things - you can summon literally* infinite tokens if you feel like it, and there are a lot of decks that win by doing exactly that

basically the cornerstone of MTG rules philosophy is "reading the card explains the card". this is in contrast to YGO, which had to introduce Problem-Solving Card Text because cards worded the EXACT SAME WAY would function completely differently based on the whims of judge rulings. meanwhile Hearthstone is just out here like

"what's a fabulous treasure? go fuck yourself. that will be $5"

it is interesting that you mention Saw In Half because that card is actually from a goofy joke set that, up until now, had never been tournament legal. the latest one is experimenting with having specific cards from it be legal in tournaments while the sillier ones stay in casual. Saw In Half is one of those tournament-legal-but-silly cards. this, of course, has made nobody mad, and everyone is being normal about it.

*technically you have to specify an arbitrarily large but finite number whenever you have an infinite combo, since it's possible for your opponent to do stuff like gain life for each creature on the field, and trying to figure out if your infinite-power token army can kill your opponent with 2*infinity life is the kind of math that WOTC doesn't want people doing in tournament play

For the character ask meme!

ASTRAL MY LOVE!!

What I love about them: SO much!! Gorgeous character design, I think about just how effective his design is all the damn time, he’s the perfect example of ‘ethereal beauty.’ I can only imagine how much more effective his design would be had his hair been more ‘flowy’ with better animation. But Ygo thrives on detailed still images and just look up one picture of Astral and you’ll just see- here, I’ll do it for you

Also a nonbinary legend. He/she/they take the crown.

I’ve always loved the trope of inhuman being discovering humanity for the first time, I love how well Zexal was able to execute how he changed over the course of the series- From a frankly emotionless brat who always had some snarky condescending comment say, to a genuinely kind person with some agency of his own (some, we’ll get into that.) I loved seeing each emotion he experienced, and he’s just great and underutilized despite being the most important person in the series (we’ll get into that)

What I hate about them: He was not utilized enough! It’s not his fault, it's the executives and such, but rewatching when Astral (spoilers) was genuinely disagreeing with Yuma and finding it hard to see himself going down the same path as him and trusting him again (which is huge because Astral got to a point where he trusted Yuma unconditionally and it blew up in his face bad,) what could’ve been used to voice their differences and speak up for himself more just…Did not happen. All of Astral’s thoughts stay within his head. 

He gets shoved to the side a LOT for someone who is a floating plot devise and the entire reason the story is even happening. It’s been about 12 years and Astral is still viewed as an extension of Yuma in a lot of the official ygo merchandise. I love their relationship, but Astral needed to be more independent! Narratively and just in general. 

Favorite Moment/Quote: I had to go back and get it, subbed episode 48- “I have no idea when I will vanish, but you have a future and infinite possibilities. Thus, I wish to leave behind the proof of my existence in your mind” (I believe dub said ‘heart’ instead of ‘mind’, both work beautifully)

Astral completely excluding himself from having a future, resigning to disappearing without a trace and no one will remember him but Yuma…and that’s all he wants out of his life. It is so damn sad that he just sort of resigns to his existence being a fickle and meaningless thing (once his mission is over) but his innocent hope of at least one person remembering him cementing itself in his friend’s grief-addled mind just aaaa! He’s just got this air of sadness that’s so !! 

What I would like to see more focus on: Astral was created for one purpose only, and when that he succeeded in his mission, it’s implied that there’s just nothing after that. That he’d just be used up, dead and gone. He carries this sort of instinctual desire to self-sacrifice because that is what he’s made to do and I’m always screaming at the TV screen, just begging him to think about himself and gain a desire to live!! Screw these people who made you to fix their own mistakes! You deserve to live, Astral!

What I would like to see less focus on: Uhhh not sure really, maybe less of him just living and breathing through Yuma and more of him being his own person. 

Favorite pairing with: Oh that’s easy, It’s [REDACTED] But on something I can talk about, I genuinely really enjoyed writing Goldenshipping (Jey x Astral) when you commissioned me and whenever I see the fanart I go 👀👀

Favorite friendship: Astral and Yuma are iconic (and obvious.) For a more unconventional one, the little friendship Astral and Haruto had was so genuinely wholesome (too bad those characters both aren’t really focused on at all) 

Astral teaching this traumatized child how to eat with chopsticks and smiling fondly at him when his instruction works?? Fucking beautiful. I cried. 

The fact that Astral was willing to give all of his numbers, his MEMORIES, to Kaito in order to save Haruto should Yuma find that the better solution. Amazing.

NOTP: Literally cannot think of any except maybe Eliphas because as much as that man denies it, that IS HIS SON 

Favorite headcanon: Should Astral become human or just be able to live on Earth (away from his planet that used him and also away from toxic amounts of chaos energy that wE KNOW GENUINELY HURTS HIM TO THE POINT OF PASSING OUT?? MAYBE HE SHOULDN’T BE AROUND THAT??) I genuinely believe he’d make an amazing dueling teacher 

He already taught Yuma how to duel and it’s something he’s good at and still likes. I can picture him getting tons of students and, more than half of them are there because they have a lil crush on him. 

I’d be his student lmao

I love ygo Zexal so freaking much,,, It’s been over ten years and it’s so good to be back. Home with my besties. Everything is right where I left it, not much has changed. Got some more merchandise (which I still can’t afford to buy) but the world is stuck in stagnation since the anime ended.

I am oh so very old now, like the canon age of Pegasus, which isn’t nearly as old as I thought it’d be. But I was originally the same age as Yuma, when I first watched Zexal… Yet I’ve aged but somehow Yuma and the others stayed exactly the same. Super weird feeling.

Nothing felt even close to the things that I felt whilst watching Zexal. It’s strange. Maybe it’s just the nostalgia?

I’ve seen many shows over the years, I’ve been in many fandoms, but ygo Zexal is still the best thing to ever exist. Or at least it’s the closest that an anime has gotten to my heart? Kinda silly, kinda intense, lots of emotional damage.

None of my friends in the real world stayed with me, they all left over time as they grew, but I know that Yuma Tsukumo will always be there when I need a pal.

Yugioh - Dark Side of Dimensions Original Pamphlet Book パンフレット 遊戯王!

I found another of these awesome booklets HERE at GoodsRepublic site! I thought I had it already, but realized this was a different one compared to my other one I purchased and posted about here~~~

This one has lovey screenshots and character bios, as well as interviews and product ads and much more! I just posted a few to show, is a great addition to my collection. ^^

Bonus Photos below!

I never posted them here, but here’s the Yu-Gi-Oh! charms/keychains I’ve made so far! I love them so much ahhhh >>>Still got a few and restocking some on my store!<<<

[ladyyatexel]

There's a shipping week I wanted to do this week but I unfortunately found myself somewhat suddenly and aggressively employed. This has put a damper on a good many things.

I think I will turn the button shop off until after Gallifrey. Work hours might not let me get to post office nur for the weekends. If you have an order in currently, don't worry, it remains and I'm not canceling anything. But it will help me to re-configure myself without it, see where it fits once the new schedule is somewhat solidified, and then bring it back when it has a nice home in the flow of things.

Also if there are other things that you might like buttons of, let me know for possible inclusion in future updating. I started fundamentally doing Yu-Gi-Oh Pride pins because that was the project I wanted to do the most at the moment, but we can expand to not explicitly pride and not yugioh, to the shock of many of you I'm sure.

I was thinking some things like it might be fun to do a whole set of the Doctor.

I thought some Sailor Moon villains with no merchandise.

Buttons that look like Homicides merch with dates or slogans or lyrics.

Additional boys to and to the "I Support Boys and Rainbows" set, perhaps.

Some additional YGO Zexal buttons are in the pipeline, as well as more Vrains I think? Also made a vague promise of another 5Ds one.

Those are some ideas. Scream if you have any also! Interested in what people might be thinking of.
