@cardplays , continued-

❝ it isn't bias- ❞ at least, that was what bruno liked to tell himself. he liked to think he had faith in others; he liked to imagine that in the end, people would pick the right path-

of course, he'd seen plenty of instances where they hadn't, but maybe... maybe one day they would. ❝ ener-d reacts to a person's heart- it isn't so different from synchro summoning- the heart thing, ❞

❝ i mean ... ❞ you have good friends and people you love, right? of course he did. bruno had more than he knew what to do with at times- more than he thought he deserved. after all, wasn't he a little out of place? ( wasn't he just in denial? speaking of the goodness in the hearts of others when it had been the darkness of the human heart that had brought ruin to the world- where there was no hope for the future- except there was. there was hope- ) ❝ people can still be good at heart even if they're rough around the edges... like jack- we might disagree on a lot, and he never gets my jokes, but i know that when it comes down to it, he's reliable- a good person. ❞

he's covered in motor oil now, but the d-wheel is looking better for sure. ❝ i find that with love and a steady effort, the goodness in someone's heart can be drawn out. and if not that, then through a duel- that's always a good way to find the best of someone! ❞

GO! DELTA ACCEL SYNCHRO!

bruno borelli of yugioh 5ds! programmed by knight ( he/him, 29+ )

[accelsynchros]

haul from my many ygo card packs that i just opened today, i'll post the other hauls later

[accelsynchros]

met up with my yusei after his cosplay chess and he seemed really happy i was going to connecticon so :)

[accelsynchros]

so uhhh the yusei i met the other day invited me to connecticon and we watched ygo abridged at a panel together last night and then went to the masquerade which is like a talent show so it's very misleading in name (there's a formal dance that happens on friday which is called "formal ball") and i AAAAAAAA

[accelsynchros]

super mechanic!

[accelsynchros]

ok because i HAVE to address this, let’s talk about bruno and romance

also known as “bruno didn’t cope ever” 

for starters, this all sorta starts with vanni borelli and his “yusei fanboy” vibe, because sure, the ark cradle wasn’t a thing that made yusei a hero in the original horrible future, but the dark signer thing stuck with people, and signers still existed- so vanni already had this idea of “someone who would be really ideal as a person” in at least friendship- he would’ve loved to be able to meet yusei fudo, because who doesn’t want to meet their heroes? 

fast forward to vanni in his early teen years, he decides with his friends that they’re going to do riding duels and evenutally compete in the wrgp, and that shit’s AWESOME in his head, so he, ruben, and mimi build a d-wheel, and yes, they had a very similar start to team taiyo, they only had one d wheel between the 3 of them, and they were just … trying, maybe a little too hard at that.

and a few years later, vanni meets rory lamont. she’s super into mechanics, just like he is! and they hit it off immediately, like good god. really, it’s a hallmark movie love story which??? bless them for it. anyway, in like no time at all, vanni is in fact engaged. rory becomes team delta’s super mechanic and thanks to the fact that she also turned out to be the heiress to lamont motor co, team delta got three (3) fancy d-wheels. 

and things were great, until the machine emperor onslaught, and the tldr of that is rory heckin died but not before she told vanni to get on delta eagle and drive as fast as he could and get to safety, and really the parallels to yusei screaming for bruno and only having one item to remember him by is … uh. wild, huh. vanni wears rory’s locket- to the day he died ( and even when he was revived, Z-ONE made sure he had it, because Z-ONE knew how much it meant to him )

smashcut, vanni meets yusei fudo, rather, he meets Z-ONE as yusei, and he ABSOLUTELY REBOUNDS. because he sees his idol in this man, and he’s so crushed by losing his first love, and he doesn’t know what else to do. it’s not healthy in that way, but he still did genuinely love Z-ONE, despite how things started. another smashcut, elian van asch joins the party, taking the name paradox, the man turns out to be a signer, and his first signer dragon was stardust. you can guess where this is going, right? shoutout to antinomy for projecting his idol ( yusei ) onto paradox, who HATED THAT with such a passion, because paradox was so jaded about the crimson dragon doing absolutely jack shit in the apocalypse. still, antinomy won him over, and the iliaster polycule became a thing. 

aporia and antinomy had the healthiest relationship between the iliaster crew- on antinomy’s side, at least. he admired aporia for surviving, not because of aporia having anything to link to yusei or to rory. aporia never knew how deep antinomy’s despair was, and really, that was for the best, considering aporia was truly a heartbreak away from dying. 

and then, antinomy dies. he tells Z-ONE to revive his soul and says he believes Z-ONE will save the future. and Z-ONE revives him, and then sends him to the past. 

antinomy meets the real yusei. he’s supposed to teach yusei accel synchro so the ark cradle will descend. he’s doing it for Z-ONE, for the future, so that maybe in the future he and rory will be happy and NONE OF THIS will have to happen in the first place, because it’s unfair to yusei. he’ll inevitably hurt yusei, and he knows this. he always knew. 

placido, who doesn’t know who antinomy is ( since aporia never knew vanni in his youth ), runs antinomy off the road. 

bruno washes up on shore. the only item he has on his person that would have any significance to who he was before is a weathered locket. the saltwater has ruined the photo inside, but it seems to be a loved one. maybe two people together. he knows it’s important, so he continues to wear it- but he doesn’t know why it means so much to him. he thinks someone out there must be waiting for him. 

bruno meets yusei, and yusei is super into mechanics, just like bruno!!! ( just like rory ), and they hit it off!!! yusei is incredible, someone that bruno can look up to, and someone he can relate to- and yusei is not aurora lamont, and he’s not Z-ONE, and he’s not paradox, and he’s not aporia for sure, but he’s so familiar, so he’s easy for bruno to latch onto. 

antinomy battles yusei as they ride on a path of light, and he knows why he wears the locket, and he knows why he wants the future to be changed and he knows he’s hurting yusei ( hurting rory, hurting Z-ONE, hurting paradox and aporia and ruben and mimi- because is this what they really wanted him to become? a martyr or murderer? ), he always knew it would happen, and he thinks oh well, love hurts. love has always hurt, and it shouldn’t but it does! 

so, tldr, bruno associates romantic love with a deep sense of loss and can’t really function properly but despite this, his love is as genuine as his agony thanks for coming to my tedtalk
