two posts in one day sure why not?? i owe u guys anyway HAAHAAHAHA
The single layer painting style has really been fun for me tbh, u just slap on some base colors then kind of "carve" the image out from it, i def need to play around w colors more like color reflectiveness, ambient occlusion etc, but baby steps!!
anyway, my concept for this was secrecy obvs, but u kno the guy wouldnt really give a flying dragon fuck about that normally, so he's def being cheeky or maybe put in a position where he would actually consider something clandestine 👀
my mental yumejo fanfic for this was you and him both know yugi is into you, but you don't feel the same way. You don't want to hurt Yugi's feelings while he's content enough playing along (maybe there's some residual respect in there for him but who knows 🥴)
At the end of the day, who really are you if everything you know about yourself stems from the life of a person you're pretending to live as?
Edit with typed out text under the read more!

I wake up at 1AM everyday. I sneak out through the window. There is this guard in my home that I don't know.

He grabs my arms and keeps me trapped in my home. He claims he's "worried" and that "I'm injured" but HES LYING!! HE WANTS TO TRAP ME INSIDE!!

Sometimes when I wake up I'm a new version of me I haven't met and I don't remember where I am and I think. Like. I belonged somewhere far far away and got trapped here as a form of c o s m i c p u n i s h m e n t. Like. A sinner taken to the slaughter. And I stop sleeping and suddenly I realise these people I call my family are people I don't know OR love. But that's cruel right. And I wake up not remembering days. Weeks at a time. And suddenly the house I thought was mine feels like a prison and when I look in the mirror my face it changes every time and I feel sick and have to look away because that's not me.
And I begin fearing that I don't recognise myself in any of my memories and I dont recognise the friends the me I see in my memories fought so hard to get and I realise that I REPLACED HIM. I AM THE REPLACEMENT. And so I try to gamble my life away and I fill "my" body with meds and caffeine and I pity the "ME" I replaced so much that I run around and s l a u g h t e r everyone who ever hurt him because he deserves to rest in peace. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually dead and this is my afterlife but haha.
That has to be a lie right. Right. Please. Tell me I'm right. Who the fuck am I now? Him? M-
