I went over this post twice before realising. I was like "oh it's just set up like a still life painting, right". NO IT'S FUCKING NOT!

[funkyness]

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what’s more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

wands are like the smartphone of the wizard world, a slimmed and streamlined spellcasting apparatus of the modern era that has many slightly older wizards going "ugh kids these days don't know what it's like to have the sturdy weight of a Staff in your hands at all times. sure its not as portable but at least i can still use it to beat a motherfucker when im out of mana."

[redstonedust]

there are gen Z spellcasters trying to lead a wizard staff revival but they're all made out of cheap wood and crystals they bought on tiktok live and at least one has splintered and exploded on their user. meanwhile grandpa is in the back like "in MY day we had to memorize all our runes and draw them out of thin air backwards in the pouring rain 5 times a day"

and wizards who use scrolls and tomes to cast their spells? linux users.

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

yes conservatism is on the rise yes tradwife content is as popular as ever yes pink jobs and blue jobs are fucking stupid BUT there is still such a big change in how straight women are talking about relationships online.

they're talking about how they're no longer interested in dating because their female friends treat them better than boyfriends do. they're realizing that being single is always better than being in a bad relationship. it's becoming a lot more normal and fun and hot for women to be single at any age. the women who have settled down with truly good men in truly happy relationships are encouraging other women to not take any shit because the right man won't need to be "trained". they're talking about how their mothers and grandmothers warned them to get a job and not get married, and they followed the advice.

tradwife content is performance. it's propaganda. there are so few women actually living that life. but we know for a fact that more women than ever are educated, working, and single. and all I see (admittedly in my woke ass algorithm) is women talking about how they're done settling for mediocre relationships. and I love it.

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙

Powerful message that lovingly includes multiple disabilities, united. I love this.

I understand the value of artistic liberties but what exactly is Yugio's haircut supposed to be. I've wondered this since childhood

[teaboot]

Yes yes yes its just supposed to look interesting and cool, it's not supposed to translate into the 3D space, but if it did what would it be

[teaboot]

As we can see above, this haircut:

Is dark in the back, blached in the front

split into minimum two groupings: Body and Bangs

Spiked in the back, likely with the use of gel or styling mousse

Obviously this is an anime, and as other features such as eyes, ears, and legs are exaggerated I feel it is safe to interpret the length of hair as exagerrated as well.

This is a convenient assumption because otherwise, spiking shoulder-lrngth hair into seven (minimum) rigid vertical spikes would be impossible to maintain.

Assuming a real-life Yugio haircut could exist as inspiration got this style, I imagine a haircut that is either short and spiked in the back with natural bangs, or long in the back and textured with shorter bangs to frame the face. Either way, either the front is bleached, or the additional blond spikes in the back could be interpreted as highlights throughout the darker, perhaps natural hair.

Given these criteria, I have narrowed the possibilities dow to these three hair styles:

That Thing

No fourth option because I'm right

[gallusrostromegalus]

So there is a definitive answer for this, according to the people I know who Cosplay Yugi/Yami of Yugioh and style wigs for it: They start with No-Bangs Bobcut , Dye it the appropriate colors but in the same pattern as "That Thing" (AKA 'White bangs") above, usually by applying sucessive layers of warm colors (yellows, then reds, then warm blacks), and then Gel into a Hyper-Karen Bob.

So it's a Red-shift-White-Bangs-Hyper-Karen-Bob cut-and-color, and that's one hell of a mouthful, so it's fine to just call it a Yugioh for short.

[mousegirlheart]

I think I may have a guess for this

Yugi and Atem have slightly different hair, with Atem having a more extreme version of Yugi's hair. However, it is important to note that there is likely no actual physical difference in Yugi and Atem's appearances. His close friends, before finding out Atem existed, simply noticed that Yugi seemed more confident, not that he got taller, voice changed or hair changed. So that might not be diegetic, but a difference for the audience's sake.

It's also worth noting that anime tends to exaggerate things, particularly hairstyles. So in reality, Yugi's hair may be less like this:

But more like this:

This is a bonkers haircut for a shy, quiet, goody two shoes Japanese schoolboy to have

That's cus he's goth!

He wears chokers and stuff. He's shy cus nobody talks to the weird goth kid who loves gaming.

[ocqueen]

It's actually Visual Kei, though there was definitely overlap between the goth/punk subcultures and the Visual Kei world! The author was pretty openly inspired by the Visual Kei culture of the 80's and 90's, which has many many hairstyle examples that are similar to what Yugi wears:

The show itself had many collaborations with Visual Kei performers and bands, too, so it's pretty obvious how the series takes inspiration from the culture aesthetically as well. You can see it in some of the fashion choices, too, not just the hairstyles, as well as how visual kei took cues from and overlapped with goth and punk styles as well:

It's the costume designer in me, but I always think it's important to remember and reference the period and location something was made when you're trying to figure out why it was designed the way it was, and how to realistically recreate it.

Yugioh is very obviously of its time, and that's a good thing! Take a dive into learning about the period subcultures and you'll find lots of cool things there, and a lot of insight into why your favorite things were made the way they were, too. :)
