I'm an analog person.

It means my life is AI free. I coined this as a phrase for myself, and have used it to casually describe myself to peers in person.

I don't use AI, Alexa, Siri, or any of the fancy smart fridges, or what have you. I live a fairly simple life. And prefer to do most things myself without involving big tech and AI, or connecting my appliances to the internet.

But mostly I use that term to describe an AI free life. I don't need big tech's experimental slop and plagiarism machines to live my life.

And I'll continue to do my own research, write my own emails, resumes, essays, recipes, etc. I'm not going to outsource my intelligence.

I'm an analog person. I can think for myself.

Has he been trapping her for days? Weeks?

He didn’t know anymore.

 Did that thing change him? Was he going mad?

Why did he change his mind? Why did he put his guard down?

His eyes were not black… they were golden.

Why did golden eyes disturb him so deeply? They should be black.k.

They were supposed to be black.

He was supposed to hate Malik as much as Malik hated him.

His eyes were golden.

And it was not hatred; he fully believed he felt it towards him, and he felt it the moment they made eye contact for more than a few seconds.

He felt it. like his darker half was a missing piece of himself. like there was more to him.

No, he was still the evil inside him. He was something he couldn’t allow near him again. He was a temptation that would only cause him to have blood on his hands. He was not good.

Yet… his eyes were golden… not black.

Why did that matter so much?

Why?

Why?!

Malik knew he had left the room. Somehow, it bothered him.

And that is what scared him.

highly inspired by dm17fox version of hers Azrael Grimreaper. check it out, it is awesome story/art

Azrael Soulreaper, also known as the Grim Reaper, Collector of Souls, or simply just Death.

She is acutely aware that people do not expect someone like her when it is time to collect, so she prefers to stay hidden when collecting souls of those who have died.

She deeply regrets what happened to Lucifer, refusing to give herself the grace of knowing she was barely created/super young when he was cast out. In her eyes, she still turned against him along with the others.

After the elders pressured/forced Azrael to kill all of Lucifer's creations. Azrael has become so traumatized that she vowed never to claim a life before it is their time. It has led to a lot of harsh, straight-up bullying from others, as the elders view it as her avoiding her duty.

Azrael is the former general of the Exorcists' army, who all carry one of her feathers, which granted these Winners, the lesser angel status and the ability to gather souls. But most of those she choose has been removed, and now her feathers are given to whoever Adam finds “sexy” enough to join his Extermination

I know that Mahado and isis's love story was supposed to be tragic, but I meant, is there any hope that you could create a story where they are together (not necessarily together in general, but there are romantic scenes), even if it's as a single story?

Not sure if I can do it with Mahad and Isis in my current story, but if people want to see it. I could maybe have Mahad and Ishizu come together. I know it is not the same, but it does seem like Ishizu bears some of Isis' feelings. Unfortunately, I don't have any more ideas for Yu-Gi-Oh stories after I am done with the one I am currently writing. There are only so many stories I can write.

[fableworld]

Hello, I want to say that I admire your writing for Yu-Gi-Oh!, especially the story of Atem, and all the illustrations you created were amazing🥹🫶

The idea that Mahado is the son of a free slave and that Aknadine hates him is perfect , and I wish his relationship with isis had any romantic moments🤏😊

Do you also have any tips on how to become better at drawing poses?

I am glad you like my Yu-Gi-Oh! stories and drawings. It is not always easy to figure out what to draw and how to draw it.

The story of Atem was probably the most difficult one. I didn't know a whole lot about ancient Egypt, and the documents I could find were mostly from the wrong time period. Thank goodness for Wikipedia!

Having Mahad/Mahado as a child of a slave was my idea of why he behaved the way he did and why Priest Seto treated him the way he did. It always felt like he had something to prove, unlike the rest of them. It felt like he felt he was less than the rest of them. hence why I made him a child of a free slave.

I wish I could expand on Isis and Mahad's relationship. I really wish I could, but their love was meant to be a tragedy. It was meant to show how much they both sacrificed to become high priests and to be from different castes in their society. "Life of the Nameless Pharaoh" is a tragedy; it didn't have a happy ending, but it did have a hopeful one.

Woo boy, that is something I still struggle with. You might note that most of the poses in my relationship project with some Yu-Gi-Oh characters are very simple. That is me cheating out. I can tell you how I am making poses, and you can decide whether to take it off. I actually use Google images from time to time. They don't always work, but they are mostly for arm- and hand poses. The rest I can work with on my own. I NEVER copy and paste an entire image. I usually take two to three different images from Google and put them together like Frankenstein monsters. again, mostly with hand poses or a certain sitting position. You might notice that some of the Yu-Gi-Oh images I have made look very similar to something drawn in the manga or the anime. Yeah, I retraced, but I did add A LOT of my own style to it. I made the characters bigger or smaller to fit what I want.

I also have a sister who has a program there that can make me pose. it is only used when I cannot find the correct pose. Instead of using that (it costs money), take a picture of yourself or someone else (make sure they either have a t-shirt on or at least a fitted shirt) and tell them which pose you want them in.

If I don't feel like making hands, I normally hide them behind the character's back, have the character clench the hand, or use a default relaxed hand, which is seen in most of my drawings, so I don't need to draw them. I hate making feet, which is why all characters always wear socks or shoes.

I don't know if that answers your question; if it doesn't, feel free to ask me again.

Just because they are all out of high school and have begun their adult lives does“Look! A giraffe!” Serenity pointed out to the kids.

Iris screamed happily while Kaito reached out like he wanted to touch the animal. Serenity must have realized that Kaito couldn’t see the animal and right away looked guilty. “I’m sorry, Kaito! You can’t touch it.”

 “Okay…” Kaito said sadly.

 Atem walked over and scooped up the kid. “Use your senses.” Kaito frowned, and Atem helped him to look in the right direction. “You can feel it. Feel the strength of it. Feel how tall it is. Feel it, and you can see it.”

 Kaito stared intensely at the giraffe. Iris stood beside Atem and tried to do the same, but it looked more like she was glaring at the poor giraffe.

 “What is he doing?” Serenity asked Joey quietly. Of course, she was confused since she had never seen it before.

 “Atem figured out the kid can see through his other senses. Kinda like a snake, I guess. Or maybe more like a bat.” Joey said. He wasn’t 100 percent sure how magic worked since there were so many different types of it. All he knew was that Atem could make creepy glowing hands, Yugi could make creepy shadow hands, and Téa could heal a broken arm, but needed to eat a cow afterwards. There was also something about being able to summon specific monsters like Bakhura could, and if that one was killed, you were in serious trouble.

 Serenity looked just as confused as Joey was when he learned about it, but he was sure she would figure it out with time, just as he did. She is a smart girl after all.

 “Wooow.” They heard Kaito say so Joey guessed he could finally ‘see’ the giraffe.

 “Guess he ‘saw’ the giraffe.” Serenity smiled.

[fableworld]

here is something new. I usually get many of my ideas to me and my sister's world through daydreaming or just downright dreams.

but this time I dreamt about something I cannot use to my own world because it would break the frame I made to ensure rules are logical in that world.

but with what I managed to remember and recreate from my dream was too good to be forgotten so I am pretty much giving someone else the reign to this lore and world.

so far, I have called this concept CONSTELLATION because of the heavy use of star signs in this world.

Remember, this world/concept is entirely based on a dream, so a lot is missing, including names and major plot points. But I will tell you what I remember, so you can work further on it if you want this concept.

more under the cut

All in this world seems to have powers of different constellations. The main character has the power of Aquarius, which means he can bend and create water. People with animal constellations can turn into that animal, and even if the dream didn't show me more than a few people, I guess the people with an item constellation (think Libra or a star sign called "the cross") are lower-ranking people. The normal people, pretty much. So this world has three different types of people. Shape shifters, element/physical control, and the Items. I guess you can give the people with the items constellation some sort of power, too, if you want.

From what I gathered from the images in my dream, people do seem to have prejudices against each other. The Draco see the main character as useless because he can 'only' control water, so it seems like the shape shifters might be the top rank, or at least mostly used in military. There might be some ranking between them, but then again, the Draco might just be a racist towards element bearers or something like that. I cannot say how the world's views of each other are structured.

There might be people who are not part of this constellation magic since the henchman(henchgirl) did not show any signs of having any constellation elements. Maybe my brain couldn't give her one because ideas were running out, or maybe I just couldn't think of one at the time. If she didn't have constellation magic, it means that this world might function like the Avatar world, where most people are non-benders, and 20-30% of the world is benders. It would bring another social structure concept with Constellation people versus the normal people. Maybe she was just one of the Item constellations people, since she was unnaturally agile.

The main character has two constellations. This was made very clear in my dream, which was super rare. He has an Aquarius from Western star signs and the Azure Dragon of the East, a Chinese star sign. This could make him a typical 'chosen one' or an outcast. I do not know what he was, since the dream didn't tell me. only that his two constellation marks worked together.(Easter dragons are known to bring rain and luck). With some star signs being seen in more than one constellation, it might be possible that there are more like him. Maybe it only shows up sometimes in people with parents from different cultures. I do not know what triggered him to be the 'chosen one'. The dream didn't tell me that.

The characters you see in each image are the ones I got a clear view of and recreated as best I could with what I have. I do not know all their roles, only that they were somehow important enough for my dream to show them to me. There are more details on them in their images.

So… I am willing to give this world away to someone who WANTS to build on it further. I do not want it to be placed in a box and forgotten. I am willing to help build on it further, but I would wash my hands of most of it. I am even willing to allow it to be part of the FableWorld universe, but it cannot be in the same universe. It has to have its own little thing, even if I do allow you to pull the Time dragons into it and a few others who are known to travel through space

Back on the stage, Yugi could see Atem on the other side, talking with Seto.

He didn’t wear anything similar to that day, but the way he walked, the way he looked. It all reminded Yugi about that fateful day,

Light, dust. The last goodbye in the form of a thumbs up-

“Yugi” Ryou's voice broke through his hazy mind. He felt his hands on his shoulder, “deep breaths. In and out.”

Yugi followed his instructions.

In and out

in and out.

He hasn't realized how close he was to a panic attack.

Been a while since he has had one of those.

“Sorry... it just-”

“I know.” Ryou smiled. He was possibly the only one who knew how Yugi really felt. They have been in the same situation, even though their personalities were different. “Do you want me to stand over for him to make it easier for you?”

“I would like that,” Yugi nodded quickly.  He felt dumb that this was bugging him so much. Atem was back. He was here, and this was so far away from Egypt as they possibly could be. “It's silly.”

Ryou hugged him. He was a great hugger, and Yugi found himself clinging to him. “Trauma is not silly. It is like a scar. It will never fade, and you have to live with the ache, seeing it every day. Someday, you just get used to seeing it.” Yugi pulled away from him. Amazed how true that was. Ryou smiled, “Bakhura told me that.”

That made Yugi's brow fly up in his hairline out of pure astonishment. “Huh.”

“Yeah, it surprised me too,” Ryou smiled, amused. He patted his shoulders, encouraging, “We got this, Yugi. I am right here.”

“Thanks, Ryou. It means a lot to me,” Yugi said and meant it. They began walking onto the stage. Seto and Atem met them halfway. Yugi looked somberly knowingly at his other half. He looked just as tense and nervous as he did, “Here we go, Partner.”

Atem smiled. “I knew we were going to face each other.”

Yugi nodded. He knew that too, with how both of them were dueling.

Seto walked over to Yugi and exchanged decks with him so they could shuffle. Seto seemed distracted by something else.

Seto glanced at Atem, who was shuffling Ryou's deck. Atem gave a small nod, silently communicating, 'I'll tell you later.'

Okay then.

“Hi, Seto.” Yugi tried to be nice and returned his deck. “May the best man win.”

Seto gave him a flat look. “Which are not going to be you two. I assure you.”

“Cheer up. This is meant to be fun,” Ryou said cheerfully.

“Seto is allergic to the word fun,” Yugi joked.

Ryou looked genuinely concerned.   “Oh, sorry to hear that.”

It made Yugi and Atem smile, amused at each other.

“Are you three done?” Seto asked, annoyed, “Time to duel already?”

“Someone is impatient. Are you thinking about setting this place on fire or blowing it up if you don't win? I don't know with the rest of you, but I like to get my stuff first before you do, thank you,” Ryou blabbed out.

Yugi stared in astonishment at him.

Atem looked like he was trapped between wanting to laugh and keeping his calm demeanor. He ended up looking like he was holding a fish in his mouth.

Seto looked like he either wanted him to tell that was exactly what he thought about doing, or wanted to strangle him for thinking he was going to lose.

Yugi couldn't stop grinning. “Never change, Ryou.”

Ryou beamed at him.

“Good luck, you two,” Atem said with his own smile. That comment clearly lifted his mood.

Seto's outraged face might also helped the mood.

“You too.” Yugi nodded, and they went to their side of the stadium.

Yugi and Atem made eye contact when they drew for the first time. Both of them were smiling.

[fableworld]

separated images of the future front page of my fanfic "New Dawn in Domino City."

I am not going to explain the images, since they are either in spoiler territory or just don't need a description.

These ones are slightly in the spoiler territory, so I am only going to drop the names of these characters, and that's it. This is Takumi and Heba, and you'll have to read future chapters of my story to learn more about them. You probably know who they are.

[fableworld]

let me present to you; the Mutou household critters.

first is Marshy the Marshmellow.

this critter is the biggest of Yugi's pets. they are typical gender as they/them/it. sometimes also as a male but that is rare. Marshy is pretty lazy so seeing them sleeping or used as a pillow is common in the household. they are also the one causing most trouble since when they are awake they act like a goat by eating inedible things such as everything you find in a trashcan or shoes. the family have more than once have to rip a shoe out of this greedy bastard's mouth before eating it or coming home to find every non-lockdown trashcans being tipped over and part of the content on the floor.

once they also tried to eat one of the Kuribohs but that was the first and last time they did that.

Marshy doesn't care about a stranger in the house, so they're terrible guards. They only attack when Yugi or someone else in the household commands them. Marshy tends to go after the leg. Probably because they want the intruder's shoes.

-

Second is the Kuribohs

they cannot be called Kuriboh brothers since three of them are females and even if they are considered Yugi's pets, they are probably more Atem's critters since they like to hang out with him.

Ibah is the playful one. She is not the smartest either, since she is the one who makes the most mistakes, Sakura the Watapon for another Kuriboh, and was the one close to being eaten by Marshy the Marshmallow if not for her brother helping her out of that. Ibah has also been caught mistaking a mirror for another Kuriboh, and Atem even means that she mistook hair for another of her species. So she is the one who tries to sleep/play in Atem or Yugi's hair.

Ribeh is the protective one. She is also the one who attacked Marshy when they tried to eat Ibah. Ribeh might have an eye defect because her eyes are different from the rest of them. It does not look like it is messing with her sight since she is swift to act when something is up. Ribeh is a massive guard dog who will attack anyone unwelcome in the house.

Riboh is the leader. He was the first Kuriboh Yugi that Yugi found in his last year of high school. He is the most loyal of the Kuribohs and the leader, since he invited the rest of his family to hang out with Yugi when he moved to his own place. He is also the one who puts the rest of the Kuribohs in place when they are acting out against the people in the house. Riboh is also playful and loves to dance around, but he will attack intruders who treat his people. Also, he is the same Kuriboh you see in Capsule Monster and the one you see every time Yugi/Atem uses the Kuriboh card. Possible why he is so protective of them.

Bee is the sassy one. She doesn't mind being mistaken for a boy, but she is the biggest troublemaker of the Kuribohs. It is possible because she is the youngest and is pushing boundaries. She is the one with the most significant tendency to bite and scratch. Riboh is the one to put a stop to that, even if Bee rarely listens to him, so a lot of fighting happens between those two. It looks a bit like kittens fighting, so the household seldom stops it. Also, because they are tired of the biting.

Boo is the shy one. He is mostly seen hanging out on his own or staying close to the other Kuribohs or Sakura. He is also the quietest of the bunch, so he has, by accident, spooked Yugi and Téa more than once when they walk past him and don't notice him before it is too late. Boo is sometimes harassed by Bee, but instead of telling her off, he just moves to a new place and acts like part of the wall. Boo only makes a lot of noise when he is scared or in distress.

-

The first one of Téa's critters is Sakura the Watapon.

you would think this critter would belong to either Atem or Yugi but she was found by Téa in New York so she prefer Téa. Sakura is the pretty girl of all the critters and is mostly seen hanging around on softer places like the bed or couch.

Sakura do not like confrontations and prefer to be around one of her owners for either pets or being dolled up. she make sounds there do sound like purring when she wants attention. she prefer to hang out with the Kuribohs since they sometimes mistake her for one of their own.

She is a terrible fighter and would rather run and hide than attack intruders. She actually uses the household people as her guards rather than the other way around. She is more of a pet; she is cute to have, but not very good at anything other than looking and sounding cute. Téa likes that about her, so she doesn't mind.

-

the second of Téa's critter, Shaba the Happy Lover.

if you have seen the spin-off series of Capsule monster, this is the same Happy Lover that Téa meet and befriend in that show. in my version, he survived the games and ended up finding a way to get back to Téa in New York. he is named after the dance studio Téa danced at in New York.

he is super loyal to Téa. so much that he would always see her as protection when he is in danger and would follow her orders without question. it is rather common to see him perch on her shoulder or being in the same room as Téa. when Téa is not around, he would lay near the window or door and wait on her with big sad eyes. Téa have begun to take him with her everywhere because she can't stand seeing him sad.

Shaba might not be strong, but he is the first to scream his fluffy head off if he feels danger coming. he would fly around and make as much noise as he can to tell if something is wrong. he is very sensitive to strangers so he would began his warning calls(mostly around Téa) when he do not recognize them. he would only calm down when Téa holds him. he have ensure that nightly intruder is caught right away because of his early warning so none of the household have been unluckily enough to be asleep while strangers was in their house.

He relaxed with his drink and looked at home here.

“I like this place. People are nice here.” Téa said. The bartender has more than once told men to stop harassing her. Most of those men were in her ‘friend group’ and tried to set her up with. Many of the dance team members were banned here after one of these incidents. She sighed while she nursed her fruity drink, “but it is not really home, is it? I do like to be here, but it’s not really home.”

“You miss your family,” Atem said. He was drinking a root beer since they didn’t sell wine. Atem prefers that.

“I miss everything,” Téa said and looked at the people on the scene. She couldn’t even enjoy the music. She watched them for a while and thought about everything. Then she sat straight and looked determined at Atem, “My mind is made up, I want to go home. I don’t want this dream if it means I never can have my own family or see my friends.” Atem nodded, but his face stayed neutral. Téa blinked and smiled when she realized something, “I am seeing what you are doing. You’re doing the same I did when you didn’t know where to go.”

Atem cracked a smirk and shrugged, defeated, that he had been caught. “I learned from the best. Sometimes you need to enjoy life to realize what you want in life.” he leaned forward and held her free hand in his. His scarlet eyes were honest, “but I did hope you wanted to go home. We are all missing you, and I am sure we can figure something out to ensure you are still doing what you love.”

“Maybe I can get myself a dance studio.” Téa thought loudly to herself. Atem nodded encouragingly. She finished her drink and got up, “Let’s dance.”

Atem took the rest of his drink in one mouthful and got up with her. They walked onto the dance floor, where they began a slow dance. Atem looked at her with so much admiration that Téa swooned. “I adore you, Téa. Never forget that.”

“I adore you, too,” she whispered and kissed him lightly on the lips. He kissed her on the forehead right after. A thing he also did to Yugi, she noted, was to say, “Thank you for being here.”

“I wish Yugi were here, too. He is better at coming up with encouraging speeches than I am.” Atem smiled while he twirled her around.

Téa laughed when she bumped into him in her twirl. “You used to rule an entire kingdom.”

“There is a difference in speeches,” he defended himself. It was clearly done as a joke, as his eyes twinkle with amusement. He kissed her on the edge of her lips, “like there are different ways of saying I love you.”

Téa looked at him and felt loved. She really did. “Let’s get out of here.”

Atem nodded. He went to pay, and they left the bar to go back to Téa’s so-called shoebox.

Joey felt relieved that it was over. It has been hard for him to see Mai in pain. At least her birth was fast. He felt tears in his eyes when he first saw his little miracle. She was currently cleaned up and taken care of by the nurses and midwife. She did not sound happy about it, as she was screaming.

He turned his attention to his wife instead and kissed her forehead, “You did great, Mai,” he praised her. He couldn’t stop kissing her. “holy shit, you were strong all the way.”

Mai looked exhausted, but she also looked happy “Thanks for being here with me.”

“Always,” Joey smiled. He knew they both had family drama, but right now, it was just them and their newest family member. Joey was surprised he kept such a calm head under it all. He guessed he only took it seriously when people he cared about were on the line. Mai was a real trooper today, even if she was cursing up a storm. He was more surprised she didn’t snap at the doctors for telling her to push so many times. Probably too busy doing what she was told and crushing Joey’s hand. He made a mental note to have one of the nurses look it over just to be sure she didn’t actually crush his hand. One of the nurses handed their little girl to Mai, and Joey rested his head on his arm, looking lovingly at both of them. “She looks like you.”

“I think she sounds like you,” Mai teased while their baby calmed down.

“Eh, could be worse,” Joey shrugged and looked at his daughter. She has blonde hair like her parents, but it was incredibly messy at the moment. The nurses did a good job of cleaning her. He wondered what eye color she would have.

Mai chuckled and rested her head a little. Joey was just looking at both of them. It has been touch-and-go for both of them during Mai’s pregnancy. As he had predicted, she was a nightmare with her cravings and emotions. They fought a lot, but they never once went to bed angry at each other. He was happy that part was over, but also happy to finally see his baby girl.

Serenity asked him what he thought it would be, and he didn’t really know or care. He was just happy so long as they were healthy. He also told his mom about the pregnancy at their official wedding, only a month after Atem came back, and he swore she nearly screamed like a schoolgirl when she heard it. She has been a proper help throughout the pregnancy and has given both of them warnings and pointers on what to expect in the future. Joey was sure she was the reason why Joey and Mai didn’t try to kill each other throughout it all.

He had been scared the baby didn’t make it because of what happened with that psycho Goddess, who killed all of them, but those thoughts were soon wiped away when Mai got bigger and grumpier. Mai’s and Serenity’s near-death might have been the reason why Joey could handle all of Mai’s craziness during her pregnancy and was also ready to face whatever they were going to hold when their baby girl was finally here.

He was not going to lose them again.

“You can let the others in. I want them to meet her,” Mai said after a while.

Joey nodded and got up. The nurses have left the room to give them privacy. He got out of the room and found nearly all of his friends in the waiting room. He felt happy to see how many have been able to come “Hey, she wants you to come.”

“Is it safe to enter?” Tristan joked likely.

Joey smacked his arm jokingly. He was too mentally exhausted to do much else. “Depending on what your motives are,” he stepped away to let them into the room, and he couldn’t stop smiling happily, “say hello to our baby girl.”

Serenity was the first to reach Mai’s side. “She’s cute! Look at her. Mai helped her to hold her correctly. Joey melted at the sight of his little sister holding his little bundle of joy for the first time. “Hi, I’m your aunt, Serenity.”

The rest went over to congratulate Joey and Mai and see the baby.

“How are you, Mai?” Yugi asked Mai while they were looking over the baby together, with Atem fawning over her with Serenity.

“Exhausted. I just pushed a whole human being out of my body,” Mai huffed.

“Then we make it a fast visit,” Atem promised her.

She looked gratefully for that.

Joey was about to walk over to his wife when he suddenly found himself in a headlock. “Congrats, man! You’re a father now,” Tristan grinned.

Joey chuckled and got out of the headlock. He was still very dulled out from everything that happened today. “Still can’t believe it.”

“Well, you have to get used to it since now you are going to have sleepless nights for months,” Tristan joked.

“Does she have a name?” Duke asked

“We have three girl names we both like,” Joey said and went over to hold his baby girl. She was so tiny. It felt unreal to hold something that small and his by blood. He sat down beside Mai on her right and looked at her, “Which one do you think fits her?”

Mai looked thoughtfully up at the ceiling “Iris?”

“Iris Wheeler Valentine,” Joey nodded in agreement.

Yugi went over to stand beside Joey. “Welcome to the world,” he smiled warmly at Iris, “it might look tough-”

“But you will only find love and loyalty in our middle,” Atem added with a smile.

it is a little sad we didn't see how and why Priest Seto and Kisara ended up loving each other.

we do know that Seto saw a power inside of Kisara there was like no others. he wanted this power for himself but along the way, he should have seen Kisara as more than a means to an end. he began seeing her and not a power to harvest.

Kisara have always looked up to Seto because he helped her were others would just let her die in a ditch. he gave her water she was denied and he gave her shelter. again, we do not see why she fell in love with him other that he kept saving her.

but something must have happened between them, maybe Seto stopped seeing her as a servant or something strange. maybe she managed to melt his cold heart? maybe they learned from each other.

it all depend on how you write the two of them is my guess.

Atem do not know Aknadin was is uncle. Aknadin made his brother swore he never knew. was it out of guilt of what he did or was it because Aknamkanon realized what he have done and renouced him as a brother? maybe Atem did know but since we only see the relationship through memories of a confused broken spirit, it is hard to tell what type of relationship Atem and Akandin have or if Atem knew what Aknadin was to him.

with Aknadin being the younger brother of Aknamkanon, he would never become a Pharaoh even if he was probably the better choice of you asked Akandin. he wasn't as soft as his older brother was.

he knew his son, Seto was the better choice of becoming a pharaoh, he was older, smarter and stronger than Atem. he needed his son to become the next pharaoh instead the son of a soft-hearted fool.

so his envy began to spiral like a votex but he never did anything about it until he was influenced by the darkness of Zorc. then he began killing and betraying to ensure his son got what was rightfully his. no matter the cost.

Those two never interact in any of the media they were in, but it is funny to think about the what-if scenarios where they did. Mana would show off her magic and put on a sparkling spectacle for Kisara. Not sure how Kisara would react to it, though.

(Kisara's new clothing is based on what authentic ancient Egyptian clothing would look like. I just gave her more clothing on the upper part.)
