there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

is it too much to hope that tomorrow will be full of weird puzzleshipping fics and art? is that asking too much of people?

i love when a character is very clearly going through their own shit badly and is able to be sympathised with yet they are also being awful to others and hurting people who don't deserve it, and the narrative is showing how they got here but not letting them off the hook for being cruel just because they are hurting.

i dont like ☝ what happens when you introduce this type of character to a large fandom

especially if she is a woman

#the detail on the flail and the texture in his hair…..#HANDS CROSSED OVER HIS HEART BUT IT’S ALSO LIKE A SARCOPHAGUS…..#HOLDING THE CROOK AND FLAIL…..#*banging my hands on the table*#and the shapes on yugi with the wings are so crisp #the blue outline on the wings against the black gives a very subtle ethereal-looking effect #so good so good #and that’s not even talking about the sentiment of it all #why leave when we can meld our lives together and dance between life and death until we can’t remember who’s possessing who?#who’s really dead here?#yugioh

where's this yu gi oh milk fic.ive heard about, where can I read it, thank you in advance

that would be nitet! it’s on ao3. i haven’t posted the milk chapter yet, but hopefully that will be coming soon-ish.

#it’s milk in the context of a milk vessel. but there is also definitely milk #just. y’know. not posted yet.#i still have to write another chapter before we get there i think #thankfully i’d already written most of the other one that i decided was going before it #but. yeah. hopefully it won’t take too long to write another #…i say as if i’ve even conceptualized it.#it’s fine. i’ll get there.#if it lets me be able to post milk i will do it #ask #anon #yugioh #nitet

The Yu gi oh Tumblr fandom is so small lol, I feel like I already follow all the artists you re blog. Thank you for being the GOAT and keeping Yu gi oh alive a little longer on Tumblr with your amazing art.

???? SMALL?? maybe a little bit smaller compared to like spn or something? i feel like yugioh is the biggest fandom i've ever been a part of by a long shot LOL

well regardless thank you!! i will keep doing my part to parade yugioh's rickety 30 year old corpse around weekend at bernie's style. he's alive and well i tell ya

#oh yeah i wouldn’t call the yugioh tumblr fanbase small at all #a small fandom is one where people are making new fanworks at a snails pace #and everyone is joking about how it’s just them and the 6 other people in the fandom #that is not happening here lmao #people are making new stuff every day and i couldn’t even count everyone here #i can’t really conceptualize if it’s on an upswing lately or not bc. well. there are so many people here.#but if nothing else it also has the factor of it being an older fandom #it has the perk of people coming back for nostalgia #plus i think people are talking about new things so that might be bringing people back or getting more people in #i dunno. like i said it’s hard to conceptualize.#but it is by no means a small fanbase on here #yugioh

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

i love doing research and finding out information that was entirely not what i was looking for. what do you mean it takes a week by boat down the nile to get from cairo to luxor

horizontalsplash

yugioh au where it actually takes the full week to get to the valley of kings and during that time yugi and atem are actually forced to come to terms with what they really want and who they are together and the fact that atem leaving might literally kill them both but they still ultimately feel a sense of obligation toward what’s expected of them so atem still ends up leaving. or they come up with a horrible plan that actually gets them both killed. or it doesn’t get them killed but they still run off alone into egypt without knowing a lick of arabic which is also a problem. the possibilities are endless here

#that’s so much extra time…#i could write SLOW BURN soul-melding body horror within that time frame #smh. what we could have had #…the phrase ‘forcefemmed into a crocodile’ just popped into my head as another option here.#a plot option i mean #transformed. is. the word i was looking for there.#i think i need to go to sleep #ramblings

everyone is out here pointing at me and my fucked up body horror fics tonight and meanwhile i’m here in my corner like. yeah that’s me. ignore the fic i just posted that has literally none of that

phoenixwithapencil

It’s still mild identity fuckery in the swapping of who is yugi and who is the ‘other’. Also there was the whole ‘ahahaha I feel like fate is bearing down on me and trying to wring my neck and I’m terrified I don’t want it to kill me can I please curl up and hide in your soul instead?’ Which. Idk counts for something. Even if it’s technically tame relative to some of the other stuff you’ve written.

#okay yeah that is true #it’s not that i thought it was outside of the realm of what i usually write or anything #believe it or not i don’t specifically write horror outside of the yugioh fandom #i just like it. more stimulating for me or something ig #the timing of both you tagging me in something and rocketbirdie mentioning nitet was just very funny

really i think the most insidious part of white supremacy is the way it will convince white people everything is actually About Them. being called out isn’t about you. poc expressing frustration at your behaviour isn’t about you. it’s about how you are affecting others. step one is literally just de-centre yourself from the conversation. anyone who’s not white has already had to learn this lesson the hard way and it gets tiring waiting for the rest of you to catch up

rocketbirdie

Okay so im not into yugio BUT I have DID and puzzlebox as a ship or whatever it's called is so important to me actually

Like yes, show the very real and complex relationships that someone who experiences plurality has with the other parts of themself

Make those relationships real, important, and just super duper meaningful

yugioh making a comeback in the lord's year of 2026+growing support and openness for plurality happening at the same time is one helluva bingo card. nature is healing

#yugioh

rocketbirdie

puzzlejune is so sos os so so so so important and I'm glad you're bringing the boys that we so desperately need but can I humbly ask. for 1 rival. 1 rival just one.theydont even need to love each other just 1 . 1 in the same frame please i'm begging you

i like what's wrong with them in dsod

#THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE OF WHATEVER’S WRONG WITH THEM IN DSOD #THE VIBES WERE. VERY.#yugioh
