A study in remembering who you are and accepting that ego and pride go before the fall. Atem'un Ra Son of the most high and pharaoh of all of Egypt. Knowing that death will always loom and part you from those you hold dear and moving forward.

OOC will be very limited on this blog. I work full-time and will truly only be active maybe one day a week at best. If that is not enough then please find another. Most of the blog (read threads) will be placed on queue.
✨Drama free
I will not be a part of call out culture or the clique mentality. This includes reblogging callouts or dealing with people who are apart or included in them. This is a micro blogging website and there is an actual life out there to be lived. There are far better things to spend your time on. Block, move on, and get over it tbh.
I will respect each of you and treat you as you treat me. Anon hate will be blocked and unanswered.
If you constantly vague or come off as elitist I will block you. If you roleplay with one of these types of people often I may softblock you just to keep my dash clear for my sake.
✨Don’t be a thief!
Don’t steal my icons, head canons, verses, etc.
I don’t mind sharing head canons and such if asked about them, but I have spent years developing Atem I will know if you steal.
✨Private
Please do not interact (like, reblog, or send asks/dms) if we are not mutuals. I do not have the time or energy to give non-mutuals tons of attention.
✨Selective
I have the right to deny threads/asks/ect at my discretion.
Do not bother me about replying.
You can ask if it’s been over 2 weeks.
I am open to duplicates, but I will not follow first.
Once again, I am limited on free time. This is a hobby and I will not put my sanity or mental health at any risk because of people who have chronic online syndrome. There are 0 strikes if you act a fool I'm outtie.
I will not follow if you try to control how I rp or change how I format.
Following is consenting to how I rp/how I format.
I will not follow if you constantly blog hop.
I understand that sometimes a new blog is needed, but if it’s constant I will not follow back.
✨Please have a basic bio/rules/mun
Not minor friendly, 18+ only. Would prefer to keep company of muns over 20 for comfort but you do you.
Mun is 25+
Mun goes by Ven.
I am not your meme source.
✨You do not know my muse.
Don’t act like you do.
Atem is his own being and no two are alike.
Forcing your own Headcanons and bias on mine is unfair to mun and muse.
✨Triggering/ Dark Content
Yugioh is actually quite a dark triggering show, and triggering topics can and undoubtedly will happen on this blog.
This can be including but not limited to:
Gore
Violence
Cannibalism
Drugs
Death + animal death
I will tag them as trigger //
I will be willing to RP triggering topics to varying degrees, but do know not all are open to rp.
Consult me first!
Mun does not condone the use/act of:
Drugs, violence, sexual assault, incest, pedophilia. If you are neutral on any of these that means I do not want to deal with you.
The magician knelt on one knee before the throne, supporting himself by his staff in one hand, the other in fealty over his heart. "My Pharaoh. I ask to speak."
Random Asks (always accepting!) @nevertem
The gallant palace was gilded in alabaster stone and painted with vibrant dyes. In nearly every spot one could look there would be an exorbitant display of wealth, not that Atem was truly awed by the grandeur anymore. All of it became commonplace for the king. Yet- upon words spoken by the most cherished of friends and advisors Atem can't help the curiosity that is piqued.
Brow lofting with full attention caught and ensnared. In the throneroom formality reigned, even family had to address their superior as such. Order was to be upheld by the sun birthed in human flesh. "Speak Mahad, you have my ear." Part of the king's mind wondered if the warriors from the northern planes had begun to ravage again. Was it news of war or perhaps a chance for change in these times of peace-guarded prosperity?
mutaheir: "I've been trying to get rid of him for days."
Oh, you mean the little unsightly thing of a tabby that's been all too excitedly circling his ankles for the past ten minutes? Since some of us are busy inputting numerical variables into the state-of-the-art holo terminal sprawled out before them to actually pay more than a solid sliver of attention, he's only going to say this once. Pay attention.
"You're the one who wanted him. Last I checked, Yugi is busy being a good samaritan; he hasn't missed a single day since school started. Guess you're gonna have to shove the responsibility off on someone else then .. and we all know your preference for setting me up. Good thing I came prepared. He can stay during weekends. Weekdays are off the grid for me. You're welcome."
Surely it can be said of the one to whom the animals find favor, and attest their keenest senses. Slender arms do scoop up the mewling mass, it's little paw raises up and paws at gilded earrings causing the golden jewels to sway. Perhaps get rid of was said in haste. Atem had taken the cat in, in pity of the washed out fuzzy mass. Yet the furry feline was quite the friendly boy and Atem was all to happy to have a pet in this time. One who he could dote on while his companions were otherwise occupied with the trivialities of modern day strife. Finger curls around a cute pointy ear as digits rub in slow circles melancholy stirring in the ancient soul.
"I do want him, but I didn't want him to get hurt or lost. Most people don't want a stray, and he tends to make a mess when no ones looking." Lips downturn looking at the sweet kitty a certain guilt for his previous words Bastet take some modicum of mercy in his betrayal. Exhale seeps past as he nods. "Weekends are a start. I'm guessing the condo is still off-limits?" Crimson flicks sheepishly despite the royal status as he's so often told in this day and age he's just a normal man. A very bitter pill he was still barely swallowing.
Scrolls, scrolls, and countless more scrolls. A seeping sigh does past lips as palm props up the noble chin. He'd been staring at these words for what seemed like days- even though truthfully it'd been only for a few hours. Yet, they never seemed to fully enthrall him. Magic study or even the bliss of swordplay was more entertaining to the young regent than deligating funds.
Sure, send workers to the east field today to harvest and store away thirty percent for the months of thin. Then send them to the west fields to open the irrigation canals. So fun- if this were a game it was the boring part. Hardly a challenge at all. "Mahad- I know this is needed for the people, but surely this can be handled by one of the other advisors. Must my eye cover all of these documents?"
Pre-series is far more relaxed and willing to open up about things. There’s a naivety about him, as the world is supposedly his. He’s becoming the King and dealing with the day to day of his kingdom. There’s training in war-fare, and lessons in strategy of troop placements due to the looming nations looking to take over the new reign. However when it comes to being serious he will lock away that youthful side and hone in. His goal is to win and come out on top. He will not stop until he defeats his opponent. RP aside, he has no relationships to worry over, and his main focus is on his people protecting them. However do not think him a pushover. Offend the throne and he will lay down the law upon the person. He believes a good king will lead the attack.
However Post-Series due to the darkness of being bound with Zorc for so long gave him a more aggressive inclination (EX s0) The darkness twisted his view of life. To him it was the game and nothing else, willing to kill and cause people to go insane. While during his time with Yugi he does ease up and calm back down it doesn’t stop that mindset that’s already been altered in him. If someone were to attempt to harm his friends or Yugi he wouldn’t hesitate to stoop to murder for them. Yugi is the reason for his compassion to grow back.
