I never got where this whole thing of Atem being this amazing flirt/sex god and all this shit and Yugi being so timid and wouldn’t even dare speak when the topic of sex is brought up like- One of these guys shares porn with his friends and the other just thought of trading cards the whole time on a date

No seriously zjkhzkfdgh I’ve cracked the code

Arthur C Clarke wrote the Space Odyssey sci-fi series (the movie is more well-known, but there were actually 4 books). The last book, 3001 The Final Odyssey, is famous for popularizing the concept that maybe you don’t need rockets to get to space–maybe you could use an elevator.

The first time I watched dsod I was like “oh, that’s a funny coincidence, it’s like 3001.” But I didn’t immediately think “oh, the writers must have intentionally lifted this plot point directly from a British sci-fi novel.”

But Arthur C Clarke’s other most famous book is called Childhood’s End. And the plot of Childhood’s End (as best as I remember it–I haven’t read it since I was like 14) is:

Earth is conquered by aliens. The aliens get rid of hunger and war, and at first it looks like they’ve turned the planet into a utopia. But then people realize that all the children on Earth are losing their emotions. At the end of the book, the children form a powerful psychic hivemind and ascend to a higher plane of existence.

It’s revealed that the aliens, which no one had seen in-person until that point, look like devils. And the reason humans designed mythological devils the way they did is because humans all share a universal subconscious memory, spanning both the past and the future, and humanity subconsciously foresaw that the aliens would steal their children.

…and then everyone’s too sad to ever bone again, so the human race dies out.

Anyway, unless I’m completely wrong–and this seems way too close to be a coincidence–that’s why the plot of dsod is Like That. They just…..grafted the plots of two Arthur C Clarke novels onto a story about Ancient Egyptian trading cards.

A lot of deep sea creatures are coloured red, but since the colour blends in so well with dark water it just ends up looking black or dark blue.

In short, combined with the horn-like crown, submerged home, and pitchfork/trident, Poseidon is just another name for the Devil.

Humans misinterpret Hell as an underground cavern of fire, when in reality, it’s a boiling sea floor stoked by hydrothermal vents and exposed magma.

Dante describes the Ninth circle of hell as being where traitors are crushed in a dark frozen lake, which sounds like deep sea trenches or brine pools

Notice how the only thing demons and mermaids have in common is dragging human souls down?

There’s a reason why sailors used to call mermaids “Sea Demons”.
