Error pages and missing kudos emails

AO3 uses a technique called rate limiting to help prevent activity that could threaten the Archive's stability or security. However, the way we usually do rate limiting isn't working, so we've had to temporarily change our approach while we work on a fix.

Unfortunately, this new, temporary approach makes it more likely you'll run into error pages while using AO3 normally. We're very sorry about that! If you get one of these errors, please wait a few minutes and you'll be able to continue using AO3.

We're also looking into reports that some users are not receiving kudos emails.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and we'll keep you updated.

WIP of TK bakura lol, need to really stop drawing during college lectures. Also ngl, MCU Loki fanart has some of the best throne drawings and serve as excellent references for poses.

BtW, my Bakura drawings will incorporate braids due to my own fanfic purposes lol. Will be updating two more chapters soon enough. But I just love drawing TK Bakura :3

“Icarus.”

it's all about freedom really

Credit goes to An Sifakah for the poem. Enjoy!

Support me on Ko-fi maybe?

This is honestly beautiful and deserves a repost. Plus it honestly fits Sabo in my op with how the concept of freedom is such a large part of his character and the revolutionaries + in being able to reunite with Luffy

Yeah this def pulls at the heartstrings, I love it sm

Yeah, Yugioh is my current new hyperfixation lmao. Meant to illustrate a baby version of TK Bakura being ultimately a pawn in the long run for Zorc but honestly imma leave this up to people’s interpretation, since I think this fits both TK Bakura and Ryou.

Also, the way I’m distinguishing them in my mind is: that Yami Bakura is a part of TK’s soul held together with fragments of Zorc; TK Bakura is the version of Bakura that is both the actual dark half of Bakura/the actual Bakura personality without Zorc’s influence; Ryou Bakura is our Bakura, the modern day incarnation of the mostly light portion of TK’s soul.

Also, drawing eyes and messing with procreate effects is pretty fun

You ever just have the artistic need to revisit old fandoms? No? Just me ok

Ngl, have to say I really miss Yugioh, both as a story and just the early fandom. Story wise, there’s so much potential in Yugioh, and while I really love the anime and manga, there’s still so much to write about. Yugioh got dark at times, and I love seeing how dark some fanfiction artists can go with it, just exploring relationship dynamics and just the history of the Millenium Items. That’s not to mention the complexity of the characters in the show and their actions involving literal murder/attempted murder, brainwashing, mutilation, themes of depression/ptsd, and a lot more (that’s just the literal anime and manga too)

But!! Most importantly, I miss what could have been for Bakura, both the TK/Zorc Bakura, and Ryou. Ryou was such a background character despite being a character with his own spirit that had its own intentions throughout the entirety of the series. He was such a sweet character that deserved so much more screen time and more development. Maybe some more explanation/story about his deck or his past, or even more about how he struggled with the ring.And, despite him serving a key role for the big bad (Yami Bakura/Zorc) he was just pushed to the background as a barley present character. Plus, still wish Yami Bakura got some kind of redemption arc, even as “villainous” as his character was, seeing as he was just as much a victim of Zorc as everybody else (plus having to watch his family die as a child, and being stuck with a literal god of darkness for 3 millennia, feel like he should have got retribution of some sort)

Idk, probably just me. So, being bored and all, I’m attempting to write a redemption fic, so we’ll see how that goes. Thus, random Yugioh fanart filled with our favorite characters + some OC work for story. Story is called Emissary of Ra on ao3 if anyone wants something to read. Its not the greatest and starts off mainly oc centric, but I’m hoping that it turns out pretty decent and well updated in the coming months 👍👍

god i just love it when a story treats a completely platonic relationship with the same level of narrative importance as if it were a romantic relationship

LIKE YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Platonic bonds are just as if not even more important than romantic bonds!!! LIKE YES A FRIENDSHIP CAN BE LOVE STORY AND THAT CAN NOT BE CONTRADICTORY STATEMENT TO SAY!!!

[adentollo]

I take back every negative thing I ever said bout rottmnt, as it has now brought bk my tmnt phase and all the characters have grown on me
