Just heard the news about Kazuki Takahashi. I'm... pretty shaken up about this right now, but I just want to say that without him, without Yu-Gi-Oh!, I don't think I'd be where I am today. I messed around with the cards when I was little, never really playing by the actual rules until much later. I watched the anime after school, right after Pokémon. I played the video games, as confusing as they were for a kid. I got older... and I met a silly boy in high school who played the TCG at the lunch table. Then I got real into it, falling in love with all these characters Takahashi created, the universe in the manga & anime just pulled me right in. I drew, SO MUCH. Now, me and that silly YGO lunch table boy are more or less married, and we've gone to multiple YGO tournaments, made so many friends, memories, and experiences revolving around this franchise. So many things in our apartment have been metaphorically 'touched' by Takahashi. Figures, the whole Duel Monsters manga set, blu-rays of the movies, even animation genga that's framed on the wall. So yeah. Takahashi... meant something to us. I'm just so sick of crying, man. 2022 has been really hard. @studio_dice, thank you for being a huge part of our lives. Thank you for creating an amazing world with stylish and over-the-top characters, for creating the biggest card game in the world. Thank you for everything. Rest well, king. Legends never truly die. [Here's some old art from just after high school, when I was in peak YGO brainrot. Thanks for listening to my vent. I still need to talk about TERA too, but... that post's for another day.] #pechoart #fanart #yugioh #kazukitakahashi #ygo https://www.instagram.com/p/CftmLvYLR7E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
