you were so lonely, you became friends with the devil

ten word story (fxckings)

[regalists]

{ ❜⋮GUIDANCE. }:

        initially, there was a polite smile             etched onto his face, but as her words grew             more and more bubbly — infectious, though             anything but toxic — he grew more comfortable,             a wink rolling off his own persona.

          ’ i know, i know. i’m truly sorry. i would have            contacted you much earlier, but you always             seem to be on the go. either way, i’m glad to             see you. ‘

           a laugh, like a chime, melodic & harmonious

          ’ surprisingly, i can also say i’ve missed that,             too. seeing you duel is a highlight, you know.             but i’ve been well. nothing new has happened,            per se. the only thing worth mentioning is seeing            you right now, i think. ‘ 

Such a blanket of security and belonging gave her comfort-- was a feeling that she had nearly forgotten. Every smile and laugh breathed relief into her, evidence that he was safe and well . . . and happy. 

   ❝ Likewise-- though, I doubt        I'm the only one who's been busy.        You and your crew have a knack for        actively staying where all the action is. ❞

She was used to missing the exhilaration of dueling-- of looking into the eyes of an opponent whose worth and skill made the world disappear. However, the curiosity of missing idle conversations was too apparent to her. Not that she didn't welcome it. 

   ❝ Can't deny that I enjoy the praise--        but, I think it's safe to say that watching me duel        is much more exciting when I'm playing        against someone who's just as good.        Saying that your presence in the arena        was missed would be putting it mildly. ❞

despite my distaste for the way their relationship played out, there's no denying that jounouchi is a huge part of mai's life and a huge factor in her motivation and dedication to truly finding herself (which makes complete sense, considering how openly selfless and unconditionally caring he is).

jounouchi has a personality that is completely outside of mai's range of experience-- she's never met a person like him before. she's never before been treated the way that he treats her.

because of that, mai instinctively feels like she needs to protect him-- he is such a one-in-a-million kind of person, he has so much goodness, and she finds purpose in protecting him and making sure that he's okay. she becomes angry and acts recklessly when he's in danger or is hurt, and she gets pissed as all hell when she sees that he's out of spirits.

when she loses him during her duel with malik, she isn't just sad and lonely, she's scared. if she can't remember him, she can't be there for him. she can't protect him anymore, and in that, she loses a purpose. mai's life isn't centered around jounouchi, he isn't her single purpose, but his role in her life-- the safety and motivation that she gets from him and his friends, is something she can't lose. he is irreplaceable, his goodness is irreplaceable, and she doesn't expect to meet another person like him for the rest of her life.

♥ I LOGGED OFF YAMI DO IT FOR HIM

CRIes OUT OF ASS

real talk tho yami yugi is such a safe space for mai and time spent with him is time spent being completely at ease, which is a feeling she rarely knows. he's a guiding force in her life, he's a motivator, he's a rival, and he's a best friend all wrapped up into one person, and i think she looks at him sometimes and is taken aback bc of how important he really is to her???

and what makes it better is that she knows that she's had an impact on his life too. she knows that he wouldn't have been able to conquer his pride and face the demons that haunted him after his duel with kaiba. she knows that she is his equal-- she knows that he sees her as his equal.

she feels safe around him not only because he's wise and loyal and is her light when she's in the dark, but because she knows that he respects her wholly and completely. his titles and skills aside, he is her friend and her guidance and he is still inspired by her, and that makes her feel so good and gives her so much strength.

she knows that no matter what happens, he's always going to be her constant, he's always going to be there in some way. and she knows that as long as he's there, she will always be motivated to learn and grow as a duelist and as a person.

Send me a ♥ to find out how my muse feels towards yours.

GUIDANCE:

            ’ you flatter me, mai.       i’m happy to see that i’m not boring you,       at the very least. i feel the same. ‘

   ❝ Darling, I'd be surprised if you were considered       boring by anyone. You may not be the talkative type--       but, needless to say, you have a knack for attracting       action wherever you go. ❞

[regalists]

GUIDANCE:

           ’ well, if i’m being honest,    i’d prefer not splitting up even if we both had one.    spending time together as is is scarce and i’d like    to appreciate it. ‘

   ❝ Can't say I blame you for craving my company--        but, in all seriousness, it does go both ways.        Looking for your friends by myself        would just be boring, anyway. ❞

[regalists]

GUIDANCE:

    ‘ mai…we’re going to track everyone down. ‘

     ❝ Sounds like a plan. I'd suggest splitting up,          but since I'm the only one with a car . . . ❞

✈ pet peeves.

i've been on the tumblr scene for a pretty long time so i've learned to deal with a lot of the shit that goes on here tbh (and there is a LOT). but the shit that stands out to me the most is probably stealing icons/graphics/style/ANYTHING, romanticizing triggering concepts and/or writing about them when u don't know how*, and aNON HATE i CAN't sTANd ANON HATe IT MAKES MY BLOOd PRESSUre gO Up IT RUiNS mY MOOd IF I sEE SOMEONe GETTiNG aNON hATE MY fACE TURNS RED ANd I GET SHAkY AND I LiTERALLY GET SO ANGRy ho LD mE B AC K.

*(i've gotten so much shit for talking about this, and tbh i've stopped caring bc i know i'm right. let me make it clear that i literally couldn't give less of a shit about anyone's creative liberty when it comes to these kinds of topics. if you trivialize abuse, rape, death, incest, pedophilia, etc. or use them as shipping bait, you're gross, you're not a good writer, and you need to stop belittling people's trauma for the sake of being edgy/dark. kiss kiss)

ϟ something i want my followers to know

i'm probably gonna lose followers/get a shitty reputation for this entire post omg rip.....bUT OH WELL!! along with the later half of my previous answer, i just wanna put it out there even tho i'm kinda shy and get anxious easily, i think i've recently learned to be a lot more outspoken and confident in what i believe in, and i deserve to take pride in the fact that i'm smart and mature and morally solid af. a lot of people here hate drama, and i get drained and tired out by it myself. but, if something needs to be said, i'm gonna say it lmao.
