Some cool news for today: someone uploaded the uncut English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters to the Internet Archive!! They used to be all online, but got taken down, only 2 were avaliable for a while

Yu-Gi-Oh (Original Uncut Edition) : 4Kids Entertainment, Kazuki Takahashi : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Episodes 1-9 of the Uncut Yu-Gi-Oh Dub breifly produced by 4Kids Entertainment and distributed by FUNimation in the early 2000's.Episodes 1-

For those that don't know: This was an attempt by 4kids to make an uncensored, more accurate dub of the show, released directly on DVD, with most of the same cast of the older dub. They didn't sell very well, so there were only 9 episodes released, but we have these at least (i believe the episode 10 in the link is an fan edit)

((...opens up steam))

((Update I’m still downloading the main game it seems because my laptop is having a time TM.

But it’s still counting for gameplay so I may not even have to actually play the game at this point to get my dragon lmao))

((Okay here’s a post about Atlantica Island in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream))

My first three people I made before I got the main game in the demo were Ariel, Sokka, and Katara. Ariel did initially like Sokka but then it faded very quickly and then was just super awkward between them but now they’re besties.

Made an Eric and of course it was instant between him and Ariel. They have Melody and a son named Lyric.

Made a Seto Kaiba to get him and Katara together and unfortunately didn’t work out. So then I made a regular Yugi Muto and now they’re married with a daughter named Hoshi.

Hoshi is married to Phoenix (who is mine and my husband's kid)

Gryphon (who is also mine and my husband's second kid) really fancies Melody.

Made a Suki and her and Sokka got together and have a son named Hakoda who Lyric (Ariel's son) fancies a lot.

Made a Zuko who initially fancied Katara but Katara rejected him TWICE. He now has a slight crush on Toph.

Made a Joey Wheeler who fancied Zuko but then Zuko rejected Joey (Rip). Made a Duke Devlin and Duke and Joey are together.

There is also a Tea and Atem on the island who are together and have a daughter named Ivy.

Made a Serenity Wheeler who fancies Toph AND the latest breaking news as I'm typing this is that Katara FANCIES Serenity.

Of course we have an Iroh on the island and we might make a Grandpa Solomon Muto and/or Professor Arthur Hawkins for the old man club.

There is a Mokuba as well as a Rebecca Hawkins (Mokuba and Rebecca have no romantic interests) and a Tristan Taylor.

I'm considering making maybe some people from Stardew as well as other Disney characters. Potentially also an Aang and or Azula and Ty-Lee / maybe Mai (both Mai from ATLA and Mai Valentine from Yugioh).

And that's what you missed on Glee.

Where did Seto get his confidence from ? Confidence in appearance ? In business ventures ? In card dueling ? And , does he suspect his baby brother will carry that same level of confidence ?

With his birth parents growing up, there wasn't enough time to have Seto experience confidence encouraged by them. When there was primary school, there was instances to show off to them or to be encouraged to go for things. Even the willingness to help out his mother with Mokuba takes confidence.

The bulk of the confidence stems from Gozaburo. Seto had to be confident and assured of himself even in the orphanage to prove to Gozaburo that he and Mokuba deserved to be adopted by him. He had to be confident enough in watching / reading about Gozaburo and other chess grandmasters to learn strategies. As now the newly minted Kaiba "heir", Gozaburo would not have his child be scared or weak or insecure. Seto had to be confident that there was some kind of prize at the end of the day. That he will take over KaibaCorp. That he will protect Mokuba from the hands of Gozaburo. That he will have solid vision / his holograms be better than military weaponry.

The confidence in his appearance happened around when he got KaibaCorp. Seto getting handmade suits tailored to his growing frame and since he has stopped growing, everything he has is measured to the centimeter whether it's a three piece suit, a trench coat, or something as simple as a blue tee with the KC logo embroidered. Him beginning to work out with trainers and solo to gain his muscles and abs.

In card dueling of course stemmed from winning but then being a strategist about it. While in the beginning (and still today) Seto has played for the power and greed and the titles of it all, his decks are structured by him for him. Of course winning local and then national championships to then "winning" his first Blue Eyes and then getting the number one rank inflated his ego and became his downfall at the end of the day.

Seto hopes Mokuba is a confident person. He hopes that as he grows up, he doesn't become as egotistical as he was at his age. But he hopes his little brother can never feel insecure or shy at the end of the day. It won't be the same level due to the change in upbringing.

quick sketch of one of my oldest and most beloved ships

[sapphireceo]

“ You look very handsome today , Seto .” Katara mused as she peeked at him from the edge of her book then went back to reading like she wasn’t just staring at him , the tip of her nose and apples of her cheeks slowly shifting to a pink hue . @droplct

Kaiba's fingers stilled on the tablet that was in front of him. Sharpened, sapphire eyes went to his girlfriend who was 'reading' the book. He was more 'casual' today due to the seasons changing; opting for a well-fitting onyx coloured button down tee with his darkened blue dress pants, his platinum belt, and his dress boots.

"As opposed to looking handsome every day?" He asked as his lips quirk to the standardised smirk of his as he leaned back in his seat. "That colour looks decent on you as well." Is he talking about the attire Katara is wearing, the colour of her cheeks, both?

Who is really to say?
