Sound of Silence Chapter 6

I was honestly rather surprised by how quickly I wrote this chapter. Especially since I ended up having to split it up. (Chapter Seven has to be edited and polished before it gets uploaded, but it will be posted sometime soon.)

Chapter Seven has been polished and edited. It's now live.

It was while writing this chapter that allowed me to officially decide on the pairings. I tagged Atem's relationship, but I haven't tagged Mokuba's or Seto's.

This chapter took a few turns that I didn't expect, but I'm honestly rather pleased with how it came out.

Surprise (I'm Not Dead)

Even without the ring, he could still feel the bond between him and Ryou.

Bakhura revives in an alleyway on White Day and decides that what he wants to do is get his former host a gift. It's easier said than done when he starts to reconnect to humanity.

It had been a normal enough morning for Ryou. Wake up, stay in bed letting the misery consume him, and then crawl out of bed at the last second to get dressed. Ever since losing the ring, Ryou had felt as though he had lost a part of himself. The ring had been a part of his life for as long as he could remember, and needless to say, things were weird now without it. It was like losing a limb; he could still feel the weight of it against his body, clutching his neck, hitting his chest as he moved, yet, indisputably, it was gone.

PSA: stuttering in fics

as someone with a speech impediment, all of the people saying that only one type of stuttering is valid are wrong.

stuttering CAN look like this: "t-this is a-an example s-s-sentence"

OR this: "this-this is an example sen-sentence."

OR this: "t-t-t-th-..t-ttttthis is an example sentence."

OR this: "this is, uhm, an example, uh, sentence."

OR this: "this is an example sssssss-sentence."

OR this: "this is an examp-...this an example sentence."

sometimes the sentence won't even come out of your mouth at all.

there are probably many examples i'm forgetting, but that's the point! it usually is a mix of a few of these, but some people do one of them more often than others! some people with speech impediments have certain sounds that they almost consistently have trouble with (for me it's "st").

people with speech impediments also rarely-if ever-stutter whilst they're singing or whispering.

most importantly!!!! people with speech impediments are capable of saying a sentence without stuttering!! it can just be a gamble sometimes.

and if more people could portray the frustration that comes with stuttering and not being able to get words out, i'd be a very happy girl.

(fun fact: sometimes when my mouth won't let me say what i want to say, i get so annoyed that i just yell or grumble out "WORDS.")

this was your speech impediment PSA!!!!

I've been meaning to make a post about this for years, and I spoke my mind to a friend and I don't think I'll ever say it better than this, so here you go.

Thief King Bakura speaks truth to power.

So during COVID and amid all the BLM protests, I had a loooot of time to think, and inevitably I found myself thinking about Yu-Gi-Oh (you can probably see where this is going). And specifically how the oppressed who fight back always get labeled violent thugs/terrorists/etc to discredit them. And sure, maybe some of these actors do horrific things that are unjustified (such as TKB killing a bunch of innocents).

But.

That doesn't address the fundamental problem, the violence that incited it all in the first place, enacted by the *state,* not the oppressed.

And here's the timeline that makes this so fascinating:

Aknadin decides to sacrifice an entire village to make magic weapons to fight some foreign enemy, and he orders his troops to massacre a poor village. He accidentally leaves one survivor, a child

Aknadin buries this event, knowing how horrific it is. When his brother the Pharaoh finds out, it kills him (but they still use the items)

Said child swears his revenge and makes his pact with Zorc to gain the power necessary to enact that revenge

TKB confronts Aknadin and the now Pharaoh Atem with the truth. Atem dismisses it as a lie. Aknadin justifies it by saying Kul Elna was a village of thieves whose lives didn't matter / were inherently dangerous and evil

We see that exact script every time the police kill a Black or brown person ("they must have been a criminal / resisted / deserved it") and in Gaza ("well Hamas is just as bad /worse") and in the war on terror ("they're all dangerous, we have to kill them before they kill us") and literally every time the oppressor wants to justify their violence against the oppressed.

And here's the thing! First of all, even if Kul Elna was a village of thieves and low lives, they still didn't deserve what happened to them. And the crazy part is, we *know that's not true* for the simple fact that a child was there to witness the atrocity. It was a village of families.
