hi. waves my arms. i just wanted to let you know i adore your yugioh art to bits and pieces and it's been a massive draw for me exploring a lot of the deeper themes and bonds of it !! the way you emphasize the Blend between yugi and yami is just like, straight up crack to me. and i know ur into final fantasy which i think? is also known for it's weird stuff with clones and alternates like that? but i'm curious like,,, is this a common thread between ur interests? is there certain works that've made you have more on an eye for this interesting identity meshing or have u just always rocked with it? :0
HI!!! THANK YOU :D
I'd never really thought about it much before I got into ygo but now that you mention it, yeah i'm a sucker for identity horror. It's wild how much overlap there is between FFVII and yugioh when it comes to themes about identity, memory, life and afterlife, layers of reality, etc. I might also have a painfully obvious soft spot for spiky blond autistic men with wildly distorted senses of self. i suppose that could be considered a common thread LMAO
Before i got into yugioh i was indulging in a suspiciously similar concept to yami and yugi's whole Thing, in the form of my Zack/Cloud mind link au. Two bodies with one mind, as opposed to one body with two minds. Tomato tomahto.
Might also explain why my favorite horror game is SOMA. Combination existential+identity crisis of all time. I'm just into bending people's consciousnesses into new exotic pretzel shapes i think. It's good for the soul :3
