🔥 Yugioh 🤔

Unpopular opinion regarding Yu-Gi-Oh! but Akhnakanem is worse than Akhnadin. At least, I’d be willing to bet that’s an unpopular opinion?

Before I get into why, I’ll just, cards on the table state that Akhnadin’s classist and quasi-ethnocentrist genocide of a whole village was an evil, and unforgivable act. There we go. Got that out the way.

So, why is Akhnakanem worse imo? Well, Akhnadin’s decision to murder a whole bunch of people (still not okay), was predicated on ‘there is a murdering army arriving to rape and pillage the entire kingdom including that one village and we have no means of protecting our citizens at all and lots of people will die’. 

I think anyone deciding which members of a population are disposable human sacrifices for the greater good is-- uh, inherently a complete monster? That is a monstrous thing to do. But I can also have a degree of sympathy for someone caught in the trolley problem.

We also know Zorc’s influence is incredibly corrupting -- thus how Akhnadin goes from willing to not only give up his birthright over this crime (a fraction of self-awareness) as well as disown his son in order to protect him from cultural karmic inheritance (look it up, the egyptians are big on that), to-- trying to murder his son cause they disagree kinda? That’s kinda nuts. Zorc jammed Akhnadin’s already questionable jelly right up.

Compare this to Akhnakanem who:

1. Never questioned where his brother got the items, only that whatever it was needed an army, dark spell book and like a whole bunch of priests died and never came back.

2. Even when Mahaad specifically is like uh your highness, I think these items are made of soylent green, Akhnakanem doesn’t strip Akhnadin of council position, doesn’t make any efforts to honour the people of kul elna, doesn’t have a damn burial, just kinda does some half-assed whining on behalf of his son who HE LETS FALL OFF A FUCKING LEDGE.

3. Canonically uses the items to not only repel the army that had Akhnadin so fucked up, but then became the same army, by using the items to conquer surrounding nomes. THAT IS CANON.

Akhnakanem is a goddamn cowardly bastard who reaps the benefit of his people’s deaths by going to war, and Akhnadin made a horrific decision, but did so in order to save lives.

SO like. Js.

Mood Board for @drawing-cookie

Happy birthday Cookie!

[lexisicle]

I took some inspiration from a few other people's prompts and made my own list of prompts for my first Inktober. Mine are all gonna be an "oc" (@drawing-cookie is being considered my oc for inktober) but if anyone else wants to use the prompts, they can be an oc, a friend, you, anyone your heart desires.

I wanted to pick prompts that were more casual and not so magic-y or spirit-y because I don't really celebrate Halloween, and as I strict Christian, I don't feel comfortable with all the spirits, and demons, and the like.

If you decide to use these prompts, you can credit me, you can tag me, you can do both, or you can do neither. It doesn't bother me if you don't do either. After all, I made these for myself to have fun, not to get notes.

Happy Inktober everyone!

Joint idea between me and @bellaraeanne for @drawing-cookie 's parent au

So if yugi and kaiba came to the school judai would do all he can to avoid them until awkward family lunch cortusey of yugi and kaiba booking in plain view of everyone judai is just ducking and groaning the whole time yugi asked who johan is to judai who at the time is not sharing his relationship

Sooner he does admit it but when he does he brings Johan round and Kaiba tells johan to duel him where rainbow boi isn't phased

It's pretty much to see if he's worthy of judai lol because yugi and kaiba were talking about marriage for the kuriboh

I think johan is just excited to duel kaiba

I feel like both online and offline, when a Kaiba Stan says they like Seto Kaiba, people assume that we see him like this:

And think that we don't see his faults/or ignore them when in reality, we KNOW he's dramatic af and that he's problematic, but we like him BECAUSE of those faults. A more accurate representation of how we see Kaiba is this:

(@drawing-cookie feels the same way about Tenma, I'm sure)
