Got more Arkana stuff, plus Duel Links news! An NPC Legendary Duelist for new cards AND a new playable one! If I had to guess I’d say for early August we’ll duel Super Mai, Super Pegasus, or Super Ishizu like the Super Joey event, or maybe someone new like Vivian Wong, and for late August it’ll either be Yugi vs Yami Yugi like the end of the series, OR regular Marik where to get to him we have to fight someone else first, like the possessed Joey or more of his Rare Hunters. That’s my guess anyway!
“Once per turn, during each player’s End Phase: The turn player must Tribute 1 face-up monster, and if they do, inflict damage to their opponent equal to half the original ATK of the Tributed monster.”
🎮 controller - what type of video game would your f/o enjoy the most?
well strategy games are an obvious choice. and i think he would like fighting games... i'm also forcing him to play mmorpgs with me. i can heal for him <3
🧋drink - what would be your f/o’s drink order?
some sort of coffee... maybe an americano. idk i don't drink coffee. or... ugh. red bull 🤢
yayyy s/i lore!! how about 2, 9 and 10 for your ygo dm self-insert :3??
yaaay ty for the ask ^_^
2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?
wellll i see him as being a side/bg character in the early manga. but he joins the main cast around battle city and that's when he comes into the main plot properly. i don't really have an intro scene in mind, it would probably just be him dueling though
9. who are your self insert’s closest friends?
ummm other than the kaibas? definitely ryou, also befriended yami bakura and marik somehow (their matching hater dispositions. also self indulgence bc they're my favs) aaand he's very close with mai but that's more like an older sister thing. other than them he doesn't really have many friends, most of the yugioh cast he's just friendly(?) acquaintances with
10. how do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?
Um idk... if anyone in universe has strong feelings it's either "wow two assholes... birds of a feather" or "why are YOU going out with HIM" Or "haha i didn't know kaiba could have feelings like that." and then they kicked in the shins. nothing specific's really coming to mind for this otherwise sorryyy
i don't have any screenshots of just his hands but this one makes me kick my legs and giggle a little. damn bro your knuckles... they're kind of flustering me rn...
👞 Post a screenshot of a detail or accessory of your f/o’s that you really like or find interesting.
i forgot if everyone gets the nose scrunch or if it's just chazz. i think it's everyone. but oughghhghh it's so cute on chazz i'm about to start crying :'-)
😳 Post a screenshot of your f/o that flusters you.
hmmm… how about 👋, 🏠 and 🌛?? for whichever f/o you want :D
👋: Do you like to hold hands? What are their hands like?
yesss i love holding hands... umm i feel like his hands would be elegant but slightly calloused and he has long fingers. to match with the rest of his lanky ass :-/
🏠: If you’re both on say, a couch, what’s your usual cuddling position?
something like this? i like sitting funny on couches so that applies to cuddling also i Need to have my feet up lest i cease to fuction optimally l death note style. this is usually just the result of me leaning on him while we're sitting regular on the couch
🌛: Who is more likely to doze off on the other?
me. i'm not a particularly sleepy guy but i don't feel like seto would be the type to fall asleep on someone
there are so many good questions it is so hard to choose only a few >_< how about 1, 3, 34 and 42 for the fic writing ask game??
YEEE let's freaking go ok ok
1.) What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)
Hehe welll I think maybe the best introduction to my fics would honestly be A Change of Heart. It's like... pretty old but I think it makes for a good introduction to the creepier/darker fics I've been working on! I was going to say Cornered at first, but i don't know... I feel like that might be a bit of a shock to someone who isn't sure what I'm all about HEHE, but it really depends on the person! ...So in conclusion, one of those two :]
3.) What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?
I thiiiink overcoming personal internal obstacles is a trope/detail I think a lot of my fics have HEHE even older fics like Rivalry deal a lot with feelings of jealousy, not being good enough, asking for help.... You know, all that lovely angst that makes characters relatable/interesting :] But are also important for growth!! They have to grow!! They have to learn!
Also I think another trope I have is, like. putting Ryou and/or other characters in danger JFEFH buuuuut I do it for a reason I do; Ryou is just such a strong character.... Any antagonist is going to have to do the Absolute MostTM to get him to break and, even then, it's not enough to keep him down! I just really enjoy testing Ryou's patience in different situations with different characters hehe... He can do anything he literally can <333 He is not someone to be underestimated!!!!
34.) What aspects of your writing are inspired by/taken from your real life?
Oh man, I mean, I always put a little bit of me in everything—I am but human after all! But I can name some specifics here and there
The Clean Sneak is inspired by living in Chicago! Domino is basically meant to be 1920s-30s Chicago, and a lot of the streets are actual street names in the Loop area, lol.
Without getting too personal, a lot of Cornered and Ryou's character were based on my own experiences dealing with like, anxiety and ptsd. Cornered was honestly such a healing fic for me to write LMAOO they are just silly guys and Ryou is oh so strong and deserves a long nap fr <33333
In general, I get a lot of inspiration from places I go to/visit, classes I've taken, talking w my friends... The world is such an inspiring place and life can be so interesting to dwell on when you want to make it into a fictional story HEHE :]
42.) Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?
First of all, every comment ever sticks out to me because I know how specific and niche being an AU enjoyer/writer can be, so to receive ANY comment is absolutely amazing and thrilling for me :]
Now, thinking off the top of my head, there was one comment I got on The Clean Sneak from someone where they were saying that they never really sought out fics centered around ryou, malik, tkb, etc. and that the AU plot and atmosphere was intriguing and they couldn't stop reading :') .... that one felt really good to read I was quite charmed by that one hehehe <3
THANK YOU for indulging me and asking me questions :3
