Attack to @imaginarystormz featuring her oc, Missy!

For the character meme I’d love to know your thoughts on Trey Arclight so far!

TREYYYY ;__;

favorite thing about them: sobbsss i love him so much i think hes my fav of the Arclights (which is a hard pick as it is, I love all of 'em). I just love that he's this very sweet kid but also, like the rest of his family, A Little Bit of a Freak. And I'm also just a major sucker for characters who are devoted to their family for better or worse, that shit makes me go WILD!!! he just wants his family to go back to how it was and for everyone to love each other again and he was willing to do a murder-suicide over it....GOD. 😭

least favorite thing about them: i want. to like his chronomalies so bad. because the concept is really cool. but when so many of them are like "this is a piece of ancient indigenous artwork From Real Life but it's like a weeEEEIrrrrDDD extra-dimensional time-displaced thinggg!!! Where'dddd this come from ooOoooOOO!!!" I'M A LITTLE LIKE 😬 I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE CHIEF. I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE LITTLE WHITE BOY HAVING THIS ONE CHIEF.

favorite line: can't speak for the sub but I think a lot "it's your family. they give you power. it's not the same with me. my family is different than yours." a LOT. he's so upset when he says it and it makes me want to explode!!! KIDDO ;_;

brOTP: wahhh his dynamic with his brothers!! Especially with Quattro, I love yugioh siblings and these guys just knock it out of the park. I love the concept of this little pink macaron of a kid getting along all things considered very well with his maniac older brother. Their Duel Links interaction dialogue is so good.

OTP: not sure if I have one really, I'm not terribly interested in ships with zexal's younger cast..... trey/yuma is pretty cute though. Activating each others' special interests in yuma's point and click adventure game of a room.

nOTP: if you ship him with his brothers i will beat you to death ❤

random headcanon: autistic little guy perhaps headed towards some Gender in the future. Has 600 hours in like. Civilization V. Likes fancy iced coffees.

unpopular opinion: i dont even know what zexal opinions are unpopular or not. i guess i like 'Trey' as a codename better than 'III' but I'm also Dub Name Liker Extraordinaire

song i associate with them: SOBS I DONT HAVE ONE FOR HIM YET though im only halfway through zexal...takes me a while to simmer on songs for ygo guys i like. im certain I'll find one for him in the future.

favorite picture of them:

this one i think..... im so continually bowled over by how cool Zexal's lighting is. Also his sickass armor he had in his duel with Yuma RULES and I love his little smirk here <3 unwell 15 year old <3

For the ship meme, either zinnia or daybreak if you’re feeling it!

Zinnia

who is more likely to fall asleep on the couch

its pretty evenly matched

who makes meals and who is more likely to hoard take-out menus

Aoi does both but Miyu is lazier and loves her takeout

who gives nicknames

Miyu

favourite non-sexual activity

karaoke came to mind but i like to think Miyu is part of an athletics/sports/swimming club at her high school and Aoi’s a supportive gf when Miyu’s allowed to have guests at her meets and stuff

who leaves notes for the other to find

neither?

who crosses the street to pet a cute dog

Miyu. she has no impulse control.

who takes notes on the other’s favourite foods and makes sure the fridge is stocked

Aoi but it’s not hard. Miyu loves, like, everything

who apologizes first after a fight

they both try to do it first but more often than not, Miyu

who is more protective

Aoi

who says “I love you” first

Miyu!!

Daybreak

who is more likely to fall asleep on the couch

tempted to say its evenly matched but Jin likes to be Comfy so it’s Yusaku lol

who makes meals and who is more likely to hoard take-out menus

they both live off Shoichi’s cooking

who gives nicknames

neither

favourite non-sexual activity

cuddling/sharing blankets. jin’s a total cuddle bug

who leaves notes for the other to find

neither but I can kind of imagine Jin doing it

who crosses the street to pet a cute dog

Jin does and Yusaku is thankful because his introversion/anxiety makes it difficult but yay for Jin’s bizarre impulse control

who takes notes on the other’s favourite foods and makes sure the fridge is stocked

neither lol

who apologizes first after a fight

its mixed; it really depends but more often than not Yusaku since I perceive Jin as slightly more passive so Yusaku does it so Jin doesn’t have to feel uncomfortable trying to do it first

who is more protective

Yusaku

who says “I love you” first

Jin does

[incorrect-vrains-quotes]

Maybe 2, 4, 6, and 29 with safeshipping for the otp meme? :D

2. Who is the big spoon/ Who is the little spoon?

Shoichi is the big spoon and Akira is the little spoon.

4. Who wakes the other one up with kisses?

Shoichi wakes Akira up however, I would like to point out that Akira always kissed Shoichi good night 

6. Who would have really deep emotional thoughts at the middle of the night/ Who would have them in the middle of the day?

Shoichi used to have them pretty much all the time so he’s had to train himself to have an excellent poker face so his thoughts don’t suddenly make it look like he hates the customer in front of them. Akira is during the night kind of guy; during the day its just depressing since he’s working and therefore all revelations are about the blight of capitalism and being a dog of the system and that’s, well, depressing

29. Who is the better cook?

gosh this is extremely difficult but I’m going to stick to my guns and say Shoichi because he’d be the one who’d make meal plans I prefer. Akira eats salad and its disgusting whereas Shoichi has a nice repertoire of various things you can do with meat.

For the ask meme, maybe 20, 26, and 27 for whichever yugioh(s) you're feeling!

What is the purest ship in the fandom?Wishshipping probably wins it for the entire franchise tbh. It's so soft..... I love itMost shippable character?JUDAI YUKI. There are very few characters I can't at least /see/ potential for, even if I only actively ship a handful of them.Least shippable character?Prooooooooobably Kaiser, in terms of major YGO characters (bc there are a lot of easy answers with x villain or y oneoff). I like pre-canon - season 1 Idolshipping a lot, but I can't see their relationship going past that once Kaiser hits his slump.

Sharing the Spotlight

Rating: PG

Summary:  Sawatari stands by his belief that there is only room for two entertainers at You Show.  With Dennis stealing away his rival, Sawatari is determined to prove that belief once and for all. For @imaginarystormz

There was a lot Sawatari had put up with to pursue a career as an entertainment duelist.  His father had almost blown a gasket when he had dropped out of LDS to enroll in You Show.  Leaving LDS meant losing out on a lot new cards, and dear lord had dealing with those B-list stars been painful at times too.  Still Yuya at least had potential.  His presence alone had made it bearable.  Getting to face and challenge his rival at any point kept his skills sharp in ways LDS had never been able to.

Still even that small advantage was slowly being taken away from him now.

When that Dennis fellow had arrived in Standard, Sawatari had found no reason for them to accept that traitor.  He had never felt completely comfortable about that Sora guy, and this one had been unstable enough to apparently card himself.  Still apparently Yusho knew him, so that was that.  He might have been able to tolerate at least having to see his face around occasionally if Yuya didn’t all of a sudden become so attached to him.

It just didn’t make sense.  Dennis was hardly flamboyant and showy anymore.  Sure sometimes he could put on a show for the younger students, but there was nothing he could do that Sawatari couldn’t.  It wasn’t like he was jealous of him for getting Yuya’s attention.  It wasn’t like his blood boiled every time Yuya brought him to a lesson with his arm hooked in the crook of Dennis’, smiling and laughing and doting on the pathetic traitor.  He wasn’t jealous of all.   He had just decided that Yuya might need some persuading on who the better entertainer really was around here.

“You want to do what?”  Yuzu shot him a wilting look once he proposed his idea.

“It can’t be that hard to pull off can it?”  He sighed in exasperation.  Neither of them were too fond of the other, but she had already managed to tolerate him for all these years as it was.

“I’m just not sure how well our decks will mesh together.”  She shrugged, but Sawatari couldn’t help but think there was more to it than that.

“If you’re worried about losing, then don’t.  I can carry the two of us perfectly fine, but I know they won’t accept unless it’s a ‘fair’ fight.”  He cupped his head in his hands with a nonchalant smile, waiting for his words to set in.  And oh, she tried so hard at first, but it was plain to see her competitive side was starting to grow heated.

“Don’t kid yourself Sawatari,”  Blue eyes hardened.  “I can handle it.”

“Then how about we challenge them before my Pendulum lesson to the kids?” “As long as it doesn’t cut into my Fusion one, then we’re good.”

“Alright,”  He walked away with a smug grin.  He couldn’t waste a second if he was to properly fine-tune the details of his deck.

The next day, Sawatari cut right to the chase.  As soon as Yuzu finished the last of her curriculum, he swung into action.

“Boys and girls, and students of all ages,  for your good behavior this week, Miss Hiragi and I will challenge Mr. Sakaki to a duel for you!”  From his position broadcasting the announcement to the entire school, Yuya appeared completely caught off-guard while Yuzu gave him that ‘I can’t believe this is really happening, but it is so you might as well go along with it,’ look.

“And that’s not all.  If I am defeated, then I pledge to take the entire class out for ice cream!”  He darted out of the room before he could observe the kids’ reactions, but when he joined the Yuya and Yuzu, their expression told enough.

“Well Yuya, are you going to disappoint your audience so?”  Sawatari couldn’t hold back the excitement in his voice.

“2 against 1 isn’t very fair, you know,”

“Oh, well you can pick a partner of your own,”  He tapped his chin as if pondering the subject.  “How about Dennis?  Or is he asleep at this hour?”

A quick yet painful glare from Yuya told him he had crossed the line with that conflict.  Thankfully before  he could start to feel real guilty about it, Yuya’s expression turned neutral.

“If he’s up for it, then I guess why not have some fun?”

The next five minutes were spent wrangling Dennis, preparing the tag duel, and making sure all the kids were there in one piece.  While they counted as students too, with the expanded Junior program, Mr. Hiragi requested them more and more to take on part-time teaching roles.  It wasn’t half bad if he was honest with himself (at least not when the kids weren’t crying).  Still Sawatari was too caught up in his dream of stardom to think about settling in a boring job like that.

Soon you’ll see up close why I’m destined for greatness, Yuya

The two teams took their sides and with a flourish of an arm, the duel began. Sawatari and Yuzu got off to a great start, bringing out their aces quickly.  Still Yuya and Dennis held their own.  It was to be expected.  Excitement took time to build, no use ending things too soon.  Sawatari kept adding more sparkles and pizazz as each turn proceeded, outshining Yuya’s and Dennis’ individually.  Frustratingly, Yuzu wouldn’t go along with the act at all.  When he complained about her not cooperating, she’d just give a tired sigh and insist she was simply doing things her way.

When she ended her turn once more, Sawatari was about to complain again when suddenly, a call came in on her duel disk.

“Hold up a second, while I take the call,”  She motioned to Yuya right as he was about to pendulum summon again.  “Yeah...Dad?!...wait a sec...alright I’ll be there,”  With that she took off her duel disk and began strolling to the exit.

“What are you doing!  We’re in the middle of a duel here!”  Sawatari couldn’t hide the panic bubbling up his throat.

“I got more important matters to handle than your jealous tiff.  I’m off.”

And like that, she was gone.

The duel didn’t last much longer after that.  As great as he was, 2 against 1 really wasn’t fair, and Sawatari’s deck wasn’t designed to handle multiple opponents.  He fought until the bitter end, but that annoyingly endearing phrase of Yuya’s sealed his fate.

“Are you ready?”  Dennis said with a smile brighter than usual.

“Mmhm, the fun has just begun!”  Yuya returned to him an equally intense one, and Sawatari tried to ignore the way his heart shriveled up.  “With that, Odd Eyes attacks you directly!”  Sawatari went flying as his life points hit zero.

So much for outshining them.

The defeat hurt more than the impact had.  All this time he had been chasing Yuya and he was still as far behind as usual.  Maybe Dennis really deserved to be his rival instead.

“Hey, you alright?”  Sawatari looked up to see Dennis approaching him, almost looking concerned.

“Considering I was just humiliated, no.”

“What for?  It was a good duel.”  He shot Sawatari a quizzical look.

In that moment, it occurred to Sawatari for the first time that maybe this competition was only one-sided.

“If you’re worried about paying for the ice cream, I can pitch in,”  Dennis offered his hand to help Sawatari up.

“Please, my father is the mayor,”  He sniffed and turned his face away.  Besides considering Dennis was still living with the Sakaki’s it was unlikely he had much cash of his own.

Still in the end he took Dennis’ hand.

“I guess you can repay me with a rematch later.”

After all, who said you could only have one rival?

[merryfortune]

For the mini fic meme, maybe revspec and 22 if you’re feeling it? :)

22. things you said after it was over

   “There’s no place left for us, anymore. I don’t think.” Revolver said.

   “Yes, it seems that way.” Spectre replied.

   They watched as the duel ended. It was not one that involved them, at least not physically. Neither of them had to fight. After all, this was Playmaker and Lightning’s duel and Playmaker had prevailed so his might would make right. That’s how it worked and that was how it would be, if he was lucky that is. Revolver was not so trusting.

   Still, as it all faded and stopped, and peace was - supposedly - brought through. The Ignis and the humans will coexist. Playmaker would ensure it and Revolver did not have a particularly strong desire to contest that. Not yet at least. Not until he could conjure a smarmy look when everything naive had been proven wrong.

   He doubted Playmaker would be proven wrong, though but that didn’t necessarily concern Revolver. He was done fighting.

   “So where does that leave us?” Spectre asked.

   “I don’t know.” Revolver replied.

   Spectre let his hand wander closer to Revolver’s; a silent, meandering offer.

   “We could run away. Hide. Never come back. Settle, even.” Spectre suggested.

   “How romantic.” Revolver harrumphed.

   He took Spectre’s hand though. Their fingers intertwined.

Oooh can I be annoying and ask you Mizael for all the odd numbers?

always

Holiday headcanon: He’s not very into receiving gifts from others, but he does enjoy giving them to people he cares about. Mizael claims he doesn’t like how busy the holiday season is, but he actually loves the quiet nights with his loved ones he gets from them.

Sleeping headcanon: Mizael is a very light sleeper, and wakes up easy. He generally is somewhat restless in his sleep, even on a good night. 

Bathing/showering headcanon: MIZAEL LOVES BATH BOMBS, OKAY. I like to think Barian water that wasn’t toxic was similar to human water, but hotter and more aromatic, and bath bombs make him feel at home. Also, Lush is my favorite store and I need to project onto my faves always. No guesses as to what his favorite one from there would be.

Kissing headcanon: I think he probably likes small, quick pecs to show affection the best, tbh. That, and I have this headcanon that the dragon equivalent to kissing is a small nip on someone’s face followed by a nuzzle, and he’ll do that to Kaito and Haruto at times.

General physical contact headcanon: He probably enjoys it if you’re close to him but otherwise wants nothing to do with it. He’ll deny it depending on the person, but it’s very clear when he tolerates Alit hanging onto him yet has no issue throwing Vector across the room when he so much as puts a hand on him. Him and Kaito probably spend more nights than not hands and arms interlocked, tbh.

Wardrobe headcanon: I think Mizael has a very diverse wardrobe, actually! I headcanon him as bigender (he mostly uses he/him out of convenience, though he responds to he/they/she), and I think we wears a lot of longer, drapey things because he likes how it looks and feels on his figure. Scarves and cardigans are common, and he also has a few skirts as well.

Nickname headcanon: Mizael probably hates nicknames that go past his eventual children calling him “papa,” though he tolerates Alit and Gilag calling him Miza in a good mood.

Singing headcanon: Mizael has a very beautiful and soft voice. He doesn’t particularly care for singing or do it often, but when Kaito or Haruto have a bad night he’ll sing them to sleep.

Soft spot headcanon: The reason him and Kaito have their cat, Yuki, at all is because Mizael saw her outside in the snow and abandoned as a kitten; he was actually really against having pets before that. She reminded him of himself, though, so he couldn’t say no to rescuing and adopting her immediately. (Kaito was thrilled when he found out because he’d been asking for a cat for months.)

Favorite photograph headcanon: My girlfriend and I have recently decided on headcanoning Haruto grows up to be a wildlife photographer! Mizael loves any photo from Haruto, even the unflattering candid shots of him Haruto takes as a teen to annoy him.
