🌹☁️ if youre still doing these??

i am, indeed! 🥰💕 here is some vashgato from a one-shot that is 99.9% written, i just need to find the time to finish it up hehe

“You’re a good looking guy,” Vash says, adjusting Legato’s hold on his waist. “Surprised no one’s asked you to dance. You were kinda awkward about accepting, though. Don’t tell me I’m your first?” Legato doesn’t put himself in situations where strangers might have an excuse to touch him. If he enters a saloon after nightfall, it’s to eat. Not to mingle with desperate sweaty humans eager to rut against their intoxicated companions. But Vash knows this already.

tell me more about manipulashipping 👀 i am very very very intrigued

ok let me try to keep this calm and normal the tldr is while i was rewatching dm a while back i realized that there’s something really interesting in how both of them handle bodily autonomy and also anzu’s take-no-shit empathy would be good for marik as he recovers from the All Of That

the longer version goes like this:

anzu is a dancer, and has been trying to become a dancer for years. it’s the kind of thing that requires discipline, and she’s good at that, understanding each muscle in her body and the purpose it serves. she practices and practices until she is in control, insomuch as she can be. (she’s still subject to some pretty horrific sexism, esp if you consider s0/pre-dm manga stuff as being a similar canon to dm.)

marik does not have control over his body. this is a privilege he does not get. he is burned and branded and tattooed. he is dragged kicking and screaming into becoming his family heir, no matter how much he wants to leave and explore and be somewhere else or be someone else. the only thing he wants, even as he begins spiraling into revenge and grief, is to gain enough power that he can leave his tombkeeper duties behind.

(which btw - something incredibly fun/sad about his primary method for achieving his goals centering around literally possessing other people. marik wants autonomy sooooo bad that he will take away other people’s autonomy in order to get it.)

my original fascination with marik/anzu (my top secret is that i hate the ship name lol) stemmed from a canon divergence idea that can be summed up as: there is something super fun to me about anzu and marik ending up body sharing. like, you have this woman who is under so much social scrutiny but finds freedom through dance, and through control, and then you have this man who has never been able to control his own body, living in her head. anzu who would willingly carve out space in her mind for marik but will never forgive him for violating her; marik who does not know how to take space in a way that doesn’t hurt people, learning how to set limits. not to mention having anzu be a capable duelist with Marin’s help would be fun (imagining more of an astral-yuma setup than an atem-yugi but i digress)

all that aside, i think there’s just so much here. that’s not even getting into the fact that for both of them freedom means traveling abroad, which leads to fun postcanon opportunities. to me this relationship is about autonomy and also forgiveness. can you forgive someone who does something horrible to you? can you forgive them if you understand why, if their life was your worst nightmare? can you understand someone if their dreams are yours? can you love someone like that? can you let yourself be loved? can you meet someone in a bar in new york or a hotel in cairo or a stage door in tokyo and choose to start over?

marik and anzu: for people who have lots of thoughts about bodies and control! (do you guys think bodyshipping works as a name. it’s honestly more normal than a lot of other ship names)

HEY. i recognize the error of my ways. i won't do it again for at least a week

[believingbrook]

your writing feels like a hug. Theres something cathartic about it thats just reminiscent of that feeling of calm that settles over you after breaking down in someone elses arms before you both go back to your lives without acknowledging it again. A good sort of calm. anyways, thank you for writing

i’m deadass gonna cry this is so sweet, thank you!! that’s exactly what i want my writing to feel like!! big hugs.
