"Death-T made me feel one with the games! I want to play with someone!"

[rocketbirdie]

Hi! I'm so glad you are a "Atem and Yugi share a body" truther, I feel like we are going extinct. It's about the intimacy of being two souls in one body! Why would you take that out of the ship?? I don't get it, the point is that Atem cannot exist if Yugi dies, is that Yugi falls in love with his literal shadow...

If I wanted standard "two people in different bodies" ships I'd read literally anything else lol

IKR??????? it's driving me insane. their CANON dynamic is the fandom equivalent of winning the goddamn lottery and ygo fans are out here pouring their glorious buckets of metaphorical gold into a boring ass mold. it's devastating. it's actually genuinely shocking. imagine you get the juiciest most mindscrewy ship potential in the history of ever and you just. fucking chuck it out the window like a frisbee

you're trapped in here with me. we can't tell each other apart sometimes. neither of us agreed to this and now we have to make do. i don't know where your thoughts end and mine begin. i know every inch of your body, and you know mine too, because we are the same. everything feels like too much, this skin is too warm, this heart is beating too loud, there's no escape from it all, but that's kind of a thrill. you make me feel alive! it's exciting being at the mercy of someone else. i trust you. i'd let you hurt me, i would forgive you; i will never let anyone hurt you, i will stop you from hurting anyone else. i will teach you how to live. how to love and forgive. you give me a purpose, you give me a guiding light. you are the only person who listens and understands. without you i don't know wrong from right. you are everything i hope i can become for you. i look for you in every reflection but all i keep seeing is myself. i'll give you my memories, my body, my life, i want to be with you forever. I want to be with you forever. if you die my heart dies with you. dear god help me, you're already gone. please don't go. i don't know who i am if i am not you. please don't go. please don't go.

or i guess we can do a coffeeshop au where atem has his own body or whatever. whatever

Yami Yugi

[queenaegon]

is that song actually character-coded or is your brain a character-shaped hammer looking for lyrics to nail down somewhere

[ygio]

thinking about how hilarious the 4kids anti-drug ads were like they're p much getting ygo cast to say "gambling is my anti drug" lmao

[tennnshi]

Doodle requests you say? How about Atem giving Yugi a smooch on the cheek 👉🏽👈🏽 (or vice versa).

These two are so fun to draw I could never say no to them (´；ω；｀)

Sorry it's a bit rough I haven't drawn at all for the last week lol!

yami and yugi making a deck together

i swear yugioh is curing my artblock (and my aversion to drawing backgrounds apparently 🙌)

[kujakumai]

what I like about Yugi is that he is definitely in that "kind non-violent all-loving friendships-everyone" protagonist archetype but most of the time we expect those sorts of characters to wear their hearts on their sleeves or solve their problems via communication and understanding, whereas one of Yugi Muto's defining character traits is that he'd rather die than admit he has a problem. you can pour soup directly in his lap and he'll be like "oh that's okay ^_^" while internally burning with such an unquenchable incandescent rage at you that 30 minutes later his evil shadow self confronts you in a back alley and forces you to play something called Knife Pogs (a game he just made up that's like Pogs but the pogs are knives so every time you hit the stack a bunch of knives fly out and stab you in the kneecaps). so that's fun

[rocketbirdie]

you will never tempt me into Yu-Gi-Oh! ha! I've been here for ages but I remain strong! how does it feel to have an arch nemesis!!? /silly

i was once in the same position. i was so Not Into Yugioh that it was lowkey my identifying feature when i was in. what, middle school maybe?? i was the one kid who knew nothing about yugioh and went out of my way to not learn anything about yugioh. that's how untempted i was.

what i'm saying is. Look Out!

Mini Yugioh papercraft! I've been wanting to make Yugioh minis for yeeears (and had picked out patterns for them for nearly as long), and I was so pleased to finally finish some sets. The show of my heart!!
