Atem had a nightmare, and it is Yugi's duty to comfort him

[ygio]

i love flareshipping because its like. hello im yuugi these are my two boyfriends, when we first met i used to think one of them was my personality disorder and the other stole my important possession and tried to kill me and my friends. when they first met, one threw the other into a coma. we are all better now tho. i like to beat them in games and kiss them on the mouth

[ygio]

kaibas pov is just like, i met this lame kid, tried to use him and had my ass whooped, he is now two different people yes i sleep with both. no i still dont believe that i served one of them in ancient egypt. if you try to touch either i will release my lawyers at you like rabid dogs

[ygio]

atems pov is a bunch of ???? some ¿¿¿¿ and an identity crisis or five, then many flowery musings about bonds and destiny. he killed/traumatized for both of his boyfriends, isnt very remorseful about it

[sayzie]

so i was thinking about atem and having a wonder

we know he resembles yugi, right, so rather short. canonically around 5ft at age 15-16. but we also meet his father, uncle and cousin in memory world and they are all tall, like cresting 6ft tall. which begs the question of how we explain atem and i have come up with two plausible answers

1. he looks like yugi, is short and will always be short because siamun is his grandfather on his mother’s side. granted the one panel we have of his mother she doesn’t appear particularly short but hand wave, or

2. he got puzzled at 15 just before the maddest growth spurt in history and would have eventually come nose to nose with seth

how tall would atem be had he lived

short king (5ft and change if lucky)

tall like his relatives (6ft)

mix ??? (like between 5ft 6 and 5ft 9)

THAT ONE FUCKASS PART IN THE FIRST YUGIOH MANGA

[kujakumai]

“Atem gets his own body” AU where he keeps trying to tell archeologists where Punt was and none of them will believe him. Except Ishizu. Ishizu believes him. Atem and Ishizu’s quest to convince academia about the correct location of Punt. 

They get thrown out of at least one (1) conference. Ishizu calling up Atem like “You’ll never believe what someone just said about us in this paper called ‘In Response to Ishtar et. al.’” and he’s like “I don’t know why this is so difficult. I’ve literally BEEN there.” and she’s like “I know, I know.”

[kujakumai]

Things Dr. Ishtar’s research assistants have managed to gather about her weird friend, Atem Muto:

Definitely doesn’t work here. Just…hangs out, sort of.

Apparently Egyptian but raised in Japan or something? Speaks perfect Japanese and Coptic but basically no Arabic. Speaks to Dr. Ishtar in a bizarre amalgam of the former two (Where did Dr. Ishtar learn Japanese?)

Must be some kind of expert because he knows literally everything about ancient Egypt in perfect detail, several details so specific it half feels like he has to have made it up, and is happy to talk about it at any time, sometimes seems to jokingly suggest he lived there.

Except he doesn’t exist on google. Surely a guy who’s done this much research has published a paper somewhere, right? Made some speeches? Listed as a contributor, or as a professor somewhere? But there is nothing. Not even a facebook profile. Man is an internet ghost.

In fact, he barely seems to know how computers work at all. One time someone showed him that you could play solitaire on one of the laptops and not only did he not know this already but was really excited about it.

Did I mention he’s like, 25, max? What? The intern is older.

He is so nice though. Kind of awkward but really encouraging. Like, huge weirdo but when he flies back to Japan to visit family for a few weeks everyone is super bummed. What a cool guy. Cool, weird guy. And what’s with his hair?

"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
