Random yugioh villains who have known Atem for all of five minutes will turn to him and say things like “Hey, have you considered that Yugi secretly hates you? Or that you’re secretly evil? Or that you were actually an awful evil king? And that everyone secretly hates you?” with no basis and against all evidence to the contrary and he will fall for it every single time. This man has the false confidence of a stage magician hiding the anxiety level of a trembling chihuahua.

What does this MEAN, Takahashi

So the Millenium Ring is referred to as the "ring of wisdom/知恵の輪" exactly once in the Yugioh manga, strangely in completely different chapters in the English and Japanese versions but both during Bakura's first appearance:

And I dunno about you guys but wisdom is not a trait I really associate with that particular object? So it's kinda weird?

Well, seeing the Japanese version finally prompted me to google 知恵の輪 last night. And it's apparently the Japanese term for those puzzles where you have to untangle interlocking metal shapes??

and WHAT. HAVE YOU BEEN A PUZZLE THIS WHOLE TIME TOO?

DO WE HAVE A PUZZLE YOU PUT TOGETHER CONTRASTED WITH A PUZZLE YOU TAKE APART

DOES THE MILLENNIUM RING COME APART IF YOU TWIST IT THE RIGHT WAY. WHAT WOULD THAT EVEN DO

WAS THERE GONNA BE AN OVERARCHING PUZZLE THEME THAT GOT SCRAPPED OR SOMETHING

DOES THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABSURD TANGLED MESS OF SOULS THIS OBJECT CONTAINS

I feel like I've seen through the matrix into some kind of yugioh deeplore that doesn't matter and may not actually exist

who was your original blorbo? Like the first ever blorbo that you felt Blorbo Induced Emotions for

Some blorbos are obviously more popular than others. I should make a list of the most popular original blorbos when I have the time

whatever else you can say about glee, this show has the most dialog of all time

people who watch musicals and bitch about how it doesn’t make sense that the characters randomly burst into song are so funny to me. babe it’s literally a musical like this is the standard of the genre what did you expect

THAT'S THE WHOLE PROBLEM WITH THE GENRE AS A WHOLE, THAT'S THE POINT

i’m sorry you’re allergic to fun i’m sure that makes life very difficult for you

Me watching a murder mystery: What the hell...why are so many different characters suspicious, in reality cases aren't normally this complicated, this whole genre is a mess...

Me watching a comedy: What the hell...so many silly and unlikely situations keep happening...

Me watching an action movie: What the helll...why is it so violent...

Me watching a fantasy film: What the hell....elves aren't real....

questions that haunt me:

1. If we assume that every single duel monsters trading card corresponds to a real duel monster spirit, then that implies that either:

option A: the act of creating a new trading card wills a new monster into existence. (monsters then don’t necessarily have to come from a ka/human soul?) if an intern in the Industrial Illusions art department draws a tomato wearing a football helmet, then somewhere out there, that tomato manifests physically

option B: Industrial Illusions somehow peers into the monster spirit world (and/or some living rando’s soul) when designing each trading card. this could be explained by Pegasus’s eye showing him visions, but does he personally design every card? and what happens after he dies (mangaverse)/loses the eye (animeverse)? some people, like Jaden, apparently have an innate ability to see monster spirits, so does I2 screen for that? is Can You See The Kuriboh Floating Over The Interviewer’s Head an integral part of the hiring process?

2. what the fuck is going on with arcana’s dark magician

the duel monster lore is so great kzjffhg. it’s just like “with every experience you have and with every choice you make, you are shaping the Funky Little Dude Who Lives In Your Soul. someday your Funky Little Soul Dude will go live in another dimension (accessible by trading card). if you have a Clown kind of personality, then you will produce a Clown. future generations, for centuries to come, will use trading cards to summon your Soul Clown. and sometimes, very occasionally, You Are The Clown”

scary moment too to be like "I hope my movie inspires children to crossdress." I think it's kind of brave to show up to a big corporate disney event rn and do that

disney does an annual "disney legends award," where they pick a few cast and crew members from popular properties of theirs to induct as "official disney legends"

this year, they did the cast of Frozen. and Jonathan Groff just used his speech to talk about how, as a gay kid, disney movies gave him an excuse to dress up as Cinderella and Mary Poppins, and he's glad little boys today can do the same thing with Anna and Elsa

on my drive to work today I was thinking about how many songs there are about New York City and was briefly filled with dread at the thought that if I ever become an international rock superstar I will be expected to write a song about New York City. I didn’t want to be caught unprepared when I’m plunged into stardom so I started drafting the lyrics now:

These are things I know ‘bout New York City:

It’s big and loud and dark and gritty

In photographs it’s very pretty.

There are a lot of gay people there.

Which is nothing special, to be fair,

Because now there’s gay folk everywhere

But there are still a lot in NYC.

Also: a large Jewish community.

Once the mayor was Guliani

That’s got to be embarrassing.

A sometimes-resident is Sting

(From The Police, not from wrestling).

John Lennon was killed in Manhattan

And there is an island named Staten

Open windows might let a rat in.

You should not go jogging after dark

Especially not in Central Park

Stare too much and you’re an easy mark

New York is the home of Spider-Man,

Flat-crust pizza, New York Yankees fans

And some Italian-Americans.

In New York you can also find rats,

A large proportion of Democrats,

And live performances of Cats

And whatever else is on Broadway.

I’d come for a visit but not to stay

The cost of living’s too high to pay.

okay but imagine if the queen dies and the entire world sits down to watch the news, but just before they can announce it the screen suddenly goes black and then... the secret sherlock episode airs
