You ever think about the first person who wrote out “uwu” and wonder if they knew the storm that would be unleashed?

Via Wikipedia:

While the exact origin is unknown, it is speculated the first of the emoticon was in chatrooms. The first proven use of uwu is in the Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction Genie of the Puzzle, published by user DaakuKitsune on Oct 14, 2005. In the fanfiction notes before the story, the author states “Again, feel free to throw squids and fish at me. UwU I deserve it, you know.”

So… The first recorded use of UwU was in a fucking FANFICTION OF YU-GI-OH.

kaiba never had to claw through middle management to get to CEO, he just landed straight at the top, so i think his passive-aggressive email skills are terrible. he'd never hit you with the "per my last email" seething diplomacy the rest of us have to do, he'd just be like "do you know how to read? it was in my fucking email" meanwhile pegasus DOES do passive-aggressive emailing, but not because he was ever the junior executive manager of whatever, he's never needed to play horrifying mind games of mutually-assured destruction with the marketing operations coordinator. it's because he's just passive-aggressive for real, and he plays horrifying mind games for fun. kaiba these licensing terms are so funny, i had quite the laugh this morning over my mimosa! :-) i've never thought of you as capable of jokes but I see you can still take me by surprise. now send me the real terms, please. ASAP. <3

I know very little about Yugioh, and I have a question after seeing some official art you reblogged. The Milennium Puzzle (I think that's what it is? The golden pyramid necklace thingy the main character wears) looks to be made of gold, quite large and thus quite heavy, and worn on a fairly long cord around Yugi's neck.

So my question is, how often do you think that thing fucking takes him out by bouncing around and smacking him right in the damn solar plexus? Like, how bruised are Yugi's ribs any time he has to jog or run somewhere? Hell, if he breaks into a sprint is he at risk of chipping a tooth or getting a black eye from the millennium puzzle bouncing around?

You bring up a good point that MANY a cosplayer found out about the hard way because even when it's made of cardboard, that sucker wants to swing around and can take out an eyeball. I have Several Theories:

  1. The Millennium Puzzle is governed by the same Anime Physics that prevent female characters with Humongous Hungolomghnonoloughongous from knocking themselves out with their own tiddies.
  2. Yugi's hair is Like That (TM) because he's projecting some sort of gravity-warping field that makes his hair do that and the puzzle stay put.
  3. Gold in that universe has the same weight and texture as marshmallows.
  4. Since the Puzzle is actually Yami's Body, Yami is using his poorly-defined magical powers to cling to Yugi's shirt like a baby Koala.
  5. The Puzzle is actually flat and only appears to be 3D by the magic of Animation!
  6. The BDSM Leather Bodysuit Yugi Wears is actually Legit Body Armor to protect him from being shanked by his Magical Bling.
  7. Like how the Millenium Ring can move it's tines to stab people or skitter around like terrible cursed artifact tarantula, the Puzzle can actually reassemble it's pieces at will and whenever it slaps into Yugi, it just loosens the magical field that holds it together and allows the pieces to harmlessly "slosh" against him before recombining. It's not shown in the anime because they had a budget of like, $4.32 AUS and a can of sprite.

A future where Joey hits his stride as a Let’s Play youtuber / livestreamer. Not because he’s necessarily good at all the games he plays, but his sheer entertainment value. No drama, no plan - just one graceless man having his antics enabled by twitch subs and ad revenue.

With Kaiba being the head of the world’s largest gaming conglomerate, his beef with Joey is inevitably noticed by the internet.

Now with a Part 2!

I love Yugi and Atem but I think it’s really funny that like. the fact that Yugi is totally cool with everything is the only thing that keeps this situation from being a horror movie. it’s like two steps away from being terrifying at any given time but it’s not only and specifically because he never treats that way. He alone is keeping this whole thing planted in the correct genre. “Yeah there’s an ancient ghost in my brain who sometimes possesses my body and has so thoroughly absorbed my identity that he answers to my name and takes on my relationships, and yes he has killed like six people and psychologically tortured several more, but honestly I’m totally into it.” WELL, Yugi, if you’re fine with it then I guess we don’t have a problem. Zero issues with this situation that anyone should worry about. Did you hear that, guys? Drop the horror label and get out the ‘shonen adventure’ stickers, he says he’s into it.
