the elevated one

@nettleshuttle

she/her; aki’s personal hand holder; definitely not over-invested in ygo and a couple of other questionable fandoms

well, guess who finally put their ao3 profile in order!

up until now, i’ve rather shared my art than writing and it’s high time to change that, so find me on ao3 as traszka

i’ve got a few yugioh pieces posted and some other stuff, but since my profile here is definitely ygo-centered, i’ll briefly outline these so that you know what to expect (to be updated in the future):

Compliments; a light Yuma/Astral piece, written mostly to catch their early Zexal I vibes — Astral asks Yuma what a compliment is and Yuma explains as best he could. sort of fluff, let’s just say i adore these guys

Jealousy; Chazz/Jaden where i decided to put some delightfully cliche tropes to good use because i’m down bad for bed sharing in fics. huge hurt/comfort tag, all centered round the matter of Jesse

Galaxy Tag; Kaito/Misael and a sort of DM-Zexal crossover, because they team up against, let’s just say, two surprisingly strong duelists that they randomly encounter. Misael’s pov, deck switching and lots of other gay fun stuff

Singing Walls; post Barian War Shark/Quattro, with Shark who’s not handling things too well on his own — and the walls keep singing (he wishes it was a metaphor)

Letting Go; more Shark/Quattro and a slightly longer piece where they accidentally (spoiler: not really) meet in a pro tournament, about to play in a tag for preliminaries. as Shark seeks Quattro out to determine their strategy and they duel over the matter, he finds Quattro much changed — maybe changed enough for them to seriously talk for once as he is trying to making peace with his past

Their Last Duel; kinda Sora/Yuri, takes place right after Sora loses his duel against Yuri in the Fusion Academy. i’m just playing around with what the relationship between them might have been because there’s so little content on these two

The Worst Feeling in the World; oldest work which i’m too lazy to work on i liked enough to keep published. focused on dm’s cast and what the worst feeling in the world would be for each of them — especially for ryo bakura. a couple of ships touched upon, mainly Atem/Kaiba, Yugi/Atem and Bakura/Malik

so, feel invited to drop by and maybe you’ll find something to your liking! feedback is always appreciated <33

TARAVANGIAN?

STUPID IDIOT MOTHERFUCKING TARAVANGIAN GOD DAMN FOOL DIAGRAM DRAWING RAT OLD BASTARD SHITHEAD IDIOT SPREN OF THE WHORE BIGGEST CLOWN ON ROSHAR LAUGHED OUT OF TOWN COWBOY MOTHERFUCKING TARAVANGIAN 

STOP PINNING ME WHEN I TALK ABOUT TARAVANGIAN I HATE HIM SO MUCH WHY DOES HE HAVE SO MANY FUCKED UP PLANS WHY DID HE DECIDE TO FUCK AROUND AND ORDER  THOSE ASSASSINATIONS IS HE ODIUM IS HE A BASTARD MAN HAS SUCH A VISCERAL AFFECT ON ME NOT EVEN IN THE ROOM NEVER SEEN THIS MANS FACE AND I KNOW HE HAS THE WORLDS SHITTIEST BEARD GET AWAY FROM ME

sometimes i wonder whether i’m the only one who actually likes the old man? not even the “i like him though he’s a bastard and he pisses me off, but he’s objectively a good char so i’m letting it slide”. just like him.

Why is no one talking about Trey/ Rio? Just think about it!

  • Older brother that drags them into chaos
  • Sweet but also deadly
  • Shy bf and outgoing gf
  • Opposite/complimentary colour palletes
  • Have to be the mature one
  • Scary when being protective

This ship is waaaay too underrated

putting trey and rio as a side ship in as much of my zexal fanfics as possible is a full-time job, and i’m definitely dedicated

it just. fits in some way. and is funny as shit.
