Wow Such Tumbls

If you know me, it's probably because I read and review on AO3 under the same name.

I've been on a bit of a nostalgic Yugioh kick for the past week or two, so I thought I'd share my very favorite bit of furigana/spelling shenanigans.

Hope you're ready to see me write, like, an entire second bonus dissertation on tiny subtle orthography choices in my favorite Yugioh character's name!

I'm reading the Yugioh manga and Marik's goal is to be the next king/pharaoh but like wouldn't it be cute if he really was inspired by stories of Thief King Bakura? Like yes, logically Marik wouldn't have heard of him/been allowed to read something on TKB even if records existed, but...consider...how cute it'd be. And how funny it is to accidentally end up partnering with TKB. I will never let go of this concept. Other people have suggested the same because it makes sense. (I know it ain't real, but we like to have fun here)

Something I haven't seen anyone else talk about yet which kinda bums me out is how the fruits and vegetables in pikmin 4 look so FUCKING good. I found a zucchini last night and my god I wanted to eat it so bad.

This is literally the epitome of graphics.

I've never played this game and am now fascinated that the bananas and ONLY the bananas have a produce sticker on them.

Lovely things we got from the eng dub is how much more Tsundere Kaiba could get towards Yugi and I love That 😂😂

In the virtual world Kaiba asked Mokie how did he get here, and Mokies says he asked for Yugi's Help- and Kaiba really

"What! You know how I feel about Yugi Mutou!"

And Mokie goes "But idk who else to turn to :(" (UGH MY HEART IT MEANS YUGIS ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE HE TRUSTS)

And Kaiba huffs growls away "Anyone else!"

And then will procees to seek out Yugi again on his own, OKAY you tsundere ass 😂

Marvel Comics #1000: We’re Calling Him Ben

I feel this is an important addition. He saves so many people on a regular basis that this just keeps happening. And he feels so much for his uncle that the answer is always the same.

…. This hits different when you realise he’s canonically Jewish

Can you please elaborate ? I’m curious as to what it means

You can read a pretty good summary of it here, but as (most likely) Ashkenazi Jews, PP probably follows the minhag (custom) that says “that by naming a newborn child after a deceased loved one, the soul lives on through the child.” (Quoted from the site linked above.) And given how his Uncle Ben died, it just makes it all the more sadder tbh.

omg I have muffins in the oven. Small victories!

...that's not a euphemism. I'm just really excited that my hand is strong enough to hold a hand mixer and dextrous enough to measure out baking powder after my surgery. EDIT: Pumpkin walnut chocolate chip, baby!

do you think KaibaLand in summer sets up water attractions

Random KaibaLand water attraction head canons that have absolutely nothing to do with my love of water parks:

  • They have a pool where the loudspeakers blast BURST STREAM OF DESTRUCTION every time water is about to shoot out of the BEWD’s mouths.
  • Kaiba has a specially designed outfit that changes color or turns to dragon wings or sends up flares or does something equally dramatic when water hits it.  The visitors are confused whether this is Kaiba himself or a cosplayer as part of the park’s attractions.
  • It takes the combined pleas of his entire management team to add a lazy river.  (Floating on a fake river is for losers.)  
  • The river looks suspiciously like the Nile.  (Atem won the card game to decide the design.)
  • Kaiba claims to consider the river a waste of time and space but has been spotted floating on a BEWD tube (complete with a dragon head, wings and a tail) when he keeps the park open after everyone has gone home.
  • Kaiba routinely breaks into his own amusement park at night just because he can.  He’s very proud when Mokuba figures out how to by-pass their security.  (Atem comes along and Kaiba and Atem spend all night competing on all the arcade games.)  Kaiba kills at bumper cars and decides to add a bumper motor boat attraction.  The cars and boats are shaped like dragons because of course they are.  Mako Tsunami protests that the boats should be shaped like fish.
