Card Games And Existential Crises

Haven. Nothing but YGO content here, folks. They/Them. Icon by @cosmictrishula.

yugioh isn't "good" i.e. its hardly a cowboy bebop or NGE or FLCL or mushishi but if anyone was like "it's bad" i'd be like be quiet. kaiba's about to summon obelisk out of the fucking ground

the millennium items being made specifically as weapons of war and conquest and then atem’s family/the priests just casually use them against their own people afterwards for like, trespassing. once again i think thief king was right.

I’m posting this fanart after an insane amount of time, but hey, procrastination is my superpower. Some time ago (actually a lot of time ago, but ssh) I contributed to the Project Sakura Yu-Gi-Oh! fanzine, which is focused on flower language, for Charity RAINN, the largest relief program for Sexual Assault Survivors. [You can still check @projsakuraygo’s blog!]

I picked roses and lilies as symbolic flowers, but in reality, I also wanted Aki to be a symbol herself of rebirth (inspired by the organization we were supporting)

Imagine this setting: it’s Aki against Divine, he’s still trying to manipulate her into going back to his movement, but she changed, she’s not the lost child she used to be anymore, she now has friends who genuinely support her and through her newfound resolution, she summons the evolved version of her ace card (do you see the symbolism?). This would be the duel the anime never gave us. Through this duel, Aki exposes Divine’s true motifs and declares her freedom right in his face. She’s ready to cut ties with her past in the most glorious way possible.

magic players intimidate me but yugioh players scare me. that game’s like sitting down for a high speed version of book club where the objective is to fully understand the assigned reading before the other guy beats you in one turn. madness.

“the anime breaks the rules of the game!” okay but if it followed the rules of the game do you have any idea what it’d be like
