You know what I want more of? Variety in aliens. No, I don’t mean more designs for alien species. I mean variety within a species. They always seem to have the same government, the same culture, the same religion, the same language. Come on, humans don’t work that way!
“Say, there’s a Qualar over there. What are they saying?”
“No idea.”
“What?”
“That’s a Kinzian Qualar. I’m a Surolian Qualar. You’d have just as much luck understanding them as I would. You’re lucky I even speak Human.”
Prompt-based fandom events are when you really learn everyone’s colors like you’ll find the people who take the prompt “death” and come up with some smarmy ship-art of character A and character B walking over dead leaves while wearing scarves and drinking hot cider and then you’ll find the people who take the prompt “sunshine” and write how a bright glint of sunshine reflected off the barrel of a gun is the absolute last thing character A sees before taking a bullet to the chest
you can lead a content creator to water but you sure as fuck can’t make him drink
Okay, so imagine if you will, what kind of absolute hilarity Mokuba Kaiba’s Vine account would be. It’d be all hilarious behind-the-scenes at Kaiba Corp. ™ sort of stuff, but most of it would be Seto. Or rather, making fun of Seto and his Attitude and Ego (because Mokuba likes poking holes in him when it gets too bad. He loves his brother but damn.)
Popular series include:
“Seto Kaiba Does Not Understand Daiso” – Where Mokuba takes Seto to Daiso and points out all the really cheap stuff you can get there while Seto stares at all of it with a little sneer.
“Seto Kaiba Does Not Understand Airlines” – Set during a time when the Blue Eyes White Disaster (as Mokuba calls the blue-eyes jet) is down for maintenance / upgrades, and Seto is actually offended when the seat he’s in is not embroidered with the KaibaCorp logo before he sits down.
“It’s 3 A.M. What is Seto doing?” – Possibly the most popular series, because it usually involves Mokuba opening the door to Seto’s office and yelling “HE’S WORKING,” at his startled and irritated brother before slamming the door behind him. Once, memorably, Mokuba opens the door to find Seto standing there waiting for him, Super Soaker at the ready before Mokuba gets drenched. Once, memorably, Mokuba finds Seto asleep at his desk and there’s just a very quiet, “Aw.”
And then, when Seto gets fed up with the videos, Mokuba films the lecture he gets, so you just have a lap-up view of Mokuba as Seto’s voice echoes in the background: “Stop taking videos that make me look bad,” and Mokuba just, “YOU MAKE YOU LOOK BAD, I DON’T DO ANYTHING.”
Seto has a vine account. It has three videos on it, one of which is, “It’s 3 A.M. What is Mokuba doing? Sleeping. He’s sleeping.” The second is a video that Mokuba filmed on Seto’s phone that is Seto angrily saying “DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM,” and the third is a shot of the newest hologram of Blue Eyes White Dragon, no words, just the song “Move Bitch”
He does not have any other videos.
Mokuba’s videos, to Seto’s exasperation, appear to be getting them more customers, so he can’t tell Mokuba to knock it the hell off.
I hear a lot about Fenrir, the giant wolf from Norse mythology, and his place in Ragnarok – but I don’t hear anything about how he was defeated by a guy with a really heavy shoe
That’s so mean why didn’t he trap Fenrir under a cup and slide a paper under it and gently dump Fenrir outside
“ohhh would you look at that, my pawns found jesus and now they’re all bishops”
“so i realize it looks like i’m putting a thimble on the board but actually my rooks have been using their downtime to build another rook, one that’s better, stronger, faster—”
“hey welcome back. while you left to get a snack, those six pieces you’d captured slipped their guards, tunneled to safety and emerged right in the middle of your royal palace.”
“oof, looks like you’ve got my king cornered…maybe this is a good time to mention that shortly before we started playing, my pawns and knights revolted and instituted a representative democracy. feel free to kill the puppet ruler that was the one remaining vestige of our tyranny, you cringing servant of the crown. vive la revolution!”
