Side One: Can you truly watch all of Yugioh and not come out changed? It has so many powerful messages and inspirational characters that transform the viewer into a better person of their past selves. Such an impacting, heart breaking, beautiful show.
Side two: I fucking swear if I hear them explain Pot of Greed one more fucking time I’m going to throw myself off a building. And why the fuck is there a duel every single fucking episode? This show doesn’t even fucking make sense until season two like how does anyone actually get through it? Such trash, honestly.
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.
what she says: yeah i love yugioh lol it’s so silly
what she means: in this paper i will discuss yugioh’s themes of power, cooperation, and friendship, as represented by characters seto kaiba, yuugi mutou, and jounouchi katsuya, in the context of clifford geertz’ theory of symbolic play. for each character, and each theme they represent, the card games are elevated to deep symbolic and psychological function by the character’s relationship to the game. in his seminal work ‘deep play: notes on a balinese cockfight,’ geertz argues that the balinese cockfight serves a symbolic function that elevates this sport above mundane entertainment. As he describes it, “Its function… is interpretive: it is a
Balinese reading of Balinese experience; a story
they tell themselves about themselves” (Geertz, 10, 1972). nowhere greater is this theory expressed than in series deuteragonist seto kaiba, whose relationship to duel monsters and his preferred card (the notably powerful light monster, the blue-eyes white dragon) is inextricably tied to his attempts to overcome his childhood trauma. beginning with his first duel,
Trap Master can only be flipped during your turn or by the effect of another card. Since no card has been activated to trigger such an effect, Trap Master cannot be activated in response to Trap Stun.
THE DOG GOES.
The effect of Prediction Princess Tarotrei can flip trap monster face up on the opponents turn.
THE DOG STAYS
Once we send that Prediction Princess Tarotrei to the graveyard, our trap sealing will stick around.
The dog goes.
Ritual Sealing does not negate, only destroy. Prediction Princess Tarotrei is destroyed, but its effect is still carried out.
THE DOG. STAYS.
I’m watching an online yu gi oh battle
THE DOG GOES
THE DOG STAYS
the last time i saw this, it was only half as long
Welp, here I go, writing a fic for my ridiculous crossover OT3. If you look at the tags you can probably figure out who it’s about. Also from the perspective of one of my OCs, because I’m self-indulgent like that.
Fic is under the readmore.
Nira doesn’t like it when her feet aren’t on solid ground. She can stand on the tallest mountain peak and feel no sense of vertigo, but the very idea of flying terrifies her. When she’s grounded, she can feel Terrakion’s power flowing into her, strengthening her. She doesn’t like being cut off from that power, even for the briefest of moments.
It would be an exaggeration to say that she becomes totally helpless when lifted off the ground. She’s made ridiculously long leaps before, with power if not grace. And there’s enough natural strength in her arms and her spirit-she’s given more than one overconfident psychic a good whack in the eye when they figured her helpless and dangling. Still, she likes to avoid those situations as much as possible.
Being surrounded on ocean on all sides, with nothing but a wobbly deck beneath her feet, is almost as bad. There’s no stability there, and it’s all too easy to imagine falling overboard and drowning. She’s aligned with the mountain-god enough that her skin and heart are stone, and the element of water is antithesis to her.
And yet, when Mako’s boat pulls into shore, she grins and runs on board without a second thought. She listens to his stories about the places he’s been, while she tells him about her latest battles. As they leave the shore, she leans against him, looking towards the horizon and their destination. When it gets too much, when she’s going stir-crazy, he’s there to talk to her, to take her mind off things, to tell her how much longer it’ll be until they reach land again.
When they reach land, sometimes Celestia is there to greet them, and sometimes she is not. But the reunion always comes soon enough, either way.
Celestia’s enthusiasm is infectious. Sometimes when she pulls Nira closer the knight’s feet leave the ground for a moment. But Nira finds she doesn’t mind those moments, is too happy to simply be with her other lover at last. Sometimes she initiates the hug, running forwards to pull the alicorn into a messy, many-limbed embrace. Sometimes she actually hoists herself up to get a proper grip, and her feet leave the ground completely.
She doesn’t mind being lifted then, she learns to realize. She doesn’t even mind on those later occasions where Celestia grabs both her and Mako up in her telekinesis, taking to the air out of sheer joy. There’s the loss of contact with the ground, and the loss of power-but it’s okay. She can let herself be vulnerable, let herself let go of some of her strength.
So finally, there comes a day when the three of them are sitting on the beach together, and Nira places an arm around Celestia’s shoulders, ruffling her wings.
