In Need Of More Sleep

Game night results (from this poll)

Character selection inspired from extraterezi's post!

“Choose Life”

Why was Atem never given the choice? He had the Deus-Ex-Machina Trio in his deck! Also, Why weren’t those 100 people (99 + Bakura since he put a piece of his soul in the Ring & Puzzle)  who were sacrificed to make those cursed objects able to move on to the afterlife instead of being dropped down a hole?! HERE’S MY FIX IT COMIC! AS TRADITION FOR PUZZLESHIPPERS EVERYWHERE!! (Btw, in this AU Aknadin is NOT in the Aaru TYVM!! Royal Rights to Paradise be DAMNED!!)

This comic was the opening comic to the cancelled puzzleshipping anthology @auroblaze and I were making. It’s the last of my WIPs, so you can check our Art Tags to see all the individual comics of the Puzzleboys enjoying their Happily Ever After.

season 2 when

when u draw something you thought you’d fuck up on but it turns out a lot nicer than expected

this is a positive post, do not be negative and tell yourself you can draw and you will get better as time goes on!!! 

Okay so yall know that trope where person A is in a coma and starts waking because Person B is talking to them, begging them to wake up?

Kaiba is Person A and no one can wake him. Mokuba, Yugi, Atem, even Isono have sat in there for hours talking to him to no avail. Finally, Joey fucking Wheeler struts through the door, plants himself right by Kaiba’s ear, and says, “I’m going to talk to you about how my Red Eyes is better than your Blue Eyes for hours and there’s nothing you can do about it, rich boy.”

Kaiba wakes up screaming. 

We all have things we want to ‘fix’ about Yugioh (less card games, more of our favorite character, ships being cannon etc)

My biggest is Bakura not getting a redemption arc. Every big bad that Yugi had, Kaiba , Pegasus (Kinda it was mainly in the show but still) and Marik all had one. You could even argue that Marik didn’t, everyone kinda just forgave him after seeing his split personality almost kill him.

Bakura is the dark anti hero I want

I want him to be dragged kicking and screaming into being a redemption arc.

I want him acknowledge the fact that while he hates Atem more then anything - they are the only people in the entire world from their culture left.

I want Atem to acknowledge that Bakura’s soul formed a holy Ka, that before Zork Bakura was fighting for the justice of his people.

I want to see Bakura crushed under the weight of the knowledge that he was completely used by Zork, that he worked and died for the monster that made the Millennium Items in the first place.

I want Bakura to acknowledge that he became just as bad as the people that killed his village, that he stole souls for his own gain.

Most of all I want a fight between Atem and Bakura over if the The Mummy movies are good or not.

@celepom already did a fabulous rendition of a certain drabble/scene from @riyuyami‘s Millenium World au, but when inspiration slaps ya in the face then you don’t turn it down

wanted to draw something dynamic ish and used the excuse to play around with CSP stuff as usual! I like how Yugi turned out =w=

i’ve watched a lot of yugioh this week, here is a very silly fancomic

My emotions are valid*

*valid does not mean healthy, or good, or to be privileged above common sense and kindness

A distinction for anyone who is young and hasn’t figured this out yet:

You are allowed to have whatever emotions you want. No one can control your emotions. Emotions are healthy responses to things.

You are not allowed to have behaviors that are harmful just because you have certain emotions. Your behaviors are what you can control, and they are far easier to control than your emotions.

You can be jealous about someone or their talents until you turn green, but it is harmful to yourself and to that person if you try to sabotage them because of it. You can be so angry you can literally feel your temperature rise, but this does not give you permission to rage at others.

Your emotions are valid. They are always valid. You are a person of value. However, you behaviors are not always justified just because of those emotions. You may not be able to control you emotions, but you can certainly control your behaviors.

and this one, i beg you to learn before you become right-wing fundamentalists: just because something gives you revulsion feelings does not mean it’s morally wrong.

you may be sex-repulsed; that doesn’t mean sex is dirty and bad. maybe you were bullied by teenage girls; that doesn’t mean teenage girls are a force of evil. perhaps a villain in a work of fiction reminds you of someone who abused you; that doesn’t mean people who enjoy that character or that fiction are abusive. your feelings about those things are absolutely valid, and it’s not right for people to tell you you shouldn’t feel that way. but it’s also not right for you to act out against others based on those feelings.

that instinct to generalize served our species well when we were hunter-gatherers living in small bands in a hostile wilderness. you nibble a delicious-looking berry, you throw up, you know that berry is BAD and you make the yuck face whenever you see it so the other hominids know it’s a bad one. but in the modern world, in the information age, there are so many complex things you might encounter, you’re going to have badfeels about a lot of things that aren’t actually across-the-board bad.

you need to not be ruled by your hominid yuckberry instinct. that’s where bigotry comes from.

Thiiiiis. 

ok, i know what you’re thinking - where the hell is the next chapter of Catacombs?

Well, here’s the thing - 

*flees*

(I’ve been picking away at this for a month instead of working on Catacombs, forgive me, but hopefully with this out of the way in the meantime I’ll actually work on Catacombs. hopefully;; Please enjoy!)

me, trying to write a newsies fic: what the fuck is a new york accent

add an ’s’ to every word and leave the g off of every verb tbh

hello my name is cormack and I live in Accent Hell

Foist ting ta remember is dat dese exents ain’t from mahdern times. New Yawk had a distinctive axent priah to Wuld Wah Two, and de newsies were woikin’ class, and thus had a more dramatic excent. De mos’ notable diffrents from mahdun axents is de stress on ‘ah’ as opposed ta ‘oh’ in words like ‘morals’ or ‘Florida’. So, Flahrida and mahrals. Ya hear dis in many comedic settin’s such as Space Balls, and it’s offen presented as a ‘Jewish accent’, used to caricature Jewish characters. Anuddah ting is a stress on a ha’d ‘i’ instead of a soft ‘ih’. For example, Eye-talians as opposed to Italians.

Second is de simplification and shortenin’ of words, ‘specially fahreign ones. Tink a’ ‘airplane’, which don’t apply hea but dat’s not important. Bein’ a complex woid, it’d likely go down to ‘aeplayn’, de r not presented and de ‘ay’ stressed over de n. ‘Course, dere’s de more well-known droppin’ ah final ‘r’s and ‘n’s. Dat’s borin’ and we’s ignorin’ it. Jus’ think ‘gonna’ instead of ‘going to’ in terms of shortenin’. Contractions, too, were another form of shortenin’.

De syntax, oh’ senence struc’cha, is annuda ‘portant factor. Offen times kids witout education, like de newsies, would switch up words by axxident. ‘Stead of ‘my dog’, for example, you’d get ‘me dog’. ‘She don’t like me’ over ‘she doesn’t like me’. ‘You is (youse)’ instead of ‘you are’. ‘Ain’t’, a’ course, was always popular. In soitin’ cases, ‘what’ may be used in place a’ ‘that’ or ‘who’, such as 'The guy what does that is no friend of mine’. 

We gotta consider, howeva’, dat many newspapers, stories, and such on used an over-played accent as a way to delegitimize and make fun of de woikin’ poor. Jus’ as people today make fun of ‘redneck’ axxents, an exaggeration of excents was used to paint poor folks, ‘specially immigrants, as less intelligent or jokes. Though we can’t deny dat dey had accents, even more tick’ den dose of de wealthy, it ain’t fai’ ta’ write out accents as a caricature, as it only promotes xenophobia and classism. In udda woids, while I provided dis information ta’ you for de sake a’ knowin’, it ain’t right to write out accents of madern people, and an argument could be made dat writin’ out past accents ain’t much bedda, as in noimalizes de tendency as a whole. 

Das all.

If any of you can read that, I am impressed and terrified. Also, writing this almost killed me.

As soon as I see a phonetic accent in a fic (aka Merlin as Hagrid and Eggsy as the Artful Dodger), I almost always click the back button. It pretty much always ruins all that is good and holy.

omgomgomg i wholeheartedly agree. there’s so many wonderful fics out there, but for some reason they have to write out eggsy’s accent, as well as his accent even when he isn’t talking. 

Hahahaha, oh noes, that is so horrible in more ways than one.

Even worse is that 99% of the time when they write out the phonetic accent, it’s horribly caricatured or simply wrong, to the point where it no longer even sounds like the character.

PSA to all fic writers: everybody who’s going to read your fic knows how these characters sound. They’re imagining it in their heads. I promise you their imaginations are rich and vibrant. They don’t need to be put through the struggle of trying to make sense of a horribly mangled phonetic accent, which serves the additional detriment of pulling your reader out of the story.

I choked on my muffin while reading this post

Damn it, Amethyst.
