in the Egyptian wing of the museum and my boyfriend is like “what are all the time periods of ancient Egypt” and I’m like predynastic, early dynastic, old kingdom which is when the pyramids were built, first intermediate, middle kingdom, second intermediate, new kingdom which includes amarna period and yugioh, third intermediate, and then all the late period stuff and macedonian and roman eras. and he’s like run that by me one more time

Yu☆Gi☆Oh!-- Animedia Magazine (05/1998)

Nobody:

Literally nobody:

Me: Ishizu’s past got the least narrative focus of the Ishtar siblings, but she was more than likely severely neglected. Her father didn’t want her any more than he wanted Rishid, and even though she wasn’t physically abused like him, or tormented with the same grim responsibility as Marik, she most likely received no love or affection aside from what the siblings could offer each other in their early youth. She was too young when their mother died to have known her like Rishid had, and based on the way Marik seemed to look up to her as an authority figure, and the way she tirelessly dedicated her early life to trying to save him, I’d peg her with eldest daughter syndrome as well

When her brothers left, what did such a young girl with no parents or guardians have left? Just the millenium tauk? How traumatic was it to have just watched her father be murdered (abusive scum or not, oh my GOD), been abandoned by her brothers, and to suddenly just know everything that would happen in the next ten or something years? (SHE JUST KNEW her future!! How bad would that fuck up a mature little kid’s BRAIN??)

She saw a predestined path and had nowhere else to go, no other lead in life to follow, and so everything she did from then on was probably just like following instructions. Did she experience passion for anything but the goal she pursued in those years? Could a woman with nothing to her name but an ancient artifact really obtain such an important museum position at ONLY age 20 without focusing single-mindedly on it for years prior? Do you think she had interests and hobbies she ignored or let go of throughout her teens just to do what she believed she was meant to? Do you think anybody ever HUGGED her???

Even after reuniting with her brothers, do you think she’d even know how to share affection with them after years of nothing but chasing after their future? Do you think she even knows how to make friends or meaningful connections in her life?? Do you think she even knows how to care for her own emotional well-being, rather than living life on a very meticulous, peer-serving agenda????? I may not remember all the little details from the series well because I’ve gotten the different versions mixed up over time, but even if there are little wrong details in here, in this Fucking essay, I will–

yugioh anime (‘98 and DM) filler episodes: Yami Yugi was a better duelist/gamer than Yugi Muto for most of the story, with Yugi improving late in the story and that’s why he beat Yami Yugi during the final ceremonial duel.

original yugioh manga(s):

Shows that Yugi Muto always had extreme skill in intuition and strategy. Hints this even during simple scenes of Yugi playing games with himself or Jounouchi and Honda.

He’s perceptive. He immediately noticed that Kaiba slipped his Blue Eyes White Dragon for a fake, and knows when other villains also try to cheat him.

When he wins games, he gets beat up, with Yami showing up out of anger or for physical defense. When Yugi Muto loses, its because he strategically plans to lose or draw for others’ safety. The only game Yugi Muto himself lost on accident was his game with Imori.

But later in the DDM arc, Yami Bakura implied that Yugi Muto didn’t gain the power to win games only after solving the millenium puzzle, but rather he had that power all along and that’s WHY he’s the only one who could solve the puzzle.

Conclusion: the anime creators (and many fans) misunderstand the manga: Yugi Muto doesn’t switch out for Yami Yugi because Yami is the better duelist/gamer like all the characters (including Yugi Muto) assume, but rather because Yugi Muto isn’t confident enough to fend for himself.

what is that thing in the middle

Long time no Manjoume.

Oh how I've missed him <3

Welcome to PuzzleJune 2023! We are only two weeks away from a whole month of celebrating our favorite soul mates! A new group came together to make sure we have all the inspiration to fill the internet with all the love we have for these two!

This year's theme is Ancient Egypt, but as per usual, fics and art do not need to be related to that. This month is about finding your inspiration and creativity however it comes to you. Let Yugi and Atem lead your way! Whether it is angst, fluff, humor or something nsfw, this is the time to show the internet that these two embody true love like no one else!

The most basic rule is to have fun and share your work in whatever platform you want. When you do post l, use any of the following tags: #puzzlejune #puzzlejune2023 #puzzlejuneAE

As in years' past, there is an opening prompt, ending prompt, weekly prompts and daily prompts. However you choose to celebrate this month is up to you! You can just do the first and last, just the weekly prompts, or even just a smattering of daily prompts that spark your creativity! Our boys can certainly stir up inspiration and we love to share it in any form here.

Reblog, share the love, and let your creativity shine so we can give as much love to these two as possible!

You're in his DMs. I died 5,000 years ago in ancient Egypt, and my soul is in the puzzle around his neck. We are not the same.

don’t even talk to me if you aren’t chilling out with the crew in the schoolyard

ygo characters ranked by how well they actually understand what the plot of ygo is. the only characters who manage above "understands at least 70% of the plot of yugioh" are Shadi and Zork.
