Retro Gaming 90's- Yu-GI-Oh! Forbidden Memories: (1999)
Retro Gaming 90’s- Yu-GI-Oh! Forbidden Memories: (1999)
There are many people who remember how popular the Yu-Gi-Oh card game was throughout the 00’s decade. When it came down to trading card games in general many people would argue that Yu-Gi-Oh had exceeded Pokemon in terms of popularity. In terms of video games Pokemon has always been more popular than Yu-Gi-Oh but the Forbidden Memories game from ’99 was considered a memorable classic; while…

I tried a little experiment of drawing some characters with their color pallete from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories game.

I had a really chaotic dream that made sense in the moment where I was at my local video game store, found a secret entrance in the back, and it led to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories and I was the Prince. Shada (not Shadi or Sadin) was my guide and he and the Prince were familiar enough to kiss, which is definitely one of the odder pairings I've seen in the fandom XD The other weird thing was Yugi also had an Ancient Egyptian counterpart and he was crying cause he didn't want the Prince to die... I guess someone had told him about the anime's future and he was worried, or worried he might die fighting Heishin or Priest Seto.
Speaking of Seto, he knew who I was and proceeded to taunt me about it, and challenged me to escape a labyrinth while the Man-Eater Bug card was chasing me--it'd be easy if I could read Ancient Egyptian, but alas XD Somehow I made my way through just in time to see him imprison Heishin into a card with the Millennium Items, and he returned a lost Gemini Elf card to me. And then we got distracted talking about the logistics of the song "Purple Snowflakes" (Seto believed it was real, I didn't) which I woke up with in my head.

randomly remembered a thread i did on twitter last year that i think was fun so i'm reposting it here lol
so The Drdek. it has a nonsense name and its flavor text refers to its bipedal eye, despite there only being one hand. this piqued my interest, so i looked into the flavor text and it took me on a journey
the name is デス・フット, which literally means Death Foot. "The Drdek" was a name decided in 1999,which was firmly in the era when yugioh translations were avoiding the word "death" whenever possible. it's weird, but i sort of get how we got where we are now. the flavor text is 目玉に足の生えた化け物。高くジャンプしてかぎづめで攻撃する。my translation of that would be "A monster that grew a leg on its eye. It has a high jump and a claw attack." the flavor text on the card as printed is mostly correct, but the mistranslation still sticks out. thus, i decided to check its physical release history, in case it had been changed over time. except it doesn't have on. as far as physical cards are concerned, this is an OCG exclusive (for non-yugioh players, OCG is the Japanese version of the game and TCG is the english version). where does the translation come from, then? one of the video games, probably
the first yugioh game featuring The Drdek in english was its third appearance in total, in Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories. it was translated as such
the flavor text is much more accurate. but it's still off, so i decided to go back and look into its other translations. that brought me to Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Duel Stories, the second english appearance of The Drdek
completely different flavor text. this was most likely due to text limitations. the flavor text is the same in japanese, but the text would be longer in english, so the change makes sense considering
in Yu-Gi-Oh The Duelists of the Roses, The Drdek makes its third appearance, but its first as an effect monster, meaning it lacked flavor text, and thus is irrelevant to this conversation
Yu-Gi-Oh The Sacred Cards is the next game where it appears with flavor text. this reads "A boggling monster of an eyeball from which grows a foot. To attack, it leaps high and strikes with its sharp talons." which is an entirely reasonable full translation of the original Japanese, with minimal compromise for character space (it doesn't all fit on screen at once). The Sacred Cards came out in November 2003. with the translation being accurate, it should have ended here. unfortunately, it doesn't
Yu-Gi-Oh The Eternal Duelist Soul changed the flavor text, and it's here that we finally see the flavor text on the above card. that same flavor text was reused in Yu-Gi-Oh Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel
however, i said that The Sacred Cards came out in November 2003. Eternal Duelist Soul came out in came out in October 2002. over a year before! Worldwide Edition also came out in 2003, but it came out in April, months before The Sacred Cards. that means that the mistranslation was present, then fixed. yet, the card posted above is in the modern border treatment. because it doesn't end with the correct translation or the incorrect translation's first appearance
after the brief hiccup of accuracy in The Sacred Cards, the mistranslation becomes the standard translation for The Drdek, and after 2006, the game pretty much vanishes from yugioh video games, because it's bad. its reappearance in 2017 is what gives us the version in the modern border
what's the point? there isn't one. this is just an extended piece of trivia. hope you enjoyed it :)

Yu-Gi-Oh! OC Week Day 3 - Deck
I slept like three hours last night so apologies if this ficlet is shoddy compared to the others. I'm really out of practice when it comes to writing self contained things. This prompt was a bit of a challenge because I'm working with characters that ah, don't use decks. Had to kick this one around for a while and even then only used the actual prompt very loosely. There are brief mentions of another OC in this one, but Teana is a canon character... of sorts, the Ancient Egyptian version of Tea/Anzu as named in the videogame Forbidden Memories.
(@ygoc-week)
Day Three - Deck
Word Count: 1,295
Characters: Sanura, Mahaad
Rating: PG (for a little bit of suggestive implications at the very end)
When it came to their professions Mahaad and Sanura kept most of the particulars to themselves. Their services to the throne stood at opposite ends of the spectrum. Mahaad's duty to was to the Pharaoh and those that came before him. He protected the royal tombs to ensure that the eternal rest of the departed souls was undisturbed while guarding Atem in daily life. Sanura's duty was to the royal wives and their children. She contributed to the future of the lineage by ensuring that the next generation was healthy and well mannered while supporting their mothers in whatever manner they needed. Both husband and wife played the role of confidant to the family, a business that they took quite seriously. The only time either of them shared the worries entrusted to them was if there was danger in keeping quiet. Even then it was a difficult thing to do. For Sanura, at least, it felt too much like betrayal.
Burdened by the weight of having to make an uncomfortable decision she shut the nursery door. With the last of the children collected and Minkah spending the night with his best friend she had the rest of the evening to do as she pleased. Part of her wished she didn't. Idle hands made for busy minds. Snippets of the whispered talk with Teana and T'Kai were already starting to circle. She had been unable to soothe their anxieties. That in and of itself gnawed at her but there was little to be done about it. Times as unsettled as these were rife with reasons to be worried. The transition of power to Atem following his father's death had not gone as smoothly as hoped for and there were pockets of discontent among the people. It was little more than distant rumors at present but it was enough to put palace security on edge.
Patrols had been increased. New guardsmen eyed her as she passed them on the familiar route to the other side of the complex. The veterans they partnered with ordered them to relax. Being subjected to their scrutiny further soured her mood, however. After the fourth run-in with new faces she ducked down a side corridor used by the laundry workers to ferry loads out of sight. It was not a direct path to her destination but there were fewer people to deal with. Still, by the time she re-entered the main hallway her shoulders were knotted and aching with tension.
Thankfully, the magicians' wing was one of the areas off limits to most people. The guards that watched over its entrance had been stationed there for years. One of them nodded a greeting to her and let her enter without a word.
The magicians wing was small, containing a library, several storage rooms and a central hearth. Its walls were lined with the flowing symbols that made up the magic language instead of the usual painted reliefs. Mana had been all too happy to explain that they were warding spells meant to limit magical mishaps when she had asked their meaning. Sanura had tried many times over the years to decipher the runes with little luck. At best she had learned to recognize the most common ones and could guess what sort of spell they invoked but her knowledge ended there. She lacked the natural aptitude and abilities needed to harness magic. It was only her relationship with Mahaad that gave her access to the private sanctuary.
Experience told her where to find her husband. Winding around shelves and tables she navigated the controlled chaos that was the library, careful not to send a haphazard pile of scrolls tumbling to the floor. Mahaad preferred the desk located in the heart of the collection where he was never far from the literature he might need for any given topic. Sure enough he was there, head bent to the task of copying the text of a decaying tome to a new one. It was his version of unwinding and for a brief second she envied him for having such focus intensive busy work. The envy passed when she noted the size of the tome he was copying. It would take weeks to finish if he was the only one working on it in short spurts.
“Sanura!”
She had been standing there for several minutes before he noticed her. It was difficult to say which of them was more startled. Sanura jumped, eyes wide, at the sound of her own name. Mahaad's reaction was a more subtle jerk that was strong enough to jangle the tines of the Ring together.
“S-Sorry! I wasn't trying to surprise you, I promise!” she stammered. Her husband huffed and dropped the quill he had been writing with, his concentration thoroughly ruined.
“You're early,” he grumbled as he nudged the new tome to the side where it could dry and busied himself with securing the inkwell.
“The children are back with their parents,” she replied quietly. Her chest and stomach clenched. Mahaad was always grumpy after being caught off guard, intentional or not. The mood rarely lasted long and was usually easy to wait out but not that day. The unrest clouding the general atmosphere of their home was wearing her down. His scowl softened into a concerned frown when he looked up and saw that she had lowered her head. Rising from his seat he placed the Ring on the table in order to draw her into an apologetic embrace. He never held her while the Item was around his neck.
“You're tense.” The statement held an edge of sorrow. Sanura pressed into him and hid her face in his shoulder, accepting the offer of comfort while simultaneously trying to assure him that he was not to blame. He tucked her beneath his chin in response.
“Long day,” was the only explanation she felt up to giving.
“Do you want to talk about it?” His fingers sifted into her hair.
“No. Maybe. I haven't decided yet.” An honest answer. She had not come to a conclusion on whether she should share the details of her conversation with Atem's wives. Mahaad sighed but did not pry. Slow bit by slow bit she relaxed against him until the worst of the aches in her neck eased up. Pulling back just enough to turn her head she eyed the books on the table, desperate for a change in topic. “What were you copying?”
“My predecessor's attempts to categorize soul beasts. He was not the most organized of note takers.” The dry annoyance in her husband's voice made her snort. Wrapping her arms around him to hold him in place she tried to get a closer look at the original text. It was every bit as indecipherable as the magicians' language, for an entirely different reason.
“I think Minkah can write neater than he did.” It was Mahaad's turn to be amused at the statement. Resting her cheek against his chest she hummed in thought. “How many different types of soul beast did he identify?”
Sanura might not have known much about magic, but she knew how to send the scholarly type on a spiel. Mahaad was no different than the tutors of her childhood in that regard. He soon lost her in his explanation of the different types of monsters used by himself and the other Court members but it didn't matter. The sound of his voice was calming. He was still listing the strengths and abilities of his most used creatures when they left the library for the sanctuary of their quarters.
How lucky it was that she also knew how to derail his educational talks. It would be a shame to waste a night of having the apartment to themselves…

A repost of some old art, plus references, for Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon.
Yu-Gi-Oh’s biggest sin and a monster that notoriously carries you through the PS1 game; Forbidden Memories. It’s ugly in all the right ways and I love how it looks nothing like a fusion of two regular Thunder Dragon cards.
The Duelists of the Roses model (if I ever made my own game i’d totally be ripping off this one) has some really cool legs; sprouting from a pair of arms that seem to belong to the teratoma on its back. Incidentally I only learned a few weeks ago its feet are green, colour-blindness will do that for you.
