HÉRO MAGRÉ TOI!!!!!!!!!🔊🔊🔊🎶🌌🌍🌊🔥🌟
Me wanting Kerubim dead is old news, but I want to reiterate that fact. My brother in Christ, it's your fucking fault that he has it in the first place.
Joris is kind of a dummy for not figuring out that everything in this house kills people yet. Though he is seven. I can forgive that.
KILL HIM SIMONE.
Also, YES, this implies that she HAS talked to him about this shit. And he still hasn't stopped doing this!! Even after what happened with Heads for No Tails!!! God, I can't stand him.
Even he knows that they usually were.
I want to say the obvious thing in advance: This period of their life happened after the whole drag and memory loss debacle.
This is the health that becoming girl best friends brings to a relationship (and seeing your boyfriend in a drag?). Who would have thought?
Gods are punishing him for his hubris. DIE old man spine.
The way Joris says "Aïe" here is very cute.
Kill him, laugh at him, bully him, Simone. It's what he deserves.
From him playing golf, to the fucking,,, image of them in a heart on Luis, to her getting a suntan in the middle of a field, this image is so funny... They are so poor-people-who-got-rich coded.
Luis also has a dedicated fishing spot, with a built-in rod, which is interesting. We've actually seen this idea in a Dofus Movie concept art I've showed earlier.
Also, here is a yet another sign of their relationship being healthier now: She has absolutely no negative reaction to him saying he "likes princesses" and even teases him about liking to save them. Cute.
Lou probably is a Lovecraft and Junji Ito fan. Good for her, good for her. Also, another instance of Kerubim demonstrating his deep and undying love for eating fish. This, too, is cute.
Just as the last few times: this is the same city Kerubim grew up in, Amakna, — or, at least, the assets for it are used here, and that gives me enough data to come to this conclusion.
They are very "poor people who got rich and are now preaching about healthy lifestyles" coded. I know people like this. They're always this sillywhacky in conversations with one another. They probably have iphones and airpods at home.
Good for them. They're silly and happy together. That's all that matters.
...If I fumbled the bag so badly that a woman like this left me, I'd be inconsolable for the next 30–60 years too.
No wonder Kerubim developed clinical depression about it. God.
Humidity puts long haired cats at a risk of matting. So probably not, Keke.
Yeah, they are so... coded. Kerubim would get into health stuff after going to a psycheward rehab. And he would probably get Lou into it too. Or she'd get into it to help him, or whatever.
i keep finding little lupin episodes i've skipped and while i am saying things like Yippie, and Yay, i have to wonder why zenigata is drawn like this this episode
S5 Ep 37 Pt 2: Everything in Yugioh Was Caused by Yami’s Weird Uncle.
So straight up, I forgot where I stored all the files for this episode because I got really sleepy and then zoned out. But, I’ve found the file (and if you saw my desktop, you’d understand) and I had a little bit of hot cocoa to caffeine up, lets post like old times because I have GOT to talk about Yami’s weird Uncle.
So in the last little recap, Bakura decided to rip out Aknadin’s golden eyeball, and then Seto shoved Aknadin under a mosquito net for him to recover, and Aknadin’s been having vivid memories of 15 years ago when everything went to hell.
And like guys here’s the thing...
This Aknadin isn’t freakin real, this Aknadin never happened, we’re not in the past. We are in Pharaoh’s weird puzzle space made out of his memories.
Like don’t think about it, but Pharaoh’s memories have their own independant memories that exist without him knowing about it.
In Inception terms we are like so many inceptions deep, because it’s Yugi’s brain, housing the puzzle, which houses Yami, and we’re inside of Yami’s memories which have their own flashback sequence.
I just counted that and we’re 5 dreams deep now, give or take depending on if you count the puzzle as a dream, which like I dunno, I try not to think about it that hard.
But whether or not this can physically be possible for Aknadin to dream, it does help out the writing team give us backstory that Yami would never otherwise know.
First off, we get a better look at Yami’s Dad.
So Yami would look like this if he was allowed to grow up? I don’t like that thought.
(read more under the cut)
Anyway, Aknadin is having a chat with his brother about how they have this spellbook that tells them how to get this ultimate power that will help them fight off some invaders from the North. I’m assuming that this is the show subtly hinting that this is the time period right when the Dynasties started, and Egypt was unified as one whole country (ish) for the first time, and I love the audacity of the show to say “and it all happened because of cards.”
Also if we have heard about this spellbook before now I...do not recall it. Where does it come from? Don’t worry about it. Maybe that’s a spinoff for later, I dunno. It has a wacky cover though.
mmmmm that’s a book, all right.
Bro was telling me that this is also technically a millennium item. Which like...sure? Hell knows where it is now, though. Maybe Shadi threw it in Pegasus’ basement.
But Aknadin assures his brother it won’t end the world (multiple times) so they decide against their better interest to dive right in.
And then Aknadin just starts acting unhinged. First off, he decides to divorce his family while on the back of a horse, which makes it seem like a drive-by divorce.
Man this poor animator not only had to draw so many horses, but also drew probably the only time in children’s cinema that someone got divorced on horseback.
Like Maybe Seto was a bastard child and Aknadin’s wife was actually a secret lover? But like...He’s talking about how Seto has a right to the throne later which means they had to have had a real marriage, right?
And that’s how Seto became an Orphan. The first time. Of SEVERAL times.
And like it was wrong of him to make his family forget him (Nice that Seto got mindwiped when he was like 3 or 4 years old. That’s right on the money for Seto’s normal well being, he loves getting mind-wiped) but also Seto would have judged this guy so freakin hard. Seto is like the judgiest guy on planet Earth, so imagine how freakin judgy his mom was.
Anyway, welcome to Kel Elna (which I have no idea how to spell), the den of sin (which looks like basically any other random place in ancient Egypt, except not yet on fire.)
Ah, first Bakura. To think he kept that haircut for 5000 years.
He was probably looking at some violence but most of that got edited by the dub, I assume. Thanks 4kids.
So in a series of close ups that are hard to cap, Aknadin forges a bunch of items out of gold, taking them out of their mold and being like. Well huh.
Who is this red head to the left of him ps? Like it’s a red scene, so maybe it’s just the lighting but like...what’s King Arthur doing in ancient Egpyt?
Anyway, the ground exploded.
And out of the massive hole in the ground was a brand new tablet to screw them over, that game of Operation so dangerous it ends the world.
And again, we’ve seen this before. Shadi brought Pegasus to this thing in S1 (2?) so straight up...did Shadi bring Pegasus to Kel Elna? Like is it just a normal ass city now that happens to have a curse under it? I doubt they thought that far ahead but youknow...this thing seems to get moved around a bit.
(no I did not go down a youtube rabbit hole of some Australian chick opening up mystery molds she got off gumroad that were each more terrible than the last. Like just the worst ceramics molds I’ve ever seen of baby bears, mushroom people, and kitchy ass 60′s minivans, and I’m glad those molds found the one person who could appreciate them.)
One sec.
So...I looked up Yugioh ceramic molds expecting there to be 5 zillion and there are zero. I’m kinda shook by that. Either the DMCA takedowns for 4kids are insane (which they are) or just no one has ever done this. Wild. There are a lot of Pot of Greeds sold officially, but as a slip casting mold? Nah. Aknadin used them all up, rude.
So this big ol purple guy, who we’ve seen a few times at this point, picks up Aknadin like a little corn husk doll and is like “Don’t, man.”
Cuz apparently, when you make the items, and it also makes a monster that lives in this ring(necklace)? I mean I’ll roll with it but also, seems like there’s so many ways to end the world at this point, yeah, lets add this monster on top of it, sure.
So Aknadin is like “can’t take it if it’s attached to my face.” just like a kid who stuffs the last piece of pizza in his entire mouth so he won’t have to share.
I will hand it to this guy, he barely flinched. He is carrying the puzzle, which would have been a lot less painful and more powerful, but decided to not use it. Probably because he knew that there’s a chance he’d have to haunt a high schooler 5000 years later which like...no thanks, he’d rather lose an eye.
And then he starts the hot potato of people stealing this ring throughout the centuries, as the first guy to think “surely this thing won’t kill my entire ass.”
Bro finally got it, he finally got his headcanon confirmed that some guy ate some guy in Egypt.
I really like these stand ins that are like off-brand Ishizu, Seto, Odion, and Mahad, by the way.
So like...from here on out Aknadin’s hair is white and he’s got this hooded snuggie thing going...does ANYONE remember that he’s the king’s brother at this point? Or is he pretending to be poor?
Like how deep did the memory loss go on forgetting Seto? Because everyone would have to forget right?
So straight up what is the point of the rest of these dudes if you have a fully assembled Exodia? there is none, right?
Also is that a baby slither? I don’t recognize any of these creatures tbh, they’re not in my car deck.
(since this is like an ancient time army, I guessed 1000 casualties, but I’m not a historian, so if anyone knows a better number of a 5000 year old war, let me know)
Anyway, just when Aknadin thinks everything’s good and he’s adjusted to being not a dad, his Son shows up.
Many historians theorize that Ancient Egypt didn’t really “use” the wheel because of all the sand everywhere, so most of peasant math class must have been about triangles and that’s it. Don’t even have to worry about pi.
Hey guys...how amazing is the education system in ancient Egypt, that Seto’s entire city was burnt to the ground, he was left penniless and family-less, and now he’s at Egyptian Harvard? Like I feel like we missed a couple of steps, or Seto just stole this outfit and is lying out of his ass. And I don’t know which Seto’s doing, he’s fully capable of doing both.
Seto’s borked timeline yet again, either Pharaoh is like 10 years younger than both Seto and Bakura in the past, or no one is ever drawn to their age.
Anyway, that’s when Aknadin wakes up and decides “Time to murder Yami!”
And just like that, Weird Uncle is ...Eviller. He was already pretty damn evil, but now he’s like in the mood to murder the wrong people...which he did before anyway.
He’s never been good really, and it feels like this could have been easily prevented by Yami saying “Listen I’m the Pharaoh, and this won’t make sense, but Seto, you murdered me in another timeline, so I’m gonna have to put you on house arrest. I know it’s harsh, but it’s about some time someone actually did it, you have done so MANY crimes.” But like...
...no one’s ever gonna arrest Seto Kaiba, they’re just so weirdly attached to him.
Anyway, back in the modern plot, Bakura and Yami are playing cards on horseback in skirts.
You are not allowed to look at the goiter on this horse’s neck. This artist is doing their best.
In the actual show, Tristan said “those are definitely not holograms!” and then there was a pregnant pause, and Yugi was like “...yep.”
And so Bakura is like “If you don’t give me your puzzle, I’m gonna murder everyone in the city!” And Yami, forgetting none of this is real does a weird little slight of hand trick.
Like it must be exhausting when both of you are a trickster god with a lot of the same tricks. Just like having 2 Lokis, except this is a version where they don’t date eachother (depending on your fanfiction.)
But Yami is saved by uh...this guy? I don’t know what this monster is called.
And then the whole gang is here.
That’s too many horses, fam.
Anyway, next episode we get to see Seto talk about his Daddy issues again. Funny how in a season that’s about Yami dealing with his Daddy issues, Seto’s Daddy issues still managed to take front seat.
and here is the link to read them from the beginning.
"Oh Besky! You smell worse than Gladys' shed in a heatwave. Let's get you changed out of that funky thing"
Juniper finally understands the phrase 'it takes a village'. Kyra helping with Besk while Laura is at work making some extra spending money. She couldn't do it without them
"Delilah Briarwood we will sunder you" followed by "I've seen lightning split trees" and then splitting the corrupted Sun Tree in half was probably top three sexiest moments in CR history if not THEE sexiest. Laura Fucking Bailey strikes again
And Tingye is still fucking off to who knows where and not getting on with making Minglan his wife 🤬🤬 My guy, please hurry! There are at least two spineless invertebrates still milling around, trying to make a mess of her life, and if you don't come back soon, I'm sure even more pests will crawl out of the woodwork. Ew.
***
An understatement 🤣🤣
***
Aww, baby no 😢
This is what happens when you have immature parents who have shit for brains. Shen Hong's playing favourites and neglecting all his children except Molan left them feeling so unworthy and unloved. And Wang Ruofu, bless her, does love Rulan to the best of her ability, but she is so superficial, materialistic and simply not smart, so Rulan grew up feeling that her love was conditional.
But this sisterly bonding is nice. They could be such good friends and allies!
***
LMAO, I, for one, am looking forward to seeing her head explode 🤯🤯
***
Girl. There is no man alive worth jumping into the abyss for.
***
THE AUDACITY OF THESE PEOPLE, I CANNOT.
This is such nonsensical, shameless, manipulative bullshit.
YOU TAKE IN COUSIN CAO.
YOU FEED HER.
YOU CLOTHE HER.
FUCK THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU.
***
OH HELL NO.
She just wants to get Minglan away from Granny because she thinks a sixteen-year-old will be easier to manipulate when she's alone!
I hate these people with a burning passion 🤬🤬
***
BITCH. DIE.
I thought I couldn't hate anyone more than Princess Pingning and then these wretches came along to prove me wrong 🤬🤬
***
FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF
TO QUOTE MY FAVOURITE QUOTE:
Fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Keep fucking off until you get to a gate with a sign saying "you can’t fuck off past here" climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.
***
LMAO, it took her a whole five minutes to drop the mask 😂
RUN, MINGLAN, RUN!!
Granny Sheng made the wrong judgment call, these are not good people and you will not be happy here.
***
OK, I have to give credit where credit is due.
He seems like a good guy. A little bit spineless, but he's working hard to grow one.
***
I am beyond fed up with these people.
THEN HURRY UP AND DIE.
***
MTE, Granny 😠
She has been disrespected enough.
***
Yeah, she just ruined your marriage prospects.
Enjoy!
***
I see Molan is reaping the benefits of her splendid marriage.
***
The fucking nerve of these Cao people.
Not only is Cousin Cao a convicted criminal, she was also married already to whomever and is now infertile because the main wife poisoned her. And this is who they ruined He Hongwen's engagement to the most perfect woman for? THE NERVE!!
In any case, good for Big Madam. I am on the side of every main wife who poisons her husband's mistress whom she is forced to take into her own damn house for whatever reason.
Also, I laughed when he said she tried to kill herself but of course they "saved her" 🤣🤣 OF COURSE THEY DID!!
