[Lucid Dreamers: 2]
Summary: Atem wakes up in the ruins of Alcatraz with no memory of how he got there.
Meanwhile, Kaiba finds himself trapped in endless dreams with Pegasus.
Word Count: 6.5k | Rating: M | Ship: prideshipping | Ongoing
For a moment, his disappointment in Kaiba was absolute. Between Battle City and now–what? How? This? An empty, terrible place for an empty, terrible man, damned to the weeds and the dogs. There had to be something else–something beside bloodsport and vengeance, Kaiba’s giddy daydreams of humiliation… His dignity, his pride, the ferocious machine of his mind… more than just streaks of light on the sea. “Very well, Kaiba,” Atem announced, to the island. “I’ll play your game. I’m sure you’re watching me right now, somehow, with your… satellites and your cameras…” The feeling was inescapable. It held him like a hand clenched around him: he was being watched. He summoned his nerve. “I won’t be your mouse! I will find you!” He swung his head up and down the broad strip of dirt that ran past the building and chose right, towards the center of the island, away from the dog. Timeless was the only word for the texture of this light, with the eye of the sun rolled backwards into a dull white disk, and no sense of the hour… it was cold, bitterly cold. He shuddered once, only partly from the weather, and began to walk. The cool, melancholy hands of the wind pushed back, gently but firmly, firmly but sadly, as though to say no, there is nothing for you here. Turn back.  Back where?  He kept going.
A/N: An update of this little passion project. I promise the ultimate reveal is worth it <3 for now: more freaky shit! likes are nice, reblogs are nicer, comments are nicest - enjoy!!

Aside from the terrible disconnect of Seto not entirely understanding how other people will interpret his preamble showcase of a seemingly genuine aircraft crash that reveals itself to be holographic in DSoD, I think I understand the theme he may have been aiming for. Kaiba Corporation had been a war profiteering company and Seto transformed its aim to games and gaming technology. Thus we witness what could be violence and death transformed by technology, blotting out violence for spectacle and fanfare. And it is also about Seto trying to find death as an illusion, a barrier he can break with technology. I think that may have been something of a theme for him.

Anzu my goobie :3
[ID: a digital drawing of Anzu with different expressions set against a flower background. The first expression shows her lovestruck, smiling with hearts in her eyes. The second shows her looking disgruntled and unimpressed, with sweat on her face and an eyebrow raised. The third shows her angry and shouting to the side. The fourth and final expression shows her looking to the side with an easygoing smile on her face. End ID]

I often think about how, because weevil was Japan national champion and Kaiba was world champion, they probably most definitely dueled each other at some point, which is a fun duel to think about because on one side you have this annoying loser dork and on the other side you have weevil

[blows dust off this blog] My favorite thing that ever happened here was when I queued Duke Devlin posts to run all day on my friend's birthday, and multiple other blogs went "Wait, it's Duke Devlin's birthday??" and started reblogging Duke Devlin posts too. My impact

[some beast will find you by name: 11]
Summary: The best laid schemes of Kaiba and kaiju often go awry… now he needs a new Drift partner.
Word Count: 13k out of 133k | Rating: M | ship: flareshipping
2347 HOURS, SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC Despite being a parasite of the most loathsome kind, no better than a worm buried in the heel of a bare foot, squirming between dirt and skin and blood, Kaiba had built an excellent ship. The massive, foam-marbled swells rose like black teeth out of the midnight sea, but the Paradius rolled with the ease of a seabird, calm and poised. Dartz barely felt the sway as he left the bridge and went down towards his private stateroom. Swaddled in steel, safe from the sea, the ship’s rhythmic rise and fall in tandem with the distant hums and groans of the engine and the dim, shifting shadows of the passageway, made him feel like an unborn child yet inside their mother’s womb.  Destiny twisted and writhed in exquisite ways. Of all his wretched glories, all the battleships and the tanks and the artilleries and the unmanned aerial vehicles, each of them glossed and polished with the promise of making peace but engineered for making war, the best weapon Kaiba had made was his son. Sweet lamb, raging bull! Of all the Rangers, the son’s faith in the world was the most unfounded and therefore the strongest. Life had planted the jagged grain inside his beaten flesh, and he’d transformed the pain into a pearl. Now it was pure and it was perfect.  A shame, then, that Dartz had to turn his attention away from him and the Nameless Pharaoh and their little kicking donkey.
A/N: YAY UPDATE <3
enjoy! kind comments, kudos, and reblogs are always welcome!

au idea: duelist kingdom is a summer camp run by industrial illusions and this year's crop of counselors (mai valentine, keith howard, isis ishtar, rishid ishtar) have to care for the rowdiest crew of middle schoolers yet (you know the ones)

Second Chance Bracket Round 3: Poll 3
Propaganda under the cut
Pairing 1: Euroshipping(Ryou Bakura/Seto Kaiba)
Propaganda: My FAVE!! Ok so Ryou masks his trauma and pain behind smiles and Seto masks his trauma and pain behind frowns…Seto opening up slowly to Ryou so they can heal together is the most beautiful thing 😭 They’re just lonely, sad boys that think nobody can understand them. Plus they both have obsessive gamer personality, are super smart, and very competitive in their respective games. I love them so much | The fact that Kaiba's type is literally blue eyes / white hair (Kisara + BEWD) and Ryou fits that is so underrated. Also they could be weirdos together. | Wouldn't it be funny if Kaiba fell in love Ryou of all people
Pairing 2: Stubbornshipping(Hiroto Honda|Tristan Taylo/Seto Kaiba)
Propaganda: I first saw it with a gorgeous piece of art where they were sitting down and drinking coffee, and they both looked so happy. I mean, Kaiba wants nothing to do with the 'magic bullshit', and Tristan is literally the most non-magical out of all of them. And I think they would keep each other on their toes, and they would have fights but that's because they actually speak their mind instead of keeping it locked away. I think they're just a cute and fitting ship and they deserve a lot more love &lt;;3
Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will be banished to the Shadow Realm.
