test subject to try new style and brushes

#ryuji. #art. #i love him....................

[shadowgamed]

ACTUALLY FUCK IT. like this post for a starter from any / all of my muses?? please specify if you have a preference - they're all up for grabs!

#ooc #of course if you'd like someone random that's fine too #<33

[shadowgamed]

#seto. #THINKING ABOUT HIM AGAIN......!!

[shadowgamed]

okay so like... would anyone like a starter from seto, mana or sera??

#ooc #starter call.

[shadowgamed]

also just so you all know i LIVE for anything that explores the fact that seto is a reincarnation of a priest/pharaoh from ancient egypt. just... past life stuff in general, and especially how it influences (fucks with) him. it's like serotonin injected directly into my brain.

#( self reblog. ) #ALSO THINKING ABOUT THIS.................... #seto + his relationship with magic rotates around in my head 24/7. just so you know.

[shadowgamed]

thinking about shizuka............... kind of want a (platonic) dynamic for her with seto?? solely because i like pairing together characters who rarely interact/who you would't expect to see interact and i happen to like them both a lot. that's literally the only reason AKSFJDSFKHS

also i've been brainrotting over a certain persona 3 character (redacted for spoilers) lately and now i'm thinking like. what about a concept where shizuka learns she's not actually human??? maybe she's a reaper or some sort of personified concept, or something else, i haven't decided yet. i just think... it'd be neat...

#ooc #why her of all people??? ...because i like her okay i don't NEED A REASON #normally i'd pick my main muse aka seto but he's already a reincarnation from 3000 years ago i think he's got enough going on KSEFJSDHFDKS #also the kisara = shizuka idea i've seen floating around would be fun alternatively. like i wouldn't make it my main verse/interpretation. #but still. hmm #wishlist. #why do i have such niche desires for threads............ #at least as far as shizuka is concerned anyway :P

[shadowgamed]

so uhhhh as you can see from my last post, i'm working on finally being active here at last! still going through the manga again to remember the details i've forgotten about characterization/the plot, but i find that actively writing at the same time helps me muster up the energy/concentration needed to read it better, so i'm gonna start writing here straight away and we'll see how it goes.

thank you everyone for being patient with me, and I hope you're having a great day so far! <3

#ooc #kaiba is still my main muse because listen i love him #but i do wanna find some girl muses to write too... hmm... #i will consider it.

Magic, the occult, ancient Egyptian spirits and nonsense talk of fate and legacies of the past... it's all nothing but bullshit.

Seto knows that. No matter what, it has to be true. He's not stupid - he knows the things he's seen, but... Seto is a man of science, and he also knows just how unreliable the human mind can be. Perception is a fragile thing, and the mind is easily tricked and influenced by what it thinks to be true... that in combination with the solid vision system he created opens up a great number of explanations, most involving the shock of that system on the mind being far greater than he anticipated.

Deep down, it feels like he's making excuses. But is a far-fetched scientific explanation really any more absurd than a supernatural one? Besides, even if by some miracle the supernatural really was real, there's no way-

-He'd ever be a part of it. Seto's mouth curls into a grimace at the thought. It all comes back to the mind. His own, loathe as he is to admit it, has been a mess lately. Ever since Battle City, when he'd finally thought that Yugi might have been right; that there was more value to friendship than he had first thought... he thought he'd finally been ready to start again with Mokuba, but letting go of the chains of the past is harder than it sounds. It infuriates him. Seto Kaiba is a man of the future - no past can hold him down or stop him from doing what he wants to do!

But he's impatient, and the road before him is a slow one. Still, though - just when he'd felt like a weight had been lifted from his chest, it now feels like a new, different one has replaced it just as quickly. It hadn't been that way at first... he'd been happy with Mokuba, taking steps towards their dream, but it had snuck up on him slowly and with the subtlety of a serpent - so the question is: what changed?

He wants to see Yugi. That's something he knows for sure. The thought that it's something he needs is something that he won't acknowledge, so instead, he tells himself it's to challenge him again. That's the reason he came back to Japan, and yet... right now, faced with him again - all he can manage to muster up is a sneer.

You look like you weren't expecting to see me. Is it really that much of a surprise?"

@nevertem ( starter for atem! )

#ic #nevertem #v. mainverse. #c. kaiba. #I AM SO SORRY. THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY LATE... #truth be told i kept putting it off because i haven't reread the manga for years and i was really struggling to find the concentration for #full reread... #but i managed to skim through some of battle city lately and i've been thinking about seto and thought. you know what. #i will write it anyway. KHFJKDSJKDS #so basically i'm sorry if any of this is ooc or doesn't quite match up with canon!! #my portrayal of seto might be a little canon divergent in that he's a bit more in denial about magic at this point than he was in the manga #but he was still pretty bad about it in the manga sometimes too tbf. lmao #either way; i'm super excited to write with you if you're still interested!! and thank you so much for your patience <333

#ooc #this is my way of letting you all know i WILL have a lot of threads focused on this theme with him #because i love it so much............ obviously i want to explore other stuff too but!! #also i need to reread the manga because i've forgotten so much but I read somewhere that he isn't really in denial about the supernatural #in that continuity?? as opposed to the anime... #i could be mistaken. but this might be an area where i take more from the anime in the manga for my portrayal #because i adore the “heavily in denial” stuff for him on a self indulgent level; haha #though i do want to stick to canon when possible so... we'll see!!

[shadowgamed]

obsessed with this interaction tbh

#seto. #art. #i love him. a lot

[shadowgamed]

HELLOOOOO and i'm so sorry for the delay, but - like this post for a starter!! i'm still testing all of my muses, but you're free to choose any of those listed on my muse page at the moment - i'd appreciate if you specified who you'd like if you have a preference, otherwise i'll choose for you.

#ooc #starter call. #and thank you!! <33333 #i'm still going through ygo again but i'm gonna try and start writing here anyway #i cannot help myself... #i'm slightly more active over on my ace attorney multi atm but i want to give my ygo muses some attention too!
