I think peter and daniil are two sides of the same coin in the ways that they're both immensely intelligent, and led by their dreams. dankovsky is more tethered to the earth on account of being so rational but his rationale is also suffocating his dreams, which is why the polyhedron is so important to him. peter can still dream but he has no anchor and so is drowning himself in twyrine and does nothing but dream... andrey does function as an anchor of sorts but he is also an enabler. he's too close to peter to be able to help him. I'm personally just obsessed with the interpretation that the polyhedron signifies a certain childhood innocence and ability to dream that dankovsky lost, and which I think peter never fully lost ... they're both of the sky. do you get it

Welcome Home 2000s/College AU
Howdy babysits in his free time for some extra cash, and today he was called minute. Let's see what happens!
I don't have an excuse for this other than I'm projecting and really wanted to explore more of Howdy's character. Also I want to personally apologize to my fellow Laughingstock shippers for not making them the main focus. And for my attempt at humor /hj
// volkner knows how to drive just about any land vehicle without issues, but he heavily favors motorcycles over any kind of car. he's had his own for a few years already, but he keeps it in perfect condition all the time and regularly checks it up and gives it a thorough maintenance to make sure everything is in working order.
SOMETHING I've thought about actually is that !!! Atems penalty game that was supposed to make Seto recognize Mokuba as the missing piece if his soul kind of backfired and made Kaiba Worse(tm) in a lot of respects and actually caused the events if Duelist Kingdom but. I do think that he and Yugi and the nerd herd did help to teach Mokuba empathy and forgiveness he wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
I see a lot of people point out his seemingly random change of heart in Death-T, but he's!!! 11 !!!!!!! his brother just betrayed him and his rival pulled him out of Hell Itself and he doesn't know WHAT to do!!!!
so he feels the need to explain. have you ever met a 10 year old ?? they have no filter. nevermind that everyone in ygo has to be on the spectrum/ADHD for this card game world to make sense. Mokuba immediately infodumping his Tragic Backstory to the first person in his entire life he thinks might maybe Get It makes so much sense. do you know how many times I as an autistic adult have accidentally overshared something thinking it was a hilarious anecdote only to realize it's midly horrifying from an outside perspective ??????
and he saved Honda as a sort of "fuck okay I GUESS I owe you one" gesture and probably talked to him and found out he has an older sibling too and also a baby nephew and he's kind of an okay guy actually...
he still harbors a LOT of resentment in Duelist Kingdom. he says he still hates Yugi!!!! and there's a big part of him that still does, he's not lying. but he also doesn't have anyone else to trust either. he doesn't understand it or have as close a perspective as the other, but he dies know there are 2 sides to Yugi, and he thinks he can trust one but not the other.
by the end of DK, he's in their debt again either way and he thinks. Yugi could have just saved his grandpa and himself and his friends. he could have even saved me out of pity. but he had 0 reason to save Seto, and yet he did it anyway. maybe people can change. and I really think that's part of why his own character changes so drastically and settles down and grows
