I just finished reading Keep The Light Shining by @c-l-y-d-e and ohmygosh what an amazing story! I wanted to create something for the fic and while I was playing my RAV the other day after reading the scene where Slipher comes after Yugi I played this! (or well, something similar. It's hard to replicate improvisation for a recording haha!)

Now to ramble about what I was thinking when playing! SPOILERS for the fic tho so watch out!! - Recently, I've been trying to express more with my RAV Vast playing, I have the scale B Onoleo which offers both minor and major scales with it's 9 notes. I often play light/calm music, but for this I wanted to explore something more dramatic. At the start, I'm running my hands over the drum to replicate the sound of the ocean, I try to keep this up throughout the song along with the beat (which I sometimes mess up since I get nervous when recording but I think that adds to the way Yugi was feeling). The start is when Pegasus sends Yugi off into the water, it's scarily calm for too short a time. The beat starts to pick up when Slipher starts to show itself, reaching it's loudest when he finally appears from the water and Yugi is fighting to keep alive. Everything starts to calm near the end when Atem arrives to help him. Or something like that :p Some audio processing to make it sound better! Tongue drums are hard to record (>.<;) Hope people enjoy this! And I highly recommend reading Keep The Light Shining!!!

#also the song name is a bit of a pun - sliphers attack in the SOUND ha i think im funny anyway #i actually read chapter 1 the day i was admitted to hospital last week lol it gave me something to look forward to reading when I got bac #since I have to rest and not do much so i read the fic over the past few days and it kept me from moving around too much!#im doing better now! and the fic really helped me destress after being unwell #so thank you c-l-y-d-e for writing such an incredible fic!!#yugioh #ygo #my post #my audio #the photo for the album art is also my work :)

And we’re back folks, if not a few days late. Sorry about that, I had to write a classics essay, of all things, so that held me up a tad. Despite that, here are my live thoughts and reactions for the new (and final :( ) Heartless video. Enjoy!

Alastor

“Curse of the hollow” is a vibe of a name, also I giving me Molly flashbacks

Ah yes, Genshin, something that I definitely know about (sarcastic)

Mythology vibes? We Stan

I love the attitude of, even if it gets scrapped or the comic never gets made, its fine, its fun to make. It’s a great philosopher towards creation

Yeah, he do be a vampire

Black hole/void magic is so cool. The audio it brings to mind is stunning

I love a spooky arm

The stars are plot significant

You can tell that I love the spooky arm thing, cause it is the main aesthetic of one of my D&D characters lol

Lorelei

I hate spelling her name, brain says no

I know that poster girl is a very common phrase, but for Lorelei specifically, it gives such a strong image. Those huge theatre posters that can’t fit on your wall, yeah that

Shoutout to all the people who did the black swan fanart

(Notes app tried to correct ‘fanart’ to ‘canary’ apple explain)

Ah yes, bird

Lorelei’s outfit being even slightly based on a wrestler is such a vibe. I don’t know what that vibe is, but it is indeed a vibe

Star placement is once again iconic. I feel like I’ll be saying that a lot tonight

The idea of the Lorelei fandom that almost certain exists in the Heartless universe having wild conspiricy theories about her tattoos gives me life, cause you know they would.

Diana

Cool cowboy + spy is a stunning aesthetic. That post about stealth vs. Russian stealth is strong with this one

The Eye!

As someone going through a Sandman phase, the ideas that come to mind at Diana being based on the Fates are numerous

The wld west vibes + the snakes are stunning.

So many references I don’t understand lol. Is this how my friends feel every time I speak?

Taking the two ‘heavy hitter’ characters and giving them the most ‘big brain strats’ fighting dynamic would make for such fun fights. Especially compared to other random fights that may happen in the series

Lance

The bastard boi!

Yes Alex, make it gayer. As God intended

My screen is small so I cannot see the face. Very sad

Alastor makes Lance captain for one day. He thinks, the guys literally a knight, how bad could it be? Next day Alastor revokes Lance’s position as captain

Alastor walking into a cell block, pointing at Lance and saying that one before walking out as the guards release Lance.

I don’t know why Lance is giving me the strong fan fiction ideas but here we are

He would call his sword teeth

He do be Erza

I actually did watch the video after he mentioned it in the last video. If you haven’t I highly recommend. Stunt people are icons. And nerds apparently

Eira knowing the ex-owners of Lance’s swords is great angst material.

Part of me says ‘armour cool’ Gremlin brain says ‘armour go clang when he walk’

I have not yet mentioned how much I love this specific art style from these videos so I will say so now.

Scales look amazing. That’s the comment

Shiny orange on the armour giving me NRG from ben 10 vibes

Scales on the sword handle. I love the attention to detail

Bandy

My beloved

He do be giving Mr Compress Vibes since day 1

Swap

The personality swap fits are great guys, never stop

(There’s a character in the current fairy tail manga who does something like this in a really fun way. Not relevant just came to mind)

The line between cliche and aesthetic is very thin

When he said, ‘not just normally playing cards’, my brain went straight to the idea of him having an absurd amalgamation of different card sets. Like he has a few Pokemon cards, a yugioh card, maybe something from magic the gathering. Black cards makes a lot more sense

Swap

Contract demons. terrifying

Pretty hair!

Puff go the sleeves

(Good lord my gremlin brain is taking over these comments)

I think I would prefer the banter rather than miming, but that’s just me.

I love this pose

Dock

Dock is probably the character I’ve seen the most fanart of

Right there! Love that he labeled it

Gross and scary and kind of decomposing. Now more people are going to have a crush on him

OMG, he’s an empath

Goop

We love a creepy cleric

“Pause for ADHD moment”

Another creepy arm!

Can’t wait to see this coloured (specifically talking about creepy hand)

“And also, pretty hot” - I have no words. I love

Alex paying specific mention to Dock showing his arm gives me the same vibe as that Tumblr post about the Mandelorians wrist

Love the Disney villain green on this guy

I was right, the creepy arm looked great in colour.

Final thoughts- This new style continues to impress me. I don’t know enough about art to say what’s change, but I absolutely adore it. The way it makes things glow especially sparks joy.

The curse names give me such strong DND vibes, specifically subclasses. But that may just be that bloodhunter subclasses are all order and they use curses. No more Heartless videos makes me sad, I hope that we get more content in the future. It may take some time for me to get excited at the idea of a new concept corner, but I know I will and I know I’ll love it. Heartless has been, and probably will continue to be my comfort YouTube series.

I'm about to go to bed it's literally midnight rn but I would like to once again spread my "Alexis suffers from paranoia and separation anxiety for a while after Atticus returns" headcanon propaganda.

And she completely does, at least for the remainder of season 1 as far as what we see from her on screen. By season 2 he's been back long enough she's probably gotten better at handling it but still deals with it, just maybe not as strongly anymore.

But think about it. Atticus was her whole world, he taught her how to play Duel Monsters, he's literally the reason she's taken her life in the direction she has. They never tell us exactly how long he was missing but I've always been under the impression that he's been gone for a year. Which is a long time for a person to be missing. And all that time Alexis's biggest concern was finding her brother. That's her entire motivation in the first season, everything she does is to try and find some kind of clue or something that could help her find Atticus. Or if it's not the main reason, she's got that thought in her head and often remarks or has an inner monologs moment about how it's a possible outcome in situations that she might find something.

And she puts on a brave face but you know this situation has really affected her, and I hate to say it but there is no way she never once thought that he was dead or just gone forever with him being gone for so long. She's adamant about finding him but also she leaves roses at the abandoned dorm, and in the dub and we all know I'm an expert on the dub lol at least she always says the same thing when she does that: "be at peace, brother. Wherever you are." In my mind I've always seen it like she really does believe he's still out there alive somewhere and she'll be able to find him and bring him home, but there is a part of her that's still worried maybe he's really gone. And that's a lot of intense emotions to be juggling and carrying around all the time. She loves her brother more than anything and all she wants is to bring him home but you know she was worried and scared that she'd never see him again too.

And then he returns.

After all that time, all the fear and worrying and anxiety and tireless searching, Alexis has her brother back again. And thus now we see her grow to be very protective of him and reasonably so. Especially considering that when he returns, he's very unwell. Both from the duel with Jaden, and I assume also probably from being under Nightshroud's control for such an extended period of time. So he's stuck in the hospital recovering the majority of the rest of the arc. Atticus is both physically and mentally unwell after his return, spending most of the time unconscious or just kinda quietly staring out the window because he can't remember anything and the toll this has taken on him is exponential to say the least.

Also after his return, Alexis spends practically every second she can spare by his side. She's not letting him out of her sight ever again if and when she can help it, it's just not an option. No one is going to harm or take her big brother away from her again.

Smash cut to "The Seventh Shadow Rider" where Banner under the guise of Amnael starts to make his move. Alexis is walking outside of the obelisk dorm when she hears glass break in the dub (my beloved) they remove the audio cue for no reason so she's really just got a spidey sense bro aksksks and immediately just knows Atticus is in danger and runs up to his room to check on him only to discover the place is trashed and he's missing. So she runs after Amnael demanding that he return Atticus to her. I touch on this in my shadow rider arc rewrites should be under my "abby rewrites yugioh gx" tag if y'all wanna find that post but they really give him no reason to kidnap Atticus aside from luring Alexis out so he can duel her and take her key. In my version he has other reasons for taking Atticus apart from that which is 👍.

I'm tired, it's literally been like 45 minutes since I started this post so it's like quarter to 1 am rn, and lord knows if I've even remotely explained it well, but given all of the context clues and inferences that can be made about Alexis pre-Atticus return and what we see from her post-Atticus return I find it entirely possible that after he comes back, Alexis suffers from separation anxiety and maybe even a little bit of paranoia about his safety. And I write her with that in mind in my fics every time. She's very protective of Atty and she always needs to know where he is and if he's safe and won't trust him to anyone else, even Jaden, if he's in trouble. She also gets nervous if they're not together and she doesn't know where he is, I know I've got moments like that coming up in fics I'm working on right now.

Long story short, Alexis has separation anxiety with Atticus and it makes me upset and If I have to suffer the emotional damage so do the rest of you.

#got a spearation anxiety moment I'm cooking up for the mario crossover oooh it's good stuff 😌#yugioh #yugioh gx #yugioh gx headcanons #alexis rhodes #atticus rhodes #asuka tenjoin #fubuki tenjoin #abby after dark #abby's insomnia thoughts #long post

Monoma Is Self-Aggrandizing

Apologies if having this response in two places is annoying, but I feel it needs to be done (plus I added/altered a bit). Please note I’m not singling out the blog I will be mentioning or any who support it. My purpose is simply to reply to said opinion in a way that can actually be seen in the tags instead of ignored as a reblog. Because I feel like the information is important. I believe many have a misguided, simplistic perception of Monoma, for some reason, and the post I am replying to is just an example of the perspective of which I would like to disillusion the fandom.

It seems to be a baffling stance circulating the tags that not only does Monoma have no superiority/inferiority hangups, defensive insecurities, or self-promoting priorities, but some people are actually annoyed with people who do think this? The post I am replying to will be linked in a reblog immediately following my submission of this post. I’ve heard rumors posts don’t show up in their proper tags if they contain links? Better safe than sorry.

In regards to the post to-be-reblogged, allow me to both rebut what was proposed and explain Monoma’s situation more correctly. Hopefully others will no longer be annoyed and will better understand his character.

I find it interesting the to-be-mentioned post uses the particular scene of Tokage seeking Monoma’s forgiveness after her joint training match loss...considering he’s clearly being condescending to her there, more obvious in the next couple of panels. I’m not quoting it exactly, but he implies he is pleased to see his naive, unpolished little classmates grow and learn from their mistakes. He’s looking down on her in almost a ‘senpai’ sort of way, guiding his precious lambs closer to reaching his level. Yes, he’s slightly more subtle about it than I am being here to make a point, but the subtext is very much there. Concealing his arrogance in ‘kindness’ is easier to get away with and harder to criticize, as can be seen in parts of the Monoma fandom that echo the perception of the mentioned post. He got ya, LOL.

But yes, he wants to keep his allies and has little reason to heckle his friends, so his form of self-aggrandizement to his classmates tends to take on more of a ‘benevolent’ patronization rather than antagonism. Notice, he doesn’t shoulder the burden of defeat with Tokage as if he were a part of the losing party. He separates himself from the potential to wound his pride by making it a teaching moment of loss his classmates had to learn from--and not necessarily himself. A rather innocuous maneuver, but make no mistake that he was giving himself a way in which he could distance himself from the ego blow of defeat.

No, he’s not the kind of narcissist like Bakugou who pushes almost everyone away; he makes allies and charms people, stands up for his group. But that’s the ‘lovely’ thing about narcissists--there are different kinds. Including kinds that, coincidentally, thrive off the success of the group they are a part of. However, this doesn’t preclude said narcissist from also being full of themselves even to their friends and allies. One of these days, I’m going to make a masterpost of Monoma in canon (and extended canon) being kind of an arrogant dick to his classmates, because...there are a lot of examples. But for now, have an excerpt of an official audio clip, the source of which will be linked in the following reblog.

“Plus, while Shiozaki-san is nowhere on my level, she scored rank 4 while being admitted to U.A. She has the capabilities fitting of the one who scored 4th place on the obstacle course, you know? An extra like you could never win against her!”

Case in point. Monoma absolutely promotes class B, as it is his class and thus, the best. But he likes to imply he’s the best of them, more advanced or at least the ringleader, that they would be lost without him. Class B always gets a good word, but he’d like the best word to fall upon himself. He wants that spotlight, among his peers.

Is that to say he doesn’t care for his classmates? Not at all. But to try to insist a character is so black-and-white as to be wholly others-serving or only self-serving is simplistic and naive. Especially with Monoma, who doesn’t actually magically switch personalities like a Yugioh knockoff when he’s with his peers. He changes the form of his attitude (supported by his underlying character and motivations) depending on who he is interacting with, but he is absolutely still in the business of wanting himself to look good, alongside his associates whom he both needs and wants to look good. Insisting he must be encouraging/supporting his team for either their sake or his own is a false dichotomy. He can absolutely do both at the same time. Thank you.

So...it’s quite sad to me when others miss the many, many instances of superiority subtext and deny that he obviously has a complex. A compensatory-narcissistic one, in which he is sensitive to being seen as inferior and thus inflates his ego defensively. He has to be good, up to his own high standards, and simply must deny any damning evidence to the contrary. So. Can it not be enough to accept a wonderfully complex character for what he is instead of making him into a false angel he is not? His classmates acknowledge his flaws and accept him anyway. Can we not follow their example? It’s okay to have imperfections and hangups. It makes characters real. It makes them beautiful.

#Monoma Neito #Monoma #BNHA meta #Boku no Hero Academia #My Hero Academia #MHA meta #BNHA manga #Class 1B #meta #cw: fandom discourse #long post #OOC #Not saying he has actual diagnosible Narcissistic Personality Disorder but my dudes...he super has narcissist tendencies #Please just accept that and love him anyway #I hate to see him so simplified and butchered into what people WANT him to be #Just let him be what he is #I'm so tired
