Day 7: Of Amores, Per the Prophecy @arcvmonth

My favorite pairing is Fruitshipping by far. Initially, I wasn't too into it. Yuya and Yuzu had plenty of cute moments in season one that showed off their friendship and hinted at some romantic feelings between them, most noticeably their cute moment after Yuya gives Yuzu Polymerization back and when Yuzu's second round victory made Yuya smile, but I didn't become a fan of the pairing until season two. Yuya openly crying when he thought that Yuzu had been carded just broke my heart. He always wears his heart on his sleeve, but he would try to hide his tears with his goggles, even when he was a little kid. Not even attempting to hide back his tears just showed how losing Yuzu hit him hard. He already had been through a few really difficult days at that point, but Yuya clearly can't handle losing people well after his father disappeared. Just seeing Yuya go through such a raw emotional breakdown and attempting to punch Reiji after blaming him for what happened just made me love the pairing instantly.

I think it also helped that their friendship and connection never felt one-sided to me. Yuzu's entire world didn't revolve around Yuya. Their relationship was always important, but it didn't mean that she couldn't have other important relationships either. They were supporting each other throughout the series. It wasn't just Yuya reaching out to save Yuzu. She would reach out to him through her first match in the Friendship Cup or when she made that speech during the riots near the end of the Synchro arc. Even during the last stretch of the series, Yuya wanted to save Yuzu and Reira after they had saved him. While having a love confession during the finale would have been nice and appealed to my inner hopeless romantic, I don't think it was necessary. Whether people saw their relationship as romantic or platonic, they clearly loved each other. Both Yuya and Yuzu had gone through so much throughout the series to find each other again, so it was clear that there was love between them. Reading their relationship as platonic isn't worse than romantic or vice versa, which gives the pairing a kind of universal appeal in a way.

I also like Appleshipping. While it is primarily through flashbacks, it's still enough to give the audience a good insight into Yugo and Rin's relationship. Even Yugo's gag with mistaking both Yuzu and Serena as Rin can be taken as as sign for just how much he cares about her. Yugo always looked so excited at the idea of Rin suddenly appearing and he was over the moon when he kept seeing Rin while dueling Serena. It’s just really cute and sweet pairing. Much like Yuya, I don't think Yugo realized how much he cared about Rin until she was gone. Their reunion at Academia was emotional and I'd like to think that right up until the creepy smile, that was really Rin talking and crying to Yugo. Their duel was also pretty emotional and shocking. Now I actually do like the ending as a whole and don't read their ending as depressing or tragic either. They are permanent fusions with their respective counterparts, but they still exist and are reunited through Yuya and Yuzu.

I also really like Genesisshipping. While it seems unlikely that Zarc and Ray knew each other in the Original World, I just like the idea of what if they had been able to form a connection. Zarc's downfall obviously had to happen since without it, we wouldn't have a story or any of the characters. Not just the counterparts, but none of the different characters throughout the four Dimensions would have existed either. But the idea that Ray's friendship could have helped Zarc is just appealing. Almost all of the Bracelet Girls were able to develop strong connections to their respective Dragon Boy, which always made me think that Zarc and Ray could have become friends if they had been able to meet prior to Zarc's downfall. It would have helped Zarc to have a connection, but I think it would have been able to help Ray as well. Seemingly no one else besides Zarc and Ray could understand monsters' feelings in the Original World, so having someone else who knew what that was like could have been helpful to both of them.

we shouldn't have scars (but you have them, anyway)

Fandom: Yugioh ARC-V Pairing: Ray Akaba/Zarc

Being in bed next to Zarc inadvertedly makes Ray notice things.

Written for Chocolate Box event for the prompt "Birthmarks, scars and other things you’d only see when you are intimate with someone"

@arcvmonth Day 18 D/D/D- Different Dimension Day!

Even though its a little late (because I wanted to color these lol) I wanted to talk about my Mermaid AU- concepted while I drew my big piece for Mermay this year! I was originally going to turn it into a series basing them on the En cards, but I didnt have time (maybe next year?)

This is a high fantasy AU, of course, and each of the stories happen around the same time-which Ill get into later. All of the Bracelet Girls, Dragon Boys and Zarc + Ray are in their 20's here, with romantic interactions between the expected couples (Fruit, Apple, FallenAngel, Predator, Genesis). All of the stories are unrelated but take place around the same time, with the the exception of the Genesis which takes several decades before.

Just slapping the word 'Mermaid' on a character and not basing them on a sea creature has never been an option for my autism brain, so I based the girls off of sea creatures I thought suited them!

Yuzu is based on a Betta fish- the only freshwater mermaid out of the five- mainly because I think theyre gorgeous with their lovely flowing tails, but also because theyre highly territorial, which I will get into later.

Rin-Rin is based off of one of my favorite sea creatures, the Lionfish. Bright and beautiful, but venomous and a ruthless predator. She's also Siren.

Ruri is based on a Parrotfish. Beautiful, iridescent scales and placid nature who live in coral reefs. Also, bird pun becuase I couldnt resist.

Serena is a Human-Mer hybrid whose based off an Angler fish. Scary creatures who use beautiful light not to illuminate their surroundings, but to draw in prey. She requires more oxygen than a normal mermaid, so like a mudfish, she can chill out near the surface of the sea and take in oxygen when she needs to.

Ray is based off of a Sea Angel, which is apparently a sea slug. It's pretty and I dont know much about it, which is the exact same thing I can say about my girl Ray.

Under the cut ill get into my thoughts for each of the AUs! Including a minific which kind of adds a little context to my piece from Mermay!

Ill go over all my ideas for the different storylines - marked by their ship- and at the end is minific! Sorry for any punctuation/spelling mistakes!

Genesisshipping:

Zarc is an apprentice boatsman on his first voyage on a big ship. After smashing into rocky bluffs, the boat he's on capsizes and falls into the ocean. Almost drowning, he is rescued at the brink of death by Ray, who takes him to an uninhabited island to bring him back to life. Over a year or so, the two fall in love and while Zarc does want to escape the island he beleives its futile and doesnt even try. Eventually a ship does come to rescue him, and he promises Ray that he'll make it back to the island one day to be with her.

After hes back on land, people ask him what happened, howd he survive, ect; he eventually lets slip that a mermaid saved him. This makes it around, and eventually wealthy prospectors hear. Entranced by money and power wished to him, he leads hunters to the island to capture Ray.

Thinking that hes back to start a life with her, Ray's shocked when other people come from the boat and try to capture her. Realising Zarc had sold her out, she escapes to the sea, never to be seen again. Realising the error of his ways, Zarc decides to stay on the island after the disgruntled hunters leave in an attempt to attone for his greed and to hopefully see Ray one more time.

Appleshipping:

Hugo had always heard tales about sirens in books and wanted to if they were real or not. After attempt of humours faliures to become part of an actual reputable ship crew, he falls in with some pirates who decide to take him out to the seas. On his maiden voyage, he is so nervous that he cant fall asleep on his first night. Thats when he hears it. A siren's song in the distance.

The rest of the crew asleep, he steals a rowboat to find the source of the singing. He finds it- the most beautiful girl hed ever seen, singing the most beautiful song hed ever heard. He falls head over heels for her at first sight.

While Rin just wanted a meal, she now has to put up with idiot pirate trying to woo her. She is severly displeased about it, and makes it known. Then she realises- this dude is a grade A idiot with the luck of god on his side and now has to live with a human taking up her favorite rock. Ridiculousness insues

FallenAngelShipping:

Ute grew up in a port town that had a great relationship with the fellow merfolk. He and Ruri grew up together, and eventually became a couple. One day, the village was raided by hunters, who both killed and captured the humans and merfolk, burning the town to the ground.

While hed somehow escaped from the raiders, he knows he has to break in to the enemy camp as they transport prisoners and set everyone free.

After weeks of planning and watching them from afar, he finds the perfect moment and storms the encampment, setting everyone free, including his best friend Shun and his lovely Ruri.

While they are displaced, remaining survivors help rebuild the city, and they try to rebuild their lives. Now with round the clock border security :)

Predatorshipping:

Joeri is a wealthy buisness man who found success selling various snake oils in his teens. Feeling bored of scamming people out of their cash, he goes to a beah town in an effort to refresh, regroup his thoughts, and figure out his next buisness move.

While walking a beach in the dead of night, he notices a glow coming from a little cave in the distance. Sneaking a peek, he notices Serena stting, resting, and his mind races. Mermaids are uncommon, but not unheard of but most people havent seen one, so what if he could show her off?

Practically smelling the money from the buisness opportunity, he approaches her. She startles, and draws a weapon on him. That night he tries to talk her down and using all of his sales knowledge and charisma, tries to get her to warm up to him.

While it ends up in faliure, the next night she is in the cave again. And he makes up his mind to convince her to join him, whether that be by convincing her with his words, or bribing her with anything he can get his hands on. He has a goal and wont stop until it's realised.

Fruitshipping:

Feeling wanderlust in his early teens, Yuya decides to dedicate his life to becoming an adventurer to see all the beautiful sights hes read about in his beloved father's old travel diaries. After about a decade of seeing what the continent has to offer, he takes a wrong turn (not the first time) and accidentally stumbles into a serene clearing blanketed in cherry tree blossoms nestled in between foothills. In awe, he explores the adorable little field, picking wild dasies as he goes, and spots a lake fed by mountains. As he investigates, he is jumpscared by a mermaid who warns him to leave immediately or face the consequences.

After a breif moment of shock, he starts to laugh. Yuzu is flabbergasted, as most humans would have fled at that point. He tells her that meeting a mermaid was always on his bucket list and that hes pleased to make her acquaintance, which leaves her even more shocked.

While she is standoffish at first, Yuya sets up camp near the water's edge to really drink in the scenery, subbornly telling an annoyed Yuzu that it was the best vantage point in the clearing.

While he'd oly planned to stay for a couple of days, as he talked to Yuzu- her sharing enchanting stories about the depths of the lake and the merfolk who lived there and in turn, her avidly listening to Yuya's travel stories- he decided to stay through the end of spring... and then summer... until eventually autumn's chill prompts him to eventually- begrudgingly- forces him to start packing up his temporary home.

Over the months the two talked and talked and became best friends. Through the wilting daisy chains they made, to the silly splash fights they shared on hot days, to almost sombre monitoring of deciduous leaves starting to fall as the lake theyd made memories in starts to slowly develop its winter shell, baring the aquatic from the terrestrial.

As they say their goodbyes, Yuya noticing Yuzu shivering slightly as she sits above the water, he promises her to come back in the spring with even more travel stories, handing her one of his earrings in a jesture of his vow. And she is overjoyed.

As they part ways, he catches her tightly gripping the blue crystal of his earring before she slips below the water, and he wishes that winter would just leave and never come back.

Over the winter, Yuya can't stop thinking of his time in the clearing. The curiosity that Yuzu would have for the camp meals he'd cook. The sparkle in her eye as he'd describe one of his adventures. Her concern over even the most miniscule of old wounds hed accrued over the years. Her witty remarks that never failed to get a laugh out of him. That no matter where he went, he'd always wonder what Yuzu would think if she'd been there with him.

As the weather started to turn from hail and snow to bright skies and sunshowers, he practically made a mad dash to the little clearing tucked away on the forgotten road near the foothills, hoping that the ice had melted in the area- if not for the whole pond, at least around the crude dock he'd put together to sit with Yuzu on, so close to where he'd set up camp.

As he approaced the sea of sakura, the blooming daisies, the grass rejuvenated after it winter hibernation, he noticed a figure waiting where she always was early in the mornings before he awoke, brushing her beautiful magenta tinged hair, facing toward the mountains in the distance.

He grinned and picked the prettiest of the wild daisies he could see on the bushes around him.

He was back home and couldn't be happier.

what are your biggest arc V ships?? Do you enjoy bgirl x yuboy ships ???

Admittedly, I'm very averse to shipping in general, but some of them I do like a lot. Fruitshipping is my OTP bar none, Appleshipping can go a lot of ways and I love it for that. Fallenangelshipping and Predatorshipping are more on the platonic side to me, but I can still get behind a romantic interpretation... and while Genesisshipping doesn't quite grab me, the enemies to ??? they have going on is interesting to watch from a distance.

As for other pairings, Brashshipping (Shingo x Serena) is a funny crackpair that I like quite a bit. Nothing else stands out, though- like I said, romantic ships tend to not be my cup of tea.

👗🃏📺💘💵🍳🐶🍩📞📋zarc

Bisexual cowboy time

👗- His pants remind me of assless chaps lmao

🃏- He didn't really have many unique monsters so I guess I'm picking his ace monster

📺- Gotta be honest I Do Not remember much of Zarc's actual screentime and I'm not far enough into the sub rewatch to have seen how he's characterized there, so the one thing I Can remember is the duel that fucked up Zarc/Yuya have against Sora, which I will admit isn't even because of Zarc specifically, but because of the whole "Sora believes his best friend is dead" aspect

💘- I mean I Guess I will say genesisshipping (That's Ray/Zarc, right?) but I wouldn't say I'm crazy about it, there just aren't really any other options lol. My favorite take on them is "They are besties but also worsties", by which I mean Zarc thinks Ray is his bestie haha, but Ray wants to stab him every time he opens his mouth. I've not really thought about it outside of the school au.

💵- Cowboy pants to make his ass look nice, don't tell me he wouldn't

🍳- I believe that Zarc cooks but doesn't season anything because he doesn't know how to/doesn't believe it's needed unless it's basic salt or pepper, so he'll just make grilled chicken on the stove and half the time not put anything on it and call it a day

🐶- Totally a dog person, he radiates dog lover energy and wants the biggest dog possible to sit in his lap

🍩- I could see him having a sweet tooth yeah, probably nowhere near as bad as Sora, but he'll indulge from time to time with pastries and the like

📞- He's not opposed to texting but if something crazy happens he HAS to call about it because there's no way just typing will be able to convey everything that happened the way a phone call will

📋- Zarc is honestly probably insanely organized as a pro duelist and all, but little things escape him from time to time. He can keep to his routine without thinking about it, but if you introduce something that's not normally part of it (like maybe meeting up with a friend for lunch) there is a 70/30 chance he'll completely space on it until hours later and then promise to make it up to the person (another 70/30 chance he'll forget that, too.)

#bisexual cowboy dad #i dont dislike zarc but i sure dont hyperfixate on him like i do with my favorites #hes cool though and i didnt have as hard a time with this as i thought i would #asks #anon #ygo arc v #zarc #tw food mention #genesisshipping #ask game
