More under-rated moments of early YGO that I love because I clutch it too closely to my heart (and that I'm only past the labyrinth brothers duel for DM--):
Yami Yugi/Atem's reveal for his and Yuugi's entire bondage-esque thing was done differently in between Toei's anime and the manga. However they're both quite significant for that episode/chapter's plot.
Anime (Ep. 10): The one that features the wicked witch Chono-sensei, who's entire shtick is that she's a 'stickler' for rules and likes bullying students using them. So when Yami challenges her to a game, he deliberately takes his jacket off, and does the cape moment like an absolute rule-breaker. What a smug king, we can do nothing else but stan:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Manga (Duel 43): I've mentioned this before but since it's relevant, I'm adding it again. During this bit Yami removes his button-down for the "Now I'm getting serious" shonen moment, which is so incredibly dramatic and overtly unnecessary, since all it does is show where he got punched twice in clearer form. What a drama king, we can also do nothing else but stan:
Tumblr media
Personally, I love the Toei one more because this was the only time Yami ever takes off the jacket. He doesn't do it in for Chono's chapter in the manga, and he doesn't do it for the rest of the show. Which means it was a deliberate decision by the animators/writers to put it in. How wild is that
Tho tbh I also just love both reveals because it they're pretty in-line with Yami's character when he plays his games! After all, he's a performer, and he's gotta make sure to look the part...

Advice for getting to know tumblr crushes?
Someone clearly took my "ask me for advice" thing to their heart, I mean good 4 u it was fun to answer this ask
Okay, so first of all, I'm not entirely sure if you're asking about getting to know Tumblr crushes in general (in a sense like, getting to know new people) or getting to know some particular crush, so I'll be talking about both.
How to meet new people you may develop crushes on in the future - on Tumblr
Please don't, it's a dying website. Of course I'm joking, but only partially. Gaining following on Tumblr is hard. Not impossible, but hard. If you're here for the "social" aspect of social media, I think Tumblr is one of the least appealing websites. Tumblr experience is actually the best if you treat it like some sort of online journal / digital scrapbook.
Common interests and being active in fandom helps a lot, just choose fandom that isn't dead / circlejerk of few popular blogs (coughs ygo fandom in huge part coughs)
Make your own posts, even if you think you have nothing that interesting to say. Most people I got to know here I met because they interacted with my posts - often posts I spent like, 5 minutes writing. I think what gets popular on Tumblr is very random. Don't shy away from tags! If you're not using them "Instagram way" (we call it spamming here), you'll be fine.
This one is generic "how to be popular on Tumblr" thing, but I think common characteristic of popular-ish Tumblr blogs is having some distinctive theme going on. You know, that thing that Frank Zappa called "conceptual continuity". Just choose something that people can think when they hear about your blog. Or dont. Having some interesting quirks helps tho
If you have some niche knowledge, don't hesitate to flex it! I noticed that people on Tumblr actually love long informative posts
I think adding your comments under posts isn't some faux pas or "omg don't do that". It isn't if, but how you're doing this. Don't overdo this and you'll still be fine
Yep, I know that followers count isn't visible on Tumblr. Still, interacting with smaller blogs - especially less popular fanart and fanfiction blogs - will get you further than trying to make blogers with 6 digit numbers of notes under their posts notice you. Just saying.
And last but not least, being nice is something that cannot be advertised enough. A lot of my moots are just nice, warm people (at least online) and that's why I like scrolling through their blogs in a first place
Okay, now to the harder part:
Oh no! I have crush on someone on Tumblr. What should I do to get to know them better?
First of all, who is your crush? Not in a "give me their IP address and username", but who are they as a person? What do they like? Are they someone who likes to interact with new people or someone who prefers to reblog post and stay somewhat outside of the centre of attention? Those are important questions, because a lot of how to approach someone depends on how they present themselves on Tumblr in general.
For example, some people love to get DMs, while others hate this. That being said, going full "hello beautiful 🌹how is it going?" probably isn't the best idea
If you don't know each other that well, interact with them on some more neutral ground first. Do you like the same books? The same movies? Great! You have something to talk with them!
Where do they live? All of the secret Santa / art trades / postcard exchanges are actually a really good way to get to know them better. Send them nice postcard or buy some nice little threat. Just don't be a creep tsk tsk
Speaking of creeps, I think talking with people on Tumblr can get difficult because everyone has different boundaries and understanding what is creepy and what is not. If you have doubts, just ask them, "is this and this okay with you?". Asking doesn't hurt, and if they're someone who gets offended by questions because it's "ruining the suspense" then well they're beyond help
No one can stop you from going full "I have a crush on you" in their ask box though and paradoxically I think sometimes it isn't bad idea at all, if you're not total strangers. If you feel that being online friends with them isn't enough for you, why not be fair and put things straight with them? It's a lot less stress for you two + personally I'd be very impressed with such honesty.
That being said, I'm weird so you can probably just ignore me
Talking / doing things over discord is actually great way to spend some time together while still keeping your friendship online
If you want to meet them irl and they agree, then why not do so? (Although if they're living on different continent there may be some problems)
You can usually fascinate Tumblr mutual by offering them piece of cheese vanilla extract
I don't know is it going to be helpful for you, anon, or not, but good luck with your Tumblr crushes anyway

Please… please I would love to hear about your ygo gx thoughts bc I’ve missed hearing about that show…
GX was so good so fucking good, it's my favorite out of the ygo spinoffs that I've watched (5d's and ArcV), it's got so many good characters and it even has a good and satisfying ending, I'm about to be so incoherent in these ramblings
Judai is a great character, he's not my favorite character out of the show but I still love him. Good boy who was so hopeful and friendly (to hide all the trauma) and then ended up having more horrific trauma and having to relearn how to be hopeful and friendly (but in a more genuine way, not simply repressing things as he used to). 10/10 would hug
With my fave being Yubel which you might guess. They were the og problematic fave. I remember being 10 and watching this dragon ruining things for everyone else like hm. I think this may awake a lot of things in me. And I watched the dub as a kid, where they are depicted as a woman, then I found out they are genderqueer in the original version and I was like even more in love. They just have all the things I love. Queer. Dramatic. Obsessive evil bastard. Mental health issue. Dragon.
And there's so many other quality characters. Steve Irwin with a whole crocodile and a magic eye whose powers are never actually elaborated upon at any point. Burned out former straight A student who did what everyone in academia eventually wishes aka become a BDSM emo and start electrocuting people. A dude who is also a dinosaur through a plot twist even Jurassic Park would never dream of. This show was throwing all the wildest concepts at us and it was fucking beautiful
But like. The thing is. Yes the character concepts were wild. Yes you had to employ a lot of suspension of disbelief at times even for a ygo show. But the character development was also so so good? And not just for the main character and maybe one or two other guys, but so many got their development! Manjoume, Shou and Kaiser, Asuka, they all got their season four spotlight to see their new goals, and even side characters like O'Brian got their small moments. Seeing them all go their ways was so beautiful
Ships are also damn good. Judai/Yubel/Johan polycule is very good. Also I can't get over the fact that this gay throuple is technically kind of canon in a very fucked up way. Most of the couples ygo wants you to ship are the hint hint nudge nudge flavor of straight shonen couples that never gets too explicit, but then GX season 3 gives you love triangle between two guys and one's guy genderqueer jealous ex who is also a dragon. Insane
Other good ships: Judai/Manjoume (hell yeah rivals), Edo/Kaiser (hell YEAH rivals), O'Brian/Jim (hunk boyfriends), Jim/Kenzan (fossil boyfriends), actually can we go for the ultimate muscle and ship O'Brian/Jim/Kenzan? But yes lots of shipping potential
Anyways it's kind of annoying there isn't a lot for GX on ao3, or at least there wasn't last I checked. There is so much fic potential. Maybe ffnet might have more, it usually does for old fandoms, but ffnet's interface frustrates me. Plus the fact that GX was kind of badly received, what with being the first spinoff, might have just cut out the number of fanworks even later on
It really is a pity tho that GX was unpopular at first. It's a really good series, it's almost a bit too goofy at first but the change in tone in later seasons is great, plus fitting too considering that it is a kind of coming age thing, all these high schoolers starting out full of hope and naivety and then getting trauma for it. The fact that it's also the only spinoff that has strong ties to DM gives it so much potential. I mean, does Manjoume's family have any particular ties to Kaiba corp? Which and how many of the GX kids would one day meet Yugi, or the rest of the DM gang? What if Judai on his travels ends up meeting people like the Ishtars? For that matter, did the Ishtars know about the multiple dimensions or the Supreme King? Because if anyone from DM was going to be aware of all the things we discover in GX, it would have been them
What if Seto Kaiba and Hell Kaiser got in a fist fight what then
I just love GX so much

Still trying to get used to tumblr again, here’s a temp pinned post until I get sorted out. 😂
Hi, I’m Maxi! They/she, 21+
This is a side blog, if I follow you it’s from my main @thetictactician (that account is mainly ffxiv and non-fandom oc content)
YGO centric stuff here but I might be inclined to rb or post stuff from similar-ish franchises like Beyblade. :3
All art I post is my own and drawn by me unless explicitly stated otherwise on said post.
There will be OCs here. I’m not ship heavy but OCXcanon will be present (mostly MaixTomo and other lesbian ships!! 😘)
I’m very vanilla, there won’t be anything spicy here. Not into that with these kinda fandoms at all. (Yeah ok the Harpie Ladies have sexy outfits, but I mean like intentional sexual content not just outfits lol.)
I do like quite a few (not oc) ships but I’m not majorly into any so I probably won’t be drawing them myself.
I love DM, ZeXal, GX and VRAINs (not finished watching VRAINS yet tho)
I like 5Ds and Arc-V but only surface level simply because I’ve not watched them yet. I will. One day.
I predominantly use sub/jp names bc that’s the language I watch in. Only know dub names from the DM era and some GX from childhood/ Yugioh abridged LOL
Fave charas include Mai, Anzu, Ishizu, Mokuba, Kaiba, Karen & Jim, Asuka, Manjoume, Yuuma & Astral, Anna, Cathy, Kotori… uh yeah anyway there’s more but then I’ll be here all day
This got long and rambly fast so I’ll stop here. 😂

Any HC about Yugi's grandpa? Or just family in general? (Also, do you do only ygo dm or sequels too?)
Howdy! So sorry tumblr didn’t tell me I had an ask!
I honestly don’t have any HC’s about Yugi’s family other than his grandfather. I always assumed that Yugi was recently-ish orphaned and left in the guardianship with his grandfather (which also partially explained to me why he was introverted and had been left behind by friends like Andy/Teá in season 0)
Ive written this out tho and boy howdy that might be an accidental head canon ha!

Hello, by the way, a while ago you talked about how maybe nobody was interested in talking about your character's cutting deck ... But please do it !!! God I love talking about deck types and how it connects to each player's personality!
Oh my gosh, this is so sweet, thank you for letting me ramble about my OCs! (also, you guys, always feel free to ramble to me about your OCs!) (This is the previous post about my Yugioh OCs)
A bit about how I picture Daina and her duelist story through the series: I don't think she dueled in Duelist Kingdom but after seeing all the messed up stuff there and realizing that it probably wasn't the end for her friends, she started honing her dueling skills to help protect Yugi and the others. She entered Battle City and her favorite battle was against Mai for a slot in the finals. In my head, I actually think she beat Mai and took her place in the finals (and in the story) but I can also see a path where she loses to Mai honorably. She enters all the major tournaments but actually has to be convinced by Yugi to enter the Kaiba corp championship because she has some trauma from Battle City.
But Any Way! On to her actual deck.
So I'll admit, despite playing Duel Links, I'm not actually well versed in the terminology of the deck types, besides some things a friend has said to me (like what a "burn" deck is) but I personally would call Daina's deck style an "armory" deck.
Most of her cards revolve around lower-level monsters gaining high-level attack points, either through the monster's own effect or through spell/trap cards. (Monsters like this that you'll see in her deck are ones like: "Raging Flame Sprite", "Ancient Dragon", "Cold Enchanter", "Maiden of Macabre", "Maha Vailo, Light of the Hevans" etc.) She has lots of Equip spells that help out her so-called weaker monsters, but her favorite by far is "Power of the Guardians" which increases a monster's attack points with every attack! Her favorite monsters to pair with Power of the Guardians is "Mataza the Zapper" (who can attack twice each turn!) and "Maiden of Macabre". Another equip card she favors is "Glass Slippers" which, admittedly, only helps the few fairy monsters she has, but she also uses it to render her opponents stronger monsters useless. Let's also not forget about "Twin Swords of Flashing Light" (which she also likes to pair with Mataza and Mada Vailo to devastate her opponents in one turn!)
That isn't the only strategy she has though, she has a few cards you can special summon like "Chaos Hunter" and "Blizard Princess". (I also had this cool scene in my head where Daina duels Mai in Battle City and uses Chaos Hunter when Mai tries to summon her harpy ladies *u*) I also made up a few cards in my head that she'd have in her deck, one called "Kitsune Illusionist" whose effect is that she cannot be destroyed by battle while in defense mode. And, as I said in my previous post, I came up with her ace card, "Winged Guardian" who can negate attacks made on lower-level monsters. I think that card is the one that reflects Daina the most, what with her need to protect people, but her lower-level cards getting stronger also reflects her ^.^
Also while this description is definitely her main deck, like most characters she changes up her deck as the story goes on. I had it in my head that during the Big Five/Noah arc she uses a deck she was experimenting with before battle city, a deck that she fondly calls "Mages of Winter" that features monsters like "Blizard Princess", "Ice Master", and "Cold Enchanter" and it features more spellcaster monsters than her other deck.
Other than that I think she just generally stick with Warrior-type monsters and traps cards that negate her opponents from messing with her equip cards, or ones that build up her defenses.
IDK who else will care to read this but it was nice rambling about her deck so thank you!

*looking u in the eyes* 👁👁 tell me your ygo blorbos
*GRIPESKF YOU* COME HERE
okayd okay first on da list
honestly??? unsurprisingly it’s probably a tie between joey and chazz they’re so asnbdnfjfkfnfnfjfjg fucked up little guys!!!! jo’s got a place in my heart w his sad tboy gambler swag.,., and chazz has teen angst galore i could talk abt them all day *looks at the chazz essay in my notes app* i will rant abt this two sm i have so many thoughts. kaiba is probably my third fav but you didn’t hear that from me. but joey’s probably my fav fav believe it or not.
SCRUNGKLY.,., prolly yugi he is just shaped like a little guy.,,, OH AND BAKURA HE IS LIKE SCRUNGLED AND SOMETIMES EVIL AND FUCKED UP I LOVE HIM SO,,. he has the shape of neutral evil
UNDERRATED FAV IS CHAZZ FOR SUREEE IM SORRY img always feeling like i’m the only appreciator of him around here (but maybe that’s bc i kin) OH AND ATTICUS AS WELL i think they’re severely underrated both fanbase and show wise they’re just fuckrd up dramatic hilarious little guys it’s actually so funny *hides my atticus analysis essay behind my back*
OBSCURE FAV.,. hrm bg characters i lik,,., that’s pretty much like every dm minor antag tbh 😭 like especially espa roba and mako tsunami/ryota i think they’re fun in their own ways.,. non dm character would definitely be bastion though i wish ygo gx did him right he could’ve been the next tenya iida.,.,, HE HAD SOO MUCH GOING FOR HIM WHYD THEY TOSS HIM AWAY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
OKAY THIS ONE actually kinda took a minute cuz i think most ygo characters are kinda at least mildly liked.. i suppose it’s probably edo/aster phoenix? i never see ppl talk about him so it’s just more on the unpopular side- including sartorious/saiou as well lmaoooo i think they’re interesting tho ig i understand why bc the major of their shit was resolved in the s2 finale but stilanfendjdjdjdj my scrimblos my umbrella guys,,,,,
genuinely trying to think but i don’t think i have a problematic or weird fav bwhaha like maybeeee yubel??? but i think most ppl like them at this point lmaoo
wait actually i do he’s not a fav bc i hate the ever living shit out him but adrian fucking gecko/amon. if i saw him i would fucking punt him idc if he can lift steel chairs and he has a six pack and ultra rich i will send this guy to super hell. however the manga version of him can stay and that’s why he technically fits this
honestly would torment the shit out of zane for fun i just think he’s silly tho i get why he’s like that. but like still who wouldn’t want to mess w him (thisjf is my inner atticus rhodes kin jumping out)
i’m sending gozaburo kaiba to a special kind of super hell he’s not coming back from.
anyways here enjoy the chazz
