#thank you so much again Anubis!! <33

[definitelynotshouting]

alright WELL expect me to send more than one ask bc I’m awful <33 but THESE AU’S OKAYYY ALRIGHTH I AM LOOKINGGG +_+!!!!

I’ll be nice. I’ll be nice and ask for elaboration on one thing first while I let them simmer in my brain but I would love to hear the brainrot behind the kemetic symbolism 😳😳

- gonna make this easier by not signing off with a name but. an emoji here 🪐 wow. emoji so amaze but it’s eirian HI TOO FRIEND!!

Thank you for waiting patiently for me to answer this, friend, bc this is one of those concepts that i need a lot of time and space to properly brainrot abt bc it just means so much to me

To preface, i am a kemetic pagan, aka, i worship the ancient egyptian gods!! Ive been practicing for a solid decade now-- every so often i'll post something relevant to that on this blog since this is also where i post my art :] this au is essentially me saying "i see all ur religious imagery aus but what if. what if MY religious imagery au" and proceeding to go buckwild with it

Spoiler alert: i will be talking extensively abt kemeticism and kemetic imagery ahead; I will also be using terms the average layman might not be familiar with, so apologies in advance and feel free to ask clarifying questions if you're curious! Also obligatory cw for the canon typical suicide at the end of 3rd life, as well as some body horror/gore but i wont get too detailed with it.

The general premise is that post 3rd life, after Grian jumps from the cliff and falls to his death, he doesn't actually die; instead, broken and bleeding, he climbs to his feet and trails off without a true destination into the desert. His journey is intended to explicitly mirror the journey one would take through the Duat (the "Underworld") and to the Hall of Two Truths, where your heart is weighed to see if you may pass into the Field of Reeds (the afterlife¹).

The other part of the premise is that this fic is also an extended character study; Grian's journey involves one of guilt, grief, self-acceptance, and cleansing. There are a lot of things i want to incorporate into this-- like some of the 42 negative confessions, which is a spell in the Book of Coming Forth by Day (or more commonly known as the Book of the Dead) that consists of affirmations stating that one has not done certain things while in life. These confessions are generally understood less as literal truths and more as a purifying ritual, which is what i plan to use for Grian; there's something deeply heartbreaking about the concept of Grian telling himself, over and over, that he "has not caused pain," "has not caused weeping," and "has not killed" -- and something equally meaningful to me about him finally shedding that weight to actually embody what he's saying.

I also want to incorporate the concept of cleansing with natron, as well as water, and also other rituals used in both antiquity and modernity by my fellow kemetics. Cleansing is a very important concept in this fic: the idea that you are washing away isfet² and inviting ma'at³ in its place is central to the theme of healing and moving on that sits at the heart of this narrative.

Another common theme in the fic is Grian taking the place of many gods in their roles. One very important aspect of this is the continual Weighing of the Heart Ceremony that is conducted in dreams each night during Grian's journey. Grian proceeds to take on the roles of Anpu (Anubis), Wesir (Osiris), Djehuty (Thoth), the 42 Judges, Ma'at, and even the netjeri⁴ Ammit during this ceremony-- by ripping out his own heart, weighing it against one of his primary feathers, and eating it when it proves too heavy. These dreams continue over and over again throughout the fic, with the heart becoming progressively lighter as he begins to cleanse himself of the tragedy he took part in and moves toward the "afterlife," which in this case is Hermitcraft.

Scar, in this case, doesn't have a concrete role so much as his presence is quite literally haunting the narrative. I have yet to get my hands on a copy of Faulkner's⁵ Book of the Dead translation, but once i do i'll have a better picture of what i want to do with him, and how i want to incorporate him into the various pitfalls that come with one's journey through the Duat.

All in all, the fic is wildly self indulgent for me as a kemetic, and a fun way to connect my religion to my current hyperfixation :] thank you for asking about it because i have a LOT of feelings over the entire concept<3 if anyone is curious about the things i've said here, i'm super happy to answer questions about them-- regardless of whether they're about the fic or my religion.

Notes:

¹ in kemeticism, our afterlife isn't a paradise like you might associate with the concept of heaven, or the hellenic elysian fields, but is basically the idealized life of what you would have lived while on earth. I could go into a lot more detail with this (there are a lot of nuances that im simplifying here) but for now this is a good enough explanation.

² isfet is a bit of a hard term to translate, but the easiest way i can put it is the concept of non-constructive chaos. there are many beneficial kinds of chaos (such as those involved in the cycle of creation and balance), but isfet is something that unmakes and destroys. a very big part of kemeticism is casting out isfet and inviting ma'at in its place.

³ ma'at is both a goddess and a concept. it can be roughly translated to "truth/balance/justice" and is the act of creation itself. to invite ma'at is to invite order and balance into your life, and deny anything the footholds needed to unmake you or others.

⁴ netjeri is a relatively new term coined by Rev. Dr. Tamara L. Siuda (Hekatawy Alexandros), the Nisut (or leader) of Kemetic Orthodoxy, in order to shed the culturally christian baggage attached to the translation "demons" (which is the scholarly term). it can be essentially translated as "god-like." the best way i can describe them is as a class of creatures and spirits with a multitude of dispositions and roles, that are not actual gods. some of them however are considered minor deities, such as the sons of Heru-wer (Horus the Elder).

⁵ Faulkner's translation is the best and most accurate translation we have so far. if you see a translation by Budge, fucking run, that man was so innaccurate its actually physically painful

Final disclaimer: i am coming at these explanations of kemeticism from the lens of a modern kemetic pagan who is trying to keep them layman-friendly. while i do my best to make sure the information i give is accurate, i am not an egyptologist, and there are some things i haven't gotten very far with in regards to my personal studies. just keep in mind that there are some things i might have generalized for the sake of convenience, feel free to ask me more if you have questions, and do good independent research if you find yourself curious!! and a massive thanks to anyone who has gotten this far in reading something very special to me<3

[cynicalmusings]

aaaa im so happy that people like my cyno art concept!!! my brain is doing a happy little tap dance!!! :')

to the anon who asked to use my art as a pfp : yes!! ofc!! just credit me by using @ghosti_blu as it is my twitter handle, otherwise go off!!

also i completely forgot about the wind chimes oh my LORDDDDDDD no wonder it felt off!! i added it vry quickly, but my next cyno concept piece will be a lot more refined then this lmao ;-; i also rendered his face a little more and cleaned up the edges ^^

also also, here's the very very rough sketch of the sorcerer!cyno design! i apologize for how messy but i hope you enjoy it <3

some more things about the rough design :

i originally wanted to give him more layers, but i kept it minimal as the belt + multiple layers underneath would look too busy

i wanted to use the handle of his signature polearm as a stick to hold his lantern, but i had so much trouble trying to find a way to add a strap that i just gave up LMAO

was unsure if i should keep the anubis eye necklace, but i kept it as it made the chest window feel less empty :)

i wanted to make his lantern feel more whimsical, but i just opted for a normal lantern to draw more focus on to his design

anyways uhh yeah that's it lmao ;-; sorry for the big word vomit, i like rambling about my thought process n stuff,,, thank you again for liking my art aaaaaaaaaaaaa :'00 that means the world to me <33

just… wow. again, i have no words to describe how awed i am by this. you just… you’re amazing. wow.

#i’m so honoured that people are making fanart of like. my fanfiction #my brain is just going ‘huh??’ #the long cloak version also looks awesome by the way! i actually usually imagine it being quite long #which of course doesn’t detract from the other one’s value because both are *chef’s kiss* #just… ugh #you’re a legend #sent: bluebelony #r answers #dark sorcerer!cyno

Anubis Drabble

Here’s the first of the follower drabbles featuring Anubis! Thanks again for the support <33 Please let me know what you think!

There’s not much that can beat the city at night. You could do without the shouting and honking below and without the acrid scent of garbage and urine, and the weather has been oppressively hot recently, but now, when the wind is just short of warm and the air is just short of cool? You could fall asleep out here, you’re so relaxed.

… Except for the shouting. And honking. And oh, now there’s a cop directing traffic, how nice. You screw your eyes shut, trying to get back the feeling of serenity you just had, but no. It’s gone. Chased away by the shrill sound of a whistle making traffic worse than it already is.

You sigh, rolling your neck to stretch out kinks that never fully go away anymore. Begin psyching yourself up to stand and go inside, to maybe make some food instead of ordering in.

“Long day?”

Your eyes fly open and you leap out of your chair, spinning so fast that you don’t immediately make out the face of whoever just snuck onto your balcony. “Christ, what the hell.”

“Wrong religion, I’m afraid,” the man smiles as you clutch your chest, standing with far more elegance than you’d ever manage. He’s balancing on the stone ledge between safety and a sixty-foot drop and you have to clench your jaw to keep from shouting at him to get off. “But similar geography.”

“You could have called, Anubis.”

He raises an eyebrow then turns, pointing into your apartment. Directly where your pager is seated neatly on a table.

“Ah.”

“Are you going to invite me in, ya amar? Or am I to stand out here all night?”

“Yeah, of course. Come in.” You stretch your back before grabbing at the sliding door, wincing as you feel your spine pop. “It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, hasn’t it?”

“Too long.”

There’s something in his voice that makes you want to turn around, but you wrench the door open instead. Step inside to an apartment that now feels far too cold for your liking. “Can I get you anything? Water?”

“I am fine.”

“Not very talkative today, are you?” You rummage around in your fridge, pulling out a bottle of water. Dinner will have to wait. Anubis hums, and you can hear him begin to settle himself on your couch. “No more than usual.”

You roll your eyes at that, more out of affection than anything else, and take a swig of your drink. “I guess I’ll have to do the talking. Again.” You walk over to join him on the couch, sitting so there’s enough space between the two of you to still be… professional. As professional as having a client in your home after hours could be, anyway. You fold your legs under themselves, leaning back into the plush back of the furniture. “What did you do today? Anything fun?”

He looks at you from the corner of his eye, and the golden shadow shimmering around his eyelids makes his irises appear even darker. “You said you would do our talking.”

“So I did,” you say, thinking further into the couch. “But it’s not like I have anything to report, you know. Work was, well. Work. I didn’t get home until like six, but that’s nothing new.”

“Mm.”

“Amaterasu was a pain in the ass today, but that’s also nothing new,” you grumble. That statement is more for your sake than his.

“The other god. From the east.”

“Yeah, from Japan.”

“Are we all so troublesome?”

You wince. “No, it’s not--I shouldn’t have said that, forget it.”

“You are not answering my question.”

“Look,” you run a hand over your head. “None of you are a bother. I shouldn’t have brought it up, it was unprofessional. I just… forgot, for a second. That you’re, you know. A client too.” You got too comfortable, and isn’t that becoming an increasingly common issue.

He frowns slightly before turning away, and you notice he’s added new jewelry to his braids. You wonder, not for the first time, what they’d feel like between your fingers, and chase the thought away guiltily. “... Do I trouble you? By coming here?”

You blink. “What? No, why would you think that?” you ask.

You can see his jaw clenching underneath dark skin. Thinking. “It’s as you say. I am a client.” His hands twitch on the final word, as if he wishes to curl them into fists. “I do not wish to trouble you.”

He’s worried about something like that? You purse your lips then snort. When he turns to face you, clearly confused and offended by the noise you just made, you try and fail to hold back a laugh. “Anubis, I--look. If I didn’t want you to come over, I wouldn’t have given you my address. You’re fine.”

“But-”

“No buts!” You put your hand on top of his, trying not to let your mind linger on how smooth and soft and warm his skin is. When you withdraw, there’s the faintest echo of a tingle on your skin. “I just meant I shouldn’t talk to you about work stuff. It’s not a good idea, and it’s boring as hell anyway.”

Anubis’ eyes flick from your face to his hand, over and over again.

“...Okay?” you ask.

He nods stiffly.

“Cool. Let me order dinner and then I’ll put on a movie.”

Before you can stand, there’s the faintest touch on your arm. A request. Stay. “I am glad to have met you, ya amar. I treasure each moment you grant me.” His eyes bore into yours, the weight of his sincerity making your heart do a funny thing in your chest.

“I, uh.” Say something. “Me too. I mean. Yeah, we’re--” you clear your throat. “Yeah.” The way he smiles up at you, still sincere and not a hint of pity after… whatever your response was just now makes you feel like you’re a child. Or maybe a teenager. “In fact, I like you so much I’ll even show you the greatest movie ever made.”

He blinks. “You have decided on the greatest movie?”

You nod. “Oh yes. There will never be another movie ever made that can even approach this.”

“Ah.” He clicks his tongue. “You’re saying it’s your favorite, then. Not the pinnacle of human creation.”

“They’re the same thing!”

His lips twitch. “Of course. I look forward to it, then.”

Chapter 33 - Reborn

~29 December 2005, 16:00~

“I’m… awake again…” Rex’s eyes quickly fluttered open after passing out for the second time that day. “What is goi- Aaaaaah!” His screams piqued the interests of the other patients, nurses, and doctors in the campus hospital.

“Rex, we’re already there,” spoke Joey as Dr. Balls and two of his nurses briskly whisked Rex into the delivery room. Joey, Mokuba, Tricera, Ptera, Camellia, and Spinos were the only ones allowed into the actual delivery room while everyone else was ordered to wait just outside.

“Aww, come on, I want to see some of the action!” Tristan pouted. Even though the delivery room was larger than anyone imagined, he could see very little with so many people in there. “Why Joey and not me?”

“This isn’t about you, you idiot.” Téa bopped Tristan on the head. 

“Ma’am… Mrs. Raptor?” Joey began as Dr. Balls attached an EKG to Rex. It was too late into the delivery to administer an epidural now. “I have a small request. May I hold Rex’s hand throughout this birth?”

“May I hold his other hand?” Mokuba asked.

Ptera blinked, surprised that someone who once claimed he could “duel circles around Rex” would ask this of her. “Yes… Yes, of course you may. The two of you have been nothing but helpful to my boy throughout all of this.”

“Thank you so much, ma’am.” Joey and Mokuba bowed as they both flanked Rex.

“Hehehe…” Rex received a short break from the contractions, and smiled at his friend and rival. “I never thought we’d find ourselves like this . Let me know if you’re going to be late to your own kids’ birth, and I’ll gladly hold Mai’s hand for you.”

“Should you really be making japes at a time like this?” Mokuba scolded.

“Hey, I’m just trying to make this process a little easier for myself before-” The contractions began again, and Rex cried louder than ever.

“Oh, gods…” Espa winced as he could hear Rex’s cries well enough. Naturally, said cries were laced with cuss words. “That’s going to be me in five months? And I’m going to have to go through that twice in a row! I… I don’t think I’m going to be ready…”

“Yes you will, love… Well, minus the cuss words, of course.” Mako hugged his boyfriend’s shoulders. “I believe in you, so let’s believe in Rex too.”

Even throughout all his pain, Rex could still hear every word being said on the other side of that glass. “At least… hah… someone believes in me… ‘Cuz I can hardly take this anymore!”

“Less talking and more breathing,” Dr. Balls ordered.

“If you can survive the two times I’ve beaten you, then you can survive this.”

“That’s not helping, Joey!” Rex snarled. The contractions were practically nonstop at this point; even his stubborn attitude couldn’t help now. “I just wish… Weeves was here…”

“Rex…” Mokuba could see the hopelessness in his cousin’s eyes.

“Amber… My baby is going to have to grow up without her father!” Rex’s cries were softer, but with more tears, as he didn’t have the energy or desire to push anymore. 

“Rex, don’t give up now!” Dr. Balls encouraged. “Look! I can already see the top of Amber’s head!”

“Weeves…” Rex’s vision began to fade, and he really thought he would die in childbirth right then and there. 

But then, all of a sudden, Dr. Balls took a break to open the door and shout, “FOR THE LOVE OF RA, people need to stop running in this fucking hospital!”

“Now who might that be?” Camellia peered out the door too. “It’s… Oh my gods…”

“It must be the prime minister or something, if you’re all going to abandon me at a time like this!” Rex shouted as everyone except Joey and Mokuba looked to the man who barged into the delivery room.

“No, I’m someone even better than that,” replied the “intruder.” “Number one in all of Japan, to be exact.”

“It can’t be… Weeves!” Rex’s vision returned, just in time to see the face of his boyfriend, alive and well. Weevil had bandages wrapped tightly around where his right arm used to be. “How did… I mean-”

“As a not-so-wise man once said, less talking and more breathing.” Weevil rushed to Rex’s right side, taking Joey’s place.

“How could you have heard that-”

“Ahem.” Dr. Balls cleared his throat. “There are way too many of you in here now. Can you please wait outside with the others?”

“Yes, of course.” Ptera joined Rex’s friends on the other side of the glass without protest.

“I’m glad you made it… Hngh!” Rex could sense that most of Amber’s head was already out. “It would have been nice if you didn’t fucking wait until my daughter started crowning! ”

“I’ll explain later, I promise,” Weevil reassured as he held Rex’s right hand with his left hand, occasionally stroking Rex’s hair with it too. “I would have gotten here sooner, but as you can see, I’m a little… short-handed. ”

“OH MY FUCKING GODS, WEEVIL, CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!”

“All right, all right…” Five minutes had passed before Weevil said, “Come on, hun, you can do this. Just a couple more pushes ought to do it.”

“Easy for you to say, bug boy! FUUUUUUCK!” Rex gave those two final pushes his all.

“And you would be correct, Weevil!” Dr. Balls presented a crying, very pink and sticky baby before Rex. “Here’s little Amber!”

“Hun, you did it!” Weevil teared up as he and Rex looked upon their tiny newborn daughter. She had not yet opened her eyes, and there was so much blood and amniotic fluid in her hair that it was hard to discern her hair colour.

“She’s so beautiful…” Rex kissed his daughter’s little head. “Oh…”

“Isn’t she?” Weevil’s smile soon faded when he noticed that Rex wasn’t awake, even as he expelled the placenta. “Hun?”

Dr. Balls took note of the irregularity on the EKG. “He’s going into ventricular fibrillation! Get the defibrillator ready before his heart stops!”

“Hun!” Weevil began to panic as Dr. Balls tried to defibrillate Rex, a nurse tended to Amber, and another nurse ushered him out of the delivery room. “Rex!”

“He’ll… He’ll be okay.” Téa never thought she’d see the day when she’d hug Weevil in consolation.

“You sure? I mean… even after all I’ve done to him?”

“If I say that he can, then he will,” spoke an approaching voice that was definitely not Téa’s. 

“It’s… Kaiba!” Weevil exclaimed at the sight of his stepcousin. “You’re alive too!”

Even from where he stood, Kaiba could see that Rex’s vitals had returned to normal. “See? Just my presence could cure him. I’m that awesome.”

“Papa!” Heka gave his mother a tearful hug. “Thank Anubis for having mercy on you!”

“How did you make it?” Atem asked.

“This pinworm would know. It’s the same reason he managed to survive.” Kaiba winked.

“Oh…” Weevil understood what Kaiba meant.

“Is that supposed to be some kind of code?” Joey leered at Kaiba.

“Yes. A.k.a. ‘it’s none of your business,’ Wheeler.”

“Yup, this is the real, very much alive Kaiba, all right. Who else can be just as annoying?”

“...” Weevil had not seen Atem since the war from two years ago.

“Ah, Weevil.” Atem patted a barely accepting Weevil on the shoulder. “I hope you’ve been well. I am so sorry about the loss of your daughter.”

“She’s reborn, not dead. I thought you would know about rebirth better than anyone, King of Lame. As for why I am late… Well, I’ll tell you all later, if I feel like it.” Weevil fell silent after saying this, and that was when Dr. Balls came out of the delivery room. “Doctor! Is… Is Rex…”

“He suffered a minor hemorrhage, which is what caused the v-fib. But he’ll be fine after a day’s worth of rest. You guys are more than welcome to visit him tomorrow, though.”

“Doctor…” Weevil reached into a shorts pocket, but declined to retrieve what was in it. “No, it can wait until tomorrow.”

~30 December 2005; 16:30~

“Phew…” Even though Rex had woken up twenty minutes ago, he was still not fully awake, even with Amber breastfeeding from him.

“How are you feeling, Rex?” Dr. Balls asked as he checked Rex’s vitals, being careful not to disturb Amber.

“I’m tired as shit, but I think I’ll be fine after a bit of rest.” Rex twirled one of Amber’s small locks of hair. “Not that I think I’ll be getting it any time soon, thanks to this little bean.”

“In that case, you’re free to go whenever you’re able. You are fortunate to have recovered so quickly; your vitals look perfect.”

“I’d like to go now, but a certain pest problem said he’d be here in ten minutes.”

“How about more like ten seconds?” Weevil knocked before entering the room.

“I’ll leave you two be, then.” Dr. Balls met Weevil at the door. “Oh, and one more thing before I go.”

“Yes?”

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you,” Weevil spoke as Dr. Balls left Rex’s hospital room. He beamed when the first thing he saw after that was Rex breastfeeding his newborn daughter. “Hey, hun. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.”

“Quite the contrary, baby.” Rex put his shirt all the way on. It was only just then that he noticed Weevil’s prosthetic right arm. It looked like a hand manikin from the art supply stores, except it was made of black titanium, with a few wires visibly running through the fingers and wrist. “Yo, nice arm.”

“Yet another reason why I was late today. I had to make a pit stop by the city hospital to get fitted for it and, thanks to KaibaCorp’s technology, that process didn’t take long.”

“Yet another reason to like Mokuba! Anyhoo, Amber just finished eating. You want to hold her?”

“And why wouldn’t I?” Weevil took the seat next to Rex as he gave him a swaddled-up Amber. As soon as she landed in his arms, Weevil immediately started crying. Amber had a short blanket of mint green hair on her head, with two small lavender sideburns sticking out just above her ears. “She looks just like me!”

“But she has my eyes.” Rex smirked.

“Hmm?” Weevil looked as Amber finally opened her eyes for the first time. “No, she doesn’t, dino brain. Look harder.”

Rex leaned in to get a better look at Amber’s eyes. “She has a purple right eye and a blue left eye! Well, her eyes have my eyes’ shape, so my point still stands.”

“Even in her future incarnation, I never noticed,” Weevil remarked.

These words gave Rex a solemn reminder. “Speaking of our future daughter, she’s dead.” Rex shook his head when he remembered future Amber’s dying words. “Scratch that. Amber…” Rex smiled as he stroked his daughter’s fat baby cheeks. “You’re back… You’re alive.”

“Gooooh!” Amber cooed happily, grabbing Rex’s finger as he played with her.

“Hey, I’m here too!” Weevil booped Amber’s nose; the infant was quick to grab his finger too. “I’m sorry you have to deal with a metal finger, my little love bug. Your daddy has been… a little mean.”

“Gooh?” Amber waved Weevil’s finger before kissing it.

“You…” Weevil cried even harder as he kissed Amber’s hand too. “Aww, I love you too, Amber!”

“You’re already a father, and yet you’re still a crybaby.” Rex chuckled. “So, bug boy. Care to explain why you barely made it in time to your daughter’s birth?”

“Why, it’s the same reason why Kaiba managed to live. We’ve… had a little help from beyond.”

“What do you mean?”

No sooner had Rex asked this question when a miniscule whirlwind whipped about, and a ghost appeared before the three. “He must be talking about me. ”

“Who…?” Rex squinted at the scarred, tan-skinned man before him. “Bakura?”

“We meet again, Hu and Sia.” The thief king swooped down gently to touch Amber’s face. “So… You have a child together now. Congratulations.”

“Bakura, what are you doing here?” Rex wondered.

“I came here because even from the afterlife, I could sense Priest Seto and Sia were in trouble.”

“Thanks again, Bakura… I’m indebted to you.” Weevil turned to Rex after Bakura’s spirit left. “But that’s only one reason that I’m late. In fact, it isn’t the main reason why I’m late.”

“It isn’t?” Rex watched while, after putting Amber in her wheeled baby buggy, Weevil reached into his pockets and took a small item out of them.

“It’s actually…” Weevil took a deep breath. “I had to make a pit stop to a high-end jeweler’s on my way here. I despise my Underwood surname, and I just thought of the best way to do something about it.”

“And how’s that?”

With full confidence, Weevil got down on one knee and presented a red-and-black ring. “By changing it to Raptor.”

“Oh…” Rex’s eyes opened wide. “Oh, Weeves…”

“Rex Raptor, will you marry me?”

“Yes…” Rex started bawling. “Yes, Weevil, I will! But first…”

“‘But first…?’”

Rex reached into his handbag, which thankfully stood upright on the closeby coffee table. “Darn, you beat me to it,” he whined as he produced a much cheaper-looking rose gold ring. “It’s got rubies and sapphires, just like your Metamorphosed Insect Queen.”

Weevil held out his left hand, and the new fiancés exchanged their rings. “And yours is made of black zirconium, with dinosaur bone inlay.”

“Sounds fancy!” Rex admired the ring placed upon his hand. 

“Yeah, it’s ¥109472 kind of fancy.”

“Yeesh! S-Sorry yours costs only ¥31277. But it’s all I can afford, even after saving money from working at Mama’s restaurant… and doing odd jobs for my dad. When we actually get married, I’ll be sure to get you something fancier.”

“Don’t worry about it. On the contrary, I quite like this ring.” Weevil picked Amber up and handed her to Rex.

“Aww, I’m glad…” Rex lightly combed Amber’s hair with his fingers. 

“Did you hear that, Amber? We’re going to be a family soon!” Weevil spoke.

“Goo gaaaa!” Amber laughed.

“And we have like, what? Ten people to break the good news to?” Rex put Amber in the buggy again. After donning his jacket, muffler, and handbag, he tucked Amber with a cozy blanket.

“But shouldn’t you still be resting?” Weevil held Rex’s back as the both of them walked forward with Amber in tow. 

“Eh, Dr. Balls said I’m okay to go whenever I feel like it,” Rex responded after the two had just exited the campus hospital. “I was just waiting for your sluggish ass to get here.”

“Naw, Joey is the sluggish one,” Duke spoke as the “Dweeb Patrol” met with Rex and Weevil. “He insisted that we stop by the grocery store to get cake, but you guys have already left.”

“Sorry, dude. But we just had something we had to tell you all.” Rex held Weevil’s hand and showed off their rings. “Weeves and I are gonna get married.”

“Awwww!” Mai and Téa loved Weevil’s engagement ring. 

“Don’t you dare tell them how cheap it is,” Rex whispered to Weevil.

“Hehe, I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Téa took a glance at Amber. “Oh my gosh, is this your baby?”

“You know it.” Rex made finger guns.

“Look at those pretty eyes!” Mai remarked while the members of the “Dweeb Patrol” looked at Amber too.

“ My pretty eyes.” Rex waggled his eyebrows at Weevil, who bonked him on the head in response.

“She’s a cutie, that one,” Joey noted. As soon as he got his face close, Amber poked him in the eye. “Ouch!”

“Pbbbbbbbt!” Amber sputtered.

“Haha…” Joey rubbed the eye Amber poked. “She hates me already. Looks like I’ve got a lot of work to do… again. And I’m really jealous that you beat me to the delivery room, Rex. But congratulations anyway.”

“And what’s that supposed to mean?” Mai scrunched her face.

“N-Nothing! Ya’ didn’t hear that!”

“I’ll give you babies when I’m good and ready! And no sooner!”

“Okay, okay…” Joey couldn’t break free of the noogies Mai gave him, and the “Dweeb Patrol” laughed at the couple’s antics. “Hmm? Eh, it’s that stinkin’ rich boy.”

“I’m surprised you have the cojones to say that after all I’ve done for you.”

“And… You’re here too.” Joey acknowledged Thief King Bakura’s spirit.

“Thank you for helping us.” Atem bowed to Bakura from the waist down. “Even after the Kul Elna massacre, you were still willing to help both Weevil and my husband.”

“Ooh!” Heka pushed everyone aside to look at Amber. “Amber is, like, the cutest baby ever! So, this is what my girlfriend looked like when she was a baby!”

“Watch it, you sick fuck,” Weevil warned with a bop on the head. “She’s only a day old.”

“I know, I know.” All of a sudden, Heka stopped talking before using a more serious tone, with a hint of tears. “No matter how long it takes, I’ll win your heart again. Even if I have to nearly die for you again.” Heka kissed Amber’s feet before stepping back, earning a glare from Weevil.

“We must go back to ancient Egypt now, but we’ll be sure to make it in time for your guys’ wedding.”

“Yugi… I-I mean, Atem…” Weevil stammered.

“Don’t worry, Weevil. If I say I’ll be there, then I will.” Atem ruffled the even shorter duelist’s hair. “And you can entertain your wedding guests by having your revenge on me in a duel.”

Weevil’s tone of voice turned happier. “I’ll squash you, Pharaoh! I can assure you that it won’t end like our train duel.”

“I’ll hold you to that. Farewell!” Atem gave Weevil a fist bump before singing the Incantation, returning himself, Heka, and Kaiba to their own time.

“Oh?” Weevil noticed that not only did Bakura not leave yet, but he also got really close to him and Rex. “Why are you still here?”

“So you and Hu are getting married. I’m… sniff… I’m glad…”

“Bakura…” Weevil reached a hand out to the Thief King. “You were in love with my past self, weren’t you?”

“!!” Bakura jolted at this question, but didn’t bother to deny it. “Sia… He was my whole world. I couldn’t possibly tarnish my friendship with him by telling him how I feel, so I allowed him to have a relationship with Hu.”

“I’m so sorry.” Weevil took Bakura’s hand into his own and hugged him, allowing him to cry on his shoulders.

When Bakura stopped crying, he turned to Rex. “Hu… I’m sorry, Rex. Honestly, congratulations. You just might see me at the wedding, too. In the form of a friend, if I might add.”

“Bakura…?” Rex tried to chase after a fading Bakura. “Wait, what do you… Aaaaaand he’s gone.”

“And we should be, too.” Weevil walked ahead, with the intention of going to the park later with his friends. “But first… Let’s go home and get something more appropriate to carry our newborn baby in.”

“Actually, can you do me a favour, Weeves?” Rex brought his hands into a praying pose. “I promised Espa that I would go clothes-shopping with him today.”

“Rex, you don’t have to,” Espa half-heartedly insisted. “I mean, you just gave birth yesterday, so I’m sure you-”

“Now, here’s something you gotta learn about shapeshifters, m’dude. We heal faster than your average Joe.”

“Gee, that makes me feel loads better about this whole process.” Espa grunted as he felt his twins kick at the same time. “These two are literal demon spawn.”

“Don’t let Mako hear you say that,” Weevil warned.

“Aww, come on, it’ll be worth it!” Rex threw an arm around Espa’s shoulders. “I swore early in my pregnancy that I was going to give Amber what for, but now that I can see her sweet little eyes and baby cheeks, I can’t say no.”

“Rex… Okay. Well, what are we waiting for, then?”

“Weeves…” Rex turned to his fiancé and kissed his ring finger. “I’ll be back.”

“You better. Unless you want Ptera to read you the Riot Act.” And with that, Weevil was out of sight, already wanting to show his newborn daughter the joys of the insect world.

Overwatch League LIVE Match Summary - New York Excelsior vs. Boston Uprising

Hey all! I will keep this post constantly updated as the final game of the day plays on. I haven’t tried doing this before, so I’m not even sure if tumblr will let me do live updates, but if it doesn’t, I’ll come up with something else. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, don’t miss the match between the Fuel and the Outlaws! SUPER close game as they enter the final round.

7:21 PM MST - Fuel wins! The analysts are considering why the game went the way it did.

7:26 PM MST - The analysts are kind of contradicting themselves here. They said during the match, especially during Oasis, that Fuel had super creative, oddball team comps and strategies. Meanwhile, the Outlaws played pretty conservative, meta-heavy comps. Then, in the post-match talkback, they said that Houston Outlaws have greater flexibility and have a greater range of gameplay styles. Now, I know that those two statements don’t exactly match up, but they sound very contradictory to me.

7:31 PM MST - I wonder where Soe was last game. A female voice, even an analyst, is vital in this male-dominated game. At the same time, she’s not saying much so far. Give her a chance to speak, guys. Also, it looks like Excelsior will win if the pattern continues on. Every team on the left side of the bracket today has won 3-2.

7:40 PM MST - I have no idea which of the players I just saw belonged to which team thanks to the overly similar color schemes. Oh well. At this point, I’m pretty ignorant regarding the individual players on each team. I’m here for the gameplay, though I imagine that will eventually change.

8:04 PM MST - Apologies for my disappearance; duties at home called. Regardless, I was able to catch a bit of the first round, and Excelsior creamed Uprising on El Dorado. It seems my completely unfounded prediction is coming true thus far.

8:08 PM MST - Sombra’s (Neko) decision to hack the upper left health pack on Anubis confused me a bit. I would have thought the health pack under the floating ship would be a priority, but maybe Uprising wanted more healing rather than denying Excelsior’s healing.

8:11 PM MST - Holy cow, Excelsior is steamrolling Uprising. Uprising managed to hold them off on point B, but Excelsior still has nearly five minutes left to take it.

8:14 PM MST - It is undeniable that Excelsior is heavily outplaying Uprising. Anubis is a notoriously difficult map to assault, and yet Excelsior closed with over two minutes left on the clock. I will be very surprised if Boston can come back with a good answer. 

8:17 PM MST - Dreamkazper, from Uprising, has been doing an excellent job staying on the point. After he dodged a D. Va ult and killed Excelsior’s Mercy, he held the point for nearly a minute, giving his team enough time to take Point A. Uprising still took more time to take Point A than Excelsior did, though.

8:19 PM MST - Uprising has attempted two assaults on Point B and were easily repelled both times. Their coordination is a lot weaker than Excelsior’s by far.

8:20 PM MST - Uprising’s clock just matched Excelsior. Their final assault got them the point, even despite a D. Va ult and a Mei ice wall and block from Excelsior. Despite this, Excelsior still looks like the more coordinated team. Uprising begins Anubis’ third round on assault.

8:23 PM MST - Uprising takes Point A more smoothly even than Excelsior did during the first round of Anubis. Dreamkasper’s Reaper again serves Uprising well.

8:26 PM MST - Uprising does not take point B. Excelsior has the advantage. They have more time, and all they have to do to win is gain 33% of the capture bar. At the same time, Excelsior’s confidence seems to have broken a bit. Their ranks have been breaking a lot more easily following their crushing first round win.

8:27 PM MST - Pine, from Excelsior, was playing Widowmaker. He just got three picks in a row. Uprising’s Tracer, Genji, and Sombra all went down within fifteen seconds of each other. This allows Excelsior to take Point A with little trouble at all.

8:29 PM MST - Excelsior used a D. Va ult to wreck the Uprising defensive. The ult gave them enough time to successfully take the first third of the point and successfully take the victory. Excelsior up, 2-0.

8:31 PM MST - My halftime will be a bit longer because I am grabbing some food. See you soon!

8:46 PM MST - Food is acquired, and we’re back in the fray at Oasis. Saebyeolbe from Excelsior is kicking butt as McCree. Just watched him get three picks within a minute. He died to an unfortunate Pulse Bomb from Uprising’s Striker, and Excelsior’s attack fell apart.

8:47 PM MST - Uprising has taken the first point on Oasis. Their defense was excellent, and Excelsior had a hard time breaking through.

8:49 PM MST - Uprising’s Kellex, playing Lucio, helped his team gain control of the second point with a well-placed boop. Two of Excelsior’s players went over the edge, and they have yet to recover.

8:52 PM MST - Excelsior takes the point, while Uprising has 77% left. Then, when Excelsior gets the point to 33%, Uprising manages to take it back. Excelsior manages to get onto the point to contest at the exact last second, but Boston steamrolls them all the way to 100%. The D. Va play from Uprising was excellent, and helped Uprising gain their first point since the match started.

8:55 PM MST - While we’re in break, I will comment that it is far more difficult to watch the game and type than I initially anticipated. I keep missing vital details that help me understand the overall narrative of the match. I don’t plan on doing live updates for every match I cover, but I may have to come up with a better solution for when I do write live updates. 

8:57 PM MST - Eichenwalde is the last map of the match if Excelsior wins. Otherwise, we’ll be heading into a tiebreaker. Excelsior had the advantage and better play in the beginning, but they seem to be cracking under Uprising’s pressure.

8:59 PM MST - Excelsior’s Pharah, played by Pine, wins the Pharmercy duel by taking out Uprising’s Pharah. However, Excelsior immediately loses three of their own, losing the advantage and forcing a retreat. New York doesn’t take the point until nearly two minutes later.

9:06 PM MST - Coming along the first bend, both teams stay pretty even, trading pick for pick. Regardless, Excelsior manages to push to the bridge, and Uprising manages to shut them down there. Uprising’s team takes to the tower to pin Excelsior down near the spawn, but right before overtime, Excelsior’s D. Va, played by Meko, sneaks onto the payload and forces the entire Uprising team to turn around and come back. This destroys Uprising’s defense, and they can’t do anything until Excelsior takes the payload all the way to the Crusader’s grave.

9:07 PM MST - My stream dies.

9:09 PM MST - Technical difficulties fixed. Dreamkazper takes his Uprising Genji all the way back behind Excelsior’s ranks and waits for an opportunity to jump into a team fight from behind. When Dreamkazper acts, he is shut down by Excelsior’s Winston.

9:11 PM MST - Excelsior is kicking Uprising back to the curb. Boston’s unique attempt to come at the point from multiple directions at once isn’t working. The flankers keep getting cut down.

9:14 PM MST - Uprising actually manages to break the Excelsior defenses. They contest on 66% for some time, with Excelsior’s Winston, played by Mano, using his bubble to stay alive for some time, but Uprising ultimately takes the payload and begins moving it forward.

9:16 PM MST - Excelsior manages to keep the payload beneath the tower bridge, meaning Uprising only has seconds to touch the payload before overtime. At the last second, Uprising’s Winston manages to get on, but despite the team’s best efforts, Excelsior gains their final wind and shuts them down.

Excelsior - 3, Uprising - 1

That was the last game of the second day of the preseason! After the preseason ends, I will probably post my thoughts on a few things. In the meantime, hope you enjoyed the match and live recap.

Cheers, luv!
