Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
Most of the time we see Atem acting all cool and self-confident but I think that’s because everytime he comes out of the puzzle it’s to play games aka do something he’s very good at.
But if he had to do something he’s bad at/doesn’t understand as the 3000 years old spirit he is? Like, let’s say he took over for a P.E. lesson and we have to play volleyball.
“WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THESE BALLS PEOPLE THROW AT ME OUCH IT HURTS AND WHY ARE YOU ALL YELLING AT ME OUCH WHAT OUCH WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO WHAT IM NOT SUPPOSED TO STEP OVER THIS LINE OUCH OH MY RA WHAT IS THIS OUCH PLEASE MAKE IT STOP AIBO HELP ME AIBOOOOO”
Jou and the others would find him hiding in a corner and shaking like a traumatised kitten and mumbling “Aibo what is this everyone is evil aibo I’m scared aiboooo save me please”
And it’d take Yugi a looot of soul room cuddles to calm Temmy down. 😦 ❤
Judai: Hey guys, since we are Bros living under the same roof, I proposed that our top main priority will be to protect each other at all cost. I even make up our code names too!! Wanna hear it?
Yusei: ….No no, that’s okay Ju–
Judai: Alright then!! Roll call!
Atem:( Pharaoh will be “Eagle One”!! ) ….um, what is “Eagle One”?…
Yugi:( Yugi-san will be “Eagle Two”!! ) It’s nothing serious Atem so don’t worry about it. Heh heh…
Yusei:( Yusei will be “That Biker Dude”!! ) ….*sighs*
Yuma:( Yuma will be “Pop Goes The Shrimp”!! ) Oh come on, Judai!! I want something more cooler!!
Yuya:( Yuya will be “Two-Face Goggles”!! ) Um, people can easily tell it’s me with the goggles…you know.
Yusaku:( Yusaku will be “Play That Maker!!” ) ….are you trying to reveal my Avatar or making fun of me there?…
Judai: And I will be, “Eagle Three”!!.
Yuma: Hold on there!! There’s no such code as “Eagle Three”!!
Yusei: That’s right…besides, you are already the “Kuriboh” in the group since the beginning.
Judai: Asdfgh!! Hell no!! I am NOT a Kuriboh, Yusei!!
In Duel Links, you can’t duel Yami Yugi at the gate while using baby Yugi and vice versa.
And this tiny detail makes me ridiculously happy? Like this is part of what I enjoy so much about Duel Links, the tiny nods to canon stuff from YGO and how plotwise, it makes sense instead of just doing whatever.
Also because dueling Yami Yugi in PvP and watching the dialogue between the two hurts my heart enough
on that note… how the hell did people at school see yuugi?
that shy kid who was bullied by everyone until he made some friends and then suddenly…. became really famous card game champion?
what did they think about his many absences at school?
did anyone besides his friends and some s0 enemies notice that his behavior completely changed sometimes, like he became a completely different person?
Still stuck in the maze of darkness! Yami thinks he’s figured it out, but instead of just telling Yugi his idea, he gets all mentor-y and ~guides~ Yugi to the same conclusion…
It’s super adorable that they both assume that Noah is going to play them fair. Like, for all they know, the reason they haven’t gotten anywhere isn’t because they haven’t figured out the trick, it’s just because Noah’s a dick
Dickishness or not, they figure out they have to defeat an escalating series of doors (i don’t fuckin know) and it appears to work.
SUPER. ADORABLE.
So they start to actually progress, and Yugi, at least, can hear Anzu calling for help. It’s probably not actually her, or it’s a “recording” of shouting she did earlier, because, as badly as her duel is going, she is not, to her credit, randomly screaming Yugi’s name at intervals throughout. At least, not on screen.
Confusingly for everyone, Anzu calls both Yugi and The Other Yugi just “Yugi” to their face (probably the most polite move), so even though she’s calling his name, Yugi has misgivings, which Yami senses but doesn’t quite read. He asks, instead, what’s up, and Yugi smoothly assuages Yami’s concerns…
lol, jk, he totally fumbles
</3
Yugi isn’t sure if Anzu’s calling for him or for Yami or just generally for redemption from the penguiny hell to which she has been condemned, so he, of course, assumes that she couldn’t possibly want him. Possibly because, had Yugi been condemned to a penguiny hell, he would want to call on Yami to save him, so he assumes Anzu would do the same.
Consumed by fretful self-doubt, Yugi rashly underestimates a door, leading to some very adorkable protective!Yami
Yugi’s attack is soundly rebounded from the door, leaving Yami an opportunity to be a show-off
yeah yeah, easy for you to say now that some kind of reflective force has acted as a barrier to the attack
Completely incapable of doing anything without there being an elaborate edifice of card game rules in place to bolster them against the chaos of an uncaring universe, Yugi and Yami have decided, based on literally no information, that they have to discard any card they defeat a door with to the card graveyard, and also that they can only use cards in the order they draw them in. Let me reiterate that at no point is this restriction stipulated by Noah or the situation, or even implied. They just decided it themselves in their own semi-shared consciousness. They have done this because they crave the moment when it will all come down to this last draw as a mewling babe craves her mothers milk
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS LAST DRAW! CAN YUGI DEFEAT THIS … fuckin door?
… honestly not what I was expecting. I guess Yugi and Yami decided to take this opportunity to try out some B-list Monsters.
Anyway, the door is defeated and sent to the Shadow Realm and Yugi races to reach Anzu but is brought up short
SHORT, geddit? cause he’s SHORT.
In our absence, how is the duel going for Anzu?
…. could be better.
I often question whether any thought whatsoever has been put into the ratio of remaining Life Points to expanse of the body consumed / vanished / frozen / whatever flavour of the day. This is one of those times. I have no conclusions.
Yugi is despondent but Yami is stoic
That’s sweet!
There’s only ONE CARD that can save Anzu now and IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS LAST DRAW
DAMMIT ANZU I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING THE HANG OF THIS STUPID GAME! ONE MUST NEVER DOUBT THE POWERS OF CHEAPLY WROUGHT NARRATIVE SUSPENSE THE HEART OF THE CARDS
for indeed, sure enough!
See, now that’s an ability that actually reflects the character of the character associated with the card!
Then for some ill-explored reason…
I mean this is super cool – HASHTAG PUN INTENDED – and all
and I fucking love Dark Magician (and the way Yami hovers just cause he can)
and like DAMN YEAH #DREAMTEAM #SLAY
but would it have been too much to ask to just have DMG call on the powers of her fallen comrades and thereby just won the duel? Proving the misogynist Penguinfucker totally wrong for underestimating her and Anzu? Because he says DMG can’t beat him without DM, and literally says she’s not scary or powerful cause she’s a girl monster, and then the writers idea of a stirring rebuttal is to … have DM show up to help her? So instead of being like “WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE! I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD LOSE TO A GIRL BUT I UNEQUIVOCALLY HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG!!” he just says
Which, yeah, she didn’t. And it was a poor choice, and it was a deliberate writing decision to have Anzu fuck up like that and then #happyending be rescued by her male friend and his male-coded monster. And Anzu fought the whole highly exasperating duel by herself, with DMG, but because they swoop in at the last possible second, Yugi still gets this welcome:
well at least he has the decency to look embarrassed!
