Again and Again

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

So uh- about the fact that Thief King Bakura hauls Atem’s father in on a rope and why that detail of the rope is important:

TKB in this moment is making a demand of the pharaoh and his mages. Return the millennium items to me. And it’s important that he’s using specifically desecrated corpse of Atem’s father on a rope as his argument.

(Don’t you see my rage, pharaoh? My grief? It kills you to see your only family denied rest to be put on display, do you understand why I hate you for wearing my family and everyone I’ve known on a rope around your own neck?! Don’t you see?! Here is your father! Now give me mine back!!!)

And Atem doesn’t listen. Doesn’t know what to listen for. (And nobody who does would care to.) pushes Bakura aside and— (apparently a dead pharaoh deserves more human decency let alone respect than the boy he wronged. Apparently talking with these assholes doesn’t work. Time for plan B.)
