Ooooo since you're on the topic of your favorite merch, which ones do you like to specifically take out on adventures with you? Yugi deserves to see the world 🥹
YESSS OK! I have a few different items for different places and situations I'm in! I do always take at least one Yugi or Yami with me when I leave the house though! So they see lots
So this specific TOMY club mocchi-mocchi big Yugi plush goes with me to hospital appointments...
As you can tell - very well loved! Look at the mucky hair compared to a new one.. I do have a clean, rarely touched one I take to therapy appointments, he is kept in his own special bag so I cannot forget him. But this one goes to long road trips and to big appointments, it's also the one I hug at nights and bury against when I'm scared. He's also been to a few different countries. What a worldly little Yugi!
If I cannot take the big guy I take a little one!
The first one is the classic s2 Yugi! I LOVE taking him to the forest. We watch the local ducks together!
My family has dogs and I've been trying to attend walks to the forest to help actually move in my day, so he comes with me on the days when I can. I also like sitting him in my lap during short drives and sitting him on my desk when I'm playing games.
If he's too large or if I don't wanna carry anything (say, if I'm going shopping and won't be able to hold anything..)
I take this one! This is the Yami fingerpuppet! He's small and ADORABLE and I can hook him onto a zipper or my walking stick. And LOOK AT HIIIIMMM! sometimes I'll take him and my s2 Yugi, if I need more comfort. Or if I wanna be super decked out in Yugi's, because I can put this guy around my belt loops.
If I want a medium sized Yami to take with me, I take this (uh. One of them. Not all three-)! He's bigger than the classic s2 Yugi, but not as big as the mocchi-mocchi Yugi! He's super comforting to hold and also he's very wonky (/positive) and that makes me smile
These two are also some items I take out with me!
The first is a 20cm cotton doll (he's in his Dino onesie rn cause I'm reading with hims) and the second is a bit of a weird one.. But it's a pocket watch! I don't have a battery fitted but this yugioh pocket watch is one I take everywhere with me. So if I'm stressed while outside I can open it and look at him and feel safe 𐔌՞ ܸ.ˬ.ܸ՞𐦯 it's comforting to have an object I can fidget with and open and close and look at. I usually have the time set to the hour u consider our "meeting hour" (๑﹏๑//)
That's all I carry these days! But as a bonus round..
This was my first Yugi or Yami plushie! I got him when I was like.. 14? 15?? Fun fact! I would never, ever seperate with him.
When I was taking my GCSE's, they uniform checked me. I had special permission to carry him with me to the exam (my anxiety was so major and I was in a tonne of physical pain so I was usually in an isolated room) and the person watching over me not only uniform checked me, but also him. They smiled and went "just making sure he won't cheat on the test for you" and I almost cried ngl 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°。 I felt so happy.
Anyway he's been well loved and taken everywhere for a good few years now. He's turned grey, and his main fabric is permanently destroyed. For comparison, here's a new, clean one:
But that wear and tear shows how loved he is, I will never try to change him even if he's not my first or even fifth option for a Yugi to take adventuring with
This guy has been across all of Europe, put down a fucking waterside, brought through exams and appointments and at one point used as one of my only forms of expression to people... He deserves to be a little grey, he's earned that wear and tear!
I absolutely love bringing Yugi with me in some form. I feel weird without him, I'm with him 24/7 in some way...
All of my Yugi's have lots of adventures and I hope to keep showing them my world 🥺 he deserves that 🥺
