A few doors encountered by Wayward Children. Might make this into a bookmark for myself idk
[ID copied from alt: A narrow, vertically oriented canvas showing 3 different doors rendered in black lineart, meant to look like ink sketches on parchment. The first door at the top resembles ancient Greek architecture, with a pomegranate and branches decorating the top, Ionic columns on the sides, and a narrow entryway leading into blackness. The second door below that is round and nestled into the base of a tree, and the third, slightly ajar, is heavy and damaged wood with lightning emerging from it. At the bottom is cursive text that reads, "be sure." End ID.]

The idea is this: for whatever reason, Astral now has a human body, and when he materializes from the Emperor Key, he takes it for himself and can hide back.
Since the Barians in their human forms already have ready-made clothes, Astral has them too. (he is very upset about this :( )
Also, since he's a silly ghost who's used to floating around, he keeps materializing in places he's not supposed to, usually high up. And driving Yuma crazy because, "AUBWCUJKJV ASTRAL ARE YOU AN IDIOT? STOP TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF" and Astral is like "sure, Yuma, I'm not an idiot" and then you find him at a traffic light.
Or in jail, because the police found him at a traffic light before Yuma did.
Translation into English:
Yuma after 0.1 seconds: Astral! 😃
Yuma after 0.2 seconds: 😅
Yuma after 0.3 seconds: …😨wait ASTRAL!
Astral: Yuma :D!
***
Astral: What's the matter, Yuma? Aren't you glad to see me? :<
Yuma: Very glad… G-give me a second.
After this, Yuma will scold him and tell him to materialize only nearby, so that if anything happens, Yuma can catch him!!! 🤲🤲🤲
There isn't anything inherently bad with puzzleshipping fics featuring the "have their own bodies" au. I wouldn't even really call it an au because once upon a time ago YamiYugi/Atem did have his own body. He was and eventually is his own person. With his own memories and his own life and his own personality and quirks outside of being part of Yugi, and vice-versa. So I don't think it's necessarily fair to claim fics who make YamiYugj/Atem as his own person physically outside of Yugi are somehow inferior to that of the two souls or one soul and an entity sharing one body and being totally Not Normal about it.
Personally I'm for both obvs and so the appeal of either/or is clear to me.
I just think what needs to be kept in mind for the "they have their own bodies" fics is that on the flip side, you now have two halves of a soul living in their own bodies. While Atem and Yugi are technically their own person, sharing a body and a life and everything can cause the melding of two souls, I think. It definitely was showcased in DSOD with Yugi admitting that he doesn't just miss and think about Atem sometimes, but all the time. "You left me." There's also season 4 of YGO DM, while technically not canon, it did showcase what YamiYugi/Atem's reaction would be to losing what might as well be his better half. He was unstable. He was desperate. He had little private breakdowns over it. He basically destroyed a kids soul for pretending to rip the card containing Yugi in half to taunt Atem.
These two represent "two sides of the same coin." They are, eventually, two halves of the same soul—or maybe not even eventually, since it's hinted that Yugi was chosen by the Millennium puzzle to solve and house the spirit/entity that resides within it. It's also canon that it took 8 years for Yugi to finally solve—what child would stick with that goal in mind if not for outside forces at play, driving him to complete it? Yugi loves games, but does he love them enough, as a child around 7-8 years old, to stay that determined to finish an old artifact puzzle game, just because? Hard to believe.
So when you have them in their own bodies, I just think it's important to play up the fact they are 1) missing the other half of their soul, and; 2) absolutely unapologetically Not Normal about each other and their bond once they find each other again. They have to be weird and borderline if not actually unhealthily obsessed, possessive, and in love with each other.
It's about falling in love with your shadow and what's in the reflection vs. It's all about falling in love with your other half and what you find in the reflection of their eyes mirroring your same emotions back. You don't know where either of you stop and begin vs. Making love it's like the last puzzle piece snapping into place and it's the closest either of you will be to feeling whole. In my dreams you're always there by my side I know where to find you vs. You run through my dreams and I find myself always chasing you. You're the other me vs. You're my other half. I will give you all my memories I will share the rest of my life if it means you stay vs. I will give you all of me heart soul body and my future if it means you'll stay. I want to stay with you forever vs. Now that I've found you I'll never let you go. You were mine then and you're mine now. When you left me I feel the absence in my soul vs. Don't ever leave me I can't go back to feeling incomplete again. I know you Vs. Don't I know you? Your body is mine vs. Your body is mine. I miss you all the time vs. I have been missing you all of my life. You're my heart vs. You're my soul vs. You're my everything. Without you I'm cut in half, I'm imbalanced. Etc etc etc
They are the embodiment of starcrossed and cursed for it. Their partnership is legendary and spanning across lifetimes. They are codependent af. Needy and jealous. Always looking and finding themselves in each other. Would kill and die and sacrifice for each other. What one lacks in the other makes up for. Their bond and feelings for each other goes beyond basic labels, it's all encompassing. Soulmate barely contains it. It's theirs and nobody else's.
So. Yeah. Yugi and YamiYugi/Atem sharing one body as two souls is great, eat it up every time. But so is when they have their own bodies, because they can still have that type of insane bond, that noticeable chemistry, the obvious attraction in a crowd, the insatiable hunger and desire for physical intimacy and union. To feel complete, to become whole, even when separated by two bodies.

there's a fine line between being wary of manipulation and becoming completely paranoid because you get very close to the realisation that pretty much all human interaction involves doing things we hope will lead to a result we like
this post is about a lot of things. it's about my ex saying it was manipulative to talk to them in a cute voice because that influenced their emotions. it's also about someone on this webbed site saying being funny is "engagement farming". like yeah every single conversation you have is going to be "manipulative" if your standard for that is "did something with the goal of eliciting a response". if that bothers you go live in a hut in the forest and speak only to the trees. I'll be over here manipulating my friends into being happy by giving them compliments
Finished watching Kuroko no Basket a bit ago and wanted to redesign some of the characters. It’s a really good anime and part of me feels like if it had better character design, it could’ve been more memorable today. Similar to how Haikyuu is.
It started with Akashi bc I felt his design didn’t well convey his royal themes. I know how similar he is to Kuroko is meant to reference how in a previous draft, they were meant to be brothers but I feel the final antagonist of a story should be visually striking. Moreover, if it wasn’t for his smug look, you wouldn’t get the tragic wealthy heir vibe at all so his design fails to communicate his most important feature. To ease into the transition, I like to imagine he keeps his og hair in middle school and starts slicking it back in highschool.
Then the redesign fever infected the rest of Rakuzan bc I was dissatisfied with how, despite their narrative importance, the Uncrowned Kings’ had kinda bland designs. There’s a lot of untapped fun there.
Then I redid all the team jerseys cause I felt Kajo got majorly snubbed. And then I hallucinated better designs and a backstory for Team Jabberwock. And then-
Yeah, really it’s not objectively better maybe but I had fun adding things and making up some headcannons.

I hope I'm not bothering anyone, but I keep finding myself in the same problem, and I have a pretty sure idea what's at the root: amatormativity.
I'm ace and somewhat around, so I know what it is, and I've been trying to fight it forever, but apparently not that well at lately it's really starting to give me problems, so I come with a call for help.
Are there any ace, aro, aroace, literally anyone who knows it with like, advice on how to work against it and unlearning it?
Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Have a good time!
