Reminder Cole has two hands

Give it a whirl for... my newly beloved Rubyshipping (Ryou x Atem x TKB)!!! Also good luck getting back in the writing groove, I feel you there 💖

The Wheel has spoken!

What the hell even, okay...

*Deep breath* Okay, just hear me out...

Ancient Egypt setting, don't ask me for details. Atem gets poisoned as an assassination attempt, but thankfully Isis gets a warning from the necklace in time and interrupted him drinking the poisoned wine, so he doesn't get a full dose of poison. He's still pretty sick though, and Ryou is curled up by his side taking care of him while Seth and Mahad are interrogating the would-be assassin together (because nothing's more romantic than an interrogation with your warlock bf ❤️ sure, they're lovers here, why not). But Bakura has his own plan aand thinks that waiting on certain information is a waste of time, so he just disappears for the entire night, nobody knows where he is or when exactly he disappeared or even what exit he used. By morning, Atem still isn't doing great—fever, chills, sweating, a bit of delirium—but he's at least halfway lucid now. Ryou's a tired sad boy that Isis and Mana have been trying to comfort while helping take care of their pharaoh.

Then! All of a sudden! Just before sunrise, Bakura is climbing through the window of Atem's room with a very blood-stained sack asking over his shoulder. It's the head of the price responsible for the assassination attempt, but Seth and Mahad only just got the guy's name. They burst into the room like, "Guys, we know who's responsible!" And Bakura's like, "Pft, way ahead of you, I already killed the dude." And he holds out the sack with the dude's head in it, and Ryou tells him to get it out of the bedroom and put the head on a pike like a decent person, you silly barbarian." Bakura's love language is ✨ Acts of Violence ✨ but as touching as this is, Atem still sits up and says, "Can everyone please get out? I'm trying to not die in here, thanks." So everybody leaves, but ofc he didn't mean Ryou and Bakura, and he makes them stay with him (Mahad is tasked with "taking care of" the severed head) and Ryou lays down with Atem, finally getting some sleep of his own, and when Ryou is alseep, Bakura quietly asks Atem if he's really going to be okay. Atem smiles and tells him that he's going to be just fine, and Bakura cuddles up with him and falls asleep too, because both he and Ryou were up all night and both of them do need that rest. Atem has his boys with him, so when Mana comes back to check on him an hour later, he's asleep too, but he fell asleep with a smile.

I went a little wild with it, hope you don't mind. Did I go too far? I didn't mean to. 🙇‍♀️

I love the rubies............. so much.......................... save me....................................

The story I came up with is that once they had all settled into Little Homeworld a little, they noticed that everyone had fancy new outfits and they wanted fancy new outfits too. So they all poofed each other with the weapons that I will draw eventually and came back with these.

Navy is pansexual, Army is a butch lesbian, and they’re married!

I do ship her with other characters! Here’s some favorites:

Jaspball is an obvious choice! I really do think Eyeball and Jasper would be a very fitting and very loving war veteran couple. It has the potential to go far beyond hero worship.

You can read more on why Jasper/Eyeball would be a wholesome pair in this wonderful post!  I swear I ghostwrote it.

Rubyshipping!

I mean, just look at her with all of her girlfriends!

They’re beautiful together~!

And… this ship. Rupphireball.

Look at her. She knows what those two are all about.

She totally wants in.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m happy to say the same about your art as well! It’s always a treat to see it pop up on my dash! (Seriously guys, check out their stuff!!!)

Also... I love your icon!

Eyeball looks about ready to sing her heart out...
