Star Trek and Gundam? Fuck that's heaven~
The next time you watch TOS–especially if it’s a really serious episode–just remember that somewhere in the Enterprise, at all times, there is an enormous balloon decoy of the ship. JUST IN CASE.
And the balloon works in outer space becauseIT’S THE FUTURE, WE FIGURED IT OUT, DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT.
Just think about how big that balloon Enterprise is. Do you think it has to be blown up for cleaning and maintenance, like, every few years? I hope they do it planetside and make a bouncy castle out of it. I hope all those little balloon windows are real and everyone has balloon quarters that they decorate with balloon furniture.

Forget the boots its the thighs that got me
Atem's so KAWAIIIIIIIII~!!!♡
Mindless idea I had years ago, suddenly I want to draw about it. What if Kaiba and Yami already dating but Jounouchi doesn't know, so he tried to rope Yami into his own scheme.
Unfortunately for him, Kaiba can recognized his spouse even in disguise.
Anime style Young Justice? Iam in. Make Dick being robin longer too
DC's Best Couple~!♡♡♡
Birdflash be like "Prepare for trouble" "And make it double"
sdkjsdk ye basically! yj!birdflash exudes this energy the most
That "You Will" tho. That's Bruce Wayne's son right there
Some Birdflash panels ('cause they're a married couple and you can't change my mind)
Well, he's right but Wally, your heterosexuality has gone away (it's being away since he met Dick if we're honest)
1. Dick thinks Wally knows about his crush but he doesn't 'cause his BLIND (please someone tell this boy that his bestie is in love with him)
2. Is that a Taylor Swift reference, Dick?
Damn Dick...What an eye candy
Unexpected Gifts
Soooo... Cass and Steph are in Nightwing (2016) Issue#106. The way they are drawn is just **chef's kiss**. Although I will focus on Cass in this post.
We get so many flavors too.
1st is serious Cass, 2nd is worried Cass
3rd is a full page of action Cass,
4th we have silly Cass [while cooking]
The way she is drawn here makes her reminiscent of her mother. The strong yet beautiful features, the predator /menacing eyes, and the smile that can be interpreted as happy or happy to break you. The artist NAILED it. As this is a book we must give our thanks and appreciation to all who contributed to this.
If anyone can tell me which artist did what, you are amazing and I appreciate it. It reminds me of the recent Robin run with Damian. The art is owned by DC and the respective artists.
As if Raiden ain't the one in the wedding dress LMAO
the newest Distracted Boyfriend Meme is on a whole new level and I guess I have to do this
Dick is so dramatic here. The way he turns to the side while rubbing his eye and his other hand grabbing his legs are adorable. So docile and precious♡
Maybe this is part of the reason how Wally was able to tell off Batman/Bruce to his face later on in his life.
[ Nightwing Secret Files ]
Knowing Wally he probs doesn't care that Dick stole that sweater
Grow Up
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I SO WANNA KNOW THE BOTTOM MIDDLE ONE WHERE YAMI AND BAKURA ARE SMILING AT EACH OTHER AND DOING CHEERS~!!!!!!!
Doujinshi Collection Update
By now I have a few new doujinshi. The ones in the bottom row are all by LECHE. They all seem to be cute and sad stories, revolving mainly around Yami Bakura and his later defeat. The top left is one of Goendama’s amazing tendershipping doujinshi.
Keep reading
Sounds like a play🤣🤣
Am I need to explain?
He used a public phone pretty well tbh. With Yugi's guide he'll surely catch up with technology in no time. He's a fast learner, that Yami-boy~
well if requests are open I CAN'T RESIST! Anything Atem/Bakura i.e. darkshipping would be extremely appreciated since that ship is not so much dead as non-existent. If that is too far out your particular wheelhouse, how about Yuugi explaining youtube to a has-a-body!Atem? bc i feel Atem would be awful with anything too modern technology^^
Not sure if this is shippy enough, but here u go
He glides using those saws on his legs on Ruby Spears and now he's riding TurboMan? Metal would love ice skating~
YOU CAN'T JUST RIDE A FUCKING TRA
Ooh baby~ MetalMan and Snooker? IM SOOOOOOOO IN~!!!!!!
i started working on this in my tegaki last october, as a love letter to my experience of roleplaying from many years back. at that time i made this, i was picking up the game of 8-ball, and would hang out at my university’s game room where many others, both the experienced and inexperienced, were playing. much of what i picked up there inspired this comic. but, i’ve placed this on hold—so this is what i have of it so far!
Sounds like a fun double date~!
Dude. Guys. Look what I found in my brother’s room. I doubt we’ve ever even played it.
The fact that I even watched the movie cuz of Al Pacino makes it even better. I was screaming seeing this🤣🤣
Yugioh cast of Dave Mamet’s ‘Glengarry Glenn Ross:’
Ricky Roma - Yami Yugi
Shelly Levene - Grandpa Muto
George Aaronow - Joey Wheeler
Dave Moss - Yami Bakura
John Williamson - Ryou Bakura
James Lingk - Yugi Muto
Alec Baldwin - Seto Kaiba
(oh wow I have way too much time on my hands)
Somehow…Yami looks 100% badass and cool on that exodia frame. I love to see that on screen~
a yugioh au where instead of card games, they bowl for their lives
I never seen rivals in anime so openly go on a date~🤣🤣
I love how Kaiba’s just casually waiting outside the booth, like nbd just Seto Kaiba leaning on a fuckin’ pole.
This looks like a fuckin magazine~!🤣
They all look very cool tho😏
The best part of this relationship is that they’re hella different. He’s tall as fuck, he’s short as hell. He’s direct, he’s in denial. They mirror each other though. Yami’s violent streak, and Kaiba’s humanity. Amazing. They compliment each other. Easily the best Rivalry in all of Anime
Desperately obsessed with their dynamic and how Atem cares about Kaiba openly, but Kaiba's knee-jerk reaction to that is to get snarky.
Oho Marik, don’t ruin it for us fangirls~!! You should get back to Bakura!!
Mark looks like a father spying on his daughter’s date🤣
I guess he doesn't want them to be gay
I can’t deny he looks HOT AS FUCK in the last picture!
atem being protective of kaiba..
I HALF EXPECTED HIM TO WINK TOO AHA!!!!
Man is that thumbs up at the end cute
Episode 30, Part 2, the actual thrilling conclusion of Mai and Yami’s duel!
Now that’s Yami’s accepted his weakness and determined to face Mai without his prideful fear of losing, he gets all cocky again. Aw yeah, the king is back!
Mai’s got an almost invincible strategy in place and Yami’s got very little, so he … bluffs like crazy! It’s amazing! He’s so cocky as he tells her to attack him that she thinks he’s trying to goad her into attacking and that his face-down card is a Trap, but it isn’t!
This is actually super clever because last episode, when talking about people’s strengths and weaknesses, Mai admits she’s very cautious and can be too cautious at times. Yami has never been accused of being too cautious, I can’t imagine, so it’s nice to show the reverse; over-caution being her weakness and one of his strengths, since the whole duel is about him learning his weakness and one of her strengths (the ability to face loss gracefully).
Mai has now put together her hella awesome lesbian punk rock trio, The Harpie Ladies, and Yami manages to get in the Swords of Sealing Light before they claw him to death and eat his eyes (I presume).
Jounouchi, meanwhile, is getting tired of Anzu’s constant slut-shaming. (Seriously, she’s not too bad in this episode, but generally speaking, Anzu becomes reeeeeeally judgey in Mai’s presence.)
Oh, but it’s been a while since Yami’s come up with some utter bullshit that is no way written on these cards but is apparently an effect.
Yes. The Harpies’ Battle Pheromones, which are totally a thing, only work on monsters who are gendered male.
Yu-Gi-Oh!, I say this with my love, but that is the dumbest fucking shit I have ever heard coming from your motherfucking bullshit made-up-on-the-fly card game. There are definitely monsters that are not gendered one way or another. I would argue that Kuriboh is not gendered, but it frigging works on him so apparently he’s attracted to humanoid women WHICH IS GROSS. What else is gross? So is Summoned Skull. Know what else is gross? Now I kinda ship Dark Magician with the Harpie(s). THANKS OBAMA.
Moving on.
Yami has a moment of doubt when he needs to pull a card, but Yugi comes to help him.
It’s not spelled out on screen, but Yugi implied that he was afraid of Yami when the Kaiba thing happened and Yami reached out to him when Mai made her point, and I think this is Yugi forgiving him for being mildly murderous. And Yami is willing to ask for help, now that he sees how strong Yugi is, in his own way.
Speaking of strength. Or, more accurately, endurance.
YOU HEARD HIM LADIEEEEEZ. Kinda expected him to wink at Mai at the end of that sentence, not gonna lie…
He plays Kuriboh and Mai helpfully underlines for me why I think she’s like Kaiba.
Yep. That is a 100% Guaranteed KaibaCorp Approved Kuriboh Comment.
It all comes down to Yami’s next draw (of course, this is Yu-Gi-Oh! after all) and Yugi comes to help again, and brings the gang along with him.
Look at those cuties.
Yami enacts his dark ritual…
(This show is more occult than D&D and Harry Potter put together, where is the “Save the Children from Satanic Card Games” movement excuse me?)
… and destroys the Harpie Pet Dragon, leaving the Harpies open to destruction from his … witchcraft.
Q: Is Pegasus still behaving inappropriately towards the teenagers he lured onto his private island through coercion?
A: Oooooh!
Mai forfeits the duel because she has nothing that can beat Yami left, and she doesn’t want to watch her Harpies be destroyed. It’s a different kind of honour than Yami’s or Kaiba’s, who would always fight to the last turn and the last drop of holographic blood, no matter how inevitable the defeat, but it’s honour nonetheless, that she has such compassion for her monsters.
She walks away and doesn’t stop when Yami calls after her, until he says “Thank you”.
He’s big enough to admit his weakness and to thank her for coming down hard on him. He recognises it was done from a place of respect and that he needed to be shaken out of his fearful pride and arrogance.
Yep, I can definitely see them being firm fuckbuddies friends.
I can’t deny these tag team episodes are fucking fun as fuck. Seeing Yami and Kaiba go off on each other is hilarious. Their facial expressions makes it too~!
Episode 71, part 1, this is the worst double-date I’ve ever seen!
It is also the worst double-date Yami and Seto have ever been on. I don’t think the fact that it’s the only double-date they’ve ever been on OR the fact that it’s not actually a date would prevent either of them from characterising it as “the worst double-date I’ve ever been on”, I mean, look:
That mutual awkward boredom in both their expressions is the very essence of terrible double-dates.
And then there’s these assholes.
Yeah.
So, Yami and Seto have been forced - by a string of embarrassingly overwrought and ostentatious kidnappings - to duel Tol and Smol Ghoul on top of this incredibly high skyscraper. When someone hits 0 LP, a BOMB explodes the glass under their feet, sending them hurtling down the centre of the architecturally-impressive skyscraper to their presumed deaths. Why not just use the bomb to kill them? That would be TOO FOOLPROOF.
(I’m pretty sure Kaiba’s the only one in actual danger of dying though, since the Ghouls - spoiler alert - have an escape built in, and Yami’s Puzzle is supposed to protect him from cowardly attempts on his life. So yeah, Kaiba’s the only one. Although, that presumes that he is not able to use that ridiculous coat as a parachute, and that is obviously a very flawed presumption.)
The Ghouls - you’ll never guess this - have a THEME to their deck that matches their villain personas, and their theme is masks. Janky, janky masks…
THIS mask has bolts for eyes, which is a marginal improvement on having arms for eyes, but still lags way behind having eyes for eyes, in the eye department. It prevents Yami’s Mr Magnet (not real name) from being able to attack OR defend AND it deals 500 points of damage to Yami every turn, because it is broken.
Yami’s observing their strategy…
(Light guy is Smol) The Ghouls are playing a tight team game, where Smol plays buffs and traps and shit and Tol plays mostly monsters.
Yami can’t use Mr Masked Magnet to attack or defend, but Kaiba thinks that if he sacrifices it….
Yami, meanwhile, thinks “I have a bad feeling about this” but, if there’s one thing Yami’s better at than overdramatic posing while dueling, it’s figuring out there’s a trap and deciding the best way to deal with it is to immediately trigger it on himself, and he is REALLY good at overdramatic posing while dueling.
SO good, his jacket pales into a white sleeveless cape in shock
also #figureskatingau
Sadly, he’s also very good at triggering traps…
And obviously smarmy sausage-finger fuck-face Smol Ghoul is all “oh you ~fell for it~” like, STFU asshole, there are only like four ways to summon things in the game and sacrificing is maybe the most common, it’s not ~falling for~ your super ~cunning trap~ to just … play the fuckin game…
But yes…
… due to the effects of another very overpowered mask-themed card, Yami and Seto can no longer use sacrifices, which basically means they can’t summon any decent monsters.
They’re in a tight spot, and Yami makes his boldest move yet: attempting to reason with Seto Fucking Kaiba.
In this moment, it’s clear that Kaiba and Yami share a bond that transcends 3000 years, 9000 kilometres, and Kaiba’s own alarmingly constipated emotional defensiveness, because they understand each other perfectly.
Sadly, in the moment immediately following, it’s clear that Kaiba is an angry, emotionally constipated asshole.
SO CRANKY
SO POUTY
Okay so, Kaiba’s abysmal people-skills aside, Tol Ghoul goes to attack Kaiba and Kaiba’s in peak sass form today.
And Yami is in peak ADORABLE SUPPORTIVE BOYFRIEND FORM
ahhhhhh he’s so fuckin cute!
Especially since the Japanese for “alright!” sounds like “YUS!”
So Kaiba triggers a trap of his own, the Grenade Necklace (not real name)
Grim.
“Both players” in this case referring to opposite players, in the tag duel, so both Kaiba and Tol Ghoul.
But!
(I like the eye-segments!)
Smol Ghoul changes the target of Kaiba’s trap to affect Kaiba’s Monster instead, and Yami realises neither of the Ghouls seem to care that Tol Ghoul is open to damage from the trap either way so he tries to warn Seto…
And Seto TAKES TIME OUT OF HIS TURN to be a jerk about it.
Seto Kaiba has less than no chill.
Does this look like the face of a man with any chill?
>:D
Kaiba’s terrifying grin is quickly wiped off his face however, as Yami is proven correct…
… Tol Ghoul uses a magic card to swipe Kaiba’s own Trap Protection Flower (not real name).
So Kaiba takes the damage from and loses a monster to his own trap…
“Well, would you look at the time, it’s fuck this o clock.”
…and Tol Ghoul follows up with an attack aimed directly at the now-defenceless Kaiba, with easily enough firepower to wipe out his lifepoints and send him falling through the ceiling with only his parachute-sized coat to save him.
… This really doesn’t seem like the best way to kill a man you need to immediately take a trading card from post-defeat (remember their primary goal with Kaiba is get Obelisk) but OKAY.
Tol Ghoul launches his attack…
And Kaiba stares it down, presumably reevalutating his choices since Yami’s his only chance to avoid death and he literally just got done explicitly telling Yami to mind his own damn business
IS Kaiba finally about to die due to his own rudeness? DOES Kaiba even care or is he like “worth it”? WILL Yami be the bigger (smaller) man and bail him out? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON PHARAOHSPARKLEFISTS WATCHES YGO
“DUELISTS can sense each other”……
…………..
In Gundam we call them “NewTypes” BABY~!!!!
Episode 54, part 2, further plot!
Yami’s found out that he’s an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and Kaiba’s successfully tested his Duel Disk.
But Yami wants to keep secrets from Yugi…
WHY?
… I regret asking. T_____T
They must have a lot of control over what the other “hears”, if Yugi is able to surprise him with the “date” and Yami can keep this big of a secret!
(Also HOW IS HE SO BEAUTIFUL?!)
And now this is just needlessly confusing! I take it this is just Yami thinking about Yugi and therefore imagining him there, as characters sometimes do, and their imagination-people are semi-transparent. But it’s functionally indistinguishable from when Yugi actually manifests in ghost-form! But if it was really Yugi, he’d be able to hear Yami talking about the slab, so it can’t be.
Yami cuts himself off with a sudden “something’s up!” vibe.
“What’s with the scary little pout?”
Yami brushes it off, and then they’re distracted anyway, because an old friend shows up!
THEIR FACES.
Mai is all (whispering) “omfg a date!” and Anzu is like “omfg bitch it is not” and Yami is like…
#thisismysmalltalkface
Mai is surprised Yami hasn’t heard, she assumed he was here on purpose for the same reason as she is; there’s rumours of a big tournament about to be announced, with a cryptic messaged leaked on the internet along with this date, time and place.
… I assume this was Ishizu, since Kaiba only found out about the stone, like, yesterday or the day before. It could be either of them, because they’re both total drama nerds with a flair for ridiculous poetry, but Kaiba isn’t likely to hinge his tournament announcement on anything to do with the ~past~. So if it was Ishizu, it’s good to see she and Marik both have the same Ishtar mysterious drama instincts.
So Mai says Yami must be able to “feel it by now” and Yami says yes, this was what was causing his scary pout face from earlier:
Duelists can SENSE each other. Like the fucking card game Force or some shit. What even is this show seriously.
Yami and Mai look like the cool ones in this shot, while Anzu looks around trying to figure out what the hell they’re on about, but on the other hand, Yami and Mai are claiming to be able to ~sense~ the presence of people who enjoy trading card games and Anzu is the one being like “that is totally not a thing you dorks” so judge for yourself.
Yami and Mai are looking real well, tho. #regalshipping #theywouldhavesuchbeautifulchildren
And then this asshole shows up.
On literally all of the screens!
This moment is actually in the opening credits for this season and it makes me really giddy every time I watch it; Yami surrounded by tall buildings and the screens flickering one by one to show a smirking Kaiba.
It’s slightly less fun in the actual show because there’s less peppy music and it’s more like a real announcement and less like some crazy AU where Kaiba rules the city and Yami is a lone outlaw/hero who stands up to him and gets captured and they fall in love…
Ahem.
Kaiba outlines the two rules for entry into Battle City; you have to have a “rare card” (I have to presume cards have an actual rareness ranking) and you have to have a DUEL DISK. He also says the tournament will be played with “Battle City rules” (I have to presume these rules are made available elsewhere cause he doesn’t even give the highlights here) and the loser in each duel gets the rarest card of the winner. Not the best card, just the rarest one.
… No. That’s not true. Maybe it’s a subtitling error. The final champion will get a lot of rare cards, but, say if Yami loses to Kaiba in the final match, as Kaiba obvious wants to happen. He only has to give him Slifer (puppet-dude’s rarest card going in), he doesn’t have to give him Red Eyes (Jou’s rarest card) or even Dark Magician (his own rarest card).
And then KAIBA ACTUALLY SHOWS UP IN A HELICOPTER OMG HE IS SUCH A DRAMA KING.
I would take it as a big prideshipping moment that he immediately picks Yami out of the crowd and focuses on him, but let’s face it, that hair would get anyone noticed first.
Also, good thing Yami happened to be walking past! I mean, he did show up, but not on purpose! Poor Kaiba would have been so fucking annoyed!
(Can you imagine him restaging the whole announcement two hours later at the Game Shop, complete with floodlights and helicopters. DUEL ME YUGI.)
Mmmmmmmmmm.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Look at them! They’re so intensely focused on each other!
… So, quick question. Where the fuck is the camera that’s recording the live footage of Kaiba? It must be on one of those buildings. That helicopter has to hover really still in exactly the right place and that camera must have a hell of a zoom function. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES HE SPEND ON THIS?!
And meanwhile…
Marik hears about the tournament in his … weird purple cloud room … with hovering blue flame light fixtures … and beautiful sturdy wood furniture. What is even happening?
The rare hunters call him “Marik-sama” which is translated in the subtitles to “Master Marik” even though all the other honorific suffixes have been left as-is in the subtitles, including the duel scientists calling Kaiba “Seto-sama” earlier in this very episode!
… What? Domino City was not already your target?! You’d already figured out Mr Nameless Pharaoh was probably living in Yugi Mutou’s head! You should already have booked your … boat trip, I guess, to Domino!
But he is really pretty. And, like, 16. Probably he wouldn’t be in charge of a global consortium of card thieves at all if he didn’t have a mind-control stick!
The way I see it…Even when he’s saying ‘I even implemented his annoying personality’ something like that……
I just knew he like him. HE DEFINITELY DID. THERE’S NO WAY. NO DAMN WAY….THAT HE HATE HIM. NO…..NO OUNCE OF HATE AT ALL WHEN HE SAY THAT!!!!
No such thing. The ship definitely sails itself~
DSOD Review Art (2) : Korean-Dubbed Kaiba Gets 20% More ROMANTIC
※ Removed actual spoilers! :-)
I’m really satisfied by, even so proud of, the Korean dub of Yugioh 《The Dark Side of Dimensions》! The translation is 99.7% accurate compared to the Japanese original version. (The mistrans of ‘Planners’ into ‘Plana’ accounts for the remaining 0.3%, though) And all the voice acting veterans do sincerely a stellar job, making me feel as though the movie was filmed right here in South Korea! Kim Hyun-Wook voicing Aigami is especially noteworthy; he’s only 24 years old but in DSOD, he sounds like he’s been in this business for 30 years 8-D
They should release the DVD and Blu-ray so that Yugioh fans outside South Korea can get access to this wonderful dub :-)
But that’s not all,
It’s predictable that both the way they translate the original script and the way the voice actors do their characters reflect what they think of the characters, and….
….. it seems 200000% obvious the Korean dub team for DSOD actually meant it : making Seto Kaiba look like he’s stuck in legit 20% PURER & MORE ROMANTIC ORPHEAN LOVE with Yami Yugi…..
In the dubbed movie, one of Seto’s lines reminiscing Yami Yugi is like, in Korean :
“그래, 덱의 구성, 작전 구성, 그리고 은근슬쩍 사람의 신경을 긁는 얄미운 태도까지…..”
In that text, the Korean adjective “얄밉다” is EXTREMELY important;
It basically means ‘annoying’, which is what his Japanese original quote intended to, but the Korean word “얄밉다” also means “annoying, but in an acceptable, CUTE, ADORABLE way”….
…..which leads to the impression that Yami Yugi was “ADORABLE” for Kaiba.
Therefore, it sounded like :
