Yu Gi Oh Is A Story Of Grieving. Of Understanding That Nothing Is Eternal Or Immortal. Of Accepting That

Yu Gi Oh is a story of grieving. Of understanding that nothing is eternal or immortal. Of accepting that a goodbye always ends up coming, but that it doesn't have to be a fatality or the end of the world, even if it hurts.

Behind it's façade of "card games manga", it dealt with themes that are often, voluntary or not, hidden in children's media, despite being realities any person can end up living.

If today, countless of people learned how to continue walking even after a loss, it's a bit thanks to you Kazuki Takahashi.

Thank you, and may you rest in peace.

Please help!!!

July 15 2022

My roommate and I are homeless disabled and trans, we have exhausted all resources, and we are barely getting by. Please consider helping two trans disabled ppl this disability pride month! We are still recovering from severe long term mold exposure from a v mold infested hotel.

We got booked and checked in at the new BnB.

I now really need to raise money for an oral surgery as I desperately need 3 teeth removed. It's very dangerous, the abscesses go into my sinuses, and it's lethal if untreated. I need antibiotics and frequent checkups till surgery.

I have been reffered to a hospital very close to where we are now for my surgery. They will be able to handle my care more safely and faster. This makes it important that we are able to stay in this area and get money for the surgery asap.

We need to extend our stay here, closer to the hospital and more resources. It is $109 a night, and any help would be incredibly appreciated.

Also my roomates sketchbook needs to be replaced bc it was stolen and he needs it to do pet drawings which he'd been doing for "dough nations"

Goal for medical care: $0/$3,500

Goal for housing: $0/$700

Ayo wait……. OP you are on to smth rn

listen to me for a second

we never see Atem's Ka

he summons the gods, but those are def not his Ka, because his dad could summon those before him, there's 3 of them, they're in slabs, etc. a superweapon but not his personal weapon. no it is not Horakhty either because you still need all three gods for that

he can summon other stuff from the slabs, i.e. other people's Ka, but he never summons his own even in dire straits (even though nearly all the other priests do)

in Kul Elna after Bakura has stolen the puzzlependant and he therefore is totally cut off from the slabs, he still never summons his own even while actively dying. Mahad has to show up and save his ass

that's weird, right? that he never even tries? it's weird!

and then I am thinking about how powerful Ka are connected to one's will to live (and Atem's apparent suicidality)

and how firmly they are representative of individual will and personality (and Atem's tendency to squeeze himself into the image of what everyone expects from him and alienating his own wants and personhood)

hey so what if Atem like

couldn't summon his own Ka?

ever at all?

that this is an act of self-actualization he just never managed in life?

it would be sort of embarrassing, sure, if the pharaoh couldn't summon his own Ka, but I don't think it would be shocking or implausible; Atem is very young, Mana can't even see them for most of the story, it's obviously considered very high-level magic

literally Atem who couldn't tell you what he's actually like if you put a gun to his head and so he defends himself by borrowing from everyone else

picturing a weedy young Atem at the training grounds, who still hasn't grown into his crown or his pendant, who can tame whatever monster you ask him to, clever enough to win every match, excels so well he'll have the gods in no time; but he goes through slabs faster than workers can carve them, and every time Mahad or Siamun say "Very good, but what about yours?" he doesn't know how to answer

This is so cute!!!

So i redraw this screencap

I can never thank you enough for all the good things your work has brought, the bonds and the fun in the story reflected on us and changed the lives of many. I know I wouldn’t have done half of the things I did in the past years if it weren’t for the adventure, art and characters you created and the passion and love you showed for your creations.

I, like thousands upon thousands of fans, have made so many new friends and met so many incredible and talented people thanks to you and I’ll forever be grateful to you for that.

 Rest in peace Sensei.⭐
