MY YUGIOH OC- Nirvana Donoma!!! I Have Fallen Into A Deep Hole Of Yugioh Again And I Have Been Compelled

MY YUGIOH OC- Nirvana Donoma!!! I have fallen into a deep hole of Yugioh again and I have been compelled to share my lil reckless girl!!! Nirvana Donoma is one of Yugi’s besties(after Jounochi ofc, she knows her place). She is a part of the Donoma Family whose tied into Atem’s history where they are given the ability to see ghosts! I hope I’ll be able to post more about her but in the meantime- ENJOY

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.

You're great!

I'm so glad you're still here, doing your best. People can see you putting in the effort and valuing your strength. We're rooting for you!

When you feel you can't keep up, don't forget to be gentle with yourself and ask for help. There will always be someone there willing to give you a hand.

You deserve the most beautiful things in life because you're a beautiful person, too.

Take the time to love yourself and the world around you.

I'm wishing you the best in the world, and I love you because you are a being worthy of love.

Good luck!

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

you can't be cringe if you have the confidence to back you up
