It's Too Early For Art To Be Making Me Cry :(

It's too early for art to be making me cry :(

“Jounouchi is……”

“Yugi, what is something you can show but can’t see.”

As a hyper and pan person, having the ability to have hypersexual thoughts about nearly anyone is not as hyped as it is portrayed to be. I sometimes envy aspec people/lh. For people like me, constant obsession over sex can cause feelings of loneliness, depression, and suicidal feelings. And telling an aspec person that not wanting sex is wrong, or using 'virgin' as an insult, is completely shitty to me. Because it makes (at least I'm assuming) them feel lie there's something wrong with them and there ISN'T. Someone's sex life, active or not, shouldn't matter to anyone else but that person. There's nothing wrong with loving sex. There's nothing wrong with not liking sex. But people shame either way. You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. Sad ahh world... 😔

M'LORD M'LORD PEOPLE ARE ASSUMING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE REVOLVES AROUND SEX AGAIN

The tags on this are fuckin hilarious

But I'd also like to add some other stuff...

If, by any chance, in any au, the only person he is willing to trust with his problems and burdens is Mokuba, then that could branch off in some sort of therapy. Think about it, sure, Mokuba wouldn't be a licensed therapist, but I feel like if the two brothers just sit down and vent to each other about their shared (and unshared) trauma, then that's the closest to therapy we could get for Kaiba and Mokuba.

Seto's been betrayed by the system and adults within the system from his childhood, and therapy for a CEO in the mid-90s and early-00s in Japan wouldn't have seemed like the solution it does now -- there was a kind of taboo to mental illness and struggles as it was expected to be kept private, within the family, and could very much be seen as a sign of poor willpower (the West absolutely has issues with the way mental illness and trauma are viewed as well, and no culture or time period is a monolith, but I feel it's worth considering for my personal view of canon and the characters).

Adult therapists are human beings too, prone to biases, flawed, with limited viewpoints like all people. And it's strange how people say we should be wary of those in authority, but suddenly when it comes to therapists we ignore how therapists can make mistakes or sometimes even abuse their power. (Absolutely not all therapists -- but this is in the context of Seto Kaiba and his life, and I do know the reality of therapists making mistakes with their clients.)

For me, the situation Seto's been placed into and the reality of it, and how turning to others seems so weak and self-defeating to him (and to many others) and how it does have a real double-edged blade, are part of having compassion for how much he mentally tears himself apart.

Having read some of KT's ideas behind how he wrote YGO, and noticing the repeated themes within it of how duty and expectation can destroy people even as it binds them to the people they love, I have to take note of how exception and duty and the "need" to be strong and self-reliant are written into Seto's character and what his story is saying to us. I think pretending the answer and road for Seto to good mental health was actually easy and right there the whole time does a disservice to his struggle, which I don't feel fans who want him in therapy believe BUT I have seen people abandon their compassion because they felt the struggle with trauma and mental health had an easy and universal solution in therapy and that, indeed, people still struggling are weak.

Fr also this is hella cool bro looks genuinely pissed 💀🙏
