I HALF EXPECTED HIM TO WINK TOO AHA!!!!

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!

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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).

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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).

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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.

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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. 

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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.

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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.

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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.

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

Look at those cuties.

Yami enacts his dark ritual…

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

(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?

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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”.

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

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.

Episode 30, Part 2, The Actual Thrilling Conclusion Of Mai And Yami’s Duel!

Yep, I can definitely see them being firm fuckbuddies friends.

This is how I feel about Dirty Harry. These criminals always seem to take something from him. The altar...That's my fantasy man

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually

I’ve been thinking about this. He’s way scarier than any villain in Yugioh. God does Dan Green has a gifted voice that sounded so heroic yet terrifying at the same time

He voices Mephiles, the only Sonic villain that successfully kills Sonic. And he came from the ever-so-shitty Sonic 06 as well. If people haven’t got on Yami’s good side who knows what he might do. Maybe be like Mephiles

Kaiba’s lucky Yami’s been tolerating all his shit or not he would’ve killed him on the spot. That lucky son of a bitch

As much as I love S0 Yami, I have a soft spot for the Yami now. His willingness to open his heart for other people, to trust….is just fucking amazing. And the way humanity shines through him as the series goes on…

As horrible as he could be I forgive him. I know. It’s insane. But I can’t take it back.

You know when i first saw s0 Yami, especially manga Yami, I thought “A dark hero with questionable morality, cool!” But looking deeper, the way he so childishly calls the pentalty games, sending souls to an equivalent to Hell an x-game. Comparing it to a COMEDY GAME AND GRINNING GLEEFULLY . Not to mention the fire maze in particular, he’s a game master, and the poor gang members are just rats in need of exterminating.

He’s worse than Marik, he’s worse than even Zorc, because they are evil because they are born from hate, they know no kindness. But Yami DOES, and he knows exactly what he’s doing when playing those games. Not to mention his human, seemingly weak appearance fools every one of his ‘players’. He thinks eternal suffering is JUSTIFIED for crimes that seem petty in comparison. And he cleans up. No one’s come knocking on Yuugi’s door about a burnt corpse or insane patients.

I mean, think about it. If he didn’t go back into the puzzle, if he hadn’t met Yugi or grown close with Anzu and the others. He could easily kill anyone who crossed his path, but plays the games to test them, prolonging their fate. In the name of justice. And THAT’S why there are monstrous leaders in the world, they kill millions in the name of what they believe is right.

Forget torrents of destructive power, he’d pick them off like ants, one by one, leaving only pure hearted. And with the human nature, that’s almost zero of all humans out there. And no one would even know because they would forget they ever existed, or there was simply no trace.

And that, is why Yami no Yuugi terrifies me.

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.

If Death and Puss fuse together

Yo so I love your ygo cat au! But I'm wondering do you have a season 0!YamiYugi for your cat au?

a lot of people ask why I don’t have a yami yugi cat and that’s because through a lot of arguing and timey-wimey shenanigans, I’m convinced he and pharaoh atem are the same person/identity, just different bodies.

however, that said, season 0 yami yugi on the other hand….

he’s a brand all his own.

This post just make me love Will even more~!💕💕

IMAGINE if there was a betazoid officer on the bridge. The poor thing would have to be subjected to onslaughts of emotions, most of them coming from the captain and his first officer. Because you don’t have to be a betazoid to know that those two are ridiculously in love. painfully obvious.

Deanna gets overwhelmed when there are too much feelings of stress, anger, sadness, or anything negative. She feels happy when everyone else is happy around her.

So imagine what this hypothetical betazoid would feel, when Kirk is emitting strong emotions of confidence, happiness, and excitement almost all the time on the bridge. The feelings of being proud of his bridge crew…

I LOVE SPOCK I LOVE SPOCK I LOVE SPOCK I LOVE SPOCK I LO— 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙💜💜💜🖤💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛

And then spock looks at him with an eyebrow raised, hands behind his back.

Jim :)

this poor betazoid would be exhausted hearing that all of the time and not being able to do anything about it. And they would go to Bones, and say something like,

“Those two drive me nuts.”

And Bones would say, “ugh, tell me about it.”

You get me so bad. I love it more than I do the second and the third

The main title in "A fistful of dollars" is legit my favourite one of the trilogy. I like it maybe even more than "the good, the bad and the ugly" score. It's just... So simple and one of the greatest testaments of Ennio Morricone's génius ever displayed.

One of my favourite things about it is the simplicity. It uses just things that people would have available in the wild west, which I feel makes the real difference in building the atmosphere.

The wind – obviously you cannot use as an instrument, so, to imitate the howling of the wind over the wide, bare dessert, he uses violin (and later other string instruments)

Whistling – which, obviously, cowboys were able to do

Bells ringing – like the ones in a church, the clinking also reminds me of spurs (obviously you can't use spurs as an instruments, so something that's also shiny, clinking and metal comes to play – the bells)

Whips cracking – which, many people had to have whips on the wild west

Male chorus – [see whistling above]

Acoustic guitar – is there to essentially string (ha) the melody together. Pretty much the only instrument used that doesn't symbolise something else, and thus the music theme is built around it.

[in a few parts of the soundtrack, instead of acoustic guitar is used the electric one = I love Ennio Morricone so much :D]
