I LOVE this picture of him~!!!
Those eyes, I could stare at them forever~
The Man with No Name
He's so ravishing in the third movie omg. I might just watch this again just for him~!
Blondie´s Fashion
I really like Blondie´s style at the beginning of TGTBTU. The look with the long coat, the chic dark blue shirt and the black scarf is as well manly and fashionable.
Him doing something like this are the best part of any movie in the series. Oh Clint~
This always makes me lose it bc there was no need for allat
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.
In that Man From Uncle episode when they were together at the party, Lenny meets Will for the first time and Will says,”Baby you want a taste?” Teasingly as he showed his wine XD
apologies for the terrible video quality but i NEED y'all fellow Spirk enjoyers to see this freakin' blooper
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.
Photo came out so good it looks like a literal painting
Movie still of Clint Eastwood in “ A Fistful of Dollars”
God bless you Pegasus~🤣🤣
If that ain’t a Prideshipper’s speech…
I COULDNT AGREE MORE ON 6.
Yami’s so peaceful there,it’s so great.He’s clearly having fun and I love it.I mean, we always see duels involving kidnaps and threats but for the first time ever,he’s happy~
God bless Kazuki Takahashi.There’s no one like you in the whole world
I present to you: my observations regarding Atem and Yugi's relationship, with a few head cannons mixed in. I intend to add to this as I please.
Whenever the two of them are conversing in Yugi's mind or next to each other for whatever reason in the anime, Atem's body is almost always facing Yugi's. Even when his head is turned forwards, Yugi is for the most part always in his peripheral vision. The main exceptions to these are when Atem's already facing Yugi or when he knows he's safe.
I have a head cannon that at the end of the day, the pair discuss what happened over the course of that day. Like if Yugi spent a lot of time studying for a test, Yami would reassure him that he would pass. Or if they met a little fan, they would talk about how cute the child was or something along those margins.
When Atem duels, we don't see a lot of Yugi. He shows up in the more important duels, but for the most part he lets Yami do his thing. On the contrary, when Yugi duels Yami is by his side the entire time. Encouraging him, giving compliments on his better plays, occasionally offering advice. During the final duel, Yami also complimented Yugi on his best plays.
Yami is really good at giving compliments in general. Another of my head cannons is that Yami learned this behavior to compensate for Yugi's lack of self-esteem, and it eventually leaked over into the rest of his shared life.
Yugi really stepped into his bravery and courage when he was faced with helping Yami. It was one of the first times he faced something without the other him, but he stepped into the role without question and dueled Yami Bakura with determination.
During the final duel, we see a lot of Atem being surprised over Yugi's strength. It's the first time he directly sees just how strong his aibou really is. But, he also is a lot nicer to Yugi than in any of his other duels. Sure, the yelling is there, but the worst thing he says is "well done, but it's not good enough!" Or something along those lines. That's in comparison to most of his other duels, where he mildly taunts his opponent and often yells "you're wrong!"
Atem is used to fighting Yugi's battles. He always stepped up during duels and when Yugi was in danger. I have a head canon that this is why Atem was so surprised when Seto and Mahad and the other members of the council told him to stay back and let them fight.
Yugi doesn't really stand up for himself at all, at least not that I can remember. But, during the final duel, he does. He yells at kaiba for leaving before the duel was over. Atem told Yugi that he was proud of him for standing up for himself. I don't know why I find that so cute, but I do.
Another thing from the final duel: I honestly love how Yami could tell what Yugi was thinking, even though they weren't sharing a body at that point in time. He noticed that Yugi was doubting himself, and gave his aibou a pep talk. And then Atem proceeded to look very pleased that his pep talk worked.
And now, my stuff from dark side of dimensions: the one time Yugi said he always misses Atem has to be on here, it wouldn't be a proper list without it.
During that movie, I also noticed that Yugi learned a lot more from Atem than just bravery and self-love. He incorporated a lot of his dueling strategies in his duels, and the way he interacted with other characters (but mostly kaiba) was a lot like Atem.
And then, you know, Atem showing up just when Yugi passes out. Some might argue that this is just Atem showing up when he's needed, but I'm choosing to focus on the fact that he was a no-show until Yugi was physically hurt.
Notice how distraught Yami is whenever he thinks Yugi is gone forever? First in their duel against Pegasus, and then after Yugi's soul is taken by the orichalcos. When Yugi's other Friends get hurt, Atem is obviously upset, but he can still keep it together. He stays calm and level-headed, and then wins the next duel to save the person in danger. But when Yugi disappears, Yami panics and makes rather rash and hurried moves. He still manages to win, because plot armor, but you can tell that it wasn't his A game. He also gets angry and takes it out on different people, such as weeble.
Atem is also the only Yami who genuinely cares about his host. As #13 states, he gets upset when Yugi is gone, whereas all the other Yamis would be overjoyed to get rid of their host. That one is kind of obvious, but I left it out at the beginning so I'm putting here.
This image right here. The fact that Yami is standing in front of Yugi protectively.(it's kinda interesting that he laid him down face first into whatever their head is made of, like Téa at least held him up, but shhhhhh)
16. From what I remember, Yami doubts himself (thinking he isn't worth it, tearing himself down) twice in the series(tell me if I missed anything though). During the seal of orichalcos business after Yugi's soul got taken away, and when Yugi was passed out or whatever happened to him during the duel against Pegasus. Notice a pattern here...?
17. I HAVEN'T DONE ATEM'S COPING MECHANISMS YET? WHAT KIND OF A FAN AM I??? *Deep breath* ok. Remember when Joey was hurt? It was the battle city arc(I forget what was ailing him...did he get locked in the shadow realm?). Yami punches the wall in rage and then decides to defeat Marik. But when Yugi is gone, Atem just loses it. He cries for the first and only time, he blames himself entirely (it was totally his fault though) and that whole "it's all my fault" causes him to lose hope. He didn't want to keep going until Joey knocks some sense into him. Literally. He mercilessly attacks weevil(not that he didn't deserve it) and we get a taste of that season zero Yami(but less gremlin like). He is a MESS. That got off topic fast....my point is that when it isn't Yugi in danger, Atem seeks revenge. When it IS Yugi in danger, Yami loses his mind and doesn't want to keep going and feels many intense emotions he's never felt before.
Honestly,they’re the only people that I don’t know who to root for in a rivalry.They’re just that good
I don’t remember saying that Char line lmaoooo
thinkin about how kaiba's last-but-one appearance in the ygo dm manga is this "unbothered. moisturized. happy. in my lane. focused. flourishing." kaiba, like he'd still like to ever win against yugi & atem but it's not chapping his ass anymore
but then in DSoD he gets Weird About It again. which to me definitely suggests it is Not about winning as much as it is about his #1 bestest rival is like DEAD dead. not like "oh he died i guess but he's a friendly ghost & you can hang out with him" but like dead dead.
cuz if that was not a factor, he would not be happy smiley "i'm gonna make blue eyes white carousels to make children happy :)" kaiba here & go totally to pieces 7 months later, right?
