How am I 99.99% sure this is how it went down and I haven’t even seen the movie? I feel it in my soul.

When the AI meets the real Atem, Kaiba’s dream comes true 😂

Keychains are here! Keychains are here!!!

First time printing keychains so the quality is not up to my expectation, so I have to apologize to everyone, The print on the keychain is a little bit blurry, so not very high quality. SO, the pricing will only be $10, and not $12 like the original plan. Orders will open in August.

Again, I’m so sorry =(

Edit: Apparently the “blurry" is keychain’s standard quality. I just compared it to COSPA’s goods (they’re too good) and assumed it was low quality.

I feel stupid…

Real Talk

If you see any post from bou-kaiba, DO NOT LIKE OR REBLOG IT. They’re constantly reposting pictures from others with no permission and don’t properly source the image. If called out, they’ll ignore you, delete your message, and block you. I’d hate to do anything like a “callout,” but I’m getting really tired of this behavior.

A Very Merry (Scandal|Pride)shipping Fanworks Rec

Part two of my response on a post yesterday (part one was Sealshipping: [X]). I think I’ll have better luck with these two ships because they’ve been popular ships for a long time, even before Mahad was introduced.

So, here’s me cracking my knuckles and starting.

Btw, there is a lot of works about Prideshipping in general, and with DSOD it multiplied. So as a challenge, I’m focusing on the ones that do not have smut of any kind. If there is, it’s just a teensy weensy amount.

I haven’t found much fics of Scandalshipping, usually the ones I find have some Prideshipping mixed in, which is why I combined it into one list.

In terms of art, there’s a lot of ‘em (for both ships), so I won’t focus on that much. You can easily search for them. Pixiv will be your friend.

Fanfiction

Stepping Stones by evexe-n (manatsuko) and rowanthestrange_yugihell - It’s a fic series that features both Scandalshipping and Prideshipping. It’s the kind of series you want to read when you want fluff and humor with just a few pinches of feels.

Not The End by Prismatic Bell (Nina_Dances_In_Technicolor) - A post-DSOD Prideshipping fic that is a must read after you watch the movie. Because yes. Yes. You will not only love Atem and Kaiba, but also Mokuba, Mahad, Mana, and all the characters except that one KC employee who insists on adding boobies on every game. Kaiba’s dry wit is one of my favorites here. Also, this story will punch you emotionally.

Smoke and Mirrors by FloaromaMeadow - So how about we take DSOD and make it even sadder. Bonus points for Kaiba making dead jokes and Atem not being amused.

Our Fairly Modest Just A Few Close Friends Ancient Egyptian Wedding by rowanthestrange_yugihell - A feel good post-DSOD Prideshipping fic. They get married and there is no explanation on how a bunch of Ancient Egyptians were able to stop being dead to attend a wedding, probably Kaiba’s sheer force of will in screwing the rules.

In the Shadow of the Pillars by zuzeca - I like the fact that Atem punches Kaiba in the gut. I also like how the writer tackled reincarnation here. It features more pairings besides Scandalshipping and Prideshipping but they all blend so well.

Stocks by TunaFax - Kaiba is canonically an asshole but we will never get tired of it because seeing written word of his assholery is a gift from the heavens. Here’s one more fic that showcases this. Plus points for making Yuugi a bit of an asshole too.

Getting Rivalzoned (And Learning To Live With It) by oogenesis (vriskacircuit) - The premise is unrequited Prideshipping and is 80% hilarious and 20% feels.

Sunday Get-Together by Deck Divination (astralpath) - AU in that Gozaburo is still alive and Kaiba is dating to spite him.

A Spirited Challenge by Sparklefists - A supernatural AU featuring Kaiba’s intense skepticism over the supernatural despite playing chess with a supernatural being several times.

Ma'at’s Executioner by Iced Blood - Very Season Zero, probably more Season Zero than Season Zero itself, something rare in most YGO fics. A little OOC since this is post-Duelist Kingdom and this is the time Yami vowed not to be season zero. I still approve. It’s more platonic than romantic.

The Gambler’s Debts by Iced Blood - Has a Season Zero feel to it. I love the conversation between Yami and Kaiba, it felt like reading a conversation between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice. Except this Hannibal is less violent (usually) and less cannibalistic, and the Clarice is more vicious. This is one of the fics where I approve of the “Call me Yami” trope because it gives an explanation that is wonderfully tied in canon. This is also platonic.

Comics

Sirius by S-FLAME, translation by @drummerdancerficsandpics​ - Post-DSOD doujinshi. Very lovely art.

Stay Gold by S-FLAME, translation by @drummerdancerficsandpics​ - Post-DSOD doujinshi again, continues to the last scene of the movie.

(drummerdancer has plenty of YGO doujinshi translations so check out their blog!)

Code to Kaiba’s Heart by voyagehour - All of their expressions are gold, Yuugi is a sweetheart and Atem is a petulant spiritchild.

There’s a short one that I liked but I can’t find it. :(

Blogs!

There are a lot for Prideshipping, don’t know with Scandalshipping though. But usually a Prideshipper has a 50/50 chance of being a Scandalshipper too. So I’ll just put on the ones I frequently stalk like a creep check out during my spare time.

@aminotvxq​ - Has amazing art? In general? I am very envy of the anatomy, and the muscles.

@evexe-n​ - Has good fics that I discovered because of my DSOD craving. I stalk the blog for fics and fic discussions and hilarious ygo posts tbh

@yugihell​ - ^^^^^^^^^ see above. Also, your tags crack me up.

@prismatic-bell​ - I love your fic it still clenches my heart.

@emmyfais​ - Probably knows more places to Prideship to your heart’s galore.

Have some posts

also never forgetting @purpuara‘s amazing comics 💕
