Can I have sad mokuba headcanons?

Oh sure anon here’s some

- for nearly everyone Mokuba is the youngest Kaiba brother, the Vice President of Kaiba Corp, Seto’s little shadow. Virtually anyone knows him only in relation to his brother, “that is Seto Kaiba and that is his younger brother, who is not as smart or ruthless or imposing as him, who is probably only the Vice President because Seto didn’t trust anyone else”. It’s not that Mokuba is jealous of Seto, he knows everything Seto went though to get where he is and he does not envy that one bit, and most of the time it’s pretty convenient when people underestimate you as just one random kid, but that doesn’t mean Mokuba would also like to be known as the person he is, without references to his brother

- Mokuba gets nightmares sometimes. It’s pretty hard not to when you’ve been through all the stuff he has in his childhood. Sometimes it’s Seto being comatose again, sometimes it’s Gozaburo looking down at him and telling him he’d be sent back without Seto if he didn’t behave, sometimes it’s people he can barely recognize dropping them off in front of the orphanage and the knowledge that he was abandoned. And sometimes it’s Shadow Games, it’s Pegasus’s eye, it’s all the crazy and terrifying things Mokuba saw. Seto will comfort him, if Mokuba goes to him. But Mokuba knows how Seto doesn’t like to talk about the past and what happened to them, and despite what Seto might tell him, Mokuba doesn’t want to look weak in front of him, he doesn’t want to be too reliant or childish, because there’s always that tiny voice telling him that Seto won’t be happy if Mokuba is weak. Sometimes he will be upset enough that the tiny voice shuts up and Mokuba will look for his brother for help. But he also learnt how to pretend he has a bit of insomnia, like Seto does, and at those hours of the night Seto is usually too tired himself to notice it if Mokuba acts a bit off

- back when Gozaburo was alive, both brothers had to learn how to sneak around the house if they didn’t want trouble. Mokuba still remembers exactly how to get around with minimal noise and avoiding the security there was in the building. He doesn’t need to go unnoticed anymore, but sometimes he goes to get a snack and realizes halfway that he’s walking on his toes, or taking a route longer than what is necessary but which will avoid the creaking floor. He still keeps things hidden under his bed, knowing full well no one would even dream of taking his possessions away as punishment anymore, but he just feels safer keeping them there

Malik Ishtar + Health Problems

So, I’ve been thinking about Malik’s past for character analysis reasons lately, and I’ve come to the conclusion that Malik is actually, like….super, super fucking unhealthy.

I’m no medical expert, but I fucking love health and anatomy. After a lot research, and even picking the brains of some of my own doctors, I’ve determined it is likely Malik has sleep disorders, various vitamin deficiencies, and frankly, is very lucky to not have died as a child.

Everyone needs sunlight. Vitamin D is produced by the body in response to your skin being exposed to sunlight, and it is very important for your body.

Having been in the tombs until his teenage years, Malik would obviously not have gotten much sunlight. Even with the skylights/shafts we see in the manga and anime, it’s not enough sunlight to survive on. The average American does not get enough sunlight/vitamin D even accounting for our obsession with Pokemon Go, so it’s unlikely that Malik would have enough when he is literally trapped in an underground cult.

So let’s talk about underground cults! As it just so happens, back in 2012, an underground cult was found by Russian Police in the Republic of Tatarstan. For those of you wondering if I just made that place up because, yes, I realize it sounds like a fictional area named after tarter sauce… It exists [Source], I promise.

Even better, Slate and Earthwire writer Brian Palmer practically did all the research for me about children who live without seeing the sun for most of their lives. So rather than reword his research and risk plagiarism, here’s some quotes:

“Children are more vulnerable than adults to vitamin D deficiency, making death from darkness somewhat more plausible. The most obvious risk is rickets, a disease that results in malformed bones and teeth. In its extreme forms, the grisly disease can lead to other health issues like breathing irregularities and cardiovascular problems.”
“Sunlight helps trigger the body’s daily cycle of serotonin, for example. If that production cycle becomes irregular, you can suffer problems with sleep and mood.”
“Some pediatric researchers believe that rickets might be a factor in some cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.”

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is controversial in that no one really knows the exact cause. Sometimes children just… die. Randomly. Suddenly. If vitamin D deficiencies and/or rickets really is the cause, Malik dodged a medical bullet.

Now, vitamin D deficiencies are caused by two other factors besides lack of sunlight:

  1. Vegan diets
  2. Dark skin

Malik obviously has darker skin, which is a risk factor for vitamin D deficiency right off the bat. Now, no one but our Lord and Savior Kazuki Takahashi can confirm Malik’s dietary choices, but he made it clear in The Gospel of Truth that Malik hates “meat in general” [Source], so it’s likely he’s either vegetarian, which would be okay for him, or vegan… in which case he is killing himself.

See, vitamin D is not just found in sunlight. It is also found in [some] fish, fish liver oils, egg yolks, fortified dairy and grain products. All of those, with exception of grain, are banned from a vegan diet. Combined with a lack of vitamin D from right of the womb, if he has a elected to be vegan, it’s likely he has soft, even brittle bones. So next time you write Ryou Bakura as a weakling, remember it’s possible that Malik that can’t throw a punch without his radius and ulna shattering.

Malik would also possibly have asthma as child, and given the extreme circumstances of his case, it could last well into adulthood. Vitamin D deficiencies can also be responsible for various cancers.

Honestly? There are so many points I have skimmed over due to lack of accessible evidence, but I’d like to mention that because of his sudden, prolonged exposure to sunlight coming out of the tombs for the first time, he may have damaged his sight permanently. In fact, his eyesight could deteriorate slowly but steadily for the rest of his life. He could develop cataracts early in his life as well. But that’s according to my personal optometrist, and Google wasn’t helping me find reliable articles on the subject, so…

By the way, this would apply to Isis and Rishid too. Just focusing on Malik cause he’s the one I’m profiling right now.

And that concludes my depressing contribution to this fandom.

Since I made a post about Marik’s possible health problems due to vitamin D deficiency, I was pointed out this post that covers what issues he would realistically have if he indeed didn’t have access to proper sunlight/supplements. I think it’s pretty interesting and by god I hope this boy eats his fish

But if Marik wasn’t allowed to leave the tombs as a kid and I can’t really remember those places allowing a lot of natural sunlight to come in shouldn’t he have suffered from some terrible lack of vitamin D

Isis and Rishid couldn’t really go around a lot either but maybe they could go every once in a while Marik instead had to stay in near darkness most of the time

Lack of vitamin D in kids means your bones don’t form correctly so in the future Marik could have ended up with a lot of issues because of that

There had to have been some sort of trade going on between the Ishtars and the outside world, so my only theory on this would be supplements. Maybe fish oil capsules. 

It’s possible, but I’m still not sure it would be enough. You can in theory get enough vitamin D with supplements but if we consider all those people living in near constant darkness that’s a lot of supplements you’d need to cover everyone’s needs. It’s possible Marik would get a privileged treatment since he is the heir and all, but I’m still not sure they would be able to cover completely the amount of vitamin D he would need

Those are some angsty Season 0 headcanons, what about some silly Season 0 headcanons. Like with S0!Yami?

Ok I do headcanon that back when Yugi first completed the Puzzle and Yami didn’t exactly know he was a separate entity from Yugi sometimes he sort of messed up a bit with the possession thing. Like maybe after he was done murdering whoever had pissed him off that time he kept hanging around in Yugi’s body because he was a bit confused about himself in general and on how to go back in the Puzzle.

So I like to imagine sometimes you had Yami just go on carrying daily tasks Yugi did all the while being sort of confused about it but he couldn’t quite pinpoint why, after all he was Yugi, right? Why was brushing his teeth so complicated all of a sudden he had done it thousands of time before why was he having troubles now?

And mom Mutou poking her head in her son’s room and telling him it was time to go to sleep, what was he still doing awake, goodnight Yugi, without noticing she had just scolded the thousand years old vengeful spirit her son had awoken, which promptly did as told and went to bed because he might be darkness incarnate but if mom tells you to go to bed you go to bed

Since were talking about Season 0 I have headcanon that sort explains (but doesn't apologize I hope) why Ushio did all those shitty things ie his father was abusive alcoholist and his mom was workaholic and I don't know I kinda want to see your opinion??

Well I suppose having a messed up home could explain why he was that way. Could be

Who wants to talk about Season 0 headcanons and stuff :3 ?

What headcanons do you prefer the silly stuff or the angsty kind

For example, I headcanon that in the early days of their friendship Jou was going out of his way to try and show Yugi that he was completely done with the bullying business, that they were buddies now.

Only Jou’s idea was being friends with someone was like, the bro kind of friendship, with slaps on the back and playful fighting and that kind of stuff. But like he couldn’t just go and slap Yugi on the back because that wouldn’t be a good way to make friends with someone he used to bully, right? And you can’t just go and tell another dude you like him or something, cause that would be gay, and Jou couldn’t do that.

So there was a lot of awkwardness on Jou’s side where he was like, trying to be really really supportive of Yugi with like constant high fives and thumbs up but also trying not to show too much affection, balance it out, make it obvious that he thought Yugi was neat but also not too much, y’know? And avoid the physical contact cause he didn’t want to hurt Yugi accidentally but also Jou was a very touchy person so there were a lot of moments when he just awkwardly put one hand on Yugi’s shoulder and stayed like that for five minutes trying to figure out if it was ok.

And Yugi was too happy about having friends to really think about it but Anzu spent a long time wondering what the hell was wrong with Jounouchi, and Honda was pretty much convinced Jou had a crush on Yugi because it was the only thing that sort of made sense

I also headcanon that most of the friends Mokuba had at the time of season 0 weren’t actually friends as much as they stuck to him because Mokuba was rich, and he could get away with what he wanted, and they were a lot of little bullies who were friends with him because so they could do what they wanted too and Mokuba would help them out.

And after Mokuba stopped being That Way, basically all of them dropped him because he didn’t use his money or influence all that much anymore, because he didn’t want to hurt people anymore. While most of the other kids were too scared to approach him, because hey, Mokuba used to be an absolutely horrible little gremlin and what good kid would want to be friends with him? So he ended up alone.

And the main reason he had been friends with those other kids in the first place wasn’t because he liked them, but because they liked him and he was so alone and so desperate to have someone who liked him

FALSE.

Bakura, fan of all things strange eats Pineapple on pizza without remorse, regret nor care for what contrarian’s have to say.

Yami Bakura, who has been locked in the Ring for 3000 years with Zorc, is too much Zorc to regret his decision

Just a thought but what if Yugioh placed in the same setting as high school musical??? And Kaiba is the one with the most dramatic solo songs????

Ok I will now expose my sins for everyone to know and admit I have never watched high school musical and my knowledge amounts to they’re in high school and it’s a musical and Zac Efron was in it and they play basketball maybe?

Anyway a Yugioh musical would be great. They can break into songs while they duel. Dramatic duels with dramatic songs and the choreography is Black Magician and twenty Kuribohs dancing while Atem sings of friendship. And of course Kaiba would have all the most dramatic solos come on Kaiba would straight up go and interrupt other people’s songs to sing about himself because people (read Yugi) have to always notice him

There needs to be at least one musical argument between Yugi, Yami and Kaiba about whether or not magic is real.

And a duet between Yugi and Yami that ends with everyone else so confused because it mostly just looked like Yugi was singing to himself in the third person for no reason.

And Pegasus needs a villain song. Like full on belt it out for the world to hear about just how shitty you are villain song.

Please let Kaiba interrupt Teás friendship song at least two completely separate times before she snaps at him and he shuts up because hes at least a little scared of an angry Teá.

Joey needs a song that’s stopped because he walked into a pole or something.

It NEEDS to end with a completely choreographed dance to World of Yugioh. Like All in this Together but its World of Yugioh and even Kaibas totally into it. Please go listen to world of yugioh to understand why this has to be a thing. Everyone should hear that song at least once.

Adfrghituhj that song is amazing and it’s the perfect ending to a Yugioh musical

Oh and there needs to be a Kaiba bros song where they show off how cool they are that’s fundamental too

I will totally write some songs if someone is willing to cosplay/sing along.

Im not a great singer but I will happily lend my voice to it.

Nice! I could make a mock up this weekend and see who else would like to join. XD

I hope you can find some people for it, it sounds an amazing idea!

(I’d join too but my singing voice is pretty bad)

Tag me when its done?

Absolutely. Anyone else wanna be tagged when I’m done, let me know

I would love to see what you come up with! Please tag me too when you do it!
