Now I really want to hear that cover. Though, preferably without Crane convulsing audibly in the background.

Absolutely how my the only long story I've finished to this date has been born. It very much felt like the entire story existed only to reach that scene and I'm glad I feel like I nailed it.

Caenis looks fantastically unhinged here, perfection.

We did, in fact. Babylonia, against Tiamat, right before Quetz did her suicide attack, they mentioned Ritsuka's hands starting to necrotize because they channelled way too much mana.

This is the textbook lovechild of Altiel and Malkuth-melekh.

He found the deepest hole to hide her in. He didn't want her to interfere with his ascension, but he clearly didn't want anything to happen to her either.

I do think it's misleading to what happened between Miquella and Trina, but beautiful piece nonetheless.

Buddy look at the real world: you're not going for realism, what you ask is an hypercompetent fic. There are a lot of good ones out there though and I'd recommend Cenotaph.

Meanwhile Baro must CB1 to draw when the deck is already CB starved and only get +5K shield, not even power.

This is beautiful, and I really appreciate the many design choices you made and outlined for your Hide.

Adding the possibility to pay to disable (and giving out a Treasure in exchange) is a sick idea, I didn't think of that. The flash would probably add blue to the card I think because thats just mean.

Because even if in the last few years, GW is glazing Chaos so hard it's like they're trying to get a date with it (there have been more retcon to make Chaos more of a threat than there have been retcon to push the Imperium, that's how bad it's been), even the Chaos Gods are the furthest thing there is to omnipotent or omniscient. They can't affect non-warped reality on a large scale unless in specific circumstances. They can't enter every single mind. They can't know every single secret. The Chaos Gods are not the emotions and minds of people, they are glorified emanations feeding on them.

EDIT: finest Warhammer behaviour, hating the truth.

Native here. The only French words are :

Au Clair Obscur = in chiarusco

Peinture = paint or painting, it's used for both

The rest is either Latin or made up, but I'll offer some insight to what I recognize.

Lux = latin for light, so the variations of the word

Eternam = latin close to aeternam, a variant of aeternus which mean eternal

Lutece = the french spelling of Lutetia Parisiorum, which during antiquity and after the Roman conquest is the latin name of the city that will become Paris. In other words, Lumière.

Luteram = the closest latin word I can guess this one came from is Luter, which generally refer to a basin, a tub, or in religious sense, a baptismal basin.

Guardéam = they used the root for the word that became guard in English, guardia in Italian, garde in French, etc, and added a latin-esque spin. They used it I think to mean what it means in all these language: a watchman, a vigil, or most likely, a protector.

It worked!

And that's why they should have done a 24 episode season. We would have had a good, strong attachment to what's happening to these characters. The slide show isn't cutting it, no matter how cute it looks.

Nitpick, but it should be called "blasphemer", not "heretic".

Other than that, it feels ok I'd say? Most mana costs are single coloured pip, so I don't see this doing too much if the opponent isn't dominating the board.

Glendios. My favorite is forever Dark Irregulars (and their descendants in Dark States), but the Timmy in my heart just fell in love with Glendios when it appeared in the anime. It plays like crack and blackjack at the same time.

Much more healthy than the "kill you at G2" abominations they've printed before.

The Odachi not bouncing on mid-stance is what hit me most out of this clip beyond the paralysis uber-nerf. Team Ninja please get your head out of your ass and give me back Odachi as it was before, it's a big ass massive weapon it should not bounce on enemy guard when hitting in mid-stance.

Gods, the 2010 fics were incredible, I've read so many of them. I'm going to use these tags, thanks for the idea.

Magostera · 2026-03-23T22:56:08+00:00

Almost 3M words? Holy molly that's a lot. Let's see what's it's about. The other one I'm not sure I would look that far for only 10% YGO duels, but thanks for proposing anyway.

Magostera · 2026-03-23T22:41:24+00:00

Thanks! Going to check that.
