^Considering my nation is now using a Seto Kaiba fanart as its flag, this is oddly appropriate, in light of the history of Old!KC. Also amusing.

Aka the slutty adventuress who's trying to save the world while STILL trying to have fun on the side.

( Meet Luonnetar! )

She is very partial to spider-morphs but occasionally seeks out the company of hellhounds and minotaurs.

Don't judge me!

Am I the only one thinking Kaiba looks a bit derpy laughing like that?^





You can tell where most of my attention was focused on in this episode.


What the flying fuck he was summoned into.


By manipulating the splitscreen! Then again, he is half-dinosaur...(?)


Jaden's sense of direction can apparently give Ryoga's a run for its money.



It's never a good thing when THAT shows itself...



Dinoberry and Cyrusbug 2013~! Also, Yugioh GX has embraced its predecessor's tradition of going down the Tron Route.


Of Avion's sweatdrop!


The moment I see this screencap? Slashed. FOREVER. ABYDOS/JUDAI IS CRACK OTP


When even Zane is sweatdropping, you know things have gotten too silly.

JW%: "Make it so." Seto told Chekov, dismissing him. Then he called up Mokuba to make alternative plans.

AlkonostStorm: Mokuba looked up from the mods he was programming into the Capsule Monsters game to answer the phone. "Yeah, Seto?"

JW%: "Mokuba, remember the old days?" Seto almost purred with the thought of mayhem. "We saved all those... less than safety committee-approved gear, right?"

AlkonostStorm: "...You mean that time when you thought you looked cool with Pistachio-green hair and gold eye contacts?"

JW%: Seto took several moments of silence. "Yes Mokuba. That time. No, I'm not dying my hair, or putting contacts in."

AlkonostStorm: "I still don't know what possessed you to go for that shade of green." Pause. "Yeah, they should still be around. Especially since a lot of money went into some of that gear; you didn't want it thrown away because it'd be a waste."

JW%: "I was trying for blonde!" Seto snapped and then regained his composure. "Anyway, you're aware of the issue with the MacDowan Corp." Mokuba probably wasn't. "That they're attempting to block Kaiba land's development for reasons that appear petty and spiteful. We might have to show them we can play at their level too."

Tarot Card of the Day: The Chariot
In-general explanation: Oil her car. Victory tramples death's soil. The charioteer is the lover after conquering his choices. Another triangle. Go for it but don't take yourself too seriously. A car stuck in the mud moves along with the landscape. Perhaps it is not a car but a stage. Perhaps all winners are puppets. When the road gets tricky, loosen the reins. Let your feelings drive.
More directly: Indirect control, intuition, the power of subtlety.

Is it just me or does this app come off as rather Cloudcuckoolander at times? And what's with the wording of the text???

The Issue

Several underground organisations in Snoozing Buffalax have recently been spreading discontent throughout the populace about not being able to vote.

The Debate
1."We demand the power to rule the country the way we want!" cries Thomas Dodinas while being dragged before you in chains. "Too long have you and your dictatorial government been allowed to control our lives! The right to vote in a fair and free election is all we crave! You can take our lives, but you'll never take our souls! Elections for Snoozing Buffalax!"

2."If you'll take my advice, we should just send these crazies down to the dungeons," murmurs Wil Mistletoe, one of your political advisors. "If we let them spread this propaganda we'll soon have a revolution on our hands! We should crack down on these groups, and ban non-governmental political organisations to keep the people from getting too frisky with their pitchforks."

3."There's no need to be quite so dramatic," assures Sean Sparkle, your minister of Silly Walks as he pinwheels past. "We could let them have their way a little, just to keep them happy, you know? We could give them the right to vote, but not the right to run for office. Then we could just pick out the candidates we wanted and they could choose! We've been doing this for years, we don't want some uppity new bloke trying to tell us what to do."

Out of everything in this issue, this is the one thing that stands out to me.

The Sultanate of Snoozing Buffalax has a Ministry of Silly Walks.

Just...what.
