The Yuri!!! On Ice x MAPPA Calendar official art is so beautiful. Feel free to use my scans for whatever you’d like~

For those interested in the calendar, Aitai☆Kuji is still accepting preorders here!

Sometimes, you have to write 53 sale bios in about 3 days, with dragons from every single flight, just because you can.

Anyways, if you’re looking for Leap Day babies with lore up the wazoo, check out my hatchery (in reblog). Adopt a kiddo, save a Tues. It’s worth it, I promise.

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO YUGIOH :D I hope the fandom parties hard today <3 

What you see above are basically most of the things I’ve been collecting for the past 15 years, since my first experience was the English dub! I have more stuff, but obviously I didn’t want to abuse the image post.

I mean come on, I’m sure at one point in our lives, we were all like Yugi. The one that didn’t fit in or constantly got bullied or didn’t have friends. This show despite all the tedious card games showed us that no matter how tough things get, there will always be some one that cares about you. Whether its your siblings, parents, or friends. The original Japanese dub made that a prevalent plot in the entire series. Hell all these characters had a goal, whether it was through dueling or other means. 

Yuugi wanted friends. Atem wanted to find out who was. Anzu wanted to be a dancer.    Jounochi wanted to be with his sister. Honda wanted to be a pilot.  Seto wanted to provide for his little brother. 

Not to mention besides all the card games, this series dealt with a lot of heavy themes. Especially abuse  and death. These characters were all children - teenagers yes - but the fact was these were still children dealing with trauma and trying to be strong every step of the way. 

Thank you Kazuki Takashi for giving us all these lovable in depth characters and for a card game that will never end :D 

Thank you for giving me my second and third anime husbando. These two idiots lol 

Thank you for giving me my very first online friend ever @cheshirecat423 xD We are besties because of this awesome show <3 

Thank you for giving me awesome tumblr friends @zelka94 @hiramiyugioh

and for ships that have forever sank DX 

Except for this one rofl 

Here’s hoping that the English dub of Darkside of Dimensions is good. 

Enjoy all the awesome gifs that made this series great :D 

Enjoy the ending we never got in the English dub :D Happy 20th and many more awesome card games to come. 

can’t decide between first person or third, any tips to help? I usually write in third for fanfics but I’m now writing my own story and am so torn

First Person vs. Third Person POV

Both point of views have different abilities to narrate a story. I'm not going to use pros and cons for this, because I believe that it depends on the way you want to tell a story, if these aspects are helpful for you or not.

First Person POV

The narrator is a direct part of the story and narrates what they see and feel with using "I" (or "we").

Features of first-person pov:

it offers a direct link to the story

the story can feel more real and believable

the narrator is part of the situation, but you as the author can still decide if they are an active participant or if they are watching from the sidelines

the whole story is them talking about their experiences

therefore, the story is always subjective and full of what the narrator thinks, feels and believes to be true

if they are also not telling the story in the moment, but rather recounting it, they can also recount some things differently than how they actually happened

a first person pov is the easiest way to create an unreliable narrator

Third Person POV

The narrator is the author, who is detached from the story and narrates the lives of characters without being one of them. The narrator calls the characters by their name or their pronouns.

You have three different options:

Third-person omniscient:

This narrator is all-knowing and can tell the whole story as it is, from every perspective, but not limited to a single character. They know what every character is thinking and feeling and what their motivations are.

Third-person limited:

This narrator is limited to the inner feelings of a limited amount of characters, often just the protagonist.

Third-person objective:

This narrator tells the story completely objective, just telling what can be seen without commenting on it and not going into the thoughts and motivations of specific characters.

Features of third-person pov:

it allows the reader to emerge themselves into the thoughts and motivations of one or more characters, therefore making it almost feel like first-person pov

it can also be objective, with just the characters' dialogues and actions telling the reader about them

it allows the author to jump between scenes and times more easily

the author can tell multiple storylines at the same time (also possible with multiple first-person povs, but the jump between different times is easier for the reader in third-person)

by using third-person pov the author can decide completely on how much they want to tell the reader at any given point
