Justin: I’m gonna roll a perception check… of 4… to see if our cell is in any way damaged by this quake.
Griffin: Uh, you’re in a prison cell.
Travis: I got a 10.
Griffin: You’re in a prison cell with bars on it.
Clint: I got a 1!
Griffin: You’re in a cube shaped place.
When Taako finally died at the ripe old age of 590, he expected to see what lup told him he would see once he died; a white room with one of his three grim reaper friends in front of him.
But that did not happen.
When Taako died and the world fazed out, he saw a bright flash and then closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, he was in a library.
It was unexpected obviously, this was not what taako had been told would happen.
Taako stood still for a moment, wondering what was going on, when someone cleared their throught.
Taako’s heart swelled once again, and he felt a pit form in his stomach.
Standing in front of him was the last person he’d thought he’d see.
But it wasn’t a bad thing.
Taako was so happy.
He let out a small cry.
The last time Taako had seen Angus McDonald was on his death bed, Angus then being 95 years old.
But this was the Angus Taako had met years ago on the rockport limited, the fancy boy with round glasses and a big blue book.
Angus grins widely.
“Hello again, sir!”
Taako smiles and picks the boy up, hugging him tight.
“Hello, my beautiful magic boy.”
Ok But for real Taako dropping his disguise spell actually kills me cause you know YOU FUCKING KNOW he was 100% sincere about that shit. You can hear it in his voice, and it actually breaks my heart a little at how he like, actually sounds a little, unsure? like he genuinely thinks Kravitz might feel differently about him now, because of this.
One of my favourite things about Taako is how he’s got this insecure side that we only rarely see? He’s so good at keeping it hidden, pretending like he’s this endless well of confidence, but then you get these little things, here and there. I’m worried nobody else will have me and him immediately glamouring his changed appearance in Wonderland, and so this is what I look like now, and I just wanted you to know in case that changes anything, for you.
And like, the way he INSTANTLY jumps back into troll mode once he’s got that reassurance. Like he has to pretend he didn’t just have this very real, sincere moment., has to pretend like it’s just a prank. cause playing it off like a joke is easier than admitting to being vulnerable. haha that was a actually a test your face is a skull half the time.
I just. I have so many feelings about this scene. I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT TAAKO I LOVE HIM SO MUCH UGH UGHHH
how to hide insecurities behind a too cool for you attitude.
*says “Ironic…” and steeples my fingers dramatically but adamantly refuses to tell you what im talking about but i keep making reference to how ironic it is through little affects and gestures and its really starting to piss you off*
*hits the blunt* yugioh was propaganda because the season they opened the anime with in the US started by making you pity yugi for losing his exodia cards in like, the second episode i think it was. basically this fuck has a huge unfair advantage over everyone else in the world and is planning to use it to win a cash tournament. but you’re supposed to feel bad for him when he loses that advantage and ends up on an even playing field because the cards are “his property”. exodia is capital and yugi moto is the bourgeoisie
and kids are meant to think “wow id hate it if i had exodia and i lost it. i could have exodia someday so for some reason i empathize with that situation” it’s literally capital
Luke ur literally misreading this entire fucking thing cuz kaiba is literally a fucking CEO and he’s the villain. this show is anticapitalist…yugi losing the exodia cards is actually about how the proletariat loses the true value of their labor under the surplus theory of value
ok listen up though yugi literally gets possessed by the spirit of a pharaoh and inherited the exodia cards from his grandfather they are clearly a metaphor for the divine right of kings under feudalism and weevil is the bourgeois revolutionaries overthrowing feudalism. only joey wheeler, the true hero of the proletariat, can
i object, joey wheeler is propaganda to make the horrors of a capitalist society seem heartwarming instead of terrifying by exploiting his motivations. Had the country had universal healthcare then he wouldn’t need to win the tournament. the only good character is tristan and thats why a bunch of shareholders killed him and forced him into the body of a monkey
