Hi! Recently I've been interested in old fics, can you make a fic rec of season 1 fics written before s2 happened? (Old in age and old in theme lol) ps. I love your work and admire you a lot 😘

Hi Nonny!

Ohhh, this is an interesting prompt indeed! This one required me to 1) figure out when S2 aired (Jan 15, 2012) and 2) to use the “sort by date” feature on Ao3 I have never ever used. I got tired from trying to find all the Pre-S2 fics in my FFNet recs, so I haven’t many of them on here. When I have more free time, I’ll do a part 2 list from FFNet. So, yeah, sorry about how long this one took to do. Hopefully you’ll find something you like!

And if I got any of these wrong, well at least you can read more fics lol.

(and thank you so much!! I’m all blushie!!)

Yugioh S4 Ep 4: Pegasus and His Unlimited Moxie

So, I’m finally back after that long--time--when I was sick, then busy, etc etc. Long story, I peaced out from social media for the large part, and my method for finding solace mostly involved watching so much “big living in a tiny house.”

Those houses are so damn tiny.

And now I feel better, so lets get back to business.

Just FYI, this is a midweek post because this weekend I’ll be exploring a part of California I didn’t know existed before my friend was like “Napa’s booked, so we’re going South to do our wedding in the other wine country” and it’s like “the hell are you talking about other wine country?????”

So I might be driving to a large cardboard cutout of a winery, and me and 400 guests are going to just stand in front of it and pretend that it’s real for a couple days. This means that I will probably make only like maybe three updates this month and I’m just going to have to come to terms with that.

And in case you are wondering (you’re not) the bye bye bye mashup dance we’re doing for the wedding is going great. It’s really freakin great that the Seahawks decided to choose this week to steal our thunder, so now everyone at this wedding will think we’re just all really into Football. (I’m just telling you that because I feel a need to complain so thank you for listening.)

But anyway, it was a nice surprise amongst all this *stuff* I didn’t really want to do, that this particular episode of Yugioh is pretty great. Like...guys we get Pegasus, we get Kaiba having a meltdown, we get PEGASUS. Like I forgot how much I like Pegasus.

So first off, Yugi and friends decided to watch the news about the whole shpeal from last episode, probably because each and every one of them was certain they all shared the same collective fever dream.

Something to note about Yugioh is they use a lot of near future tech, and I don’t know how much of that sci-fi goes completely over the heads of kids nowadays since this has become so normal. But yo, people in 2002 were still using AOL.

A lot has changed in 10 years. Just let that sink in, babies in the back.

(read more under the cut)

Also, please turn your entire attention over to this

Man.

the weird orange cookie on this painting is what really gets to me. It looks like a handmade soap. Because in order to soothe my soul during this stressful month I also watched a lot of cold-process soap making videos.

*quickly looks up to see if there’s Yugioh Soap*

Yeah that doesn’t exist. Hey do you think that if I sent in a Yugioh soap design into Royalty Soaps she’d actually make it? I mean, she did Studio Ghibli. This is just Studio Ghibli but on fire and with terrible hair and actually very different.

(And yes, I did, just now, in fact, make a soap design that I’m absolutely mailing to Royalty Soaps. I’ll put it at the end. No idea what it should smell like, mostly because the last thing I want to do when watching Yugioh is think about how ANY of this smells.)

See, tangents like this are why I don’t have more time.

Anyway, Yugi recalls that he was supposed to *do a thing* but also recalls that he was given really no instructions at all.

When something absolutely wonderful happens.

Y’all I was like shouting at the screen “BE A TAPE BE A TAPE BE A TAPE” and lo and behold:

Dude. Pegasus is such freakin mastermind. Remember that this show started out with them streaming video on a computer, and what did he decide to do? He sent them a tape. Pegasus knows FULL WELL how much they want to see this tape but at the same time...don’t want to watch this tape, and what follows is everyone deciding if they should or should not open Pandora’s box. A Pandora’s box they opened once before and then murdered Grandpa entirely by accident.

I can’t believe they sat on this joke for four seasons. It’s such a freakin good joke.

So of course it’s the same kid who once decided it would be a great idea to put together a puzzle that came in a box that said “WARNING THIS GODAWFUL THING KILLS PEOPLE” who decided to just stick this in the VCR when everyone else was fighting and no one was looking.

And, this is not a joke, this is literally how Pegasus decided to open this tape by scolding him for not keeping in touch when Pegasus tried to kill them not once but multiple times back on murder island. Pegasus thinks this deserves him at least a Christmas card.

Something that’s also very Pegasus is that he um--doesn’t even bother wearing an eyepatch nowadays. He’s just got...one eye now...just an empty socket that he covers with bangs and is like “ya I dare you not look at it.”

And then on, this kid’s show, they basically go through the checklist of things that are “things a child abductor would ask you to do”

And that’s it. That’s the whole tape. It’s the end of the world and Pegasus wants to get one last good prank in before it all goes belly up.

And it worked really good on Joey. But unfortunately, did not seem to phase Yugi.

And then after this, the show gets very sidetracked by some side characters that are...they still exist.

First of all, how much did Weevil spend on a bug drone? Like...what’s this guy’s day job?

Second of all, Rex and Weevil live on some weird brain plane, where they’re pretty sure that the upper echelon of card people are all in love with eachother (which, I don’t blame them, I’ve seen tumblr, it does give that impression if you’ve never watched this show). What they don’t realize is how badly each of the upper echelon of card people want to murder the Hell out of eachother, wipe eachother’s brains, and blow eachother up on a 6000 ft tower on an abandoned island.

so I guess...Unfortunately...Rex and Weevil are...still with us. Their reasoning is kind of weird--they want super good cards--but like...what’s the point of having super good cards if you’re still Rex and Weevil? Rex is so bad at cards we didn’t even get to see him lose in S2.

Also, the biker gang is back, and I still don't know their font color because they’re in dim lighting in this scene so I’ll just use these temporary font colors for now.

So, having done his one last good Joke (and maybe the only good joke that Pegasus has ever made) Pegasus decided to sit and wait for someone to do a murder on him. I mean he’s not psychic anymore, but he’s figured he’s screwed enough people that this was how he was going to go out anyway.

Mai....Valentine....

So I guess she’s back for another season? It’s weird, she made one cameo and then that was it for this episode, but it was very clearly Mai Valentine. Bro brought up that they had to make her a villain again, because she’s literally their only girl villain and I was like “no that’s, not right they’ve got...” and then I kinda sat there for a couple of seconds and I realized “oh dude there’s only been one girl villain so far in all of Yugioh!” and he was like “YEP.”

Because both of us completely forgot about Rebecca until I wrote this in this post and he was double checking it just now. My apologies to the Rebecca stans.

And then Yugi decided to let us know something extremely disturbing about his curse. The showed played it off like this was a cute thing you would want to have happen. But no. No one would ever want this.

Ho boy! They share FEELINGS?

So like...

...bear with me here--when Yugi is scared, Pharaoh gets scared. When Yugi is tired, Pharaoh feels tired. When Yugi has a complete meltdown basically every single day, Pharaoh reaches for his Tums. So um...I have to ask the question...

So who’s dating Tea? Yes, I know the real answer is neither of them, but who is the one that keeps bringing forth this ship that this show is supposed to be shipping? Both of them??? I mean they have the same feelings, and before I was like, well, I’m sure Pharaoh just kinda turns around and watches brain TV when Yugi and Tea talk about...deadlifting, or whatever she’s into, but nah he’s like...he’s got the same feelings as Yugi.

Does that just...never bother them? Like...they never get jealous? Ever?

It’s so freakin weird.

This whole sequence was Yugi being like “You can’t keep a secret from me Pharaoh, I will instantly know since I can feel you lying to me” and it’s like hot damn that’s a big lore drop that they just hop and skip away from.

So the next day they go to the airport and just go unsupervised to a foreign country.

This makes complete sense on Gramps’ part, because he was exploring Egyptian caves most of his life, so in comparison, California is baby town and Yugi would be fine. Clearly Gramps doesn’t know enough about Oakland.

Then again, Grandpa spent a very long and mysterious time in the Middle East raiding so many tombs and stealing an entire artifact that contains the whole history of a lost age of Egypt and an actual Pharaoh’s soul so like...probably wouldn’t get you past TSA in 2002. He’d send off like every red flag warning in the airport.

Give me an Air Joey spinoff this instant, Yugioh, you cowards.

It’ll be just like Wings, except all the pilots are very bad at their job and haunted by multiple ghosts.

There’s a very long pissing segment where there was no piss, but Rex begging Weevil to let him piss in the airplane. It’s about as much as you can expect out of a Rex and Weevil segment. And like, basically at this point, Rex and Weevil are married, yet this ship is never, not once, ever surfaced in my feed of fanart I see out of y’all.

And I don't blame you.

Now, when we get to California, we find out that Croquet either went completely gray or was replaced with an identical twin and also...

GUYS IT’S MY HOMESLICE.

Which doesn’t really look like this, PS.

So bro has already told me that they’re going to San Fransisco next episode or so (OMG I’m so excited to talk about it), so this is absolutely supposed to be SFO in the show. (maaaybe Oakland Airport? But I super doubt it)

Most people outside of CA don’t know the vast scale of Bay Area and that the San Fransisco Airport is not very well named since it is...not close to San Fransisco at all.

So, I’m going to guess that the show thinks they landed directly in the heart of SF. With the way this vista looks, I think they basically just painted the view from north of Downtown. Which is especially fun because that is a pretty bougie community and the thought of having just a major airport smack in the middle of it makes my heart warm and fuzzy because they have voted out an affordable housing community SO many more times than is morally acceptable. Serves you right, here’s your international airport across the street.

But Bro has warned me ahead of time that this season makes absolutely no sense geography wise...and I’m pretty stoked for that.

And then, as if reading my mind, Tea removes Rex and Weevil from the show, yet again.

Incredible that they got through customs like that, but they did arrive on a private plane, and maybe customs are different for them? I...don’t think it would be, even for a private plane, everyone has to go through customs. But, it’s a kids show, so Rex and Weevil snuck into America in a luggage bag, just like how Fox News warned us about.

Then again, I imagine that the customs agent was like “yo there’s two human bodies stuffed in here!????” and was like “ohhhhh wait, it’s a Pegasus’ plane. That adds up. Ya.” and just let it through.

Time for a classic Kaiba meltdown sequence, where he puts on a show of being really competent but is in reality acting like a stack of screaming cats in a purple trench coat.

Mokuba just working overtime to keep this ship afloat because man.

And then this next part isn’t a joke I made up--Kaiba only took as long as it took to monologue for five seconds about his reputation before doing this:

It’s more than possible that the translators have no idea who Roland is, and unlike me, isn’t keeping tabs on Roland every second that green haired fourthKaiba is on screen.

So Pegasus decides to give Kaiba a call on his video phone--because again he only saves the Panasonic Camcorder for spooking Yugi.

Pegasus could have just *called* Yugi the entire time, lol.

Anyway, without the camcorder, Pegasus now has room to stretch out his legs and stick his feet directly in the screen like the end of the world wasn’t less than 2 days ago.

And the show isn’t telling us why or how this is happening after the whole Mai thing that happened. But it’s nice to know that even when Pegasus may be absolutely held up against his will, he still freakin slays.

Youknow, Pegasus does more in this one episode to remind me that “oh yeah, Pegasus was my favorite character this whole time” than anyone else and he did in like two calls, sitting in a chair behind his desk, just screwing with people to screw with them.

And what I enjoy about Pegasus is that, although he had his eyeball removed--he’s still a freakin asshole. He still super sucks. I had a lot of questions about “how much of Pegasus being the worst was the eyeball?” And apparently the answer was “VERY little, this guy is just the freakin worst. Didn’t need to be cursed at all.”

And so, Yugioh doesn’t really do transformation sequences--unless you count when Yugi sometimes goes “yugiohhhhhh” and then to everyone else looks virtually the same. Instead Yugioh does gear up sequences.

Where we find out that Seto promised Mokuba he wouldn’t play cards anymore until he was done building all those theme parks.

I guess it’s unfortunate for Mokuba that this whole Pegasus end of the world thing happened out of nowhere and also unfortunate for Mokuba that Kaiba can build card-themed theme parks Really Quickly. I think Mokuba was banking on it taking an entire lifetime to build a park but youknow, looking at how many sequels of Yugioh there are...eh, Mokuba should have instead dared Seto to give up dueling until he finished a single semester of public school. Then those cards would have stayed buried.

Hey um...did Kaiba add hip spikes on this purple coat since Season 2? I don’t remember him having those.

Good thing I write a blog and I can check. Time for some time travel to Season 2.

Ah, yes, the hip spikes were not there in Season 2. So, at some point in between then and now, Kaiba looked at this old ass coat hanging in his closet and was like “Not Enough Butt Spikes!” and just glued em on there.

But anyway, back to Season 4...

I’m pretty sure this is one of the doors from Evangelion.

And so, off they go, straight to their death, in the world’s most un-aerodynamic vehicle.

Really glad that Dragon Plane seems to have become a permanent character, as it would if you spent 10 million dollars building a dragon plane that can’t possibly fly using real world physics.

So, Yugi and Co are going to California, and Seto is going to Season One.

And I guess Bakura was like “Oi! Loves! Is every body ready for me to murder them?” and Gramps was like “sorry, they’re getting murdered by Pegasus today” and he was like “bloody hell, every time.”

Anyway, if you just got here, this is a link to read all these recaps from the beginning, in chrono order--it’s a lot of content, and I can’t believe I spent this much time doing this.

And because you’re curious, here’s the soap design that will get absolutely rejected by Royalty Soaps because they say they like to watch anime but they also pronounced “Ghibli” wrong like over 20 times on that one video so I have a strong feeling this is not their brand.

Teach me how to dance with you (800 followers!)

MASTERLIST

Pairing: Steve x reader

Warnings: ANGST, little bit of fluff, talk of miscarriage.

Word count: 2.222 (hell yeah)

Summary: Steve’s away for another mission and you fall apart. There’s a secret that has been weighing on your shoulders for way too long and you have no idea how much longer you can keep it from Steve.

A/N: 800 FREAKING FOLLOWERS OMG!

A/N without the caps: This is part one to a very random series of mine. It’s based on the song “Teach me how to dance with you” by Causes.

Crude my mind calling right this feeling

You’re my kind of something to believe in

She doesn’t sleep much and it has come to it that even Tony sleeps more than Y/N does. Ever since Steve left on that last mission she’s been all over the place, restlessly tossing and turning in their shared bed and even trashing the bedroom from time to time because without her Steve, the nightmares keep buzzing likes bees inside her head. The entire floor has become a gilded cage of red and gold.

“Y/N, what do you think you’re doing?,” Tony chastises as he discovers you probing on his computer, looking for the top-secret document that contains all the latest details on Steve’s whereabouts. “I get that you want to know if he’s safe or not, but this kind of behaviour I cannot tolerate.”

“Tony,” you whine, drawing your lips in a sad pout in a fruitless attempt to get him off your back. “I am going insane, I need him back. I need to know he’s okay.”

Tony moves behind you and swiftly closes the laptop while spinning you around on his desk chair, placing his hands on the arm rests as he draws closer to you until his nose almost touches yours.

“I know,” he whispers, his breath fanning over your forehead as his lips leave a small kiss on the soft skin before an ugly frown corrupts your beautiful features. “I know and I understand, Y/N, but you’ve got to trust Steve. He knows what he’s doing.”

On whose side will you find me hiding

I’m fortified for the battle of the fighting

“The problem lies not with Steve,” you pipe up, painstakingly aware of the depths of your admission. “The problem lies with me, deep in my chest.”

You let out a defeated sigh, pushing Tony further away when he steps aside to give you enough space to slip from his chair and make a run for the nearest exit. Shaking his head slightly, he watches your tired form stalk through the door.

The way from Tony’s office to the personal floor you share with Steve feels longer than usual, the elevator ride up taking what seems to me an eternity before the doors finally slide open. First things first, you drag your feet towards the bedroom and rummage through the closet for that one particular blue shirt that has the blood roaring and pumping in your ears whenever Steve wears it. But tonight he’s not here, so you decide you’ll wear it instead.

Give me everything you got

If it helps to stop the rut

After you’ve slipped the silky fabric over your head, falling comfortingly over your exposed body, you make a beeline for the kitchen and take out that bag of chocolate coated raisins you’ve been eying ever since Wanda gifted them to you yesterday.

It had been officially two weeks since you’ve seen or spoken to Steve and everybody apprehended the hurt radiating in waves off of your wrecked body yet Wanda, being the kick-ass psychic she is, must’ve felt it more than anyone else because she’s been showering you with all these little presents in an attempt to make you feel at least a tiny bit better.

Unfortunately it’s not working.

For a quick minute you contemplated whether to go one floor down to your private workspace and occupy your mind with some writing. But then your thoughts wander to the countless sketches decorating the light grey walls and you have to suppress a gut-wrenching wail before crashing to the floor, holding your legs close to your upper body as you rock back and forth.

Take in and think you’ve got

Could you help me feel you’re pose

“Y/N?” A kind and strong voice carries through the living room with a familiar weight, its tone possessing the warmth of the summer sun. “Y/N, baby, where are you?”

You release a strangled sob and next thing you know, an acquainted body crouches down next to you and envelopes you in his arms. His lips easily find their way to the crown of your head as they peck it reassuringly, murmuring sweet nothings into your hair.

“Y/N, I am so sorry,” Steve exhales slowly before connecting his lips to your temple, then your cheek stained by the wet tears, the salty aftertaste caressing his bottom lip as one stray drop trickles downwards and he catches it with his thumb. It’s never been this bad before, Steve considers, so what is so different about this particular mission that it leaves her fighting for her sanity?

Find the truth in all this false

Could you help me fight them off

You plummet into a deep pit of desperation as the words start to fall from your lips. “I love you and I missed you so much,” you whimper like a child on the first day of school, pleading eyes silently connecting with the electric thunder behind his baby blues. “I love you and I can’t live without you. Please don’t leave me.”

“Y/N,” he begs, his fingers circling your cheeks as he cups your face into his hands. “I am never going to leave you again.”

“I am pathetic. I am not…” The words have formed a lump in your throat, causing you to choke on your sorrow. “I am not the one for you.”

Soft cries fill the air pulled taut and Steve slightly shifts his angle so he can pull you into his lap. “I am never going to leave you. Never, you hear me?,” he promises firmly, followed by a hushed “You are not pathetic, my love. You are mine and mine alone. You are the only one I trust with my heart.” It’s barely audible but his lips are so close to your ear that his dedication is able to fill you to the brim with the love that founded these words.

Teach me how to dance with you

Teach me how to love

“Stay with me?,” you requested tentatively. “Stay with me, Steve.”

“Always. Always and forever, babe.”

“Steve,” you begin again, studying the rush of sentiments crossing his mind. “I don’t mean just for the night. I want you to stay, stay forever.”

“What’s going on, doll?,” he questions worriedly. “Where is this coming from?”

“I am pregnant, Steve,” you admit quietly. “My emotions have been piling up ever since I found out, my body feels so stiff and I believe I pulled a few muscles just by stepping out of the elevator. I am so sore, I don’t feel blessed, I don’t feel like a glowing mother-to-be or whatever you’re supposed to feel like when you’re expecting. I feel like a hot mess instead, or rather just a mess because there’s nothing hot about a pitiful human being like me.”

“Stop that right now, Y/N,” Steve demands, slipping into his authoritative Captain America voice. His voice grows softer when you continue to cry into his tactical gear. “You are the only one for me, doll. I don’t want nor need anyone else, I just live for you. But I guess now I live for two.”

Steve chuckles affectionately and without exchanging more words, Steve hoists you up in his arms and carries your quivering form to the bedroom. The comfortable covers welcome you like an old friend would and Steve quickly sheds himself of his clothes before joining you.

The bed dips under the weight of his chiselled body and as soon as his arm snakes around you waist, gently coaxing you to turn around and face him, your heart melts at the sight of his red-rimmed eyes and tousled dirty blond hair. You hadn’t taken a moment yet to actually look at him and the surprise must’ve been etched on your face because he immediately apologises for the dust littering his full appearance.

So give me what you’ve got

Because this I want it all

Want it all

“Don’t,” you interrupt him causing his admission of guilt to fall on deaf ears. “Steve, there’s something I need to tell you first.”

“Okay,” Steve nods and you distance yourself from, sitting upright with your legs crossed as Steve presses his chest to your back, his face nuzzled in the nape of your neck. “I’m listening,” he hums against your skin. The news of your pregnancy comes unexpected but you can feel the happiness coursing through his veins and it makes you sweat like a heatwave.

“It’s not the first time,” you disclose gingerly, resting the back of your head onto his shoulder and locking your eyes with his. Steve kinks an eyebrow and shoots you a confused look. “I’ve been pregnant before,” you clarify and the clear blue sky behind his eyes clouds over with a hurricane of anxiety.

“How? When?” Steve releases a long breath and his hold on your waist loosens. “I don’t – I don’t understand, Y/N.”

“When we were in Wakanda, you had a covert meeting with Tony. That same day I was struck by a high fever and the doctors had to operate me in order to save my life. I found out afterwards that I had been carrying your child. He or she didn’t make it,” you explain softly, your voice laced with an undertone of regret. “The second time I had a miscarriage. If Bucky hadn’t found me, I would’ve bled to death on the kitchen floor.”

You continue to explain to him that once you had recovered from the procedure and you had gained enough strength to continue with your assignments and daily hassles, you had asked Bruce and Tony to run some tests, trying to find an explanation because the loss was eating away at you. You wouldn’t be able to face Steve any time soon if you didn’t find it in you to at least attempt to figure out why you of all people had been hit which such misfortune – twice.

“My immune system is very weak and cannot protect my body properly from any foreign substances. Bruce told me that the opposite is true as well, so when my blood comes in contact with that of the baby, it stimulates an unwarranted protection mechanism. The super soldier serum that runs through your veins also affects any potential new life form that grows inside of me. It’s possible that I will never be able to fully carry to term.” You take a deep breath, your eyes glossing over. “I might lose this child as well.”

Give me what you’ve got

Because I want it all

I’m a little jaded since this fire faded among predicted all

Steve remains quiet, his breathing picking up slightly as his brain tries to process all this new information. He’s like a sponge, soaking it all up until he’s bursting at the seams. “I did this to you,” he finally replies, giving in to the self-hate that mystifies his very being.

Your head shoots up to meet his tormented eyes and you swing your legs around his, straddling his waist. “No, no no no, Steve, don’t do that to yourself. None of it is your fault,” you assure him but he’s not convinced, the doubt only creeping in further and further. “You know what they say right? Third time’s a charm.”

He gives you a pained expression. “Y/N, you’re saying that we might never have children because of the serum. You can’t help it, but I can because it was my choice.” Steve tears his eyes away from yours, coughing in order to get rid of the weight settling in his chest. “Why did you never tell me?”

“Steve,” you answer, sliding your hands up his neck until your fingers lace together. You press a tender kiss to his lips. “I am afraid. I have been afraid for so long, that’s why I didn’t tell you. But I never for one second thought that you were responsible.”

Your voice is but a whisper, but it has a certain strength to it that Steve has never heard before. You’re his fragile girlfriend, you get sick as soon as the temperature drops just a smidge and he needs to keep you away from harm. It’s in his system to protect and serve, but there’s only one woman he has a never-ending duty to and that’s the woman in front of him. “I love you,” he breathes out against your lips. “And I’m so sorry.”

Just teach me how to dance with you

Teach me how to love

Steve’s hands encase your own, the light flickering in his overcast blue eyes. They’re reflective and their elegance comes from a very deep and true place. “We will figure this out together.”

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep. You are free to leave, Steve. I don’t mean to chain you to a life you do not want nor deserve,” you say dejectedly, your heart stopping with a violent thud as you hide behind a porcelain smile.

“You are my home. You have no idea what I would give to be with you.” His voice takes on a much darker tone and it’s both as haunting as it is beautiful, oozing a melodic devotion like the incredible, honest love ballad his words appear to be. “You are the most beautiful of us all.”
