so me and @emeraldhypo.bsky.social were talking and we agreed that iii having scars from that time his powers went out of control during his duel against yuma would be cool- #yugioh #ygo #yugiohzexal

If you position the cafe merch art for Yuma and III like this it looks like III is showing off his boyfriend. #yugioh #ygo #zexal

Hey so I'm really happy all three Arclight brothers and six out of seven Barians were included in the cafe merch but uh. Where the fuck is Rio/Merag??? You know, the seventh Barian who is conspicuously missing? #yugioh #ygo #zexal

so i'm at vancouver fan expo, and i'm spreading the yugioh zexal propaganda (it's mostly iii propaganda) (please watch zexal i'm begging-)

A rough doodle of III from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, with the message 'Watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal' written above him in gold pen.

A red and pink ita bag featuring III from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, with many different pins and charms.

Every time tumblr goes down it feels like staring at an elderly beloved pet sleeping in their bed across the room. Is it still breathing…? Is this the end????

The thesis statement of this au is 'what if a power of friendship type magical girl meets a bunch of dark/deconstructive/'magic powers that eat your soul' type magical girls *and still manages to save the day*.

my friends were right about who my zexal blorbo would be- @darkestabsol.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

I cannot emphasize this enough: Yuma is meant to represent an archetypal power of friendship and hope magical girl in this au.

Kind of a Kyubey move for the door to appear to Yuma when he's at his most desperate to save someone/most willing to agree to a magical girl contract- #yugioh #ygo #yugiohzexal #zexal #fanfiction #fanfic

A snippet of a fanfiction. Text reads as follows:

Before he can say anything else it all goes dark, Yuma's surroundings slamming from the bright colourful streets of Heartland to the dim clifftop and looming door that are so familiar from his dreams. He looks around, panic and desire to do *something* clawing at his guts as the door begins to speak.

***"He who opens the door shall obtain a new power. However, as the price for this power, you shall lose that which is most important to you."*** The voice of the door booms through Yuma's core, drawing his attention. Vaguely, in the back of his mind, he recalls Tetsuo and Kotori's warnings not to take any offers from it, and he knows he should just say no. Heck, maybe if he waits long enough he'll fall off the crumbling cliff behind him and snap back to reality, just like in the dreams.

*But.*

Yuma can't deny the desire to save Ryoga, despite his foul temper. He would never be able to live with himself if he let Ryoga *die* because of his own fear of what the door might take from him in exchange.

A snippet of a fanfiction that immediately follows the first snippet. Text reads as follows:

And well, Yuma supposes the *kattobingu* spirit he learned from his father was made for this moment.

The chained door looms, ominously silent as it watches Yuma with its stone face. Yuma hears the clatter of stones behind him as the cliff crumbles ever so slightly at his heels. Gripping his (now glowing, as if it knows what he's decided) pendant, he nods once, stepping closer to the door.

<- He's been at the orphanage for a long time, and has a chip on his shoulder about it. He also feels the need to try and knock Michael and Thomas down a few pegs due to their formerly rich status. Very bitter teen.

-I needed a low level antagonist for the orphanage arc of the AU who could act as a recurring bully for Michael before the actual plot kicks in later. I *also* needed a character Michael could duel for Shark Drake (which I wanted to be the first featured Number), so he uses Mermails. ->

Another custom AU monster with no context...this one is a ZW...

A drawing of a winged deer/peryton. The deer has a red and white body with metallic silver antlers, forelimbs, hind hooves, and bladelike wing feathers.

White text states that the monster is named 'ZW Falchion Peryton', that it is WIND attribute, is Winged Beast/Effect type, and can be equipped to Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis.

Me: shares a bunch of custom monster designs for various AUs Me: doesn't elaborate Me: leaves #yugioh #ygo #yugioh5ds #yugioharcv #yugiohzexal

A cartoon drawing of a large bipedal dog monster. The monster has black skin with pink striping over its body and upright ears. White text on the image indicates that its name is 'Earthbound God Atuq Allqu', that it is Level 10, is DARK attribute, and is Beast/Effect type.

An image of a predominantly purple and black legless dragon with bright teal wings and a red striped tail. It is labelled as 'Clear Wing Rebellion Dragon', with smaller text indicating it is Rank 7, requires two Level 7 Dragon Monsters to summon, and is Dragon/XYZ/Effect type.

A predominantly white and gold sea serpent with gold bits dangling off its body and white folded wings. Text next to the image says that it's named 'Chronomaly Eltanin Sea Serpent' and is XYZ/Sea Serpent/Effect type.

Was rotating an AU where Yugo ends up absorbing Yuto rather than Yuya, ended up drawing a hypothetical combo of Clear Wing and Dark Rebellion. #yugioh #ygo #arc-v

The same image as before, but the dragon has two pale yellow lights orbiting it.
