As someone who loves seeing family dynamics in fiction, Yugioh Zexal came for my fucking throat.
There's Yuma, who misses his parents and lives with his grandma and older sister, who looks up to his father as a sort of idol and chooses to sleep in the attic with all the stuff brought back from their adventures because he still misses them so much.
There's Shark, who lost his parents as a child and then had to deal with his twin sister Rio ending up comatose in the hospital. Shark and Rio bicker and go at each other, but hurt one and you Will have the other coming for you.
There's Kaito, whose whole focus was on helping his younger brother Haruto recover, even if it meant damning himself in the process. He sacrifices his own well being via Photon Change time and time again for Haruto's sake, and puts up with so much from his shitty father, all for his baby brother.
And then there's the Arclights. The family patriarch Byron was betrayed and came back years later swearing revenge, using his sons as pawns in his scheme. The boys are also messed up, between V's emotional distance, IV's sadistic tendencies, and III's self sacrificial desperation to protect his family no matter the cost. And yet, the three brothers do still care about each other despite it all, remaining loyal to their broken little family despite knowing their position.
Zexal was so good on that front. It's one of my favourite YGO series.
What if, Raihan met gala look??
I just think it’s unfair only Leon gets the slutty pokemon fashion.
Anyway full pic under the cut
Inspo: Alton Mason’s Boss outfit from 2025 met & Archaludon (who rai also deserves).
yk when I first got into Pokemon Sword and started finding Gordie to be one of my comfort characters, I remember finding how sad his fanbase was :,((
Like wym he’s not as popular as the other characters— it makes sense that Leon or Raihan become popular cause of their appeal BUT YOU WOULD THINK PPL WOULD LIKE GORDIE AS WELL BUT NO, ITS HIS MOM…
but back then, when I was trying to find good content or fanart or fanfics for him,, it would only be weird stuff like ships with his mom or eating fetishes like what :,((( that’s weird guys the only relatively plus size character in this game and ppl decided to do that with him?? gross behavior genuinely
It’s so nice now to see ppl genuinely find joy over the same character as I do :DD cuz before I thought I was one of the few Gordie fans!! thank god for tumblr fandom still being alive!!!
Was watching someone play Sword yesterday and it was the first time I notice how much bigger and taller Gordie is to the other gym leaders. Look at 'im <3
Me and my friends on Twitter came with the idea of the Arclight siblings were in a rock band and there is: Lightbringers, ready to rock on!
III as the vocalist: Yeah his armor-like outfit is a brief reference to the armor that he was wearing in his duel against Yuma ( and a reference to Mizael's barian form too)
IV as the guitarist: I decided to go more creative with him, stylized hair, his guitar is a literal reference to Number 88 Gimmick Puppet of Leo and the color palette of his clothes resembles to Guitar Villain from Miraculous Ladybug
V as the drummer: It's simple to explain, he's cosplaying Dyson Sphere while playing technological drums
Yeah I know I'm a bit late and IV/IV was yesterday, but I simply forgot to post it here because was busy, anyways Happy 4/4

Update art: my fav kween \(//∇//)\
Back in 2020 I did a Miraculous x Pokémon Swsh AU and since there I've been working on it. There, Marinette and her friends go to the Galar region to learn about it and watch the gym challenge, everything goes well until they discovered that Hawk Moth was also there, looking for mysterious relics that would cause/stop an apocalypse
I was heavily inspired by the 2nd and 3rd seasons of miraculous, other fanfictions also helped me to get an inspiration for my story like Scarlet Lady AU (@zoe-oneesama) and CN Akuma's (@10bendog), I'm very happy to talk about it here because it's a project that I've been working for 4 years and now I have the opportunity to talk about it

Silent and menacing, the Galar karate prodigy is ready for unmask all the lies and reveal the truth, meet the Nightshade 🌙🥷🏻
This villainess that looks a lot like a ninja is no other than Bea, one of the gym leaders of the Galar region. With the various bandages around her body, she can stretch them and warp it around her victims, they are forced to tell the truth if they want to escape from this, or it will only get worse ( lying will worsen even more this situation)

The ice-cold professional, watch out for her attacks before you get frozen, meet the Icy Queen 👑🥶
This cold-hearted monarch is the akumatized version of Melony, one of the gym leaders of the Galar region. Her cryokinetic powers can make everything around her froze, she can create a variety of weapons made of a never melting ice to attack her opponents.
