Hey, if you’re a brand new account following me, PLEASE drop me an ask first so I don’t instinctively block you. Can be difficult to tell who’s a real person sometimes.
The SAVE Act would block millions of eligible voters from participating in our democracy. It requires in-person citizenship documentation that would effectively end online and mail voter registration and exclude millions of eligible citizens from registering to vote if they don’t have passports, access to their birth certificates, or if those documents do not reflect their name following a name change. This would impact trans people and the tens of millions who change their name upon getting married. And the bill mandates faulty voter roll purges – disenfranchising eligible voters.
The SAVE Act isn’t about safeguarding elections. It’s about silencing voters. We can’t let this bill get any further: Tell your Senators to vote NO on this dangerous bill and protect our voting rights.
the most annoying people are people who don’t understand storytelling. they be like “oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning”. yeah no shit. that’s why the story begins here
I understand the value of artistic liberties but what exactly is Yugio’s haircut supposed to be. I’ve wondered this since childhood
Yes yes yes its just supposed to look interesting and cool, it’s not supposed to translate into the 3D space, but if it did what would it be
As we can see above, this haircut:
Is dark in the back, blached in the front
split into minimum two groupings: Body and Bangs
Spiked in the back, likely with the use of gel or styling mousse
Obviously this is an anime, and as other features such as eyes, ears, and legs are exaggerated I feel it is safe to interpret the length of hair as exagerrated as well.
This is a convenient assumption because otherwise, spiking shoulder-lrngth hair into seven (minimum) rigid vertical spikes would be impossible to maintain.
Assuming a real-life Yugio haircut could exist as inspiration got this style, I imagine a haircut that is either short and spiked in the back with natural bangs, or long in the back and textured with shorter bangs to frame the face. Either way, either the front is bleached, or the additional blond spikes in the back could be interpreted as highlights throughout the darker, perhaps natural hair.
Given these criteria, I have narrowed the possibilities dow to these three hair styles:
For research purposes please enter your interpretations to the poll attached below
So there is a definitive answer for this, according to the people I know who Cosplay Yugi/Yami of Yugioh and style wigs for it: They start with No-Bangs Bobcut , Dye it the appropriate colors but in the same pattern as “That Thing” (AKA ‘White bangs") above, usually by applying sucessive layers of warm colors (yellows, then reds, then warm blacks), and then Gel into a Hyper-Karen Bob.
So it’s a Red-shift-White-Bangs-Hyper-Karen-Bob cut-and-color, and that’s one hell of a mouthful, so it’s fine to just call it a Yugioh for short.
I think I may have a guess for this
Yugi and Atem have slightly different hair, with Atem having a more extreme version of Yugi’s hair. However, it is important to note that there is likely no actual physical difference in Yugi and Atem’s appearances. His close friends, before finding out Atem existed, simply noticed that Yugi seemed more confident, not that he got taller, voice changed or hair changed. So that might not be diegetic, but a difference for the audience’s sake.
It’s also worth noting that anime tends to exaggerate things, particularly hairstyles. So in reality, Yugi’s hair may be less like this:
But more like this:
This is a bonkers haircut for a shy, quiet, goody two shoes Japanese schoolboy to have
That’s cus he’s goth!
He wears chokers and stuff. He’s shy cus nobody talks to the weird goth kid who loves gaming.
It’s actually Visual Kei, though there was definitely overlap between the goth/punk subcultures and the Visual Kei world! The author was pretty openly inspired by the Visual Kei culture of the 80’s and 90’s, which has many many hairstyle examples that are similar to what Yugi wears:
The show itself had many collaborations with Visual Kei performers and bands, too, so it’s pretty obvious how the series takes inspiration from the culture aesthetically as well. You can see it in some of the fashion choices, too, not just the hairstyles, as well as how visual kei took cues from and overlapped with goth and punk styles as well:
It’s the costume designer in me, but I always think it’s important to remember and reference the period and location something was made when you’re trying to figure out why it was designed the way it was, and how to realistically recreate it.
Yugioh is very obviously of its time, and that’s a good thing! Take a dive into learning about the period subcultures and you’ll find lots of cool things there, and a lot of insight into why your favorite things were made the way they were, too. :)
Guilty Gear is a story about doppelgangers and duplicates. Me who is not me. Created beings.
Aria <> Elphelt, Jack'O, Ramlethal, Valentine, Justice in a way
Asuka <> Doppelkreutz <> Simulacra Asukas
Zato-1 (PreXrd) <> Zato-1 (PostXrd)
Ky <> Robo-Kys
Dizzy <> All her duplicates created by Crow in that one ending
Megumi <> I-No
Sol <> Order Sol
Axl <> Axls from other timelines
Let us not forget the transformation from one self to another.
Frederick <> Sol Badguy
Aria <> Justice
Asuka <> That Man
The Original <> Happy Chaos
Venom <> Phantom
Zato-1 <> Zato-1 (PostXrd)
I’m sure there are others as well, but there are also a lot of created beings:
Literally: All Gears, All Valentines, ABA, Doppelkreutz, The Universal Will.
Metaphorically: Baiken, Millia, Asuka
Probably missed some, but regardless, the argument GG makes is that the only way for a created being copy to live and find happiness is to not do what it was made to do, but to find its own purpose and meaning in life. Find your one way and what not.
IDK I just think it’s interesting how often GG does this.
My name is Naser, and war has taken everything from me—my mother, my sister, my home, and the life I once knew. In an instant, my world was shattered, leaving behind nothing but memories and the weight of loss.
But even in the darkest moments, I refuse to give up. Because amidst the pain, I still have something worth fighting for—my three younger brothers.
🔹 One dreams of becoming a doctor, to heal others so they don’t have to endure the pain we’ve faced. 🔹 Another aspires to be an engineer, hoping to one day rebuild what war has destroyed. 🔹 And the youngest? He doesn’t have big dreams yet—he just wants to be a kid again, to wake up in a home that feels safe, to play without fear.
But how do you rebuild a life when there’s nothing left to start with?
🏡 We Need a Home. We Need Education. We Need Hope. Right now, we are not just fighting for survival—we are fighting for the chance to live, to grow, to dream again. We are fighting for a future where my brothers can become the doctor, the engineer, the child who gets to have a childhood.
💙 This is where you come in. I’m not asking for much—just a chance. A chance to rebuild, to give my brothers a future beyond war.
Your support, whether through a donation or simply sharing our story, can make all the difference. Even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of change.
🙏 Will you help us rebuild? Together, we can prove that war doesn’t get the final word—hope does. Thank you for standing with us. 💙✨

Please does anybody have the picture of the orange kitten sitting in front of old yellowed wood paneling and it’s smiling like this. The post where I saw it went something like “little kids before they learn how to smile in photos”
