Old doodles from last year that I forgot to post…

In other news,

Normal service has been resumed.

 I have a two-week break from hell school. I can finally draw some sinful and problematic crap and answer asks with quality replies.

I wanna know how the rp went! Does he tell him? Is it Mariku? Does Malik lose his shit and stare blankly because no one has ever flirted with Mariku or if they had he just took it as a compliment he didn’t ask for?

While I do love Melvin from YGOTAS, please do not refer to Marik as that in my work. I was going for canon as I love that so much more because I adore how dark Marik can get.

I know a lot of you like the sillier and more cartoonish characterization of the abridged version and I totally respect that, but please, please stop saying that I am out of character. I am not. You are confusing canon with a delightful fanmade series.

Side note: I have been calling the darker half of the youngest Ishtar, Marik way before YGOTAS was a thing and made the shift to Melvin and the hikari from Malik to Marik so…. yeah. I am gonna keep calling my favorite half Marik or Mariku till I die unless doing Abridged related things/references…. so don’t expect me to change that any time soon. 

tl;dr: To me Marik = Yami side. Malik = Hikari side. That’s not gonna change for me any time soon.

CONSPIRE SANDWICH

(Based on this fanart )

Marik looks like he is internally screaming as he holds up the weight of everyone else yet keeps on a smile because these are his now.
Bakura though is breaking under the pressure.
Malik is being carried like a king so all is well on his end.
Ryou… Well, I think he’s just realizing where he is and wondering how he got up there.

They are so precious~ Kind of want to hold Marik’s cape to make sure he doesn’t somehow trip over it and drop everyone. XD

Okay. I’ve had this thought come to me several times so I want to share it with the fandom just to see the reaction on this idea.

What if Marik (Yami Malik) was actually the good side of Malik?

“But Terra, that’s not right! You called him Yami Malik just a second ago! And-”

Hear me out. 

Malik

  • Has killed many people
  • Lied countless times
  • Tortured his Rare Hunters for failing him
  • Stolen rare/priceless items
  • Left out key bits of information out in an attempt to dupe his allies
  • Kidnapped people
  • Saw himself as faultless 
  • Blamed anyone he could for his own wrongs
  • Was a contributor to the Black Market
  • Threatened his sister if she tried stopping him again
  • Mind controlled dozens of people
  • Cheated his way to the finals in Battle City
  • Contracted Bakura into trying to destroy his body because if he couldn’t have it no one could so… Attempted assisted suicide  

Marik

  • Killed one known person
  • Tortured those who dueled him but allowed punishment to be returned, keeping it fair
  • Did attempt to kill the rest of his family
  • Refuses to give up control over the body he inhabits
  • Only plays high stake games where the loser will most likely die
  • Was actively willing to kill anyone who got in his way of revenge

That’s about it…  I’m sure there is more but honestly… Malik’s negative qualities are greater than Marik’s from what I have seen over the years.
Marik is polite and greets people cheerily. Sure, he plays hard but all of his games have always been fair. He goes in knowing he can die but he believes in himself so much that he doesn’t see himself as able to lose. He is the embodiment of overkill and thus is one tough cookie to beat.

Malik though, the supposed weak/lighter half, lied at every turn and cheated in every single duel he was ever part of and everyone who wasn’t him that lost was always punished for failing him.

Yes, he shows change in the very end but up until that very tipping point… He was clearly the dark/evil half.
