I think after tomorrow, I’m going to try to draw someone else besides Bakura.  Maybe a character I kinda sorta liked from design but not personality, but may be growing on me?

Perhaps some Malik…Marik??? What does this fandom call them anyway?!  I know “Mariku” or “kek’ is for Yami Marik, yes? What about the hikari? What tag am I suppose to use?!

Tell me your head canons or requests of Marik-Malik I dont know, -throws hands up- NAMU!!  I’ll post more draw memes Sunday evening.

@mxlik Please help me, you must know! What do people use?

The thing is Marik IS Malik in every sense of the word. Marik is everything Malik ever wanted to be, could be, and hoped to become. (Not necessarily a murderer but free, confident, strong, and so very much alive and allowed to do anything he wanted with no limitations.)
But since he still had lingering feelings for his father he could not kill him but his hatred was too strong. That with the lifestyle he had growing up that he came to loath combined with the dark ritual carved into his back, this allowed an outlet that allowed Marik to be. You see, they are still the same person and that is why even the other characters in the show are always saying “Malik’s dark half” and not any other name.

As for the fans though, well we were sick of saying “Malik’s dark half” when writing fanfiction or roleplaying that we decided since Malik was a real name as well as the name given to him in Japanese that it would belong to the one who was there first and seen as the good side.
Marik was the dub name and we all liked it because it was nice and easy to say but it still looked very similar to Malik in written works so half of us adopted adding a u to the end and took to calling him Mariku since it was easier to spot and tell the difference.

The newer fans to this great fandom though seem to find that silly or have no idea of our ancient ways so they took to calling him other names and calling Malik by the name Marik because that is the way of the Abridged series for when it came out years later.

I hope this was informative.

As for headcanons- well, that depends on what you are looking for and if it is shippy or not.

This was an old sketch that I did last year’s Halloween that didn’t get made. XD

Kek has always been scared (And excited) to see Ryou in his Halloween Hype Mode.

I love that it went from Mariku being terrified on his first Halloween and seeing Ryou that jazzed over something to it being the next year and Mariku is just scaroused.

Bakura always had trouble sleeping no matter how late he would stay up, he just could not seem to stay down longer than an hour at best. Nightmare visions dancing behind his eyelids that would also pull his troubled mind further into unease.
Nothing ever helped. Calming tea, warm milk, Zzzquil… nothing.
Knowing Bakura had troubles sleeping, the often vengeful spirit, Marik, decided to stay up as well. His own troubles sleeping quite different as he always thought of it as something only the weak needed, thus he agreed to stay up and watch b list horror movies on Netflix. There was just something appealing about watching fictional people get murdered in hilarious ways be it by large pythons, fish with razor teeth, or just other men wielding knives, it did not matter. The big tiddied blondes were always amusing to watch them scream and die so slowly along side their bland casted other victims.
But something strange happened. by the fifth movie Marik realized there was an odd weight on his shoulder. A mess of soft silver in his face as he turned his head to see what was going on. 
“Bakura?” No response. Marik moving a little to get a better look only to feel the other shift and lay more against his form. “You okay?” Soft murmurings as an arm reached over his lap and the pale face nestled more against his rest. 
Was he-? Yes. Bakura had fallen asleep. Ha, weak fool… But then again, Bakura looked peaceful. Maybe…. Maybe there wasn’t something so bad with being weak every now and again. 
A soft snore coming from the slumbering thief that drew a smile on the Ishtar’s face. 
Yeah. It was kind of nice having someone let their guard down around him for once. Besides, Bakura never looked more peaceful… Shame the sun was coming up and probably going to take this from him but for the time being… all was well with the world.

Reblogging since it’s cute and I still like my fic I made inspired by it.
