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.

was drawing malik when i got that woy im the bad guy song stuck in my head? and yami isis au happened (if anyone has a better design……hit me up)

Spikey hair is usually the way yamis work but considering Ishizu is a woman and Kazuki probably wouldn’t have spiked her hair if she were possessed how about curly? Like this?

But your design is cute and sassy so I do enjoy it too.

Inktober Day 6 – Sword

Busy weekend = low effort chibi time sry

YES. THIS. This is precious in so many ways and I love it- but that also means their parents are all there in the audience. (So I am guessing. I know it says chibi but my mind is just like LOOK AT THESE LIL BABIES!)

I imagine Tristan’s folks are watching with ugly tears running down their faces proud of their lil boy and going to tell him so, thinking of him as a star even though he is just playing the role of a tree. This starts his love for costumes and beautification.

Anzu’s folks are quietly watching. They are equally proud of their tiny princess playing the role she was meant to be but also trying to pay everyone an equal share of their attention.

The Mutou boys are facing the dragon. Their mom sitting next to her father in the crowd. Solomon is doing his best to comfort his daughter who seems stuck thinking about her late husband and how he is missing out on this beautiful moment in their lives. Solomon is just trying to be certain she won’t miss out on it either and let her grief consume her like his once had when he lost his wife years prier.

Seto’s own folks are still alive. They are in the middle of the crowd and holding hands. The wife holding onto news to tell Seto he’s going to be a big brother soon after they both tell him what a fierce and mighty dragon he was.

Joey’s parents are in the back. His dad was late and has hints of booze on his breath. This is just the start of his drinking problem. Joey’s mom is also pregnant but further along. They don’t know how they are going to support their family but she has hope unlike the dad. After the play she will tell Joey he shouldn’t whack others with things and miss that the magician had ‘brought him to life’ to fight the dragon.

I’m sorry. I just have so many feels for this piece.
