sun ain't gonna shine anymore, moon ain't gonna rise in the sky

[aefallen]

One day, I will explain exactly how the conduct of litigation is exactly like a game of Duel Monsters, or Magic: The Gathering, or any combat-oriented card game, really, with the first player as the Plaintiff and the second player as the Defendant, and instead of shouting, "IT'S MY TURN!" the parties go, "IT'S MY TURN... TO SERVE INTERROGATORIES

With you as Pharaoh, I’m going to have to do everything in this kingdom!”

You almost made me like Seth. *grin!*

That line is so perfect.

Atem is the sun, after all, but even that sun must set sometime, and the moon rise to take its place.

♥!

I have such a weak spot for anything related to ancient Egypt! xD Adding references to the sun and the moon (♥!) to add just makes me go *____* even more...? *laughs!*

I really liked this! I learned a lot in those 800-ish words! xD I didn't know Seto was meant to be Set until now, either! *facepalm!*

[aefallen]

I keep meaning to clean up the Egypt scans for you so you can see how awesome Ancient Egypt!Atem and Seth and everyone else is, but work keeps getting in the way! Arghhhh!

Seth is actually not unlikeable in the manga. He's extremely loyal to Atem when he doesn't need to be, and stays loyal to him despite people going, "HERE! HAVE POWER! TAKE IT, IT'S YOURS! Be the Pharaoh!" and Seth is D: I WILL NOT SELL MY SOUL TO EVIL.

In the YGO manga, Mokuba and Kaiba - who are brothers - are very loyal to each other, the sort of I'll-do-anything-for-you kind. It makes me wonder whether, if Seth knew that he was Atem's cousin, whether they have been as close. Unlikely, but I like to imagine.

... I read the Wikipedia entry on Horus while doing research, and my brain broke in a thousand places

[little_ribbon]

I already think Atem is awesome! xD I can be patient...? No worries! Work > YGO, unfortunately! (IT DRIVES ME JUST AS INSANE AS IT DOES YOU! GAAH! I have so many comments I still need to reply to!) *pat pat!*

Seth is actually not unlikeable in the manga.

This s-surprised me. O.o; You do make him sound very likeable... I'm going to have to change the way I think about him, then? I originally thought he'd be just like Kaiba. *grin!* I don't really like Kaiba very much (...only when he is being Yami's indignant uke do I like him? IT IS PROBABLY OOC! xD).

I KNEW MOKUBA IS KAIBA'S LITTLE BROTHER! *beams with pride!* Maybe if Seth had known they were related things would have been a little different... I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THEM. MUST FIND OUT MORE. MOAAAAR. O.o;

... Set is the one who poked out Horus' eye, isn't he? xD I know more about Greek gods and myths, unfortunately. I like Egyptology better, though. It's just that there is SO MUCH OF IT, and it is like reading kyou_kara_maou: "SET WAS TOTALLY GAY WITH HORUS!" vs. "CONRAD REALLY LOVES

GUESS WHAT SWEETIE ;D

[aefallen]

Atem is REALLY awesome. ♥ I love him so much. It's kind of weird: I adore Yuugi, and I adore Atem, but somehow Yami... I don't like so much. *laughs* I LOVED Yami when he was CRAZY and just came out of the puzzle, but then he started becoming nicer and then I was, "BORING DESU NO." I get my nice from Yuugi. I WANT SOMETHING ELSE from the OTHER him

Oh Atem ;;

have my heartbreak icon~

[aefallen]

Your icon is so pretty! And so emo! ♥ I love it. IT'S NAMI FROM ONE PIECE?! (had to check your icon tag, couldn't recognise it: heeeeey you recoloured your default icon?)

I know, omg. Even in my AU his is not a happy ending.

... it seems to fit better, somehow.

[ningen_demonai]

ISN'T IT. I found it and was all "Omg. Nami. ♥!" Loev One Piece. T^Tb (Yeah, I recently got Photoshop, and kinda went crazy with it. 8D)

Poor dear Pharaoh. ;;

Well, Atem kinda has an emo past. :(

[aefallen]

If I were the one using the icon I would be tagging it "Pretty When You Cry" because I'm just WRONG that way. :)

(It's pretty! And well-done for you being relatively new to it! :) I've always meant to ask, who is she? I always logically deduced she must be Renge, but she looks so... different, if so?)

True! Poor Pharaoh. I want to make things better for him! ... even if they do end the same way, but it's a HAPPIER ending? ... a little?

XDXDXD I LOVE THE EMO PAST. ♥ *is sadist at heart*

[red_sephira]

Lol, I never noticed that YGO could actually fit into a litigation thing. Now that I think about it ... YOU'RE RIGHT OMG XD

The jumping comment made me lol--do you want the sun, moon, and stars on the way down? And you say it with a smile?! Oh, my. x3

I liked the little ficlet. I haven't visited the YGO fandom in ... FOREVER. Like, what, four years or five at least? Man, that brings back memories. And, as usual, your icons make my little inner fangirl squeal with joy x3

[aefallen]

XDXDXD One day if and when I have time I will totally FIT THE RIGHT LEGAL TERMS into YGO manga and SHOW THE WORLD THAT IT WORKS. :D Hee! I'm so happy to know that you agreed and it's not just me going crazy with analogy here

[whisperinghope]

I don't know anything about lawyers (besides Phoenix Wright and John Grisham ;; ) but the moon and the stars made me laugh!

A-also drabble wins! I really liked the symbolism t-though it reminds me oddly of Saiyuki which also uses the sun moon symbols in dealing with the Sanzos :c

Andandand When it all falls apart, someone has to be left to pick up the pieces, put them back together, and carry on. I really liked this line and how it reminds me of the Millennium Puzzle and that the Puzzle is the symbol of the Pharaoh a-and... stuff? \o;;;\

[aefallen]

*grin* I am torn between wanting to like Phoenix Wright and wanting to throw the game out of the window. This horrible compulsion of wanting to yell YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! at the game just seizes me way too many times. Many of my friends-in-law have the same feeling about this game. I only know one friend-of-a-friend who is in the profession and likes it

[whisperinghope]

Wrong as in... the method everything's been carried out and so on? I remember reading in passing that Phoenix Wright had things like witnesses not charged with perjury even though it was obvious they were lying...

Miles Edgeworth is the Prosecutor XD;; Phoenix Wright or, uh, Naruhodo Ryuichi as in the Japanese version, I think.

Yep, there is/are more than one Sanzos. Er. If I remember correctly, there are five sutras; the main Sanzo actually carries two, so there should be three others... But one was supposedly killed and the other is supposedly evil and I-I have no idea anymore XD But Sanzo's master had likened himself to the 'day' and someone else to be the 'night' and quite a fair bit here and there about sun and moons~ (BUT YES, ANGST + VERY WRONG + GREAT STUFF = SAIYUKI. The reason for their journey is even better, because the 'Goddess of Mercy' thought it would make things interesting XD )

Oh hee~ Intended or not (better that it was!) I think it's awesome~ ♥
