Found in his tomb and all

with coriander????

Atem is a bread guy

that's decided

I also know beer was super common as drink but since I have a rather uncomfortable relationship with alcohol? I'm just going to go 'he doesn't like the taste' period

oh....kaz got it right...

he lists favorite foods for a lot of the characters and you can find them on the profiles in yugipedia for the manga versions

oooooh

where yami yugi/atem's favorite is listed as like. an egyptian flatbread-with-falafel dish

i am Unsure falafel or something similar was a thing in ancient egypt but eh

.....very amusing though: tkb's LEAST favorite food is canonically chickpeas. i thought it was a texture thing but IS IT SPITE???

"THE PHARAOH LOVES THIS, SO I HATE IT"???? horrible. horrible man. i love him. what a dork

LOL

'Ah, yes, chickpeas, a STAPLE of our community and I choose to HATE them'

I find it interesting to read about barley cultivation too. And Felafel wasn't probbaly a thing but there were plenty of similar-ish things?

nod nod

Atem was apparently big into legumes as a whole if we go by tut's tomb

SO he probably ate plenty of similar stuff?

again, staples, yeah! are you gonna make him into chariots, weren't there a bunch of chariot things in that tomb too

"i love racing it's a game"

Atem: GOD if I'm stuck here PLEASE let me have games (But he won't say that out loud, he has a reputation to defend)

on the food thing meanwhile ishizu's favorite food is a dessert and the idea of her hitting the world above full-time and discovering she has a sweet tooth, which she indulges in moderation, is so cute?

I also can't find it if Tut had to do the opening of the mouth ceremony for his father but as I write down 'things that make sense for him' I'm going with 'yes' (no ceremony for him, no body. Lucky Set)

yeah

Also apparently bread sweetened with honey too

set, seething, his work is UNFINISHED. he thinks he'll fast forward thousands of years and play a card game abou----WHAT IS THAT SMALL BOY DOING, OPENING THE PHARAOH'S MOUTH WITH CARD GAMES INSTEAD

I kind of want to have in his memories that it was Set (and another elder priest) who taught him how to perform the ceremony. Hence Atem respecting the elder man (well, probably a teen back then)

Like, each one of his six chosen people (well, beside mister 'MY SON SHaLL BE PHARAOH) having something special in terms of bond with him. A shared moment or two that, despite being formal and appropriate for age and status, had him trust them deeply

it's possible a bunch of them would have gone to Noble Prep Preschool with him, they're about the right ages

not set because he showed up later but

Mahad and Isis probaly did

oh mahad is the newest priest! we know mahad's story

the first guy to have the ring died and everybody was like "wow this ring absorbed so much evil" and then they heard about this magician with bonkers heka elsewehre so he was recruited specifically to nerf the ring

but set didn't know that so all he sees is the new guy "sucking" (the new guy is putting in hella effort behind the scenes)

Oh, yeah. Man I did a cnaon review and I still mess things up

OH BTW when I have time-

203 doesn't work but I have almost the entire thing (episodes 3, 8 and 203 are broken)

ehehehe NICE, prepare for that to contradict a bunch of what i said above

OH I KNOW AND FULLY EXPECT THAT

sometime when we are both online i can stream the ones you're missing for you! i have a subscription for the subtitles

I mean, in the anime we had even Seto in Egypt

yeah

Oh I'd like that! God knows I need time off and fortunately enough tomorrow i get to rest

the anime probably: "nobody's going to watch this without seto kaiba!"
seto kaiba probably: "....they do have a point."

alas i work tomorrow, but when i am on i'll ping you and we can see if anything overlaps?

gosh if you're doing the anime you get to see isis have a crush on mahad, which means thousands of years later ishizu gets the dokis from dark magician. i do not incorporate this into my own portrayal but i do find it very, very funny

1) we can't have a woman who isn't romantically interested in the male cast!!! gosh
2) one person with a crush on a trading card wasn't enough for them apparently

I have two days off before a string of working days so maybe we can work something out?

oh excellent!!!

I love that yugioh (at least until the end of GX, I barely watched anything after) have VERy gay-themed leads but somehow girls are basically only their love interests to some degree

JUSTICE FOR MAI AND ANZU

And gosh someone tell Atem reincarnated Set has a crush on 'his main spirit' so he can question Set crushing on Duos

duos is swole, no judgment

"I do not understand romantic affection, it is uninportant for a Pharaoh, but I do under- what do you mean he likes a lizard?"

Feeding King Tut

OOOOOOOOOOOO

oooooooo

Bless Tasting History

I'm gonna watch that

also looping WAY back to "beer as a staple" it was REALLY REALLY LOW in alcohol content iirc! it was basically like drinking your bread instead

i also have a complicated relationship with alcohol but the beer in egypt was not the kind you could get sloshed on unless you were REALLY trying. they had wine for that

if that helps any

I am aware. it also had a more fruity taste and it was fermented differently? I only did a summary read but I am still more comfortable having my characters not drink alcohol

nod nod nod

I should rp And I WILL but before that I will finish watching that and draw a stupid meme

stupid meme important.

I can't draw atem's hair.......... mee will have to wait

i struggle with it too lol. i usually draw the B A L D head, do the lower bangs, and then start with the middle point and make a weird star before adding the upward bangs.
