I keep neglecting to post, but I do have a couple of inked things up (one entirely new): http://www.side7.com/lucky_ladybug66/gallery/
I wrote for Atem for the first time in years. I'm happy with how he came out. X3 I was told years ago that I wrote him woodenly, and when I read over old stuff recently, I saw it was true. XD; He always was very difficult for me. Recently, though, re-reading Pharaoh's Memory manga has really made the character come alive to me. I hope to attempt writing more for him in the future. X3
I think in the past, one of the only times I did not write him wooden was in Ballistic in Boston, where he had a "greater good" conflict. Yami Bakura, who was more of an anti-hero than a villain (as one can always expect in my fics), was being controlled by a force that caused him to go berserk and attack everyone. Atem was finally forced to kill him to break the control. ;__; He said he didn't want to do it, but had to for the greater good; there was no other choice.
Later, Yugi was held hostage by the crooks and Atem was given an ultimatum---save Yugi or save everyone else, basically. Then he was thrown into a quandary and ended up wondering if he had really killed Yami Bakura for the greater good or if his own dislike of the character had fueled his actions.
(And yes, Yami Bakura did make it back. XD; In my first timeline, he could make himself appear solid through the Millennium Ring and it was that form that Atem destroyed. So Yami Bakura possessed Bakura again for a while and then later on, apparently was able to use the Ring to make himself solid again. The Infinity Ring in my new timeline is similar, but with differences. He cannot revert to spirit form/go into the Infinity Ring, and if he is killed in that form, it is unlikely that he could simply utilize the Ring to help him make another.)
And Bakura is going to need to know at least a little bit of a language spoken during the Viking Age! **and found this interesting tidbit on the Scandinavian languages page.** In medieval times, speakers of all the Scandinavian languages could understand one another and they referred to it as a single language, called the "Danish tongue" until the 13th century in Sweden[6] and Iceland.[7] In the 16th century, Danes and Swedes still referred to North Germanic as a single language, which is stated in the introduction to the first Danish translation of the Bible and in Olaus Magnus' A Description of the Northern Peoples.
Is it conceivable Bakura could know a little bit of a Scandinavian tongue? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Germanic_languages It looks like it may need to be Icelandic, and if I remember correctly, that's the most difficult one.
Alternately, is there a different language in another country the Vikings conquered that Bakura might know a bit of?
