I thought I’d type up this fun vaseshipping article for the Valentine’s day weekend. ;)

Years ago, I designed a vaseshipping necklace for myself, with an Atem and Mana charm surrounding a small gold heart with a flower in it (upcycled from an earring whose partner got lost).

However, at some point, I lost the heart charm. And so I decided to use the loss as an opportunity to create a completely new charm, and do some research on how ancient Egyptian depicted hearts. And to my absolute surprise, the concept of the ancient Egyptian heart was designed in the shape of a VASE with handles.

It’s believed that the design is based off the anatomy of an actual heart, where the handles represent the blood vessels that flow in and out of the heart. For ancient Egyptians, the heart was also basically more-or-less where the soul, thoughts, wills, emotions, and whatever makes you “you”, resided.

Chances are that, at first thought, you’ll find the idea as amusing and intriguing, considering that the Atem-Mana pairing is referred to as vaseshipping. Certainly the connection of vase = heart is cute. But let’s take the concept a bit deeper: Imagine the vase as a representation of the heart of vaseshippers, containing the souls of our two fabled characters, as well all the thoughts, emotions, and ideas of these two characters together.

[ Of course you other vaseshippers may have your own take on this. Feel free to share yours. :) ]

By the way, here is the updated necklace with the new heart charm.

My heart charm has a more flat bottom than your typical ancient Egyptian heart charm due to baking reasons. The (rather crudely done!) hieroglyphs on the heart charm translates to the verb mri “[to] love/desire/wish”. You can read it as
“Atem loves Mana” or “Mana loves Atem”, depending on the direction you “read” the charms.

Happy Valentine’s Day, vaseshippers. ;D

Absolutely devastated to hear about the news today. YuGiOh has been a major contribution to my life and to many others since childhood. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today and meet some of the kindest friends in life. Rest well, Kazuki Takahashi. Thank you for everything https://www.instagram.com/p/CftNsC0vR6X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So perhaps it is a day late, but I wanted to do a winter holiday-themed special for the vaseshipping paper doll set. I didn’t want to do the generic Santa-suit set as the idea is often overdone, so here’s something more unique: a “Yule Holly King” Atem and “Snow Queen” Mana.

Yes, I will be sharing this costume set on the merejet website sometime later on when I’m not busy. (EDIT) set now available in the freebie section. :)

Reblogging for the winter holiday season. ;)

Remember, the paper dolls (and a bunch of other gift freebies!) are available at the main merejet website (http://merejet.yolasite.com/freebies.php).

Vaccine Booster Headache gave me a Vaseshipping dream, whut? XD

Yeah, not kidding, I had vaseshipping dream after I went to bed early due to getting a headache from the COVID vaccine booster.

And darn this dream, albeit brief, was ridiculously cute.

So the basis of the dream was that Atem and Mana were in aged in their late 20s or 30s, living in ancient Egypt by some place near the Nile river by a set of palm trees and reeds where it was cool and breezy. Mana was still a mage, but Atem, for whatever reason my brain decided to make Atem a weapons-making master working at a forge for some reason.

And here Atem was, working at the forge indoors, making some kind of “master blade”, and Mana comes in with their really cute 5 year old daughter (who resembles Mana but with violet eyes) after a day of grocery shopping at the food market, and Atem is just way overjoyed to see his daughter and picks her up, and the daughter is just giggling at being picked up by her strong father.

Hey guys, long time no see. I thought I’d share this piano arrangement I did recently, I guess as sort of an apology for not being too active for over a year. It’s not vaseshipping-related, but it is Yu-Gi-Oh! related, so I guess it’s something you might enjoy. The song is “Shadow Games” from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie soundtrack.
