L telling yo mama jokes about Kira’s mom while silently daring Light to come to the defense of a woman he doesn’t even know, I mean it’s Kira’s mother, anyone who raised such a horrible murderer must be the worst parent in the world. I bet she’s ugly too. I bet she was lying when she told Kira how proud she was about his test scores

Light Yagami's fingers twitch around his coffee cup.

"I'm sorry," L says, "does this upset you?"

"Of course it doesn't upset me," Light says, smiling brightly. His eyes crease shut when he smiles. Windows of the soul: closed for today, come back tomorrow. "I'm just not sure what this has to do with catching Kira."

"Well, we are trying to profile Kira," L says. "Which includes his relationships with his parents. You called him an affluent child, yes?"

"Yeah."

"It would make sense for Kira's mother to be neglectful," L muses. "He has all of Mommy's money and none of her love. That would give anyone a chip on their shoulder."

"What, you think Kira has an inferiority complex? Why would he? You said it yourself, he thinks what he's doing is justice."

"An attempt to discipline the world," L says. "Perhaps as a reflection of a lack of his mother's gentle guidance?"

"Or his father's," Light says.

"…Go on."

Light's knuckles whiten. L very carefully does not smile. "I'm just saying, I don't know why you're focusing on his mom all of a sudden. It's not like it's the fault of parents when their children choose to become delinquent. Besides, there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of neglectful parents just in Tokyo. It won't narrow down our suspect pool—"

Ah, another trademark Light Yagami monologue. L decides to take the time to eat his cake.

"—and don't you think that it's unfair to say such things about a woman, even if she did raise a murderer?" Light crosses his arms. "Calling her ugly, really, Ryuga? That's kind of sexist."

L tucks his knees tighter to his chest in an attempt to increase his willpower enough to stop himself from cackling. "You think I'm sexist."

"It's not a personal attack," Light says. "But it's always good to reexamine your unconscious biases."

Well, he's wrong. L's biases are very conscious. For example, Light Yagami is absolutely Kira. "Thank you, Yagami-kun, I'll keep that in mind."

"You're welcome," Light says, heroically.

"I suppose that I should feel sorry for her, then."

"Sorry?"

"This poor, overworked woman who has her hands full taking care of such a spoiled child."

"Just because he's affluent doesn't mean he's spoiled," Light snaps.

"I can't imagine how heartbroken she would be to know her son was a murderer," L barrels on mournfully. "You're right, Yagami-kun. I should have empathized with her position. This must be very hard for her."

"I'm glad you're more in touch with women's struggles now, Ryuga." Light takes a sip of his coffee. His face is blank when he puts it down. "So about the profile for the actual murderer—"

"I still think she lied about the test scores, though," L says, and that's what gets Light to start screaming at him.

RATING LIGHT YAGAMI'S OUTFITS pt. 3

from the colored manga. bc you might need it in this hell of new year (part 1, part 2)

popular boy thinks about murder all day outfit. i like this one!! gosh, if only i can pull this outfit as good as he did. but let's be real here no one can ate this basic and boring outfit up like light yagami. he's just iconic like that. 9.5/10

lightplottin.jpg outfit. this outfit looks like L's lol. i love when light wears white sweatshirts bc i'd be like "hehe L". anyway, this man really love layers huh. if only he lived long enough to enjoy today's fashion. makes me feel like he's that type of person who'd tell you to wear a shirt underneath your sweater. 7.5/10

bury your weapon outfit. man. light yagami in tracksuits are just the best shit ever. black, too. not many paople can rock tracksuits as good as him. this one? hell yes. also i noticed in another panel that he's wearing an air force 1 instead of his regular shoes. he left no crumbs. 9.8/10

kira? in me? it's more likely than you think outfit. sorry about the title, i can't help it. he should wear this outfit for his oscar acceptance. it's not much going on other than drama and lies. 5.7/10

confinement outfit. it's a look. for being imprisoned, it is. and he's light yagami, too. so. 6.8/10

mock execution outfit. it's not like he can style it the way he like to wear clothes. he just got out of prison afterall. it looks like it's not his shirt lol. 1.6/10

punch your bestie outfit. ok but this look? this zipped shirt? the little stripes? it's good. though he had never worn something like this before. it makes me wonder if it's that kind of clothes in your closet that you don't like/don't fit your style but them your parent (in this case soichiro) pack it for you so you have to wear iy. does that make sense??? 8.2/10

working boy outfit. really basic. he pratically blends into the room and L. not much impression other than that tbh. this is like the popular boy outfit on top but like...less cool version. sorry. 4.5/10

gud boy outfit. colored manga, hey, what's up with that purple? i mean i always see it as grey/black instead of purple ngl but yeah. not a huge fan. 3.8/10

smart boy outfit. ngl i forget what he was doing during in this outfit, but it's pretty crucial. so let me name it that okay. i can almost feel the texture of this sweater and i don't like it! it feels kinda uncomfy. at least for me. not much comment other than that. 3/10

Death Note — Interpreting the Foot Scene

So, since I’ve never actually seen an in-depth meta on the foot scene, I thought this needs to happen. :) [read on ao3]

The Foot Scene

[Watch here] L and Light come inside from the rain, and Light sits on the stairs, his shoes sitting next to him on the ground. L stands to the side, with a towel on his head.

L: (walking over) Well, that was certainly an unpleasant outing. Light: (drying off his hair) It’s your own fault. I mean, what did you expect? L: (offscreen) You’re right. I’m sorry. (L takes the towel off of his head and walks closer. Light is still drying his hair and face, but then startles. You then see that L has crouched by Light’s feet and is holding one of Light’s feet in his hand.) Light: What are you doing? L: (looking up at him) I thought I might help you out. You were busy wiping yourself off anyway. Light: Look, it—it’s fine, you don’t have to do that. L: I can give you a massage as well. (Light looks startled) L: (offscreen, continued) It’s the least I can do to atone for my sins. I’m actually pretty good at this. (Light glances away, looking resigned) Light: Fine, do what you want. L: (offscreen, in tones of someone getting down to business) All right. (Now you see L, looking pensive. He brings his hand, holding the towel, up to Light’s foot. Light makes a pained noise and the scene cuts to a wide shot.) Light: Hey! L: You’ll get used to it. (Light, in a close-up, looks utterly thrown, but makes a small noise of assent. The shot changes to L, where all you can see, with his head down, is the mess of his hair. A drop of water drips from the end of his hair, the sound clearly distinct in the otherwise silent scene [there’s been no music or anything]. The shot then changes to Light’s foot, and you hear as well as see the droplets from L’s hair landing on Light’s foot. The shot changes to Light, watching L who is now offscreen. He reaches over to grab his own towel and brings it over to L’s face. The shot is now on L in profile.) Light: (drying L’s hair) Here. You’re still soaked. (As Light’s hand retreats, L looks up, and then back down.) L: (quietly) I’m sorry. (soft piano music now begins. L starts drying off Light’s foot again. When the shot goes back to Light, he looks pensive too. There’s silence for some time, barring the music, as the shot changes back to L in profile, looking somewhat distressed. Then back to a wide shot in profile that rises toward the ceiling and the windows letting in natural light. After that, the view changes to the ceiling and its cross-shaped walkways with blue lighting above it, and then back to a wide shot of L and Light, this time facing the stairs.) L: (thoughtful, quiet) It’ll be lonely, won’t it. Light: Hm? (L looks up at Light pointedly and determined. With the shot head on, he says) L: You and I will be parting ways soon. (Light seems thoughtfully startled by this point, and looks perhaps like he’s considering something or is struck by the situation and stuck in the moment. The phone then rings, pulling them out of it, L stands up and answers the phone.) L: Yes? (Now the shot shows L in the foreground, with Light giving him a dark look in the background). L: I understand. I’m on my way. Light: (still glaring at L, baffled) Huh? (Now the shot is a wide shot again, and both their bodies are cut off since the shot is from behind them on the stairs). L: Come on. Let’s go, Light. (Closer in on L, with his back to the viewer) It seems like it’s all worked out. (He walks away.) (The shot changes back to Light’s baffled and angry face as he too stands up). Light: huh?

Basically, L is thoughtful, sad, and a bit smug, while Light is just: ?????
