My Boy My Boy My Boy

whenever someone calls light yagami a psychopath i start frothing at the mouth.

“Light only won against L because he had two shinigami on his side”

Meanwhile those two shinigami in question:

Rem: I hate you, btw do anything I don’t want you to do and I’ll kill you, btw go get Misa out of jail somehow even though there’s physical evidence against her or I’ll kill you, btw if your plan takes too long I’ll kill you.

Ryuk: apel

death note au where everything is the same except light yagami wears earrings

Fellas, is it gay to be the last thing he sees when he dies.

i wish everyone who thinks light didn’t care about his family a very “read the fucking manga” :)

Maybe,

maybe adrigami is fine as long as she’s making adrien happy, right? RIGHT?!

hello i recently read time speaks by aSmallMoon333 on ao3 (@asmallmoon333 on tumblr too) and i fell in love with the story... this is not my usual style but i decided to make a small fanart of it 🤍

(close-ups of each life under the cut)

they're in order from life 1 through life 10 (with the exception of life 7).

i was on a "thinking about ryuk" kick earlier and. i get the appeal of saying he's the only one who sees light in his entirety — it makes perfect sense, he's the one who light monologues to about his grand plans, he's the one who light stays with practically 24/7 for five years — but i don't think it's completely true?

ryuk to me has this tendency to assume that light is straightforwardly malicious (see: he thinks light was lying when light says he'll avenge his father if soichiro ever gets killed by kira, he doesn't really get why light wants to do things like reveal his location to L until light explains he wants to eliminate L entirely, he takes the "i wish i had wings" thing seriously as though it's supposed to be part of light's Master Plan instead of a little quirk that light was clearly feeling vulnerable about, he's surprised when light isn't willing to kill sayu in the second arc). like there's real fondness for light in there as well, he congratulates light for getting into college for instance, but i don't really feel like ryuk has ever. understood him fully. he's trying, he gets better at it over time, but he does have a bias.

and i think, also, that this is because ryuk has another tendency to assume that light is just like him.

which makes sense, because light is the one who offers up "i was bored, too" as a genuine point of commonality between them. and then ryuk jumps to "you know, you'd make a really good shinigami!" and "hey light do you want the eyes" and then at the end "we eased each other's boredom for quite a while." he does notice when light is acting weird and tries to adjust his viewpoint (he goes ! when light starts doing his "i've never been so humiliated in my whole life" thing) but given that he only figures out light genuinely cares for his sister when he refuses to sacrifice her, after five years of watching this whole family dynamic, i don't think he ever actually gets there.

which is. sad. it's really goddamn sad. you know you're really fucked when even the demon haunting you can't figure you out
