AU. KIRA'S KINGDOM: FOR WHAT IS [COLUMBIA] IF NOT ANOTHER ARC ... FOR ANOTHER TIME??
alternate ending for death / kira wins. after conquering the SPK, putting down the task force, and moving forward as the god of the new world, kira has dominated globally. his influence has spread to every major and minor country around the world. fanatics and the fearful live in every major city, small village, and moderate town that has access to current events. even by spread by mouth, kira's word is law.
post-winning, yagami focuses on restructuring tokyo as the first major city to come under construction of his will, his grace, and his glory. this is where you can find "kira's house", which is located in the heart of the city. taking over the red light district first, kira culled the city and cleansed its people.
eventually, all of tokyo becomes "a new city" / "a new arc for a new time" as a display to show the world what it will become under kira's guidance.
earth will become the new eden, but for now, his city is as close as you will get to heaven ... until judgment day (his and beyond). in his lifetime, kira sees the construction of his new city to completion, as well as the conquering of other cities nearby, spreading through japan before he dies. his followers — and his heir — continue his work throughout the rest of the world.
lots of statues dedicated to kira, lots of religious imagery, and lots of apples. no one quite understands why, as many assume it's a christian reference, but the apple becomes the central "mascot" almost. it's used everywhere, even as pins for brooches and such. if you see someone with an apple brooch, you know they're a loyalist, and likely live in kira's kingdom.
at current, kira's kingdom is the primary operating source for kira, as well as the mountainous range nearby. there is a stronghold there of cult members, where most of this originated from. you can see this cult at the end of the death note manga.
there is still trade, commerce, and business. it functions as a city. lots of places for worship, plenty of gardens, and places to eat, shop, and socialize. candles everywhere.
his heir: born from kira's flesh and blood, kept in a tower near kira house until they are ready to cleanse the world in fire and ash.

yagami being a very consistent character while also being a very duality based character, thus making it difficult to say one way or the other for most things because i could argue for either and feel justified, it’s hard to give examples off the cuff, but for example i could argue he’s a virgin or he’s not, and i could argue examples or traits of him to justify each (if that makes sense). kind of a pointed example, but i think that it’s a good one to use. 
on one hand one, he has no problem having relationships and partners, even if he does not always feel things authentically, he does have the capability to project these feelings that he should have externally. he is a human being, in his prime, still going through the tail end of puberty when we first meet him, and has no problems with his body or confidence. i personally do not see light on the asexual spectrum, but perhaps on an aromantic leaning one. if he were demiromantic, it would be difficult to say if that could still even be a possibility. this isn’t to say aromantic people are cruel like him, i just think that he happens to fit an emotional dissonance that is hard to label, but there is a heavy combination of narcissism that we have to accept, and that’s mostly him, not his interests. 
on the other hand, we could argue that he sees no one as good enough for him, especially not to be “the first.”
i will also acknowledge the quote that ohba is noted for of saying that light could not romantically love a woman. i think this is partially taken a bit out of context, as well as the japanese language have little gender specifications in their language (my wife’s boss struggled with pronouns when speaking english because it’s just not the same in japan). you could take a man that is attracted to women and pursues them, that sleeps with women and actively seeks them out, but you would say that he does not have the capability to love women. even as someone who headcanons yagami to be on the rather bisexual spectrum, i think his relationships with men and women are complicated in their own right. 
he sees men as very much a competition, while women he just has a very overly traditional and generally very poor view of. i have mentioned he has thought of using physical violence towards men and women, but specifically the examples that stand out (to me) are the ones towards naomi and misa. yes, all of his relationships in the romantic realm, and eventually in the social realm, are all to make him seem normal when having the death note. but he was sort of actively doing the same thing before the death note, at least socially, and ohba confirms heh as the ability to love his family and friends, we see how there is a degradation of how he interacts with others. he stops seeing his friends entirely, for example, and one even has joined the police force. 
there is so much to be said for yagami, but so many things that could truly just be both. i have to make decisions, but i try to make the best guesses i can based on what we get both “out of character” from ohba and “in character” in the canon of death note.

after making the exchange, everything changed. he sees the numbers, the names —— he sees red. it hadn't taken him long to crack the code ... to figure out what the numbers actually mean. the demon had been no help. ryuk only serves yagami's will when it serves ryuk's best interests ... that, and a few apples never hurt.
he likes being spoiled, yagami has considered. like a dog that can talk. only then, you find out that after all this time, it's had nothing to say ... tch.
right now, yagami's staring above the head of his companion over lunch. he sees the name, the numbers, and the outline of the other's visage. it had taken a while, and certainly, the lack of color is jarring still, but he's rather used to this new worldview. it's helped him immensely thus far.
❝ so, how have you been? sorry it's taken me so long to go out with you. i've been pretty busy lately with, well, everything. finals are basically all i've been able to focus on lately. ❞ liar.
eyes divert from the string of text above the crown of the head to make direct eye contact. for a moment, a trick of the light seems to gleam over his constricting pupils, diluting brown to a brilliant scarlet. then, just as fast, the facade fades. he places his elbow on the table casually, resting his chin against the palm of his hand to support the weight of his head and neck. he's leaning forward, attempting to feign interest with a high level of believability and charm.
❝ and with my sister being in high school now, she needs more tutoring than ever it feels like. [ sigh ] but i'm glad we're doing this. now you can fill me in on everything that's been going on recently. ❞ his free hand touches the handle of his coffee cup idly. ❝ well? what have i missed?? ❞ // * @heartsabyss liked for a starter !!

❝ when you asked to play against me today, did you know how good i was? ❞ he tries not to sound cocky. ❝ i was just curious if you knew anything about my career or not before today ... ? either way, thanks for playing with me today. it was ... fun. it's been a while since i was actually challenged. ❞ and it's given him a lot to think about. // * @historias-multorum liked for a starter !!

consider: goro and yagami making a deal —— yagami's request? immortality. he considered something similar to the eyes, but the people act as his eyes now. that, and his few trusted souls (such as mikami, although ... their relationship is strained, and takada? he easily betrayed). goro's payment? nothing much ... just a page of the death note.

circe sentence starters
by madeline miller. i altered some quotes so they fit better  ♡
❝  my father has never been able to imagine the world without himself in it.  ❞ ❝  there is a twisting feeling in my chest, like cloth being wrung dry.  ❞ ❝  the grudges of the gods are as deathless as their flesh.  ❞ ❝  it was my first lesson. beneath the smooth, familiar face of things is another that waits to tear the world in two.  ❞ ❝  you think just because you are a daughter of the sun, you may uproot the world to please yourself.  ❞ ❝  even the best iron grows brittle with too much beating.  ❞ ❝  fear of failure is the worst thing for any spell.  ❞ ❝  those who fight against prophecy only draw it more tightly around their throats.  ❞ ❝  did you smile a little?

 ❞ ❝   in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth.  ❞ ❝  i can bend the world to my will, as a bow bent for an arrow.  ❞ ❝  will you do me the honor of dining with me?  ❞ ❝  i know what we owe you. what i owe.  ❞ ❝  i’m afraid i might have floated on, believing those dull memories were all there was, until the end of days.  ❞ ❝  do not be too happy. it will bring down fire on your head.  ❞ ❝  you are a poison snake, and i am another, and on such terms we please ourselves.  ❞ ❝  your words are like a secret. a thing that looks like stone, but inside is a seed.  ❞ ❝  you cannot know how frightened gods are of pain. there is nothing more foreign to them.  ❞ ❝  bold action and bold manner are not the same.  ❞ ❝  a golden cage is still a cage.  ❞ ❝  i am surprised to see you so plain after such boasting.  ❞ ❝  your voice is like balm upon my raw skin.  ❞ ❝  does no one have the courage? will no one dare to face me?  ❞ ❝  those who love me a little do not care to say.  ❞ ❝  it is easily to speak so open with you. your face is like a quiet pool that will hold everything safe in its depths.  ❞ ❝  humbling women seems to me a chief pastime of poets. as if there can be no story unless we crawl and weep.  ❞ ❝  you are weak and blind, and it is worse because you choose it.  ❞ ❝  you can teach a viper to eat from your hands, but you cannot take away how much it likes to bite.  ❞ ❝  i should have known you would be good for nothing to me.  ❞ ❝  gold does not give back a life.  ❞ ❝  it is funny, that even after all this time, you believe you will be rewarded, just because you have been obedient.  ❞ ❝  i have done your work for you, and all you give me is mockery and contempt.  ❞ ❝  where would you go, if you might escape?  ❞ ❝  you are right. this world is a wild and terrible place, and worth shouting at.  ❞ ❝  i cannot bear this world a moment longer.  ❞ ❝  i owe you nothing. you will have of me only what i want to give.  ❞ ❝  however gold you shine, do not forget your fire.  ❞ ❝  that is what you desire most of all: to drive others into doubt, keep them wondering and fretting, stumbling behind your dancing feet.  ❞ ❝  sorry that you thought i was weak, but you were wrong.  ❞ ❝  trickery is for cowards, men not bull-necked enough to show true courage.  ❞ ❝  i have a little pride. if they do not weep, i will not either.  ❞ ❝  you have as many coils as a snake, and an eye always to your advantage.  ❞ ❝  i want the sun to burn me. i want it to scorch me to the bone.  ❞ ❝  what of me? shall i rot?  ❞ ❝  how long would i cling to that handful of minutes, trying to cover myself as if with some threadbare blanket?  ❞ ❝  i have been old and stern for so long, carved with regrets and years like a monolith. but that is only a shape i’ve been poured into. i do not have to keep it.  ❞ ❝  i am not weak. and i will never be sorry not to be like you.  ❞ ❝  you draw me in as if you are winding up a thread.  ❞ ❝  the fragility of mortals breeds kindness and good grace.  ❞ ❝ come, there are blankets here, laid for you upon the soft grass. ❞ ❝ there will be no songs made for you. no stories. you will live a life of obscurity. you will be without a name in history. you will be no one. ❞ ❝ those heroes. you should see the look on their faces when i run straight for them. ❞ ❝ those who fight against prophecy only draw it more tightly around their throats. ❞ ❝ see? we do not need anyone. ❞ ❝ have you not always insisted on being difficult in everything you do? ❞ ❝ you cannot think of it. it will only torment you. ❞ ❝ and that is the least of my powers. ❞ ❝ you are lucky i do not kill you where you stand. ❞ ❝ you do not understand the dangers that wait for you in the world. ❞ ❝ your threats are crude. i had hoped we might discuss this reasonably. ❞ ❝ you showed me your scars, and in return you let me pretend that i had none. ❞ ❝ my whole life, i have waited for tragedy to find me. ❞ ❝ it is not for such as you to question my purpose. ❞ ❝ i felt a weariness in me so great i thought i would sink into the earth. ❞ ❝ have patience, your strength will come in time. ❞ ❝ you have never understood how strong i am. ❞ ❝ you do not know what i can do. ❞ ❝ i have said all i will say. do not ask me again. ❞ ❝ perhaps no parent can truly see their child. when we look we see only the mirror of our own faults. ❞ ❝ i cannot bear this world a moment longer. ❞ ❝ there is no profit in chasing riddles of the fates. ❞ ❝ why can you not be more peaceful?

IN LOVE AND WAR, EVERYTHING GOES. a sentence meme based around the subject of allies, enemies, war and enemies to lovers and more of the same tropes we all love. change pronouns, names and locations as you see fit. these are all scrambled around.
“Friends ask you questions; enemies question you.”
“You can live safe and be protected by people just like you, or you can stand up and be a leader for what is right.”
“Where do we find allies?"
“War created bizarre allies, while peace itself could be divisive.”
“I promise you, nothing will happen to you.”
“I choose my allies carefully and my enemies more carefully still.”
“People fight wars over ideas.” 
“Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please.”

“These violent delights have violent ends."
“Men without morals are dangerous beasts.”
“The spiteful, little stars.”
“Death is real. Death is inevitable. Death comes when you're not ready for it. Be ready.”
“I was alive, but I wasn’t living. You took things from me. My soul―my heart.”
“You’re supposed to keep your enemies close. Therefore, it stands to reason that your sworn enemy should be kept closest.”
“When will you see I'm not your enemy, but your weapon. Wield me.”
“Can’t even get out of my grasp? Or is it because you secretly don’t want to?”
“Why are you confessing all of your crimes?”Are you trying to get hit?”
“You're a hero and I'm a monster. There's only one way that story ever ends.”
"Tell me you came to find me. That you changed your mind."
"How--how can you even say such things,on an evening you are meant to choose another as your bride?"
"My sweet nemesis, how glad I am that you returned."
"I hate you so much that sometimes I can't think of anything else.”
“The road for hell for me is paved with everything I would do for you, and that list never ends.”
“You have consumed my thoughts since the moment I met you."
“You have no idea what I could give you."
“If you mean to take me captive, you need only ask. I would come willingly.”
“I see you truly for everything you are and everything you will be and I claim you as mine.”
“I don't think I've ever met anyone as vexing as you."
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
“A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.”
"We're on opposite sides, you know."
"You're the one claiming we're all villains. There's no black or white, only gray area. We can coexist somewhere in the middle, can't we?”
“A man with no enemies is a man with no character.”
“I smile to myself knowing that they may be dead.”
“I like your savage brutality."
"That's a poetic observation, coming from such a savage creature.”
"And you are mine, Victor Nox. whether you agree is irrelevant.”
“Bitter people are not interested in what you say, but what you hide.”
“Enemies can't break your spirit, only friends can.”
“In order to know your enemy, you must become your enemy.”
“Such a pretty face, but so weak and emotional. Just a regular man, after all.”

SENTENCE MEME BALDUR'S GATE 3 / PART THREE
i heard what happened.
thank you for protecting the child.
we can risk violence here or face it for certain on the road.
a low thought, but i'd be lying if i said i hadn't considered it.
i'm not some murderer for hire.
to get these people to safety, there's nothing i won't do.
if your people survived that, they'll survive anything.
it's unusual for them to organize so cleverly.
you're equal to the task.
try not to keel over with the first blade drawn.
might not look it, but we're tough.
there's optimism and then there's stupid.
how are you going to take my gold if you're dead?
just leave the gold on my corpse.
i wish we could at least give them a proper burial.
gold ain't any use if you're too cold to spend it.
you're giving up?
you should leave it, or destroy it.
at best it's worthless. at worst, who knows.
do not trifle with that moon witch or her trinkets.
only trouble will follow.
we've enough troubles and burdens as it is.
perhaps you can sell that for a couple of coins.
i should pluck your eyes out.
a cursed book? how obvious.
this quarrel sours our feast.
be you friend or food?
am i not astonishing?
i am by all accounts a student of higher commerce and extortion.
it's not what it looks like, i swear.
i wasn't going to hurt you.
i can't believe i didn't see it.
i'm not some monster.
why didn't you tell me?
i needed you to trust me.
you can trust me.
do you think you could trust me just a little further?
let's make ourselves comfortable, shall we?
i was just swept up in the moment.
i'm looking forward to seeing you fight.
you're invigorating, but i need something more filling.
this is a gift, you know. i won't forget it.
good morning. how do you feel?
i just feel a little woozy.
i thought you'd be more powerful.
someone, or something, wants me alive.
as for my other quirks — well, we can figure those out in time.
i'm just glad you're being sensible about these revelations.
i was worried people might turn up with torches and pitchforks.
that explains the pallor.
we're each monsters in the making.
i taste absolutely awful.
we need him, like it or not.
we're bound together, no matter what comes.
you say all the right words, but i'm not so sure you mean the right things.
i will respect the decision that was made.
we're all friends again.
there's a long day ahead of us.
what a manner of place is this?
is this a path to redemption or a road to damnation?
your journey is just beginning.
what would suit the occasion?
i am [name], very much at your service.
if you want to threaten me, don't disguise it.
you're paranoid, aren't you.
must be the surroundings.
rather bleak and lonesome, one feels so exposed.
this quaint little scene is decidedly too middle-of-nowhere for me.
enjoy your supper. after all, i might be your last.
are these theatrics leading somewhere?
are you not entertained?
far be it from me to disappoint.
how dear is one's soul?
you're made if you think i'll make a deal with a devil.
what is madness but a denial of reality?
exhaust every possibility until none are left.
when hope has been whittled down to the very marrow of despair, that's when you'll come knocking on my door.
i'll have the last laugh in the end.
one might say you're a paragon of luck.
i've something important to discuss with you.
we've been travelling together for a while now and it's just about time that i shared something with you.
are you telling me you're addicted to magic?
i would not burden anyone other than myself with this were the stakes not so high.
if not out of the simple goodness of your heart, then perhaps your own self-interest might be sufficient motivation.
please, trust me.
your help could be the difference between life and death.
i'm afraid that's not going to work on me.
let us agree on actions first and explanations later.
i didn't come seeking battle.
you're different than the others, i can tell.
i'm afraid proper thanks must wait.
your boldness is a blessing.
it takes more than mere fire to break me.
i must ask again for your aid.
why entrust this to me?
i know him better than most.
i'm not interested in your lineage.
you shouldn't keep secrets like this from me.
he named me friend, and that meant the world.
they're a powerful friend with a keen interest in privacy.
i'm sworn to say no more.
i spent more time dueling than rubbing elbows with lords.
not to say i didn't develop a taste for good win and a talent for courtly dance.
it's been a badger's age since i've twinkled my toes.
a drunk ogre could put on a better show.
we can learn a lot from fairytales, don't you think?
he'll require of you only what you're least ready to part with, and then require more still.
the devil won't take just anything, he'll take everything.
that is a story reserved for lifetime friends and calmer days.
i question the wisdom in that decision but so be it.
there's no way you could have known.
i doubt a fight against them would go your way.
seems you have good survival instincts.
i go my own way — alone.

admittedly, there is tension. joining the avatar's gang was not in yagami's plans, thus he highly doubts having a firebender, let alone a young soldier of war was in theirs. he's been separated from his father for a long time now, cast out during their siege against the north pole. their failure ... and his chance at achieving grace. forgiveness. his sickness is not only his own —— it is years of conditioning. the mind of a scholar with the talent of an athlete. his tenacity is unmatched. against this young water tribe boy, he'll need it. they stand only a year apart in age, yet their experiences could not be more different. both prides of their parents, both first sons, brothers, comrades ... but there is no familiarity between them. not not. not yet.
❝ sokka. ❞ he acknowledges the younger at camp. they are alone at the fire, one that yagami keeps stoked with natural dexterity. he doesn't know it yet, but the young prince —— banished, as he is —— will join them soon. ❝ ... i have something you might be interested in. for your sister, actually. she's particularly good at giving me the cold shoulder. ❞ she's just protective, he thinks, but it's still annoying. they are all children, and she is attempting to be mother. when he is older, he will understand. ❝ a scroll. my father confiscated a long time ago, but i managed to lift it before we left for the north pole. i've already studied it. i'm sure you can tell by my technique. even before we met, i was seeking something from the water tribe, it seems. heh, maybe i was just meant to return it. it seems only right to give it back to the man that will lead them. you can give it to her. say it was from you. ❞
this is his olive branch —— TRUCE? (for now) // * @mythcaels liked for a starter !!
