congrats on making it to the weekend!! after a long week i’m always in the mood for hurt/comfort, so maybe some hurt/comfort lawlight? feel free to disregard if this isn’t the vibe you’re looking for!

#death note #light yagami #l lawliet #lawlight #rough sketches #thank you so much for this #always love your asks because they're a little outside what i tend to gravitate towards #so here's my attempt at some yotsuba arc h/c #not sure i stuck the landing on the 'comfort' aspect though... #more like: l wonders if it's bad that your pet serial killer is in a state of acute psychological anguish? #sorry i'm over a week late on this #may have also misunderstood the assignment #😅😅😅

Slightly exhausted, just a bit tipsy, and on my way to think about Neuvillette's reactions to receiving a genuine compliment. Specifically about his eyes. Because every compliment he's received has always been about some kind of learned behavior - his composure, his eloquence, his authority in court - and never about, well, himself. Especially not his eyes.

No, those were usually met with disdain, fear, or a general uneasiness. Even the most well meaning humans can't hold his gaze for very long - and the list of those that can is even shorter. It's something he's made peace with: catching the Iudex's eye is something most (if not all) Fontainians seek to avoid. Whether it's in the courtroom or on the street, Neuvillette's gaze is cold and impassive; aloof and indifferent to the passing of time around him.

Except..it isn't.

He's observant, curious; he casts a critical eye not in the case of judgement, but for the sake of his own lack of understanding. There's an innocence there -- no, not innocence. Even in your tipsy babbles, you had used the term "inexperience" to describe the heavily veiled emotion there. A barely there hint of softness - one that was most often seen when he spoke with the Melusines and rarely (yet with increased frequency) directed towards you.

Neuvillette finds it...unnerving in a sense. Not in a particularly negative way, but one that brings him a strange sense of calm. Peace bordering on comfort. For someone to notice his mannerisms and behaviors and see them not as the immortal eccentricities of the Chief Justice, but as features that make him who he is...well, he's not exactly sure how to feel about it. Perhaps it's because he doesn't understand how he's supposed to feel about this - about being known in such a rarely intimate way. And perhaps to you it isn't as intimate as it is in his mind (a feeling he hopes isn't as visible as the other emotions you've been able to find in his eyes) but he cannot help but hope that it is.

To have his own questions and curiosities met not with anxiety, but with genuine enthusiasm is already a shift for him. To then be seen by you - known by you - not as the Iudex of Fontaine or even as the Hydro Sovereign but as Neuvillette...he will have to take some time for himself to understand it.

But for now, he'll meet your eyes and give you a slight nod; a small acknowledgment and murmured "thank you" in response to your compliment. For now, he'll just have to hope that his veil of impartiality is enough to continue to hide these thoughts.

For now...for now.

#toast talks #genshin impacted #I'm not actually tipsy but I wrote this when I was SO - #I started reading this draft at work and then he invaded my brain again so have some more Neuvillette stream of consciousness #For a bitch that can't look anyone in the eye without blushing I sure do love writing about hidden emotions in eyes #genshin impact x reader #genshin impact x you #neuvillette x reader #neuvillette x you #neuvilette x reader #neuvilette x you #every time I have to spell his name wrong for the tags I die a little more inside #I'm so sorry my love everyone forgets that there are two l's in your name 😔

I was looking through more Fortune Street quotes, and I found this in Luigi's dialogue when Princess Peach is close to winning:

First I was like "Jesus Christ, Luigi, going right for the jugular, huh?"

Then I realized that line sounded familiar...

Certified Mr. L moment.

#Mario #Mr. L #Luigi #Super Mario Brothers #Honestly it makes sense that Luigi out of everyone would be the one who gets most fed up with all the kidnapping #And you know he's mostly annoyed on Mario's behalf since he's the one doing the rescuing on his own 50% of the time #Luigi (sitting his brother down for a conversation):'I know she needs help Mario but this is the third time this month #I'm not saying you shouldn't save her but are you SURE you're not at least a little annoyed by all this?' #Mario (in love and a bit of an adrenaline addict): *shrugs*

Finding out there are people who read the Goldfinch who do not think Theo is some variation of queer will knock the wind out of you. Mind boggling, truly!!! Like there is no way we read the same book!!!!

Anyway heteronormativity must be one hell of a drug for some people, but it is rotting brains fr 🥴

#How do you read TGF and walk away going 'yep that very unreliable narrator is straight because he said so' like ?!? #Boris and Theo's relationship is complex af and unhealthy sure but those bitches are not straight lmfao #like I just... I had no idea there were people who genuinely argue that Theo is straight. That he is in a 'love triangle' with Kitsey and #Pippa. I'm sorry I have to laugh because WHAT #Talking to someone who is like 'I just wish Theo would have ended up with Pippa in the end 😭' and I'm like wait... WHAT?!?! l #Like I really have to laugh.

There is not a single homely thing that, looked at from a certain angle, does not become fairy. Think of the Dapple, or the Dawl, when they roll the sunset towards the east. Think of an autumn wood, or a hawthorn in May. A hawthorn in May — there’s a miracle for you! Who would ever have dreamed that that gnarled stumpy old tree had the power to do that? Well, all these things are familiar sights, but what should we think if never having seen them we read a description of them, or saw them for the first time? A golden river! Flaming trees! Trees that suddenly break into flower! For all we know, it may be Dorimare that is Fairyland to the people across the Debatable Hill

Another example of Dean's love for Cas

I watched a show. So far so good. But then I saw a scene where the girl tells the guy to get out of the room despite his brother telling him multiple times before and he does it when SHE says it. What happens in the very next episode? Well, he tells her about his feelings for her.

So what my brain did is that he thought about Destiel (obviously, of course, as always) and thought about how this could apply to them.

Are there times when Dean does what Cas tells him to? The answer is yes there are.

Episode 5x02, Castiel wants Dean's necklace to find God:

CASTIEL: May I borrow it? DEAN: No. CASTIEL: Dean. Give it to me. DEAN (takes off the amulet): All right, I guess.

2. Episode 15x09, their whole trip in Purgatory (before and during):

DEAN: Chuck has Sam. I'm not leaving him. CAS: Chuck's not gonna kill him. That's not the ending. DEAN: Wh— Then he'll torture him. CAS: Dean, will you stop? Just stop being so stupid. DEAN: What? CAS: If we attack Chuck now, we don't have anything that can hurt him. We get that Leviathan blossom, complete Michael's spell, build the Cage. That's our chance. That's the way we'll save Sam, and that's the way we'll save the world.

Boom! They go to Purgatory. Then, when they're in, this happens:

DEAN: [...] Okay. Let's split up. CAS: What? DEAN: You go that way. I'll go this way. We'll meet back at the Rift, alright? We'll cover more ground. We'll better our odds. CAS: Yeah. We'll also improve our odds of getting lost or killed. Come on.

Boom! Cas sets out, and Dean follows after him.

There might be more examples, that was just those I could remember. If you have others, please feel free to add them in comments or reblogs. Anyway, it's funny to see that straight from the start of their relationship Dean already did what Cas told him to.

Did Dean have feelings for Cas since season 5? Maybe, I'm not sure what my headcanon is about this yet.

#the show I watched was my life with the walter boys #it's not great #spn ruined everything for me anyway #my point was to take a classic couple dynamic and compared it with the destiel dynamic #the conclusion is they are in love #dean loves cas #nothing new here #it's just another way to show it #spn 5x02 #Good God Y'all #spn 15x09 #The Trap #feel free to add other examples #I'm sure I missed some #the other way around works too #l mean cas doing what dean tells him #but i feel like cas is less reluctant to do what people tells him #sure he disobeyed heaven #okay fine you can share examples about cas doing as dean tells him #I'm always happy to talk more about destiel content and analysis anyway #so have at it #my random thoughts about destiel

an interesting thing abt jgy antis is like. where is the source of their, shall we say, negative opinion of jgy? like, 1. jgy is a villain, he does horrible things with no remorse, he’s willing to do everything to achieve his selfish, egotistical goals. --> 2. the source of this claim: this, this and this scene. --> 3. alright, but to me -- says someone who’s not an anti -- this reads differently. that he did all those things, and did them on purpose and without remorse, is not that obvious to me. why do you think that? --> 4. well, obviously because he’s a villain and does horrible things with no remorse.

like... he’s evil because he does bad things, and he does bad things because he’s evil. i’m interested in how antis came by those opinions, but a, unfortunately i have them all blocked, and b, even if i or someone else made a poll, it wouldn’t be authentic because no sane anti is going to say “well, people hated him and wrote all those things about him on twt, so i started hating him as well”, or “i only care about wgxn, you could sell me anything about other characters if your arguments were convincing enough because i zoned out during the parts when wgxn weren’t on screen/pages of the book”. it’s all “written in the book/shown in the show” and “logical arguments you’d agree with if only you could read”.

#thinking back to my early c/q/l days where i reblogged this dumb ass meta abt how jgy FOR SURE pushed lxc away because he WANTED HIM #to be tormented by uncertainty forever. like 'the worst person you know just saved your life; what now' kinda thing #i was like oh... THIS IS SO RIGHT... because it felt bittersweet and painful and i am Still guilty of accepting/agreeing with headcanons #or interpretations that aren't 100% what i think because i have this ingrained idea that other people are always more mature and #sophisticated and smarter than me and so they Know Better #the person (i think?) later went on to write a meta abt how jgy is a badwrong narcissist. so #(this is also the reason why i spent months praising and getting excited abt a fic where jgy was dating nmj for like a decade despite #not loving him; and why he cheated on him many times with lxc Just Because. i didn't think jgy would do something like that but everyone #else was like omg this is SOOOOO good so i was like shit i guess it is! IT'S SOOOO GOOD OMG;;;;; have i mentioned i have no brain on #my own? yea) #anyway i'm not gonna paint myself as this genius from the first watch because I Too had wgxn goggles fucking ON and didn't even notice #the box hand touch during my first watch. (have i mentioned i am not very smart or observant) and when wwx was whistling ghosts at jgy #and jgy was clearly Going Thru It in the guanyin temple i was like 'haha good for him' #but iirc i Was nonetheless drawn to him (although xy was first <3) and it was like. well he's evilbad but maybe he felt bad when he murdered #his child? --> well maybe he's not 100% evilbad... maybe... --------------> a-yao did nothing wrong and i will kill you if you even suggest #otherwise. (<-- a joke.) #anyway a whole bunch of antis seem like kindasorta stuck in that initial wgxn-centered; everyone else either has 2 personality traits Max #or is either wgxn allies (good) or wgxn Haters (we hates them forever!) just like. unwilling to accept any new viewpoints At All #and then there are Types of those jgy antis because you have people who hate him for Other Reasons and people who hate them because they. #honestly seem like they've only read moralistic books for young children where the brave kind hero is the one you're supposed to cheer for #and want to be like; and the villain has all the traits you're supposed to know are Bad (mean greedy selfish lazy etc) AND NOTHING ELSE. #its like that *man who only saw boss baby watching another movie* damn this is giving me some serious boss baby vibes ! meme #anyway. love it when the tags are 3x longer than the post. cheers #shrimp thoughts

I almost sent an essay in your inbox, but just know that I am now rotating v3 Chapter 4 in my brain too.

Gontas writing sets up such a rock solid foundation for this trial, and it's the only trial that made me feel more dread the second time around than going in blind and I love it for that.

LMAO FEEL FREE TO SEND AN ESSAY I ALREADY GOT ONE (/POS)

ITS TRUE. I was nervous going into trial 4 the first time but the second time I felt almost sick with anxiety. But that might just be me, trial 4 Is almost entirely too much for me. The first time I played it was basically just a 6 hour anxiety attack. Its no wonder it hit me so viscerally that I still can't stop thinking about it.

#tfw you know that the character you love most will die #and youre hoping that he will be murdered to spare you the pain of a trial and an execution #and then trial 4. and then t r i a l 4. #I used to say that to me it felt like Gonta both was executed as the blackened but also murdered #I'm not sure I feel 100% that way anymore.. Gonta definitely chose to do what he did #but I also dont think he would've done so without kokichi there #so its complicated. half murdered maybe #pluto answers

Huh do you guys remember the book tuck everlasting? How the main girl Winnie was a fat ten year old with an immortal love interest who was "17" but actually like 100 n something and the whole thing with him was he wanted her to drink the everlasting water when she turned 17 so shed be 17 forever and they could get married like that was kinda weird he would.like take her just the two of em and talk up marriage with her and she was like TEN ? They changed it in the movie and made her a skinny fifteen year old but still wow I'm surprised why so many christan parents let that romance book be allowed but like....pride n prejudice was a debate? I don't understand the logic of homeschool mother's AT ALL WHY WAS THAT BOOK ALLOWED BUT WHY WAS I SCREAMED AT FOR CHECKING OUT OLD YELLER AT THE LIBRARY BY A HOMESCHOOL MOTHER IN OUR CO-OP???

#like uh i remember reading that book when i was 11 #and uh it's a lil weird just saying #i remember being really angry they made her skinny in the movie but uh maybe I'm misremembering but i picked it up to read to my siblings #and once again had to 'lose it' because uhhhhhhhhhh what the fuck #im not sure if the author made it intentionally creepy for jessie to be pushing and preparing her for marriage and being alone with her but #uhhhhhh I didn't like him when i was a kid and i sure as fuck am like wow #I'm not sure if the author was trying to make it negative and about grooming because the homeschool moms always acted like it was romantic #they always went awwwww i wish she hadn't wasted that wayer on a frog but like #idk #once again why was that romance ok but pride n prejudice romance not ok for some homeschool moms????????????? #like we did p&p the play in lur drama troup and uhhhh a lot of familys dropped out #i loved it though i played jane it was so good and fun #also there was.like 6 moms in the homeschool co-op that just made my life H E L L #like they literally humiliated and bullied me constantly and over minor things like reading OLD YELLER????????? #like don't get me STARTED on the harry potter lotr and anything that had magic drama #giving Narnia which is like the most Christian homeschooler books got me in trouble with like four of em BECAUSE MAGOC? EVEN THOUGH ASLAN #just I do not understand the logic #like i just DON'T GET IT #like grooming is romantic but #like magic is evil? and don't you dare read that book where the dog dies you evil little bitch

I had to unlike and then like that Daniel quote again because of your tags. Yes exactly!!! Daniel is perfectly aware how ridiculous and borderline paradoxical his situation with Armand is but he's way past the point of caring and he even finds it amusing. He's delirious and a little off his rocker yet also very conscious of just how absurd it all is, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Ah, thank you, that's very sweet!

Like the thing is, at the end there in Chicago, Daniel's situation is entirely his own making. He's the one who left, who tried to go out into the mortal world and.... *waves hand because we don't really know what he did for six months* My suspicion was he was playing a fucked up game of chicken where he was hoping Armand would decide he loved Daniel too much to lose him and he'd come get him and make him a vampire which... Daniel won by only due to interference from the other side. (Flag on the field for the murderous vampire queen!) (I will say, I think Armand would have done it anyway. I think the reason Daniel was allowed to be gone for so long is Armand was also playing a similar game of chicken with himself and that either way, Daniel would have been a vampire by the end of 1985, even if he hadn't yet been in late-stage organ failure.)

But I digress. We really do get an incredible picture of who Daniel is and their relationship from the Daniel sections of QotD. Like it's not a lot of words but every sentence is weighted and heavy and gives us so much more than the sum of it parts. Like thanks to like this line and maybe 2 others, we know that even though Daniel was delirious from hunger and probably dehydration, and he was dying of alcoholism and therefore his brain was all messed up (dying does a number on you), he still had a dark sense of humor, and a sense of wit, and he was a sarcastic bastard who could appreciate the irony of the situation he got himself in. Gotta love him.

Devil's minion, indeed.

#thank you for the ask #and for re-liking the post for my tags lol i do that to people al l the time #i should move the tags to the most often #people in this fandom have some great takes that shouldn't get lost in the tags #i love you vcblr #like i said i'm emotional tonight #not sure what that's about #daniel molloy #anonymous #answers in the desert #queen of the damned #devil's minion #i just love daniel molloy okay #he's so great

Hello I just excited saw your tags on an L post about what you think his enneagram type is !!! Can you go deeper into what u see his type as and why?? :)

Hi hi! I got into the Enneagram a couple years back for funsies, and I think L is probably a Type 5 with a 6 wing, which I guess is called either "The Troubleshooter" or "The Investigator" (lol, fitting).

The Type 5s tend to be quite logical and independent and intelligent, very focused on gathering information and sussing out meanings and analyzing and interpreting data. The Type 6 tends to be skeptical and private and cautious and focused, which I think would be his most likely secondary type (rather than the Type 4, which is a bit more of an artsy and emotional and sensitive type).

Here is what the write-up for the 5w6 says:

People with an enneagram type 5 wing 6 personality usually identify the most with the type 5, but also share traits with the 6 type. They tend to be practical, independent, and logical in their behavior. They are much more cooperative than other 5 types and have a passion for using their knowledge to solve real-world problems.

Basic Fear

Five wing sixes fear being useless or incapable. They seek to improve the world around them in order to feel worthy.

Basic Desire

Their basic desire is to be competent and useful. They usually show this by picking up new skills and pieces of knowledge that can be of benefit.

Troubleshooters may withdraw from others to cope with stressful situations, which can tend to make them feel lonely.

In summary, Enneagram 5w6 personalities tend to...

Be hard-working and analytical problem-solvers

Withdraw from others when stressed

Prefer to spend time thinking alone

Fear being incapable or incompetent

Make practical and logical decisions

Enneagram 5w6 Strengths

Being focused and well-organized

Passion for learning and growing

Solving difficult or complex problems

Remaining calm in times of crisis

Enneagram 5w6 Weaknesses

Struggling to relate to and understand others

Tendency to be private and defensive

Being perceived as cold or aloof

Difficulty taking action when uninspired

How Enneagram 5w6 personalities like to work

Communicating with an Enneagram 5w6

Avoid emotional expressions and allow five wing sixes space to think and process.

Meeting with an Enneagram 5w6

Keep meetings short and sweet; focus on clearly addressing the purpose.

Emailing an Enneagram 5w6

Be direct when emailing, allowing five wing sixes to share insightful and new ideas.

Giving feedback to an Enneagram 5w6

Offer constructive criticism and honest feedback; give specific areas for improvement.

Resolving conflict with an Enneagram 5w6

Focus on logically expressing your perspective; work toward a mutual understanding, allowing them time to think privately, if needed.

Enneagram 5w6 Motivations

Enneagram 5w6s tend to be motivated and energized by...

Solving or preventing problems

Spending time alone to gather their thoughts

Feeling like they’re contributing to society

Pursuing knowledge in the specific area that sparks their personal interest

Enneagram 5w6 Stress

Enneagram 5w6s tend to be stressed and drained by...

Spending too much time around others

Needing to be emotionally vulnerable

Feeling unwanted or rejected by others

Self-doubt and insecurity

--

I think it all sounds a lot like him. The introversion and fierce independence, the problem-solving skills and preoccupation with privacy when socializing, withdrawn when moody and listless when uninspired, etc. The list of strengths and motivations reminds me a lot of him when he is successfully honing in on Kira during the beginning of the story, and the stresses and weaknesses remind me a lot of L when he is struggling more during the Yotsuba Arc.

#l lawliet #ask #anon #p #i personally am a 6w5 which is similar but #idk it is not really the most fun type hahah reading about it is like #you are suspicious ALL THE TIME #sweet i guess? #but it is accurate for me in that i tend to create big networks of people i can consult about things #to get my bearings when i'm feeling unsure of myself or wanting some secondary opinions #like this here blog hahaha #my theory is because i had such a discombobulating childhood and had to rework my worldview fully several times so #i hate feeling left without a support network and #i am constantly on-guard for things trying to trick me or isolate me from others against my will and #although i'm not super extroverted i love having lots of other people available to consult before i trust in something without question #so i tend to LOVE suspicious characters like detectives who are always like hmmm idk about this #L is a fellow suspicious sally for sure #but i think he is more of a 5w6 #wouldn't surprise me if maybe Near was a fellow 6w5 #light is probably somewhere in types 1-3

remembering when I consumed so much twin peaks stuff I went into a spiral of thinking about Laura & Donna & now I'm getting caught in my thoughts again

#Thinking about them holding each other #thinking about even donna doesn't know me your laura dissappeared #you know what your problem is you're too adorable i think you're right i'm just too adorable #Call me sure what do you want me to call you #I just want one friend just for a minute ¬ Laura how about one friend for the rest of your whole life #Calling each other D & L #Goodbye muffin `no you're the muffin donna youre right i'm the muffin #Are you my best friend i'm your friend always #I do love you laura i love you donna but i don't want you to be like me #a few moments of the good in the middle of miles and ages of bad is better than no good at all. I hope Donna still wants to be my friend #You’re dead Laura but your problems keep hangin around #My undying friendship to Laura has caused my great pain and sorrow. I know that I'll never get over her death. I miss her so much #ramblings

les misérables:

Cela même lui avait été plus facile qu'à Roméo; Roméo était obligé d'escalader un mur, Marius n'eut qu'à forcer un peu un des barreaux de la grille décrépite qui vacillait dans son alvéole rouillé, à la manière des dents des vieilles gens. (IV, 8, I, p. 341)

me: that's weird, isn't gens masculine? guess i'll look it up on wordreference in case it's also a feminine noun meaning something different.

wordreference:

Inflections of 'gens' (nmpl): pl: gens Toujours au pluriel quand gens = les hommes en général ou un nombre indéterminé de personnes. L'adjectif qui précède s'accorde souvent au féminin.

me: what the

#um?? french?? why would you do that????? #'s'accorde souvent' WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT OF NOUN-ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT THEN??
