A lawlight thing I don't think people talk about enough is the sheer amount of confidence Light has in L's competence.
(I'm not talking about the handcuff bits either—Yotsuba!Light actually has far less confidence in L's abilities than regular Light does, because Yotsuba!Light thinks L is wrong, and that every move L has made against him has been wrong. Yotsuba!Light only regains his belief in L near the end of the arc, when Light himself begins to suspect that L might not be wrong.)
But those little inner monologues we make fun of all the time, the ones where Light basically talks himself in circles trying to the find the best, most non-suspicious answer? That's him acknowledging that L is incredibly intelligent.
Light, before even properly meeting L, was completely sure that L would think of every single possibility, every single response to every single word Light could spout, a counterattack to every move he could make, even if he didn't know exactly what they were. And yes, you could say that it's Light simply being overly cautious, but Light is so sure of L's responses in those moments; his sheer belief that all L needs is for him to slip up once, even though that cannot possibly be true (one hint of suspicion wouldn't have been enough for the Task Force I don't think, not even compiled on the fact that Light fits their profile) is honestly....kind of staggering??
Light had no clue that L even existed before the broadcast, and the only true shows of L's ability that he saw before they met in person were the broadcast (a loss) and the cameras (annoying, but a win).
As soon as they meet in person, Light is thinking battle strategy. There's a moment of "Oh fuck" when L reveals himself, and that moment is because Light is certain that L would've been a fox in his henhouse if he hadn't.
But Light, again, doesn't take the moves that he can't be certain of the meaning of as proof that L is stupid—he takes it as proof that L is smart.
And at every turn, L proves him right. :)
I just think it's interesting that Light very much respected L's intelligence, even as he hated him. Light's faith in L's abilities was pretty much instant and I thought it might be fun to explore :3
dracula is so fucking funny. the count is like “please tell me every detail of soliciting. i have become incredibly interested in this prospect. also i can read all of your letters and if you fall asleep in any of the murder rooms your dreams will be so bad that you die” and jonathan is just like “hm.. im starting to feel a little bit weird about this. he WOULD be a good solicitor tho”
Just Pretend by Bad Omens is a bakudeku song, as is Take It Out On Me by Thousand Foot Krutch. If anyone would like to make the AMVs for it, please do, I need it immediately
(stumbles through the doorway with a fucked up unhinged look in my eyes, at least two bones broken and blood in my hair) soooooo. mutually pining yandere erasermic, huh? what a wild. wild concept. haha. hahdhshsjjs,
It actually like confuses and upsets me how some book fans are like, upset by TV Demerzel being emotional as if Daneel wasnt reprogrammed by a man’s love. They expect Daneel to be this macho emotionless powerhouse rather than the incredibly nuanced and complex being who spent their entire 20,000 years of existence in indecision and weariness, who never stopped talking about the man they loved and injected them into legends. Who built a secluded mansion to live in by themselves and modeled the palace of the Galactic Empire after their home planet out of nostalgia??
There are plenty of criticisms that can be made about the show that aren’t she cries and loves people too much. I feel like detailing the trauma and horror of a 20,000 year existence and the things one has to do in their mission (thru the Cleon plot) in this existence is a wonderful way to explore the character, and it’s being done beautifully.
oh my god i just went to the movies to see the little mermaid and its SO BYLER CODED LIKE mike is so prince eric. and will is so ariel it ISNT EVEN FUNNY I CANT DO THIS
Tyeson is 7 years old now! Its crazy how time flies, to see how much I've changed since I first created this wacky unicorn character and how much my characters have changed as well.
This year's celebration is extra special because I commissioned @pinetreedan to make art of my grumpy boy and his friends, (mostly it was a project for school but reasons overlap)
First up is the heroine herself, Princess Evalynn, Knight of the Realm of Kopano. Tyeson's best friend.
Next is Prince Ernest, Evalynn's younger twin. A scholar of magic and lover of a certain unicorn's sister.
Next is His Highness, Oreldin Kazuhiko Suda III, Crown Prince of Mewhye. Tye's older adopted brother.
Next up is Sonja, the sweetest Unicorn ever, Tyeson's half-sister, the only Unicorn that treats his ability to turn into a human as a gift instead of a curse. In love with a certain golden haired prince
And last but not least is the man, the milf, the legend. The birthday boy himself. Tyeson Moonshifter. Royal steed, alchemist, avid reader, and my dearest son.
Thank you for reading! Go check out Dan's other art, they're amazing.
