soulmates but not in a soft romantic way soulmates in a destined to change each other for better or for worse, cannot be who they are without each other, unstoppable together but they’re also the only ones who can defeat each other, equals, existences undeniably tied to each other way

if i could alter some points of death note... i'm just musing here. [cw spoilers, of course]

i think i'd still keep the choice of light's misogyny, but with more intention behind it irt misa's storyline especially. i feel that his misogyny is the stepping stone which lends itself to some of his other arrogant beliefs, and could be utilized very well before we know who the second kira is.

from the above, i also think it's extremely interesting to make misa reprise her antagonist role at a certain point (likely after ryuzaki's died). there's also something to be said here about misa giving him her stage name rather than her actual name. with her parents dead, and perhaps going so far as to kill the ones who used her given name, light is at a disadvantage that he hadn't even considered when misa's idealized version of him inevitably crumbles before her (at his willingness to kill his own family, that sudden realization of his "lack of humanity"). in this sense, she's the only one that can save him, and though it initially pains her, she realizes he's lost the true meaning of "justice" and she's the one who has to pick up this mantle.

additionally, though this isn't really necessary, i think it'd be interesting to see some of soichiro's difficulty in accepting light to be kira specifically under the depiction of light as his daughter... specifically to emphasize the general view of (asian) girls being innocent, as well as that fatherly protection + the dissonance ryuzaki experiences, generally detached from social conventions to come to this conclusion so readily. (& not required, but some notes here and there on ryuzaki's unexamined genderless thoughts as stemmed from how he'd grown would also be fun...)

and so on. if i can remember more of these miscellaneous ideas, i'll add them on sometime later ^_^ <3

methinks L had like a burner phone that only near and mello could call him on and theyd call to tell him about like. the fnaf lore or something (to which he’d listen intently)

Death Note plot really is just an autistic person who's constantly masking vs an autistic person who has never masked in his life

also ryuk's there

#im so right for this #i recently begrudgingly realized that light is autistic. it's true and it upsets me xD #xD #death note #l lawliet #light yagami #yes light is autistic and his special interest is himself #me and the bad bitch i pulled (killed) by being autistic #(for reference im autistic) #should tag near too because he also entirely fits this #near death note #near dn #(nate is their deadname. not tagging it 😒/j) #autism headcanon #autistic headcanon

[blondiest]

anyway i like never really know how to talk about this because i don't want to come off like i think i'm better than anyone else. i'm very much prone to my own bits of bitchiness and i'm sure i've said things on here that are contradictory, not fair, not thoughtful or not kind, but i really wish, broadly speaking, that we could talk about creative pursuits in a slightly gentler way. i think the constant flux of "he would not fucking say that" posts and condescending diatribes about the Right way to write something [a character, a type of story, etc] are so incredibly discouraging to new writers. you don't want to be someone's "he would not fucking say that," so you sit around and feel ashamed and scared to share your writing, afraid of ridicule. it sucks. i don't like it.

#i almost didn't write for mellonear at all because i was so scared to fuck it up and have people hate it. #blondiepost #death note #<- retroactively tagging bc while i see this in all fandoms i feel the DN discussions are particularly bad lately

DEATH NOTE (musical) FANS EVERYWHERE

i know how many of us have wanted an english studio version of "the way things are" for soooo soooo so long, and we still don't have one (though, from what i understand, a london cast album — which includes the song on the tracklist — will be made at Some point, but the date remains unknown).

but two weeks ago this absolute masterpiece dropped and it's criminal that it isn't even at 1k views. it, genuinely, fits in perfectly with the existing english demo soundtrack. please please please go show this person some love and share this video around, because i'm sure there's so many folks who've been waiting for something like this that have no idea it exists

the musical has the best death note ending and i’ll stand by that forever. i love near (i am him) but i firmly believe the series should have ended with both light and l dying. light himself doesn’t want shit after L is gone. they can’t EXIST without each other and that is shown so clearly by how just. lethargic and unmotivated light is after L’s death. which is very interesting to analyze! but in my mind, the canon, most beautiful ending, they die together

#talking to my friend about this like yea he’s my favorite character of all time he should have died earlier #like i really do like seeing how light is without l #it really emphasizes their importance to each other #but i think it’s very romantic in their own fucked up way to die together #one cannot exist without the other #dn tag #death note #l lawliet #light yagami #lawlight #death note the musical #death note musical

i feel like ryuzaki primarily bases their value/personhood on their tangible abilities more than anything else - which means that, despite having a certain level of confidence in who they are, they're generally defined by what people interpret them to be (and the distance between screens definitely aids people to project their presumptions upon them, which they simply go with because it's more convenient).

ryuzaki acknowledges their own abilities and their intentions, ruthless in just how methodical it is, but it's only through others that their detachment is interpreted as arrogance, that their necessary sacrifices are turned to martyrs in the public eye, and so on. however, interestingly enough, it's seeing how these others regard them personally that really reveals their individual worldviews as well - if they approach all things with distrust, they'll regard ryuzaki as an enigma with some hidden stake; if they are kind-hearted, they'll often phrase things as though they're searching out ryuzaki's approval before imposing a certain view of them/offering a path of action, as if they believe ryuzaki's emotions are necessary to take into account before offering something they may have missed; & say, if men are more likely to be as smart or cruel as their reputation's given them, then they more easily assume ryuzaki to be a man… just to drag it back to the conversation at hand. it's really rare, especially with the voice modulator when they must speak, for people to assume they're a woman if it's between the binary. people tend to underestimate them, and many criminals may take advantage of that perception to remain an understated suspect… 👍

in this sense, despite the technical terms personally being non-binary/agender, they're like. the most genderfluid genderless guy alive simply by virtue of assuming whatever role is necessary to play the game through.

Married ╾ L

I made the mistake of Thinking.

There are some parts that don't seem very L-ish to me, perhaps because of the perspective I wrote from.

Angst.

　★━━─・‥…━━━☆

It was only a little thing.

Lost between the aisle and vows, the rows of empty seats that weren't really rows or seats because does a tree really fall if nobody needs it for timber?, it was only a little thing.

L cut the cake and he gave the first slice to you. It tasted like frosting and unevenly cooked chocolate batter. It was delicious.

L took you home. You failed to consummate. Can you fail, if you don't try? It was only a little thing, of no matter. You were tired. You cuddled instead. Both start with C. Interchangeable. You had a husband. You only had to hold him close.

One year later – just under – and it was winter on the other side of the globe. Summer where you sat, winter where L crouched. It was cold in a big bed alone, but what's to be expected married to a workaholic and you only needed a little thing, that voice call every other week.

Very soon, he returned.

Everything was perfect. It WAS perfect, what a little thing, that capitalisation, but how it changes the meaning. L returned, and because he did, everything was naturally perfect. Meant to be perfect, because you were meant to be. L held you close for a minute. Your husband. You only had to hold him.

Yellow. That was the colour of the cushions you bought together. Yellow. L's favourite colour wasn't yellow. Considering the shade and pattern, it wasn't yours either. But they brightened up the place. Brightened up the mood.

Only at night did the colour sap out with the warmth, dark blue through the house. Dark blue between the two bodies on the bed. Space.

Until death do us part. It's only a little thing. A promise, we will part.

Four more months and four more days. Kisses on the cheek when cooking dinner. Trying to be closer. He scooped you up in his arms one day and took you dancing around the kitchen, held your hand.

Only for a night.

Random, wasn't it? How we met? you asked. Random, wasn't it? How we fell in love?

Everything that seems random, seems chaotic, has pattern and reason when viewed in a big enough frame, he answered, and went back to his ramen. No magic. Only a little thing, that bit of wonder in life. L, do you see the magic? is what you ask, hand left hovering above the paper towels. But L, do you understand me? Do you sympathise? is what you mean.

Verfremdungseffekt, he tells you with a grin, and just laughs when you don't understand.

Even the prosperous inevitably decay said your grandma, sic transit gloria mundi if you had asked L, all that's fair must fade said the writer. Same phrase different words. Same words different phrase?

Regardless, the autumn leaves always begin colourful, dancing in the dusty wedding photos on the mantle, but they fade by the end of the season. Outside the brown leaves crunch, die, are ready for white snow to hide away the misery. A little thing, a leaf. How little in the breeze. It falls off the tree to die. It's only a little thing.

Awake all night. Usually that was L's job but tonight it was yours. Look at his face. His body, curled up in defence. His face, the tightness in his expression even in sleep. Look. How closed off he was. You reached out and brushed his hair. He turned his head away.

No matter. You turned your head away and stared out the window. No magic. No yellow cushions to brighten it up. A cold chill, L's skin, the thin blankets and the air. Winter. Winter where you sat. L was as far away as the summertime. Spring was fair. Autumn was bitter. Winter was dead. Summer had hope. Perhaps you ought have been married in summer. But it was still autumn, the last day, so very close.

Dull. But you had a husband, and you held him close for a night. He gave you the cake. A little thing. Danced with you. But there was dark blue space. A little thing again. Verfremdungseffekt. L, you say and he doesn't stir, L, do you hear me?

Air void of an answer. It was cold. L's skin was cold. There were warm clothes in the cupboard. There were warm cafés in the nighttime. What music was out there tonight?

December. Winter.

A little thing.

You left.
