Prompt 4

The hero cried incessantly, caressing the cheeks of the dead civilian in their arms. The goddess merely stood at the scene, hands on her waist.

She scoffed at them. “You should be worried about other things you know.”

Sidekicked glared at her. Hero couldn’t even look her in the eyes. “That’s easy for you to say,” hero muttered. “How would you know death? How would you know grief? How would you feel this pain? You are a goddess and an immortal. Would it kill you to try to empathize with us for just a moment, even if you think that we are beneath you?”

“That’s not what I was saying at atl!” She didn’t intend to raise her voice, so she poised herself again and crossed her arms. “I mean, if you really want Civilian to come back to life that bad, I can just ask death to bring them back here, that’s all!”

“You can do that?” Sidekick asked — or rather, screamed. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Hero still wasn’t looking at her.

The goddess chuckled with amusement and laughed, “Of course I can! I’m Death’s little darling, he’ll listen to me for sure!”

Then her expression started to become more serious. “However–” goddess lifted her finger in apprehension, “like what I have said earlier, there are other things you should be worried about, such as if the dead wanted to go back to the world of the living.”

Hero finally stared at her, their eyes glimmering with the tears and lips curled into a frown. No one between Goddess and Sidekick could tell if they were relieved or angered by her advice. Nevertheless, the awkwardness of the space was saved by Sidekick’s loud mouth.

“Well why wouldn’t they want to come back?”

The goddess sighed. “You see, there’s a reason why death is painful for the living, so it can be pleasant in the afterlife. The afterlife is a place where the dead will not want to go back to living. There is only peace, contentment, and people that they thought were long gone.”

“Long story short, the afterlife is everything a person could want. Once you experience it, you will understand. Do you think that you can pull a person away from such a state of perfection and back into this world of uncertainty?

“Think about it —” she snapped her finger and a portal opened. Before stepping in, she looked back and said, “And once you do, let me know what you want to happen, okay?” The Goddess winked and she vanished alongside the portal.

Note

What if Misa had a god complex when she picked up the deathnote?

God complex Misa

K:-Its kind of hard to decide where to start as the god complex both sounds kind of like Misas attitude but is contrasted by her... Kind of suicidal mindset

E:-True. God complex Misa has me flatlining.

I was ginna go she spirals with the act revenge for innocents failed by the justice system.

K:- I can see where there would be some similarities, with Defined God complex.

1.An inflated sense of self: The biggest sign of a god complex is an inflated sense of self and general feelings of grandiosity.

Thats more Lights thing, but she does feel that there is no room for other rivals,I guess. Like kind of a stretch, but workable I guess

2.Gaslighting: Because people with a god complex are self-absorbed, it can be difficult for them to recognize or accept another person's experience. This, Blaylock-Johnson says, can lead to gaslighting, a form of manipulation that involves denying someone else's reality. Gaslighting is also common among narcissists.

I could see her doing that well if Light was not leading the show.

3.Lack of empathy: A general lack of empathy is common for those with god complexes, Blaylock-Johnson says. "They have an inability to see the humanity in others."

-Misa doesn't care about the lives of criminals anymore then Light.

4.Inconsiderate behavior: Because of their tendency for self-absorption and lack of empathy, people with god complexes often behave in inconsiderate ways. According to Blaylock-Johnson, they don't think about how they're affecting others. In their own eyes, they can do no wrong.

Misa doesn't consider that Light does not want to date her. I guess their both more in a relationship for status then emotion

E:-Scratch that she doesn't care for anyone who ISN'T Light. She has no remorse to kill an hypothetical gf Light could have had.

K:- "If I see you with another girl, then I'll kill her!" And Light initally thinks that if she didn't get what she wanted from him, he might be in danger.

5. Validation seeking: There's an excessive need for external admiration, praise, and recognition for those with god complexes, Blaylock-Johnson says, adding that they cannot validate themselves. And as licensed marriage and family therapist Margalis Fjelstad, Ph.D., LMFT, previously explained to mbg, that's another core narcissist trait. "Validation for a narcissist counts only if it comes from others," she says

-She seeks validation from her relationship with Light and status as a model.

E:-That and the lack any close companions other than Rem.

K:- get this

6. Callous or unemotional behavior: Sometimes people with god complexes can be inexplicably cold to others or simply unemotional, Blaylock-Johnson says.

7.Isolation: There can be many reasons someone isolates themselves, and it's not always indicative of a god complex. But according to Blaylock-Johnson, "purposely isolating themselves because they think they're better than everybody else and don't need anyone else is different from social isolation due to depression or anxiety" and could be a sign of a god complex.

-Yah,Misas a model and popular, but has she been shown to have any long term relationships with other people? We don't even see her sister? Just Rem, and a friend who swaps out so she can date.

E:-She's not close to anyone else but Light.

She has no support system other than Rem who dies for her. Is cut off any contact with her sister. No real friendships than I can say maaybe that nurse friend she had in the anime. But I doubt it is mutual friendship.

K:- 8. Disrespecting boundaries: A big reason people can end up walking away from those with god complexes, as aforementioned, is due to disrespecting boundaries, Blaylock-Johnson says. They may push people away "constantly crossing certain boundaries," she explains. As Fjelstad notes, narcissists similarly believe everything belongs to them, everyone thinks and feels the same as they do, and everyone wants the same things they do. "They are shocked and highly insulted to be told no," she says.

-She deff disrespects others personal space

9. Lack of responsibility: When you have a god complex, Blaylock-Johnson says, you're not going to feel like anything you're doing is wrong—and you're certainly not going to feel like you have to change. In fact, far from it. According to Fjelstad, "Lack of responsibility is a glaring sign of a narcissist. Although narcissists want to be in control, they never want to be responsible for the results."

E:-When Light dies she commits suicide the year after. Which is rather sad she has no one to depend on; and I highly doubt the Task force is willing to amible with her post Light.

K:- 10. NPD or other mental illness: Lastly, a narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis is a likely indicator that someone will exhibit signs of a god complex. This can also happen with other mental illnesses in which mania is involved, such as bipolar disorder. "For some people, if they are in a manic episode, it can be marked by grandiosity, that inflated sense of self, or doing a lot of risky behaviors," Blaylock-Johnson notes.

-Like, it points stronger to Light, and Misa hits some of those boxes, but also contrated with her… Strepford smiler Attitude

E:- How did she escape Justice?..

So I want to say Misa builds up the complex.

She has the death note when exactly?

K:-if its post Light, maybe Light nips the suicidal thing in the butt feeling a suicidal pawn close to Kira could bite him later???

At least her extent. So I guess this is a Misa and Light build up the worst in each other??

Did Misa give up her Death Note in the second half? I don't think she did.She could twist it in her brain, that Light died leaving her to ascend to godhood and fill his place.

Maybe shes basing her idea of godhood on Light? And paid attention to his traits?

But even if Misa got her Death Note years before Light, and started killing criminals in revenge for her parents, I could see it building into god complex.

Going from victim to unstoppable would be a pretty heady feeling.

Still its kind of hard to ballance with her being a death seeker

"Death Seeker: Some of the material in the series seems to point to the fact that Misa isn't exactly concerned with her own life. Misa deliberately seeks out dangerous situations: for one example, she walks home alone, at night, on a deserted street, and for another she begins the entire attack on Sakura TV while being across the street in person. She then shows up on the mass murderer Kira's doorstep and volunteers to be his girlfriend while knowing full well that he could kill her. She in fact explicitly offers Light the option of killing her if she gets to be a burden. Also, she begs Rem to kill her when she feels that she has a good justification to ask that of Rem, and, mind you, when Soichiro informs Misa that both she and Light are to be executed, it is Light's life that she begs for. Plus, she sacrifices half of her lifespan (twice) to get the shinigami eyes. And of course, when Light dies, she kills herself soon after."

E:-So complex Misa can go two ways depending on the timeline and what happened. But this is DN who says " fuck canon. " Canonically themselves.

Misa wants to die. Did it start when her parents were murdered? Probably. Yeah actually that would make sense. I would like the pre Light Misa as it would be easier to ascend into the God Complex she would get in her sense of justice where the courts and public had failed her.

K:-Yah,movie Rem said she developed deep depression after that. Yah pre Light is easier. And the ask lol, we got derailed!

E:-And I Found when she lost the Death note post timeskip.

Post attack on the SPK, where Near escapes using the power of money and wearing a helmet (he's like one of the few people to do that to evade death). Where she then develops conflict with Takeda.

I still say he should have given it back to Misa for the end game.

There were no helmets in the warehouse.

Another indication of the sister, Misa says she moved to the apartment to be alone. Shame Light didn't have a contingency to get Misa a Death Note in event of his death.

E:-Ten bucks says the sister is dead. Maybe.

But depression is a heavy thing. And not something you can rip yourself out of especially the life leading up post Light.

So few people use helmets to protect their face in Death Note.

K:- yah they would have been much safer if they went around dressed like clone troopers. Cosplay should have exploded in the Kira era.

Hmmm, not pre timeskip,if her sister is dead. It would make sense if her sister was older and working allowing Misa to grieve then get back to her modeling career without ending up in an orphanage. Like, modeling takes work, and would not be something Misa could easily break into if she didn't have anyone. So probably some kind of family member to live with until she was of age.

Built up from righteous anger the killing of criminals escalating into a complex at the worship that comes from her use of the death note to kill those who have wronged others.

They call her god, and she starts to believe it. Rem says otherwise, but Rem is a death god herself, and with the power of the death note, why shouldn't Misa be one too?

E:-Misa Misa hears the cries of others just like her all those months ago, the young girl who's world shattered because the public forgot the actions of a murderer.

Letting him go, loudly proclaiming justice for the monster under her bed who has murdered her parents.

Why why, what had Misa done to God to deserve this?

Where was her justice? Justice for her parents? Her family?

The death note came as a gift from a death god who loved her. Loved her to save her from a stalker ready to kill her in the night.

The smoothness of this book felt cool under her hands. There was a power in the words carved into its covers that Misa could feel.

A name.

Just a name and a face to take back what freedom he unfairly won.

Misa begins with just that.

K:-A name becomes two, which becomes twenty, and multiplies into bigger and bigger numbers.

There are those who react in fear, and others who turn to worship.

Misa is not a god. But she has gods power at her disposal, and a will to see it through.

The public calls to her for salvation, and she will see it paid in blood. She doesn't care who she has to cut through.

She will bring justice, vengeance (for what is the difference really) to all who ask.

Misa is smart. Not genius smart, but smart enough to know how to act, to play down her intelligence in favor of what she wants people to see, of how they want to see her.

Unchecked her arrogance grows. She's earned it.

Here she's all alone but Rem, and I kind of want to bring someone else in. A sister, a worshiper victim like she was, a foil.

Death Note is kind of a lonely story for most, when you think about it.

E:-The cathartic sense it fills her when she sees them fall to their knees, the wide fear in their eyes that reflected what their victims had felt in their last moments.

So many can sleep now without fear.

All because of her.

Misa sets down her pink pen, flexing her cramping hand. Another week of names being filled. Another group of scummy perverts that filled the modeling agency she worked at.

The group of models she befriends tittered to one another when another of these creeps pop up.

Yes it very much is a lonely story for who starts it. And I think thats another layer for those trying for godhood.

K:-They are not strictly her friends. But they are comrades, they are friendly, and they know how to lie.

They know its probably one of them. And that is a blessing. That the deaths have united them, given them a bond that few could break.

When the police come, they lie.

And Misa thinks to herself "I can use this"

E:-So a network was made. Umeko, a model plucked from the countryside so rural the school was almost eaten by vegetation, clapped her hands as one does at a shrine, proclaiming loudly," Kami-san your devoted follower asks for justice!"

Their cheerful party is startled into silence by Umeko's loud prayer. Misa's hands almost dropped the champagne bottle. Umeko keep praying out loud, drunk and glassy eyed.

"Kami- chan, I want justice! Manager Sugawara has taken one of my girls. I want vengeance!"

Umeko keeps clapping her hands, and another model joins her this time.

K:-Misa joins, feeling powerful.

After all belonging means taking part in the rituals, and she does belong here. The faith empowers her as she writes, the conviction gives her strength, emboldens her.

E:-I like how this is delving into fanfic territory.

K:-When do we not?

E:-With a small one group that became bigger, more young girls begin to join them in prayer for justice. Misa listens to her followers, as some break down into pitiful sobs about the ongoing abuse at home, their stalkers who arrogantly force themselves into their minds, and so much more than the corruption of a skin deep glamor their work shines with.

There is an unspoken rule in this group that no one says aloud. A thankful tap on her wrists, gifts left at the altar Umeko made.

Misa has found her church.

K:-Misa has found her believers. She is a godess. No one would say otherwise. And she believes.

She believes that she has brought salvation.
