I wish some ppl understood that when I say stuff like "L and Near are autistic" or "Light Yagami is not straight", I'm not saying these things because I believe the creator of Death Note intended them to be read this way, in fact I think he'd be against this interpretation completely, but ultimately those are the characters he wrote, intentionally or not.

A detached random example so you'd get what I mean: If you write a female character, who for example, can grow facial hair, it would be correct to say said character is either transfem or has PCOS, even if the creator never intended or realized that the aformentioned groups of women exist when writing the character.

I wish people understood that this applies to queer/neurodivergent/etc. readings of characters in general.

Like yes, I know Ohba wrote Light completely disinterested in women because he wanted to showcase Light's god complex, that Light is so detached from an average man that he wouldn't even indulge in romantic love or sexual desires, as it's below him. I know this is the intent, but when you write a man who repeatedly shows a clear lack of attraction to women throughout the entire story, you wrote a queer man (ace or gay, but definitely not straight).

With Near and L, I know Ohba wanted to write two eccentric genius type characters, but he gave them so many traits that are common with people on the high-functioning end of the autistic spectrum- that he accidentally wrote two neurodivergent characters.

Intent doesn't matter, it matters what you wrote in the text.

And ultimately, no matter what the author says, when you create art meant to be consumed by an audience, that work becomes shared with every single person impacted by it. Your word is final when it comes to the intended vision, but it is not the only reading that matters. As long as someone is able to make a concrete argument for their interpretation of a work, even if it's completely different than the authorial intent, it still holds meaning and value, although it's a different type of media analysis. (Especially in cases such as this when the text itself supports this reading, even though it's unintentional)

Anyhow sorry for the rant, I was on Death Note Reddit and saw people being dumb about ppl making a queer reading of Light's character or an autistic reading of L and Near and wanted to ramble about how they fundementally misunderstand why ppl say these things. Like we know Ohba didn't intend it, we just don't care!

#edit: upon further reflection I do think near specifically is (very likely) intended to be autistic but my overall point still stands!#oh also by queer man I mean a man who isn't allocishet!#death note #near death note #nate river #l lawliet #light yagami #analyses&meta #💬 katposts #autistic analysis #queer analysis

Hello there! Can I request a yandere light yagami blackmailing a smart classmate into working as assistance in his ministration and falling for her or a yandere karasuma falling for a normal female teacher of class E? Thank you and have a good day regardless!

Of course you may, and both ideas will be addressed.

Yandere Light Yagami - The Tree of Insight

What a wondrous day it had been, thinking that you had gone mad. The worst part of it was that that monster had taken the greatest pleasure in taunting, floating above you and quipping and giggling the longer the hours drew by. Not even covering your ears had blocked out the rasping voice, as it had mused that you were awfully particular for a mortal.

When you got back home, you would go through your family's medical records to see if schizophrenia infected one of the branches - that might explain the hallucinations then.

Ryuk, or that was at least what he called himself, bobbed up and down as he floated to your side. The other students that were walking up and down the road didn't bother him, as he simply fazed right through them. Suddenly, the apparition flew sideways, and out of reflex, you imitated the apparition out of reflex.

"Keep going that way, kid. You have somebody waitin' for ya", the raspy voice of that… thing, said loud and clear. As fried as your nerves were, you were tempted to lash out, to disobey out of petulance. Today had been a rough day, and it had been reflected in your demeanour.

Your peers had constantly been casting worried glances your way, and even a teacher had pulled you aside to inquire if everything was alright. As touching as you would have normally found it, it had just been annoying and had exacerbated your mounting irritation. By the end of the school day, you had just wanted to be left alone. Maybe that's why you solemnly followed the floating clown’s instructions - yelling out loud would just make you appear mad, and you were also curious to where heeding the directions would lead to.

There really was somebody waiting for you - a little to the side of the road, at the edge of the park that was directly next to the school, was Light Yagami. Now that was strange - he normally went home with his friends. Then again, he had been acting weird for the past few weeks, his slightly standoffish nature being amped up to 11.

As you approached him, he lowered the book that he had been reading, and raised a questioning eyebrow. All of this seemed like a bad idea. Then, the monster ripped the book out of the boy’s hands and added: “Not act so oblivious. You’re gonna get nowhere by playing coy now, kid”.

Light shot it a baleful look. “Getting bored already, Ryuk?”, he asked slightly. Brown eyes focused on you the entire time, gouging your reactions. Before this conversation could continue without you, you butted in:

“You can see him too, Light? What is your connection to this … thing?”

It was comforting that you weren’t seeing things that weren’t really there, but on the flip side it meant that more sinister things were afoot. Judging from the plotting expression on your classmates face, he surely wouldn’t disappoint when it came to the latter.

“Ryuk here is a shinigami, and before you ask, he’ll be in your life a while longer. How, that is up to you to decide.”

Why was he being so unusual to the point? Though, his statement did imply that he had a measure of control over this shinigami. An interesting tidbit that you would dwell and muse over in the future.

“And why that? What do you want from me?”, you asked.

At your sides, your hands balled into fists, with your nails digging into the tender skin of your palms. With each passing second, this situation was becoming worse. While you were quick on your feet, both mentally and physically, the matter at hand was devolving too fast for you to keep up well. There was no chance of you darting a few steps ahead and taking control, and that was probably intended by Light.

“You truly are a delight. It is wonderful to converse with somebody that can keep up so well. In other circumstances, I would have to spoon feed the whole matter bit by bit”, Light mused, his eyes crinkling in a strangely genuine smile. “What I mean, is you either work for me, or I’ll have Ryuk haunt you until your sanity slips.”

Your heart pounded in your ears upon his words. Turning your head slightly, you stared at the shinigami, at those wide bulging eyes, at that too slim face and the staples at the collar. Today has been hell in its own way, with that spirit dogging your every step, holding its one-sided conversation and making life just difficult in general. Since it could interact with the physical world, as it had just demonstrated a few moments ago, which meant it could even drive you to madness. Today just had been a foretaste, and the demon had been holding back.

This was too much, too fast. As it was, you were tired, and frustrated and disappearing to go live in the middle of nowhere sounded very attractive right now. What other choice did you have but to give in?

As indicated above, Light would put you in a position where you wouldn’t be operating at full mental capacity and offer you a deal that you can’t refuse. Since there would be many roads to Rome, in this case, he wouldn’t resort to threatening you with the Death Note. If anything, with L tailing him, having you suddenly die or report him as Kira and then die would be very suspicious and make things more complicated than needed. So he would blackmail you the old fashion way, or use Ryuk to some capacity.

Next to his feelings for you, having you at his side would serve another purpose - you would act in his stead should he be incapacitated. With two people on the job, the whole thing would go even faster, and give the appearance of an organisation to L. Asides, while Light is arrogant and under a lot of scrutiny and thus makes mistakes, you wouldn’t be, or at least not to the extent that Light is.

Perhaps he’ll even draw you to his side, and make you see things his way. In that case, it would eradicate some of the fears that he would have about you acting against him. Also, with you looking at the other woman in Light’s life, like Misa, you would come to the conclusion that being the goddess of the new world wouldn’t be a really good position to be in. Best stay the secretary.

Yandere Tadaomi Karasuma - Normie

Karasuma would be drawn to you exactly because you are normal. You are no government agent or super spy or assassin-in-training. You are just a normal person, caught up in something far too big for you to handle; way out of your depth in many ways. To him, you would represent an opportunity to just switch off from all the official business for a few hours, touch grass and all that jazz. But because you are worlds apart in many a sense, he would start to dig his claws in you.

Through the whole experience with Koro-sensei, you would be forced into a world where you would have to hit the ground running, and learn fast. Though you’d probably never be on the level where you would be able to go toe-to-toe with any of the special staff, or even the students for that matter, you would still have to be aware of the basics. With that, two things would become a reality - you would gain an understanding of all the spy and agent shenanigans, and therefore would understand Karasuma when he would complain about his day to you. Secondly, it would probably be him that reached out to you to help you with the situation, and thus a bond would form.

At first, he would tell himself that he would have to be more privy to your daily going-ons for security reasons. If anything, you would be the weak link in the chain, and he would have to make sure that you don’t spill the tea or become a chess piece of third parties. Then, he would convince himself that he would have to spend so much time for you to ensure that you don’t have a mental breakdown. The whole situation would be never stressful in any case, and the last thing that would be needed would be for a normal staff member to become out of commision.

These would all be excuses and justifications that he would formulate to distract himself from his own feelings for you, and why he is spending so much time with you. This problem would just be exacerbated by the fact that the octopus would ship the two of you - hard. It might even be that, that would force him to acknowledge his own feelings to you.

With the pressure of the world ending, the secrecy and his own disposition, the agent would find himself spending an unnatural amount of time with you. Since he’d be one of the very few that would be in the know about the whole situation, you would find yourself embracing it - to a certain extent. Beyond a certain point, he would start spending too much time with you, maybe even going so far as to make you move in with him. All your concerns and protests would be waved away due to “security concerns” and the like.

Due to that exact reasoning, he would do background checks on your family and friends, and start dictating who you can see and not. When the attacks on the school would start, this point would become all the more relevant. All that would make his protectiveness over you increase. The worst part of it would be that you wouldn’t be able to do a lot against him, since he would have the power and the skills to control your life and make all his arguments seem plausible to third parties.

gender swap.

request: how do you think a female wammy’s boys, lawliet and light would be?

# tags: headcanons; gender swap; slice of life; mostly fluff; maybe angst or drama; also comedy (a bit); sfw

includes: light yagami, l lawliet, beyond birthday, nate river, mail jeevas & mihael keehl {death note}

— LIGHT

↘ Oh, she is definitely one of the most beautiful women in the university and gets a scholarship every year for her academic achievements. She is not competitive and doesn’t try to be; she simply has an innate talent for quickly remembering informations and numbers and uses it to get the best grades, and thus awards or recognition among professors.

↘ She is not very interested in relationships; many boys chase after her, but she doesn’t care at all. Brown-haired girl much more prefers to focus on her career and private goals (both in the Kira case and her job in the investigative department).

↘ Nevertheless, if the situation requires it, she will use her charm and grace to achieve what she needs. This woman will stop at nothing when her own life is at stake.

— LAWLIET

↘ I imagine she’s wearing these cool, fluffy hoodies and huge pants tightly tightened around the waist. She is the definition of a woman who likes to play video games, drink energy drinks, watch anime and sit in her own room (alone).

↘ Just like the original L, she also likes sweets and juicy fruits. I imagine her favorites are mango or peaches. In my head I think that she is a vegetarian and cooks well to maintain a healthy, balanced diet based on the right products.

↘ She is an introvert and it’s hard to make friends with her, even though I personally find her a very attractive woman. However, she seems to be unapproachable and therefore has no success in friendship or love.

— BEYOND

↘ She is a loner who devotes herself to her own projects. She has at most one friend, but she lives alone in a small studio apartment with her beloved cat (she is definitely a cat-person).

↘ She studies criminology or forensic psychology and likes to listen to podcasts. She has very good grades, but very rarely appears in class (he comes to universities only when there are exams). The professors have no problem with her, but they know that she is a rather mysterious girl who struggles with personal problems. Nevertheless, she does very well, although she is an outcast.

↘ That girl enjoys night time and loves spending time with her cat while watching crime shows on Netflix. She definitely has trouble sleeping.

— NATE

↘ Another nerd. The best student in the year, the best student in the field and the best student in the entire university. In addition, she is artistically and musically talented (playing the violin and piano, #canon). Although she doesn’t have many friends, she is quite popular and her white hair catches the eye of most students. She is very liked by the professors, even if she looks at the window during classes and does not write anything in her notebook.

↘ I think she is fluent in French, German, English, Japanese and Swedish. She likes to learn new things – she remembers everything so easily. And also has a natural talent for this type of thing.

↘ She doesn’t have a driving license and is afraid to drive. She’s definitely using other people for a free ride.

— MAIL

↘ Not studying. I think she found work as a graphic designer, game tester or digital game designer. It’s something she likes and she’s really good at it. In the future, she would like to set up her own studio where she would create games.

↘ I have a vision in my head that she is sharing a room in an apartment with several people and she is that girl who likes to party and come home late. Plus, she smokes cigarettes and likes to sleep in late – a real example of a bad girl you don’t have to worry about if your boyfriend hangs out with her after school on a project.

↘ Nevertheless, she is a girl who sleeps with her favorite stuffed animal at night and I have no excuse for that, I just feel in my heart that she has a little brown teddy bear without one eye that she got from her favorite grandma and always sits on her bed waiting for her to come home.

— MIHAEL

↘ She has many friends, but only one true bestie, with whom she is perfectly matched in characters. She swears, she smokes, she’s always late, she’s sophisticated, she’ll take your boyfriend away if you get in her way... She does not like nosy people and gossip about herself, which is why she always deals with such matters personally, preferably behind the walls of the building or between the garages.

↘ She is brutal and emotionless. She has definitely not yet met a person who could heal this little, wishing for happiness heart. Currently, she lives alone and spent nights in the arms of random men. She doesn’t mind.

↘ Somewhere in the back of my mind I have a vision that she has been to the police station more than once for theft or battery. But she has a rich dad, so she gets away with everything.

Top 5 fictional characters who make the WORST decisions? You can pick a specific medium (video games, books, TV shows etc) if the list is too long!

Oh, man, I love so many characters who make bad decisions! This is going to be tricky.

I'm not sure whether your question was 'who are your five favourite characters who make terrible decisions?' or 'of your favourite characters, which five make the worst decisions?', so I'll give you two lists.

Five terrible decision-makers who I love, emphasis on 'who I love':

Sean Diaz from Life Is Strange 2. Look, I cannot blame this kid for going on the run with his nine-year-old brother. He was panicking, the police were coming, and a police officer had just ruined his entire life, so naturally he was unwilling to stick around and encounter more of them. It was a deeply understandable decision, but it was nonetheless a decision that fucked a lot of things up.

Ellie from The Last of Us. I started loving Ellie in the first game, which was before she started making really terrible decisions. But I still love her after her desperate 'if I kill enough people, I'll feel better, right? right???' quest of the second game, and that definitely means she qualifies for this list.

Jack Shephard from Lost. Jack is a grieving, angry, unstable mess who's been thrown into a leadership position when he's barely clinging onto any form of reason with his fingernails. He has a lot of intense feelings, a gigantic saviour complex, poor self-control and no ability to delegate. Everything he does is a) guaranteed to blow up in his face and b) absolutely fascinating to me.

James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2. Look, if your dead wife tells you to come to a town, and then the town is full of monsters, you turn around and leave. I feel like there was another big terrible decision he made too, but I can't - I can't quite remember. That's weird. I wish I had a recording or something to jog my memory.

Light Yagami from Death Note. Light is very smart, but he's also very proud, and he loves using his own intelligence to convince himself that the correct course of action coincidentally happens to be the thing he really wants to do. Yes, if he kills these people in this way, it'll make him look suspicious. But that's what he wants! It's all part of his ingenious plan to catch L, and totally not just because he wants to send L a personal 'fuck you' message. The 'fuck you' is coincidental. This is a very smart move.

Five terrible decision-makers who I love, emphasis on 'terrible decision-makers':

Seifer Almasy from Final Fantasy VIII. One of the first terrible decision-makers I ever developed a fondness for! Seifer, you can't assist an evil sorceress in taking over the world just because you think it's cool and romantic and you really want to show up your rival at school.

WD Gaster from @zarla-s's Undertale fancomic Handplates. Gaster is an expert in doing terrible things while convincing himself that there's definitely, definitely no other course of action. He's awful and I love him.

Chloe Price from Life Is Strange. Chloe is an absolute disaster in a way I find refreshing from a female character. Playing Life Is Strange is a struggle because I want Chloe to like me, but everything she wants me to do is terrible. I don't want to steal money or shoot people or hang up on my distraught friend, Chloe!

Aaaaand Jack Shephard and Light Yagami again. Fascinating characters. I could watch them making ill-advised decisions all day.

Honourable mentions to the other characters who crossed my mind while I was working on these lists:

Mike Munroe from Until Dawn

Lightning 'look, I don't expect punching a god in the face to go well, but I reeeeeally want to punch this god in the face' Farron from Final Fantasy XIII

Jeff Winger from Community

Mondo Owada from Danganronpa

Dr Cox from Scrubs

Keiichi Maebara from Higurashi. I realise there are extenuating circumstances, but murder isn't going to solve your problems! Stop murdering people!

The instant I post this, I'm going to think of twenty other characters I should have mentioned.

#ask #life is strange #silent hill #death note #lost #the last of us #undertale #final fantasy viii #final fantasy

Suit and tieTai - Taiora one-shot

For @taioraweek 2023 Day 4

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

A/N: Another WIP that finally sees the light of day. Because I will never get tired of making these two oblivious dorks kiss for the first time in every universe possible.

Summary: It was one simple kiss that turned their ignorance into awareness of what had already been there the entire time...

Day 4: First kiss | Characters: Taichi Yagami (POV) x Sora Takenouchi | Genre: Subconscious blooming romance | Rating: K+ | Wordcount: 1.344

7:47am. When he woke up this morning, he had told himself he would start early, so he was sure to leave Hikari and Sora’s apartment on time for a change. But it had already been eight whole minutes since he had started fighting the tie around his neck in front of the mirror.

Frustrated with himself and that stupid string of fabric around his neck, Taichi growled. “I have this very important meeting at work I cannot mess up,” he said to no one in particular.

“You good?”

The female voice came from the kitchen and belonged to Sora, since Hikari had already left the house for her internship at the kindergarten. From the corner of his eyes, Taichi could see her peeking.

“Yes.” Taichi said, but didn’t sound to convincing. He decided to switch his answer. “No. This tie, I swear, these should be forbidden!”

Sora grinned, with her elbows she nonchalantly leant on the kitchen counter. “You’d think as someone working in suit and tie every day, you’re good at tying it by now.” She teased him.

“Except I’m not.” He was fully aware of his tone sounding annoyed. And he was, because somewhere deep down in him, he knew he would always struggle with it. “And never will be. Sor, can you help me one more time, please?”

He definitely needed her help. Like he had needed it all the other times he had stayed over these past couple of weeks.

Sora chuckled as she made her way over to him. “Come here.”

“Good thing I’m staying over.”

“You’re practically living here by now,” Sora joked while her hands prepared the two sides of the tie around his neck for the actual tying. Her eyes fixated on the accessory.

Sora’s joke was one with truth though. The girls’ apartment was closer to Taichi’s work than the loft where he lived with the three boys, plus, it had a more cozy atmosphere compared to the messy boys’ energy. He had lived with Yamato, Koushiro and Jyou during his entire time at university, but now that Taichi had started working, he was ready to go a different direction regarding his living space.

“I don’t want to be near Yamato and my cousin getting it on constantly.” Which was another big reason why he wasn’t at home right. He watched a blush forming on Sora’s cheeks, her hands still working on his tie, softly and with care.

“Too much information,” she said. “How about Koushiro-kun and Jyou-senpai?”

“Ugh, Jyou’s never at home, either in the hospital or with his girlfriend, and Koushiro is busy most of the time, hidden behind his desk and wall of computers. Different from me, the boy is resistant to Yamato and all of his bedroom shenanigans.”

Sora laughed. She spent a lot of time with Koushiro, her being one of those rare friends who could talk to him without any form of technology between them, and she was very much aware of Koushiro’s ability of radiating the ‘I’m not giving a shit’ energy.

“Jealous?”

“Please,” was Taichi’s answer.

He wasn’t jealous, it was just him being ready for a change of pace. And so he found himself crashing on the girls’ couch quite a few days per week. He had to admit though, it also came in very handy that Hikari or Sora –but mostly Sora—were always available to help him out with his daily outfit struggles.

Maybe he was in need of a life partner to settle down with, who could match his changed needs and wants, Taichi thought to himself, knowing he couldn’t keep crashing the girls’ couch forever.

“I much rather stay here with my lovely little sister and incredible friend who is—”

Sora patted his chest lightly and Taichi shifted his attention towards her hands after returning from his thoughts.

“… great at tying your ties.” Sora finished for him. Her feminine fingers worked their magic once more and a perfectly knotted tie hung loosely around his neck. She carefully adjusted his collar and the tie itself, making it look sharp. “There, you’re all set.”

The softness and collected happiness in her voice made Taichi smile. He showed her his signature grin before turning himself to the mirror to look at himself. Behind him he saw Sora look at him too and his own heart weirdly skipped a beat.

“Thanks,” he quickly said to cover himself, still genuinely happy with Sora’s fashion knowledge and friendly help. He walked past her to get to his jacket and coat.

“Oh! There’s this dinner thing at my place tonight, will you be there too?” Taichi remembered as he put the jacket and coat on.

“Sure will be,” Sora answered while on her way back to the kitchen. Again, he felt a bolt of luck going through his body and warming his chest.

“Great! Looking forward to it.” He hastily slid into his shoes, his eyes checking out the time on the watch around his wrist. “Shit! Okay, gotta rush, see you toni—”

“Wait! Not yet.” Sora shouted from the kitchen. Taichi already had the door opened, doorknob in his hand, as he turned his head around to see Sora crossing the small living room towards in a rushed pace. In her hand she held his lunchbox and he instantly remembered it was what he not only forgot to grab, but forgot to prep and pack as well…

“You left this,” she said it as if he hadn’t seen what she was bringing him. He took the box from her, immediately feeling it wasn’t empty, meaning she had not only noticed he forgot, but had actually prepped and packed it for him. The heat from his chest slowly rose to his cheeks. “Have a good day at work.”

She smiled at him with her kindest and most genuine smile. It made him smile in return and for just the briefest of moments, time stood still.

“Thank you, you too,” he said, suddenly realizing he was in a hurry. With the lack of air between the two of them, he swiftly close the gap and planted a quick kiss on her lip—

Wait.

He did what? When— how?

Time seemed to stand still once more.

“Erm… sorry,” Sora spoke first, face completely red, chest high from all the gathered air inside of it. “That wasn’t supposed to happen…”

Taichi shook his head, with that trying to get him out of his daze. “Right… So much for all the accusations of us looking like a married couple huh?” He joked, automatically resolving to comedy to cover up his own redness.

“Y-yeah, hehe…” Sora nodded as one hand moved itself nervously to her lips, her fingers touching the spot where he had pecked her like a husband kissing his spouse goodbye for the day.

Even though he had been unaware of his own feelings at first, apparently, his body had known what to do. The kiss blissfully happened by itself, showcasing both him and her what sparks had been exchanged. Not only during the time spent in this apartment together, but during their entire life by now.

It occurred to him that, rather than searching for someone to settle down with, perhaps he had already found that someone. Sleeping underneath the same roof, she tying his ties, bickering like only lovers could.

That it was just one simple kiss turning the ignorance into awareness.

The smile on his face grew bigger. As much as Taichi wanted to stay, especially now –to reflect a bit longer, to talk about his newfound excitement— he had to run.

“See you tonight, Sora.” Taichi said emphasizing her name as he took off.

He looked over his shoulder one more time, just to be met with the view of Sora waving him goodbye like they had indeed been married forever. To that, Taichi snickered to himself, in his securing Sora would be the one to untie his tie at the end of at least today.

Perhaps he could even steal another kiss from her…

into the new world

summary: in which touta matsuda really likes kpop rating: general author's note: LOOK. if you don't think matsuda listens to kpop you have not understood his character the way i have. do we think he would be a huge shawol by the time the timeskip happened? yes. yes we do.

read on ao3 | support me on kofi

"I'll get Matsuda to pick you up and bring you here," His father's voice crackled through the phone, every few syllables omitted by the service. But Light, sadly, understood exactly what he said. He couldn’t complain, not really; he knew L was leaning right over his father's shoulder, analysing each breath and sigh that the small microphone picked up.

It was easier to smile and nod. Even arguing he was a grown adult who could make his own way there would be suspicious, after all. He could almost hear L's stupid voice - "He doesn't want to be around a member of the Kira Task Force? 10%."

Besides, didn't Light Yagami get along with Matsuda?

"Sure, I'll grab him a coffee as a thank you." (Or was that too nice? Too late. His father had apparently already got the order. Fan-fucking-tastic.)

The line went dead. And Light let out a groan once he was absolutely sure the call had ended.

It was impossible to miss Matsuda's car. As soon as the sleek, black vehicle pulled up, the muffled sound of high pitched female voices carried through. The window opened, and the noise increased tenfold. He handed the drink over to Matsuda, who greeted him with a wide grin and sparkly eyes.

And then he got in, dumping his own latte in the second drink compartment. The music turned down a little, enough to allow him to think.

Light Yagami gets along with Matsuda, but Kira was at odds with everything he stood for. And so he sat there, staring blankly at the small stereo.

"What's this?" He finally bothered to ask, fusing his tone with some fake interest that his driver was far too stupid to pick up on.

"Oh! Girls' Generation." He glanced over, only taking his attention from the road for a few seconds. "They debuted in Korea a few months back, really good stuff." Flicked to another song. "You like?"

"Uh… Bit bubbly for me."

Fuck, he shouldn't have said that. "Ah… Well I have plenty more CDs at home! I'll find something you'd like more! Maybe TVXQ…" His voice trailed off as if he was deep in thought.

He knew that Matsuda wouldn't read too hard into his disinterest, so he just shrugged, taking a sip from his drink and leaning back. He had no interest in being watched like this, even if it was unlikely the reports would get back to L; he was Soichiro's son, and this guy definitely thought the light shone out his ass.

I want my cake and I want to eat it too

I want to have fun and be in love with you

I know that I'm a mess with my long hair

And my suntan, short dress, bare feet

I don't care what they say about me, what they say about me

Because I know that it's L-O-V-E

You make me happy, you make me happy

And I never listen to anyone

Continuing this ✨

Istg my schedule has drop kicked me but I WILL post today. So let’s go!

I’m doing three, so let’s start off with question 7, which is question 1 to me today.

The question asks, “What anime I’ve wanted to see, but haven’t.” And funnily enough, I have a whole note made in my notes app reminding me what manga and anime I’ve wanted to get into but haven’t had the chance to yet. They are:

Food wars

School judgement

Bungo stray dogs

Classroom of the elite

Jujitsu Kaisen

Say yes to heaven

I lost the leash of the yandere male lead

And a bit more than this, but it was a link and I didn’t want you guys to click on it because I forget what it is. Anyway, it’s funny because I don’t remember exactly why “Say yes to heaven” is on here, or what it’s are about. I’ve gotten a bit into Jujitsu Kaisen but only manga-wise cause my Hulu is acting funky and I don’t want to start paying for Crunchyroll and haven’t found time to get on Funimation.

Anyway the next question is my favorite canon (not actual) couple. I actually happen to have a few, because I’ve seen and played way too much anime in my life lol.

Akitoya (Akito x Toya from Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage)

They are best friends and seeing them support each other is adorable. They’ve been there for each other in the highs and lows in both of there lives, holding each other up. It’s shows how kind both of them are, and how close they are to each other. If you take the people that ship Kohane x An, you can see that the only people left to ship are Akito and Toya! Honestly I could ramble about the two them all day, but we have to move on to the next one!

Ruikasa (Rui x Tsukasa from Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage)

Honestly I don’t have much to say about this ship. I got into it because my friend who recently started playing started shipping them right away. So I guess she ended up passing the obsession she has not only with the game but the ship to me, but now I support it whole heartedly. I could see the duo being cute, and the hilarious shenanigans they could get into, but it seems the people of Ruikasa got to me before the idea even crossed my mind lol.

Mikalight (Light Yagami x Mikami from Death Note)

I support this ship only because the devotion Mikami has for Light. You can see how far he’s willing to go, even though he got arrested in the end. Even though Light Yagami is supposed to be “dating” Miss Amane, you can see he doesn’t have any feelings for her by how he manipulates her and Takada. Maybe a part of myself ships this ship so Misa could get away from Light and how toxic he is even though she has as much devotion towards him as L does to a cake.

These are the three canon couples I could think of at the moment, so let’s move onto the next question!

Third and last question is what couple that is actually dating is my favorite? Ummmm that’s a good question cause I legit forget who is dating and dive into the lore but I think I can think of one.

Yuno Gasai x whoever the protagonist is of my future diary

Female/Male Ayano x Female/male sempai

I’ve always been a stickler for yandere x whatever tropes, and it seems that that has even followed me into anime lol. I’m running out of time currently so this is the end of this post, thank you so much for reading! Remeber to drink water and eat a healthy meal because you’re important!

Practiced Foolishness (Yandere! Matsuda Touta x Fem! Reader)

Warnings: Yandere character, yandere behavior, slight stalking, manipulation, etc.

Anonymous Request: HENWOOO! It's meee! I've read a lot of the Yandere! Character ones you had and...hehe, you guessed it...can you make one but with Matsuda?👀👀👀 a yandere Matsuda x female reader?

Touta was no idiot.

Sure, he wasn’t as hardened or as cynical as his coworkers when it came to investigations and upholding the system to keep up the status quo, but he was still a grown adult who had been exposed to the horrors of criminality. If there was one thing that he learned over the years, it was that it was easy to pretend that he wasn’t as affected by the degeneracy that accompanied the tragedies of police work. That smile on his face? That was him trying to feel something that wasn’t existential dread. He wanted to show others that he was still human underneath the suit and the badge.

It was with that philosophy, to embrace these sides of life, both the gritty and the vibrant, with particular emphasis on the vibrant, that Touta tried to live life. It bled into his workplace relationships, his acquaintances that he managed to hold onto, and to his special romance that he had with you.

You were so beautiful, a light in the dark that was rapidly descending on the world. Ever since he had first seen you, helping him up when he had tripped over his shoes while carrying a tray filled with coffee, that he realized that even when Kira was at large and he was treated like a nuisance at work, he was still deserving of the love and affection usually afforded to couples.

Ever since that day, Touta made sure to always be on coffee duty. If L or the other investigators were caught off guard by the fact that Touta was adamant that he was the one to leave the building just to get L’s favorite coffee, they didn’t show it. However, the elder Yagami had taken Touta aside, a worried, but stern look in his eyes.

“Don’t get distracted while we’re all working on this investigation, Matsuda. I know that this situation is stressful and we all need time to destress, but if you can’t put all of your focus on catching Kira…”

Touta knew that his superior had already harbored doubts about him, but it rankled him. Didn’t his coworkers trust him to know what he was doing? It wasn’t as if he was slacking off. Wasn’t retrieving coffee for the world’s greatest detective one of his main strengths? The rest of the team hadn’t blinked the second L relegated Touta to being an errand runner, but when he was actually compliant, they began to ask questions?

It was annoying.

However, Touta was kind and patient. Despite what reservations he had, he wanted to make sure that he was still on the good side of his coworkers.

“Of course, chief!” He rubbed the back of his head with a bashful look on his face. He didn’t need to pretend to look foolish—he had years to practice that expression. “Don’t worry about me, just focus on catching Kira.”

And while everyone else was intent on capturing Kira, Touta was focused on you.

To be clear, he didn’t slack off when it came to analyses of reports or following leads. However, he could not deny that he spent his days thinking about you, wanting to be near you. Over the next few weeks after that initial encounter, he had brushed past you at least a dozen times, caught your name, and eventually looked into your social media accounts.

You were beautiful.

You were kind.

But it wasn’t just the social media aspects that gripped him. Rather, it was the fact that in real life, you smiled at him. You thought him to be responsible and important.

Hadn’t you told him a few days ago that he was punctual and you could count on him to be there at the precise time every day? Touta thought that he could combust. Finally, someone out there who could appreciate him without picking him apart through criticism.

To Touta, it was a refreshing change of pace.

However, passing by you every day, exchanging a few words here and there weren’t enough. Touta could glean bits and pieces of your personality from what you posted online, but he wanted to know the true you.

What you curated on your social media was only the tip of the iceberg.

Therefore, in order to really know you, he needed to be a part of your life.

Thanks to your previous comments and small interactions, it should not have been a hard task for him to get you to fully trust him. After all, he was a man of the law and a fool in love.

What harm could he ever do to you?

It went like this:

The way he drops one of the styrofoam cups of coffee is believable. Ordinary. You would have laughed if someone told you that Touta had timed it just so, had splashed enough coffee on himself to appear frazzled and dazed instead of pathetic. When you helped him to his feet and helped dry himself with serviettes and tissues, you would have thought him charming and sweet.

Touta is not an idiot.

He knows that he’s acting in his own self interest, possibly compromising the state of the Kira investigation.

He knows that what he’s doing is not normal.

But most of all, he knows that you’ll fall for him like this because if you knew how practiced his clumsiness and stupidity were… you would have never looked at him with the kindness that he alone deserved.

DISCLAIMER: I do not condone yandere behavior outside of fictional settings. Please don’t mistake the actions of fictional characters displayed in works of fiction to be considered harmless in real life.

What do you think the dynamic of a female Soichiro and female Light, as well as male sachicko would be?

K:- Well that would depend entirely on which variation of them we go with. We mentioned a few options in the original question, and I am sure we could come up with a lot of potential variations. But that would make it harder to answer the question... What are your thoughts Eclipse?

E:-Oh wow still got asks for gender DN. That is interesting one. The dynamic is changed in that current time its set it. To me at least seeing as Soichiro is the one in charge as a female detective

K:-I was surprised at the attention genderswap DN received. None of the other things I have posted have gotten asks about them, let alone so many. Its surprising and flattering. They like us. Its nice. Thanks for waiting.

We discussed a few. Different possibilities for how the gender change could have changed their jobs and perspectives.

Do you think F-Soichiro being in charge as senior female detective would give her a tenser relationship with L?

E:-Mmm. I honestly think it be the same either way. But a lot more respect seeings as fem L is more restrained in her weirdness. Respect to your fellow detective in a male oriented work force.

K:-Would probably be pretty frustrating to be on the case, only for some higher up to decide "this person is now in charge of the case" and you meet this famous detective that everyone raves about, who is adding a ludicrous amount of sugar to her tea, and decides that , no actually emptying the sugar bowl once is not enough.

She then sends Matsuda to get more sugar and coffee for everyone else. Matsuda does, which you feel is a betrayal in some way.

You stare at her, and wonder how in the world she was put in charge, when you have been bashing against the sexism in the system for years.

E:-!!! True! Inner sexism.

God, working and having to put more effort into your image to be taken seriously and now meeting the world biggest detective and they're like this.

K:-I can see her taking it with a lot of salt

E:-And maybe a brandy with it too. Fem Light also taking shots at fem Matsuda.

K:-No, fem Light is offended.

"Excuse you L, Matsuda is a Yagami family friend! How dare you!"

She doesn't say out loud, but is thinking.

Maybe she doesnt think the highest of Matsuda, but Ls here taking shots, and now its suddenly the biggest offense.

E:-Bahaha! Okay but I do genuinely love that! Sorry am thinking of male Light more than fem in this case.

Its giving "Hey Only I can Pick on Her." Also loving how they are pretty close.

K:- wait, this is meant to be about Lady Lights relationship with her gender swapped parents, and already female L is pretty heavily involved.

Hmm, the thing about Light, is she's a people pleaser on the surface. She's modeled herself on peoples expectations, climbed up on that pedestals herself, and appears perfect. Lights smart, popular and pretty, a reflection of what everyone wants from their child on the surface.

Canon Light looks up and to his parents, but does not really share his life with them... Or anyone. His father, who he looks up to, is rarely around, on the job to the point of having a perfectly natural heart attack, and his mother... I don't get the sense he knows her too well, or else she might have gotten more prominence in the story.

She notices things about him, but rarely more then he seems to want her to see. Thats kind of Light's relationship with most people. They can respect each other, but they know each other, but they know each other as roles mostly.

Sayu knows Light as brother. Perfect, helpful, and out of reach. She admires him, but doesn't try to be him, beacuse he's as out of reach to her abilities as the moon is. To his mother, Light is a dutiful and studious son, who is good at what he set's out to do. To his father, Light is the dutiful and studious and wants to be like him. An ideal son and brother.

For instance, if I remember right, she notices her son never had a serious girlfriend, and seems sad when he tells her he has one. I get the vibe that she knew he was doing something he really didn't want to on that one.

Light would proably be a little closer with her mother in this AU, in that they probably do more activities together, as its expected. Mom has things to teach her, and Light is a copycat. As the Justice based Death note AU is still going forward, she's still into Justice and planning to become an officer, and not get into teaching or whatever.

So there is still that conflict between sociential expectations, and Lights intrests causing tension, its just much more overt.

And thats in a scenario where the nuclear family dynamic is in place.

If her mother or both of them are at work, then Lights feelings about her parents get more complex. I get the sense that she's proud of them, and resents them, for how they make their family different. She's putting all this effort into being a perfect Japanese girl, but her dad stays home and her mother loves her job more then her. Maybe its why she puts so much effort into being the perfect Japanese lady in that AU.

Or in the "they both work as Cops" AU, there's more resentment, beacuse on top of being abnormal, She's also raising Sayu, and running the household, and having perfect grades and shit. Probably has more trouble with the popularity, but given canon Light managed to be poupluar with the insane amount of studying and "studying" he did, while still managing to have enough connections and clout to take a girl on a date on a murder whim, I have faith she could manage, being the overachiever she is. Insanly high Charisma stat and all.

E:- I like what you have in mind for Fem Light

K:-I think Light finds blending in important, even as he wants to stand out as special.

E:-As far as Light is he is the main character

K:-And it would have a lot more complicated feelings on that as a Japanese girl.

E:-The most important. The one who has hidden knowledge and of course his words are truth.

Oh absolutely. In a society where those traits would be fantastic in a boy as a girl it is told to be muted or non existent.

To be reserved and modest. Which isn't bad when its WILLINGLY chosen by the girl themselves. But in Light's case standing out too much isn't the way she wants.

K:-We all are the protagonist of our own story, but Lights to the point of viewing people as NPCs I guess.

So, arguably is L, as he takes on cases that interest him in complexity, not necessarily for the sake of saving people.

E:-She wants that power. However as a girl she would have to go a more indirect approach. Its more of proving he can do this and nothing can go against him.

Ego.

K:-Willingly is a matter of debate. After all, where is the line between willing truly and social pressure of conformity to get along easier in society?

L rejects it and avoids people, and Light glues the mask firmly to his face.

Lights a people pleaser. And that would be even easier to see in a girl.

E:-Actually now that you say that I do wonder how to tell if one is modest. Most think by clothing but is it personality or-?

K:-I think modest personality is not prone to bragging and playing down the praise.

After all, people say things like "Don't be modest, you've more then earned this."

Bug I'm sure that's not all of it.

E:-Very much so. If anything I am reminded of that Patrick Bateman quote.

"there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there."

K:-That's a good quote.

E:-Again its surprising how it resonated with women. At first it was hated but rewatching it--- it was seen as oddly feminist.

Hi if you're still accepting request could you please make a fluffy one shot with light Yagami when he was still not that Kira crazy where he goes out with his bestie just to realize that he likes her, please 👉👈

Yes! Pre Kira Light!

Reader is female based on anons request, but gender isn't really mentioned, so please imagine whatever you wish

Light Yagami has never fallen in love.

Why does his heart pound whenever your hand brushes against his? Why is the thought of you distracting him from his studies?

Every "why" has some kind of "because," so what's the "because" in this scenario? Light doesn't know.

Your laugh, smile, the odd habits you have, all of them are endearing to him.

His pride keeps him from consulting a human being. But all his books say that this is what love feels like.

You've been friends for years! Light realizes (albeit with a shock) that the idea of you saying no hurts him.

You hum, stepping through the snow, making little footprints. Light watches quietly, and you wonder if he's angry. It's hard to tell sometimes if Light is mad, or just analyzing. But when a small smile crosses his face, you decide he's just focused.

Light swallows. A man of nothing but sheer pride, he's afraid to say anything, but the feeling of you never knowing seems to surpass his pride.

"Y/N."

You turn. "What's up?"

"I love you."

Blunt. You can't really sense emotion behind it, but Light is a master at hiding his feelings. Especially the troublesome ones.

You smile softly. "Ah."

He looks back at you, expression stony, but you swear you see nervousness on it.

"Um," you clear your throat. "I-"

Light turns away. Of course, it was a mistake. Letting his emotions rule was a mistake.

"I love you too, Light."

For the first time, a huge grin appears on his face. "Really?"

You hug him. "Would I lie about that?"

His gaze softens and he closes his eyes, unsure how to react to physical affection.

You're both silent. Nothing needs said.

And a few weeks later, a sudden hug from you keeps him from noticing a black notebook falling from the sky...

I think you mentioned Death Note before. My question here is simple: does Misa's ending seems good?

I know anime and manga have different endings for her but ade they good for her? I ask bc I always wonder if sexism was a play on Misa's character or if we are supposed to see her like that. A sad pawn fot Light.

Talking about the manga and comic.

What is a good ending?

But before that, a note on sexism in Death Note

Holy God, the Sexism in Death Note

There are no female characters in Death Note. This is a bit of an exaggeration but one that's sadly and hilariously true.

Sayu is tertiary character who barely gets any lines and meets a mysterious and horrifying fate where we last see her in a wheelchair and non-responsive, highly implying she was raped, and this is just... never touched on. It's not even not touched on, Sayu basically gets punted out of the story at the earliest convenience after serving her purpose of being kidnapped and making Light miserable for a little while.

Sachiko is even less of a character, getting even less lines, and pretty much shunted out of the way of the entire story. We never get much of a look of how the ongoing Kira investigation, the death of Soichiro, and the death of Light affects the surviving Yagamis Sayu and Sachiko (nor what they're told even happened at the end of the day).

There are no women on the task force. Ever.

Wedy isn't even a character: she's just a jump suit and a motorcycle who... does things for L? Unclear, it's honestly not even clear why she ever even shows up in a panel at all.

Naomi Misora gets a glorious episode or two/volume devoted to her. Then she was too smart so they killed her off (no, really, this is the explanation of why she had to die/be written out of the story.)

Takeda at least gets lines but... she's treated almost as comedic relief/a fool in the end and one mercilessly played by Light who has little to no understanding of what's going on at any given moment.

Misa is actually one of the series' more clever characters, but the series never admits it as you get characters like L constantly belittling her accomplishments even when she goes and collects evidence of Higuchi being Kira for him. Thanks Misa, so glad you helped out with that one.

My point being though, when it comes to women, Death Note is one of the worst anime/manga I've ever seen.

But Back to Misa's End

I actually don't have too many problems with it.

Misa as a character is a tragic one who bases her entire identity on Light. Especially as she keeps undoing her memories and she loses even her reasons for being with Light in the first place as well as much of what drives her. Misa sacrifices so much of herself in the series it almost demands this needless death/unecessary tragedy on her own part due to the choices she made through the series. When Light goes, she has little reason to stick around, hence her suicide.

More, Misa halved her lifespan so many times, even with the Shinigami bonus, that I'd rather we see her die in the series than not. We know that Misa must pay a price for this, and this price may come at any moment.

Misa's end is a bit like Chekov's Gun, given how much it's referenced and that we know it's coming very soon, I do want to see it at the end of things.

Everyone involved with Kira meets tragic ends and Misa is no exception.

While she falls into the pit of female Death Note characters being... female Death Note Characters, I have no issue with her ending and am not automatically raising my "sexism ahoy!" flag.

Death Note has much much much worse examples in that department.

What Did the Author's Want?

The authors were very clear in that they wanted Light/the Kira gang to be unsympathetic and deserving of their ends. Misa can't get a good end any more than Light can. And they went very far out of their way to ensure that Light lost. Uh, ridiculously and unrealistically so.

They really wanted him to lose that one.

In general, Death Note's not one of those series where I agree with the authors much if at all and I have strong disagreements for how they handled the series (basically anything from the Yotsuba arc onward).

So, I'm really not the one to ask about this.
