It looks like asks are turned on! Can I request writing or, like, headcanons about how the death note characters laugh? I mean obvs thereβs Kiraβs silly evil laugh but what about pre-Kira light and L?

L Lawliet π°
first off, he doesn't laugh very often.
memes? nothing. jokes? nothing. sarcasm? nothing. This doesn't mean he doesn't find any of these funny, he just doesn't have the urge to actually laugh.
but Light falling down the Task Force stairs? YES.
L finds other things funny too but there's just... something special about watching Light mess up...
if he's around people he trusts he's likely to laugh more, at super not funny things especially. for example, bad puns, horribly edited memes or videos, and dark jokes are high on the list. (I may or may not also find these things very funny)
anyway that got into when he laughs. as for HOW he laughs: it varies depending on how funny something is.
Mildly amusing? Dry chuckle. almost sounds like a cough or the engine of a car if that makes sense. sometimes he will say (with no change in tone whatsoever), "haha. that was quite amusing."
Hilarious? the man is cackling and wheezing.
high pitched, like a hyena...
Light Yagami ποΈ
you guys might hate me but
Light is a GIGGLER!!!
this kind of embarrasses him so he can usually make it sound more like a chuckle, this is also how he does fake-laughs when he's Kira and wants to hide the crazy-laughs.
I think he'd find animals and cute stuff worth a little laugh just because it's amusing and they bring joy to his life
that said I think Kira version of Light wouldn't laugh as much. He's under a lot of stress, he doesn't see the joy in life any more. Light is just there to fulfil his mission, to cleanse the world of evil, and he's so dedicated to this cause that he doesn't find time to appreciate the good that already exists in this world
damn that got sad for a post about laughter
uhhh anyway other people laughing inevitably sets Light off too, even as Kira he struggles not to laugh when L or Matsuda does. Misa's laughs, not so much of a problem. They just concern him...
Misa Amane π
hold on this is kind of hard actually...
you know what, I think she'd make other noises instead of actual "laughs."
such as squeaking, squawking, honking, all those funny words used to describe people who laugh but don't really laugh. shakes her head and sighs a lot at dad jokes but she secretly loooves them.
if she actually laughs it will be hahahahahhahaa-gasp-hahahhahahaha where it gradually gets higher pitched and the sound stops and she's just breathing in a squeaky manner. Misa will also start waving her body and arms back and forth like she's going to hit her knees, but only hits air.
sounds a little like she's dying tbh
Misa used to be embarrassed about her laugh when she was little, but she grew to learn it just means she's happy! so she likes it
though she would never laugh if she's livestreaming or anything like that, like Light she'd have a fake laugh (a typical girly giggle) for such occasions.
Touta Matsuda π¦
this guy is like so normal help hahjajjajjasjsj
I think he would often like scream and then laugh (especially on roller coasters, watching horror movies, being jump-scared, all that)
wheezes a little, goes "oh God- oh God- no no stop-"
his stomach starts to hurt because if Matsu starts laughing he just like. does not stop. he goes into hysterics.
would end up rolling on the floor and struggling to breathe
"Matsuda it was just a bad bee pun, are you alright?" because he'd suddenly be set off by one silly thing like that and just be chuckling and laughing and all for the next few hours. and expect it to start again if someone makes the mistake of saying "bees" in the next few days
Okay but his mouth would go all squiggly like Charlie Brown's when he's trying to hold in a laugh.
shoving his bright red face into a pillow and trying not to scream in laughter, literally this man is DYING at every lame joke. he loves really long jokes too.
this guy is not actually so normal after all...
Near π§Έ
like L, he does not laugh very often
unlike L, this statement is ONLY true for when he's in the company of others. when alone I think Near does a fair bit of laughing, though it's quiet
it's just the kind of vulnerability and genuine enjoyment that he only feels safe to express when he's alone...
anyway Near's laugh is a little rough like he's not used to doing it. he might chuckle for a while, or just let out a quick and sharp "HA!" if he's more startled into laughter. the first one is more private, the second he might let out a couple of times in company
I think Near would also lie in bed at night and just laugh at the ceiling. maybe especially if he's had a bad day. it makes him feel a little better and reminds him that there are good things in the world! Because when Near laughs he remembers the other things that have made him laugh
it's a sign he likes and trusts someone if he laughs with them
Near can also mimic lots of different kinds of laughs. I feel like he's a storyteller, even if he only tells the stories to himself, so this skill can come in very useful!
Mello π«
HE HAS AN EVIL VILLAIN LAUGH
less disturbing than Light's Kira laugh BUT IT'S STILL KIND OF SCARY IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE
but most people are quick to realise he's just laughing. laughing a little like a crazy person but it's easy to tell, if you take the time to observe, that he's just genuinely enjoying himself
Matt ALWAYS knows what to say to make Mello laugh
(Mello tries not to laugh at Matt though, mostly because he's a little ass who doesn't want to give him the satisfaction)
Actually, his laugh is kind of sweet to listen to in a way??
I don't know how to explain that and the villain-laugh headcanon fitting together but they do, just trust me. it may sound evil but it is super sweet
hahaha he thinks he's a badass his laugh sounds like he's a badass but somehow it's not badass at all.
The opposite of Near, he's more likely to laugh around others.
I think his favourite thing to laugh at is really bad movies. Just making fun of them, ridiculing the plot, and though some people thinks he sucks the fun out of it he finds it enjoyable
Matt π¬
laughs often, doesn't GENUINELY laugh often.
he's a smoker right? well, I think that makes it clear that he's got a smoker's kind of laugh. he might end up coughing if he laughs too long
don't smoke kids
Matt's always had more of a throaty laugh though, he's a low chuckle kind of guy. unless he's tired or REALLY amused, in which case he'll cackle.
When typing he does a keyboard smash laugh: AJHSHAHAJAJA
I think he laughs at himself often. Matt in particular I haven't seen his dn appearances in years but I think he's a pretty chill guy most of the time, happy to give a laugh if someone insults his fashion taste.
not a headcanon but I wonder if a PC emoji would fit better...
Loves to make other people laugh too!! will lighten the mood or turn a chuckle into an uproar with a few really good bad jokes or a funny assortment of actions or impressions
He pokes fun at everyone and everything because when you take life too seriously, you don't enjoy it.
