Video #2 from the Second Kira arrives.

Hearing the word “Shinigami,” L falls out of his chair.

#I’ve thought about this a lot and I have to believe this has something to do with Beyond #hear me out #I know he wasn’t canonically existent at this point sure #and I told myself that this overblown reaction could be L’s sudden understanding of his own mortality #ie: he will die because this is not human #BUT he already acknowledged that Kira was probably killing supernaturally #correct me if I’m wrong please #but this reaction has always been tricky for me to make sense of #I mean L doesn’t make sense a lot case in point “it was terrible” etc #but if he knew about shinigami from B #from the LABB murders #then this reaction makes sense??? #okay bye #death note

Please tell me more about Matt/Light friendship im intrigued

SO anon in the time that you have sent this, while holding the hand of tumblr user @neallo i have moved from 'haha wouldn't it be funny if light and matt were friends' to 'they should get married for real.' here is my pitch: this would be The Death Note Fluff Ship of all time. also, and i am so serious about this, it would fix light.

ok so. in most ships, the other partner relates to light on the basis of his brilliance and neuroticism. they see beneath his mask and find something a little cruel and they love him for it. however!! this is not the only side to light. he is also just some guy with very regular interests. he loves consommé chips and video games and MMA. he apparently watches enough television to record a whole shelf of VCRs. he may or may not have been involved in some minor delinquency. (at minimum, his friends don't think he'll be bothered by their own.)

i think light hides these things just as much as he hides all of his cruelty and fear, because before he was a serial killer he was invested in being a serious, straight-a model teenager.

matt would love these things. we know like seven things about matt but literally all of them suggest that their interests would align perfectly. matt is also brilliant, which is a quality light likes, and i think he'd really like meeting someone who is both extremely competent in the way he values and entirely unashamed of playing gameboy all day. also, we can see from the way he interacts with mello that matt absolutely knows how to handle people who are a bit volatile. he seems to let it happen without responding either positively or negatively, and i think that's basically the one and only thing you could do to wind light down.

idk!! i think they'd get along for real, romantically or otherwise. i think they'd like sitting in the couch together, drinking soda and trading off the controller for a one-person game. this would of course have to be an au for the obvious reason (dead) but i think it would actually be great.

#this is so great and so funny #I’m losing it Tysm for this #Death Note

One thing about teaching primary/middle school is that people who I care about a lot and are good people will be so condescending to me about my work. The spelling bee is a real case in point. I’m designing and running this 300 person event on my own and so when my roommate asks how my day was and I say long, difficult, the deadline for the organized word list and rule book is in three days, she says “Can’t you get chatGPT to do that?” as though ChatGPT knows how to differentiate what a 6 year can spell and what a 10 year old can spell, let alone the jump between one year at that age. I’m overwhelmed, basically. My feelings hurt.

#I love her a lot but this isn’t the first time #like I get so tired after marking all night #and she’s said to me “it’s not like it’s academic editing #ahh

^ this sequence feels SO tragic with the context that the top left panel is actually from this conversation:

Near looks so content and blissfully unaware while Mello is having a crisis over his own impending death 😭

#mello knowing he has to orchestrate his own death and going through every step of that plan is something that haunts me always #and tbh was the reason that I originally was more obsessed with successors and mellodramattic than anything else #that's also why this scene is my header image #death note

I can’t ever leave tumblr because I just love the tag function.. no other social media platform allows you to heckle yourself on your own post. you get to preemptively make metatextual commentary abt your OWN POST. how cool is that

Americans are unhinged for color. that's a random assortment of letters. colorful. what even does that say.

color is too big a word to exist in only five letters get it together
