#As for whether or not L is a cheating cheaterson - i guess that depends on whether or not you consider torturing people to try and break

Near is only interesting to me if Matsuda is correct and he's actually the type who will cheat to win tbh
#there's authorial intent to make him a childish brat and a bit eviler and i think that supports matsuda's theory nicely
#it distinguishes near as his own person beyond a switch in colour and gimick and calls a lot of things into question which i think make for
#an interesting reversal/reappraisal of the dynamics
#it shows that he's willing to forge his own path and that the L title - while meaningful - is a tool to be used and not something to live
#up to
#something that also distinguishes him further from mello who saw footsteps too vast too fill and so tried to not even bother and lashed out
#i don't understand why the idea that he'd cheat makes people so irritated. it'd be a really interesting character decision and it'd fit in
#thematically to the 'everyone is an asshole - theres no good guys' thing too
#As for whether or not L is a cheating cheaterson - i guess that depends on whether or not you consider torturing people to try and break
#them down mentally vs just exerting will via a mystical artifact 'cheating'
#normally i would but in death note the way it's played somehow doesn't feel like it. it's an odd distinction to make. i guess it's because
#everyone is so strong-willed that it actually becomes a legitimate tactic to pit brain against brain and even so L still LOSES that game
