(full disclaimer cause I am Jewish, learned about the Jesus story yesterday, and have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about. i feel like this is kind of controversial if i get something wrong please correct me it's very late as im writing this okay onto the analysis)
Something really interesting about the Death Note foot massage scene is that L is the one at Light's feet
Throughout the show, Light has compared himself and has been referenced to in many ways to Jesus, like in official art of him being crucified, or in the opening where some of the art is very similar
Now, it's also a well-known story that Jesus washes Judas' feet in the bible- before Judas betrays him. People have compared these two scenes time and time again
But something I want to point out is... Light isn't in the position of Jesus. He's placed himself in this position- the god of the new world, high above the rest- that he doesn't think for a moment that he isn't who he believes.
Supposedly when Jesus was alive he was hated, in a way- the reason for his death. His legacy wasn't maintained while he was alive, but instead was made clear to some people after his death
It never occurs to Light to leave something behind. It doesn't occur to him that its possible for him to die before he's accomplished everything.
Instead, it's L who leaves heirs, and a legacy. It's L who didn't really leave a print until he died. It's L who eventually wins.
And it's L who's washing Light's feet.

Can I please ask you to elaborate on Ohba and Ohbata’s different views on Lights character design? (Genuine question cause I haven’t ever noticed any discrepancy) (no pressure to answer)
Hi anon it’s mostly a running joke that in contrast to how Obata drew Light in the manga panels (that were sent to Ohba for approval before appearing in the story), his own art of Light displays the character as more, uh, developed? And with less clothes lol. Like in this and this, and the art below:
While in the official stats for the characters (in Death Note- How to Read) the weights of L and Light are very scrawny:
So it’s quite interesting to see Light through Obata’s artistic lens, how he views the character, vs the ‘official’ stats and the manga panels drawn for Ohba.

finding out that Obha and Obata actually actively support the abomination that is Noteflix and have spoken out against the backlash saying that it was a correct "American" take on death note despite the whitewashing and destroying of character arcs, plot devices, the death note rules, the unnecessary gore that netflix loves to add despite the original anime not having much, L and Light's whole relationship, Ryuk and Light's friendship, Ryuk's passiveness to what Light was doing with the death note, the absence of characters in general, the mix ups of characters' personalities (e.g Mia Sutton (who is commonly thought of to be based off of Misa Amane) is actually based off Light Yagami and his "psychopathic" tendencies confirmed by Adam Wingard) is not as hurtful as finding out Obata did official art of Light Turner and it looks like this

ohh. 16, 19, 20. (bonus: 5 /j)
oh omg these are such good questions. i thought very deeply about these. thank you!!
16 - you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)
gfhlfgh i don’t even mean this in a negative way but i stumbled across a portion of the fandom a while ago that is primarily interested in the yotsuba corp. not the arc, like the guys in the company. this isn’t a bad thing, but it had truly never occurred to me that one could interact with the material in this way. it was like walking into an alternate universe. also did you know you can buy official yotsuba corp merch? wild.
19 - you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...
uke!L. sorry for who i am as a person. i’m saying uke and not bottom because that’s what i mean. i like it when he is pathetic and squirmy. i don’t generally like it in fic but it’s great in art. sorry. i wish i was a better person, too.
20 - part of canon you found tedious or boring
honestly, death note is so short that there isn’t much i find boring! if i had to pick something, though: the whole segment where the spk is stalking mikami is difficult to get overly invested in because light’s plan is hidden from the reader and we don’t get all that much of his internal narrative. it’s impossible to care when one plan or another gets circumvented because we didn’t know what the plan was in the first place. idk i don’t hate it & i get what they were going for but it was an odd narrative choice.
bonus: 5 - worst server
it’s a bts server i am choosing not to name

Explaining one of VTMB paintings (pt 2.)
Lilith-1889 Oil on canvas, by John Collier
John Collier (27 January 1850 – 11 April 1934) was a British Painter and writer of there Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of young British painters who banded together in 1848 in reaction against what they conceived to be the unimaginative and artificial historical painting of the Royal Academy and who purportedly sought to express a new moral seriousness and sincerity in their works. They were inspired by Italian art of the 14th and 15th centuries, and their adoption of the name Pre-Raphaelite expressed their admiration for what they saw as the direct and uncomplicated depiction of nature typical of Italian painting before the High Renaissance and, particularly, before the time of Raphael [1].
Lilith description reads “The first wife of Adam, according to cabalistic mythology, seductive and free-spirited woman who was displeasing neither to God who created her, nor wife.”
The mythological character of Lilith first appears around 500AD originally in Jewish folk lore and some religious texts written at the time. She later spread to both Christian and Islamic folk lore. In myths she was believed to be the actual first woman and was created by God out of the same clay used to make the first man Adam at the same time ad God created Adam. She was supposed to be Adam’s first wife but refused to ether lie under him or submit to him as she believed she should be equal to him. As a results she was l thrown out of Eden by God who then created Eve from Adam’s rib. In some versions she is also cursed by God and became a Demon; others she was made pregnant by ether Adam or a Demon she meets after leaving Eden and gives births to Demons. She was associated with storms, sexual temptation, disease and death( epically of pregnant women and children). In some myths she hunts down and kills pregnant woman and children in revenge against Adam /being thrown out of Eden as all humans would be the descendants of Adam and Eve. In the Medieval ages Jewish parents made amulets to protect their babies from Lilith. She later became associated with tempting men in a similar fashion to succubus. Despite her prevalence in folklore she was never mentions in any version of the official creation myths found in the Torah, Bible or Qur’an. Her character is most likely based of two differ types of demons/ spirts from Mesopotamia from 3000BCE, as Mesopotamian religion and myths had a large impact on abrahamic religions. The first type of demon/spirts where known as Lilitu, who were said to prey soon women and children and associated with lions, deserts storms and illnesses. The second type is known as Lilu which are like succubus and would have see with men when they were asleep in order to reproduce. There is a Babylonian text where there is a character named Lilith who is a Lilu demon/spirt who was a prostitute of the Mesopotamian goddess of was and fertility Ishtar who would send Lilith out to secure and lead men astray [3].
Collier was the first artists of the XIX century, afford so openly and invitingly to portray the character. Lilith Rossetti – almost ethereal. Combing their hair, she is reserved and cold. Lilith Collier is the embodiment of passion and lust. Thanks to the romantic perception of the mythological wife of Adam in the nineteenth century, for many today, Lilith is a symbol of a strong, independent woman. [2]
This is note worthy as this painting and its history also contrasts the other paintings of Lilith seen in the game which were created specifically for VTMB and are a part of the Santa Monica Gallery Noir art exhibit. In the Gallery Noir paintings Lilith is not the primary focus but rather depicted only in her relationship to Cain.
In the mythology of Vampire the Masquerade, Lilith origins as the first wife of Adam only when she refuses to lay with Adam not only does God banish her but also curses her so that anyone who she loved and cared for would be unable to truly love her in return. She later meets Cain as he is wandering in the Land of Nod while is cursed by God, but before he is cursed again which makes him a vampire. They become lovers and Lilith has learned magic and Cain begged her to teach him these ways as her lover. Lilith agrees and performs a awaking ceremony( a mage ritual) on Cain which requires him to drink her blood from a brutal bowl to which awakens the powers within him which would later become the differ kindred disciplines. However this angers God who sends three angels who cure him and any decedents he should have to be vampires. After gaining these powers Cain abandons Lilith which enrages her. In the overall World of Darkness lore she worshiped by a cult known as the Bahai,(which includes both mortals and vampires) who worship her as the Dark mother. The cults lore mostly matches the rest of the WOD lore with some changes such Lilith fled Eden when Adam tried to rape her, some precise her to be the first mage, has created her own garden after being thrown out of Eden and for the vampire that at Bahai they reject Cain’d linage due to his betrayal of Lilith after the awaking ritual and so they refer to themselves as Lhaka rather than Cainites or Kindred.

Do official adaptations of other media count? Because if they do there's a Death Note game called L the ProLogue to Death Note: Spiraling Trap where L is romanceable
I'd say otome adaptions of things are fine but I feel like I'd need to find art from the adaption. Just a picture of L wouldn't count.
