[Random Babbling] Love as a weakness for L
*EDITED for flow and grammar and random thoughts*
*Me Babbling is really a quick keyboard smash*
Another new thought to my fic. Inspired by this meta on Reddit. (HIGHLY recommend this. Read this first)
Combine the Reddit meta with my own interpretation of L in my fic; having learned to love, he now understands deeply that this could become his weakness, his vulnerability.
He will no longer be the person who relies solely on logic and calculation, who resorts to any means necessary, who would even resort to cheating. He acknowledges that these traits are essential to being a good detective. However, he has come to the realization that he cannot embody them anymore. The person L.Lawliet, no longer embodies the traits of a good detective.
He seeks to find someone who will remain unaffected by love, whether due to incapacity or immunity. From this perspective, L's evolution (in stories where he learns to love) can be justified- his capacity to love and his willingness to seek a better successor. In this sense, he would not let Watari choose the successors anymore, as an ideal successor is not a child like him, but a child entirely different from him. Therefore, he had to select his own new successors, instead of letting Watari handle the matter.
He must tell the children that he is such a person(evil, cheating, lying monster) so that those who would feel disappointed could be filtered out. Only those who feel "L should be like this" can live up to the name of "L".
A is dead. B is dead. It is not because they are a failure. It is because they are too similar to L.
I think combining that analysis of L and my own interpretation of L, and the adjustments I made, the gentleness of L would be much more obvious in my story. And to contrast Light Yagami much more. L sees all kinds of pain and suffering, yet he still has that softness for the world and people. He doesn't care how others view him- the listless, quirky young man, but he continues to stands for his beliefs. There is a sense of "I am secured inside, and therefore, I could continue what I am doing, regardless of how people see me."
On the other hand, Light Yagami sees the partial world but has quite an aggressive and extreme state of mind, hidden under his perfect mask.
Love is not a savior for problems. Instead, it is precious and delicate, something that needs to be protected and defended. Love is strong, strengthening one's mind and making a person secure.
Yet love is a weakness in detective work.

Hello Everyone~
I'm L.lawliet the owner of poeticBeauty55. Its been awhile since I’ve posted or shared a story on here and I apologize. Thank you guys for all the support through out the years and I hope to bring new content soon to you guys! I’m going to re-do my account so it’s more easier for you guys to navigate.
Announcement
I decided to make a fiverr in order to do paid requests for cheap. Due to just life in general it's been hard to get by so I decided to try to make money while simultaneously doing what I love to do and have an excuse to push me to put more work out. Ofc regular/non-paid requests will still be accepted but paid requests will be posted quicker.
I will also be holding an event as a celebration of opening my account again. For the first 5 people to order from my fiverr will get a half off discount on their request!
I will post the link to my gig/store later after I’m finish reworking my account! See you guys soon

I have just finished watching death note for the 3rd time and fell in love with it all over again. It's just brilliant, I love it. Well, here's L, but I still suck at drawing hands.

Remember when L was all like, “BTW Light, I’ve left instructions for your dad to arrest you as Kira if I die.” and Light was just like “MMMM I hear you, but hear me out, what if I kill you anyway?”

I’m really confused how middle names work via the Death Note? I mean, I get that middle names aren’t really a thing in Japan, but for Lind L. Tailor, when Light killed him he just wrote the abbreviation “L” for the middle name, and I’m just assuming here that his parents didn’t actually just make his middle name one letter like Lawliet’s parents did. So do you only need a first/last name? Does the Death Note just fill in the holes? Why am I spending so much time thinking about a fictional manga that came out over ten years ago?

He doesn’t look right when I draw him my own style, it’s weird, granted though since I took some liberty to make him look a little bit happier or more at peace at least.

Looking that all are talking about Death Note Netflix movie I decided watching and listening music from the original anime and then, drawing some sketches from L and Light/Kira.
