#but he /does/ care when it's about his friends (and ig a hypothetical s/o) bc then he'd be conflicted about whether he should

I'm filling in a meme about romantic gestures for Tobias and it dawned on me just how many basic things that most take for granted he's never had nor ever will have... like the fact that he's never seen nor owned a photo of himself (and certainly will never allow any to be taken after the Kira case) which means he'll never have anything physical to look back on when(/if) he grows old, nothing for himself and his friends to use as backgrounds or meme with each other about, nor will the world have anything solid to remember him by beyond his name; the fact that he can't trust 99.9% of the people who come into his life because 90% of them were either sent to kill him or are vying for his assets; or the fact that giving someone a spare key to his house while knowing fully well that they could've tapped it, placed a bomb in it etc or trusting them to not have poisoned his food/drink beforehand are THE two biggest signs of love he could possibly show someone else

#muse: tobias. #I'm particularly obsessed w the pics part... bc it extends to /others/ as well #obviously he doesn't care about what his men do in this respect; they can have a billion pics of themselves taken and posted everywhere #but he /does/ care when it's about his friends (and ig a hypothetical s/o) bc then he'd be conflicted about whether he should #let them enjoy life normally or delete every trace of their visible (pics/official records/etc) existence to keep them safe #this ^ is also why he's sooo much more at ease befriending fellow Wammy orphans since they're in the same boat as him #they have no real 'government' identities; no photos to speak of; are shrouded in as much mystery as he is #but that doesn't go for people he meets OUTSIDE of Wammy's 💀 which is why the only other friends-ish he's made #thus far are fellow people w heavily hidden identities like those from the SPK (coughs. Gevanni)
