AU For You All Presented To Me By A Dream- Hikikomori!Light.

AU for you all presented to me by a dream- hikikomori!Light.

I had this dream where Light was a hikikomori on very bad terms with his family, struggling to hold a job, arguing with Sachiko, even Sayu was pretty sick of his attitude and Soichiro went on a scathing rant about his wasted potential. Whether or not that was actually warranted at all is something I'll never know because my alarm woke me up like 30 seconds later. I think there was a blurb about him being Kira but again, I woke up.

But it did make me think about an AU around the idea.

AU where being a gifted child genius took a toll on Light and resulted in a nervous breakdown while still in high school and just... never fully really recovering from it it. He's still an unparalleled genius- he has homework delivered to his house and only physically goes to school on exam days and still gets top grades. Despite it all he still helps Sayu with her homework and studying quite often (he quietly remarks to himself it's the least he can do) and even sometimes still helps the police solve cases despite essentially locking himself into his room for 23 hours a day amid a growing cluster of books, manga, and anime figures.

I don't see there being a lot of trash buildup despite there being a huge amount of clutter- something Sayu I think notices as she spends more time getting help with homework is that there's a bit of an organized chaos to that? Sayu notes it looks disorganized but if you look carefully there's an entire book on legal theory and police work, the shounen and seinen mangas have their own stacks, magical girls have their own stack, fiction novels have their own, everything is alphabetical, etc etc. To everyone else it looks like an unholy mess but Light is clearly able to find anything he needs right away as if his room was as clean as it is in canon- if anything, it makes it very easy for him to hide stuff.

Could be Light Is Not Kira AU or even a regular Kira thing? In my dream I think it mentioned him being Kira and I imagined him taking a walk, trying to get some fresh-air to make Sachiko happy and at least going to pick up his homework in person, and finding the notebook still lying there... picking up the notebook, becoming Kira giving him an outlook and drive to succeed again, but with a different mentality maybe? Or if it's someone else that's Kira, taking an interest and wanting to personally investigate the mysterious deaths?

... Also, if Misa is involved, knowing her, ofc she tries to indulge Light's interests and gets unexpectedly hook. Please imagine Misa getting really into a seinen manga of all things.

Death note au idea (that came to me from a dream) where literally after L dies, he wakes up and seemed to have time travelled. It would've been fine, better even for him, if it weren't for the fact he woke up as Light yagami.

What happened in my dream was that after L dies he literally just wakes up in light's body, from the first day that the yagami household is under survelliance. But he doesn't notice that first because he literally just died. He panics, puts a hand on his heart and feels it beating before sighing in relief. After calming down, he puts his knees to his chest and bites his nails, looking down, and numerous thoughts wonder to his head but there is one thing for certain.

He was right. Light yagami IS kira.

He needs to do something about this, and if he's still alive, he would be able to test the death note and put both kiras to prison but... he looks around and sees that he's no longer in HQ. The place is famili-- this is light's room. And then he just hears ryuk trying to communicate with him, and in shock falls down, before looking at ryuk again, his eyes twinkles. I just remember L in disbelief whispers '... another shinigami' that was totally audible to the wiretaps alright.

(But I never dreamt of what L, soichiro and watari'a reaction was. If I were to guess it would be similar with the response video by misa.)

He composes himself, and thinks, ryuk laughs at his reaction, but seemingly more amused with what's above his head with the way he had been staring at it. He looks down again and sees different clothing, it seemed right but also wrong. That's when he realizes, this is not his body. When Light (L) was about to ask ryuk questions, he shuts his mouth again. As he felt that he was being watched. A realisation dawns to him.

He's currently light yagami, and at the time the yagami household is under survelliance.

And now L has to struggle trying to act as light, which he does terribly, and avoid dying again, and as kira at that.

I don't remember much, I just remember like these snippets of him being scolded by sachiko everytime he slouched, puts his feet on the chair, or does his staring. That when he gets scolded his eyes down turns and if his face weren't emotionless, it would look like he's pouting.

The thing is, L is a great liar but not as much as an actor. Or when it comes to controlling his facial features, to make a comforting smile, an earnest chuckle or make a worried look. He often just defaults to blank. (This is a head Canon if I'm wrong lmfao I have to finished the anime help).

I dunno if he was able to actually pull it off, but what I DO remember is that HE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE POTATO CHIP.

That is all, thank you.

I think the fact that Binghe has curly hair in the Fanart design of him is PEAK. For one, the ideal standard of beauty that you’d expect out of a harem protagonist is silky straight hair!

It’s the beauty ideal in China. I have naturally curly hair inherited from my mother, and instead of being taught how to bring out my curls at the hairdresser, my hair is “frizzy,” and I get pushed into getting a straight perm.

My mom, likewise, has always hated her curly hair and was dismayed (dismayed!) when my hormones caused my hair texture to change from straight to her curls.

For two, the idea of Shen Qingqiu adoring it would fix me, I’m sure.

Your insecurity is something he adores about you. He makes poetry likening it to sheep’s wool, he runs his hands through it and helps you maintain it. Something most people consider a flaw, and that doesn’t even occur to him.

It’s so radical. It comes naturally to him!

No wonder Binghe is insane about that old man.

AU where Light is completely obsessed with L. Full on Jareth to L's Sarah. The rain scene becomes Light's twisted confession, on his knees for L yet demanding his attention. His gaze. His Love. His Life. Everything he did was for L, gave him a puzzle to lead them together, so that he may offer a world not his to give on a platter.

There is madness in his eyes from where he kneels, devotion and desperation. It's horrifying, the depths of his infatuation. Yet L cannot look away. This wasn't like B, who tried to give him an unsolvable puzzle to prove superiority. It was a gift, soaked in the blood of thousands and the insanity of a boy, barely a man, for a Letter on a screen.
