Death Note Light - Tumblr Posts
Random thoughts I just had about death note
this is very stream of consciousness and was written in google notes, so sorry for the format and grammar but I just need this to be out there. Also if some parts sound like they're spoken out loud it's because they were lmao
- media needs to be interesting (check)
- if you disagree with me go look at Ryuk and then come back
- love the concept of death note. Very *chef's kiss*
- tickles the part of my brain that likes unlikely and outlandish theories and scenarios
- however enjoyable media also has to be:
- not insufferable... Sufferable you could say
- OR insufferable enough to make it funny
- death note accomplishes the condition of the second
- never finished it, realized i was running out of fucks to give and looked for a reason to give more fucks or stop giving fucks
- spoiled the ending for myself, if you've seen the ending you know why
- spoiler alert for an old ass piece of media... Y'all have your reasons and if this bit doesn't fervently convince you to watch it then it will do whatever the opposite of that is
- misa dies too. Which is unfair
- she's a boss ass bitch and a whole model??? Like
- okay tangent
- light is not a good protagonist
- I'll take a potato chip... And eat it
- he's supposed to be one of those gradual unreliable narrators
- but past the first episode you immediately realize that he is in fact a horrible person
- you could argue that the capacity to kill people without consequence given to a teenage boy was destined to corrupt him
- and that's a cynical and bleh boring take
- (but likely)
- but tbh it takes a dormant god complex in the first place for him to turn out the way he did. He obviously already thought he was better than others
- loners are only loners if everyone thinks they're worse than everyone else or they think they're better than everyone else
- chicken or the egg first sometimes y'know
- so like if you have the death note to a kind person they'd like write down Jeff bezos or something and then hand it back
- or! They could be like "i don't trust you with this" to ryuk and just keep it (but secretly be like saving it for later in case they want to kill someone else with no consequences)
- or maybe they're just in love with ryuk. Which like. I'll squint at you, and judge you silently for, but won't say anything, because I'm a nice person and not because you possess the ability to kill me without consequences whenever
- anyways so he's a bad protagonist and objectively evil
- i say this even though I usually like the villains. I love the hero but I like the villains too
- i won't condone their actions but I'll think they're hot or cool or something
- cuz i always side with the protagonist, when they're not insufferable (wonder who that could be)
- but mass genocide is one of those rare things that's not "oh this is good but it could be gray if done for the wrong reasons" or "oh this is bad but it could be gray if done for the wrong reasons" it's very "no. This is not ambiguous. Throw the whole person away"
- far less forgivable than mass genocide, however, is how he's not down bad for misa
- like??? The only reasons I can think of for him to have been written like this are
- 1) he's gay or ace and they wrote him like that as queer coding and secret representation
- cuz i know that there are many characters like that and you will never KNOW if he is or isn't
- unless like the mangaka... What's his name... Comes out on Twitter and says so
Mini tangent
- i can not for the life of me remember asian names
- i was practically raised by anime and i still can not remember them
- does not matter how much I love the character or person. I will forget it at least once or twice
- every time someone mentions a mangaka i have to check the database
- i think it's mainly because I haven't learned any asian languages, and that's the only reason I'm referring to them as asian and not specifying, because asian languages have a lot of common denominators that they don't share with western ones
- anyways I can't pronounce them so I can't remember them
- or i think I can pronounce them and then the real pronunciation is just waiting to pounce on me and make me feel like an idiot
- had that ever happened to you? I mispronounced the word cicada until I was... 17
- i was walking with my best friend outside
- which never happened because we were hermits and we never left the cave
- and I'm like "oh you can hear the ciSAHdas"
- and he was like "..."
- "you can hear the what?"
- and it's funny that out of the two of us, the AP student was the one that didn't know how to pronounce ciSAHdas
- did i just say that right? Fuck
- ciKEIdas
- anyways Carson did not do well in school, because he's the type of person that, if he does not give a fuck, he simply will not do whatever you ask
- no matter what reason you have
- so the old ass institution that "educated--
- mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!
- "educated" millions of people crumbled at his feet, like the true being of chaos that he is
- although you could argue that it didn't do me any favors either, since, well, here i am
- and at least he knew how to pronounce cicadas! Damn!
Death note (ctd)
- anyways back to death note because we weren't FINISHED
- so he's gay or ace. My vote is for gay because of his relationship with L
- and L was another character that was treated poorly, he's way better than the early death that he got because he decided to be kind and less suspicious and i HATE that they did him like that
- for a show called death note they really did get death wrong
- funny how everyone around light ends up dying horribly
- you could argue that's because of the death not but I like to think it's because he's just that shitty of a person
- so back to light and how he's super fruity, there's actually a scene where misa is throwing herself on him as usual
- and i don't remember what she's saying, like i can't remember most of her lines
- and i don't know if that means I like her more or less than i would have
- anyways she's saying something suggestive to him looking hot as usual and he starts thinking about L
- like LMAO
- bestie, the closet is made of GLASS
- it is transparent. We can all tell
- 2) reason he could be written to treat misa like that is because it's a ha ha funny that he can't be bothered to give her the time of day, when she's a model
- he's murder sexual. He wants world domination, not pussy
- this is also a reason he could be considered ace but I just think an enemies to lovers with L is more interesting so that's my personal favorite
- anyways there's another scene where she's once again chasing after this toxic ass man
- which. Her main flaw is her absolute dog water taste in men
- so she's trying to get him to like her
- and he thinks
- LMAO
- he thinks "never before have I been provoked to HIT a woman"
- and he says it exactly like that
- which is hilarious for many reasons
- first of all
- i don't BELIEVE you
- you mean to tell me?? That with HIS PERSONALITY?? no woman had ever pissed him off as much as one being in love with him
- which, by the way, gay
- i would like to think this is possible not because of the previously mentioned "maybe he was a good person before given this power" bleh bullshit
- but because all the women had understood he was a fuckwad before interacting with him
- like they sent it to the group chat. The group chat? Yeah the group chat
- they were like bro. This dude? Bad news
- walk parallel to him at all times. Do NOT intersect
- cross the street if you see him walking towards you
- this is also why i like to think incels exist
- like they were already going to be bad and women just knew that and avoided them
- an alternative theory to the group chat phenomenon is that women instinctively knew. Like an edm... That's not the right word
- i know the word and that's not the right word
- e d... e p...
- like the thing you throw out as like a pokeball and it just makes all the electronics stop working
- like they take a break
- electromagnetic... Pulse... EMP!
- so that was sent to every woman's brain instinctively and they just avoided him

KIRA 🍎
( forgot to post hhh and i wanted to post it before the end of the year 🤣 )
Kira being Light's oc would explain his Mary sue-like behavior tsk tsk
I feel like we as a society don't discuss that light, even jokingly, was like 'pssh shinigami eyes are STUPID!! but if you gave me super cool wings I'd give up half my life-span' enough. you can't tell me he wasn't doodling an oc age 13 that had two massive wings and different coloured eyes and-

Death Note in a nutshell!
RIGHT!?? It’s so fun!
Okay but Ryuk was the best possible bestie Light could've asked for. Dude was literally like "I ain't getting involved, but you go slay" and. He listened to all of Light’s evil plans??? Light got him apples he wanted???? They played Nintendo together?????
Ryuk was onto something saying Light was a good shinigami because I know for a fact home boy wouldn't be caught dead doing that shit with anyone else.
