Hi and Welcome to: My poorly formatted argument for L being an INTJ.

(No spoilers, also posted on Personality Database.)

Ni- While L may entertain multiple possibilities, his rational analysis usually leads him to a singular conclusion. Once he reaches a decision, he sinks his teeth in and never lets go. He concluded who Kira was from the beginning, and no amount of emotional arguing ever changes his mind. In fact, when it seemed like there was even a possibility of him being wrong, he claimed to be depressed and unmotivated. Even when it seems as though surface level-evidence proves one thing, he follows his intuition when the "proof" fails to convince him of anything else.

Te- L is blunt and borderline tactless. He states facts and rational with little to no regard for how he comes across to other people. He is also not above using emotional manipulation if it means reaching his goal. In fact, as stated, L is not one to be persuaded in his logic in the slightest until empirical evidence presented to him convinces him to do so. He tends to like people who are useful and not "irrational," AKA not Matsuda.

Fi- Despite all of this, L does follow an internal moral code. It is shown to be internal because he shows little regard for outside established morals and the law itself; he wasn't above using torture, which is frowned upon in most cases. L tends to also push boundaries quite a bit, making those around him uncomfortable to the point where they refuse to continue working with him. It is heavily implied that L has his own internal definition of justice and kindness (examples could be found in the novels.) He has very few people in his inner circle, such as Watari; he never truly lets anyone else in, if we're only talking about the anime. He's also not very expressive; L hardly ever talks about how he's feeling, and in general seems to be very stoic until he's caught off-guard. He also profiled Kira by comparing his own personality to that of Kira himself; very Fi.

Se- Despite how he appears, L is quite strong and athletic. He was once the British Junior Tennis Champion, a feat obviously requiring an above average athletic skill. He's also adept at martial arts, able to introduce his foot into someone's face while still being handcuffed to them. His diet consists of almost entirely sweet foods, and he indulges with little regard to decorum. He also cares little for his outer appearance; he wears worn clothes, sits in an odd position, has his hair uncut (or maybe he likes it like that idk), and for some reason doesn't wear shoes instead of just getting fucking sandals.

There are also a few incidental reasons such as:

1) His and Light's personalities are often compared to eachother, I find it hard to think of anything other than the similarities between ENTJ/INTJ.

2) Alessandro Juliani's (dub) performance has this cadence and smoothness I often see in fictional characters who could be categorized as INTJ (trait of Se...?)

3) INTP's are often seen as charming to those around them. While L is beloved by the audience, he is instead seen as off-putting by other characters around him. Those people are wrong; L is the most adorable thing to ever grace this planet with his presence and they should be THANKFUL—wait where was I going?

I'd like to thank @pennyblossom-meta for giving me the inspiration to write this post, her L analysis is to die for. I also credit @funkymbtifiction for basically being my source for personality analysis growing up.

Anyway thanks for coming to my Tedtalk BYYYE✨✨✨

Fuck it, going back into my death note era, prepare for L drawings and lawmane

If I had a death note the world would be so much better

[stimmingandstruggling]

no because. “there was no other way, the world HAD to be fixed.” fucking wild thing to say. obviously a terrible defense of what he did. but i mean, shit! that’s it! that’s why light does it all, because he is so obsessed with this fake idealistic world and he puts all the pressure of attaining that onto himself. he is so desperate to fix something that cannot be fixed, it is all that matters to him. the world had to be fixed.

[sporadictimetravelgarden]

an incomplete list of death note things i thought were just jokes until i found out they were canon:

the potato chip scene. how is that real.

apples

the whole “this is something only kira would do, on the other hand, if i don’t do it, he’ll definitely think i’m kira, but . . .” and “kira would never do that, unless he is kira, in which case he would do the opposite of what i know he would do, so that actually increases his likelihood . . .” dynamic that light and L have is not an exaggeration. they really do overthink everything to that degree

the thing that looks like a monster is more mentally stable than the normal human boy

light isn’t attracted to misa

[dnbrainrot]

(From the Death Note encyclopedia in the official box set)

“He’s likely not capable of loving a woman” yeah but he sure does have an obsession with a certain dark haired man instead

[corviiids]

in the one (1) month since i watched death note for the first time i sure have been doing a fucking posting

bonus:

[greensaplinggrace]

I actually like it when ships hurt each other in long lasting and unforgiveable ways. I like it when they leave vicious, glaring scars. I like when they leave traumas. I like when they stab each other and torture each other and ruin each other’s lives and violate every inch of each other’s values. and I like it when they fucking kill each other permanently dead.

i never realized light holds L’s hand but not misa’s ohhhhhh I’m sick. I’m sick

[moistotaltrashmammal]

so im going through the death note comics and.

look at him. look at my boy.

The unstoppable, mighty hurricane and the immovable, cold, hard truth.

[nezz-cringe-crib]

society is dumb draw anatomically incorrect yaoi.

if mia and light turner can make out during kira time then lawlight can too.

l lawliet: a formal analysis

[theotherpacman]

listen I respect the "L is pretty" take like I get it I do but personally, to me, in my heart, L is NOT good-looking. between the malnutrition (all he fucking eats is sugar) the lack of sleep and the neglect of all self-care including personal hygiene he Just Looks Terrible. he looks terrible. he looks like a gargoyle. he looks like a goblin creature that you'd find in a cave.

this makes it so much better to me when light yagami has the desire to push him against a wall and rail him, I mean he'd be so mad, "he's so fucking ugly why the FUCK do I want to put my mouth and hands all over his body this is NOT FAIR"

"Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust

The devil's after both of us"

This is an older fanart of mine, that I drew on another device that does not work anymore so hooray !!

I'm posting this here now because I have posted this (and tons of other fanart) on my twitter but now I've unearthed this unused account that I've had for years to finally start posting my art here too.
