is it true that ohba called L 'slightly evil'? and if so, why do you think that is? I agree that he isn't a 'good' person btw

Yes. And it‘s because Death Note isn’t about good vs evil. Light is the protagonist but also a serial killer, L is his antagonist but he doesn’t go against him out of the goodness of his heart.

This is how L is introduced:

He’s the “trump card” because of his skills and methods, but his role is not about heroism. He doesn’t get a dramatic backstory that explains why he so fiercely wants to protect the world from Kira, or anything like that. His very first move against Kira is questionable: he uses someone else’s life to lure Kira out, to prove to the world he indeed exists (among other things). (Over the course of the story, we can see that L is constantly willing to deliberately let people die for the case, haha. It’s a pattern.)

Story-wise, L is there to be entertaining and an interesting opponent for Light; he has to be ruthless, stubborn and quite extreme in his methods. And L caring more about solving his cases than about saving people’s lives, is exactly what makes him so dangerous. And, to be honest, I will never understand how you can look at the way he treats Misa during her confinement and still believe he isn’t meant to be a grey character. It’s meant to be shocking.

If you do what L does and your main concern isn’t helping and saving people, it’s not surprising that you’ll hurt innocents in the process. There’s a reason why Soichiro, who’s meant to be just and good-natured, constantly makes this face around L:

So I think that Ohba is simply aware of the fact that that’s the kind of character he created:

I see the original post going around every so often and it saddens me a little that it's never accompanied by this thread explaining why it's completely understandable how a child would arrive at these spellings in accordance with english phonetics

Part 2 to this

Give the man the karma he deserves

He won’t die, but Ryuk didn’t warn him for fun lmao

I Might make a part 3 where L connects the paper and Light

[jaythm]

What if light ate the small part of the death note page with higuchis name on it to get rid of the evidence

[jaythm]

ur honor it was just a feminine urge

[jaythm]

[jaythm]

oh your pronouns are he/they?

well that’s mathematically incorrect becuase you can still simplify the fraction since both sides have “he”

making your pronouns technically 1/ty

[jaythm]

My personal hc which has no support from the canon whatsoever is that the tennis match is Light’s highly glorified version of the match, and actually they’re both shit at tennis.

28 - Stuck Together

I don’t think the sheer comedy of Light and L having to be handcuffed together for literal months is used to its full potential.

Light actually married L so he could find out his name

Yes.

But then nothing went according to keikaku: they started solving cases together, bought a house somewhere in the countryside in England, often went together to dinners to Light's parents, adopted a cat and named him Beyond (Light thinks it's a stupid name) and-

and then 10 years later Light is like wait a minute-

Yotsuba arc but Light keeps his memories (and Ryuk) AU 🤡
