#Aiber

[hylianangel]

I'm actually so sad that the official translation randomly cut these two lines of characterization showing how close Aiber is with L.

Essentially changing "You gave me a better life, so I'd risk my life for you" to "This is fun" is a wild translation choice to me.

I mean I'm assuming it's for brevity reasons, but there's so much empty space in the speech bubble that they totally could have utilized, so I'm simply baffled.

I wish Aiber and Wedy were in the game

I want his smug conman ass to swipe in and secondhand embarrass L in front of everyone

Prompt: L tries to woo (OC/Light/Misa/Matsuda/Mogi/Aiber/Wedy/Naomi/anyone you like) but fails miserably. Hilarity ensues.

There’s like no fanart of Aiber and honestly I find that completely unacceptable, so here are my sillies.

Hello! Random ask, reading the manga again, I couldn't help but notice the kind of special relationship L has with Aiber. Almost friendly. He allows Aiber to have initiative, praises him, is concerned about his safety.... I wonder if those two could actually have been friends, like close friends, in an AU where they both survived.... Like, Aiber being that good close outgoing friend, the extrovert of the pair, to have brought L out of his semi-isolation....

Haha, I thought they had an oddly interesting dynamic as well! My fave is how L urges Aiber to be careful and lets him take liberties with one of his aliases and whatnot. Aiber and Wedy are definitely fun possible closer relationships to imagine for L (I kinda wish it didn't say in canon that he'd never met them in person before, because that would leave more up to speculation about how friendly they actually had been with each other previously – it'd just be fun to me if maybe L had some hinted-at relationships like that in the past at times, especially with criminals he'd formerly been hunting down).

do u think aiber was happy he finally got to rest w his family at his side. his wife and son just a room away. after tucking their son in he’ll pour two glasses of wine, one for his wife, and for a moment forget abt the dangers of his lifestyle BUT THEN. HE JUSTFUCKING DIES!!!!!!

Light: L, I was thinking of sending Aiber a birthday card.

L: That's nice.

Light: What's his real name again?

L:...

L has an exceptionally sound screening process for his employees.

Why the fuck did Light have to kill Wedy and Aiber. Why does he hate mlm/wlw solidarity so much

[1driedpersimmon]

Silly lil doodle because I just saw that one page where L was talking to Aiber over the phone/computer and Aiber was winking lolll

Do you have any thoughts on L’s relationship with Aiber and Wedy? Are they somewhat close or strictly work associates?

Heya! As fun as it is to imagine them being buddies, I think they were mostly long-distance work associates who never actually met in person. I am pretty sure that's canon in the manga, anyway. I believe L says he's never met them in person before the Kira case... I kinda headcanon that L arrested the both of them and then employed them instead of having them put away, because they were both so good at what they do? Though he definitely seems to have a personal sort of banter and camaraderie with Aiber at times. He urges Aiber to be careful as though he worries about him in a personal sort of way, and trusts him with taking on one of his famous detective personas. Aiber refers to L as basically doing him a favour by keeping him employed and avoiding a life sentence in prison as well, so maybe Aiber has some kind of warm feelings of loyalty toward L (or maybe he just knows L has him over a barrel, hahah who really knows). I think Wedy and L would probably have a bit of a fun dynamic too, because I don't think Wedy would let L domineer her as much as he can sometimes do with his underlings due to his bossy and strong-willed personality. Though there wasn't a whole lot in canon between those two to work with onscreen.
