#I love my man ryuk and misa

[bouneilly]

can't believe I'm almost finished with death note, five more episodes in and it's over… orz

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

How would Death Note go if, everything was the same, except the way that Misa and Light got their notebooks was reversed? So Misa just found hers randomly and Ryuk is her Shinigami. But Light was saved by a Shinigami who was in love with him and gained both their book and their lifespan. And Rem. (Don't ask me why the Shinigami was in love with Light lol)

For the sake of this ask, maybe pretend that Misa doesn't get killed in an alley.

Caveat

I mean, in Light's Kira glory days, the Shinigami in general are all interested in what's happening with him and I can easily imagine one or two becoming enamored with this insane human who's giving them the entertainment of their lives.

Before then, well, Gelus clearly romanticized Misa as he watched her and saw her as a tragic figure in need of saving. She was young, beautiful, had a tragic past with the death of her parents, and he couldn't stand the thought of watching her die at such a young age because of this stalker.

The point being that he only knew of Misa from a distance and liked what he could see looking through a window. Now, Light doesn't have the tragic backstory to attract Gelus's interest, he had a great life before canon started with a family that loved him and a bright future ahead of him, but in theory Gelus could have become fascinated with this seemingly perfect young man who's dying of boredom on the inside and want to save him from his untimely death at the hands of a mugger.

So, sure, why not.

Misa Meets a Death God

Misa picks up the notebook and thinks it has a nice asthetic, Misa being very into gothic lolita, and that while morbid humor is the sort of thing she could have as a prop in her bedroom. Fits right in.

I imagine she doesn't think much about it, doesn't believe it, and that's when Ryuk gets bored actually. The thing with Light was that he waited a bit to see what the person who picked up the notebook would do and that he'd planned to keep dropping it around until someone interesting picked it up.

Ryuk felt thrilled when Light picked it up on the first try and went fucking insane with the death count. Ryuk settled happily in for the ride of his life, watching as Light murdered people in interesting ways and tried to murder that detective.

If Misa's not doing anything, and she's likely not, then Ryuk will take it back from her and try again until he gets someone who is interesting. Even if Misa accidentally killed a person, I don't think she'd have the will or interest to be Kira without Light's prior example. What Light did requires... well... being Light. Misa could become the second Kira because she already idolized Light and he'd made it, in a weird way, culturally acceptable. I imagine Misa might kill the man who'd killed her parents but that would be the end of it.

I imagine Ryuk would end up with a mobster eventually and be very entertained as it's used for inter-gang assassinations. But hold that thought.

Light Meets a Death God

Light, I imagine very shaken from nearly dying, walks away from the incident not sure how to feel then holy shit a god of death has come for him. He panics even harder than he did in canon with Ryuk until Rem explains that Light was saved by a Shinigami that was in love with him and here is his new murder notebook.

Now, the thing about canon, is that Light started in as Kira because a) he at first didn't believe it then killed a man and went "my god" b) he thought he was going to be taken to the underworld so started in killing as many people as he could before Ryuk met up with him. Light had about a day to talk himself into this where he goes from "oh my god I just killed someone" to "only I can kill fucking everyone!". Here, the circumstances are different, he hasn't killed anyone and he doesn't have the motivation to make the most of the notebook before a Shinigami comes for him as Rem is pointedly giving it to him.

I imagine Light mulls over it for a bit, a god literally died for him and gave him this as a gift, how should he use it if at all. I imagine his first instinct, as in canon initially, is not to use it/not to want to be a murderer. Then, however, I imagine he thinks of all the people he believes the world would be better without, a world in which he can get rid of violent crime entirely as an unseen god, and thinks about what the Shinigami saved him from.

Had it not been for Gelus, Light would have died, because a human wanted to stab him.

Then Light's back on the "only I can do this!" murder bus and Rem is... not entirely thrilled with any of this (while Rem pointedly never liked Light I do think it was more than just how dismissive he was of Misa but also that Light was casually making use of the notebook for such extremes).

I imagine Rem sticks around, as Gelus died for this motherfucker, but she doesn't like it.

Canon then proceeds pretty much the same except that L and Light end up in this stalemate in college as Misa doesn't have a Death Note to rock the boat. L can't get any real evidence on Light at all, his attempts to rattle him reveal nothing, and Light in turn can't get L's name and Rem refuses to tell it to him out of principle.

Except, at some point, I imagine Ryuk gets jealous. Why does Rem get this batshit insane human and he keeps having to drop the notebook all over the place? I imagine Ryuk asks Rem to trade, he'll give the kid his notebook, Rem can take Gelus's, and they'll switch so Rem can be with the kind of boring humans she likes and Ryuk can stick with this kid.

Rem of course refuses, as does Light who suspects Ryuk and knows how to bully Rem into doing mostly what he wants, and so I imagine a miffed Ryuk makes things hard for Light/more interesting. I imagine he starts killing people in a way so as to provide L 'evidence' so as to be able to get firmer suspicions of Kira.

A man dies shouting at Light that he's the devil then douses himself in gasoline then lights himself on fire. Another person dies doing the same thing but they throw themselves into a woodchipper.

(L hates that he can't use any of this as evidence not just simply because the entire world's gone mad about Kira anyway but also because these fuckers keep killing themselves before L can ask questions.)

I imagine Light, at his wit's end, agrees to trade with Ryuk but only if Ryuk tells Light L's name. "That's cheating" - Ryuk says as he did in canon (also, Ryuk is having a great time inconveniencing Light).

Death Note becomes a weird thriller comedy in which L is hunting Kira, but The Happening is going on, and Light is trying to find a way to manage Ryuk, Rem, and L all at the same time while also planning L's murder in a way that it makes it look like L just caught The Happening.

[meialeia]

Hi I'm like 2/3rds through deathnote.. I think my predictions were wrong

light is actually evil.. very evil.. I thought ryuk would be super evil but he really wasn't chat.. he's still evil but like not evil evil, he's really scary looking though I give myself 5 seconds to go to bed before he comes to get me

L is my goat!!!! and misa!! I hope they don't die, matsuda too..

and I know it's probably just me but do you guys see kira and light as different people? I know technically they are, but kira and light are so different!! I don't fw kira I fw light though.. like light would never do any of this

I drew matsuda too!! he's so stupid I love him I hope that monkey looking kira guy doesn't get him man 😭

[heyheydidjaknow]

I’m not going to request anything this time, I just want to know your honest opinion about “LawLight”. 

I have never seen as much yaoi content in an anime as in Death Note in my 30 years… I’m sooo old, and maybe that’s why I’m so sick of Tumblr suggesting me these kinds of posts and it has revived my hatred for this “ship”.

I mean, I’m not even sure if those people have watched the same anime as me…

Cartoons are fictional to start with, so buying into this is like double-dipping in make-believe, I don’t know if I’m making myself clear, lol.  I know some people might say… We read ‘x reader’ stories, okay, but we reaaaally know that this is not real, instead of affirming something that doesn’t exist…?

Anyway, I just wanted to vent, hope I didn’t bother you, and that you understood my limited English. 

Greetings from China!

I love Lawlight because I hate Light Yagami and I think he would hate Lawlight irl and any enemy of my enemy is a friend. That said I personally do not know how feasible it is as a ship. Im not anti Lawlight or anything— the fan content for this ship is great— but I do not know that the characters are all that compatible. I would normally leave it at that, but this is a prime opportunity to shit talk Light so I’m taking it. Here are my top ten implied realities of Lawlight which sink the ship in my opinion.

1. It implies that L would date a man he doesn’t even trust enough to believe isn’t a serial killer, which is ridiculous.

2. It implies that Light as Kira would not be so stubborn as to just refuse to be vulnerable with L out of spite.

3. It implies Light Yagami is capable of love.

4. It implies that neither of them wouldn’t view physical intimacy solely as an in to gain information from the other person.

5. It implies that either party would be content with just leaving well enough alone and not trying to destroy each other.

6. It implies that Light would deny his repressed (if you want to be nice) homophobia (which I cannot prove he has but believe he does with my whole entire heart) long enough to allow himself to get with L.

7. It implies that Light (and possibly L) would be cool with Ryuk watching them do couple things, sexual or otherwise.

8. It implies that Misa Amane would not beat the shit out of L for encroaching on her man.

9. It implies that Light would either top or not view bottoming as losing.

10. It implies that Light has the ability satisfy a partner in any way.

That said, their messy hypothetical relationship is undeniably fun to speculate about. Loads of fun fan works have come from the ship, and Light would despise the ship in real life, so who am I to knock it?

Prologue/ Chapter 1

This is just a brief explanation of the differences between my AU and the actual Death Note story (based on the anime):

¬ Light was caught by L and his death note was taken and is in police custody, Ryuk killed him while he was awaiting his death sentence out of boredom.

¬ Misa is still in police custody (the building L made where he Light and Misa were in for a while) because she is still a suspect and could be in danger - L also suspects that Ryuk may kill her too.

¬ Misa has cut her lifespan in half once and no longer as the Shinigami eyes

I’ll explain any other difference/ fix any inconsistencies as we go along with the story.

Now to set the scene for the first chapter:

The shiny skyscraper towered above all nearby buildings, still blending in amongst them seamlessly, if you saw it you would’ve assumed it was an ordinary office building, not uncommon in central Tokyo. Its metallic cross between grey and blue reflecting the bright light Light of the sun off itself. though you wouldn’t notice from inside the building, maybe you would even forget it after being inside the building as long as she had been.

Lying in her messy bed, Misa lay there as she had for the past few days, only getting up to eat and use the bathroom, the room was pitch black only allowing small slivers of light to penetrate the abyss. Light died just 4 days ago. And now her life had no purpose.

Stale candies and sweets covered the table in her- the room. She couldn’t eat them because she couldn’t let herself go completely in case Light comes back.

As she made her way to the bathroom, the door suddenly swung open blinding her and she fell to the carpeted ground as the 3 maybe 4 figures at the door stood there unresponsive. Once her eyes adjusted Misa looks with anger towards them, honing in onto 1 in particular.

Light’s killers.

The 2 officers accompanying him stood to either side of his slightly hunched figure, guns pointing at her - not that they were needed as she couldn’t do anything for now.

L had come in again, as he had everyday since Light died at 5pm. In a deadpan tone L said “Are you alive still?”

Misa groaned as L began his too familiar line of questioning and she once again had to repeat the same answers.

“Mhm!” she said loudly looking at the old man stood behind L, Watari as she had resolved to not talk to L at all, after all he murdered the love of her life.

“Have any angels of death come into contact with you?” L asked. He would’ve asked if any had tried to kill her, though if they had she would already be dead.

Misa shook her head side to side, still facing Watari and not acknowledging L any more than in the occasional scowl. If they had then she would have told them to kill L immediately, but after she gave up Rems notebook even with her memories back she couldn’t kill L and avenge Light without the notebook. But for some reason Rem hasn’t dropped it to give to her and he hasn’t killed L herself either.

“Do you want to see the doctor?” L asked anticipating Misa’s response he added “You’ll be seeing him tomorrow anyways”

“No I-” she said before facing L for possibly the first time since Light’s passing and asked what he meant by that because the only way she would be talking to any doctor is by force.

L not changing his tone of voice just said “You’ll see” He had known from the start that she wouldn’t let the task force do anything willingly, she was too stubborn and too depressed about Light to do so.

Watari dropped a bag with her lunch, luckily Misa had given up on her hunger strike after smelling Watari’s godly cooking.

“You should probably change out of those clothes and put on something fresh for tomorrow” L advised Misa before leaving. The 2 officers closed the door and left her right where they found her.

RANDOM DEATH NOTE HEADCANONS I WANT TO SHARE THANKS TO ME WANTING TO EXSPAND MY AU:

LIGHT:

Has survivor syndrome. What's that? Survivor syndrome, also known as survivor's guilt, is the response of a person when they believe they have done something wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others did not, often feeling self-guilt. This can be from being Kira or set before Kira, like an incident from his youth that he forever lingers with. This mixed with his "where's the justice" mind set only adds fuel to the fire of the war in his mind

Favorite food isn't apples as many would assume/joke about

The poor boy didn't really think of his sexual orientation until collage, didn't have the means or needs to and it wasn't only until he dated Misa and began to hang out with L he started to think on it more

In my AU Ryuk and Rem didn't give Light and Misa the Death Notes again and L, Light, Misa, etc didn't die, so this technically takes place the amnesia arc which I argue is a favorite okay?! Still doesn't mean Light gets dreams of him as Kira and isn't aware he was.

MISA:

Got really into the Gothic look after her parents' death where someone was a jerk and said a "joke" when she was still wearing black while she was still grieving

Didn't really fall in love with L right away (obviously) but she did care for him in a way that showed she cared

Loves bubble baths

Like Light she still has dreams of Rem and often find herself crying over the waking of her dreams as if someone killed her loved one in front of her

And like Light she knows after Rem confronted her she was the second Kira and feels terrible about it

Has a beautiful singing voice

After a lot her and Kiyomi kind of became friends, she honestly feels as if Kiyomi reminds her of someone she knew before (ie rem)

L:

Dude, this man was aware he liked both for a loooooonnng ass time, since Wammy actually

He knows Light and Misa were Kira, I mean he subspecies it since day one but to actually be right honestly hurt him.. He didn't want to be right in this case. So, he swore not to say a word since they're no longer Kira and 2nd Kira

Loves baths more than Misa

His family died in an domestic abuse murder suicide and he wandered out the house alone in which an officer found him and discovered his family's death, since then he's been emotionally isolated

Is autistic just doesn't get meds

Has lots of stim toys and objects he uses a lot when he thinks hard or under/overstimulated

Loves hot cocoa with marshmallows and whipped cream

Watari was basically his father after the many years they've known each other, doing the most of a father like role than others, helping the boy when needed, etc. And while L doesn't show emotions he generally is greatful and sees Watari as his father figure, even having him his best man and father-of-the-groom for his wedding

MISALIGHTL:

As mentioned with L when I said "wedding", the three didn't really want a huge public wedding since that would exposed L's identity and it would be a headache to deal with so they had a secret small ceremony with friends and some family with Watari being L's father-of-the-groom, Sayu as Light's Best Lady, and Kiyomi was Misa's maid of Honor. They each wore a mix of white and black with some red elements thrown in there for many reasons but mostly cause L said they looked good so yeah

Their wedding cake was similar to these two:

They all live in an apartment together, similar as to the building they were all stuck in, and have their own rooms/studies for work while Misa keeps working as a model and actress and both L and Light kept working as detectives until Light decided to leave being a detective after so many nightmares of cases and being Kira and decided to be a true crime/mystery novel writer

One day while they were chilling, pre-marriage them btw, L decided he's going to visit Wammy to get any plans of who his next "L" would be if he died and they came along with him. There they were able to meet Near, Mello, and Matt. The three kids hung out with them during their stay back in Japan to see who is perfect for the next role. Weeks pass and all three are doing really well and it didn't really sink in until later that L is actually doing this to see if he wants kids. Well, Misa and Light like the idea and they ended up adopting Mello as their son in which he admittedly cried

They go on date nights three times a week, one for each pair with their trio dates mostly being at home

After a few years of marriage they had two kids of their own in which Mello likes the role of older brother

NEAR:

Like L, Near is autistic (I believe that's canon and people hate it??)

Is nonbinary. I'm sorry I honestly can't see this baby as cis at all!

Owns lots of pants, shirts, skirts, dresses, tights, boots, heels, flat shoes, socks that'll work with him with any gender dysphoria and day

Primally goes by Near since that sounded right

Suffer from night terrors which is how his spark of studying happened cause that distracted them

Demi-Sexual bean!

Got adopted by Kiyomi and gets spoiled rotten

MELLO:

Choco-holic what else is new

Suffered an eating disorder which was quickly helped fixed with Matt and his new family

Mentioned above with L, Light, and Misa adopting him, he adores his family gratefully and it's not just cause L chose him out of everyone

Him and Near still have a rather strong rivalry but it's healthy now and also more so childish thanks to their adopted families

Likes his Uncle Matsuda a lot (Matsuda ends up marrying Sayu in this)

Is kind of that kid in school who knows shit and will market the crap out of soda and candies to the kids who have money and parents who won't allow sugar in his household

Often gets caught sneaking out to see Matt and sometimes (a lot) Near by his parents

Is Pan and always knew it

MATT:

Got adopted by Stephen and Teru in this AU

Still is obsessed with video games and eats candy cigarettes until he's legal to smoke if he wants to

Is straight besties with Mello and Near

Has so much gaming stuff it's unreal

Loves the rain

MATT X MELLO X NEAR:

Got together sometime after Near was adopted with Matt and Mello being a thing first and Near joined after

They're both protective of Near

And then Near would shock everyone with a thrown of a textbook to the face if someone says something bad about either of them

Misa is overly supportive of this relationship, Kiyomi loves to tease Near often, and the many times Teru and Stephen would interrupt calls with them to tease is too much

[oatmealcrisp-freak]

spoiler alert for zetsubou billy the dyke ive figured out how i wanted to end it

like i had where i want to end it pretty well hashed out in my head. light and misa are definitely dying together and they're taking L with him... somehow. dont have the build up for that ironed out. but the big thing is that light takes a bullet or maybe even a few for misa. i need that to happen and then i need her to do her Kira Cackle and then she and misa escape

but the thing is is im thinking soichirou is the one who fires the gun. following off the mock execution ykno? he doesn't get the fatal shot. misa does, two for one special, after begging ryuk for the right to end light's life cus ROMANCE

so im thinkin

im thinkin

wheres Sayu in all this? whats the explanation when she comes home and gets to learn her big sis slash mother figure not only died but died in part because their daddy did the deed?

sayu getting the death note isnt an uncommon idea but i think itd be sooooooo cool here if she did that to continue light's legacy with ryuk at her side.

smthn like

"No. No, Light's problem wasn't that her plan couldn't have worked," Sayu said, voice low, eyes fixed on her sister's polished headstone.

The secret of Kira's identity had never been released to the public, or even to Interpol, only the assurance that Kira was no more. No mention, of course, of the man who died with Kira - L's reputation had been considered too godly to allow to die, and had been allowed to live on.

Not her sister, though. No. Never her. The Light Yagami that stayed in people's memories remained a shining, sparkling star without a single smear to tarnish it.

Even in death, Light could not be allowed her personhood. The things that Sayu had come to understand as she'd grown older - they'd been illuminating.

She breathed in deep and gave her head a shake. "No, Ryuk."

She turned and looked at the demonic monster hovering behind her.

"Light's problem? Why her plans fell through? She loved our parents too much. Light cared way, way too much," Sayu said, her voice shaking around a snarl no matter how badly she tried to hold it back. "About them, and about pleasing them. All for dad to shoot her in the back."

Sayu looked back at her sister's grave, her eyes hooding, her hands loose at her sides as the wind stirred through her hair. When Light was alive, this was a similarity between them that they shared.

"I don't have that problem."

But not anymore.

L's legacy lived on. The world thought Kira's had been relegated into the fine print of the history books. It was what everyone in charge had decided.

They'd decided, yes. Impetuously, perhaps hopefully so. And they'd decided wrong.

[musical-chick-13]

Hey, can you re-imagine a wholy genderbent Deathnote, is too cursed?

Okay, it is SO funny that you mention this because I was talking to my Long-Distance Best Friend the other day about the fact that there is, apparently, (or at least was, at some point before the strike?) a plan to make a live-action TV series adaptation of this for Netflix. Which is...a whole other thing I don't want to get into, but ANYWAY.

The POINT is that we were talking about what would have to happen to make me have some modicum of hope that this might not be the worst idea ever (remember what happened the LAST time we did live-action Netflix DN, we got the 2017 movie no one needs to live through that again). And what I ultimately came up with was:

Every single character, except for Light and Raye, is now a woman. (Obviously this isn't wholly genderbent, but. It's close enough to this ask that I found it to still be a humorous coincidence.) I think in the hands of the right writer, it could be an interesting examination of misogyny and how baked-in that concept is to the justice system. (And I think it would lend extra context to the fact that Light was able to keep operating for so long. If the people opposing him are all women in a historically male-dominated field, they'd all have to contend with a type of professional and societal discrimination that he'll never have to, thus giving him an advantage. Also L would be a Weird Girl™, which would absolutely raise some interesting questions in terms of the scope of this character's influence and their societal perception. Also femslash Near/Mello would be canonically possible which is OBVIOUSLY the most important factor to take into consideration.)

Soichiro's difficulty in believing Light's guilt would gain an extra dimension if this character were also grappling with the societal expectations of motherhood (especially while being in a position of authority in a """masculine""" career). And Matsuda...I just think some woman, any woman, should get to shoot Light repeatedly in a fit of rage. (Also something-something calling women in the workplace idiots/making them the butt of the joke/consistently overlooking them, I think you could do something there.) I think this theoretical concept I spent way too much time thinking about really only works if, even though the major and supporting characters are women, it's still made clear that they work in an environment overwhelmingly occupied by men.

As for a FULLY genderbent story...Light as a female character is, to me, indeed an idea too cursed. I will not elaborate.

And I don't think the Shinigami experience the concept of gender in the way that we do, so tbh I'm not really sure a whole lot would change in that regard. But I do think a female Ryuk would be very funny.

Naomi being a man I think would be...not cursed, I just don't particularly enjoy it. But mainly that's because I am A Gay™, and I love thinking about women who are tough enough to have the word "massacre" as part of their nickname. :)

Misa being reimagined as a guy could be really interesting, though, given how a) the entertainment industry treats women differently from how it treats men, and b) the world at large generally expects men to react differently to trauma than women do. (Although I still very much prefer the version of Misa that serves as a deconstruction of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl). And I'd be curious to see what the viewer/reader response would be if this character were a man. (Mainly because, historically, audiences are a lot more positively receptive to extreme, unhealthy displays of devotion when they come from a male character than when they come from a female character, but this answer is already probably too long, so we don't have to talk about that.)

(Best Friend ALSO mentioned the idea of Rina Sawayama playing L, and I am now gay on a level I previously didn't ever think was possible, but we don't have to talk about that either.)

Uhhhh....TLDR, full-genderbent DN kind of cursed, but there are some really interesting ideas you could examine. (The one veto I'm gonna make is that I do not think this story works if Light is a girl, but-you guessed it-we really don't have to talk about that.)

Also, stan the stage musical for serotonin and clear skin!

Death Note Notes

I've been watching death note fore a while now and I have many things to say.

Firstly the first intro change in the anime sounds like it's saying the f slur. It's funny to me for no reason whatsoever.

Second, I would be crazily into this if it followed L's pov because I'm kinda tired of Light being so plain. He needs to get his memories back for the sake of my sanity (nevermind he got them back while I wrote this).

Third, I love Ryuk. He's so silly. He may look ugly and scary but I want to give him all the red apples while asking him about the demon realm. I also love L. I used to sit like him a lot when I was younger so the nostalgia really hit me.

Forth, I'm so sick and tired of the way Light treats Misa. Girl you deserve so much better. I know I could treat you better than he can cause any girl like you deserves a gentleman. Anyways she could do so much better and she's a model. You could get yourself a better man just by walking outside.

Lastly, Light has the power of killing someone and all he does is give people heart attacks. If I had that power all of them would be freak accidents. If he did that he could have gotten away with it.

Anyways, if you made it down here have a cookie 🍪 and a pat on the back. Not many can stand my info dumping.

what would rem (and ryuk i guess) look like as humans? big butch lesbian energy from rem tbh

okay, anon...

so obviously they're are technical 'official' designs for Rem and Ryuk. for Rem, i usually go for her design in the musical where she is of course played live by a human, namely Megumi Hamada who is the tried and true musical Rem in my heart

i usually use Rem's form in the musical when i'm making her "human" or "humanoid"... specifically Megumi Hamada's version of Rem... which has a lot of different styles and i suggest looking them up because they are all very beautiful and i literally scream every time i think about how pretty she looks

i also enjoy the popular headcanon version of human Rem, where she has dark skin and a pastel goth aesthetic,, which i think perfectly juxtapositions Misa's general aesthetic of blonde hair, pale skin, very dark clothing that she has for most of the franchise

Rem's hair is usually white fading into a lighter blue color, but the anime changed it to be purple for some reason when they animated her,,, but tbh i fucking love Rem with purple so much and associate her more closely to that color than i do the color blue (so i keep her purple hair the majority of the time, though i do sometimes make it blue just because [see baby blue on ao3])

i agree with the butch lesbian Rem accusations and support this HOWEVER i love keeping Rem's hair longer, plus giving her the classic blue/purple make-up she sort of has as a Shinigami but like... on a human face lol

Rem in the musical has a taller, slimmer build which i enjoy consider how angelic she looks with her white outfit, especially bc she has a sheer, white cloak thing in most of the shows haha

but i also love a buffer Rem bc it matches the general build she has in the show, which is very... unhuman haha:

she has a very broad chest and shoulder while keeping a very small waist and long legs,, ofc Ryuk has basically the same build as she does

i love love love making Rem absurdly tall,,, in a remisa WIP i have, i think i made her like 6'6" or something but i'll check my document to see how that is,,, anyway giving her and Misa a crazy height difference is so amazing to me bc i'm pretty sure Rem and Ryuk are both like... 7ft???

OKAY NOW FOR RYUK:

Ryuk also has a design in the musical which is very Him™ and i absolutely love it... for this, i usually think of Kotaro Yoshida's performance of Ryuk which is fucking amazing btw

but Ryuk also has a very humanoid "prototype" design that i think is amazing (a lot of the fandom a couple of years ago freaked out over it because it was a very attractive humanoid man and did not look like the ugly ass (yet somehow still attractive, apparently), goofy Ryuk we have today haha)

so for Ryuk, i generally prefer using that design over his musical design bc... idk why, okay?? but for Rem, i opt for her musical design a lot (it's because i'm secretly in love with musical Rem but shhhh)

hello, little tiny side note, i personally think my best depiction of a humanoid Rem is in my story my heart is rose-tinted on ao3,,, ... it's smut and an unfinished longer story but i'm very proud of it and not passing up an opportunity to advertise haha

[katsukikitten]

Bro goth girl isn't in love with her shinigami monster that's in love with her when he just said falling in love with a human expands your life?

I mean this emo girl is into Ryuk 😔 Rem isn't bad either tbh. He's so soft spoken

Oh my god Light is ready to murk everyone there 😂 god damn.

Damn Light is stupid hot. Is it his face? His condescending gaze? Does this man have no college homework. His red and black outfit is 👀

L be looking like a fuckin corpse.

Ryuk whisper in my ear pls. He stays hunched. Light has friends?????

Light has fucking friends 😂 how?

Oh shit she didn't even need to see the Shinigami just his lack of a death date 👀 damn haha he brought out friends for nothing 😂

Misa listening to the opening or the ending of her own anime is fucking iconic SHE GOT HIS HOME ADDRESS BRO

L is battling demons in his head for real. God all this furniture is ugly as fuck in this hotel. Ryuk I swear to God the taunting 😂 this bitch literally went to the house. Damn she wears contacts huh?

I know her panties were soaked when she found out Light was hot 😂 SHE'S JUST GONNA BRING THE DEATH NOTE FOR HIM TO FINGER FUCK God damn this outfit is so cute.

Okay but her exchanging half her life wasn't a bad trade she probs had thousands of years depending on how smart that previous shinigami was.

This bitch 😂 I'm HOWLING SHE JUST WANTS TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND???

ALSO Ryuk is living his best life cause he's a front row seat to the fucking TEA he's got the drama of a life time.

Oh my god shell kill her friend for dick???? I would never give my book to fucking Light nah NAH can we not Misa 😭 why are you like this girlie pop

The three way view hug is killing me and Light is such a dick but hot 👀

Light Yagami Relationship HC's

~*~*~*

Content: Light Yagami x gn!Reader

Warnings: Yandere themes, Light murdering your friends, break up

Notes: This turned into more than relationship HC's, but this has also been in my drafts for a while and I just wanted to get it over with lol

~*~*~*

Lol

You're FUNNY if you think you could actually love Light Yagami

it's me. i'm funny.

Yeah, anyway-

Pre-Kira? Mans is alright. Doesn't exactly understand some relationship stuff, like the importance of affection other than soft kisses, but wont be afraid to ask

Will also probably make sure of your boundaries once the relationship starts

Wont start out head over heels, I think Light is somewhat of a demiromantic/sexual. It'll take him a while before he's head over heels for you.

Mostly a respectful boyfriend, if not clueless when it comes to this, again. Nothing wrong with that.

Now, post-Kira Light?

oh shit

He will still make sure of your boundaries, but he will begin to push at them after a while. See what your limit really is

This may lead him to using you like how he would use Misa, the only difference being that he actually had feelings for you

Speaking of Misa, he informs you of his decision to "date" her

Honestly? You broke up with him because of it. And good on you. You deserve wayyy better than that. However...

Nobody leaves Light Yagami heartbroken. You will be the true diety of the new world alongside him! No other woman or man or person matters other than you- can't you see that?!

He'll go on a desperate rant to you in the rain a couple weeks after your breakup. It was the first time he had seen you since then.

Of course, it's going to take more than begging to get you to go back to him. So, you leave him in the rain.

If he sees you with anyone else, he's finding a way to put their name in the notebook. He can't stand the thought of someone else having you but him - no matter the gender.

Eventually he tells you that Misa knows their relationship is fake and lies that he's free to date other people. He then explains the Shinigami eye deal to you (you already knew about the Kira part) and begs once again for you to come back

You tell him you have to think about it. On the surface, he accepts that answer, but in reality he's angry that you wont take him back

But, he knows if he gets angry, that you wont go back to him. Then who would he rule with?

Eventually you decide to get back with him, but you want your relationship on the down low

"Oh, because of my public relationship with Misa? I understand. That's actually pretty sma-"

"No. It's because I don't want to be made a fool out of." You responded coldly.

"W-wait, so I can't tell...anyone?" Light stood, grabbing your shoulders.

"No. Just like I haven't told anyone about the notebook, or that you're Kira." You glanced away. It was for the best.

Ryuk laughed hard that day.

Light was convinced that you wanted to keep it a secret because you had feelings for somebody else, and he just simply couldn't have that.

Suddenly, criminals stopped dying and people you knew were dying instead

Knowing it was Light, you knew he'd only stop if you allowed him to make your relationship known.

"Light- Light please." You begged, tears falling down your face as the fourth friend died this week. "Please, stop killing them..."

"But why should I? I'm afraid they might take you from me." Light caressed your cheek.

"I'll- I'll let you make our relationship known! Just please stop killing them!" You cried.

Light grinned. "I'm glad you've come to see the error of your ways. Very well, (Y/n). I'll stop killing your little friends once I make our relationship known."

Relieved, you embraced him. His grin widened, as the rest of your friends' names were already pre-written in the notebook with times and dates. He planned to make your relationship known after. It would send a message to you to not defy him, your future husband, again. And it would send a message to everyone else to avoid you, leaving you to be his and his alone.

[h2bakugou]

Could you do a scenario for Bakugou, midoriya, shouto and maybe iida? Their s/o has an older brother but they never told them that, they also didn’t tell their brother their dating so one day their older brother sees them be all affectionate (kisses and hugs) and the older brother gets all protective, like, “what the fuck are you doing with my sister” type thing? Sorry if that’s confusing haha, I have an older brother who’s really overprotective lol

a/n: yesss! more s/o having siblings content!! thank you for the request love! i’m rewatching death note and akfkdkjsfkd yall- ryuk’s english va does the voice of chadwick the frog from bratz kidz fairy tales and geronimo stilton SFSJFSJ AND misa’s english va is pinkie pie from mlp- yall- periodt this is so off topic im so sorry 

headcanon: them finding out you have a protective older brother

key: (y/n) - your name / (f/n) - first name / (l/n) - last name / (e/c) - eye color / (h/c) - hair color / (y/q) - your quirk / (b/n) - brother’s name

warnings: fluff, swearing

»»————-　★　————-««

katsuki bakugou

»»————-　★　————-««

So you hadn’t told Bakugou you had a brother, nor your brother that you had a boyfriend.

Your older brother was a bit over-protective. Which wasn’t a bad thing, you just didn’t want him to scare off someone you liked. Though you doubted Bakugou was the type to run scared.

Still, you were worried.

You spent time with one another carefully, to not raise any questions, and to prevent the two from running into each other while you were out with one of them.

But one day you weren’t so lucky.

Walking with Bakugou, hand in hand, you were enjoying the little walk back to the 1-A Alliance dormitory. 

The sun was setting, painting the sky a beautiful blend of oranges, pinks, and blues. Bakugou had stopped to admire it.

“Katsu’...” You tugged his hand before looking up at the sky yourself. 

Before you could even process what was happening, Bakugou had pulled you by your hand, much like you had just done to him, into his arms, planting a kiss on your lips.

In the moment it was everything you’d wanted and more. To be kissed by your boyfriend under a pretty sunset, no one around to see, which was why Bakugou did it.

But the familiar sound of a voice yelling at the two of you quickly broke the kiss apart.

“Hey what the fuck are you doing to my sister?” Your brother was racing toward the two of you.

“Shit.” You cursed, quickly deciding if it was a good idea to run away and avoid the lecture entirely or-

“Sister?” Bakugou glanced at you and then back to the man steadily approaching.

“I’m her boyfriend, relax.” Bakugou said coolly, tucking his hands in his pockets.

“Is that true (Y/n)?” Your brother asked, folding his arms across his chest.

“Yeah. This is Bakugou. Bakugou, this is my brother (B/n).” You introduced the two, biting your lip.

“Why didn’t you tell me you had a brother?” Bakugou asked, almost as if your brother wasn’t standing there at all.

“And why didn’t you tell me you had a boyfriend?” Your brother asked, ignoring Bakugou all together.

The explanation came a lot easier than you thought but afterward, with a warning from your brother to Bakugou about breaking your heart, he finally let you get back to the dorms.

Kissing you once more, knowing he was looking, Bakugou kept a cocky grin on his lips.

izuku midoriya

Deku didn’t realize you were about to be caught until your brother was storming through the park, an angry look on his face.

Hugging you tightly and then putting you behind him, Deku was prepared for a fight.

“What are you doing to my sister?” Your brother asked angrily. Deku tilted his head to the side before giving the stranger an awkward look.

“Sister?”

“You’re hugging and kissing my sister. So who are you? You her boyfriend?” Deku’s cheeks tinted pink quickly turning to look at you.

“Yes, he’s my boyfriend. And this is my brother.” You introduced Deku quickly.

“I didn’t know you had a brother, I’m Deku, it’s nice to meet you.” Deku quickly extended a hand to shake which your brother accepted graciously.

“Careful, you don’t want to see me mad.” Your brother threatened. You rolled your eyes and pulled Deku away.

“He’s nothing but sweet to me, relax.” You know he’s just looking out for you, but you didn’t want him scaring Deku away, especially since you really liked Deku.

Finally walking off hand in hand with Deku, you can’t help but feel your brother’s eyes boring into the two of you.

“He seems nice.” Deku smiles, hugging you closer, his arm wrapped around your waist as the two of you walk to continue your date.

“He can be a bit of a jerk but he’s just doing it to be protective.” You smile, knowing that he wasn’t trying to be a jerk intentionally.

“I’m glad he’s looking out for you! He’s being a nice brother.” Deku places a sweet kiss on your cheek which prompts you to glance back. Seeing your brother still watch, and just to spite him, you clash your lips onto Deku’s, proving your point furthermore that you liked Deku.

Deku kissed back, flustered that you’d pulled such a bold move in public.

“Your brother he-”

“He’ll get over it. He’s just jealous he doesn’t have a significant other yet.”

shoto todoroki

»»————-　★　————-««

Todoroki has siblings. And he has his suspicions that you might have some too.

Whenever he comes to your dorm, he notices a few little photos of your family. Though you’ve never explicitly said you had a brother, the boy standing next to you in most of your family photo’s looked too much like you to be a childhood friend. Of course, it could be a cousin or maybe an in-law, but the looks were there.

He’d just never asked you about it. Maybe you didn’t want to talk about it.

But the truth was, your older brother was overprotective. You didn’t want him to meet Todoroki, the boy you really like, and now your boyfriend, and him say something that would ruin what you had going, not that you’d ever let him get away with hurting Todoroki.

You’d kept everything on the low until Todoroki kissed you after lunch. It was sort of a rushed kiss, something along the lines of an ‘I never got the chance to kiss you this morning like usual and I’ve been holding off but I couldn’t wait any longer’ kiss. You certainly didn’t mind it.

But your brother who saw did.

“Hey. Who are you and what are you doing with my sister?” Your brother cornered Todoroki, looming over him. Todoroki glanced at you and then back to the boy.

“I’m her boyfriend. I’m assuming you are her brother?” Todoroki was calm and collected like usual. PDA wasn’t his strong suit but of course, the one time he actually decides to kiss you in public, something had to happen. He’d stick to kissing you in private for now.

“I am. So watch it.” Your brother warned, shooting you a glance before walking off.

“Sorry, he’s overprotective.” You explained. Todoroki smiled and nodded.

“Why are you smiling?” You start smiling yourself.

“Just thinking about you.” Todoroki wasn’t lying. He now knew you had an overprotective brother, and it sort of fueled him to be a bit more out there as your boyfriend.

Not to deliberately piss your brother off, but to just see what would happen. A challenge almost. He wanted to be on good terms with your family, but you were his girlfriend so...

»»————-　★　————-««

tenya iida

»»————-　★　————-««

Bless this boy. He’s so sweet, and he’d honestly be the best boyfriend.

He takes you on dates, on and off-campus. But you just so happen to run into your brother outside of campus.

Out on a relaxing café date, studying and hanging out with Iida, you don’t expect to see your brother. And you certainly don’t expect your brother to see you locking lips with your navy-haired boyfriend.

“Hey, who the fuck are you? And what are you doing with my sister?” Your brother interrupts, almost slamming his fists down onto the table of the booth where you were sitting.

Iida gives you a shocked look before introducing himself.

“My name is Iida Tenya, and I am your sister’s boyfriend. It’s very nice to meet you.” Iida extends a hand to shake which your brother accepts, eyeing the boy. 

“I’m in the same class as her, and the class representative, I hope that I will meet all of your expectations-” Iida is cut off by you tugging his hand to tell him to sit back down.

“Yes this is Iida, Iida this is my brother, (B/n).” You introduce them and sigh.

“Sorry for interrupting, but I’ll be keeping an eye on you.” Your brother warned Iida. You rolled your eyes and turned to Iida as your brother left.

“He’s very overprotective, believe me, you are fine.” You reassured your boyfriend.

“I hope he doesn’t think I’m disrespectful, I do want to be on good terms with him-” “Iida, you are fine, he’ll like you, he’s just trying to watch out for me. He always has.” You kiss Iida’s cheek, giving him a little hug to show that everything was going to be fine.

“He seems like a good brother.” Iida smiled, placing his hand over yours. 

“Let’s get back to our date.”

masterlist

[misaxlawliet-fanfic]

Prologue/Chapter 1

This is just a brief explanation of the differences between my AU and the actual Death Note story (based on the anime):

¬ Light was caught by L and his death note was taken and is in police custody, Ryuk killed him while he was awaiting his death sentence out of boredom.

¬ Misa is still in police custody (the building L made where he Light and Misa were in for a while) because she is still a suspect and could be in danger - L also suspects that Ryuk may kill her too.

¬ Misa has cut her lifespan in half once and no longer as the Shinigami eyes

I'll explain any other difference/ fix any inconsistencies as we go along with the story.

Now to set the scene for the first chapter:

The shiny skyscraper towered above all nearby buildings, still blending in amongst them seamlessly, if you saw it you would've assumed it was an ordinary office building, not uncommon in central Tokyo. Its metallic cross between grey and blue reflecting the bright light Light of the sun off itself. though you wouldn't notice from inside the building, maybe you would even forget it after being inside the building as long as she had been.

Lying in her messy bed, Misa lay there as she had for the past few days, only getting up to eat and use the bathroom, the room was pitch black only allowing small slivers of light to penetrate the abyss. Light died just 4 days ago. And now her life had no purpose.

Stale candies and sweets covered the table in her- the room. She couldn't eat them because she couldn't let herself go completely in case Light comes back.

As she made her way to the bathroom, the door suddenly swung open blinding her and she fell to the carpeted ground as the 3 maybe 4 figures at the door stood there unresponsive. Once her eyes adjusted Misa looks with anger towards them, honing in onto 1 in particular.

Light's killers.

The 2 officers accompanying him stood to either side of his slightly hunched figure, guns pointing at her - not that they were needed as she couldn't do anything for now.

L had come in again, as he had everyday since Light died at 5pm. In a deadpan tone L said "Are you alive still?"

Misa groaned as L began his too familiar line of questioning and she once again had to repeat the same answers.

"Mhm!" she said loudly looking at the old man stood behind L, Watari as she had resolved to not talk to L at all, after all he murdered the love of her life.

"Have any angels of death come into contact with you?" L asked. He would've asked if any had tried to kill her, though if they had she would already be dead.

Misa shook her head side to side, still facing Watari and not acknowledging L any more than in the occasional scowl. If they had then she would have told them to kill L immediately, but after she gave up Rems notebook even with her memories back she couldn't kill L and avenge Light without the notebook. But for some reason Rem hasn't dropped it to give to her and he hasn't killed L herself either.

"Do you want to see the doctor?" L asked anticipating Misa's response he added "You'll be seeing him tomorrow anyways"

"No I-" she said before facing L for possibly the first time since Light's passing and asked what he meant by that because the only way she would be talking to any doctor is by force.

L not changing his tone of voice just said "You'll see" He had known from the start that she wouldn't let the task force do anything willingly, she was too stubborn and too depressed about Light to do so.

Watari dropped a bag with her lunch, luckily Misa had given up on her hunger strike after smelling Watari's godly cooking.

"You should probably change out of those clothes and put on something fresh for tomorrow" L advised Misa before leaving. The 2 officers closed the door and left her right where they found her.

[alien-baby-boy]

*comes rolling in while holding a microphone* Hello there my friend I need your opinion on Role Reversal AU

The majority people I saw in Role Reversal trope of Death Note community often prefers Light as Misa, L as Light and Misa as L. I, on the other hand, prefers Light as L, L as Misa and Misa as Light. I need your opinions on this, and maybe some headcanons, too?? Thanks :D

hi, again, ace! honestly, i haven't read that much role reversal au, but one i like (called "A model, a mass murderer, and a detective walk into a bar") had L & Misa reversed while Light was still Kira. i also like L as Misa, Misa as Light, & Light as L.

tbh, i don't think Light would make a good Misa. his only style is preppy homosexual & it'd be way to ooc for him to wear pretty much anything else. he clearly cares about his image & how he looks to other people, usually wearing stuff like khakis or button up shirts with sweaters, so he would refuse to wear anything racy or more suggestive than a shirtless photo.

L as Misa, on the other hand 👀👀. we've long since established that L will wear anything comfortable & their pale slender frame would fit perfectly in most fashion magazines. i was looking at clothing references the other day & immediately thought L would look wonderful in this skirt.

ofc i wrote L wearing it in my current w.i.p, but we're getting off track.

Misa would make an excellent Kira, especially with her shinigami girlfriend, Rem, on her side. Misa would start with killing the man who murdered her parents (if they're dead in this au), then kill rapists & creeps, then murders, etc.

Misa & L would become friends after Misa kills a creepy director L works with. The creep had quite a few accusations against him, but none of those models were as popular as L, so it was their words against the directors'.

The creepy director was about to try something with L when he just dropped dead. Extremely painfully.

Misa knew of L before she became Kira & even had a crush on them before Misa realized she's a lesbian. They're now a chaotic friendship duo & Light orginally suspects L is the first Kira while Misa is the second, although it's the other way around.

The rest of the task force don't see anything suspicious about L & Misa's friendship, since Misa loves fashion & L is a model. The task force thinks Light just wants L in HQ because

1) L is cute

2) He's smart & is actually useful to the case

3) Sometimes L wears his modeling outfits or pretty dresses & Light stares at him while showering him with compliments everytime

Watari is L's manager & half of his job is apologizing to directors, models, or other managers his little spitfire pissed off.

Misa does not give up her notebook, or suggest L give up his. They both agree that losing their memories is a pretty stupid thing to do, since they could accidentally reveal themselves & there's no logical reason for them to suddenly get amnesia.

L's shinigami is Ryuk, who gave him the eyes. L's shinigami eyes are navy instead of red. L convinced Ryuk that blue eyes would be less conspicuous, while really L just doesn't like the color red.

Misa's color scheme is still red, as is Light's.

Their personalities are still all the same, but they're all out. Light as gay, Misa as lesbian, and L as nonbinary & queer. Instead of chaining himself to Misa, because there's only so much he can take, Light has Misa move into his apartment.

Light does consider Misa a friend, but she's so energetic & upbeat, Light can't be around her 24/7 without feeling drained.

Since L & Misa became roommates shortly after L discovered Misa was Kira, she insists L lives with them, too. L & Misa both do puppy dog eyes at Light until he agrees.

Light tries very hard to hide his massive crush on L, but everyone (except L) knows.

Light is also very outspoken about the fact he only took this case on because it was interesting, but he personally agrees with Kira. He's a potential ally in their eyes.

Mikami & Takada also switch places with Abider & Wedy, respectively.

that's all the headcannons i have for this, but i hoped you liked it & see you again soon! :)
