L’s Backstory

L Lawliet was born in England. His mother was half-English and half-Russian. His father was half-French and half-Japanese (based off of L’s ethnicity confirmation in How to Read. I chose French over Italian for the remaining quarter) and was born in France. His parents simply liked the idea of a single letter name for him.

The surname comes from his mother’s family. His dad took her name when they married. Both parents had black hair. His mother had gray eyes and his father had brown. L resembles his mother more, including her bone and facial structure. He looks more White than Japanese/Asian.

His mother worked as a nanny for a family in the British Peerage. Being around the upper-class despite not being rich at the time led to L developing Received Pronunciation (also called BBC or Queen’s English, along with many other names) as his natural accent despite it being more common among the upper and upper-middle classes of London and Southeast England.

They moved to France when he was young (around 3) because his father wanted to go back to his homeland. When he was seven, they were in Paris for vacation. His parents were shot in the hotel lobby along with several other victims. The murderer fled the scene.

After they died, L’s other relatives couldn’t take him in (they had their own kids to worry about). He spent about a year in a shitty French orphanage where he was teased for being “a freak” and autistic. He was often neglected by the staff because they did not understand his needs.

When he was eight, Wammy found him while visiting France and took him back to England. He was never told off for stimming or anything else relating to his autism. Wammy was extremely supportive and understanding. L was spoiled there (which is why he became somewhat lazy).

After about a week at Wammy’s Winchester Orphanage (he runs multiple orphanages), L was adopted by Wammy.

L has several things from his parents. His favorite is a music box. He plays it when he has trouble sleeping.

He developed an interest in detective work because of his parents’ murders. He started solving small cases (for petty crimes) around eleven years old. Wammy was the one who conveyed his conclusions to the police since they would not take advice from an eleven-year-old.

L eventually solved his parents’ cold case when he was fourteen and had the murderer locked up for life.

He does have a sense of justice and morality (as hinted by several lines in the LABB prequel novel) but is cavalier about it. He is also selfish and acknowledges this. Completely amoral people are pretty rare and it would be hard to write a character like that because most people have some sort of moral code, questionable or not. So yes, L has a moral compass.

He can be selfish or altruistic depending on the situation. Sometimes he wants people to have a lower opinion of him because he doesn’t particularly want hero worship.

L will solve cold cases. He usually solves them for free, but it depends on the case (wealthy private citizens will typically get charged and so will police departments that handled the case badly). He wants to bring closure to the families.

Like it’s stated in LABB, L will usually only take a case if there are ten or more victims (murder, kidnapping, rape, arson, etc) or at least a million dollars at stake (art theft, corporate theft, or any crime involving money). He will ignore these conditions IF the case is interesting and/or noted for being difficult.

L charges differently depending on who is hiring him and what the case is. If he’s being hired by a company/organization/government/person he doesn’t like (because of corruption or bad practices), he’ll charge extra. If the case is annoying/ridiculous but otherwise meets his requirements, he’ll do it and charge an extra fee. If the case goes against his morals, he won’t bother.

L has a blacklist for governments, companies, and people he will not accept cases from. North Korea, certain Middle Eastern nations, and other dictatorships are on that blacklist. He will accept some jobs from China, but his relationship with the country is very strained.

He is definitely willing to do certain illegal or morally gray things if it’s to obtain justice. He will lie, plant cameras and microphones, hire skilled criminals and informants (actual law enforcement agencies do this too, though), and manipulate people. He will also utilize torture, but only on specific types of criminals and cases (like terrorists with knowledge of a bomb or a sex trafficker/kidnapper/serial killer hiding their victims, for instance). It has to be a situation where lives are in danger (or could be) or the criminal is truly despicable/dangerous. There are hard lines he won’t cross, though.

L has studied tons of criminal psychology and actually has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (which is part of the reason why he is such a good profiler). He is a real psychologist and can make diagnoses. He is not a psychiatrist and can’t prescribe medicines, though. That requires a medical degree.

He was always interested in psychology because he finds the human mind fascinating, but he moved to criminal psych after his parents were killed.

L actually was the British Junior Champion in tennis, just under a fake name. He tries all kinds of hobbies to expand his knowledge.

how i feel about all the changes in s3

[oifaaa]

It's funny how opinions can change over time for instance I used to want Bruce to be a good parent but then I realised how fucking boring that is to read at the end of the day comics are soap operas and I'm here for the drama

[remxedmoon]

your friends don’t know what to do.

so!! i redrew every single enemy in the game. in the span of like 9 days (excluding the king i made him right after the last update). that’s abbbout 79* drawings total, with only 3 custom ones for once!! i’m so normal. as always, these are free to use with credit!! go nuts!! spritesheets are included <3

got some notes under the cut, along with As Many Enemies As I Could Fit without making this post obnoxiously long. and i failed. i had to swap between the app and browser several times and i still couldn’t fit every drawing. open this post at your own risk (silly).

okay so first of all. what’s with the asterisk. well. I Drew A Lot More Than 79 Assets Actually. they’re getting posted separately, because this post is ABSURDLY long. you can find most of them in the miscellaneous folder, but for a bit of clarity, i added the teleport map and a bunch of ui elements that reference sprites from the icon sheet. and also the game over and loop back animations but i haven’t finished the spritesheets for those because they’re a pain in the ass so they’re not in the drive yet

if you missed my complaining a few days ago, a few enemies might look a bit crunchy in the actual game? specifically, calamité and désespoir were drawn at the wrong size, because their images in the files do not match the spritesheets! i avoided the issue with most of the other enemies, those two just blindsided me. sorry about that!

^sadnesses having inconsistent designs was actually a running theme with these. détresse rock has an unused design in the files (which i managed to catch before having to redo it thankfully), anxiété has extra spikes that don’t appear on the spritesheet (sorry i was too lazy to fix that one), even the version of the friend rescue in the files doesn’t match any of the frames in the spritesheet. hfjfhfj. sorry about the quality issues.

tangentially related to that, massive thank you to @riggedbones for grabbing the individual frames for the animations for me!! they made my life so much easier. vs friends would’ve been so annoying…

speaking of the animations! hi can you tell i’m not an animator. these were my first time doing Anything animation related since, like, middle school. super sorry for the Jank in some of these! the friend rescue looked way better when i drew it 💔💔.

bourdon’s hands also might act a bit odd, my apologies. the sizing ingame is SUPER inconsistent (why is one of the hands SMALLER than the other????). once i’m able to actually test the mod, i’ll try to fix it wauaua.

the 3 custom sprites are for the triplets! i ended up making two versions for each, one that follows the ingame art, and one with my personal designs for them. i like my own designs for them, but they’re a lot easier to tell apart? so if you want to use the ones that fit the gimmick better, they’re also in the drive 👍

this update. was originally going to have way more custom art. i’ve actually got an act 6 siffrin enemy asset in my art program! but school started and i decided it’d be better to just get the normal stuff done. so the mod can actually come out in a reasonable timeframe. promise that’ll all come out Later! sorry about the wait 😓😓😓

also adding this because i almost forgot: no i don’t know if these are compatible with sasasaap. i don’t have the game still and it’s not my main priority atm, apologies!

okay! that was a lot! and there’s a ton of art down here! thank you for reading all this, i’ll be back with the game over animations and teleport map pretty soon! like. within the weekend. enjoy!!!

Hitting a lil' too close to home?

[athlast]

there's something about butches reclaiming protectiveness and chivalry from an imposed "caring, nurturing" character associated and often forced upon women. something about how while straight men often try to present as careless as possible, masculinity and care are not only not conflicting in the butch identity, but inherent to it. there's something there.

Amity Park hates the Justice League but loves Red Hood and sometimes other heroes

A/n: I got this random idea so here it is. Oh, and this is good reveal AU ok?

-------

Due to the Justice League mocking them and ignoring their villain problems that were also publicly interdimensional problems, everyone hates the JL. It got worst with the GIW coming in, who blatantly went against the meta-laws (which included aliens, demons and so much more that weren't human from the beginning). They started to think the Justice League supported them.

In the Infinite Realms, however, there's a revenant that many adored and others respected. He did not hold back against criminals. Criminals that would rape, kill, traffic, sell drugs, and more to people. He especially didn't like when they brought kids into this. He'd avenge people the way they should've been: by promising that their abuser/killer/whatever wouldn't be able to do it again. And in the place they lived in, the only way for that to be possible was by major injury, heavy social outcasting, and/or death. Most prefer the 3rd.

And after how long the Amitians dealt with the attacks which eventually came to a slow once or twice a week type thing, they started opening their minds to the idea of coexistence. Well, further than they had. So when people started to cross over and start making their small haunts in their side of the veil, the Amitian's began to become aware of the popular hero Red Hood. He was part of the undead community, which was trustworthy in everyone's books.

So Amity Park started making merch. Most of it was for Team Phantom, but there was plenty for Red Hood as well. There were other heroes on the side, like for Superboy 1 (who they renamed to Supernova due to their hatred for Superman for 2 reasons, the obvious and that he rejected a mirror-born), and Raven (the half demon).

And with this coexistence, Team Phantom had noticed the positive feedback about killing in the name of vengeance. So they went on the offensive, and after a good year of that, the GIW lost funding for producing no results and just taking up resources. The acts were still there, but nobody enacted them in Amity, and nobody actually knew or believed them outside of the haunted city.

Then the Justice League find out about the hero group there due to tracking merchandise after they started to sell outside of the city. Superman was the guy everyone liked, so he was sent over. He immediately got thrown out and was now questioning who the heck Supernova was and when he rejected him.

Flash? Outcast. Everyone ignored and walked away from him. they had the police, who never did anything or even had to anymore, kick him out.

Green Lanter? Oh the poor guy. He had his ring taken away and thrown out of the city somehow. It took hours to find it.

Wonder Woman, they had to be ok with her. Not at first, but once Phantom had a talk with her and people learned that they were cousins through Clockwork (Kronos) and Pandora, they were ok. ish. Tolerated was the best word and she got the info back to the league.

The batfamily took a trip there, dragging Red Hood along somehow. And right when Red Hood was noticed, a crowd began to form as everyone practically worshipped him. There were many victims he had avenged and an Ancient (Lady Gotham) came and gave him the gifts she couldn't without scaring the guy.

At one point, the poor guy even cried.

So I was rereading chapter 37 of Shen Yuan of No Relation by @grubus and I realized something. SQQ did exactly what YQY threatened to do years ago and then some.

What an over achiever.
