#but their romantic leads

[rubyleaf]

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

not only do glinda and elphaba participate in an array of romantic courting gestures (the constant hand holding, dancing together at the ozdust ballroom, the enemies to lovers/"loathing" of it all, etc etc), glinda also mirrors specific gestures fiyero makes towards her and uses them on elphaba (giving elphaba the flower fiyero gives her, when they first meet fiyero says "our first fight" then in the popular sequence glinda says "let's not quarrel" to elphaba)..............like.........................

My Lawlight headcanon is that-

L fell first:

But Light fell harder:

__________________________________________

Yeah yeah, I'm well aware that the first friend scene was a lie from L's side and a mind game from both sides- BUT look at Light's FACE (and no Light's a good actor but this split second of '...' + transparent eyes is not a performance imho)

He's genuinely stunned (translation: L broke him for a moment there lmao it's like, during that single moment, they're the only ones in the room!) BEFORE he realizes that they are playing a role here in front of the task force. As Ryuga and Light; which is what he tells Ryuk later:

(His eyes are hidden *clenches fists* Light is emotionally affected and does not want anybody to know that L got him. Again.

Except this time, he feels humiliated in a strange sort of way.

Despite everything, including the whole 'enemies till death do we part' thing they have going on? Light enjoyed his time with L (albeit not without the collateral damage of other people dying but I digress). He DID like playing tennis with Ryuga as he tells him. That part's not a lie! L being a good friend is not true though.

L does not want Light as his friend for real. He's bullshitting as always to catch Light off guard. This isn't new. But it. is. Personal (to Light, at least).

Only it shouldn't be! This is all part of their game, isn't it? Then why does Light feel a bit...disappointed due to it not being real? In an alternate universe, would he have liked truly being L's friend?

No! Of course not, that is a ridiculous line of thought! Additionally, just 2 chapters ago, Light was like:

Can you see the lawlight and yagamane parallels here? L intends to catch Kira!Light and poses an execution threat to Light while Misa means to date Light and poses some threats of her own:

Both L and Misa come on too strongly toward Light (one as an enemy and the other as a potential ally). Light merely wants to get rid of them both so as to achieve his keikaku with ease. While dealing with Misa, Light thinks, 'I'll be killing her eventually...I can't develop feelings. That's how most idiots screw up.'

Notice how similar this is when it comes to his dynamic with L as well? He has to kill the latter eventually too and his reaction (to when he's confronted with the fact that Rem *can* kill L at his immediate request before the fiasco of Misa getting arrested happens at least) is this below btw:

The guy is truly shocked at how easy it seems to kill someone as intelligent as L. Light does not smile or seem amused. He takes this (L's future death) very seriously (I think it's the first time he does this since his first two kills). I believe it's partly due to the begrudging respect he has toward the genius detective and partly because of the 'what-if's in his mind.

His eyes, blown wide, are unreadable except for the astonished look they show. It is a rare display of emotion we see from Light (I can't seem to pinpoint just what the emotion is tho) which is quite noteworthy imho.

________________________________________

...Wow I got carried away.

The point is! Light feels a little humiliated for letting his emotions get the better of him even if it was for just an instant during which he was gobsmacked by L's lie which he wished for it to be true.

Light can rationalize it all he wants but deep down, in his heart, he'd always know that there was a period of time (however small) that he not only fell for L's lie, but also secretly under LAYERS of repression actually just wanted to live in that world- the world where there was neither L nor Kira, just Ryuga and his friend Light.

That's wishful thinking and boy would Light hate this if he acknowledged for even a second that yes, he does want that.)

Again. Light 'Developing Feelings = Idiotic Screw ups' Yagami cannot afford to deceive himself that L, on some level, wants to befriend him as that may as well cost his life if he did. He cannot get distracted as that was most definitely one of L's intentions of calling him his 'first friend'.

He'll dutifully play along as he had anticipated it a while ago:

"I like this, Ryuga. If you want to be friends with me. I'll gladly hang out with you."

Light sure looks thrilled as hell to be role-playing as L's friend lmao- like he loves mind games, he revels in duplicity, he enjoys challenges that L adds to his life so is it any wonder that the combination of all is *chef's kiss* for Light? He is so so EXCITED to be hanging out with L face-to-face + looks forward to stabbing him in the back!!

Gotta love lawlight! </3 <3

WE ARE | EP16

[dclovesdanny]

Version one

Jasmine Nightingale, an intern at Arkham, was seen as a kinder, softer version of Harleen Quinzel, which meant everyone kept an eye out for her. She made good progress with some of the rogues, with Riddler even making plans to start an escape room business after he finished his sentence. So they all noticed when she froze for a moment, perfectly still until she keeled over, only to be caught by a body guard. They were so panicked they didn’t notice the slight flash of green on her clock.

Samantha Isley, Harley and Ivy’s daughter, was barely five years old, and her moms were talking with Auntie Selina. Sam was just petting Bud and Lou, giggling as they licked her face. The three women noticed immediately when the giggles stopped, and they whirled around to see Bud whining as he licks Sam’s face. They are so panicked and focused on checking on their daughter that none of them noticed the momentary flicker as all of their digital clocks flashed 13:00 in green.

Tuck Fox clutched his backpack tightly as he waited for his uncle to get home. He wanted to come clean to his parents about his online work, and how he had been hacking into dangerous things and helping the vigilantes. He was barely 7, he knew they wouldn’t react well. However, when his uncle arrived home, it was to see Tuck passed out, his head against the couch thankfully, but it was clear he fainted.

Daniel Todd had been looking out for his brother since the day Jason was born. He made sure his little brother didn’t have to see their mother’s corpse in the bathroom, that Willis never left any big marks on Jason (even though he would always regret the times he couldn’t stop it.) It was why he agreed to go with Batman, who still fed them even after Jason hit him with a crowbar and Danny kicked him in the nuts. Jason always relied on Danny. So when Danny passed out in the middle of the drive, his eyes rolling back and body limp, he freaked out, both accusing Batman of drugging them and begging for help. In the chaos, Batman only vaguely registered the odd sound of the clock tower tolling thirteen times.

"But maybe I can tell you now? Actually, I wanted to be with you, too. I wanted to escape with all of you..." "Yes. So do I."

Drew one of my favorite HetaOni scenes because the rest of the game reveal left me with a lot of feelings about it 🥲
