love the colour scheme in death note. basing on sense of justice more than individuality or personality, but both come up.

L is blue, because he's detached and analytical when it comes to right and wrong. Light is red, because he's more rash/hot tempered and a strong believer in extreme punishment (plus the literal blood on his hands but L has that too). Red/blue is also common for opponents in anime, and they're almost opposite (contrasting colours) on the colour wheel.

Misa and Matsuda are both yellow, which is the third primary colour, meaning they're not really like either L or Light. Sure, Matsuda has a sense of justice but it's not subjective or selfish. He's a literal ray of sunshine and positivity in the grey Task Force. Sure, Misa is a Kira and in love with Light but her character's actually very different to him (it's such a shame she's never developed). She wants to bring sunshine - yellow - to people, even if it comes out only after a storm. That's why she's Kira. To help people, not to punish them.

Aizawa is green iirc and he has a sense of justice that's more sympathetic, like Matsuda and Misa, but also doesn't question that Kira needs to be destroyed like Matsuda does, in which sense he's more detached and b&w sense of justice like L. Y + B = G

Also OC wise, Rie is purple because she can see both Kira and L's version of justice, yet she's neither blue nor red because she doesn't believe fully in either. I have a problem with making my OCs morally complex fencesitters. R + B = P

[dailyreine]

thinking about L + Rie

Rie likes to shave L's facial hair when he forgets (always). During the Kira case, this includes his eyebrows.

They give little "kisses" to each other by blinking twice. Kind of like butterfly kisses but for two really busy people one of whom is running around the room.

Sometimes Rie will take one of L's hands and place it on her head.

Rie has narcolepsy and L has insomnia, so she'll often end up collapsing on the nearest piece of furniture as she tries to stay awake with him. L will work a few minutes before putting a blanket over her and a stuffed rabbit in her arms.

Riri took a bullet for L once.

Sometimes they play games they make up. Such as, "every time one of us scores a hit while practising martial arts on one another, we pose a question, fact or solution related to the current case," or "I'll give a meaning and you will come up with a word, considering likely historical development and country of origin." How fun!

Rie strokes L's nose to calm him down.

L likes playing point and clickers on a Nintendo DS. He'll lie in Rie's lap as he does. She tends to read something while this goes on.

Sometimes L likes to reach out his hand and have Rie reciprocate by pressing their fingertips against his.

L likes Rie's cooking a lot, but she has to chase him out of the kitchen, unless she wants all the batter to be eaten before the cake can even be baked.

Rie puts rubber ducks and soap in L's hair in the bathtub. He does not appreciate these efforts.

Riri likes nose kisses more than anything else, so she makes L give her lots.

[lawlietscaramels]

here are some whiteboard fox sketches I've done recently <3

anyone up for a sketching session with me sometime? <3

[dailyreine]

NAÏVETÉ/純真 : Rie manga cover

WAAAAAAAH

↑ the sound of me sobbing pathetically because I started this December last year and JUST finished it. sobs. sobsobsobs.

I got a little lazy with the background but overall, considering how long ago I started, I think it looks really good! Not super canon but not super not canon...

!! I traced Misa's upper body (head + shoulders) and the book number, author, illustrator etc. block. !!

closeups + separate rie / bg

i love her <3 this was originally going to be the empty/空虚 cover, but the vibes are so different, I don't know why I thought it would work, haha. Naïveté isn't necessarily going to be a RieCanon arc though...

[dailyreine]

RIE REF!!!! you can also check out her ArtFight profile, though I do ask if you're interested in her story to not read the second spoiler please <3

if you wish to draw Riri, be sure to colourdrop from the circular colour refs! A watermark is overlaid over her fullbodies.

[dailyreine]

Light: ...L, are we really going to be working with her?

Rie, holding out a glass jar with a few coins in it:

Light: What?

Rie: Misogynist jar. All proceeds to women.

L: She buys herself stilettos.

Rie, holding the jar out to L too now: I use it to improve women's rights!

Rie: Besides, I only buy stiletto knives.

[lawlietscaramels]

Since you mentioned L liking Pokémon in the Matsuda Interview, what do you think L's Pokémon team would look like if he were a trainer/gym leader? Also if the Death Note cast were gym leaders, what types do you think they would specialize in? I'm tempted to say L is Dark, Light is Dragon (Kira is Poison?), Misa is Fairy, and Matsuda is Normal, but idk.

-🎲

Pokémon! ╾ Task Force

🎲 anon... ily/p. this took a while cause I wanted to draw them with their Pokémon. but good news is..

INCLUDES ART!!

　★━━─・‥…━━━☆

L 🍰

TYPE SPECIALISATION

hate to say it because I want to give him one of my favourite types (dark, dragon, water, ice) but he's a fairy type. he's a fairy type all the way. he loves how pink and fluffy and sweet-like they are.

MAIN: Fairy

SUPPLEMENTAL: Psychic, Grass, Ghost

TEAM

Gardevoir: Psychic / Fairy

Gardevoir form strong bonds with their Trainer and will do anything to protect them. L appreciates the support. In addition, Psychic types are generally known for their intelligence, and Gardevoir is a strong Pokémon. A good choice all around!

Mimikyu: Ghost / Fairy

It's kind of like an adorable toy! L is oddly fond of such things because they remind him of childhood, which he never really had. Also it likes the dark and wears a mask to hide from the world, so that's basically like L pftahhahjhahassja

Milcery: Fairy

This is a floating blob of cream! Can you imagine a more delicious wonderful Pokémon?! Milcery also brings good luck to bakeries, which L likes because he wants the places he likes to prosper. In addition, it evolves into Alcremie, which gives its Trainer sweets! L can't wait.

Shiinotic: Grass / Fairy

This Pokémon send people to sleep, which L is very grateful for as it helps override his insomnia. It also makes defeating other Pokémon easy, and I do think L tends to pick the simplest path when he isn't interested in a course - I don't think he's super interested in Pokémon tournaments.

Swirlix: Fairy

L wanted to catch this Pokémon because it smells and looks like cotton candy. Unfortunately, all it does is make him hungry, and Swirlix itself also likes eating lots of sweets... However, L forms strong bonds with all his Pokémon so he'd just buy more sweets lmao.

Clefairy: Fairy

Clefairy is the epitome of a Fairy type! Pink, cute and caring. It's also popular but hard to find, which makes L pretty proud of himself. But the real reason he caught it was because he was sick and thought it was an escaped Chansey...

LIGHT 🖋️

TYPE SPECIALISATION

I thought Light's was easy, then I started thinking and I was tossing up between adding Dragon, Dark or Psychic. HAHSJHAHA your Poison note was my favourite, it suits. Some of these Pokémon are more Light-y, some are more Kira-y.

MAIN: Fire

SUPPLEMENTAL: Poison, Steel, Fighting

TEAM

Salazzle: Poison / Fire

This uses poisonous gas to manipulate people into being its slaves... Replace poisonous gas with poisonous words and that sounds familiar./hj Plus, Light probably liked the look in its eyes HDHAHDHDH

Arcanine: Fire

A strong, loyal and all around awesome fire Pokémon. Arcanine is also often used by Officer Jenny as a police dog, and I think Light would subconsciously align himself with the law by doing this, because he sees himself as law and justice.

Combusken: Fire / Fighting

Light got this guy as a Torchic, for his starter Pokémon, and is actually fond of it. It's his family. I think he'd really like chickens for some reason, maybe cause of the chicken and egg thing... I dunno...

Iron Moth: Fire / Poison

Even though it's more space and UFO-ish, there's something about it matching records in an old book and observing humanity that reminds me of a Shinigami. So I thought this Pokémon would be oddly fitting for Light, thought I can't imagine how he caught it considering “no records exist of this species being caught”...

Heatran: Fire / Steel

IT LIVES IN A VOLCANO!! Light was definitely super into volcanoes as a kid so he'd probably make it his personal mission to catch and befriend one of these guys. They're magma and can climb on ceilings and walls.. pretty cool hehe

Sneasler: Fighting / Poison

It's kind of like an evil-looking Meowth, huh? It's poisonous and strong and likes to live alone. Light can respect that (but at the same time went to capture one... not very Loner of him). He would also like mountains.

I got lazy and only did flats, but there's a small art thing for the other characters at the end

MISA 💝

TYPE SPECIALISATION

Fairy would have worked, but I think Misa would go with the basic cute Pokémon, plus a couple of dark ones. like in canon: she's not really goth (I believe that's the style) but sometimes dresses like it.

MAIN: Normal

SUPPLEMENTAL: Electric, Flying, Dark

TEAM

Furret: Normal

I think one of Misa's main criteria when catching a Pokémon is cuteness. They have Pokémon fashion shows, iirc, which would be Misa's thing. Anyway, this is a cute, nimble Pokémon and it can move through small spaces, which is surprisingly useful for Misa.

Oricorio (Pom-Pom): Electric / Flying

I have an Oricorio card and it's surprisingly strong!! It looks cute and has like 60HP but can deal 100 damage, which seems Misa-ish. She also loves that this type's feathers match her hair. And the bird thing matches with Light's chicken thing.

Eevee: Normal

do I need to explain this...

brain says yes I do. she's a little bit basic when it comes to liking cute Pokémon, so Eevee was a must! She hopes it evolves into a Sylveon, but it's probably gonna become a Jolteon lmao

Ditto: Normal

It's cute and versatile! Though it has a really bad sense of humour and laughs at lots of things.. I think Misa would default to having it as a Stufful. I was going to give her a Stufful actually but it was the wrong type djjdjf.

Morpeko: Electric / Dark

Misa thinks this thing is adorable and appreciates that it has a darker side. She also finds it super cute when it's eating, which is lucky, considering its reaction to hunger. That said, she kind of loves how troublesome it is when it's hungry...

Bombirdier: Flying / Dark

Misa thinks this is a very elegant Pokémon, and caught it expecting refinement. However, it just drops things everywhere... Things that make loud noises... Misa jumps every time.

MATSUDA 🦆

TYPE SPECIALISATION

His was a little funny to figure out. Oddly enough, I really don't think he'd be normal, so I went full nature version. Water and earth and all. Honestly he probably catches Pokémon regardless of type, just tends to hang out in these types' habitats more.

MAIN: Water

SUPPLEMENTAL: Grass, Rock, Bug

TEAM:

Wartortle: Water

Because of course he picked Squirtle for his starter Pokémon (affectionately). Matsu loves this fella and appreciates its much-needed wisdom. Apparently Wartortle's very old. I don't know how Pokémon time works, but I feel like Matsu would love old things, animals, people...

Swadloon: Bug / Grass

This is in my opinion one of the funniest and cutest looking Pokémon ever and something about it was so Matsuda-ish. He would also love that it helps the ecosystem, and though he felt bad about taming it he really wanted to be friends!!

Magikarp: Water

Matsuda caught one of these guys because L always said they reminded him of Matsuda. He's a little sad that L sees him as “the most pathetic useless Pokémon ever” but at least it's pretty darn cute and has lots of potential (evolution wise), right?

Omanyte: Rock / Water

It's been restored from an ancient species, and Matsuda probably has an interest in archaeology or something so he finds that cool. Plus, they're being released into the wild too much and becoming a problem. He thinks they're kinda like cute squids.

Shuckle: Bug / Rock

SHUCKLE!!! There's something inexplicable about this Pokémon. All it really does is protect itself and hide under a rock, but there's a je ne sais quoi about it. Matsuda is a big fan. It also likes berries and looks a little like a dinosaur.

Lombre: Water / Grass

A nocturnal Pokémon that sleeps on river grass. To be honest, Matsuda probably caught it by accident (if anyone can do that, Matsuda can) one day and just shrugged, said "new friend!" and moved right on.

RIE 🥀

mwahaha or something.

TYPE SPECIALISATION

I kept changing her types because the first batch the Pokémon didn't fit and the second batch were too similar to L and Misa. I kept Psychic and Dragon the whole way through, which is why the first four only have one type.

MAIN: Psychic

SUPPLEMENTAL: Dragon, Ice, Bug

TEAM

Dragonair: Dragon

An angelic and peaceful Pokémon that can change the weather! Plus, Dragonair seems very majestic and beautiful. Rie caught it as a Dratini and this is the Pokémon that has been with her the longest, apart from her starter Pokémon of course.

Espeon: Psychic

Rie loves Espeon a lot and was surprised when her Eevee didn't evolve to Sylveon! She probably prefers Espeon for its intelligence and ability to predict other Pokémon. Rie calls it a Poké-Pyschologist even though it deduces actions by physical matters, not psychological.

Goodra: Dragon

It loves the rain and tbh who doesn't? Rie is more the type to sit inside with a warm drink and look out the windows than stand in the rain, though. She also finds Goodra cute and calm, though it does go to 100% when angry... Huh, kinda Rie-ish.

Alakazam: Psychic

Interesting conversations are something Rie needs in her life, or she gets incredibly bored. So of course a Pokémon that remembers everything is on her wavelength. Plus, it looks like it knows magic tricks. (It doesn't. It's close to hitting Rie the next time she asks how to cheat better at cards.)

Snom: Ice / Bug

I discovered this Pokémon while scrolling through the Pokédex for this project and it's my favourite now, so I had to give it to my favourite OC. Rie loves the snow and ice, more than the rain, and this cute little blue porcupine-y thing is “just so perfect.”

Rabsca: Bug / Psychic

She doesn't talk about it because it makes working in a male-dominated field harder, but Rie really wants to be a mother. And canonically, this Pokémon is always caring for an infant! Rie also likes how colourful (poisonous even) and dignified it looks.

(bonus) Kyurem: Dragon / Ice

It's a bonus because Rie wouldn't have it on her team, but if she were to catch a legendary it'd be this guy. Fits with her types and is waiting for a Trainer to fill it with “truth and ideals,” according to the official Pokédex.

OC interview ╾ Rie

tagged by @rinneroraito and @maevearcher sooooooooo OC stuff on main !! Rie will be answering the questions and I'll comment in blue. this is actually good timing; I have to practise writing in Rie's voice for 1429.

　───⋆⋅˚₊‧♱‧₊˚⋅⋆ ───

Were you named after anyone? Nope. It sounds like I was, though. Reinette. Euuck.

When was the last time you cried? No comment. (Rie either cries very very easily or not at all. not sure about this one.)

Do you have any kids? Not yet.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? No.

...

That was sarcasm.

What is the first thing you notice about people? Four different things at once. Or more. It's hard to pick out each strand of thought. You see and notice lots of things at once, it's just which one you consciously think about first. The thing I consciously think about first is what I would do to/with this person in an apocalypse. You never know when you'll need to know.

What is your eye colour? Purple. sparkles and bats her eyes. (Naturally, it's dark brown. Rie wears coloured contacts.)

Scary movies or happy endings? Okay, those things aren't mutually exclusive, and my favourite is a mystery book with psychological thriller elements.

Any special talents? Many. All of them even.

Where were you born? France.

Do you have any pets? Yes! My kitties Synonym and Requiem. L told me their names were too long so if you agree you can call them Sin and Query.

What sort of sports do you play? Kind of rude to assume everyone plays sports and it's only a question of what kind. (Rie figure-skated for a while, but I think that's it.)

How tall are you? 140 cm. That said the last time I measured myself was at 13. Eh? You want me to estimate? Numbers?!

What was your favourite subject in school? Humanities and Social Sciences (I think this is just history in most places but oh well). And also literature. And also languages. And also–

What is your dream job? I'd like to be a lecturer. Imagine that. Talking at people for a living. Blah blah blah. Things I'm interested in. And they're not allowed to interrupt. I might side hustle as a professor.

───⋆⋅˚₊‧♱‧₊˚⋅⋆ ───

idk who to tag, so anyone who has an OC, go ahead!!
