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

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.

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.

[dailyreine]

Naomi: How are you unaffected by the sight of all these corpses, Rue?

Ryuzaki (L): Naomi-san, you're talking to someone who laughed the entire way through American Psycho.

Rue (Rie): It's a satire!

[dailyreine]

did I ever show you guys this

　★━━─・‥…━━━☆

[dailyreine]

Meet Reinette-Rose, or Rehn: Rie 3–5 years before Death Note!!

She keeps this design, more or less, throughout proLogue: 1429. Something to note is there's no 9mm bullet scar. Yet.

[lawlietscaramels]

Hands ╾ Rie

used the original as a base for the sketch, but redrew it all except the hands. not entirely sure if I'm finished. doing this for a collab with friends on insta; @ riexliet is my account so that's why there's the watermark xP

I AM NEVER PAINTING SEMI REALISM AGAIN. NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER NEV

[dailyreine]

Rie: I'm like visible light.

Rie: On a spectrum.

self intro, interaction guidelines & dni, asks rules, REQUESTS OPEN FOR RIE, RIELIET OR CODING ONLY, masterlist, copyright and related policies

my commissions !!!

╾ SELF INTRO

hi, welcome to my bLog! I'm lei (lay), they/them. I'm aroace and autistic. I use tone tags, specify, and speak really "!! :)" positively. I'm an artist and writer and I'm obsessed with Death Note! especially L he's so cute.

I have an OC for the fandom and if people will listen I will not shut up about her/hj . She stars in two multichapters, proLogue: 1429 and fish and seagulls and chips and murder. her tag is #desunorie (Rie of Death (Note)) and sometimes #desunorehn.

my stance on rivals to lovers vs enemies to lovers (I'm the anon) and don't take my OC Rie as a self or reader insert and on AI

╾ INTERACTION GUIDELINES

followers can tag me on anything SFW :) fanart and the like, things you think I'd be interested in.. yep!

I really really appreciate reblogs!! They help other people see my stuff 💕

DNI is general stuff, homo/transphobe, ableist, racist, sexist, zoo- or pedophile, general hate, pro/neutral on the genocide, solely/mainly NSFW blog, all that. probably forgot something but in general, nothing illegal, discriminatory, or hateful.

Change your name and pfp from default before following or you'll be blocked as a bot!

╾ ASKS

Asks are OPEN for Rie (my OC) only. Chat or request at any time and feel free to give yourself an emoji/name and pronouns :D no NSFW asks please. but I'll do my best to answer everything I'm comfortable with!

I want my fics to be as inclusive as possible so the reader will never have distinct characteristics unless the headcanons/story revolves around or heavily features those characteristics (eg "reactions to a reader who does x hobby", "comforting reader who's insecure about y trait"). DO NOT ASK for f!reader unless the reader being female somehow changes the plot completely. Same goes for other genders/traits.

Named anons:

🌜 anon; 🍪 anon; 🍰 anon; 🎲 anon; 🗯️ anon; 🎤 anon.

are they in colour order? nooooo....

Asks and my rambles tag is #lei chats. anons are tagged #anons and #(emoji) anon. Requests don't have a specific tag.

Rie is my original character and though she has been inserted into Ohba Tsugumi's Death Note universe, her design, character, and non canon related storyline are all my own original work. Do not steal her design, claim her as your own, or use her for “inspiration” — it's flattering but it often ends up a copy. However, sfw fanart and story cameos of her are always appreciated! character ©lawlietscaramels , ©dailyreine , ©riexliet 2023—2024.

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!!

Promise ╾ RieLiet

Rie and L have really different personalities and worldviews and fears and hopes and yet they are at the same time similar. A lot is said and a lot is unsaid between them.

　★━━─・‥…━━━☆

Rie stumbles into the room and for a moment L thinks she's going to drop on the floor for another impromptu nap but she raises her head and points at him.

That is the first thing L notices. Soon after he notices a second thing, Rie's red face, and a third, her tears, and when she begins speaking he notices a fourth, her slurring of each word, and by then he's quite sure the woman is drunk.

"Oi, L!" she declares, still pointing at him.

"Ah. Yes, Rie?" the man enquires, finger stuck between his lips as he peers forward at her from his perch.

She sniffles and wipes her face with her sleeve, gestures wildly with bottle in hand. "L, you gotta promise me something. Hey? You gotta promise, right?" Between her tears and inebriated state, Rie sounds oddly like she has a cold – her words are quite difficult to make out, and perhaps she realises this, because she really is repeating herself a lot, L notes in something akin to alarm.

"Promise what, Miss Rie-san?"

"If you die," she tells him through snot and alcohol, "if you die you gotta wait for me, okay? You gotta promise me, L, you gotta -" she hiccups and drags her sleeve over her face again, misery pulling her lips into a pout. Rie sobs loudly, speaks through it. "'F you die and I don't you'll wait for me, right? You won't – follow no cats into the woods or – open the gates or whatever, you'll wait for me, right? You gotta promise, L!"

And she is crying so much and her drink is spilling on the carpet and L is a man equally hungry and thirsty, paralysed between food and water, between telling her he won't wait, he will, he doesn't know, he doesn't believe in the afterlife, what is wrong with you, Rie, shut up and go to bed, when Rie really does collapse, limbs akimbo on the floor.

Dead asleep.

L scoots his chair over and stares at her red, tear stained cheeks, then pulls a blanket from the couch to fall over her.

The man stares at Rie for a moment longer, then swivels his chair back to his computer.

He would not keep a promise.
