who do you think was smarter: l or light?

sorry but i dont think this is a very interesting or worthwhile question. i dont think of anyone including the characters of death note as being ranked on a scale of "smartness" (which means basically nothing)

@thenaphorism @kiseiakhun

im supposed to be taking a final right now but i need to know: tumblr is light yagami really a milf? is that true? please answer fast it's critical it's imperative

okay. my favourite details from the death note musical london performance:

the booklet being paged right to left. with a page at the end saying "you're reading in the wrong direction!"

okay but MISA MISA HAVING LIKE 5 BACK-UP DANCERS LITERALLY ALSO DRESSED UP AS MISA MISA (it was so funny to see them dance around her)

light being dragged along by sayu to misa's concerts. like the Older Brother he is.

misa's concert on stage literally had a rap segment it was WILD

sayu later fangirling over misa's 'latest song' in light's bedroom only for him to be having a life crisis right next to her because of the message in the lyrics. he was sat there like...."ill gladly give you half my years"????

L keeping the "yagami-san", "light-kun" when he talked to them!!!!!! (naturally only happened one time each BUT STILL IT WAS COOL)

ryuk taking any and every opportunity to be sassy. the audience laughed tons at his lines in particular.

like light saying "they're calling it divine justice!" and him responding "or oooh, you know, mass murder. that totally has a ring to it too :D"

L's iconic "well, light...you're the first friend I've ever had." and "what? why are you staring at me? is it...because im the only one who has sweets?" (they changed it slightly cause I think he had marshmallows on a stick? and was walking around with it, gesturing)

after the tennis match, light threw down his racket at L's feet and L held both rackets up awkwardly like a peace offering as he walked towards him

but I swear L nearly DROPPED THEM when misa arrived, I just loved watching him slip into the crowd of fans all eagerly and then the phone call scene afterwards. so iconic.

rem's. vocals. were insane. Borrowed Time. was also amazing.

PUNS ??? during misa's interrogation scene, she's naturally defending light, saying he's not kira, but also defending kira all "kira has saved us all! he's taken away the darkness in society!" ONLY TO HAVE L SNAP BACK "so....light?"

then after this one song finishes, L exclaims "Light!" out of like realisation but then the stage lights actually turn on and he's like.... "oh. convenient :)"

the way the music played in between songs during dialogue was SO GOOD it was really satisfying.

AND THEN THEY REALLY HAD LIGHT SAY "well. they do say the pen is mightier than the sword." near the end. that's just CHEESY

light. laughing. as he was winning against L at the end. "I just wanted to see your face as you realised I won :)" unhinged arrogant boy

only to have him panicking and snivelling on the ground all pathetic as he realises what ryuk's about to do.

and so, at the end. ryuk was sat at the big red chair at the centre after killing light. watching over everything. both dead bodies. the last haunting requiem. it was such a menacing and powerful sight.

Funniest part about this whole misinformed shit about "sibling coded" Meronia is that they aren't. On textual or subtextual level, they're not "sibling coded" whatever in the fuck it implies.

They're not close, emotionally or physically, they haven't seen each other in a long while at the beginning of their cooperative work. Whatever coordination of minds they have going on is explained in the literal plot: they cooperate well, they work together well despite their one-sided rivalry. They're equal and surpassing L when they're united. There's no basis for the "sibling coded" relationship because, for all it matters, they have not been in proximity to each other after Mello left the orphanage. There's little to no detail on how they spent time prior to that, but Mello is shown being close to Matt, not Near.

They have never referred to each other as "brothers" or anything similar, never displayed this "familial" bond that can be seen between real siblings within the same media piece.

Not to mention absolutely zero blood connection between them.

Meronia is at most bully—target "coded". There's nothing about these two that canonically points towards any legitimate "coding" as siblings.

hi! decided I wanted to give the dn musical a watch after seeing your posts and since you seem like a connoisseur, could you recommend the best version and maybe drop a link if you know where to watch? thank youu 🙏🙏

I just want to let you know that I feel so honored to be called a dn musical conoisseur I am honored that my mad ramblings have earned me this title LOL

I don't know if there is a definitive "best" version, but the version that I watched (and the version that I used for my last post) was the 2017 Jp version with Kenji Urai. I mostly watched that one because Kenji Urai's performance was the one I saw referred to most often in clips/screenshots, but I also personally ended up loving his acting, especially when it came to showing Light's unhinged sides in certain scenes :) (I'm sorry Hayato fans unfortunately I haven't gotten around to watching his performances yet, though I may at some point)

There is an upload of the 2017 Kenji version on vimeo, which is where I watched it. It's hardsubbed and it's probably going to be one of the first results when you look up "Death Note musical 2017" so it's pretty easy to find! Unfortunately the video quality isn't super high, but that's kinda the price you have to pay, haha (if anyone does know of a higher quality upload though, do let me know!)

i think its so funny that for years utena has been my favorite character in rgu then i got really into reanimator for (checks calendar) two years and came out the other end like "i'd kill everyone for anthy himemiya. she is actually so awesome and funny." female manipulator enjoyer

[danieladh360]

Does anyone have any tips/tutorial recommendations on how to draw like thinner/more lean male anatomy? Or have good references? Trying to draw Death Note characters again (mainly Mello) and I can’t figure out how to do proper anatomy 😔🙏

[goldensadnessdolphin]

Selfcontious, depressed Death Note character that immediately accepts the Shinigami Eyes deal. Less life time to worry about and you never forget the name of the person you're talking to

hello!! for the dn ask meme can I ask you # 6, 9, and 23?

oh hiiii ☺️ thank you for the questions, asking AND making them !

6. Which is your favorite opening?

The World without any hesitation XD it regularly comes up on my shuffle, i love it so much

9. What song(s) fit the vibe of your favorite character?

for someone who loves songfics i'm genuinely horrible at assigning songs to characters, it just doesn't come to me naturally... however. Near's theme (B version) is just SUCH a good theme, Hideki Taniuchi did an amazing job

... i feel like i've answered this exact sentence before hahaha i need to find a Near song so i'm ready when it comes up again !

23. Your favorite interaction.

after rereading the second half of death note a bunch of times this past year, i have to say, Near and Light have some of the best interactions in the entire manga. Near is able to needle the annoyance and arrogance out of his carefully crafted façade in a very entertaining way. the call where he's playing with the tarot set and the one where he's pretending Mogi died are standouts in my mind !

this is the earliest ive woken up on the weekend in ages

[yunyuis-remade]

heres the fucking issue with piracy. i want the JAPANESE AUDIO. i want to hear the ORIGINAL JAPANESE AUDIO. stop GIVING me the dub as the only fucking option

[perelka-l]

Also as a fun fact once upon a time in 2009 polish Death Note manga volume 9 was released and it had contest about Christmas themed picture and I wonder if in new prints of manga you can still find baby Perelka's art for that contest. It's even signed this way, talk about brand recognition har har

Volume 10 I won back then was first time I won anything in life :D

[codgod]

at least i have someone with the displayname “edward faggothands” on my side

[92fs]

"Near's childlike appearance" man God forbid people are short.
