cannot believe light is cheating on takada with misa and on misa with takada and on takada with the daydreaming he does about L every time someone on the task force isn't directly speaking to him

Samuel was rather happy as a child, going to school and living at the church that took care of the orphan children. Born and raised sheltered from the world in the great cathedral, or "Church of The North".
The child lived with very little worries with a future position at the cathedral as a deacon, however, at 8, Sam met a strange man near the town's square who called himself "The Opposer", who slowly became friends with the young one. The more days passed, the more Samuel trusted the man, and the man made a promise to tell the truth of the church, and the more distressed the child became, eventually running away into the nearest town over and disappearing for months, only being found by the opposing man.
The changes were slow, and what once had been an obedient, soft spoken child, had become a bitter, back talking, angry rebellious teenager, who went against the elders and higher ups to live in "sin" with strange outsiders who never followed the religious paths of the world.

yotsuba arc lawlightmane dark comedy romcom when
#yotsuba lawlight this. yotsuba lawlight that. when will we acknowledge yotsuba misa is the funniest character ever#oh like she knows technically she was kira and so was light but she cant tell anyone Also she can see rem But she doesnt have the eyes#or a death note! so she is just sitting on this information going :]] every time L or light bring it up#because obviously light so so wants to bring kira to justice and keeps telling ryuzaki this :] so loudly :]#and meanwhile L KNOWS the whole time light and misa were kira he's just waiting to learn the details and prove it#what if they couldnt get to higuchi so quickly. what if he managed to dispose of the notebook before it was retrieved by the taskforce#how long could she keep this con going#oh yeah anyway. lawlightmane is like that tweet about Polycule Except It's Just A Relationship But There's Also Some Guy There#misa is the some guy 50% of the time but light is the some guy like a solid 40% of the time. this is real and true#dn.posting

i’m in the midst of death note brainrot (again) and would love to hear your thoughts on misa’s character
I WAS LITERALLY SAYING THE OTHER DAY TO MY PARTNER THAT I CAN FEEL AN AUTUMN DEATH NOTE REWATCH COMING ON..... maybe maybe maybe
misa is so freaking fascinating to me!! maybe next death note rewatch will be an extra special misa focus edition 🔍 she's just so fucked up in such a fun way that tbh i kind of feel is a missed opportunity, especially in the latter half of the story (the anime at least - haven't read the manga). she's so self-centred and i love that for her. her motivation to be kira pours from her own heart. while light has never personally suffered at the hands of crime afaik, misa very much has - both her family's deaths and her own being attached. her devotion to the cause is not just for the sake of saving the world but for saving herself, back on that night. it's like this vicarious way she can get back at "criminals" because she couldn't prevent her own family dying. it's ground into her!! that is the kind of experience you can't just shake out of her!! you can set misa on any path away from kira and i truly think she would barrel right onto it because the existence of kira gives her those warm and fuzzy feelings of retribution or maybe even safety that just like, filters right into her obsessive love for light
i like that even though she's clearly devoted to light, she's still an independent operator (well as much as the writing allows at certain times. eyeroll). i think light's whole attitude around "managing" her approach to being kira is so fkn illustrative of the derision with which he views a lot of people lol. there's something so interesting about how he views misa as impulsive and emotionally driven, so she's deranged, but obviously he is different even though their core beliefs are the same. like you might be using strategy but your goal is the same. idk
YOTSUBA ARC MISA AND POST TIMESKIP MISA ARE SO SPECIAL TO ME PERSONALLY. yotsuba arc because i'm like. oh my god the fact that she is not given ANY narrative space to either literally or metaphorically beat L's ass is a fucking choice BUT the fact that her dislike of him seems to come out as purely petty spats while he and light are chained together is so fucking funny. hater arc, but also, you could write a 9k character study unpacking all of this. it all kind of loops around to this iron-clad optimism that everything is somehow gonna turn out alright... and at that point in time, she doesn't even know how much shit she's gotten herself into. i do really really love that moment in this arc where misa gets her memories back after visiting the tower (when matsuda falls off a balcony. you know the one) but light doesn't have his and L is not even clued into what's happened. and light so so so wants to catch kira and clear his name and misa's sitting there like :)) like, i know she's gonna conspire to give light his memories back ASAP because that's The Plan but come on that brief glimpse in time is so fun and for misa her access to the death note & shinigami is such an important and consistent bargaining tool in her own survival. it was cool to see her have a monopoly on it, no matter how brief
they're so fucking worsties
there's definitely something to say here about her relationship with rem too but honestly i'm gonna have to go back to sources on this one. for me i've always kind of felt some parts of the fandom try to bend rem and misa into the "cute background lesbian couple" template that so many fandoms run on and i'm like. mate. you're not selling me. rem loves misa but misa is just too awful and/or deranged for all of that. i've always kind of felt their relationship was tragic in part because misa didn't fully understand the depth of rem's love for her / took it for granted until rem died. but again, i need to go back to sources
OH and this is getting long but i have the softest spot of all for post-timeskip misa. she is so me and my husband by mitski core. her life is falling to shit around her. her lifespan has been quartered. and she gives up her memories!! her knowledge of the death note has always been her key to survival and light sweet talks her into giving it up and this is the bit where i start hollering and screaming. and from then on, she doesn't even realise how much shit she's in. it's not just that she's in a failing engagement. it's that her fiance has wrung her for everything she had to give and she is being left to the wayside. her suspicion that light is having an affair is almost framed as comical but it's all she fucking has!!! she loves him because it's all she has. she has to choose between light and kira like this is some cosmic fucking joke and she cheers on light apparently trying to catch kira because she loves him. because what else exists in her memory from the last five years of her life???? FUCK
post-timeskip misa is genuinely fucking tragic to me because like. through the sheer power of sweet talking light manages to entirely defang her. she's lost rem. she has a book, she has the eyes, but she uses them solely under light's discretion. and then she gives up her memories because light asks. and like she is 100% a terrible person with the whole mass murdering thing but that kind of adds to it in a way. you get me
#THIS WAS SUCH A RAMBLE.........ANYWAY.#misa's very cool she's not appreciated enough in the source material imo OR the fandom at large but thats not news#post timeskip misa especially gives me worms. brah she just wants to be loved. yeah i know she killed all those people. yeah yeah i know sh#will one day experienced the very deaths she ordered by her own pen a thousand thousands' times over. but that's the point#her fate was sealed from the start just like lights and takadas and so on but she was the one that died slow#especially if u believe the interpretation that she died at the end of the series#which i think would mathematically make sense....TWO eye deals misa. are you deranged (yes)#anyway. go misa misaaaa#dn.posting

good morning everyone and welcome to dn.posting FM. thanks for tuning in to the show. anyway this morning im thinking about how L supposedly 'never got around to choosing a successor' between mello and near but at the same time had primed light and the task force for months before his death to name light as successor of the title L within the team. most likely at least mildly aware of the conflict over succession already brewing in wammy's house. not only placing light in an obvious position as kira (and a position light would never refuse, with how it benefits kira) and building him up as a common enemy. L had light right where he wanted him even after his own death
#LIKE....#ik the connection L had with wammys house was probably tenuous at best but i really doubt that he didn't know what was going on between#mello and near at the time because like. well he was supposed to pick one of them and he needed to know about them to do that right#but he has seen kira first hand and hmm. even early on he speaks quite frankly about his own death. L as one guy might not be able to make#it through this one#but if two worked together....well they'd never agree. unless you dangled what they wanted right in front of them#L is just as good at social engineering as he is at like. traditional deduction i gen believe he could have thought of it#dn.posting

death note is so there was love there except for the desperate horrible black hole that was kira and the death note. on the edges, love tried to persist
#this is about the guy who left the task force being the one to bring the car to soichiro btw. and mr yagami i wont let this go to waste#its also about mello and near. just. all of them. all of those two.#dn.posting
