i get the lines blur but there IS a big difference between media which doesn't explicitly tell/show you precisely what happens in the end but does point pretty clearly down the intended road vs legitimate open endings where you're supposed to decide what happens completely on your own and multiple interpretations would be supported

#rookposting #i know it's murky at times but #(and with the full understanding btw that once my work is out there i can do very little about how it's interpreted)#i do feel pretty baffled when i get comments on mostly my death note fic about open endings #it's true that mostly they dont explicitly end with like 'and then they died' but i do point towards a particular ending and also #hint at it quite aggressively at times #again like i accept the work is no longer just mine once it's shared and you can read it however you want and that's totally cool #but if you DO ask me. L is not surviving my work ever. id kill him in an au where he works at a grocery store.#eg sometimes the comments on chatoyant are like well im choosing to believe light chooses not to be kira anymore and #L abandons the investigation and they stay together :) and i can't stop you from thinking this #but i do promise that i would never ever write that. i am sorry!#for chatoyant and the thirty second hour in particular (and to an extent for call me by even tho it's an au?) the ending is basicall #y intended to indicate a return to canon at the end of the fic. events proceed as per canon #we all know how well that went #anyway! it's all ok! sorry to yap! if you prefer your endings happy feel free to read them in it's all yours #you can absolutely disregard my authorial intent if that's what brings you joy #but just in case anyone IS wondering. my authorial intent is homicidal @ l lawliet like 99% of the time #id let him live if it were funnier that way
