Though the real wrinkle on the "you are given a Death Note to do good" problem is that I am not sure if this is a world that has the anime/manga Death Note in it. Because if it doesn't you can probably do a pretty good job becoming some mystical force inscrutably pursuing your ends, all fine.

But if it does you are going to have that scene where the President and the National Security Council bring in a Misa/L fanart Discord mod into a session after a wave of dictator deaths hit the wiretaps, where all the big generals are wearing puzzled frowns and haggling over whether its the Chinese or the Ruskies. And they sigh, take out their $100 dollar prop replica (complete with rules) that they bought at Anime North 2007, and say "Mr. President Sir, you don't understand - that bitch has a Death Note" with the most excited gleam you could possibly imagine in their eye. Their L Cosplay is coming out of the closet the moment they get their Top Secret Clearance badge to serve as a "Special Consultant" for the inevitable taskforce convened by the CIA.

And I will be accursed by god before I give this smug, LARPing fuck the satisfaction. I would burn the book out of spite.

Read a better manga!

i've seen some posts like this before but i, personally, think gideon and john have way more of a relationship than some of yall think

like first of all i am firmly team Kiriona Is Gideon - maybe gideon with a little bit missing from the reverse lyctorhood and definitely Depressed Gideon, but there's nothing to suggest she's a wholly new person and not just the same person, who has undergone radical change within the last few months. in fact, there's WAY more evidence to suggest she is the same gideon we have seen before, but bitter and depressed and in different circumstances.

second of all, theres not much evidence to the contrary. while the majority of this book's readership are certified John Antis (with reason!) and are likely to project those sentiments onto gideon, we have no evidence that she actively detests him, or anything of the sort. she certainly has reasons to dislike him (everybody does), but at least in the short glimpses of htn and ntn that we get of their relationship, she doesn't seem to act upon them. she thinks of him as her father.

and also, this is gideon we're talking about. gideon, who has longed for parental & familial affection for her ENTIRE LIFE. gideon, who followed around her mom's skeleton for years bc she was that desperate for that sort of connection. and here comes dad who also just so happens to be god, i don't think she would immediately give up trying to have a relationship with him. plus theres the vindictive prideful part of it, too: 'you all treated me so badly and you didn't even know i was god's only kid, how's that feel' moment. she actually brings that up a lot.

If i had a nickel for every character I know of named Gideon who has heroically sacrificed their own life so their necromancer ally could carry the day, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

Me waiting for the one (1) person who writes fanfic for this obscure character to release another fic like a crack addict

I'm solidly in the camp that Admech absolutely can cast miracles the same way as Sister's of Battle, it just manifests as them discovering hidden cheat codes for their guns that makes them shoot better, and that's indistinguishable to them from the strange shit that happens with STCs every other tuesday.

I'm really not a villain enjoyer. I love anti-heroes and anti-villains. But I can't see fictional evil separate from real evil. As in not that enjoying dark fiction means you condone it, but that all fiction holds up some kind of mirror to the world as it is. Killing innocent people doesn't make you an iconic lesbian girlboss it just makes you part of the mundane and stultifying black rot of the universe.

"But characters struggling with honour and goodness and the egoism of being good are so boring." Cool well some of us actually struggle with that stuff on the daily because being a good person is complicated and harder than being an edgelord.

Sure you can use fiction to explore the darkness of human nature and learn empathy, but the world doesn't actually suffer from a deficit of empathy for powerful and privileged people who do heinous stuff. You could literally kill a thousand babies in broad daylight and they'll find a way to blame your childhood trauma for it as long as you're white, cisgender, abled and attractive, and you'll be their poor little meow meow by the end of the week. Don't act like you're advocating for Quasimodo when you're just making Elon Musk hot, smart and gay.

i know that mafia romance is cringe or whatever but like. the feedism possibilities...

it's about the unrepentant enjoyment of the good life. and also. fat crime bosses who carry their size as a symbol of power. who are constantly inviting their inner circle to big, lavish family style dinners. and, of course, no one dares refuse the boss's generosity, so everyone's cleaning their plate... and then their next plate too
