for my followers sake ive been trying to restrain the fact that i became just embarassingly fixated on the death note musical in the past week but i dont know how much longer i can hold it back so here’s a tiny doodle of Light from memory 
stanky...............
#art#fanart#sketch#death note#light yagami#death note the musical#god okay but forreal......................its good#the reason i looked it up in the first place is like#my knitting club is full of huge musical fans#and like i love some showtunes and i love musicals in theory#but most just havent really grabbed me from a character or plot standpoint#i loved jekyll and hyde as a kid but i was also disappointed how the performance of confrontation was done on stage compared to the demo ver#i liked the music in hamilton as many 15 year olds did at the time and i still appreciate rap in a showtune as someone who loves rap#but you physically cannot get me to care about the plot when its an adaptation of the tstory of a founding father#i didnt spend my entire public school career learning about shitty old white canadian dudes just to learn about an american one#i still like some of the songs tho lol#anyway yeah i struggle a little to care about musical plots especially ones that are adaptations of newer media#like i like hairspray a lot i like the more ensemble feel of the non musical movie a lot more than the focus on tracy of the musical#but the songs are great and i think its a really cool change that instead of tracy winning at the end the kid does#but heathers.......heathers........is a very good musical and candy store is a fantastic song except i had a huge grudge against it ehrdfjkf#its good!!! im sure it is!!! outside of candy store none of the other songs really grab me but im sure its fantastic!!!#but alas....i hate how JD is portrayed dshjakshfdjs i really loved the original movie im sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy#anyway ive learned a lot about musicals from my knitting club and theres so many weird premises#like carrie (have not heard it yet) and spongebob (heard it and its good but i cant get over spongebob not sounding like tom kenny)#death note was another absurd musical in theory that they mentioned but none of them had heard it#and i went.....and listened to it....and then i listened to the japanese versions.... and then the korean versions...#and then i watched the 2015 kenji urai production and it was all over man.....it was all over for me#ITS SO GOOD you dont understand IT WORKS SO WELL i shouldve known it would work fantastic OF COURSE DEATH NOTE WORKS GREAT AS A MUSICAL#the show with the most dramatic utterance of the line 'ill take a potato chip and eat it' ive ever heard would work FANTASTIC on stage#the melodrama......the absurdity.....death note is the perfect musical
