It's been hours since I discovered that this exists and yet it still feels so surreal. L felt such huge anguish that his heart was aching inside his chest at failing to save Maki from being kidnapped and the first thing that comes out of his mouth is "Light... It hurts. My heart—" and honestly, I felt like being punched repeatedly on the gut because this is honestly... *breathes* I am in awe and in disbelief because why would L speak Light's name like this, when Light was the reason why he's dying now?? Why would he confide in him, when Light had only shown him fakeness and lies since they met. It's so easy to think of all the evil things Light had done to him yet L doesn't think of any of those things.
He wasn't even thinking in this scene because all he can register is how his heart hurts and that it was telling him to speak Light Yagami's name, no matter how absurd, how silly, or how pathetic it seems. Because like Light, people NEVER sought him beyond the great detective L. No one bothered to know him beyond the gothic letter on their screens. Which honestly, isn't their fault because L kept them at arm's length.
But somehow, someone forced L's arm to minimize that distance and he's left with Light and his deceptive yet all-knowing eyes that managed to understand L. And it's so effin funny that a twisted individual like Light was the only person to actually see beneath the iceberg that is L. The one that caused his demise. It's so sick and ironic that Light is the one person who L thinks can understand his pain. He didn't think of Watari, his father-figure.
He thought of Light. Because at this place, at this point, he knew no one would understand his pain, his ideals, his everything, the way they didn't understand Light and his twisted sense of justice and his genuine distaste for the judicial system and how childish his black-and-white morality is EXCEPT L himself.
He called Light's name because deep down he knew, only Light would be able to understand the pressure and the lies the facade he'd been wearing all this time.
It's honestly insane how these two has something worse than romance, and that no matter what universe, no one really wins because all that is left of the other is the empty, shallow void caused by the other person's non-existence.
Lawlight, you both got some toxic codependent sht and honestly i'm here for it.
#death note#lawlight#l change the world#they're insane you're honor#these two are the worst of soulmates to have ever graced this eart#they're both the moth and the flame#i haven't read l change the world btw but i have seen the movie so i have a general idea what happens#and also saw bits and pieces how L WORE LIGHT'S WATCH ALL THROUGHOUT THE NOVEL#THAT NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME SCREAM BECAUSE HELLO THAT IS SO INTIMATE???

Ankh-Morpork, largest city in the lands around the Circle Sea, slept.
That statement is not really true.
On the one hand, those parts of the city which normally concerned themselves with, for example, selling vegetables, shoeing horses, carving exquisite small jade ornaments, changing money and making tables, on the whole, slept. Unless they had insomnia. Or had got up in the night, as it might be, to go to the lavatory. On the other hand, many of the less law-abiding citizens were wide awake and, for instance, climbing through windows that didn’t, belong to them, slitting throats, mugging one another, listening to loud music in smoky cellars and generally having a lot more fun. But most of the animals were asleep, except for the rats. And the bats, too, of course. As far as the insects were concerned…
The point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as Patrician of Ankh some legislation was passed in a determined attempt to put a stop to this sort of thing and introduce some honesty into reporting. Thus, if a legend said of a notable hero that "all men spoke of his prowess" any bard who valued his life would add hastily add "except for a couple of people in his home village who thought he was a liar, and quite a lot of other people who had never really heard of him." Poetic simile was strictly limited to statements like "his mighty steed was as fleet as the wind on a fairly calm day, say about Force Three," and any loose talk about a beloved having a face that launched a thousand ships would have to be backed by evidence that the object of desire did indeed look like a bottle of champagne.
Quimby was eventually killed by a disgruntled poet during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb "The pen is mightier than the sword," and in his memory it was amended to include the phrase "only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp."
So. Approximately sixty-seven, maybe sixty-eight per cent, of the city slept.
— The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett

I keep getting notes about how others see Aroace Dazai AND YET THERE'S NO POSTS ON IT????
Like where are the analysis about Dazai feeling disconnected from humanity and how things like love and sexual desire are two of the main things that people say make us human (incorrect but not the point). Why is no one talking about the vulnerability required to even participate in a romantic or sexual relationship???? Dazai Osamu the man whose bandages serve as an allegory on how he won't allow anyone to come too close and see underneath his facade.
And as much as I keep thinking about the nurse scene and Chuuya's threats to send Dazai's address out there are still multiple plausible explanations that aren't related to him having a sexual relationship with any of those women.
#its hard having the correct opinion on anything ever 😔#but somebody's gotta do it#I'm running on like 4 hours of sleep idk what's happening rn#my head huuuurts#I still stand by that scene in the hospital being a hot and heavy make out#the man was shot y'all c'mon#also Dazai is Dazai he probably just asked those women for a double suicide 😔#i hope someone with better analysis skills picks up on this because its driving me insane#there's so much here to dissect#AND THAT'S JUST THE MANGA/ANIME#i haven't read the light novels so who knows what more is there#im so tired#anyways more to come#because this is driving mw insane#aroace dazai#aro dazai#ace dazai#aroace headcanons#aroace#cory talks bsd

From torrey story about how he met "mage" for the first time :
is it them??? From the Mahoutsukai shihen inazuma jack to yousei jiken
But they also lived in the same timeline as the mahoyome chise elias tho...
But again changelings have long lives, so yeah it's probably them. Do you think they'll encounter each other someday? 👀
#the ancient magus bride#not @me asking and answering my own question lol#I haven't really read other mahoyome varians comic..(?) what do you called it tho cuz it's not a spin-off it's say it's from the light nove#so apparently mahoyome have a light novel called golden yarn... idk what it's about#why this feels like some sort of multiverse lmaoooo#yamazaki-sensei have so much work to do supervising all of these manga-novel#I ain't gonna complaint/point out again for any silly mistake in her work lmaoo#mcu = mahoyome cinematic universe

"Haruka wasn't going to deny that there was someone who could swim faster than him. But he wasn't going to acknowledge it so easily, either. It wasn't that he wanted to win, or that he hated losing; it was just that he couldn't simply accept that there was someone who could feel the water more than he could."
Haruka Nanase's relationship with water is...passional.
like...he's possessive over water. I'm just gonna say that. And, of course, Rin is the cause to that possessiveness and his unusual drive to compete.
Water and Rin represent...something to Haru.
#haruka nanase#nanase haruka#free! high speed#high speed#he's so competitive#and wAtER#no kidding#water is literally everything#rinharu#harurin#free! light novel#rin matsuoka#matsuoka rin#I haven't read anything about mackerel yet and it's concerning...#what about mackerel??

they both just had a super casual moment "damn, we're old" at age 27 and 28 while debriefing this mission. they are not serious
#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#satoru gojo#kento nanami#im reading the first light novel i just haven't had time to read before reading one piece again#they are so silly#i think this chapter is where gojo is going to ask nanami to help yuji after his mission#this could also be them reminiscing their past and then cringing#they obviously moved away quickly from this

gonna.... buy fingersmith soon.
#shitpost#im listening to a song that makes me think about the handmaiden because i REALLY want to make a video to this song#but am so intimidated by finding a download of the movie so. who knows if that will EVER happen#anyways. ive wanted to read the original book for years.#opens in another tab#im working on Dark Heir rn and after that I am supposed to read at LEAST the first book of another light novel series#(haven't bought it yet)#but then after that... maybe i will pick up fingersmith.#im just like. ok the handmaiden is SO good i have to know the original#esp because the handmaiden is a totally different setting but is still the adapted story?#which is so wildly fascinating to me#so i want to know the original and then comapre them#if you have not seen the handmaiden 1000000% recommend its SO good.

fiance got me a kindle for my birthday <3
#val comes out of hiding#with a case and a grip strap (that interferes a little with the case but i'm making it work lol)#it'll be great for my arthritic sad poor hands lmao#and i can download ebooks to it! including fic <3#so like i have backup copies of my bookmarks and i threw them all on there#and threw one I planned to read on there too which i rb'd a few mins ago#it's great because we tend to be into those huge fantasy novels that I 0% can hold and take up a shit ton of space#like bringing brando sando books with me while traveling has been a PAIN lmao#now all i need is a battery pack to make sure it doesn't die. which is its own downside of course#and it means I can pirate so many ebooks. my god so many.#anyway to start with i think i'm gonna go back thru and re-read all my bookmarked fics i haven't read in a while#i'm quite stingy about bookmarks so they're all good (tho i have a soft spot for fluff in hindsight lol)#maybe i'll make a detailed rec post when i'm done?#in regards to fic too though I need to reach out to someone and say sorry for not being a very responsible beta.you know who you are.sorry:#but tangentially related; last night I had one of those core memory moments#it was bed time and fiance was snoozing half-asleep and i was reading fic on the kindle which works great in the dark btw. so dim#and i got up maybe 3 times in 30 mins or so go to the bathroom; get shit i forgot in the other room; etc etc#he's a light sleeper so he tends to wake up a lil#at some point he swapped our body pillows. i have no idea which time i got up it was. i didn't even notice for so long#i use a regular pillow and he has a longer actual body pillow so it was very obvious in hindsight#he loves to mess with me like that. little things make me laugh etc. and in the moment i realised i was just so happy#i'm here in this comfy bed with the man i love reading great fic with the gift he just got me and he's half-asleep and still trying to make#me laugh. and i laugh and laugh and laugh for like 5 mins because i'm so unobservant i didn't even notice it's not my pillow#and not even in a mean way. he loves that about me because he loves me. and he is just so good. so good.#and i was reading a fic about finding someone in any world. i would find him in any world. i would#and i just said 'i love you' and he cuddled into me and went to sleep.#<33333333333333333

drawing for a scene in the TME light novel (specifically, Paris helping out Lyla!!).
I drew this scene immediately after I read it because oh my god of all the things I was expecting from Paris's first introduction, him lending a (unneeded) helping hand to Lyla was NOT what i thought his first introduction would be like
#ik the anatomy for Tyrone is kind of fucked up but drawing this exact pose like what I saw in my mind is hard TwT#TME LN#the mighty extra#Lyla de Belliana#Tyrone de Belliana#Paris Valerian#i had to reread this scene like 3 times but hoo boi do i ADORE the way Paris appears in the background#i have a feeling im going to adore the light novel version of him lmao#so far he reads as being a trickster and i LOVE tricksters#not that he isn't technically a trickster in the manhwa canon but based on the tiny context in the LN he's mischievous af#i haven't read past this part yet but im wondering if Paris helped Lyla because of Fian#or if he helped Lyla because of Helene#because i can see him helping out Lyla due to knowing she's important to Helene#and there's a possibility he's already met Helene and is allied with her#or he's acting on behalf of Fian#which makes less sense in the context of the light novel than in the manhwa bc there's literally no suggestion Paris would know that Lyla i#Fian's “fairy” and therefore he has no reason to help her#so im putting my bet on him helping out Lyla either due to a promise with Helene or because he wants to get on Helene's good side#(and ngl i kind of hope for the latter)#(tho this scene alone made my brain go “okay but what if Paris adopted Lyla as his little sis in law”#because#you know#he resembles IRL!Lyla a lot and i think it's easy to mistake them as siblings if you put em side by side#which would be funny if that's intentional but i do not think so)#also on a non-Paris related note Tyrone gets an interaction with Helene in the light novel and i actually enjoyed it#the manhwa ignores the fact these two are fully blood-related but seeing Tyrone be scolded by Helene really gave them the feel of being sib#and i like how there's a little more depth to him in the LN than in the manhwa#like how he's trying to study the laws and being a political diplomat#i still like him the least of the named Belliana siblings but he's a little less one-note here and im enjoying that lmao

as we can all see, the bsd brainworms got me. so i am adding bsd to the manga collection chart 🫡
#i haven't really connected it even READ manga in so many years#and then i realized that i only owned one (1) volume of haikyuu while i was binging it#and that the anime likely wouldn't go as far as the manga does#(it should only be these next 2 movies i believe?)#so i wanted to be able to actually read the whole story#so I've set off to stop by the bookstore every week before trivia (since they're on the same road anyway) to buy 1 volume every week#or that's the goal but since it's a used book store after a certain point there won't BE volumes i don't already have#BUT now I've added bsd (and it's light novels) to this#alas i do actually have a good but if bsd manga already though#despite having more actually READ IT i do have the first 9 volumes of mana and 5 light novels cksjjcjsjcjjsjc#anyway#🫡#this means if they don't have a new volume of haikyuu i will look for one of bsd instead#and if they have neither i will simply not buy anything#now i just need to figure out the timing bc i was WAYYYYY too early last week fjsjjvjsj#shh ac

ok so i got super fucking depressed and started reading the kagihira manga to make myself less depressed and kagi blowing their team's tournament qualifier is lowkey cheering me up bc i know just how miserable we're about to see him and somehow that's making me less miserable about my own misery
so uh where do i fall on the bdsm scale 😅
#im still reading and they haven't even shown his reaction yet but#i saw him fail to land the basket and was like 'so he's gonna hate himself for that'#and then Hanzawa mentioned it was the qualifier for the tournament and im like oh shit he's DEFINITELY gonna hate himself for that#god i can't wait to see the hurt/comfort unfold#ok but where's my hirano to make me hate myself less /hj#also love how hanzawa saw the lights on in the gym and just went 'hirano you're up'#he already knows wtf is going on lmao#hirano to kagiura#kagihira#should i use the kagihira liveblogging tag? that's more for the novel tho
