episode 5

rem is inexplicably roasting misa (maybe to distract gelus so he won’t save her???? but honestly who knows)

ryuk doesn’t think rem is hot. her teeth aren’t cool enough 😔

ryuk and rem are sports commentating misa and light‘s date and it is wonderful

the taskforce is doing Who’s On First about kira wanting L to appear on tv to see his face and i’m not even sure anymore where the confusion lies

"if i were light and if light were kira, i’d like to see myself on tv" - "uhhh? who?" - "myself. L. so my face is visible" - "who’s supposed to see whose face?" - "kira‘s supposed to see L’s face" - "wait you want to see yourself?" like what?? huh????

rem learned the word 'knutschen' ('to snog') from light’s mom last episode and is making it everyone else’s problem

ONE of the taskforce - possibly matsuda - just called L "baby"

stOP calling 2nd kira slutty/careless PLEASE 💀 💀

presidential alert the boys are fightinggg

i love the implications of "you’re the only boy in tokyo who knows who i am" (yes that’s where he puts the emphasis) because it not only sounds very flirty but also leaves open the possibility of Every Single Girl in tokyo knowing he’s L

L 🤝 light in the ‘being rude to people in customer service jobs for no reason’ department

why doesn’t L want the blueberry muffin?

LITERALLY WHAT IS L‘S DAMAGE REGARDING THIS BLUEBERRY MUFFIN

light just called L his friend!!!!!! or boyfriend!!! who’s to say!! it’s the same word in german!!!!!!

"well, we’re similar in many ways" - light, who just saw L being extremely rude to an employee

L calling light "Kumpel" ('buddy') is everything

LIGHT IS OFFICIALLY L‘S BEST FRIEND

misa called L "a real charmer" and light sarcastically said he’s "scrumptious" anyway time to unlawfully arrest people

the fucking BELLS

blueberry muffin running gag my Beloved (we’ve got a real junket joke on our hands here, miri. lol)

L JUST CALLED LIGHT 'DARLING' (in imitation of misa) (but STILL)

the audio-only medium really helps to put us in misa‘s shoes as she’s restrained and blindfolded. just like her, we are subjected to… uh. creepy breathing. presumably watari’s 😳😩💦

OKAY but misa switching from formal to informal address in her request to be killed when rem shows up Fucks Severely

i am being so normal about watari’s weird effort noise and the forceful way he says "come on" as he gags misa to stop her from biting her tongue

so normal 😩😩😩

light pretending to gaslight himself into believing he’s kira is pure comedy

ryuk ships light/kira selfcest

"the worst webchat in the world is broadcasting to this room" L my brother in christ you organised the webchat. nobody would be on these monitors if you hadn’t put them there

L: "we’ll just keep following the plan" - watari: "…we have a plan?" LMAO

highlights from the german death note audio drama: episode 1

(because i need someone to bear witness to my slow spiral into insanity)

the very first scene is light doing a dramatic kira speech which gets interrupted by his mom calling him down for dinner, a gag which to my knowledge will be repeated at Least one more time throughout the story, possibly more

"i could be a sex god if i weren’t so good with death" - Ryuk

ryuk being highkey horny is going to be a pretty regular occurrence btw. i’m not going to keep mentioning it but just assume that if he’s in a scene, he’s being sultry

watari is Siezing* L i hate it here

"i need to change wifi hotspots" - L, the smartest person alive (supposedly)

68 percent of victims…. so close to the funny number 😔

they’re pronouncing it ya-GA-mi and it’s killing me

bad french accent 💀

L is incredibly hard to understand with his voice filter *cries in auditory processing problems*

bad standup comedy 💀

light almost just choked to death on curry

btw i’m a big fan of how every adaptation has to make light kind of a dumbass (in this case so they can convey that he’s startled or upset in audio only)

is watari flirting with the interpol leader lady????

also watari just made a heart attack joke go off kingggg

*formal address, which uses "Sie" + 2nd person plural instead of the more informal/familiar "du" + 2nd person singular. the bane of all german translations and dubs <3
