#ide x matsuda

[matsuxide]

Can we just take a moment to admire Matsuda grabbing a BITTEN apple from Ryuk?

anime:

manga:

Matsuda, I've got one question for you: YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE IMMORTAL OR SOMETHING?

In the russian dub after he took away an apple he literally told Ryuk to be quiet [not like shut up but almost shut up] :D LMAO I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ADDED THIS BUT IT'S FREAKING HILARIOUS. it's so sad that I can only add one video here.

..also just my way to say thank you bc i still don't know how to use tumbr day 372773727

ppl here make me feel like matsuide has a hope <3

Also Ryuk doesn't seem offended, considering Matsuda is alive 😍

Just look at Ide.. He seems to be the only one who noticed this HAHSGSHAHA

*now it's correct.

Now with commissioned art by the amazingly talented @thekatzone ❤❤❤❤

WIP: (4/15 chapters)

Summary:

One miserable year into her internship at the Goblin Liaison Office, Anna Green decides she has had enough and leaves to pursue higher education abroad. As criminals keep dying from heart attacks across the globe, she is soon dragged into the heart of the Kira investigation where her own ethics clash with the rules of the wizarding world. --- Canon compliant for both fandoms. Follows the manga and then deviates between the anime and the expanded universe for a more comprehensive exploration of the plot and characters. [Heavy worldbuilding] [LxOC]

1, 13 and 16 for the fandom ask game? :3

Okay! Thank you for the ask! <3

[Ask Game]

1. OTP?

Hmmm… This is a tough one.

I suppose, if I had to choose right now, it would be MatsuIde. I’ve read some really good fanfic of them, and I could totally see it as a post-canon thing.

My answer may change as soon as tomorrow, but this is it for now.

13. What's a character or ship you haven't written/drawn yet but would like to some day?

I haven’t written anything for Naomi, or the ship Naomi x Halle, and that’s a shame because I’d like to. Naomi deserved better and I’d like to give it to her someday.

Btw, look at this lovely fanart of them!

16. Do people irl know you participate in fandom?

Only my little sister. 😅

[dicenote]

For some reason, Matsuda x Ide x Aizawa (or any pairing between the three) happening during the Near arc has the potential to be so angsty that it wraps right around into being just a little funny.

Like. You've been working on catching a killer for years now. You've watched coworkers, friends, die to this case. You find yourself wondering if what you're doing is right, or if one of the people by your side is the man you're after. You and your team practically isolate yourselves from the outside world, working night and day to find this killer. You can't trust people enough to give them your name. Time stands still. You wonder if (when?) you're going to just drop dead from a heart attack. You've been wondering this for years now. Is it weird to feel so numb about that thought? Nothing you do is even remotely helpful. You know this. You might have been told this to your face. In this battle that you've risked your life for, you are, and always have been, completely and utterly useless. So what do you do?

Hook up with your coworkers, apparently

Also, Mogi's there.

REBIRTH

closed, writing answers

We hit 50 followers. A! Thank you all!!

I picked the title because, well, I'm killing canon to bring it a new life

As promised, here is our event: an ask game where I give canon characters some depth. I'll use the hashtag #death note reborn if you want to look through them all once I've written some! :D

So, pick a character and one of the letters from the list below! I'll run this for about a month? I've never done a writing event before but that seems reasonable :)

　★━━─・‥…━━━☆

╾PICK A CHARACTER

Anyone goes except Takada, the members of Near's or Mello's team (Matt is fine), Rem, Ryuk, BB, Ide, Mogi and Ukita. i. do not know them enough.

I'll have the most stuff for L, Light, Misa, Matsuda, Matt, Mello, and Near, but anyone not mentioned above is good to ask for!

you can also ask about my OC Rie :>

╾PICK ONE

A: all my thoughts (everything I think about the character, a mix of the below) | L, Aizawa

I: in-depth psychoanalysis (what it sounds like)

J: job (a different career for them)

K: knight in shining armour (what's their role in the mediaeval au, how their character is different) | Mello

L: lei's death note (my headcanons, but those that are present in my au and go against or contradict canon facts)

M: motivation (what's their motivation? what drives them as a person?)

N: number (I list 1 to 10 and something after each; see Matsu's for examples) | Matsuda

O: older (if they lived for another 20 years, what would they be like?) | Mello

P: personality rewritten (turning them from 2D plot devices to 3D characters with emotions + feelings)

Q: question (ask me a specific question)

R: regrets (what do they regret the most about their choices, would they make different ones?) | Light

S: sexuality and gender headcanons (what. what it sounds like.) | L, Light, Mello

OC in Three 

thanks to @rexxles​ (x) for teh tag! i’m doing this for fabrizio (fab) matsuda, a fandom OC who i miss very much! an aroace fashion icon and fashion designer, who’s known to be chill yet theatrical. you’d be shookth he gets along with the most down-to-earth peeps, sksksk.

[ID: a collage consisting of a quiche lorraine, a red-pink lantern with japanese calligraphy, and a colorful row of threads forming a heart / finish ID]

Sources: x, x, and x.

Tagging, no pressure tho: @365runesoftheamalgamations​, @idreamonpaper​, @oh-no-another-idea​, @ls-daydreams​, and open tag.^^

also you can interact with this post, if you’d like to be a part of my tag game list.^^

[findroleplay]

hello! im a 22nb looking for a (18+) rp partner! looking for someone who writes lit/semi-lit (i dont have a preference for exact reply length, i just prefer a 3-5 sentence minimum). i tend to prefer writing all-lowercase for myself (i use apostrophes when rping, my ooc writing style is very different from my rp style), but i am more than willing to use proper capitalisation for accessibility reasons/partners preference.

i am open to smut, but id prefer to build a story/dynamic around our characters first. angst, fluff, and hurt/comfort are also very welcome. i am open for cc x cc, oc x cc, and oc x oc, and i am open to any sort of pairing (m x m, f x f, m x f, etc.). i am willing to double up, and i prefer to rp in discord servers for organisation (i can make the server myself).

here are my fandoms/pairing preferences:

- chainsaw man: LOOKING FOR AN AKI!! specifically akiangel or aki x (nb)oc rps. i can play angel, galgali, and can also play aki for doubling up reasons/if you would prefer to play angel. HEAVY NOTE: I HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO PART TWO!!! i am reading the manga + ive watched the anime, just havent gotten to pt2 yet.

- death note: no particular preference for ships, open for anything, i just like writing for death note. i have death note ocs (m + f), and can write for light, misa, matsuda, or matt.

- pokemon: LOOKING FOR A GUZMA!! i am seeking guzma x (m) oc here. i can write for guzma (doubling up reasons) and kukui, but this list may grow since im playing several games at once. i am also open to pokemon-based aus for other sources!

- i am also open to original fiction oc x oc! as long as you have a description of your oc, that is ok. art/picrew/faceclaim would be nice, but is not required. i have m, f, and nb ocs.

i have a few plot ideas that i would prefer to discuss with whoever wants to rp, since the ideas are Very wordy and i dont know if tumblr asks have a character limit. again, i prefer to rp in discord servers for organisational purposes, and i can make the server myself (partner would also get admin roles to edit the server).

if youre interested just interact with this post and i will reach out!!

[dirt-apple-productions]

for the ask game, let's switch things a bit up: Soichiro, Matsuda, Aizawa and Mogi

Soichiro Yagami

My opinion on this character: Man, poor dude. He was such a good person and all he got for it was pain.

OTP: Soichiro x Sachiko! I actually made something cute for them as an outline for Judas.

Platonic OTP: Soichiro x Matsuda. He’s such a good, patient mentor to poor Matsu!

Unpopular opinion: Soichiro was a good man who did his best. Stop with the “Soichiro Yagami’s A+ Parenting” tropes! It takes responsibility off Light’s shoulders and blames Soichiro for something he gave his life to stop, which I find honestly really shafts him a lot.

Something I wish was canon: Soichiro learning the truth right as he died of a broken heart. It would be so poignant. But I like the canon death, it doesn’t bother me.

Touta Matsuda

My opinion of this character: Sweetie pie deserved better. What a precious optimist who did his very best. Amazing character arc.

OTP: Matsuda x Sayu. (And for those people who’re inevitably going to beat me up verbally over this, she’s 19 when he expresses affection for her and there’s no indication he had a relationship with her when she was a minor. You can debate if it’s healthy, but given that Matsuda by then was a close family friend, I frankly have no issue with it.) I also like Matsuda x Misa, but not as much as L x Misa. L challenges Misa as a person more than Matsuda does (sorry, Matsu).

Platonic OTP: Matsuda and Soichiro!

An unpopular opinion: Matsuda is not stupid. He’s very earnest and even smart, and quick-thinking as well. I think the reason everyone was so annoyed with him was that they were very high-strung in general given what they were dealing with.

Something I wish was canon: Matsuda becoming Sayu’s boyfriend after the show. He’s so much older than her, but I think they could bond and find solace in the wake of Light’s death.

Shuichi Aizawa

My opinion on this character: He reminds me of Simon Peter. He’s the temperamental one who struggles with trust issues, and he’s the only member who’s married aside from Soichiro himself. I really like how L fired him so he could go be with his family, even if he was a jerk about it.

OTP: As he’s married, Aizawa x Eriko.

Platonic OTP: Aizawa and Ide!

Unpopular opinion: L did the right thing, even if it came off the wrong way to Aizawa. L struggles with loneliness and so he was pushing Aizawa away so he wouldn’t be forced to let him go later. That’s how I’ve always seen it. Oh, and he looks like Kramer from Seinfeld.

Something I wish was canon: More of his delightful baby! Please!

Kanzo Mogi

Opinion of this character: ultimate malewife. You go girl.

OTP: I actually see this guy as entirely aro-ace!

Platonic OTP: Soichiro, Matsuda, and Mogi as the tag trio.

Unpopular opinion: His lack of dialogue gives him more personality than a bunch of dialogue would have.

Something I wish was canon: Mogi being a nanny. What is this man doing as a detective?!

[palant1r]

Yo I just discovered ur art and I was like "🤩😍✨✨✨" it's awesome!!! I have to ask tho. Because I've obsessed over it for many many years: could u possibly draw some Ide x Matsuda (You don't have to do it if u don't want to!)

aaaa thank u so much this is such a nice ask!!!! i have certainly been Thinking about ide/matsuda thats for sure — i like any ships that treat my boy Right. no promises on whether i'll draw it tho, because trying to make my hands draw something that isn't whatever wild bullshit my brain is fixated on is like herding cats

[milaham]

Can we see some cute Ide x Matsuda? (I know its a weird ship 😅)

Sorry for taking for so long but here's your Ide x Matsuda! Hope they're cute enough ♡

[boniae]

The answer is yes, Ide. This is Matsuda you’re dealing with. LOL. 

Sooo this one was kinda spurred because I recently found a draft for a oneshot fanfic I was writing in 2018 about the aftermath of the Kira case, and Matsuda struggling to find closure. All the detectives were given some personal time off and basically Ide brings expensive wine over to Matsuda's place to cheer him up. I think I wanted it to be slightly romantic but I ended up hitting a wall somewhere lol. The fic itself is pretty sad but I STILL RLLY WANNA FINISH IT hopefully someday.

[matsuxide]

Happy Pride Month <3

Check it out!

#canon #this is definitely not made in PicsArt #this moment was just cut out of the manga, I swear

(it took so much time but I'm happy with the result)

I URGENTLY NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING CUTE ABOUT IDE AND MATSUDA, bc this will definitely make me happier after a tough exam

Ok.. *breath in* I'm calm... *breath out*

so SO!! I thought about how they would live together..

Ide would invite Matsuda to move into his apartment, taking their relationship to a new level. I'm sure he helps Matsuda move, carries boxes of his things and suitcases, and then complains about back pain :'D

I am also sure that Matsuda, before moving, knew where almost everything in Ide's apartment was located. So once they're done moving things, Matsuda will find ointment quickly for Ide's back and give him a massage before applying it :> 

I think it’s convenient for them to live together, because it seems to me that despite Matsuda's clumsiness, he doesn’t create a mess at home and keeps everything clean. Especially the clothes in the closets. His clothes are always ironed and clean.

And.. Ide is obsessed with the question of keeping his house clean! So I think they will feel very comfortable living together. 

Matsuda, who is forced to get up early for work, probably likes to sleep a lot on the weekends because he watches TV until late at night. Ide is an early bird, so he tries to go to bed earlier and forces Matsuda to do the same “for his own good". And he will most likely scold Matsuda for spending too much time in front of the TV screen. Something like, "We're staring at the computer screen at work almost all day! Give your eyes a rest." — anyway, Ide joins him all the time simply because this is another opportunity to hug him.

I have a hc about Matsuda making skincare things. And he will definitely make Ide join in this :D Ide will resist, saying that this "girly thing". (He was raised that way, like that skincare products are only for girls.) Matsuda will prove the opposite, showing that the products he bought are for men. 

And after Matsuda successfully manages to persuade him, Ide will actually be enjoying this whole thing. And Matsuda will give him a lot of kisses on the cheek afterwards. I think for this reason, Ide will take part in his skin care routine.

(I FOUND SUCH A GOOD SPF [BIODERMA Photoderm AKN Mat SPF 30 — it's so good for sensitive skin] AND CLEANSER [COSRX Low pH Good Morning] THAT'S WHY I'M OBSESSED WITH THINGS LIKE COUPLES DOING SKINCARE TOGETHER.)

I also think the longer they live together, the more they enjoy spending lazy weekends at home together. They probably go out on dates in good weather or on holidays, but the rest of the time they are staying indoors. ♡

Thanks for reading this :>

I hope you have a good day, and don't forget that no matter who you are, there will always be someone who will accept and love you ♡

[captainhysunstuff]

Can pwease see Ide Hideki getting belly rubs from Matsuda Touta 🥺👉👈

Henh, needed an excuse for this concept.  Ide just has a very bad stomachache.

[dicenote]

touta matsuda

discuss

omg YES ty! This is gonna be a long, disorganized ramble, so bear with me!

Touta Matsuda. My blorbo, skrunky scrimblo, love of my life, etc.

There are so many things about Matsuda's character that I could talk about. His impulsivity, his loyalty, his uncertainty... All of it makes a very real and very interesting character. And I think that a lot of his traits shine in one of the most horrifying scenes from his perspective: the Yellow Box Warehouse.

Like, let's take a step back and look at the numbers here. On one side of the warehouse, we've got a guy claiming to be L, and the three members of the old Kira Task Force that he brought with him. On the other side, we've got a different guy claiming to be L and three members of the SPK that he brought with him (oh. and the guy from the Task Force that got kidnapped in the mix). Outside, Kira's accomplice is lying in wait. So we've got ten people in all who are ready for the final showdown. The reveal. The evidence that will finally end this years-long nightmare and point to the true identity of Kira.

And of those 10 people, only one of them doesn't have a clue who Kira really is.

Light is Kira. Mikami is X-Kira and finds out who Kira is as soon as he looks in the room. Near and the SPK are all on the same page. Mogi and Aizawa know. Ide's a bit more on the fence but he wasn't completely in the dark. So Matsuda is the only one who goes in totally blind.

If anyone were to re-write Death Note purely from Matsuda's perspective, the Warehouse scene would go from tense to horrifying. To (nearly) everyone else there, this confrontation isn’t meant to reveal an unexpected truth, it’s to confirm something that they already know. But for Matsuda? Near's request to meet at the warehouse is, at worst, a tactic to once again frame Light. Because Light obviously can't be Kira, right? Light will show Near that he's wrong, and the investigation will continue as normal until the real Kira is caught.

But then Near presents that irrefutable evidence, and everything that Matsuda knew for over five years comes crumbling down. Light starts monologuing about how the world had to be fixed and how no one could ever make it as far as he did. Kira and Light are one and the same. Matsuda always thought that Kira was a well-intentioned person who was helping change the world. Ide and Aizawa and Mogi believed that Kira was evil, they were much stronger in their resolve than Matsuda ever could be. But Light had confessed to him once that he too questioned if what they were doing was right. If Kira was doing right.

Light has always been Kira.

And then comes the absolutely tasty part where Matsuda shoots Light. I love how chapter 106 is called "Intent to Kill", because it reminds me of how Matsuda and Light are foils to each other. Better yet, they can be compared against a man they both held such deep respect for, Soichiro Yagami.

See, Soichiro threatens to kill people a good couple times, and even holds a gun to his son's face, but he never has any intent to kill. In fact, he's never killed anyone, as (I think) Mello points out. It's almost kind of silly. Like, Soichiro draws the line at firing bullets or writing full names in the Death Note, and that's it? Everything else is fair game? Weird line to draw, but go off I guess.

Light, meanwhile, justifies killing thousands. But only with the Death Note. With the Death Note, his intent to kill becomes a righteous one, another step on the path to becoming God of a New World. The criminals deserved to die. Those who get in Kira's way deserve to die. Because Light isn't a serial killer. He's doing the right thing! Crime is going down, war has stopped, and Light is the only one who could have possibly gone this far and done this much good.

And then we're back to Matsuda. I believe the mafia raid is the first time we see Matsuda using a gun, and we see that he's damn good at it. So good, in fact, that he's able to fire only non-lethal shots to get the Death Note back. (Also, fun tidbit: I'm pretty sure he's the only one who doesn't go into the raid with a rifle, he's just got like, a standard-issue cop pistol with a light on it.) The same thing happens in the warehouse, at least initially. He fires at Light's hand to get him to stop writing. Then he and Light yell at each other for a little bit about (who else?) Soichiro. Light demands that Matsuda shoot the others, because he's the only one who understands Kira. When Matsuda hesitates, Light resumes writing Near's name. Then Matsuda fires again and again and again. Anything to make Light stop. Anything to make it all stop. But it becomes obvious that he's not just shooting Light as a deterrent. What does Matsuda say as he's doing it?

"He needs to die!"

The others literally have to drag Matsuda away before he can execute Light on the spot.

Matsuda is a character full of contradictions. He dedicates over half a decade to fighting Kira, but he doubts the whole time. He tries to follow in Soichiro's footsteps but in the end makes the same justification that Light did when he first started writing in the Death Note. This man is a criminal. He deserves to die. The Yellow Box Warehouse not only exposed Light's true colors, but Matsuda's as well.

[lawtistic]

edited based on reblogs ive seen

I'm always seeing others complain about how their fandom used to be amazing and how bad it is now, and all I can do is flex how the death note fandom has grown to be an actually decent fandom since it's peak of fandom garbage around 2017 (but its was always bad before that point)

also you guys are old /j

in 2006-2018: -L never died, he actually ran away to marry everyone's OC's!! uwu L never did anything wrong L is just sweet innocent cinnamon roll!! >o< -WARS were waged over mello x matt and mello x near and i will continue to fear shipping either in case i get a knife hurled at me -screw misa and near, they both suck! hate pages and slander CONSTANTLY, and if you stated you like one or both of them aloud you should fear for your life -task force? who? -if you don't like MY headcanon, you SUCK! i'll leave hate comments on your posts on a daily basis. - takada and mikami are HORRIBLE people! ignore the fact they're also written to be morally gray, they suck.

in 2022: - L and light and morally gray characters with morally gray actions, they have made bad decisions in their lives and it's honestly not a hate crime to like one or the other - mello x matt and mello x near shippers are free from their shackles at last, there's mostly mutual respect between these two shippers, bonus points if you ship them as a poly relationship - you're allowed to like misa and near, you're also allowed to not like them. i love misa and near stans, they're awesome people to talk to and be around - a good majority of the fandom ships lawlight, including myself because red flag x red flag is always good for drama - matsuda stans !! soichiro lovers !! there's less aizawa and mogi stans, and ukita and ide fanbases are still as dry as tumbleweeds on fire, but at least they exist in the fandom's eyes at all - you're allowed to have opinions now! yay! that's something i've never seen in any other fandom this year - takada and especially mikami are now recognized as actual characters who have made not so great decisions, but they have actions and inner monologue that reflects who they are as people, you're also allowed to like them.
