[ask-kira-suspect]

have fun with L *hits you with the yandere beam*

"Not again-!" Light groaned, trying to close his eyes as the red beam appeared, in a useless attempt to stop whatever the anon meant, but the damage was already done.

Instantaneously, any single thought that didn't contain L (there weren't many, to begin with) disappeared from Light's mind. Every memory with L went to the forefront of his mind, especially the few where there skin had brushed together, on purpose or not.

Immediately one thought consumed Light, he had to be next to L, he had to feel L against every small sample of skin he had, to dig into L's skin and live inside his carcass if that meant L wouldn't leave him.

Light opened the door to the hotel room L had been staying in, he'd been called over by L for a meeting with the rest of the team, but Light couldn't care less about the meeting. He strode in the room, not even caring to close the door behind him.

The sound of Soichiro, his father, concernedly questioning what he was doing didn't reach Light's ear, or more like he didn't care to understand what the older man had said, his eyes zeroed in on L's bedroom, where he had to be, since he wasn't in the living area yet.

Light opened the door without knocking, shutting it behind him since he faintly could remember how embarrassing it'd be to do this in front of his father, and the other agents.

He made a small huff as he noticed L was sitting down, reading some report on the laptop, or had been til Light rudely interrupted. Light didn't care, just caring that L's attention wasn't on him. L should care about him, him, him! He was Kira, L should be throwing himself at him!

Light crawled onto the bed, before draping himself across L's lap, completely uncaring as the computer keys clicked and spammed letters into the search bar under him, only letting out a small sigh of relaxation as he finally could feel L's body against his own slightly.

But Light wanted, no, needed more. But for now, this was okay, he supposed... for now.

for the art thing... lawlight 👉👈 ? they look so cute in your style no pressure though 🙇

my pleasure - thank you so much ☺️

[koiyoiki]

hehe L(f) on a shelf

got the little hat and scarf and knew what had to be done

[captainhysunstuff]

I was wondering if your Chain lawlight comic was going to be continued? Genuinely not trying to be pushy or anything, I just enjoyed it a lot and was wondering if there was going to be more!

Hello! Yes, it will be continued! Things have not gone as planned on my end, but I do still intend to get the next part out by the end of the year or early January at the latest. All depends on how productive I can be. I do deeply apologize for the long wait. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come as proof that it’s being worked on:

Henh, I like this page a lot~. I’d say that it’s about halfway done, and there will be a few more parts/chapters after this installment. I appreciate your patience! I’m just as eager for this to come out as anyone else following it, lol. Thank you for enjoying it so far! ❤️

[iknowwhereyousnoozeatnight]

can you draw Light having cramps and crying or something, I'm having bad cramps and I want him to suffer too because I hate love him

:)

[sanb3rry]

im begging you pls any light yagami fluff and im UP. FOR. IT!!! 😽

lets pretend this isn't 8 months late hhahahaha...

pairings: light yagami x gn!reader

warning: kinda ooc, not proofread

the sounds of the theme song of the nanny drowning out most of the sniffling that came from you.

"she had style, she had flair, she was there.

that's how she became the nanny"

you hummed along to the tune, layers of blankets protecting you from the cold. you slurped the instant ramen from the bowl and hoped it'd help with your fever.

"you're still sick?" light finally spoke from behind the couch. you slightly flinched at his sudden but expected appearance. you slowly turned to look at him clearly.

"m'not sick." you denied as you shook your head. light cocked his head to the side, "you're not sick?" he repeated in disbelief, he should've expected your stubbornness.

when you nodded your head he couldn't help but chuckle, "you're ridiculous." he said before walking into the kitchen.

your eyes followed his steps as he made his way back from the recently popular destination, the vile medicine cabinet with substances that make everything taste like bitter garbage.

"no." you said making him abruptly stop in front of you, a glass of water and tablets in either hand. he was staring at you, probably planning some wretched scheme to make you take the medicine― he leaned in and kissed your forehead.

"what the fuck are yo-"

"i'm just checking your temperature. you're still sick." he commented, weirdly nonchalant. "will you take the medicine or do you want me to reenact another trope?" he asked, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes.

you begrudgingly agreed as much as you wanted to not take it, another gesture from this man will make you even more lovesick that no medicine could cure you.

You seem like you know a lot about DN so I want to ask: what do you think is the deal with Yotsuba Light? I read the manga two times and it always seemed to me like Ohba suddenly started writing a different character in this ark compared to what we seen in beginning

My friend wrote a really long essay about it that I recommend if you're the type who likes reading really long character essays - but if you don't want to go through 25k words, I cannot blame you, so here's the cliffnotes version of what's happening:

Light isn't just returning to who he was in the beginning.

Light doesn't just wake up and nothing has happened - the past months very much did occur and he does remember them. His memories have just been edited so that he cannot remember being Kira. This means that this Light is under the assumption that he's been investigated for murders he didn't commit and then turned himself in over them in what he can't rationalize as anything but a temporary lapse of judgement caused by the pressure getting to him.

And now he's here. In confinement. Innocent (as far as he's aware).

At the start of Death Note, normal boy Light Yagami has his life uprooted by becoming a murderer.

At the start of the Yotsuba Arc, self-believed normal boy Light Yagami has his life uprooted by being falsely accused of murder.

In both cases, the perfect life that Light has been living up until now is completely turned on its head. Light is imprisoned, indefinitely. If he ever gets out (and that is an if to him at this point), he'll be behind in college. His mother and sister think he eloped with a girl he doesn't even like and started ghosting them over it.

His career plans and social life are both in shambles, and the very real threat of being under L's watch for life (or worse, executed) is hanging over his head.

Just like Kira!Light, this is a Light who has everything to lose.

And thus, he does his absolute best to be on best behavior. Every bit of virtuousness is on full display both for the benefit of L, who needs to declare him innocent, and his father, who is his big idol and whom he's properly working with for the first time ever.

Light's boredom and jadedness from pre-canon don't come through because he really really is not bored while he's scrambling to save his own life from a crime he does not think he committed. He's stressed, and he has a lot to prove.

Light at the beginning of the story thinks his life is guaranteed to go as planned, and he'll have a predictable existence forever. Yotsuba!Light has learned the hard way that this is not true - forces beyond his control can completely destroy everything he believed to be true and even lead his father to hold a gun to his head. He's got a sense of direction in a way pre-canon Light never had, even if he obtained it by way of traumatic experiences.

[skyborneveggie]

Regarding the conclusion that Light comes to after rationalizing his wrongs & accepting the death note, I have split trains of thought.

We know that Light sees the law enforcement system is morally good. But does he believe the system is good and it works, or does he believe the system is good but doesn't work?

Does he see himself as its necessary external defender, an entity that must be free from its confines, to prune off the bad branches of society that threaten it? Or does he see himself as a replacement for the system entirely, rendering it null and outdated?

I guess what I'm asking is, how self-aware is Light in realizing that, by believing that his actions are an improvement upon society, he implies that he doesn't have faith in the current system?

[ai-the-broccoli]

I DIDN'T NOTICE YOU RB'D THE DEATH NOTE ASK MEME uhhh. 23 and 24 maybe?

ooooh thanks!!!

23. what was your favorite moment and why?

"oooh that's a very hard question" ...is what I might've said, if this wasn't the light yagami animanga series and light yagami makes me insane. uhhh. I do have several though, if that's allowed.

(update: when I said "several" I meant uh. a lot apparently. whoops)

favourite line / favourite moment in a "holy wow this is amazing thematically": the. y'know. "Tell me, Light, from the moment you were born, have you ever told the truth?" line in the anime rain scene. yeah. holy fuck that is amazing because I LOVE that sort of thing. as far as character traits go, there's like nothing I love more than characters that are liars who lie lyingly (multiple types of this apply). it's truly, truly the best.

favourite moments based on what I repeatedly rewatched immediately following my first watch of the anime: there are, uh. three (in no particular order)

light goes home from the entrance ceremony, incredibly stone-faced (like 😐) the entire way -> gets home, gets up the stairs, opens the door, shuts the door, sits down on his chair, suddenly starts shaking -> blows up "Dammit! He got me! Damn L! I have never been so humiliated in my life!" (even Ryuk comments internally that he's never seen him lose his composure so much) -> suddenly laughs and calms down talking about how it's a battle of wits now and he'll make L trust him and kill him, with his own hands if necessary. i rewatched this several times in a row which was definitely very normal of me.

look at him. grumpy but in like an extremely restrained way (his face is even hidden). until it breaks completely in the next page lol

the last episode. light trying so hard not to laugh/smirk in the warehouse, then he reveals himself as kira (a lot of laughing), and he loses and falls pathetically, shouting for kiyomi and mikami and misa after matsuda shoots him, and then runs in the beautiful sunset, passing his younger high school self by, and seeing a vision of L before he dies on the stairs. all this is great and i did an immediate rewatch of this episode after finishing it

the Relight scene where Light laughs on top of L's grave soil. it's conceptually fucked up in an amazing way that really really appeals to me. murder and grave desecration are really romantic/beautiful/erotic on principle.

as you can see I am very normal. as you can see I am a very normal Light Yagami fan. one of those two statements may be unironically true, but the two statements inherently cannot go together. anyway this particular selection of scenes totally doesn't actually say anything about me right but anyway I'm right those are totally the best please torture light some more everyone

favourite moments I didn't immediately repeatedly rewatch/reread like that but are still my absolute top favourites:

The entire first episode because DAMN did it hook me completely very, very fast. I did NOT know there was going to be Faustian contract + god complex&general big ego + everything else in one in this little and very infamous character known as "Light Yagami". my expectations were blown instantly and I got obsessed with DN right away

L and Light declaring war on each other over the live broadcast and L asking and taunting Light/Kira to kill him. amazing. it was really... gay. sorry I can't think of a better word lmfao

L's death scene oh my god. GOD I loved (and was really really amazed/impressed by by) Light rushing to him at once and basically lying on top of him for a second, so that he will die in his arms. GOD. it is SO. like yeah this is literally my favourite sort of thing holy shit it is amazing (it's to gloat to him and to declare victory before his death, and it's to pretend to the Task Force too, and yet it seemed like such an instinctual reaction really that I think his first instinct really IS to hold him in his arms before he dies. this is really good). and the dramatic performance afterwards. I love it

on a COMPLETELY different note. JESUS CHRIST I love Soichiro's death scene actually. because holy fuck the multi-layered irony. I really love it. actually I think I wrote about that scene long before I even really wrote anything else about DN. alright here:

idk if I still 100% agree with my initial impression but it should still overall hold and MAN. I definitely loved it (<- fan of irony) (<- extremely, extremely normal Light Yagami fan) (<- fan of Soichiro also, to a lesser extent)

favourite moment that gave me a lot of thoughts when I'm reading the manga: (even though I already first watched the anime and this stuff is also in the anime)

the moment where Rem is like "okay I will kill L" and Light, person who has been plotting this exact murder for ages, is like. Oh shit. he'll die...? which is. man. Light sure is Light

like look at his face here!

favourite manga-exclusive moments:

Light not considering killing Sayu. Light asking Soichiro to promise him to come back alive with Sayu. that scene afterwards where Soichiro is at home thinking he should die. (at least I think those weren't in the anime?)

the manga ending is also good

I like that the manga tells us he lost weight and has nightmares due to using the death note. (it possibly has happened to anime light too but we don't get to see it)

not a "favorite moment" exactly, but while the scene is beautiful I don't like Misa dying in the end despite how much I adore everything else in that episode, so I like that Misa doesn't canonically die like that in the manga

favourite anime-exclusive moments:

rain scene and footwashing scene yes obviously

everything about Light being "haunted" after L's death. aside from the aforementioned Light dying scene, I really like the anime

I love the anime ending too

also hmm this might be a less popular opinion, but personally I also love some of anime Light's characterization tidbits that differs from the manga (e.g. first episode). I would say it's because it's maybe very slightly more relatable for me but that probably sounds wack lmao so

favourite moments based on how comedic I find them: (not including ones I already included in other sections) DN is such an amazing comedy I'm not even kidding

the whole handcuffs thing oh my god. homophobic misa moment. I didn't think she'd actually call him gay, but there it was. also just fken. buddy. L??????? why and how and in what world was there an absolute need for this totally normal, totally appropriate, absolutely most safe and most ideal method of interrogating criminals. I was laughing because god. that's not even. yeah okay I'm happy with it but LMFAO YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. and Light just easily went along with it

the... the... first date scene. I was like oh my god c'MON you two. I didn't think something like this would be so like this in the actual canon manga. first date where Misa is being thirdwheeled while Light and L sit together chained together and then they focus all energy on talking to each other and then they get into a fist fight (date activity) all over the room. combined with the later dunking on matsuda. this is LITERALLY how a fucking sitcom goes at this point.

the anime's footwashing also. not the scene itself necessarily but just the fact that it fucking exists between lawlight and is. Like THAT????? lmfao like what the hell

ALSO the. fken. Matsuda fake death scene lmfao it was so wack in retrospect

live Ryuk reactions + "hey Light can we play Mario Golf? can we play Mario Golf Light? come on let's play a match of Mario Golf"

man I can't even include all of it here because Light Yagami is so entertaining to me in 85%+ of all the scenes she appears in in one way or another like his existence itself is peak entertainment to me. it's entertaining when Light is humiliated and it's entertaining when he's succeeding. and like I mean, he's the protagonist of the whole manga / show, and I mean I can't list every moment in the series can I. lmao

favourite moments that don't have light yagami in it: I'm sorry everyone else but I am especially obsessed with light. as you can see. however I love many other characters too

Kiyomisa dinner kiyomisa fighting !!!

(technically this includes light but) matsuda shooting light

misa being unexpectedly smart (compared to her wider reputation) (the higuchi car scene! and others) is also nice

idk if it makes sense but. the scene where Rem and Misa mention the way a Shinigami can die, and Misa admits to thinking about killing Rem like it's. just very Neat. I like the vibes here and Misa is very beautiful (related to the dialogue about love and killing. yeah)

also!! I love the meronia moments

and then I recently got myself into soichello so actually yeah. the soichiro mello scenes too. very good

24. any headcanons you want to share?

uhhhhhhhhhhh hmmm. man what's a headcanon I haven't properly shared on tumblr before, and also isn't like a take that is shared and often discussed by tons of people around here already?

... fine okay let's do this finally.

neurodivergence + mental illnesses headcanons

[disclaimer: please read this post first. if you disagree, you can skip over this and skip to the next section!]

aside from OCD and autism, imo Light has NPD with some ASPD traits, and also bipolar. this is because the way his mental illnesses are is like. I feel represented lol. (not as in I have every one of those things I listed, but I probably have some/most of them, and the combinations are interesting). even though this is unfortunately Light Yagami. but I really like him for that too tbh because man. I don't get to see that stuff often. (like idk how to explain it. even though I'd never even remotely pull that kinda stuff because of differences in personalities, values, background, abilities, and manifestation and degree of symptoms, etc. however some of his mannerisms sometimes feel right on point e.g. I feel like the way he is like sometimes gives me depression + hypomanic/manic vibes, in a way where I can see myself in him if it makes sense lmao)

on that note Misa 100% very BPD I agree. I wanna say on top of autism, L also seems to have some ASPD traits imo. Near is autistic but I think that goes without saying lol. Mello has like... C-PTSD and/or NPD. and then this probably not a very unexpected take, but Matsuda has ADHD or audhd vibes. OH and! Soichiro also very much has OCD and autism, imo.

other headcanons:

not a hot take, but Mello and Near are both nonbinary and/or genderqueer (and/or otherwise trans, if not applicable) to me (could be transmasc or transfem, not necessarily transneutral; I could see either or any direction among those, although I would say I lean toward seeing Near as transfem and/or nonbinary, and Mello as transmasc and/or genderqueer).

Light is demi, and has had a covert superiority complex about not feeling attraction unlike his peers (like. you can view him deciding to use porn mag reading to prove himself as a normal teenage boy as indicative of his subconscious? mental association of his more "normal" peers as, like.... unfortunate horny perverts. in a way. if that makes sense) I know how it feels because I was kinda like this in grade 6-8

man I definitely have other ideas too but I'm drawing a blank at the moment partly because it's late and I still haven't eaten lunch lmao. I will continue to post my thoughts and headcanons in the future, so tune in by clicking on the subscribe butto- *gets shot*

ask game

[informl-onthings]

"I'm a bit shocked you're on here as well, L. I wouldn't think you were a social media person, after all, the hiding your identity and everything. Truly shocking to find you on here of all places."

- @ask-kirasuspect (ACK is this any good for him?? his personality is so hard to get right when writing him - misa)

“I was surprised at my decision as well, but I can’t bring myself to actively inform myself of things happening outside this case; as such, I’m using the internet as my helper.

And most of them know me as L anyway, giving myself a pseudonym would be useless, there are high chances they know your name, too. Be careful, who knows when chief Soichiro might come on here too; but that’s unlikely.”

-L.

[official-l]

Heyyy, L, um, how's things going?

@yagami-raito0

They are as they usually are. Why are you asking?

[ask-kira-suspect]

"Could you help me with an Ethics essay.."

(@official-minoru)

"Why should I? It'd be cheating, since I've already gone through all of it, and done it before."

"Besides, it's rather funny to see you fail if you do. It just shows how pathetic and imperfect you are."

[trashyshrew]

if ur still taking art requests (months late I am sorry) I'd love to see lawlight hugging! ur art is amazing u cook every time

lol it's all good i sometimes take months to respond. thank you very much for the request - hope this is alright 😅

[captainhysunstuff]

That anon ask has haunted me with visions of Light Yagami in the nun outfit.

Your ask has haunted me with the vision too:

Not sure if being a satanic nun is the best move to convince the task force of your innocence, Light...

A saucy extension below the cut:

...but a sexy satanic nun flashing some gartered thigh might be even more questionable! Well, no one's ever accused Light of being sane. I'm sure he could successfully rationalize his way into making this choice make sense in his goal of manipulating the task force (or at least L).

My reasons: I've seen too many sexy nun!Alastors, so Light has to channel that, too. XD

[marcmorrigan]

get him kira

also this version w/out the overlay bc i think it looks fine w/out it but yall know me. i cant resist slapping a gradient on stuff
