people talk about yakuza being zany, and, i mean, they're not wrong, exactly, but that kind of gives the impression that the games are zany for zaniness's sake, and that's not quite right. like, yagami is currently on a date with a woman in a city mascot costume, so i'm walking around the city holding hands with a giant lop-eared rabbit, but she's dressed like that because she's debilitatingly awkward and can't make conversation without the mask between us. so it's very surface level wacky, and then kind of sad and lonely a little bit below that, and then warmly empathetic below that. which is true for so much of these games. even the Horny Men of yakuza 0—who are constantly gyrating middle aged dudes in tighty whities—have a similar arc. they're very very goofy on the surface, and then you keep talking to them and they very lightly bully kiryu and majima into opening up about their sexuality, and then by the end you've found a connection and realized the humanity you share even with these broad cartoons. that sort of connection underscores so much of the goofiest things in these games, and it's one of the series' absolute strengths. without that unshakeable belief in humanity regardless of its affect, these games would very swiftly devolve into the same style of empty gross cynicism that makes the GTA games impossible to engage with earnestly.

death note au where everythings the same except Light calls the death note his 'burn book' and uses a larger variety of deaths like getting hit by a buss.
Misa asks "are you referencing mean girls?" and Light in all his closeted shame goes "the fuck is mean girls?" knowing damn well he used to twirl his hair and kick his feet, writing in his pink fluffy diary about his phd level analysis of Mean girls when he was 11.

AU where Soichirou is actually home when Light gets back from confirming the Death Note is real and Light cracks and tells him everything and has a complete melt down, is institutionalized or shut up into his room or something tortured genius style. Soichirou, after also making his own confirmation, turns the notebook in, and

Light's concerns turn out to become very, very real. BRB, I'm Patient Zeroing Light Yagami.

also kiyomi and misa are still feuding in the high school AU (probably over light but it'd be really funny if it was something else, like misa playing tiktoks out loud) and this culminates in a plotline where kiyomi runs for president of the student council and misa decides to run against her because kiyomi will obviously be a horrible president and make their dress code even stricter and misa can't allow this to happen (no kiyo-chan it's not "petty" or "immature" misa is making a STAND for JUSTICE) (what do you mean "commitments to the electorate" you're making up words). she makes campaign posters with rem. light refuses to take a side which makes both kiyomi and misa mad at him. halfway through misa realizes that there is no way she's pulling this off without some good old election fraud so she starts trying to hack into the school database. unfortunately misa does not have any actual hacking skills; fortunately she is very familiar with the dark web and in the process accidentally stumbles on evidence that the principal has been accepting bribes from rich parents to boost their kids' grades. her immediate glee turns into soul crushing rage when she realizes kiyomi is not on the list of kids being boosted and she complains about it to light who is like HOLY SHIT MISA WE HAVE TO LEAK THIS TO THE NEWS IMMEDIATELY

Light's end has always bothered me for multiple reasons (the biggest of which is it not actually being his fault that he lost therefore robbing me of a greater poetic justice but you can't win 'em all), but I think one nobody really talks about is that,,,Light wasn't afraid to die.
Well—he WAS, at the beginning, but part of the reason I'm so obsessed with his relationship with Ryuk is because Ryuk's existence was a constant threat to Light's life. And yet Light never once seemed afraid of him, or tried to cozy up to him, or even attempted manipulate Ryuk into doing things for him. Sure, he bribed him sometimes into going along with his plans, but he was friends with Ryuk. Or—as close to friends as I assume a Light Yagami and a Shinigami can get.
But before Light meets Ryuk, he 100% believes that he's going to die. His frenzy those first few days can be attributed not to any moral righteousness, but to a desperate sort of resignation. Light thinks that he's sold his soul after killing those first two men, so instead of destroying the Death Note, he immediately sets out to make as big of an impact as possible. He wants to go out with a bang! He wants to be remembered! Light is afraid of death in those first days—but he also comes to terms with it somewhere between killing Otoharada and Ryuk showing up. He was ready to go with Ryuk quietly if he was there to take his life or his soul.
But then—he learns that he's not going to die.

The face of a boy excited and relieved.
Light learns that there are no consequences to using the Death Note.
THIS is when he starts getting cocky, when he starts to actually convince himself of all that moral stuff he spouts.
But he's still not afraid of death.
Oh he's afraid of being caught, for sure, and after L humiliated him on live television, he might've even been afraid of execution. Because he'd seen firsthand just how quickly L could turn the tables on him, how he could make Kira look foolish. And Light definitely does not want to be remembered as foolish.
I don't think Light was afraid of actually DYING though, because when Ryuk says "You know I could just kill you", Light laughs. Literally laughing in the face of death. Light KNOWS that Ryuk will eventually kill him, but as long as he goes down the way he wants—on HIS terms—it's fine. Ryuk claiming that he'd be the one to finally end Light might've even been a relief, considering how Light's mind works. A god can only be killed by another god, etc. etc. 'Killed By A Real-life Shinigami' sounds metal as FUCK. Top-tier way to die if you're as much of a gloryhound as Light.
And one thing that irks me is that—the five year gap kind of,,,,takes that, from Light. Light spends so long on top of the world with no real challenge that by the time that Near and Mello show up, he's far more arrogant than he was when he was up against L. Light is, once more, afraid of death. He's lost that tolerance he built up in those pivotal first few days, and he goes out, not in a blaze of glory like he wanted, but clawing and pleading to live like a dog.
Light lost his recklessness, his impatience, his acceptance of the inevitable because he believed that he could now change the inevitable—all somewhere in that five year time skip.
This makes him less likely to get caught, yes, but it also takes away that—that teenage dauntlessness that he had at the beginning. Pre-skip Light feared L and L alone. Only the idea of being caught by someone who could truly tear him down frightened him. Not even death compared.
And I suppose that Light's spiralling at the end is a sort of poetic justice in this case?? But it's not the one I wanted.
I wanted Light's recklessness to blow up in his face. I wanted his carefully curated plans ruined by his own impatient hand. I wanted him to go down much as he probably first intended—in a blaze of glory. I wanted his fall to be explosive and terrifying to the audience. A moral of the story that shoots you right in the chest and really makes you think.
Instead he was reduced to just,,,,another criminal, begging for his life.
Which, yes, I suppose, is also a message in and of itself (all evil figures throughout history have only ever been human, have only ever been men that bleed red at the end of the day, and nothing they've ever done or said will change that), but I also find that....exceedingly boring.

I’ve mentioned in my Ambivalent Souls infodump but I have a crack au that just inserts those OCs into the story of Death Note.
Hare is Light, Zerie is L, Midnight is Misa, Thirio is Ryuk, Attakai is Rem, Maroon is Near, and Feil is Mello.
I’ve drawn… a lot in a short amount of time. Haha. Whoops.
The au follows the main story of Death Note (the show) with some slight characterization changes. If you wanna ask me about it, my inbox is open!

I regret reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Ever since I read it, I've been seeing it in EVERY fictional media I enjoy. Death Note? Light Yagami / Kira. The Owl House? Eda / The Owl beast. Naruto? Jinchuriki with their tailed beasts. F** DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED??? Yellow guy. EVERYTHING has a Mr. Hyde, and I can never stop thinking about it now.
