#now this one IS true rambling

One of my favorite things about death note is each time you watch it you gain another Stage of understanding. It's such a fun show to think about, and although it probably wasn't planned how you were analyzing it (purportedly written guided by the rule of cool, which is so, so hard to believe if you've spent more than a minute thinking about it. HOW is it so good. It's not even a Supernatural situation, where you have to web-weave individual frames to make it compelling. Death Note, if you watch/read it the first time without preconceived notions about the author, not only is compelling, but the arcs seem well constructed with both narrative and thematic weight. It's only at the end where things begin to fall apart, and even there if you look hard enough, explanations are there (Mikami was controlled by the death note, etc)).

I forgot what I was going to say. Post changed, this is now about how fundamentally Death Note's biggest problem is that nothing was intended how it was taken because it yeah, it's deserving of modern classic status, but only if you have good reading comprehension and zero respect for the author's intended vision.

In my opinion, this really isn't a problem, I just wish I saw a larger volume of analysis, like I used to back in 2010-2016-ish. One can say every aspect has been discussed to death, but the problem is, a lot of the analysis was really stupid because we were all 12 at the time (not really, but man, going on the internet and reading all that...I was disappointed and I was in my young teens). SOME of it was great, and my perspectives have changed so much since I got into this fandom, so I'd like to read everyone's thoughts again and see what I think.

Because the thing is: Death Note asks some complex questions that one can have a completely different perspective on within the space of a year.

I like Death Note for the same reasons as when I was twelve (the unhinged logic that would not stand up in court (and the characters know this), the characters themselves, the general structure being original and creative, the tragedy of it, the ways you can MAKE it into a comedy given the sheer absurdity of certain aspects even though in context it might seem either normal or heartbreaking, the questions you ask while you watch it and how it makes you think about the narrative, etc) but I have completely different opinions on every theme it explores and moral question it poses.

BREAKING NEWS! Youngest Wayne's Secret Lovechild?!

Teenage Ellie taking care of deaged Danny and moving to Gotham to hide from Vlad because Lady Gotham offered them sanctuary and will keep Vlad out.

BUT

Chaos is set into motion when during a Rogue attack, Damian Wayne (not as Robin at the moment) saves him and returns Danny to Ellie...

The internet/news happen because of course it did.

And people mistake Danny as his kid and Ellie his baby mama.

Wait hehe.

Modern au where Eddie has a decent following in social media and is known as both a guy who does ttrpg with a few friends and does cool metal covers of different song genres. He's weird, sure, and will also post two minute video monologues but it's done while camera is mildly unfocused on a worm on the wet pavement, or he'll rant about prog rock and then two minutes later go "I'm sorry my statements on Keith Emmerson were inappropriate and I guess" *pauses and looks off camera* "he totally deserves to be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame" like it's a hostage video and someone made him say it because he looks like he's having a terrible time about it.

Anyways he's an internet funny little man and one day he posts a tiktok or what have you labeled "tfw ur bf is sitting in his platonic soulmate's lap instead of yours" and it's just of Steve sitting sideways across Robin's lap on someone's couch chatting and smiling with her before turning to Eddie and giving a little finger wave.

This is of course met with internet hullabaloo because is that Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley? Famous indie music duo who are also starring in a popular new tv series? Social media weirdos? Beloved and popular and bizarre and memeable? Queer icons RobinandSteve? Was Eddie serious? He was dating thee Steve Harrington?

An hour later Robin tags Eddie in a post that is a video obviously taken from slightly under Steve as the angles are a bit weird, and Eddie can be heard saying "oh my god how could I have forgotten you're, like, really famous how'd I do that Steve! Babe, Stop laughing! It was supposed to be a silly relatable post! You're no better Buckley-hey why are you filming this? My mortification isn't funny!!" While the video is just shaking of Steve curling in on himself and Robin trying to focus on Eddie and you can hear them both cackling over Eddie talking. She captions it "tfw ur QPP's bf forgets you two are famous and that most ppl don't know they're dating. Or didn't, at least"

i think a lot of the soulless clover revival fics that make them start to kill in the very first reset does not give clover (or flowey) nearly enough credit

i'm relieved that my spouse loves giving lectures on how things work, because I'm bring a sort of "it's not my job to educate you" vibe to raising small children that my coparents don't really like

”Damn I’ve been feeling kind of shitty about what I went through when I was 15-16. I wonder if there’s a way to get all these feelings out besides therapy”

do you think ella blames herself for justine and lucy's deaths? do you think she wishes she just said something earlier so they could have run away before stepmother woke? or that she just sent them away at the start?
