When you've been in the fandom for a super long time sometimes it's hard to remember what stuff is in canon and what isn't. Like sometimes I forget how VAGUE L's background really was in the manga initially. We weren't ever even told in the manga if he was actually an orphan or raised by Watari from childhood on (that was mostly just implied by the existence of Wammy's and then fleshed out more in things like the anime and the one-shots that came later on). Going by the manga alone Watari honestly could've also been just some guy that L hired once he was already an adult

#and i know i can be a stickler for canon a lot #but sometimes i remember this and think it's actually cool when i see people who are newer to it come up with other ideas and theories #that could be just as plausible but just havent been widely thought of or agreed upon by the fandom or authors as the truth #also im not trying to offend by saying this to anybody attached to that backstory i just think its fun to realize #there are many potential possibilities for plausible backstories for L #one of my fave writers in the fandom would often change up the characters like L and B's backstories frequently #between one fic and the next #and i always enjoyed and admired seeing how all the different backstories could still seem plausible and right #l lawliet #watari #p
