Sooooo.....this will be next episode right?

The idea that Light's inital use of the death note, fully under the impression that a shinigami would kill him, being an inavertant suicide attempt does something to my brain.

I don't think Light was suicidal, or even depressed in a way he would recognize. It was mostly just apathy mixed with being unable to relate to his peers. He had a bright future ahead of him, but he didn't even think about it that much. With his nearly effortless high scores and his father's rank in the NPA, his life was already kind of set for him. And it was boring.

Of course, he didn't even believe the death note was real at first. After confirming its legitimacy his thoughts may have started out like "If I'm gonna die I might as well take out a few bad guys/try to make the world better before I go" and proceeding to write hundreds of names within 5 days. As a result of his father/upbringing of being taught right and wrong, his boredom and lack of any real challenge in his life leaves him to exaggerate these ideas to extremes.

And then when he finally meets Ryuk and learns he isn't going to die right there kind of sets him off. Like he almost believes he cheated death, and that only fuels his growing god-complex. Light's thoughts morphing from "I'm gonna try to make the world better before I die" to "Wait. I DIDN'T DIE. There's no trying, I WILL create my perfect world. Pfft, I wasn't scared for my life, I'm not like the OTHER death note users... I'm very cool and methodical I swear I'm just like you shinigamis. I'm basically a god now too uhahaha."

Like he believes that to be his near death experience and now he's just like, fuck it I might as well go all the way. I don't care anymore (more like he finally gets to care about something and is presented with the challenge of being. a mass murderer. which is so new and not boring. this is the high he didn't even know he was looking for)

I just read Phantom of the Opera today (By Gaston Leroux) and I feel really weird trying to engage with the online content because the book is my only reference for the story but I know the phantom is changed to be a proper romantic option in the musical/movie while in the book he is literally the toxic asshole to say he is going to kill himself if you break up with him. Except he is also gonna blow up an opera house and kill everyone else too.

So keep being taken aback by seeing so many people be like "Christine should have chosen the Phantom" "The Phantom was so romantic" because i am just here like "YOU MEAN THE DERANGED ABUSIVE MURDERER MAN?!?!" "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?!?!?"

Hey if you're a white person (as I am too!) and reading the stuff about End OTW Racism (@end-otw-racism) is making you uncomfortable CONGRATULATIONS THATS THE POINT bipoc have been uncomfortable in fandom for decades and some of yall can't face being uncomfortable for five seconds and still have the gall to have shit like BLM in your descriptions.

Put your money where your mouth is. Be uncomfortable. Actually read what they're talking about and what changes they're proposing instead of jumping right to BuT wHaT aBoUt My DaRk FiC (they want to protect your dark fic and help ensure you're safer from harassment over it!)and ThEy'Re PrO-cEnSoRsHiP (they are explicitly not).

I'm so fucking tired of having my posts and those I reblog on this topic largely ignored on my personal account, but ESPECIALLY I'm furious about how ignored posts on racism in fandom are when I put them on the danmei art sideblogs.

I see racism every single fucking DAY as part of running those accounts. This isn't some nebulous thing happening elsewhere, this is us!

If you don't care, I really need you to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself WHY DONT I CARE?

Because YOU SHOULD FUCKING CARE.

im not gonna lie - the bonus comics/chapters in the summer hikaru died are unironically some of the best content of the entire manga.

like there's this scene where "hikaru" is counting all of yoshiki's moles and he even knows there's one on the inside of yoshiki's lip somehow??? but honestly... just how much was hikaru studying that boy's face so that he knew where they all were? like was he just sitting there, sneaking glances whenever he could, memorizing each and every one of them? he even named a constellation after them because it reminded him of their pattern on yoshiki's face. we know yoshiki is extremely insecure about them but here hikaru is... reverently seeing them in the stars, telling yoshiki he thinks that boy is handsome and shouldn't hide his face.

i can't get enough of these two-

I just had a riveting discussion with a self proclaimed anarcho-capitalist at work, whose opinions included:

Tipping is bad because 'contracts with your employer are voluntary and they can leave if they're not paid enough.' He will still tip if he thinks his wife is watching

If you're stuck inside a torture chamber with an apple you can bite every ten seconds that sends you to paradise for a year, it is illogical to bite the apple and humanity is broken for thinking so

The ending to the good place was bad because the characters weren't being logical and there was so much shit you can do with the afterlife.

The marxist labor theory of value 'isn't true' because paintings have arbitrary value

Heidegger was an idiot

Kant was an idiot

Nietzche was an idiot

He is an anarcho-capitalist

If I don't have 100% certainty for something than I can't truly say that I know something is true, and isn't it illogical that people do that?

I have to see this man every Monday from now until I quit. We work one on one.

Well at the tender age of 27 and the tender hour of 1am I have had my first ever nosebleed

I hope The Spot gets to die as a himself like pre-powers. It’s likely he’s gonna destroy himself trying to destroy Spider-man (I think he’s gonna for the mythos of the hero not just Miles, if the flash forward is any prediction) cause he’s either not gonna be able to handle the full effects of his abilities it and needs to be saved but it’s too late for him or does some not fully redeeming sacrifice as he realizes he didn’t have to resort to villainy and doesn’t want to go out with people fearing him rather than respecting.

It’d make the point that anyone can be Spider-man under the mask string as it’d point out that depending on circumstances anyone could become anything. In this case none of them would know The Spot personally or even in passing as Johnathan Ohnn, so seeing a complete stranger, someone who could of been anyone, defeated at the end of the battle would invoke a lot with the random chance and fate that comes along with being Spider-man if not just going through life rather than the adherence to canon events that is trying to be pushed on characters.

I feel like giving the Spot his face back would just make the climax feel more complete, an odd commentary on being true to oneself even if it is past your time.

Crazy humans are weird idea I just had while I was brushing my teeth. Okay, so what if our world is the only one where people and animals are designed to be able to create and communicate with sound? Not that the other alien species can't hear or make sound at all, if they step on a twig it still snaps, if they clap their hands it still makes a sound, their breathing can still be audible, and a stampede of elephant-equivalents will still make a thunderous stampede noise you'd need to be able to feel and hear, but what if none of them have vocal cords? What if the closest they can get is a sort of hoarse screech of unconventionally forceful breathing? What if we're the only ones with speech and birdsong?

Alien species communicate through tap-stomp dancing and facial expressions and sign/body language and rhythmic drumbeat patterns and little handpats on whatever surface is available (including themselves).

Nothing could have prepared them for our thousands of languages, the sheer volume we're just effortlessly capable of, the precision and variety and eloquence in the sounds we can produce. The apparent cacophony of birdsong and crickets chirping and cats meowing and lions roaring and dogs barking and whalesong, and just all the vastly different sounds everything on our planet can make. The musical instruments which aren't just percussion and string, but also wind instruments.

Just- what if we were the only ones with speech?

If I were more creative and less tired right now I'd write a mini-fic thing, if anyone sees this and somehow gains that kind of inspiration, PLEASE do, I'd be honored, thank you.
