Death note but everyone is wearing a skirt, inspired by @juicequeen21
I wanted to do more characters but got too lazy :p Maybe there will be a part 2
I find it really funny that he expected Ryuk to save him, especially since never even once tried to get the shinigami on his side
Y'all get sad when you watch Light's death scene?? Babes I watch his death scene when I need to cheer myself up. Feels like I'm getting vengeance for the love of my life L.
Also his death was better in the manga and by better I mean it showed his true personality (which as one YouTuber well put it -an immature child). Bro was crying and begging like a little bitch not to die and trying to convince Ryuk to kill everyone for him when he realized he'd lost and then basically told Ryuk to go fuck himself when he wouldn't do it.
In the end Light forgot that Ryuk was always just an amused spectator in this whole thing and was never really on Light's side. Light was not a hero so he didn't die like one.
Also just like narratively I love how Light spends the whole story being so smooth and smarmy and one step ahead of everyone only to go out like a little bitch.
Don't get me wrong, I love Light in the sense that he's a very well-written character but like he absolutely deserved what he got.
Updated version of yesterday’s piece
Might make a Misa and Light to match, we’ll see
"Call me by your name, and I'll call you by mine."
"Mello,"
"Near."
Thank you @user-null for drawing this, it's amazing <3
I can't stop thinking of a Death Note AU, where Near is an exchange student and travels overseas during the summer to stay in a small town in the countryside. He barely understands the language and has to rely on a local blonde-haired man (Mello) to communicate with him and show him around the place.
They spend the summer going from strangers to friends, to eventual lovers.
okay, was anybody going to tell me that takada/misa ship exists or was i just supposed to find out myself
pov its 2019 and ur boss is wearing a cat onesie to keep himself from joining his predecessor in hell the after life. what the fuck is happening (plz click images for SORT OF better quality)
Remake of a very old meme I made when I was 13 yo lol
If it didn’t before it does now. This is how I see it going:
Light and Sayu are not just close siblings, they are best friends.
Sayu adores her brother, she is his number one fan and will cheer him on no matter what. He is someone she would never have to worry about bothering because she knows she can come to him for anything. She can’t find it in herself to be jealous of her older brother for being smarter than her when he’s the one person who sees her as anything special.
Light adores his sister, but more than that, she is someone he can open up to. She is someone that he trusts enough and is comfortable enough with to show the parts of himself that he doesn’t let anybody else see, and know that she wouldn’t think any less of him for it.
So when he finds the death note and is struck by the realisation that he killed two people, he immediately goes to Sayu. She is there for him as he spirals into feeling like he has to use the notebook to get rid of all evil. She comforts him and sympathises with him, she knows her brother and why he feels like he has to twist the narrative. But she also talks him out of it.
Her brother is the best person in the world in her eyes, but unlike everyone else seems to, she knows he isn’t perfect and it’s her job to talk him out of crazy ideas that wouldn’t lead to anything good.
I’ve seen Sayu Is Kira AU and Sayu Helps Light Be Kira AU but what about Sayu Stops Light Before He Becomes Kira AU??
Death Note AU where L gets hit really hard on the head just before the Yotsuba Arc, gets amnesia, and has to effectively bullshit his way through the whole thing not telling anyone he doesn't remember anything that happened recently
Biblically accurate kira
Death note au based on that one tumblr post about a necromancer who brings back a serial killer’s victims where L discovers that Matsuda is a necromancer and has him bring back some of Kira’s victims just to see Light freak out.
Included in the people brought back is Naomi Misora. She confirms that Light is Kira but they can’t just say they brought her back to life, so she joins the task force and pretends she never died in order to get more concrete evidence on Light. Light is freaking out and trying to figure out a way to convince everyone that she’s a fake because he knows she has to be a fake, but he can’t explain why without admitting that he was the one that killed her.
This probably culminates in Light having Rem kill Watari and L, and Matsuda bringing them back the next day, which shatters the last piece of sanity Light had.
the urge to redesign ryuk to be like a massive monster from the depths of hell is so constant bc like could u imagine how much funnier death note would be if it was abt a teenager in his room plotting murder while his massive multi eyed sharp toothed unnaturally angled limbed hellspawn just went “hey light do u wanna play mariokart”
I love getting AO3 comments bc there’s not enough context in the world for this
i believe in beysora (?) supremacy _ p.s. what’s the name of this ship?
most valid character in death note is that one college girl who keeps insisting that L is hotter than light
I’ve seen Sayu Is Kira AU and Sayu Helps Light Be Kira AU but what about Sayu Stops Light Before He Becomes Kira AU??
It’s canon Misa can draw really well. So all I’m thinking about is Misa drawing Rem after her death and when she loses her memory she doesn’t understand why she has so many drawings of the same monster. But she continues to draw her anyway because it gives her comfort
This would explain so much actually. Why else would he let a 14 year old just leave?
as I'm writing Mazzaroth, and important to keep in mind: A and B are older than L to me, I'm just thinking... What if Roger became non confrontational and passive after A's death? What if he used to be quite strict in the past, but then he felt responsible that a kid he had in care died and thought that if he had been more lenient, that wouldn't have happened? I know how the majority of the fandom views Roger, Watari and the Wammy's, that is quite different from my own (made a 8k words post about that, so I can't really summarise it). But I just want a serious conversation about these characters, without people jumping immediately to the extreme (the death note fandom does it so often, it's actually headache inducing) and say that they are basically monsters devoid of any human emotion. In my headcanons about A, I also imagine that he first tried to escape, before B (and others, Roger and Watari included) managed to find him and bring him back, so when Mello decided to leave the Wammy's, Roger felt like he couldn't impose his authority, because... What if he reacted like A?
deathnote but it takes place in 2022 and Matt leaks all the details of the Kira case to his discord kittens
plot twist one of his kittens is just near in disguise spying on mello
I love the Light Grows Up In Wammy's House premises but I also think I love it in a very different way than most people do
Like I don't see it as a Childhood Friends/Rivals™ trope for Lawlight, I very much see it as Light growing up being told that there's someone better than him, someone he must not only surpass, but become—and I think he does the opposite of what BB does. He starts to hate L not because of anything L actually did (because they wouldn't have met) but because everyone keeps implying that L is better than him when Light KNOWS that he's the superior one. Beyond finds out that L is addicted to sweets and immediately changes his diet to include cakes and candies, while Light immediately wipes everything sweet from his mental list of desired foods.
He is perfectly polite, he's the baby of the group, and he can do no wrong in every other aspect of life except for the fact that he vehemently doesn't want to take L's place no matter how hard they push him. He wants to become his own sort of detective on his own merit, and he'll be damned if he has to use L's name while he does it. If he solves any cases it's anonymously, under a pseudonym.
And if he ever meets L, they won't be friends. But that vaguely disconcerting teen/man that sometimes sits in the corners of rooms and talks to no one is very interested in what Light has to say, no matter what it is, and seems to both enjoy it when Light talks shit about L and yet is still somehow annoyed by it. They get into heated arguments and he'll steal Light's things and pull his hair and mess up his clothes no matter how many times the caretakers chastise him for it (though even that happens surprisingly rarely). Light would stop talking to him entirely if he wasn't his only hope of getting out of Wammy's little genius factory both physically and mentally intact.
Light makes plans to run away and runs them by the broody teenager he's tolerated, who helps him pick out any holes in his plans, but somehow the staff always seem to catch Light before he can escape. It happens so often that Light even begins to think that someone's snitching on him, but he's only ever told one other person, and he wouldn't care enough to stop Light from leaving....
Would he?
Or, alternatively, Light never meets that stranger in the corner. Instead, Watari happily sternly informs him that L has personally selected Light to help him on cases. Isn't that great? Isn't it an honor? A and B are practically roiling with jealousy, Light should be grateful.
But Light is not grateful. He takes the news with a big ole fake smile, and silently plots L's mysterious disappearance before he's even come face to face with the man. He wants to make it on his own, he doesn't want to be reliant on L's name and Wammy's money and generosity forever, and he loathes the fact that he's been metaphorically chained to L's title in all the ways he didn't want to be.
A tiny Light, accompanying a teenage L places and becoming his face (both because L is petty and because he thinks its funny when police are introduced to a little kid as their Consulting Detective) around the world, all while they throw vicious barbs back and forth and spend quiet Christmases together and throw each other under the bus for fuckups and try foreign cuisines together and struggle to keep (L)/gain (Light) the power and ground they both don't even actually want.
L gives Light all the cases he doesn't want, like he's doing him a favor, and Light regularly calls A and B to smack talk L behind his back and turn the rest of his successors against him.
I can even imagine some amalgamation of both of these scenarios happening, or even eight more vaguely like them in the vein of L and Light being both completely antagonistic towards each other while also simultaneously growing so codependent that they can't stand not knowing what the other one is doing at any point in the day and also get absurdly jealous whenever anyone else even speaks to them.
Or EVEN a scenario where L doesn't pay attention to Light at all until he's grown and out in the world on his own. Light makes a quick name for himself, decidedly divorced from Wammy's influence, and eventually meets L on accident through a case L is working on, wherein L becomes intrigued with him and looks into his history only to find that he's a Wammy kid and L goes "Oh. You're one of mine."
To which Light takes decidedly poorly given that the claim both riles and razes Things™ in him because growing up with the vaguest desires to be like the man in front of you even though you loathe him and those desires were quickly squashed and never thought of willingly or voiced aloud leaves behind both the intense need to alienate yourself from said man entirely and to get close enough to become better than him for all to see and witness—only for Light to find that he can't alienate himself completely from L anymore because L decidedly won't let him and he can never quite seem to surpass him either because L is constantly nipping at his heels, echoing his thoughts with brilliant deductions of his own, and it turns out that trying to intellectually sprint past someone who only starts running when YOU do and has a distinct headstart is harder than it looks.
Nothing can ever make anyone too busy to find out what nightcore is >:
if the kira case didn’t happen near would have had a nightcore emo phase
Well, drawing a Death Note Pokémon AU sure as fuck ain't paying the bills but I'd be lying if I said It doesnt feel good lol.
I have no idea where this came from. Honestly, I took Adderall to clean my room, and this happened instead, but i hope someone besides me finds this entertaining, lol.
I had a whole plot in my head but forgot it already. All I got is Near is from Lavender Town, but strangely, no one else in town has ever seen or heard of him. Guess just another one of Lavender town's ghost stories...kinda weird how kids toys keep popping up on the gravestones, tho.
Bonus: Espurr was his first pokemon. He never goes inside his pokeball, and he has an insatiable hunger for violence.
This was too much fun, and I'm already in the middle of drawing Mello, so I'm hoping I can post it later today. Feel free to let me know what you guys think or if you have any ideas!
Also, work and life have had me in a chokehold for the last couple of months, so I'm sorry to everyone on here I ghosted. I'm hoping to message people back later tonight and maybe even post more headcanons, but in the meantime whatcha guys think Near would name his Espurr?
Mello: Haha, look at this loser. He wears the same clothes every day. Near: Wow, I didn't realize that you were so into me that you paid attention to my outfit every day. Mello: What? No. I'm not into you. Near: With my eyes closed, I can't even remember what I saw you wearing three seconds ago, because I don't care. Mello: Well, ah, no, I, I don't care either. Near: Then why would you remember what I wear every day? Are you obsessed with me? Can you not stop thinking about me? Are you in love with me? Mello: Stop bullying me. I feel bullied.

Why would the Kira case have stopped him?
if the kira case didn’t happen near would have had a nightcore emo phase
I finally finished the lineart! (Please ignore the messed up hands. I’ll fix it when I figure out how)
