TUMBLR WHAT IS THIS
A LIGHTNING BOLT????
YOU TOOK MY CHILD
LOOK AT HIM. HE WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE ME EVERYDAY AND NOW HE'S DEAD. FUCK YOU TUMBLRR
Apparently yjh (helped) raise lgy while kdj was gone, I found out about this and began (artistically) vomiting all over my screen
I really like when these two interact. Especially their early-orv interactions. Lgy wanted desperately to dump ice down yjh’s shirt while yjh was trying to concoct plans to steal custody of lgy from kdj
You can love a character and still admit when they’re wrong. I love Armand but can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out for his actions (which are always correct).
if parks and rec was still being made they’d do a bit where ron swanson has to wear a pronouns name tag and it’d just be “???/???” And it’d cut to a talking head of him going
“I’ve been a fool all this time. It’s bad enough the government knows my name, but now they want to know my gender? So I’m not letting them know my preferred pronouns. As far as I’m concerned, no one in this building should refer to me at all.”

of course light yagami is the sum of the masks he wears and we all are etc etc but i love that to catch a glimpse to what lies behind them you have to read the manga with, like... a metaphorical pheripeal vision. you can't trust the way he behaves in front of other people. you can't trust what he says as kira. you can't trust what he says in the thought bubbles. yotsuba!light is somewhat genuine, but as that point he is in such a situation of costant pressure and so traumatized that i don't know how much of what he does or thinks helps us to understand how he felt when he decided to become kira. as a reader you just have to hope that at some point something doesn't add up. he catching himself after having complimented misa's drawing skills. he clutching the death note to his chest and sweating when thinking about how becoming kira could lead to him having to kill his own family and chapters later saying that he has never considered finding the death note a misfortune. he having to criticize kira in front of other people - saying to L that kira is a child; to matsuda that his justice will be superior only if he wins. is he lying, is the mask slipping; do we have to trust what he says to others, what he says to himself, what he thinks or how he behaves? and is such a pleasure to read a protagonist that only in the few scenes in which he contradicts himself gives you the margin to try to understand his inner world better
