Maybe Not Exactly What You Meant There, BUT-

It's a unique type of frustration when you agree that a character is deeply flawed but other people keep missing what's actually wrong with them and assigning them new flaws that they don't even have it's like free my man he did none of that. He did a bunch of other shit tho.

i was on a "thinking about ryuk" kick earlier and. i get the appeal of saying he's the only one who sees light in his entirety — it makes perfect sense, he's the one who light monologues to about his grand plans, he's the one who light stays with practically 24/7 for five years — but i don't think it's completely true?

ryuk to me has this tendency to assume that light is straightforwardly malicious (see: he thinks light was lying when light says he'll avenge his father if soichiro ever gets killed by kira, he doesn't really get why light wants to do things like reveal his location to L until light explains he wants to eliminate L entirely, he takes the "i wish i had wings" thing seriously as though it's supposed to be part of light's Master Plan instead of a little quirk that light was clearly feeling vulnerable about, he's surprised when light isn't willing to kill sayu in the second arc). like there's real fondness for light in there as well, he congratulates light for getting into college for instance, but i don't really feel like ryuk has ever. understood him fully. he's trying, he gets better at it over time, but he does have a bias.

and i think, also, that this is because ryuk has another tendency to assume that light is just like him.

which makes sense, because light is the one who offers up "i was bored, too" as a genuine point of commonality between them. and then ryuk jumps to "you know, you'd make a really good shinigami!" and "hey light do you want the eyes" and then at the end "we eased each other's boredom for quite a while." he does notice when light is acting weird and tries to adjust his viewpoint (he goes ! when light starts doing his "i've never been so humiliated in my whole life" thing) but given that he only figures out light genuinely cares for his sister when he refuses to sacrifice her, after five years of watching this whole family dynamic, i don't think he ever actually gets there.

which is. sad. it's really goddamn sad. you know you're really fucked when even the demon haunting you can't figure you out

happy birthday light yagami. i’ve been dissecting your brain with a fork for over 3 years now and i still find something new about you to obsess over everyday it’s not funny.

oh ! if you’re still doing drawing requests then may i ask for silly moonriver ? they’re so so silly

they are making faces at each other in the mirror bc light refused to agree that Cars 2 was a good movie

y’all ever see a piece of fan content about your favorite character that is so horrifically different from what you personally believe and you just

Edit: forgot to give context about “Chat Noir scaring Ladybug” LMAO Just to clarify, I meant when he scared her in Truth (he’s so cute🥺🥺💖💖💖love my cat boy son😭😭💖💖💖)

L is risking his life right now

The way that Gabriel is responsible for this is so ironic.

Good morning, Ryuzaki

“he’s a murderer” to YOU. well to me too but i forgive him<3
