“Did I deserve that?”

       ‘  i am not a thing for you to seek solace in.  ’  their voice is softer than perhaps they intend, coated in the memories of a hundred lifetimes lived and yet lived. ‘  however —  ’  a pause, a shifting of ash and bones. ‘  all human beings deserve their death —when it comes. suffering is …  ’  another pause, this one punctuated by a flicker of their gaze toward the woman, the first time since this ordeal began they had done so. she reminds rem of someone —‘  what would you like me to say? that you are an exception to the rule?  ’  they lean forward, sickly face close to hers, no breath–no scent. ‘  i will not stoop to the level of a human and lie for comfort.  ’

also: i will only do plotted threads for obvious reasons. winging starters will inevitably kill me of boredom because there’s only like three things rem can say to any given character hgtkjhj

[remigami-blog]

as u can tell ive thought a lot about death note in the 11 years i’ve spent watching and rewatching and analyzing ghtkjhrktjh

[remigami-blog]

also

light put rem in a legit unwinnable situation with the whole L bullshit. if rem chose to write light’s name in the death note as opposed to L’s, they would still be, technically, using the death note to save another human’s life and would still die as a result.

what a piece of shit

[remigami-blog]

oh also

it’s sort of implied light actually becomes a shinigami after he dies in the second ReLight film after ryuk’s done telling his story to the other shinigami about light, he looks up at the sky--in the shinigami realm no less--and talks directly to light.

so if this is true, that means that all shinigami were human at one point. if this is true, there’s a shit ton of expanding on the world obata could do if he wanted to.

[remigami-blog]

y’all wanna know a fun bit of trivia?

after ryuk writes light’s name in the death note, his little heart earring is broken : ‘)

[remigami-blog]

i’ll put this in my rules proper but rem is nonbinary -- as is, presumably, the majority of shinigami. the only shinigami we know with any sort of pronouns are the shinigami king, ryuk, and gelus. it’s been a little while since i’ve rewatched / read the manga, but i don’t recall rem ever being referred to with she / her pronouns. if they are, cool, i’ll still write them as nonbinary and exclusively use they / them.

  disgusting. light yagami truly is . . . rem’s body hunkers over, looming, still, misa’s frame. a gentle hand reaches out to press against her cheek -- the sensation of human tears against their sandpaper-like skin is new. were they anything resembling human, they suppose it would be ... pleasant. ‘ is this not what you desire? -- from within the investigation, he can draw suspicion away from the two of you. ’ pause. ‘ as painful as it is now, misa, he will come back to you. ’ suddenly, then -- their body straightens, their presence frightening, real. ‘ he must. ’
