(Light sleeps incredibly well at night but if he sees some faceless passerby wearing a long-sleeved, plain white t-shirt and a pair of jeans walking by in the shadow of some streets, the inside of him cracks.)

For the belated 5th of November. I always have this thought about what Light would do when L was lying dead in a hospital bed. I think he’d kiss L. To taste victory, and perhaps to mock him. But then I think he’d taste nothing, and subsequently feel nothing. Then, he’d feel disappointed, because even when L died in his arms, it still wasn’t enough. And now, there’s no more of all that. (The anime graveyard scene rendered this quite nicely, Light feeling like it was not nearly enough. I really love that scene.)
Perhaps Light would have wanted to kill L with his own bare hands, or… something, something more.
Damn, in canon they were already this intimate. It must have been the time when he got the most mixed up emotions, like 40 emotions all at once, in his lifetime, apart from when Soichiro died. I wanted to draw more of this. I will definitely do it later.
finally got some time to finish these guys up! which is sort of ironic considering I started these because I wanted to draw Malleus with a Dragapult, and then I just didn't for a million years!
Malleus has the aforementioned Dragapult, except it's a super special non-canon color Dragapult (like an anime-only form that you could get in-game exclusively through some limited-time event where you have to show up in-person at a specific location in Japan) (it has some wacky overpowered exclusive move/form and the OT is listed as Malleus) (so like that kind of ridiculous specialness) (Leona is extremely salty about this). also hoards and hoards of Dreepy. Dreepy LOVE Malleus. they take naps on his horns inbetween begging him to throw them across the island at mach speeds.
Lilia has a Drampa and a bunch of Woobat that he hasn't actually caught, they just follow him around in swarms because they sense a kinship with him. (also breaking my own rule again to say that he had a Mawile in the past, because...I just really wanted to give him a Mawile...)
Sebek has Sandile for obvious reasons, and also a Pikachu that bullies him relentlessly. :(
Silver has a shiny Corvisquire; I really went back-and-forth on also giving him an Aegislash, but...hm. those pokedex entries though. he can stick with just one for now.
(I hadn't planned on the shiny for him, but after I'd decided on the Corvisquire line and was looking it up for reference, I realized that shiny Rookidee is gold and then turns silver when it evolves and I lost my entire goddamn mind)
