One would think I'd pick the obvious, but how about for a twist: Death Note!

Send me a fandom // HAHAHAA OH BOY

The first character I first fell in love with: God, I can't remember if it was Rem or if it was Mello. It was one of the two, I know that. They're my darlings. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: That's a tough one because it's either Misora or it's Near, because both really grew on me with time. Misora had the Death Note: Another Note book which really paid ode to her character brilliantly, and made you feel that lurch in your gut when she gets axed off, as well as feel very angry with her making rookie mistakes which led to that. In the anime, it was pretty damn cool to see a female detective on the scene, so I immediately liked that! But it was really the book that sold me on her character. She's a skeptical, cautious and intellectual individual who had a really cool plot line. She's not peppy, she's not cheery, she's very serious and absolutely no nonsense, and seeing that work with the weird dude ( won't spoil who if you haven't read it ) she gets partnered up with in the book was a lot of fun. Near, meanwhile, was a real slowburn for me. It had more to do with me going back to watch the series years later with a different appreciation for characterization, and being able to look deeper into who he is. When I was younger, I thought he was very boring and I was very upset he replaced Mello. Now... Well I'm still upset he replaced Mello because I really love that wild blond guy and I could talk about him for ages, BUT that's not related. Point is, now I actually do like him and I think he's a good character.

I actually read the manga ( never finished ), and that's what the clincher was. The anime portrayed him to be more monotoned, expressionless, and that discredited him very much in my opinion. The manga, meanwhile, showed him to be more emotive, and had a further display of who he is. He's got a mischievous side to him, a playful one! You can see the hurtful impact the death of his team had on him, and that little smile he has is so cute. It's literally "c:" and that is just Adorable.

I never expected these two to grow on me but they really did. Misora was first ages ago, and Near was sometime last year, I think? Or year before that. Time is weird. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: i will stomp light to death with my hooves. The character I love that everyone else hates: Misa! Like Lizzie, thankfully the sexism has died down a little bit so she's not nearly so vehemently hated like she used to be. Personally, I think there was a lot of untapped potential in her that I wish got more attention, but the series really fixated on painting her terribly. She's a woman who has one hell of a lifespan thanks to not one, but two Shinigami giving their life for her and adding their unnatural lifespan onto hers. She found Light out before anyone else thanks to some maneuvering and disguising on her end.... and she's a yandere. What's not to love. I love yanderes. Every time I talk about DN, I just gotta rave about the fact that she alone could have taken on L and it would have been really interesting to watch, not to mention really fun! I love her so much. On a lower level, it has to be Sidoh because that dude was the only one with common sense to get in, get his shit  and get out and no one liked him because he was uglee. Wish there was more time with him and Mello. Loved that the tiny intense blond man gave him the willies. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Matsuda is hot and cold for me. Sometimes I like the guy, sometimes I'm like, "yeah but you cheered on light for cheating on misa so :\" The character I would totally smooch: I'd have to give Rem a peck on the cheek, absolutely. Rem and Misa both. The character I’d want to be like: 😬 🙅‍♀️ N/A. The character I’d slap: i will slap light to death with my hooves. A pairing that I love: ReMisa!! I have a massive soft spot for that pairing and I have for years!! They hurt me with the WHAT IF so bad. What if we had a forbidden Shinigami-Human love, huh?? What if we got to see them really work together at tackling the injustices of the world and overthrowing a massive force that's honed in on them, threatening to wipe one of them out - one that they enter a game of manipulation with! What if we got to see them explore their unique romance that no one else can relate to! What if we got to explore Misa's morals and see why it is Rem is so in love with this dangerous, dark and peppy wom.. .. .. .. .. huh, you know what that kind of ship dynamic is almost sounding familiar. A pairing that I despise: Could you guess I've never been a fan of Misa/Light?
