Death Note characters ranked on how good they are at driving, from worst to best:

Near: I'm sorry, but he's not reaching the pedals. Like, if you could strap his brain to a car and make him psychically drive it, he'd do better than most people on this list. But in a regular car he'd unfortunately struggle. Maybe he can control the gas/brake while Rester steers, or vice-versa.

Matsuda: I just know that he gets distracted by every little thing. Funny road sign? New song on the radio? Discussing murder notebooks with his passengers? He suddenly forgets that he's in the middle of changing lanes.

Ide: Better than Matsuda because at least he keeps his damn hands on the steering wheel. He's considerably worse if Matsuda and/or Aizawa are bickering in the car with him, though.

Misa: Her placement can be shifted up/down a few spaces depending on your definition of "good". She will get you to your destination 10 minutes earlier than you expect, but multiple traffic laws will be broken on the way.

L: Look, I know he piloted a helicopter in canon without a license, but the sky doesn't have lanes or traffic lights. He can figure out how to drive the vehicle, sure, but his driving is chaotic and only marginally better than Misa's overall.

Light: Like L, he probably doesn't have a license and could work his way around a car. Unlike L, he wants to look like the perfect law-abiding citizen and will try his best to drive like one. He ends up going a bit under the speed limit because of this. L finds his behavior highly suspicious.

Aizawa: Completely average driver, other than the occasional bout of road-rage. Or Matsuda-rage, if a certain idiot is messing with the AC again.

Mogi: Also completely average, but goes completely silent while driving (except when working as Misa's manager). Is he focusing on the road, or does he just not feel like talking? Nobody knows.

Mello: Prefers motorcycles, but is shockingly capable at driving a wide variety of vehicles just fine. He'll even obey the law if he isn't actively committing a crime in said vehicle.

Soichiro: We saw him smash that car into Sakura. Dude managed to make that look cool as hell. When not breaking and entering TV studios, though, he's probably very good at going the speed limit and following traffic laws and all that boring stuff (he is a cop, after all).

Matt: Roughly half of his experience driving is from Mario Kart and GTA, but he can still somehow Tokyo Drift IRL. Theoretically, these could be points against him (see L's placement), but he's so bafflingly good that Rule of Cool makes him the best by default. My point is that he could drive normal, but where's the fun in that?!

Sun has been redesigned!! He looks better yay!

Also moon again so they're in the same post yay!

[cupidskissx]

about your recent ask... this photo... they were not even that close back then, who let them look so tenderly at e/o 😭 and charles' fist touching the back of Max's hand... so, so domestic, I'm just sighing fondly 🥰

Monaco 2021 my beloved!! 😭🥹

Looking at the sun would be safer, this is too bright it hurts!

It’s almost unbelievable this moment even happened, but I’m forever grateful it did and that you’ve been lovely enough to share it again! 🥰

Come spread the lestappen love, here’s some suggestions

I hope that the victim has all the love and support in the world rn, and that the victim's identity remains safe (don't leak it ffs).

Alright, the kewk classic 'face hole' design it is~ 📊✅

"Ain't he a doll?" 💋💦💕

And now while I fuck with this anatomy sketch 5ever, we gotta decide on a background! I'm thinking Sal would prefer to do his love-sick swooning in the privacy of his bedroom, but where, exactly? 🤔

'The bed'-

Perks: seems more routine, sowft snuggly nest to daydream and swoon in, [darling] collage on the wall, '... okay, what have you been doing with that pillow...?'

Drawbacks: Limited space, have to take stability/sinking into account with props, perspective is Hard and I will make that headboard look good or die trying

'The floor'-

Perks: seems more impulsive, more yan/NEET clutter potential (more room to spread out), a glimpse under his bed (and at all the [darling] stuff he's got shoved under there)

Drawbacks: That carpet is UGLY, I will probably (definitely) bite off more than I can chew trying to fill all that space with props, it hurts my Everything just thinking about lying on the floor like that for too long

'Secret third thing'-

....???? idk you tell me lol

[saamaton]

landoscar 1-2 STOP THE COUNT

[fcb-mv33]

But the British media says he’s the worst teammate🤨

[mayxo-hxh]

hxh taught me a lot about what it truly means to have experience in your area of expertise.

this is what having experience in the field means. They figured out so much in only so little and immediately took measures against it. this fight is so good... shows u how insane the zoldycks are

even chrollo was like damn chill!!

Informing Toto Wolff that he's off to Ferrari in 2025, the team boss told Lewis Hamilton to picture the Mercedes rear wing, because that will be his "perspective" next season. Although Hamilton signed a two-year contract with Mercedes back in August last year, the Briton opted to activate an escape clause that allowed him to leave after just one year.

Toto Wolff: Hamilton/Ferrari leak didn't "give me lots of options"

Deciding over F1's Christmas break that he wanted a new challenge, the timeframe reads the decision, contact, negotiations, and signing all took place over a six-week period, and after that, Wolff was informed with Hamilton telling his team boss about his move as the news began to leak. "Not a lot," Wolff told Fox Sports Australia when asked about the time difference between his sit-down with Hamilton and the announcements. "I think it was difficult for him to really tell me because he left for the Christmas holiday and was Mercedes forever. Normally that's a time where we don't speak a lot, because he's gone, because otherwise we're speaking every day. And then he came back and said, 'Can we have a coffee?' He came for coffee-that's a normal thing we're doing when the season kicks off-and he said, 'I'm moving to Ferrari,' and I said, 'Really?' Not that it shocked me, because we knew that we have a short-term contract, but the timing, at the beginning of the season... I said, 'Why at the beginning of season?' He said he just wanted to have it out and not have it as a burden. Then you've got to stay pragmatic. After that five minute shock and disbelief it was like, 'Okay, what are we doing announcement? What are we doing going forward into the season?' And he said, 'Well, the announcement is a tricky thing, because I think it's leaking.' It didn't give me lots of options."

Toto Wolff "can't imagine" Lewis Hamilton in red

With Hamilton joining Mercedes in 2013, the same year Wolff signed up, the two have been together for six of the Briton driver's championship titles, and together won eight consecutive Constructors' Championships from 2014 to 2021. It begs the question, is Wolff disappointed by Hamilton's decision to leave Mercedes for Ferrari? "No, not at all," he insisted. "I think sportspeople have a limited shelf life when they are at the peak of their performance, peak of their earning power, and that is maybe ten to fifteen years. They've got to do it and take that limited amount of time where you want to win as many races and as much as possible, and that's why I understand that he says 'I gotta go a different path, I need to reinvent myself.' I see the positives, because our years were so great and we really have a strong bond. And in the same way, we are able to separate in wishing each other really all the best. Hopefully we'll be beating him on track, and we at the same time can embark on a new route with another new driver next to George." And beating him on track was Wolff's jibe to Hamilton after the 39-year-old broke the news. "I think, first, I can't imagine him in the red. I don't think it suits him," the Austrian added, "but I think that picture is gonna be interesting. And then I told him, 'You got to really picture our rear wing, because that's the perspective you're going to have.'"
