Story Recommendations

For your reading pleasure, included below is at least one fic rec for each pairing except the crossovers from non-Marvel fandoms (apologies to Mr. Potter & Mr. Stilinski). Most are gen fic, and even in the ones with a romantic pairing, romance is not the focus.

Tony Stark

As Subtle As Cognitive Recalibration by petroltogo (Teen, 8949) tumblr: @tonystarktogo

Standing inside his penthouse, listening to Rogers, Barton and Banner explain to Fury how they just happened to stumble over the Tesseract on a routine security check of Stark Tower’s roof and wouldn’t you know, they’ve managed to fight off the looming alien invasion before it could really start and secure the missing overpowered nightlight is one of the most surreal situations Tony has ever had the displeasure of experiencing.

Peter Parker

the worst field trip ever by shrill_fangirl_screaming (Teen, 3420) tumblr: @i-am-having-an-emotion

"We're on a field trip," Peter said. "To here. And Tony decided to be our tour guide and absolutely embarrass me, so can you please help get him under control?"

Which is how Peter Parker, architect of his own destruction, ended up with not one but two superhero pseudo-dads being annoying on his school field trip.

Steve Rogers

Do You Remember Being Happy? ('Cause I Sure Don't) by GalaxyThreads (Teen, 11022) tumblr: @galaxythreads

That seems about right. He doesn't know how he knows that, though. He does have vague memories of an annoyed fondness at finding peanut butter in some sort of jam. Thor's doing, because he doesn't see the point of using two knives when one works just as fine. He knows that. How does he know that? He knows all those little details, though, almost innately. How can he know these strangers so deeply?

Everyone else below the cut!

Loki

Proprietary by TheThirdMarauder (Teen, 7639)

No, Loki simply wants the Avengers conquered. The details of whom, how, and when matter not. Unless, of course, said details interfere with Loki's plans. Then, well, then none can fault him for protecting his own interests.

Loki has always been exceptionally good at lying to himself.

Natasha Romanov

What Girls Are Made Of by enigma731 (Teen, 4613) tumblr: @enigma731

She rolls her eyes but does as he’s indicated, using his shoulders to leverage herself up onto his back, her arms around his neck and her legs hugging his waist.

“You know,” he says blithely, “this isn’t really what I tend to picture when I think of a hot girl riding me.”

Natasha groans, deciding that if his sense of humor gets them arrested, she’ll kill him herself. “Just go.”

Clint Barton

Dear Clint Barton (circa age 7) by pollyrepeat (Teen, 4221)

With a normal person, this might count as blackmail material, but a) this is a case of mutually assured destruction if ever there was one, and b) Fury is immune to embarrassment. Not just in the regular, Tony Stark way, either, oh no. Things that could possibly end up being embarrassing to Fury get somehow warped and changed until they go from mortifying all the way over into useful and/or good for his image. It’s like a superpower.

Carrying Clint’s small child self around on his shoulders more than once has probably already hit the interagency rumour mill as an example of Fury’s innate awesomeness: good with rocket launchers and small children.

Also available as a podfic!

Bruce Banner

They're Not Wrong by Trumpeteer34 (Teen, 10163)

As Tony began to pace around the hole in the road to keep himself from shooting repulsors at the nearby buildings in a fit of rage, Thor began to study the nearby area. There was no sign of either the Hulk or Bruce Banner beyond the crater. The surrounding area, aside from the rubble of the fight, held no clue as to their friend’s location.

“Guys, he’s gone,” Tony growled into the communicator on their private line, drawing Thor out of his darkening thoughts. “Someone tranqed him and took him. He’s gone.”

Honorary mention goes to the Responsible Science series by @letteredlettered - the stories don’t have the "Avengers Team & Bruce Banner" tag, but they could, and they are amazing. The best Bruce Banner writing I've ever come across.

Thor

Fortunately, I Am Mighty by onward_came_the_meteors (General, 3062)

Steve was the first one to speak. “Are you okay?”

Thor nodded. Which was a bad idea, as it turned out, because now there were little gray lights flashing in front of his eyes. “I’m fine.” Absolutely everyone narrowed their eyes, and he added, “But, uh. Could we possibly not get back in the car just yet?”

Avengers Team

Civil Wasn't by onward_came_the_meteors (General, 7123)

"We're having an ideological conflict here," Tony stated with disbelief. "Are you telling me you still want to go out to dinner?"

"It's a standing engagement, Tony," Rhodey reminded him.

"Not you too—"

"We already had to reschedule from Friday when Natasha was..." Rhodey frowned. "What were you doing?"

The question was directed toward Natasha, who shrugged and said, "Spy stuff."

James "Bucky" Barnes

You Know How I Feel, aka, The Adventures of Bucky and Muffy the Dinosaur by ifeelbetter (Not Rated, 4511) tumblr: @ifeelbetterer

“As you may have heard, Bucky Barnes, a.k.a. The Winter Soldier, recently rescued a tiny part-robot dinosaur during the Avengers’ battle with Dr. Doom in Antarctica,” the other newscaster explained. “Pictures of Barnes and the dinosaur were posted on twitter by fellow Avenger, Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye, and immediately made Barnes’s new pet America’s sweetheart.”

“Her name’s Muffy,” said Steve."

Wanda Maximoff

and the woman was young again by Mira_Jade (General, 3669)

Tony Stark called them the Cap's Kooky Quintet, and sometimes the term amused her – causing her to lift a sardonic brow where someday a smile would truly smile. She enjoyed the presence of comrades – true comrades – and she enjoyed the way their minds wove and bound together about each other to fluctuate against her senses as one. There was something soothing about being in their midst, and even when their loud and brash ways – their painful Americaness - rubbed her raw and drained on her, it was ever the knitting of their minds that soothed those moments over, and made them inconsequential.

Phil Coulson

Coulson's First Day of School by storiesfortravellers (Teen, 3055)

Coulson looked up at him. “I like drawing pictures with Mr. Rogers. I like having tea parties with Ms. Potts. I like it when Dr. Banner reads me books, and I like it when Natasha teaches me things. And I like when you play with me. You do really good voices when we play action figures. And you’re the only one who lets me do stuff like jump off the high diving board at the pool or eat three cupcakes or play tackle with kids at the park.”

Clint didn’t realize that. He was pretty sure that meant that he was doing something wrong.

Darcy Lewis

Beginner Yoga for Dummies (Darcys) and Sad Hobos by chailover (Teen, 3434)

Darcy had a theory: crazy attracted crazy, working kind of like gravity. It was pretty much her explanation for her life after Thor. And if she had thought the type of crazy Thor attracted was bad, be it Loki or the Warrior Three and Sif, or the dark elves and the Convergence, it was still nothing against what the Avengers manage en masse.

Matt Murdock

Double Blind by smilebackwards (Teen, 2381) tumblr: @smilebackwards

Stark snaps his fingers. “You can’t see half of my inventions. This explains so much about you and why you’ve never been properly impressed by me.”

“Does it?” Matt says, ambiguously.

Sam Wilson

Bystander by scribblemetimbers (Teen, 52029)

“I just want you to know,” Sam says loudly, cautiously raising his hands, “That I’m very poor and very sleep-deprived and literally the only thing you can kill me for right now are my notes.” He pauses. Wait. On second thought: “Please don’t steal my notes.”

“I’m not—I’m not a mugger,” Not Mugger rasps out, and for all that he looks about to keel over and die, the man actually manages to sound offended.

Nick Fury

Bedtime Story by dixiehellcat (Teen, 2532) tumblr: @deehellcat

Fury snorted. “I have to check in with the duty officer. I’ll be back in, let’s say twenty minutes. I expect all of you to have whatever your pre-bedtime routines are completed, and be in here pajama’ed and ready to be read to.”

He tapped the book under his arm, then left with the usual dramatic swish of his long coat. Bruce scratched his head. “Did…he just say be ready to be read to?”

Pepper Potts

Pepper and the Avengers (Which She Knows Nothing About) by rebelmeg (General, 6696) tumblr: @rebelmeg

The Avengers, that mismatched group of hurt and heroism, was one of the most important things in Tony Stark’s life. So, naturally, Pepper had made them an important part of her life too.

Vision

039. Intoxicated by aimmyarrowshigh (Teen, 100) tumblr: @aimmyarrowshigh

It might be nice to fit in, just this once. To lose a bit of composure.

Vision floated over to the refrigerator and, with some timidity, pulled off a magnet. He stuck it to his forehead.

1, 7, 11, 32, 34, 39

001. how long ago did you start reading fanfiction? writing fanfiction? oh man. i’m not sure exactly but my memory is that i started reading fanfic in 8th grade when i was 13 and living in south florida. and i started writing my own fanfic that summer (2005) that i turned 14. sooo...i’ve been reading and writing fanfic for 15+ years??? oh damn.

007. do you prefer to read short fics or long fics? LONG FICS!! literally the first thing i do when i discover a new fandom or ship is to search through ao3 by word count. i just really love to settle in and read something long (and i’m talking...crazy long. i have read fics that are over 1,000,000 words before and i fucking love it).

011. how do you come up with your fic titles? oh basically all of my fic titles are from songs. so show me (family) is from the song ho hey by the lumineers. take my hand (take my everything) is from slip away by perfume genius. taste my beating heart is from howl by florence +the machine. some of my older fic titles are just grabbed from the body of the story.

the only interesting story is from: hands split and bless on curving man. that title comes from this outdoor book festival i stumbled across in london? and they had this archway that you could walk through and people were taping together pieces of paper with different words on them and hanging the chains from the ceiling of the archway. which meant that when you walked through it you were literally walking through poetry. “hands split and bless on curving man” was the poem i strung together and hung, and then eventually i used it for a supernatural fic framed around the winchester family and their hands.

032. copy and paste your top three favorite lines/jokes/sentences you’ve ever written. what fics do they come from?

But now, the apartment dark as the sun has set outside, the only noise the sound of Chris’ movie filtering up into the loft, Eddie feels like he’s intruding on something. Like he shouldn’t be here, in this moment, in this space, where Buck is at his most vulnerable. —so show me (family)

[Claudia] died the same way Stiles was born. Swaddled in hospital blankets, in the arms of the two people who loved her most in the world. —a little better

[Mary]’s never there. Hasn’t been since Dean’s world went up in flames and his sense of self disappeared into the night sky to be replaced with the baby in his arms. —gentle caress

034. how much of yourself and your life experiences do you put into your writing? what do you think your readers’ image of you is? sometimes it depends. in my most recent fic so show me (family) i put A LOT of my own experiences into the story. specifically most of buck’s injuries and childhood experiences (check: i’ve fallen down a flight of stairs multiple times, once drunkenly at a party trying to lean against a wall that wasn’t there and once stone cold sober carrying a vacuum cleaner that resulted in a broken face. in high school my friends and i got caught drinking in the woods on private property and escaped the cops by running into the trees. i broke my elbow as a kid and (unlike buck) i told my parents immediately but we waited a night before taking me to a hospital. and i chose to start going by my nickname in 9th grade and didn’t give my parents a heads up before they went to a back to school event).

in taste your beating heart there’s a throwaway line about how stiles “brought home a dead raccoon when he was six and asked if he could keep it” which is kIND OF GNARLY but based on a story of me when i was 5 petting a dead opposum in our backyard because i thought it was a sleeping dog and asked my dad if it could be our pet. SO.

i’m sure there’s more out there but those are the examples that stick out in my head right now.

039. what’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on? i think i’ve got an ear for dialogue. growing up i always liked to kind of daydream fake conversations between me and my crushes or celebrities i liked or whoever. and i donno, i just feel like over time i’ve gotten to know the rhythm of conversations and such? sometimes i’ll read fics and the conversation can feel stilted or overly written and i’m sure my dialogue isn’t perfect but it’s something i don’t have a hard time with. sometimes when i’m writing a scene the dialogue will come to me so fast i’ll end up just writing down all the dialogue in a rush and then go back and fill the prose in later. (that’s what happened with the eddie+maddie scene in take my hand (take my everything)).

fic writer ask game

#ask #anonymous #i like writing dialogue #and i'm terrible at describing scenery and giving a concrete setting and place #which is why i included that line from so show me (family)#bc i'm genuinely proud of how that line conveys the specific location of buck's loft #while also getting into eddie's mindset and emotions #anyway #about kat writes

Dragon Ball Z 039

Last time, Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma embarked on their trip to Planet Namek. It’s been a few days, and Bulma’s already bored. She spends this whole episode not bothering to wear pants.

I mean, is this a fanservice episode? I mean, probably, but this is a Triangle Guy production, so Bulma looks pretty weird the whole time, so I have a hard time imagining what sort of fan feels serviced by this. Also, Krillin looks like he’s wearing Bulma’s shirt from several episodes back.

Krillin and Gohan spend much of the trip “image training”, which I guess is some kind of telepathic sparring? I never quite understood how either of them knew how to do this, but it’s pretty awesome that they can.

When they finish, Bulma gripes about how messy the ship’s gotten, and when Krillin points out that it’s her mess on her side of the ship, she gripes that she’s super busy because she has to keep the ship functional.

Krillin wishes aloud that she wouldn’t wander around in her undies all the time. Team Four Star really did a good job with this this part of the saga, by the way.

Back on Earth, Goku is apparently well enough to get out of bed and do situps. So what are all the bandages for, exactly? In the fic I write, I invented a doctor who’s this giant spider, specifically so he could wrap up his patients in bandages made from his own webbing. So I know how fun it is to wrap up characters like mummies and call it medical treatment. But Goku really did suffer a bunch of broken bones not too long ago, so I don’t get it.

The doctor puts a stop to this and orders “Grandpa Glad-hands” to help the nurse put him back in bed. Grandpa Glad-Hands belongs in jail. As for Chi-Chi, she’s up on the roof worrying about Gohan.

This part looks like it wasn’t handled by Triangle Guy. Chi-Chi’s all worried because Gohan hasn’t written her. Does she just not understand how space works, or...?

Anyway, Chi-Chi’s adorable.

Back on the ship, Bulma asks where Vegeta went after he left the Earth. He was badly hurt, and his home planet was destroyed a long time ago, so where would he have gone for medical attention? It’d be kind of funny if he turned out to be in the same hospital as Goku, and they ended up sharing a room together.

They agree that wherever Vegeta has gone, it’ll be best for the Earth if it takes him a long time to get there, so they’ll have more time to prepare for his inevitable return. Krillin figures that if the Saiyans sold planets to other aliens, maybe he went to one of his clients for help.

Meanwhile, we see Vegeta en route to... wherever he’s going, and he’s still hurt, and he’s still amazed that he’s this badly hurt. I’m not sure it was worth checking in on him like this if there was no new information to reveal, but okay.

Back to Bulma, a swarm of alien ships suddenly appear and fire upon their vessel. I guess they’re unmanned drones, since there’s no sign of pilots in the cockpits.

Bulma returns fire and blows them all up, so I guess Capsule Corp. armed this ship. Or maybe it had weapons on it from the start? Doesn’t sound very Namekian to me.

Then they see another spaceship, and it mirrors their movements. That’s because its just a reflection of their own ship. I don’t understand why they never notice this, since they all know what their own ship looks like.

They end up getting pulled into the... whatever it is, and gradually it becomes clear that they ran into a much larger ship with some sort of reflective hull or force field or something like that. I don’t understand how they collided with it and just sort of sank into it, but it’s an alien ship, so I guess it doesn’t have to make sense. For some reason it looks like a hot-air baloon painted all-black.

They find themselves in a cargo bay full of junk, and they go out to look around. Bulma forgot to put on some clothes first, so she spends the rest of the episode like this. Some triangle-fetishist must love this episode.

Also, why is Bulma so jacked in this episode? Really, her arms are usually this big around, it’s just that her lower legs are really skinny because triangles. I ran into this in the Xenoverse games. A lot of players made custom Videls, and they looked very show-accurate except they never seemed to look quite right, and then I realized it was because all the women characters had really skinny legs to make them look “sexier”. That’s dumb, because the Dragon Ball house style gives everyone thick calves, especially Videl, because she’s a jock. Bulma’s a nerd, but she still has thicker legs than this most of the time.

Anyway, there’s all these booby traps on the ship, and a section with no doors, so they have to fly up to the next deck, and the whole place feels more like a tabletop RPG than an actual spacecraft real people would use. I mean, literal green slime drops down from the ceiling, and it kills on contact, just like the old D&D comic ads from the 1980′s.

Triangle Guy probably drew this ad, too.

Oh, hey, it’s Vegeta again, and now he’s swearing revenge. Neat.

All I’m saying is, why would you build a ship with green slime and guns in the walls and a red door in the ceiling that’s the only way in or out of a room? It doesn’t make any sense.

There’s even one trap that breaches the hull and Krillin’s hat gets sucked out into space.

Then they get to a room with a scrumptious dinner laid out for them.

Bulma dodges a knife, because she expected the food to be bait for another trap, but she failed to consider that the knife hitting the wall behind her was designed to activate another trap.

This giant dome falls on her, and everyone’s all surprised, like they wouldn’t have noticed that thing when they walked in.

Then it starts to retract itself or something...

And a robot claw reaches down and plucks Bulma up into the air. Well why didn’t they just do that in the first place?

Then a bunch of children come out and point guns at them. Why didn’t they do this in the first place?

This episode isn’t all that terrible, but it’s not particularly good, either. I can deal with Triangle Guy and the filler stuff and the fanservice crap, but not much actually happens, and when you put all that together, it just makes for a low-quality experience. It feels like the ship was only as big as it is just so they could stretch the story out and have the gang wander around it for a while.

I say this because the next episode is a lot better, and I think that’s mainly because we actually get to find out who these kids are, instead of just seeing the heroes deal with a bunch of corny traps that could have been laid by any stock villain.

talk to me about your favorite episodes of xyz !!! or your favorite moments !!

oh my god , okay , uh , i have SO many favorite episodes / moments , this is gnna take a hot motherfuckin sec ( post!editing edward here , i was right ) , uh , KDSFJGHSDFJ , okay , sO … folks , if you’ve ever wanted a somewhat comprehensive summary of all of my feelings on the xy/z series , here it is , all in one place :

001 - 002.

right from the start of satoshi showing up in kalos , the entire energy of the series was just so !!! & the battle animations were just such a breath of fresh air after having watched bw & i was just instantly drawn in . then there was the whole incident with the gablias & just satoshi following it up the tower & having calming it down enough to remove the collar , knowing that it was in pain , be the first priority , & then leaping after pikachu when an edge of the tower broke off —— my heart just was so warm throughout all that .

003.

satoshi consistently repeating that a strategy is needed against yayakoma sort of just made me smile & think , yeah he’s grown a lot since previous seasons . along with that , the moment where it clicks for satoshi why keromatsu has been described as “ the pokemon that battles as it pleases without listening to its trainer ” , understanding his feelings & working to attain keromatsu’s goal together instead of him just leaping blindly without considering how to most effectively achieve it ; that also just really made me soft , because finally there’s a trainer that actually understands keromatsu & it reaffirms that him choosing satoshi was indeed a good choice .

006.

a really small thing , but when satoshi’s stuck on how to counter viola’s pokemon & he & serena have a small talk & serena says that he told her “ don’t give up until the end ” & that he hasn’t changed & “ this is so like you ” & satoshi just pauses for a second . & then he laughs . because how could he forget ?? it’s not like him to mull things over too much , he just goes at it with fighting spirit , no matter what it may be or even if fighting spirit is all he has . that moment just always makes me smile to think about , probably mostly due to the pause & laugh , honestly .

007.

serena putting her sihorn knowledge to use & teaching satoshi how to ride one , & the moments where she was remembering herself learning & when she repeats her mom’s words of “ don’t talk !! you’ll bite your tongue !! ” & “ go for broke !! ” without even thinking —— those were sweet . also the kalos gang talking to serena’s mom for the first time , that was really adorable , especially with everyone pushing each other out of the frame to talk & satoshi excitedly talking about serena teaching him to ride sihorn & her trying to get him to shush up & ending up just shoving him away from the phone entirely before he could finish a sentence .

008.

satoshi & pikachu continuing to battle the rocket gang even after maaiika blinded pikachu by having satoshi become his eyes & guide where to dodge & where to strike ; it was a really nice way of showing the trust that pikachu has in satoshi & vice versa , because battling blind while relying on someone else’s directions does take a lot of trust to pull off smoothly .

009.

honestly just the entire episode : the backstory with the citroid , citron reclaiming his gym , the kalos gang saying they’ll grow together with citron , him declaring to his dad that he wishes to travel with satoshi & serena & stating that they’ve helped him grow as a person in even just the short amount of time that they’ve been together at that point , the promise between satoshi & citron to have a proper gym battle against each other once satoshi reaches the skill level of someone with four badges & citron promising to get stronger as well to be able to give that proper gym battle —— this entire episode was filled with so much goodness .

025.

after rewatching the orange league arc , i’d come to realize that zakuro giving his challengers the option to climb their way to the battlefield was quite similar to a previous gym leader that too had his challengers climb for the right to challenge him , but there were a few differences , one significant one being that , in kalos , satoshi has zero hesitation in his decision to climb the walls & , though he slips once , he doesn’t look down & finishes his climb with relative ease , a vast improvement from the aforementioned orange league arc , & the connection with the earlier arc makes this a moment , or rather thing , that i really liked . also the evolution of way of fighting through battle with the counter - tombs was really neat .

030 - 033.

honestly just watching corni & her lucario bond & grow & come to truly understand each other & overcome the overwhelming power of lucario’s mega evolution was all just really interesting ; also the understanding that satoshi had for her connection with lucario & for the need to battle the bursyamo in the cave on their own due to his own experience , that was nice .

034.

the entire episode , really . satoshi took one look at luchabull & just went “ kin ” . the excitement & admiration he felt at meeting luchabull & him asking if kanazawa could share some stories about him & just being so !!! when kanazawa tells him he could take him to luchabull’s training spot —— it was all just so tangible & heartwarming . satoshi working with luchabull to help master the flying press & trying to help by thinking of a way to increase the speed of the attack without having to remove the personal dramatic flair aspect of luchabull’s particular move was also really sweet , along with admitting total defeat even though it was a draw between luchabull & keromatsu because luchabull had perfected his flying press after trying satoshi’s suggestions only once & impressed him + luchabull still wanting to go along with satoshi & the others .

039 - 042.

the rival trio were so great & the summer camp was a wonderful way of introducing these recurring characters , not to mention that this marks the beginning of steady discovery for serena of what sort of dream she wants to attain , with sana telling her about the trypokarons & it sparking an interest for her .

044.

oh man , the gym battle between satoshi & corni was such a ride to watch , especially just the first time around , like the animation team really pulled out some god damn stops for this episode because , holy fuck , it was like a cup of coffee for me . also , the moment with satoshi realizing he can’t really copy anyone else’s strategy because he’s got his own type of rhythm to battling was just kinda nice .

047.

serena’s first caught pokemon & her deciding that she wants to become a pokemon performer along with fokko & yancham . she’s struggled with the fact that she’s the only one she knows without a goal or a dream in life all the way up until this episode & just the fact that she’s finally so certain of something like that really warmed my heart .

053.

going off from the aforementioned ep , serena confronting her mom about wanting to become a pokemon performer & challenging her to a race with the stakes being that , if serena loses , she’s going to come back home , & even though she falls down in the middle of the race , not giving up & her determination getting her through to the finish line first . she finally had something she’s so passionate about & i just felt nothing but pride & joy for her .

054.

kojiro & maaiika , man . kojiro & maaiika .

060.

while serena may have failed in her first trypokaron , it was really heartwarming to see her finally turn around in the end & not let the failure stop her entirely from pushing on ahead , knowing that she’s not alone in it , she has her pokemon with her . also the blue ribbon she got from satoshi being used for her new look was sweet .

064.

elle & serena’s battle & serena taking elle’s advice of smiling while performing with her pokemon to heart & reaching fokko in a way that made it evolve into tairenar all hit me in the heart like a bag of bricks , not gonna lie .

067.

oh man . the entire gym battle between satoshi & citron . it really was so electrifying to watch , the animation & emotion in the battle was off the hook & i could swear that my heart was racing its own marathon during all of it . i really felt that feeling of not wanting the battle to end & wanting it to last forever , & when it was over i felt like i’d just gotten an absolute rush of adrenaline & had to slowly come down from it . it’s honestly my favorite gym battle to date , full stop ( though the unofficial gym battle against kasumi in sumo is a close second due to similar reasons as this one ) , because not only was the battle itself so incredibly well done , but the chemistry between not just trainer & pokemon , but trainer & trainer as well was just so beautifully displayed in a way that none of the other gym battles with travelling companions who were gym leaders had ( the battle against kasumi is one of an old friendship from the very early first days of their journeys , sort of an “ it’s been a long while, wonder how you’ve you been ” , while the one against citron is more that of gratitude & respect , mostly coming from citron ; they’ve got two distinctly different connections ) ; citron was inspired by satoshi to be the type of trainer he is in this episode , all the events & incidents that have happened up until this battle have made him the way he is , & he is giving it his all because it’s not only what satoshi deserves but it’s also what citron has achieved —— he’s grown as a trainer & as a person & this battle is his way of showing all his progress thus far . it’s a thank you . also , you can pry the line “ satoshi, you need me. a fighter like you needs a calm type like me by his side ” from my cold , dead grasp .

074.

satoshi dealing with the trick rooms was interesting to watch , & even though the end result may not have been quite as satisfactory as he’d hoped , the repeated use of flame charge to build up speed for when the room timed out was a heh moment that i liked ; he’s got a tendency to sometimes purposefully make his opponents think he’s making a mistake while he’s actually just waiting for the right moment to make a good move & i really appreciate those moments .

076.

the gang parenting the newly hatched onbat was so sweet & so cute , especially with satoshi & his flying types , helping it learn to fly . it’s kind of a small thing , but it’s so adorable & heartwarming that i can’t help but call it a favorite .

085.

kojiro stepping up & helping serena with tairenar’s broken stick because he understands the feeling of losing something that may seem easily replaceable to others but holds immeasurable value & memories to the one who owns said something . it was honestly just so sweet & so heartwarming & he was happy for tairenar even while getting blasted off , i mean come on . my heart was mush .

087.

tiny thing but satoshi sprawling out in his sleep to the point of having an arm draped over citron was really cute & a favorite thing .

092 - 093.

first off , i dig gojika’s whole Thing so much & i think she might be my favorite gym leader purely aesthetic - wise ; second , the foreshadowing of satoshi - gekkouga & gekogashira’s backstory , holy shit . not gonna lie , the lines “ what keromatsu wanted was something deeper . i call this … love . […] this one’s future … is you two climbing up towards a future of new greatness … that no one has ever seen before . ” hit me in the heart like a bowling ball . & oh man the gym battle … god it was so much fun to watch & i loved every moment of it , particularly satoshi having pikachu time the amount of time it takes for gojika’s future sight to strike , & Oof the moment where gojika sees satoshi & gekogashira’s future in the water pulse .

100 / xy&z07.

gekogashira’s evolution & the first instance of satoshi - gekkouga … honestly , almost every time i rewatch an instance of it after a while of not seeing any , i realize i forgot just how intense the satoshi - gekkouga state is , like even just the powering up part on its own .

106 / xy&z13.

something about the abruptness of the ends of the battles between satoshi - gekkouga & jukain & mega lizardon always cracks me up , i don’t know what to tell y’all . also the exchange of “ satoshi, what was that ?? how can you do that ?? please tell me !! ” “ i don’t know either. my vision goes bam & then i’m all rargh. ” “ i see, i see … wait, that does not help !! ” .

112 - 113 / xy&z19 - 20.

even though she lost in the end , the fact that serena had even made it to the point of facing off against elle in the first place was such a huge deal & i can honestly say that i cried a Lot during these episodes & that they are the reason i now instantly get teary - eyed upon hearing serena’s dori - dori song . also , it was really nice that musashi accepted her loss as well as she did , casually stating that it was because of the rest of the gang that she made it even that far , even though just a few trypokarons ago she would have blown her lid off at a loss when she was so close to her goal ; the rest of the gang being just so proud of her & kojiro & nyarth being more than willing to pay for the celebratory dinner was really sweet , too .

116 / xy&z23.

small things stuck with me & make this a nice episode to rewatch , such as the start of studying satoshi & gekkouga’s synchronization , pikachu shouting at satoshi for calling out onvern for a battle instead of him & getting pouty , the small details of satoshi’s eyes narrowing just as he’s about to resume battle with gekkouga having freshly powered up & his pupils contracting in a closeup when an attack is incoming which are such tiny things but delight me to no end , & just the enthusiasm with which satoshi goes into his decision to raise his own strength closer to that of gekkouga’s .

118 / xy&z25.

where can i even begin with this episode Holy Shit … first off , this ep reaffirmed to me that carne is such a delight , honestly , def one of my favorite champions , second … that battle though … that battle … poetic cinema … the battle choreography , the animation , the way satoshi - gekkouga’s theme seemed to perfectly sync up with what was on screen , satoshi moving in perfect sync with gekkouga’s movements as he attacked as though he were the one performing the attacks , the raw emotion in satoshi’s voice as he called out attacks & declarations of becoming much , much stronger … it was such a rush of adrenaline to watch , even bigger than the one i got while watching the gym battle between satoshi & citron , i felt like my heart stopped beating the moment the battle was abruptly ended by satoshi losing consciousness . & hey , the animator(s) responsible for the scenes with the white background & black paint splatters , let me get y’all’s number , i wanna treat y’all because holy fuck those were intense . i loved them .

119 / xy&z26.

this episode is less of a favorite due to what happens & more of a favorite due to the content as a whole . upsetting to him as it may have been , satoshi had been having a huge winning streak , alan & black - outs excluded , so a loss was imminent , & , honestly , understandable . seeing that shoota had surpassed him in an aspect & grown so strong in such a short amount of time got to him & affected his psyche ; kid got scared . he got nervous & , as we all know , a nervous trainer leads to a faulty battle . i will say though that the little bit after the internal thoughts in the middle of the jukain vs gekkouga battle of satoshi saying shoota surprised him delights me to no end & i blame how rica said the line along w/ the small motion satoshi makes while saying it .

120 / xy&z27.

satoshi literally saying “ hold my jacket while i fight this guy ” . i can’t call anything else a favorite even though i loved this episode because everything else just made me emotional & upset ; particularly the fact that the preview for the next episode was silent except for the snowy wind blowing & satoshi dejectedly reading out the title of the episode without even saying the “ everyone, get pokemon ” line at the end .

121 / xy&z28.

putting aside the upsetting factor of the title not being read out by anyone … the flashbacks of younger satoshi with all those wild pokemon really warmed my heart after all of the upsetting stuff that had been going on . also the moment of satoshi & gekkouga finally making their power their own , based on their mutual strong desire to save one pokemon , along with them both deciding to start fresh from zero , gekkouga rolling his monster ball towards satoshi just as like when he initially chose him & everything .

122 / xy&z29.

oh honey when satoshi - gekkouga showed up … oh Honey … again , the thing with satoshi moving in sync with gekkouga’s moves as though he were the one attacking , except this time even more intense than during the battle with carne ; for some reason the aerial ace kick downwards always gets me & that small bit is one of my top favorite parts of the entire episode somehow .

123 / xy&z30.

satoshi & eureka finishing off the preview for the next episode together while citron’s in the background wordvomiting about the wonders of ingenuities . that is all .

125 / xy&z32.

satoshi’s declarations of aiming to win the entire league , serena having to physically drag satoshi away from a battle before it begins when he’s already running out of time to get registered for the conference , satoshi doing the arm thing on trova , seeing the frustration of someone who failed to get all eight badges in time , just so many favorites across the episode .

126 / xy&z33.

the various mega - evolutions , tierno & shoota’s battle , & numelgon rejoining the team were all Oof .

127 - 128 / xy&z34 - 35.

satoshi’s eyes shining while watching alan’s fight honestly made my heart go ding , not gonna lie ; the boundless excitement building in him is real & it’s wonderful . & the start of the battle between satoshi & shoota … i felt like satoshi using pikachu’s electric ball against bloster’s grip was a nice callback to using it to get out of horubee’s grasp on his tail in the first episode , & honestly the part where satoshi had pikachu block gillgard’s entry into its shield was such a heh moment , like it really was so on brand for him to pull something like that , something that would have failed were the timing off even in the slightest ; also i really liked the small detail of satoshi’s pupils contracting when he spots a chance for dealing with king’s shield & the little laugh he did when shoota’s peroream returned the favor for what onvern did . but holy fuck the finale of the battle between satoshi & shoota … the fight between satoshi - gekkouga & mega jukain … oh man i absolutely felt that battle ; the adrenaline rush i got from watching it was on par with the gym battles against corni , citron , & urup , & the battle against carne . the raw power in it … wrow … the animation , the battle choreography , just how absolutely tangible the attacks were … but the true oof was yet to come … this was only the semi - finals … the biggest big dick energy of them all was still only just around the corner …

129 / xy&z36.

honestly this episode had just really tiny things that i liked , like the nurse joy at the beginning of the episode wishing for satoshi to do his best in the finals with a shine in her eyes which was honestly really cute , citron & eureka’s dad stealing the citroid’s line about waiting in line for 2h being an easy feat , the jirachi keychain , alan genuinely being excited for the finale & battling satoshi , & how could i list off favorites in this episode without mentioning the ending song , oh my god , it’s the softest & cutest & sweetest shit , i swear i could get a cavity from watching it on repeat .

130 - 131 / xy&z37 - 38.

ho - ly - shit . i mean , this was the finals match , so no fucking shit the battle would radiate big dick energy , but the absolute wave of power that ran over me while watching it was absolutely phenomenal . the animation , the movements , the emotion , the raw power behind each call of attack & execution of move , the absolutely palpable energy of the battle … whew … i needed to sit back for a few minutes & just catch my breath after all of that … like , putting aside how much hatred i have for the constant baiting of a league victory for satoshi ( with him declaring he’s aiming for victory throughout the entire series & a bunch of characters saying lines that imply a league victory ( not to mention , the final episode of the conference being called “ kalos league victory !! satoshi’s ultimate match !! ” , like holy shit , can you pull a bigger dick move ) ) , only for alan to beat satoshi - gekkouga with a move that he’d easily blocked before in spite of gekkouga using an insanely more powerful counter attack than the first time while also having the type advantage ( but go off i guess ) … it was an incredibly well executed battle & , really , the end result was the only thing that i would ( & did ) change . also , a bunch of tiny things that i really loved were citron’s hand trembling out of excitement during the start of the battle , luchabull coming out of his monster ball on his own when onvern was defeated & badly hurt , alan experiencing the same feeling that most trainers feel while battling satoshi —— the feeling of wanting the battle to continue on for as long as possible because they’re deriving such fun & enjoyment from the raw passion that arises in the midst of the fight , kojiro starting to root for satoshi & while initially giving him slack for it musashi & nyarth joining in on it , rocket gang stating that they were the ones that helped make satoshi as strong as he is ( which , honestly , go off y’all three because you’re so right & i’ve been saying it for a while now ) , & again , the fucking ending song , i swear it could cure my depression if i watched it enough times . & then there was the start of fleur - de - lis’ plan being set into motion …

132 - 134 / xy&z39 - 41.

rocket gang broadcasting live coverage of the happenings in miare city , the zygarde showdown , serena & platane going to save hari with manon & rocket gang following them & the “ this is that “ the enemy of our enemy is our friend ” thing ” , citron kicking flare gang ass … satoshi & gekkouga resisting energy that was powerful enough to control zygarde & satoshi’s speech of loving this world & there being people & pokemon he loves & the absolute raw Emotion in his delivery as he shifts into the bond phenomenon along with the return of … the Thing with the white background & black paint splatters (seriously , people responsible for those , hit me up & let me treat y’all ) … poetic cinema … in the midst of fighting against fleur - de - lis , satoshi honestly dropped some intense fucking lines , not gonna lie , & you can’t deny , like … “ fighting instinct, whatever … there’s more to a pokemon’s power than that. i’ve realized during my journey … that me & my pokemon’s strength is constantly believing in each other … & constantly loving each other no matter what. if you don’t get it, i will show you here & now !! ” & “fleur - de - lis !! i don’t care if you hate this world or not ; the world belongs to humans & pokemon alike. it belongs to everyone !! stop being selfish & talking about … how you’re going to destroy or change it, or that we won’t live to see tomorrow !! those who will meet someone dear to them tomorrow, those who will achieve their dreams tomorrow, those who will start their journeys as trainers tomorrow, & those whose wounds will heal tomorrow ; each & every one of them has their own tomorrow !! you have no good reason to not let them see that tomorrow !! that’s why … me & my pokemon will fight for their tomorrow !! ” were some raw as fuck lines . & speaking of raw as fuck … holy shit did eureka bringing squishy back to its senses absolutely tear me apart … this child … she’s scared for her life & in tears , but she’s not crying for herself , she’s crying for the one she’d promised to protect & never let go of … & she finds it in herself to sing to it the song she’d made up just for it & that she’d sung & hummed to it throughout their journeying together … & the more she sings it , the louder she does so , hoping , knowing … it will help bring her friend back … & it does . & , if you listen closely , you can hear edward in the background absolutely sobbing just remembering it all . oh but the emo shit doesn’t end there , oh no - no - no … there’s the citroid . i have one image for that …

135 - 136 / xy&z42 - 43.

putting aside the rocket gang also kicking flare gang ass & continuing to broadcast live coverage of the mayhem unfolding , i think we all know who the true hero of the zygarde arc was . it was eureka , that’s who . she befriended a basically - god & saved it & protected it & made it & another basically - god of it’s kind realize that the world is worth saving . i love her & i’m proud of her . that being said … eureka tickling a spot on the other z - core while saying that squishy likes when she does that & it just nodding next to her like she’s said the wisest truth in the universe was really hecking cute . the little detail of daigo kissing his key stone to activate mega evolution was neat , & oh damn carne & the gym leaders assembling to assist … they came in ready to kick ass & kick ass they did . everyone charging in on the megalith , even the rocket gang joining in , the back - to - back champion fighting , everyone doing everything within their power to save hari & stop the maglith … & the zygarde !!! “ we have set our hopes on humans. she has protected us this whole time. she promised she would never let us go. now it is our turn !! ” oh honey … i’m telling you , eureka saved the world with her kindness . but the use of the piano instrumental of squishy’s song when the zygarde are saying goodbye & the ending song bye nyarth was illegal , bye .

137 / xy&z44.

honestly just someone instantly recognizing satoshi from the league made me really happy somehow , especially since the only other time someone’s recognized him from a league that i can name of the top of my head was masato way back in advanced . the citroid learning about the joys of gym battles all over again was really nice , too .

138 / xy&z45.

serena deciding to hold a pokemon performance in miare city’s square to lift everybody’s spirits higher with sana & musashi joining her in it absolutely lit my heart up , so i’d say serena was quite successful in her plan . also , satoshi pointing out things he knows are of interest to serena while they’re out in the city & him pulling her along by the hand to battle when he notices her being gloomy was really cute & sweet ; i might not be on board for them as a ship but man i can so absolutely see the appeal . also - also , the mention of pokemon contests !!! which makes me think that it’d be really interesting for serena to meet with haruka & hikari & their rivals & face off against them , which i know we’ll never get to see but it’s nice to think about . also - also - also , yashio saying she’s a fan of serena’s & the beginning of dori dori kicking in really yanked at my heart strings & still makes me instantly turn into a tearful mess , thanks .

139 / xy&z46.

the long - distance battling with satoshi - gekkouga was really nice , especially since i’m particularly fond of any & all scenes that display the powers / abilities brought out by the bond phenomenon ( something i might make a post on some day , actually , since it really is such an interesting thing to think about ) … but alas , it was time to say goodbye to gekkouga … it was sad , yes , but the knowledge that their bond will always connect them no matter the physical distance is a comfort … the promise between squishy & eureka to go on an adventure again when eureka’s a trainer sort of punched me in the soul , honestly .

140 / xy&z47.

hanako & okido !!! pikachu squishing his face on the monitor !!! satoshi leaning way into the camera !!! it was all so cute !! also , rocket gang editing the footage they filmed so that it looked like they were the ones responsible for the defeat of the flare gang & it actually working ; i also really liked the little heh detail with the solrock & lunatone keychains as a nudge about the upcoming sumo series . but good lord eureka’s speech to dedenne about not wanting to say goodbye either but knowing that they have to & that one day she’ll become a trainer with dedenne as her partner … i barely skimmed over that part while rewatching the episode & even two lines from it made me start crying . also , what does it say about me that the first thing i thought when citron said “ [..] can i also ask one last favor ?? there is something i want to do very badly. ” was if he wanted to kiss satoshi too ?? i will say though , them having one last battle before parting ways warmed my heart a lot … the flashbacks of everyone’s adventures throughout this journey & the glimpses of what the side cast were up to hit me in the emotions , but what truly played my heart like a violin concerto … was satoshi coming home . there was no big fanfare , no grand welcome back , just a boy returning to his home town after a long journey , nothing but the sounds of the night accompanying him as he makes his way to his house , followed by a message of “ & to your own way. ” , unlike in previous finales where the send - off was “ next time … a new beginning !! ” , a sign that , from here on out , we are no longer going to follow satoshi , that , though he still has a ways to go before achieving his goal of becoming a pokemon master , we won’t be accompanying him on his next journey . the way satoshi arriving in masara town was executed … it felt final & it really felt like coming home . & i for one can only wish satoshi the best on his next adventure .

[B]’s Age: An Analysis ♰

Though B's age is never stated in canon material, the prevailing belief is that he is an adult in 2002. This is based Naomi’s first encounter with him [038-039 EN] under his Rue persona, describing him as a young man that is fairly tall.

But, is it possible to make an guesstimate B’s age?

This considers his [1] physical attributes as described in DNAN, the potential for his age to be predicted by [2] patterns within the LABB case itself, and predictors for when L became L to generate [3] the first generation…

♰ — — Rue’s Attributes: — — ♰

It is possible for B to have been younger or older than the age Naomi (then 26) perceived him as? -- It would be easy to assume, based on Naomi’s assessment, he must be older than an early teenager - probably in the later or final stages of puberty (16+)... However, B is under disguise and the extent of that disguise is not truly known.

♰ His Appearance: The reader is lead from the point of introduction to draw parallels between B's appearance and L's. Naomi herself has nothing to make the comparison with given that she has never met L. Despite meeting L in the final chapter of DN:AN, it states she thought she never met L [051]. With L being secretive and reclusive, he is the only one in the story (besides perhaps our narrator) that can appreciate the similarities and perhaps he does -- Upon their 2nd call, Naomi having just met the mysterious Rue, L make a rather odd inquiry, "Was he cool?" [055] This scene is most likely intended to inject some humor and not actually provide useful information. But to have him ask something like this leads one to assume that L indeed saw these similarities (the potential cameras at the crime scenes, is a subject for another post but statements made at scene 4 make it very likely). Though the fact that L could recognize their similaries is good evidence that he probably looked like a strange 20-something year old man... To whatever extend B resembles L, when Naomi encounters L in the subway, she does feel a sense of familiarity but does not seem to see them as remarkably identical. [172] Her assessment of L can be summed up as a realization of how phony Rue looked in comparison.

♰ His Height: Naomi seems to see this person is fairly tall, though about 2 heads shorter due to his slouch. But, it is not stated if he is wearing shoes --even his height is not completely beyond question

♰ His voice: Naomi made no comment on his voice when he is caught off guard ( abruptly stepped on [119] and screaming in pain [152] ) this may be reliable indicator that he is at least not faking his voice and perhaps beyond puberty -- but that's based on what isn't rather than what is.

♰ Age restricted activities: Some also look to his ability to drive as an indication of age - specifically, license eligibility. Traveling from Winchester to LA, to acquire his multiple 'lairs' [095], and ultimately his placement in prison. But with Wammy's not knowing his name [117] he doesn't have an identity that exists on record -- essentially, if he does have identifying documents, the information wasn't necessarily accurate.

But, we can draw on other information.

♰ — — Patterns in the LABB Case — — ♰

Within the case B constructed and even within the date of this death, there are 13’s everywhere.

The days that the victims are to die make a single B, the months make a single L (July) or BB (August). Notice that DNAN ends on ch.7 with an L as the cover and that volume 7 is L upside down… 7, an upside down L.

The day upon which Beyond dies, both the day and month together make a single B.

The pattern of days – 9 days, 4 days, 9 days , 9 days – make a 13 and then total to make a 31.

Even the ages of the victims first begin with 44 (1+3 1+3) then 13, then 28 which is in the middle of the previous 2.

… The only factor that does not go cleanly into a 13 is that middle age 28, 28 could be read as 2 4 + 4 —> 2 1+3 1+3

If we speculate that the ages have a pattern that would lead to 13 then 28 needs something to complete it.

Could 28 add up to another 13, if we used the next age (B’s age) ?

Since Beyond is not going to be laying face down at death, and does not have the initials QQ, we can assume he is an adult (based on the patterned of the other victims). That means we have these possibilities: 20, 29, 33

Which best fits?

Each has potential though it is 20 and 33 that fit best,

20 allows us to get to 4 – B is the 4th victim and 4 is very special because it not only is 1+3 but it sounds like death (死). It also allows for us to continue the pattern that this age will be between the previous two victims ages.

33 allows us to get two 13s which completes the pattern of the adults having two 13s and the one child having only one.

The ages added up – 105, 114, 108 could be read as dates:

1/5 || 10/5 , 1/14 || 11/14 , 1/8 || 10/8 --- These dates could be factored into something significant though that could be too much speculation…

[20] 1/5 || 10/5 – The day L looks over the FBI agents deaths in videos – 1 month before L’s death, 2 months before Mello leaves Wammy’s – If flipped you get May 1, the month B runs away – If flipped to get May 10th and assume B runs away on this day, then we get 620 days until his death (62 = 31 + 31).

[29] 1/14 || 11/14 – 0 nothing – A day before Light takes over as 'L’ – four days after Mello’s name is revealed and he blows up his base

[33] 1/8 || 10/8 – The Yagamis are put under L’s surveillance – Matsuda fakes his death – NPA director is abducted by Mello’s Mafia members

♰ — — The First Generation — — ♰

B was brought into Wammy's at an unknown age but, given that Wammy's did not know his name [117], his identity was probably discarded because he was an experimental successor for L. --- he was brought with that purpose in mind.

---- This is important because it means he probably wasn't brought in until L became L, the detective.

It is worth noting that in L: Change the World (Novel), mentions DNAN and is credited to “M”. It states, “...Only one serving a purpose above all others, gathering particularly intelligent children regardless of nationality, race, or gender -- The Wammys House. Not serving as a formal academic institution, Wammy's House invites professors, researchers, and specialists from around the world to give the chilkdren instruction befitting their abilities and potentials. The ultimate purpose of these child is to serve as safe gaurds of the world." [013] From this, we can gather that these children must not arrive with identities, because obviously their peers and instructors would remember these true names, if they were later selected to become a letter (K in this novel only learns she has earned her letter years after running away at 16 and her name is not the factor that clues L into who she is and her history, coming from Wammys House. This means they probably did not have a record of her name, or L during his confrontation with her would have already known who she is. Additionally, this might explain why Matt also doesn’t seem to have a name on official files. Volume 8 also states the same that DNAN does, that Wammy’s does not know the names of these children.

One thing worth mentioning in regards to true-names that can be written in the death note, is that it does NOT need to be legal or official or name designated at birth. In "Death Note: New Generation" Episode 3, a new Kira is trying and fails to kill the murderer of a 7 year old child. This person's legal, documented, birth-name is not their true name. This is because this person is trying to leave that part of their past behind and has taken on a new name, this is a name that they identity with, not the name that is legally documented for them. This former killer, has changed their surname and it is only by using this undocumented surname that Kira is able to kill them.

This means that when B entered Wammy’s, he not only had no documented name but also if he did rename himself, it could become his true name -- regardless of any formal documentation, legal identity, or given birth name that had existed.

DN:AN & L: FILE № 15 offer a general idea of when that occurred.

Mello was originally going to talk about 3 stories: (1) LABB, (2) Watari meeting L, and (3) the bioterror case in which L obtained the code names of Eraldo Coil and Deneuve. (X, Y, and Z making a guest appearance). [170]

► “...そして世界一の発明家キルシュ・ワイミーことワタリと、当時推定八歳のLとの出会いー世紀の名探偵L誕生のきっかけとなった、第三次世界大戦をすんでのところで食い止めたウィンチェスター爆弾魔事件についての、詳細記述を続けようと思っていたのだが、それだけの容量は、どう楽観的に見積もっても、残っていないようだ...”

There is a line following Mello describing Watari and L meeting, suggesting that L becoming the greatest detective and the Winchester case would be part of the story but not the story [ Roughly: “... meeting the estimated 8 year old L --- I was thinking of going into detail...” -on L becoming the greatest detective and the Winchester bomb case that stopped WWIII.] It is a matter of how you want to read it, it could be read ‘they meet -- these are a few events that happened in the recent time of their knowing each other’ or ‘they meet -- these are the events of that meeting’. However, despite 8 being an estimation and the uncertainty of where L’s birth as the greatest detective lands, is where we begin the timeline.

★ Note: It is worth pointing out this might be contradiction with the 2-chapter manga in "L: FILE № 15" [JNP&EN Ch.2] seems to imply that L discovered his investigative passions a while after his discovery by Watari.

Between age 8 (1987) and death (2004), 4 generations of successors begin. One evenly divide up the generations temporarily but there is nothing suggesting they were separated by equal measures of time. It also wouldn't help place B, since he is in the first generation -- by default will be towards the beginning (1987+)

B's true age is indeterminable but we can assume:

-- He is a child in 1987 (referred to as the 2nd child)

-- He is a young man in 2002 ( based on Naomi's description)

-- He is at least 5+ in 1987

★ Why at least 5 years old?

He is aware of when his parents death's are to occur. Assuming B has access to an ordinary education before his induction into Wammy's, the numerical symbols had meaning and were not just a set of lines and curves. He also knew how to apply them mathematically. Children begin to learn these things around this age so 5+, so it would be reasonable.

In addition, Wammy's could have been his first introduction to Roman (Latin) symbols (A, B, C) -- this he may have been the time he connected the similarity between 13 and B. And that L being the 12th symbol is < 13.

Plans for successorship probably did not begin immediately after L’s first case at around age 8 - not until L became L, the detective -- having become so important that they needed backups. So, assuming it began a few years after:

L is 22 going on 23 in DN:AN. Mello states he solved over 3,500 cases [010] , considerable given that there was only 25 years between the first case and death. Assuming he was solving them at such a fast rate (~140/yr), he could have been only 9 or 10 at the time they began experimenting with successors.

Potential Age Ranges:

★ Note: This also allows B to have obtained the akazukin chacha manga as it was serialized (~1991-2000) as he boasts that he had. It may make more sense why he started reading them – he was a young child. (7-12)

[Additional point brought up by @extrxmegxnius ]:

B also claims to have watched the anime which was broadcast in Japan from 1994-1995 then in other countries in 1998 (Philippines, China, and some other countries in Southeast Asia). So, either B would have had to request copies of these episodes or he would have been in one of these areas where it was broadcast.

One could estimate him to be older. Though successors (with appearances) that could have been part of the first generation have no known ages.. A few appear to be around the same age as L -- one being stated as the first of their letter and could be part of the 1st gen (K).

In conclusion: Though B's age is indeterminable, evidence supports that B was a young adult in 2002, a child in 1989, and was at least 5 when he arrived at Wammy's house sometime after 1989.
