they really did not have to make death note this homoerotic that was certainly a choice that was made. or maybe this whole scene is more about the Jesus imagery of washing Light’s feet and like I get that but by god damn they made it sooooooooo gaaaaaaayyyy

#like I’m sorry I’m working my way through the most popular animes and when I have a New Interest #y’all just have to suffer thru it ksjdkdjdkdjd #death note #but also I’ll start tagging all my live-blogging-my-shows posts with ‘anime’ and the name of the show #so u can blacklist it #anime #and my friend who is just a complete anime bitch like simply. a weeb. she said-#-that a lot of times animes will play up the popular yaoi pairings in the shows bc it’s good for business #give the fans what they want right lmfao #so I know that in westernized media discussions this would be called Queerbaiting since these pairings are never fully canonized #but tbh it feels less malicious in a sense? like it just seems like….the writers take more care in constructing complex m/m dynamics #in part to attract a yaoi audience yes but like. Idk I appreciate it considering how underdeveloped m/m platonic intimacy is in our media #like. idk it’s a good thing to lean into same-gender intimacy bc it unlocks whole new levels of emotional depth for the characters #aot had less of this than DN but idk….#some of them jeanmarco scenes and erwinlevi scenes had just a touch of homo written on #in*#and let me tell u I am EATING it UP!
