the symbolism in the âL: change the worldâ photoshoot
(also some L childhood headcanons) (TW for dehumanization)
OKAY so i finally got around to finding a download of the âL: change the worldâ photoshoot, and not only is it extremely professional, but just⊠i feel like they really understood Lâs character, because thereâs so much symbolism in some of these photos, man.
like this?
i know exactly what this means just from looking at it.
now obviously, this is all up to speculation, but⊠hereâs my take on this photo.
to start this off, i do believe that L genuinely likes solving cases. i believe itâs one of the only things in the world that engages his mind and keeps him from being depressed and listless 100% of the time.
but if i want to be angsty about it⊠do you think L is imprisoned, in a sense, to solving cases? cause like even if he couldnât handle it anymore (he COULD. in character he could, iâm just saying the following as a realism hypothetical), he couldnât just... stop.
yes, he has successors. but i headcanon that he didnât form that programâ that was all watari. the building for that orphanage is named âthe wammyâs house,â after all. whatever watari did, whatever tactics, intimidation, and pressure he put on L to âhoneâ his detective skills⊠L doesnât want another kid to go through that.
but they are.
and heâs too much of a coward to put an end to it.
and yes, i know, i KNOW that itâs hinted at in-series that no terrible shit happens at the wammyâs house. but have you SEEN this part of the âhow to readâ guidebook???
watari raises kids as detectives. for fun.
for fun.
i do NOT trust this man to be around kids, much less to raise one! he for sure abuses children, whether psychologically or physically (but like⊠in an old man way, like slapping a ruler against a kidâs wrist for a mistake).
for him to qualify as âcultivating kids as detectives,â i can easily imagine him putting child L through rigorous (not to mention relentless) training, to sharpen the mind. like HOURS of training, nonstop.
i think canonically (even if itâs not confirmed), L tends to sits motionlessly in rooms while doing cases due to hyperfocus. but then my brother pitched this one idea and itâs fucked me up.
âwhat if watari didnât give L a chair to sit in while he was training him for hours? because as a kid, when he was sitting in his room, there wasnât a single chair⊠what if L now sits like that all the time because he got used to it?â
.
bruh. D:
ANYWAYS, back on topic!!!
so watari is a wholly terrible person who put a child (L) through terrible mental exercises, right? right, thatâs the headcanon weâre going with.
L is just an experiment. thatâs ALL he is to watari, really. L is his most perfected invention. L has so much TRAUMA from the way watari âââraisedâââ him that his brainâs repressed ALL THE EVENTS. you know?? the conditioning is still hardwired into his system brain. his brain. but he doesnât remember anything else from his childhood.
but whatever happened, L has a feeling that it was bad.
soooooooo, L is now âtrappedâ in his occupation, shackles of guilt and obligation holding him in place. he doesnât want another person to hold an existence similar to his current one. he didnât want that, he wasnât aware of the creation of the wammyâs house, but it happened, and itâs all because he exists. additionally, he canât just quit being L, the worldâs greatest detective, because then who will solve these cases? who will serve justice to the lowest of the low in the world? (tbh a parallel to light and his resolve to become kira đ«ą)
so L being arranged with a dark blue fish, of all things, for the photo (DARK BLUE. THE SAME EXACT FUCKING COLOR AS HIS INTERNAL MONOLOGUE LIGHTING, AAAAAAAAA) holds so much depth. deep down, he feels empathy for it. he understands. itâs not right. itâs not fair. but this is its purpose in this worldâ to sit still for the benefit of others who hold more power over it and its fate. what else can it truly do?
so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
what a haunting image.
(as an aside, watari can be a character with such depth and limitless voids of depravity. follow my blog @fuckyouwatari for more hate posts of this decrepit man, but also iâm making up the headcanons that make me hate him so much lmao. join the âall my homies HATE watariâ fanclub today!~ :D)

Oh my god I love men's hands so much
Vanilla's big, strong hands, have mercy on my soul... Just imagining what his hands would feel like holding mine, running up and down my body, his fingers in my mouth (and elsewhere đ«ą) his hands around my waist, on my hips, rubbing my head... So strong so big, feeling his knuckles and the back of his hands hhrrghhhgghghhh

Hand fetish (though he likes women's hands I like men's hands- and instead of cutting them off, I am also attracted to the man with the sexy hands)
