We've done noses, hair, eyes, and hands, and now we have to do lips! How I imagine Death Note characters' lips look based on photos I found on pinterest
Now I just have to figure out what to do next. Ears, maybe?

re: my holiday fic. it's actually really good that you didn't catch it because it's from L's pov and he was just thinking, "they brought me gifts, that's awesome -> wait... matsuda wants me gone? -> oh no it's just him being him" while it wasn't just about gifts for Aizawa and Matsuda. it was to hear L say that he likes one of them better
in my mind, lawtsudawa (???) is truly just Matsuda and Aizawa competing in pretty much everything (even mundane stuff) just to be the one™️ for him, while L is kinda oblivious, thinking they are just being nice to him or just don't like each other very much. i don't know, but just imagining this makes me happy lmao
OH THAT'S SO INCREDIBLY GOOD, I LOVE IT

🍪anon here! I’m kinda realizing a lot of my thoughts pop out at night for me… and they are usually about “would L do this?” And I think yes, yes he would.
I think L would find people doing trick shots with paper and a trash can stupid (marauds would try this and get reprimanded) but if it’s marshmallow trick shots he would find it entertaining(reader and L are pretty good with these tricks since it passes time)
P.s. you are also my favorite :3
h. yes. most of my thoughts are about L too...
...
...almost got distracted there...
I agree with this!! I'm assuming you mean Matsuda not marauds, and MAN Matsuda would be told off BAD. "A waste of paper. at least throw it in a recycling bin. how on earth are you a detective if this is all you do all day, Matsuda?"
and then less than an hour later Matsu walks in to find reader throwing marshmallows into L's mouth.
🧍🚶🏃
hahahahaha but yeah if they're like, really cool trick shots where L can look at them and go "oh hey physics" I think he'd get a kick out of it sometimes, like if you put em on in the background before bed.. I'm thinking YouTube channels like dude perfect or whatever his name is, not just paper in bin y'know.
and as for marshmallows? gets lowkey upset, no matter how cool the shot, if they're not thrown right into his mouth. or yours. just don't waste the marshmallows, okay Y/N?
such a silly little man.

╾ SELF INTRO
hi, welcome to my bLog! I'm lei (lay), they/them. I'm aroace and autistic. I'm an artist and writer and I'm obsessed with Death Note!
I have an OC for the fandom and if people will listen I will not shut up about her/srs. If you ever ask me about her it will make my day. week. month. She stars in two multichapters, which I'm currently rewriting. Her tag is #desunorie (Rie of Death (Note)) and sometimes #desunorehn. Her AO3 tag is Rie Takamura | Reinette-Rose Descôteaux. Please don't take Rie as a self or reader insert.
I also really like L, as you can probably already tell. I mostly talk about him, Rie, my adventures in writing and drawing, and my various woes and thoughts. So if that sounds interesting, feel free to stick around, and if it makes you upset, feel free to block me — no hard feelings/gen, and better mental health on all sides!
╾ INTERACTION GUIDELINES

late night christmas headcanons with (some) the death note cast!
this post will include: light, l lawliet, misa, matsuda, near, mello, matt & sayu.
Tumblr media
— ' its the most wonderful time of the year ! '
LIGHT YAGAMI ★ [pre/no-kira!]
unsurprisingly, light is a very considerate gift giver. on one hand he tries to get gifts that will be more beneficial in the long run! at the same time he attempts to get something that he knows the person will like.
i can imagine light would be the kind of person to end up scouring the store for something affordable, useful and still likable. (spoiler! he fails to find items that fall into all three categories)
his gift-wrapping is neat. his mother, sachiko, taught him how to wrap gifts at the ripe age of 7. ever since then, he helps her every christmas :)
most items on wish list are stationary, up until little specific things — like a certain keychain or an expensive book.
one of his favourite things about christmas is the cookies that his mom makes. his favourites are (of course) the classic chocolate chip and simple vanilla biscuits.
he used to believe in santa when he was younger until the illusion and magic was ruined for him. as a result, while sayu was still young, he made sure that she'd continue to believe and have something to look forward to every christmas.
one time, he got L for a secret santa activity. he was fully aware that L was already rich. he could have anything he wanted! and so, he decided to make his own gift (with misa's assistance).
L LAWLIET ★
when he was younger, christmas was quite bleak at wammy's. other kids seemed to have fun but he just found himself incredibly uninterested in the holiday.
still, watari would get him gifts — and secretly? he felt appreciated.
years later, the kira task force would somehow find themselves discussing their holiday plans. L had decided to allow everyone to take a few days off (as pushed by his mentor, watari) to celebrate christmas with their families.
matsuda (bless his soul) decides to go ahead and suggest an office christmas party! at first, L is hesitant..
but he accepts. obviously.
with their basically infinite budget, the food is to die for. cakes, ice cream, meats, a few traditional meals from across the world..
secretly, this was L's quiet way of showing his own appreciation to everyone.
now you're probably wondering, 'what are his gifts like?' ... honestly lame. it depends; but for the most part, his gifts rely on practicality.
misa gave him shampoo for christmas once. and deodorant. and slippers. she wasn't trying to be mean, she just thought L didn't know those things existed and she wanted to guide him..
if you aren't upfront on what you want for christmas, he'll give you stationary, socks, utensils, etc.
MISA AMANE ★
misa is serving absolute cunt in that outfit she's wearing. she went all out - went shopping just for this. she's the type to wear little cute scarves, arm warmers, beanies.. and she looks good in them.
her gift giving abilities are god-like for the most part. she shops in advance and asks people for their wish lists
cute gift wrappers!! candy print, little cats, reindeer, hearts, etc. definitely for lights gift: she'd wrap it in hearts! (he did not reciprocate..)
at times, she worries she won't be able to spend christmas with her family (mostly just the task force) due to her modelling and acting career. she has to constantly do photoshoots, film commercials, and it stresses her out.
to make up for it: she drinks hot chocolate. and her hot chocolate is always the cutest. cute mugs, cute marshmallows, etc. but it still tastes good.
she taught sayu how to do her hot chocolate recipe! (it was barely her own recipe, she just adds alot of cute little etuff)
she's the type of gift wrapper to put ribbons on her gifts.
when asked about what she wanted for christmas, she said something cheesy like; 'anything as long as lights there'
TOUTA MATSUDA ★
christmas party planner 4everrrr
buys gifts a few months too early, our considerate king.
draws/doodles on the gift tags! (taught by misa)
he nagged watari to teach him to make cookies. he wanted to make some christmas cookies for L, in hopes that he'd win his apprpval.
wears ugly christmas sweaters a few days before christmas.
and so, this conversation ensued;
L: 'that sweater looks rather old.' Matsu: 'what? no, its barely been used' L: 'ah. it mustve been rotting in your closet.'
loves the concept of santa claus. has tried to make watari dress up as santa.
when he was younger, his parents brought him to talk to santa! by this time, matsuda already new santa claus wasnt real.
and so, he had an existential crisis the moment he realized that there was infact a white haired-white bearded man, clad in red.. and may be his childhood hero.
he liked rudolph alot and for one Halloween, he dressed up as him
NEAR ★
christmas at wammys was especially tiring for him. the children screaming, the sound of wrapping paper ripping being heard throughout the entire orphanage.. wasn't for him!
he didn't have many friends so he never really received any gifts.
his first ever gift was from linda — it meant alot to him. it was a little paper origami doll of him. it was taped horribly.
his family before the orphanage? he couldn't really remember, so along with that, he couldn't remember the christmases they had.
near gives gifts when he can.. by that, when or if he remembers.
his gifts range from socks to an entire mansion. he's not very responsible with his money.
HATES the mistletoe. one time he was under it the same time as mello. did they kiss? no, but mello did chase him around.
now sorta looks forward to christmas because of eggnog and all the toys he gets out of it. he gets ALOT of toys.
he dislikes carollers. he thinks they're too noisy. one time, he and a few other kids were forced to perform a sonf infront of everyone as part of the wammy's christmas party..
he was stood still and stayed quiet the entire time.
MELLO ★
he had alot of items on his wish list. most predominantly; accessories, clothes and of course.. chocolate.
mello is given a LOT of chocolate every christmas — with the exception of near who gave him a toothbrush out of mild concern.
his gifts are the best. by that, he just gets whatever the person wants (but at times gets everything)
mello just wants to be better than everyone when it comes to the gifts. and everything. there's a reasoning behind it, being; from a young age he always thought that if he gave the most and got the most, it would mean that everyone would like him.
there's a secret mostly one sided competition between near, matt and mello every year over who gives and receives the most gifts.
he gets into multiple fights with near, which results in him dumping a glass of eggnog down near's back.
near was not happy with the disgusting feel of wet clothes stuck to his skin. insert him literally SCREAMING
the closest person of authority in the area was giving mello a look of, 'make him stop or so help me'
wears all black to a christmas party with the exception of a red christmas hat
MATT ★
his wishlist is a little expensive, mostly 'cause it's all video game related — and clothes. did he list the clothes? no, mello did, 'cause matt's clothes are starting to fall apart at the seams.
he and mello think the christmas games are lame but they participate anyway. matts always helping mello win.
matt absolutely half asses his gifts! unless you're someone he likes or has a crush on.
lowkey pigs out during the christmas feast. he has fast metabolism so it doesn't really affect his body, but he does receive these wide-eyed looks from mello like 'holy shit you're gonna eat ALL of that?'
sings christmas songs to annoy everyone. definitely.
when he was younger, he wasn't really able to celebrate christmas properly with his family. i headcanon that he got into wammy's at a really young age and that he was there when near first arrived too.
he might not seem like it but he was one of the people (like linda) to try and make christmas a little more happy and sweet for the newcomers/the younger kids in the orphanage. he didn't want them to experience the same dissappointment and upset he felt every christmas when he was still with his family.
matt plays holiday pranks on everyone.
this is contradictory to the headcanon i made before the last, but he once told a random kid on the street santa claus wasn't real and it started crying.
SAYU YAGAMI ★
when she was younger, she'd save up all her allowance so she could buy her family gifts. admittedly — sayu's gifts never really aligned much with whatever was on their christmas lists. but she was so sweet, how could they reject?
sayu once got her and light matching slippers. hers were bunny slippers and his was dog slippers. (based off of this)
she believed santa was real up until the age of 15. she got a little angsty around those years..
her wishlist is mostly things like nail polish, certain percume, journaling books, clothes — but one year she wanted a pet mouse.. so she wrote down mouse.
well, sachiko wasn't a big fan of rodents. so instead she got her a computer mouse. and a new PC to go along with it. sayu liked it! she did want a computer too, yes..
she was salty about the pet mouse thing for the next 2 weeks though.
can't wrap gifts to save her life. she's the gift giver who puts her gifts into those paperbags and puts a ribbon sticker.
sayu loves to bake cookies with her mom. even after the events (yes, when she was traumatized to all hell by mello and the mafia) of death note, she continued to bake with her every christmas.

"Dichotomy" Ch 1- Bokeh
Trial chapter of my Death Note fic! When I first started writing I actually had no idea what I wanted until I was 4 chapters in. Now, I'm having to go back and rewrite everything but chapter 1 is finished and rewritten. I'm just posting it out there to see how it does.
Touta Matsuda x OC fic/ . SLOW BURN. The first chapters are mostly dedicated to setting up the oc (Luna Yagami--yes that's cringe, but I am cringe and free) and her dynamics with the Yagami family. For now, each chapter follows an episode of the anime. I try to stick to the events of the anime as much as possible, but there will (of course) be some deviations.
My first time posting something like this to Tumblr so I apologize if the formatting is off.
Word count: 6, 550+ sorry, I'm a professional yapper.
(Fic start below the cut)
(Divider from: animatedglittergraphics-n-more)
Tumblr media
The gurgling of bubbles sounded in the empty hall as the little air pockets raced upwards towards the empty half of the jug in the water cooler. The man before it flicked the blue tap back down to stop the running water that pooled into the flimsy office paper cup. He could feel the cool of the water seep through the thin cups as he brought the rim to his chapped lips for a refreshing drink after a long day.
“Hey, Chief!”
He heard a call from behind and quickly downed the last drops remaining in the cup to address the colleague calling for his attention.
“What are you still doing here, sir? Didn’t you say one of your kids is flying in? I figured you’d have left early to go meet them.”
The man, or rather Chief Soichiro Yagami, adjusted the glasses that had slipped too far down his nose. His thick dark mustache crinkled in slight discomfort and the older man quickly wiped the remaining water droplets that clung to it. 
“Yes, that’s right. Luna, my eldest.” Chief Yagami nodded in confirmation and discarded the cup in the small trash can that sat next to the hallway water cooler. The paper cup clunked and the plastic trash bag rustled as gravity wrenched the cup down. 
“This is her last flight in, probably, and she wanted to do it alone.”
“‘Last flight in?’ Didn’t she graduate in May?”
The chief nodded again, and turned his attention to the window. It was dark out, and from the light inside, the window could pass as more of a mirror. The sun always set quicker during the fall months, November was no different. 
“She did, but wanted her last summer off. She’s been back and forth between moving her stuff back and, ‘tying up loose ends’ as she put it before coming back home for good. Though, knowing her, I don’t see this as the end of her wanderlust tendencies. Nothing would keep her from that, not even a job could tie her down.”
“Not even a man?” The colleague snickered, but the Chief never took kindly to such types of jokes. The colleague’s snickers quickly stopped by the Chief’s unimpressed glare and he nervously coughed. 
“Right, so…. You mentioned she’s flying in alone. Aren’t you worried for her safety? It’s only 6 in the afternoon and it’s already dark out. Bad people like to prowl around when the sun’s gone.”
“Luna can handle herself,” Yagami threw one last glance at the sky out of the window. A blinking light in the distance slowly descended. A flight–not necessarily Luna’s, she’d already informed that she likely wouldn’t be landing until the early hours of the morning. But the Chief liked to imagine that it was Luna’s flight anyways, safely returning home. Finally, Soichiro Yagami turned and headed towards the exit, finishing that sentence, mostly to himself, “I’ve made sure of that.”
꧁ ༺ ⚰︎ ༻ ꧂
Lights flickered on in the dark cabin, much to the annoyance of some sleeping passengers who groaned at having their sleep disturbed. Luna, for one, felt like she was flashbanged from the sudden intrusion burning into her retinas, leaving her surroundings slightly blurry as she rapidly blinked. She mussed the bangs of her wolf cut styled hair as the speakers overhead once again crackled to life with a cheery voice floating from them, “Good morning, passengers, this is your pilot speaking. You’ll be pleased to hear that we will be landing shortly in Tokyo. The current local time is 2 am, so good news, you’ll be ahead of the morning traffic rush.” 
The little blue seatbelt icons above each seat row illuminated with a soft ‘ding,’ as the pilot continued his landing speech, “Now, I must ask that passengers and flight attendants alike prepare for landing. Please, return to your seats, ensure you and your young ones are securely buckled, and check that all bags and carry-on items are in their designated areas. Once everything is checked off your to-do list, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the night scenery of the city as we provide you with the smoothest landing possible.”
The seemingly harsh lights continued to stay on for a few moments to let everyone get their things in order, before eventually turning off again to give the passengers their peace in the landing process.The roar of the engines and high winds were muffled by the many protective layers of the plane’s walls. Muffled even more so by the headphones lodged in Luna’s ears blasting music to drown out some of the noise. Her neck burned from the odd angle her head had been laying in, in the cramped plane seat. She raised her head with a pained seethe, and tried to massage the kink out as best as she could and checked around herself. All her carry-on items were still there and accounted for, and she’d been lucky that none of them slipped around while she had taken an impromptu nap. 
Just as she’d hoped, the rest of the landing went by smoothly. Walking off the plane with a yawn, and her carry-on items in tow, as she made her way out of the boarding tunnel, into the hub, and followed the signs for the trek towards baggage claim. Before her flight, Luna had assured her parents not to worry about picking her up from the airport considering how late she’d be getting back, not to mention she had two younger siblings back at home that needed attention in the morning, and Luna didn’t feel the need to take away from that. After hauling her luggage from the baggage claim carousel, Luna rolled out, flagging one of the cabs at the curb, and providing the driver instructions on where to go. Once situated in the cab, Luna fished a small camera out of her bag, pointed it towards the rolled up window, and began taking photos of the passing street life. Planes didn’t allow cameras to have batteries during flight as it was considered a possible flammable or combustible hazard, so she had to wait until landing and visiting an airport shop before she could resume any photo taking. Luna doubted she’d get many interesting shots this early in the morning, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to try. After all, of every photo group you take, only about 20% of the shots turn out decent or acceptable. 
Luna Yagami, photography and journalism student and eldest daughter of the Yagami’s returning home after spending her college education in America. Now for the not-so-fun part: Job Searching. Luna huffed at the thought. Soft clicks of the shutter sounded in the back of her cab as she pressed the button. At least she still had some days left to take it easy. Which also meant she could brag about it to her younger siblings, Light and Sayu who still had several years worth of getting up early for school while she could have a nice sleep in. 
Luna grinned to herself at the thought, and safely returned the camera back to its designated pocket in her bag when she noticed the car was getting closer to her home. Once the cab pulled to a stop in front of her driveway, the driver stepped out along with her to assist in removing her bags from the car. Luna graciously paid her dues, thanked the driver, and made her way into the home. She was relieved to see the spare key was sitting in the usual hiding spot, and used it to unlock the door, quietly letting herself in. Her bleary eyes noticed the nearby clock read that it was around 4 am now as she dragged her stuff in and shut and locked the front door. 
“Luna, is that you? Did you get home okay?” A soft, but masculine voice quietly called from the kitchen.
 ‘That’s right, Dad always gets up at this time to get ready for work.’ Luna remembered. Who knew being gone from family for so long she’d forget routines that had once felt so normal. She noticed that the kitchen light had in fact been on the whole time. If she weren't so exhausted she’d have noticed it sooner. 
“Yeah, Dad–” A yawn cut her off as she removed her shoes at the Genkan, and slugged inside leaving her bags by the door to grab later, “S’ me.” 
The warm face of an older man peered out from behind the wall. His short brown hair was styled neatly, brown eyes shined behind glasses, and a full mustache covered his lips, but the crease of crows feet told there was a smile underneath. “Welcome home, sweetie, I got up not too long ago and figured you’d be here about this time.” He greeted, quietly, there were still other members of the house sleeping after all. It was common for the older man, Soichiro Yagami, to be up at this ungodly hour. The guy worked as the Chief detective superintendent of Japan’s National Police Agency, after all and crime slept for no one. Soichiro rounded the kitchen entryway and welcomed the tired Luna tightly in his arms, causing her spine to crack like a glowstick from the strong hold,“You go ahead and head on up to sleep. I’ll leave a note for your mother that you’re here so as not to disturb you. You can greet Light and Sayu later in the afternoon when they get home from school, sound good?”
Luna could only nod in response, and finally took in a gulp of air, after her father released her from his tight grip and gave a hearty slap to her shoulder. The trip was long, and being back in the safe familiarity of her home was only proving to add to her sleepiness. He bent down to press a tender parental kiss to the top of his daughter’s hair, “Alright, go ahead and go on up and get you some rest. I’ll see you later, I need to start heading to the office.” He finally let Luna go and stepped to the side as she stumbled up the dark steps, half heartedly grunting to his worried call about, ‘not falling down the stairs.’  Soichiro went ahead and moved her bags out of the doorway and to the side in the hall so no one would trip on them. 
Luna stumbled through the door of her old bedroom not even sparing a glance at all the packing boxes and temporary storage stashed throughout haphazardly. It was a miracle honestly that she hadn’t tripped before making it over to her bedside. On her nightstand sat a digital clock, the dim lighting shined, ‘4:06 AM.’ The low light of the clock was still too much of a disturbance to her and so, in an exhaustion-induced frustration, Luna wrenched the plug from the wall outlet before collapsing on top of the bed to finally pass out. 
By the time Luna woke once more, the sun was attempting to break through the curtains. She grumbled and shifted around to dig through the pockets of her cargo pants. Now that her brain was waking up, she realized she never changed out of her flight clothes– comfortable sage colored safari shorts, with a black half-sleeved and loose-fitting button down. Finally grabbing hold of her cherry red slide phone, Luna pulled it out from her bacl pocket and checked the small screen for the time. The little phone charm shaped like a bat clinked with the movement. She huffed when it read, ‘11:15 AM,’ and went to literally roll off the bed, stopping before she actually fell off of it, and hoisting herself to sit upright with a dramatic grunt that didn’t match the minimal effort to do so. Yawning, she forced herself up, and headed out the bedroom door and down the hall for a quick use of the bathroom, before finally venturing downstairs once more. She hadn’t bothered with her appearance in the mirror so when Luna, half-stumbled down the stairs, her hair was nearly sticking out in all directions. 
At the foot of the stairs, she heard an amused laugh at the side and turned her head to sheepishly smile back at the older woman in a mulberry colored shirt who spotted her. “So, the little bat is finally up. I assume your flight went well?” 
‘Little bat,’ a nickname Luna gained after her favorite childrens’ book, ‘Stellaluna.’ Over the years she’d received a handful of bat related nicknames by friends and family, given her namesake, but her parents always stuck with versions of, ‘little bat.’ Luna scoffed at the old childish nickname, but still held a slight fondness for it as she still grinned and went to hug her waiting mother, Sachiko Yagami. 
“Yeah, I’m good.” Luna affirmed, taking in the small gradual changes in decor of the home that she missed in her absence, “It’s nearly lunch, so naturally, I’m assuming that everyone is gone for the day?” 
Sachiko nodded and steered the young woman towards the kitchen and sat her down, “Yes, but let’s focus on you right now, I’m sure you’re starving. You’re lucky, I just started on lunch.” 
Luna’s eyes lit up and stomach growled at the mention of food. The last thing she remembered eating were the snacks provided by the flight attendants on the plane about 6 hours prior.
“Food sounds so good right about now, I’ll take anything,” Luna whined, shooting up out of her seat to help her mother prepare the lunch in hopes it would go quicker. Sachiko, amused at her eldest daughter’s enthusiasm, shook her head, “Go ahead and grab something from the fridge to hold you over for a bit. I don’t need you falling out on me on your first day back.”
Luna dashed for the fridge, the chair screeching as it scooted out. She wrenched the fridge door open, ignoring her mother’s scolds to, ‘be gentle,’ and rummaged through the drawers. Much to her dismay, she forgot that this was an ingredient based household, and so she grabbed some items to make herself a quick sandwich. 
Once that was said and done, Luna had a little extra boost in energy to help her mother with making lunch, Miso Soup, Luna’s favorite and quick to make in a bind. 
“You want to head to the store with me? We need some stuff for dinner tonight, and I figured getting you out of the house would help tire you out from waking up so late in the day. You’ll have to get used to the time zone quickly.” 
Sachiko offered, stirring the cooking broth in the pot. 
Luna beamed at the idea, “Mm- yeah!” She paused as she stole a quick taste test from the pot and nearly burned her tongue in her over eagerness. It had been a while since she had a hearty meal, surviving on mostly cheap prepackaged foods in her dorm.
“I also learned some new food recipes from my roommates. America has a whole wide variety of cuisine and I’d love to share my favorites with you all while I’m here.”
Sachiko thought for a moment trying to lightly swat Luna from stealing anything else, “I don’t think your father and I would like it too much, but Sayu and Light might be more open to trying foreign foods.” Luna didn’t mind, she’d take any chance she could get to get some more bonding in with her younger siblings now that she spent most of the last few years oceans away. 
“How have they been doing, by the way? I heard Light’s an honor student.” Luna questioned and couldn’t help the slight pang of jealousy at how Sachiko immediately brightened for her son and his achievements. Luna was eight years older than Light, and as much as she had accomplished in her life, she never had been an honor student. Sure, she got good grades growing up, but found that she didn’t care much for academics, and went on to choose the path of the arts instead. While her parents supported her decision, she knew they were always just ever so slightly disappointed in it, and held Light on a higher pedestal for going the route of academics. Luna couldn’t exactly blame them though for her own wayward decisions she, herself, had made. Despite it all, even Luna couldn’t deny that Light was a smart kid, and she had no doubt that he’d be a part of something greater than himself one day. 
Luna and Sachiko would continue some idle chatter of catching up while the soup finished, that continued on into when it was finished and time to eat it. “Go ahead and get yourself ready then,” Sachiko, glanced at the clock on the stove, ‘12:28.’ 
“If that time is still to be trusted, we only have a few hours before everyone gets home. If we want everything ready, we need time to grab the stuff from the store and start preparing.” 
Luna didn’t need to be told twice. Gulping the last of the soup down, she was already up the stairs before it even had the chance to hit her stomach. She quickly got herself showered, dried, hygiened, teeth brushed, styled, and dressed in record time, before leaping back down the steps. Her mother shook her head at such excited behavior at her big age. Autumn was cold in Tokyo, at least to Luna, and so she tried to keep the clothing warm. Now, clad in pants, and sporting a generic band tee and buttoned jacket, Luna met her mom at the door to get her shoes on. 
“You aren't bringing your camera with you?” Sachiko questioned, before turning the knob on the door. 
Luna threw her hands on her hips in thought before shrugging and shaking her head. There was a time and place for everything, and even though she was always one to lug one around and document everything she saw, Luna recognized that right now, she and her mom were on a time crunch for shopping and dinner preparations. She still had plenty of time left to get her own things done. “I can do that later. For now, I’m much more interested in seeing what’s changed since I’ve been gone.” 
꧁ ༺ ⚰︎ ༻ ꧂
When the two women returned home, they only had an hour left before Light and Sayu would return home. To Luna, it was perfect timing, but Sachiko fretted over not having enough time to prepare an after school meal for them. They sat in the kitchen unpacking the items from the bags, or rather, Luna took care of that task while Sachiko began to gather the items as needed to cook. 
“They both need their brain food for excellent performance, Light especially.” Sachikio had said, grabbing some tomatoes to chop. Luna shrugged at that and assisted her mom whenever she could. During the shopping trip, Luna had snuck some snacks out for herself. Luna normally didn’t mind sharing with her siblings, but she was particular about chocolate and didn’t want Sayu stealing it. Stashing one bar in the pocket of her jacket, and quickly dipped away to hide the rest in her room immediately after unloading the last of the groceries. Soon after, the door slammed open and Luna heard the rapid thudding of feet. Luckily, she had already made it back to the kitchen at that point.
“They’re home early.” Sachiko murmured to herself happily.
“Bats is back! Bats is back!” A shrill excited voice cheered from the hall. Luna barely had any time to prepare herself before being barreled into by a giggling slightly smaller figure. It was none other than Sayu, her little sibling of fourteen. There was a significant age gap between the sisters, Luna having turned twenty-two in the winter, but there certainly wasn’t much of a height gap. Luna was sure within the next few years, both of her siblings would be taller than her. Hell, Light had already surpassed her height before she started high school. Now that she thought about it, she did stop growing once she reached 13, forever stuck at 5 feet tall. (But she felt 5’ 9” on a good day.)
“Careful, Sayu, Bats’ got rabies, remember?” Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Of the three siblings, Light and Sayu looked the most alike, both sporting the same shade of brown hair and eyes, with some variations in hairstyles and face shape. Sayu looked like any teenage girl with her long dark brown hair and dark eyes, Light on the other hand, had lighter shades of brown for his hair and eye color, not to mention his hair was medium length.
Light finally entered the room after Sayu, and flashed Luna a teasing grin after just calling her diseased. Only a brother could show his love in such a backhanded way. 
“I’ll show you rabies!” Luna challenged and set Sayu to the side before booking it towards Light and tackling him to the ground. Light’s eyes flashed in slight fear in the split second before she threw him to the ground, grabbing his arm and pinning it to his back before they hit the floor, a self-defense move their father had taught her. She noticed he was weirdly protective of his school bag, but that thought was soon shoved away in her efforts to keep him down. 
“Get off!” Light huffed and struggled, but made no real move to actually fight back, just doing the bare minimum of shoving her off–which only served to annoy Luna since it made the sibling fight less fun, especially since she knew he perfectly had the strength to. He was an athlete, a star tennis player for his school after all. Not to mention all the Yagami children had learned some self-defense techniques from their father. Perks of an authority figure parent that cared for his children.
“I haven’t shown you my rabies yet!” Luna declared before pulling the ultimate move of gurgling and pretending to dribble spit on him. 
“Augh! Why do you have to be so gross!” Light complained as Sayu giggled in the back cheering on her older sister, “Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! His reign has gone on long enough!”
But as soon as the fun started, it was over just as quick with Sachiko coming to scold them. “Luna! Light! Honestly! The both of you are too old for roughhousing, you’re supposed to be setting the example for Sayu.” 
“I didn’t do anything!” Light grumbled before finally shoving off Luna, but he still helped her up afterwards, despite her being the instigator. While Sachiko’s back was turned, Luna took the opportunity to grab Light in a headlock, and ruffle his hair a bit before finally letting him go, much to Sayu’s enjoyment. 
“I’m heading upstairs to study,” He sighed, and tried to fix his hair, but Luna didn’t miss the small smile on his face as he ducked away to the stairwell. He wouldn’t outright admit it, but she knew he was happy for her to be back, even if she was still annoying. Things were a little boring without her around. 
꧁ ༺ ⚰︎ ༻ ꧂
Later on, Sachiko sent Sayu to deliver Light a small snack up to Light’s room for ‘brain food,’ and when the youngest returned, she and Luna went to sit in the living room for TV entertainment. Nearly three hours went by and at 6 in the afternoon, Luna noticed that their father still wasn’t home yet. Before she could ask about it, an emergency broadcast interrupted their show and began detailing a hostage situation at a Daycare. 
“Well that explains where he’s likely at,” she muttered, “Sayu, turn it up some more!” She ordered from where she lounged on the couch. Sayu was sitting on the floor by the coffee table working on homework, and therefore closest to the TV—which in the sibling world translated to it being her job so the furthest one can stay comfortable. 
“Lazyass.” Sayu whispered under her breath, before complying, but feeling a bit petty, she turned the volume knob lower instead. 
“Sayu!” Luna fussed, and sat up quickly. 
“I was just joking, geez, Bats!” Sayu grumbled, and finally turned the volume higher. She sat back at the low table, but this time her full attention was focused on the broadcast with Luna. 
The face of the offender briefly showed on screen where Sayu chuffed and pointed at him, “I’ve never seen a man so ugly, no wonder he’s committing crimes.” 
Luna gaped at her sister’s sass, “Sayu!” She scolded for their mom to hear in the other room, but then leaned in closer to whisper, “You’re not wrong though,” and nudged the younger sister in good nature with her foot, purely to annoy further, before their squabble quit as quickly as it had begun. Both were far too invested in the developing story, to be occupied with getting on the other’s nerves. The news reporter spoke nervously about the grim events of the trapped civilians and children supposedly held hostage, before surprise soon took over. The cameraman panned to the entrance as multiple teachers and children fled out of it, completely safe and unharmed as the special forces rushed ahead. 
“—We now have confirmation! The suspect has been found dead inside!” The reporter shouted. Luna and Sayu were glued to the TV at the complete 180 turn of events. According to the new, LIVE information, the suspect keeled over from a heart attack and died on the spot, allowing the victims to safely escape. 
“Damn,” Luna whistled, falling back to rest on the backrest cushion of the couch after sitting on the edge of her seat, “What’re the chances, huh Sayu?”
The broadcast droned on in the background as Sachiko Yagami emerged from the kitchen to call from the bottom of the stairwell, “Light! It’s nearly 6:30, you know. Don’t you have cram school tonight?” 
Light answered back in a muffled affirmation that he’d be leaving soon. Despite Luna’s outward nonchalance, she was slightly worried about her younger brother going out so late, especially with what just happened literally minutes ago. She knew he was technically nearing adulthood by this point, but she couldn't help it. She might be rowdy, but she was still the oldest, practically the third, back-up parent, and still fretted over the safety of her siblings. No matter how old they got, they were still hers to look after and protect.
Luna turned her to face the stairs from the couch when she heard Light stepping down. “Light, you want me to walk you to class?” She offered, in a teasing manner that she never really could shake to show her true worries. 
“I have it handled.” She frowned at that response, and decided to turn dramatic. 
“What? Embarrassed that your much cooler older sister will make you look lame in front of all your friends?”
“I’m not a kid any more, I don’t need to be walked anywhere. Plus, you stopped being ‘cool,’ years ago. Not to mention your knees creak when you crouch down to pick something off the ground, grandma.”
Luna knew he was only throwing back her same sass, but it still miffed her a little. She moved swiftly to jump over the back of the couch and grabbed him in another headlock, of which he, again, only mildly fought back against. “17 or not, you’re still my baby brother! Look at that baby face!” She squeezed his cheeks harshly with her free hand as he flailed from her grasp.
“Stop, you lunatic! Mom! Tell her to quit! She’s messing up my hair.” 
Just further proved her point, he still called for mom when backed into a corner.
“Luna, quit antagonizing your brother, you're too grown for this behavior.” Sachiko, fussed at her unruly daughter. “He’ll be late if we hold him back any more.”
“He called me old!” Luna cried in defense, but still let Light go for him to grumble and fix his now slightly frumped appearance. Sachiko Yagami sighed, “Why don’t we make a compromise? He’ll walk there by himself, there is still some light outside after all, and when it ends you can walk him back home?” That seemed to satisfy both siblings and Light was finally dismissed to leave, giving Sayu a quick goodbye as well.
“Get good grades or I'm kicking your ass!” Luna had completely forgone cram school in her teens, so she had no idea how it really worked, she just wanted to support her brother in the only way she knew–affectionate aggression. 
“You’d kick my ass anyways.” Light mumbled before shutting the door, officially ending the conversation.
“Luna, language! Sayu is present.”
“Sorry.” By this point in life, Luna only shrugged off stern chiding from her mother like water rolled off a duck’s back. Instead, she turned her attention back to Sayu, “Hurry up and finish your homework already! I wanna go get some dango with you!” That incentive surely excited the young girl, who finished it quickly and ran to throw her shoes on. Sachiko only shook her head as she watched her two girls practically bolt for the door and slam it shut in their excitement for a sweet treat. She was the parent, she had to be stern on them, but a part of her was thankful for such lively energy to be back. The house was too quiet with the kids gone, even when her husband, Soichiro finally returned, and when followed shortly by the energetic girls, the home brightened once more. 
꧁ ༺ ⚰︎ ༻ ꧂
8:00 PM rolled around, Sayu had already been sent to bed for school in the morning and Luna set out of the house to go greet her brother, leaving slightly early so that she’d have time to find it and not be late. Before leaving, her father had provided two extra defense ‘weapons’: bear pepper spray and a stun gun. He’d long ago taught her defense fighting techniques, he was an officer after all and always worried for her safety since she was an unfortunate easy target for her height and gender. Luna threw on an old belt to fasten them to, and waved him off as she headed out. 
At the building that held Light’s cram school, Luna waited by one of the building’s concrete pillars at the entrance. She felt relatively comfortable letting her guard down. The area was well-lit, and there were plenty of other people waiting like her, likely to pick up someone inside they knew, so the chances of anything bad happening were low–or so she hoped. 9:00 finally hit, and it took a few moments before students started to pour out of the front doors and spread out into the sidewalk. Some went ahead down the sidewalks to walk to their destination, but even with the area thinning out Luna knew it’d still be difficult for Light to find her in the sea of people, so she grabbed her bright red phone and waved it over her head like a flag. Luckily, Light noticed the gesture, more likely the bright color of her cell phone, and made his way over to her. 
“Dammit, my mom’s so useless! She’s never here to pick me up on time!” Luna overheard a kid’s annoyed grumblings from the corner. She pushed off the pillar and set to walking with Light when he reached her and they set off back towards home. Once she felt they were out of earshot, she nudged his shoulder, “Yeesh what a brat, right?” But she stopped when she noticed that Light wasn’t entertaining her jokes. In fact, he’d made no motion that he’d heard her at all. He looked like he was on edge about something and Luna felt a bit panicked that she had set him off somehow. 
‘Good going Luna, you haven’t been back for a full 24 hours and you’ve already fucked things up by being an asshole to him all day.” 
Little did she know, the real reason he was on edge. Luna tried to think of how she could get back on her brother’s good side and remembered she still had one emergency chocolate bar in her jacket pocket from the store run earlier in the day. Stifling a grin, she slightly turned her torso away to hide her creation, but Light made no notice that she was even doing anything in the first place. Luna took out the chocolate bar, unwrapped it, and fiddled with the bars for a bit, breaking them into triangular pieces and wedging them onto her canines. Then she turned back to face him, arching her hands above her with waggled fingers, and made hissing noises, “Ah am Vlad Dracula and I’ve come tho sthuck yor blood! ooohoh” 
Luna couldn’t speak well with the chocolate stuck to her teeth and she was certainly drooling all over her face because of it, but the embarrassment was worth it for she finally seemed to break through Light’s trance. Luna felt pride as he cracked a smile at her, and lightly punched her arm, “You look more like Count Chocula,” he snorted. 
But that smile and acknowledgement was enough for Luna, and so she quickly worked to swallow the chocolate stuck to her teeth and tried to clean up her face with her long sleeve. 
“Look,” she turned serious again now that she had his attention, “I’m not good with the whole feelings thing Light, you know that. I hope I didn’t piss you off earlier today.”
But she was surprised that he shook his head at her, “Pissed off? No. Annoyed? Yes, but not angry with you. School’s just a lot and I’ve got a lot of pressure.” 
Luna winced inwardly, she knew that she was never a star student in school. Then, after her perceived ‘failure,’ of choosing a further education in arts school and journalism instead of following the path of criminal justice or academics, she had greatly disappointed her parents. While their father has seemed more forgiving about her choice lately, maybe even slightly hoping she’ll possibly use her photography degree to join in crime scene photography, their mother was still a bit upset about it. As a result, all the pressure to be perfect in academics was thrust on to Light–the second oldest. She knew Light hadn’t meant his words in that way, he never blamed her for it, but she was the oldest and was always made the example of growing up. Light often heard the whispered conversations, more like arguments, their parents had during and after Luna’s unruly highschool experience. They saw Light as the one to effectively carry the mantle of the Yagami name, instead of Luna; and it was even more likely he carried that pressure so that Sayu wouldn’t have those same over-bearing expectations too. 
Luna may have gone from the, ‘golden child,’ to the ‘black sheep,’ of the family, but to Light, she was still family, his older sister that came up with the fun games to entertain him, and always had his back. Then when Sayu came around, she taught him how to be a caring older sibling as well. Light felt like he could always go to Luna when he had troubles of any kind. But now, he was also getting older and needed to figure out his own way. 
Passing by a convenience store, Luna heard the roar of motorcycles headed their way. Usually, she wouldn’t have paid any mind to motorcyclists until the three motorbikes stopped on the corner across from them and started harassing a woman. 
“Unbelievable,” Luna mumbled, preparing to grab her mace and stun gun to run over and help. As soon as her hand drew back her jacket to grab them, Light gripped her upper arm instead, effectively halting her movements. Luna nearly rounded on him for interrupting when she noticed a strangely dark but pleading look in his eyes, “Please, don’t get involved, you’d only get yourself hurt.” 
He spoke lowly to her, which only pissed her off more, but before she could mouth off her sibling for interfering, he angled his head in the direction of the convenience store. “We can call the police in there, but I’m not letting you try to take on three guys that are twice your height and weight.”
Luna was sure smoke was poring out of her by this point, but a part of her knew he was right in a sense, even though everything in her was screaming to sprint across the road to electrocute the fuckers. Now, it was Luna’s turn to grab Light’s arm and she dragged him inside the store while she whipped out her slide phone to dial the authorities with record speed. “Hello? Dispatcher? Yes, I’m reporting an assault on an adult female at–” Luna hurried to give the person on the other line as much information as calmly she could. Her gaze was completely fixed on the situation outside while she gave a location, not paying any mind to Light who pretended to browse the magazines in the store behind her. 
To Luna’s mild ease, the woman broke away and made a dash for the street ahead, only for one of the motorcyclists to try to follow, and be launched by a truck t-boning him in the process. Luna froze on the spot, eyes wide, mouth agape, and she felt her stomach drop at what she just saw. Bystanders outside cried out in similar shock and in Luna’s brief horror, she briefly forgot she was speaking to someone on the phone.
“–ello? Miss, are you alright? Can you tell me any more?” The dispatcher prompted.
Luna finally jumped out of her stupor, she had no idea how long she’d left them hanging, “Um yes, okay. There’s been a slight change of events.” She was shocked to hear how shaky her own voice had become.
Luna continued to finish her report and stayed frozen in her spot even when the dispatcher had hung up. The bright red flip phone clenched in her hand, as she willed her body to stop trembling. She couldn’t hear anything save for blood roaring in her ears, until the sirens finally arrived, and effectively snapped her out of it. It was then she remembered Light and that she had no idea where he was. 
‘Luna, you idiot. In these situations he and Sayu are your first priorities always!’ Luna mentally chided herself as she spun and frantically searched for her younger brother. To her ease, he was down the aisle still safe and sound, if not seemingly a bit shaken up like she was. 
The drone of the dial tone reminded her that she never hung up her end of the line. Pressing the red button a little more forcefully than intended, she shoved the phone back in her pocket and approached Light, not wanting to spook him. Gently, she reached up to place her hand on the shoulder of her taller, yet younger brother. Luna tried to hide the shake in her voice as she spoke, after all, she had to be the strong one here, “Come on, go pick out a treat for yourself, I’ll pay.”

END CHAPTER Notes:  ‘Bokeh’- While the term is Japanese, the trend likely originated in America in the late 1990s. Derived from the Japanese word, ‘Boke,’ it roughly translates to blur or haze. In photography, Bokeh is the stylistic choice of an effect that will create a soft, out-of-focus background, with a narrow depth of field. The aesthetic quality varies from artist to artist, but they can choose to blur the foreground, background, or both of an image.
THERE WE GO CHAPTER 1
Ramble time:
I LOVE character x reader fics, my only gripe with them though is that in order to make them appeal to everyone (bc it's a reader fic) I find that they often have little to no personalities and as a result, sometimes if feels they don't have interactions with characters that fit. Not every one of them are like that, in fact I've read several bangers, but only after filtering a few hundred before getting to one that vibes with me. I've been reading them since 2014, I got a phd in it at this point.
So that's why I've moved to oc fics because I just find that I'm able to enjoy it a bit more actually. Anyways, I hope you all can grow to enjoy Luna.
See ya 🫶

Re:dn?
For the WIP asks
Hi anon! Thanks for the ask. Re:dn is my succinctly named WIP and it lives permanently in my head, peeking it's not-so-little head out every once in a while. Not-so-little because every time I remember, I keep adding to it. And the fic, intended to be a short 5k one-shot, just.doesn't.end. It's at 17k now, more than thrice it's expected length. I've given up on ending this monster. I love it, so alas, it'll keep being written and written and written in my drafts. Maybe I will post it, maybe I won't.
Re:dn is about Light getting reincarnated in a peaceful world. He is pretty happy with his new life. Unfortunately for him, he isn't the only one reincarnated. The rest of the main death note characters are reincarnated as well. And they aren't very happy with Kira.
Starring Light "what is Kira? Is it tasty?" Yagami, L "I will get you to confess. Your feelings <3" Lawliet, Misa "date me, senpai!" Amane, Mikami "this life is a reward for my service to God" Teru, Matsuda "I'll make sure you stay on the right path this time" Touta. Plus several others, who aren't here because it would clutter the paragraph.
Snippet below the cut.
Light was born on the 28th of February, year unknown. His parents weren’t Soichiro and Sachiko Yagami. They were utterly ordinary people in ordinary jobs. He was not an only child either. Light had a father, a mother, a younger sister, grandparents on both sides of the family and a lot of cousins. It was a large, extended family.
His parents worried when Light woke up screaming in the middle of the night. They worried even more when Light froze at sight of the plastic water-guns his cousins pointed at him and refused to come out of the closet till they were all gone. His parents, unlike his parents Before, got him the professional help he had never had. After-all, how was Light to explain he had been imprisoned under the suspicion of being Kira and his own father had fired an air gun at him at close range? Despite being his father? Despite understanding the danger of even blank shots at close range?
And in this new life, Light couldn’t explain it either. They could ask questions all they wanted, but Light had no answers for them. But something had to be done, something had to change. His parents couldn’t take the suffering of their child anymore, and Light couldn’t either. As an adult, he could pop pills for sleep as and when needed and needed to give no one any explanation – except occasionally his doctor for a prescription. As a child? This was dangerous for his health and sanity.
So, Light took advantage of being a child. Slowly, he opened up to the doctor his parents had arranged and talked about things from his past life as if they were dreams. 
Things could have gone wrong. They could have gone so, so wrong. The doctor could have labeled Light as a psychopath of some sort. He could have had Light been declared insane, his parents would then abandon him and this new life would be over even before it had begun.
Instead, his leap of faith was successful. His words were taken as the overactive imagination of a child. Of a genius child, who took in more of the world at a young age than his parents would have expected, and that had resulted in unintentionally traumatizing him.
Talking about it… helped. In ways more than Light had thought. Things he had never realized were wrong, feelings he had never realized he had buried, insecurities, fears, dreams, ideals…
It also helped that Light had realized his new world was more peaceful than Before. Crime was low, corruption was low, wars were few. Not non-existent, never that. But significantly lower than… than Before.
In this new world, Kira was not needed.

Nov 5th, 2007
L Lawlit falls to the ground, dead with a notification telling people closest to everyone in the world as much... The notification eventually reaches the US during Nov 7th of 2007
Soichiro Yagami: "But still, it's impossible for us to censor everything on the internet, and we haven't had any new leads in a while."
Touta Matsuda: "But posting names and faces online? I'm sorry, but if you ask me, it's the people doing that who deserve to die! But... I guess that'll never happen since Kira gets a lot of his information from the internet, so he's not going to kill those people..."
Misa: "Matsuda, you silly! You've got it all backwards!"
Light Yagami: "Still, I can imagine how some people must feel... To them, life had become a good place with a lack of crime-" Ryuk lets out a chuckle as a knock on the door can be heard
Light lets out a sigh as he says, "I'll get it." Light opens the door... ???: "Are you Light Yagmagi? The man who took over the Kira case after the death of L?" Light: "That would be me, yes." ???: "I wish to join the case if that's alright, the name's Lieutenant Columbo and I'm with the LAPD."

How would Touta Matsuda react to finding out his s/o was slowly dying of an incurable disease that had also caused them to go blind?
Due to the nature of this request I have placed it under a cut which may not work on mobile. Should things like the above affect you, please consider skipping this post.
Reader death.
Matsuda would be as strong as he could for his s/o. Oh, he’d use his connections to get the best doctors to look after you, to monitor your condition, to keep him updated on ways he can make you as comfortable as possible. He would work on making your home as safe as it can be for someone who has gone or is going blind, and he’d pull multiple shifts on top of each other to be able to get the money to do all these things. He’d exhaust himself physically so that the emotional challenges aren’t quite so vivid.
He’d be as strong as he could to your face, but he’d be a wreck behind you. He’d be sobbing so hard he’s nearly screaming in Soichiro’s arms, the elder man’s jaw set as he tries to breathe through his own distress. Matsuda would do his best, as he always does, to love you every day that you get together so much that when your condition finally gets the better of you, you felt a lifetime of his love in a short time.

alike to you, i have my own death note oc :D if it's okay, would you tell us more about yours? i'm genuinely curious how they fit into the story and their role in it altogether.
Miss Rie // 1429
keyo I'm going to squeeze you like a stress ball or something you're awesome and you better tell us all about your oc?!?!? :DD and it is SO okay rr I'm gonna ramble. cw torture mention, mental health issues, manipulation and other such traits.
 ★━━─・‥…━━━☆
Relationships, Lore So Far, Personality, Strengths, Weaknesses, Trivia
Relationships
She's aligned with Team L!! of course dnsjhd
Rie and L have a funny relationship because they've worked together for a while and seem close but aren't together (as far as the TF know at least. I'm not sure yet to what degree her relationship with L has progressed at the time the anime is set). but everyone who meets them goes: "a girl in love and a man who's apathetic"
She actually likes Light a lot, because he's a nice guy, when he's not Kira. would be friends with him in another life.
When it comes to 「Kira」 whoever they may be, she dislikes but understands them. She knows that there are problems in the world and a lot of them stem from "evil people", but she doesn't really believe in purely evil people, and also realises that Kira's methods are counterproductive.
Rie does NOT get along with Misa. she can tolerate her but only in small doses. She's always kind to her, though this is mostly so she can try to get information out of her.
As for the rest of the Task Force: Likes them all. She never met Ukita though cause she introduces herself a while after L does in my current plan. Thinks Matsuda is a little naïve and Chief Yagami is blinded by his love for his son.
At the moment I'm thinking Rie isn't an orphan but lived somewhere near Wammy's House when she was little. She loooves annoying Near, Matt and Mello.
Lore So Far
there's a lot of unrefined stuff, what I have here is likely to change
I mentioned beforehand she works with L for a few years before the Kira case. she actually spent a lot of her life tracking him down, basically just to play with him/annoy him because... she's just an ass like that. So eventually she was able to contact him and they played a Game of cat and mouse, detective vs detective (I have a minific written for this that I might share. also Rie's not quite a detective... kinda a vigilante? not sure how to explain)
my current plan is she ends up getting stuck in a situation like Light was, where L suspects her for a case (she hacked into his database and deleted all his files) and has to work with her and keep an eye on her. I'm considering that she purposely got caught bc she was in trouble with more dangerous people, but maybe L catches her because, well, he's the world's greatest detective and the dangerous people just encounter Rie later
she's eventually cleared of suspicion because she wasn't involved in the cases she wiped, she just deleted them to be annoying and win the Game. Rie sticks around to annoy L for a while but then in come the dangerous people!!
the reason for this isn't fully fleshed out yet, but she gets herself kidnapped and once they realise she worked with L they try to get information on him out of her (through torture pretty much). this bit is the bit I'm probably least happy with, I want to work on it more. but in the end her stomach gets cut open, she escapes and collapses/gets rescued, and L realises he can trust her.
Rie goes to various countries and does her own thing for a few years, occasionally assisting L on cases, before she comes to Japan for the Kira case
there's so much Kira related stuff that I think I'll make another post sometime haha.
but that is the simplified and unrefined version of her backstory!
Personality
a proud feminist!! because come on death note needs one. (I know I said earlier she likes Light and dislikes Misa but the way he treats her ticks Rie off)
honestly can be very annoying on purpose, like a sibling
that said she's a good person overall, has done suspicious contract work and whatever, but she loves people and she really cares for everyone in her life
energetic 50% of the time, asleep the other 50%.
Pretty analytical but definitely has and expresses emotions. Probably INTP but I'm not great with MBTI tying.
a sore loser. But instead of trying to win, she will just give up if she knows there's a chance of losing. that way she can tell herself that it was her decision and thus, she won.
Loves her friends + family and has a somewhat motherly vibe
Strengths
she's the smartest woman in the world!! because honestly it is a crime that all the smart people in death note are men and hey, it's kind of cool to make an oc who's the anything-est in the world. (I wouldn't say she's REALLY the smartest, she just has a fairly wide skill set and is intelligent. maybe the highest-achieving)
Well she hacked L's main databases so I think you can tell she's good with technology
Her major in uni was psychology! Criminal and maybe abnormal psych, that is. also has dabbled in sociology and neurology. Rie knows a lot of languages.
a good baker (this may be the real reason L didn't have her killed).
A cheerful presence, good at raising morale and making L seem more approachable and likeable to the Task Force. usually optimistic.
Weaknesses
I know I just said she's optimistic, but this is because she makes a conscious effort to be. Rie's got a lot of anxiety and worries, and struggles with several mental health issues.
Her pride is as bad as L's ego. Actually, she'd claim it's worse.
When she gets angry she gets ANGRY. will straight up punch someone in the face and yell for hours.
bad at processing her emotions in general actually
Rie has attachment and abandonment issues I think. also because of the whole torture thing she's got some pretty bad PTSD.
She can be really rude/blunt. claims this is unintentional.
physically pretty weak, too.
SOOO MANIPULATIVE! like she's a detective and she kind of has to be so to make the most of her psychology knowledge and get info out of suspects, but this will often seep into her personal life. "let's perform experiments on our friends and coworkers to increase efficiency!"
Trivia!
Everyone on the Task Force thinks she binge drinks coffee. It's actually hot chocolate
Rie has a cat! her name is Synonym, nicknamed "Sin"
her favourite flowers are hydrangeas, bluebells, and roses (she's got a literal guns and roses aesthetic going on). Her favourite trees are wisterias and her favourite animals are either otters or elephants.
She's autistic (totally not because I'm autistic and can't write a neurotypical character)
Rie is actually just an alias. I'm debating on, if she lived near Wammy's, she might have met L and this would be a nickname derived from her middle name. but then I have to explain the "woah memory loss!!" in the whole database/suspicion incident. so, it's probably just a name that she likes. or maybe she shortened her own middle name.
The full alias is Rie Takamura. She also goes by Hina Suzuki (Japanese equivalent of Jane Doe) and 1429 (fourteen twenty-nine).
SHE LOVES CASINOS. her theme song would probably be "Joker and the Thief" (or maybe not, but it's in my playlist for her). Rie's very careful not to let herself get addicted to gambling but gosh she loves going to a casino, pretending to be a dumb girl, and counting cards until she can sweep the table off its legs.
lowkey a mad scientist (mostly social-scientist but still.)
 ★━━─・‥…━━━☆
I'M SO SORRY I just realised pretty much none of that has to do with DN canon which is kind of what you asked about akdfhsfhrghiwg I'll without a doubt do a part two sooner or later though
𝖎𝖋 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖑𝖎𝖐𝖊𝖉 𝖎𝖙 ˏˋ⋆˖⁺˖⁀➷ 𝖕𝖑𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖊 𝖗𝖊𝖇𝖑𝖔𝖌 + 𝖋𝖔𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜
character ©lawlietscaramels , ©dailyreine , ©riexliet. Though Rie has been inserted into Ohba Tsugumi's Death Note universe, her design, character, and non canon related storyline are all my own original work. Do not steal her design, claim her as your own, use her for “inspiration” — it's flattering but it often ends up a copy, feed any part of her (story/art) to AI, or do anything else unethical or immoral.

YAGAMI LIGHT

I feel like pre-Kira Light would actually be a super sweet and caring boyfriend
If his s/o is shy they can be assured he’s going to leave absolutely no chance to tease them about it
He finds it absolutely adorable how shy they are, and would probably tease them about it even before they got together
If someone, however, made fun of his s/o’s shyness (other than him ofc) man would be ready to throw hands
But of course, he doesn’t, instead choosing to let his mouth curl into a painfully scary smile as he asks them to repeat their jab at his s/o’s shyness, which seems enough for them to stutter out an apology and run away
Though pre-Kira Light would always respect his s/o’s boundaries and never force them into anything, their shyness would awaken a slightly sadistic side to Kira-Light
He enjoyed immensely watching his s/o squirm and struggle to find words even in simple everyday occasions
Often in the bedroom, he’d play dumb and get his s/o to tell him exactly what it was they wanted, their stuttering and blushing being a huge turn on for him
“Tell me where you want me, darling,” he’d coo calmly, “Use that pretty little mouth of yours.”
L LAWLIET

L has had his fair share of quietness and keeping to himself, so he understands if his s/o might be a little shy around people
He finds it quite cute, actually
Most people thought his s/o was arrogant and stuck up when they refused to speak in public, but L knew better than that.
He knew they just struggled a little and were shy when it came to social interactions
L is known to be extremely curious and experimental in nature, which is why it’s a guilty pleasure of his to rile his s/o up in public
When the investigation of the Kira case was underway, every single time his s/o had a report to announce verbally, L would discreetly place his hands on their waist/ thigh and watch in amusement as they stuttered and stumbled over words
He quite enjoyed watching their face grow red from the contact
Although he can be a little shit at times, L would definitely never force his s/o into anything he knew they were uncomfortable with
That doesn’t mean he won’t tease them about it, though (just a little ;))

Will probably be a bigger tease than both Light and L put together if that’s possible
Mello thinks his s/o is the most adorable human being ever and it takes everything in him not to ‘aww’ out loud whenever they blush upon being complimented/ spoken to
This may sound odd, but Mello tries keeping them as uninvolved and out of his work as possible
The mafia is a dark place, and the world even more so and he doesn’t want to lose someone as precious as his s/o to this cruel world
Squishes their cheeks whenever they blush. I said it.
“Babe, are you okay? You look like a tomato,” he’d tease, feeling rather proud of himself for being able to make his s/o blush with his words as they’d quietly mumble for him to shut up
God forbid if anyone ever dared to make fun of their shyness in front of him
Mello can be quite terrifying when it’s required, and would most probably kill scare that person into never daring to look at his s/o ever again

Kinky little shit, his s/o’s shyness probably turns him on rather than make him laugh
Would most definitely make them sit on his lap while he played video games, his hand never leaving their thigh, moving up and down it in a teasing manner, it being extremely entertaining to watch them squirm in place
Would be extremely annoying about it and play dumb, wanting to watch his s/o struggle for words as they increasingly grew more flustered
“Is there a problem, baby?” he’d innocently ask, his hand still on his s/o’s thigh, their face extremely red and hot, “Tell me what’s wrong.”
Would probably be extremely possessive of his shy s/o
Nobody can make fun of their shyness but him
Nobody can make them blush but him
His s/o better be prepared not to be able to walk for a week if they’d grown flustered at a compliment someone other than him gave them
Matt also loves to leave a T O N of hickies on his s/o’s neck/thighs/etc, watching in amusement as they freaked out and tried covering them up, disappearing behind their clothes so only their red forehead was visible
Would definitely smirk proudly at the little limp in his s/o’s walk and their horror when someone pointed it out

His s/o’s shyness was one of the many reasons Near ever got interested in them in the first place
He would genuinely wonder how someone could get so easily flustered and could shy away from human interaction so frequently
To him, his s/o would be a big mystery – one he was determined to solve
After getting together with his s/o, Near would probably be quick to figure out the cause of their shyness and would patiently listen whenever they ranted to him about it being quite a problem that sometimes hindered their daily activities
Near would actually be quite flattered that he was the one his s/o had chosen to let go of their shyness in front of
Would quite literally freak out anyone who made fun of his s/o’s shyness by simply staring at them with bulging eyes until they left
MATSUDA TOUTA

Matsu can be quite shy and awkward in public himself, so when he found another person sharing these feelings, he was delighted
He’s such a kind soul, honestly
Would never make fun of his s/o’s shyness, just a little playful teasing here and there which he was sure his s/o wouldn’t mind
Like Near, he would be proud that he was the one his s/o had chosen out of a large array of options and would not hesitate to show them off in front of his comrades
Would constantly shower his s/o with affection knowing they themselves were too shy to initiate it
Aizawa would probably have to yell at him to stop distracting the others during a meeting when he was busy peppering kisses along his s/o’s jaw
“But they need love too!”
