#note: INDUSTRY

[tortured-demigods-department]

As someone in film school, this goes so hard. Something we’re taught in our first semester that just keeps getting harped on as we further our education is that the audience is key. Before you even start forming your own ideas for creative projects, they’re teaching to ask: who is this for? What will they think about this? Who could you sell this to?

Don’t get me wrong: I love my professors and my program. I have learned a lot of useful things that I will carry past film school. But as someone who never plans to use film as a means to make money (if we’re being honest, I’m so disillusioned with the industry that I likely will fall back on my second major, at this point), this was something that was nice to be reminded of. Create, even if no one will read/watch/see your work. Create, even if no one ever gives you money for it. Create for you. You are your first and most important audience. Create for you.

fuck an "intended audience" how about we normalize engaging with new and unfamiliar art pieces on their own terms

(just so we’re clear, while the kier-imogene dynamic is clearly paralleled with helena and mark, it is also reiterated in cobel and mark, dr mauer and gemma, and even burt and irving to some extent; season 2 has also made it a point to show us that helena and cobel are both victims in their own ways while being perpetrators. it is not a black and white situation and misogyny will get you blocked.)

i had a friend who was raped as a teenager and had a really strict mum who did not let her go out so she was really lonely. when she turned 18 she started going clubbing and since we live in a city with a big fetish scene, she started going to the kinky venue. since she was young, naive and very pretty, she was immediately roped in by older men who did bondage shootings with her and everything. she started working in the club. to me, she was clearly groomed, but she works in a fetish shop now and is fully immersed in the scene

i have a friend who answered a job ad for a secretary when she was abroad and she and her friend ran out of money but when they arrived there it was a brothel. they both prostituted themselves for several months. they were only 18. she still talks highly of that brothel, how clean and safe it was, and wants prostitution to be legal

i read the gut wrenching biography of a thai woman who ran away from home, whose parents refused her education and treated her brother very preferably while openly hating her, and entered prostitution in sex tourist destination pattaya at only 13. she was paid by men in their 50s first for her virginity, then to piss on her. she exited at 19 and developed psychosis. she defends sex buyers, hates feminists and wants prostitution to be legal

do you see where im going with this? brainwashing is real. despite the obvious facts, the grooming, the system that pushed and pulled them, the men taking advantage of them; they defend it. so yeah, we shouldnt dismiss firsthand testimony and personal experience, but always take it with a grain of salt, always contextualise, always see it as one part of a bigger picture. liberals dont do that and have duped too many people into not doing it either. „if thats her choice its none of our business“ fuck you!

Neptune in Aries

The birth of a new world religion

"January Neptune enters Aries on March 30, but it will station retrograde on July 4, and eventually re-enter Pisces on Oct. 22, 2025. After stationing direct on Dec. 10, it will return to Aries on Jan. 26, 2026, where it will remain until May 23, 2039" (People.com)

Northopalshores' Masterlist | Midheaven Persona Chart | private readings

🐏 In the next 13-14 years we will be witnessing another rebirth around art, music, cinema, addiction & religion or spirituality as well as mental health. Everything under these areas will undergo a long-term shift. Neptune also tends to reflect what is seen as "cool" for each generation involved.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

🐏 A lot more media will be put under polarizing influences as well people having clear likes and dislikes (beliefs being revisited, questioned, people arguing over their own interpretations and no longer confining themselves under outside influence).

In art, cinema or music you can expect more independent or new impactful creations brought to life (gone is the age of remakes or brands trying to relieve what they use to have or be in the past!).

🐏 New independent artists popping up, so we'll likely see the decline of nepotism going around in the entertainment industry as well. At the very least they won't exactly hold the same influence as they once did. People are prioritizing people's choice.

Not without it's problems of course (the people assuming more authority over who gets famous and for how long, being disrespectful, assuming more or equal power over celebrities, destroying boundaries once more but in a more demanding way kinda).

🐏 In a way, I think we'll start to see something similar as when Neptune was in Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, & Aquarius (the rise of idealistic Hollywood & celebrities, then a renewal controversial, free spirited and "wild" celebrity culture)

I wanted to include some history & the past that I'm referencing in this post to further highlight these themes & make my point clear.

💣 In Leo, late 1920s to early 1960s:

Neptune was in Leo starting around late 1915 untill early 1929 & then in Libra starting late 1942 untill early 1956 (also retrogrades between Virgo & Scorpio throughout that time).

We saw the rise of Hollywood and a monopoly over media and & movie screening rights or "block booking" (forcing theaters to buy bundles of films including low-quality ones if they wanted to show the hits) to ensure their profit & movies of choice would be shown. Major movie theaters i.e Warner Bros, MGM & Paramount controlled the film distribution.

Celebrities were considered royalty and were treated with adoration, often idealized and sold as such through the media. They were literally "stars" and their lives were viewed as luxurious, classy and to die for in some cases. They were icons and representation of culture, power and elegance. In a way, they were treated as products. It was also common for them to put up fronts to make themselves seem more desirable and polished than they really were. Ugly aspects of their lives were kept hidden to continue selling that star image. That norm began to shift following Neptune in Scorpio (late 1955 - 1970).

💣 In Scorpio, 1955 - mid 1970:

Neptune moved into Scorpio. Consequently we saw the rise of rebellion & dark themes in media. Characters became more raw, and unfiltered but in a meaningful way. There was also a striking increase in sexual portrayal through songs, movies and art. Horror saw a rise in popularity as well. Think Rebel without a cause (1955) & Psycho (1960). Both iconic for stirring the pot in their own way. We also say a rise in counterculture & anti established themes in media (focused on the antihero) like in Bonnie & Clyde (1967) and Midnight Cowboy (1969 nice), and even in movies like The Graduate (it rubbed me the wrong way when I first watched it but that was literally the point; sexual disillusionment in a way). This era reconstructed the media making people question authority figures, and questioned morality in the process. Being the first to push boundaries and limitations.

💣 In Sagittarius, 1970s-1980s:

Neptune moved into Sagittarius early 1970 until 1984 then continuing into Aquarius in the late 90s. (Retrogrades between Capricorn throughout that time).

Here, we enter the "new wave" of media, through music and movies especially. Hippie culture and religious/spiritual practices also became more popular during this time. We saw the birth of "wilder" films and concept leaning into creativity, sci-fi, overindulgence and hedonism. Movies, media, & music became more widespread and available as there were more options and genres to choose from ( we saw the rise/birth/popularization of punk rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, reggae, electronic, funk & etc). Although there was still controversy surrounding media control (like studios & labels having power over their artists, them having to lip sync and filter a lot of the media, radical religious movements also took place to oppose the rise of that new age hedonism). Also, it was considerd cool not to care and have that laid back attitude amongst the younger generation of the time.

💣 In Aquarius, late 1990s to 2011:

Neptune entered Aquarius in 1998 untill late 2011 (retrogrades between Capricorn & Pisces throughout that time).

The internet really came down hard on people during this time and celebrities were considered public domain to be consumed and criticized. People wanted to be famous, but often became so through some sort of problematic (yet new & exciting) ways. Not giving a fuck was popular. Being problematic was popular.

A lot of people were jerks during this time and treated celebrities as such, often going for shock factors and stirring up controversy in any industry really. People were rather judgemental of each other but at the same time this is where we saw the popularization of individuality expressed through bizzare or standout aesthetics. We also saw the birth of revolutionary public figures, film & media and celebrities like Lady Gaga.

At the same time, South Park, the MTV craze, the whole Britney Spears controversy, Eminem, 4chan, obscure websites and internet icebergs, all of them were born or popularized during this time for having that jarring or rebellious ("cool & niche") aspect to it. The weirder or unhinged you were, the more you were seen. Controversy seemed to rule the online world in a way. Indie games (and games in general ) were also a dominating presence back then. People were kind of out of touch too following that plunge into Neptune in Pisces.

I read a reddit post about it here and honestly, I agree with what they were saying as it was evidently so especially online.

Here's a chart timeline of Neptune in the signs (including it's retrogrades from 1901-2026 from cayelincastell.com)

So to continue where we left off with Neptune in Aries:

🐏 Celebrities will no longer be worshiped but they will still have power over the world (just not the same way that it is now where boundaries are questioned). They'll be more expressive and experimental, abrasive even (claiming their right as individuals and not products to be scrutinized by the public or people online). Think Chappelle Roan advocating her rights and fighting back against disrespectful media representations being more rude. Same with Doja Cat and her whole rebrand (while it may have upset many of her fans).

🐏 Celebrities won't act like they owe anyone anything anymore but people will also start revolting against their influences. So we can expect more altercations surrounding that area as well.

🐏 Celebrity hate or drama could be amplified.

We'll likely see the rise of more masculine influence in art, movies, music, religion & spirituality. More men diving into Neptunian themes including music, religion or the occult (astrology, witchcraft & tarot). Idolizing powerful men or public figures.

🐏 Births or the appreance of "prophets" could be possible.

🐏 Independent brands gaining more traction & popularity.

🐏 Prominent activism.

🐏 Idolized brands going through rebrands or losing worth.

🐏 Women embracing a more agressive and powerful presence. People with significant Aries placements may be impacted significantly too (triggering a lot of inner fears or desires but also their creativity).

🐏 Movies could center around new & impactful stories, based on true events, more action, more drama, a reformation through the narrative or overall vibe of movies or animations, we may also see a rise in independent films again or maybe even movies that kind of suck ass or are straight up just "shocking" but get popular over that.

🐏 Movies that are hot & heavy, action packed or just something more real or raw (like live action and physical sets).

🐏 People may be less dependent on religion as well & instead will be focusing on individuality and personal power (which can be both good & bad depending on the context).

🐏 There may be conflict with certain religions (being stubborn or assuming power over the other) that part might be rather messy, but it's to be expected.

🐏 Agressive idealisms & false crusades (fighting for religious beliefs that are misleading).

🐏 Media or delusions being our reality.

🐏 More internet fights or calling people out, being more confrontational. Some sort of war or huge conflict may start as well. The last time Neptune was in Aries, the US went through Civil War.

🐏 People will respond more to power and authority (rather than spirituality, authoritarian figures will likely dominate this era). There's likely going to be some forcefulness at play as well. But rebellion, and stubbornness is more significant (especially since Pluto is in Aquarius).

🐏 Intense psychological battles will also ensue. Mayhaps many, many rude awakenings.

🐏 Neptune in Aries & Pluto in Aquarius is a lethal combination. Hah, expect more discourse online. Seems like a good part of the world is turning into a worldwide "Reddit", people correcting one another & putting their interests, ideas, and expressions above others. Either way, this new era is not for the weak or faint of heart. Brace for impact soldier!

Overall themes: War, independence, serving c*nt, body horror, death, stubbornness, arguments, wild & free experimental decisions, s*x, energy, power, drama, visceral emotional outbursts, things feeling real & consequential, contant taking (less giving).

This was my personal forecast for Neptune in Aries based on the prior evidence we had & measuring changes that i. occured

[orange-sora]

We all know that haikyuu is packed with life lessons, especially about growth and competition but one of the things that brought me so much comfort in life is the story of Miya twins. Both Osamu and Atsumu were hard workers but what differentiated them when it comes to volleyball prowess was their priorities. Osamu being a naturally gifted athlete was a major push in Atsumu's life; they made each other better (and worse in some ways). But it was Atsumu's choice to become a professional player and a great setter that pulled him ahead. Atsumu was dedicated to it and if Osamu wanted he could've reached the same skill level (or maybe even more).

Basically as long as you love and want something enough, despite there being "better" people out there, you'll reach greatness in your own right. And I think it's beautiful that consistent effort, even if it takes longer than "natural talent" (which is a topic for another day), will get you where you want to be.

Also, you can be good at something and even have potential to be greater and yet not choose it. You don't HAVE TO pursue anything just because it's expected or even possibly the most natural course for you to take. What matters is what you love.

Thinking about all the things people say Moby Dick is about and the time I went to a poetry reading at my library and an older man read an (appropriately really long) poem about marathon reading Moby Dick in like 2 days in college for an assignment. It was really neat because he drew a lot of connections to things that never would have occurred to me to say that Moby Dick was “about” - the Vietnam war, civil rights, other things that happened to his friends or himself that were completely foreign experiences to me, but my immediate thought was “This guy GETS it.” Because Moby Dick is, first and foremost, about whatever happens to be going on in your life at the time when you read it. After that it’s about grief.

Justin Bieber’s chart

Sidereal/Vedic Analysis

In the midst of the trending drama, involving Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. I came across a series of videos, this video in particular. That made me curious enough to research Justin’s chart. I recommend to give it a watch, as it reinforces this post.

Disclaimer- I’m not interested in talking about Hailey Beiber’s chart rn, as I already looked at it & mentioned her in a previous post

Rahu & Pluto closely conjunct on the 1st/Ascendant

Rahu explains why he was granted insane amount of fame & popularity regarding his image/self (1h). Also, why the world & his Belieber fans were so crazy about him. Rahu being desire & illusions. Rahu influence especially on the 1st has to be weary not to fall into addictions. Pluto influence on the ascendant adds another layer. Causing extreme sexualization/harassment towards him from the fame. This all happening in Scorpio intensifies everything. I'll touch on this more further in the nakshatra section.

Moon & Jupiter in Libra 12th

Moon in 12th house

12th house is Vyaya Bhava (house of loss/expenditure) it deals with themes of losses, isolations, spirituality, foreign lands, sleep, detachment & subconscious mind.

The 12th also represents mental illness & drug addiction in cases. It being in the moon ties into the fact that he started doing drugs (12h) at the young age of 13/14 to cope with the sudden fame. And negative experiences & emotions (moon) that came from it.

It being in Libra can show that the relationships around him could have played a part. They could have been isolating or confusing, maybe due to fame, drugs, or trauma. Libra on the moon also shows a person's emotions, mind, & inner world is deeply affected by their personal relationships. Could also explain the need to turn to substances (12h) because of the lack of emotional connection or nurturing of those around him.

Jupiter in 12th house

Jupiter expands anything it touches especially the house it's in. I already talked about the 12th house and what it represents. (spirituality, dreams, isolation & even drug abuse) Jupiter enhances this. Add on to the fact its also in Libra (partnerships, relationships) as well. Some people have speculated that the church arranged his marriage or atleast had a big part in it. Which, I wouldn't think is too far fetched being that his 12th house of spirituality/ practices is sitting with Libra signifying marriages, relationships etc. His spirituality influences the partnerships he's in or seeks. Could signify meeting partners through church/ spirituality. He was also very close to his pastor Carl Lentz, so yeah, his spirituality influences his relationships both platonic & romantic.

Moon Aspects

Moon is making a trine to Mars & Uranus. Which is malefic influence, not even mentioning that it’s in a Dushtana house. Mars is known for many things, but I see it as aggression or where to watch out for violence. Uranus is unconventional, stigmatized & inapropriate. The fact that these two malefics are aspecting the moon, which represents older women. (of reproductive age/mother's age) Is not suprising regarding how he was publicly harassed by numerous women twice his age. Even on national televison ie Elen DeGeneres, Leia Reminy, KATY PERRY, JENNY MCCARTHY

Moon is square to Neptune. Amplifing the 12th house themes. Creating disillusionment in relationships (Libra), the mind/emotions, and blurring the lines on where women/feminine figures stand with him.

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING, LIKE WTF

Sun conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius 4th

This shows that his childhood might've been restrictive, authoritarian, disciplined (filled with work & responsibility), or possibly abusive. Challenges with mother or feminine figures, delayed comfort & stability is possible. As the 4th house is governed by the moon/cancer and represents early life/childhood. He could also feel like he didn't have much freedom or autonomy early on. Justin didn't have much of a childhood since he became famous as a preteen. The conjunction with Sun may show that father may have been distant, cold, or authoritarian along with the mother. Sun also rules your identity and ego, with Saturn’s conjunction this can cause identity issues, self- doubt, and not feeling seen or valued. Recognition from work might come later on. As we all know he had an extreme hate train during his early fame; people didn't truly respect him & his work until later on.

This 4th house conjunction is in Aquarius (ruled by Saturn & Rahu) Aquarius governs the 11th house having to do with technology & the internet. The main perpetrator or his isolation and restriction he may have felt in his childhood & life came from the media, internet & fame. Double Saturn influence can make him feel detached in regards to family & home life also can cause emotional disturbances.

MC in the Leo 10th

He was destined to get fame & recognition having a career in the entertainment industry. Performing, singing, etc.

Ketu in Taurus 7th

Recently, It has been going around on the internet that he's doesn't love or have interest in Hailey Beiber and it may be a divorce soon. Multiple situations, such as a video where he slammed the car door on her, skateboarded away from her, didn't acknowldge her birthday, and many more caused this speculation.

Ketu on the 7th house of relationships, shows he might be detachment or disinterest regarding his relationships or partnerships. He may not act like he's in a relationship or how someone in one should act. Ketu can cause unusual relationship patterns or unusual partners that carry deception or unresolved baggage. Since, Ketu is malefic and relates to past life karma, it can also cause separations, delays, or unexpected turns in romantic relationships.

Since it's in Taurus (stability & commitment) this causes instability in relationships, marriages, or partnerships. Even in regards to Selena they broke up and got back together many times. He may find it hard to find stable or fulfilling partner and may struggle with trust issues. Fearing his partner may abandon or disappoint him. Also, this placement can hint to preferring spiritual solitude or practices over marriage/commitment. Taurus is Venus ruled. Venus is physical intimacy and passion. There could be a lack of physical affection/passion or a sense of detachment from it in relationships. It also can mean that one’s partners may have secrets, hidden health issues, or an unpredictable future.

Neptune in Sagitarrius 2nd

2nd house is the throat/voice it also shows income/money. Neptune is connected to artistic, spiritual, & musical expression. As art can be considered a spiritual practice & represents the connection to the other realms and the divine source. Which is why Pisces is the height of Venus.

He earns his income through creative, artistic pursuits, especially when he uses his throat/voice, ie singing, making music. His money comes from foreign lands, people & travel (Sagittarius ruling the 9th) He's originally from Canada and got financial success when coming to America.

Downside is that Neptune governs fantasy, confusion, and deception. The same way a siren's song leads a sailor to death and talented artists get driven mad. This can mean he can have trouble managing money or trusting the wrong people with his money. He can be prone to losses through deception, theft, financial manipulation, unclear contracts, shady business deal, or foreigners.

Simplified- He used his voice (2nd house) to get money in foreign lands (Sagittarius) but Neptune, being malefic, created deception and dillusion involving foreigners ie Americans/US.

Neptune is also escapism. So escapism through spending money, entertainment, SUBSTANCES, or spiritual matters/ retreats such as CHURCH. His fame and extreme, volatile fantasization from the media and fans made him turn to the "Hill Song Church". Which was later found out that the church, pastor & members were involved in dishonest things. But like Neptune hints, there could be spiritual deception involving his spiritual practices such as church or hidden enemies lilith 6h ⬇️

lilith in Aries 6th

The 6th house is routine, workplace, coworkers, & hidden enemies. That's where the whole saying "your coworkers aren't your friends" come from. It's another Dushtana/hidden house & Aries is ruled by Mars. He may have faced aggression even violence in his workplace (music industry) or from his coworkers (peers), hidden enemies, or during daily life. Lilith functions similar to Pluto with hidden, dark things. You see where I'm getting at?

Mars & Venus in Aquarius 4th

His Mars & Venus (like his Sun & Saturn) is in the 4th house. I believe Mars is where you can see where you are susceptible to violence. Mars, Saturn, Venus, & Saturn makes it more obvious that the violence, trauma, and suppression comes from women/feminine forces (Venus also represents the wife in a mans chart) but also men/father like figures as seen by the Sun, I wont get too much on that, but you can do your own research

Uranus & Mercury in Capricorn 3rd

Since, Capricorn rules the 10th house. His work is related to the internet, technology, press, news (Mercury) A lot of his fame was influenced by mercurial things (even words, speech) such as the internet. But Uranus makes it unconventional or weird. We can see this by how the internet & especially, interviewers treated him.

Mercury is square pluto (taboo, dark things) the way the media treated him was disgusting to say the least. He has a lot of Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Mars, & Rahu aspects. All malefics which can grant some good things, but it comes at a price that is not always worth it. And since he has Libra moon & Jupiter with malefics touching them, explains toxicity or being taken advantage of in close relationships (Libra)

Other Aspects

Mars square pluto, Rahu, Ascendant & conjuncts Mercury

mars (4th) squaring Pluto (1st). Sadly deepens the fact that in regards to childhood there may have been power struggles, control, repressed anger & abuse. Again, could also involve women. (4h) Mars square Pluto can show abuse done to you or by others around you, and dynamics of power play ie someone in higher authority abusing power over you.

Rahu, Ascendant & Mercury aspecting mars

Explains the violence that he faced from his fame (Rahu in 1st), especially through the internet (Mercury) The video talks about how there were a lot of games that depicted harming him (1h) along with people making threats & even hiring hitmen to off him. This combination of aspects is what I call the “perfect storm.” Pluto & Mars square Pluto exaggerates this.

Rahu sextiles Uranus & conjuncts Pluto

Both Rahu & Uranus represent that in which is unconventional. Uranus made his fame come sudden & unexpected ignited by Rahu. With the conjunct of Pluto, there was a lot of hidden things going on behind the scene regarding his fame and himself ( Rahu 1h)

MC trine Neptune

Again, Neptune resides over 12th house a Dushtana house and is hidden like the 4th, 8th & 6th. Neptune causing more unseen influences on his MC/10h of work & public image.

Nakshatras

Im going to briefly touch on some of the nakshatras in his chart

Chitra moon

This nakshatra deeply ties into the arts, entertainment, fashion & music. Represented by the diamond in it's sheer beauty and highly coveted. Mars is it's the Lord. This is another indicator as to how he's so artisic, fashionable & musically inclined. A lot of people with this nakshatra excel in the music & fashion industry because of their creativity, unapologeticness, and attention to detail.

Dhanishtha Mercury & Mars (3h)

He was meant to get fame through his words and the internet. This nakshatra has been recognized to represent fame & wealth as it literally means "The Wealthiest" But it's usually karmic and comes with a burden/sacrifice. These natives are talented especially in artistry, a special regards to music. But they can be exploited in the industry they’re in. This is another mars ruled nakshatra as he’s a very mars dominant man. Which I talked about how Mars dominant people are often sexualized without their consent. His 6th house Lilith, in a Mars ruled sign, further points to sexualization in the workplace or from colleagues. I kind of feel like a broken record here….

Venus in Purva Bhadrapada (4h)

This nakshatra is the truth bringer, associated with the devils archetype, not because it's evil but because it shines light on the darker aspects of the world/society. Justin Beiber's childhood (4th) & relationships (venus) revealed to the world that a lot of child stars were unprotected and mistreated. Exposing, how creepy & manipulative some people in the entertainment industry can be. PB is a very karmic nakshatra. Unfortunately, he paid the price in his childhood & relationships to shine light on the topic. Almost like a sacrificial lamb.

Anuradha Stellium (Ascendant, Rahu, Pluto) all in the 1st house

Anuradha, lorded over by Mitra, is all about connections, alliances & friendships. His fame was catapulted by his connections. (ie Usher taking him in/mentoring him) It's called "The Star of Success & Devotion" which grants musical & artistic talent the same as his other placements. But the fact that it's in Scorpio is what brings in the darker/hidden side even though it's Deva and usually seen as positive. I talked about scorpio's karmic mission deals with betrayal, power struggles, jealousy & obsession in a previous post. Which, all contacts his 1st house dealing with himself/physical body. He can face power struggles or obsession from others. Saturn is Anuradhas rulers as well, which can cause delays, setbacks & obstacles that he must preserver from.

Also, one astrologer I'm sorry I cant remember, if you can please tag them made the correlation between this nakshatra and "cultural appropriation" due to the fact its closely tied into cultural exploration, unity, & friendship. He has heavily dabbled into black culture. Which could be because of who he was around (friends with) in the industry.

We can all agree that Justin Beiber was let down by the world & people close to him. The ones that should've protected him. When he was at his most vulnerable, he was taken advantage & used. There's no wonder he turned to abusing substances & detachment/ coldness from all the trauma he's been through. His story is a sad, cautionary tale. Hearing it & analyzing his chart broke my heart. I just hope he gets genuine help & peace.

There's so much more I could talk about but this post is already too damn long.

[dancing-lex]

I was immediately struck by this panel in the manga in which Light is thinking about the effect of Kira's judgment on how average people across the globe interact with each other.

This is well known and well examined in the fandom but it really never ceases to amaze me how much of an influence Soichiro has on Light's values and thinking patterns. The modern police state rules with fear as the primary method of control. Light takes the enforcement of law-abiding behavior under threat of violence to the extreme by giving any criminal the death sentence. Being raised by a cop, he would be inclined to believe that this is the best or only way to attain peace.

I think this panel reveals something about Light's character; he thinks to himself that it's a GOOD thing that people are afraid, that the fear of getting killed by Kira will prevent them from doing bad things. Fear = good. Now that I think about it, I bet Light is of the opinion that if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, so he probably thinks that anyone who is afraid of Kira would be guilty (but that's another can of worms).

The thing is, sure, fear is a great motivator, but that also effects other parts of your life. Light mentions that people have begun to treat each other better (citation needed, anecdotal evidence?) but consider. If you're afraid of your neighbors snitching on you, you're less likely to want to interact with them. You don't know who you can trust; best not to have any close personal conversations. You might be overly (inauthentically) friendly just to make sure people don't plaster your face on the internet for Kira to judge. Otherwise, you might avoid interaction as much as possible. Lie if you have to, if it preserves your safety. Conform, appear normal, be a good person, try not to draw too much attention.

And this is what gets me the most, because isn't that how Light behaves? He's taking his own fear of people finding out the ugly parts of him and imposing that on everyone else. He essentially standardizes how all the people in the WORLD interact. Can you imagine the impact of Kira's rule on communities, friendships, relationships, families, not to mention diplomatic relationships and politics?? Light is singlehandedly breaking down the networks between people.

And the fact that HE is the one doing this is just so fascinating. I'm under the impression that Light believes he's actually doing something good for the world, but what he can't see is that he's actually vaporizing something so vital to society - the genuine connections we need to survive and lead fulfilling lives. And because that's not something he's really, honestly experienced, he doesn't even realize what he's doing. He wouldn't get it anyway.
