Fernando's WHAT, Seb?? 😳

[camellcat]

saw someone ask where the joy is in s7. what? the whole.... it's everywhere?

it's willow being reassured she's still just as loved and important despite what she'd done. it's anya and xander not getting back together but knowing they still care deeply about one another and will still have each other's backs when it comes down to it. it's spike and buffy learning how to communicate with each other better, or at the least stop lying to each other. it's buffy going out monster hunting with xander and having a good grumble about it. it's dawn and anya being friends again after anya was betrayed by dawn's klepto habits. it's andrew slowly becoming one of their own. it's buffy finding a job that she enjoys, that makes her feel like she's doing something good outside of slaying and doesn't run her down into the dirt. it's willow building a healthy relationship with magic for the first time. it's spike on the journey to accepting himself, both the man and the monster rather than just trying to play one or the other. it's buffy willow and xander being as close as they've ever been again since the early days. it's dawn being integrated into the group properly and proudly showing off how good she is at research. it's xander and spike finally figuring out how to coexist. it's faith and buffy accepting one another. it's anya and andrew having fun just before the end of the world. it's dawn having her own outcast of friends in school just like buffy did. it's buffy choosing spike, loudly, over and over and over again. it's buffy staring down at the crater that was sunnydale and tearfully smiling at everything it meant to her then and everything it represents now

I feel like the majority of s7 is about how you can come back from misery. I think a lot of it is quieter, not always outright stated but shown if you're willing to notice it, and sometimes it's literally telling you to your face. and it says that there is a life after devastation. there will be joy again if you can work for it, if you're willing to try. or this is what I took away from s7 anyhow

Just to put a lot of my posts and beliefs about Light Yagami's character in one post (headcanons not included):

• He does not do anything for purely moral reasons. The reason he started killing criminals was because he was curious, and then afterward his "crusade" was built from panic and spite. He thought using the Death Note was going to kill him, so he decided to take everyone he considered a threat to society down with him—that way he would still be good. He would still be remembered. If he can't live, then criminals don't deserve to either. The weight loss and the insomnia shown in the manga, were more likely results of a fear of dying than moral stress.

• Then Light discovers he won't die. This negates part of the spite, but not the need for a moral justification to keep himself "good". He no longer needs to be a martyr, so instead he's chosen to become a God.

• During this week and half of time, Light goes from being a bored, lonely, listless teenager disgusted with the world because it's not how his father taught him it should be, disgusted because if he can manage perfection why can't the rest of the world—to a boy with a new friend and a new mission that gives him purpose. Something interesting. If the world can't be perfect on its own, he'll have to help it. The world needs his help, making him its "savior".

• In comes L. It is no longer about Kira, no longer about saving the world from itself, even if he might tell himself it is—it's about the game. Kira was a fun pastime, yes, but L has made things so much more interesting. (Light and Ryuk are actually wildly similar in several ways it's just not immediately obvious). This game is more fun, too, because this time he has an opponent—one not so nebulous as "the criminals of the world", who offered no challenge. Light is still justifying his actions through a lens of morality, because he has to, but they're beginning to run rather thin.

• Both the broadcast and the obvious taunts to L through changing Kira's killing methods supports the above. "You're too stupid, L. If you were just a little smarter, we could've had some fun." Drawing L in was to progress their game, not Kira's goals. If Light truly only cared about Kira's vision, Kira's new world, Kira's righteous justice; then he wouldn't have continued to play the game after the broadcast. There was no way for L to find him without Light drawing him in—the Death Note is literally the perfect murder weapon. Light knew this, he just ignored it because he wanted to play.

• In the same vein: Yotsuba Light doesn't know he's playing the game. He's forgotten that there even is a game, and so he sees L as someone who's been duped, who either isn't as intelligent as he's been made out to seem, or someone who's being purposefully cruel just because he can. Either way, to Yotsuba Light, L's threat level has only increased, because Light no longer has any sort of weapon to go against him with. He can't even wield his own innocence against him, because his innocence is not certain. Even to himself. Yotsuba Light knows that he has to play along with L's plays of friendship and morality in order to secure his freedom, but he does not respect L or like him. At least, not until near the end, where they're closing in on Higuchi. Where his freedom seems closer....and yet he sees his own, true innocence as more tenuous than ever. Notably, even when Light feels positively towards L there, he still does not share his suspicions about himself with him. His own life still takes precedence over any sort of justice or morality he might have, because Yotsuba Light is still Light. And Light will always put his own self-interests first.

• After killing L, something interesting happens. Because the game ends, but Kira is still left. And Light was willing to take risks and make wild plans in his game with L, but Kira's goals always, always came after his own life. And when only Kira's goals are left, Light stops taking those big, potentially lethal risks. (i.e. bomb desk trap, killing Raye Penber in person by handing him pages of the Death Note, killing Naomi Misora in person right in front of the police station, writing Higuchi's name while sitting right beside L with the murder weapon literally in his hand, etc. etc.). Winning the game was worth dying for—Kira's ideals are not. Or, to put it even more simply: His pride is worth dying for, but his morals are not. Five years after his victory against L, he's presented with another game, but instead of feeling fearful and excited as he did with L, Light is angry. Arrogant and angry. Because this isn't a game to these opponents, as it was to L—they're playing against each other, and Light is merely a piece in it. This game is not like his game with L; it's more like his "game" with the criminals of the world. One with no true challenge, just another defense of Kira's world—worth winning, but not worth dying for.

• Light's pride is more important to him than anything. He needs to be able to take pride in himself and his actions. Pride comes before everything else, before Kira, before family, before L, even before his own desires and physical health. He does not enjoy killing—he just turned it into something he could be proud of. Into another mastering of craft. Light is not particularly sadistic, he's just spiteful. He'll only take pleasure in someone's suffering if they make someone else suffer first, especially if that someone is him. Attacking his pride would count as making him suffer, because that's the most important thing in the world to him. Even though Light also values his life incredibly highly, attempting to kill him wouldn't invoke as much hell-hot wrath as attempting to humiliate him would. And Light will always get even. Always. He does not forgive and forget.

• He believes every lie he tells himself. Every. Lie. He is a Good Man. He is Good Son. He is a Savior. He is Better. He is NOT Evil, he is Good. He's incredibly adept at not only fooling other people, but fooling himself. Even if he's vaguely aware of the truth, he'll take great pains to make sure that truth never comes to light—because it would crush him.

• Light does not take his own desires into account. If he likes or wants something that contradicts with the perfect image he's crafted, he purges it from his mind. Makes excuses for why he doesn't need it, or even convinces himself very thoroughly that he didn't even want it in the first place. If it's not something he can be proud of (or convince himself to be proud of), he doesn't allow himself to desire it.

• Light sees everyone as beneath him (family notwithstanding, Light loves his family deeply), and while it's a pyramid scale of how far beneath him they are, it's not actually ranked by things like gender, sexuality, race—it's ranked by morality and intelligence. The more intelligent and moral you are, the higher up you are on the scale. Light feeling hostile towards someone does not always mean he sees them as further down beneath him; with L and Misa specifically, it means that they're a threat. Light tends to only see people near the top of the intelligence pyramid as threats; evidenced by him dismissing Matsuda completely even with the knowledge that Matsuda was a marksmen, and yet him immediately setting out to kill Naomi when he found out she figured out one of Kira's secrets. With Takada and Mikami, he treats them exactly the same as each other because they're both on the same level of the scale—and he didn't hesitate to get rid of either of them. (Or try to get rid of, in Mikami's case). Everyone is either a tool, a threat, a criminal, a citizen, or family to him. People to use (tool, criminal), people to serve and/or placate (citizen, family), and people to eliminate (threat, criminal). Everyone falls into at least one of these categories for him.

• Light Yagami is a tragic character. And he's a tragic character because he refuses to believe he's part of a tragedy. He would rather swallow broken glass than be considered a victim of anything.

Todd going home for the weekend (Saturday morning to Sunday evening)

Todd, getting up from the breakfast table with the poets Saturday morning: oh I have to go

Neil, staring wistfully: oh mine own Todd, I bid thee the sweetest of goodbyes, my heart may be full of sorrows but I shall speak my farewells with honest wellness and inpatient joyfulness for I shall be waiting to see thee again on the morrow, mine own sweetest Todd, until then I shall hold you in mine heart for I cannot hold you in mine dear arms

Todd, walking out: uh ye-yeAH uh, I’ll see ya tomorrow *awkwardest wave you’ve ever seen* b- *runs into table because he was looking at poets* uh bye Neil

Neil, after Todd leaves: did you see that guys, isn’t he sooooo romantic, he just says the most perfect things to me

The poets: *wondering if Neil is delusional or just that lovesick*

Why do people like you (the mun) so much???? I don't see it.

Beats the fuck out of me, but here we are.

Maybe it's the shiny crown that attracts them, it sure lured you in here.

You can sign your name on the hater wall to the left on your way out if you'd like. Not that post-it-note thats my grocery list, the white board of revolving door haters. Feel free to pick a fun colour too. Totally support you expressing yourself.

Have a great day booboo.

/I miss writing dynamics between characters , but this is really a me issue I should strive to correct, but even then, I I still find myself yearning like a cold animal by the road-

I finished the new Mond.stadt archon quest just now & above all else... I just feel so so so sad for Subj.ect Two's fate

[klarsynt]

you ever think about how the first time emil fell in love he was undercover and fell in love with his mark thus failing to kill her, now bearing a scar on his cheek forever to remind himself of that. you ever think about how that same woman became the person who took magnolia in after she escaped from tantalus. red thread of fate or whatever

[evocatiio]

if chibnall was the one writing this season you lot would be talking VERY differently

[smolstarthief]

Fuck it, just gonna say it:

Ryuji can be the biggest ray of sunshine but still have moments of being dickish

Sumi can be as sweet as can be but still have a selfish side

Maruki can be empathetic but still be fucked up

That's what makes them all INTERESTING!!!

I'm just saying these characters' best qualities and flaws can coexist! That makes them feel more human!
