"Loveless"

[crypticfandomtrash]

L’s Backstory

L Lawliet was born in England. His mother was half-English and half-Russian. His father was half-French and half-Japanese (based off of L’s ethnicity confirmation in How to Read. I chose French over Italian for the remaining quarter) and was born in France. His parents simply liked the idea of a single letter name for him.

The surname comes from his mother’s family. His dad took her name when they married. Both parents had black hair. His mother had gray eyes and his father had brown. L resembles his mother more, including her bone and facial structure. He looks more White than Japanese/Asian.

His mother worked as a nanny for a family in the British Peerage. Being around the upper-class despite not being rich at the time led to L developing Received Pronunciation (also called BBC or Queen’s English, along with many other names) as his natural accent despite it being more common among the upper and upper-middle classes of London and Southeast England.

They moved to France when he was young (around 3) because his father wanted to go back to his homeland. When he was seven, they were in Paris for vacation. His parents were shot in the hotel lobby along with several other victims. The murderer fled the scene.

After they died, L’s other relatives couldn’t take him in (they had their own kids to worry about). He spent about a year in a shitty French orphanage where he was teased for being “a freak” and autistic. He was often neglected by the staff because they did not understand his needs.

When he was eight, Wammy found him while visiting France and took him back to England. He was never told off for stimming or anything else relating to his autism. Wammy was extremely supportive and understanding. L was spoiled there (which is why he became somewhat lazy).

After about a week at Wammy’s Winchester Orphanage (he runs multiple orphanages), L was adopted by Wammy.

L has several things from his parents. His favorite is a music box. He plays it when he has trouble sleeping.

He developed an interest in detective work because of his parents’ murders. He started solving small cases (for petty crimes) around eleven years old. Wammy was the one who conveyed his conclusions to the police since they would not take advice from an eleven-year-old.

L eventually solved his parents’ cold case when he was fourteen and had the murderer locked up for life.

He does have a sense of justice and morality (as hinted by several lines in the LABB prequel novel) but is cavalier about it. He is also selfish and acknowledges this. Completely amoral people are pretty rare and it would be hard to write a character like that because most people have some sort of moral code, questionable or not. So yes, L has a moral compass.

He can be selfish or altruistic depending on the situation. Sometimes he wants people to have a lower opinion of him because he doesn’t particularly want hero worship.

L will solve cold cases. He usually solves them for free, but it depends on the case (wealthy private citizens will typically get charged and so will police departments that handled the case badly). He wants to bring closure to the families.

Like it’s stated in LABB, L will usually only take a case if there are ten or more victims (murder, kidnapping, rape, arson, etc) or at least a million dollars at stake (art theft, corporate theft, or any crime involving money). He will ignore these conditions IF the case is interesting and/or noted for being difficult.

L charges differently depending on who is hiring him and what the case is. If he’s being hired by a company/organization/government/person he doesn’t like (because of corruption or bad practices), he’ll charge extra. If the case is annoying/ridiculous but otherwise meets his requirements, he’ll do it and charge an extra fee. If the case goes against his morals, he won’t bother.

L has a blacklist for governments, companies, and people he will not accept cases from. North Korea, certain Middle Eastern nations, and other dictatorships are on that blacklist. He will accept some jobs from China, but his relationship with the country is very strained.

He is definitely willing to do certain illegal or morally gray things if it’s to obtain justice. He will lie, plant cameras and microphones, hire skilled criminals and informants (actual law enforcement agencies do this too, though), and manipulate people. He will also utilize torture, but only on specific types of criminals and cases (like terrorists with knowledge of a bomb or a sex trafficker/kidnapper/serial killer hiding their victims, for instance). It has to be a situation where lives are in danger (or could be) or the criminal is truly despicable/dangerous. There are hard lines he won’t cross, though.

L has studied tons of criminal psychology and actually has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (which is part of the reason why he is such a good profiler). He is a real psychologist and can make diagnoses. He is not a psychiatrist and can’t prescribe medicines, though. That requires a medical degree.

He was always interested in psychology because he finds the human mind fascinating, but he moved to criminal psych after his parents were killed.

L actually was the British Junior Champion in tennis, just under a fake name. He tries all kinds of hobbies to expand his knowledge.

fuck all of you who decide to stay neutral. fuck all of you who decide to stay silent. fuck all of you who are not educating yourself about what is happening right now. fuck every celebrity that posted a notes app screenshot of empty words. fuck bbc and nbc and joe biden and the u.s and britain and nearly every western country and media outlet. fuck israel and zionists and privileged white liberals turning a blind eye. fuck all of you. israel bombed a hospital and hundreds if not thousands are dead and a father had to carry the PIECES of his sons in plastic bags because they were blown to bits. a resting place for journalists has now turned into a morgue. every day people are being killed and it’s being DOCUMENTED and you still wanna be silent and neutral and say this doesn’t involve you. your lack of humanity is vile and horrid and i hope you never know one moment of happiness the rest of your life.

Okay so I've been wanting to tell you that you're literally my favourite twst artist 😭🩷

So my question is, how do you manage to come up with these funny comics? CUZ I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

(P.s: Lovin' the art style ✨)

oh geeze, thanks! 💚💚💚 I'm really glad people enjoy my stupid sense of humor; mostly I just draw things to make myself laugh, and if it makes other people laugh too, then bonus points! usually it's just one joke or mental image that gets stuck in my head (every time I saw Fellow spin his cane, all I could think about was him go-go-gadgeting away on it...) and in my quest to justify it, it picks up other jokes and bits along the way and usually doesn't even end up as the main focus anymore. entire narrative arcs have spun out just so I could use a single bad pun in a throwaway line. this is a terrible way to explain it but I'm not sure how else to put it into words!

and sometimes it's just "weird things my sister has said that I make fun of her for"

Misa Headcanons 1

Misa’s sister is older than she is. Her name is Kayuki. She has moved on from their parents’ murders and is worried about Misa’s refusal to seek help.

Unpopular headcanon: Misa is heterosexual. She could be bicurious at most in canon (and even then I personally doubt it). Considering how she outright rejects Rem and that none of her interactions with Kyomi (or any other woman) strike me as romantic or flirty, I do not see her as a lesbian. She might have a passing interest in trying to date another woman (especially if Kira had been a woman instead of Light), but nothing would come of it. She only talks about men in a romantic or sexual context (mostly Light, for that matter).

Regardless of author intent or fanon, she is written in a very specific way in the manga and any analysis of the text as it is must take that into account. I’ve mentioned it before on another post: See casuitor and mikami's posts for pure textual analyses on DN. They’re awesome. I have plenty of headcanons and fanon, but I still keep in mind that the manga does not necessarily reflect what I wish was canon. That is why fanon exists.

In AUs that are not set in DN’s main world, I can easily see her as bisexual and headcanon her as such (like in my Pirate AU).

Misa isn’t stupid at all. She has a successful modeling and idol career, which means she acts in certain ways to please her audience. She manipulates people into doing what she wants. And she manages to threaten Light into dating her via her stronger powers and Rem. Let’s also not forget that she tricked Higuchi into confessing to her. She’s more socially intelligent than academically intelligent, but she did decently in school. There are plenty of hints of this in canon.

She thinks that she’s in love with Light, but it’s actually about what he represents to her. She views him as an ideal hero because he avenged her parents, even though he’s actually a vigilante terrorist who’s very far from morally upright as Kira. She’s put him on a pedestal and deep down she does know that what she feels isn’t really love.

She doesn’t actually care to get to know Light as a person, This is pretty clear in the manga. She constantly ignores his wishes and goes against him, especially during the first half. She projects her own desires onto him, and combined with the fact that she stalks him and forces him into the relationship via death threats, is a pretty toxic person. Their “relationship” is mutually toxic and abusive.

Related to above, I really wish people would stop defending her actions. If being a Light or L apologist is scorned, then why should Misa get a free pass for bad deeds? I much prefer Misa as a villainous character! She’s very interesting. Let there be evil women.

Before she gave up her Death Note, she kept wondering what L looked like during the interrogation because he was just a scrambled voice over an intercom system. Everyone wonders what the world’s greatest detective looks like.

She does remember most of her interrogation. She knows L’s staff could have done far worse to her than withhold food and water for 3 days (they did keep her on an IV for fluids so she wouldn’t actually get dehydrated) and give her a potent truth serum, but she still resents it. She believes she’s innocent without her memories, so all the physical evidence that they have on her makes her think she that was controlled by Kira somehow. It’s something that actually frightens her.

Given that she says that “L is the person in the computer” when talking to L at one point during the Yotusba arc, she does not think that “Ryuzaki” is L. She thinks he’s one of L’s many proxies or agents. She does put the pieces together a while before regaining her memories, though.

As for Misa/Rem shipping, I can see it happening. I can also see it as unrequited or just platonic. I actually prefer platonic. Rem strikes me as very motherly.

Misa notices that Light is into L. Again, she’s not stupid. She is torn between feeling upset and feeling amused at the situation. She easily noticed his disinterest in girls. When Light does admit to being gay at some point, she isn’t even surprised. Only Matsuda and Aizawa were surprised.

She loves being an actress and was secretly upset when Light asked her to quit so they could get married in Part 2 of the manga.

Akaashi pulled me back into drawing, it's all his fault, damn you handsome man you 😫🫵

[solarisfortuneia]

his fingers have always been nimble. gentle. graceful, even. it is precisely this trait that assists him in his mastery of multiple instruments.

and his hands have always been steady, never twitching nor wavering. this aids every stroke of his pen, every swing of his sword and every tune he plays.

he’s perfectly aware of this, too. he is no stranger to intricate work; delicate actions come naturally to him.

so why on earth is something like applying your makeup so difficult? perhaps it’s the pressure of putting things on someone else’s face, or perhaps it’s the fact that it’s your face he’s working on? either way, he’s hoping with all his heart he doesn’t mess up.

kazuha’s always grateful for his blessings, but at this particular moment in time, he thanks every force of nature for granting him his stable hands, for he couldn’t possibly imagine taking up this task without it.

he picks up a brush and swirls it in a pot of pressed pigment, then delicately taps the apples of your cheeks. light floods into the room, birds chirp somewhere beyond, but he pays them no mind, the entirety of his focus occupied by the tint of rouge on your face. it makes your skin glow beautifully, reminiscent of a bright, cheerful blossom in summer, and for a moment, he’s so in awe that he forgets what he’s supposed to be doing.

“kazuha?” you call out to him, shaking him out of his captivated trance. “are you alright?”

he hums, acknowledging you. “just admiring.” he sets down the brush in his hands on the dark surface of the table and picks up another, a much smaller one with a sharper tip. he dips it into dark, inky liquid and brings it up to your eyes, the side of his palm resting on your cheekbones.

“stop blinking so much, dearest,” he taps your cheek softly with his other hand. “i’ll mess up the eyeliner otherwise.”

“i’m trying, i promise.” you say, attempting to keep your eyes still.

he grips your jaw firmly, tilting it upward for a better angle. his face scrunches in concentration as he carefully glides the brush on your eyelids, taking great care to not poke your eye out in the process. he steps back every so often, checking to see if the lines are even.

he sets the brush down, breathing a sigh of relief. “i think we’re done.” he holds up a mirror. “what do you think? have i done a decent job?”

you look at yourself for a few beats, examining every plane, every bloom of color, every painstakingly drawn line. “this is perfect,” you take the mirror from his hands and turn your face from side to side. “you’re really good at this. thanks, love.” you give him a bright grin.

“it’s nothing, really.” he smiles back at you, in his usual, serene way. “you look divine,” he means it.

“oh?” you bat your eyelashes at him playfully. “so you think i’m pretty?”

“i do,” he leans in, tenderly bringing your wrist up to his lips for a fleeting kiss. “i think you’re absolutely stunning, my dear.”

he falls silent, attentive crimson roaming your face. he takes his time and looks over each and every feature with pure adoration in his gaze. one can see it in his expression alone; it clearly betrays how much he wants to trail the tips of his fingers across the bridge of your nose, under your eyes, over the expanse of your cheek, and how badly they itch to bury themselves in your neatly done hair. though, he knows he shouldn’t— lest he ruin his hard work— and his hands anchor themselves on your shoulders.

looking through pale strands, he notices a shift in your demeanor, as soon as he does, he knows you’re aware of how deep his desire to touch you extends.

“y’know,” you take his face into your hands, gazing back with the same intensity. “i’d say you’re pretty too, but i can’t see a damn thing with all this hair over your face.”

“my…hair?” your statement comes as a surprise. he sees you take full advantage of his momentary confusion, gently batting away his hand from pushing back his hair.

“yes, your hair.” you make a show of twirling the hair, then slip it quickly behind his ear, never breaking eye contact. “there, much better.”

his eyes widen fractionally, as if in a daze, and his train of thought grinds to nearly a halt. then, he blinks. once, twice, thrice. “thank you, dear.” he recovers soon enough though, eyes closing to give you a bashful smile. “i wasn’t aware that my hair was obstructing your view,”

you smile back at him. “now that that’s out of the way,” you trace your thumbs over the tip of his nose, “goodness me, kazuha, you are gorgeous,” you murmur, moving your fingers to his lips. they part involuntarily, and he looks away, unable to meet your amused eyes. “someone’s flustered, cat got your tongue?” the teasing lilt in your voice is hard to miss. you hold his face in your hands and scarlet begins to dust his cheeks.

he clears his throat, composing himself. “thank you for the compliment, starlight.” his voice is affectionate when he finally speaks, and a fond smile returns to his face.

“you’re very welcome, love.”

kazuha’s always grateful for his blessings. and right now, when he looks at the adoration in your gaze, he thanks every force of nature for giving him the best one of all.
