Here is why lawlight's chemistry works- L always has to be right and Light always has to be special / the best. L thinks Light is special / the best and Light thinks L is always right for thinking he's special / the best. Rinse and repeat for all eternity while everybody else is just being like omg get a room

If L met the wammy boys do you think he would like them? My unpopular opinion is that he would probably find them annoying

I'm not sure! I don't think he thinks about them even remotely as much as people would like to pretend—I think he's largely ambivalent towards them. Not particularly fond of them but not disdaining them either. My own personal headcanon is that L was closer with the first gen of successors: A and B (a possible C notwithstanding). But after the tragedy of A that lead to B's downfall, I think L purposefully stopped giving a shit about any of the Wammy kids. Self-preservation and all that, you know?

Now, having said that, in Another Note we see that L has spoken to Mello alone at least once. We don't know whether it was before Near, after Near, before Kira, after Kira, whatever—which would add on some telling factors to that interaction, but I digress. My own unpopular opinion here is that this means that L would've eventually chosen Mello as his successor. For several reasons, but chief of mine being that L just liked Mello better. I also think that would've been the easier choice for everyone involved, again for multiple reasons.

I think L would be mildly annoyed by all the Wammy kids tbh. Just because they're kids and he's an adult who doesn't seem like he'd be good with children. That, and the fact that they're fighting for a name that they'll never truly earn instead of making a name for themselves on their own merit.

(To that end, are we,,,,,sure that Matt was in the successor program? Is it specifically said anywhere in canon? Because it would make more sense if it was more of a 'two at a time' deal than a free-for-all for all the Wammy kids to participate in. Then again that might just be 'two/three at a time', which would include Matt, but again. L is very secretive. I don't think he'd be telling his every secret to every kid that showed interest in becoming the next Great Detective.)

ANYWAY. TLDR; I think children would annoy him in any fashion they came in and his arrogance would do the rest, but despite all of that he would've chosen Mello as a successor because out of everyone else Mello was the only one he seemed to show a personal interest in ✨ Sorry for the tangents my brain goes off 🙏

Fic of Lockwood and George teasing Lucy and giving her grief over being northern and then the subsequent Lucy&Kipps friendship content when he finally joins the team and she’s not two against one with Lockwood and George as the only northerner in the group anymore (Holly remains steadfastly neutral)

And then someone (probably the skull) pointing out that really the enemy is Lockwood for being posh and then everyone making fun of him and giving him grief over it together even Holly

i think it would be really funny if jeremy subconsciously hummed the "hoot pockets" jingle around mr reyes cause the squip kept singing it whenever he saw him

i still cant believe they nerfed my guy mike wheeler like that, that's not my boy

thinking abt how fast and hard I've fallen for hook is making me kinda emotional ngl

Why couldn't Light have written in the Death Note at school?

One of the reasons L twigged that Kira was a high schooler was because his killing hours were outside school hours. But I doodled random stuff all the time at school and no one would go and check. Light's a supergenius who doesn't even need to pay attention to class, why didn't he just kill people then and make it harder for L. He wasn't surveilled at school either.

Or even if he didn't want anyone to see he could've used like white or invisible ink.

Live action footage of my ADHD brain trying to focus at a rigid table top murder mystery party tonight for four hours straight:

Remembering when this lady blatantly jumped in front of me in the line at a store and kept glancing behind her to check for my reaction except Idrgaf cause she had like 3 items but I guess I looked annoyed cause eventually she felt guilty enough to fully turn to me and pretend she didn’t notice I was there and apologize and go through all of the motions which again I was like oh its whatever to me but it was funny that she did all of that for little old me

dustfinger is so funny imagine being so painfully awkward that you just let your family think you're a cheater who abandoned them if it means you don't have to have a Conversation

No one wants to hang out with me in this house and i am suffering in the Worst Way

sawry no new art tonight.. tried starting a bigger piece (two actually) but i kinda dont like them

cw anti st*ggy and st*cky joke:

its funny how much i hate st*ggy considering i also dont like st*cky romantically

the other night i was talking to my friends and we are all looking for jobs so thats a big preoccupation we all have and then i told them that my therapist encouraged me to see a psychiatrist so might have to take meds and i was saying how i dont like the idea but i cant see any other /positive/ way out.. and one of my friends said “well imagine if you find a job before starting to take them, then you wont need the meds anymore!” …. when i tell u i was speechless…… girl

It's really frustrating to be trying really really hard and feel like you're doing the equivalent of paddling in place- even though you should be moving forward-

but the other person is not seeking out resources for how to paddle, or manage their part of the kayak, and you're starting to sink because of it.

And like, you know, if you're feeling the water on your ass, and you're at the front, they've gotta be up to their waist or more in it. But you're busy keeping things sort of okay, you can't check in on them. So you only feel that you're getting wetter than you should be, and going nowhere, and they're struggling. And it's your problem- because you're in the same fucking boat- but they won't take your help. They won't listen. They half hear the directions. They can't help it.

But after a while, it's so. Fucking. Frustrating. And it feels like it'd be easier, despite having made it so far, to swim back to shore alone, and try crossing again.

i think i’m like. an awful person. like actually
