Death Note was written by Ohba Tsugumi and illustrated by Obata Takeshi

roland barthes / death note / samantha riches / death note / anonymous, "diary of an oxygen thief" / the amazing devil, "that unwanted animal" / ??? / death note / death note / michael kinnucan / death note / yves olade / s. osborn / death note / the 1975, "antichrist"

quill notes - light,light, light! so much to say about him and so much has already been said. the violence had always been there, the bloodlust constant - something inhuman just made the mistake of giving him the gun

“The center of every tragedy is the image of a human being who has already died but keeps talking, someone whose face is a mask.”

It’s why the gift horse is a gift, and there is always a tiny man inside, though sometimes more than one.

You should look; peer as far back as you can, because if he’s not playing piano, he and his friends might be sharpening blades inside that dark, inside the horse’s belly, inside your sleeping city.

Twenty men crawl out of the gift: you’ll want to see this; you’ll want to see how they spill into the city, and open the gates, and paint everything the color of burned flesh.

The war is ending. Achilles is dead. Paris lives on in shame.

And one man plays piano as the city burns.

I’ve been there. And because I didn’t look, I never saw it coming

- Matthew Olzmann, The Tiny Men in the Horse’s Mouth.

One recognizes true atë by two signs. First, atë must be inhuman, at once more and less than human: it must exceed the limits set by mortality. Atreus cannot be satisfied with the death of his enemy, with a human revenge; he has to call down the divine, to put Thyestes on the wrong side of the oldest laws. Second, atë consumes everything it touches; it renders both victim and criminal unclean, it erases the distinction between avenger and avanged, between aggressor and victim. Atreus’ crime is so terrible that neither he nor his enemy will live it down. Such acts will not be forgotten, will not exhaust themselves in the moment of action; they expand outward to contaminate observers, bloodlines, cities. These two characteristics are linked: a more-than-human act cannot be contained in the human world, its consequences cannot exhaust themselves in the destruction of mere mortals, its reverberations do not die away. When he acts out of atë, a man passes beyond the bounds of mortality, into the dark world of the oldest gods. In hubris, men forget that they are mortal; in atë they forget the very boundaries which make mortal life possible. Once these boundaries are crossed, mortal action is unavailing; only the gods can restore them.

But the Greeks saw an absolute difference between mortals and gods, a difference which might be formulated this way: mortals are partial and complex, gods are complete and simple.

“The tragic hero is complete. You can call him unhappy (miserable, utterly broken) even before he is dead. For an instant he is something like divine. And then he dies, because there's nothing left to do.”

It is as though, when the Olympians lose their connection with darker gods, they lose their force. After all, if a god is thinkable, does he remain a god?
