SLEEP MEME
Type of bed: As a child, Shinobu slept in a futon in her parents’ room for a while, and eventually migrated to a futon in her brother’s room. When he moved out, she inherited his bed (a Japanese Single – roughly equivalent to an American Twin) and has kept it ever since. It’s very utilitarian, with a fairly standard frame, dark sheets, and generally un-flashy energy. It’s a place to sleep (sometimes) and little more than that.
Number of blankets: Depends on the temperature. Tokyo is a pretty warm place, and for as difficult as Shinobu finds it to sleep, they find it even more difficult if they’re overheating. Typically, she’s going to just be using the top sheet and that’ll be enough, or paired with a thin comforter on colder nights. Seldom is it cold enough to warrant something more, although neither will she object to a third layer at those rare colder times, so long as it’s not too heavy.
Number of pillows: Typically two. One for her head, and one for her upper back/neck so that she can comfortably read in bed. When actually trying to sleep, they’ll adjust the positioning a little bit, with one stacked atop the other at a bit of an angle. If she had a firmer, larger, generally higher-quality pillow, it probably wouldn’t be an issue, but as it is, one pillow is liable to give her a stiff neck in the morning. She needs that bit of elevation.
Type of clothing: If Shinobu gets back home late, or especially exhausted, she’s likely to strip down to just her underwear and an undershirt, neatly put her clothes away, and then collapse. If there’s a little more preparation involved, or they’re with another person, they’ll likely wear a sleep shirt as well as a pair of shorts. She could use a pair of fine pajamas, but it isn’t the sort of thing she’d buy for herself, so shirt + shorts it is. Anzu is insistent upon the value of fuzzy socks, but so far, Shinobu remains unconvinced.
Does it matter where they sleep?: Not really. Certainly she’s most comfortable in her bed, but she’s a difficult sleeper no matter where she is. Good sleep is rather hard to come by whether it’s in her bed, in a futon, or in a chair. If she’s sufficiently tired, she can sleep anywhere, although it’ll be unpleasant. As someone who travels fairly frequently for competitions, they’ve also gotten good (as good as anyone can be, at least) at sleeping on planes or trains, though it’s hardly enjoyed.
What do they do if they cannot fall asleep?: Oh, any number of things. The most likely thing is to read a book – her personal library is within arm’s reach of her bed, so it’s no trouble to turn the lamp to ‘dim’ and grab something. If that’s not an option, or there’s nothing that catches her interest, she’ll probably leave home. Her father is a heavy sleeper, when he’s around, so it’s easy enough to leave her room, climb down the balcony outside, and then use a small ladder to climb over the estate walls. From there, she might simply go for a walk, or go to a convenience store for something to eat or drink (including coffee, which certainly doesn’t help her difficulty sleeping).
There’s a university library close enough as well – for general public and high school students, it has defined hours, but it’s open 24/7/365 for university students. Shinobu has pulled some strings with her HPA connections to have an honorary university student ID that doesn’t give her university privileges when it comes to checking things out, but does allow her access to the library outside of usual hours. She might read, or use the computers to study or look things up. It’s not uncommon for Shinobu to stay at the library all night, and they have a small storage locker near the train station that they keep clean clothes in for such events, rather than return home.
If she really doesn’t feel like leaving or reading, there are a few things she might do. If her sketchbook is upstairs, she might take a pen and do some sketching if there’s something in particular she’d like to draw. Training is usually not worth it at that hour, between the necessary time for her muscles to relax, plus needing to change clothes and trek out to the dojo, but it’s an option. There’s also always ‘staring at the ceiling and thinking about the crippling pressure to succeed and the need to abandon all humanity and personal needs in favor of properly achieving her purpose as the vessel for the Yaguchi Dojo’s ambitions.’
Frequent dreams, nightmares: Shinobu seldom remembers either. As she tells it, she lacks the creativity required for particularly compelling sleep narratives. As it actually is, she’s probably just too exhausted and stressed and busy most of the time to bother remembering anything that happens when she’s supposed to be resting. Post-despair, of course, brings with it fairly constant nightmares – of Anzu’s death, of Seiko’s death (in all the ways it could have happened, since she doesn’t know), of regrets about how she handled things and how things might have been different. Even good dreams feel like nightmares, since they’re just so obviously fake, to the extent that Shinobu feels trapped inside them. In non-despair, they probably start having nicer dreams eventually, though.
Deep slumber or naps? Deep slumber, when she can get it. Shinobu is far too busy most of the time for naps. There’s just not often a time between school, training, dates, and other obligations to get sleep in the middle of the day. “Night sleep” is the only time she can sleep, and given the choice, she’d prefer it to be easy, deep, and undisturbed. In practice, she occasionally naps in her lab or on the train without meaning to, simply due to sheer exhaustion. If she's around to witness it, Anzu will protect the rare, precious, napping Shinobu with someone else's life (not her own life but, you know, someone's.)
When do they sleep? Somewhere around midnight, or just after. Past 1 is usually a sign that it’s going to be a rough sleep night, with potentially no sleep at all. They get up pretty early in the morning – usually around 5 or 6, in order to eat and get some light exercise in before school – so they don’t like to stay up exceptionally late. Eventually, she probably shifts her entire schedule forward a couple hours, staying up until 2 or even 3 in the morning, but sleeping in later. Really, she’s not a much of a morning person (this is partially why she drinks so much coffee).
What could wake them up? Too much sunlight, a particularly loud alarm, Anzu, her father’s footsteps coming up the stairs (he only comes upstairs when there’s some kind of problem, and his steps are loud). More pleasantly, the gentle rousing of a romantic partner, or only a little bit of sunlight peeking through the blinds, or just “having enough sleep to not need any more” (truly, the rarest occurrence).

SCREAM HI I MISSED THAT YOU REBLOGGED THE 3 SENTENCE FIC PROMPT AND AM HERE TO PLAGUE YOU. Mello/Near and hmmm HMMMMM hm. airport. <- really vague but i shall leave the details to you,
(okay I cheated, this is 5 sentences I'm sorry)
Amid the overlapping murmurs of conversation, the nondescript jazz music seeping through the airport speakers-almost aggressive in its blandness-and the lightly cacophonous squeals of a few particularly fussy children, Near almost doesn't register the uttered "Here" that's meant to alert him of the plastic bottle currently being lobbed at his chest.
"Thought you might want some water," Mello clarifies--and while Near can appreciate the simple gesture of goodwill (more than appreciate, actually, but he thinks it might be dangerous to dwell too much on the ideas of "Mello" and "unprompted goodwill toward Near" simultaneously in public), they do ostensibly have a budget for this trip.
"Why did you pay five dollars for this; I could have just waited until they served drinks on the plane."
"Who says I paid for it?" and Near should chastise him for that, should remind him that such risky and flagrantly disobedient behavior, while at times necessary for solving a case, is hardly appropriate for something as trivial as an overpriced bottle of water-but Mello has a half-cocked smile on his face that complements the suggestive tilt of his head, and his eyes somehow catch the sterile overhead lighting in a way that makes them look like they're sparkling, and Near...well, Near can't really find it in himself to reprimand him.
He opts for the only other logical course of action and kisses him instead.
send me a ship + a concept, and I'll write a 3-5 sentence microfic about it!

ugly maths.
i hate maths, right. i don't usually like numbers, and if i do like numbers it's gotta be an 8 or a 48 and nothing else.
thing is, i've recently caught myself doing maths again. ugly maths. the kind of maths that, really, i've been trying to avoid as much as possible because, well, it's ugly!
you... wanna see?
okay, fine... but don't say i didn't warn you!
Tumblr media
ugly, see? look at all those numbers! not a 48 in sight!
huh? what's that? you don't see what i'm on about? oh... oh! hang on, lemme just—
Tumblr media
better? yes? no? no? okay, what if i—
Tumblr media
mmh, yes. ugly numbers. see it now? can you see why they're ugly?
here, i can make it worse.
Tumblr media
these numbers are ugly. the maths they make me do is ugly.
now i'll level with you: the worst ones by far are the yellow numbers. the maths they make me do it the ugliest.
why ugly?
because it makes me ugly.
those numbers turn me into not only a suddenly number-obsessed fool, but a fool who also cannot understand these numbers and what they mean and why i feel like they reflect on me and my ability.
87, 75.
the thoughts are as follows:
• the orange numbers are big, so why are you being ugly about the yellow ones? you should be happy with what you have. so many nice big numbers! not everyone receives that.
• is it that there are two different audiences for these two different fics? perhaps. they are quite different works, with different appeals, and different themes. maybe you are reading too much into it.
• why are you obsessing over numbers anyway? you don't like maths! you left maths behind when you were 16, put it down!
okay, okay, fine! i'll put the maths down. right here, in fact!:
that 87 was an 83 at the start of the year. the 6161 it is attached to was a 5453.
4, 708.
ugly maths.
the 75 is a nice number. in fact, compared to 87, it is beautiful, radiant, enchanting. at the start of the year, 75 was 48. wow. now that is one sexy number!
27.
mmmm.
6161, 1061.
5100.
87, 75.
12.
mmmm.
you know, my most favourite comment left recently on a fic of mine was 2 characters long: :(
it made me :)
well, actually, it made me >:) because it was left in response, presumably, to one of the key scenes in a new chapter which left the exact impression on someone that i hoped it would.
they must be the only one who reacted like that, though.
1.
have i mentioned that that 87 and 75 include author responses?
i won't try to do more maths, there. it might not end well for me. the maths is making me tired enough as it is, and i have an early start tomorrow.
oh! but, that being said, i have another set of ugly numbers to show you, so keep 87 and 75 in mind.
ready?
838, 245.
(want a hint? the green numbers!)
838, 87. 245, 75.
9.6, 3.3.
ugly maths. it's ugly again, see? i don't like it. i'm seeing numbers within numbers within numbers, and i can't seem to stop!
the numbers make me ask new questions:
• why is it not good enough?
• people seem to engage more with one fic over the other, so shouldn't you prioritise?
• is all this maths this really good for you?
no, it isn't.
i want to avoid ugly maths. ugly maths makes me want to tear my hair out. it makes me want to start from scratch. it makes me want to grab someone and scream. it makes me want to cry and press a button that has tempted me many times before when the numbers become too ugly to bear.
ugly maths turn me into an ugly person.
ugly maths make me obsessive, paranoid, anxious, regretful, vindictive, spiteful, alone.
i hate maths. i hate numbers, just like, it feels, the numbers hate me.

sometimes you have a trigger that cannot be reasonably and easily accommodated for, because it would require the people around you to police themselves to an extent that is not healthy for them to do.
that doesn't make your triggers and your trauma any less real or valid or *deserving* of accommodations, but deserving does not necessarily always mean that those accommodations are possible.
sometimes the best way to handle your triggers is to recognize what triggers you and do what you have to do to handle them when they come up. find coping mechanisms that work for you, and as much as you're able to, be open with the people in your life about it. even if they can't make sure you never have to interact with something that may trigger you, they can be a support system for you to ensure you'll survive the blows as they come.
it's not always possible to avoid what triggers you and it's not always possible for others to do that for you. (to be clear: i'm not at all saying people should *seek out* content that they *know* will trigger them or that they shouldn't remove themselves from situations that are triggering when they have the ability to do so, but that sometimes it's not that easy.)
(disclaimer: this is not psychological advice and i'm not saying this applies to everyone.)

I don't know much about Just Desserts quite yet (I meant to look into it earlier but then tumblr made everything VERY user hostile to those of us without accounts, so finding info takes a ton more energy and dedication), but I really like Prince Ice Cream Sandwich's design! If there's one thing that never fails to grab my attention, it's cute characters dressed up all fancy <3 Can you draw something with him for requestober please? Whatever theme you think would make him shine!

Hey, can you re-imagine a wholy genderbent Deathnote, is too cursed?
Okay, it is SO funny that you mention this because I was talking to my Long-Distance Best Friend the other day about the fact that there is, apparently, (or at least was, at some point before the strike?) a plan to make a live-action TV series adaptation of this for Netflix. Which is...a whole other thing I don't want to get into, but ANYWAY.
The POINT is that we were talking about what would have to happen to make me have some modicum of hope that this might not be the worst idea ever (remember what happened the LAST time we did live-action Netflix DN, we got the 2017 movie no one needs to live through that again). And what I ultimately came up with was:
Every single character, except for Light and Raye, is now a woman. (Obviously this isn't wholly genderbent, but. It's close enough to this ask that I found it to still be a humorous coincidence.) I think in the hands of the right writer, it could be an interesting examination of misogyny and how baked-in that concept is to the justice system. (And I think it would lend extra context to the fact that Light was able to keep operating for so long. If the people opposing him are all women in a historically male-dominated field, they'd all have to contend with a type of professional and societal discrimination that he'll never have to, thus giving him an advantage. Also L would be a Weird Girl™, which would absolutely raise some interesting questions in terms of the scope of this character's influence and their societal perception. Also femslash Near/Mello would be canonically possible which is OBVIOUSLY the most important factor to take into consideration.)
Soichiro's difficulty in believing Light's guilt would gain an extra dimension if this character were also grappling with the societal expectations of motherhood (especially while being in a position of authority in a """masculine""" career). And Matsuda...I just think some woman, any woman, should get to shoot Light repeatedly in a fit of rage. (Also something-something calling women in the workplace idiots/making them the butt of the joke/consistently overlooking them, I think you could do something there.) I think this theoretical concept I spent way too much time thinking about really only works if, even though the major and supporting characters are women, it's still made clear that they work in an environment overwhelmingly occupied by men.
As for a FULLY genderbent story...Light as a female character is, to me, indeed an idea too cursed. I will not elaborate.
And I don't think the Shinigami experience the concept of gender in the way that we do, so tbh I'm not really sure a whole lot would change in that regard. But I do think a female Ryuk would be very funny.
Naomi being a man I think would be...not cursed, I just don't particularly enjoy it. But mainly that's because I am A Gay™, and I love thinking about women who are tough enough to have the word "massacre" as part of their nickname. :)
Misa being reimagined as a guy could be really interesting, though, given how a) the entertainment industry treats women differently from how it treats men, and b) the world at large generally expects men to react differently to trauma than women do. (Although I still very much prefer the version of Misa that serves as a deconstruction of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl). And I'd be curious to see what the viewer/reader response would be if this character were a man. (Mainly because, historically, audiences are a lot more positively receptive to extreme, unhealthy displays of devotion when they come from a male character than when they come from a female character, but this answer is already probably too long, so we don't have to talk about that.)
(Best Friend ALSO mentioned the idea of Rina Sawayama playing L, and I am now gay on a level I previously didn't ever think was possible, but we don't have to talk about that either.)
Uhhhh....TLDR, full-genderbent DN kind of cursed, but there are some really interesting ideas you could examine. (The one veto I'm gonna make is that I do not think this story works if Light is a girl, but-you guessed it-we really don't have to talk about that.)
Also, stan the stage musical for serotonin and clear skin!
