a comic of a couple of my ocs and the dynamic that they have

interaction source!

How would a female light, L, and a male misa, sayu, takada, hall, and yuri be in your opinion?

I've talked about female Light and L at LENGTHHH on this blog because they're my Brand™; I think most recently I answered a similar ask here a couple months ago!

That being said, let's discuss the girls as boys. I'm not a big F→M genderswapper most of the time bc I think male characters already hog the majority of pretty much every fandom's attention and I hate to scratch the few female characters we have; however, I love the concept of this thought exercise, so I'm down to play.

Misa

If Light is female she is fucking furious that the second Kira is a GUY, first of all, and I think there's a strong gendered dynamic between Light's controlled, highly thought-out kills and Misa's random acts of violence. She's like OF COURSE this RANDOM DUDE is BLOWING UP MY SPOT WITHOUT THINKING. Furious.

That part aside I think Misa is largely the same except he gets treated more seriously. He also probably catches a little bit of joking homophobia even though he's not gay just because he is still a little on the effeminate side and interested in like male gothic lolita stuff. When he and Light start dating people think they oddly make sense because she's a masculine "straight woman" and he's a feminine straight guy. M!Misa thinks it's true love and talks a lot to Light about marrying her and settling down and having a family until Light tells him to cut the shit or she'll dump him. He's still an idol and he's branded as being kind of #forthegirls but he privately kind of disdains his female fanbase (though he'd never admit this) after Kira hits the scene just because none of them measure up to Light in his eyes. He thinks L is cute and has offered multiple times to teach her about makeup and stuff (he is an expert; he's never offered this to Light because Light is Naturally Perfect™) and L thinks he's kind of inherently a hilarious little person.

Sayu

Sayu gets babied simultaneously more and less as a guy than she does in canon. He's not expected to help cook or do housework but his parents are annoyed that Light helps him with his homework constantly and that he's thoroughly academically outdone by his big sister. They're frequently on his ass about eventually getting a job and supporting a family someday and putting EFFORT into his schoolwork and he's like WHEN AM I GOING TO APPLY THE QUADRATIC FORMULA IN MY DAILY LIFE. Most people expect him to become a cop like his dad but I don't think his family actually does; they've all come to grips with the fact that that's Light's domain and Sayu's not quite cut out for it. I think he's Sachiko's favorite and Light is Soichiro's.

After Mello kidnaps him I think things are much the same. He's unable to hide the fact that he's undergone traumatic shock and has a nervous breakdown that results in Sachiko caring for him for the rest of her life. I think college was a time when he had really started to flourish socially and academically and having him completely collapse after that is hard for Sachiko to cope with.

Takada

Frankly I think everything about Takada would be almost exactly the same but her kidnapping and murder would be less fucking nuts. Like we're not stripping a man naked and wrapping him in a sheet to cover himself. Otherwise everything is played pretty much exactly the same.

I'll be honest and say I don't know enough about Halle and Yuri (especially Yuri, whose appearance is very brief!) to have a lot to say about either of them as dudes. I think they'd be very similar to the way they canonically are bc there's not much there to change.
