was reminded of this hilarious comic again after seeing it on my dash; so I decided to translate it since I could read most of it on my own anyhow. That said I’m still a beginner in Japanese, so while I’m confident I captured the original meaning of the comic, I could be off on a few words (I also deliberately chose to change certain words—same original meaning, just so it flows better in English).

Anyway, I’m a sucker for comics that parody scenes/panels of the original manga, so this was perfect to me. The original doujinshi is Orange Note.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

My ideal no-notebooks fluff-only Death Note AU is like… The jewel in the Tokyo PD’s crown, almost completely dead-inside genius detective Light Yagami, meets the mysterious freelance detective L on the job the first time a case tricky enough to outlast each party’s tendency to solve crimes before the other one can hear about them crops up. They take a personal interest in each other because you gotta and we start in on a very standard romance meet cute plot with L slowly melting this frosty perfect ice queen’s hard outer shell, except that instead of being soft and vulnerable on the inside Light’s shell conceals a misanthrope with delusions of grandeur and general raging asshole who would sell anybody but his immediate family to the devil for a warm chicken salad sandwich. Everyone else is like “…Please put it back,” but L is proudly watching the proceedings while going, “He’ll never achieve self actualization if he doesn’t embrace his sociopathy. It’s good to be yourself.” Naturally, L is humanized in time with this via transitioning from a fancy letter and messages to a voice to a (**big reveal**) person. After Light embracing his true self proves to involve wrapping the case with some technically legal but morally extremely questionable actions he gets disowned/disowns himself and they run away together to a neutrally located non-Japan non-England country to live on the top level of an unnecessarily large building that they own and set up there as detective partners. All their clients like Light best at first because he’s hot and knows how to be charming and otherwise use his face for something besides creepy staring, then eventually gravitate to L when they realize that Light is a habitual liar who cackles maniacally as a hobby and L actually believes in the innate value of human life. Neither ever fully grows out of seeing the other as their pet weirdo. They solve 7000 crimes and eventually die middle aged in a shootout. They arranged for this to domino effect to that case being wrapped up even in the event of their untimely demise beforehand. Everybody expects it to come out that they were secretly married in the following legal proceedings but what’s actually revealed is that L has already been legally dead for 12 years.

our little new atomic age

my friend and I were talking about this but I don't think people talk about the ending credits of death note enough. Light was dying, by himself, like a dog, in an abandoned building, just bleeding out after being caught and exposed as Kira. and as he was fading away, knowing that he just lost, he hallucinated L standing in front of him. and he showed comfort and acceptance on his face as they watched each other. canonically, L had been dead for years. he wasn't the one to expose him, he shouldn't even be in Lights head anymore, should have just been another obstacle that he passed and forgotten about after he died, but as he laid dying, he hallucinated L standing with him, with obvious comfort on his face. He could have hallucinated Soichiro or his mom or sister or misa or even near as a little "fuck you, you beat me" moment but ??? he saw L. it was a very "i lost, too, but we'll see each other again" moment

He's waiting for Light to finish his classes

haven’t colored a full piece in ages but :’)

this is so hot and for what

Happy 4/13!
