Dear Self: You Cannot Spend Sixty Pounds On A Manga Boxset.

[rionaleonhart]

SERIOUSLY, GUYS, SOMEONE WRITE/DRAW ME LIGHT/HIMSELF. PLEASE. HE IS SUCH A NARCISSIST AND THIS NEEDS TO EXIST. I have a mental image of Kira!Light pinning down non-Kira!Light's wrists and smirking at him, and it is amazing. I would love to bring it into the physical world. It is such a shame that I have no artistic ability whatsoever

"In truth," said the man who wasn't him, who - yes, Light Yagami could tell quite well, was simply a hallucination devised by his subconscious to exorcise the few last lingering doubts as to such an extreme course of action, a very mild case of disassociative identity disorder brought about by massive stress which was itself caused by the strange new world the notebook opened up, of course he was... "the old English system was best. A criminal was declared outlaw - outside the law. Since he had abandoned the law's strictures, he had abandoned the law's protections, and there would be no punishment for acting against him."

Snap, went the first shackle, and Light turned to look at it with an apathetic curiosity

[kadrin]

Snap the third shackle, on his bare ankle - his bare ankle? surely he was dressed, it wouldn't be proper for a Yagami to simply throw off his uniform after coming home... But, no, it was comprehensible. His mind, in a state of wildness, could go anywhere, and through his own inventiveness end up sabotaging a greater aim. To properly achieve what he needed to achieve, he would need to keep it focused. Contained. Shackled.

"You have thought along these lines before. These are not new philosophies, they have been passed down and down the lines, from great thinker to great thinker until finally they reach perhaps the greatest... and in you, in your circumstances, these philosophies finally find a way to express themselves. You have the tools to be the ultimate expression of the law. To do any less would be to let criminals go unpunished. To let criminals go unpunished would be to go traitor to the law yourself. To hold to consistency you must write at least one name in that book, and if you'll write one alone, make it your own."

Snap,

I'm going to just wait around and watch the Riona-flailing begin, okay.

Also hi you are sort of amazing.

[kadrin]

Hi! Thank you! It is cool of you to say! In the end I'm basically just a performing monkey, though, and I don't even have cymbals.

[rionaleonhart]

Amazing Light/Kira fanfiction is superior to cymbals in almost every way. Even in a band, amazing Light/Kira lyrics would exceed even the best cymbal-player.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY

YOU ARE AMAZING

It is such an effort not to break into a massive ridiculous grin and laugh in delight and flail off the sofa, but my brother is sitting next to me and he would probably wonder why and that would be awkward.

Right. First point: yes, you should have stayed up another forty-five minutes writing this. This was one hundred per cent the correct decision.

Second: LIGHT ANALYSING EVERYTHING

(all right, I am not going to be able to keep up a 'first, second, third' structure; my present state is far too gleeful to be so coherently expressed)

Light! Recognising the situation as a hallucination! Calmly analysing what aspects of the hallucination might represent! His musings on the significance of the shackles fill me entirely with delight.

Kira! Being so very persuasive! Seeming so very reasonable! Expressing the mindset of the criminal in mathematical terms! Being warm where Light is cold!

they have been passed down and down the lines, from great thinker to great

[kadrin]

I should not have just stayed up another forty five minutes writing that and if I did I should have known more about philosophy than vague memories and wiki-ing Thomas Hobbes. Oh well. AIN'T NO STOPPIN' THIS TRAIN WE'RE ON.

...one day I will actually write sex without immediately fading to black.

In conclusion, Death Note is essentially a murder mystery that tells you who the murderer is before he starts murdering.
