Great Minds... (Death Note drabble)

so you guys prob saw it coming...but i had to write a little drabble for Death Note... it was killing me not to (and that's the only time i can actually seem to write) it's just a little L introspective piece... i dunno how spoilery it is... nothing too blatant plot-wise

Great Minds... (rated G) )


i still might write that Kira/Misa relationship sketch i was telling [info]faoiltiamataniabout.. they're both so screwed up.. it'd be fun to explore... i'm also thinking about an L/Light fic (when Light is not Kira) but I'm not sure where I would go with it...

also related to deathnote but on a completely different tangent, i was browsing the deathnote comms just now and i noticed someone posted a pic of a person cosplaying as Light posing by the scene of a car accident while writing in his Death Note.. in the comments it said that no one was actually injured in the accident (u can tell from the pic that it's prob just a fender-bender) and supposedly the cosplayer verified this before posing but it's still pretty callous to be finding amusement and another's misfortune to this degree... i mean snapping pictures and posting em on an LJ comm? to make matters worse someone posted this comment to the post: 

Call me an inhumane... person, for all I care, I find the pic amusing. Don`t see why so many people are angered/disturbed by this... even is somebody did get hurt or even died or anything of that sort-- you don`t know the people, you don`t know if anyone got hurt or not, you don`t know why it happened-- why do you care?

which just horrified me, and made me realize why wars and suffering and all the crap that's wrong with the world persist... it's because ppl like this exist... i mean r u freaking serious? "i'm just going to care about me and what happens to me, screw every other human being that walks on this earth, no one else's problems matter but mine"  

part of what makes death note such a disturbing series is the way Kira/Light justifies murdering a bunch criminals before ever letting them stand trial, and how he can make his actions seem legitimate to a sizable percentage of the population... it's supposed to horrify you, make you question your own ideas about crime and criminals... i don't think you're supposed to admire Kira for anything more than his intelligence... and i think that was why the story took the turn it did (see my previous post for exactly which turn that was).. to make us see that Kira/Light is the BAD GUY

anyway...I'm off my soapbox... i'm sure there are a ton of ppl that disagree with me... i bet a bunch of them are the same ppl who ridiculed kucinich when he said during the debate that terrorists should be captured and tried in an int'l court of law and not assassinated at every opportunity... 

when did people stop being actual people?

omg

DeathNote anime (aka OMGWTFBBQ??!?!?!)

so I got caught up on all my anime in the past 6 hrs...inlcuding Lovely Complex and RomeoxJuliet.. but nothing had me prepared for what I'd been missing in Death Note...

CUT FOR EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPS, PROFANITY, AND PUNCTUATION -- oh and DEATHNOTE ANIME SPOILERS UP TO EP 29  )



this series is so insane.. and thought-provoking... and crazy ...and deep.. and total crack... i am slightly afraid of the person who thought up these plotlines and characters... much like the way stephen king freaks me out.. i dunno he always looks slightly demented/unbalanced to me in pictures...

and curse you [info]smartycat for getting me hooked on this series in the first place! are you even watching the anime????
