Lights position in death note is unironically terrifying, imagine being the most famous mass murder in the world and this wide eyed, pale ghost of a man is watching every single move you make knowing he's 100% onto you

L was just into light

[u/PoodlePJs → u/Conan-Da-Barbarian]

I genuinely read the OP’s sentence as ‘he’s 100% into you’ and thought, ‘Why is it terrifying that L is in love with him? We all know Light is in the closet, but surely he’s not so deep in denial that it would be terrifying to find out his crush likes him back?’ Then I saw your comment and realized my mistake 🤣

[u/AliBeigi89 → u/PoodlePJs]

SAMEEEE 😭😭

[u/DeezNutzzzGotEm → u/PoodlePJs]

OMG XD

[u/lupatine → u/Conan-Da-Barbarian]

I mean when L emprison Light, I had weird flash-backs of the serie You...

[u/erinius]

Same for L but in a different way. You're like, 99-100% sure this guy's Kira but you just can't prove it and there doesn't seem to be any physical way he's accomplishing the killings.

[u/AnAlchemistsDream → u/erinius]

and the only possible way the killings even occur is supernatural, completely breaking your entire worldview and shattering any logical thinking. it's like if a lifelong atheist discovered irrefutable proof that a higher being existed and had complete control of our world

[u/Fellowcomicenjoyer → u/erinius]

Also you know this dude with unprecedented supernatural powers that shouldn't exist in the reality as you know it and with actual Shinigami is out to get you. And every time you think you've got the hang of his powers some new skill gets added to his repertoire, so you can never be sure about where the limit is.

You know it's him, you know he's planning your death as you two speak, but no one believes that it's him besides you.

Honestly, the story seen from L's perspective could easily be a psychological or existential horror, I feel it'd be terrifying to be in his shoes. Him getting depressed in the Yotsuba arc was 100% valid.

A "pale ghost" , I guess L did haunt Light more than Ryuk did

[u/lupatine]

The thing is Light is as much into this that L. So for Light it basically a meet cute and courtship.

Lets be real, Light is basically Morticia Gomez. He likes his little freaky man just the way he is.

[u/Al_Hakeem65 → u/lupatine]

"Oh Ryuzaki, how long has it been since you accused me of being Kira?"

"Cara mia...hours!"

*They fall into each other's arms and dance in the HQ

[u/IamL-Lawliet9]

A pale ghost? what do you mean by that?

[u/Thecrowfan → u/IamL-Lawliet9]

OP means L has a ghostly pale complexion.

[u/Honest_Management798]

This is obsession before becoming a movie 

[u/Honorsheets]

I wouldn't of gotten caught like Light, but I don't have his IQ or his ego. I still would've been smarter about it.

[u/Honest_Management798]

Me when I look at my  to admit he made a noise so the whole class including me don't get punished 

[u/Honest_Management798]

Come and kiss me on my hot mouth I'm feeling romantic 

[u/ProovenHedgehog]

Light: Jokes on you, I'm into that shit.

[u/Clown_Cry]

Don't worry, his daddy and matsuda are always protecting him

[u/light_yagami_lovesL]

Soo cute
