Kira Death Note - Tumblr Posts

new au art..

okay okay get ready for me yapping. there was some scam bot calling me on messenger in 2023 summer, named "Margit Ország". the pfp of the bot was some AI generated picture of an old woman, with heavy eyebags and lipstick. it was some kind of credit card scam, but since my Death Note obsession got back, i decided to make this really weird crack AU for it. now there was another scam bot, named "Szilágyi Balázs" who was spamming emails. fun fact, Szilágyi Balázs is some sort of chef in Hungary apperantly. so in this AU, Szilágyi is Kira, scammig criminals with porn ads (those 'Emily is 5 miles from you' kinds), so they meet up at a place he plans and then he kills them there. and Margit is MIsa, but with a little twist. she wants to be Kira (and the Bingo Master in a little side story). Her plan is to kill Szilágyi later. while Szilágyi thinks he's manipulating Margit, she's actually manipulating him. another fun fact, i drew this in class on the shittiest quality paper and a random market i found under my desk (it wasnt even mine)

Heres the thing about Light Yagami that some of y'all don't get:

The whole, entire God shtick... That was a self defense mechanism.

Far before he came to his decision to start going all God of the New World murder bitch on everyone, his first two kills were practically accidental. He wrote down their names, not believing it would even work...

And when they did, it BROKE him.

We literally see him have a mental breakdown about taking two human lives, he's terrified and disgusted at what he's done. We even see how he talks himself out of it, how he clings so desperately to the only justifications he can find:

"But they were criminals" "They were harming others" "The world is better without them" "Someone had to do it" "Only I COULD do it".

In his mind, the initial push to start doing what he does isn't his own arrogance and ego... It's the fact that he's the only one capable, and more importantly, he's the only one that's already started doing it.

His hands are already soiled.

If he killed someone, it MUST'VE been for a good cause (otherwise how can he live with himself?).

If it was for a good cause, then it needed to be done.

If someone needed to do it, who better than the man who A. Can do it silently without being detected and B. Has already killed someone, and therefore is already 'impure'.

He takes it on like shouldering a burden, it's his own way of taking responsibility and dodging it all at once.

In fact I'd even go so far as to wager that one of the reasons he chose to make himself known might well have been that, subconsciously, he realized that he too would need to be stopped.

...

And yes, I hear your cries. "But Light was talking about cleaning up the world even before he found the Death Note!"

Well, yes.

And the manga goes explicitly out of its way to show that this is a perfectly reasonable line of thinking. Even the most mild mannered folk that desperately tried to stop Kira, however briefly, considered if he was actually doing more good than harm. That's half the point of Matsuda as a character.

Hell, think of yourself. Have you never heard of a heinous, awful, unjustifiable crime and thought to yourself that that person ought to be killed? Ought to suffer, even?

I certainly have. I'm sure many of you have, aswell.

And let's not forget that Light was the son of a police officer. Ever since he was young, he's been exposed to stories of awful crimes, and he's not heard very much about why people may commit those crimes. He may even have seen his father injured or hospitalised because of criminals.

...

Light definitely had some psychological issues stemming from his upbringing that pushed him over the edge and caused him to go as far as he did - that's a given. If he didn't, it wouldn't be an interesting read.

But at the end of the day, it's extremely easy to see how anyone thrown into Light's situation could slip and fall into his ideology.

Kira being Light's oc would explain his Mary sue-like behavior tsk tsk

I feel like we as a society don't discuss that light, even jokingly, was like 'pssh shinigami eyes are STUPID!! but if you gave me super cool wings I'd give up half my life-span' enough. you can't tell me he wasn't doodling an oc age 13 that had two massive wings and different coloured eyes and-

Matsuda: I think-

Literally everyone else: Shut up Matsuda

L: I think you may be Kira

Light:

Ryuk: Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw, he is onto you

Agreed! I'm so glad they gave him a perfect life because no one can use trauma as an excuse for his actions! The only reason he killed people is that he was bored and wanted to be God!

my favorite thing about death note will always be the fact that they didn't give light a tragic backstory to justify his actions, he was simply an entitled little bitch with a fucked up concept of what's morally right or wrong

Death Note in a nutshell!

Any other Death Note fans wonder if Kira made things worse for victims of abuse? Like, it's hard enough for people to ask for help in those situations but the added fear that asking for help could result in someone's death probably made it impossible for many people.

Light never really thinks about the negative ways Kira could affect the public or maybe he just doesn't care about people getting hurt as long as he doesn't have to see it.

For my lovely readers who have been following this story, the next chapter will be out tomorrow or the day after <3

I can't thank you all enough for your patience.
