idk :/ You'd think after AN it'd be more popular
/wants more Naomi/everyone >_>
and too good for Raye
I quite agree. I <3 Naomi sooo much.
She's the only anime character I've ever cosplayed, actually.
That would be very stylish
mmm, all her bike leather
Naomi is way too good for Raye! :|
Raye is such a misogynistic drip
Naomi deserves someone who appreciates her, man
.....ehh, I'm not wild about it, but to each their own
I'd like to read it done well
just for the challenge of it
man katie your plurks send me down memory lane, I was into DN in *high school*
ahaha remember how many people ragequit because L died?
XD I was spoiled for that but I didn't really mind....
it's not really spoiling but they just up and stopped reading because L died
DEATH NOTE ENDED WHEN L DIED and all that
then the rampant Near and Mello hate because they're not L
well that was over with quick....
.......mello is my favorite character ok
>_> well. mine too. /coughs, sits in corner
I wound up liking him way better than L and Light
of course at first I was like IT WON'T BE THE SAAAME WITHOUT L
THE BLONDE ONE WITH THE CHOCOLATE
originally Mello's design was supposed to be Near's and vice versa
I also heard they'd originally intended Mello to be the one to catch Kira
but the story-pacing screwed that up
he got the same treatment as Naomi
got too far too fast and had to be killed off
because honestly half the series is the writer pulling stuff out of his ass
yeah I think he says as much somewhere in interviews
I loved Death Note, but I have to be honest here
wrestling with this canon is like trying to put Godzilla in a dress
Isn't there some kind of error
where after the timeskip, Mello is either a year older or a year younger than he should be
there was just a DISAPPEARING YEAR OF MELLO'S LIFE
I don't have the materials or the patience to check it now
but I distinctly remember someone figuring this out :|a
I will have to look into it......
IDK, just check the dates in volume....seven?
I think that's the one L died in
or was it twelve. MAAAAAAAAAN I DON' EVEN KNOW
XDD I reread a couple times.... I'm horrid with dates, though sob
better than a friend of mine
I was sad when L died ;_; I was even spoilered for it
I mean ... it's hard to get into right off the bat since it's clear it was originally supposed to end with L
It's not 'baww, cannot go on without L' on my part, it's more the story was constructed such that L was in the process of getting proof
so it's like 'oh yeah, and now L's dead, but clearly Light isn't Kira, herpdederp'
eh? XD I'm not sure I get what you mean with that last bit
Oh, well like L setting up things such that he's like 'I do not like this rule' (must use DN at least 1x/month)
So he organizes to have the rule - the only rule that disqualifies Light and Misa as Kira - tested
THAT'S NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL
Especially considering that from the time Misa was first-first arrested they had physical proof that the Kira2 tapes were sent by Misa
HAHAHA L you and Near's faces are the best
and yeah, I see... idk maybe the rest of them just didn't... connect the dots, hahaha
Right. I mean L's a lot smarter than them, but then the Kira team spends like ... 5 years or something ridic running in circles
with Light - the always-been-suspected-as-Kira-guy at its' head
well, they also wanted to believe Light wasn't Kira, I think -- and selective denial is y'know
epic. humans are good at it. /snerk
L dies, Light tries to pretend he's L, L's death only gets reported via dead man's switch? Also not suspicious at all
Clearly Light's trying to take L's mantle, etc
I don't mind that they tried to make a ... 'add on'
I mind that they cocked it up so hard
ffffff sorry, what does 'dead man's switch' mean? and also what do you mean by 'add on'
A dead man's switch is something that activates when you die, which was what L had set up to announce when he died
but they didn't know about the dead man's switch -- plus Light constructed his good ol' paranoia argument
Well that was how Wammy's found out that L died to tell Mello and Near, but yeah the Kira investigation team didn't know
'add on' I mean taking the story beyond it's original intended ending and trying to stretch it
sometimes trying to execute that sort of thing is a 'filler arc' sometimes it really works
but ... I would have preferred to see more plot holes patched.
there were way more plotholes in the next arc than the original
the pace didn't feel as cohesive
it just... wasn't as intense. even though I loved it anyway. >_> but I am Biased
Yeah I'm Biased in the other direction

but I have to agree completely
the issue is that there needed to be a stronger way of creating and building the new tension and I think the work wasn't enough
to make it like ... really intense and instead just like ... fizzed more than it should ahve
yep. though it might've also been a natural consequence of Light's new position idk. there was less push and pull
and more of... idk, siege?
Yeah, the issue w/ putting Light in the 'siege tower' is that he largely has all of the information so it weakens the Wammy kids
yeah and it becomes more about chipping away at his position than about keeping him on his toes
yeah which is a lot less fun then like watching Light be really tense and moving his way through things
so yeah storywise, first part was better
characterwise /sits in the second half
I'm going to steal your Mello to my game if this reserver doesn't app
the mod's bringing in Light soon
how IS the game so far, btw?
all I know about it is 'wake up in nuclear fallout with dubious memories!'
also re: the Mello reserve have you read her fics? they're really good |D
It's going pretty well, the amount of log tagging is lighter than I'd like, they allow both prose and action tags
And I haven't read her fics but if she doesn't show up I'd reallly like a Mello if only to make sure that L and Matt might work together
who knows how Mello would feel about having L around
probably pantswettingly happy but you never know
depends when he's from? XD;;
depends on if there's a Near, too
Well Mello's from 'when he dies' and Near DNE yet
you mean Matt's from deathpoint and there's no Near? XD
and Matt's from either the day he dies or the day before, I forget
XD nice. how is the Matt so far?
I mean he's a dick and a troll, but pretty good
eeeee you guys are so very shiny
how is the pace over there? :3c
Yeah, looks like the mod is bringing in Light with all his memories from SP which is ... yeah
Siren's Pull, over there Light and Big Boss had a relationship and the Light *and* Big Boss will be there w/ memories
...... ah. the place where Light announced he was Kira? :|a..............
I took L from a relatively early canon point (approx ep 9 of the anime) so I'm slightly worried about ... explosions and ded L's
tbh if you do get that Mello I am half-tempted to try a timeskip Near. depending on the pace of the place
It's technically 1 day = 1 day but the log tagging is light
there's some decent comment spam to be had
but it's not super fast paced, I keep up pretty easily with a few tags a day tops
pffffff XD DN characters and commentspam.....
I don't comment spam, the communication devices are bugged
when I had Mello in disc he was SO PARANOID on the comm devices ._.
in PP you can get them dechipped at least
the people or the devices?! XD
the devices, the people don't have chips
haha I thought so. but that's an interesting feature. :3c
otoh the people have a weird mark on their neck. L needs to investigate that shit too, but this week is dechipping
this is an L-muse we're talking about
