Welcome to the 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞 (ˈdā-lē ˈrā-nē) blog! : daily, as in a newspaper publication ; Reine, as a shorter form of Reinette. intentionally mispronounced as “rainy”
This is a place for me to talk about my OC, Rie! (see About Rie) I'll be sharing anything from thoughts and fun facts to canon interactions, OC interactions and art. See Interaction Guidelines - Before You Follow for information on potential 16+ content.
Rie is an OC, not a self or reader insert, see here for longer explanation.
For further information and guidelines on asks and interactions, please see the links above.
So glad to meet you! I'm Touta Matsuda's wife. Before Matsuda was fired from the Task Force, during our wedding, I heard of you from L. Okay- are you guys in a relationship? If you are, when are you getting married?? I'd be so glad to come!!!
(OOC: Forgive me if my OC is being weird. She is oblivious to some social cues when she talks to others. She's an idiot just like Matsuda. It's a dumb x dumber ship hehe)
hi! roleplaying makes me uncomfortable both because of specific experiences & because of what I go over here, so I won't respond in roleplay fashion, but I'd love to draw our OCs together sometime if you have a colour reference!! she seems like a sweetheart!
also as to the question, Rie and L are already married (legally) & they never had a ceremony haha. their relationship is a relationship in a way, but they don't really have a label & they like it like that. I'm still working on how they work and how to explain them but the best way to do it is probably they're L and Rie... though of course that doesn't explain much BFBFBB
you guys know the death note the musical song We All Need a Hero or whatever the translated title is? idk if I'm remembering correctly but I feel like it cuts to L after it ends? well, we'll pretend it does for this.
I've been thinking, Rie and L looking at a computer as the song comes to a close, and Rie heads to exit, shaking her head at something L has said before turning back and singing just the one line –
Rie: My personal hero...
L: Don't be silly.
Rie: Alright.
L: ...Good-night.
That's it. It feels very sweet to me, so I wanted to share.
if anyone remembers my MCR ask game, I'd assign RieLiet The Light Behind Your Eyes. (though any MCR song is RieLiet coded if you look close enough. fact.)
When I'm here, no longer
You must be stronger and
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
I want to animate. I need to learn to animate. I need.
Rie and L have really different personalities and worldviews and fears and hopes and yet they are at the same time similar. A lot is said and a lot is unsaid between them.
★━━─・‥…━━━☆
Rie stumbles into the room and for a moment L thinks she's going to drop on the floor for another impromptu nap but she raises her head and points at him.
That is the first thing L notices. Soon after he notices a second thing, Rie's red face, and a third, her tears, and when she begins speaking he notices a fourth, her slurring of each word, and by then he's quite sure the woman is drunk.
"Oi, L!" she declares, still pointing at him.
"Ah. Yes, Rie?" the man enquires, finger stuck between his lips as he peers forward at her from his perch.
She sniffles and wipes her face with her sleeve, gestures wildly with bottle in hand. "L, you gotta promise me something. Hey? You gotta promise, right?" Between her tears and inebriated state, Rie sounds oddly like she has a cold – her words are quite difficult to make out, and perhaps she realises this, because she really is repeating herself a lot, L notes in something akin to alarm.
"Promise what, Miss Rie-san?"
"If you die," she tells him through snot and alcohol, "if you die you gotta wait for me, okay? You gotta promise me, L, you gotta -" she hiccups and drags her sleeve over her face again, misery pulling her lips into a pout. Rie sobs loudly, speaks through it. "'F you die and I don't you'll wait for me, right? You won't – follow no cats into the woods or – open the gates or whatever, you'll wait for me, right? You gotta promise, L!"
And she is crying so much and her drink is spilling on the carpet and L is a man equally hungry and thirsty, paralysed between food and water, between telling her he won't wait, he will, he doesn't know, he doesn't believe in the afterlife, what is wrong with you, Rie, shut up and go to bed, when Rie really does collapse, limbs akimbo on the floor.
Dead asleep.
L scoots his chair over and stares at her red, tear stained cheeks, then pulls a blanket from the couch to fall over her.
The man stares at Rie for a moment longer, then swivels his chair back to his computer.
I love your Rie art such a cool looking oc! I wanted to ask if L has any particular fond memory of her?
P.s. seriously I love death note ocs and yours is one of my top favs!
-🍪anon
AJSJSJJSJK HI 🍪 ANON!!! I was wondering where you and 🍰 went! nice to see you again!!
and thank you SO much!! :D it really means the world to me when people say they like my OC/art it makes me inexplicably happy.
To answer your question – I don't think L would have ONE particular fond memory of Rie, more like a series of snapshots. A photo album of memories if you will haha. Small things, like Rie bringing him a plate of cake as he works and kissing his cheek. I think he'd treasure those small moments the most.
And I like to think Rie & L have a lot of those small moments. Even though the big things in their life tend to go badly, they get those little things in their life to enjoy. For a little while.
tagged by @rinneroraito and @maevearcher sooooooooo OC stuff on main !! Rie will be answering the questions and I'll comment in blue. this is actually good timing; I have to practise writing in Rie's voice for 1429.
───⋆⋅˚₊‧♱‧₊˚⋅⋆ ───
Were you named after anyone? Nope. It sounds like I was, though. Reinette. Euuck.
When was the last time you cried? No comment. (Rie either cries very very easily or not at all. not sure about this one.)
Do you have any kids? Not yet.
Do you use sarcasm a lot? No.
...
That was sarcasm.
What is the first thing you notice about people? Four different things at once. Or more. It's hard to pick out each strand of thought. You see and notice lots of things at once, it's just which one you consciously think about first. The thing I consciously think about first is what I would do to/with this person in an apocalypse. You never know when you'll need to know.
What is your eye colour? Purple. sparkles and bats her eyes. (Naturally, it's dark brown. Rie wears coloured contacts.)
Scary movies or happy endings? Okay, those things aren't mutually exclusive, and my favourite is a mystery book with psychological thriller elements.
Any special talents? Many. All of them even.
Where were you born? France.
Do you have any pets? Yes! My kitties Synonym and Requiem. L told me their names were too long so if you agree you can call them Sin and Query.
What sort of sports do you play? Kind of rude to assume everyone plays sports and it's only a question of what kind. (Rie figure-skated for a while, but I think that's it.)
How tall are you? 140 cm. That said the last time I measured myself was at 13. Eh? You want me to estimate? Numbers?!
What was your favourite subject in school? Humanities and Social Sciences (I think this is just history in most places but oh well). And also literature. And also languages. And also–
What is your dream job? I'd like to be a lecturer. Imagine that. Talking at people for a living. Blah blah blah. Things I'm interested in. And they're not allowed to interrupt. I might side hustle as a professor.

idk who to tag, so anyone who has an OC, go ahead!!
Rie likes to shave L's facial hair when he forgets (always). During the Kira case, this includes his eyebrows.
They give little "kisses" to each other by blinking twice. Kind of like butterfly kisses but for two really busy people one of whom is running around the room.
Sometimes Rie will take one of L's hands and place it on her head.
Rie has narcolepsy and L has insomnia, so she'll often end up collapsing on the nearest piece of furniture as she tries to stay awake with him. L will work a few minutes before putting a blanket over her and a stuffed rabbit in her arms.
Riri took a bullet for L once.
Sometimes they play games they make up. Such as, "every time one of us scores a hit while practising martial arts on one another, we pose a question, fact or solution related to the current case," or "I'll give a meaning and you will come up with a word, considering likely historical development and country of origin." How fun!
Rie strokes L's nose to calm him down.
L likes playing point and clickers on a Nintendo DS. He'll lie in Rie's lap as he does. She tends to read something while this goes on.
Sometimes L likes to reach out his hand and have Rie reciprocate by pressing their fingertips against his.
L likes Rie's cooking a lot, but she has to chase him out of the kitchen, unless she wants all the batter to be eaten before the cake can even be baked.
Rie puts rubber ducks and soap in L's hair in the bathtub. He does not appreciate these efforts.
Riri likes nose kisses more than anything else, so she makes L give her lots.
also this is for Rie's HTR13 ref!!! I was kind of thumbnailing I guess but 50/50 I'll use it as the sketch. I'm actually gonna start her story soon I hope!!!!! 🩷🩷🩷
