I just saw someone say the words "jokingly gaslight" this might be a good time to reintroduce the internet to the terms "lying" or perhaps "pranking" or even just "joking" on it's own

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Okay, say it with me guys…

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they'll believe that it's true, then that's lying.

If you are giving someone wrong information under the assumption that they'll ultimately realise that it's false, and that they will find this funny, then that's joking.

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they'll believe that it's true and that their response will be funny, then that's a prank.

If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they will notice the differences between your presentation of reality and their perception of it, and come to doubt their ability to judge what is and is not real, then that's gaslighting.

"Don't you tread too close to the line this time.  Don't get lead too close to the light this time.  You went far too close to the line this time, The line this time...  Oh!" ~ The Bitter Suite IV and V:  The Congregation and the Sermon in the Silt, The Dear Hunter  

The cathedral was almost empty, save for a few stragglers in the pews.  That's the way things happened on Sunday:  Anyone with a conscience would stay after Father Yagami finished his sermons.  Today, beneath the vaulted ceilings, Light had preached of trusting God.  He cited Matthew, Psalms, and Jeremiah with such conviction that even the staunchest unbelievers would have been moved by his words.   He had power and he knew it.  

"Father, forgive me, for I have sinned."   Electricity ran through Light, for the voice was that of the clever, quick-tongued boy.  This was one of his flock he'd taken to faster than most.  This was L.   The priest took a moment to compose himself before speaking.  “Child, confess your sins.”   “I have...”  A slow breath came from the booth.  Light hung onto L’s courage eagerly, knowing that if he would say what stained his soul, he could be redeemed.  And, praise be to God, L did:  “I have paid for favor in the world’s eyes.”   “How do you mean?  Have you bribed politicians, or...was the payment for pleasure?”  Light already knew the answer; the single dime left on the collection plate this morning told all.  It was a symbol Higuchi used to relay the fact that he’d given Light more souls to save from lust’s wicked clutches.  The pimp offered one to every man and woman who paid for his services, nudging them in the Church’s direction the morning after and telling them that donation would buy forgiveness as it had sex.   “Pleasure.”  It sounded as if L carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, unlike certain other members of Light’s congregation.  But was he a truly penitent soul...? “Go on,” Light encouraged gently.   L shook as he recounted the deeds done, the actions performed, the words whispered under the cover of nighttime.

I guarantee that whatever car mod you expect to see going into this is not going to be what you get

the funniest part of death note was when light thought, "The police are spying on me through cameras in my room. I need them to think I'm a normal high school boy." and then he proceeded to read a porn magazine for 5 minutes without cranking his chain. all while laying on his bed like this

[nico-robin-official]

The second funniest part of death note was L, the world's greatest detective, watching Light do this and going "yeah that's perfectly normal and exactly what you would expect from a young man his age. Nothing even slightly odd here."

[demonladytakkuri]

The fact so few people have mentioned the ensuing potato chip scene that followed wherein he was literally doing math homework with one hand, mass murdering with his other, all while eating potato chips in the most serial killer manner possible.

He gives the bag of chips a more lustful stare than the porn.

Which btw he had previously rigged with a portable TV to watch the news for people to murder, a piece of a page from the death note, and a tiny pencil. His entire plot hinged on the fact he's the only one in the house to like that specific flavor. If anyone grabbed the wrong bag or just poured his chips in a bowl for him before he got home, he would've been boned. He throws the incredibly expensive tiny TV in the trash immediately after too btw.

This scene is genuinely probably one of the most popular and heavily memed scenes in the entire series. For good reason. The cinematography. The way he bites into it like a dog ripping the head off a squirrel. The fact he, in the most serious and dramatic inner monologue, says "I'll take a potato chip.... and EAT IT!!!!" The sparkles. The slo-mo.

Just. Know your history, anime fans. This really shaped a generation and remains the one part of Death Note everyone remembers vividly even if they were never that into it.

Like the fact some of these memes are visibly more recent is horrifying. The impact of this entire episode on society is eternal.

love to see my ‘recent’ circa 2018 meme horrifying folks lmaooo (last one)

L, don’t you know you shouldn’t sleep with the enemy?

Every L prequel media operates from a place of “I can make him better” when they should come from a place of “I can and will show you that he is worse.” No more crying in orphanages. I want L pre-Death Note doing completely inexcusable things to get his suspects to confess. I want media which creates an environment in which L is not the hero against Kira but the lesser evil - and not even by that much. Anyway. Will not tag this I do not want to speak to the larger fandom abt anything approaching nuance lol.

what it’s like working with L when there’s cake 🍰
