Random Death Note Headcannons (pt. 2)
pt. 1
L. Lawliet:
- Would canonically be the best ‘larp’ that there ever was. Truly the type of guy to hear about a show in passing and be able to easily convince people he’s been an OG fan since the pilot episode came out. People like Misa would be the perfect victims for his larp antics. An example of how this would play out is him convincing Misa that he’s been a fan of her since her first magazine cover. All the while Light tries to explain the lacking logic behind his lies, Misa just nods along with an excited ‘No way, Ryuzaki! I had no idea you were so into my modeling!” He wouldn’t even be the kind of person to larp for external validation, he would literally just do it out of boredom.
- L was like the ugliest kid ever. I’m not expanding on this. (I love him lmao).
- Growing up L had a plethora of mental tests run on him whether it be a simple IQ test or one of the more complicated methods of measuring intellect, and yet not a single psychological evaluation. He’d be evaluated by developmental pediatricians, occupational therapists, or child psychiatrists for days at a time and the results would be more or less the same each time. At the bottom of his patient chart would read something like ‘developmental markers of intelligence are exceptional. Side note-> PSYCH EVAL STRONGLY ADVISED’. He’d be sitting opposite of the doctor watching over him stacking blocks or whatever they make gifted kids do, all the while sitting in the most ridiculous manner with like twenty laffy taffy’s in his mouth because he read during one of his nightly doses of published research papers that sugar helped with cognitive skills.
- Threw a half assed tantrum when he was alone in his room one day to see what it felt like to be overwhelmed by emotion when he was like 5 years old. Didn’t really get it and well into adulthood was lost when it came to people making emotional gestures. This is what makes it so easy for him to do things like imprison and torture Misa in an effort to solve the Kira case. Her cries are genuinely going through one ear and out the other.
- Will literally clap when the plane lands and be the only one to clap. Slow, mechanical clapping.
- Is 100% lying when he says sitting that way helps his mental processing. He just likes sitting like that. And then he went and passed the bad habit down to Near like it was a recessive trait.
