hiya! for the dn ask game, i would like to ask #s 21, 19, and 5!
hello and thank you @korrororo! And thank you for making this fun ask meme!
21. A Death Note fanwork that you’ve made and are proud of:
Okay, TECHNICALLY I think the one I put the most work into and that I am proud of in a way was a bigass Beyond Birthday fic I wrote like 10 years ago where Beyond picks up the Death Note, finally learns what his shinigami eyes are all about, and then terrorizes L with it for a while in a way that actually legitimately captures L's attention and makes L sweat. Proud of it because it was like 50k words long and because I worked really hard on stuff like trying to get all the rules right, finding a realistic way for L and Light to somehow still meet up in this alternate universe, and for also coming up with clever little ways for L to figure shit out about B (stuff like that L figured out B could somehow READ his name by sight because he was mispronouncing "Lawliet")... I am NOT proud enough of it to actually post it anywhere for anybody to read it right now though, because I know that it has massive flaws in it as well, and the quality of fic is so amazing in this fandom and there are so many writers I admire that I interact with here on the regular, and I'm extremely hard on myself with my own attempts at writing and only ever see the embarrassing imperfections in what I write.
If we are talking about fanworks I've made that are still actually posted for people to see at the moment, then HMMM I still quite enjoy the genderbends I've drawn of L and Light! they are truly very special to me, and I was extremely flattered afterwards when some others were inspired to draw their own versions of them and shared them with me as well!
(Here's a tag to browse if you wanna see some of the other excellent artists' renditions that I've collected here, too [X])
19. What would be your staple Kira-catching outfit?
HONESTLY it's kinda hard to beat L just showing up in jeans and a T-shirt and not even doing anything like wearing a mask to hide his face the entire time he's interacting with the guy he is almost entirely positive is Kira. To me that's one of the most underrated and badass bits of characterization about him overall.
PERSONALLY though I guess I maybe wouldn't mind decking myself out in a big yellow rain slicker and a hoodie and carrying around a super nosey logbook about my peers, like Harriet the Spy...
5. A scene that makes you laugh:
One of my fave little manga moments is L going: "Who asked you, Watari?" whenever Watari butts in and embarrasses him in front of everybody during his big dramatic testing of Aizawa's loyalty scene... SUCH a petulant little "god mom, get out of my room!!!" moment from the best detective in the world, and also just a phrase that I find extremely fun to say
