Nearly every ship in Death Note can be summed up by this tweet.

ryuklight except ryuk jokingly calls light "the apple of my eye" and light thinks its the corniest thing to ever come out of his mouth

I love Light with separation anxiety. I want Light to have separation anxiety.

honestly ryuk & light’s relationship is so important to me and my enjoyment of death note fan content (or even canon media, like adaptations) really depends on their portrayal of them. it’s not really a shipping thing because i don’t really view their relationship in a romantic sense, but i also don’t know if i view it fully platonically. whatever they have going i just think that ryuk & light do have a connection that neither of them tend to acknowledge and maybe aren’t even fully aware of but it’s important to them, personally, as well as them as characters.

they’re basically each other’s closest, most secure/reliable relationship, and i think that brings them both some amount of comfort even if they don’t really realise it.

i think the reason they’re so secure in their relationship is because the rules are clear from the beginning: we’re both using each other to further our own goals; ryuk is a neutral party audience member in this situation, light will eventually die at ryuk’s hand. so then they don’t really have any reason to be at odds with each other because they know the other’s goals and intentions and how they align.

this especially applies to light, bc ryuk isn’t really all that bothered by that kind of stuff. again, he’s a spectator. but light — literally everyone is either for or against him, a pawn on the board, or in l’s case, the opponent. ryuk is the safest option to confide in or speak to because he knows ryuk isn’t part of the game.

that, plus the fact that they’re kindred spirits in that both were plagued by boredom and ennui that was greatly alleviated, basically eliminated (at least for a time) by their meeting, and that they spend pretty much all their time together for years on end, and i think you can kind of understand what i mean.

like it’s not necessarily romantic but i think it’s a level of closeness that would feel too intimate to share with anyone other than a partner for a lot of people, yk? but that’s just my opinion
