Hiii! don't remember sending this before, so i'll send it again lol, thank you so much for your fanfics! They're forever in my heart <3
I might have already written this in the comments or somewhere else, but after all this time, I've come to the conclusion that 1) Light might be holding on to us as the last shred of his humanity and/or as a reminder of the times when he was still human, even though he won't admit it 2) even in "The write way" he's deep down fond of us and even kind of jealous (his fragile ego can't even handle Matsuda lol). That, or i'm just being delusional :D anyway, <3!
we're all delusional in thinking he's 1) straight 2) would/could love anything, but it's what ties us together.
MY GLORIOUS AUTHOR. I KNOW U MUST BE VERY BUSY BEING AN ADULT AND STUFF BUT I BEG OF YOU. FINISH THE SEQUEL OF ORPHIC ON QUOTEV PLEASSSE. I think about that fanfic at least once every other day and it is still the best fic i've read from any fandom or author before. Like genuinely haunts me how good it is and how well you characterize Light. My parents are getting a divorce so i've been reading so many fics to keep my mind off it and i keep wandering back to Orphic bro I've read the whole thing like five times by now. ANYWAYS. I LURV U SM KER, UR WRITING BRINGS ME WHIMSY.
for u girl (or guy or NB) fuck it ill reopen quotev lets run it.
will always check up on ur blog every once in a while whenever i remember tumblr exists. ur writing is the best . miss u!
this is kind!
I do write it's just for a different fandom atm!!! i just have to write whatever inspiration strikes. i pray to return to finish light and reader's story. they deserve a happy ending.
This is my AO3!!
haha hiiii ty for being around! i'm anticipating once the bar exam is done and im free i will finally finally write again here.
i'm proud how my writing has developed (OBVIOUSLY given i was in hs when i started writing online and now im literally an adult) and hopefully i get to share it with you all once more < 333
U need to comeback to this acc bc death note smut is getting a resurgence on tumblr
NOOOO i just got finished ovulating!!! me in ovulation would have gone crazy. it's also resurging on my tiktok. i think DN comes back every 5 years bc it was back in 2020 too.
bar exam in a week! then we'll see how my loins are feeling.
omg I can’t believe I found you again. Orphic and its sequel are seriously the BEST fanfictions I have ever read. AND YOU UPDATED THE SEQUEL WITHOUT ME KNOWING?! “It’s been a year daddy I really miss you” FINISH WRITING THE SEQUEL ITS WHAT MY HEART NEEDS. ALR ILY BYE. 🙏🩷
girl (gender neutral) r u in my computer? genuinely asking bc no way u sent this is the day after i finally reopened my WIPs? no way u know NO WAY.
that's not to say to be too hopeful - i have the bar exam at the end of the month so like 99.99% of my tie is dedicated to that, but it is to say be a bit hopeful bc ooooh when i get stressed i revert to being 17 and everyone here knows what i did when i was 17 . . . so . . . just saying.
I have been a long time reader of Orphic and I just seen you updated the sequel almost 11 months ago! I just started rereading and now as an adult I have a few new Headcanons that I wanted to say! I love you and I will be in touch for the upcoming updates ❤️
-If light never got the Death Note, him and the reader would have gotten together in a normal way. I think there was a natural magnetism they stare together and chemistry that works for them as teens and young adults. Like why was the first person the reader used to cover herself was light or why light almost immediately makes her an accomplice to scheme. Maybe in a different world they would have been a normal couple and not Yandere control trip that Death note light their in now.
-talking about teenage years, Light has always had a crush on reader. A smart, snarky, and independent girl who didn’t worry about hurting his feelings. There is no way he didn’t crush on her even if he wasn’t aware of it. Like the reader is a foil for Misa in every way, maybe why his obsession got more twisted while she was away. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
-with that being said, I believe light has always seen reader as his queen of this new world he wants to create. Like with every other girl, he just knew he didn’t want them like he wanted reader. At some level, he as some kind of respect for her intelligence for figuring him out but also just kind of lusted after her in a way. Because why didn’t he just kill her when he had so many chances to kill or always kept her in the loop of his plans before L died, he just needed her to be a sound board without any real opinion. He sees her like Hera to his Zeus, she is a lesser god but it doesn’t make her less of a god to others. Well, the others thought he seen them as equal gods, the reader never gave Light the benefit of the doubt of thinking he thought she was an equal.
-At some level, the reader is lowkey into him being a killer tbh
-I think Light does love reader at some level even if it’s narassitic and self rewarding. Like when reader isn’t looking or is asleep, he watches over her like 🥺 because she never betrayed him or let it slip that he was Kira to anyone important. Light seems to love the loyalty and the “devotion” the reader gives without trying
saw these when you initially submitted and OMG had to step away from the puter and do a lap.
will get to continuing the sequel once i graduate (my last degree ever) and have the time to for sure, but i think there's a lot to speculate on the reader/light dynamic and whether they actually love each other and their own kind of perspective and definition of love, and i tried to encapture its complexity (best i could when i was 17-18 years old haha)
now that im so old and wise hopefully when i resume working on the sequel (which isn't planned to be as long as the OG) i can use my developed cerebral cortex to better show it.
I think OFC she's lowkey into it - bc i think in light of the death he's caused there's just no logical way fear on its own keeps her with the killer of her brother and father. at that point, you lose so much, just fucking report him?? but no.
another tough thing to juggle is light's relationships with others and how to capture someone in a relationship w/ someone when in the original IP he simply uses love and sex as another tool. But at the same time i think a huge draw to his char, reader and his relationship, and their whole dynamic is the ambiguity. unlike in the show, we can't get a read into his head (and lord knows reader is unreliable as they come) so we just have to be like . . . "light what was that . . . "
Thanks for sending this in, taking time to write it all out, and reading the work i put into this world. i hope one day to be back to writing, as it sparks a joy in me that hasn't been filled since college.
im going to put it back up once i do some editing/more writing of it :) rn wasnt proud of it and i just dont like to leave things up im not proud of.
hehe thanks for understanding!!!!
Maybe this is too random and you might not answer this but i’m going to ask anyway! lol. But how was it like minoring in Chinese? I remember you mention minoring in it and I want to minor in Japanese but I’m not sure if it’s worth it/if it’ll be too stressful to balance it with my major.
so amazing what ppl remember about me!!
now that i’ve graduated and so wise i’d say that if you want to be fluent in the language you’re going to have to go abroad or somehow be immersed in the language bc that’s the only way you’re going to really progress. so if fluent is your goal immediately plan a goal semester to go abroad (which is you’re in the US can be cheaper than a semester)
but in regards to workload depends on your major and how much time you’re going to dedicate to it. doing it with engineering was tough, but doable if i really tried (i didn’t.) so if you want to do both, do it. You can always just take a minor in it or just get some humanities credits or drop or take pass/fail.
