I just realized that Lancer is pretty young

Like I just noticed that baby boi isn't even old enough to own a motorcycle (I knew he was a minor but not a full blown FETUS) meaning that he is younger then 14 or 16...

please, I dont want to see anything ILLEGAL with this child

Um actually scratch that. none of the children...just to alleviate any possible confusion

@cardboardsans ACTUALLY, the real trauma was my mom not laughing at my cancer joke after leaving the hospital and my doctor telling me I that I have cancer

It was a pretty good joke...

how canon is it that L dislikes being touched? I've seen it mentioned a few times and I think it might be in the how to read but the how to read also has a few contradictions to canon. all I can remember without rereading the whole manga is that he definitely touched light during the yotsuba arc... does he actually dislike people aside from light touching him or is it a fanon thing?

Hello!

L's true feelings are usually left pretty ambiguous and up for interpretation for most things, and much of the time all the audience can do is guess about it based on his behaviour and his body language. He doesn't make physical contact with anyone in the manga too often, so it's pretty easy to remember the rare moments when he does. I personally don't really see him as completely touch averse, though he probably also isn't that used to physical contact with others. He might just be acting more reserved due to the specific circumstances of the Kira investigation, too. We must remember L is mostly interacting with everyone in canon either as their colleague/boss or because they are his suspect, so it is hard to know if he would behave differently in different circumstances. But he doesn't seem to balk at casual things like shaking hands with Light after the tennis match, for example:

Nor about slyly snagging Misa's cell phone from her back pocket (and maybe goosing her on purpose at the same time):

The other main instances I remember of L being touched are:

-When Aizawa grabs his shoulder during Misa's first broadcast. L appears to be distressed and to shy away from it/fold in on himself more, but this is possibly just due to the stressful nature of the scene or because Aizawa was being fairly aggressive about it:

-When Misa kisses him on the cheek and grabs his hand to dance. He appears to get a bit flustered, but he is also still making ironic jokes about their "friendships" (I think he is being sarcastic for the vast majority of this scene), so make of that what you will:

-When Light fist-fights with him, and when Light grabs him by the shoulders to make important points to him:

L is never the one to physically start the violent altercations with Light, but he isn't shy about fighting back with all his might either. And I think he might even purposely antagonize Light into these fights sometimes with his insulting words as well, but it's not something that we know for sure.

-There is also a moment in the manga where L grabs Matsuda's hand to stop him from telling Light the truth when he is in confinement:

-And a moment where L leans on Light's shoulder in a genuinely friendly way when they're making a breakthrough in the case:

I think the anime also added a few quirks to L regarding his physical contact with others. The anime put in a scene of him shyly tugging on Light's shirt sleeve to get his attention, and a scene of him looking lustfully at Misa's TV commerical / taking his frustration out on a banana peel, and of course the scene where he gives Light a foot massage on the stairs. The Relight anime OVA also showed L wiping his hand clean after shaking hands with Light, which I thought was a bit too campy/unsubtle for him, more like something Beyond Birthday would do 😆

Overall I think it's easy to interpret him either way about this stuff, but in the manga I don't find he comes off particularly phobic about it. He is probably a bit shocked and suspicious about affectionate gestures from his suspects, and he is defensive when being touched aggressively, and civil when being touched civilly. None of his reactions are unusual considering the context of the interactions, and he doesn't appear to think twice about the little ones he instigates like handshakes or shoulder pats, either.

Q&A with Serizawa Katsuya (from the fanbook!!!)

credits: Muz🧂🌂 on Twitter

Q1. What are your grades at night school? What's your best subject?

A. I'm best at language and history. My grades aren't bad, but I'm not trying to compete with anyone.

Q2. How did you end up at Spirits and Such?

A "If you have nowhere to go, how about you work here?' Seems like other people got that offer too, but I guess I'm the only one who took it.

Q3. What do you usually talk about with Reigen?

A. Things we liked eating at the konbini recently and so on. He often asks me about what's going on at school, or about games and anime that are good for passing time.

Q4. Do you plan to keep working at the consulting office? A. It's rare for me to get hired, so I'll keep working there as long as my employment period lasts. I don't really know what I'm capable of doing, so it's enough that I have a job I can do.

Q5. Do you stay awake for New Year's or do you sleep when the time comes?

A. Awake.

Q6. Who did you talk to most when you were in Claw?

A. The President and Shou, I guess. They have very different personalities, but they treat everyone equally. I'm the kind of person other people usually look down on, so I can tell.

Q7. What's your alcohol tolerance? Do you go out when you're free from work?

A. I don't drink. Reigen doesn't either. We went out for drinks once, and we basically licked the surface of our beers before we started going madly at the edamame. Actually, Reigen fell asleep in the store just like that.

Q8. Serizawa-san, you're reliable and trusted by your boss. Give some advice to the rest of us working adults!

A. When you're just starting out, it's enough just to be able to say hello, thank you, and apologize! But doing these correctly is actually rather difficult.

Q9. What did you do with your first paycheck?

A. Reigen-san lent me money for my suit, so I used it to pay him back.

Q10. Is there anything you wish Reigen-san would stop doing?

A. At first, I thought he kept farting loudly and with no hesitation. Even if he's my boss, I'd hope that he can at least control the volume. It seems like that was actually the sound of the chair being in poor condition and rubbing against the floor, though, so hope he can fix the chair. Also, wish he'd stop joking around when there's dangerous evil spirits in front of him. Kageyama-kun says those aren't jokes, but if that's the case, there's really some situations I don't understand.

Q11. What's the most useless information you learned from Reigen?

A. He said there was a secret method to eating pizza without burning your mouth and then immediately burned his mouth. Also, there's supposed to be some trick to throwing salt around...? My school exams are coming soon and I'd like to remove those memories from my memory, even though I respect him very much.

If I had this the damage I would cause worldwide would be D e v a s t a t i n g

THERE WAS THIS ONE COSTUME AT THE STORE I FUCKING WANTED BUT IT WAS ONLY IN CHILDREN SIZES D:
