Death Note AU where Sidoh gets a clue earlier and starts looking for his stolen notebook around the time Light and L have their virtual dick-measuring contest. He flaps down to confront Ryuk and Light, who just laugh him out of his house since Sidoh is as scary as a weird kitten. He manages to beg off a single page so he won’t die, and watches Light sneakily. He figures out who L is and goes to watch that human instead, thinking maybe he can get back at those two for laughing at him. So when L finally puts together the clues, ‘L did you know shinigami love apples?,’ Sidoh touches L with his single sad page of Death Note and says, “They don’t all love apples but that Ryuk sure does.” After L picks himself up off the floor and changes his pants, he has some questions.
One of the most interesting ways that Christocentrism rears it’s ugly head is when a Jewish person does something because of our religion and here come all the ex-xtian atheists to say “GOD DOESNT CARE IF YOU EAT PORK” or “YOURE NOT GONNA DIE IF YOU WORK ON SATURDAY”.
Like yeah, no shit. As a Jew I don’t fear god. I don’t think he is gonna impose consequences on me if I break his rules. That’s not how the relationship works.
If I do something because Jewish tradition says to, it’s because I’m honoring my community and keeping my culture alive. God doesn’t really enter the equation. He can have given us a rule, but if you know any Jews you know we have nine to eleven ways of following any rule and it depends on what suits us in the situation.
So if you slip a Jewish person trief to “show them” that nothing bad will happen to them, you are an asshole of the highest order and have fundamentally misunderstood the rule they’re seeking to follow.
Judaism does not include fear of God. It is a partnership with history and community and culture. And god can come, too, if he promises to be cool about it.
"can you write?" I can certainly put words next to each other
Obsessively studying your recently-resurrected arch-nemesis isn't, like, any kind of mental health red flag, is it? Like that's probably fine right?
Dib never really cared much about having to wear glasses. But sometimes he really hated how terrible his vision was.

FACTS
Sidoh, a shinigami, comes to the human realm to get his notebook back
The notebook is in the hands of the mafia, led by Mello, so Sidoh establishes contact with them
After an undetermined amount of time (but that couldn't be longer than some minutes) Sidoh is shown eating chocolate
PREMISE
Mello would not have given Sidoh the chocolate he was eating, seeing as if anyone touched it Mello would probably kill them in an unhinged laughing rampage of violence
We also know he didn't do that because Mello is still showing the same bar of chocolate as before
The rest of the mafia wouldn't be insane enough to give one of Mello's chocolate bars to a shinigami without consent, and they have no reason to have any chocolate bars themselves
CONCLUSION
Mello himself took the time to open his Chocolate Vault™ and get one of his spare bars to give to Sidoh
He just needed him to know what chocolate tasted like ASAP i guess
That is all
shikako: I am not out of control! I’m a law abiding citizen! sasuke: Really? Name one law shikako: Don’t kill people? sasuke: That’s on me. I set the bar too low.
