I have Visions for Misa Amane Death Note and every so often I interact with somebody who is not aware of my delusions who's like "...but...isn't she like a total pushover and obsessed with Light?" WRONG. Cannon was MEAN she's just a girl that deserved to discover her identity separate from men and experiment with her sexuality and maybe murder somebody with her bare hands as a treat
pet peeve is when a fellow hater conducts their haterism such that they leave the hater community vulnerable to attack. “i think characterizing Character A in x way is boring and annoying” = beautiful, flawless, unimpeachable haterism. no one can tell u that u aren’t allowed to find a certain characterization boring. “it is morally/objectively wrong to characterize Character A in x way” = sloppy, reactionary, overcommitting. you have left our eastern flank open to attack girl what the hell….now my dedicated hater troops are taking fire from YOUR enemies fuckkkkk
of course light yagami is the sum of the masks he wears and we all are etc etc but i love that to catch a glimpse to what lies behind them you have to read the manga with, like... a metaphorical pheripeal vision. you can't trust the way he behaves in front of other people. you can't trust what he says as kira. you can't trust what he says in the thought bubbles. yotsuba!light is somewhat genuine, but as that point he is in such a situation of costant pressure and so traumatized that i don't know how much of what he does or thinks helps us to understand how he felt when he decided to become kira. as a reader you just have to hope that at some point something doesn't add up. he catching himself after having complimented misa's drawing skills. he clutching the death note to his chest and sweating when thinking about how becoming kira could lead to him having to kill his own family and chapters later saying that he has never considered finding the death note a misfortune. he having to criticize kira in front of other people - saying to L that kira is a child; to matsuda that his justice will be superior only if he wins. is he lying, is the mask slipping; do we have to trust what he says to others, what he says to himself, what he thinks or how he behaves? and is such a pleasure to read a protagonist that only in the few scenes in which he contradicts himself gives you the margin to try to understand his inner world better
Thanks to a pair of a bionic gloves, this 80-year-old classical pianist can finally play the piano again. The maestro, João Carlos Martins, had lost dexterity in his hands due to aging and health complications. His face at being able to play piano again says it all. 🎶
