from the colored manga. bc you might need it in this hell of new year (part 1, part 2)
popular boy thinks about murder all day outfit. i like this one!! gosh, if only i can pull this outfit as good as he did. but let's be real here no one can ate this basic and boring outfit up like light yagami. he's just iconic like that. 9.5/10
lightplottin.jpg outfit. this outfit looks like L's lol. i love when light wears white sweatshirts bc i'd be like "hehe L". anyway, this man really love layers huh. if only he lived long enough to enjoy today's fashion. makes me feel like he's that type of person who'd tell you to wear a shirt underneath your sweater. 7.5/10
bury your weapon outfit. man. light yagami in tracksuits are just the best shit ever. black, too. not many paople can rock tracksuits as good as him. this one? hell yes. also i noticed in another panel that he's wearing an air force 1 instead of his regular shoes. he left no crumbs. 9.8/10
kira? in me? it's more likely than you think outfit. sorry about the title, i can't help it. he should wear this outfit for his oscar acceptance. it's not much going on other than drama and lies. 5.7/10
confinement outfit. it's a look. for being imprisoned, it is. and he's light yagami, too. so. 6.8/10
mock execution outfit. it's not like he can style it the way he like to wear clothes. he just got out of prison afterall. it looks like it's not his shirt lol. 1.6/10
punch your bestie outfit. ok but this look? this zipped shirt? the little stripes? it's good. though he had never worn something like this before. it makes me wonder if it's that kind of clothes in your closet that you don't like/don't fit your style but them your parent (in this case soichiro) pack it for you so you have to wear iy. does that make sense??? 8.2/10

smart boy outfit. ngl i forget what he was doing during in this outfit, but it's pretty crucial. so let me name it that okay. i can almost feel the texture of this sweater and i don't like it! it feels kinda uncomfy. at least for me. not much comment other than that. 3/10
I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.
Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.
Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.
Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.
I do want to elaborate why I think this ship works so well (Mycroft Holmes / L Lawliet).
First of all, we know that they respect people of the same level of intelligence. Dare I say they are on each other's level which will bring them closer to each other.
They're both very closed off about their feelings, but we can see that Mycroft does open up to people he trusts (in canon, that person is Albert).
Now, in AU where they work together, be it MI-6 or just some detective agency, they are bound to spend a lot of time together working. And as they gradually grow closer due to their similarities, Mycroft just might to spill his secrets and tell about how he feels.
And at first that would be very overwhelming for L. Sharing problems? Talking about feelings? That's unheard of. But then it would create a sort of a safe space for him to be vulnerable as well. He would just listen for a while. Most of Mycroft's problems are similar to his, after all. He would appreciate having someone who can put his own feelings to words.
Then he would start talking, too. He would still be afraid, but Mycroft's patience and kindness would inspire him to confide in one person he can.
They both are very silent about their feelings, and having that one friend (I doubt they would call each other friends, though) might be their salvation.
That's all I have to say today.

op I love your thoughts op
consider this: this Original Sin parallel with Albert and Adam. let me dwell on this for a sec okay
because tell me this is not temptation and this evidence is not a forbidden fruit. because this has also played part in Adam's downfall.
Albert and William wish to test Adam. I'm putting Albert first because he seems unusually eager to do that.
again, it's not actually shown if Albert thinks of it in that way. we aren't told about his thoughts much throughout the manga. he doesn't remember about Adam in the Tower as well, which can mean that either he doesn't care or the manga itself doesn't care about Whiteley in terms of anything other than him being a plot device AHEM
what we do know is that he is very much an empathetic person, despite what he tries to appear as. and that he also like to overthink and take blame for things that are not actually his fault (like we've seen with William). so if he found out about Adam's meeting with Milverton and things discussed there, if he knew that the evidence was basically a trigger point for everything...
I may sound stupid don't mind me
THE ORIGINAL SIN AND TEMPTATION - MILVERTON VS. ALBERT
Moriarty the Patriot is full of religious themes and references and one of them is the tale of the Original Sin. It is told in the third chapter of the Bible, in Moses' first book and it's about how the first humans, Adam and Eve committed the first, the Original Sin due to the temptation of the Serpent who made them eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil what was forbidden for them by God.
Milverton and Albert both bring up this tale - now I will analyze how they look at it and view their actions regarding the Original Sin and how they tempted their victims (at least, in Milverton's case) - Whiteley and William - to sin.
In Albert's case, the Original Sin appears in chapter 63 during the Empty Hearts arc when Albert, after the Final Problem, was imprisoned in the Tower. He views William's fate as his Original Sin, that he was the one who made William the Lord of Crime. Albert loathed the world's current state when he was young and wanted to change it what led to a tragedy. He realized that he doesn't have the wisdom, neither the power to change the world - and that's when he met William and hears how he talks about his ideal world. He adopts William (and Louis) because he thinks that through his noble status, William can do the change Albert wishes for. He admits that he saw Christ in William.
Albert already decided to kill his family by that time but he was unable to do it on his own so he asks William if he would kill for his ideals. In the end, the murder of Albert's family is done by William and Albert's hands and Albert seems to blame himself for it even long, long years later. Not for the death of his family, but to make William a murderer. He talks about himself that he tempted William to sin because he himself was afraid to sin, that it was him who robbed William of his innocence and made him a murderer and later, the Lord of Crime. He even compares himself to the devil for this action.
When it comes to Milverton - whose Original Sin speech appears in chapter 37, during the White Knight arc - he talks about the Original Sin when he tempted Whiteley to sin. However, unlike in Albert's case who talks about his reasons why he tempted William to sin, Milverton's speech is not about Whiteley specifically, just generally about the reason behind temptation - for devils, those who are pure evil, nothing brings greater pleasure than tempting the good-hearted to sin and he himself is pure evil. And while Albert feels guilt and self-hatred for tempting William, Milverton feels pride and joy. For Albert, making William to sin was a mere tool for the ideal world, for Milverton, tempting the good-hearted is the goal and all he does is for that end. That's where the necessary evil vs. pure evil contrast between the Lord of Crime (which is also Albert) and Milverton comes to picture again.
But there are also similarities between the two temptations. While Milverton doesn't compare Whiteley to Christ, he is very much sees himself as a hero and that's what draws him to him, just like Albert became interested in William just because he saw Christ in him. Both William and Whiteley was fighting for an ideal world but while the temptation of William led to this ideal world, the temptation of Whiteley pushed away from it (even when Milverton himself was not against equality, he was after Whiteley because he was good.) Both temptations led to a family being murdered and the target of the temptation committing murder. Both Milverton and Albert talks how they dragged Whiteley and William down from their innocence to a murderer.
(Btw, Milverton here actually says OUR side, not MY side. The importance of that will go for a later analysis)
When it comes to Albert, he feels bigger guilt than his actual crime was (but Albert is after all, like that.) The child William talks about killing the evil nobles, so he already had these intentions in his heart, he already knew that the world can only be changed through evil methods, it was actually not Albert who planted these thoughts into him. William was also ready to kill Albert's family before Albert asked him to do so, so Albert didn't manipulate William into a crime (as he thinks) while Milverton truly blackmailed Whiteley (and Sturridge. And that police officer) into committing murder. Albert also took part in the crime, he was the one who killed his mother, while Milverton uses people to set up murder scenes and doesn't dirty his own hands. Albert thinks his Original Sin through years after the happenings, Milverton is during the actual happenings. Albert probably didn't think that it was like the Original Sin for him back then, Milverton is actively aim for a temptation. And talking about his crime as an Original Sin as HIS Original Sin, the first sin he committed is sensible to do in Albert's case, but for Milverton, what he did was not his first, HIS Original Sin.
So despite that they both talked discussing the same religious theme (and the same art is used) their approach regarding it - while having certain similarities on the surface - are fundamentally different. It was very interesting to analyze this through, I'm sad that we didn't see Milverton and Albert having a conversation about the Original Sin.
I love every fucking part of this.
from the colored manga. pls don't get bored ny this series yet lmao. (part 1, part 2, part 3)
best friends forever outfit. nice, simple, and sweet. he looks cute in this. not the biggest fan of the color matching but i know i'd put on something worse. also he still looks nice. so. 7.4/10
surrounded by idiots outfit. This is like the zip shirt from last part but blue. Honestly I'm not as much as a fan for this version. He once again blends in a bit too much into the surroundings. But it's not *too* bad i guess. 5/10
kira? in higuchi? it's more likely than you think outfit. i like this one! little white shirt underneath and grey-ish collar. very basic but you know what i love everytime light wears black top (especially sweatshirts like this) + khaki? The colors inverted would be white top + blue pants. I just like L and light opposing each other in any way so much. 8/10
according to the keikaku outfit. first of all, mf seems to like this shirt sm. the jacket is a bit ??? bc it looks more like something soichiro would own instead of him but at the same time it's very fitting? maybe it's a hand me down aha. though we need to talk about his pants. i can't believe light yagami wears white pants ๐. i have a personal deep distate on them i'm sorry lol. you're lucky i like his top. 7.5/10
the gang is back outfit. feel the major "i'm back bitches" vibe from this outfit alone. it looks similar like the ones he has pre confinement/yotsuba. perhaps that's the intention. not much opinion abt this one tbh. 4.7/10
sexy nemesis murder outfit. ah yes, a nice outfit for your nemesis to die homerotically in your arms. honestly, i prefer the anime's white shirt + khaki take on this outfit way more. it feels more fitting. this one kinda feel dull and idk, he looks like he came from divergent's abnegation fraction ๐ญ. 6.7/10
pro hacker outfit. i assume it's sweatshirt underneath bc we've seen him in that ribbed/striped pattern a lot before. not too bad i guess, simple and easy. Something about it just really pleasing to me but at the same time it's not? Weird. 7.8/10
new world outfit. aka the last outfit he wear for the first timeline of death note, before we jump to 5 years later. honestly, it's just pretty much dull. it's all grey and grey-ish. very much contrasting misa who has a bomb outfit here. but color aside, it looks fitting and nice on him. because what would be not? he's light. 6.7/10
okay this one doesn't have as many outfits as the previous parts but i want to divide it so next week we can cover the timeskip outfits, yay.
i feel like the most obnoxious person on the planet when i reblog someone's posts
