After Letting It Sink, I Finally Decided To Write My Little, Not-so-professional Review About The Sherlock

Rb if you were/are a gifted kid I wanna see how many of us ended up here

does anyone actually ever refer to matt with a pronoun in canon. this is a sincere question

kisses!!!!!

For the 'send me a character' ask game:

Is asking about Mikami too obvious? Haha

@catboymettaton asked the same thing,,, you guys know me so well. glad to know that mikami is the first character that pops into the minds of you all when i am concerned

favorite thing about them

God. can i say everything. love love love everything about him: his genuine obsession with justice, something that he has that light doesn't !!!; how from a very young age, he has had this frigid mindset of good and evil like imagine being eight years old and thinking that; the fact that he's just a very huge fan of winston churchill. i love how pedantic and routinely he is, that is one of the main reasons why light failed in the end. he is so predictable that it's a fault, that he clings to his routine so much. he is NOT neurotypical, i love him so much. also love how his priority is his own ideals which he is sooooo fixed on, i'll talk about it a little later in the post.

ALSO i remembered this as i was writing this post but i really like the fact that he kind of absentmindedly thinks that he's the reason for all of this. very very very unexplored aspect of his character.

least favorite thing about them

the fact that he's a very huge fan of winston churchill :((( i am bengali and he is literally the reason why the bengal famine got so bad. shit person in general, hate that guy so much. the whole "kill all lazy people" isn't a good look for mikami either.

favorite line

the obligatory "YOU"RE NOT GOD, YOU'RE TRASH" but in like the opposite note, i really like the line "there is no reason for me to question. God is absolute. my job is to do as God wishes". one thing i find so unfortunate about death note is that none of the lines in animanga aren't very cool. like it's not deep and poetic :( closest thing to a deep line is probably just the "i wish we could have met some other way // this is the only way we could have met" exchange in jdrama.

brOTP

takada and mikami,,, my most beloved. they can conquer the world, i know this. they are best friends to me. mikami seriously respects her a lot and praises her. i just like to imagine them chatting together before they started working with light. just sitting together, talking over politics, current events, kira, their opinions. they both really really need it. on the other hand, put mikami and misa is a room together PLEASE. can't believe they have never had a canon interaction, this NEEDS to happen. one of these days,,, i will write a misa&mikami fic,,, it would be my best project yet i think considering they are the two dn characters i think i understand the most.

OTP

MIKALAWLIGHT 🗣🗣🗣 OTP OF ALL TIME 🗣🗣🗣think about those three every single day,,, my favorite death note ship,,, well technically it's an OT3 i believe but still. i have two modes of mikalawlight i constantly think about, one is in my special little 1stkira!mikami au where L's primary theory is that light is kira and mikami is his accomplice when it's actually the other way around, misa is still the 2nd kira and it's mikamisa in the same way death note is yagamane except mikami doesn't try to manipulate misa like light does. my second mode of mikalawlight is jdrama mikalawlight because it's the only version of death note where mikami actually co-exists with L (i think it's the only version ? don't know about live action movie or german audio drama). there's of course, alternate no death note universe mikalawlight that i think about. ALSO. everyone go read this fic, most perfect mikalawlight ever even though it's tragically unfinished.

nOTP

actually,,, don't think i have a notp for mikami,,, i just really like it when he is there. mikalawlight, mikalight, lawmika, mikamisa, kiyokami, mikavanni, mikamatsu, mikanear, all very very good to me. just have him there and i am the happiest man alive.

random headcanon

while i really don't like christian mikami and how prevalent it is all the time in dn fandom, i do think he believes in something divine, a kind of higher power. it's not a christian god, it's something very specific to him. micah has a fic where they talk a little about him believing in a higher power like that and. nailed it, it's absolutely my thoughts on mikami. a vaguely muslim mikami is something i find really really really funny and something i think about all the time, because his take on the whole killing people thing really reminds me of the islamic concept of jihad. but i don't take that seriously because i am worried that it would be blasphemous. siller mikami headcanons, he can play the piano and violin. he is bisexual with a lean towards men and it's just something he's fine with it, doesn't think much of it. he cuts his own hair.

unpopular opinion

i will be super honest with you,,, back in like 2009-2016ish time frame, i sincerely believe that teru mikami was one of the, if not most, mischaracterized character in death note. it's fine now, there isn't anything outrageous about mikami that's going around now, but have you seen lawlight fics from that specific time. shudders. so unpopular opinion, i have got a lot of. hmph, but i think one of my favorite opinions that i have is that mikami is definitely not the picture of "blind devotion" like he is often made out to be. mikami is actually very independent and correct me if i am wrong, one of the first actions that he does as x-kira is literally oppose light, when he kills demegawa even though light didn't tell him to. i think HE thinks that he is really good at following orders and will do everything that kami tells him to and i also think that light thinks in the same way, that mikami is #1 perfect servant, but mikami's priority first and foremost is his own ideals, as i alluded to before. it's a part of his facade i think, all of his life

that's why he denounced light so easily in the warehouse scene.

so what this all boils down to is that mikami is NOT obsequious and a sycophant. if i did assign the concept of "blind devotion" to a character, it would probably be misa.

song i associate with them

i need to make a playlist about him, i swear to God. funnily enough, i'll put where is the justice from the death note musical in there because that's more of a mikami song than a light song. but aside from that, exit music (for a film) and not really a song, but fitter happier, which are both by radiohead. one of these days, i need to make a post connecting every lyric of exit music to mikami, it's such a him song.

favorite picture of them

can't pick one favorite tragically,,, there is a LOT. here's a mini collection.

^ gymbro mikami will forever be famous to me

^ one of the photos of him that i carry around in my phone case (if anyone wants to see the rest, let me knowww)

RATING LIGHT YAGAMI'S OUTFITS pt. 3

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

working boy outfit. really basic. he pratically blends into the room and L. not much impression other than that tbh. this is like the popular boy outfit on top but like...less cool version. sorry. 4.5/10

gud boy outfit. colored manga, hey, what's up with that purple? i mean i always see it as grey/black instead of purple ngl but yeah. not a huge fan. 3.8/10

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

shit i felt and did before i got myself a label:

- being weirdly annoyed by my boobs and looking for ways to make them invisible since they barely started to grow. i learned what binder was at the old age of nine. i didn't have enough money of course and i didn't know where i could buy it. so i used simple bandages before they started to annoy me.

- trying to justify the feeling of queerness by telling myself that my parents just raised me that way. they literally did not. i have a very traditional family.

- not taking photos of myself before i started presenting myself in a gender neutral way. if i had choice i would hide on group photos. i rarely took selfies. the only ones I have from that period are of me in a cosplay.

- using male pronouns and masculine grammatical gender on the internet 'for fun'. or phrasing my sentences in a way which would not require using gendered words at all.

- awkwardly laughing when i passed as a boy in front of people who knew me as a girl. not correcting people when i was alone. i loved being ambiguous about my gender when I could.

- being a feminist and fully supporting the use of gendered words for occupations... while not using them to describe myself.

- feeling like i am totally one hundred percent cis because 'i do not feel like i am a man, that' s not me'. gender binary is a bitch.

it took some self-reflection to realize what the 'symptoms' pointed at. yet i did not believe myself at first. i guess it really was fear that kept me from living through my younger years comfortably.

and my government.

I wish we could have met in some other way.

RATING LIGHT YAGAMI'S OUTFITS

in the colored manga. because i'm fucking obsessed like that.

the light yagami™ outfit. ah yes, the outfit he wore only in the beginning but becomes the most well known outfit. kinda boring and a bit overrated tbh, it's a school uniform after all. 5/10

the birth of kira outfit. sometimes i call this the hurricane outfit. iconic, simple, practical. something you'd wear to courses. 7.4/10

kira is tired outfit. who allowed him to be as cute as he is in this outfit? seriously, the scenes with him in this outfit are adorable. i love it, i love him. 8.6/10

kill the shinigami with sass outfit. slutty, sassy, simple, and easy. though i'm not sure about the cream on khaki combo. he looks like a vanilla ice cream. but that's alright. 5.6/10

spaceland playboy outfit. cute little murder experiment outfit. plus the slutty little gloves. this baby blue ribbed sweater is one of my favorite piece of clothing of his. idk it's just nice. 8.7/10

sayonara raye penber outfit. we need to talk more about this outfit. what do you mean light yagami owned at least a hoodie and a beanie but only wear it once? we're so robbed. his peak evil little meow meow outfit. 10/10

dad wouldn't be home for ny because of me outfit. tbh don't have much opinion, pretty basic. this scene hurts me though. 4/10

the massacre of misora outfit. such simple outfit for one of the most iconic and intense scene in death note. 7/10

quick pretend you're straight outfit. just his uniform without the jacket and tie tbh. he reads softcore porn in this. 5/10

entrance exam outfit. i love the sweater!! i love his ribbed sweaters in general and the black collar is a nice touch. it fits really nicely on him with that shirt underneath. looking real nice to meet L for the first time yay. 8/10

this will be a series, hopefully i can cover all of them lol 😭
