saw this post today was was immediately like…yea this is about One Man and One Man Alone.
the second part of the death note text posts I just posted.
i don't think talk therapy would fix light yagami but i do think he would enjoy it. i am however one billion thousand percent certain that horse therapy would fix all his problems forever. if you put a horse in his care he would immediately transform into the calmest chillest person alive and he could be trusted with stationary of all sorts. he needs to be responsible for a delicate and flighty creature which could also kill him if it so chose. he needs to feed a gigantic animal a molasses cookie from his palm. you understand.
Something something L explicitly describing himself as a monster vs. Light wishing desperately for wings and divorcing himself from his own humanity by describing society as if he is not one of the humans living in it

death note is a metaphor for autism because like half the series is about scenarios such as: i will die if i can't remember the most normal human response to 'do you want to play tennis,' a conversational feat that is entirely beyond me.
this is just what a normal conversation with autism feels like
I love how so many crime/detective shows have the authorities be like "yeahh we're not nearly competent enough to catch this guy, let's just outsource this case to the most autistic person we know"

death note is a thriller first and foremost but in some ways i do view it as a horror story.
the horror of death note is the idea of never having someone truly understand you. the people in your life, your friends and family, they can look you over from head to toe, but they can not see you. they will listen to everything you say when you speak, but you are still not heard. it's about being so dirtied by the inescapable loneliness not being understood brings you, that you try to clean yourself with the blood and viscera shed by your ballpoint pen. you find solace in death and decay. "home" has become your local cemetery.
but in the same vein: the horror of death note is having someone understand you so carnally that for the first time in your life you are frozen in fear. there is no greater terror than laying open on the operating table and having the muscles of your chest peeled apart, skin pulled back, hard hands exposing the soft flutter of your exposed lungs. there is no greater fear than when the man above you snaps each rung of your ribs with delight, because he is searching for something, something deep inside you that is also inside him. you have waited all of your life to be seen and to be heard, and now you have been, and it's terrifying. what do you do about this? what can you do about this?
in a way the horror of death note is -- only one of you will survive this. the horror of death note is -- you can never be truly alive once you have killed your humanity. the horror of death note is -- the one man who finally understood you was the only thing keeping you human in the first place. what do you do after you've killed him?
i think L should've tried harder to piss light off. provoking light into slipping up would not only be hilarious i also think it would be extremely easy and effective. not saying you could get light to actually confess this way, but he would definitely make more dumb mistakes if, for example, L kept interrupting their homoerotic brain chess matches to insist that kira is actually matsuda because the butts match
