Welcome to my Dark Twisted Ankle

hi everyone!!

to make a long story short, this month i’m facing some financial difficulties as a result of only receiving about half of my usual income, so i’ve decided to offer a discount on commissions for the time being!

i’m currently offering $10 off busts and $15 off my usual half-body prices, and removing the charge for (simple) backgrounds! i will also be opening the floor to mild/suggestive NSFW. please mention this beforehand!

extra characters are still +50%, but i’m willing to negotiate based on character details.

you can also find me on facebook and twitter for other samples; i have stuff scattered everywhere.

Light is not a weird loner kid. He’s a top of his class, “that kid’s going places” type. People admire him. He stays beneath suspicion until L enters the fray by seeming so perfectly straitlaced and normal that no one thinks he could ever be a serial killer. The idea of Light having a locker sign saying “normal people scare me” is ridiculous, Light would probably mock the kind of person who’d put that in their locker. Light is handsome, confident, and while his ego is horrendous and his god complex ends up going to sociopath levels eventually, he has great charisma. He’s great at talking people into things and getting them to trust him.

Light is not an outcast. He is not a punk or a rebel in any way.

If you were committed to doing “Death Note but in the USA” Light would be an all-American boy, the local sheriff’s son who plays sports and gets good grades and  just seems oh-so wholesome. That was why back when I was in high school and people floated Zak Effron as the casting for an American Death Note I thought it was a great idea since Light would probably be a Troy Bolton type in the USA, albeit with a bit more focus on his academics than sports.

Light is not an outcast. He is the sort of boy where if he was American and was accused of a crime you’d have two thirds of the town online going “that good boy would never do such a thing.”

In the movies, the killer is always the weirdo creep. In reality, serial killers are statistically most likely to be a White Male with a strong sense of entitlement and usually blend into society. 

Ted Bundy is probably the most famous example of this, being this wholesome-seeming man that was charming and did volunteer work. Who also brutally murdered women. He charmed women during his trial, and had many fans throughout his time in prison.

Dennis Rader was a church-going family man that was a pillar of his community. He was a Cub Scout leader, and a member of his church’s council. He was also a sadistic monster that tied up, tortured, and murdered people in his community leading to his moniker of BTK. He admitted that he went dormant for so many years because raising his children didn’t leave him enough time for stalking and killing people.
