unfortunately a matsuda fan

seeing a black and white cow is always so damn awesome it’s like Hey i know that guy.from my kindergarten abcs

its so haunting to me that despite all the awful deaths and wasted lives in death note, the most tragic character is the one that gets to live. Near. He outlives everyone and keeps getting sadder and more broken because the person he is built around being never got to the point he gets to. L died at 25. 27 year old Near has nobody to base himself of off anymore. He collapses inwards under his own weight. And he gets to live.

[ID: Art of Light Yagami and L Lawliet from Death Note, drawn in muted shades of blue. They are standing in front of an aquarium window. There are multiple small fish facing towards Light's back, and a large fish behind L that looks like it's piercing perfectly through his chest. Light is holding the Death Note in one hand and catches L's wrist with the other as L reaches for the Note. L stares at him, eyes wide, as Light looks down at him quietly. End ID]
