Shang Qinghua, Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe— all of them have roles to play in the story. A place to belong to, consistent with their abilities and expectations. Even Yue Qingyuan, otherwise LQG's foil, has his place in watching over a Shen Jiu who is already gone. This is consistent with his abilities and characterization; YQY has always been the type of character who struggles to act when it truly matters, who stands back and lets time flow before him until every opportunity passes him by.

But Liu Qingge? His original role is to be *dead*. Him being alive, and therefore him acting, undermines and overturns any and all aspects of his original role.

And so, despite how hard he tries, the narrative does not open up a place for him. The indomitable force of the Plot marches on— no matter how hard he tries to save SQQ, he cannot go up against either protagonist and expect to win. In a way, he is forced to live as if dead-- all the strength and stubbornness of his character cannot move the mountain known as destiny.

Some people don’t know this.

L doesn’t ask Light if he’s Kira — it’s pointless, they both know the answer and saying it won’t change anything now.

When L asks Light if he was ever honest, even once in his life, Light simply shrugs.

Then L gets closer to Light (like in this picture) and says what he said in the staircase scene, “It’ll be lonely, won’t it? You and I will be parting ways soon.”. Light nods.

Thanks to the quarantine, I now have an absurd amount of time to get around to watching shows that I always meant to watch. And in my case, that means watching the iconic title Death Note more than 10 years late in under 4 days. 

Here you find a compilation of the dumb joke stuff I’ve produced in the past week. These boys think too much.
