we dig our own graves

you know what an underrated hysterical part of light and kiyomi’s relationship is that when they first meet again in second arc he says, “i know i said differently before, but you were right, the world is so much better now with kira in it” implying that he used to disagree, i.e. back in college kiyomi was making impassioned arguments to him about how awesome kira was and light (kira) just had to be like . well i dont think so . because murder . is bad

in this way naomi and kiyomi are the same (extremely bereft of any support network and therefore exploited easily). they even serve tea the same way.

(two weeks late) and they’re wearing the same shirt

[ID: Art of Misa cradling Kiyomi's face in one hand as she draws a line of lipstick over Kiyomi's mouth. The line skews off onto Kiyomi's cheek. Misa lifts her eyebrows in amusement as she says, "Woops, my hand slipped—" A vein pops on Kiyomi's temple as she grits out, "Amane."]

[ID: Death Note art of Kiyomi wearing a gold dress and standing in a dark liquid river of something, looking up to one side as she holds a lighter. Rising behind her are vast abstract circles that form the shape of an eclipse. Kiyomi’s golden dress sparkles and dissolves where it touches the river’s surface.]

[ID: Death Note anime screenshots of Light and Kiyomi talking in a hotel room with edited dialogue. Light says seriously, “On a scale of 1 to 10, you’re a 9. I’m the 1 you need.” Kiyomi responds, “No wtf I’m a 10”]

[ID: Death Note panel of Kiyomi looking to the side as she speaks (taken from the scene in the caption)]

[ID: Two different Death Note manga panels of Light and Kiyomi wearing the same shocked expression, Light reacting to something over a headset and Kiyomi reacting to something she is reading off paper. The first row has Light in cool colors and Kiyomi in warm colors while the second row is reversed.]

It's a unique type of frustration when you agree that a character is deeply flawed but other people keep missing what's actually wrong with them and assigning them new flaws that they don't even have it's like free my man he did none of that. He did a bunch of other shit tho.
