Gladly! Sorry it took so long, I was quite busy with family issues and exam studying, but hopefully you didn’t need your cosplay plans ready in just a few days, haha. I’m really sorry, but I disregarded the parts of this ask that referred to any of the three live action adaptions because manga/anime is already a tremendous task and I am far less well-versed in any other versions of canon.

But with manga and anime, I gave it my best for you.

The concept art shots are all from Death Note Volume 14, the animation guidebook. I just cleaned up the scans a little, but I did not scan it.

Another thing of note is that the color manga’s coloring choices were likely not decided by Obata as they sometimes openly contradict his art - it is an official version of canon, but not the be-all-end-all in canon color choices. I tried to contrast the changes that were made to Misa’s outfits between the adaptions so you can decide on which you’d rather cosplay. (I am missing some detail reference shots though, so if you decide to cosplay a version I’d recommend reviewing the scenes for yourself to catch everything!) Now…

Here’s a list of Misa’s outfits in manga and anime with reference images as far as available!

Thank you Leonardo DaBitchy for illustrating our Pre-colonial Deities and honoring Filipino Lore & Mythology. You’re a blessing. <3

@vivithefolle Sidapa and Libulan are the gods I’m talking about.

I can’t believe there is a goddess whose name means “hug of death”, that’s freaking awesome

Sidapa, the death god, and Bulan, a moon boy

the aircraft emergency frequency (known as GUARD in the usa) is SUPPOSED to be used for emergencies. the frequency is 121.5 mhz. it is for all international air distress and emergencies and stuff (theres a different one for military)

however. for some goddamn reason. for at least the past ten years (maybe more) there has been meowing. random pilots going “meowww!” on the emergency frequency. this is often followed by at least 8 different people yelling “GUARRRRD” “YOUR ON GUARD” “STOP FUCKING MEOWING” and at least 3 others meowing also.

i have a radio and often tune into this frequency if i want to hear local airplane pilots/control tower operators act like absolute fools.

here’s some operators using GUARD to try to contact a flight that went missing (they found them) and just the absolute nonsense, the one guy spamming caribbean music, the voice changer, and the meowing and guard police are so fucking funny. GUARD is always doing shit like this. its great. (note that he isnt on the frequency until 1:30, so the other shit is just normal coworker conversations. “who the fuck eats honeydew” is just two coworkers not abusing resources).

• someone barking, which was nice variety and very much appreciated to see more canine representation in my field

• airline captains making full cabin announcements, not realizing they were transmitting, followed by several other pilots asking questions as if they were in the cabin

• airline captain making about half a cabin announcement before stopping cold, pausing for about 3 seconds, and mumbling "...I am so fucking sorry," then presumably making the announcement again to his actual cabin

• two pilots for different airlines speaking Italian to each other (one of these was actually my captain, the other guy was a friend from his last job)
