ABOUT ME

she/her // canadian 🇨🇦 // art school grad // 90s millennial // lesbian 🏳️‍🌈

[tag guide] // [aesthetic sideblog]

My url "13eyond13" is a reference to the name "Beyond Birthday," who is my third favourite character in the Death Note series.

ABOUT THE CONTENT I POST

-This blog started as a Death Note analysis/ask blog, and it remained that from 2017-2023

-Around 2024 I decided to branch out more with my blogging and post my thoughts about everything I am currently reading and watching instead. I will still post Death Note content, and definitely don't mind still getting asks about Death Note! But please be aware that I'm now going to be posting about other stuff as well. Expect to find Death Note + Berserk + the Beatles + whatever media I'm currently into + a bunch of stupid memes here, basically

-I do try to tag my posts for other fandoms and their spoilers (eg. #berserk #berserk spoilers), but due to the origins of this blog my Death Note spoilers are untagged

-I occasionally might post 18+ content. I always tag these posts #nsfw #nsfwork (the new tag I use because the other one might censor your entire blog if you use it occasionally now), so that tag can be blocked, but my criteria for this might be different than your own. If you're not comfortable with this then please do not follow my blog

ABOUT MY DEATH NOTE POSTS

-I've been in the Death Note fandom off and on since 2007, and I've been blogging about it here since 2017

-The manga is by far my favourite version of the story and the one I default to when discussing it! I love to analyze the story as a whole as well as learn how to portray the cast of characters accurately. I am also a fan of the anime and the Another Note novel, but I'm not very familiar with the drama or the movies or the musical

-I appreciate the complex and morally grey aspects of the characters, so I often include them in my discussions and my jokes, but I'm never attempting to seriously condone any harmful actions or views. I approach this series as an ironic/dark-humoured work of fiction in which everyone goes to Mu in the end, and which was mostly just intended to be entertaining and to raise questions (x)

-My favourite characters in the series are L and Light, and my favourite ship is Lawlight. I tend to go hard on both characters and point out their flaws and negative traits a lot, but that doesn't mean I don't love them dearly. I also talk about their relationship in a shippy sense a lot as well, so if you're really not into that particular reading of things you might not want to follow me here!

ABOUT DIRECT MESSAGING/FOLLOWING

✅-I'm fine with direct messages if you are an adult (18+)

🚫-If you aren't an adult / if you do not have your 18+ status indicated on your blog please don't private message me, and please don't take it personally if I do not follow your blog

ABOUT ROLEPLAYING

🚫-Sorry, I've never done it before. I mostly stick to writing analysis and headcanon posts

ABOUT SENDING ASKS

I'm not comfortable answering asks including any of the following, and will probably ignore them:

🚫-Commonly triggering topics (such as sending me headcanon requests for the DN characters + pregnancy/abortion, eating disorders, all manner of abuse, bigotry, addiction, derogatory slurs, self-harm... I have received some variation of all of these asks before here in the past)

🚫-Asks about nsfw/explicit 18+ stuff

🚫-Requests for art

🚫-Asks based around diagnosing fictional characters with personality disorders, mental illnesses, or any other medical conditions

🚫-Asks that treat my inbox like a therapist's couch, a private diary, or a confessional booth

🚫-Requests for financial support, or for the sharing of posts requesting financial support

IT'S DEFINITELY OKAY TO SEND ASKS ABOUT

✅-Any media you want to talk about with me

✅-Headcanon & analysis requests

✅-Media recs for me, or requests for me to give you specific media recs (I'm into books, comics, video games and movies especially)

✅-Questions & observations about the Death Note fandom, or about fandom or Tumblr culture in general

✅-Funny jokes & memes

This is it, man. This is everything we’ve worked since sophomore year to get to. It doesn’t even feel real does it?

To: Leah

So you finally did it. I can’t believe it. I’m proud of you.

You’ve come a long way, Rich. From claiming your favorite color because of the pair of under bottoms your crush wore--turquoise was always an ugly fucking color, really--to carrying your band from the small stage to Austin, Texas at SXSW. I want you to know that it took a lot to get you where you are now. There were people, there were tears, there were laughs, there were upsets and disappointments, there were disagreements, there are memories. You didn’t wake up where you are now. You worked to get there. You worked your ass off and you live every moment of what you receive because of it Richard. I don’t care if you have every Grammy in your hands, I don’t care if you’ve got Jay-Z or Kanye West or Rihanna on speed dial--if you ever forget those people, if you ever forget where you came from you may as well slap your own self in the face. 

I hope you’re everything I always dreamed of. I hope you’re doing everything everything I said I would do while sitting in through a second freshman year. Don’t disappoint me. Don’t disappoint Dad. Don’t disappoint the people who are out there rooting for us. 

You might not be Jay-Z or Kanye but I bet one day someone will be saying that they aren’t Spike.

I know you’re upset. I know you’re trying to play off like you aren’t phased by any of us leaving but Kyle I know you. I promise you the moment they put that diploma in your hand and you walk off that stage next year, you’ll be right back with us. No one gets behind and if they do it’s only for a little while. School is so important. Afterward we can talk about that neon green touring bus and drawing monster teeth on it. Though I still think no one would see it coming if we made it sparkling silver like Kesha threw up on it.
