YAGAMANE + HOLIDAY:

Misa spends most holidays with the Yagami family once she's Light's official girlfriend, and it's often a bit awkward for her to try to properly fit in with the traditional suburban nuclear family vibes, which is super different than the way she grew up herself. She especially gets the feeling Sachiko secretly doesn't like her most times, and how could she ever forget mistakenly calling Soichiro a pervy stalker the first time she met him? Luckily Sayu seems to love her, though.

YAGAMANE + BATHING/SHOWERING:

You just know Misa has tried to have an elaborate romantic bath with Light multiple times once they've moved in together. I feel like most of the time she ends up just having to use that bath by herself, but maybe once or twice he's been like, "sure why not" after she does a bunch of Kira shit for him that goes well

YAGAMANE + KISSING:

I believe literally the only physical thing they ever did together until after the Yotsuba arc was that one awkward kiss when Light was trying to shut her up. They didn't have any other time alone together before that

YAGAMANE + SOFT SPOT:

I think Light realized he did have more of a soft spot for Misa and her extreme loyalty than he previously thought when he was trying to woo Kiyomi on the side because of how comparatively high-maintenance Kiyomi was about certain things (not that Kiyomi was necessarily wrong to demand more respectful treatment from him, but he was probably inwardly going "jeez Misa is way less difficult to deal with about all this stuff, what a pain in the ass")

excellent choices!

LAWLIGHT:

This ship is my: all-time fave

I consider this ship’s feelings:

Mutual | Mixed | Strange | Awkward | Platonic | Sibling-like | One-sided | They don’t really like each other

Light's basically this meme:

and L's this one:

I’d consider the relationship:

Healthy | Awkward | Abusive | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together

It's exactly like whatever the hell is going on here (& credit to @unironiclightstan for pointing it out [X])

Children:

No | Yes | They’d think about it

they'd have their hands way too full with each other already, I think

General Opinion:

It almost doesn't even feel like a hypothetical ship to me at this point, because it's just like they canonically both picked each other as their problematic faves, and I'm just sitting there being like "good for you kings I guess, proud of you both" lol

LIGHTxMISA:

This ship is my: favourite squirmy ship for remembering how annoying being a repressed gay in a long-term straight relationship felt lol

I consider this ship’s feelings:

Mutual | Mixed | Strange | Awkward | Platonic | Sibling-like | One-sided | They don’t really like each other |

I honestly feel like Light treats Misa like he's her patronizing older brother half the time, and Misa is just constantly off in La-La-Land inventing an imaginary romanticized version of their relationship in her own mind... not sexy at all, but still oddly fascinating to watch in action sometimes too

I’d consider the relationship:

Healthy | Awkward | Abusive | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together

Weirdly functional, but definitely not #relationship goals for either of them

Children:

No | Yes | They’d think about it

I could only really see Light having kids with Misa if he got trapped into it by her somehow, or had no other choice and really needed an heir for his Kira legacy... I think he'd probably more likely sneak around behind her back and choose somebody else to have kids with, if he had to

General Opinion:

an interesting mess of a relationship, but I often don't exactly agree with how a lot of the fandom views it, I think

LxMISA:

This ship is my: cartoon version of Grusk, lol

I consider this ship’s feelings:

Mutual | Mixed | Strange | Awkward | Platonic | Sibling-like | One-sided | They don’t really like each other

I think L was a huge dick to Misa most of the time, but I also think their weird bratty dynamic is kind of funny sometimes too. There's definitely something entertaining about the constant friction between them, anyway

I’d consider the relationship:

Healthy | Awkward | Abusive | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together

they'd fight like middle-schoolers constantly, but maybe that's kind of their special thing?

Children:

No | Yes | They’d think about it

both far too childish themselves

Misa: Oh Light, that’s so sweet.

Light: Me.

Misa: Wait… WHAT?

Light and Misa’s bedroom:

▼ ☠ ■ for Misa

And ♒ for Light, please.

Hello!! Thx and sure thing

MISA + CHILDHOOD: she is the baby in her family, and has one sister who is older by at least half-a-dozen years. They’ve gone through many phases of being very close and then having huge falling outs and not speaking to each other at all for months, because they’re too similar in temperament and too different in values to ever truly get along. Misa wasn’t speaking to her sister at all by the time the Kira investigation was underway, because they fought so viciously over how differently they both processed their grief and divided all the assets following their parents’ sudden deaths

MISA + ANGRY/VIOLENT: Whenever it comes to the fight or flight response, Misa will unquestioningly pick a fight 9 times out of 10

MISA + BEDROOM/HOUSE/LIVING QUARTERS: Her shared apartment with Light was the most blandly decorated place she ever lived, because apart from filling their living room up with task force equipment Light put exactly zero effort into furnishing it himself. He left all the aesthetic decisions up to Misa, which she found almost more insulting than if he’d actually cared enough to have disagreements with her on any of her choices. She threw most of her energy into decking out their bedroom with lavish draperies and luxurious bedding and such, hoping it would tempt him into spending more time lounging around and snuggling with her in the evenings and mornings, but unfortunately no such luck
