rionaleonhart: final fantasy xiii: lightning pays intense attention to you. (speak carefully)
More adventures in Final Fantasy XVI! I've just met, uh, Lord Byron, which is probably going to be a confusing statement for anyone who hasn't played this game.


Notes on Final Fantasy XVI. )


I love this mechanic where widows who've developed a big crush on me from rumours of my exploits can send me presents. Not enough games have 'strangers develop parasocial relationships with you' as a feature.
rionaleonhart: death note: light contemplates picking up this mysterious notebook. i'm sure it'll be fine. (here at the crossroads)
Just came across a Death Note fic concept I noted down on my phone back in 2020: 'Fic where Light tries to get Naomi's real name by seducing/sleeping with her, whether to get her to trust him or to put himself in a position where he can get a look at her ID.'

This is a terrible idea, but I would absolutely read it. I just enjoy how easy it is to put Light in situations where he ends up having sex for practical reasons while going 'ugh, I'm above this.' Sometimes you have to do something slightly distasteful in pursuit of your pure and noble goal of committing several thousand murders.

Below the cut, I just ramble directionlessly about Light's character for a while, apparently? Like Jack Shephard, Light Yagami is a character I just want to study under a microscope.


Talking about Light Yagami. )


Around this point, I realised it was silly to attempt a full summary of Light's character when I last watched Death Note three years ago. (There is a solid risk I'm on the verge of a rewatch.) He's fun to talk about, though!

Why are all my favourite characters the absolute worst? I'm not complaining; I'm just curious.
