22. "Tragic" is the perfect word and that's exactly how I see him, too. ;o; I think he was so unfortunate to discover the Death Note during his teenage years when he was naturally cynical and naive, and was also unfortunate in having his father working in the police force which was what lead to his strong morals. And in my opinion, the power of the Death Note did corrupt him. Granted, more so than it would do to somebody else, but I believe that's due to those circumstances I mentioned. Had he been a little older when he picked it up, he'd probably have been working in the police (following in the footsteps of his father) and the Note wouldn't have affected him in the same way that it did since he'd already be cleansing the world of evil and wouldn't have needed it. He might have tested it out a couple of times but probably wouldn't have taken it any further than that.

It's even more tragic when you see how he COULD have been during the Yotsuba arc when he loses all his memories of the Note. He seemed to be a really nice person that genuinely cared about his Father, Misa, L etc. With Misa, for example, he was adamantly against playing around with her feelings and didn't want her to get hurt or put her in danger. It's sad.

tl;dr? Sorry. xD

I TL;DR worse than that on a regular basis ♥ Thank you so much for the comment, with all the people who go around calling him a sociopath it's great to know that I'm not missing some key piece of information and having a skewed perspective -- I see it the exact same way you do. I think as a teenager, Light was still very much trying to find his sense of self-definition and was looking for a role in the world -- one outside of the perfect straight-A student who made his parents proud etc. etc. etc. and wanted to find some sort of purpose to his life other than acing every test. Actually, Light finding the Death Note when he was fully an adult, not a teenager still really figuring out his place in the world, could be quite an interesting AU.

I tl;dr worse, too. xD But it was just a precaution, seeing as this is fandomsecrets and all.

Wow, you actually do see things the exact same way as me. :o ILU, OP. ♥♥ All the Light hate in this fandom really makes me sad sometimes. :[ And I really hate it when people go around calling him "evil"/"a bastard"/"an awful person" etc. I just don't think it's as simple as that.
