101. AGREED. It's the most annoying thing ever.

106. luuuulz bbv

107. Lesbians are cool too!
In some fandoms it's not possible though, due to lack of precedence of female characters. WHICH SUCKS

109. Seconded. That'd be awesome.

112. Oh God now I wanna watch it

114. OH GOD THIS SECRET IS AMAZING

116. ARE YOU ME

118. Amen ♥ PW kink Meme got me back into writing fanfics, and damn does it feel gewwwwwd

125. Agreeeeed ♥

131. Anime is meant to orchestrate paedophilic longings in its watchers
It's a conspiracy theory of mine

143. DDD8

144. Literally when I scrolled past this secret 'Prince Charming' by Adam and the Ants came into my head and I dunno

146. I LOVE Tamora Pierce. ♥ Don't worry, everyone realises Twilight is shit. Mostly. Though I still read Twilight D:

149. That's really cute. ;w;

151. I think the appeal of Light is that he is a tragic hero. I know this might get me lynched, but he was an EXCELLENTLY flawed protagonist, and watching his downfall is as satisfying as it is depressing. That might be where some of the desire to 'do it right' comes from; Light never got any redemption or completion in his work, and that's the saddest thing about him (hell, even L got his goals granted post-mortem)

151. Iawtc sooo hard. Light's my fave because he's so utterly insane--so you're sad when he dies because you liked him so much, but at the same time, you know it has to be that way.

But what work did he do? I'm curious because I just don't see why so many people think he's tragic and should've gotten redemption and whatnot. I mean, if he'd done what he did because he seriously wanted to help people and make the world a better place then I'd understand, but this phase lasted for about five whole minutes before he went "I'LL BE A GOD MUAHAHAHA" and he pretty much stayed like that till the end. He's a good character, I'll give him that (if not one I find particularly interesting for me), but tragic...?

Yeah, but his desire to be a God comes from his initial urge to stop crime happening. It's a sick, twisted desire to look over the state and kill anything that threatens him, and his goals become SEVERELY misdirected as the series goes on, but I still think he qualifies as tragic; mainly for how he is in the beginning (a genuinely charming, studious Yamada Taro) and the brief glimpses of him when he suffers from Death Note-induced amnesia. I do wish the creator hd expanded on those parts though, it would have made him a bit deeper...

Dunno... it may be just me but I didn't really get the impression that he was a nice, ordinary Everyday Guy from the beginning. I mean, if he was he wouldn't have ended up this way. (I always thought of pre-DN Light as a (stereo)typical frustrated Japanese honor student/model salaryman/etc. - polite, studious, all-around Nice Guy with a ton of frustration seething under the surface, ready to snap in any moment and god help people around him when it happens.)

Sure, he might have meant good at first, but any good he might've meant is completely overshadowed by what he actually did and wanted to do, and I just can't see how that five minute flash of "I want to help society" qualifies as anything but an excuse. I agree, though, that if the creator had expanded more on his character he could've became more well-rounded and interesting (for me, anyway), but as it is...

151-Get you lynched? No, you're right on! He's a fantastic protagonist. He's a hero for about one half of one episode, and then he immediately launches into tragic doomed hero for thirty-six and one-half eps. Seriously, he goes from, "Someone HAS to do this, it's gotta be me" Frodo archetype to "MUAHAHA" evil genius in five days. What's not to love?

I know this is from ages ago but I'm dieing to figure out who they're talking about. Any ideas?
