self indulgent death note au where everything is the same execpt Lights a fucking loser. Everything is the same except hes literally just tomoko from watamote. overthinks everything. everyone thinks hes this cool suave guy but in his head hes just like “god DAMMIT ohhm y god no. noX I FORGOT MY FUCKING COFFEE ORDER THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING AND PATHETIC I NEED TO KILL MY SELF NOW???3” while the barista’s looking at him sighing dreamily. (plot twist: the barista is misa and her coworker is L. they both have very different opinions on light. misa just looks at him and thinks “what a guy.” and L’s only opinion on him is “wow what a loser he looks like hes in a constant state of sopping wet cat. (affectionate) ) Light is in crises half the time and people DO hate him but not for the reason he thinks. instead its because in his trying to always be perfect and get to places on time, he runs to places a lot and accidentally pushes people. so. much. atp theres a support group for people that Light Yagami has accidentally pushed in his hurry. anyways sorry for rambling i love light a lot but i think they should have internally made him a loser because come on. he has sad wet cat material and they wasted it on sad religious imagery of a teenage boy yearning to be something more. jk i love him :3 i just think he could have been more tragic in a radiohead/alex g way instead of a mitski way if u understand what that means.
“Listen kid, this isn’t some fairy-tale where you think every problem is solved because of some shining knight in armor or a bright and happy musical number…Welcome to Real-Life, Sleeping Beauty. Almost all marriages are arranged for money or status, that’s how it works. Besides, if I wanted to marry for love, a woman would have to be around MY age with a full rack, not some flat-chested high-schooler with Insomnia-on-steroids.”
- Kasper to Margarita after she discovers his adultery and motive behind their marriage.
One of the integral parts of Mithrun's story arc is that his one true desire is not to seek revenge on the demon but that he.....
... desires to die. Specifically at the hands of the demon, who he felt didnt finish the job after he was the dungeon master
There is a lot of foreshadowing up to this reveal such as:
-Mithrun's lack of ability to care about anything. His hygiene, his physical appearance, whether he is hungry or tired. All of this is common in those struggling with suicidal ideation and chronic depression. As Dungeon Meshi often toes the line between comedic and horror , usually comedic upon first inspection, horrifying with hind sight , i think this is best seen here:
...Why would he lie? Except subconsciously he wants to die. Whether through inaction , literally wasting away, or the dungeon monsters getting him. His preference would be for the demon to finish him off, but his actions sometimes show that the goal itself is death, no matter what methodology.
-Mithrun is covered in self harm scars. We know that he acquired them after his time as the dungeon master because of this story extra:
- this is further supplemented by his fighting style in the dungeon. Every action shows he is clearly a knife fighter, and yet he is never seen with a knife. He always improvizes weapons or is handed weapons by his comrades during combat.
Some examples of this:
This is even played as a joke in one chapter where Mithrun reaches towards the ground for a weapon before ultimately teleporting Kabru as his improvized weapon instead :
- which brings us to his teleportation abilities, it is extremely reckless for someone with no sense of direction and one eye leading to a lack of depth perception to rely on teleporting himself as his main trump card in fights. It shows a lack of value he puts on his own well being or survival
Although funny enough, the only time we ever see this go wrong in dungeon meshi is this extra where someone else, not Mithrun, is hurt:
- the reader is led to believe that Mithrun's goal is to defeat the demon for the majority of the story but when he does face Marcille and the demon , his eye glows its original gray, signifiying his desire and he says:
Mithrun is not addressing Marcille, he is addressing himself and ultimately he realizes his true desire is death just as he is about to recieve it
So YOU have chosen death. I'VE failed. The one who chose death has always been Mithrun , aware or not.
Marcille as the demon's proxy kills him. It is his first death in the dungeon, in any dungeon . Once he is revived , he is a blank slate with no desires left from his old self pre dungeon master. We are able to see what has always been hinted at, and Kabru confirms later on: Mithrun is able to gain new desires as long as he chooses to live:
Mithrun must live and seek new desires, he already has by surviving his death wish and then choosing to try and defeat the demon.(as shown by his eye glowing gray once more) He is capable of new desires and will live and find new meaning
After all one of dungeon meshi's major themes is the cycle of death and life :
The main cast learns to accept death, Mithrun to accept life.
Its why having a passively suicidal character realize their behavior and make steps to seek not death, not just surviving , but choosing to live is so impactful.
Once he accepts that, he is able to move on, his final words in the main story show that resolve. When talking about Falin he says this:
At the end of his quest for death, Mithrun chooses to live. As the text declares : your new life begins here
langwrightworth is so funny to me because you have phoenix who got hit by a car and only got his ankle sprained and you also have lang who got shot in the leg and just walked it away and then you have miles who got his ass beat by a badger
past!Mithrun wishing to be safe somewhere with no enemies that would harm him, and current!Mithrun doing risky things bc his sense of self-preservation is lost, is making me feel a certain way
Since I was dead before I was born.

there are two types of Christopher Pierre fans.
The ones who hate him
and the ones who love him unconditionally no matter how hard they try to convince themself that he’s a bad person
Margarita: How do I put myself into a coma without killing myself and without permanent brain damage?
Margarita: My life sucks, and I would commit suicide, but I think I might want to wake up later, I don't really want to die.
Margarita: Again, I don't want to die, I want to go to sleep for like a month.
Margarita: To all you idiots incapable of comprehension, I didn't ask how to improve my current circumstances, I asked how to induce a coma.
