Can someone recommend some good lawlight fanfiction that is recent and actually finished? I know "lawlight in 2025?!" Yes and the fanfictions I've tried to read aren't my taste it's like the author always doesn't have a good grasp on Lights character and makes him completely not himself and it makes reading impossible.
But if there is none I would love fanfiction recs from stuff like persona five (akeshu lots of angst please), our flag means death (anything where izzy is the center focus), stranger things (especially billy focused ones), descendants (Chad charming but don't recommend rebelpaisley I've literally read all their descendants works), or bunguo stray dogs (I like mori centric ones and I mean good ones not just ones that call him a p3d0. The ones where they actually explore his character and complexities)
talkin' about the most recent leaked audition tape below the cut!
so we now have the leaked archie audition tape, archie being one of the two probable s2 lesbians and who will be played by madeleine sami (who is not actually the woman in the audition tape, for those of you who are also faceblind like me lol). i want to talk about the first scene from the audition tape
it's hard to tell what's going on, since it sounds like there's at least three characters in this scene and two of those characters are being read by someone off-screen. but here's a rough transcript of that scene:
READER(CHARACTER 1?): Let me die you cunts! Archie: Woah, hey! Easy on the c-word, compadre. That word just—makes me feel really uncomfortable READER(CHARACTER 2?): Sorry, man, we got orders. ARCHIE: Bite down on this. [HOLDS OUT BELT] READER(CHARACTER 1?): Bite down on my nob you bugging twat! ARCHIE: ...Okay. [ARCHIE SMACKS THE BELT ONTO A TABLE OFF-SCREEN, POSSIBLY KNOCKING CHARACTER 1? UNCONSCIOUS] ARCHIE: Um, do you think you could do the honors? Cause I’m—I’ll be honest I’m more of a, um, stabber than a chopper. I don’t love chopping. [SMACK NOISE FROM SOMEWHERE OFF-CAMERA, PRESUMABLY THE CHOPPING] ARCHIE: Ooh, haha, ugh. Icky. Icky yucky. READER(CHARACTER 2?): Well that was um, that was intense. ARCHIE: Haha. Super intense, eh? Superrr intense. [LONG PAUSE, ARCHIE MAKES PROLONGED EYE CONTACT WITH PERSON OFF-CAMERA] ARCHIE: [WHISPERS] Do you wanna...? [ARCHIE GRINS AND RUNS OFF-CAMERA]
so, obviously we have to take scenes from auditions tapes with a grain of salt. like, i doubt this is finalized dialogue. it's possible the plot has changed in some way since casting the role of archie. and also, again, it's kind of hard to really tell what's going on
but from what i can see, here's what i personally think is going on:
izzy is character 1
izzy is getting something amputated. probably his foot or part of his leg.
izzy calls the people in the room "cunts"
archie expresses discomfort with the word "cunt"
izzy then calls her a bugging twat
archie knocks him unconscious
the other person in the room proceeds to chop off izzy's body part
archie and the other person in the room... get horny from this? and leave to go hook up
(that last one tracks with the next scene, where it sounds like ed is making archie and another person fight to the death because "all love dies." this could be the same person who did the "chopping" in the scene above.)
and again, we don't know for sure that this is what's going on here! the plot might change, and it's kinda hard to tell who's saying what. but here's my main takeaways from this bit:
unlike the toe scene, this scene seems tonally in-line with lucius's amputation scene in s1e06. just like how roach saying "knives are knives, meat's meat" was meant to be funny, archie's "icky, icky yucky!" is meant to be funny. it's also meant to be funny that and then she makes bedroom eyes at the person behind the camera and they presumably go hook up, after just having chopped a body part off izzy.
and yeah, that's pretty gross and fucked up! yknow what else is fucked up? the nose jar. lucius cutting off his own finger. making a turtle fight a crab. beating each other up for "vacation." lighting people on fire. turning people into furniture. "making some poor bloke eat his own toe for a laugh."
the show treats stuff like this as funny. this is nothing new. this should absolutely not be a surprise to anyone. izzy's foot (or other body part, but most likely his foot as a result of an infection) getting cut off in a comedy scene is very on-brand for this show.
izzy's probably delirious and feverish from his infection, just like lucius was in s1e06. interestingly enough, lucius did not call anyone misogynistic slurs when he was delirious and in pain. and lucius especially didn't call anyone a misogynistic slur after they told him they were uncomfortable with the first misogynistic slur he called them.
yeah, izzy's probably delirious in this scene. but the writers who wrote this dialogue probably weren't. in this scene, a woman expresses discomfort with being called a misogynistic slur, and when izzy then tells her to "bite down on my knob you bugging twat" she proceeds to hit him, possibly knocking him out. this is not the final cut of the show, so this scene might play out differently on screen, or maybe this scene will be cut altogether. but i think there's three possibilities for what this means for izzy's character arc in season 2:
they cut this scene entirely and we never see izzy say sexist slurs to a woman at any point in season two. if/when he continues to say "twat" or "cunt" it does not get called out
izzy gets the same feminism 101 arc that black pete got in season 1
the story punishes izzy for using sexist slurs but he doesn't have any character growth about it. izzy getting body parts chopped off becomes a running gag.
and on a smaller scale, here's what i think it means for this scene alone, provided that the final cut of the show has similar dialogue:
the writers chose to have izzy call a woman a cunt to her face because they want to make it clear that he is the butt of the joke in this scene
this is different from lucius's amputation scene, where he was still the butt of the joke but he was portrayed more sympathetically. this decision to write izzy less sympathetically was done deliberately.
bro they literally just leave him there. like they chop a body part off this man and then leave him there. they don't stitch him up or anything they just leave his unidentified body part as a bleeding stump. whatever they cut off is probably still on the goddamn table.
this shit is hilarious i love this show so fucking much.
I don't know how to feel right now. I haven't ever been a big KISS fan because I was born in 2006 and never felt a strong connection with the band. I didn't know any songs besides "I was made for loving you" and I didn't even know any of the band members names. However, now as of March 2024 I learned more about KISS not because of the band but because of a person who was in the band. The first band members name i ever learned was Eric Carr's name. I guess much like other people they felt a connection with him. I felt that when i started watching videos of him goofing off (I wasn't even listening to any of the music he made/helped make. I was purely just watching for who he was as a person). I don't feel that type of connection with any other band members like you won't be seeing me actively reading a Gene Simmons biography because I want too. Eric Carr just seemed so human. He was such a good guy and I may not have met him but hearing stories about him...I kinda miss the guy you know? How could I miss someone I never had the chance to meet? Even as I'm sitting here crying while writing this every so often glancing at the picture of Eric Carr on the face of my own copy of "The Eric Carr Story" I feel like I need to make this post. I wrote this type of post before I read the book but it sadly got deleted. However, after reading the book in basically one day I feel compelled to rewrite it to get my own emotions and feelings out. One thing I wrote in the previous post that stood out was that I said I felt empty. I get like that sometimes when I get so vested into a person its like I lose a part of myself. So I was feeling very hollow before I read the book. But now after reading the book I feel like I gave that part of myself to Eric Carr and he sorta handed me back this piece of hope and confidence to keep going with my life to strive for better things. I think for me at least Eric Carr is the best drummer in the world not just for his skill but also for who he was as a person. He is definitely one of my role models now to strive to be remembered as someone who did something. I don't cry a lot it's not who I am but when i read the book and write this post I'm crying. It really shows how in such little of a time that I've learned of Eric Carr how much he grew on me and influenced me. I'm very glad I had the chance to learn about him through the people who loved him like his family, Carrie Stevens, and the many people who befriended him. I hope no one forgets who he was and what he's done for everyone.
Keep Rock n Rollin, Izzy
Shout out to @spacefoxy and many other fans for posting so much amazing Eric Carr content. I think it helps a lot of people in many different ways.
P.S I won't speak on my own feelings of KISS the band and who they are now and what they did while Eric Carr was sick and dying. But I hope their happy because I think at the end of the day Eric would have wanted them to be happy too.

I think akechi SHOULD get a redemption Arc sometimes I feel like the fandom forgets that despite everything he was a child while doing this he wasn't mature enough to make such big decisions as murder and no adults around him were helping him and he was all alone with this anger boiling inside of him and although I do relate and sympathize with him I do think he should apologize to characters like haru and futaba but in my mind I don't think he regrets all his actions I think he more regrets the effects of his actions and he needs to live with that and I think his whole relationship with the protagonist is what would drive him to get this redemption arc because the protagonist understands him and that's what's special about the relationship and that's why people ship them so much. The protagonist and Akechi are the same person it's just the protagonist had the rest of the phantom thieves and Goro had no one until he met the protagonist and he made his decision and he's lying with the bed he made. His mom died his father abandoned him before he was even born he was in the foster care system and later on getting used by his father and he ended up dying alone but however with the knowledge that he would not be forgotten by the one person who truly knew him who carried a piece of him. Goro akechi is a deep character and I think Atlus did an amazing job in fleshing out his character and I do hope they may do more of that as a fan but if goro were not to come up again I think I'd be content. There's so much discussions you can have about his character and technically none of it's right and none of it's wrong the only things right is what's solidly said in the game but we don't know if that's actual fact because goro is known to have masks like how his whole detective Prince persona was fake even in royal him what if he was just playing a character trying to get the protagonist to finally accept that he needs to let him go to move on with his life and I think that's what persona 5 strikers symbolize it's the protagonist moving on from losing someone who understands him much more than his friends and knows him in a way that he doesn't let anybody else. Although he is not directly mentioned in strikers there's definitely illusions to him especially when they are talking about shido with zenkichi and how they've all been through this kind of thing before. It's just displays how deep that their relationship was together and I'm not just talking in like a romantic way since I ship them it's just they were pitted against each other by a god let that sink in A GOD who decided he wanted to play games with humanity pitted these two people against each other they were meant to be rivals they were meant to understand each other. And like akechi himself said if they met up years before maybe even just a month before all that happen could have been different. Anyway thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Guys should I make a fanfiction about light because there's this little one shot that I read that really inspired me I'll link it in the comments once I find it again. But basically it was about how ryuk didn't want to tell light about one small thing and he didn't want to tell it to him not because he wanted to mess with light like he usually does but because not to put spoilers but it wouldn't have done light any good.
Basically my idea is to essentially explore that idea that the amount of time light has throughout his life changes multiple times based on how he is feeling and how he is mentally. Not just starting from the beginning of death Note but going all the way back to his childhood. I want to explore how his life as a police chief's son made him feel bored and that his life was monotonous but also how it affected his morals and how those morals got extrapolated to a major degree because of the corrupting nature of the death note. I also want to explore themes of loneliness and not being understood in the way that is so unique to him because he doesn't feel emotions like everyone else because at least what I've seen in the anime light doesn't seem like he has friends so I'm going to explore the friendship between him and L when he gets introduced obviously because in the same way that light is L's first friend is the same way L is lights first friend. Because the way I can understand their friendship is kind of like persona 5's main character and akechi goro because they have such a unique friendship that there are things only they can understand about each other that no one else can.
Also mind you I haven't watched death Note in years and this is my first time getting back into it. So if I do write this there may be some points that happened in Canon that I will forget. And I might explore the relationship between light and Misa because their relationship is very important to the plot because Misa doesn't love light she's obsessed with kira but light isn't kira and she very willingly lets herself be used by kira / light because even when light doesn't have his memory he still uses Misa and Misa lets it happen. Then I would also go into how light feels about misa's obsession because obviously he's using her that's plain and simple but he sees the necessity of having a girlfriend in the society they are in especially a girlfriend who is very highly regarded in that society. I want to explore how he feels like relationships aren't something he wants but he sees it as a necessity to get by.
Is this a good idea or no?
Also I don't know but I MIGHT make this a lawlight fanfiction. But it's not going to be in the way that it's going to be the primary focus of the fanfiction or making their personalities and beliefs change to suit the stereotypes that a lot of people put on to the relationship when writing fanfiction. The way I would go about their relationship would be kind of like how Misa and light mutually use each other but instead of obsession like misa has for light it would be a mutual understanding between l and light that they're both using each other but it's beneficial for both of them and that it's a two-way street rather than essentially a one-way Street like Misa and light.

I just came up with the most original KISS joke
It goes:
Q: What language does Gene Simmons speak?
A: he speaks in tongues 😂
Do y'all think the members of KISS ever look back at the 70s, 80s, and 90s and go "wow those were some crazy nights"
I don't know if I made this joke yet but I find it very funny
"love of my life"
Yeah right these two look like me and my exes every time we told each other we were the love of each other's lives even though we were so toxic to each other.
