an incomplete list of death note things i thought were just jokes until i found out they were canon:
- the potato chip scene. how is that real.
- apples
- the whole “this is something only kira would do, on the other hand, if i don’t do it, he’ll definitely think i’m kira, but …” and “kira would never do that, unless he is kira, in which case he would do the opposite of what i know he would do, so that actually increases his likelihood …” dynamic that light and L have is not an exaggeration. they really do overthink everything to that degree
- the thing that looks like a monster is more mentally stable than the normal human boy
- light isn’t attracted to misa
