DEAR DEATH NOTE:

ALL THE APPLE SYMBOLISM IN YOUR OPENING IS JUST MAKING ME THINK OF TWILIGHT.

YOU DON'T REALLY WANT ME TO CROSS YOU OVER WITH TWILIGHT, DO YOU?

(ALSO SERIOUSLY LIGHT STOP REMINDING ME OF MY BROTHER; IT IS TERRIFYING)

...in a Twilight crossover, would Ryuuku be Edward and Light Bella? (I'm not thinking about this.)

Other things with which I would like to cross Death Note:

- Sherlock Holmes. This is purely because Light referred to L as the 'great detective'. What if Holmes were the one investigating the Kira case? He'd be much less technologically adept, probably, but he'd make up for that with awesome and Watson.

- Derren Brown.

hippyjolteon was the one who first suggested the idea of Derren Brown with a Death Note, and I think it is an idea of absolute genius. Derren Brown does occasionally (and rather worryingly) come to mind when Light is thinking over his methods and whether he could have done anything to give himself away. A Derren with a Death Note would be thinking everything through constantly.

Alternatively, he could make a rather good L. But he probably shouldn't take the places of both Light and L at once.

- I'd say I'd like to see a Merlin crossover in which L was trying to find out who the sorcerer in Camelot was, but it would take him approximately three seconds to pinpoint Merlin. Merlin is not a master of stealth.

Regarding the fifth episode of Death Note: LIGHT YOU ARE SUCH A BASTARD. (I almost typed 'DERREN YOU ARE SUCH A BASTARD' there. Hmm.) I mean, I knew Light was a bastard already, of course, but tricking Raye into using the Death Note? Not only killing him, but screwing up his afterlife? That's just not on, Light.

This is my new favourite YouTube comment ever:

i hate light hes so gayy he killed another fucking person what the hell is wrong with that creepp?

MAN, LIGHT, YOU'RE SUCH A DICK.

I was googling for pictures of Derren Brown to use in a manip, and instead I came across this, which just lead me to think that as well as making an AWESOME Light and a passable L, Derren could also be a pretty kickass shinigami.

I also feel this is a good opportunity to post my favourite ever Zira icon.

GETS ME EVERY TIME.

I LOVE IT. Oh, Derren, you are so evil.

I APPROVE OF THESE MANIPS.

Oh, my goodness, that picture is absolutely Derren as a shinigami. Amazing!

ALSO YES THAT ICON IS GLORIOUS. (Ahahaha, 'Zira'!)

A Sherlock Holmes and Death Note crossover would be fantastic!

There generally are not enough Sherlock Holmes crossovers, I feel. (WATSON WOULD HAVE A CHANSEY.)

(YES HE WOULD.) Just a tad off-topic, but did you ever watch Basil The Great Mouse Detective when you were younger? I keep trying to cross *that* over with Death Note. It's kinda disturbing, even by my standards.

I remember it!!! I always remembered it as 'The Great Mouse Detective' and forgot his name was Basil, but I remember it!

*now wants to watch it again*

Actually, I think I might have that on tape somewhere...

GASP. Remember my Sherlock Holmes/Life on Mars with ZOMBIES crossover? I had forgotten about that.

Also, I know nothing about Light or Death Note, but that amazing Youtube comment is making me imagine Light going around killing people with his ~rampant homosexuality~ HES SO GAYY.

Sadly, Light does not have killer rampant homosexuality. He's one of the few fictional characters I actually picture as completely asexual (he gets with girls sometimes, but it seems to be entirely for strategic purposes). I'm convinced he'd go for the mansex as part of some needlessly elaborate manipulation plot, but not do it for fun.

There should be a series about killing people with sheer gayness. Something like those stupid anti-marriage TV ads with the Dread Gay Storm Of Gay Marriage And Gayness threatening everyone else.

That was an amazing crossover, and I was sad that you never continued it.

As

amy_wolf says, Light is more or less asexual, and, sadly, he does not kill by impaling people with rainbows. He should, but he doesn't.

I WAS SAD TOO D: I'm not sure I could ever finish it now, but maybe I'll do an SPN/Sherlock Holmes zombie apocalypse instead, one day.

There really ought to be a character who goes around impaling people on rainbows. Maybe it's Derren Brown's secret power.

OH BY THE WAAAAAY ¬_¬ I have this friend,

theoret, who only found about Asylum after it was sold out - but yesterday it was Made Known that there are tickets available as people have backed out so I made her email them about it. She hasn't heard if she's got one yet and it's only a slim chance really, but if she DOES get one I said she could stay with us. SHE'S VERY NICE AND SHE LIKES RUBY. Also she's absolutely deranged, so I think you'd get on quite well.

I saw a very weird music video in a New Orleans gay bar once. It was all about the Gay Pimp Daddy, who'd defeat bad guys through the power of sheer gay. There were a number of vignettes, all with a consistent theme. Some gay guy or guys would be going around, trying to live their lives, then there'd be the "OH NO HOMOPHOBES!" moment (generally with a hilarious Batman-style caption along the line of "OH NO HOMOPHOBES!"). Then the Gay Pimp Daddy would dance out, with his assorted attractive young male backup dancer, and defeat the homophobes with a combination of sparkly rainbow magic and coordinated dance moves.

I don't actually remember the song at all, but the video was fun.

I can't believe you would wave the possibility of something so amazing in our faces and then say 'well, I don't remember what the song was, so you can't watch it.' Tsk.

Also, I haven't been ignoring you regarding the wrist circumference question; I just haven't answered because I don't know. I've been trying to find a tape measure, with little success. All I can tell you for the moment is the probably rather unhelpful fact that I can fit my index finger and thumb around it, and my fingers are of only moderate length.

Found it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za8EXkiqdPo&feature=related It's the first thing that shows up when you google 'gay pimp daddy'.

Could you maybe get a string the size of your wrist and put it against a ruler?

There really ought to be a character who goes around impaling people on rainbows. Maybe it's Derren Brown's secret power.

I think you may be right. (How many secret powers does Derren Brown have now?)

That's no problem! I wish

theoret luck.

He has all but the power of

:(

I'm just posting for the GIP :D

I love that icon far too much. Dropping a Death Note into Hogwarts would be so much fun. Evil fun.

Speaking of Sherlock Holmes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4K3aM5H5KM

I have seen this trailer, and I have no idea of what to think of it! I am going to have to watch it, I think, but I really don't know whether I am going to love it or hate it. At least it looks as if they are going to make Watson competent.

Competent Watson is good. And I think it's going to be a more balanced film than the trailer suggests. The way the trailer's been cut suggests somebody was trying to make it look like a pure action film, rather than the rather smarter sort of film a good Sherlock Homes film should be.

I look at most youtube comments and despair.

On the other hand, if this is the general young population's writing and intellectual ability, then I shouldn't have too much trouble getting into graduate school.

OH MY GOD I WANT TO SEE L AND MERLIN INTERACTING NOW.

Well, homophobic language and questionable spelling aside, at least that particular commenter, er, understands that killing people is wrong?

I would like to see Merlin helping with the Light investigation. Actually, no, I wouldn't, because then he would probably get killed. But, yes, he and L need to meet.
