Anonymous asked: Light-kun, why didn't you become a model when you were alive? I'm sure you'll have more fans and people would follow your orders.
Becoming a model would have made Light popular. I wouldn’t want people to know about Light, I wanted the world to know about Kira. The modeling industry wouldn’t have gained me the types of followers and popularity that I would have wanted anyway. So I think I’ll leave the modeling to Misa, thank you very much.
new-england-fire asked: Hello Light :) hah it's good to see you can still talk to some of us, even though you're now in Mu. I just wanted to ask, if that's alright, do you regret what happened after obtaining the notebook? You had a noble purpose at first, but it seemed like you became a bit obsessed protecting your worldwide reputation after encountering L. Itlooked like being right became more important to you than punishing criminals after a while, but I'm not entirely sure. Could you help me understand a bit?
Hello. Yes, it’s very convenient.
I’ll admit, the power of the notebook tainted me to some degree. Rather regrettable, but I knew it would happen. I knew that to change the world I would have to change myself, and become the very thing I despised. But sacrificing my own soul would be worth it if I could bring happiness to the innocent.
I hope that sheds some light on the subject and answered your question.
i-am-justice asked: Well then. I guess I'll ask another question. If you hadn't known L as L, but more of Ryuzaki, do you think you might have trusted him enough to tell him you were Kira?
No, definitely not. I only trusted those whom I knew without a doubt to be loyal with my identity later on, but that was mostly out of necessity as I couldn’t move on my own then. Even without the possibility of being L, Ryuzaki’s still a pretty suspicious character.
Anonymous asked: Light, how do you know so much about the period? Did they teach it to you in school?
I wouldn’t say I know a lot, just enough to answer the person’s question and send them on their way. And no, they didn’t teach it in school. I had a mother and a sister, I was bound to figure it out eventually.
Anonymous asked: Do you hate/dislike Watari? If so, can you tell me why? Thank you in advance
No. He helped L and stood in my way, but I don’t have a particular hatred towards the old man.
Anonymous asked: When you lost your memory and continued to help L with the investigation, you absolutely refused to manipulate Misa because it went against what you stood for, yet whilst in possession of the notebook all you ever did was use Misa. Can you explain the sudden change in your morals?
Without memory of my higher goal, I was like a different person. As Kira, using Misa was necessary, but without memory of Kira’s goals, manipulating a woman would be unthinkable.
luc-fer asked: Did you think about what would happen after you died? I mean assuming you did win, and Near and his team all died. And your "team" I suppose. Who would be your successor after you died?
Yes, I had thought about that. I would have picked my successor in much the same way I picked Mikami.
Anonymous asked: Light, at first you seemed troubled by the thought that you had killed people, but quickly your thoughts changed. Do you believe there is a possibility that this happened because psychologically and unconsciously you were trying to protect yourself and your mind? You had to find some way to validate your actions and telling yourself "they deserved to die" thus leading to the birth of Kira. Or had you always believed that criminals should die no matter what?
I had always believed that the justice system was corrupt and that criminals deserved harsher sentences, but the more I looked at the world around me, the more I realized how rotten this world really is. And then I realized that the world would be better off without all those immoral monsters of the world that somehow manage to escape the law.
At first I was troubled because I thought killing to be wrong, but I soon changed my thoughts when I realized it could help change the world.
So neither option that you have given me is correct. I don’t believe that I changed my mind subconsciously in order to protect myself, and I haven’t always believed that criminals should die. I simply looked at the world around me, looked at the possibilities, and came to the conclusion that I believed would help save the world.
mayhudson asked: Tutturu~!Hello, Light!How are you today?Meeh, I need to talk with you more often~ So, I wanted to know your opinions about yanderes and tsunderes.
Hello.
I don’t really have an opinion on yanderes and tsunderes. I enjoy anime and manga from time to time, but I’m not that into it, and I’m not that familiar with some terms. Sorry.
i-am-justice asked: Would you prefer Mello, Matt, Near, or Beyond Birthday as L's successor?
I know that this is probably not the answer you were hoping for, but it really doesn’t matter to me. Any successor of L’s is considered an enemy that needs to be eliminated.
Anonymous asked: Say you hadn't lost - Near and the Task Force had all died, and you had won. Would you have gone on to destroy Wammy's House?
Yes. There would be no more L, no more child prodigies groomed to take over the famous detective’s position.
Of course, I wouldn’t kill or harm the children in that orphanage in any way. They’re all highly intelligent and completely innocent; they’d be a gift to society. I would find new homes for them.
It’s Wammy’s House and what it stands for that I wouldn’t be able to tolerate in my new world.
Anonymous asked: are you a ghost?
No.
(OOC: I’m so sorry you guys, but I’m going to be needing to take a break from answering questions for a while due to being extremely sick. I want to answer your questions properly, and I just can’t do it when I’m in this state. Carry on filling up my inbox and stuff, just know that I won’t be able to get on and be active for at least several more days, unless some miracle occurs. Just thought I’d let you all know. Thanks! :) )

I don’t particularly like or dislike mongoose.
Anonymous asked: Would you ever get married?
Sure. If I was still alive and had reached my ultimate goal, than yes, I suppose I wouldn’t be against getting married.
