Beyblade Heavyweight Division

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.

alyssum:  worth beyond beauty, insanity

red poppy: consolation, remembrance, death

L telling yo mama jokes about Kira’s mom while silently daring Light to come to the defense of a woman he doesn’t even know, I mean it’s Kira’s mother, anyone who raised such a horrible murderer must be the worst parent in the world. I bet she’s ugly too. I bet she was lying when she told Kira how proud she was about his test scores

Light Yagami's fingers twitch around his coffee cup.

"I'm sorry," L says, "does this upset you?"

"Of course it doesn't upset me," Light says, smiling brightly. His eyes crease shut when he smiles. Windows of the soul: closed for today, come back tomorrow. "I'm just not sure what this has to do with catching Kira."

"Well, we are trying to profile Kira," L says. "Which includes his relationships with his parents. You called him an affluent child, yes?"

"Yeah."

"It would make sense for Kira's mother to be neglectful," L muses. "He has all of Mommy's money and none of her love. That would give anyone a chip on their shoulder."

"What, you think Kira has an inferiority complex? Why would he? You said it yourself, he thinks what he's doing is justice."

"An attempt to discipline the world," L says. "Perhaps as a reflection of a lack of his mother's gentle guidance?"

"Or his father's," Light says.

"…Go on."

Light's knuckles whiten. L very carefully does not smile. "I'm just saying, I don't know why you're focusing on his mom all of a sudden. It's not like it's the fault of parents when their children choose to become delinquent. Besides, there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of neglectful parents just in Tokyo. It won't narrow down our suspect pool—"

Ah, another trademark Light Yagami monologue. L decides to take the time to eat his cake.

"—and don't you think that it's unfair to say such things about a woman, even if she did raise a murderer?" Light crosses his arms. "Calling her ugly, really, Ryuga? That's kind of sexist."

L tucks his knees tighter to his chest in an attempt to increase his willpower enough to stop himself from cackling. "You think I'm sexist."

"It's not a personal attack," Light says. "But it's always good to reexamine your unconscious biases."

Well, he's wrong. L's biases are very conscious. For example, Light Yagami is absolutely Kira. "Thank you, Yagami-kun, I'll keep that in mind."

"You're welcome," Light says, heroically.

"I suppose that I should feel sorry for her, then."

"Sorry?"

"This poor, overworked woman who has her hands full taking care of such a spoiled child."

"Just because he's affluent doesn't mean he's spoiled," Light snaps.

"I can't imagine how heartbroken she would be to know her son was a murderer," L barrels on mournfully. "You're right, Yagami-kun. I should have empathized with her position. This must be very hard for her."

"I'm glad you're more in touch with women's struggles now, Ryuga." Light takes a sip of his coffee. His face is blank when he puts it down. "So about the profile for the actual murderer—"

"I still think she lied about the test scores, though," L says, and that's what gets Light to start screaming at him.

I feel like the thing thats really different about the polish trans experience is that because the language is heavily gendered and asking about a persons gender is very much not normalized, now that my body looks mostly androgynous people started referring to me with grammatical forms that have never been uttered by human tongue before. Last week a woman couldn’t decide what gender I was so after trying several she settled on speaking to me in plural and infinitive

When I started to post my fics for this ship, only 4 works existed for them on Ao3 (and the relationship tag was wrongly named, it took a 2 months fight with the support to correct it), so I never expected I will ever get to see this 🥰🥰

I am really happy (even if 189 from these are mine, but I will be always ready to shower my ship with love. They are a great and underrated pairing ❤️❤️ I still have a lot of fic ideas for them, AUs to explore and a longfic in progress)
