    Fandoms: Death Note

    Summary

    Messy, frank speculation on Mikami's characterization, and how the subset of Death Note fandom that likes Mikami relates to him. When a character really gets stuck in my head sometimes what helps me get on with anything else is tracing the shape of what they're bringing up - and it's often at least as rooted in the context of me and the other people writing about them as it is in the context of their canon.

    Initially written with the Mikaminotyukami comm on LiveJournal in mind, but not posted at the time because the meta got personal and I got shy. (In short.) And also because it ends a little abruptly, leaving me with a sense of "there should be more but I'm not sure WHAT."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I just want to highlight this as my exact thoughts on Mikami’s character and why I like him so much.
