Fan art for I Hold Hands With Cosmic Entities by AdoxographicGrim on ao3 or @grimalkinmessor here on our little hell site. Ryuk is now a himbo who's just along for the ride and light is a morally gray twink who's maybe gunning for world domination. i spent two hours trying to make Ryuk's jeans look like proper leather, cried and gave up. i read cropped tee as crop top and realized too late id fucked up so i just commit to it,

Misa has only been mentioned so far and idk how much she's actually going to be in the story but they just all looked so cool together and i couldn't resist. it also looks like I'm edging into some alternative Band AU with this one but i aint mad about it.
.was making fan art for stray a fic on ao3 by @reaperlight thats like a venom/marvel/death note crossover and I finished light and was like trying to space/form symbiote Ryuk, decided ugh I'm going to go to bed ill just smack a lil face on Ryuk and do the rest tomorrow and i just couldn't resist sharing this absolute monstrosity.
light is giving male model and Ryuk looks like a fucked-up sperm and its everything to me.
....
I'm going to have to finish it tonight I can't leave him like this.
Fanart for stray on ao3 by our lovely @reaperlight . its a marvel/venom/death note crossover AU. I've never drawn a symbiote before so he's ugly af but yk. Gold star for trying. Light is of course giving male model and we love him for it. Anyways yeh, here ya go. took me over 4hrs cause the symbiote was a fucking struggle!! and he still looks janky but eeh
there is a special place in my heart for terratio fics where Ryuk is the “normal” one in the relationship (even though he is egging lights crazy schemes and general chaos vibes on) and Light is his feral little pet serial killer.
Look if i had a death god following me around for the rest of my life i would 1000% try and fuck them because im not a fuckin coward
tada human! ryuk thing i did like 2 weeks ago and forgot to post
Genuinely Ryuk is one of my favourite characters
He just shows up and is like
“y’all are weird asf lmao got any apples”
and he’s the best
Started reading Death Note for the first time and man, I gotta give it up for my guy Ryuk. Man showed up blinged out and seems to barely have a clue what’s going on. He has no dog in this fight. Just gonna watch this teenager try to become god and look cool as hell while doing it
Matsuda: I think-
Literally everyone else: Shut up Matsuda
I got the Midjourney AI today.
Midjourney is an AI that can create pictures like artist drew them.
This came out with the following prompt:
/imagine prompt: Ryuk, death note, with apples --ar 16:9
He's probably blogging about Lights stupidity.
I decided to use Midjourney to create a Ryuk with valentines theme.
I think it keeps taking reference on the not Anime Ryuk but these still look pretty cool.
I did it several times but these ones look good so I am sharing these.
Death Note but instead of Ryuk loving human apples he’s obsessed with the human world’s weed. The weed from the Shinigami realm is all reggie and brick weed. He shows up in the human world and discovers our dankest stickyickyicky and Light spends the rest of the series tossin him fat nugs.
Maybe it's the sudden evil vibes coming from you idk
Scheherezade
Here’s a short piece about Ryuk and Light and what it means to be a Greek chorus of one watching a tragedy in the making.
In truth, Ryuk isn’t sure if he could kill to save Light anymore, not without dying.
Ryuk loves him, in his own way — not as romance, and not as a parent loves a child, but as a precious thing to be witnessed and treasured. His moonlit pet, brilliant and hollow. He speaks with his eyes shut, thinking of distant things, and sleeps with his whole body beneath the blankets. When he pulls out his pen to kill, he twirls it twice, then falls silent as he scrolls through pages and pages of information, making his judgements.
He is seventeen years old. He is proud that he does his own laundry. Last week he spent thirty-seven minutes deciding whether or not to spare a triple-murderer for the sake of her pupal daughter, index finger pressed along the length of his lip, then wrote the name in a series of quick, deliberate strikes and turned the page with nothing more than a beat for the ink to dry.
Humans are filthy and depraved things, that’s what Ryuk has learned since he came down to their world, and Light is such a wonderful specimen of the species. He grows like a flower through shit.
Shinigami are not in the business of chronicling the lives of human beings, but Ryuk keeps a record of Light anyway. He stores it within the tunnels of his own mind. Perhaps one day he will repeat it to someone else and Light’s story will live on, but probably he’ll keep it just for himself.
Light doesn’t belong to the world. He’s made this very clear. He stands separate from it, declaring himself above and apart. He belongs, instead, to Ryuk. He doesn’t have friends anymore; he has only their talks at night, and the long walks to and from the school where Light learns about mathematics and emperors and kings.
Someday Ryuk will kill him. He’ll scrawl down his name and his heart will stop. He wasn’t there for the start, but he’ll be there to witness the end. This is how it should be. It is a promise and a mercy which Ryuk has designed: Light Yagami will not die alone.
Okay, but how does Light Yagami get around??? I’m rewatching Death Note and his eyes are shut like half the time??? How haven’t you tripped and died, son???
To everyone who writes Ryuk as not giving a damn about nobody nowhere… I see Ryuk as a very sentimental character in canon but only about one (1) person. Ryuk enjoyed talking with Light so very much that to go without their conversation was grounds to bitch at length. He regularly followed his commands when he didn’t have to do so, bent the rules as much as he seemingly could for Light, moving the notes around at the man’s wish, responding to unconventional wording for contracts and undoing contracts as if its good enough to give up on the Death Note, never reveals the man to anyone else even when it would be interesting to do so, is respectful towards his father, and in the scene he has to talk to Mikami he can’t WAIT to get back to Light, he looks like he’s going to bust a gut with joy whenever Light addresses him positively, I don’t know what else to say guys… because Ryuk cares about three things in canon 1) this rare enjoyment of his dreary eternity 2) because of *written in flashing neon lights* Light Yagami 3) coming at him with those fukkin apples
that’s my Ryght absolutely has subtext in canon (at the very mildest some one-sided pining) ted talk thanks for coming
