Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Honestly, it's pretty great when they introduce this brilliant detective character, and he's a complete weirdo who can't even sit in a chair properly. In a generous reading, it communicates how he's putting negligible effort into social norms, implying he's either completely blind to them... or acutely aware of them, but unswayed. So all the sociopathic charm Light can muster becomes the baseline L expects when trying to model how the killer would act versus how an innocent suspect would act.
