Emulate Death Note's L
L (a.k.a Lawliet) is loved by Death Note fans all around the world! If you are one of those fans and want to be just like him, here's what to do:
Steps
- Keep your hair messy. He doesn't have very neat hair like Light Yagami. Make sure not to brush it too much. Do not let your hair fall past your neck, though, and dye it black if possible.
- Wear a simple full-sleeved shirt. It should be white but any colour is fine. It shouldn't have anything written, drawn, or made on it. Nothing.
- Wear jeans. They should be denim-styled and a faded blue. Keep them a bit loose but not too loose! They shouldn't fall off! Also, despite them being loose, try not to appear overweight. L as a character stated that using his brain keeps him thin. It's a fine line, but as long as you keep it natural, it's totally fine.
- Don't wear shoes in the house. Only wear a pair of white sneakers if you're going outside. Don't wear socks either (he dislikes socks).
- Don't wear anything else. This means no accessories! No watches, rings, bracelets or anything like that! Keep it simple and only wear the items mentioned above.
- Take note of each and everything around you. Whenever you find yourself in a seated position, start noticing the different things happening around you. This is for work that may require detail.
- When you are seated, sit in a curved position, with your legs touching your chin and your thumb in your mouth (not like babies, just the nail). If someone asks why you're sitting like that or why are you so weird, just tell them it's your way of doing things.
- Always have something to eat. Be it small snacks like chocolate, a piece of cake or coffee. Or even just eat sugar cubes straight-up.
- When eating cake with strawberry on it, (it seems to be his favorite) finish the cake first before eating the strawberry.
- Drink sweetened coffee (adding milk is optional) often but make sure it's not too much caffeine for you! Black tea is acceptable too, but make sure you add a few sugar cubes.
- If you ever have to pick something up, hold it from the top with you thumb and index finger (make sure you don't drop it). You can also hold a book/Death Note upside down only if you can read it upside down.
- Talk in a quiet but serious manner. Don't raise your voice until it's something unexpected.
- If you're walking, walk in a crouched and sloppy posture with your back curved.
- If you're thinking about something, move your feet about. Put one foot on the other and keep doing it with both of your feet. In other words, rub one foot on top of the other.
- Never give your true name! If someone asks you your name, say "You can call me L".
- Have dark circles around your eyes and roll them whenever you're thinking about something. You can darken your eyes with eye makeup.
- Keep a laptop and make sure it's yours and that you don't have to share it with anyone. While using it, sit in the same position and if possible, place it on the floor.
- Be rather secretive about your laptop; this means have a secure password and general protection from prying eyes.
- Have a partner who's by you and supports you 24/7. Call him Watari. It can also be a sibling who's interested.
- Have a childish and competitive personality and be able to do daring moves. L hates losing, no matter how small the contest. Be very suspicious by nature.
- Play with your food. This can go from stacking up sugar cubes, bean jelly and eating the wrapper along with the rice cake (maybe L didn't want to get his hand dirty?). Be able to knot a cherry stem with your tongue.
Tips
- Ignore anyone who insults you.
- L seems to have a habit of scattering biscuits on the table before eating them.
- Eat cake. A lot.
- If some one asks you why you don't get fat, say "I find that you don't gain weight as long as you use your brain."
- If you're drinking coffee, make sure to add extra sugar cubes with a small teaspoon! Or use your hands.
- Be the best L there is! Do everything like him and you'll end up being exactly like him. His habits will become your habits eventually.
- Realize that eating too many sweets is unhealthy. It's basically impossible to eat the quantity of sugar that L eats, without some sort of repercussion. Sadly, L is a character from an Anime, and isn't real.
- If you can't cut your hair, it's fine! You can wear your hair in an messy bun or high ponytail. If someone asks you about it, make up an excuse for it.
Warnings
- Your appearance may make people think you're weird. (Which you just might be, but if you are, just embrace it. It's not a bad thing!)
- Eating too much sweets will get you fat. L can burn calories with his mind, but you can't.
- If you sit in a curved position in school, you may be punished for that!
- Food is actually for eating, not playing with. You probably shouldn't play with it in front of a parent unless they are okay with it.
Things You'll Need
- Messy, black hair
- Dark eye make up
- A simple, white (optional), long-sleeved shirt
- Light denim jeans
- Sweets. Lots of sweets.
- White sneakers - Despite him never wearing footwear in the show.
- A 'partner'
