The Mad Hatter

I'm saying it now, this may be considered offensive to those who are obsessed with either Light or L. Also, I'd like to say now this is NOT a story, this is my take on Death Note's main character Light Yagami and those around him.

[spoiler=Light Yagami]

Light Yagami, the main character of Death Note. Spelled backwards, his last name is "Imagay" or "I'm a gay". This is mostly just used to make fun of the character, however I personally believe there is more to it. From what we know about the relationships with Misa and Takada, Light is doing nothing but using them. He absolutely does not love them. Saying that the only other remaining love interest left is mostly just used by teenage girls who watch the show. Yes I am talking about L. There is no doubt in my mind that L has feelings towards light, as shown in the scene when he dries Light's foot, just before his death. It becomes painfully obvious there is something there. Whether or not Light feels the same towards L is a different thing. I think Light knows that L has feelings towards him. I do not think he has feelings towards L. Light is not gay or heterosexual. He is definitely not bisexual. Light has absolutely no interest in anyone but himself. If he was ever to actually have intercourse with a girl, it would mean nothing more than Light wanting a child to succeed him. The "I'm a gay" part, in my opinion, only represents L's love towards Light. So then what is this all about? Well, I believe there is more to Light's reason for not wanting real love.

 

Pride:

 

Light, has to much pride to love. He feels love is a weakness. Though I feel the same myself, because of his feelings he doesn't open himself to love. This can be seen as the reason he is so cold.

 

Insanity:

 

Light technically kills his father. This is a clear sign that he doesn't care for anyone in any way. This is probably from the feelings he gets from using the Death Note. After killing so many people the human reaction is to grow crude and slowly become an empty shell of hate.

 

Power:

 

He wanted to become a god, and saw godhood as all he needed to survive. This can also be scene as a sign of insanity, or the reason he went insane.

 

Ryuk:

 

Ryuk gives him the power he wants. In that sense you can see the possibility of Light loving Ryuk in a brotherly way, or a gay way. I personally see it more as a brotherly way. He was given power by someone who played an important role in his life, and since we mostly see light with this power, it is possible that he feels like he owes Ryuk.

 

Self Glory:

 

The most likely of the reasons. He is so obsessed with himself that he feels himself too good for any male, female, or shinigami. It is not that he can't love, he just loves himself so much that he doesn't love anyone else.

yeah, you basically summed it up hatter. i have to wonder though, it's possible that he still had some familial feelings for his father at the time of his death, but that he was so consumed by the death note already that he either didn't notice, or just decided that he didn't care. either way, i personally believe that that was the thing that sent him tipping completely into insanity, especially when he gained his avatar teru mikami who saw kira (and thus light) as god.
