Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

 

It focuses on Dark Yagami, Light's twin brother who trained at Whammy House but is secretly Kira. At first. The story meanders to such an extent that any possible summary would be almost irrelevant by the third chapter, by which point Light's sister Sayu is "sexing" with Misa to steal her Death Note for her dad who has taken Watari's job because Dark told him to but is secretly working for L. Later he goes to prison then comes back and becomes King of the Shinigami before time-travelling to France to kill Near to stop a [[Temporal Paradox|time paradox]]. So... yeah.

 

 

 

 

The author recently wrote a crossover with ''[[The Hunger Games]]'', called ''[[The Hunger Note Games]]'', where Dark Yagami participates in the titular games.

 

----

* [[All There in the Manual]]: [http://twitter.com/#!/RealDarkYagami The author's twitter] will occasionally update us on the state or whereabouts of characters, such as Ryuk dying in a car accident/poisoning, before being resurrected by Blud.

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: See [[You Fail History Forever]]

** Other climaxes are a lot more climaxful, especially the last ten chapters.

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Apparently the point of chapter 40. D'ark even gives us this handy death tally:

Also Day got punched by L while he was tying his shoes! }}

* [[Apocalypse How]]: {{spoiler|Class 6}} by the end.

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]] - Surpisingly, lampshaded and averted.

''"NO COS THIS IS THE DEATH NOT WORLD WHERE SHINIGAMI ARE POSABLE"'' }}

** [[Memetic Mutation|Ghosts don exits]]?

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]] - In his evil base, Light has "computers and lasers and a nuclear and an xbox 360".

- [P]eople cried more until there was hurricanes and flooding and ducks everywhere stealing peopls' bread.|"The sofa and the tv and soichiros favorite coffee table all got smashed to bits. Ray pember joined in the smashing and broke a book."}}

** This might be a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Red vs. Blue]]''.

** Also, Dark apparently grows a mustache while changing his clothes.

** If you fall twenty feet onto a barbecue that's lit, you won't be in any danger of catching on fire if you have an erection. Okay, that probably isn't what the author meant by "he was hard", but it's difficult to read it differently.

** If you cut your hair, don't wear make up, and get a tattoo that says "IM [sic] A DUDE" you will look like a man. Even if you're a woman. And you're naked.

** If your arms are injected with poison, you can "gargle all the poison out" and just spit it out.

* [[Artistic License Geography]]: "''We sent him to a top secret orphanage in Whales (its a town in England)''"

** And Light's parents grew up in the Middle Ages. And had glasses. And Shakespeare. And fanfiction.

** Shakespeare is the king of England. And since this is before the Declaration of Independence, that means he's king of the whole world.

** Japan does not have nuclear weapons, [[World War Two|for obvious reasons]].

* [[Artistic License Nuclear Physics]]: The amount of things wrong with this sentence is... stunning.

** Nuclear bombs aren't carried in tankers (or tanks, for that matter.). Usually, there's a giant ballistic missile truck that's about fifty feet long and only has one nuke on it.

** A nuke wouldn't explode if a car hit it, it would just be destroyed and disarmed. They need a very specific firing mechanism to go off properly.

** What's Soichiro's car made of if this can happen?

** And lastly, you ''cannot'' [[Outrun the Fireball]] when a nuke goes off ''right next to you''. No, not even if you have a car going 300 kilometers per hour.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Night kills people by tattooing their names on her skin.

** Also the "father detector" used by Watari ''explodes'' when it gives back a result.

* [[Badass Grandpa]] - According to Dark, Watari is a "bad arse". And according to him, he's L's biological grandfather.

* [[Badass Mustache]] - Soichiro's [[Porn Stache]], which he "twisted like an evil guy".

*** Wouldn't that make it somewhere around [[Axis Powers Hetalia|five meters]]?

* [[Big No]]- L when Dark takes over the world, Watari after he loses his status as queen.

* [[Blood Magic]]: Dark uses Near's blood to make the Anti Life Note.

* [[Boarding School of Horrors]] - Whammy House seems to be this in the epilogues. Watari stuffs Dark and Night into a '''box''' labelled "BORING STUFF DO NOT X-RAY" to take them on a plane.

* [[Boobs of Steel]]: [[Love Interest|Samanther]] has "the biggest chests in the world," but held her own in a fight with Blud

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Dark has a gun that holds 100,000 bullets. On the one hand, it's not breaking any established limits, but on the other, it's far too many for a real gun to have.

** "MARSTER L IS WANKING WITH MY GOOD FELLOW LIGHT! OH DEAR GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

* [[Bullet Time]]: "She pulled the gun and a bullet went out. Everything went all matrixy"

** Naomi too.

* [[Camp Gay]]: Light.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "(Event will happen) or my name isn't (Name!)"

** [[Running Gag]]: L using said catchphrase.

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] - an endemic disease in the ''Light and Dark'' universe. Blud manages to quintuple-cross Dark, before Dark double-crosses him back.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Soichiro.

** And again in Chapter 25.

* [[Continuity Snarl]]: An impressive feat considering that this story is only 36 pages long and written by a single person. Nobody (including the author himself) has an idea of what's going on any more - and it just keeps on getting funnier.

** The ending just makes this infinitely worse.

* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: And it heals ''bullet wounds''.

* [[Creator Provincialism]]: The very first line places Light Yagami as an American.

* [[Death Is Cheap]]: People can be revived with the Life Note, or brought back with some other [[Ass Pull]].

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Ryuk, and Mikami.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]] - "''"Why yes dear boy" answered dark coshing him over the head with a cosh.''"

* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: Many times, like when Sayu comes out of the closet to blackmail Misa into having sex with her, or Chapter 16's title "Good night Night ITS A PUN."

* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]:

* [[Dramatic Ellipsis]]

* [[Dramatic Wind]]: Chapter 16, to almost ridiculous levels

* [[Dream Within a Dream]]: In the ''[[Hunger Games]]'' crossover, after getting stabbed and dying Near wakes up and realises it was [[All Just a Dream]]... then [[Or Was It a Dream?|finds the knife is still in him]]. Then Dark wakes up for real.

* [[Dual-Wielding]] - Watari with sniper rifles in Chapter 9.

** Night wields two swords in Chapter 16, and Dark wields three in a manner suspiciously simliar to [[One Piece|Zoro's three-sword style]].

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Dark's punishment for trying to ''destroy the world''? [[You Are Grounded|He gets grounded.]]

* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Darkus ''Taylor'' Yagami.

** Makes you wonder what Sayu's middle name is...

* [[Emphasize Everything]]: Most of the time, but especially when things are getting "epic" or "awsome".

* [[Enemy Mine]]: ''Everyone'' In this fic will abruptly work with former enemies to defeat new ones. Probably the best example is Dark and Night working to kill L for a few chapters, only for Dark to ally with L's ghost to kill Night, only for L's ghost to work with Night instead to kill Dark!

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: Dark, apparently (also in a [[Parental Incest|very literal way]])

* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Right before an incestous sevensome ([[Writers Cannot Do Math|with only six peoeple in it...]]).

* [[Everyone Is Bi]]

* [[Exotic Equipment]]: the extremely well-endowed Shinigami.

* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: L.

* [[Fake Defector]]: Soichiro helps get Dark home and impersonates Watari, but reveals he's actually loyal to L.

* [[False Camera Effects]]:

* [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale|Fanfic Writers Have No Sense Of Scale]]: If Blud is "like twice the size of Ryuk" he must have a hard time fitting himself into Light's bedroom.

* [[Fight Unscene]] - Much of the Dark vs. Blud fight in Chapter 13 is supposedly too fast for the audience to see.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Chapter 25. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]].

* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: Some cops in chapter 24; apparently, Dark's full name is "Darcus Taylor Yagami."

* [[Gender Flip]]: Hal Lidner is a male, while in the anime and manga, "he" is a she.

* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: D'arkYagam'i certainly seems to think so.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Light's mom.

* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: About three in this one sentence, along with a ton of [[Rouge Angles of Satin]].

* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Chapter 26's title. In the epilogue meanwhile, someone who seems to be an [[Alternative History]] L speaks like this:

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Apparently used with Dark, but it's said that he "[[Rouge Angles of Satin|jumps out of a kimbo with guns]]"

* [[Hammerspace]]: Night puts a Life Note into her [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|bra]].

* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: Dark is ''not'' gay. The author want to make this very clear:

''"Where did you get him he is very hansom!" dark said but only because he was a clone of him HES NOT GAY."'' }}

* [[Heel Realization]]: Night.

''"BRO! I NEVER FORT OF THAT!"'' }}

* [[High-Pressure Blood]]: What happens when Near [[Department of Redundancy Department|throws a knife back at a knife throwing guy]], dousing Dark's car with blood.

* [[IKEA Erotica]] - sex scenes are always avoided by telling us that the characters are 'sexing.' That's it.

* [[The Immodest Orgasm]] L gets a special mention.

"They sexed very hard and made so much [[Rouge Angles of Satin|nosse]] that a bunch of pigeons flew away all over the city and some dudes thought it was an earthquake but it wasn't because it was just some noisy sexing and Ls trailer was rocking real hard then it stopped cos they were done." }}

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Dark kills 1,000,000 stormtroopers with 100,000 bullets. That means every time he shoots, he kills on average ten people. Except he misses one... but then punches him so hard in face it kills 100 more.

** Near, using a Nerf gun, manages to shoot out the bullets of Dark's sniper rifle, as well as his scope, while Dark is shooting from atop the "Eyfal Tower".

* [[Improbably Cool Car]]: The watarimobile.

* [[Incest Is Relative]] - somewhere down the line, the author seems to have forgotten that Sayu is Dark's sister. And a [[Writers Cannot Do Math|sevensome]] with your sister, your brother, his girlfriend, his other girlfriend and your mum? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

** Oddly enough, 9 chapters later, Dark refuses to see Night naked because "it was his clon and thats like a sister and tthats gross."

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] - everytime Near is mentioned, something or someone is "near" him. The author feels the need to [[Don't Explain the Joke|point this out explicitly]].

* [[In Name Only]]: The "hokie cokie". [[Averted Trope|Except, technically because of the typo, it isn't even InNameOnly]]. Also, all the canon characters and elements.

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: This gem from the most recent chapter:

BECAUSE WE ARE SHINIGAMI AND THAT MEANS GOD OF DEATH AND GODS CAN DO ANYTHING SO THEY SHOULD MAKE EVERYTHING DEAD and he stuck the needle in a blood banana and sucked out the goopy blood inside. }}

** Dark's threat in Chapter 17.

* [[In the Blood]]: apparently, killing all "evil dudes" means that there cannot be any evil kids.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Soichiro steals another policeman's jacket and uses it to heat the precinct. [[Fridge Logic|But don't worry, he gets it back later!]]

* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: The author does this to constant [[Butt Monkey]] Near. After being killed countless times and suffering the hatred of every character in the story, Dark steals Near's Legos so the poor boy doesn't get any presents for Christmas! ;_;

** A [[Retcon]] in a later chapter reveals that Near used a Blind Note to stop Light seeing a naked woman and tricked Light into killing Taylor Swift. The author [[Lampshade Hanging|specifically states]] that he introduced these concepts to make Near deserving of this kicking. And calls us "doushy" for it.

* [[Killed Mid-Sentence|Killed One Syllable From The End Of The Sentence, Inexplicably Invalidating What You Just Said]]: Mikami, while identifying Light as Kira.

* [[Lego Genetics]]: The clone machine works like this.

* [[Lemony Narrator]]

* [[Let Them Die Happy]] - Blud.

* [[Line-of-Sight Name]] - Retconned to the be the origin of Soichiro's name. {{spoiler|You see, Samanther was eating soy sauce and Cheerios when Dark awoke from his coma...}}

* [[Love Triangle]]: [[Triang Relations|Type 5]]. Dark loves Naomi who [[Les Yay|loves Night]] who loves Mello.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: The author tries to invoke this with Dark, but the trope is averted due to the stories [[Mind Screw|confusing nature]] and Dark's complete and utter lack of subtlety in carrying out his plans. Despite having all the traits that a [[Magnificent Bastard]] would not have, though, Dark proclaims himself a "sutle" [[Magnificent Bastard]] and delivers a subsequent [[Take That]] towards [[TV Tropes]].

* [[Manly Tears]]: Du'Arq ("HE started crying with happy but then stopped and man cried instead which was more manly.")

* [[Meanwhile in The Past]]

* [[Medium Awareness]]

* Metaphorgotten: "HEY NEAR TRUTH OR DARE" mello roared lolling as blood explossomed out like a rainbow if all the colours except red were stolen by an evil leprechorn and instead of a pot of gold he had a pot of dead sparrows but they weren't dead they were zombies and they terrorised ireland."

* [[Mind Reading]]: Night Yagami, with her "Shinigami Ears".

* [[Oh, Cisco]] - "Better make it a foursome!" No, Light, just no.

* [[One of Us]] - The author is aware of this wiki and makes references to it, but then a lot of these references are [[Take That|derisive]]. When they are at all coherent, anyway.

* [[Outrun the Fireball]]: Dark and Near when faced with a nuclear explosion in France.

* [[Panty Shot]]: Yes, in a fanfic.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Night's attempt at crossdressing: a tattoo that says "Im ([[You Make Me Sic|sic]]) a guy". ''While naked''.

** Soichiro is posing as Watari in Chapter 1. That's fine. But he's with L at "Watari House" [[Temporal Paradox|at the exact same time he's in]] ''[[Eagleland Osmosis|America]]'' with the Yagami family.

* [[Poirot Speak]]: Some of the French people speak in a bizarre mixture of French and English ("TU WILL PAYEZ FOR THIS!"). Of course, the French is about as accurate as [[Rouge Angles of Satin|the English]].

* [["Previously On..."]] - Watari has a computer that synopsizes the story so far. Except it manages to get the plot completely wrong. That's right - even the author doesn't know what's going on. Which, granted, is [[Mind Screw|entirely understandable]].

* [[Punctuated Pounding]] - Dark punctuates his threats against Near with coshing. "''DO (cosh) YOU (cosh) WANT (cosh) TO (cosh) BE (cosh) [[Rouge Angles of Satin|NECKS]]?''"

* [[Reverse Mole]]: Blud

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: Most of the story, but several lines stand out.

** Let's not forget the 'angles signing' when lights mom came back to life.

** The quote in the beginning speaks for itself.

** Whenever the author says "vicarious" he means "[[Bi the Way|bicurious]]", like ''[[My Immortal]]'' and its Passively/Passionately.

* [[Rousing Speech]]:

* [[Rule of Cool]]: Referenced at least. "I KNOW NOAMI WAS NOT ENLGISH BUT IT MAKESS THE STORY COOLER THIS WAY!"

** You can't read a passage like this one and tell me this isn't the coolest thing ever:

*** This entire fic is basically fueled by this trope.

* [[Running Gag]]: The "Near" puns, as well as [[Or My Name Isn't|"...or my name isn't...!"]]

* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]] - "''The stuff that was going on was pretty grafic and I don’t want to make this fic M so all I’ll say is that it was sexy and Takada was using mop but was naked (you’ll have to figure out how for your self rofl!)''"

* [[Shaped Like Itself]] - the favourite snack of Dark's shinigami Blud: "blood bananas made of blood". Also, "The nuclear bom went off like a bom".

* [[Slash Fic]] - Initially it attacks slash - later, Watari finds L and Light in bed together.

* [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]] [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|Was A Kira]]

* [[Smoking Hot Sex]]: L in chapter 27 after having sex with Light.

* [[Sorry, I'm Gay]]: L, when Night tries to seduce him to find out his real name.

* [[Spit Take]]: With cake.

** And french fries.

* [[Stealth Parody]] - It has to be.

** If [http://i40.tinypic.com/9kqkoy.jpg this fandomsecret] is to be believed, it is. [http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/306262.html Link to FS post (#104).]

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] - See [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]] above

* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] - Night Yagami gets a tattoo and changes into a man to go out with L and get his Life Note.

** And one directed at ''[[Code Geass]]''.

** And yet another one at ''Twilight''.

* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]] - Dark's speech when controlling {{spoiler|the Queen}}, considering that it was completely prewritten in his Death Note.

* [[Technicolor Eyes]] - "''[[Extra Eyes|His seventy-nine eyes]] [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|all burned a diffrent shed of red]] except [[Eyes of Gold|one which was gold]] because it contained the tiny good part of his sole''"

* [[Textual Celebrity Resemblance]]: Samanther is described looking "just like the drummer chick from that scot pilgrim film" (Kim Pine), played by Alison Pill.

* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Many lines but this one really sticks out:

* [[Theme Naming]]: Light's siblings/clones/duplicates/whatever are called Dark, Night, Day, Dawn, Dusk, Shadow, and Twilight.

* [[There Is Only One Bed]] - "But only because there parents were to poor to get separate rooms [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|its not like their gay or anything!]]"

* [[They Killed Kenny Again]]: Poor Near.

* [[This Is Reality]] - [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] or [[Averted Trope|Averted]] or [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] or [[Double Subversion|Double Subverted]] or [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] or... something:

* [[Temporal Paradox|Time]] [[Rouge Angles of Satin|Parradoks]] - Invoked but improperly used. Blud tells Dark that he's going to write Matt's name in the Death Note so that he dies in a car crash in the past and prevent him from stealing the Death Note from Yotsuba. Blud uses this trope to explain why he is saying this now and not when he uses the Death Note in the near future.

* [[Time Police]] - Apparently nowhere to be found.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] - Blud and his blood bananas ([[Shaped Like Itself|made of blood]]).

* [[Unit Confusion]] - The author claims that "killmeters" are the same as miles in France.

* [[Unfortunate Names]] - Watari Bumblesnoot the Third.

* [[Unusual Chapter Numbers]]: Dark goes back in time in Chapter 35; every chapter number after this is three less than what it should be.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]] - "Getting happy" seems to refer fairly consistently to becoming aroused (for male characters) or having an orgasm (for female characters).

* [[Weird Moon]]

* [[Weird Science]]: The father detector.

** [[I Am Not Shazam|"Yotsuba"]] apparently revived Night Yagami by mistake, trying to revive his pet Might Yagami. It's not dumb that he screwed up the name (though that is bad); it's that he gave his own pet somebody else's last name.

* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: Dark claims that he and L used to be best friends until Dark shot Mello and Watari.

* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: To [[A Christmas Carol]]. It's [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] once.

** Including, of all things, a [[Shout-Out]] to [[The Muppet Christmas Carol]].

* [[Yandere]]: Potentially the "girl from the bus", who kills Dark after she's left out of the group hug.

* [[Yaoi Guys]]: Light and L.

* [[You Are Too Late]]: "I did it like 35 minutes ago" says Night when Dark announces he wants to steal L's Life Note.

* [[Your Mom]]

''Dark punched Blud cos he was the only guy aloud to make your mom jokes about Light’s mom.'' }}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have... Dark Black Rainbow Hair]]. Du'Arq's hairstyle as Shinigami king.
