Death Note... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

[telophase]

Ah, Ohba, you and your wacky naming practices have come through yet again!

keelieinblack informs us that kurosaki_akane has the How to Read 13 (one of a series of articles on DN), which has L's true name. (the camshot she links to seems to be going up and down, but I copied it here. XD)

L. Lawliet

(pronounced "Eru Rooraito", she says)


Man, Ohba, you are on the good crack.

ETA: Link to Matt's real name in the comments. Classic Ohba.

On one hand, I keep telling myself that it's sort of less ridiculous than some of the other names Ohba has come up with.

On the other hand...*giggle*

(Matt's name (http://kurosaki-akane.livejournal.com/86758.html#cutid1), however, is classic Ohba. Wow.)

Now that is beautiful.

And what's with Mello only hating those who are better than him? We all know Mello hates you, for whatever value of "you" is necessary!!

Someone over on fandom_lounge asked if this meant we can now call L "LAWL" as in LOL.

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's, uhh...yeah. Ohba never ceases to amaze.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Did you check the link to Matt's name in keelieinblack's comment? XD

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

I did! I found it equally as...impressive.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Really. No wonder he goes by "Matt." (and, strangely, not "Matte" or any other Ohba-type spelling.)

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not quite sure how that name slipped through the cracks...

[tokyoghoststory.livejournal.com]

ahhhhh ahhahaha. thats amazing. i do wanna call him LAWL now. ;o;. thats so mean of me.

i just saw the anime today, hrn. i haven't decided if i like it. -_-;

[obviouslyanon.livejournal.com]

Wow, Matt is Male Jesus? Bwahaha!

note to self!

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

... and i suddenly need a new deathnote icon!

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Oh hell.....Oh hell, oh hell, I think I need to make an L icon with LAWL on it.... But this all really does support the theory of dropping the cat on the keyboard, doesn't it?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Or typing by banging one's head on the keyboard. XD

[pzb.livejournal.com]

LAWL....sorry...had to.

Hey, who said it so I can properly credit, since I couldn't find it at a lazy ass glance.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

gorogoro, who is the same name here on LJ, and over on Journalfen, where it was spoken (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_lounge/368070.html). XD

[pzb.livejournal.com]

Credited! XD Thankees.

[fourthage.livejournal.com]

I would say that's cheating, since we still don't know L's first name, but given Ohba's track record that may be a good thing.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I was sort of assuming, despite the period after the L, that "L" actually was his first name, going by Ohba's track record. XD

[fourthage.livejournal.com]

It's a bit of a disappointment. L isn't a pseudonym? Oh, Ohba, you have let us and our dreams of a horrifically hilarious name down.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I've really got to work out a good slogan for an icon. "My fandom can't name anyone worth shit" doesn't quite have the feel I'm going for and "My fandom names people by banging their head on the keyboard" isn't anywhere near snappy enough. XD

I see an animated icon with each person and their name ... Light, Mihael, Raye Penber, Quillsh Wammy, Mail Jeevas, L. Lawliet, etc. XD

[fourthage.livejournal.com]

My fandom names its characters while drunk?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Could work, could work ...
