I truly believe that when Light became Kira, he became his best authentic self. Not for anyone else, of course, but for he who had been in a straight jacket of conformity his whole life— it must have been relieving.

“Oh my god no, I’m not a perfect person anymore! Wait. Actually, I’m always perfect, no matter what! I can be a killer god and I’m still better than anyone else! Wow. This is great. I love being myself.” Real self love everyone.

Even if he had to hide it from everyone except Ryuk, Light was objectively happier than at the beginning of the series. That’s why I don’t like Yotsuba!Light more than Kira!Light actually, like he’s just an incomplete, less depraved version of who Light really is. An egomaniacal serial killer that likes being an asshole. He’s back fitting himself into a box and I hate that for him.

Even L liked Y!Light less. Humming and hawwing in a depression for weeks because this wasn’t the little neurotic sicko he had been hunting down. Where had his TRUE boyfriend gone?

I stand by Light’s rights and his wrongs. He’s much more fun and interesting with both.

Same for L! Morally grey, Kira obsessed detective or NOTHING! None of this “oooo lite no kiwwing is bad 🥺” BARF. He wanted to bark at and chase Kira around a yard for enrichment.
