Meme: Top Fives

[ficwize]

I stole this! But, you knew that didn't you?

Anyway, memewards!

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in comments. It can be real life stuff (Top Five People I'd Like To Dine With, Top Five Musical Pieces Ever Written, etc.) or fandom (Top Five OTPs, Top Five Things Anita's Going To Hit Harry with once/if they get out of Hogwarts, etc.)

Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me.

How's that sound? *grins*

Top Five Alternate Careers For Light Yagami Had He Let Sleeping Death Notes Lie.

Top Five Alternate Careers For Light Yagami Had He Let Sleeping Death Notes Lie.

I think he would have:

1. Become a lawyer. It was what he wanted to do before he found the Death Note. I think he would have been excellent, but like Mikami, I think he would eventually have suffered from real burn out.
2. Become a police officer like his father. I believe he would have been an excellent detective, but he would have lacked the sympathy that Yagami-san possessed. Like a career as a lawyer, I think Light would have burned out early.
3. Become an actor. The boy has mad skills. He fooled everyone and it would have kept him from being so miserable. I think he would have realized this secret calling during careers 1 or 2 above and done this as a second career.
4. Become an airline pilot. Think about it - he already dresses like an airline pilot and he is all about the anal retentive control of everything around him.
5. Become a politician. This suggestion is based on identical reasoning as number 4. Plus, Light likes being in charge and he would have gotten off on the power of it.

1. Given the way the legal system works in Japan, Light Yagami as a prosecutor would be a force to be reckoned with, and probably cause Japan to shroud its legal system from Amnesty International with an even more efficient efficiency than they do now.

2. Light Yagami, P.I. Le awesome!

3. L might have brought this out in him. He probably wouldn't have thought it up himself. Or maybe some kind of slapstick day involving Misa.

4. I remember the very end of Tom Clancy's first foray into blatant racism small-arc continuity, the end of Debt of Honor, in which a JAL pilot, in a fit of grudgewank at the end of the U.S./Japan trade war (a WTF plot if ever there was one) decides to avenge a relative by dropping his plane on the Capitol, while the entire U.S. government is inside for an event. Published around 1999, as I recall.

5. One wonders if he might have been incorruptible or that really special kind of Daley Machine/Tammany Hall type. He could go either way on this.
