the lack of undertaker/othello content in this cold dark world is a tragedy and personal attack methinks

not that this is a particularly profound take but imo i think the dadbastian trope IS pretty applicable in canon if you just like. Look at it from a slightly skewed angle.
it's not that i'm coming at this in a "sebastian is gradually changing for the better and learning to empathize with and/or regard o!ciel as someone he genuinely cares for" way because, as much as that narrative is fun and angsty and Just So Happens to make sebastian a little easier to relate to, it clashes with how calculated he canonically is.
that being said! he absolutely is changing. his character arc revolves around a realization that the tactics he's comfortable using aren't good enough, and this goes wayyy beyond undertaker being two steps ahead of his "punch first, ask questions later" instinct. everything sebastian does is catalyzed by a belief that, no matter how treacherous the situation becomes, he'll be able to figure it out with little to no effort given his superiority as a supernatural entity.

Wammy's orphanage (house)
Wow, it’s been weeks since I last came onto Tumblr to really share an analysis/theory or sometimes the occasional Bound Prince rant. But I am back, and I am back with my thoughts about how Wammys house operates, the environment, and how the building worked.
I’ll be using canonical material such as the manga/anime, while also supporting it using the semi-cannon of the LABB novel and the L change the worLd novel. Note that I will be using LABB more than L change the worLd as LABB has been recognised by the creator of Death Note (Ohba) as some sort of cannon. I’ll also use sources away from the Death Note manga/novels/anime like interviews and articles about Orphanages in the UK.
Do I think that Ohba thought much about the orphanage? No, this is all headcanon based on canonical information from the Death Note series.
///////////////////////////////////////////////
When discussing Wammys house we first need to know the system for the children and how many children it can hold. We can use Mellos words from the LABB novel, and some outside sources to figure out how many children an orphanage the size of Wammys can hold.
Wammys house is a larger orphanage, with extremely good funding, and a credibility behind it all. Most likely recognised by the government. Due to its size and funding we can figure out the maximum number of children the main orphanage that produced the successors for L can hold. We also need to remember legally there has to be children going in and out of Wammys. (Also for money reasons and capacity reasons.)
From the size of the building that we know has multiple floors and a large area we can determine from first glance that it can hold more than 25 children. From my research that due to the size of the orphanage in question it would probably hold around 150 children in it.
By how the anime shows the amount of children plus the snippets of the manga that shows Wammys plenty of children live there, and have some contact with L in a sense. Like in the short stories we see L talking with the children through a computer screen.
Like any typical orphanage I can see children coming in and out of the orphanages. That holds the question why the children in the successor program don’t get adopted, quick answer; Wammys probably didn’t list them as adoptable. Or Near, and Mello were refusing any adoption. It wouldn’t benefit Wammys at all to not re-house orphans, Wateri likes to make detectives so keeping children around when they could go to actual houses wouldn’t be logical. It would just fill up the orphanage, and cost them money.
Now for the successor program I think it pretty much is “hm this one”. Near and Mello got picked due to a look in their eyes and them analysing L. So I doubt that L really hyperfixates on them. He most likely picks them like he did with Near or Mello or sees the files of children that he is told to look at that could be “successors”.
By Mellos description Near and him have the “L code” while the others in the past generations didn’t. (1 - 3) We had zero knowledge of the second and third generation but we do know barely anything of the first generation.
Beyond Birthday and A are the only confirmed successors from that generation. Beyond Birthday after lighting himself on fire landed himself in prison and most likely had a naturally occurring heart attack, A committed suicide. There is no cannon name for A and Beyond Birthday and there will never be.
The first generation was most likely stressful, they were meant to fail and most likely be a test for the actual potential successors in the future. Second and Third generation would most likely be less stressful for the successors. The fourth generation would most likely be the least stressful on the successors
That’s my deductions. They most likely had shared rooms and multiple floors of bedrooms. They also probably had open rooms for activities, a cafeteria, nurses office, and of course Rodger’s office. Multiple bathrooms around the area obviously. They probably also had a large outside area with multiple play areas.
Great thorough post! Canon, implied canon or just a logical conclusion to draw from what little we do see in canon (i.e. that the children who are identified as potential L candidates aren't considered for adoption, I think that just makes sense). Having re-read LABB a few days ago I also noticed Mello mentioned that kids from all over the world are brought to Wammy's. Even though Watari has orphanages scattered throughout the world, it seems a number of them are specifically brought to Winchester, England and not all of the orphans there are necessarily English. The physical layout of the place... it's something everyone who's written for this setting has had to think about. We never see anything about their sleeping arrangements. They probably have single-sex dormitory areas, but this is kind of annoying to write around for fanfic/doujin so I see most people interpret Wammy's as having shared or individual rooms... though I think that is the less likely option.
Also if you haven't read it already have a look at the translations for L File: 15 "Watari's Diary". Summary of interesting points from it:
- Was formally established in 1973.
- Focuses on children aged 9 - 13 (no lower or upper limits mentioned though), children are monitored for signs of particular areas of interest/aptitude and then nurtured accordingly. Reiterates what Mello said in LABB that they're brought in from around the world.
- There's been at least one person other than Mello (K) who left Wammy's.
Ahh TYSM, but this was mainly headcannons 💜

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

it is absolutely true that every character in death note is in a completely different piece of media from every other character. light thinks he's in law and order. L is in columbo, as columbo. misa is in a sabrina carpenter song and rem is in a chappell roan song. to ryuk this is all the three stooges. soichiro is in taken and matsuda is in brooklyn 99 and aizawa is in disco elysium. this is mikami's silence of the lambs and you're living in it. mello will either make this whole situation into twilight or die trying, and near? well. near is in death note.
