anyway i like never really know how to talk about this because i don't want to come off like i think i'm better than anyone else. i'm very much prone to my own bits of bitchiness and i'm sure i've said things on here that are contradictory, not fair, not thoughtful or not kind, but i really wish, broadly speaking, that we could talk about creative pursuits in a slightly gentler way. i think the constant flux of "he would not fucking say that" posts and condescending diatribes about the Right way to write something [a character, a type of story, etc] are so incredibly discouraging to new writers. you don't want to be someone's "he would not fucking say that," so you sit around and feel ashamed and scared to share your writing, afraid of ridicule. it sucks. i don't like it.

Near Past Headcanons
So I recently got back in death note. A blessing for middle school me lmao.
Note that these headcanons were influenced by what was give in the Death Note live action movie series, mainly L change the world.
- Nate “Near” River was born into a rich family. This kinda already was my conclusion before finding the live action series, with how he dresses and how bratty he comes off as lol
- Near with born with a form of albinism, so his skin can be very sensitive to the sun, which was why he was often dressed in long sleeves
- Though still a strange kid, Near was a sweet child. Always helpful, shy but kind. His mother called him a little lamb. Everyone thought he was adorable
- He had an older sister. He was attached to her hip, and despite to the annoyance of some others, she’d let him join her for any activity. She’s the reason why he has a fondness for puzzles
- The River family was well beloved by those that knew him. However, with every wealthy family, there’s always someone out to get them…
- A trader with the family got greedy and poisoned the manor with a virus to try to get ride of his “competition”
- Everyone was dead in a matter of weeks. All expect for Near, traumatized and hiding in his room. To this day, no one really knows why the virus didn’t kill him. However, it’s theorized that his rare condition caused some type of immunity to the deadly infection
- Crushed with grief and survivors gulit, Near closed himself off to the word. The sweet little boy disappearing and the Near we know today beginning to emerge
- Because of what happened, Near with get rather frantic when someone is sick. Either doing everything he can to avoid them or making excuses to be helpful to check if they are okay
- His sisters influence causes him to be more tolerant of the younger children at the orphanage and lets them play with his toys if they want to
Andddd that’s it! Hope you found them interesting!
