Between a fem Near and Fem mello who would be more popular?

Hmm idk if you meant in fandom or in canon but-!

I think fandom-wise a fem!Mello would probably be more popular, especially with a more western audience. People tend to like hot, fiery bombshell blondes (most) of the time + i think a fem!mello would have the sensual appeal that misa does. It would definitely be appealing to see more of a tough girl- especially because the other female characters are only really there to be used as pawns in light's game (aside from lidner and naomi- who did end up being tricked by him but damn if she didnt give him a time of it), and i think people would like the "take no shit" attitude. ... but it depends tho bc fandom is largely populated by a very particular annoying type of ("dudebro") fan, the type that hates female characters that are TOO loud or aggressive, the way Mello is. I find that a lot of male fans like Mello for his agression and more (stereotypically) masculine attitude (though mello is VERY queer with his croptops and leather and long hair), as well as being somewhat of an underdog- i have a feeling the same fans are the ones who'd despise the very same traits in a female counterpart.

Near would be split into three receptions. 1) hated even more feverishly- near was NOT generally liked by the fandom back then- i didnt get into DN until about... 2015-ish? But even then you could tell from the fics and fan reception more from the time that people did NOT like Near at all, and it was rare to find someone that did. I largely suspect this is because he's just very misunderstood- like being seen as emotionless/uncaring when he's just guarded, seen as cocky when hes just confident, seen as 'getting lucky' rather than credit being given to his intelligence. This would be a LOT worse if he was a girl- just look at Misa. Whilst yes, the series does unfortunately downplay her intelligence a lot and turns her into pretty much comedic relief for most of the last third, there are times you can see just how smart and calculating she can be also- that are frequently ignored because shes. Well. A girl. Same would go for fem!near- absolutely everything would be an asspull, people would hate her for being "the worse, girl version of L", and people would respond more negatively because if they already hated near for beating light to begin with, theyd hate even more for a GIRL to do it. 2) the people who'd like fem!near for the appeal of a cute female character- some fans just like cute anime girls and... tbh valid. Some people like characters less when theyre girls, some like them more! I do think early receptions to near might have been more positive if there was that moe factor (and yes near is moe as a boy too but yknow what i mean). She'd definitely be a cute waifu to a lot of people. 3) the people who like near pretty much the same, just that near is a girl now. Id definitely have found a fem!near interesting- the underdog aspect would have been even moreso, and id have loved to not only see light get his ass handed to him by a girl, but a female character who actually got the writing they deserved? Yes please!

I think both characters would be more well recieved now, the way their male counterparts are- especially near, who's much more well liked by this generation of fans than the previous one. I think people would pay them more attention, bc holy shit strong female characters who are morally grey (mello) and very neurodivergent-leaning (near but tbh mello too).

Now IN CANON i think things would be v interesting

Near might have a slightly more difficult time with her team and presenting a case- not the SPK, i genuinely dont think they'd have a problem being lead by a female lead, but i think near would definitely have a lot more problems (from external sources) in general when it came to being in an authoritative role, and would definitely see a lot more pushback when it came to decisions. So she'd let NO ONE outside the team think she was female- as far as everyone would be aware, 'N' would be a man, and the voice filters would reflect that, maybe even purposefully pitched down a little. Of course, Near is canonically voiced by a female VA anyway, so its not like her voice would change, just that she'd be more conscious of it. She'd also be aware that she could use that to her advantage, knowing Kira wouldn't be looking for a woman. This would continue when she succeeded L. As far as everyone would be aware, L would be a man- and this would benefit her greatly on field missions (if there ever were anyway), with people (if ever suspicious) assuming she'd be L's secretary at most.

Mello would definitely definitely use his- or, rather, her looks to her advantage. I think it would be a lot harder for her to climb the rungs of the mafia though, and she'd probably have to work a lot harder and rely a bit more on charming her way up than earning respect the way a man would. Still posing a threat, dont get me wrong, but she wouldn't be stupid to think that she'd ever earn the same level of respect as a man would (i mean its the mafia lets be real here idk much about the criminal underworld but i think its fair to say it's male-dominated and probably quite misogynistic). That probably makes it easier for her to gather intel on potential traitors and targets, though. But mello was never the head so much as a right hand man (at least to my knowledge feel free to correct me if im wrong), so that's probably a more palatable position to the other mafia members than if she had her eyes on the top.

#kinda long oop #but yeah i tried not to be too cynical about it but #+ im also fond of female charas using their gender to their advantages #wish we got to see misa doing it more tho she did know how to come across as harmless and innocent #also make no mistake fem mello can still kick major ass + has a temper she just knows its easier to manipulate men when need be #fem!near #fem!mello #genderswap #genderbend #au #death note #near dn #mello dn #ask

Would a fem Mello be more masculine?

Hmm... It depends on what you mean by masculine.

I feel that she would mostly be the same. After all, the way Mello proved himself to the mafia in canon would likely still impress them even if he was a girl.

I don’t think the mafia that Mello’s in has a very positive view of women, seeing them as more of ‘trophies’ rather than people, and I don’t think Mello being a girl would change that. They’d simply see her as an exception to ‘the rule’.

How would a fem mello and Near be?

Hmm...an interesting question!

I don't think their behavior/personality would change very much if their gender was swapped but other people's perception of them would definitely change a little.

I think fem!Mello's outbursts (however few they may be) would make her look kinda like a stereotypical emotional woman? And her rigging her base would be seen as needlessly paranoid since she's a woman and women's fears are usually not taken seriously. Her love for chocolate wouldn't be doing any favors to the sexist stereotypes others would have against her. Also fem!Mello's actions would be kinda less bold than male!Mello perhaps?

Fem!Mello may also have a bodyguard from the mafia for her protection. She would be respected for securing a spot in the mafia circle of hers despite being a woman. She'd had to have tried harder to prove herself to them than male!Mello did because DN characters are sexist like that. Oh! And fem!Mello would seem a bit like a gothic tomboy who's brave and a little out there.

Fem!Near would be kinda like Meteora Österreich my favorite character from the anime Re: Creators (this anime is sorta obscure but it's on Prime Video so...):

Anyways they're both intelligent and stoic characters (they even have the same hair color!) who speak in a monotone voice. Fem!Near would have long hair (like Near did in the oneshot) which she'd really like to twirl. She would maybe think that fashion is pretty stupid & go like #comfy clothes forever actually haha.

random mello hcs w/ fem! reader

hi guys, sorry i haven’t rlly posted in a minute, i’ve js been busy lately

but i hope you enjoy ^^

warnings: smut, spicy hcs here and there, praise, degradation if you squint

nsfw content under the cut

• you guys met by you joining the mafia or just becoming involved in the kira case

• you two stay in the same apartment, just to make work easier

• it takes so long for this man to see you as a friend, let alone a partner

• for a while, he kinda just sees you as a coworker/roommate of sorts, but that doesn’t mean he hates you

• before you guys started dating, you’d bring him chocolate sometimes with little notes that would tell him not to overwork, have a nice day, etc etc

• he would mumble a quiet thank you for those things whenever he saw you again, but all in all he doesn’t rlly know how to show gratitude for anything

• asking him out was really blunt

• you guys were working and it kinda js slipped out

“could i be your girlfriend?”

“..what?”

• he’s definitely confused bc he doesn’t know what makes him attractive to her bc look at her she’s so gorgeous but he does accept

• he’s never been in a real relationship before, having been at the orphanage for most of his childhood and secluded as an adult, but he does his best and it shows :D

• small but sweet little things he does, like buying you something he sees you looking at in a store, or js getting you your fav candy or sweet along with his chocolate

• no little notes like you did, but it was still sweet

• relationship may be a bit toxic bc he is very insecure, and is smth of a workaholic

• but it works really well if you guys communicate and talk things out, and for the most part he’s a distant but kind boyfriend

• loves to kiss the bridge of your nose

• idk it just feels right

• he’s a top 99.9% of the time

• on the occasion where you wanna top, he’ll never be against it, but prefers towering over you and getting to see your face better

• go to position is missionary, but if you wanna try smth different, he will always be open to it

• bites you during sex, soft most of the time but rough on occasion

• wherever he is for the longest i can guarantee you’ll have a mark there later

• brat tamer

• brat tamer

• brat tamer

• will make you beg for what feels like forever just for him to touch you if you’re being bratty

• will call you things like slut, whore, etc

• but if you’re usually submissive in bed, he’d love that just as much, murmuring praises into your ears as he does literally anything

“good girl, taking me so well..”

“can you hold on a little longer for me, doll?”

• just ask nicely for him to let you come and he’ll kiss your neck and speed up a bit to get you where you wanna be :3

• i’ve seen people paint him as this constant tease and rough orgasm denier during sex

• but tbh i feel like unless you’re being bratty he’ll take his time and be exceptionally gentle

• still a tease ofc but not like incredibly rough

• his voice during sex >

• he could say the most out of pocket thing and it would still sound hot

• isn’t incredibly educated on aftercare, but he does his best

• like first time you guys ever did it, he probs helped cleaned you up and gave you some kisses and then js went back to work

• but if you ask him if he can stay longer, he’ll oblige with no hesitation, holding you close as you rest

• he will give you everything you want within reason as long as you just communicate it to him

• loves loves loves hickies

• giving them, receiving them, he doesn’t care

• first time you gave him one he was asking almost begging you to give him more

• wears them out in public w pride

• marks you up if you’re going somewhere w a lot of people, not in an insecure way, but js so ppl know not to bother you :3

• POSSESSIVE

• lets you brush and play w his hair a lot

• if you enjoy having your hair played with he is the man for the job

• pulls your hair as you take him in your mouth, breathing heavy as you suck him off like a pro WHAT WHO SAID THAT

• not super vocal during sex, surprisingly enough

• the first time you were slightly worried you were doing something wrong until you heard him let out a faint moan

• he makes light noises tho, like you can hear his breath hitch and soft sighs and groans out of his mouth

• doesn’t whimper, but he loves it if you do

• might be embarrassed if he makes a louder noise by accident but it just makes you go faster which he appreciates

• his lack of volume is another one of his reasons he likes praising you, just so you know you’re doing everything right

“good, good.. just like that, keep going..”

• he would like fruity drinks like the starbucks refreshers, i will die on this hill

• isn’t clingy but enjoys being physically close to you

• like sitting beside you, sleeping in the same bed even if you aren’t cuddling, that type of thing

• i can imagine he’d be up for cuddling but you’d have to ask fs

• motorcycle rides

• motorcycle sex

• likes those tozo coffee candies

• lets you paint his nails, if it goes w what he’s wearing

• small physical things

• ruffling your hair, playfully poking you in the head, cupping your face as he kisses you

• listens to the cure, deftones, smashing pumpkins, and the smiths. idk he just seems like he would

• music might help him focus better

Today I, too, inevitably succumbed to @neallo's writing, as it's their usual way of igniting a certain passion within artists who might or might not be suppressing the urge to step over the line they're narrowly missing with each drawing..

So anyway. Fanart for/inspired by this sapphic Meronia fic that hit me just right one merry morning. Their writing is pretty fucking solid and I do appreciate the surprisingly rare to see grasp they have on these two. It is so beautiful to see Mello and especially Near be characterized this carefully, and in smut at that♥️

Fem mello would be a 'not-like-other-girls'

I think this ask is funny because it's right

However it's right because I think canon Mello could also "not-like-the-other-guys" (or even humans or peers if you will)

Gender irrelevant, Fem Mello, like every other Mello has this sort of complex to me

What do you think of a female mello or light?

i LOVE THEM…. especially fem!light in an au where everythings the same except for lights gender, so misa would still be really into light afdsfhdshgf. also headcanon that fem!light would be a lesbian in complete denial. and honestly fem!mello is just iconic yk uwu

I feel as though a fem mello would be more ruthles and cruel, as well as cautious considering her line of work? What do you think?

I've often thought fem!Mello would be maybe more self-preserving as well, likely to carry a weapon at all times and maybe dress and act a little less provocatively as an adult too

#i like the idea of her a lot actually #i think i'd like fem!mello a lot and sometimes wish ohba had made one of the geniuses female #ask #anon #genderbend #mello #p

if you Ever see me post a fic where Mello is normal about Near please know i have been kidnapped and replaced with a double. and that it's your duty to rescue and / or avenge me.

#only a joke bc my first fic on ao3 for them has a startlingly normal and chill fem!mello #however if it's like more than 2k words and he doesn't act like a freak at least once. that's not me besties.

Disclaimer: Long post

Basing it on your answer, it is okay that I express to you what I think a fem Mello and Near would turn out like? ( my apologies, if i'm wrong)

A female mello might've put on a mask of intimidating calmness and 'niceness', to appear less angry and hostile when she is young and hadn't joined Wammys house, will cover up her mistakes and mischief camouflage, because Catholic girls might not be given the boys will be boys treatment (and she might be punished more for acting like Canon mello did when he was angry, her anger will be received as hostility, and thus will be condemned, so she will internalize her anger and keep it all inside, like the magma of a volcano about to erupt, those around her at that time found her scary and intimidating, despite her trying to cover it up will facade of coldness. )

With such an amount unexpressed anger she will cope by doing lots of physical activities(also ones considered male because they calm her down when she is about to erupt) and playing around, would still be a mischievous little she that pranks around, people will often mistake her as a girly or pretty boy, or a boy in touch with his femininity(or feminine side, due to the ).

When she gets to wammys, people mistake her for a really cute boy, other boys might try to bully her for looking 'gay'(2000s weren't that progressive, but she fights them real dirty, and they end up at the infirmary, Roger punishes her for such a misdeed, too), they realise she isn't a boy when Matt comes in, she mistakes her for a pretty boy as well (and Mello is kind of sick of it, and thus expresses her annoyance at Matt's assumptions, gossipy informant Linda is there to see that, and spreads the news), but Matt might still feel something even though, it was revealed Mels wasn't a girl, when she snaps at one of the wammy's girls for acting 'weird'(she was courting her) she doesn't repress her anger as much and openly expresses it in a calculative, yet bombastic way, she is a bit of a chaotic ice queen, the children fear yet admire her (and some girls and boys have some special feelings toward her ).

She is still smart, strategic, energetic, and sadistic, she cares about cool, dark style and clothes, like a lot, she wants to look cool and a bit glamorous, Matt her and might bond on that, though, I think that Matt's style will be malleable, she might wear what she thinks will make her blend in as she doesn't want to bring any attention to herself or make herself be noticed for she doesn't want people to give her more L-related work then she has to do, she also does a lot of chores and puts on a mask of a helpful, and normal girl (so she can go unnoticed), Mello had observed it. Her mother had scolded, repremanded, and admonished her for being and caring such 'shallowness' , instead of putting that energy into being a good, God-fearing daughter and girl. Female mello will find Mary comforting and will often pray to her because Mary is a part of mello that she has never been able to express, and that her mother never provided much for she was busy lecturing and chastising her.

What do you think? Should I do a fem near next?

Wow wow wow!

You've clearly put SO much thought into this! There are so many lovely details to pick out here and I am just soaking it in!

PLEASE give me your fem Near interpretation~!

Oh? Are we talking about age mix-ups? My turn! I'm transmasc so I'm very VERY used to being mistaken for being younger that I am, but recently its been the opposite. I've had 8-9 people mistake me for being 22-24 (including the owner of a bar).

I'm 19.
