okay death note girlies (gn) time to start discourse

propaganda/explanations under the cut:

Yes, his gun was fully fucking loaded and he was gay about it: well what seasoned mafia boss(?) carries an empty gun? and he wanted to kill Near obviously even though it would mess up his entire game-plan for winning his rival-estranged lover over by besting him in the game of toxic yaoi. clearly. it's foreplay for detectives i think.

No, his gun was empty: hot because he just went up there with a prop for no reason under the sun other than to intimidate his rival-estranged lover. it didn't work. because Near is also a dramatic bitch. understanders understand.

Yes it was loaded but you're no fun: Mello is for some reason not in love with the object of his hormone-rage-fuelled fixation for the last and basically first idk 15 years of his life so he has every reason to murder him. do you hear yourself??

#death note #mihael keehl #nate river #meronia #mellonear #nearmello #bonus points if you tell me your reasoning in the tags/notes #why am i making this poll? #uh yeah i made this up for my toxic yaoi fic and i didn't realize other people would take to it because well i don't even believe myself #also i wanna start 2003 [redacted] yaoi discourse instead studying for my GI final

in a world where a 4 year age gap between adults has to be defended as not problematic making age gaps between characters even larger than they are in canon is praxis

if i ever start saying shit like "the nearmello stevebucky parallels......." you need to check on me immediately. i think there's something there but if i ever discover it i might blow up

Nearmello?

LMOAOOO I love the enthusiasm. I'm just gonna answer these all in one go.

Nearmello

This is my otp for both of them! I'm not a diehard successor fan but I do go in for meronia now and again. Many of my beloved mutuals are great fic writers & artists for them (specifically @neallo and @brothercrush)!

Lightnear

I don't rock HUGELY with this one bc I just don't really see it, but much like matsulight I like to see it when they're toxic as fuck and doing insane mind games to each other.

Lightmello

This one I simply do not care about all that much but I think they would be cute together aesthetically speaking, as I'm sure many people do. I'd love to see Mello inflicting his L-worship on Light and taking out his anger and grief over his death on that bitch.

#ty!!

[paradisepoisoned]

randomly coming across your nearmello headcanons post threw me for an insane loop because the bestie & i also headcanon mello as being a croatian survivor of the yugoslav wars, we've written a ton of backstory that may one day see the light of day and everything. given his name & birthdate it makes sense that someone else would make the connection but it was SUCH a :0 ???!? moment omg. literally your mind

YOoooooo!!!!! I know it's been months already but I just stumbled upon this ask and it got me so freaking excited lollll. I thought I was alone in my crazy head with my headcanons. I would love to hear your thoughts if you ever wanna shoot me a message cause I'm here for it lmao also your artwork is fucking god tier I love your style🖤🖤🖤🫣

[vivi-scera]

hey what's up! i wanted to drop in and say ur mellonear fanfic was AMAZING. easily one of the best works in the tag 💕. please please tell me ur going to write more for them. i just can't get over the amount of detail you put into it... if u don't mind talking about it... i just want to know how ur mind works pretty please 🤲

who— can you guys pls come off anon i'm begging and crying!!!

anyway THANKS SO MUCH. here i was bitching and moaning to my friends that that piece didn't turn out as well as i would've liked. can think of 2 or 3 fics off the top of my head that i love way more. but i'm so glad you liked it <333

and sad to say i am, in fact, not writing more for them <\3 i feel like i've said everything i can say about them? i mean they have like 10 lines total together how much more could i possibly extrapolate sdkjflhsf. i'm not a huge au writer tbh i pretty much only like working within canon. but you'll be happy to know i do plan on writing another death note fic (an au one though, surprisingly). just not for meronia. not telling which pairing but. near is in it trust. obvi it'll have meronia subtext.

and thank you thank you for the compliment about the details even though >.< i thought i didn't put in nearly enough. literally read that semi-canon side story in its entirety and only put in 2 things from it. and one of the things i straight up plagiarized <3 but we're gonna say i just referenced it.

i think i mostly just wanted to focus on how like childish yet mysterious they were. imagine you're kira, a functional god, and these 2 kids are running around without your knowledge trying to thwart you. you don't know what they look like, what they know about you, what they are to each other, what their names are, etc. etc. (they also represent the two halves of your would-be lover but we're not gonna go there). at the end of the day, they don't even care that much about YOU, a god (because they already had their own and well. you killed him)!! i guess i wanted to further emphasize that the stakes (for catching/stopping kira), for near & mello, weren't that high. at least,, not as high as beating each other (SO romantic). it was as if it were, as i referenced, just a game to them!! but a game sort of rigged against them, favoring the wammy industrial complex ofc. (the house always wins wink wink). but also,, it's all very tragic in the sense that they really have no other way to look at things. just child soldier things yknow.

idk there was some insane untapped story-telling potential there in the canon. the set-up sort of gave near & mello their own godhood statuses and stripped kira of his own. if i were to rewrite part 2 of death note i'd either keep it all strictly in light's pov or keep it all strictly in theirs. it did a disservice to the story/characters, imo, by attempting to keep the same dynamic/pov going from part 1. i'm not gonna lie and say the 2nd part was as good as the 1st sorryyy. because they were somewhat misutilized i never even considered the (incestuous) implications until someone ;) started posting about them ofc. then i thought about how much their dynamic reflected my personal favorite pairing of all time (knowers know) so i kind of took some preconceived notions and applied them. actually i was originally writing fic for afore-not-mentioned pairing and i'm pretty sure i just used lines from that to get started lmao.

anyway that's all i got atm. if i think of more i wanna talk about i'll write more <3 thx again for the ask!! feel free to ask more ofc ;3

#meronia #nearmello #based on allat i bet you can guess which pairing it is. and no it's not lawlight 🙄 sdkjflshf. don't get me wrong i like it! but what hasn't #been said about them? also not sure i could make their dynamic incestuous that's kind of my thing here. i'm good but not that good LMAO #oh also another thing about the title. i wanted to do a play on “playing house” and incest. there was a line in there #dunno if it worked tho #“they have like 10 lines total together how much more could i say” sdkjf as if i'm not waxing poetic about k*rokura every second of the day #they met ONCE back in 2001 and had even fewer lines together #also if we are going to be so fr rn one of the actual big reasons i didn't ship them before was because i thought near was 12 💀 #was SO shocked when i saw alex's art for the first time i was like. wow they are so bold for that #i sort of started shipping it before i even looked up their ages skdjfsf but legally no i didn't 😐 #vivi.asks

A Careful Blend

Did you know that the last time I posted a DN one-shot to my ff account was in 2012? Because I didn’t!

I figure it’s about time I change that! Let me explain...

The 18th of this month was my beta, Mar’s birthday. Half of my gift to him was giving him the ability to request a fic for me to write for him, whatever he wanted. (With just a few exceptions.) What he chose was for me to write something simple, and something sweet. Primarily he wanted something using some of the themes from a post I reblogged about two weeks ago (http://forbiddensoul562.tumblr.com/post/121291952349/imagine-mello-and-near-sharing-a-small-apartment)

So! Tomorrow afternoon I’ll be posting the entire one-shot I’ve written for this occasion. However, I figured I’d post a teaser here ahead of time~

With that said, what follows is the beginning section of this little drabble thing. It’s also a working first draft that I’ve done my best to not edit, that way what’s posted tomorrow will actually be different than this. So my apologies ahead of time for any errors, or awkwardness that may be in it at the moment.

Still, see what you think!

'I'm only staying the weekend.' That's what I had originally said. One weekend was what I had told Rester this would be, that that was all it would take for me to look into and complete the investigation Mello had requested my assistance on.

That's what I had told Rester three weeks ago.

The case itself had been simple enough, and hardly the sort of thing that would have otherwise needed my attention. I was tasked with investigating into whom within the Mafia, was transferring out their money. It was so simple and utterly mundane that Mello could have just done it himself. But because of his own involvement in their organization, such maneuvering would have made him seem suspicious.

So it fell onto me, and I had executed the job quick and without mistakes

And yet… once the job was done neither of us seemed to bring up the topic of me returning to the former SPK building. It all went unsaid, as though I was just meant to stay here… here with him.

For a moment I considered the possibility that this was merely an elaborate means of kidnapping. But in the off chance that this was indeed kidnapping, then Mello's actions towards me were quite strange indeed.

My entire being felt as though it was entirely enveloped within the comforts of the mattress that was beneath me, and from where I lay on my belly floating between states of consciousness and sleep I could push my face further into the pillow, allowing the smell of eucalyptus and chocolate filling my senses with a lulling comfort.

It seemed as though only a moment later was when I felt gentle fingers begin working at the back of my shirt, pushing it upwards to allow my skin to meet chilled air. Though that didn't last long as in the next moment I felt warm air, a breath, caress against the sensitive skin there. Lips touched my flesh, kissing up each vertebrae of my spine.

"Mello." I said with a heavy exhale, leaving my eyes closed, relishing in him suddenly taking over nearly all of my senses through just a few subtle motions. "Just because you need to be awake this early does not mean you must subject me to the same suffering."

I felt him smirk against my skin, though all I seemed able to focus on was the rhythmic exhales of warm air from his nose which raised goose bumps on my flesh and sent waves of shivers through my body. "On the contrary, that's exactly what it means." He stated, placing just a few more kisses on my spine before drawing back up.

Though even with my eyes closed I could feel his weight on top of me and practically see his persisting smirk. "You've got work to do." He stated.

I let my eyes open onto the dark bedroom, looking back as best I could to send a half-hearted glare. "My cases can wait." I retorted, being met with silence.

I could practically hear the response he wanted to send me: that such a mentality was hardly fitting of L. But the words wouldn't escape him, for that meant admitting that I was now L; that I had won. It didn't matter, I already could hear the words; he didn't need to say anything further. It was better that way.

I sighed finally, "Fine. You're childishly persistent."

He huffed with some internal sense of victory about him then finally climbed off me, leaving me alone in the bed once more. His bed, to be precise.

I heard the door to the bathroom close and so too did my eyes as the muddled sound of water running reached my ears. Lying there I had to wonder… If I just stayed here, would I be able to stay? Would I forever be left enwrapped in everything that is Mello?

Suddenly that didn't seem to be such a terrible demise. Stockholm syndrome is quite a ruthless killer, it seemed.

Regardless, now was not the time to consider such options, though perhaps it was best to leave such things to be experienced at only select times. So with a sigh I rose from the comfortable spot in bed and repositioned my shirt in its proper place, heading from the bedroom out into the stilled apartment that in itself seemed to be such a heavy reflection of who Mello was; who he'd always been.

Sparse in belongings, and yet chaotic in what he did have. Chaotic genius. Something I didn't understand, yet somehow felt that I wanted to. Yet for the few toys I had around the room, and the laptop on the table for where I did my work, it all seemed to hardly make any effect against his things.

Like oil and water. But who was who, for sure water was life giving, but oil provided the means for all the true flavors of life. How interesting.

Yet standing alone within the open room with only the fair sound of the water running in the other room to break the silence, I couldn't help but feel out of place, and ponder on how strange it was to even be here with no longer a sure reason.

For a moment I thought to myself that maybe I could do something for Mello. After all, that was what people, particularly guests, did when they showed that they were thankful for the generosity, right? They participated in kind, generous acts of their own of either monetary or generous actions?

So what should I do?

What could I do seemed like the more appropriate question…

'Perhaps breakfast.' I thought to myself as I gazed around the room, considering to myself how, for being the most important meal of the day, it consistently seemed to be the one most forgotten. That is, supposing you didn't find chocolate to be suitable sustenance. Not that I necessarily had any room to judge…

In any case, breakfast seemed to be something I could manage. After all, how hard could it really be?
