Older Mello and Near have teamed up as L and Near has to cross dress as a wealthy young heiress for *handwave handwave* very legitimate detective work reasons
This one was meant for @meroniaevent for the prompt Disguise and Hair, but I took waaaaaaaayyyyy too long to finish it :T
HI i think i recall you mentioning the other day that you were taking requests for meronia (if not, please disregard this fdshfhdhd) and i was wondering if you might be willing to draw femslash meronia with Near wearing Mello's jacket...! 👀 either way, i hope your day is going well!! 🤝
honestly one of my favourite things about near is that he is, imo, a fundamentally unhateful person — he forgives quickly and he accepts slights against him as non-malicious and therefore not worthy of anger. HOWEVER he absolutely despises light in particular and his passion throughout the series is batting him around in such a humiliating fashion that the task force suspects him more than they did when there was near-irrefutable proof of his crimes. it’s like all the anger he doesn’t have for everyone else is concentrated solely on this one single person. black hole density levels of hatred.
and still in light’s final moments he is not forgiving and he offers no comfort whatsoever, but he isn’t cruel. everyone else stays silent but near answers his questions with the understanding that he is still a person. he lets light keep his humanity, however pathetic he’s become.
if you think about it Meronia is actually SO funny in canon. like Near always speaks about Mello with the utmost respect and admiration, defends his actions no matter how despicable, kept his photo for five years and moved Heaven and Earth to make sure everyone who knew him at Wammy’s House would also guard his identity with their lives, told his staff it was rude to point their guns at Mello and then encouraged Mello to shoot him. and Mello is like wow fuck this guy
all forms of fanworks (art, fic, poetry, edits, playlists, etc) will be welcomed & appreciated; more details to come soon! follow @nearsbday for updates :)
AAAAAAAA ignore the fact that the clothes are totally unrelated, the only way to motivate me to study something, for some reason, is to put Near in the middle
So I was a genius, I decided to study color theory and clotes and I did it with Near
