VERONICA AND JD x MERONIA

This was a drawing I did for a good friend because we had this idea when we were talking a while ago

[mydearfortune]

‘near is a cheap copy of L 😡’ yes and he knows it. He knows it in his fucking bones. That’s the worst part, right? He was trained to be another person. And he’s not. There is no way for him to ever fill that role because L, more than being a job, is a human. Who can never be replicated. Who died at 25 years old and left no instructions on what to do after. Near had no interest in Kira really beyond that L must solve the Kira case; he doesnt even really seem to like solving detective cases in general. When all is said and done, Near is a cheap copy of L. Because the tragedy of death note is that no character can ever exist alone, but they all will be when it’s over.

something about Mello referring to himself as Mihael Keehl in LABB. The rejection of the alias that defined him for so long. The honesty to both himself and the reader. He knows by that point that Kira had his name, so logically there isn’t much point in hiding it any more but that isn’t all there is attached to that alias. There’s also his identity of Mello, L’s successor, the one who fought for years to overcome his obstacles and become the next great genius detective to come from Wammy’s house. By calling himself Mihael he’s not only remembering who he was before that, it’s an act of humility, accepting defeat with grace and respect to his opponent, Near: he isn’t L’s successor Mello anymore, Near is the new L, he’s just Mihael, the boy who is going to sacrifice himself so that Kira can be stopped. It isn’t about his ego or victory, it’s doing the right thing and for once, taking the high road.

it’s finally giving up the long fight, and being allowed to die as himself.

He's going insane

Near buys mini accessories for his finger puppets (specifically more for the Mello one)

[mydearfortune]

dude your intricate ritual just fucking bit me

[mydearfortune]

[mydearfortune]

talking with your ‘co-worker’ be like:

[mydearfortune]

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!! 🤝

I hope I did well :DDD

[mydearfortune]

Silly mello

[mydearfortune]

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.

[mydearfortune]

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
