-nods-

Ah, okay! =D Thank you!

See, I'm trying to make Near as in character as possible, and Near and Mello are still rivals, but Near rather for his friend's feelings who is devoted to Mello, and Mello because Near is the best at everything. See that? BTW, Near's eventually going to give up on the girl. Who, I hope, does not appear to be a Mary Sue. She is the opposite actually. Whiny, shallow, clingy...like a horrible fangirl! With no shame!

Subtly provoke Mello...an idea popped into meh head. =D Near is just a teenage boy, and has justified beliefs, but he really isn't mature.

But then again, who is completely mature 100% of the time? :S

Make her have a hair eating fetish... and one night she sleep walks and eats Near's hair....WHAT WOULD HE DO?!

He'd be bald and probably sue her. -shrugs-

Hisagi-kun! O'er here!

Anyway, the reason why I love love LOVE Mello x Near is the hate-love relationship. I absolute ♥ those kinds of pairings. Also, there are many canon hints of that pairing.

(Since I'm lazy to think up my own reasons, I'll add details to this from what I got from Ali-neechan.)

First, Near wanted to work with Mello. Well, he knew that Mello and he would succeed L if they worked together that way, but he was also fond of Mello. He never insulted Mello's brash actions because that's what Near lacked, and Near probably admired his ways. (But then again, he did die.)

BUT Mello, if you think about it, did sort of die for Near. He made all these sacrifices for himself, but also partially for Near too. They worked together in an indirect way. Like in page 118, Halle tells Mello about the Near's plan with the notebook. (Having Mikami write their names down in the fake notebook.)

Then, Mello goes "Then I guess I'm going to have to do it." He meant he was going to switch the real notebook's pages. And he did it...for Near.

Ack, I need to restart the computer, so I'll edit this when the **' computer is up again.

I get it then now definently. That is a good couple. I now love it even wih the little detail. Well for yoai I guess Mello goes with bith Near and Matt now for me. Awwwww poor Mello and Matt. I wish they all would have survived.

...Did I convert you? 8D

I like the threesome MattMelloNear. It's hawt. Hehe. I wish Mello and Matt survived as well. DX

I'm writing a challenge fic, though, on the cliched Life Note, only Near has it...guess who he's going to bring up from the dead? ^^

...I ripped my toenail off... I'm gonna try to stick it back on...XD

Yep that threesome does sound really hawt. Poor Mello hed probably be in the middle XD

Thats a good storyline, If near brings Mello back to life then pleeeez make him bring Matt back to life too, I NEED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DeliciousMangoe: Are you going to put it back on with glue or tape? lolz

I don't think Near would think that far to bring Matt back to life...maybe. But I have to make reasonable rules for this "Life Note".

True but my reason for bringing Matt back to life is, once Near brings Mello back to life Mello will want Matt back to not only as a friend but im 99% sure he feels sorry that Matt died (probably thinks its 100% his fault) and thats the leasy he can do.

I say 100% his fault because in my opinion it was 50% his fault for saying Matt wouldnt get killed but 50% Matts fault for going along with it.

I think a reasonable rule would be something along the lines of: By bringing someone back to life the LifeNote owner must make sure that by bringing the person back to life will not change history, ruin or completely help the world. I dont know a LifeNote is hard because its easier to beleive someone got murdered rather than them coming back to life.

I'm on the swim team too! Lolz.

Hehe, we better take this to another thread...like here.

Heh.

Near desu!!!!!!!

I love him. He's so white haired, and pale and pure, and cute. ^^

*pinches Near's cheeks* AHHH!!!!!! SO CUTE!!!

Ahem...

Sorry for the fangirl moment....but I really like Near. Something about his attitude makes him interesting to me. He's such a smartass, but in a quiet way.

I agree..he's so cute. But can you believe he's 19...?

No, actually I can't.

I was shocked when I found out.

For 19, he is tiny.

I'm still shocked. Actually I don't want to believe it... ^_^;; I'm still saying to myself, "He's a cute little 13 year old genious!" haha Oh, well.

I can tell myself that all I want, but then someone always comes and shatters the happy little fantasy.

XD

Darn...that's when you realize the true cruelness of reality, huh? I get you there. :p

Oh, well. Near's still like a little brother figure to me. :3

Mimi: ZOMG MATT IS HERE! QUICK.

-grabs Near and Mello and Matt to a closet-

QUICK JUMP IN HERE AND HAVE SEX-ER, I MEAN HIDE.

Ah, Near. Near, Near, Near... what can I say about Near that's not totally obvious (he's sooo emotionless, he likes his toys, etc.)...?

Personally, I like Near. He's my third favorite character (1 is L, and 2 is B). Now, you either hate him or love him, but no matter what you have to respect him. Seriously. He's extremely young (19 I think) but he is already an amazing intellect and he managed to finish a case that L couldn't. Now, I love L's character (not because he's so ky-oot... God I hate it when people do that... but because of his actual character, his personality, his intellect, his eccentricy wrapped up in one package and I'd say more but this is a forum about Near) but I think Near is slightly 'better' (not personality wise but detective wise) than L, and you have to respect him for that. L has a kind of intellegence (the kind that allows you to understand the depths of the human mind and the twisted nature of the human heart) that you only gain with experience, but Near, without a whole lot of experience, managed to surpass L (with a little help from Mello, but let's face it... Mello only followed Near's lead). Basically, because he's a more organized and logical than L. L tried to expose Kira using his strengths; his understanding of phsycology. Near used phsycology and a logical, organized approach to succeed where L ultimately failed; L always knew Light was Kira BUT he could never get enough physical evidence to prove it. Near managed to accomplish that.

And yes, I have to admit, he is adorable, in that emotionless-little-boy-toy way, but I really think that deep down, he really respected L and had an obsession with L similiar to B's but extremely played down. Why do I think this? Because of the very last episode; he proclaimed that he and Mello had finally surpassed L, which indicates that he always wanted to in the first place. Of course that's expected, since he is supposed to be L's successor. And the fact that he wants to surpass L suggests that he has a deep respect for L, and that suggests that he must have some sort of feelings for L. He has to hide it though, because frankly, if you become a detective you have to become cold and hard because you're faced with atrocities every day that most people only see in movies.

....Man, I think I milked that topic just way too much.

I hate Near. End of story.

Mm, so blunt. What do you hate about him?

His unwillingness to act, and yet, he still became L.

One L's most defining characteristics (in my opinion) was his ability to act boldly, to take risks. Behind the letter he would evaluate the situation, and then he could quickly apprehend the culprit on his own.

Near however rarely did anything by himself.

And then there's also the fact that I tend to sympathize with Light.

Near really doesn't do that much does he? He just sits in his hole somewhere and observes, doesn't take initiative like L. Even when he reveals himself at the end it's not really a risk... I think that's just from lack of experience though. L had a lot of experience and knew when, where, why and how to take risks, and he knew when the gambles were worth it. Near never really had a chance to figure the delicate balance out.

Mmm, yeah, Near did need help almost every step of the way, while L often does things by himself. He's an individualist, yet not a sociopath... L is very proficient at walking a lot of the hypothetical thin lines in this world, isn't he?

Just a question: You like L or Light more, personality wise? Who do you sympathize more with (I know you sympathize with Ligh to some extent, just not sure the extent)? Do you think Light or L is more intellegent? I've been wondering...

Yes L is quite the talented tight rope walker.

As for your questions, personality wise I like L. He's just quirky and fun to watch.

I am a Kira supporter. I believe in his ideals and I'm not abject to the way he went about things. But I do understand that his dream is an impossibility.

I also believe Light is more intelligent than L. They come close to each other, but if L had been smarter he wouldn't have given light the Death Note in the helicopter.

Mm, yes he is.

Haha, yea.

Meh, I don't support Light. Firstly, I'm a Christian, so I believe he doesn't have the right, but if I take God out of it, still wouldn't support him because who is he to judge people? Why is he above the law, and why does he have the right to execute those the law releases? Because without God, the only justice is law, and without law, you have anarchy. I don't know, I suppose Light considered himself above the law, but again, why is he and no one else above him?

I think L is probably smarter. He managed to outwit Light often. Not majorly (is that even a word?) enough to expose him completely, but L always managed to back Light into corners which he could barely escape. Consider when he first revealed himself and Light was stunned, or at the coffee shop where Light could barely recover from the trap that L set for him. That could just be because he underestimated L though. He also almost lost when L apprehended Misa. And L didn't give Light the Death Note, he was just so stunned that he didn't stop Light. L is human too, despite his attempts to reject his humanity, and he was shocked as anyone when he saw the Shinigami.

I just find it funny that when you mention the word Shinigami to him, he screams bloody murder and falls out of chairs, he sees one and he just kind of stares. Lol.

You're Christian, sweetie I'm Catholic. Don't misunderstand me when I say I support Kira, I don't see him as a God, far from it. But I can't help but admire his drive to use the Note as he did. How many people would use it to try and uphold justice, to try and create a better world? I know he was corrupted by the power, and felt that the power made him a god, but I still admire his intentions. And that is why I support him. Light's justice is flawed, but no more so then our own currently is, the flaws are simply different, and Lights are more noticeable. I think of Kira as a harsher version of the death penalty, a vigilante if I was to romanticize it. He is not above the law, and he never will be, and upon death he will be judged for his actions (as long as what Ryuk said was false), but until such time Kira brings hope to those who see criminals walk free. Hope like that is needed in this world, no matter how tainted it is.

If L was smarter then why do you think he died? He also underestimated Light, growing accustomed to his doe eyed innocence. He already had the theory that Kira's power was transferable, upon finding the Death Note I find it hard to believe that he would simply allow Light free reign. To me, if L were smarter than Light, he would have locked him up after getting the Note and aprehending Higuchi. But he didn't, just as Light anticipated he would.

By that point I think he'd adjusted to the probability of actual Shinigami existing. lol

I was a bit more annoyed at the fact that he KILLED A BUNCH OF PEOPLE but... well, yeah, I get what he was trying to do, but either way he has no right. I wasn't thinking that you thought he was God, I was just covering all the bases in case you weren't Christian/Catholic. At least, I think that's what I was doing. I kind of forgot what I said : l

I think that L knew that Light had gotten his memories back. The skeptical way he said 'well... I guess seeing that monster would frighten anybody', the way he acted right before he died (which I consider him saying 'Light, I know you're going to kill me, but we were really friends, and I forgive you. Even for that). He just couldn't find a way to trap Light or get himself to reveal he's Kira somehow, and if he used the 'if I die he's Kira' again, who would believe him? I don't think that he could have imprisoned him either because he didn't have Light's consent at that time. The first time, Light asked to be imprisoned so L's conscience would allow it, but he couldn't lock him up without Light's consent again without violating his conscience. L values justice over everything, and doing unjust things to accomplish justice just isn't his style. He'd rather die and let N and M take over. Now this is an interesting thought, but what if he realized his investigation was going nowhere and he purposefully got himself killed so Light would relax his guard a lot, which would allow N and M to apprehend him? Anyway...

Hmm, I guess you're right. Haha.
