Thoughts on Mello

[loobee]

Everyone knows how much I love Near but I was just thinking today what it was I liked about Mello as I was so very bored at work. He can be too emotional, zealous, envious, stubborn and infuriatingly set in his ways, but hey I don’t exactly like Near for his fun loving personality so these aren’t bad things. But what got me loving Mello weren’t just these, it wasn’t just that he possesses great charisma, mind and spirit; it wasn’t just the admiration from seeing one so young rise through the ranks of one of the most powerful organisations in the world. It was something else that struck me, one small little fact. 

It was that when there was flaw in Near’s puzzle, when he could of stood back and let Near fail and in doing so win L’s title by default. But he didn’t sit idly by. He chose one last gambit to draw the last piece Near was missing; a final last push which he knew may just be his last. He never chose the cowards way out or the easy way and for that I admire Mello just as much as a certain cold, puzzle solving, Death God wannabe mocking, white haired short arse ^_^ 

And to finish off my ramble here’s a bloody stunning picture of Mello by Ai LoveLove *nosebleeds* 

One day I will draw that beautifully *sigh*

Mello is love for many reasons. He's a hero, but no one will ever recognize his presence or his sacrifice. He wanted to be number one, but at the end he'll remain anonymous, without a name until the bitter end. His corpse was a random one unable to be identified (T_T)
And he had actually saved the world...

But I guess that, at the end, it didn't matter to him anymore. His goals had changed.

That picture is SO AMAZING. I saw it today and had a nosebleed too!!!!!! Mellooooooooooo, ah ah (*´A`*)

Oh nice Mello icon ♥

Your so right, he is hero. In the end, in his own way he finally saw that to be the best it wasn’t winning a name but giving up something to save people. I'm sure Near will always remember what he did and maybe that's all that really matters. In the end they defeated Kira together *cries*

And I like to hope somewhere at Whammy house there's a memorial for Mello, like the ones you get of unknown soldiers that died. He deserves that much, but that's just be being sentimental.

I would murder to see her do a fully painted doujinshi like that because I just can't stop staring at the pretty (O_O)
