Been reading the [profile] near_and_dearcom's most recent post about what history people give their Nears and it brings up some great thoughts which I’m putting here as I’m sadly not a Near mun (only in wishes)

As much as I don’t think Obah meant it I do think there could be the possibility he may have some illness such as Asperger syndrome but I tend to go for that he either saw something, parental deaths maybe, that made him withdraw into his own world and at such a young age as it can affect how you relate to others. Yeah cliche but a possibility. The other thought I had for his past was that he had been abandoned by his parents, simply either just left or ignored or mentally abused. Some children know to help themselves but we all know Near has no ability (or want?) to take care of himself, and abandonment like that can bring a great mistrust of others as well as other issues.

The Near in my mind has always been an eccentric genius, most genius children feel cut off already because they have something their peers don’t have whether it’s great intellect or just plain talent. It’s something that separates them from others already. It’s said those with high IQ’s can have social issues because they show such an intensity of thought they can cut of the world. They can also be quite blunt with people as they fail to understand others aren’t on the same level so get frustrated and as such find other people’s opinions to be insignificant to their own. So I like using that with the Near in my head. Others may not understand him but he doesn’t care either way.

Erm yeah kind of didn’t want to post that in near and dear as my god coherency is not my friend today XD But I’m rather fond of eccentric genius characters which is why I love Near and the Wammy’s in general.


Not to do with rest of post but just realise I say things like ‘rather fond’ a lot, god no wonder Alex associates me with being a Brit. Funnily I have a Northern accent so don’t sound that posh only in writing LOL

Near's obviously very eccentric and plain uninterested in most things others have to offer. No wonder he didn't want to go outside and play with children-- he gets more along with FBI agents!

*Nods* It’s because like Mello they have something to offer him intellectually and don’t go asking stupid questions but listen to his input. He doesn't put up with fools.

Nothing to do with that but I always thought it was so cute that he asked Rester to accompany him on the plane ♥

Also, playful children aren't exactly challenging for his brain. They're also more immature than he is.

That scene was the cutest thing ever!!! I'm glad they showed us a second of them on the plane in the anime. It's one of the very few good things the animated second arc had (^^;

I agree again ^_^ even Mello was seen outside playing which shows you how different their intellect is. Near really never stops thinking, even when playing he does puzzles or crafts that require some thought.

That was so much love ♥ I awwwed when I saw it, it better stay in the seconds part special this summer.
