"rolling around on the floor" has to be one of my favourite genres of Near panels
What if, the Death Note tennis match but instead of tennis they play pickleball
A DUTY OF CARE.

“I think…” Near ventures one unremarkable afternoon in midwinter, pausing in the middle of a thousand-piece puzzle, “we should get married.”
Your hands pause over the tea kettle. “Um. Near?” you say cautiously, wondering if he’s finally lost his damn mind. “We’re... not together?”
Never forget the annihilating sass this boyo spits on a day to day basis
Here he is driving a man to s**c*de simply by saying "you fuckin' murderer" 🥰
For someone so methodical and precise, he is incredibly casual about destroying things
And then he would put them back together as good as new 🥹
@nearsbday : DAY 7 - "FIXATION"
Wanted to get something with my Death Note OC in before the party ends 👀 Lee works part-time as a forensic/criminal sketch artist and one day Near asks her to draw L.
She wanted to be a successor but never made the cut, so she doesn't understand why Near is so fixated on the previous L when he already is L.
The page featuring the panel with Near insulting Takada’s intellect is placed directly beneath the one where he’s fooling around with rubber ducks. Imagine badmouthing a To Oh university elite and then resuming your Sesame Street tomfoolery with a straight face. Near is something else. He has no shame.
Oof not saying I have no shame but I was all for that clapback 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The more days I live the more I find Takada absolutely moronic. She spews senseless Kira extremist bs to make herself feel important, she indulges in the fame that being the "Kira Queen" gives her
She has the capacity to use her head yet refuses to question anything around her
Near isn't particularly mean about Misa unlike the rest of the cast (albeit he never had to interact with her) but he looks down on Takada. It's a particular type of stupidity that ruffles his feathers.
And I must say I share the sentiment
So I took the liberty to provide alternative translations for Near's roast (cuz boy is SASSY)
I do agree with him overall, Takada is pretentious. I just find the fact that he’s so judgmental and straight-faced while fiddling around with rubber ducks to be cosmically ironic. 😭
He takes himself so seriously while being such a goofball.
Thanks for the alt translations! 🙏
No for sure it's meant to be ironic how he's simultaneously the most child-like and yet arguably one of the wiser/more mature characters + a whole lot of judgmental and sass 🤣🤣🤣
He can go on an existential monologue and after which I would still boop his nose

Written for Near's birthday party 2024 @nearsbday
Chapter 6: 月光 (Moonlight) for Day 6: The Moon
Crescent Moon turned misty, brown eyes warmed only by strings of light scattered on the floor. He was captured by the glow, tazed by tingling sensations in his stomach.

@nearsbday : DAY 4 - "FORTUNE"
The River is the final of five community cards dealt that often makes or breaks a hand. A lucky river card can change the game as it decides the outcome of a showdown. 🃏

Chapters: 5/19 (Part I) - Day 3: Comfort
A selected compilation of letters exchanged between Near and Corrin - close friends since Wammy's days, now young adults with vastly different callings in life.
@nearsbday : DAY 2 - "MEMORY"
Near through the years 🧩
I don't know where else to add the commentary I have abt this piece so I will put it in a reblog 🙂↕️ Talking about some of the details and process for the individual pieces!
I love this so much 😭 the chronology really expresses Near's complex emotions throughout this whole experience
Death Note AU where everything is the same except instead of Kira, the culprit is referred to as "Murderer McMurderFace"
I know L was itching to do it
How could you leave this in the tag???
In addition to that, Mello might come up with something like Mycrazy McFucker
Matt will simply refer to the culprit as The Unaliver
(I still can't figure out what Near will call him ... he can either be extremely creative and sassy or extremely low effort as a method for psychological war fare - Light isn't worth the time he'd spend coming up with a nickname)
