Death Note Near - Blog Posts

I like to think that Linda was super mad at Near and Mello and thats why when she was asked she was like “yes here is a drawing of their faces!” to get back at them, but she didn’t really want them to die so she drew the much younger versions of them than she actually remembers

Near read a lot of parenting books as a child. Why? Because reasons

He could be :)

Progress on my Near drawing~

having 14-15 year old anons tell me that i am “infantilizing” autism and that i represent it terribly despite being an adult who’s a diagnosed autistic really says a lot about how informed they are about neurological disorders. especially when near is autistic in every fic i make and his autism isn’t the center of it, sometimes i don’t even think about it as it’s so normal to me to be that way.

i project my autism symptoms and how it makes me the person i am, and i am called ableist for it. as an autistic man who’s special interests are cutesy aesthetics and experiences age regression due to autism, bpd, did, and trauma i feel that i am 100% not the ableist one here who’s infantilizing autism.

minors shouldn’t even be on our blog, our content is not made for your age group, block us instead of having a mental breakdown over my stuff. and if you’re an adult who participates in these activities here and on other peoples content i feel sorry for how immature you are with you and your gang of minors.

It is now a fanfiction :)

I had the thought “this could be a fanfiction”

So I’m writing it :)

Summary: Near will beat Kira, for there was no other option. Asking the tarot cards wouldn't hurt, however.

An expansive room, enshrouded by darkness, illuminated only by the numerous screens that covered the walls; and in the middle sat a boy, in the space the light didn’t reach, in a space that would have been empty had he not been there.

A boy called Near. As white as a ghost, sitting alone in a space so big and empty, it was almost as if he was in another world where only he existed.

To an outside observer, someone who didn’t understand the intricacy that was his mind, he might as well have been. He gave all the signs of someone stuck in their own little world with no regards to those around him. With eyes focused intently on the cards he was shuffling, a new deck of tarot cards that had yet to be used, over and over he shuffled them, as if nothing else mattered. Not once had he shown any sign of acknowledgement to the other people in the room; his subordinates.

Of course, the young detective saw no reason why he had to. Even though a good number of them had decided, for whatever reason, that watching him was more important than the tasks they have been given.

They were newly acquainted, after all, and none of them were truly bothering him.

The stares didn’t bother him. Those haven’t bothered him for a long time, not since his childhood. He wouldn’t find them bothersome so long as none of them decided to entrench upon his designated work area.

His self-designated work area, undeniably, but the headquarters were designed specifically to give Near the space he needed to work as effectively as possible. That was why the desks for the employees were all placed against the walls despite the vastness of the room.

His subordinates simply haven’t gotten used to the way he worked, and thus, didn’t understand. That was reasonable enough to Near. Even in Wammy’s House, among other geniuses, he was considered odd.

He knew that no one else needed a personal bubble as big as his to keep their mind clear, or be in a certain contorted position to keep their mind sharp, or always have something in their hands that was anything but the case files–or other paper documents for that matter–to stay focused. He knew that no one else who was visually capable needed to have information read to them in order for them to efficiently process the information. He knew that no one else used toys or other objects as visuals quite like he did, and he knew that they couldn’t comprehend said visuals he’d constructed the same way he did, despite how obvious they were in his mind.

The way he worked was unconventional, and Near knew that. But that was the way he worked best and the results he achieved spoke for themselves. In time, everyone who worked for him would have no issues with the way he did things. Just like those that he had worked with in the past. Just like a few of the agents here. Senior members who already worked with him before he had hired the rest of the elite members for the SPK.

The Special Provision for Kira; a group he had assembled himself, consisting of FBI and CIA agents, whose objective was to stop Kira, and put an end to his so-called reign. Now all they needed was the support of the President of the United States and they would officially become an organization. Most importantly, they would have access and control to every resource they could ever need for this investigation.

Near had worked tirelessly in order to get this far and he was confident that he and his team would catch Kira in due time.

Shuffling his cards for the twenty-second time, he positioned his hands in a way that was both calculated and practiced, and loosened his grip just enough so that they all rained down in front of him, and into a pool of cards. All faced down; just the way he wanted them to.

His subordinates, all of whom have decided some time ago that watching him do what he knew they saw as childish dilly-dallying was a waste of time, once again have their eyes on him. No doubt they were alerted by the sound of his cards landing on the floor. One of them even asked a colleague what he was doing. Whether it was curiosity or apprehension or disgust, he didn’t care enough to identify.

His gaze didn’t leave the cards. A hand reached out towards his hair on impulse, index finger twirling a lock in a motion that spoke of habit. He contemplated his next course of action. He could use them to build a construction of patterns that would expand into a magnificent fortress or castle or whatever else he chose.

Or he could use his tarot cards as intended.

Tarot cards were an interest of his that hadn’t truly surfaced until the beginning of the Kira Case. Long before that, he had chosen to study them on a whim, a knowledge sought out of boredom. It was a surprise that he found them fascinating; the fool’s journey, the different meanings of each card, the different spreads that told different things. They were nothing more than a passing amusement at the time. An interesting yet unimportant data, one of the few he had let himself indulge in. At most, he found them convenient to use as visual representations. Like his toys.

That is, until a case appeared where the most probable explanation for the murders was that it was supernatural in nature.

“Will I beat Kira?”

I decided to do a tarot card reading to help me with this. The question I actually asked was: Could you tell me which cards I should use for Near’s reading of “Will I beat Kira”?

The cards I got are so perfect, I honestly can’t believe how good it turned out!

Challenge: Knight of Pentacles

Unconscious: Ten of Wands

Past: Five of Swords Reversed

Conscious: Seven of Pentacles

Future: Five of Cups Reversed

“What will happen to Sayu Yagami?”

I decided to do another tarot card reading to write a fanfiction. My full question was: Which cards should I use for Near’s reading of “what will happen to Sayu Yagami?”

Reading is below the cut:

Heart of the Matter: Five of Swords

Challenge: The Emperor

Unconscious: Ten of Wands Reversed

Past: Three of Pentacles Reversed

Conscious: The Tower Reversed

Future: The Sun Reversed

Querent: Eight of Pentacles

Environment: The Wheel of Fortune

Hopes and Fears: Page of Swords

Outcome: Knight of Wands

"Call me by your name, and I'll call you by mine."

"Mello,"

"Near."

Thank you @user-null for drawing this, it's amazing <3

I can't stop thinking of a Death Note AU, where Near is an exchange student and travels overseas during the summer to stay in a small town in the countryside. He barely understands the language and has to rely on a local blonde-haired man (Mello) to communicate with him and show him around the place.

They spend the summer going from strangers to friends, to eventual lovers.

deathnote but it takes place in 2022 and Matt leaks all the details of the Kira case to his discord kittens

plot twist one of his kittens is just near in disguise spying on mello

I finally finished the lineart! (Please ignore the messed up hands. I’ll fix it when I figure out how)

With sketch:

Based on the phone call from episode 30 while taking some info liberties (Near merely asks the Japanese Task Force to call him if L #2 was ever suspected; not confirmed yet; and once Near brings it up, we hear Aizawa’s doubts).  And I know that it was bias that ultimately killed L, but bias can lead to stupidity~. And I like the idea of Near just being done with the Japanese Task Force’s incompetence (which he is but is still milking them for use).  So, maybe this happens underneath that cool exterior?  In the manga, he’s much more smiley and beautifully troll-ish over the phone~.

Behold! This extremely messy sketch of Near!

Behold! This extremely messy sketch of Near!

hi i have an art request because i can't draw but like near in like pagan apparel?? i headcanon him as like agnostic pagan and like i really wanted to see him in like a pentacle necklace with crystals and like witchy symbols using his tarot or just anything pagan!near really

Hi anon I’m SUPER sorry this took me two months to finish!! Honestly I didn’t really have a proper idea of what I wanted the final result to look like and I don’t feel like I put enough emphasis on the pagan aspects of the drawing and generally I don’t think I did your headcanon justice :( Regardless, I tried my hardest with this and I hope you still like it!!!

the mask goes on the minute other people look.

make eye contact. too much, look away. now smile and nod. stop bouncing your leg. make them like you.

those are his thoughts. because too many people have called him weird. too many people have pointed and laughed. too many people made fun of him for just being himself.

oh, but you..

you remind him it's okay to unmask. you smile, listening to him ramble about his interests. you could listen for hours and never get bored.

when you notice his discomfort in a crowd. when you help him communicate when he's too overwhelmed to talk.

with you, the ribbon that holds the mask together comes undone. with you, his mask falls to the ground.

POE, RANPO, dazai, GIYUU, kenma, l lawliet, near, WANDERER, AL HATHIAM, kaveh, LYNEY, and any of your autistic favorites!
