#mello speaks

[mellometal]

Hey, everyone. This isn't very easy for me to talk about, but I need to.

My beloved cat Genny passed away this morning. I was still at work when this happened. Thank god I was able to find coverage as quickly as I did. I'm so crushed right now, you have no idea. Genny got me through so much shit in the near fourteen years of our lives. That girl has been by my side since I was twelve, going on thirteen. We really got to be girls together. 😭

She was a great cat. I've had lots of cats throughout my life that were all special in their own ways, but my Genny was special. Genny got me through the rest of my school career, and my adulthood so far.

I'm forever grateful for the time I got to spend with her.

i can't help but wonder if there is indeed a large portion of endogenic systems who have no struggles whatsoever and glorify being a system,

or if they just chose to not showcase their struggles (understandable, no one should have to) and then onlookers just assume that they don't struggle because they don't talk about it.

#syscourse #ok to reblog #mello speaks #this kind of thing has happened to us in the past a few times #people thinking that we dont struggle because we dont publically talk about it. #got our trauma fakeclaimed once because of that. #so i just cant help but wonder.

Because my Beyond is of Irish descent and spent a good portion of his childhood before Wammy's running around the piers and getting into trouble I've made the executive decision that Beyond speaks Scots when he's angry or tired. The accent slips in like a thief in the night ✨

#beyond birthday #death note #no i do not take criticism #A loved his accent but roger very much did not so it got 'trained' out of him #as did the rest or his heritage :D #A had her accent nuked too bc they needed to speak Properly™ and while French is useful it's not Proper™ #roger and wammy colonizing their kids #this is my headcanon for why matt and mello also dont have accents/dont speak other languages #headcanons #headcanon

Story Of Us ( Taylor's Meronia's Version ) Prompts : Black & White , Truce , Game , Dream , Arrange

( I somehow bullshitted my way to a bingo )

Speak Now ( Taylor's version ) and a Meronia Event on the same day? Thats funny

(I'm very aware that this more angst than fluff but it isnt my fault that their relationship is kind of doomed whoops )

Listen.

I know that Wammy's House is all sorts of fucked up.

I know it's an unethical and exploitative system.

I know that every kid that comes from there has issues.

I know that Watari at least partly raised L for financial reasons.

But goddammit whenever I think about them being one big happy family where Wammy and Roger are the gay dads and L is the big brother that everyone admires I get a goofy ass smile on my face so allow me this fantasy of people who don't exist :')

#This is me speaking to the void #I always find myself thinking of them as a found family and have to remind myself Wammy's is fucked #death note #l lawliet #nate river #mihael keehl #mail jeevas #death note near #death note mello #death note matt #owl's posts

[quicktimeeventfull]

semi-serious dn au where L doesn't speak japanese, the task force doesn't speak english, and all their communication takes place through really bad charades

(bonus points if misa is the translator and she just Lies)

i love this very much because it’s always struck me as kind of funny that everyone in death note can magically communicate with zero language barriers. like i think it’s a good narrative decision because messing around with translation would have slowed down the plot for no reason, but if you take a step back it doesn’t really make sense. also i want very badly to know in what language the spk and the task force were communicating in — i assume it’s english but i feel their chosen language would alter the dynamic a bit.

ALSO i love that in this scenario misa has the best english out of everyone, 10/10 for misa.

#in the non-au version i think it makes sense that L and watari are both fluent bc it would be really odd for watari to pick a japanese name #otherwise #but the spk all speaking japanese seems unlikely #same w/ mello’s whole gang & matt as well #that’s just me rambling though fdjhfdhj i like this au version of L also #thank you for sending this!

Writer's game

was tagged by @seth-shitposts @lost-in-derry & @foxxxtransformer123 to make another one!

Rules: In a new post, post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet or tell us about it. Then tag as many people as you have WIPs. If you don't write, list your art WIPs!

I don't really have that many active wips anymore so I'm gonna pull out some old ones!

Mello Amane AU - Misa & Mello are cousins, and after the death of their parents, Misa tries to adopt Mello. However the Wammy house get's him before she can and now she's in a legal battle to get her cousin back. (Stopped making more of this bc I just did not care about Death Note after L's dead, got boring)

Kamino Intern Maul AU - Palpatine accidentally forgot Maul on Kamino and when he finally remembered that he has an apprentice, the Kaminoans have already given him a uniform and tasks to complete (Maul becomes space OSHA)

Protecting What Matters Most AU - Kallus is sent on a cultural exhange to Lasan, mets Zeb, falls in love, Mpreg is involved but before Kallus can tell Zeb that they're gonna be parents, the Purge happens. Now Kallus is trying to survive in a hostile political climate while raising a hybrid child.

Carina Sparrow AU - I should have written that idea now bc I can't remember anything about it save for the fact that Jack is in London, meets Carina, and ends up adopting her bc he knows that her mother wouldn't want her kid to be in an oprhanage (should have gotten more canon info about Carina's mother if they were going to introduce a kid character)

Ancient Egypt AU - a night at the museum fic, made bc I was obsessed with Kahmunrah and the implication of Wax figurines having their personality influenced by how they're percived vs Akhmenrah who remembers his brother as an intelligent man that just spoke slower than their father would have liked (Feature's a LOT of worldbuilding, several OC's & the real life impacts of inbreeding)

As a person who had to be some sort of a rebel to be myself, I think I understand Mello’s fashion choices quite well.

Still considering Mello to be a person who is not especially susceptible to sexual desires, I think he had a very particular psychological reason to wear this kind of clothing.

To me, his style just screams “I AM STRONG, I AM SCARY, I DO WHAT I WANT”, don’t you find?

I guess many kids who were suppressed, hurt and scared in their childhood can see themselves in this example.

You just have to do something to feel more powerful. To feel that you’re in control of your own life. Make sure that people see you the way you want them to.

The rosary seems especially telling in this context. To take something that was considered to be sacred in your childhood and to make it a fashion accessory. This is a really powerful “I do what I want” statement.

the preposition that "Rod Ross was the most evil character in Death Note" keeps me up at night.

#he was a bad guy yes However #like as much as ohba did level a pretty compelling crit of the japanese criminal justice system #'black/brown character coded as xyz is the Most Evil next to literally #is a Choice! #this is partially the usamerica-brained ness speaking but part of the Thing is that some fanworks ive read #clearly understand organized crime/whatever the fuck Mello is doing #a lot better than the manga itself #which we allow because ohba wasnt telling that Story however #a.personal

(I'm going to edit this with added links to resources ASAP. I just don't have all of them saved at the moment. I'm sorry. [Update: I'm gonna just reblog this post with resources. I was trying to edit this post with resources, but the connection was wonky.])

I wanted to make sure I got everything I needed to say in a way that's easy for everyone to understand. I'm gonna be honest, I was genuinely unaware of what has been happening in the world until about a week ago or so due to things going on in my personal life that needed my immediate attention. I've also been struggling a lot, but that's not important right now. Because I was unaware of what was going on in the world currently, I did research to educate myself, watched a lot of videos about it, shared a ton of content about it, am currently in the process of reaching out to representatives all over the United States to get the President to call for a ceasefire, and I've been trying to start the conversation with people I know in real life.

Don't try to use what 1sra3l is doing to Palestine, Gaza, Congo, and Sudan as an excuse to be antisemitic or Islamophobic. Do not try to justify 1sra3l killing innocent people in any way, shape, or form. I don't tolerate people who stand for genocide. Nothing justifies killing innocent people. Tigray, Puerto Rico, Hawai'i, Ukraine, and Northern Ireland are some more oppressed nations, to give some more examples.

Many of the people in Palestine and Gaza have had their homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, and so on destroyed due to 1sra3l bombing them. They're watching their own people die. They're digging through slabs of broken concrete to find their missing loved ones. They're putting the dismembered body parts of their loved ones in bags. They don't have clean drinking water. They don't have electricity. They're getting WORMS from having to drink water that's not suitable for consumption. Food is scarce and very expensive. People are dying from starvation, not having clean drinking water, and the inability to access adequate medical care due to extremely limited resources. Doctors are having to perform life-saving procedures without any type of sanitation, anesthesia, or any type of pain relief to give to the injured. They're performing procedures on the hospital floor and in the streets. They're now having to choose who's worth saving, watch victims die, and then move on to the next. The animals that are still alive are having to resort to eating blown off body parts of DEAD PEOPLE. This is just SOME of the things these people are going through.

There's also war going on in Congo and Sudan. Tigray is still suffering from the genocide on their people, even after the peace agreement in 2022 between Ethiopia and Tigray. Big tech companies are enslaving children in Congo by forcing them to mine for coltan. Millions of Congolese people are being killed. Many Tigrayans are still displaced from their homes, parts of Tigray are still being held captive, and school hasn't started for many children there because so many people are having to resort to living in school buildings or in tents. This is all just the tip of the iceberg and from what I found doing some quick research.

To top that off, President Biden is refusing to ceasefire on Palestine and Gaza. HE'S SENDING MORE MONEY TO 1SRA3L INSTEAD. 1SRA3L, UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW, SHOULDN'T EVEN BE DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY'VE BROKEN SO MANY LAWS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW. THE AMOUNT OF LAWS THEY'VE BROKEN UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW IS ACTUALLY SCARY. MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SILENCE ANYONE (specifically they have been trying to silence Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress) SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE WAR CRIMES BEING COMMITTED AND FUNDED WITH AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS. Oh, but Biden had all the time in the world recently to visit grieving families here in the United States who have lost loved ones due to the rampant gun problem in this country that STILL isn't being fixed. That's nice. /s By the way, I'm not criticizing him for visiting grieving families. I'm criticizing Biden for funding the genocide of innocent people instead of putting a stop to it. The civilians in Palestine and Gaza didn't do anything to deserve what they're going through right now. That goes for all oppressed nations.

We might end up in World War III, and that's gonna be a HUGE problem for the United States if we get involved instead of staying out of it. We don't have enough troops for when and IF WW3 happens. I'm not kidding. When NORTH KOREA is saying that what Biden’s doing is fucked up, you KNOW that it's bad. I don't want World War III to be a reality. I don't want that to happen. I want to say that WW3 will never happen, BUT I CAN'T. History WILL keep repeating itself.

As far as boycotts go, the list of brands that have ties to 1sra3l is overwhelmingly long and the brands that have no ties to 1sra3l and support Palestine are small in comparison. However, the big three to focus on boycotting are McDonald's, Starbucks, and Disney. They're the companies who contribute the most money to horrific shit like what I mentioned here.

I keep seeing many people leaving disabled people out of the conversation and it's irritating because disabled people exist all across the globe. For disabled people, boycotting many of these things that I haven't even listed here may be more difficult, if not impossible, for them to do for a variety of reasons (mainly medical). Obviously I'm speaking in a general sense. It all depends on the person. Reason why I'm bringing this up is because I saw a few medication brands on the boycott list. I've seen people say to just get the generic brand of their medications, but that might not be an available option for them, depending on their insurance.

I don't eat at McDonald's much anymore (actually haven't eaten there much if at all for years), I don't have a Disney+ subscription, and I rarely get Starbucks anyway...so it's personally not a huge loss. There are better things to watch. There are better places to eat at that are more Pescatarian friendly. There are also better places to get myself a blended coffee made with almond milk and extra fixings if I'm feeling fancy. I know there are people in food deserts, in financial strain, and have accessibility issues. I'm not talking about them.

When and if you can, shop and eat out locally. I'm sure they'd love the business! It also helps boost your town's local economy! If this isn't a viable option for you due to financial difficulties and/or accessibility issues, do what you gotta do that's the most sustainable for you, your family, your animals, and whatnot. Meaning if the only grocery store you have in your area is Walmart or it's the only place that's affordable, you're not evil for getting your groceries there. Because we're all struggling right now, myself included. Also, for anyone that's going to suggest a dollar store or a food bank, not everyone has a dollar store or food bank in their area, or has easy access to either of those things. The one thing I will say is do your best to be mindful of the things you buy.

For all my fellow American followers, Canadian followers, followers in the UK, and Australian followers, call and email your representatives and demand a ceasefire if you haven't already. This is especially for my fellow American followers. Call and email President Biden and Vice President Harris. CALL THE WHITE HOUSE. If you're going to a protest, be safe, be respectful, cover up anything identifiable on you, try to go in a group if you can, and all that good stuff. Sign petitions! Donate if you can.

There's so much shit going on, and I think I've discussed enough of it here. It's gotten way too long. Sorry if I missed anything. I wanted to at least cover the big stuff.

good morning everyone and welcome to dn.posting FM. thanks for tuning in to the show. anyway this morning im thinking about how L supposedly 'never got around to choosing a successor' between mello and near but at the same time had primed light and the task force for months before his death to name light as successor of the title L within the team. most likely at least mildly aware of the conflict over succession already brewing in wammy's house. not only placing light in an obvious position as kira (and a position light would never refuse, with how it benefits kira) and building him up as a common enemy. L had light right where he wanted him even after his own death

#LIKE.... #ik the connection L had with wammys house was probably tenuous at best but i really doubt that he didn't know what was going on between #mello and near at the time because like. well he was supposed to pick one of them and he needed to know about them to do that right #but he has seen kira first hand and hmm. even early on he speaks quite frankly about his own death. L as one guy might not be able to make #it through this one #but if two worked together....well they'd never agree. unless you dangled what they wanted right in front of them #L is just as good at social engineering as he is at like. traditional deduction i gen believe he could have thought of it #dn.posting

tghinking about how much of a different person i used to be is so weird .. like at the same time, thinking about all the things i used to do and be into that i wldnt ever support/do NOW is incredibly embarrassing g. but i’m kind of like :. fond Definitely isn’t the right word, but ??i don’t know i feel very weird in a way that isn’t necessarily negative towards my old self, cause i grew up on the internet and i didn’t know what i was saying, and most of the things i learned i learned on my own and Not through my parents—yes that means i said a lot of embarassibg shit but then again the growth part of it is almost . nice for me to think about. like I did that. i got where i am now without anyone’s help . and maybe that meant i was into mcyt for a couple years and absolutely embarrassingly ignorant but we don’t talk abt that part.

#most of my memories are On this blog #because this blog was the first time i ever had an internet presence at all—where ppl were #interacting with me? #SOOO ITS A TRIP 😭 looking at some of my old dms and the way i used to speak to people #it’s embarrassing cause i was sooo naive but i’m sympathetically fond towards how Dumb I Was bro #ugh idk reminiscence is a weird part of the brain #mello talks #i wld love to just purge this acc conpletely and start over some days but dude i don’t wanna go through following accounts i like again
