Fun Facts About Mello:

He is the third youngest character in the series - a little less than 6 months younger than Sayu, and 50 days older than Matt.

His highest rated skill in Volume 13 is his initiative at a 10/10, equal with Misa, Watari and Gevanni. His second highest is his social skills, rated at a 9/10.

He died in a church in Karuizawa, a resort town about 170km (~106mi) out of Tokyo.

His first appearance in the manga is in chapter 59, and his last is in chapter 104 in a brief flashback sequence. He appears in a total of 24 chapters and 244 panels, excluding Linda's drawing of him, his photograph, and any official art separate from the plot. Factoring in all of that, he appears in 266 panels across 28 chapters.

He has his facial scar for 101 of the panels he appears in.

He makes the most appearances in chapters 70 and 77, appearing 27 times in each. Including the official art and the photograph of him, chapter 77 wins by a count of 1.

Of his 244 appearances, Mello can be seen eating chocolate in 88 of them, or 36% of his total screentime. With the inclusion of three panels in which the chocolate itself is not shown (panels of him with crumbs falling from his mouth, a crumpled wrapper in his hand and licking his gloves respectively), this rises to 37%.

The most panels of him eating chocolate take place in chapter 70, with a total of 22 panels showing the chocolate bar in some capacity.

The hand Mello uses to hold his chocolate bar frequently alternates, with 42 instances of him using his right hand and 40 with his left hand. In the other 6 panels, he has it hanging from between his teeth.

He typically bites off the corners first and demonstrates a fairly even split between the decision to bite off the right corner or the left corner, with a slight preference for the right. On one occasion, he chooses to lick the chocolate instead, and on two occasions, he breaks off a piece with his hands.

There are 178 total panels of Mello talking, including dialogue delivered over the phone and other conversations in which he is not visible. 19 of these panels include him talking with his mouth full.

He talks the most to Soichiro Yagami, with 57 panels involving dialogue from Mello directly addressed to him. The next highest is President David Hoope, with 19 panels, and a close third is Near, with 18 panels.

He specifically addresses only 4 of his mafia associates; Kal Snydar/Jack Neylon, Roy, Skyer and Jose. He only speaks directly to Rod Ross twice, and never addresses him by name.

Aside from the flashback in 104, the last person he can be seen talking to is Takada. His last words were "And I don't want to hear a peep, got it?"

The vibes at Wammy´s House must have been so weird during that year L was working on the Kira case. I don´t think anyone actually thought L would die any time soon before he started to work on the Kira case. So, the kids were working towards a rather abstract goal of eventually taking over as L at some point in the far future – but nothing concrete. However, then L starts working on the Kira case and obviously they aren´t being told much, but they pick up some bits and pieces (because L does pull some rather public stunts eg. with Lind L. Tailor) and some rumours. Like, at some point the kids must have started their own conversation about how L is taking longer than usual to solve the case. What if L doesn´t catch Kira? What if Kira kills him? With other kids obviously being like, no it´s L – he will catch Kira. So, the abstract goal of becoming L´s successor became very real very fast. At some point the kids even start to speculate, if L had picked Near or Mello to become L after him. One day they wake up and Mello is gone and Near is leaving with people they have never seen before. Only after getting told, that L had died and that Near will start working on the Kira case. With L of all people getting killed by Kira, did any of the rest of the Wammy kids think Near would succeed to catch Kira? Or did they just assume he would eventually die as well? With Mello gone as well – did they start to speculate who´s going to be the next of them, who has to work on the Kira case? Were they scared of dying as well?

My submission to The Tortured Poets Department is this beautiful poem I wrote for my friend. I have redacted his name to protect his bodacious identity.

bleeding from the heart

uhh red camellia (love), zinnia (thoughts of absent friends), heliotrope (devotion)

for chuuya week day 2: flower language ^^

my favorite form of love is being loved without feeling like i was begging for it

"Dazai's scared to love Chuuya" Sure maybe but WHAT ABOUT CHUUYA BEING SCARED TO LOVE DAZAI????

Y'all don't bring up how scary it is to love someone who's suicidal, shit's terrifying. Now imagine 16 Chuuya bitching to Koyo about Dazai and she's like "you could just ask him out, would that be the worst thing?" and Chuuya just barreling into a rant about how he doesn't want to let himself care like that when he had to pull Dazai out if the river two days ago.

all of my haters want to see me bound bled and crucified for my misdeeds. my paramours also want to see me bound bled and crucified for my misdeeds but they get hard when they think about it so it;s fine

hey you're doing a great job, just remember: a semicolon can be used to combine two sentences where you might otherwise use a period; this allows you to create longer and longer run-on sentences
