Run Rabbit, Run

Dear Mello

– "Mello, if you want to shoot me, shoot"

Watari *looking at L's notepad*: You doodled your wedding invitation.

L: No, that's our joint tombstone.

Watari: My mistake.

(emeto under the cut) Happy weaponize your big brothers religous guilt and internalized homophobia sunday

all panels are edited by me (keehlophiliac/mellophiliac). not a professional. i try my best to match the original art style. vibes based updates. i believe in the collective ownership of the means of production in umsr (united mello socialist republics). the love of mello shall not be contained in the hands of few. so the images can be downloaded by fellow melloist comrades for personal use and the greater good of melloism. i go by keehlophiliac/mellophiliac on other platforms as well. i started this project after being unable to find the raw death note manga. currently intending to slowly go through all mello panels in the manga, but you can dm me to request that i priorotize specific manga panels. here are some of the black-and-white ones i edited thus far. i don't really know how to use tumblr, so i may not be that active.

These guys keep appearing in my head while I am trying to sleep and I have to get up and draw so I can properly rest, damn...

Well, headcanon time!!! I kinda enjoy that "religious Mello" theory.

Listen, what if: Mello is religious, though not in the sense of believing that "God created the universe"; rather, for him, it is something more personal—something that guides his morality and also soothes his fear of death and of existence itself lacking a purpose.

So, upon joining the mafia and starting to do things that are clearly questionable, he clings to his beliefs, convincing himself somehow that it will all be worth it in the end—even though he knows full well that his ultimate goal is quite selfish...
