Shameless Multishipper

There are so many great lines from LA:BB that I will never ever get over but i think this one is my favourite for a few reasons- this is said about halfway through the book in the narration, clearly meant to be foreshadowing that Beyond will in fact not be able to kill himself at the end, because as the passage later says, ‘humans are not designed to die that easily’. Naomi stops him, and he is later killed by Kira. 

But I miss my old english lit class, so i also want to talk about how there are two other main things I read from this line that make me love it so much:

These words are said in the narration as explicitly Mello. The style is the same as he uses in the introduction, he addresses the reader (who he imagines is either Near or Kira), and generally he mentions things that would only make sense outside the context of the narrative. The way he discusses killing someone, as a character we know for a fact  beheaded someone as a 17 year old, is so interesting. I feel like he’s talking from experience, you know? Like that one line is Mello slipping something personal into the text. It feels very vulnerable. He’s admitting that it wasn’t actually easy to kill however many people he did, no matter his attitude at the time; it had a physical toll, and i’d 100% say a mental one on him too. Which also leads me into point number two:

Is everything alright, My Lady? I'm fine. It's late. You should go to bed.

I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.
