4 hours of train trip tomorrow, ofc I'll optimistically charge my Kindle and even pack my Robotics lectures slides (☠️) ignoring the hard fact that I've felt insanely sleepy right after ONE minute of every long train trip of my life, and only managed to stare at the window with music in my earphones, completely zoned out in drowsiness

The thing about me (I took this from my father) is that I'm petty about adaptions/pointless sequels I don't like. Star Wars? The franchise with exactly six movies? Yeah, big fan 😊 I looove Peter Jackson's LotR movies! That's too bad no one decided to adapt The Hobbit as well, or even some parts from The Silmarillion! :(( More great movies TRILOGIES? Pirates of the Caribbean and the Matrix Saga! It's almost like 3 is the perfect number ahah 😊 And man, I wish we could have a tv show about Fire and Blood by George R. R. Martin, because Game of Thrones was so good! Also, what a pity that no one ever, ever made an animated adaption of my fav manga Death Note. They never made movies or shows about it, just a musical! Yeah... 😇 And also... I don't remember what I was into between the age of 9 to 13... some stuff about wizards? Idk, it seems unlikely. Maybe it was just all a bad fever dream.

But sometimes I get to taste my own medicine since my dad is a "Star Wars has only THREE movies" truther ☠️

so like, why didn't mello kidnap light instead of takada? he knew that light was kira and L and since he was tailing mogi, he should've known where light's HQ was. Why would he kidnap someone who's connected to kira instead of just kidnapping kira directly?

Thank you so much for this ask because for the first time in my whole life, I have understood Mello’s plan. For 12 years now I have been utterly baffled by what it was that Mello is attempting and I got it now. I finally understand the last piece of Death Note that never made any sense to me. THANK YOU.

So let’s trace what Mello knows…

Mello knows that Light is Kira/L and that Takada is connected to him, obviously. He also knows Near’s plan is to have his name written in a Death Note to prove that Light is Kira - but he doesn’t know about Mikami. It is unclear if that means he doesn’t know there is an X-Kira or if he just doesn’t know Mikami is X-Kira. I think it is the latter, because then we can make the Takada kidnapping make sense.

If Mello is aware that Light is not presently using any notebook (as he is constantly watched by the task force), then that means he knows an unknown third will have to write Near’s name. He’s also smart enough to conclude Takada is likely the link through which Light and X-Kira communicate.

The only statement of intent we ever get from Mello is this vague thought. We only know he thinks the kidnapping should be a catalyst for something. 

I assume he is trying to catch two birds with one stone - in the triangle of Kiras he kidnaps the one person who he thinks DOESN’T have access to a notebook. The one person he thinks WON’T be able to kill him, but who DOES have enough incriminating information on Kira and X-Kira that it will force both of them to act. And not only will it force them to act, it will force them to act without contacting each other and coordinating with each other. If Kira or X-Kira have an ace in the hole, now both would use it and reveal it to Near.

Where Mello fails is the assumption that Takada won’t be able to kill him. Of course, he takes safety measures by making her strip, but ultimately he is lenient enough to give her the blanket because he thinks she has no Death Note paper whatsoever.

He certainly planned to force the Kiras to make a move, but he thought that only Takada would be killed while he himself gets away.

is there something specific that inspired you to set some of your fanfictions in Italy? (especially Constantly on Fire + the flashback in A Normal Year and that part of I Die and Leave You Alone)

interesting question! it depends on which of these fics you're talking about:

normal year: hate to say it but i really can't remember, i think i chose italy more or less at random.. i do remember picking "emilia-romagna" as the district they're in because i liked how the name sounded, so that's about as deep as it gets there

IDALYA: i intended it to be a direct sequel to "normal year" and so it inherited the location from there

constantly on fire: this one had 2 very specific inspirations: "Call Me By Your Name" and the 2nd book of Ferrante's Neapolitan Quartet, specifically the Ischia bits (both of these take place in italy). it's a bit difficult if you've never read or seen the (excellent) screen adaptations of either of these, but there is a very languid mood sort of shot with facets of desire that to me just perfectly sums up adolescence.. i was 100% trying to emulate the tone of both these works. crow behaviour of filching shiny things it likes to put in its own nest :)

in particular if you've ever read "Call Me By Your Name" (the novel), this run from the fic is like a little homage:

"At once Mello regretted the harsh tone—why did he speak like that? Why was that all he was capable of? Was it the bartender, the beach, the golden skin where his stayed pale, the way nobody noticed him, the smell of calamine, his insufficient Italian accent, the accident of his birth, God, failure, and all the rest?"

that run-on is extremely elio-coded..

in short i'd recommend the novels, the movie, the TV show, or any combination thereof. no moneyback guaranteed but i loved them all very much :)
