What's in your bag - M2 edition

Man, that was a challenge. So many things I wanted to include but didn't cause I had to stop somewhere :'(

Ivanka (Mello's mum) keeps packing him disproportionate amounts of food Mello doesn't even like. Matt is happy to take it all though.

Imagine their backpacks... full of dirt, crumpled papers, some poor fruit that was forgotten over the holidays, ...

I'm so fucking hilarious

[princessuncertain]

Honestly I don't even think you need to add HCs making Wammy's abusive to explain the behaviour of, say, Mello. I feel like the fact that Roger hated children tells you how well watari picked the staff. You can raise children theoretically perfectly, but if they're not loved or wanted, they'll still be fucked up

Wammy’s House Mello

Mello and Nears relationship

Keep in mind that I am a Meronia and Mellodramatic shipper, nothing said is meant to insult and or start a ship war this is merely an analysis on Mello and Near with a splash of Matt.

Whenever we look for people’s description on Mello and Nears relationship you’ll hear “sibling rivalry” or “close sibling rivalry” but I firmly believe against this. I believe that they just have a rivalry more so than any type of sibling relationship, I have multiple reasons for this but I’ll start off on the differences between a rivalry and a sibling rivalry.

There’s no doubt in my mind that a ton of people don’t know these terms in its full scope. “Rivalry is the act of competing for the same thing against another person.” it’s essentially two people with a common goal going against each other to be able to win in a sense. If you want to compare the definition of an actual non-sibling rivalry you can use pop culture references easily like Beatles vs. Rolling Stones, or Taylor Swift and Kanye West but for anime/manga you can use a ton Bakugou Katsuki and Izuku Midoryia, Reiner Braun and Eren Yeager these are four examples of a rivalry.

They don’t hold a key thing that changes this dynamic drastically, they don’t perceive themselves or are related in any way. Bakugou and Deku were childhood friends who grew up with their mothers being friends, with the same goal, and being two sides of the same coin. They are very intertwined characters who aren’t siblings but their rivalry holds a ton of power and history. Their rivalry is very relevant to the plot of My Hero Academia.

But sibling rivalries add a different type of complexity to a typical rivalry, one that you can’t ignore and is crucial to the plot of their entire relationship. You can’t understand a sibling rivalry without analyzing the sibling part of the rivalry as it changes things especially on multiple levels. Near and Mello if they were siblings it would change their entire characters and these changes aren’t within the story at the moment.

Popular sibling rivalries include Shoto Todoroki, Toya (Dabi) Todoroki, All For One And Yoichi Shigaraki are both My Hero Academia sibling rivalries. With the comprehension we have between these different duos we can see that Mello and Near do NOT share the same key traits as a sibling rivalry.

AFO and Yoichi have multiple monologues, a past, a mother, and history that's sibling aligned. They literally have an entire arc about their childhood and how AFO being who he was affected their blood relationship and how dysfunctional they were despite being brothers due to set morals, physical strength, a society with quirks and more while Mello and Near do not share this. It’s the same with Toya and Shoto, their arcs together surround how their upbringing as siblings affected each other and their bonds.

Mello and Near fit nicely into the rivalry portion but not within the sibling portion of it which makes it hard to actually see them as siblings when you read into the characters.

Wammys did NOT raise siblings, they raised L’s. They raised detectives, geniuses who are so numb that from young ages they can deal with literal extreme crimes. Mello and Near were raised not to bond, but to be rivals competing with the title of L. They were not raised to “bond” or become “L together” they were raised to become L, nothing more or less. They’re time at Wammys isn’t really told but we know that this is the entire ass point of the orphanage. In Wateris character description it’s said that he likes to produce detectives. 

There’s nothing within the entire manga that shows Mello and Nears “sibling” aspects that I could find other than a care for Mello by Near that’s rarely reciprocated by Mello. Mello and Near did get raised within the same orphanage, same idol, and same goal but so did Matt, Linda, the multiple other unnamed kids, Beyond Birthday, and A that’s not the most important part of Mello and Near being raised together at Wammys, the goal of Wammys is what’s important. 

Near was a very closed off child, he was isolated by choice even if he did enjoy other peoples company and needed support. Do you think that he truly would’ve reached out and tried to make friends? No, he didn’t. Linda tries multiple times to invite Near to play with her only to receive a no in a panel, and others around her already know his answer to this question as he never says yes. He’s isolated from anybody else and so from understanding you can understand that Near was isolated at Wammys and never bonded with Mello in any sibling form, most likely their only interactions were them studying, looking at scores and Mello possibly being aggressive. That’s it. 

Near did know Mello well though, he understood Mello and I think that’s because they’re so intertwined due to trying to be L, they’re intertwined characters but not in a sibling sense. Near understood and enjoyed Mellos presence, he didn’t care about the competition of L, he was happy to work with Mello but Mello wasn’t.

Mello in Wammys was clearly aggressive and also isolated. I doubt that it’s the same isolation as Near, as he had Matt. We love Matt here, we support him. But Mello dedicated almost all his time studying, he dedicated himself to the grind of becoming L from a young age and when he was out-shined by Near he put even more time into his study so it’s easy to see that Mello possibly just wanted to study and become L so that was a part of why he was isolated. 

I fear that this is getting too long but all in all everything about Near and Mellos relationship doesn’t signify “siblings” but a typical rivalry. And that’s fine, they don’t need to be romantic partners, nor siblings they can be but they don’t have to but Near and Mello were not written to be brothers and I will die on this hill. The creators are homophobic so obviously not romantically written. 

In my eyes Mello and Matt show much more sibling-esque relationship than Mello and Near but that’s possibly as Mello and Matt have a much more on those sibling relationship that I can perceive from short screen time from Matt. I wish we saw more of Matt though.
