Why I like them

Well, for a manga filled to brim with aloof unsociable geniuses, he's very refreshing. He's also among the easiest characters to empathize with. I also like that underneath all that leather and violence, there seems to be a decent human being that is capable of charming a person like Halle, expressed real remorse over Yagami's death, and actually lent Takada some human dignity. As I get older and start seeing more and more like a kid, I realize how tremendously cunning and gifted he was and that it's just awful how a young kid with all that burning potential could just die so senselessly.

Why I don’t

Well, he lets his emotions get the better of him a lot of the time and that can be frustrating to witness. And, um, Near doesn't exactly choose his words wisely or tactfully around Mello which doesn't help but I kinda get the feeling that a lot of the Mello/Near rivalry is fabricated from Mello's side, born from and kindled by his insecurities. I feel sad for Mello but I feel like it isn't fair to thrust that upon Near (especially if he might be autistic). It's also not fair to himself either, letting one person bring out the worst in him. Near, though, seems to be understanding in his own way. Too bad Mello can't see that. :((((

Favorite episode/scene

He didn't have much time to shine in the anime, sadly but they did a wonderful job with this scene since it I think it speaks volumes about who he is.

Favorite line

"Then I guess I'm going to have to do it."

It's cryptic and there's a finality in those words, but I've also used them as a personal motto whenever I felt nervous, lazy or uneasy about doing something.

Favorite outfit

This, forever and ever.

OTP

Hmm... I'm of the opinion that courting a Mello/winning his heart is a difficult thing and not something he'd have active interest in (it'd probably happen by accident) when there's a goal he has to complete first, but Mello/Near and Mello/Halle. The former because it's interesting and uh because neer is involved and the latter because idk I like how they got along.

Non-romantic OTP

Matt and Mello, though I'm kinda warming up to them as a ship again just a bit. Also Mello and Near again...

Headcanon

Mello's inferiority complex stems from the way his parents had abandoned him. Unconsciously, he wants to be the best so that he'd be worthy of their love.

Unpopular opinion

Despite wearing that cross Mello identifies as agnostic. The cross is more a good luck charm more than anything.

A wish for them

That he'd not be so preoccupied with being the best though that's probably like wishing for 2+2 to not equal 4.

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen for them

But it’s already happened… ;_; My god, back in 2007 when I was watching the episodes as they came out, I was so anxious and weepy. "Is this it? Will this be the episode? When they both..." I was just a crying machine. In the shower, in my blanket, without any provocation, just tears. Just utterly ruined. I almost look upon that time with bewilderment. I think a fic I read encompassing Mello's life was probably to blame for turning those feelings into the blazing inferno that they were because it hammered into me just how unfair it was that someone so incredible could die so young, without tying up his loose ends (Matt included).

Five words to best describe them

Tragic, Bold, Beautiful, Passionate, Chivalrous (Nears are exempt)

My nickname for them

Plain old ‘Mello’ really
