Description
Near's sock puppet is happy, but he doesn't look happy, himself. 
Ballpoint drawing I did really quick this evening...it's my favorite Near picture of the evening (I drew four others.)Near is from the anime/manga Death Note, and belongs to Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
I give permission to the clubs I'm in to re-post this in their galleries and link back to the original.

I just found this one, I thought I had all of your stuff...I like it, it's perfectly reasonable, since most people do something similar with their toys when their younger anyway, why not Near? Of course, I didn't use sock puppets when I was a kid...I love it, great expression and a good concept. Faved, saved, and filed!

LOL...well the difference is that Near ISN'T a child here, he's an adult! 
I didn't use sock puppets as a kid, either...I was too busy making bows and arrows in the orchard by cutting down saplings.
After I drew this picture, I found a cute comic by ~hitohai that has L playing with sock puppets.

I've been there...not in an orchard, but I've made my share of bows and arrows.

Because of my older brother, a few of my G.I. Joes ended up on the grill and thoroughly roasted. I don't think I've ever blown up a toy. I'm too sentimental now to do that to any of my old toys (I still carry them around with me...most of them were gifts and I think that means something, so I don't get rid of them).

Awww, why is Near not happy? Perhaps because the sock puppet is taking over his hand, thus keeping him from playing with toys in both hands. Oh poor Near!

Happy huh...like all of his creepy finger puppets. O.O

Though the sock puppet isn't creepy happy...just happy!

The best kind of sock puppet there is! If someone handed that to me I'd play with it (in costume or not).

I don't think I'll ever grow out of toys. I want to get a 1000 piece Lego set and try to build a robot out of them. I have a concept and design, but I need the actual Legos to do it. I think it would be awesome to be able to build a robot with moving limbs without adding anything electrical into it (by using hinges or round wheels in the arms/legs of the lego robot).
I had a friend who could do stuff like that, without batting an eyelash. He built such a robot in the 8th grade, but it got destroyed by the kids who stayed after school for a program.

I say there's no age limit on toys and having fun just for the sake of having fun. Because of this, I am at ease in cosplay, and so apparently I get mistaken for a high schooler a lot despite being in my 20s.
Aww, poor robot.

Haha, it's so much fun to cosplay! Recently, I bought a yo-yo and I am looking up how to do different tricks online. It would be a hilarious sight to see a yo-yoing Near cosplayer
Yes, may the robot...dare I say...rest in pieces

Awww, Near with a yo-yo! That's one I haven't seen yet. XD You'll take pictures posing with the yo-yo, I hope? A bright red one seems fitting somehow, in the classic toy feel of a red wagon and red ball and such. Hmm. Maybe it's subconsciously similar to Death Note's theme of apples?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will! Though the yo-yo I happen to have isn't red...though I want one!
But yes I shall take pictures! I actually just ordered a remote control for my camera...so maybe I'll be able to take some better pics?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Any color will do, red is just the one that popped to mind when I thought of yo-yos. Maybe that just means my mind has been exposed to red yo-yos more than others? XD; Anyway, a camera remote sure sounds fun! Where did you order yours? I've always wanted to experiment with some camera equipment/techniques beyond just pressing the shutter button.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think when people think of yo-yos, they think of pretty solid ones...like a wagon or a kite.
I actually ordered mine online from the manufacturer of my camera (I have a Panasonic) though those tend to be a little pricy. I just didn't want to risk the remote not working with the camera.

XD If it was at a dollar store, why did it cost two dollars and not one? 
Ah, cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I wasn't sure if I clarified or not, but it was a Dollar General store (or maybe it was Family Dollar). Dollar General stores basically mean that although most stuff is a dollar, there are some things that aren't only one dollar. That doesn't mean they are better quality...
Ah! So you have an epically amazing camera...mine is a fairly cheap camera (not too cheap). It's a Panasonic with a really awesome touch interface...I love it so much!

He looks a lot like L. XD I'm loving his expression. Is it odd that I can totally imagine him doing that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD It's not odd at all--he plays with finger puppets, why not sock puppets?
As for him looking like L...

I have to see that pic. It sounds awesome! XD

It is! Here's a link: [link] (I recommend you read this entire comic series--they're hilarious, and there are English translations for every one. XDD I especially love the 'tooth fairy' one and the one about shopping. Keep an eye out for those if you check any others out--they'll make you sputter for sure!)

Yes, it kind seems like something he would actually do too XD
