#abused and used him and will now destroy him. just. augh.

[tfw-no-tennis]

hhhhhhxh

more abt hxh bc my last post was too long n i had to split it off holla

so i left off talking abt when gon woke up....i love how polite gon is to pretty much everyone - hes such a good lad all the time. s/o to his aunt for raising him right (tho i think hes also just a rlly good boy inherently too)

also is he named gon bc ging was like ha ha im boutta be GONe lol seeya kid!!!! like ????

i find it interesting that kurapika and hisoka fought....we really havent seen them interact at all yet. also hisoka is so smirk-y i hate that bitch...what did he say to kurapika?????? 

this poor red shirt old guy lmao hisoka is SO clearly uninterested in fighting him and then he fucking dies. rip mdude

what did hisoka whisper to HIM??? guess we’ll never know #RIPLegend

oh mannnn if killua had just won against pokkle then he wouldnt have had to deal with illumi doing That to him :( my smug son......

leorio is such a good dude....also its so funny to me how tall and lanky leorio is, espec compared to the other 3 main characters lmaoooo

or maybe those 3 are just rlly short??? i mean gon and killua are literally 12, but whats kurapikas excuse

GODDDD I HATE THIS BIIIIITCH. FUCK OFFFFFFF tho the evil piano music slaps. but jeeeeesus illumi is so creepy and awful, and seeing him take off his disguise is not any better a second time...he and hisoka truly deserve each other wrow

does illumi have hair powers??? cause it kinda looks like it. or maybe hes just gay and dramatic 

ok but the sick electric guitar riff (?) that played when illumis face was revealed was lowkey kinda hilarious

man i was so wrong abt killua knowing that that was illumi :( poor kid

killua is immediately freaking out and meanwhile illumi looks bored as hell. dude ur the worst 

killua: [freaking out] illumi, completely blank-faced: hey 

I HATE HIMMMM even tho his catman design is regrettably kinda cute

why do illumi and hisoka both have such snatched waists i hate this

wtf so killua has another different brother??? i assumed he attacked illumi....how many fuckgin zoldyk sibling are there?????

leorio ur too normie for this conversation lmao. also wow fucked up family huh

killua looks so like...small and helpless, which is so at odds from what we’ve seen of him so far :( this poor kid

illumi totally has some weird brain powers man callin it now 

gon: wow killuas family sounds wack...  satotz: oh lmao you havent even heard the rest 

KILLUA ;_; 

this poor baby assassin :( :( :(

IMMM INCONSOLABLE. HE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS W/GON.......ARE YOU KIDDING....AUGHHHHHHHH

meanwhile gon decided he and killua are BEST FRIENDS like 10 mins after they met. GOD 

like in the recap ep he called killua his best friend ;_; and meanwhile killua doesnt even think they ARE friends god destroy me 

this calming classical music is throwing me off vbhjfjhbsdkgndks

i sense that leorio and kurapika are rapidly acquiring a new son

DAMN THIS IS SO FUUUUCKEDDDDD illumi is such a crusty bitch wow. leave killua alone asshole 

all that stuff abt killua like, only thinking he wants to befriend gon but really wanting to kill him....that sure sounds like some ‘worst fears’ type of shit for someone like killua....illumi is such a classic abuser wow

i have 2 know is satotz like, repeating this entire conversation verbatim in a calming monotone to gon rn. like....

LEORIOOOOO I LOVE UUUUUUUU AUGHHHH him telling killua it doesnt matter if illumi is his brother, fuck that guy, beat him up as usual and leave.....ooooughhhh leorio is such a good dude ;_; 

and the OF COURSE him saying the obvious - that gon and killua are ALREADY friends....i love this, i feel like leorio said all the exact things the audience is thinking...yet it still didnt get thru to killua bc hes so rattled by illumi appearing, and the abuse in general 

i think if gon were there things wouldve gone much differently 

of COURSE crusty bitch illumi is like oh ok now i have to kill gon.....biiiiitch i hate uuuuu 

also that just shows that hes lying to killua (which we already knew obvs), bc if it were inevitable that killua would kill gon to like, test himself or w/e, then why not just wait for that to happen? that would have a much bigger impact on killua than illumi killing gon....its obvious that illumi is just manipulating him, but killua is too BSOD to be able to tell (also, hes 12)

ok bitch illumi is preaching abt not needing friends but he and hisoka are definitely fucking and theyve been teamed up for the entire hunter exam it seems.....what a hypocrite. hate this guy

god im so glad we didnt rlly get to see whatever the fuck illumi did to that random hunter examiner guy’s face. jeeeeesus. also i cant tell but i wonder if him forcing that info out of the guy was the result of his freaky mind powers or if the guy was just like oof ouch pins in me face

LEORIO AND KURAPIKAAAA THE PROTECT GON SQUAD!! and joined by new member hanzo!!! who ironically beat gon up for 3 hours str8 like, a very short amount of time ago lmao. but still i love that sm

illumi u dumb bitch.....tho i dont buy for a minute that he didnt already realize that killing gon would disqualify him...he defs just wanted to get under killuas skin even more :^( 

KILLUAAAA ;_; when he goes to step back from illumi but illumi tells him not to....ughhh HATE this guy, leave this poor kid alone. no wonder he wanted to leave

illumi saying theres only 1 way that killua can stop him - does he mean by killing him, or something more specific, like some forbidden zoldyk murder technique? 

‘your beloved gon’ wow gay. theyre 12 and theyre dating ok. killua is literally that kid whos like wow i wonder if gon likes me...and meanwhile gon is like wow cant believe me and killua have been dating for 3 months now

leorio saying ‘we wont let him kill you or gon’ ;_; leorio ily sm...thats like the exact right thing to say - hes offering protection and reassurance as an adult figure...unfortunately killua is clearly too freaked out to even process anything outside of illumis gaslighting and abuse 

also illumi is defs doing something to killua w/his eyes via his freaky mind powers. js

illumi i hate you stop being weirdly cute. augh 

classic abuse tactics, being like ha ha nvm i wasnt gonna kill gon! jk!

killua just shutting down completely after that :( :( noooo

and then he kills that old guy and leaves, ‘proving’ that illumi is right....noooooOOOO

and now we boutta see gon go FULL shounen protag for the first time, oh FUCKKKKKK yesssss

this is the first time we’ve seen gon angry oooh man and of COURSE its on killuas behalf,....im so fuckign emo already looooord

god ok the episode preview where its gon saying ‘do leorio and i look alike?’ YES U DO LOL youre father and son so jot that down 

oof, gon and illumi have such fundamentally different POVs on like, family and life and morals, and you can tell by their 4-line exchange before gon does the ICONIC one-handed grab’n’fling

AUGHHHH gon saying hes gonna rescue killua....SO good...he recognizes that killuas family is wack as hell and killua shouldnt be w/them - the classic ingrained ‘found family is more important than blood family’ stuff

tho thats an interesting contrast to gon himself, whos looking for his deadbeat dad

‘but it wasnt his choice’ that so good ily gon BEST boy, hes so perceptive and good......he knows that killuas hand was forced and that he needs to be RESCUED (love that word choice) from his shitty abusive family

of course kurapika and leorio voiced complaints ;_; best parents 

kurapika should be a lawyer tbh 

leorioooo ;_; such a good dude, saying he should be disqualified instead 

HOW is leorio a stronger combatant than that old dude hvbajufjbsja that guy had some moves it seemed, and leorio has,....a knife? a briefcase? the classic premed attitude of ‘fuck it, i could die anytime, lets do this’? like.....cmon vhabjdfjbhsf i refuse to believe this man is of any use in a fight. ill believe it when i see it

pokkle pls ur not plot-important enough to be jumping into this convo rn

tho i am curious abt what hisoka said to kurapika. tho i agree that thats irrelevant to the discussion 

gon repeating satotz’s wisdom :’) and saying that killua will definitely pass if he takes the exam again...ough

gon is SO GOOD i cant get over it !!!!!!!!! AUGHHHH....recusing killua from his abusive family and making it so killua never has to see them again is like...so good. what a good good perfect boy.

also thats like, the perfect response to this. killing illumi would just start a ton of drama, and killua would be conflicted abt that....but removing killua from his situation is perfect 

ok ive ranted a lot ill talk abt the rest later woohoo

PREDICTIONS: 

i predict that hisoka will show up in this upcoming zoldyk arc somewhere bc illumis gonna be in it (i assume) and theyre dating. also hisoka is a central character so itd make sense for him to show up in the second major arc. tho tbh this could end up being completely false and i wouldnt be that shocked lmao

i think leorio is gonna get Big Sad someday bc hes like, so normal compared to the other MCs, and also hes suuuuch a bleeding heart (i love him....) so i feel like thats gonna lead to some sadness for him once his friends start doing crazy shit or w/e 

also i predict that if he gets nen itll be like healing nen or st. does that even exist??? idk jack shit abt nen lmao 

i think that illumi has hypnosis powers or something, even just based on design alone. it could defs be for aesthetic (character design in hxh is wild), but his eyes look noticeably different from any other characters. also he was doing some freaky shit to killua. also i held this prediction before seeing the part where this is brought up so we’ll see if its right lmao 

as for this upcoming arc -  ruth and i are wondering if itll be similar to the vinsmoke drama in one piece - character goes back to abusive family, squad goes to rescue them...and then character refuses to be recused. w/sanji it was partially bc the vinsmokes threatened to kill zeff, his TRUE dad, but i predict in this case it could be more like the zoldyks saying ‘look killua these 3 weirdos showed up looking for you, convince them to leave or we’ll kill them’ and killua will be like, oh shit bc like.....think abt it. the vinsmokes targeted zeff (and not the strawhats) bc they knew they could easily kill him. same goes here, i assume - a family of trained assassins vs Good Good Fishing Rod Smell-Power Boy (who hasnt thrown a single punch yet), Lanky Dr Man With A Switchblade We Havent Seen Him Use Onscreen, and Mx 2 Wooden Sticks, Bloodlust, and Arachnophobia - 3 For 1 Deal! its a no-contest. so thats one thing i could see happening, potentially 

im way too tired to remember my other predictions rip lmao

Supergirl - S5 E7 - Tremors

Why wouldn't you use your inception contacts on your would be assassin from a shadow organization? Wait, Lex never found the Fortress?  Didn't he though?  Does Lena just not know this?  I could have sworn Tess was there too....

I know, I know, Mitch Pileggi has done a lot other things besides X-Files; and typecasting is a terrible thing.  But not matter what else I see him in, or even if I like his other roles, he'll always be Walter Skinner. What's with the Millennial jibes so far in this episode?  First, Skinner's girlfriend makes a crack about "the Snowflake generation," which seemed random; and then Brainiac comments about Self-culture.  These seems like pointless asides; especially considering you don't need "self-culture" to have footage of the Leviathan attack, when it occurs at a fucking press conference or whatever the hell Lena was doing out there at a podium that she made some poor intern schlep out there for.  You're telling me know one was taking video or photos for this purpose? Noah's flood? For someone who's spent so much time convincing the world he doesn't exist, there's still a surprisingly significant paper trail following him throughout history. But come on, dinosaurs went extinct roughly 65 million years ago and humans did begin to appear until roughly between 5-7 million years ago - that's a hell of a gap to just hang around on earth being the literal lord of the flies....and tiny rodents, etc. Man, either Kara's really dumb or Lena's a truly master manipulator; and I just can't decide whi.....Kara's really dumb.  Seriously, it was bad enough when Lena tricked her into stealing Lex's diary from lock-up; now she's giving away trade secrets left and right. Okay, I admit, under any other circumstances it shouldn't seem so unusual for Kara to be so trusting of a friend as to take them to the Fortress; she's done it before.  Yet knowing what we know, Lena doesn't even seem to be trying that hard and Kara's just giving her everything she wants; and perhaps the most frustrating part is Lena being oblivious to the fact that Kara is willing to be that open and trusting of Lena and it's actually Lena who is abusing the trust in their relationship. "You're going to need a jacket." Come on Kara.... you could just help keep her warm..... 🤷‍♂️ Alex: Hey, this guy we've been looking for who's just casually out in the open where anybody and everybody who's looking for can find him; and he's not moving.  I guess we're just lucky and should continue to approach him with abandon.  On an unrelated note, did you know that the only answer I got wrong on my covert agents exam was the definition of the word "booby trap"?  Something about the word "booby" made my mind wander; and in hindsight, realizing my attraction to women probably shouldn't have come quite so much as a surprise to me.  What's that Brainy?  What do you mean, "bomb"?  I didn't bomb the test.  I told you, the only answer I got wrong was booby trap....haha....booby......" Do I regret the sophomoric turn this review has taken? Not really, no. Augh, this is, for the most part, not a criticism of the show per se, and it is what it is, because it's not like they're establishing something new, it's how they've always depicted the Fortress, but I am so sick and tired of every iteration of the Fortress of fucking Solitude looking like the Fortress from the Christopher Reeve movie.  It was fine for the time; especially given the logistical and budgetary concerns that necessitated making Krypton a frozen wasteland in that movie.  But God I hate the randomly strewn crystal spikes design.  I hated when they used it on Smallville and I hate it now.  This is supposed to be the architecture of an advanced race. How the hell does Papa J'Onzz know all of this about J'Onn's brother Steve?  Ostensibly Papa J is just some sort of psychic echo of J'Onn's father inside J'Onn's mind; meaning that he actually knows all of these things and he's essentially having a conversation with his subconscious, being told things he already knows and some of it he shouldn't be able to know.... I'm so glad the Fortress computer specified the Lex Luthor that was brother to Lena Luthor; otherwise I would have assume he was talking about the stockpile of Kryptonian killing weapons created by Lex Luthor, the CPA from Secaucus, New Jersey..... So Jarhanpur was a sister planet of Krypton?  Why?  That system seems to have been really fucking crowded, between Krypton, Daxom and now Jarhanpur. Man, Kara's really booty blinded by Lena; that's the best I can figure out. I'd have given anything for Lena to say, "Lex designed that to fit underneath his many mirkins...." "If there's one weapon I could destroy, it'd be that one." So why fucking don't you? Kelly: "I can't....." Yay!!!!!!!!!    🤸🕺🕺🤸 I mean..... awwwwwwwweeee............noooooo......say it ain't so............ Jesus, Leviathan apparently has the same security as Team and Arrow and STAR Labs.... What the fuck difference does it make whether it's the Fortress or Earth?  A) That's not how matter works, and B) Wrath of Kahn isn't from Earth to begin with - you just said he's from a sister planet of fucking Krypton! I absolutely expected Lena to use her inception lenses to make Kara forget their whole conversation. The scene between J'Onn and his brother was okay; a little maudlin, a few times it felt more like a soap opera; and I feel like they could have done more with Malefic's glimpse into J'Onn's mind. Oh, good, Alex and Kelly are making up.....I'm.....so.....happy.......(sigh)
