#drawing wild conclusions based on no evidence except what is in my heart

[ungeese]

It’s pretty weird that the comic Sora Warrior of the Sea had such specific details about Germa right?

Like even choosing to name the protagonist SORA! How many people knew the queen of Germa was working against her husband’s experiments? I doubt it was a lot! So why name the warrior who fights Germa after her?

And Stealth Black is in the comics! Accurate enough that Law recognized Sanji when he transforms for the first time! Who would have even known there were 4 princes? One was supposed to have died young! Way before he received his combat suit!

So someone on the inside who hated Germa enough to make them the villains, wanted to honor the fight Sora made against the alterations to her children, but also still considered Sanji one of them enough to include him in the line up?

Literally only Reiju could have written Sora warrior of the sea, is what I’m saying.

Secret Mangaka Reiju-sensei taking all the emotions she has to pretend she doesn’t feel every day and turning them into a hit high octane Shonen Manga.

Virgo Personality Traits (21 SECRETS)

Do you ever think about what makes Virgos so different?

If you’re a Virgo, you are often viewed as a person who has high standards but the reality is that there is so much more to Virgo personality than what people know.

I am going to help you discover the 21 personality secrets that make a Virgo the kind of person they are.

1. Virgo support their words with consistent actions

Virgos make sure that their words are in step with their actions. They walk the talk. They set goals and stay on course to ensure that they will ultimately get their desired results.

2. Virgo is skilled in articulating issues and getting solutions for complex problems

Virgo is an intuitive and analytical thinker and ensures they get things right when solving problems.

They are methodical and ensure that they have all the facts before identifying a solution.

3. Virgo is irritated by clumsy people who lack skill in their work

A Virgo finds it hard to put up with unintelligent and unskilled people. It takes them great effort to avoid giving harsh criticism to such kind of people.

4. Virgo is a highly sensitive creature…although it is hard to notice

Virgos are emotional and easily moved by things even if you cannot easily notice it. They feel too deep at times but they avoid sharing about things that bother them.

5. Virgo is a stickler for perfection who strives for flawlessness

Virgos are intrinsically motivated to achieve their goals, and hold themselves up to high standards.

However, they set the bar exceedingly high to the extent that they can damage their health in the process.

6. Virgo has a secret adventurous side…. something that most people don’t know about

Although Virgos are known for being more of introverts than other zodiac signs, they show their wild side to close friends from to time to time.

7. Virgos are doubters who aren’t easily convinced about something unless there is enough prove

Virgo doesn't draw conclusions based on rumours or unfounded information. They use their own lens to filter information and rely on tangible evidence to inform their decisions.

8. Virgos have a mind of their own when it comes to discussing issues or making decisions

Virgo is opinionated and is not willing to compromise their beliefs when other people disagree with them.

They have a hard-line stance about things they truly believe in.

9. Virgos over-think and worry a great deal

Virgos are unable to quiet their mind so that they can avoid over-thinking everything. They should slow down and silence the constant barrage of thoughts.

10. Virgo loves with all their heart but steers clear of fights and disagreements

When a Virgo falls out with a partner, they are less likely to be the cause of the fight.

They know how to diffuse an argument even before it starts.

11. Virgo doesn’t let people walk all over them and aren’t afraid to say no

Virgos love a calm and peaceful life. But if you force them to change their mind, they will stick to their gun and do what they feel is right.

12. Virgos hate being reprimanded and don’t like others drawing wrong conclusions about them

A Virgo doesn’t appreciate when others try to find fault in their choices and the way they decide to live their life. They feel that they are not answerable to anyone else except themselves.

13. Virgo can be good at using authority especially when they need people to deliver results

Sometimes Virgos like giving people orders and make them work very hard. However, they have a knack for forming productive teams.  That’s why they also make good leaders.

14. Virgo is drawn to ambitious, self-assured and intelligent people

Nice looks and prettiness are not enough to attract a Virgo. You need to be ambitious; self- assured and intelligent to draw their attention.

15. Virgo can appear cold-hearted at times but they are just afraid of talking about their personal life

Virgo may sometimes be reserved and detached to those who are not part of their inner circle. They prefer to learn more about people before they open up to them.

16. Virgo is capable of controlling their emotions but also snap when things get out of hand

Virgo may deceive you with their outside demeanour that they are not bothered by something but they are suffering on the inside. The truth of the matter is they like resolving issues on their own.

17. Virgo loves neatness and avoids leaving places in a mess

Virgo is orderly, and keeps track of everything that they need to achieve and when. They are ultra-organized and remove all the unnecessary stuff on their way.

18. Virgo focus on purposeful activities and they avoid making hasty decisions

Virgo is more careful than other Zodiac signs in their decision-making process. They are extremely vigilant when deciding about important issues in their life.

20. Virgo is continuously putting effort to change their future for the better

Virgos never stop doing everything possible to improve their future and that of their family and friends. They are persistently looking for ways to make their dreams come true.

21. Virgo value true friends and are extremely loyal to them

Although Virgo takes a while before they share the details of their personal life with others. However, they give their loyalty to their most trusted friends and are always there for them.

Current Hibari characterization is butchered by the tyranny of the masses. Will you adapt? Or will you perish like a dog? *read more link* *10k meta essay*

how to write hibari????? I can't seem to grasp his character so any tips? 

show me the hibari meta. im ready 

i hate all of you

Entry level: 

Hibari's tendency towards animal metaphors isn’t ever made clear - he obviously considers them animal metaphors, considering his ‘bite you to death’ and how he frames crowds as herds, but their actual extent is up in the air.

However, what we do know about it is that Hibari uses the “herbivore” moniker specifically for cowards. If he hates someone who isn’t a coward, he gives them a title or nickname (like with Yamamoto, Reborn, and Gokudera, who he refers to by their most identifiable traits, Dino, who he gives a sarcastic nickname, or Xanxus, who he just straight-up insults). If he respects someone, he refers to them by their name. He does this to Yamamoto later in the story, and his future self does this for Tsuna. 

At no point does he ever refer to someone as a “carnivore”, because he respects brave warriors, and if someone is brave and strong enough to earn his good favour, they earn the privilege of being taken seriously, by being referred to as their given name.

Hibari currently refers to Yamamoto by his full name and Kusakabe Tetsuya by just his name. He might be taken to referring to Reborn and Shouichi by their names if endeared to them. It’s unclear how he’d refer to Gokudera. He’d never refer to Xanxus by his name because their desires are fundamentally at odds.

There’s a notable exception in Tsuna, who Hibari doesn’t really respect, but understands enough about his strength that he’s unwilling to call him a herbivore. Tsuna’s ingenuity and raw power outranks his “cowardice”, so Hibari would prefer to call him a Small Animal. Hibari also loves small animals and wants to care for them, so this is also pretty gay

I haven’t reread the series in a while so I’m missing a few details. But you know

Intermediate Level: 

He is just as much of a theatric edgelord as Mukuro is and thats why they can never get along. They both eat that “mortal enemies who cannot stop until the other is defeated” except they fundamentally misunderstand what the other considers a “mortal enemy” - Hibari’s objective is to Win, while Mukuro’s objective is to control, and both of them just misunderstand each other to be on the same page. If Hibari Won, he’d completely blow Mukuro off, because his mental dramatic character arc has been completed. Hibari and Mukuro are the edgy version of the Gokudera/Yamamoto dynamic and it’s a greatly underutilized comedy routine. How dare Amano reduce it to 1 panel in the Rainbow arc, like a coward

ANYWAY, Hibari is a fucking chuunibyou and since no one believes me I’m back with receipts

Volume 2, chapter 16:

Hibari talks a lot. He has something to say every time he’s prompted. It’s incredibly important to him that he’s the most important thing in the room and he has the respect of everyone around him, and having a dominant personality is key to that image. The difference between him and a Fucking Chuunibyou is theoretically nothing, but in execution it’s more that he makes good on his threats. 

But they’re still theatrics, because immediately after asserting dominance, he does this: 

His goal was just to dominate everyone with the minimum possible effort. Tsuna got smacked, so he’s been Adequately Dominated, but the other two fought back, so they needed to be knocked out. Since knocking out is dangerous, though, he’s made sure to take care of them afterwards.

Hibari isn’t a wild animal or anything. He meticulously cares for anyone he “bites”. If they’re fine, like Tsuna ends up being, he’s like “yeah, just sit on the couch for a second and rest for a little bit”. It’s only after Tsuna crosses him again that he goes back to violence. 

Hibari isn’t a rampaging delinquent, he’s a selfish asshole who associates violence with control, and that’s why he’s an abuse survivor in all my shitty AUs

But back to the theatrics and him being a chuuni fuck

Volume 6, Chapter 43: 

hhHFHAHGAHGSKJGKGSGKSHFAH

Hibari just, clearly likes peaceful time alone? Looking at the trees? There’s no reason for a human being to say shit like this without blinking unless they think it sounds cool. Hibari curates his self-image meticulously. 

Before I move on to exaggerate the point, here’s some other micrometas:

hibari is attractive enough to be sexually harassed by Hetscum, King Of The Restraining Orders, making him one of the only few characters explicitly handsome, which is important because Amano draws everyone hot and I need some sort of justification for the cold sweat I broke into when I saw 10YL Hibari for the first time

(also he looks like a pretentious nerd in these early chapters so its worth noting in general)

Hibari’s entire character arc is literally the fact that he has the exact same problem. It’s possible that the reason Dino pisses him off so much is because he feels embarrassed at the implication of hypocrisy. 

The fact these 2 expressions happen in abrupt sequence is so fucking funny I love him (also, proof again that he isn’t a wild violent animal intent on abusing others - being contradicted doesn’t anger him, he just assumes Winning will solve the problem, because, I’m sorry to say, Hibari is not a thinker, which I’ll get to later)

BACK TO THE CHUUNI ISSUE

Volume 5, Chapter 38: 

And then he doesn’t do anything to Tsuna.

I don’t even have to comment on this. Hibari’s just a weirdo

Volume 34, Chapter 330:

Hibari has, at this point, witnessed Tsuna recover from a snapped neck and kill god. He saw this with his own two eyes. Tsuna asserted dominance over the closest this series has to the literal devil, eater of dimensions, and he only a few chapters earlier explicitly told Tsuna that he respects him so much that to defeat him in battle is a grand ambition of his and complimented him on his ingenuity and specialized power.

Hibari is lying here. He is lying through his teeth. He has finally entered tsun territory. He knows this conflict is important to Tsuna and is affording it to him, but because he painstakingly maintains self-image, he has to make it out to seem like he’s doing this for entirely selfish motives. “Wait for you to be killed”? What could that possibly afford him? Nothing, but it sounds cool, so that’s what he goes with.

it’s worth nothing that he’s functionally identical to Mukuro in this respect, except while Hibari communicates that he cares for Tsuna through Manly Warrior Affordances, Mukuro straight-out attacks Tsuna and compensates for his feelings with constant hostility. Both are funny but Hibari’s is full of more warmth and companionship so that one’s the best.

Anyway, god I forgot how cluttered and ugly the paneling had gotten during this arc

Chapter 335:

It’s not as if he’s giving Tsuna special treatment, either, because he does the exact same “I could...BUT I WON’T” half-hearted dismissal when he comes upon a somewhat exhausted Mukuro. Everyone knows that Hibari hates Mukuro and wants to fight him, but Mukuro has just defeated the enemy as an ally, so he chucks a tonfa at him and says “reaction time is shit, get some sleep”. Hibari was slighted by being defeated, but he has garnered respect for Mukuro, but he can’t tolerate having these opinions concurrently, because he’s incredibly straight-forward and it doesn’t mesh with his “character”

Look at his dumb face. He’s entered Full Tsun.

Expert level: 

Hibari is super fucking Autistic and loves his friends

I mentioned before that he’s not a thinker. It’s not as if he doesn’t try - his observational skills are actually pretty good, and he composes a lot of reasonable conclusions based on the evidence he’s provided. For example, after fighting Daisy:

But he often falls into logical stopgaps, and his method of resolving these are...less than ideal.

Situation: Hibari meets with a conflict to his worldview, image, or judgement

Conclusion:

He hits it until it stops being a problem.

Hibari is like a Sims character that will scream at the wall that used to hold the door they were about to walk through for 30 minutes instead of rerouting. He doesn’t care about being crossed, because he can easily understand it and control that variable, but he is hideously offended by contradiction. If his worldview is challenged, he gets pissed off.

This is the primary reason he and Dino struggle to get along - the entire basis of teaching Hibari is the assumption that Hibari isn’t already right about everything. Dino has to challenge everything about Hibari’s preexisting notions, and Hibari hates him for it. Dino’s lessons excel the most when he feeds into Hibari’s view of things, which is why the 2 things that got through to him by the end is “anger is power” and “flexibility is strength”.

Hibari’s forthright, carefully maintained image also affects how he communicates with people. He talks a lot, sure, but it’s usually to talk at people about how fucking cool and above them he is. He rarely actually communicates his interest in others, which is why him talking to Tsuna about what he likes about him is so important.

It’s also why this tiny panel-and-a-half is one of the best Hibari moments in the series:

Since when?? Have you respected Yamamoto?? He’s given zero indication of being fond of him until now. There’s absolutely no basis for this immense respect he’s solemnly presenting. He’s been mostly scornful of Yamamoto during the Daily Life arc. Hibari says this with such assuredness that he definitely thinks that liking Yamamoto Takeshi is in line with his character, unlike with Tsuna or Mukuro, who he also secretly grew fond of but is unwilling to admit as much, but Hibari just flies this like a fact.

Hibari Kyouya is fully capable of being friendly with others, but he struggles to operate outside of camaraderie. He definitely cares for Kusakabe, and they grew close over the years, but the first thing he says when he sees Kusakabe (10YL) “herding” up with a bunch of unconscious teenagers is “you’re fired”. 

Again, great basis for my AU fanfic where he’s an abuse survivor, especially when Mukuro, a canonical abuse survivor, has the same problem (with a different way of coping), but it also says a lot from the perspective of someone with Autism - he wants to become close to others, but communicating basic ideas like that is entirely beyond him. Hibari only operates in his comfort areas, and is hostile to being forced out of them. 

And yet Dino, who is the only character besides Kusakabe who has spent a significant amount of time around him, described Hibari to be similar to his ancestor, and when he gives reasons for that conclusion, he also mentions...

And this is observable! Because Hibari's reactions are missing from scenes he has no engagement in, like this one:

We can actually pick out scenes where he mentally checks off people as “worthy”, like this one:

This is also where it’s more apparent that Hibari respects strength/bravery. Shouichi is obviously a cowardly mess of a person, but when he says “we are WINNING”, Hibari makes note of him.

Anyway in conclusion Hibari is a gay autistic chuuni and I love him. Here’s Hibari getting mad at Squalo for being around without permission, something he previously expected of his friends

“mu.”
