Idk if I have asked this already but what is your favorite rarepair/crackships? :D

(If you need any hxh rarepair/crackship ideas then hmu✧*。٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*。)

This is such a loaded question cuz I have Rarepairs I just like the look/aesthetic of, pairings I like for their potential and personalities and pairings where people are confused until I explain my complicated lore and made up backstories…

But as of this moment my fav crackship is probably Draculaura (G1) x Donatello (2012 TMNT) since my bsf loves TMNT and I really like Monster High :3

For Hunter x Hunter HOWEVER. It definitely has to be Hina x Feitan rn.

I created an entire AU BASED AROUND THEM, I’ve started writing multiple fics about them, I’ve drawn them ALOT.

I also have a shit ton of headcanons surrounding them and shit… they’re my babas…

hiii hina <333 ok so now i must know, what are some of your favourite character designs? like, the elements are so compelling and go so well together to form a design that is cohesive and visually appealing. and is there a particular piece of media that just has consistently banging character designs?

OOH OKKOKOK listen. i am no expert i have not been classically trained in fact i have not taken a single char design course but to me, good character design boils down to 2 main elements: a. recognizability and b. visual storytelling and the concept of show, don’t tell. recognizability is where more technical elements like shape language and silhouette come into play. u want an audience to be able to instantly know a character with minimal confusion, and that is made much easier if u have good working knowledge of shapes, colours, and proportions. That’s what /makes/ a good design, but what /SELLS/ that design is the underlying meaning. WHy do characters look the way they do. what can you learn from the way they look. there is undoubtedly a time and a place for designs that are just cute to be cute but if u want to make a lasting impression beyond “oh this character is hot/cute/attractive” u gotta dig deeper.

i am going to yap now smile

i wld b remiss and a liar and a fraud if i did not talk about arcane in regards to character design. fr me arcane is THE media that does not miss with a single one of their designs. this show is fucking stunning points at every character . every single one of them . hand in marriage. u learn SO much about everyone and their roles/personalities/fighting styles just by looking at them not to mention they’re all fucking 10s this show is a bisexual’s nightmARE anyway personal favourites vi and jinx but ths just me being predictable 

vi /looks/ like a fighter the minute u see her. her build her gait everything about her screams this woman will snap me like a twig (pLpslslplpslpslpspl). u see tht she’s rough and brash but one thing i rly find interesting is her hair colour. like fr one its brightness distinguishes her as a main character, but also pink being typically associated with femininity/love/nurture/compassion is SO interesting paired with vi. not only is it kind of subversive bc vi is not traditionally “feminine”, but she does embody all of those traits in that her reason for fighting comes from a place of wanting to nurture and protect. i could talk for hours about vi anyway. hand in marriage,,./.?? hand in marriage pls/?????????

jinx i LOVE I LOVE I LOVE . she’s wiry she’s chaotic she’s asymmetrical and that MEANS something it /shows/ her mental state n the way she fluctuates between her identities of jinx and powder. I love the hints of pink/purple not only as visual nods to vi but also as alluding to shimmer and the dangerous undercurrent it gives her. not 2 mention her design works so well alongside her sister like. besides the obvious pink/blue juxtaposition everything about them from their body types their colour schemes the way they carry themselves the way they dress… it’s peak . nothing tops arcane in character design for me

a few other noteworthy mentions: 

illumi hxh - listen idk what the fuck he’s wearing but it’s a 90s shounen i’ll forgive him. illumi’s design is brilliant imo. he’s not in your face like hisoka who u see and know immediately that this guy is insane, he’s beautiful but sleek in a way that makes him almost reptilian. it’s a subtle kind of off-putting and u want to recoil when u see him but it’s just understated enough that u don’t know Why until it’s too late. the wide, catlike dead eyes the jet black hair… his design lends SO well to what he represents for killua, he’s this ever-present shadow he’s an oppressive force we see phantoms of illumi’s eyes Boring into killua we see his hair forming a sort of cage god the visuals the visuals im so . im unwell about the zoldyks actually. 

kaneki tg - this one is a bit tricky bc at first glance kaneki /is/ just ur standard dark hair protag but!! the way his design and specifically his hair r used as a visual representation of his mental state and character arc is so good i lovelovelove the progression and storytelling u see through his design alone.

- early kaneki w his shorter plain black hair makes him look innocent and unassuming bc he /is/. he was no one special, what happened to him was just pure bad luck. - ghoul kaneki w white hair showing the mental break after he’s tortured, stripped of his innocence/sanity/humanity - HAISE MY LOVE the two-toned hair showcasing how he has literally become a blank slate after his amnesia and the events of tg and the resulting limbo between identities ((also idk if it’s just tht ishida’s style had changed by :re but haise’s hair in particular is so FLUFFY it makes him look very non-threatening which might be a coincedence but might also be intentional in showing how he’s taken on more of a gentle mentor role by this point)) - reaper kaneki and we r once again back to black but whereas before it made him look plain and unassuming with the new context it makes him look /lethal/. ((also directly contrasts arima's design, having a near identical silhouette with the only difference being his black to arima's white)) - endgame kaneki finally settling back on white as a way to show tht after everything he’s been through he’s come back permanently changed: he is a ghoul, he’ll never b able to go back to the way things were or reclaim his humanity, but he’s gotten to a place where he's at peace with it now tl;dr cataloguing a character’s journey and mental state through their appearance >>>>>>>

LAST THING IK IVE YAPPED SO MUCH GOMEN ,, i did want to tack on my feelings about, wouldn’t u know it, genshin fucking impact, bc i did say i think there is a place for character designs that r just pretty to be pretty and i think a lot of genshin designs r good examples of this. i’ve seen some people getting upset about genshin being lazy with character design and making their characters unnecessarily Busy, but as someone who doesn’t play and doesn’t know anything about the game let me just say tht if the goal is to get players to spend money fuckin congratulations . i too would whale for some of these designs. bc i don’t play i don’t know for sure whether or not characters' appearances have any relevance to their lore or if it’s mostly just bells and whistles purely for aesthetic, all i know is am not immune to alhaitham.

We know from PUZZLE that Kite is also “without nen,” how do you think that would play out with respect to Gon in any future arcs? Also, what’s the likelihood that we might get a split-narrative between events on NC/DC/Known World? I haven’t read YYH so I’m not sure if this is something he does across settings for multiple chapters. I’m trying to be optimistic, but he’s going to be in his 60’s by the time we get off the murder boat at the rate he’s going…

Hi anon!!! These days I have Baby Brain but I'll do my best...

I think there have been lots of plot crumbs already for a future Gon-and-Killua-vs-Ants arc part two, and I talked about that a little bit here. In a nutshell:

*Half or more of the Hunter Association are on the murder boat, including the leadership (Zodiacs)

*The Phantom Troupe, who have been protecting Meteor City for the last decade+ via their scary reputation, are also on the murder boat

*The 5,000 chimera ant eggs Pariston stole are MIA. Where could they be? Well...

*As we saw at the end of the CA arc, Hina, Bizef, and Welfin are all headed to Meteor City, where Gyro is rumored to have gone.

So I don't know if Togashi would switch back and forth between the boat and the Known World, BUT I do know that in HxH in particular he loves anticlimax and ending arcs in unexpected ways. I think what YYH taught him was that he never wants to do a complete tournament arc or keep going with a plot "just to finish it" ever again.

So what I sort of expect to happen with the murder boat is that they'll never reach the Dark Continent at all (they might reach the New Continent, just to wrap up the succession contest).

That would be the ultimate anticlimax, right? Set up this great power-scaling training ground in a shounen series, spend more than a decade of irl time on a boat going there, and then just... Never arrive. Haha.

Instead I think something will happen back on the mainland while all these characters are trapped on the boat, and they won't even be able to teleport away (because as we saw with Kacho, leaving the boat before the urn ceremony is complete activates a nen trap and is fatal - at least for the Princes).

In fact I think this could have been Pariston/Beyond's plan all along - to distract everyone with the boat while they made their real move in the Known World.

So then I think it's up to Gon and Killua to do something about whatever is going on in Meteor City while literally every other important character is away....

Well. I think my point is, whether or not the plot ends up being like what I have described, there are plenty of dangling plot threads in HxH pointing to **some** kind of long term plan... and Gon and Killua are the main characters so they should be part of that plan!

Because you're right, both Kite and Gon don't have nen at the moment. And Kite is an Ant. And they're traveling together to out of the way places. Also, Ging didn't say Gon could **never** get his new back, only that there would be "hell to pay" if he did. So that seems like a setup for him to get his nen back in the future, if, as you say, Togashi's health doesn't give out first.

And if that happened, it wouldn't happen for no reason, but because it would be required by the narrative. In other words, Gon would need something to **do** with the nen he just got back.

At least, if I was writing HxH, that's how I would do it.. the main reason I think it might **not** happen this way is because at least one person (me) has now predicted it, and HxH in general is not that predictable. Haha.

Anyway. Thanks for the ask!!

why do some of the ants look like fun little creatures and then . its like anime girl with a tail or ears. or sometimes she just has a funny little hat. i think the funny little hat is cool and all but i wish she had big fucking teeth or an exposed endoskeleton but perhaps that is just me

hellooo hina hope ur doing well !! do u have a top5 fav anime? or just shows in general if u prefer :D have good rest of ur night <3

hello rin!!!!!! omg okokokok but disclaimer ,, take 3-5 with a grain of salt because i immediately forget everything i have ever watched unless it is hunter x hunter

that being said....

JJK - i mean. gestures @ my blog.

HxH: tbh probably my all time fav anime I'm really just putting it second because jjk has Current Hyperfixation status . hxh is just SO incredibly near and dear to me i adore everything about it and ik i never talk about it but tbh i think i'm so quiet about it /because/ it means so much to me? it's smth keep in my heart n i do not scream about unless prompted <3 that being said i wld die fr any one of the main cast in a heartbeat and with my dying breath i wld request that th gif of killua's hair Electrifying be projected on my tombstone

Keep your hands off eizouken: another pocket pick !!! i remember watching this made me feel so Genuinely moved watching these 3 girls be so passionate about art and animation and pursuing their dreams with such determination.,, personally it dredged up a lot of emotions as someone who has always been hesitant to seriously pursue an art career or make art anything other than a hobby . it was like . here r these characters doing everything in their power to make their dreams a reality because they love animation so much,, it made me kind of wistful and i love it for that

atla: not an anime technically but what the hell ill throw atla up here bc all this au business has reminded me how much the source material means to me <3

the kaiba-centric yugioh movie GYFDSSDHGDFHSH LISTEN i am blanking hard but i thought of him.........full disclosure i had a short-lived but INTENSE yugioh phase and i remember the original series fondly but. watching the kaiba movie (the dark side of dimensions) n seeing the jump in animation n production quality i was like hoLY SHIT?????? idk how i can explain this but . when i watching the original series i was young and thought it was the coolest thing ever and so the image of it in my head was probably A Lot cooler than it objectively Was,, . but then years later seeing it Revamped i was like YES this is it THIS is what i saw in the original series THIS was what i was seeing through my rose tinted glasses (((also i just have a crush on seto kaiba sorry)))))
