no bc leorio and kurapika are like. sun and moon past and future but could we meet in the present? i'm not going if you're not going i'm so glad you're here i'll follow you to the end of the earth but i can't even hear your voice please pick up the phone, i miss you i can't see you until my hands are clean, i drenched them with blood to kill those who hurt my family i will clean families from blood that hasn't spilled yet, hands reaching not quite touching foreheads always crashing against each other, leorio- it's mr. leorio- mr. leorio you're so insufferable- and you're a little prick, i know you have a good heart even if you don't know it about yourself, soft gazes whispered names but all other words left unsaid, but i will scream my heart out of my lungs when you are in a danger i can't see even though i'm actually the only one who sees through all the walls you built around yourself, yearning gazes and you don't know that i know that you know. i'm glad you're here. and i am sobbing

killua during this scene 😭:

[leviathiane]

honestly Hanzo is kind of the nicest with Killua outside of the main four.

He's the one who grabbed Killua to stop him from jumping overboard after Gon,

He's the one who volunteered to go out with (and physically support) Killlua when they followed Gon to rescue Battera (special shout out as well to Bodoro and Goz, who hopped into the boat without question to row)

He's the one who stopped Killua AGAIN from jumping recklessly after Gon (and nearly getting clawed for it, Killua looked ready to murder him)

He continuously interacts with him without being demeaning to his age or afraid of his experience, treating him the same as he does Gon or anyone else. It's a sort of casual, normal dynamic with another person that Killua is particularly starved of.

[babyilluwu]

But now on characterizations that do NOT make sense to me: Illumi expressing distate over Hisoka's fashion style when they're literally twinning out there

Illumi would not twitch an eye at Hisoka's clothes. Illumi would carefully plan out his fits to match his crush's.

hello nat. i love the gorilla. he is perfect. and so is his gorilla friend. who i was also ecstatic to see as i did not previously know of his existence. a gorilla feast! i was expecting one beautiful gorilla and i was blessed with TWO OF THEM

also this is what my brain did when i saw him and his friend for the first time:

i love how in anime and cartoons and stuff ppl will see the most gender ambiguous people and gender them correctly automatically. like sure sometimes animes will make shitty jokes about not being able to tell, but in some like delicious in dungeon and hunter x hunter these characters just somehow KNOW. Its like a third sense for preferred pronouns that i wish i had.

hey girlie it’s me, sam winchesters gay lover, your mootie 🥰🥰🥰 i just wanted to let you know, that your tags on the post about that wincest video are based and i agree with every word, hashtag slay couldn’t agree more i loved reading your essay in those tags heart ❤️

omg thank you!!! i'm basically only capable of talking in essays whether people want me to or not, unfortunately

i just have a lot of feelings on this topic and the whole "canon or not canon" argument is weird to me; the themes are pretty darn clear in supernatural (it is NOT known for its subtlety) so idk man. they don't have to kiss to be canon. and they don't have to have a romantic relationship to be canon either. how many times do they get into relationships with other people only for it to be treated as cheating/betrayal/abandonment, only for them have to give up that relationship in order to reaffirm their devotion to their brother

that's just what the text says. i'm not under any kind of delusion that they have some secret sexual or romantic relationship, but that doesn't change that sam and dean are each other's most important person regardless of that. which is really awesome imo, that romance isn't treated as more important than whatever horrible thing they have with each other, and that they don't have to consummate their relationship with romance/sex in order for it to be the most important one they have

(and of course there's romantic/sexual subtext, like parallels and metaphors and misunderstandings and jokes, but to me that just provides a solid foundation for presenting this relationship between them as the most important even though it's not romantic or sexual—because this language of romance is the only one we know, really, when it comes to writing important relationships between characters. it's the only one we know in our own personal lives, to a large extent. so you use the romance/sexuality to symbolize the actual bond they have. which is so much worse lmao)

anyway i think spn is fairly unique in this way because of how no other relationships can really ever stand parallel to the one they share; even in other shows that center male friendship, romance is allowed to coexist with brotherhood. for sam and dean, it's not, and that becomes a point of tension and conflict and resolution many, many times over the course of the show. so like yeah!!! just because it's not romantic or sexual doesn't mean it's not canon, in the sense that their relationship is the point of the show, and it is the most important relationship they have. they chose each other above all else, every single time. yknow, it's "the epic love story of sam and dean" and all that

KILLUA AND IKALGO ARE THE CUTEST EVER ♡ i love their friendship so much :((

There's something so funny and fucked up about how that kid from Hunter x Hunter looks after he literally ages out of anger
