Uvogin rant

People need to stop underestimating Uvogin just because he got killed by Kurapika so early on in such an decisive manner. Uvogin is an extremely strong character, he is the only human we’ve seen that was able to take a constant barrage of bullets, snipe to the head, and a bazooka round to his hand with no damage whatsoever while he’s only at less than half of his full power, except netero and adult Gon. Pure power isn’t everything in a fight. Kurapika won not because of strength, but because of his chain jail, a move that is basically kryptonite to any spider no matter how strong they are. Uvogin is no different. When I hear people say Hisoka can whoop him, or any Zoldyck can easily kill him, I lose a few years off my life. There is not more than 5-6 people in the series who have a 50% chance of beating Uvogin in a fight without using extremely specific conditional abilities that target him or traps that require him to fall for them in first place. Yet he’s super smart, so he’s not likely to fall for any of those traps. He’s a Troupe member, the guy loves to fight but he isn’t some big, dumb brute. Hes smart and he understands how Nen works, the fight between Kurapika does its best to show that. He can use In, which is a Nen technique used by very few in the series. He isn’t just using Aura solely to supplement his muscles. Uvogin is one of the GREATEST enhancers shown in the series but people don’t take time to realize that just because he got as they say “clapped” by Kurapika. Kurapika lacks the sheer power Gon and Killua, but he is one of the best nen users among the main cast. He is talented I’ll say that, he’s talented enough to create such strong restrictions. Kurapika had won the fight before it even started, if Uvo knew the chains were conjured I think he would have had a fair shot at killing him, but Kurapika’s clever little idea of always keeping the chains on paid off. Kurapika could’ve NEVER beaten Uvo without chain jail. -.- (not to mention Uvogin was also hella drunk during the fight)

Sorry, a little rant

This is a tiny bit of a rant, but I struggle so hard to be cordial with other HxH fans or fans of media in general who constantly need a "moral" reason to dislike or like any characters.

I dislike Hisoka because his pedophilic nature makes me uncomfortable and on principle, I just don't like pedo characters. But sometimes I dislike characters for non-moral reasons. And I rarely like a character for moral reasons. And I don't always feel like needing to justify that.

But I would meet people who treat disliking a character as a performative way to brand themselves as a moral person. Not only do they need a moral reason, but they get so angry when other people like morally corrupt characters. They would vocalize and question the morality of a person just for liking villains. And the worst part about it is that they are so flaky and hypocritical about it. I have met a person who went out of their way to shit on me for liking the spiders because "They are mass murderers" but they seem to love Chimera Ants. As if they didn't kill a bunch of people... "Killing innocent people is wrong" except it's okay when Killua did it.

The "excuse" is that he is a child from an abusive household, but something tells me if Killua was introduced as an adult, you'd have a different excuse. Now I'm not saying liking Killua is bad, he's a well-written character, and I want him to grow up happy like the rest of ya. Obviously, the reason why you don't care that Killua killed those randos for nothing is because they are nameless randos. Had those two been a person that the viewer had time to care about, some of you might care. When you care about a character, if a character hurts them, you might hate that character. Likewise, when your favorite character hurt someone, out comes with all of the excuses. This is nothing new, every fandom is like this. I don't have an issue with people not liking the Spiders. (I only have a pet peeve when they do the blame game of blaming Chrollo for all of the Spider's crime but not the whole Spiders.) I get that most people who hate the spiders are a big Kurapika fan. I also like Kurapika a lot, but I also like Spiders a lot too. So I just choose to suffer. Likewise, if you project yourself onto characters, you are more likely to defend that character's actions. When you project a person you don't like onto a character, you are more likely to hate that character to an absurd degree. You're going to headcanon that character in the worst way possible, even if they aren't guilty of the thing you've projected them to be. I can't speak for everyone, but I like well-written villains, and I don't believe in justifying a villain's actions. I like to see a villain develop, and I like to see how the author handles the villain's downfall. I don't like characters to performatively display my moral standings. I don't want to argue with people about why it's okay for me to like villains. But a lot of people who love to show off how moral they are through the media they watch instead of like, ya know, donating to causes, working at facilities that aid the homeless, etc... (And yes, not to humble brag but I've done those things) Some of y'all can be so difficult to be cordial with. It's one thing if the person started to directly harass you first, but y'all don't need to constantly seek out people you don't like just to start an argument on the internet. Ignore the type of fans you don't like, not every disagreement has to be some dick-measuring moral competition. It would be healthier for your headspace too, constantly being angry isn't going to do you any good. Take care of your health.

muruem and killua both on their knees begging palm to save their beloved komugi and gon. I just realized this parallel today and im unwell.

togashi created palm to facilitate the new themes of love and coming of age in the chimera ant arc. and created multiple parallels between the two pairs

[tiedsuccubus]

“Im sick of an overpowered y/n so I’m gonna make her realistic with good growth 🤓👆🏾” but whole time the y/n is just pitifully weak and stays weak for like a good 80% of the story, then suddenly pops out with a random power up.

Ts be annoying me so bad. The power genuinely be so interesting and very promising, but they make her weaker than the fucking scene fillers. I understand not wanting a Mary sue ass character/ wanting the character to be op at beginning but DAMN.

Why can’t people make a character that actually has good steady growth.

every time someone calls gon a monster, an angel loses his wings and i get one step closer to manslaughter

Cuddles headcannon multiple

A/n: random headcannons are my favorite

⚠️: non i think

He pulled you to him after to drift away from him in your sleep. You were in and out of sleep so when you felt him get closer you snuggled closer. You sighed and fell fast asleep again and he just smiled

He wishes every day could be like this

I just wanna say that there is a BIG difference between fanfic writers and professional writers. The people I’ve seen on here picking apart at fic writers(especially beginner writers) is so tiring to read. You’re reading FANFICTION on TUMBLR, if you want something better then go to a library or something.

If you’re so upset about what people write, and if you think you’re so much better— then write your own fics instead of insulting other writers for their apparent lack of writing skills.

In reality, fanfic writing is just a hobby for most people.

ngl, i’m tired of pretending that i hate the hxh dub lmao. 💀

like, sure, it’s not “perfect” or wtv, but i honestly rly like it. 🤷

imo it’s not rly anywhere near as bad as ppl like to say it is (esp since most ppl are constantly hating on all dubs regardless, so their opinions don’t rly matter anyway 🤷), and some of the translations are actually very enjoyable. 😭

just some examples i rly rly liked off the top of my head (and yes, these are all from ep. 147… sue me):

“well, the truth is… after you told me you were gonna defeat pitou alone, not to mention that it was ‘none of my business’, i got… pretty depreeeeeeeessed.” killua teasing gon (i love petty killua & i loved the delivery. 😭 he can be such a little dickhead sometimes lmao. alluka’s “big brother!” and killua’s little evil chuckle were also so cute, i love them lol.)

“why are you just telling me that NOW⁉️⁉️” gon to killua after killua finally told him that alluka’s power (nanika) is who healed him (i just absolutely loved the delivery here, he sounded so genuinely annoyed & exasperated lmao 😭).

“it’s sort of a… complicated family thing, ya know?” killua to gon after gon’s reaction (i just absolutely love this line. 😭 it manages to be an absolute understatement while being completely accurate at the same time LMAO).

“she was locked in our house for a real long time… for the crime of being too awesome.” killua to gon abt alluka/nanika (i personally love this translation choice sm… not only was it comical, but it honestly felt like it encapsulated killua’s character & his opinion of his sisters very well.)

“wait just a minute, i don’t need you planing play dates! isn’t she great?” (one of the cutest things killua has ever said. he sounds so genuine when he says it 😭)

i also honestly think that alluka/nanika has such a cute voice, i love it sm. i honestly might like it more than their sub voice.

The pain of rarely hating characters in fandoms that treat stanning villains like it’s a moral issue

[concrete-3ater]

if I had a nickel for every time I was in a fandom and a child character had a breakdown and did something that accidentally hurt another character, and then the fandom all turned on the character and vilified them because they [the fandom] can’t understand that sometimes 14 year olds make mistakes when they’re going through something traumatic, I would have 2 nickels

not a lot but it really is weird it happened twice

[headcansxfanfictions]

People not understanding that Alluka is a trans-girl makes me so ANNOYED.

Everyone is always bringing up every explanation of her gender EXCEPT for the one that is canon and makes most sense.

People are like “oh maybe the translation got mixed up thats why different characters refer to her as different genders.”

People seem to come up with every possible explanation except the most obvious one. And it just makes me angry, not at the people who don’t understand Alluka’s gender but at the fact the Trans people have been erased so much that its the last thing most people with think of as a possibility.

And whenever there is finally a trans character everyone always tries to make reasons why the character isn’t trans. Its like if the writer doesn’t introduce the character with the literal words: “This character is trans.” People will ignore the blatant clues and try to convince themselves the character isn’t trans.

[moretheta]

im so tireddddd of the "halkenburg is just as bad as benjamin now" hot take. listen a halkenburg villain arc does sound fascinating i won't lie but we are so very far from that point. yes, halkenburg has abandoned pacifism. but also have you ever considered that pacifism could have... flaws.... when you are an (unwilling) part of a fatally unequal system that children are steadily losing their lives to.

sorry you can't handle a radical but i'm still with halkenburg on this. you'll never get me to side with mr. military industrial complex

TW: mentions of homophobia, transphobia, and Ging Freecss

(Note: do not harass anyone who does this, harassment doesn't fix anything and only makes things worse. I am not trying to start any drama and I just wanted to rant about it since no one else seems to talk about it.)

I was just randomly thinking about this but can we like unnormalize making characters homophobic for "angst purposes" ? Like Kurapika would NOT get pressed just because Leorio has his contact name as "Sunshine" 🙁‼️ it isn't just Leopika this happens with Killugon and other ships as well😭 not trying to start any drama or anything like that but it's a bit concerning that so many people think Kurapika and/or Gon is homophobic? They've literally never shown disdain for LGBTQ+ people (especially Gon) so idk where people get the idea that they are homophobic?? Don't get me wrong I'm all for angst and I don't wanna seem like I'm policing headcanons but in this case it's just weird, I don't understand hcing characters who've never shown disgust or irritation to the LGBTQ+ community be suddenly homophobic 😓 even if it's like a internalized homophobia thing (as someone who had that in the past + internalized transphobia) like again if they don't show any negative emotions towards the LGBTQ+ community then I don't understand someone hcing a character as homophobic! Honestly this isn't even about ship angst anymore it's just characters in general 😭 I saw someone say that they don't like Ging (I'm sorry I always come back to this fucking man I just have to include him somehow) because he apparently "would be homophobic irl and not support Killugon"..?? Which makes absolutely NO sense??? That's another thing too, headcanoning characters you dislike as homophobic. Like okay.. You don't like Ging, whatever.. But hcing him as homophobic?? What?? And not only that, but saying he wouldn't support his son's relationship?? It makes absolutely no sense?? Sorry that this slowly became me ranting but it really pissed me off and I don't see anyone talking about it😭

[pr1ncessasuke]

because what. BECAUSE WHAT KILLUA

[0creativity0]

All these people out there calling Gon (a child) a monster for ever hurting Killua yet you never hear them comment on how tormenting Kurapika's silence must be to, not only Leorio, but to literally anybody who cares about him at all (principally Leorio though, just take a second to even imagine how terrified he must feel).

But like seriously, this fandom never changes. You guys cradle Killua like a newborn baby and tear apart anything that dares find itself in his way or push him to face his own feelings, even accidentally. You did the same thing with the Phantom Rouge movie and not only completely destroyed Retz, which could've been so fun to explore together as a community (and is one of the only girls (debatable) in the entire show) but also completely shat on how good the movie was just because you were too focused on insulting a dead child. Also, Killua character analyses are received so negatively compared to the other characters, because this fandom's all about interpretation until it comes to interpreting Killua's intentions because he's so kind and pure and perfect or whatever. So uninteresting, smh.

Ok I'm dropping the mic I just needed a minute to complain.

[maycat-19-142]

This is my first time requesting something from you and im not sure if you'll do this but can you write a head cannon or basically anything with the hxh characters interacting with anxious and careful reader that slowly opens up to them and becomes more playfull with the characters. (can the reader also be nb)

HXH main characters with a shy reader

A/n: This is more of a shy than anxious. I hope that is ok

⚠️: shy reader, talk of teasing, fluff, let me know if I missed anything in warnings

Characters: killua, leorio, kurapika

Killua

Was also super quiet at first

He honestly loved to see you get more comfortable

Not even in a romantic way

He was quicker to open up

When you become playful, he was kinda shocked

He definitely teases you, but he never goes overboard

Leorio

Definitely a tease from the start

Hates you see you super upset with him so he backs off

Till you become teasing back

He is super open from the start

But you opening up is a crazy thing for him to get his head around

He loves it when you are playful, and he will 100% be playful back

kurapika

Totally understands your nervousness

He is super slow to open up too

You kinda learn to open up together

When you become playfully is when he gets kinda confused

Like this is not normal

This is not bad he is just kinda confused

He becomes playful back and it is like day became night and night became day

Have a good day and night 🌙
