#hxh rant

[silverhypnos]

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.

I’m THROWING UP AND SCREAMI

(Got permission from op on Twitter to cross post!)

[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.

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.

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

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

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

[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.

Am I the only stsg fan that gets kinda annoyed on how popular they are in this fandom?

I’m glad that more people are liking stsg I guess ( tho there has been more goofy takes now )

It’s just that they overshadow every character in jjk

So many characters are underrated ( < this is just me being salty because I like a lot of the culling games characters and the ancient sorcerers )

Even popular characters and ships get overshadowed by them like Itafushi or Shokohime

I get the stsg brain rot is bad but ❓❓❓

[pr1ncessasuke]

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

I'm so mad right now and I need to rant. I know I should get over it, but I literally can't. It's so annoying to meet hxh fans in real life.

I'm buying bit by bit the volumes of yu yu hakusho and hunter x hunter (level e is not available in my country), and reading them (again). I got volume 28 and took some photos of some panels that I liked and shared them as a collage in my story. It looked nice, I liked it and I am really happy that I finally got it. The thing is that a friend I haven't properly talked to for I don't know how long saw my story and realized that I liked hxh. We started talking, but damn, I don't regret sharing what I bought, but why are people like this? This is the second time it happens to me (third time if I include a non-fan but knows hxh): everytime someone hears that I like togashi's work, they start complaining about the popular hiatus (as if he's the only mangaka who does that). I so prefer to meet the guys who act all surprised everytime I go to buy a hxh volume in the comic book store. At least they try to make a conversation about the story and just ask me about my favorite character.

My conversation with this guy started with him just complaining about how togashi doesn't continue the story and he should leave it to someone else but he's too proud and blablabla. I tried to be sympathetic since he seems to be a fan of his work from years ago, but I did defend togashi a whole lot (he said I should stop defending him but never in my life I would do such a thing). I find it awful how some fans still put so much pressure on togashi to continue hxh when we know about his condition. And to just leave the story to someone else? It's clear that those people haven't done anything close to a story to say that.

I literally already made peace with the fact that I don't need an ending. As a fan, of course I want to know how it ends. But also as a fan, I don't want him to sell his soul to the devil only to know the ending.

And something I said to this guy was that he should make his own ending, I have mine and I will throw it away when hxh ends. It was literally a joke to lighten up the situation and it wasn't even something to focus on because in between I was saying other things. And he literally focused on that and said "don't let it be fujoshi" (used as an insult) and I'm here like: are we back into the 2000s and nobody told me?

1. What is the problem?

2. Why do you care?

3. We didn't even speak about any kind of ships, what are you trying to say?

4. Are you sure you know what type of story you're reading?

And this question is for me: How am I meeting dude bros in real life? Why are they in the WILD? AND HOW THE HELL DID I BEFRIEND ONE YEARS AGO WITHOUT ME KNOWING? I want a friend who also likes hxh and togashi's work to talk, but not like this </3

I'm so tired of these kind of people. While living my life outside of the Internet and just being in my corner of the fandom living the great life, I tend to forget that they still exist and there are people who still act like this. What annoys me the most is that literally, they don't know what type of story they're reading. They like to say they like hxh because they know it's good and it gives you some kind of "status" within the anime community because togashi is a really good mangaka and someone who influenced a lot of people within the manga community. Without him, shonen as a genre wouldn't be the same. But then, they also choose to ignore what they don't like about his work, like the queer elements. It's highly known that togashi loves to play with gender and sexuality, but that's only a fact for them when they find it convenient. If you don't like it, don't watch/read it, but it's ignorant and blatant stupid to just act as if it's not there and talk shit about other people only because it's uncomfortable to you. And I'm not even saying that everyone should analyze the story, some people just like to enjoy it and move on with their lives and some others don't know how to analize it, but one thing is that and another thing is just to close off to the possibility when it's clearly there. But of course, the others are sick, not them who are clearly homophobic and don't want to admit it. They should ask themselves why do they get so mad about the possibility of two kids being together romantically and just work on themselves. What's worst is that this guy even said to me he likes NANA and I don’t want to know what kind of interpretation he has because DAMN

To be honest, sometimes I'm a bit surprised about how well togashi seems to know the anime community, but of course he does, he's being a fan for how long now and he's being a mangaka for how long. And I so hope he keeps trolling because DAMN these people are annoying

The worst part is that these fans wouldn't even be friends with togashi or wouldn't like him as a fan because togashi really does look like the type of fan they would hate. Togashi likes BL, mpreg, obscure stories, horror (body horror even) and science fiction (both genres who allow and are known for queerness), he used to make doujinshis (even in an era that was even more bad looked upon than now), he likes to draw bishonen characters (even in a time which was more common to see buff characters in shonen), he drew gender-bender designs of kurama and hiei, he included a homoerotic art of kurama and karasu (a friend made it for him i think) in his doujinshi, he wanted to make a shonen with gay characters and crossdressing and the list goes on and on. He likes so many things that these others fans are disgusted by and it really looks like they don't know who they are admiring. The reason why ending D got so much negative attention when it came out is because it doesn't sound believable that a mangaka like togashi himself, the same person who made level e and is constantly worried of making an interesting story, would make such a bland and heteronormative ending in a story like hxh no less.

They should just shut up and go do their homework instead, they look ridiculous.

And no, I didn't answer this guy again and I don’t think I will, though I really want to troll him.

So I haven't been on tumblr in years. I've been sick in bed for the past three days and decided to make one again. (Happy three day anniversary to my blog I suppose). So it's safe to say that I've been reading non stop. And I was happy to find some amazing stories and headcanons, especially the ones catering to curvier girlies. Now let's get one thing straight: im a girls girl, and all shapes and sizes of women are absolutely stunning to me. But I do have to express the absolute comfort and giddiness I feel when bodies like mine are mentioned in such wonderful content <3

I'm a spicy little thing as well, so to be able to immerse myself into such passionate scenarios describing physical qualities that i have, definitely put those pretty little butterflies in my ovaries !!

Its really been a pleasure.

Although hunter x hunter was definitely my focus coming back on here, I indulged myself in other fandoms. I'm not sure if fandom is the right word when pertaining to anime? when I think of fandom, i think of kpop, in which i am a multi-fandom stan... id appreciate it if someone could correct me on that if im wrong... but what im trying to say is that I read much, much more. And ya girl couldn't get enough of Toji content. And here's why.

I'm a big woman. Not only am I tall (5'8), I'm very plush, very curvy, very...alot. I'm a lot. I'm a size 18 if that helps paint the picture? I'm not sure if it does, i just like oversharing :) but I'm just a lot of woman. And Toji is a lot of man...

So it got me thinking that I may have size kink? Something that I just discovered about myself these three past days. Reading about a man that's monumental in stature compared to you, when you're not petite at all, healed me. It cured my sinus infection... along with antibiotics of course...

And I know Toji wouldn't actually be that much taller than me, but he just gives that energy. He's still a big man and the reason I'm spiraling right now. All you cuties just depict him so well.

You all have me constantly flirting with the idea of wanting to be manhandled by a man who could so easily break me.

Which realistically isn't easy. Not only do I take a tall and curvy form, but I lift. I take pride in my strength. I work hard for it. But is it too much to ask for a man to just swoop in and crush me? To make me feel small and safe. And to lift me in the air with such ease that he can't help but flash me a smug smile for doubting his strength.

I want to rip my garments just thinking of such a scenario.

And I'm not totally adept to kinks, and I honestly have a hard time pinpointing what's what. But I also may have a strength kink too. Keep in mind, all of this coming from reading an amalgamation of Toji content !!

But just the thought being pinned under a man twice my size, taking in the weight of his body on mine. And not being able to move while he keeps me in place with such ease. Quietly begging him to use more of his strength on me...ugh and there go the butterflies again.

But let's remember...I'm Illumi's plump cherry. Not Toji's. And while Illumi is still a bit taller than me, he's not twice my size. So no one better snitch and tell him I was thinking about this...That i was conjuring up a man that would at least have to be 6'5...with the build of Toji. That man will be safe from Illumi as I keep him tucked away in my mind.

Furthermore, I implore all who come across this post to recommend any kind of content like this. Or even share if they have felt the same as me !! I will be making my own in the coming days. But I enjoy reading others' masterpieces rather than writing my own. And holy guacamole you guys are amazing.

Listen. Chrollo.

I might be a little weird for assuming this considering he can talk very eloquently...

But other than that, he screams autism to me.

Like what random kid goes and shoves a tape to his friends asking if they want to voice act Power Rangers?? (Or something similar to it).

Oh hey they become a troupe.

Oh wait- now he wants to go be a gangster group.

Like tell me he isn't just some autistic child on the loose who has managed to have good social masking.

[emeyuko]

i don't think i have to say anything about hxh's ending d thing that people didn't said already, i am mostly sad of how devasting it must feel not knowing if you will be able to complete the story you love so much like Togashi is going trough rn. So i am just gonna say that the shipping discourse that i am seeing on Twitter makes me kinda annoyed, not only bc Togashi made clear this ending is just an alternative if smth happends and he doesn't really like it, but bc seriously? Out of everything....you are just happy that Gon is "straight"?
