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

“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.

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 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.

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

because what. BECAUSE WHAT KILLUA

[whatevermakesyoubreak]

> Why do Lira and Hisoka hate each other?

> an analysis/character deep dive that no one asked for 👻

> and no, it has nothing to do with them both slutting illumi out, cmon y’all. it’s actual hate here 💀

> spoilers for sic infit below~

hi.

if you’re reading this, i know u fw my fic heavyyy lmao. love u!!

ok so. we haven’t gotten to Hisoka’s POV in my fic (it’s coming soon) but, Lira has already established the fact that the two of them DO NOT like each other (to Illumi’s surprise) because outwardly they seem like they would. what, with the near carefree & bloodthirsty nature that they both seem to possess, why wouldn’t they get along?? so— what’s the problem?

the answer is literally so simple & LET ME JUST SAY— it actually has nothing to do with any of their sexualities (i feel like i have to mention this, especially with these ships smh). (no, lira does not have issues with hisoka just because him & illumi have had a sexual relationship. she actually is pretty laid back when it comes to things like that, considering she has no objection to being with another woman). she’s awful, but not THAT awful, nor is it from a place of jealousy.

Hisoka has stated in the series that he is a fan of honest & straightforward people, hence his interest in Illumi.

for Illumi, i believe he doesn’t have enough shame to lie unless it’s for something absolutely necessary, such as his job, but even that’s debatable. Illumi even said it himself, “I’m an honest person so I can’t help answering whatever I’m asked,” or whatever the exact quote is, and i’m pretty sure he was completing a contract then, too!

yes, while this could have been a lie on his part, i don’t think it was.

additionally, the illumi in my fic is written to be so devoid of shame he’s basically not capable of it, nor does he have the time to waste lying to himself, so he literally says whatever’s on his mind to Lira within reason, because as he himself said, he doesn’t feel the need to lie to her.

so, what does that have to do with Lira and Hisoka?

well, Lira is not an honest person. at all. she is extremely deceptive as well as evasive, and frankly, she often tells little white lies because she thinks they’re funny (birkin, anyone?) and due to the fact that Lira and Hisoka have indeed crossed paths and even lived under the same roof before (y’all just wait for the Lira x Phantom Troupe backstory), he clocked that shit from her immediately despite her trying her best to mask it, and she HATES that he can essentially see right through her.

ultimately, upon realizing it, Hisoka DOES NOT LIKE THIS, and he DOES NOT LIKE HER BEING AROUND HIS (their) ILLU. especially with how close she is to Illumi, and how fast their relationship is progressing. he knows she’s a drug addict, he knows she’s self serving, and, again— he sees RIGHT THROUGH HER, and wonders why Illumi can’t.

he is not jealous of their RELATIONSHIP but he absolutely despises how it seems that Illumi is apparently unaware of her deceptions (he’s not). he also considers her as nuisance who EVEN HE doesn’t have any real interest in fighting (though he certainly will) even though she is quite strong and would normally be enough to pique his interest. he feels as if she is disingenuous to a fault (which is a lot coming from him) and refuses to let go of his belief that she is incapable of telling the truth no matter what she does or how she has changed.

although, with Hisoka being Hisoka, he still does find himself intrigued by her Nen and in typical Hisoka fashion, has asked himself whether he’d like to kill Lira and make an enemy of Illumi, kill Illumi and make an enemy of Lira, OR, sit back and watch as they inevitably destroy each other, which he believes is bound to happen & honestly wants to happen purely because he thinks it’d be funny.

now, for Lira. one- Lira, while she does not particularly care about them, nor is she good with them- draws a HARD line in the sand for herself when it comes to killing or hurting children. the reason she is such a successful assassin who has managed to avoid being killed is because she refuses to do anything she will regret later. harming children is one of those things. due to her history (being trafficked as a child, essentially, which is wrong as fuck, no matter how she tries to justify it with the fact that she was born into an assassin family and that’s what’s expected of her), she is disgusted and repulsed by Hisoka’s actions and thoughts towards the boys, such as Gon and Killua, despite how many times he has tried to explain to her whatever his state of mind is when it comes to them, and how it isn’t sexual. it means nothing to her. she doesn’t care. all she sees is an adult man putting children into adult or abusive situations and it enrages her. (possible foreshadowing for the Alluka incident… hmmmm?)

additionally, she DESPISES the fact that he can see through her facade,as well as the fact that he calls her out on it, and it makes her blood BOIL. she would gladly kill him- if she was certain she could defeat him, which she's NOT- but she knows that Illumi would be affected (she does, in fact, care about Illumi), and while part of her doesn’t want him to feel upset or any other way, a bigger part of her would consider it a nuisance in regards to the aftermath, especially with the whole 'providing emotional support,' thing. additionally, who knows if leaving Hisoka alive might come in handy later…

TLDR: Lira and Hisoka have a deep, caustic hatred towards one another because they’re both homicidal fake bitches that goes deeper than something as superficial as being eskimo siblings.

pls free illumi yall he didn’t ask for this shit.

[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.

[galaxynajma]

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 ❓❓❓

[beelzebubblezzz]

If you know me, you would know my love for Hubter x Hunter. But I recently started watching through 1999 after finding it. And oh my god. Like- the voice acting is kinda ass- but the artistry in it. I could rant for hours about it. It put so much more work in giving the characters more personality and depth it makes me wanna cry. The backgrounds (especially in the important scenes) are absolutely gorgeous.

And like... Can we just appreciate the SYMBOLISM HERE?! like oh my god?? This wasnt in the 2011 or manga. The ADDED THAT THEMSELVES. I'm just inlove with it, thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

[paragraphcommenter]

Had a mini-heart attack scrolling through the gon freecss tag!!! (╥﹏╥)

Read this post summarizing a video and it basically says

There's a leak that says Gon marries this girl People don't believe it's real It's real But not canon unless Togashi die before its finished

And of course, the only thing my dumb little brain got from this is- Gon marries a girl (Nonoko or noko- whatever her name is!!!) And I start freaking out cause like obviously no way killugon will ever be cannon - but to have gon marry some girl at the end!?!?

Luckily I went and looked it up- it's a scraped ending.

Married gon cannot hurt you-

It will not and never will be real-

Because it is s c r a p e d

its a scraped ending!!!!!!!!

( ima be so for real tho- I don't know why this concerns me so much- logically I should not be this upset by this- but I am- )
