I haven't decided what Cody does for a living in this fic, but I'm starting to think Detective Cody might be a good idea... 🤔

I haven’t said this enough recently but I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone…or idk…whoever sees this post…

That I love Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Thank you.

[embraceyourdestiny]

Love characters who are small and have a terrifying unflinching nerve will and determination to the point where the people around them call them unstoppable beasts with an insatiable gluttony and desire to improve and prove themselves against anyone in the world who doubts them

Also they peace ✌️ (*^_^*)✌️

OG Barto Club Ship

Our lady before Barto got one (1) second of validation and full sent into fandom insanity.

Black boots with white laces and gold eyelets, pants in the style of Barto himself with a pattern and coloring like the front of the boat, and a belt reflecting the cannon line along the hull. A long vest with frayed arm holes colored like the sail and with the roger on the back (not pictured). Black chest binding, red-roger earrings, green hair, and a stick for breaking legs (inspired by the figurehead just being a little wood rod).

Wait, is it true that they gave another character usually associated with a green lightsaber a blue one? Why does this keep happening‽

Hi again! I've had this thought in terms of hxh meta that I personally have not seen discussed, so I'm gonna dump it here for you! There's an underlying theme I've noticed of characters throughout the series being one that lost their other halves. Like, most obvious, Leorio and Kurapika lost their childhood best friends. Melody lost her friend to the devil's music. We see Nobunaga lose Uvogin, and so on. So Killua saving Gon instead of letting him die after CAA seems to be a "breaking the cycle" so to speak, although I'm not sure what that would even mean! Nothing much to say besides those details I've noticed, but I wanted to know if you had thoughts? Or perhaps it's just an interesting background detail that is up in the air in terms of being significant?

Hello, thank you so much for sending an ask again! I've put some thought into this topic as well, so I'm happy you brought this up! How I'm answering this is both somewhat abstract and far-reaching in the series so it's a little difficult to summarize and express simply, but I hope you and others might get some meaning out of it!

I strongly believe that one of HxH's great overarching themes is the transformational power of love and how it grants people second chances in life. In this post I'm referring to love in a broader sense, not just romantic love, as of course many different types of love are portrayed and have deep importance in HxH. We see the theme of transformative love in so many different relationships and instances that it's difficult to even summarize them--a few examples are Gon and Killua, Meruem and Komugi, Meruem and his Royal Guard, Ging and Kite, Killua and Ikalgo, even in less major character pairs like Ging and Razor (Razor: "Ging taught me it took only one person, one person in the entire world who will trust you, to save you.") and Kite and Koala, but that's only scraping the surface. I reblogged a previous wonderful meta that pointed out the domino effect of Killua's act of kindness towards Ikalgo, which ended up changing the ultimate trajectory of humanity's war against the Chimera Ants. This is a great example of this theme in action!

But of course, while meeting and loving someone can transform that person's whole life, so also can losing someone significant. It can set someone on a completely different life track than they would have been on had they not lost them--Kurapika, Leorio, Senritsu, the Phantom Troupe (especially with their flashback in recent chapters), Gon and Kite, Kacho and Fugetsu (though this hasn't played out all the way yet) come to mind, but there are many more throughout the series as well. Not all of the losses that fit into this are someone losing their other half/most important person, but there's a solid enough percentage that it certainly seems to be a trend Togashi is establishing and exploring.

It's difficult to explore one of these themes in depth and with honesty without the other--love happens, loss of loved ones happens, both are deeply transformative, and both can ultimately be placed under the broader umbrella of the transformative power of love. After all, if losing a person causes someone's entire life path to change, chances are they loved them a great deal and the force behind the change that occurs in their life is the love and grief they still feel after the loss.

HxH has many tragic elements and Togashi certainly doesn't shy away from the heart-wrenching and long-lasting results of loss, but I think it's fair to say from the 400 chapters we have so far that HxH's themes are not ultimately tragic and hopeless on this topic by any means. In HxH:

Death is not always insurmountable, i.e., Kite, the Chimera Ants in general

The life path one ends up on after a major loss need not be a tragic one, i.e. Leorio deciding to be a doctor and help children in poverty as a result of losing his friend

Death in itself can be an act of love, i.e. Meruem and Komugi, Netero and humanity

Even if one ends up on a dark path as a result of loss, that doesn't mean they can't be saved by someone else's love for them, i.e., Gon and Killua, this could also end up being the trajectory for Kurapika and Leorio potentially?

With Gon and Killua, their whole relationship is based on them transforming each other and giving each other second chances:

Gon saving Killua simply by not judging him, befriending him, and showing him another life path

Gon retrieving Killua from the Zoldyck family when Killua's resolve broke down because of Illumi

Killua pulling the needle of out of his head out of sheer love for and desire to protect Gon

And of course Killua not allowing Gon to die, simultaneously saving him and transforming Alluka's life.

(And Killua's ability to save and help Alluka is of course, a direct result of the kindness Gon extended to Killua and the love Killua has for Gon.)

There's no way to know for certain what will happen in their future, but I definitely think their relationship has one more transformation in it at least, in the form of a reunion and reconciliation.

So, in summary, I think these themes of someone losing a person who was their other half and how one continues to live after that are another way of exploring the broader theme of what it means to love someone and be transformed by meeting them, which I see as a primary theme of HxH. I also think some of these relationships are intended to be comparisons to or foils of Gon and Killua's relationship in a sense (especially Kurapika and Pairo and Kacho and Fugetsu, but others as well), expanding on the themes of their relationship and how a love that deep affects people, both in beautiful and in deeply painful ways.

I like to think that Obi-Wan has weird plants that he keeps on the ship during the war because after living with Qui-Gon for so long it's weird not to have any plants and no Cody he doesn't even like plants why would you even think that--

JARIMAAAAA JJK IS ENDING IN 5 CHAPTERS!!!1 WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?? HOW ARE YOU FELLING ABOUT THIS??? ALSO HXH IS COMING BACK TO!!!//// AAHHHHHHH

OLAAAAAAAAAAAAA

When I first heard the news, it almost felt surreal. I was so sad I am not even gonna lie. Not seeing Yuji and silly Sukuna every other week sounded so darn bad. (Also, FINALLY MEGUMI IS FIGHTING BACK!!!!).

As for the ending, I am pretty confident in Gege's pen. He is definitely gonna deliver. What mostly made me sad earlier was how i got attached to a series like this after ages, I don't even remember when.

You know the most weird part of it? I am gonna miss Gege more than JJK. This realisation was again something even I was surprised about myself. This goofy ass man, we don't even know real name of, whose face we have never seen. Yeah, it's a pretty weird feeling. At least I am happy that Gege said he is gonna end JJK on his own terms. (Go write that Idol manga you wanted to write gege, imma be there hihihi)

Also, Yuji death flags are the worst part of it, I am gonna cry if he dies, but imma respect Gege's writing. Megumi, my boy, at least you might live. Let's see how the cookie crumbles.

This was the first manga in which I participated in a fandom, before that, I used to be a silent reader. So imma miss you guys THE most. It was a very crazy journey. Yuji and Megumi easily became one of my favourite duo (hxh has another one of my fav). The last chapter had me real emotional, also Sukuna acting silly and borderline insecure lmao, truly generational.

ALSO, THE BEST NEWS OF THIS ALLLLL

TOGASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

HUNTER X HUNTER is coming BACK!! Killua, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio, my beloved!!!! My first favourite duo ever was Killua and Gon ❤️.

Imma keep my Tumblr so, HxH is definitely something imma be here for (not sure about twt/X, that place is too toxic lol, although I do have some good hxh moots there as well)

Also, we were joking yesterday that gege is real sleek, he wants to end jjk so that he can read hxh in peace lmao 🤣, biggest Togashi fan lol.

I was real existed yesterday lol👇

(Ps. I know Gon and Killua are not something we are gonna see right away cause Succession Contest arc is going on in manga, but KURAPIKA is also 🤌✨️)

[astras-ender]

finally had time to sit down and watch the livestream and...

🤯🤯🤯

there's so much going on, i feel like sylus is just the tip of the iceberg: new photo mode, new fighting modes (that in itself is complicated asf), and free memories and outfits

God bless the devs 😘
