Every once in a while I'll despair a little at finding so little Hina and/or Rui or Koorime content in general and then I'll recall how in a post asking "whatever character you're drawing their fate is yours now", a description of mine of Hina (I think I said "had illegal sex and will die in illegal childbirth (allegedly, in the manga, but yes does die) or by suicide after having said illegal childbirth (allegedly, in the anime)") picqued someone's interest and they wondered what that character was from. I told them and then they never asked me any further abt that (fair, it's a heavy description to hear on the Internet from a stranger and the yyh fandom is terrifying and Hina's presence in the story as "tragic female character willing to die in childbirth" and it being not left to much speculation Why She Was Willing To Do That aside from the expectant "well she's a female character and she was written by a man so it must've been the ye old ideal and self-sacrificing mother trope" are all fine reasons that come to mind) but I'm carrying that affirmation in my heart! I know that if a character's story is just told in an interesting way, they can in fact become interesting through that interpretation, even if at first they were expected to be boring.

#I think another couple of factors was Togashi's exhaustion with the series #and also bc his initial thought to “deconstruct the characters” was dissuaded from #but also bc a lot of intrigue for Hiei lies in him being a mysterious gremlin with no home #the only reason for giving him a home is to give him a home that will reject him #to give him a family is to give him a background where suddenly his behaviour is much less nature #and nurture in a way that a given fan might not like for him #hes no longer “gremlin” or “little jackass” he becomes a “person (character)”#hes no longer a badass he's a tragic character with the sort of backstory that in no way Leaves him a badass #this view I have of yyh fans might be incorrect but from my experience the biggest circle #fall for the very things the dt antagonists belive that there's nothing worse #than being a human being who has an impact on the world and that the world can see them #this combined w the lack of time and the lack of energy to continue it any more than he had to #is what resulted in “dead mum; she was dead bf u got here” thing & Rui feeling so guilty shed rather b killed #&Yukina being so “respectful” of Hieis decision not to reveal himself even tho she must know #who he is - never allowed to confront him & yet Hieis development is given form through *Mukuro*#another “badass character” but who needs saving she won't admit to & is in no way tied to him familially #I think Mukuros “catharsis” was meant 2b Hieis & Hieis role in that chapter was supposed 2b Yukinas Ill die on this hill!!#yyh things #Hina #Yukina #Rui #Mukuro
