#killua speaks

[sepiamestus]

it should be illegal for reddit anime dudes to have Killua profile pictures because it contributes to the misconception that Killua is your average reddit dude anime boy like no no you dont understand. He's a gay twelve year old with infinite money and dresses exactly how you would expect a gay twelve year old with infinite money to dress. He has one of the best character arcs of all time in which at one point he does impromptu brain surgery on himself as an allegory for overcoming trauma. He has a trans little sister and aggressively corrects anyone who misgenders her. He fights with yo yos and a skateboard. He almost got killed by playing darts with an ant once. He spent a million dollars on robot shaped chocolate. He looks like tjis

Killua continues to be the most effortlessly cool character I've ever seen

ngl im in love with characters who have only ever be treated as weapons and who don't know how to be humans learning how to be humans. im in love with *blank face* "i will kill anyone that bothers you" "no. there are other ways to deal with that." im in love with them learning that 'need' and 'want' aren't as distinct as they thought, and that 'need' isn't just "i will die if i don't get it". i love love love everything about people learning to be humans

how destiny's child emotion and killugon are post-separation parallels; a very, very long analysis i wrote in 2h

hi! im danaë, an autistic person which sp-in is psychology and hxh, mainly killugon. i spent two hours yesterday writing about this topic instead of sleeping so enjoy it lol

WARNING!! if you didn't notice THEY'RE LOVE INTERESTS. this text isn't killugon-free, im proud of it AND im blocking everyone that cries about them being only besties. respectfully, no. thank you. (also, english isn't my first language. sorry for any eventual spelling mistakes!)

right on the first verse we hear "it's over and done / but the heartache lives on the inside / and who are you clinging to instead of me tonight?". this could apply to both gon and killua.

gon & "and who are you clinging to instead of me tonight?". killua left with alluka, he has someone to care about and protect. he has company. gon isn't the type to be jealous of a little girl (really, people need to wake up about it. he isn't), but he IS the type to be sad about not being cared even if he denies it. he's a kid; every kid likes to feel protected.

but the thing is, killua isn't happy about it neither. even if he loves to protect alluka, it's different. he loves her, of course, but there's the lack of the warmth of being mutually cared because gon ALSO cared about his well-being (and im fighting everyone who says he didn't). im not saying alluka won't care for killua, but she'll care like a little sister does, not how someone that love you romantically does — and that's good because killua would NOT be able to make it if anyone tried to be the tiniest bit of what gon was when they parted ways.

and then comes this: "and where are you now? / now that I need you? / tears on my pillow / wherever you go, go". oh, dude. this is so killugon i feel ashamed of trying to explain to hxh community /hj

they both were constantly hurting from being away, even though this was the best for them at the time. they wanted each other to be near, wanted and needed, but they couldn't. there is this thin and fragile veil of deep sorrow that would make them get so attached to the other that would be more sickening than the sadness of losing their "other piece" for a while. it's more worth crying over memories than losing their mind from being deadly (metaphorically and literally) codependent.

this links to the next phrase: "i'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean". crying alone is more safe than being next to each other. they'll cry over memories, as i said, and they'll cry about distance and they'll cry over everything that could've been different. they'll find the other in their tears, the hugs will come out of the bittersweet sorrow they carry around, but they'll be separated. they can cry rivers that lead to a valley of what it was and what could've been, but it'll be all. the sadness won't make them be together again.

there comes killua part: "you'll never see me fall apart". he needs to be the big brother now. he need to be alluka's point of safety so he can assure their existence, and for this killua needs to be strong as a rock, he needs alluka to look at him and think she can trust him with anything. he's the big brother, isn't he? emotions about a past that doesn't belong to him anymore aren't going to help with surviving. but he does break silently, while he is trying to sleep ("tears on my pillow"), when something looks to much like a typically gon thing, when memories crawl in. he's just a fragile boy needing to use the super strong hero facade again.

the first part of the next verse is "in the words of a broken heart / it's just emotions taking me over / caught up in sorrow, lost in the song / but if you don't come back / come home to me, darling". this is suffering. both of them are heartbroken, left "alone" to face worlds they feel they don't belong to anymore, wanting their partner in crime to make things less insufferable. they remember the other on daily little things — a song, a quote, a smell. but killua never comes to visit and gon isn't able to do it either — there's no home left besides each other's hearts, and they live there rent-free even if it hurts like hell. memories hurt, the past is like glass and salt being poured into an open wound to later be mixed with alcohol, but they aren't able to say goodbye to it because saying goodbye to the pain is like saying goodbye to the last tangible thing they've from each other — ironically, the pain of being separated —, and the last thing they want is to say goodbye again so they hold it close to their hearts like a trophy.

but as if they're bargaining, here comes "don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight? / and don't you know there's nobody left in this world kiss goodnight?". there's people, but there's nothing of what they need. they need someone that knows how to make them feel safe, loved, safe — nor alluka or mito can do this for neither gon or killua the way they need it to be done. they try to, but they can't because the type of sadness they're carrying is exclusively from a love that never had a true end; they parted ways, but never stopped loving each other even if their trust was a little bit weaker, and carrying a love that is technically in open hurts so much that no one can try to mimic how it was. a tight hug from mito or alluka won't be the same of a silly headpat from killua or a bright smile from gon because isn't about the act but who's doing it.

and then we've the last verse before the music repeats itself, that i truly believe that wraps up everything in killugon's love story: "i'm there at your side / a part of all the things you are / but you got a part of someone else / you gotta go find your shining star".

gon wanted to find ging and be back at whale's island; killua had to protect alluka. they felt so much love, but they had other people in their lives too that needed to be looked over. even if their story is forever intertwined at some point, both of them are mix of a lot of people and have small amounts of them inside themselves. this is what makes it a tiny little bit easier to go through not having each other near: other people. the tiny pieces of every person they've ever met that created their personality and their new horizons are what eventually make them heal from all the suffering and sorrow and finally be able to reunite again, friendship strong and a love so healthy like a daisy that just blossomed.

they're forever in love. the distance and the sadness was necessary for them to see that things can be hard to handle alone, but they're never alone as they have other people that care for them deeply and are willing to see them fully happy — just as in emotion's music video. when they learn to be complete by themselves, they can multiply together and form a relationship that adds up, not that is dangerously subtracting their mental health. they deserve to love each other when they're ready. ♡

end of the analysis. thx for reading this bible i wrote in 2h lol

Killua is my baby but Kurapika is my babygirl :3

[xchainxbastardx]

since this has turned part personal / part hxh blog i feel this is an appropriate place to share my ideas of What If HXH... Was In Elder Scrolls

Kurapika would be a Snow Elf, full stop. i pondered this for quit some time until i had a sudden realization recalling the Dawnguard dlc as well as the Eyes of the Falmer plot point in the thieves guild storyline.

• last (or one of the last) survivors of the Falmer before they were taken and subsequently abandoned by the Dwemer. likely survived through several millennia either on account of vampirism or lycanthropy

• the fact that the falmer were forced to blind themselves as part of their deal with the dwemer semi parallels the slaughtering of and subsequent occular harvesting of the kurta

• now the eyes of the falmer in the thieves guild storyline are just giant jewels from a giant pre-corruption falmer statue but it makes SENSE!!!

Killua would be an Argonian. now i know what you're thinking, wouldn't it make more sense for him to be a khajiit? since he's heavily associated with cats? well, yeah, but hear me out

• in Black Marsh, argonians born under the Sign of The Shadow are destined to become Shadowscales, taken from birth and trained to be assassins from birth to work under the Dark Brotherhood

• in HXH main, killua was forced to become an assassin due to the circumstances of his birth, which fits perfectly with him being destined to be a shadowscale

• argonians who live to be of age are accepted as full members of the brotherhood, but may choose to leave the brotherhood and serve the argonian people in black marsh as agents of needed change and arbiters. this sort of fits with his story but i imagine like in source he got fed up with the people in charge controlling every aspect of his life and fled from black marsh in a similar manner to fleeing from the zoldyck manor

Gon would more than likely be a Bosmer, or wood elf, this is the most straightforward conclusion IMO and it makes the most sense to me

• Bosmer come from the province of Valenwood and are very much the stereotypical Nature Elves

• Bosmer in general prefer "a more romantic, simple existence in harmony with the land and its wild beauty and creatures." they are also nimble and quick, and looked down upon as "unruly and naive" by the Altmer (High Elves)

• gon pretty much hits the bill on all of those LOL

And Leorio. Who gets to be the basically Normal Guy race. I figure he would be a Breton.

• they're very well rounded and can pretty much fall into any role. Breton are also descended from a half-elven lineage which gives them an innate advantage with using magic, though not as much as their full elven counterparts

• with an advantage in magic, leorio would certainly use that to his advantage as a healer utilizing restoration magic

• Breton are also a lot more complex and lore rich than a lot of people realize! making being a breton a perfect fit for Leorio, who has a facade of being a shady business man who only wants money and nothing else, but later revealing his true motivations and that he is actually kind and caring beyond his surface level facade

• thats really about it im sorry leorio </3

Just saw someone say Geto and Gojo share a "middle" birthday of July 7, like okay everyone wants what he has
