And everyday we grow.  Happy Birthday Killua. 07.07.18

This was heavily inspired by a sentence in @murderxbaby​‘s beautiful fic WeHappyFew. + inspo by the gorgeous @decembercamiecherries​. 

Killua wrote this

i like to pretend i’m a heartless apathetic b*tch but in reality i’m a baby who cares a fucking lot and emotionally invests myself in everything and is hurt 98.3% of the time

There was no in-between with him. He was either all or nothing. [insp]

KILLUA OH MY GOD????

HUNTER × HUNTER || chapter 85

A nice little squad moment that was changed in 2011 adaptation. Gon considerately looking at his friends... Killua and Leorio's encouraging smiles... 💞

キルアVSきゅうり

Killua:*in a crowd and can’t find Illumi* Good.

HxH Translation Tidbit

In the following post I will attempt to explain how Hisoka nearly got himself killed asking Illumi for permission to fuck Killua.

This is the scene in question:

As you may remember, Illumi asks Hisoka to help him in capturing Killua to prevent him from using Allukas powers to help Gon. Hisoka then turns to Illumi and asks him the following:

ところで、僕はキルアをやるのは、ありかい？

Both the manga and anime translate this as

By the way, am I allowed to kill Killua?

Which is fair enough, except that Hisoka never mentions killing him at all. The verb he uses is やる which literally means “to do”. It’s used as a euphemism for killing, but, you guessed it, it is also a euphemism for, well, sex. But how can we tell which one Hisoka is referring to?

Here, his gesture comes into play. Of course, the anime is faithful to the original. This is Hisoka in the manga:

The gesture is even more prominent here.

For everyone who isn’t savvy in Japanese nonverbal communication:

His hand gesture appears to be セックス (sekkusu), lit. Sex. It’s used so you don’t have to actually bring sex up in a conversation, but still make it clear that you’re talking about dirty stuff. Usually, this gesture requires the thumb to stick out between your middle and index finger, but this version is sometimes used as well. Since HxH appears in Jump, they might have had him change it as a form of censoring, but that’s just me taking guesses.

(Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig_sign)

On the Japanese wikipedia site for this sign it says that the thumb represents the penis, and the index and middle finger represent the vagina, it is possible that for this reason Hisoka chose the middle and ring finger instead, since Killua is a male.

In any case, it is clear that Hisoka is using this gesture to communicate to Illumi that he is talking about dirty stuff here. The fact that his words could mean both things work in his favor. He probably just said that to provoke Illumi, anyhow.

And that’s how Hisoka nearly died because of a stupid joke.

I do love all the posts talking about how lovely and wonderful Leorio is, don’t get me wrong

But he’s technically not the weakest in the group.  The 2011 anime just made him look that way

In terms of combat ability, yeah he’s probably the weakest.  He hasn’t really used his Nen in a full on battle so who knows.

But the 2011 downplayed his natural strength a lot, which makes me sad.

In the manga (and in the 1999 anime technically), they talk a lot about his physical strength as much as his emotional strength.  

During the Zoldyck Arc, he actually opened the Testing Gate by himself before anyone else after training for two weeks

And later on it’s mentioned that when everyone opened the Testing Gate on their own, Leorio was strong enough to move two of the gates

Weakest in combat skills?  Probably.  Weakest character of the main four?  Certainly not.  Leorio is a beast

whenever i see alluka on my dash:

there SHE is. i love HER. my beautiful precious DAUGHTER. lovely angel GIRL. a sweet  splendid PRINCESS. what a wonderful SISTER. my favorite FEMALE CHARACTER in hxh.

Killua and Alluka and Nanika

The reason Killua knows the rules for how Alluka and Nanika works?

He asked her. That’s it. 

“I asked for her to tell me how to turn her eyes back.”

Killua asked her, and he listened to her, and he respected her rules about herself.

(Hint hint hint if the gender identity connection wasn’t clear enough by now.)

That’s all. He’s the only one to ever talk directly to her, and ask. 

Remember mama Kurapika? Well, here’s papa Leorio and that disgusting stubble attack that every dad does to his kids. Ugh, dads!

here’s a list of what i look for in characters to start liking them: 

 they remind me of killua in any possible way

that’s it that’s the list 

HUNTER × HUNTER || Building Rapport & Camaraderie

HUNTER × HUNTER || Killua & Canary

What are hxh's themes?

Eeeeek okay. So HxH had a ton of themes, some unique to each arc, some overarching.

I’d say the overarching ones I’ll chat about here are growing up (aka responsibility), recovery from trauma, discovery, the importance of connection, and human nature. These are explored differently in each arc, though. First, I want to address overarching themes as addressed in the character development since HxH fundamentally addresses its themes through both character development and worldbuilding, and then I’ll briefly talk about each arc.

So let’s start with the premise. Here are our three main protagonists (there is a fourth but he doesn’t have an arc so I shan’t talk about him as much).

Gon–>a boy on a quest to find his father.

Killua–>a boy on a quest to escape his family.

Kurapika–>a boy on a quest to avenge his tribe.

Notice how it expands, showing us the importance of both self-discovery, connection, and discovery of the world in these quests and therefore the character development.

The way the Zoldyck family treats Alluka/Nanika is oddly close to the way some families treats a child a mental illness or a neurodivergence.

Nanika is “something”, something they can’t reach, they can’t control, they can’t understand. It appears suddenly, just like a crisis. It obeys to certain rules, and reccurences. It’s out of control, but it’s not a chaotic force.

But it has a strong destructive potentiel. Nanika can destroy the whole world. For abusive/controling families, a mentally ill and/or neurodivergent child can destroy their world, destroy what they care the most for : their appearance, the illusion of a perfect family, according to social norms they chose to follow.

The roles are reversed. The parents watch over the child for their own safety, not the child’s one.

So they hide them, they limit their activities, their interractions with the outside world. Their needs are denied, but because the illusion must remain, the parents provide for needs the child doesn’t have. For example, by filling a room with dolls and plushies.

The child is deshumanized. They’re just a body who has to act a certain way, say certain words, to please the parent. They’re just the inconvenience, the mental illness, the neurodivergence, the thing.

Then there is this other relative. An uncle, a grandma, a sibling. Who doesn’t see the child as a thing, but see who the child would have been if they were neurotypical.

This is why the scene where Killua asks Nanika to go is so important. He wants to protect his sister from what makes her different - makes her a target for abuse. But Alluka is clear : she can’t do that. She doesn’t want to do that.

“Love as a whole, or no love me at all”, this is what she could have said.

You didn’t escape from abuse if you came from conditional hate to conditional love.

And Killua proves her both he loves them unconditionally. 

They escaped.

This is so close to the journey of so many mentally ill and/or neurodivergent kids in abusive/controlling families, it can’t be a coincidence.

Hunter x Hunter challenge: Day 1 - Favourite Character

I decided to do this with half-drawing half-storytime, those which are drawable i’ll draw, those which aren’t drawable i write an essay about.

Don’t expect day 2 the next day, unless the stars align. My life is hiatus x hiatus :p

Anyway, it’s Killua! I know this is a rather stereotypical choice, but I feel like I’m somewhat similar to him. Besides, my friend says I sound like him, so that’s something interesting I might experiment with in the future.

Killua’s eyes >> Bisky’s blue planet

tbh i feel like we’re beating a dead horse when it comes to tragedy and heartbreak and Killua. 

He is not some sad, broken, horrifically tragic character that you can [INSERT SELF HERE] and pull this angsty bullshit out of.

Yes, Killua was trained from birth to be an assassin. 

The Zoldycks are assassins. His family was the top most wanted and most wanted dead by all the descendants (family, mob members, etc.) of the people they’d been paid to assassinate over a countless number of years. Imagine if they hadn’t, at the very least, trained their children to withstand any misfortunate outcomes they would’ve encountered if they were to become abducted and used as hostages. Because that possibility was a sincere reality.

Let me say this again: the Zoldycks are assassins. They do not “beat” their children because they do not love them…they do not hurt their children because they are heartless monsters who take their rage and pain out on them.

And in their own sick, twisted way – in a way we cannot relate to – the Zoldycks actually love Killua. Yes, Silva was a manipulative asshole who essentially only wanted Killua to come back and be the heir – but still, he loves Killua. We think it’s wrong and we do not understand it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. The Zoldycks love each other in the only way they know how. 

They’re not a heartless, uncaring family. Yes, their ways of raising their children are different, unique and it’s fucked up, but those are their ways. This is what they believe in. The Zoldycks truly believe their methods are in their children’s best interest. 

They’re assassins!

And despite how fucked up it is, Killua took the best out of his abuse and turned it into something he could actually use to his advantage. Somebody trying to poison him? Nope, not fucking happening. Somebody trying to electrocute him? Nope, not fucking happening. A mother fucking serial killer trying to break his bones? Nope, not fucking happening. 

Oh look, he just ripped their heart out.

He got electrocuted as a kid? Aight, now lets watch him turn his aura into fucking electricity and kill these dickheads and take names.

Again, Killua makes the best out of his abuse. He is resilient. He owns it. And no, of course he’s not thankful for it. But he embraces it, he makes himself stronger because of it.

So why don’t we talk about that?

“Why do I like Killua so much? Because although he was abused, bro moved forward and came out on top.”

“Why is he my favorite character? Because he’s a god damn inspiration and the White Haired Kid Who Actually Lived.”
