Yeah

When people make disparaging comments, just say thank you.

“You’ve gain weight” “Thank you” “…”

Then they have to either settle with being misunderstood or double down and explicitly explain that they were intentionally being unkind.

I work at a church and religious people use coded language to say crummy things in camouflaged/passive aggressive ways. Today someone told me, “that was an…interesting sermon…”

“Thank you.” <smile>

Then I got to watch them squirm as they tried to decide how to respond.

Tl;dnr: when people are passive aggressive, just say thank you.

I’m not really fan of the hxh movies bc my brain can’t shut up about how it doesn’t feel like HxH…BUT…this specific exchange after Gon decided to fight Jet to help Kurapika…

…destroyed me.

I MEAN, if you watch the movie before finished the Chimera Ant Arc, the scene is just a nice fan service…BUT, if you finished it, you can see the little parallelism between this situation and what happened in the anime/manga, and how MadHouse decide to break our hearts once again.

One of Gon’s close friends’ life is in danger (Kurapika/Kaito) and he need to beat/kill the responsable (Jet/Pitou) so save him, but when Gon look at Killua and says his name, the movie take a different route than the Manga/Anime.

Gon wants Killua at his side, to fight with him, to Killua to support him to helps Kurapika. Unlike CA!Killua, Movie!Killua got what his manga/anime counterpart could only wish for and didn’t got.

Of course, in CA, the conflict have A LOT MORE emotional weight but that doesn’t change the fact that Madhouse knew that we knows how much this means/will mean to CA!Killua. The scene destroyed me because I can only see Movie!Killua and say “…I really wish that in a future arc, (canon) Killua could fight along with Gon without doubting his place at his side and how much he means to him”.

Hi, this is my first post. To anyone who sees this. Have a good day mate ;)

im losing my marbles over the fact that elita SAID that she was happy that dee had someone close to him. she said she was happy he found someone like that but he had to balance hanging out with orion and his work like WHICH IS GENUINE GOOD ADVICE.

and then dee still said that orion was insignificant... he didn't need to somehow prove that orion wasn't a distraction. he didn't need to make it clear that orion didn't mean anything to him. elita knows that orion means something. and she congratulated dee on finding someone like that. and then dee still turned around and denounced it. ohhhh my heart.

and the fact that ORION HEARD THE WHOLE CONVERSATION..... it's not even miscommunication, orion has all of the context. it's just flat out dee denying that he means anything to him. and dee means so so much to orion. i cannot see any way this will end badly /silly

YOU'RE RIGHT AND THIS IS PERFECT SUMMARY OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CONVEYED OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO KISS YOU

People were saying it's Elita's fault like NO! Don't baby D-16 here, it's all him. In that moment, he felt that his feelings for Orion were a weakness or a wound that the public could sneer and poke at but that's not it at all??? He was trying to overcompensate for his lack of security and and in turn said things that hurt Orion.

We all say things that we didn't think through and when it hurts people, WE SUCK IT UP AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. There's no miscommunication, that boy did this to himself
