I Think That One Of My Favorite Things About Hunter X Hunter Is The Way Togashi Makes Us Think That Gon

i tried the game evade, and it was fun. i’ll have to get used to the keys different things, but it’s still super fun!

i’ve been playing on the casual game mode it reccomends to new players, but i’ll try the other ones once i get a little bit more used to the keys! :))

Thinking about it, the Mystery Twins are those dumb people that walk towards the creepy sound at night on a horror movie, except they actually survive.

ok wait, reblog if you’ve cried at least once because of math, doesn’t matter which grade i’m trying to prove something 

Imitation and Flattery Pt. 2

I’ll try to keep this short because if I write too much, I’ll lose all desire to explore these same themes as fiction which is the current goal, XD.  

So in a previous post, I mentioned that once Gon rescues Killua from Kukuroo Mountain and they go to Heaven’s Arena together, their relationship becomes instantly close and they start to mimic each other, which you can see in all of the reaction shots where they share the panel or have side by side panels.  

And the change in the relationship is lampshaded too:

There’s literally like 100 panels in this arc (4-5 per chapter) that show Gon and Killua’s reactions side by side, starting from this one. Most of the time, they have the same or a similar expression and the composition is also similar.  Sometimes they have different reactions and are deliberately contrasted, which I’ll get into later.

Given what we find out about Killua much further down the line (re: codependency), I’d assumed he was mimicking Gon because he is just SO GRATEFUL to be rescued, but after reading through the arc again I’m not sure that’s really what’s happening.  If anything, I think they trade off being the leader or follower depending on the situation. You can tell who’s the leader, or “protagonist” of the moment, by who’s shown on the right in the panel composition.  That’s because Japanese reads from right to left… 

I took a bunch of screencaps… like probably too many… this is gonna be long (despite my intentions) so, I’ll put it behind a cut:

It's like, 10:52pm and I have online school tomorrow.

this is great not being able to sleep so I'm posting here.

yay.

do y'all think that maybe killua loved illumi at all?

i wanna think that before the training started, maybe he did, probably thought he looked kinda weird but still loved him even tho he looked creepy

something i was thinking about

If someone were to ask me what I could binge hours upon hours of, clearly, I’d say Hunter X Hunter. It could be either the 2011, 1999, or even the manga, but I can say that I most definitely can watch hours worth of people analyzing the characters and the impact their backgrounds and walks of life play on their emotional, physical, and mental states.

Through those videos, I can understand the characters better and understand how they got there, with those specific motives and drives for what they do on a more in-depth level.

Another thing that I get from the videos is understanding not only the true impacts certain ways of life, habits, trauma, and issues have on the psyche of the characters and those around them, but it also helps me to understand the show waaaaaayyyy better.

Little side note, I notice that it also seeps into my life. The impact this show had on me didn’t entirely occur to me until I binged people analyzing the world and characters. I, for once, truly learned something that has stuck with me for longer than most other things have.
