Ty to @/princess-of-purple-prose for writing the alt text!

Some rare Fuki

I just realized with the 8 year timeskip kiana and Mei are almost 30 and I'm kind of losing my mind

and what happens if jing yuan succumbs to mara right when he has to fight jingliu/blade again, thus changing the commonly regarded "torturous fate" of being mara-struck to salvation from his personal worst nightmare i.e. killing his old companions with his own hands.

what then.

catching up on hxh really makes me realise i forgot how brilliant of a writer togashi is. the way he's able to bring together so many characters, each with their unique goals, personalities, and abilities, and make ten different plot points converge in a beautiful web is absolutely crazy. while i do think that his hiatus helps him to some degree, i do NOT tolerate people who cannot recognize the massive creativity that goes into this manga. hxh is goddamn complicated, and every character in it is done justice in the way they're portrayed. some of the most mind boggling abilities i could never even imagine have been introduced by togashi while complying WITH the rules of the complex nen system (contamination, cat's name, bungee gum, rising sun, bodhisattva, emperor time, love dial and so many more are increasingly unique abilities which showcase how massive and nuanced togashi's power system is). every arc is consistently gripping with a healthy focus on action AND politics, wherein togashi forces you to face some of the worst deeds of society (with kakin empire being the most recent and perhaps the most disgusting example), and that is no easy feat. plus the way he's constantly able to resist the classic good triumphs evil narration, instead choosing to showcase gray characters who simply happen to have goals aligned with the "good side" and who still leave a trail of destruction in their wake?? selfishness is an extremely common theme throughout the characters, whether it's Gon's actions in Chimera Arc, Killua's possessiveness, Leorio's motivations, Kurapika's rage and grief that threatens to overpower even himself, or hell even Phantom Troupe's actions, and it really sticks with me as a reader. seriously, what an inspiration.

much needed addition, series medicine seller is also entitled to diva moments <3

mononoke is so funny because you have the series medicine seller who's like idgaf war veteran on the 9-5 grind and judging people in his head sexily and then you have movie medicine seller whose whole thing is poster pretty boy does unnecessary twirls and flips while hunting down enemies and ships lesbians in free time
