if you actually engage with feminist theory it's really easy to understand that when people say "there is no form of oppression/violence that targets different classes of men for the sole reason of being men" they do not mean "different classes of men never experience unique forms of oppression/violence that relate to their gendered position" but rather "the root of the oppression/violence that different classes of men experience is still misogyny and racism and its uniqueness stems from the position that these classes of men occupy in relation to misogynistic and racist ideas of gender. therefore it is more useful, and indeed necessary, to examine how misogyny and racism lead to this form of violence/oppression rather than distinguish yourself from misogyny and racism."

but i suppose it's too much to ask people to engage with feminist theory.

Something I never see anyone bring up is how Killua was planning to leave Gon without letting Gon have a say in it.

If we see it from Gon's perspective, would not that hurt?

Sure it is a decision made due to insecurities and an act of love because that's what he thought was the best for Gon. Killua being Killua, he never shares his emotions so most likely he would have hidden his sadness, act as if everything is okay and would tell Gon that he found something he wants to do and it's time to say goodbye.

Gon being Gon, would be surprised but would not stop Killua despite not wishing to part, but he would be missing him cause Killua's presence in Gon's life feels so natural to him. When Killua was wondering what he should do with his life Gon's was surprised cause his tone implied that it is a given that Killua should stick with him. Gon would definitely be sad and miss Killua and he would never know the reason he left, which can be considered hurtful and selfish.If Gon knew, he would be upset and even more sad at the knowledge that Killua doubts their friendship like that and sees himself as unworthy.

Yes, Gon can be selfish at times but also Killua's habit of hiding his emotions does not help their dynamic to improve either. It actually adds to the problem.

At the end of the day, they are two kids who mean the world to each other but they can get so lost in their emotions that they fail to be considerate of each other at times, and it's a perfect representation of relationships between teenagers, because I have not witnessed a single teen relationship where all parties involved have not hurt each other at least once. This does not necessarily mean that they don't care about each other, it just means they are too young to be in touch with their emotions and manage them properly.

Thus, I believe that Killua and Gon's friendship is not doomed or destroyed beyond repair, because either of them could hurt the other depending on the situation, but it does not erase the fact that they are important to each other.

I THINK WHERE I COME FROM IS LEAVING, a 13-page hxh fancomic i made for @zine--garden. (thank you so much for having me T__T everyone keep an eye out for aftersales!)

this is amazing wth! and a tad relatable

TAROT READING OPEN🖖🪬 more explanation under the cut

Why do the "let dudes be friends" ppl only ever say that about the gayest motherfuckers who have ever walked the earth??? So many good examples and good representation of dudes being pals, but you have to say this shit about the two men who stare at each other's lips for a living and clearly dream about each other at night???

they should make a version of socializing that doesn’t make you feel like you’re still the weird 12 year old kid that doesn’t know why she’s not normal like the other kids

one of my favorite parts about Percy being Obviously Bi™ is he doesn't universally describe one gender as attractive. Like he doesn't just say all girls are cute and guys are just okay or whatever or vice versa. No, he has specific girls he finds pretty and specific guys he finds pretty, and he voices that opinion.

For example - Clarisse? Thalia? Meh. Even Silena, who is canonically very pretty, Percy is relatively neutral on. But Annabeth? Rachel? Calypso? 100%. And based on differences in descriptions like that we can tell when Percy is attracted to somebody versus isn't. He calls everybody else in Beckendorf's cabin ugly and then waxes poetic about how hot Beckendorf is specifically. He'll describe most guys as just "eh" with plain physical descriptors but every time he sees Luke he feels the need to specify that Luke is extremely hot while being very evil and how much he hates Luke's stupid very very pretty face. love that for you Percy. great work.
