How do people assume that Gon is the talkative one out of the two when we literally have this in canon :
I'm not saying Killua is talkative either, but what I'm saying is that both are kids , both are energetic, and both would be goofing and play around, greed Island was clear enough to prove that , yet , you'll still find some people LOVES to characterize Killua as this emo gloomy traumatized edgelord , well , Killua is not some Sasuke or Bakugo,sorry to disappoint you,
( not to mention how they love to make Gon seems " stupid and acts like a 4 years old " because that's a whole different story)
And I REALLY think it's unfair to mischaracterize them just in sake of them to fit with " your " headcanons and fantasies ( I'm not saying you're not allowed to enjoy yourself, I'm saying don't talk or act as if your headcanons are canon )
I might seem sensitive, but that's how much I value hxh and cherish Gon and Killua.
Everyone still interprets the “you are light” scene….WRONG.
it is not “you are light” and you are my sun and my stars and my moon – it is, “Gon, you are too optimistic and sometimes I can’t see what I should…” aka: logic
In that scene, Killua is admitting to knowing that Gon is an optimistic fool…but negates his own rational side and stays positive with Gon. WHICH EITHER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT – WOULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. If Killua said, “no gon, give up on kite and your optimism of him being alive” … that clearly wouldn’t have ended well. And the other side of it was…EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. Gon’s optimism burning and crashing at his feat.
Gon had a lot of growing and learning to do…it’s unfortunate that it came at such a shitty cost, but it happened. And Killua, his best friend, was there every step of the way. Just as Gon had saved Killua in the beginning, Killua had saved Gon in the end.
character….DEVELOPMENT. Friendship….DEVELOPMENT.

so i ended up pulling out my japanese copy of vol 32 bc i was curious about the scar thing and i noticed something else that was really interesting. also hella fucked up lmao. did you know that in illumi's fucking creepy scene when he sees the amount of power from nanika healing gon, nanika's name has "kore" in furigana? just to drive the dehumanization home. he literally says ナニカ(これ)はオレのものだ‼ (literal translation: this is my object)
OH THIS IS SUCH A GOOD CATCH, THANK YOU!!
So, to explain to everyone here who doesn’t know what furigana is, furigana is basically a reading aid in Japanese. So sometimes complicated kanji has text in hiragana (the basic alphabet) beside it to let readers know how to pronounce the word if they can’t read it.
I just googled ‘furigana’ to find some example images to better explain:
How it appears in manga:
So!! What @itsybitsyjoltik just pointed out is that, in the manga, Illumi’s dialogue is written as “Nanika belongs to me” but Nanika’s name has the furigana for the word “this” above it, so Illumi is clearly referring to Nanika but calling her “this”. He also uses the word ‘mono’ (もの/物), which refers to objects. (There is a way of using ‘mono’ to refer to people, but it’s written as 者 and almost always has a qualifier before it). So he is basically saying “this thing/object belongs to me”, and it’s VERY deliberately written by Togashi to drive home the point that Nanika is being treated as subhuman again.
Ahhh, I really need to buy all the Japanese manga volumes…! I’m sure there’s a ton of stuff like this I’m missing out on. Thanks for catching this!!

Exposure therapy can be among the most traumatic ways to work through a phobia or trigger. It can backfire spectacularly. It should only be undertaken with intense motivation, and carefully and slowly.
All that being said, when it works, it can also be one of the fastest ways to break through.
Killua is doing so much here, and under the worst possible pressure.

Why does the fandom think Killua is an "emotionless character who didn't know the meaning of friendship", when Milluki clearly mentioned in the Zoldyck family arc that Killua is emotional and loves to make friends?
Killua is literally the sweetest, most emphatic, social, fun-loving, effusive boy. He’s the least emotionless character ever. The entire hxh show is 70% Killua’s internal emotional anxiety.
I guess some people want Killua to be that edgy 90s sad little anime boy so badly.

me, in the shower, contemplating life: honestly truly there is no child as good and pure as my son killua. he only ever wanted to make friends he treats alluka so well (and we KNOW he didn't learn that behaviour from the rest of his family). consider how MUCH he's willing to do for his friends, not just gon but kurapika and leorio too. this tiny tiny child is just so perfect and selfless and kind. contemplate how much everyone depends on him to be the calm and rational one... that'S SO MUCH PRESSURE he's 12!!!! but my son can do it, my son can do anything i am so proud :')) he is so cute and remember those little cat faces he does sometimes?? precious oh yes. and he is trying his best oh boy he's really just trying to do the right thing! truly nothing can compare to my beautiful, brilliant boy
