oooooh ok! thank you! so again, bearing in mind I’m only up to Yorkshin (well, just finished) so things like Chimera Ant (?) which I have the feeling are significant, can’t be considered yet. All the same! (apologies, this got long...)

Why I like them

I relate to Gon a fair bit, and in some ways look up to his character traits. On that side of things I like the fact he’s brave, open, honest, mischievous, outgoing, intuitive and clever. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t see boundaries so much as bridges to be crossed, and I love that. He’s caring towards his friends, and protective of them. As a character I also find him fascinating! His drive, ambition and moral ambiguity are the things I find most interesting about him. Talk about iron will! And his willingness to pick and choose ‘morals’ as they suit (though I don’t think it’s quite so callous as that, more based on what he feels his right) is interesting. Plus the way he surprises people with his intelligence. And his affinity with nature. And him being slightly terrifying? In that superhuman strength/agility/resilience kind of way. That’s interesting. And his poker face! I like the fact that he’s reserved when in distress, he’s a very human character.

tl;dr lots of reasons. i love him

Why I don’t

Hm, I haven’t seen much of it yet but I’m getting the impression he’s pretty selfish later on. That’s not necessarily a problem - flawed characters are infinitely more interesting than perfect ones and he’s a kid, for goodness sake. But it makes me worry, and sad for both him and his friends. Hmm. Sometimes he’s a bit needlessly reckless? Not so much something I don’t like (it’s sort of cute/hilarious) as something that makes me bang my head against my desk. Ditto with bouts of naivety.

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

Ooh, episode 1 was a great introduction, 30 felt like the proper introduction of badass Gon, 37 (domestic killugon omg), 50 (more Killugon but also quick thinking in tight situation, dealing with Nobunaga, dealing with Killua’s flashbacks), 57....So far!

Favorite season/movie

I feel like each season of HxH is better than the last? So Yorkshin for now

Favorite line

Um, couldn’t choose!

- ‘Yeah, I’m not interested in the ball’ (#intuitive Gon)

- ‘Killua’s incredible, isn’t he?’ / ‘Both of them?’ (about assassin parents. I’m Killugon trash I’m sorry)

-"Being able to cry for his companion. I was thinking you couldn't cry, nor did you have a heart. But in that case why... even a little... don't you share that feeling... with all the people you kill !!" (#GonMorals)

Favorite outfit

Partly because it’s hard to imagine him without - standard green jacket and booty shorts? Though the little white vest/turtleneck thing he wore on Whale island was adorable! and the introduction shot of him hunting the lord of the lake with leaves etc was an awesome character framing scene

OTP

KILLUGON

Brotp

Kurapika, I think. I head canon that Kurapika/Killua and Leorio/Gon are similar kinds of people, but I also think having that counterbalance is cool and interesting and healthy (and I couldn’t say Killua again...)

Head Canon

Hmm, mostly physical stuff? Gon definitely has calloused palms and thick freckles and dark skin in my head. Also lots and lots of scars, from everything from death-defying battles to hitting his thumb with a hammer. I imagine him as quite a practical person, who likes to work with his hands? Like in another life I can see him as a carpenter/potter/blacksmith/gardener. And I do think he’d quite enjoy cooking, tbh. 

I can definitely see where people are coming from with asexual Gon, but partly for indulgent and partly for personal and partly for sort of show reasons, I head canon him as pansexual. (And a dog person. Killua being an exception.) Likes spicy food. Drinks beer, not spirits, when he’s older. Fruit over chocolate. Terrible at video games, good at cards?

(He figures out he loves Killua first, but he leaves it because he doesn’t trust himself with the feeling until he thinks he’s ready to bear it and the commitment seriously)

Unpopular opinion

Um? So I’m getting some hints people don’t think Gon cares about Killua, at least as much as Killua does him. I’m also getting the impression canon has a reason for that later, but for now I guess I don’t see it? I think they have very different personalities and that they express themselves in different ways, but I also feel like Gon goes out of his way to let Killua know how much he admires him

A wish

Killugon canon? Heh. I don’t care if it was some LoK ‘this is definitely there but also censors’ hand holding, just a little, just enough. And uh, a reunion, since I think I read somewhere they leave each other.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

Never sees Killua again. No wait. Finds Killua dead/ is found dead. No wait. Is unable to protect Killua/ can’t be protected. No wait, Leorio, Kurapika and Killua are killed and he walks alone, no wait, he walks alone anyway, no wait.... (oh god angst)

5 words to best describe them

Wild, open, honest, free, passionate

My nickname for them

i’m going to do this with you ;A; HXH TUESDAY FOREVER (still denying perhaps)

asdhsajkds! Yaaas!!!

Thanks for the response <3 AND HXH RADIO IS GOLD. I LOVE IT SO MUCH, IT’S INGENIOUS.

wooowowowow hiii! okay~

14. What makes you laugh no matter what?

this is a very difficult question because i find so many stuff funny and whenever a random joke or event that happened years ago would pop in my head i just crack like mad. but recently my sis and i were watching these funny cat videos and we’d play a particular clip over and over and we’d laugh so hard over and again. try it sometime it’s really fuuunnn!

hmm… what else… dogs. they can be adorable dorks at times and watching them makes me laugh. i love my dogs. and oh OH haha i just remembered. 1999 hunter x hunter radio. no matter how many times i listen 1999 hxh seiyuus knock me out. i guess my fave would be in the hunter theme park episode, where hisoka found gon and killua and had them star in a play. killua was doing this introduction thing and he’s presenting who wrote/directed the play (which was hisoka), and just— hisoka’s laugh. HIS LAUGH after he said something like “i’m gonna make you dance in the palm of my hand~” that was just gold i laff every time

24.What ARE you looking forward to?

phew i am looking forward to a new and brighter perspective in life. lol and to graduating. and passing this semester’s thesis. and to having my own stuff and doing my own stuff that i love without society or anybody telling me not because they think it’s “impractical”, and to appreciative fellow countrymen, and to watching a lorde concert. pretty much yeah lol
