* Oh come on, if you didn’t already have an idea of how good of a dad this man would be you haven’t watched the show
* Leorio would be the biggest hypeman, protector, and supporter of his child it’s absurd
* If the child was a boy they would get up to so many mischievous acts when he grows up
* Whether that be eating icecream at 4am in the morning while his partner is passed out in the other room from having to deal with two very exhausting males
* Or running around the house with the kid on Leorio’s shoulders and almost knocking over every breakable item in there
* If the child was a girl, Leorio would be WAY more protective of her
* He’d be supervising her at the park and another little boy comes up to her and starts playing
* He would IMMEDIATELY walk over and give him the stink eye, telling him “I’m watching you” even though he’s like- 4 and probably cant even speak anyways
* He spends as much time as he can with her though in his time off, and he will agree to do anything with her like play dress up or have a tea time with her stuffed animals
* Whatever the case, Leorio has a really hard time saying no to his child. His partner would definitely have to be the more strict parent if they didn’t want the child to grow up rambunctious af
* I’m sure that as time went on, Leorio would gradually find it easier to be more stern after the initial baby fever went away
* He’s tired as hell all the time with his work mixed with being a parent, but he sucks it up because every minute he gets to spend with his kid is worth it
* He wants like- 4 kids max, but he knows it will probably be less from how busy he is
* Also side note Gon would be VERY present in this child’s life since he’s basically Leorio’s other son anyways, Gon and the kid would pretty much be siblings
* Sorry to all of yall who want kurapika babies but I genuinely feel like Kurapika would not want kids and would not enjoy being a father
* Kurapika would be rather strict as a parent if he had to have kids at some point, whether this was a semi adoptive relationship or his s/o had to take care of a kid
* He’s pretty distant at first and really hesitant to show much affection, he knows how much time and effort having a child takes and he’s really not willing to do that as it will interfere with his mission
* But as time goes on, Kurapika becomes more accustomed with the idea of showing kindness and love. He’s not very keen on doing it by words, but he does a lot through actions whether that be changing the kids diaper or always driving them where they need to go
* Kurapika is quite knowledgeable, so he’d be great at actually caring for the kid. He would make sure he’s prepared for this for the child’s sake, but he doesn’t really want to have to put all this effort in
* The kid is always taken care of physically, but not always mentally. Kurapika isn’t an extremely emotionally supportive person just because he’s more reserved and doesn’t enjoy sappy moments all that much, so you wouldn’t expect him to be like “i love you so much im so proud of you yas slay” (like leorio lmfao)
* Absolutely NO baby talk. None. This man talks to his child like they’re a full grown adult
* “Why are you crying?” *sigh* “You just ate 10 minutes ago. If you’re still hungry you need to tell me with words, not screaming.”
* This child is like 1 they can’t even speak
* He says it almost jokingly, he knows he’s talking to himself and that the kid can’t respond but he’s just thinking out loud
* Eventually he grows to be okay with having a kid, and he doesn’t want the child to think they are a burden to him at all. He’s still pretty distant, but the as the kid grows and understands more, they will always know that Kurapika does indeed love them, just in his own, subtle ways.
* What the fuck is anyone doing going and getting knocked up by hisoka and actually wanting him to stay in this kid’s life
* Sorry but once again, Hisoka would NOT be an excellent father. He wouldn’t be horrible, but he wouldn’t be great either.
* He would not choose to be a father if he had the choice, but let’s say in this scenario some random factor forces him to take care of a kid
* When he first gets the kid, he’s completely uneducated on how to take care of them so he treats them like a full fledged adult.
* He gets frustrated by the fact that there’s hardly any communication occurring, and plus the child is weak af so how could this be entertaining to Hisoka
* Hisoka is all about doing things because he finds them enjoyable, and raising a child is NOT enjoyable to him
* Let’s be honest there would be some serious neglect occuring here and he’d probably get CPS called on him
* He’d leave the mfer in their crib for like- hours and then come back and complain that he has to change their diaper
* When the child finally starts to become more independent, Hisoka actually is intrigued and starts to become more involved in their life
* Hisoka likes to take them wherever he goes, which is not exactly the best for the kid but he doesn’t really care.
* The one thing Hisoka is actually good at is protecting the kid. Despite him taking the kid into dangerous situations, he always keeps them out of lethal danger. Sure he’ll let them get a scratch or two, but their life will always be protected.
* Hisoka allows his child a lot of freedom because quite frankly- he doesn’t care. Hisoka has always done what hisoka wants so why should it be any different for his kid?
* At the end of the day he doesn’t really feel that bonded to the child- But he finds them interesting, interesting enough to keep them in his life
* By the time the kid has grown, they will learn to value Hisoka as the person who raised them but there’s not a lot of familial love. Both would be okay with that and I think the kid might turn out a little crazy but overall fine. They’d definitely fight in battles together cause God knows Hisoka probably raised this kid as a crazy powerful Nen user
* ANOTHER BAD ONE. Jesus christ phantom troupe arc characters are not good fathers
* No I’m kidding (🤥), Chrollo wouldn’t be too horrible actually
* Chrollo, similarly to Kurapika and Hisoka, would probably not choose to have a child
* But if he were forced to, he would not mind it that much.
* He’d keep the child around him for their protection, but he would not give them much attention. He doesn’t mind tending to their physical needs but he will not go above and beyond for them emotionally.
* When the child grows, he starts teaching them a lot about life and how to protect themselves. I think he enjoys having the privilege of guiding someone else through life because it intrigues him to see how a child turns out with his parenting style
* He grants the child independence and usually says yes to most of the kid’s requests, but its more of in a “yes but ask your other parent” way (even if the other parent is not present)
* Not that much of an emotionally unavailable dickhead, I think he’d be more inclined to actually be kind to his child rather than treat them coldly. He’s okay with spending time with them, but he makes sure they’re not a burden to him by making them independent
* The child will probably be pretty quiet considering how quiet Chrollo is. I think the kid would probably pick up the same habits as him like reading to entertain themselves since Chrollo isn’t very attentive.
* By the time the kid grows up, they’ll probably still be close to Chrollo but not really emotionally. It’s more like “Yeah, that’s my dad. He’s okay.”
* They’d definitely appreciate all he has taught them in life, but i think there’d still be much left to be desired in terms of his parenting
* Because the kid is older now, Chrollo doesn’t see much reason to keep being involved in their life so he just grows kind of distant and lets them make their own choices now
* Chrollo still acknowledges them, but he’s not gonna like give a weekly checkup call or anything.
* Overall, the kid would turn out okay and Chrollo at least passed at raising a kid
Thank you for reading! I am going to do the Chimera arc characters next and maybe an aged up Gon and Killua too. Lmk if you guys want anyone else :)
