there are some key things people get wrong about illumi a lot.

for starters, it seems his nearly total lack of emoting has people writing his dialogue as overly formal, always full sentences, when both the way he speaks and his voice acting (in japanese, at least) are quite light-hearted. he sounds very #unbothered at least 70% of the time.

another fact is that regarding illumi and hisoka's friendship/partnership... it definitely didn't start off as a childhood meet-cute. illumi notably mentions he hasn't known hisoka for all that long during the hunter exam, despite the opposite often being assumed (especially as a backdrop in fic otherwise written to be canon-compliant).

i mostly hate illumi but he is so misunderstood ngl. like damn sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same show when reading a fic or commentary.. i mean yeah okay fanfics are for fun and i love some absolutely non canon stuff but he is Not that person!

rather be hated for something that is truthful than loved for something that is false 💯

#love illumi but you're very real for this #also edit the irony of a quattro icon saying this. he is crying as we speak

today's menu, once again: regarding the logistics of hxh duos relationships

so. ging and pariston. paying a little bit of attention to how they interact, we bump into what can be seen as a contradiction, namely their closeness (or lack thereof)

regard:

pariston about ging

his internal monologue seems to imply he is learning/confirming (note the 'do' in 'we do think alike) something for the first time. this isn't the sort of thing you'd expect someone to figure out after having spent a great deal of time together. it sounds a lot like pariston is finding this out as the reader is too, which is peculiar. perhaps the zodiac meetings weren't great for getting to know ging (especially if he's usually absent)

on the other hand, however, ging about pariston...

complicated. note, this translation is unfortunate in that it leaves out a crucial detail (which is that ging is actually referring to pariston as the shortened 'paris') that just furthers this sort of contrasting view they have of their relationship; ging calls him by a nickname, pariston politely and perhaps professionally goes with the distant 'ging-san'. going back to the screenshot, however... this is interesting. if it were just that they were coworkers like any other zodiacs, calling it a complicated history seems a bit much. so what gives?

the type of scenario i can picture is one in which they know of each other a lot longer than they have actually interacted (like a summer friendship, across many years but only ever meet occasionally) which is fascinating. was communication done through netero (who might've enjoyed the idea of these two butting heads -> actually the 'we do think alike' might very likely be a confirmation of something netero himself told pariston), building an image of the other up in their minds. were they constantly throwing a wrench in the others plans without direct contact? potentially, ging and pariston both seem to agree the latter really wanted ging's attention for ages, so was the fact ging is so distant a factor in fueling pariston's strange focus on him? much to ponder.

final sidenote: there might also be a difference in how confident they are of having understood the other. pariston seems to strongly believe in ging's qualities and skills (duh), but be more cautious about making judgements about the man himself too early, meanwhile ging, while having a good grasp on paristons modus operandi...

...might be a bit overconfident...

(also hehe note the smug-fruity pose in ging's mental image of pariston. definitely much to ponder)

he was literally just one of those 'hmf!' anime girls when he tied his hair it's quite incredible actually

#tog season 1 you will forever remain goated #tower of god #khun aguero agnes #khun aa #tog #thoughts on tog #he's bratty #have you guys seen that one reactor who reacted to s1 with his girlfriend and you could really tell seeing ponytail khun #awakened something in him because he kept mentioning it #even one week later during the next episode #his impact..

bam interacting with hansung in like s3 of the manhwa or whatever gives the vibe of someone interacting with an aunt they fucking hate

#in general the way their relationship progresses is really funny #evil-intent manipulator + naive and respectful manipulatee -> The Bane of Bam's Existence (left him traumatised) ->#to seeming like hansung is both less gleefully sadistic towards him and seems to have gained some respect for him along the way but it feels #somewhat awkward..#tower of god #hansung yu #the 25th bam #thoughts on tog

my mum said the only reason evankhell didn't kill hansung is because he's pretty

a cool detail i enjoy in season 1 of the tog anime is how at the end of ep5, when rachel shows up at bam's doorstep and khun opens the door, the soundtrack accompanying the scene is pretty cacophonic. her having snake-eyes in the anime is already an indicator of being no-good (though, ironically khun has snake-like pupils in the manwha), this choice of track adds more of an uneasy feeling to her presence.

and aside from her being antagonistic and becoming a problem for bam, you can easily also see how a harsh, jarring sound fits her status as a turbo-irregular in the tower. not an NPC, not a chosen one, but something heaps more upsetting (to the tower) (and perhaps the viewer ig not me tho i support womens wrongs).

#tower of god #thoughts on tog #i REALLY love rachel #her attitude of saying 'fuck your stupid fate' is such a nice contrast when looking at what bam goes through because of The Hand of Fate #are there even tog fans left on tumblr. seems like everyone escaped which is unfortunate since tumblr is still more ideal than other sites #for any sort of fan stuff
