Hi! Can I have some hcs about hisoka & romantics? Like do you think he's able to feel love and be romantic? What kind of girl would attract his interest/obsessive attention?
I’m all for psychoanalyzing Hisoka let’s go (this got a bit out of hand sorry)
I think that out of all the characters Hisoka’s the one who as the least care for anything. Even Illumi, who’s portrayed as the most apathetic and cold character on the show is attached to Killua and cares for him. Hisoka doesn’t really care about anything. The only thing that we could say he does care about is fighting and entertainment in that form. So naturally someone who wants to fight is someone with a lot of hate and anger, or at least that’s the case in most characters with that trait (see: Kurapika) But Hisoka doesn’t even have enough attachment to hate anything, so you can’t even use the ‘there’s a fine line between love and hate’ argument with him. So personally, no, I don’t think he could ever keep up a romantic relationship, or love for that matter.
As for someone who would catch his attention (and I say someone because I mean it’s Hisoka his sexuality is p much everyone) they’d definitely have to have a lot of potential. Someone smart and quick to think on their feet, but not someone who’s reached their full power yet. I don’t think he’d find much use for someone much weaker than him either. As for other personality traits, I don’t think he’d pay attention to those as much as long as they’re not too much like him. If there was anyone that resembled his personality- being overly flirtatious, easily bored, wants to fight everyone, etc., because he’ll see them as someone too predictable, he’d probably just be annoyed.
Just in general Hisoka’s a very temporary character. I don’t say that like he’s not a main one, but in the way that everything about him is temporary and that’s the way he likes things. For example, there was that scene where he builds one of his card pyramids just to topple it over himself. He has no respect or need for things that can be so easily knocked down, even if he was the one who made them. And I think he’d be much the same with anything relating to love. Sex and general interest, sure because that doesn’t have to do with feelings, but love itself isn’t something I think Hisoka is capable of feeling.
