hxh RESUME
back at it again w/the hxh, heres my recap of the last few eps 
ok so i totally forgot to recap that one ep at the end of the hunter exam arc lets see what i remember from like 3 wks ago lollll
i thiiiiink i left off in the middle of ep 21 lol. i really dont remember much tbh so im gonna skim the ep to refresh
exposition time! its so wild that if you lose ur hunter card That It like u cant get another or retake the exam hgabjdfuhasjf Ls 
also the fact that you can sell it is rlly interesting 
leorio & kurapika backing up gon as he confronts illumi again :’) good lil family 
illumi u fool. gon is a shounen protag. he can do anything he sets his mind to
the fact that gon thanks illumi for telling him where killua is....hes literally THAT polite like...what a perfect boy 
hisoka just fuckgin stepping out of the shadows....ok bitch 
the fact that gon fucked up illumis arm that bad with one hand....boi is STRONK 
AUGH AUGH AUGHHHH HISOKA IS SO CREEPY AUGHHH I HATE THIS BIIIITCH 
ok but like is illumi implying that hisoka is a fr p*do bc uhhhhh thats so nasty oh lord. pls stay away from gon, and killua, and like everyone as a matter of fact 
EWWWWWWWWWW I HATE HISOKA HES SO NASTY. PLS STOP MAKING P*RNO FACES IN RELATION TO 12 YR OLD BOYS. 
no but rlly what IS hisoka gonna do now. im assuming he’ll show up p soon (tho probs not in the zoldyc arc like i thought bc its shorter than i thought) 
ok the fact that they have the internet is hilariously wild to me for some reason....it just seems like this would be one of those fantasy shounen worlds with very little tech (a la one piece) but lol nope we can just google shit hvbhjdhjdfks
gon: it was fun when you beat me up for 3 hours and broke my arm! seeya dude!
i love gon he is so chill and doesnt seem to hold grudges except when it really matters (like hisoka and illumi) 
hanzo has.....ninja business cards....thats amazing hvbhsdjkujfnd
dont worry pokkle, leorio was basically carried thru the hunter exam by various people and also won by default. he still deserves his license tho
an exotic game hunter sounds pretty cool! i wonder if we’ll see pokkle again. kinda doubt it? that sounds pretty firmly non-combat based, and therefore probably pretty far from any plot lol
so gons dad is a bigshot huh.....whatever hed be a bigger deal if he didnt abandon his son tbh 
gon swinging his feet on the bench....sooo cute 
so ging could restore a bunch of ruins but he couldnt raise his son...ok
im just gonna be bitter at this guy for abandoning the most perfect boy vhbhjfbsjhdhbfsk sorry dude but being a good hunter doesnt make up for being a shit father 
gon is so precious ;_; 
WHAT WAS SATOTZ GONNA SAY TO GON???
why does it look like theyre googling things on MS paint 
ah yes, padokea, on the continent of Africa But Sideways 
idk if i talked abt it before but the world map is WILD lmao i love how its all the continents/landmasses scrambled around.....im super curious abt that weird island in the top center of the map, thats the only thing that immediately sticks out as not having a real life equivalent 
the music in this show is so charming :’) i love the main theme sm 
gon is sooo precious i literally cant get over it. and his hurry to rescue killua is so sweet....and i love how naturally charming/charismatic gon is....pretty much everyone he meets likes him, especially leorio and kurapika, who basically adopted him after knowing him for like a day, and continue to be completely taken by him
ok wtf is satotz & co talking abt......do they know something abt ging that they arent allowed to tell gon???? shouldnt gon have access to the same info now that hes a hunter? i need ANSWERS
i bet this whole thing abt the hunter exam not rlly being over is a metaphor abt the hunter exam NEVER truly ending bc youre always being tested, or st
ok the ED continues to be So Much like especially the last shot where the 4 main characters look like theyre posing for a JC Penny catalog while the singer goes FULL metal-screamo
ok ruth and i just rewatched the next two eps woohoo
i love that there are tourist busses that take people to the front gates so they can like pose for pics and stuff vhbhjafdsfkj and its like ‘ah yes here are where the local assassins live!’ thats so funny yet it makes so much sense
i love that leorio passed tf out during the bus ride. big big mood 
gon is so cute...hes like ok yes i understand that we’re not supposed to go in but i think they can make an exception for me bc im very polite. 
those 2 dudes r so ugly and so dead god bless
that bigass buster sword....sir please 
ruth and i rlly thot that the old guard guy was gonna turn out to be grandpa zoldyk or st lol
the fact that the dog managed to eat All their flesh but left some clothes....skill 
also the dog is named mike but it sounds like the guy is calling him miku hvbjdfssk
this cant be the first time some morons have been killed here likeeee 
i cant believe nobody has visited the zoldyk estate in 20 years damn they all rlly b havin no friends. depressing 
the whole gates thing is wild. also that part where gon gets the math wrong on the weight.....BIG mood kiddo 
ok the part where gons on the phone w/the butler is soooo good oh man. i love how gon just calmly dials the phone again after hes hung up on the first time and then YELLS....and leorio and kurapikas faces r so good 
also the butler guy unfortunately has a point, it isnt foolproof that gon is here Legit....but he IS let him see his tiny bf :( 
as ruth pointed out, the butler guy is reminiscent of kuro from one piece. same vibes 
maybe if leorio was jacked like he is in the manga/1999 anime he couldve opened the gate that first time around....Ls 
god i love this shows approach to Everything so far,....as ruth put it, half the time its like ‘oh wow they should do [x]/i wish theyd do [x] but ofc they wont cause its a shounen’ but then they DO do [x] and its like damn thats dope 
anyways i love how gon is increasingly approaching situations with his Plucky Shounen Protag Attitude in full swing, and he pretty much gets shot down every time. BUT his general determination to see killua bc killuas his FRIEND and hes gonna RESCUE HIM is still a good and pure motivating force 
like here, when hes climbing over the wall and hes like whatever i dont wanna have to deal w/being tested thats bullshit, i wanna see killua, my intentions are pure, im gonna try my luck with the dog....i was like ok yeah he’ll get over and like tame or defeat the dog and the guard will be suitably impressed bc nobodys ever done That before, and then gon will continue on to get killua 
but NOPE instead the guard calls him down and explains that gon Will Die if he tries that, and then the guard will die too for letting that happen. and gon is like oh shit my actions have consequences for people other than me, wow. 
and THEN the guard takes them in to meet the dog. and hot DAMN that is a scary creature. not even really a dog tbh. they did an excellent job making the dog Legit Scary and not just like, big and flashy looking....those eyes are so soulless, and the proportions are freaky 
and the guard says exactly what i was thinking - that gon would use his Country Boy Woodland Creature Skills to workaround the dog....but then the subversion - this creature is NOTHING like the woodland critters gon is probably used to dealing with. theres no way gon stood a chance here. the guard just saved him from a really unfortunate death 
i love all the Super Heavy Stuff in the servant house that seems so inconvenient vbhjdkfasjfld. also forgot to mention earlier but the guard guy being Absolutely Ripped was wild and kinda funny 
training montage! gon continues to be so cute. and i love so much how leorio and kurapika are like no, you rest, we’ll take care of this. good parents!!!!
and then!!!! they sync up and use the power of gay love to almost open the gate. but then gon uses the power of Improbable Shounen Protag Healing Speed to toss that arm sling off and help out
i feel like leorio was side-eyeing gon like w8 a sec u broke that arm like a few days ago that aint right.....
oh man i almost forgot abt that scene with the zoldyks torturing killua :( :( this poor kid he doesnt deserve that 
also mom zoldyck seems truly awful but i must say her aesthetic does fuck. the victorian-lookin outfit paired with the futuristic cyclops visor thing....excellent. also im betting this face bandages are from killua cutting her face 
this family is so fucked up hvbsjdhjfbakdfn
killua telling his mom that gon is definitely gonna make it there :’) hes got such unshakable faith in his bf thats so good.....
back w/the gang, and immediately they run into more trouble in the form of the young girl butler, whose name i dont know, but i love her....her design is SO good oh man. a non-caricature black person? who also isnt sexualized? in MY anime??????
 i love how gons approach to conflict is currently ‘let more powerful person beat me up for hours straight in hopes that they get tired or something idk bro’ like....i love him lol, is it in an effort to show how determined he is? he doesnt even try to dodge her blows or get around her....id be tryin to hop that fence lol 
oh shit the tiny zoldyk kid from earlier is spying on them....she was w/the mom so im sure thats not good
when he punches the rock part and it breaks....strong boiiii 
oh man that little flashback from when killua first came back and told her that he made a friend ;_; bruh 
i love butler girl :( she wants to let gon but knows it isnt allowed....and as soon as she starts to waver BAM here comes mom zoldyck JFC that was so sudden and jarring....im assuming butler girl isnt dead cause that would be lame and anticlimactic 
also IS THAT NEN??? NEN>>>??? NEN??? HM? NEN????????? 
im so annoying abt nen i need to make one of those ‘is this a pigeon?’ memes w/’is this nen?’ bc thats me anytime anything remotely weird happens lmao
i do think its rlly nen this time tho
anyways shit is wild, cant wait to meet the full zoldyck family 
PREDICTION CORNER: 
as i said above i doubt hisoka will show up now bc this arc is a lot shorter than i anticipated. also im doubting that illumis even gonna show up honestly 
i think we’re gonna have this OP for a while, as the part just at the end shows gon and hisoka fighting in what looks to be an arena, and ik the next arc is the heavens arena arc, which im assuming is the tournament arc....
also i have no idea what that weird building in the OP is but my guess is that its the building w/the heavens arena in it bc its tall and,,,,heaven 
i predict there wont be much fighting in this little arc bc how tf else is it so short. at this point i rlly think gon is just gonna grab killua and go lmao. im super curious abt how thats gonna go down, considering that killua is currently strung up just bc he wont apologize...so i cant imagine his family would just let him leave w/gon. i wonder if killua will fight them, or if gons determination will impress them and then theyll let killua go (doubt it)
thats basically it....we’ll see abt the next few eps holla

i’d title this: max gets fucking DECKED (also tagging @baura-bear bc she gets very enthusiastic about my writing)
cw: mild injuries/blood, hate crime??, mention of the use of a homophobic slur.
Fenn was exhausted. They had come down with the flu that past Friday and spent the whole weekend recovering. Although they were probably well enough to go to school, they stayed home just to be safe. With both their brother and their parents at work until at least 5, they got bored very quickly. They had deduced to drawing the view of the woods they saw from their back porch in their sketchbook. Suddenly, their phone buzzed, and Max’s contact photo appeared on the screen.
“Hey, what’s up?” They picked up their phone, glad to talk to their best friend.
When he didn’t respond immediately, they started to get worried. Instead of hearing his voice, they heard heavy breathing and… was that crying?
“God, I hate to be a bother, but-
“Woah, dude,” Fenn could tell that Max was very distraught. “Are you okay?
Max sighed heavily. “I’m managing. But, like, I’m already halfway to your house, so I just wanted to let you know that I’m coming over.”
“Dude,” Now they were really starting to worry. “What happened? Are you okay?”
“I-I’ll explain later,” Max said. “It’s kind of getting hard to breathe.”
“Dude. You’re scaring me.” They had stood up and entered the house now, looking out the window for any sign of Max
“Just-” He paused to inhale deeply. “Trust me. Please.”
He hung up before Fenn could respond. In a panic, they stepped onto the front porch of their house, sat down in a chair, and waited. It wasn’t a warm day, and they were, unfortunately, wearing pajama shorts and a light sweatshirt. They anxiously brought their knees up to their chest for warmth and a bit of emotional comfort.
Only a few minutes later, they saw someone walking up the spiral driveway. They immediately stood up and ran to Max, who seemed in bad shape.
“Max!” They yelled. “What the hell happened?!”
Much to their surprise, Max was pretty beat up. They brushed their pointer finger across his split lip where blood had already started to dry. Their mind went on autopilot as they felt around his face for any signs of bruising. Years of walking and running in the woods taught them how to find and treat injuries efficiently, and it was thankfully coming in handy.
Max stumbled over his words. “A couple of guys followed me after school, and…” He gestured to his face, and Fenn noticed that the palms of his hands were scraped. “... I don’t know why, actually, everything is a bit fuzzy.”
Fenn took Max’s hand and looked him in the eye. “Come inside, dude. To the bathroom.”
(idk how to put a horizontal line in a text post but there’s a time skip here.)
After a long while, Max sat on the edge of Fenn’s bathtub, knees and hands bandaged. He was holding a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped haphazardly in a towel up to his left eye. Fenn closed the first aid kit they had been working with and put it in a cabinet under the sink.
“Alright,” they said. “Does anything else hurt?”
Max sighed and lowered his voice. “My stomach…” He wrapped his free arm around his midsection.
“Oh, shit, did someone punch you in the stomach?”
Max nodded. “I think so.”
“God, I fucking hate whoever did this to you.” They stood up. “I’ll get you a hot water bottle and then you can lie down on my bed, how’s that?”
Max hung his head. “Sure…”
“Oh, Max…” Fenn knelt down in front of her best friend. “What’s wrong?”
Fenn had known Max for as long as they could remember. The most vivid memories they had of them together was him talking Fenn through coming out. It had been a rough period in both of their lives, but Max was extremely caring and selfless. They held the feeling of the hug that he gave them after they came out to their girlfriend as nonbinary very close to their heart. His smile never failed to put them in a better mood, but seeing the emotion drained from him crushed them.
Max groaned and rested his head on Fenn’s hand.
“Do you want me to call your mom?”
There was suddenly wild panic in Max’s eyes. “No, she can’t know.”
“What? Why?”
There was quite a long pause and a few deep breaths from Max. “They… one of them called me a faggot, and then they just threw me on the ground. I don’t know how they found out, but…” His voice trailed off.
“Oh my god, Max,” Fenn pulled him into a tight hug. He surprisingly squeezed back. “Whoever the hell did this, I’ll fucking kill them.”
“I think they were friends with Adam…”
“Damn.” Was all Fenn could muster. They had been there through the highs and lows of Max’s crush on Adam, a popular boy in their year. This was probably a devastating blow to Max.
“Don’t actually kill them, please…”
Fenn laughed. “Well, if you say so.”
Max laughed as well, and Fenn’s heart soared.
“There’s the Max I know and love.”
Max smiled gladly. “Thanks for… all of this. I’m sure you understand why I don’t want to tell my mom now.”
Fenn sighed. Max was very much in the closet, but Fenn had suggested multiple times that he start his coming out journey with his mom. His mom loved him more than anything in the world, but he was still anxious about it. Fenn had let it rest a while ago, understanding that they couldn’t control how Max felt about his sexuality.
“Yeah, I understand.” They finally let go of the hug. “You should probably let her know you’re here, though.”
“Shit.” Max pulled out his phone. “What should I say?”
“Just say that you’re catching me up on missing schoolwork.” Fenn made a mental note to actually do that later.
“Cool.” Sam put his phone down and stood up slowly. “Ugh. Can you get that hot water bottle now?”
“Shit, sorry.” They quickly left the room and put a pot of water on the stove. Once Max had exited the bathroom, they said, “Lie down on my bed, get some rest.”
Max nodded and went to Fenn’s bedroom.
Fifteen minutes later, they found Max sleeping on top of their blankets. They sighed, put the hot water bottle on their desk, and sat down next to him. They then put on a podcast and texted their girlfriend a quick “I love you”, dreading the amount of schoolwork they had to catch up on.
