The Three Poisons (Sandu) of Buddhism
aka reasons why Jiang Cheng really should’ve been the demonic cultivator.
In Buddhist teaching, the three poisons (ignorance, attachment, and aversion) are what keeps a soul trapped in the reincarnation cycle and preventing them from reaching nirvana. The first poison Moha (delusion, confusion) is represented by a pig; the second poison Raga (greed, sensual attachment) is represented by a bird, and the third poison Dvesha (aversion) is represented by a snake.
Jiang Cheng’s sword Sandu is named after these three poisons. Its sheath is overwhelmingly decorated with snake (aversion) motifs. This is very in line with his own character arc, one of being consumed by bitterness and hate after the tragedies occurring during his formative years. However you’ll notice that on the tip of the handle, above all the snakes, is one small frog sitting at the highest point. Frogs in Buddhism are a symbol of sacral chakra “the life force” as well as other values such as self-knowledge and sense, and the cleansing and healing of the old ways. I have no idea if this is intentional or not, but damn, a frog sitting on a sword decorated with snakes is almost foreshadowing that Jiang Cheng’s own “poison” - his hate - will be resolved.
In Chinese culture, spirits after death become malicious because they are unable to move on and are trapped in the mortal realm. This is the basis of all the ghosts and malicious spirits in The Untamed. So, who better than Jiang Cheng to represent, conquer and command creatures of resentful energy? As WWX said in early canon, using resentment energy is not giving in to the “evil path”, but to utilize negative energy in productive ways.
Jiang Cheng should’ve been the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, is all I’m saying. This is a hugely missed opportunity

This is without a doubt my favorite shounen motivation I've ever seen. Dude jumps headfirst into the world's most dangerous and convoluted job interview where less than one in a hundred-thousand pass all so he doesn't have to take on any student loans for medical school. And to top it off his plan WORKED he actually DID IT.

One of my favorite things about Hunter X Hunter is that no one is what you expect them to be. You expect Leorio to be an asshole but he’s actually one of the kindest characters on the show and has an amazing life goal. You start off thinking Kurapika is just a gentle mom friend type but he ends up hellbent on revenge and one of the most dangerous people in the entire series. With Killua’s backstory you’d expect him to be a stoic and dark character but he’s actually rather cheerful and a sweet kid aside from his rudeness. And with Gon you’d expect the standard sweet idiot hero but not only is he rather clever and quick-witted, he’s got a dark side and is absolutely terrifying. Please watch this show the characters are incredible.

my favorite thing about hunter x hunter is during the chimera ant arc when gon and killua are at the fever pitch of their childhood-best-friendship-turned-obsessive-preteen-pseudo-romance and there’ll be a super tense and emotionally charged moment or exchange between them or from them to an adult and all the adults present just stand there awkwardly not knowing what the FUCK to do

I have seen less and less posts about Palestine each day, and I want to remind people that there is still very much a genocide going on and Palestine has continued to be attacked.
The number of casualties in Gaza has increased to 8,525 with 21,000+ injured
Hospitals in Gaza will run out of power today
Israel has once again cut Gaza’s communications
Israel has striked another refugee camp, killing 50+ and it was reported that children were carrying other injured children to get to safety

Shonen authors writing a hetero romance: They bicker... But... They KISS?!?!?! Revolutionary.
Shonen authors writing two male "best friends": They are friends, partners, family. They complete each-other. They've been together for so long it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins, and they know each-other so intimately that they can predict every action the other will take. They're opposites and yet they go together like a pair of gloves, they're yin and yang, they fill each-other's weaknesses and boost each-other's strength. They wouldn't be alive without one another, they wouldn't want to be alive without one another. Even when they're on different paths, they trust each-other blindly. Even as enemies they are willing to put their lives in each-other's hands. Their life goals involve one-another, all the roads in their life lead to their partner. A part of one will always be with the other, no matter how far apart the fates carry them.
