i’ve been watching hunter x hunter and although i still have a lot left to watch (i just started the third season) there’s something that’s stuck in the back of my mind that i keep returning to

the relationship illumi has to killua is so intensely maternal

i think what initially drew my attention to this was when illumi revealed himself to killua during the hunters exam. he said something along the lines of “this isn’t how dad and i raised you”, the phrasing of which discounts their mother completely, instead putting illumi in the role of the mother. whether this was the intention or not, this leads me to believe that (at least the way illumi perceives it), kikyo did not raise killua and that illumi believes he filled the role of “mother” in killua’s life more than she did. that of course wasn’t the focus of the scene but the phrasing just seemed so intentional compared to something like “this isn’t how we raised you” or “this isn’t how you were raised” at the very least it shows that illumi feels like raising killua was largely his responsibility.

Reblogging this bc I need folks to talk HxH lore with!

Just finished HxH and I’m so glad to have come across your post! Love the way your post is formatted btw!! Illumi quickly became one of my favorites 😫 This headcanon of him feels like *chef’s kiss*

The dynamic of his relationship w/ Killua is a big part of what drew me to him. How it’s such an intense, smothering maternal approach instead traditional older brother archetype(?). Think the only thing I would suggest is that seeking out Killua/pursuing him isn’t his sole purpose. This man is driven by power, and you’ll see how it unfolds later in the series :) Also interesting how much Killua respects him, if you can call it that? Despite everything that Illumi has done to him (again, you’ll see later in the Chimera Ant arc & Chairman Election Arc), he still sees him as family. And threatens to cut him off / disown him as his older brother if he crosses the line.

Also, be mentally prepared for the Chimera Ant Arc!! I pray your therapy card doesn’t decline 😭😭
