What She Says: Im Fine

what she says: im fine

what she means: Kurapika and Leorio should have had bigger parts in Hunter X Hunter. They are supposed to be two of the main characters, yet they disappear after the Yorknew City arc. They have so much character potential, and it isn't fair to throw them out of the story like that. A lot of time was spent building their characters, especially in the Hunter Exam and Zoldyck arcs, but now they don't even show up anymore. Kurapika and Leorio don't deserve to be treated as minor characters. They're supposed to be Gon's best fr

I really dont want Aizawa getting back his leg-or his eye.

I know, I know, I love him too. But the thing is,

I’ve seen so many people out here talking about how Eri can fix Aizawa’s limbs. I’ve heard people talking about Eri fixing Hawks and Mirko too but I’m not gonna go there now.

You know how Character plots are resolved when the character finds their significant other? Especially in fanfics, man we dig that shit, thats good stuff. I used to wish the same for Aizawa and indulged in every ship of his because I just wanted the guy to find love and be loved and be happy.

But when Aizawa cut off his leg for Eri? I realised he didnt need any significant other. A happy ending for Aizawa doesnt have to be in finding romance.

Sense of duty alone towards someone isn’t enough to take such drastic decisions. Yes you’d need an immense mental fortitude but apart from that there’s also love. And to me, this moment is proof of that. Aizawa has found someone he can love and care for and this has gone beyond his duty of having to look after Eri, it’s beyond the fact that his erasure quirk is crucial in keeping her rewind in check. We’ve always known that Eraserhead would do anything for his kids, and having that shown time and time again, i think it validates that he’s found happiness in Eri, and not just her but in Shinsou and 1A too. He protects them not only because he’s their teacher, but because he loves them and they bring happiness and fulfilment in his life.

Having Eri restore his limb back takes away from this moment, completely defeats the purpose of having created tension there. Eri’s rewind should not be solution to everything unfortunate that has befallen a character. Moreover, this is different from Eri restoring Mirio’s quirk, that was a promise of sorts, this is a sacrifice, a proof of his love.

There’s actually a lot of power in having Teo be this happy-go-lucky fun-loving kid, constantly smiling and laughing. So much of the time, narratives around disability are all about misery and suffering. That’s not to say physical disabilities don’t affect our mental health, but they are not the death sentence media have made them out to be. Our lives do not end because we are disabled: Teo’s wheelchair is simply the mode by which he navigates the world. It allows him to go out and be a kid, a happy kid.
