@your tag: people write Killua so badly I dislike him a little istg
People depend on the anime for the development and support of their friendship/relationship while making Killua incredibly mean and rude af. He’s actually v. polite and respectful, and both Gon and Killua are incredibly close in canon. Sure, they argue and quarrel, but most of that is in Greed Island (and expected when you’re with someone 24/7).
^He’s patient when explaining things to Gon, he’s very understanding and wants to help.
^They both talk and agree before making decisions. (the CA arc does not encompass their entire personalities.)
^Killua genuinely cares about Gon’s feelings, expresses his own thoughts and even has open discussions with Gon about them. (first panel is another reference)
^He says “thanks” a lot. He may be sassy, but he can also be kind and respectful. (he even apologizes a few times to Zushi during their fight.)
They’re just so kickass and awesome together. I wish these elements and Killua’s different characteristics were portrayed more in the fandom/fanfiction.

Exposure therapy can be among the most traumatic ways to work through a phobia or trigger. It can backfire spectacularly. It should only be undertaken with intense motivation, and carefully and slowly.
All that being said, when it works, it can also be one of the fastest ways to break through.
Killua is doing so much here, and under the worst possible pressure.
To those who think Silva isn't manipulating Killua with the blood pact...
.... he actually got secretly mad when Killua brought it up.
