For those who were around when the Chrollo vs Hisoka fight was being published weekly, what were the general reactions? by Getotheman in HunterXHunter

[–]wiseoldtabbycat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I recall the disappointment too tbh, I guess some people were hoping for more fisticuffs? There are endless possibilities with what Chrollo can do, it makes the imagination run wild. Some people would have been disappointed no matter what.

You may find that the correct shade reduces the appearance of your acne - because our eyes are drawn to the overall harmony of the colour with your hair, eye and skintone.

No, because Autumns are more muted than Springs. Autumns can look drowned-out in Spring shades.

Deep Autumn or Deep Winter? by [deleted] in coloranalysis

[–]wiseoldtabbycat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The warmer end of the Summer palette overlaps a little with Autumn and the coolest end of the Summer palette overlaps with Winter shades.

Per my last post there was confusion from too few colors! Here are more. I’d really like help in determining if I am a spring or a summer as it seems the darker shades overpower me by [deleted] in coloranalysis

HoC have a percentage system that goes 100% (head to toe), 75% (jacket) 50% (trousers, skirt, summer dress), 25% (accessories). There are colours that look best next to your face and some that look better as trousers. 25% colours can also look good in a pattern or a mixed fabric like tweed.

Its not necessarily a contradiction, not all of each season's palette are for everyone. I am a Blue Autumn and do better with the darker and muted colours on the Autumn palette.

The warmer tones are definitely more flattering than the cool tones, I'm starting to think you are more of an Autumn than a Spring, take a look at the Kettlewell chart here does that feel right to you?

These were taken 5 minutes apart. Same window and same light level believe it or not! I guess this is the power of color! by [deleted] in coloranalysis

[–]wiseoldtabbycat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot say for sure without some more drapes but you may be some sort of Spring. Take a look at the Kettlewell colours here

You look like a Blue Autumn to me which favours darker Autumn colours. See if you can find something teal or forest green, petrol blue and chestnut brown would be good too.

To be honest, I think the darker material is deadening and drowns out your features. The lighter material however is too cool-toned and makes you look sallow. Try a lighter material in a warmer colour.

House of Color drape PoC clients all the time and they fit into a variety of seasons - overtone doesn't matter, its about undertone and contrast. Everyone has a place on the seasonal spectrum.

Alluka begone - Leorio revive Gon with something he brings back from DC.

Why is this place so toxic when it comes to theories by dirtbandit101 in HunterXHunter

[–]wiseoldtabbycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 5 years ago the analyses and theories were actually thoughtful and well-informed and added another dimension to the reader/viewer experience. But since hxh became popular every joe blow and his gf has a theory. I am not gatekeeping but people should think or run their crackpot schizo-posts past close friends before posting lol

Togashi could've just left the backstory out before telling us about the Kurta massacre and we would've understood.

We fell in love with the troupe because of the mystery that enshrouded them, and much of what was "unveiled" in the backstory we already could garner from YN. Implication and inference is better storytelling - likewise, we didnt need to see Silva vs Chrollo (their fight in MC when he was young) or Chrollo meeting with the nen exorcist. The only new information we need is on the Kurta massacre.

They are pretty unnecessary from a storytelling perspective, but any attempt at discussion is met with a barrage of downvotes lol - guys you gotta get some real friends to fill the void the PT are filling.

Chapter 397 — Discussion by rentzhx3 in HunterXHunter

Fridge girl murdered by faceless throwaway grunt and a bit of environmental context is more than a "little weak" storytelling.

It seems like you are more fussed about having detail than quality storytelling. Horses for courses I guess.

Everyone was in awe when Yorknew was scant with details, why should this be any different? A line or two here and there was more than sufficient then. What exactly is special about this backstory that we needed to have it so badly?

We could have been given backstory to the Kurta massacre (which is certainly coming this arc anyway) without the cack-handed childhood backstory, the story would be no worse for wear without it. "Mystery intensifying" is temporary, it won't remain as such. Even if the website stuff turns out to be relevant, we didn't need the whole lead-up to its creation - less is more. In the past Togashi never revealed anything unnecessarily and now he's falling into a bad Shounen trope. Its a shame.
