Cheetu Hxh - Tumblr Posts
Hxh Random Headcanon Time. Cheetu is extremely cuddly with his s/o, seriously, have you seen videos of cheetahs cuddling? They are so affectionate and it's the cutest thing ever! He will love to cuddle with you, all. The. Time. Even if you're on your phone and he's reading manga, you're either laying on each other or in his arms. Not to mention, cheetahs have a very high body temperature, I may have done the math wrong but it's somewhere in the high 90s farenheit. You'll never be cold again. Plus his chest is super fluffy, so you can just sit in between his legs and lay on his chest. It's so comfy.
Hxh Random Headcanon Time. Ok, I couldn't find Cheetu's canon height anywhere, so me being me, compared images of him with characters we know the height of. And listen I knew he was tall, so I was expecting something like 6'5 or 6'6. No. Not even close. Cheetu is approximately. SEVEN FOOT EIGHT. 7'8. THE FUCK. He could rip you in half. Not walking the next day? Nah, how about not walking again ever. You in a wheelchair now. I also did the math on his dick size, and it wasn't easy! Ight. The average dick, is about 5 to 6 inches, around 6 when erect. The average human face is about 8-9 inches long. If you subtract around two inches from the face that is the average dick. Cheetu's face is about 12 inches long. So if you subtract 2 from 12, you get 10. So according to proportion, his dick is about 10 inches or more. And average girth is about 5 inches, so I would guesstimate that his girth is around 8-9 inches. So just to circle back, he has a 10 inch long 9 inch around dick, Possibly bigger. Bruh. That's nothing to fucking sneeze at! That's 6 inches bigger than a woman's vagina! Jesus!
Hxh Random Headcanon Time. Cheetu smells like frosted flakes. Don't ask why, it just makes sense.
Cheetu Nsfw Alphabet. It is once again. 2AM.
A= aftercare
He doesn't really require much aftercare. Just give him lots of cuddles and pets. Water bottles are much appreciated. Honestly though, just lay in his arms while he purrs and give him head scratches. He'll be yours forever.
Should you need aftercare other than cuddles and water, he's happy to oblige, you'll have to tell him though.
B=body part
He likes his legs. I-. I feel no need to explain this. On you, would be your waist. Doesn't matter your size, curves or lack of, he just really likes your waist. Also doesn't mind if you have nice legs too.
C=cum
Oh boy. What can I say. Uh. THERE'S A LOT OF IT. It's really thick in both texture and consistency, and it's pretty sticky. He prefers to cum in you 98% of the time, we'll get to why later. The other 2% he likes to cum in your mouth.
D=dirty secret
The manga he reads are mostly comedy, but also hentai. He's pretty good at hiding his 18+ books, he just slides another cover over them and causally reads them. He cackles when he's reading his comedy manga but his face is dead serious when he's reading his naughty comics.
E=experience
Part of me thinks he has some experience, but the other half says he's too busy trying to race most people and ants. He did pick up a couple things from manga and animal instincts though.
F=favorite position
There's quite a few; honeymoon, eagle, relaxation, low doggy and downward dog are just a few of them. He loves taking you from behind, it's mostly his animal instinct. He does like mating press though, another one he loves I couldn't find the name for because there are hundreds of sex positions and I couldn't find it, basically he's on his back, probably on the bed and propped up a little on the pillow, and you're laying with your head on his chest and his dick in you. He, loves that one.
(Had to take out the photos even though they weren't explicit, the hell?)
Yes indeed.
G=goofy
He is super goofy unless he's doming you, I mean, he always does, but like full on dominant is when he's more naughty than funny. Loves if you're goofy too, but he wants you to be submissive when he doms you.
H=hair
Ok, judging by the rest of his body, he either has no hair down there, or the same kind of fluff he has on his chest and thighs. Obviously there isn't a lot or you'd see it through his daisy dukes.
I=intimacy
He is VERY rough and dirty in the moment, he can tell you he loves you and all, and you better believe he means it, but he'll be going completely feral on you at the same time.
J=jack off
Yes. He does. Frequently. Especially when bored. This cheetah loves to jack off. He probably wouldn't be embarased if you caught him, he'd just have you help him out.
K=kink
Oh where to begin. I'm just gonna make a list from most to least enjoyed and indulged kinks for him.
-Primal kink
He has a need to chase you and to absolutley ravage you once he finds you. He'll growl and everything. Deffinently a fun one, you won't walk the next day though.
- Acarophillia
Kind of goes hand in hand with the primal kink, but he loves scratches, he'll scratch you and enjoys you scratching him. Especially his back and arms.
-Breeding kink
Mostly comes from his animalistic nature, he wants to breed you, that's why he prefers to cum inside of you rather than on your back. He'll pair this with some dirty talk and tell you how he'll breed you and how he wants you to carry his cubs.
- No condom
Again goes hand in hand with the breeding kink. He doesnt like wearing a condom, he much prefers to go without, he'll probably wear it if you want him to, but he'd rather not.
- Cum inflation
He just wants to fill you with cum, so much that your belly has to expand to make room for it all.
- Creampie
Pretty obvious.
- BDSM
Not all of bdsm, but this would be a pretty long list if I put everything. He's the dominant one though.
- Dirty talking
He won't always go all out with dirty talk, he can be very loving and cuddly, telling you he loves you and how good you make him feel, so dirty talk, while common with him, is last for this reason. He only uses it like 60% of the time.
L= location
Ideally he would have you in his nen savannah at all times, especially for dirty time, but because of how it works, that can't happen sadly. He likes to fuck you in your bedroom, or some random empty room in the palace. The thrill of being caught is just too exciting to pass up. Honestly he'll fuck you just about anywhere.
M= motivation
If you're looking particularly sexy, or your body language. You could be walking around doing the dishes and chatting with him, but the way your body is moving and how you let yourself be vulnerable to him, almost asking him to fuck you. Even though you don't even realise when you do this. It's because he's a cheetah, different body language means different things. Careful exposing your neck to him, he will bite and mark you right in the middle of the kitchen.
N=no
He isn't into anything considered truly weird. He doesn't like degradation either. Sure he'll call you his cum dump, but he says it in a way that turns you on and makes wanna be his cum dump, he wouldn't ever just insult you and attack your insecurities. He just couldn't say those things to you if he wanted.
O= oral
He loves recieving oral! Feels good, so why wouldn't he like it? As for giving, he wouldn't mind in the least, especially on your period, he actually prefers giving you oral on your period.
Aight listen, he either has squishy soft tongue like we see in the anime, or a regular cheetah tongue with tiny caratin teeth pointing backwards on it, causing you to bleed when he licks you. Also he will lick you. It's a way for cheetahs to show affection.
P= pace
Jack hammer. Hope you wanted everyone on the block to hear him break your bed, cause that's what's happening. As with his normal self, he likes things fast, hope you can keep up with him taking you straight to pound town.
Q= Quickie
Y'all usuall have quickies if he needs to go somewhere or do something, it's more so for him to let out any sexual frustration and to quickly dump a load in you.
R= risk
He's totally fine risking you getting pregnant. In fact he wants you pregnant, as for kinks and stuff he's willing to take some risks, some he just won't though.
S= stamina
He has stamina to spare, if he used all of his stamina on you, you wouldn't be conscious for most of it. So he usually just goes however many rounds you wanna go, or more.
T= toys
He doesn't own any, but he's fine with using some one you. Or if you have some for when he's gone.
U= unfair
If you're being a bratty sub, he'll tease you a bunch, and just get himself off, then he'll have you be his cockwarmer the rest of the day or night and won't let you get off for yourself unless you convince him or apologize.
V= volume
Loud motherfucker. Honestly some of the best noises ever, lots of growling, groaning, deep purring, and some heavy panting.
W= wild card
He's gonna nuzzle you and your neck a lot during and after sex. He's also very strong, you don't have to worry about doing any bouncing or anything since he just holds you in place.
X= x-ray
I already made a post about this, he's 10ish inches long and like 8 or 9 around, maybe more. Basically, big dick. He tilts a little to the right. The shaft is the same shade as the rest of his skin and the tip is a bit darker.
Y= yearning
Really high yearning, his sex drive is through the damn roof, he is dtf anytime.
Z= ZzZ
He falls asleep pretty quickly during aftercare, he'll chug some water, cuddle you, run his hands through your hair or wrap them around your waist, all while purring fairly loudly, it lulls you to sleep, he usually goes to sleep right after you.
It's now 4AM and I do not have the energy to make edits. Apologies for any grammatical errors y'all.
Hxh Random Headcanon Time
Cheetu would leave so many love bites on you omg. Mostly on your neck and shoulders. At first his bites may be a tad too hard and you might bleed. But once he's found a good middle ground, he'll be marking you up all the time. They're like little love bites. Basically he nips at your skin a lot. If he makes you bleed he'll leer at you and lick it off, maybe suck on the wound a little. He loves the taste of your blood.
Hxh Random Headcanon Time!
I don't know why, but I feel like Cheetu would casually grab, jiggle and play with your breasts while y'all are cuddling. Also when you're falling asleep you'll just randomly feel him groping your boobs. It isn't always sexual, he just likes playing with your boobs.
Hxh Random Headcanon Time
Cheetu would want an s/o that can feed his ego. Be amazed by his speed, his strength, compliment how hot he looks, tell him his chest is fluffy, be in awe of how tall he is compared to you, be in wonder of how quickly he created a new ability out of nowhere. His ego needs feeding.
He loves to impress you, with strength, new abilities, and speed. He will randomly pick you up and run you to someplace he wants to show you. He lives for your compliments and praise.
If he loses a fight and comes back to you feeling defeated, once he tells you about it, if you tell him it wasn't his fault and make it seem like it wasn't on his laziness that he lost, he will jump on you, trap you in a big hug and nuzzle your neck. (Run on sentence much?)
He'll probably lick you too. That's how cheetahs show affection.
Cheetu x artist reader plz
Didn’t know if you wanted fic or headcanons so I did both! Also, you have impeccable taste! I decided to make the reader a character designer in the fic, just for simplicity’s sake.
-He would love your art so much oh my god.
-” Whoa! That’s really cool! ”
-He loves to watch you do your thing. He’ll lean over your shoulders for a while if you let him, but if you shoo him off telling him you can’t concentrate, he’ll complain but quietly watch you from a few feet away.
-Given his limited attention span, he’ll probably only watch for so long. That is unless he’s really entranced by your art, in which case he’ll watch you for as long as it takes to finish the piece.
-He’s a self-centered guy, he’ll let you do your art and all, but you have to draw/paint/sculpt/make art of him too.
-He won’t sit still as a model for too long though. He wants to watch you. It’s better to do things like figure drawings with him. Giving you a few minutes to do a vague sketch before he changes poses.
-If he somehow doesn’t know about your art and you then gift him something of himself, he will love it, he’s gonna be high on energy, bouncing around, and will give you so much affection, nuzzles, hugs, kisses, and licks.
-When he sees you making your art, he would likely be like “That looks fun!” and move you out of the way so he can try.
-He’ll get very frustrated very easily if you try to teach him. Every time he makes a mistake you see his expression get angrier and angrier.
-Give him a kiss and tell him he’s doing better than you when you started making art. Tell him he’s advanced a whole lot and how quick of a learner he is.
-He’ll feel a whole lot better. If he’s feeling particularly frustrated he might have you sit in his lap, one of his arms around your waist, the other drawing/painting/sculpting/doing art.
-He’ll make an annoyed sound when he screws up and just buries his face in your neck or start playing with your hair (if you don’t have hair to play with then he’ll rub your hand)
-If you completely screw up a piece or lose hours of digital artwork, he’ll be sympathetic and cuddle you lots.
-” You can fix it tomorrow. “ No more art until you’ve cuddled the evening away.
NSFW (scroll past for fic if you don’t wanna read any nsfw) NSFW
-If you make art of any nude characters or people, he smirks, almost poking fun at you, and stares at it for a while. He likes to look at nude figures.
-God forbid you draw pinups or hentai, he will be all over that shit.😂
-Should you chose to do art of him naked without telling him, and he just so happens to find it, you’re fucked. Literally.
-If you shyly come up to him and ask if you can draw/paint him nude, he’ll be taken aback a little, but would probably oblige.
-If you draw the two of you in a sex scene, he’ll probably want to try whatever it is out with you.
FIC (The nsfw portion is over) FIC
You would usually never bring your sketchbook anywhere with you, but today was different. Your usual bus route was canceled, meaning you had to take the long route. How long? About 2 hours. You couldn’t just take a nap for those 2 hours, you ran the risk of waking up every few minutes, having a creep sitting next to you, or sleeping through your stop.
Yeah, no. You weren’t about to have that happening. So to keep yourself entertained, you brought your trusty sketchbook. You were grateful you didn’t have to hurry anywhere like work. In fact, art was your work! You kept your own hours, creating your character designs from home and sending them in to be approved.
You were just heading to the supermarket to restock on food. You’re instant noodles, and caffeine drinks had run out, and being an artist, those simple things were necessities.
Taking your seat, you set down your bag in front of you and got to thinking. What to draw today. You supposed you could get ahead on some concept art, and poses, but you weren’t in the mood for work today. Maybe a scenery, but that wasn’t exactly blowing your skirt up either. As you pondered, you found your mind drifting off. You thought of Cheetu, he’d be coming over the next day, which was partially the reason for stocking up on snacks.
That’s it! You’d draw Cheetu! You grabbed your pencil and book and got to sketching. First the line of action, then the basic pose, and later details. You had to look at some pictures of him for reference, but it turned out pretty nice! Checking the time, you still had an hour to kill, so for the rest of the bus ride, you drew portraits, poses, and goofy doodles of your cheetah boyfriend.
Seeing your stop approaching in the distance, you quickly closed drawing filled book, placing it back in your bag. You stepped off the bus, making your way across the street and into the grocery store.
*Time skip cause it’s 4:52 AM*
You were waiting for Cheetu to show up, sitting in your room, drawing once more. Again your mind wandered and you decided to draw him again while waiting. You lost your train of thought in the drawing, only to be abruptly interrupted by the loud knocking on your front door. Startled and excited to see him, you tossed your sketchbook to the side and ran to get the door.
“Hey, Kitten!” He smiled as you shut the door behind him.
“Hi, Babe!” You hugged each other and went to hang out in the kitchen, talking and eating snacks. You sat cross-legged on the counter, him sitting with you. You both caught up on the past few day’s events. You recalled a few videos you wanted to show him, so the two of you went to your room, he sat on your bed while you opened your laptop. Little did you know, you had left a certain book open on your bed.
Whilst you absentmindedly scrolled through your list of saved videos, looking for the best compilation to watch together, he curiously picked the book up and started flipping through it. His eyes scanning over the multiple pages covered in drawings, all of himself. Looking up smugly and holding the opened book out to you he smirked.
“What’s this Baby?” You turned around, your expression changing from confused to mortified in record time as you see the numerous sketches of him.
“Gah! Give me that!” You attempted to snatch the book from him but he was faster, holding it high above your head as he smirked and continued to look at the drawings. All while you desperately continued to try and take it from his grasp. “They’re- they’re just some drawings! Now give that back!”
“So you admit you’ve been drawing me! Ha! I knew it! You’re obsessed with me!” He spoke so cockily. He really did take any chance he could get to boost his ego or flatter himself. You tried to deny it but all that came out were embarrassed stutters. He laughed before handing you the book and shrugging.
“I can’t blame you. I guess I’m just that awesome.” You snatched the book from his hands and playfully gave him a punch to the shoulder. He snickered at how sheepish you looked right now. “Don’t worry, it looks great! Almost as good as the real deal!” He bent down to your level now, looking you in the eye as you blushed madly. “I think you got the claws a bit short though.” He said as he tapped your book with a clawed finger.
That was it. You practically died from the sheer amount of embarrassment. He laughed out loud now. You just wanted to curll up under a rock and disappear at this point.
“I wanna try now!” He nabbed your sketchbook once more along with the pencil in the binding. At this point you didn’t even try to stop him. He flopped down on your bed and began flipping through the pages, looking for a blank one. You sighed and sat down beside him, sitting on your pillow and watching him attempt to draw.
To say the best, he had clearly never attempted to draw before.His tongue poked out to the side as he concentrated, trying to replicate the art you seemingly created with such ease. With each time he had to erase a mistake or start again, he grew more frustrated. Easily becoming angry and scribbling harshly. Thank god you hadn’t been drawing on any of the pages behind that one, whatever it was would be ruined for sure.
Now it was your turn to laugh. I quiet giggle escaped you even as you tried to suppress it. Cheetu groaned angrily, tossing the sketchbook to the side. He grabbed you by the waist, pulling you into his lap and laying down. He squeezed you, nuzzling his head into the crook of your neck. You chuckled to yourself and held the hands wrapped around your waist.
Teaching him to draw would be next on your list of things to do together.
I think at this point we've all clued in to the fact that I love HxH, namely a certain cheetah ant...
So. Y'all know about shifting right? The whole reality shifting thing? If not go look it up. In short it goes by the theory that there are infinite realities. Shifting is moving your conciousness to your desired reality.
If you believe shifting is real, good for you. If you don't good for you. Not looking for a debate, I'm just talking about something that interests me. Chill vibes please.
Anyways, I decided fangirling for this cheetah man and forever searching for a nonexistent body pillow wasn't enough. I decided I'm gonna shift to HxH! Yay
I haven't seen many people talking about shifting to HxH, or any about the chimera ants. If anyone has some experiences about shifting there that they'd want to share, go ahead and leave an ask. No detail is too much!
Anyways, I've been working on shifting there for a few months now and have been steadily and painfully slowly getting there. I have gotten a plethora of physical symptoms (my bed rocking back and forth, and my legs feeling like they are floating off the bed) visual symptoms, (seeing Cheetu a couple of times through eye blurs and in my head) and deadass had a conversation with Cheetu using a sunrise guided meditation thing.
He was literally so sweet to me I almost cried, sadly didn't get to shift that day because I had to pee. Fucking why.
Another thing, I scripted that when I shifted it would smell like vanilla, strawberries or hotel room, and I smelled vanilla. I opened my eyes but was still in my room.
The reason for that was that I couldn't decide wich reality I wanted to go to, since I plan on shifting to multiple realities. That and I was way too unfocused.
I'm rewriting my script completely, the first one I wrote needed loads of edits after being printed, and wasn't well formatted so I just restarted. Gotta say, I love the feeling of a clean slate.
If you guys want to script to HxH aswell, feel free to ask me if you need help on your script, if you feel like you forgot something or if you wanna figure out a nen ability. Whatever it is (within reason) I'm happy to help!
Tip tho, if you script that you are dating a character with a large dick (or strap) I recommend scripting that your vagina or anus stretch with ease, no discomfort and no damage. Imma be dating a cheetah with a 10 inch dong so I needed to script this.😂
Gonna be posting more about shifting stuff, if you have questions don't be afraid to ask, and remember, I haven't shifted yet, I don't know and can't confirm everything.
Happy shifting🎊
Also I didn't proofread this because I'm too lazy and wanna post more right now lol.
What would have made Cheetu's ability work?
Alright let's be real. His ability was a flop, that isn't entirely his fault though. No amount of quick learning can make up for actual combat experience. He was used to killing average humans who couldn't or wouldn't fight back and only got experience with nen users 3 times.
When he fought with Knuckle and Morel, when he "fought" one on one with Morel, and we all know what happened with him and the Zoldycks.
So really he has essentially no experience really fighting a nen user unless you count him getting his ass handed to him by Knuckle and Morel.
The reason he's arrogant is because he's only ever had easy prey. When something is as easy as snapping your fingers, it isn't uncommon to get a bit cocky.
But you can't stay on level one fights once you're at level 20. You have to have fights on that level or a little above. Unfortunately he ran right past that and rather than fighting a level 25, he tried to fight a level 40 and level 65 at the same time.
If he'd taken his time and genuinely worked on his fighting skills and worked on unlocking his nen himself, he'd have had a better time. And it would've felt more rewarding.
If he had been working on his nen from the time word of what it was got out, and seeing as he learns fast and has energy to spare, he would have learned the basics with ease. If he'd really worked at it, he could have used en and would've been able to detect Silva before disaster.
Also if he'd created his own ability it might have been something he'd taken better care of learning it and tying up lose ends rather than a halfassed crossbow.
Because his ability was handed to him, he had a harder time than if he'd taken the time to make one himself. Essentially they gave a noob the coolest sword in the game and expected him to know how to wield it, all without armor.
And though he doesn't mention it, we know he's at least tried out it before. Leol mentions when he and Morel disappear that he activates his ability, that he doesn't know what it does, but that they won't be back for 8 hours.
This implies he's seen Cheetu disappear for 8 hours. Cheetu also says to Morel that he'll be stuck there if he doesn't catch him. We don't see anyone who might have had his ability tested on him though. But we know they didn't catch him because he still had his ability.
That means he probably ate their brain and got rid of their body somewhere else. We've seen in a previous episode that he only eats the brain. Neferpitou mentions it to be the tastiest part of the body, and Cheetahs are known to go for the best part of the meat.
Morel said during the fight that it was Cheetu's fault for making time limit so long even though he doesn't have the attention span for it.
I also think the time limit was a bit long, it should have been about 15 minutes at max. That and there should've been a consequence for not chasing him. For instance if you don't chase him for a whole minute, the game pauses and he is allowed to injure one of your limbs as much he'd like, including ripping it off, without the consequence of being tagged.
Once done, the game continues.
His end goal isn't to neutralize or protect himself from harm, it's to eat his prey and play with it for a little before he kills it. Just like a Cheetah.
Another thing is that the Savannah should be able to shut off the preys nen, but continue allowing Cheetu to use his nen. This way all he has to worry about is their physical strength. And it makes it more fun for him.
All of this would make his ability pretty advanced, so there should be some heavier conditions for activating it, but he shouldn't have the condition that he can't use it if he's caught.
He should have to know more info about the victim, and they have to be a nen user of a certain level. Making it so that someone he couldn't defeat with sheer strength, could be defeated in his Savannah. Someone too weak in nen, he should just kill rather than waste such an ability on, giving him more fighting experience.
And if he loses, he has to wait a certain amount of time to unlock it again. And he has to stay in the Savannah for an hour while the person is set free. This keeps him safe, but is a serious time waster when in a situation where time is of the essence. It also tests his patience. Sort of like a time out.
Put together, picture you're suddenly transported to the Savannah after fighting with him for a while. You have 15 minutes to catch him, and if you stop running, you could get your arm ripped off, and if you lose you'll be killed and eaten. Should you win by some miracle,(he's probably the fastest humanish guy in the world, over 200 miles an hour is pretty fukin fast boi) it'll likely be with some serious injuries, the least being a limb bleeding out, causing blood loss.
And depending how far from a hospital you are, you could bleed to death or pass out before help comes. If far enough away he could eat you after his hour is up since you're bleeding to death or unconscious.
Not like you could hide, the blood trail would rat you out and if that didn't he would have trained with nen for a while and be able to use en to locate you.
He should still use his crossbow though. It's good for general combat, but the bolts should be faster, and he should use in to conceal them, that way he can use them from a distance and be undetected.
The bolts should also reload as soon as one has been shot. Then he can use faster attacks rather than using one bolt and having to get up close with the claws.
With the improved abilities and actual practice with combat and nen, he'd be quite the force to be reckoned with.
Could Cheetu still be alive?
Alright, I saw a post somewhere theorizing on how Cheetu could still be alive. I don’t know who made the post and I can’t find it, but it really got me thinking.
So, how could he be alive? We saw his body, the blood, and we saw him stop moving. He got a giant aura punch to the head, by Silva non the less, so chances of him surviving such a serious head injury are slim, and chances of him ever being himself again, even lower.
Pretty sure you’d be more likely to get hit by a runaway train as it’s struck by lightning and be able to get up and walk away.
BUT! And I don’t know if the other person mentioned this because it’s been a while since I read it. What if he tricked Silva and Zeno? What if he wasn’t the one punched.
Nen is as original as art, and the series emphasizes this with unique nen abilities for each character. No two are the same, even within the same nen category. But just like in art, there are nen thieves (Chrollo), people who take inspiriation from other abilities (Cheetu. Morel said his ability was influenced by knuckles hakoware) and those who happen to come up with something similar to another person. (Gon’s ability is basically a strong punch, just like Uvogin, yet they never met.)
Now, how could Cheetu have escaped when we saw him dead? How could he be alive aside from a 1 in 6 billion chance? How could he be somewhere else while we’re looking at him?
A double.
I think he may have come up with something similar to Kastro’s double.
Alright, Kastro’s double scenario flopped because he isn’t a conjurer or manipulator, he’s an enhancer. But he was still able to create a very convincing looking double of himself.
Now, Cheetu’s new ability was once again bestowed to him by Pouf, who is capable of creating some seriously detailed and powerful abilities. Despite the Savannah thing flopping, that’s still a pretty big ability that takes a lot of nen to use. Cheetu used it with ease, and even made a new ability out of thin air by himself. And a key point to a double working, is being a conjurer.
Cheetu is a conjurer, so it wouldn’t have been hard for him to create a double.
Conjurer’s can master up to 60% of manipulation.
(Not my chart)
I don’t really think he’d have mastered any manipulation yet, but you know what, I won’t completely toss out the idea.
Another factor to this working is speed. You couldn’t tell when Kastro was using his double ability because he was so fast, yet that likely put a strain on his body. With someone like Cheetu however, speed would be no problem, and he could probably make it seem like nothing ever happened, and you wouldn’t know it was a duplicate.
I know there’s someone thinking, “But Hisoka said you can’t replicate battle wounds in your duplicate!” For some people that may be the case, plus, Kastro wasn’t necessarily the perfect example either. He was an enhancer, he could never have gotten good enough to do that with conjuration in the first place.
When you also take into consideration the strength of the powers Pouf hands out, and Cheetu’s ability to just create a new hatsu out of nowhere, having a duplicate do that wouldn’t be a far stretch.
But he wouldn’t need to in that instance. All he would have to do is take the split second to conjure his double, and speed off. Silva probably wouldn’t have noticed anyways, He’s looking straight down from above with a giant nen energy ball obscuring his view. Plus, he isn’t going to expect someone to notice him in time, or have the reflexes. And his fist clearly collided with whom he thought to be Cheetu, and he saw “Cheetu” die.
Zeno wouldn’t have seen either, his back was turned for that split second, and amidst the rubble and dust, you can’t even see the palace in the background.
There is an interesting thing I feel I should note. The person who posted, theorizing that Cheetu wasn’t dead, mentioned something about his ears moving back, I think they said (don’t quote me) “He noticed and was preparing his ability.” Something along those lines.
I agree, I think he realized there was an attack incoming and he readied his double. I also think he was getting ready to run.
When Cheetu is running, there are multiple times we see him with his ears back.
(This is him running before getting tripped, Morel’s foot hasn’t touched him yet, there’s still a small gap. You can see he does indeed run with his ears back.)
I doubt his ears being back was unintentional. When real Cheetahs are running, they run with their ears back. Scientists think it has to do with wind pressure going at such high speeds, (makes sense) and it keeps their head level even as their body moves, so as to keep their eyes on their prey.
Here’s the short article: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/02/cheetahs-ears-are-crucial-catching-dinner
I tried finding more articles because I like to have reliable sources, but shockingly there aren’t many articles on “Why do cheetahs run with their ears back”.
In short, I think he realized an attack was coming, he flipped his ears back, ready to run and prepared his double. The moment he seemingly get’s cut off by the punch, is when he makes his double, escaping in the blink of an eye. His double probably can’t move or talk yet, hence them being cut off. The double could probably mimic appearance only, that includes exterior and interior, hair, eyes, fur, blood, muscles, and organs.
But I don’t think he managed to have them mimic a brain, or he left it out on purpose. He can’t manipulate yet, so a brain would have no purpose. That’s why we only see blood leaking out. With such a traumatic injury to the head, brains would be splattered everywhere.
Here is the dubbed scene for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jitIQ0BUtVk
It may seem far fetched that he could just disappear in the blink of an eye, but we’ve actually seen him do it before, when he waits till the last second to dodge a bullet.
See here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjEldw-ygrc
We don’t see which direction he goes in, nor him removing the officers fingers, we don’t even hear him until the camera pans back and we see him eating the fingers and talking. So really it isn’t that far fetched.
In conclusion, I think Cheetu is alive. By no means is this meant to be canon, I’m just speculating and coming up with any reason for him to be alive, he is my goddamn comfort character!
Alright, for some reason tumblr hasn't been showing all of my posts in the recent search, so I'd recommend checking my page for new stuff if you can't find anything new on the recent page. It's done that with a couple other of my posts, as well as one I just made, theorizing on how Cheetu might not be dead.
Hxh Random Headcanon Time!
Cheetu has fuzzy lips, that much is canon. But I think he would tickle your face with them, peppering your face with kisses while you squirm trying not to be tickled.
You can get back at him by lightly tapping his whiskers. He flinches like a cat would and it's adorable.
Why was Cheetu’ s crossbow so slow?
1. He rushed
As you can guess, one of the reasons was likely the fact that it was just thrown together at the last second. He didn’t take his time making something efficient, and was already using a likely strenuous ability (tag). He was in a hurry and freaked out whilst making the bow so he probably just wanted some kind of long range weapon and didn’t care what.
2. Conjurer complications
As we know from Kurapika, being able to conjure something and do it well requires not only lots of time, but knowing everything about what you are conjuring. Kurapika had to learn the feel, smell and taste of chains. He drew hundreds of pictures of them. He knew them like the back of his hand. (Pun intended).
However, because Cheetu hadn’t done that, he got something very flawed.
3. He doesn’t know anything about crossbows
Nen abilities are usually something very personal to the individual. Not just in looks. I’d say the only thing personal about his crossbow is the style and claws. He likely only saw them in his comic books and never a real one. The people of the NGL are peaceful, and the drug lords wouldn’t have something like that when they had guns.
We all know comic books can be very inaccurate when it comes to weapons, vehicles and other detailed items. He likely only ever saw a simplified version. So no matter how many times he studied that crossbow, it would be inefficient because of the way it had been depicted to him.
4. The way it’s made
This sort of ties into the last one. But honestly. compare his crossbow with a real one.
Crossbows are more like old revolvers or pistols, but with extra stuff on the front. You even shoot it like you would a gun with a trigger. His covers his arm and hand up to the elbow. It would be difficult to pull the trigger when it would have to be moved so far up. But judging by where the string is pulled back to, I’d say he actually pulled off not having to move the trigger.
He likely had something attached to a finger that would pull the trigger at the back of the crossbow. That makes it overcomplicated however, and could effect it’s performance.
But he at least knows that the bolts are usually meant to be the length of ones lower arm. Unfortunately because he is a chimera ant with different proportions, he didn’t think to shorten the bolt and instead ended up with a roughly 30.5 inch bolt. The best sized bolts are from 16-22 inches.
We also see that the bolts have triangular fletchlings, regular fletchlings are more rounded. Even angular ones round inward at the back. Normally triangular fletchlings are used for a bow, not a crossbow. That likely effected the aerodynamics and slowed down the bolts.
Another thing that probably slowed down the bolts a lot, was the skull they come out of. It only has a hole big enough for the tip of the bolt, there is no space for the fletchlings. The fact he even got a bolt out of that is a miracle. Under regular circumstances, it would have gotten stuck at the fletchlings and just hung down from the skull.
But the fact that it was able to get through the skull, tells me that crossbow had some serious force to it, and that the fletchlings were very flexible.
5. Nen power
The abilities given by Pouf are very strong. We know that’s how Cheetu got his “Tag” ability. It was a very strong ability that didn’t seem to be hard for him to use, even being able to have it in use for up to 8 hours. That’s nothing to sneeze at. But when we see his newly made crossbow, it’s pathetic to say the least.
I suspect the reason Pouf’s gifted abilities are so powerful, is because they force the user to increase their actual aura output power (AOP) to the same number as their potential aura output power (POP). Knuckle goes into more detail in episode 90.
That would also explain why the only strong abilities he has are the ones given to him by Pouf. It’s a method of control, to keep them relying on him, and by relying on him, it requires them to swear loyalty to the king. The whole thing is a sort of win-win.
When it comes to using their own abilities however, the AOP decreases to it’s actual amount. Which is reflective of how skilled they actually are. This keeps the ants from running off to do their own thing and think they can be just as powerful without Pouf. It keeps them on a leash. You may think you’re free to do anything and may even be able to take down the king. But that’s why all of the abilities have flaws.
It ensures the king’s safety from rogue soldiers. Be it they don’t know how to properly use their ability, or they do know how to use it, but loop holes and gaps keep them from doing damage to Lord Meruem.
This is why Cheetu’ s crossbow is so weak. It reflects where his actual nen level lies. He lacks training, patience, and a desire to learn. We also see the tole it takes on him to make an ability out of thin air. It isn’t as simple as activating “Tag”.
Conclusion
His crossbow didn’t work because he sacrificed efficiency for aesthetic and didn’t know anything about crossbows.
What would have made his ability work?
Had he been working on a melee ability sooner and his nen, he’d have had an easier time conjuring the crossbow and it could’ve packed an even harder punch.
If he had been studying crossbows extensively he would have known how to make it usable and aesthetic. If the skull wasn’t there or it didn’t have such a small hole for the bolt it would’ve been probably as fast as him. In fact he could’ve just had a big “U” shape cut out from the top of the skull to where the bolt would be. It would keep the look but in a more practical sense.
Plus if he shortened the bolt and gave it regular fletchlings it would be even faster.
I also think having it arm mounted wasn’t the best idea. It’s seen in media fairly often, but in truth, it isn’t nearly as badass as it looks. Having a standard hand held one would be better. Also having his arm free could help in combat. Sometimes you run into situations like Shizuku was in when fighting Pike. Sometimes dropping the item can be faster than having it disappear. Not to mention the natural reflexes are faster.
Since it’s hand held, having entire claws on it isn’t necessary. It would just look weird. His own claws are sharp enough to get the job done, and now that his bolts are more accurate, he doesn’t need the claws.
Now the only problem would be reloading. Rather than grabbing the previous bolt and reloading it, another bolt could just be conjured in the other’s place. Depending on how good he gets at nen, the bow could mimic a rapid-fire gun.
Aim wouldn’t really be a problem for him though. We saw him use it before and he aimed perfectly for Morel’s head. Had Morel not blocked (or it have been a smoke clone) he would have been killed.
He can pair the weapon with his speed as well. He wouldn’t be trackable and where he shot would be a surprise (a painful one) for his victim.
All together would be a scary, but functioning crossbow, with deadly accurate rapid-fire bolts, and a terrifying wielder.
Maybe this time it will load for y’all!
Could Cheetu still be alive?
Alright, I saw a post somewhere theorizing on how Cheetu could still be alive. I don’t know who made the post and I can’t find it, but it really got me thinking.
So, how could he be alive? We saw his body, the blood, and we saw him stop moving. He got a giant aura punch to the head, by Silva non the less, so chances of him surviving such a serious head injury are slim, and chances of him ever being himself again, even lower.
Pretty sure you’d be more likely to get hit by a runaway train as it’s struck by lightning and be able to get up and walk away.
BUT! And I don’t know if the other person mentioned this because it’s been a while since I read it. What if he tricked Silva and Zeno? What if he wasn’t the one punched.
Nen is as original as art, and the series emphasizes this with unique nen abilities for each character. No two are the same, even within the same nen category. But just like in art, there are nen thieves (Chrollo), people who take inspiriation from other abilities (Cheetu. Morel said his ability was influenced by knuckles hakoware) and those who happen to come up with something similar to another person. (Gon’s ability is basically a strong punch, just like Uvogin, yet they never met.)
Now, how could Cheetu have escaped when we saw him dead? How could he be alive aside from a 1 in 6 billion chance? How could he be somewhere else while we’re looking at him?
A double.
I think he may have come up with something similar to Kastro’s double.
Alright, Kastro’s double scenario flopped because he isn’t a conjurer or manipulator, he’s an enhancer. But he was still able to create a very convincing looking double of himself.
Now, Cheetu’s new ability was once again bestowed to him by Pouf, who is capable of creating some seriously detailed and powerful abilities. Despite the Savannah thing flopping, that’s still a pretty big ability that takes a lot of nen to use. Cheetu used it with ease, and even made a new ability out of thin air by himself. And a key point to a double working, is being a conjurer.
Cheetu is a conjurer, so it wouldn’t have been hard for him to create a double.
Conjurer’s can master up to 60% of manipulation.
(Not my chart)
I don’t really think he’d have mastered any manipulation yet, but you know what, I won’t completely toss out the idea.
Another factor to this working is speed. You couldn’t tell when Kastro was using his double ability because he was so fast, yet that likely put a strain on his body. With someone like Cheetu however, speed would be no problem, and he could probably make it seem like nothing ever happened, and you wouldn’t know it was a duplicate.
I know there’s someone thinking, “But Hisoka said you can’t replicate battle wounds in your duplicate!” For some people that may be the case, plus, Kastro wasn’t necessarily the perfect example either. He was an enhancer, he could never have gotten good enough to do that with conjuration in the first place.
When you also take into consideration the strength of the powers Pouf hands out, and Cheetu’s ability to just create a new hatsu out of nowhere, having a duplicate do that wouldn’t be a far stretch.
But he wouldn’t need to in that instance. All he would have to do is take the split second to conjure his double, and speed off. Silva probably wouldn’t have noticed anyways, He’s looking straight down from above with a giant nen energy ball obscuring his view. Plus, he isn’t going to expect someone to notice him in time, or have the reflexes. And his fist clearly collided with whom he thought to be Cheetu, and he saw “Cheetu” die.
Zeno wouldn’t have seen either, his back was turned for that split second, and amidst the rubble and dust, you can’t even see the palace in the background.
There is an interesting thing I feel I should note. The person who posted, theorizing that Cheetu wasn’t dead, mentioned something about his ears moving back, I think they said (don’t quote me) “He noticed and was preparing his ability.” Something along those lines.
I agree, I think he realized there was an attack incoming and he readied his double. I also think he was getting ready to run.

Valentine's Day with the Chimera Ant Arc Characters
I know it's a bit late, but I didn't get to do this during February.
Cheetu:
Like many of the ants, he may or may not know what Valentine's Day is. But considering the amount of manga he reads, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew what it was already. Mostly the day is filled with cuddles. If you aren't a hunter and have a regular job, you probably have to take the day off. He's a morning person, so he might surprise you with some flowers or something. I'll tell you now, you won't be sleeping that night. *wink wink*
Leol:
Valentine's Day is celebrated by sleeping in as long as possible with him. And I don't mean the average sleeping till 12:00, I mean sleeping till the very end of the day, just before the sun sets. He doesn't hate Valentine's day, but it isn't really in his top 10 holidays. He'll still celebrate it with you though, especially if it's important to you. You'll definitely have to tell him about it because he has no idea what it is.
Flutter:
Very much has no idea what Valentine's Day is about. Probably got you a card if anything since it's more personal, gave you a hug and went on with his day. He's not exactly a touchy feely guy, and doesn't do holidays for the most part. If you get him something he's probably really awkward if not a tiny bit shy, but it's well hidden under the confused expression he gives you.
Hina:
She will celebrate anything anytime. She'll even celebrate international squirrel day. She may or may not have a party and invite as many people as possible. Get her a plushie. She loves cute things and she will love that thing to death. Y'all may be partying, but she's very lovey-dovey, she'll latch to you arm a lot or not let go of your hand.
Yunju:
No interest in Valentines day. Not in the slightest. He doesn't know what it is and couldn't care less. He's kind of a dick, so don't expect jack from him. Unless sex is on the celebratory activities list, he ain't interested. The most you can do to celebrate with him without getting laughed at is to say "Happy Valentine's Day." and watch him nod in acknowledgment.
Meleoron:
He knows what it is. He probably got you something early and then forgot once it was actually Valentine's Day. He's probably shy about giving you your gift and then ends up and awkward mess. He's especially nervous if he ended up forgetting what day it was. Once you calm him down, he'll be fine for the rest of the day. He want's you to know he loves you.
Pitou:
They don't know what it is, but once you tell them they'll research a bit more about it. They're officially an expert of all valentine's traditions, history and origins. They give you a card, but they probably don't want anything in return. They have no need for most things, just accept the card and tell them you love them. They're perfectly content with that.
Pouf:
Also didn't know about it but you know damn well he's bringing his violin into it. Probably took you to the balcony at night and played for you. He also got you flowers. If you do something for him or get him anything he'll be a blubbering mess. He keeps going on about how wonderful and loving you are, and how he isn't worthy of such love.
Youpi:
Also didn't know about it, but it isn't as big a deal to him. He knows it's important to you though and got you a card with something cute written in it. He's embarrassed so please don't read it out loud or anything. He also gives you an "I love you". Just don't make a big deal of it, he doesn't want Meruem or the other guards to think of him as emotional like Pouf. You two probably prefer to just hang out.
Meruem:
He learned about it from his guards. He sees it as not a day to show your love, but as a day to prove your love. He will go all out however he can. He's got a stoic disposition, but he does love you. You are precious to him in more ways than you could imagine, and he will do anything to prove to you that he is worthy of you. If you do the same for him, he's genuinely flattered and a little surprised.
Welfin:
Fairly similar to Youpi, but a little more chill with it being a romantic holiday. He doesn't like the super mushy stuff, but he might take you on a date or something. You sleep in and just enjoy the day together. Your date is probably something interactive, he get's bored easily, so Valentine's Day bowling is probably on the list. Or you went to a carnival. If so, he definitely won you a plushie of some sort.
Ikalgo:
Oh god. I hope you like his weird speeches, cause that's what you're gonna get. I totally see y'all going to the beach at sunset. Probably got you flowers, but he wouldn't get you the standard roses unless that's what you really like. He understands from his whole octopus squid dilemma that people have different tastes. Whatever he says to you in his little monologue will probably make you cry. Of joy.
Rammot:
Not a fan of Valentine's Day. The only thing he likes is maybe the candy and chocolate. So he got you that. He'll most likely steal some from you as well. But he just treats it as any other day. That is until night comes around. He's a horny bastard and Valentine's is the perfect excuse to initiate stuff. If you got him anything he'll be awkward. "Um.. Ok.?." But if you get him some candy he'll get very excited. And probably more cuddly.
Palm:
If you two can't go on a date, she'll go ballistic. She doesn't care if it's in public or at home as long as you ask her out and put some genuine thought and love into it. She'll be extremely happy and very flustered. As much as she would probably love going out that day, if you made dinner at home and had her favorite movies and a gift that you knew she would like, she'll be so happy she could squeeze you! She of course got you something too, probably a card. And she dressed up really nice.
Colt:
Didn't know what Valentine's Day was, but when you explained it he started prepping immediately. Planning a date, what to get you, how to ask you out that day.. All that jazz. He might put on a tux or something. I think he'd probably take you dancing. He'd practice a ton beforehand. And if you can't dance, what's more romantic than teaching your loved one? He got you flowers and a card. Please get him something too. He doesn't care what it is, but the fact that you want to give him a token of your love makes him tear up.
Kite:
Took you on a hike somewhere pretty. He might get you a flower, but he's more likely to get you something that you'll remember the trip by. When he loves someone dearly, he doesn't need to give a speech or anything like Ikalgo to convey it. He could say something so casually but you know he means he loves you. You definitely shared a deep kiss before heading back home and relaxing the rest of the night.
Knov:
Another flower guy. He called you in advance and told you to wear something nice. He showed up gave you your flowers and took you out to eat. He's very charming and great at giving genuine compliments. Ones that apply to you and you only. He doesn't really want a gift but if you get him one anyways he'll be flattered. You will feel so overwhelmed with love that your affection tank is overflowing. He's a gentleman through and through.
Knuckle:
The most tsundere one on this list. He's trying so hard to be cool and chill, but failing miserably. You end up eating dinner at home and it turns out cooking together is really fun. He's also very good at making spaghetti. Got you some candy. He debated getting you chocolate but he was worried one of the dogs might get into it. Nothing screams romance like an emergency trip to the vet. He will cry if you get him something. Especially if it's dog themed. He will cherish it for as long as it lasts.
Shoot:
He's super nervous. He either made dinner at home and is trying to make it perfect, or took you to the park at night and is praying some weirdo doesn't mess it up. He probably got you something specific that you like or wanted rather than the generic Valentine's gifts. If you get him something, don't give it to him in public. He's already trying not to cry. He just loves you so much. Your night is filled with sweet kisses and a lot of love.
Bisky:
She's got a lot of date fantasies. She'll spend forever trying to pick one before just mixing most of them together for one perfect date! She tells you she's got plans for you two on Valentine's day and not to be late. You end up going out to eat, going shopping, going on a night time stroll and sitting by the fountain in the park. She got you a card and a more personal gift. If you get her something she likes she'll be beaming. She loves Valentine's Day and probably got a new outfit for the date even.
Hxh Random Headcanon Time
You know those videos of cats eating ice cream and getting brain freeze. And their faces look super weird?
That's Cheetu. He eats it too fast every time and gets brain freeze like clockwork. He's also either trying to play it off like it doesn't hurt or being over dramatic. He's either trying to impress you by saying it doesn't even hurt, or trying to get your attention when he's being a baby about it.
I noticed how you liked asking the question asks so here's one for you! Since chimera ants are animal like/have animal characteristics, do you think they would do things that their animal does? They all have mating seasons? Meleoron sheds? Cheetu chirps?
I think it depends on the ant. Like, some of the stuff they did as animals would now be impossible due to their bodies being more humanoid or combined with some other species. But they definitely still have a lot of things they do that are more animalistic.
Meleoron probably sheds more than most humans, but not as much as a real chameleon. They shed to grow and keep clean. But he has no growing to do and doesn't need to do that to keep clean. His sheds are more like getting a light sunburn and peeling the skin off.
I 100% think Cheetu chirps. Imagine him hearing a distant chirp from some random thing and he just stops for a sec and fucking chirps back. Yes. Also, chirping for cheetahs is a sort of mating call.
Now picture him having an s/o who gets startled and when they do they squeak or chirp. He will think you're trying to get some dick when in fact you stubbed your toe.
He purrs too. It's really loud, but paired with his big furnace temperatured self, his fluff, comfy bed, cuddles, I'm already asleep.
I also think that's why he would be super happy to have a long term partner, especially if they ended up having a kid together and they stayed with him. Usually female cheetahs will pick a male, mate several times over maybe 2 days, and dip.
But for you to stay because you genuinely want to be around him? You get endless cuddles.
I think colt has like a mating dance thing. He knows it's weird and he doesn't do a whole dance thing, but he will be very bouncy. Probably shifting his weight around quickly. It just looks like calisthenics, but really he's into you.
He sings too. You can't tell me his voice wouldn't sound beautiful. I'm hearing him sing "once upon a december" in my brain right now.
He does get very horny during spring though. He keeps it under control with ease, but flirting gets him very flustered unlike usual.
Rammot gets even more horny. Good luck leaving the house. Thank goodness for instacart and uber eats.
Also when he's anxious he'll thump his foot really fast. Or when he's mad he'll stomp like a brat throwing a fit.
I'm pretty sure Leol could roar if he wanted. Though he prefers to use it as a scare tactic when he just doesn't feel like dealing with someone.
Welfin is a little weird. Wolves howl and cannot resist howling when they hear another howl. If he hears one on tv or something, he doesn't howl, he hums it. It's high pitched and over dramatic. I can't even describe it as humming, he does the howl but with his mouth shut and a blank expression.
Yunju will kick you if you stand behind him. He can't always control it, he just will. It freaks him out. Plus he actually has to go to a horse place to get his hooves done. Self care!
He does have a better sense of smell with the snake tongue and all. Not as good as a snake but close enough.
Rule of thumb. DO NOT STARTLE IKALGO. HE WILL GET INK EVERYWHERE. Only his ink is more of the purple/blue ant blood color. He hates the ink thing. It's embarrassing.
I think they have all of the instincts, behaviors and conditions their animal self had, but only if their new bodies are compatible with them. They'll still get an urge to do things a certain way despite that.
Random HxH Headcanon Time!
When Cheetu is bored and wants something he'll obviously pester you about it. He did that to Morel by annoying him. But he does so a little differently with you, especially when he's playful. I headcanon that chimera ants can do most things if not all that their animal counterpart could.
Cheetu can make all the noises a cheetah can, but they aren't really cool like Leol would be when roaring. So he doesn't do them much in public at all.
But around you, he'll make regular cheetah sounds fairly often. Not all of them, mostly purring, the one time he did a meow. It's not only because the noises he makes are cute that he doesn't do them. It's also because he speaks and has a human voice, so it sounds a bit weird. Still cute though!
But if he wants to annoy you, and really wants something, first he'll act like a petulant child and whine about whatever it is, but he'll also chirp and bark at you. Seriously, this is what it sounds like;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjqWFcwnq08
Ah yes. So badass.
Height anon here! I was also curious, how old do you think the chimera ants ages are compared to their ages as humans? Sure as chimera ants they are a couple months old but with key elements we can kinda determine their age ranges. Meleoron smokes and mostly around the world the age is 18-21. So meleoron is at least that old. He also gets along with knuckle (knuckles age is unknown but shoot is canon to be 28 so knuckle is around that age so maybe meleoron is about 23-25? Also with how he talks about his relationship with peggy I'd say he is around 23-25. With hina she acts more childish but talks about her form like a teenager so she was probably a very childish teenager at around 16.
This is an interesting one! I really wish we had more canon info about the ants, but until that happens this'll have to do!
Cheetu: 22. Let's be honest, most people in their early twenties aren't too mature, there are exceptions, but he isn't one. He's still very much about wanting to have fun and I could totally picture him at party playing beer pong or somehting. Also the fact that he likes to be flashy and is very confident screams fuck-boy energy.
Leol: 30-40. He's a lot more mature and mellow. I get massive dilf vibes from this man. He strikes me as dilf that's tired of everyone's bullshit.
Flutter: 26. I don't know why. I honestly had a hard time coming up with an age for him. I think of him as being some youngish computer genius honestly.
Hina: 19-22. She's extremely imature and cares a lot about her figure, she reminds me of someone who'd be in a sorority. She also cares about material things over the people in her life. I see her as one of the Heathers or one of the Plastics not gonna lie.
Yunju: 32. No comment, this just makes sense to me.
Meleoron: 25. He's goofy, but not childishly so, it seems more like anxiety to me. Feel like he would have been a theatre kid in highschool. He's very level headed, and smokes so definently an adult in his mid twenties.
Pitou: 22. They're in their early twenties but they're a lot more mature than most people their age.
Pouf: 26. He's also young, but he's a bit wiser when it comes to emotions, and mental state, and the only way to get that good at reading people is with a nen ability and with experience. So he's had plenty of years to do that, and to master the violin.
Youpi: 25-30. I think he's young as well, but it's hard to figure out exactly how old I think he is. His chillness and personality and akin to Meleoron, but he doesn't look like he's in his early 20's. He looks more like Phinks, who I'd guess is late 20's to 30. Y'alls guess is as good as mine here.
Meruem: 22. He's still young, but not irresponsible and impulsive like Cheetu. Meruem, like Flutter, strikes me as a genius but with something akin to a god complex. He's still imature in that he always wants to be right, and things must go his way or he gets irritated. But he's better at planning and goodd at keeping his cool when needed.
Welfin: 25. Still young and likes to party, but he isn't in his early 20's. He's wise when it comes to certain things and I don't think his intense mistrust is indicative of being childish, but more of having been betrayed in some way or have a dissorder.
Ikalgo: 36. Not old yet, but certainly not in his early 20's anymore. This guy is super wise and really strikes me as being the emotional dad friend.
Rammot: 24. Just a gut feeling on this one. He's certainly not very mature, but not at all a teenager. The number 24 just sorta fit.
Palm: 29. I don't know why, but I just really feel like she is.
Colt: 27. I know before he before he was eaten he was like 8, but as an ant I just don't think he's still that age. Think of it like a past life. Just because you died at the age of 5 in your past life and have memories of it, does not mean that now in your current life you are still 5. It was a different life, and in the one you have now, you continue to age. Colt is very level-headed, mature, and clear minded. He's good at decision making. He acts and looks like an adult, I'm pretty sure he is one.
