Letskilltimetogether - KillingTimeTogether

dunno what to caption this. I was looking at my hxh character pinterest boards and snagged some stuff off of there to make these

(*´∀｀*)

they really don’t want us to forget that he’s a pretty pretty boy

I've talked once before about how Xeno needs Stan yet holds him back, but today I want to look at how much Stan's presence is also a detriment to Xeno and how his dependence on him leads to aggressive and (frankly) self destructive behavior.

Stanley is very put together, strategic, and calm until Xeno is taken away from him. While everyone else understood that Xeno wasn't in any real danger, and Stan out of everyone knew the connection of mentor / mentee guaranteed a safe and even healthy and stimulating environment for Xeno, he still snapped.

He immediately lost composure and fell for the stupid medusa trick, letting them pass unharmed. He made brash decisions when trying to take Xeno back, and eventually lashed out and murdered everyone with more force and violence than necessary to get him back.

Because of all this, I always see Xeno as an anchoring stone for Stan. And I like to imagine that they both see Stan as an emotional anchor for Xeno, even though, historically, he very much is not

Stan allows Xeno to tip into the dictator mindset and feeds into that wish. He would kill anyone who gets in his way and will hold Xeno on a pedestal, away from everyone who has hurt or undermined him, only further allowing the detrimental mindset of "us vs them" to grow and separate him more. Honestly, Stan doesn't notice it, but his presence in Xeno’s life is largely a bad thing. Instead of letting Xeno vent his frustrations in a healthy way, then return to humanity as a part of it, he allows the disillusion of being the only person able to lead the world to fester in his mind. Stanley is an enabler of sorts, allowing Xeno to check out from reality and from the consequences of his actions.

It isn't until Xeno is forced to live without him and strike his own balance in the KOS that his mentality changes. He softens again, finds faith and hope in humanity and creates lasting relationships with others who value science and truth just like him.

This is further proven when the people he's closest to in the Kingdom of Science go missing and he immediately starts to revert back to the mentality of "us vs them" when dealing with others. That same mentality crept up when he addressed the scientific committee and it was GEN who stopped and calmed him where Stan was content to stand back and allow his brash action to continue.

Their relationship can be seen as fairly simple and straight forward, even sweet at first glance. But the more one looks at it, the more layers of toxicity reveal themselves. There's always something new to focus on.

This had to be drawn

Yes. You. You get it.

However, to get a little introspective for funsies, Senkuu only kind of follows the government law?

(Spoilers for Dr. Stone ahead! No outright plot stuff, but beware!)

To lay the ground work, he doesn’t explicitly defy laws in canon. But some of his actions definitely lean on the illegal side, with the rocket launches, electrocuting of his bullies, and his personal use of school equipment. Here he leans against the law.

In the stone world, he abides by general laws like “don’t kill people” and “no war crimes” and “don’t euthanize people”. That kind of thing. He also mentions reconstructing a legal system at some point? I might be misremembering, but I think he wanted to keep Hyoga and Homura in prision until they remake the legal system and give them a trial, which is very lawful of him, and actually pushes for the opposite argument of him diligently following the law.

However!

To go more into my personal characterization, speculation, and knowledge of fandom head canons; if Senkuu were to encounter a law he thought was unjust, would most likely ignore it or outright try to break it. He wouldn’t follow someone or something just because they’re powerful! He’d follow whatever he believes is morally just and supported by science.

So in a setting where he is forced to follow those rules, like the modern day, then yes he would take those rules to their extreme to mess with people, because he is very chaotic. But most if not all of Dr. stone takes place in a setting where those rules don’t necessarily apply, so why would he have to find loopholes?

I guess what I’m trying to say is that in the Modern World, where Senkuu is not an influential person, he would follow the law but to ridiculous extremes or break it as he feels morally obligated. But in the Stone World where he is basically the president/head of civilization(which is a whole other can of worms I would love to get into another time) he doesn’t need to follow laws he sees as unjust, he can just change them.

For context: I was originally thinking of this meme in terms of Stone World logic bc of his relation to Gen, so I was a little confused when thinking about it that way. Goes to show how much settings can impact a character!

Final note: I completely agree with this meme and I appreciate the creator for their genius. it’s very accurate for both guys. I just like to yap. Thank you for the yap time.

Also they’re gay

*mic drop*

Your honor they're homosexuals

His expression is so good!! It’s very Senkuu but also distinctly a different style. You have captured his essence perfectly💚💚

Senkuu: 😈

get excited ✨🚀

HAPPY STONE DAY!!

LMAO also I love the Doraemon pfp

Like I love Gen getting to be a diplomat, I can’t explain why but it feels really good for his character. But also noooo Gen don’t leave your friends (you need them Gen seriously don’t leave they love you)

Senku having an existential crisis after sending Gen abroad as a diplomat xddd

No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.

He’s so me
