We are going for two years of long distance soon

Me (21F) and my boyfriend (24M) have been together for 2 years. He's my first boyfriend and I'm his first girlfriend. I got a full scholarship to study in Europe, and I *will* have to stay 2 years there, otherwise I have to payback the government all the investment that wasn't used. And I can't come to my home country during those two years, but after those two years, I have a legal obligation to come back for at least the same period of time. This is a dream come true, and my boyfriend is really happy for me, so he is not upset at all, in fact he thinks this opportunity benefits him too as he'll have the opportunity to go to Europe visit me. He's alredy saving a lot of money, but he'd go 6 months later and spend only two weeks there.

I honestly don't know what to expect. We are together almost everyday, as we study and work together, and I'm a little nervous, but I don't want to give up on this relationship. There was a moment in our relationship that I wasn't much more invested, because we had a fight that made me realize a flaw I didn't like about him, and that made me think "well, if it doesn't work, that's fine". But after the fight I think he really showed a LOT of progression, respect and just a beautiful heart, and I realized I really want for us to work out. But now that I'm not thinking "it's fine if it doesn't work, I can just break up", now I'm insecure thinking "what if HE wants to break up?". I'm scared he'll fall in love with someone else here and give up on me.

Anyways. Did anyone go through something similar?

From the Character Book written by Yoshihiro Togashi as a guide for the 1999 anime/manga. Killua is so adorable

Unfortunately this was the only part I found, there are no scans outside Japan

But I can't find the pictures anywhere and I need to see it again 😅

Is Hunter x Hunter your favorite anime? If so, why?

I've watched many animes, and for a while Hunter x Hunter wasn't my favorite. Fullmetal Alchemist was one of the first animes I ever watched, and I had it in a special place in my heart, and for that reason Hunter x Hunter was in second/third for many years. Then, a few years ago, I suddenly got very interested in Hunter x Hunter again. I rewatched it, and now it's definetly my top 1 and Fullmetal is not even close to it (although I also rewatched it recently). It's in a different level for me.

First of all, I think that I read many books and watched many shows in these last years, which really refined my tastes. I realized that I really love character-driven shows instead of plot-driven shows (like Attack on Titan and FMAB), and I LOVE well written characters. The plot can be absolute shit (which obviously is not, but compared to Attack on Titan, HxH's overall plot is much less complex), but if the characters are well written, I think it makes the difference completely. If you like Fantasy books, it's basically the difference between ASOIAF and other fantasy books. ASOIAF is pretty much character-driven, and this is what makes it so well-regarded.

I read everything, now what?

I never went through a hiatus before, 2 hours in and I'm already feeling the withdrawal symptoms, send help.

But for real, this was great. I watched the anime almost a decade ago, but I was never really interested in the manga. This year I decided to start reading it and I've been obsessed. It's so great. I'm loving the Succession War, it's confusing sometimes, but the characters are all so interesting and it's fun to never know what's happening next. I do miss Gon and Killua A LOT, but it's refreshing to not have the OG main characters in the manga now, I'm also loving to see Kurapika shine more. I loved the card game between Morena and Borksen, I have high expectations for them! And I know Tserriednich is an asshole, but I love all of his chapters, such an interesting character. It's funny how everyone is killing each other and he's just hyperfixated in learning nen all day long.

Winter feeling worse in the south of Brazil than in Europe

I'm from Sweden and I've been in Curitiba for a few months, and I've never been so miserable in winter as I've been here. It's around 3° degrees celcius in the mornings here in Curitiba, but air humidity is 90%, which is a nightmare combo. It's like I'm living in a fridge. And houses here have 0 preparation for winters, some houses are even colder than outside somehow, and I have to wear winter clothing on the inside too, last night was horrible, I couldn't even keep my head outside the blanket without feeling like i was sleeping on the streets instead lol. And the water? Don't even get me started, I washed my hand today and it felt like I was washing it in ice

I read the Phantom Troupe's backstory today...

If you told me they were theater kids who dubbed animated shows before becoming serial killers I would never have believed you

The difference between anime sub and manga translation in this scene...

I never could really understand what meruem meant when I watched this english subbed. But reading the manga, this has become one of my favorite quotes by Meruem. Him admitting that although he's not God, he could've done a lot with that world if he learned what truly mattered from the beginning. I think it's so sad and so beautiful at the same time. He was his strongest at this point, both emotionally and physically, but also his weakest as he's about to die.

Honestly, would it be weird if I said everyone should inspire to be more like Meruem? Although his beliefs are challenged all the time, even though he's humbled again and again, he always see those moments with joy and respect, and grows as a being instead of being prideful. I think it's so hard for me to be like that sometimes, don't feel bitter when I lose, or don't take it personally when I'm proved to be wrong or stupid. I think this is why Meruem is one of my favorite characters. He has proven again and again how intelligent he his, and I'm not talking about his book-smarts.

PS; We are going in late January and early February. I know it's not the best season, but it's the only time in the year we have vacation together.

I'm thinking 4 days in Paris and 4 days in Rome are musts for now. We also wanted to spend 2 days in Switzerland (We wanted to go to Lindt's Chocolate Museum, but not sure what else to add, we wanted some nature scenery but not sure what's the best option). Then some days in Vienna, we also want to Skii in Austria.

For now that's it. My partner is obsessed with history and WW2, so we definitely want to visit Germany, but not sure how to make it fit. He also wanted to visit Normandie in France, but I really think it's not going to fit our plans.
