Phinks - Blog Posts

Troupe Karaoke Nights:

Kalluto and Feitan are definitely singing “That Beautiful Sound” from Beetlejuice Broadway on Troupe Karaoke nights. It’s them and their relationship through and through 😂

Phinks sings Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne on a dare from Shalnark and Feitan.

Nobunaga sings “Too Little Too Late” by JoJo while Uvogin adds the background Chorus. Man knows how to reach a high note.

Chrollo is without a doubt “Water Under the Bridge” by Adele or “Summertime Sadness” by Lana Del Rey. If he’s feeling it he might even bring out some Taylor Swift.

Shalnark starts singing “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepson in response to Phinks which almost results in his head through the wall 😂

Franklin brings in the Jazz with Harry Connick Jr. “It Had To Be You”

Phinks demands a rematch to which him, Feitan and Shalnark start rapping the hell out of “Face Off”. It would have been impressive if Phinks and Shalnark could actually rap and Feitan didn’t miss words. But the spirit was there

Machi sings “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” while Pakunoda starts singing “It’s Raining Men” with Shizuku who proceeds to forget all the lyrics.

Illumi just spoke the lyrics to “Secret” by the Pierces which creeped out every soul in the Karaoke room.

Kortopi started singing “Baby Shark” which everyone joined in on and Hisoka sat outside in the rain with his face pressed up against the window. One might have even seen a tear if they looked close enough.

This is just a mess and for fun, please don’t take it too seriously! Also, am I the only one who thinks when Phinks sings it’s country twang sounding? Like think the song “Fake ID” by Big & Rich 🤣

Nicknames they have for you:

Feitan: Doll and doll face. (for some reason I feel like he’d call his s/o ‘little flame’ and ‘my little sun’ in his native language. Darling if they’re someplace formal/undercover or more as a snide/sarcastic nickname to show whose in charge. Brat if they’re being a tease or he’s teasing them. I could also see him saying my pretty little play thing 🤣).

Chrollo: Mi amore, love, dear, darling, sweetheart, my queen/muse/heart/treasure/one and only (very formal and classic names. He might also just look at you and call you irreplaceable)

Phinks: Babe and sweet cheeks

Machi: Just uses your name. (Baby once in a blue moon in private).

Killua: cheeks and babe. (My little light and baby only in private or if one of you is hurt, sick or upset).

Nicknames you have for them:

Feitan: Fei, Killer Queen, hot tamale, love, hunny bun, demon spawn, skull face (honestly I think he gets the worst nicknames given bc his s/o can get away with it). The most common ones they use are love, Fei and Killer Queen.

Chrollo: Lover boy, love and amore. (I feel like Chrollo has a personal hatred for the nickname Babe & Bae because of how casual it sounds. He likes very formal sounding ones but prefers just his name when around others).

Phinks: Babe (sometimes they teasingly call him Mr. Macho).

Machi: Pink cheeks, my little needle, babe (she hates being called baby, it makes her feel less dominant).

Killua: Sparky, sweets, love, babe, baby cakes, kitten, kit kat (if they’re older than Killua I can totally see them calling him hun/honey or baby). The most used ones are definitely Sparky, Kit Kat and Babe.

As always, thank you and lmk if you want thoughts on something or request something!

Would Feitan Ever Leave The Troupe?

Overall I think no, but there are always exceptions aren’t there? I think there would be two he definitely would though.

1. If his partner got murdered or he had to murder them (more likely because of the latter). Depending on how it goes down he would stop altogether or go on a more reckless killing spree.

2. Something breaks him. This is what I think it would be (set a few years after the current arc)

Imagine Feitan has a little girl. Cute, quiet, innocent with big eyes. The perfect mix between his s/o and him. Every time he looks at her he feels undeserving to be her parent. He tries to avoid her at times because of the way she always seems to want him. Want his approval, to babble nonsense and talk about how to get away with murder (I mean common, it’s his daughter 😂). She looks at him like he’s her hero but he's a monster. He knows this. She knows what he is. Who he is. Yet that has never changed her opinion if anything making her more fascinated with him. (He’d probably think something along the lines of ‘Just like her mother, terrible taste in people’)

It would be a random mission. It's not supposed to be anything big. They just needed information. Phinks already has them in the room they think Feitan would prefer. He never knows who he has to torture on missions like this. However, when Feitan walked in he didn't expect this. A little girl his daughter's age, same mannerism, same bright eyes, similar appearance. Similar everything. It was as if she was copied and placed in his torture chambers. It was unnerving.

He tried. He truly did. It never bothered him before. Age, gender, power, etc. He hadn't cared before. He could do it all without a second hesitation. He could feel the frustration seeping in. The little girl was insightful, she told him she was dying and her father was a bad man who hurt people too. She smiled sweetly up at him reassuring him she didn’t hate him, that she understood why he had to do this. She always knew this would happen—it wasn’t a big deal.

At that moment Feitan could feel the crack. He recognized this in his daughter too. Her ability to smile through it all. Knowing who he was and that if anyone found out about their ties she would most likely be tortured and murdered in the worst ways. Yet her refusal to hate him, to still want to be around him, running up to him every time he went home asking what he brought her this time while begging him to play swords with her (‘little brat thinks she’s owed a good life ’). Too curious for her good and not afraid to ask him anything, to run to him for protection and safety. That he was home to not just his s/o but his child that couldn’t defend herself just yet but sure as hell had the spitfire to get there.

The way the little girl told him exactly what he wanted to know on the promise he’d read her favorite book to his daughter. That he’d play her favorite game with her and let her die with “Mr. snuggles” ( an ugly little yellow bear) in her arms. Honestly, he’s not positive what broke. Maybe it was his heart. Maybe his inhumanity.

Either way, Feitan wasn’t the same. Maybe he messed up and let her go. Maybe he killed her. It honestly doesn’t matter. Feitan would never be the same. He would never find the same joy once held in torture and killing as he once did. Something just dissatisfied him and made him uninterested in it. He couldn’t put his finger on the exact emotion but he couldn’t do this anymore.

He saw his daughter in his chair, life in his hands and he broke. He flatly laughed, how ridiculous is this twist of fate. From having nothing to having something he never wanted to be taken away in the ways he’s taken so many.

He didn’t have the heart for it anymore, he knew he couldn’t do this job anymore. One little misstep would cause the others their lives and he wasn’t willing to do a job he knew he wasn’t suited for. It was always a tell. One misstep would lead to another one and another, skills slipping, mistakes left and right, tracks left undone, a mess that would only lead to death (the troupe, his s/o, his daughter, maybe all). He hated messy. He hated not doing something right. He hated that in less than a day his whole ideology had fallen apart. Yet that was the path he was forced to face.

Wordlessly he walked back to the spiders.

“Quite”. Was the only word he said dropping his knives in front of Chrollo.

Chrollo confused accepted his resignation without question. An understanding smile creeped on his lips. The others were pissed. Hurt. Confused. Yelling profanities and threats ensued. Spiders demanding an explanation they’d never get.

He turned around walking out. “Where will you go!” Phinks yelled, slamming a fist into the wall.

Stopping slightly Feitan looked back and for once the troupe could see a hint of a smile. A true genuine smile, “home.”

That was the last time they saw Feitan.

Feitan would never be the same but maybe, just maybe, he was ok with that.

Unpopular Kurapika Headcanon

A/N: As always, just my thoughts! Hope you enjoy! 🙃

Warning: torture, murder and rape mention.

I feel like if Kurapika were to find out a spider had an S/O he would go crazy. He doesn’t understand why you’d be with those monsters and that leads him to assume a possibly innocent person has involvement in the troupe that most of the troupe members likely don’t even know exist. Hell, some of the Spiders s/o might not even know the full extent of what the troupe does for their own safety.

( I totally head-canon that they’d all keep their s/o to themselves if they did except maybe Phinks? Especially if they weren’t a spider. Most of this is because while they have some trust in their team they don’t with their s/o especially because they’re aware people with ability like Paku exist thus the more people that know the more danger their s/o is in).

He would demand to know how long they had been with said spiders, what do they know? Do they know about the Kurta Massacre and did nothing? Did they participate? You didn’t even try stopping their murderous acts and this is as bad as the act itself in his mind.

Kurapika would become very angry and unhinged. His friends likely would not be able to stop him. Leorio tried but got knocked out after being punched to a wall. Gon tried reasoning but fell to death ears. Honestly Killua might be able to stop it but it would be more like him and Gon would try finding the spider themselves to get Kurapika to stop from murdering someone who was so clearly not apart of the spiders. (This would come with the condition of not murdering Kurapika. Not a trade for the Spider for their s/o. Gon and Killua can see the advantage to it but honestly they just want Kurapika to stop and don’t care if it comes from a trade or just bringing the spider. This condition is something that the Spiders would live with as they want their s/o back. For now at least. They will plan a brutaler way for Kurapika to die later then.)

Depending on the answers given to the previous questions depends on the outcome.

First, his clan was all murdered. How could a troupe member have someone that they probably loved and still were able to do that with no regrets, qualms or sorrow.

He would want the spiders to feel that sorrow. Even if their s/o wasn’t involved. He’d want the spiders to feel isolated, abandoned, lost and the pain and suffering of loosing the people who love and accept you.

He would be a loose canon. He would only see red.

Depending on whose S/O they were probably depends on their punishment. People like Feitan, Chrollo, Phinks, and Nobunaga’s s/o getting the absolute brunt of it. (If your Chrollo’s good luck, your gonna get the worst of it).

If you weren’t the s/o of one of the previously mentioned spiders you’d probably get a little roughed up and his judgment chain/ chain jail with nen conditions(he would adjust his conditions stating since while you may not have been directly involved with the massacre of the Kurta you are still involved with the Spiders).

The worst possibility is maybe he snaps and kills the s/o. This isn’t likely for the members S/O as he really wants the spiders to see their s/o destroyed as a consequence of their actions.

Now as I stated people like Feitan, Chrollo, Phinks, and Nobunaga’s s/o would get the absolute brunt of it.

Now remember this man is only seeing red, there is no reasoning or stopping him like this. Not when it comes to the fact the troupe can kill people others care about but when it comes to their own loved ones they expect to be untouchable. He just can’t stop. He will regret and have a hard time accepting whatever decision he goes through with. Especially with these members s/o.

Their punishments could go from beating to torture to murder to having his own time with them but it wouldn’t be just his nen chains. The spiders deserved to get pain like no other and what better way than through their s/o.

He would try to break the Spiders s/o. This could be keeping them for a few days to figure out what to do with them and beating them whenever they say something to defend themselves or a Spider. He will break their wills. He wants them to beg for death like his clan did. He will take their eyes. No mercy will be found when he is like this. He wants them to break.

He gets a terrible idea to claim their s/o as his own while breaking them. This means he will force himself on them. He reasons they deserve it. The fact he gets pleasure from the spiders knowing what he did to their s/o disgusts himself. Knowing it will scar their s/o. That the spiders will never be able to get away from a piece of him. Something so intimate and sacred, ruined. He wants to make sure the spiders think of him when they tend to the psychological and physical wounds of their s/o. He wants to make sure they will ALWAYS see traces of him even if just in memories or a flash when they see or touch their s/o. He wants them to feel pain and he’s not above going low methods he will for sure regret and have a hard time living with.

Kurapika justifies all of this with his end goal being to destroy the spiders. Their s/o was unfortunate but necessary collateral damage.

If Killua and Gon show up with the spider they will be horrified but try to block the memory of how far Kurapika is willing to go to break a Spider. The spider will collect their s/o with a calmness like no other but their aura promising nothing but the most painful murder possible. Meanwhile Gon and Killua try to hold Kurapika back begging through tears to just let them go. He’s done enough. When Gon tells Kurapika he’s scaring them that is the moment when Kurapika snaps out of it and looks at his friends. Both pairs of eyes glassy showing urgency for him to stop.

Kurapika will cry, he will feel like he broke himself and imprisoned himself rather than the spiders with his actions. He never wants Gon and Killua to stare at him so afraid and hesitant to reach out again. He refuses to let himself get so out of control again.

He will disappear from his friends for a long time, ashamed of himself. While he is thankful Gon and Killua did stop him from going further he would have a hard time accepting they brought the Spiders to him. Both because it was stupid and they could’ve been hurt but also because his trust felt betrayed though he would push that feeling down a bit more. He knows they did what they had too.

He may still think the Spiders and their s/o deserved it but not at the cost of his closest friends. The only family he has left. It doesn’t necessarily mean he regrets doing it but he regrets being so unhinged that Gon and Killua felt it necessary to seek out the Spiders.

Depending on what happens and if the other Spiders know, Chrollo will most likely order that anyone who crosses paths with the chain user can kidnap and torture the user but to make sure to leave them alive so the s/o’s Spider will get the finishing blows. (After his exorcism of course).

^u^

Phinks is my fave phantom troupe member 🥰

Look at him patiently explaining and in a way mentoring Gon and Killua about nen....(possible future truce/team up a la greed island hisoka??)

Soft spot for Gon and Killua???? Microscopic possibility...

Calls Feitan “Fei” as far as I know the only troupe member to do that... yea it was once but that means he called Feitan that before. And how cute is that??? Fei... like fae... little fairy Feitan

Respects women to a dregree

Saves children, though he did threaten to kill Gon and Killua...

Able to rein in Feitan

Best friends with Feitan. FEITAN of all people. Feitan, arguably the biggest jerk contained in the smallest package. Which just means Phinks is an asshole too if he’s friends with Feitan but we already knew that

Protects fellow troupe members from beefcakes like razor

Anyway Phinks is a great character and although he will probably die on a montain of corpses in DC arc I hope to see more of him ☺️
