What Would Have Made Cheetu's Ability Work?

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.

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.

My heart🥺

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.

colt nsfw headcanons pls he deserves more love 💗💗💗 ur blog is a blessing

Thank you anon!

-Colt can be a bit shy when it comes to sex. You'll have to bring it up to him first. He'll let you initiate it the first few times.

-He's a switch. If you want to dom him he's perfectly happy with that and if you want him to dom you then he can certainly oblige.

-He tries to hold back his moans but doesn't always succeed, he sounds really hot when he moans. Not to mention if you're teasing him or doing foreplay, the shaky breaths he let's out when you make his body shudder. GOLD.

-Please kiss his neck, he'll shudder as mentioned before, his neck is very sensitive. He has a sweet spot just under the jaw where you would usually feel for a pulse.

-He isn't super freaky but will indulge in some of your kinks.

-BODY. WORSHIP. He will leave kisses all over your chest, tummy, face, collar, arms, you name it, while telling you how beautiful and perfect you are.

-If you do the same to him he'll mentally implode from so much praise, he feels undeserving of it and suddenly getting so many genuine compliments while you kiss him is overwhelming. In a good way!

-Colt loves to hug you while he's inside you. If you're facing the counter and holding yourself up with your arms while he's behind you, his arms wrap around your waist.

-If you're doing missionary, he's snaked his hands to your back and gently pressing the sides of his elbows agaisnt your ribs.

-He pants during sex, not really fast like a dog, but at his regular breathing speed.

-He will whisper sweet nothings into your ear, a lot of I love you's.

-We all saw that scene where he retrieves Kite from the dead queen. He's a passionate guy and emotional. He will act similarly during sex. He might cry because he feels so much love in his heart for you.

-Sex with colt is very loving and sensual. He's very alert to your body language and great at aftercare.

-The way he initiates sex is usually by cuddling for a while, then kissing and then sex. He's in no rush when it comes to being intimate with you.

-I don't mean he'll wait a long time before ever having sex with you, no, no, not at all, I mean when he wants to have sex with you, he want's to do it right and not feel rushed because you both need to go somewhere or do anything.

-His wings puff up and wrap around the two of you almost protectively. Also helping to block out the rest of the world so you two can just focus of eachother.

-He very shy with pda. If you give him a hug, a peck on the cheek or hold his hand, he'll be very flustered and blush bright red. He's embarrassed by anything more than public handholding so if you're teasing him or you smack his but or something he'll just tell you that this isn't an appropriate time for that.

-He isn't fond of quickies. You deserve to feel fully loved on and appreciated, just having a quick fuck and rushing off seems barbaric to him.

-Colt is a simp. It's that simple. Though not a bad thing. Nothing wrong with being a simp.

-Always makes sure you're comfy and feel safe.

-He would love a relationship where he can be your protector. He wants you to be safe, healthy and happy and would do anything for you.

-Protection-wise, he'll wear a condom if you want, or none if you'd rather not.

-You probably have a long discussion about sex before having it for the first time. This man will deadass take notes on what you like or don't like if he needs.

-I feel like if there was ever an accidental pregnancy he would be so great about it. He'd ask what you wanted to do, if you wanted an abortion, to keep the child or to adopt it out. No matter what you choose he would be supportive of you the whole way.

-If you chose to get an abortion he'd offer to go with you for emotional support. (Abortions can be a difficult decision for many and you should never shame, guilt or judge anyone for their decision.) He will give you so much love and comfort.

-If you chose to have the baby and adopt it out Colt will help you however he can during the pregnancy and be by your side the whole way.

-If you decide to keep the baby he would be so honored. He'll give you the same speech he did with Reina. "I will protect our baby with my life." When you start feeling kicks and such, put his hand on your belly to feel them. He'll probably start crying more happy tears.

-Most of the time when you guys have sex, Rat Kite will be asleep for the night or at school. (Yes Colt sent Kite to school even though they're an adult.)

-When it comes to aftercare he will compliment you and pepper your face in kisses. He'd get you water, snacks, whatever you need.

-He will wait for you to fall asleep before he does.

-Will definitely stroke your cheek as you drift off.

-Over all, sex with this man makes my heart melt. 11 out of 10.

Hxh Random Headcanon Time

I think Leol would be a dom for sure. But not just some dom that thinks they know what they're doing cause they saw it on pornhub, no, no, no. He'd be sort of like a professional dom.

He knows what he's doing, he's great with consent and just having chill conversations about kinks, hard limits and new things before the act. He'd also be the type to actually know how to do asphyxiation without causing damage or death to the other person.

I don't think he would be a real professional dominant, but he knows all the same stuff and applies all that to his intimate relationships.

I feel like him and his partner would use either the yellow and red safewords (if you're unfamiliar, red is STOP. Yellow means getting too close to red. If I got that wrong please let me know, I don't want to hand out wrong info) or a silly one like "sunglasses" or "Mufasa".

I definitely see him as into scratching and clawing. Most likely into choking aswell, usually pushing his s/o against the wall with hand around their throat.

He loves to be praised, during aftercare please tell him how great he did and how much you enjoyed yourself. He'll smirk and pet your hair (or hold you closer to him if you have none).

Note: When it comes to asphyxiation kink, please do extensive research so as not to injure or kill your partner. It's a dangerous kink and you shouldn't be choking anyone or yourself until you can do so safely.

Also make sure to have a long conversation about queues with your partner. If you're choking you can't talk, use a motion or blinking, maybe some kind of intense emotion or maintaining eye contact.

Sexplanations has a video on it and I feel like it's very useful. Be safe y'all!
