so two sisters inherit a ranch. they decide to work on it a bit and after a while realize that they need a bull in order to help them around the place. so they gather together all the spare money they have—around four hundred dollars—and one sister looks at listings online and finds a man a while away who’s got a bull to sell. she decides that she’ll travel down to see him alone and tells her sister that she’ll send a telegram so that the sister can drive down with their truck if they are able to get the bull.
so the sister eventually reaches the man who’s selling his bull and asks what his price will be. he says, “listen. I won’t take a dollar less than three hundred and ninety-nine dollars.” so the sister agrees and pays him the amount, leaving her with one dollar. then she goes to the post office and asks to send a telegram back to her sister to let her know that she’s got the bull so her sister should come and pick them up. but when she asks the person at the counter, they tell her that the telegram costs a dollar per word. the sister only has one dollar so she picks a word carefully and sends the telegram.
The peryton is a mythological creature resembling a deer with the wings and overall plumage of a bird. Sometimes perytons can have bird-like hind legs, but are often depicted as being entirely deer aside from the wings. Last image created by the talented Skallan of Deviantart.

i’m always a little hesitant to post things like this directly in the tags, but i am really tired of people acting like alluka’s gender is confusing or hard to understand, or developing convoluted theories to justify calling her a boy
alluka is heavily implied to be a trans girl; that is, an individual who was designated male at birth who identifies as female. (please note: using masculine language to refer to someone who identifies as female regardless of her stage of transition is known as misgendering and it’s transphobic. please don’t do this.) this is the simplest explanation for her gender, it’s consistent with canon, and it’s consistent with togashi’s previous works. yu yu hakusho featured a minor female trans character named miyuki, and level e feaured a subplot about a transgender man who clearly identified himself as male. (whether togashi was always good at depicting trans characters is another story, and miyuki was really poorly handled. that’s not the point, though.)
now, technically, alluka never explicitly refers to herself as a girl. however, killua does, on multiple occasions. emphatically. the election arc makes it very clear that killua knows alluka (and nanika) better than anyone else. the rest of the family, the ones who refer to alluka as male, are proven over and over throughout the arc to not know alluka as well as killua does, to be wrong about alluka. and how would they know better? they’re the ones who keep her locked away, dehumanize her, consider her not to be part of the family.
(incidentally a lot of their treatment of alluka is consistent with some of the abuse trans kids face in real life hmm)
if anyone wold know how alluka identifies, it’s killua.
