This Is A Doodle Of A Flashback From Chapter 22 In My Fic, Imminently Intertwined. I Actually Doodled

💓💓💓

Designs for Caleb and the witch because uuuuh yeah

any flower symbolism analysis for thanks to them 👀 i saw at least one person mention a flower that was presses into willows scrapbook but that was it

The flowers in Willow's scrapbook are Asters!

Here are some examples of pressed Asters, for further comparison;

On their own, Asters represent patience, love and wisdom. But Asters, much like roses, have unique meanings based on the color of the flower as well. And Pink Asters specifically signify kindness, sensitivity, and romantic love.

I also noticed that Hunter's pillow has a leaf pattern on it as well, which appear to be ferns;

I was halfway through typing out a breakdown on discord about how ferns symbolize healing and protection, (and, as I have since discovered, can also symbolize dreams/"I dream of you") when no less then four people started screaming about this scene;

soooo, yeah. XD

Inspired by how some male relatives (aka. my dad) would just randomly drop some traumatic lore from their past like it's nothing and you just have to sit there reeling while they keep on driving.

So I was going to make a silly post about how much I love their gossipy silly friendship and then I overthought it so now I'm making it your problem too.

Just think. All those years at Hexside, Willow failing every class, Gus the child prodigy but in an undervalued track. Being told constantly by adults that they weren't good enough unless they aspired to be in the Emperor's Coven, with all the ruthless individualism and backstabbing that entails. They were brought up in a society where their worth was measured by how much they could serve an emperor, a system, which was designed to take everything it could and give nothing back. and they weren't perfect: look at how they idolize the emperor's coven in season 1.

And yet. And yet and yet. Gus still stuck with Willow while she was being bullied by the most popular kids in school, not to mention the teachers! Willow wasn't scared when Gus' illusions got out of control, and taught him how to quieten down his mind!! When Gus ran away from home, when he was terrified of telling his own dad he got a failing grade, Willow was the one to go and find him!!!

And then! When Willow brought Luz to school in secret for the first time, Gus was the only one she trusted enough to tell! They're the ones who incited the crowd to protest until the emperor set Luz and Eda free! They forgave Amity and befriended Hunter. They're the backbone of the Hexsquad as we know it. Despite the odds being stacked against them, together they managed to carve out this space for silliness and joy and decency.

Hunter said that he never thought there'd be a place for him in a world like this. Luz ran away from the human realm because it felt so hostile to her. Amity was trapped under the constant expectations of Lilith and her parents. But all along, Willow and Gus were quietly preparing a space for them, to come when they were ready

idk i just think that they're important that's all

I couldn’t help myself....

Okay but imagine Hunter's attempt at showing affection for Willow. Remember how he told Flapjack to "be safe!" and "I love you!" over the walkie talkie in front of Luz? Like I know it's different but like, he knows Willow would kick his ass if he actually embarrassed her in public (not that he could) but imagine him trying to sneak kisses when no one is looking or giving her quick hand signals so he wouldn't have to say things out loud and THEN at some point someone else on the Emerald Entrails catches him doing it and he gets all embarrassed but Willow is like "and??" and as hes trying to hide or run away she takes him right out of the sky with her vines like when they first met and then kisses him on the cheek like "yep i snagged a good one"

trial and error and error and error and error and error and error and error and error and

im so sorry for being so hard on you. you tried to be strong, and you were

One of my favorite things is fanfic Author’s Notes where it says something like “One more chapter left!” and then you scroll up and see exactly when they lost control of their life. It’s funny every time and I always appreciate the additional reading material.

might as well put this here now that it's confirmed hunter was created as a toddler but i do have a headcanon that hunter's sprig plushie was originally a gift from belos from an early childhood...

belos getting it for him when hunter was a kid, back when he was still somewhat affectionate towards him, when he was actively making him love him/making him think HE loves him, before he grew colder/pulled away/started using more hurtful manipulation tactics... carrot and the stick, etc.

and then hunter not knowing what he did for the affection to end, wondering Where he went wrong, yearning to one day be good/helpful enough to get that affection back.......

and then after everything is done and belos is dead, hunter still asking darius/raine/whoever else would be going through the castle rubble to give him the plushie if they find it. cuz he still cares abt it, and it still WAS a source of comfort throughout his life, despite it being a gift from belos. in his mind the plushie is a positive thing in his life, that probably helped him through many scary moments and lonely nights..... a relic from the time he Felt like he was loved by his uncle.

Willow as Evalyn?

TOH SPOILERS (?) 

 The ripped dress, the tail?? The overall witch costume? I may be overthinking but what if Willow is being portrayed as Evalyn, the witch  who Caleb fell in love with
