Miss This Au, I Have So Old Wips I Need To Get To For This One

A silly comic based off @for-those-who-wait tag on Hunter teeth. They probably wouldn’t cut his mouth but they definitely do stick out a bit. My boy pouts or frowns so much as a way to shield them, so once he starts becoming more happy, they stick out more :3

I think that people sometimes don't understand the kind of abuse Belos put hunter through. He didn't just make him miserable and do nothing but ever hurt him. Hunter wouldnt have been so loyal if he had. Belos manipulated him. He made him think it was his own fault if he got hurt, he deserved it because he let Belos down. Think of the way Belos spoke to him during the last episode of season 2. "Why are you hurting me? I just wanted to help you." He lies to him. He probably HAS told hunter that he loves him. Probably when he was younger he DID show him affection, and then started withholding it. So he starts feeling withdrawals for it. He gets more desperate as he's forced to fight harder and harder to get it.

And on a similar note. I don't think people realize Belos not being able to control his curse wasnt a lie? Like we see him struggle to repress it on multiple occasions. As early as when he meets Luz in the past, we see when we see his arm with the glyphs on it, the way it ripples and bulges and he's obviously in pain as he forces it down. That's what happened in hollow mind; we see the mass of palisman souls are fighting inside of him. Thats his curse. All those souls he's consumed trying to destroy him. And then Belos destroys it, which gives him for the first time full control over his fucked up body. Before that he genuinely doesn't have full control of himself

Undemons your demon

Makes your powerful god mortal and weak.

Hunter giving Belos a second curse just to fuck with him: ya know I had to double it

Need a version of Hunter where he traumatizes Belos back or something

It’s out of character but it’s a funny thought, like after Hollow mind he says fuck it and commits acts of warfare, psychological and physical on any emperor coven member he sees. He’s been betrayed in the worse way possible and makes it everyone else’s problem.

Sees what Gus can do in labyrinth runners and instantly wants to learn how to replicate it! Heard that Lilith cursed Eda, where she get those scrolls from?! Wild magic and dangerous magic/potion books from Eda and the school, he must have have them!

I don’t even know the specifics on how this would work but all I know is that kid needs to go rogue and traumatize that hag back I say!

I remembered that this music existed and immediately thought hehe blorbo spin music

Been drawing to much cute stuff, here’s some Hunter execution trauma

Been thinking of writing something that relates to the hexsquad and other characters (Darius, Lilith, Eda, Camila, ect) finding out what being Golden Guard actually meant. In the show, Hunter is pretty isolated as the Golden guard, primarily acting out independently in missions and even then those missions were decently brutal. (Slaying a selkidomous and kidnapping palismen for slaughter). So it figures no one actually really knew what he did. So they question, and he answers.

It’s tough hearing someone you know as a victim also victimizing others. How many owners of palismen did he leave heartbroken? Any children he orphaned? Witches and demons left without their partners? Had sigils forced upon? Made into statues because of him?

I think of the Golden Guard being an icon to the boiling isles , someone who’s known widely yet no one quite knew what he actually did since it was stuff to carry out Belos dirty work.

Some Hunter/TOH speculation

Woah, I just realized that Belos told Hunter to keep an eye on the owl house members in the end of Young Blood, Old Souls. You can see in Separate tides where he watches them from the ship. Lil creep lol

Since the show being cancelled and the team had limited episodes, lots of things had to changed. (They didn’t even plan for the collector to be character in the first place!)

Makes me wonder if there was going to be more Golden Guard episodes planned before we truly met Hunter. I wonder if the also means much of his characterization was changed. Was Hunter meant to be a liar of some sort or a spy? I’m pretty sure he was bluffing for the most part in separate tides which is technically him lying. Idk it would have been cool to see him stalking the owl gang. A fun play on his name. Makes me watch to watch imaginary/cut episodes about him in between separate tides and Hunting palismen.

Rip spy Hunter, your potential will be missed.

AU where the coven heads actually get along…sort of.

They’re all still awful people but they realize they get more out of working together rather than against. They don’t quite like each other but theirs no bad blood. They all hang out and be lil bitches together.

They even let Hunter hang out with them due to the fact that he’s so good at acting like an adult (as sad as that is), a ‘bratty’ one but he does know a lot.

Rather then just brushing Hunter off as some brat like in canon, they see the potential in him and think ‘yeah we can make this kid into an absolute beast’

It’s mainly to have him do their dirty or difficult work for them but they also grow fond of him.

Idk I just want to give Hunter a dysfunctional family out of the Coven heads

Extra:

Hettie teaches Hunter anatomy so he knows where to hit his enemies and healing spells to heal himself and scouts he works with.

Darius teaches Hunter how to sew like in canon but sooner and teaches him all sorts of abomination magic like the translocation.

Vitimir teaches him all sorts of potions and how to incorporate them in fighting. He also teaches Hunter potion tolerance and how to resist certain ones and mithridatism

Adrian teaches him some illusions and even acting skills so Hunter becomes a better liar.

Eberwolf brings him out to catch and train with beasts. They bring him all sorts of bugs and little critters. Hunter often goes on retrieval missions to bring Eber stuff for the beasts he keeps.

Terra let’s him hang out at the garden and green house and teaches him all sorts of Botany and plant magic. She likes info dumping on him.

The previous Bard and Riane teach him Bard magic. Hunter summons his own violin.

Orsan teaches oracle magic to him but mainly likes to teach Hunter mind games

Mason teaches Hunter construction magic and how to use to use it to fight and fix damage done after a fight.

Lilith though jealous and annoyed, still recommends him all sorts of book and in good moments they info dump on each other

A lot of theses skills I think Hunter would have in canon like the anatomy and potion thing but he had to learn those on his own. In this Au the Coven heads are actually bothered to teach him.

Due to these changes Hunter is more comfortable with doing all sorts of combo magic like how we see Lilith does in the shows. He also carries a belt of potions with him. Certain stuff in the show goes different as well since he does form a bond sooner with Darius and Adrian.

The coven heads aren’t aware he doesn’t have a bile sac they just think he has a weak one. They help him learn how to translate their spells into his staff spells.

They all still can be cruel to Hunter like Adrain’s and Darius cruel jabs at him or Terra giving him plants that can harm him (like tea that makes him hallucinate ). They still do some back stabbing but overall they are less worse then in canon.

Though any signs abuse from Belos they chalk up to being from missions or reckless.

I think this gives them some fun depth. Like yeah they are all messed up but they are messed up together.

(Sorry if any grammar issues )

Is needing raw meat and blood the only traits hunter has in this AU? or does he have others?

Nope, our boy developed increased senses like better smell, hearing and eyesight. One big difference between Hunter and the other witches is that his ears are constantly moving, detecting every little sound and are more emotive in general. It’s cute if not odd to the other witches.

One clear difference is his teeth. While witches can have fangs, Hunter chompers are absolute killers compared to theirs. His canines jut outwards a bit to stab into his prey and hook his teeth under their skin, making it impossible to escape without causing excessive bleeding. His later incisor and first molar are sharp to tear into meat better. The rest molars are relatively normal if not a bit sharper than usual. He does have an extremely strong jaw that can break through bone, fun when eating jaw breakers but also means if he gets you, he ain’t letting go without at least a piece of you with him.

His biggest differences are in the inside with his digestive system with developing a smaller intestine, colon and cecum making it difficult to get any sort of nutrients from normal food. He found that outside of raw meat and blood, raw eggs and certain dairy products are fairly good. (Fish too but that’s included in meat)

Eyes constricting happened during hunting since it’s a way to protect the eyes if sun is out. Basically the pupil and iris getting really small.(it also makes him look a bit scary)

Their some other grimwalker head canons thrown in here like immunity to the heat like boiling rain and fire, lack of pulse, stone lungs when sleeping, and being able to hold his breathe for a really long time. This is all to build Grimwalkers to be super predators in a way, something for witches to fear. heheh they’re kinda like cats.

Thank you for the ask :33
