i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps š„° but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?

In terms of the belos saying "I love you" I feel like he said it once and exactly once, and it was the day he was sworn in as the guard but he didn't mean it to Hunter, he meant it to the mask, this was done so that Hunter would only want to be the guard
OUCH
Belos saying āI love youā but only to the symbol and Hunter mistaking it for him. How happy Hunter would be at the words while Belos doesnāt even acknowledge it.
To me, I never saw Belos saying ā I love you.ā He only ever loved the idea of the Golden Guard or the perfect replacement but never actually loved it in execution if you get what I mean. He seems more like the type to say āThe Titan blessed me with a nephew.ā or āappreciate your presenceā or some flowery crap like that.
In the drawing it was Hunter grabbing onto Belos and saying āI love youā because the poor child is desperate and exhausted while Belos stands there surprised and doesnāt hug him back.
Though now Iām imagining a BoJack Horseman ICU moment where Hunter is talking to his friends and realizes Belos never said āI love youā to him but to the mask.
Iāve read that fic! While I do believe Hunter would be sophisticated with his insults, a part of me thinks he insults people Invader zim style. Like oddly specific and crude lol
I feel like we need to remember that Hunter was treated like an adult and was around adults his whole life. Not just any adults but adults in the emperors coven and coven heads themselves. Who are shown to be, to put it nicely, catty. In result, Hunter himself can be very catty even if he doesnāt mean to be. The lack of knowledge to certain social cues and his overall sass can make him seem pretty mean even if he doesnāt mean to be.
I also imagine him being a young emperor coven head (for goodness sake heās 16 and already the golden guard when we meet him) he was frequently the butt of the joke among other coven heads. So of course he needed to be just as harsh back to not let himself put down like that.
Like the hexsquad will be messing with each other for fun as friends do and he will just insult them and their whole existence and when the others tell him like bro that enough heās like āoh no, did I do something wrong. Im sorry :(ā and the other have show him a difference between a joke and insult and the limits to a joke. He quickly learns and is understanding of course cause he does genuinely love his friends.
However with that being said, when he does start attending Hexside like he said he was he runs into some issues. For starters, I imagine him being ex golden guard and being a bit different (obvious scarring, weird personality, etc) many arenāt very kind to him. But what makes him hard to bully is that he can easily rebuttal back and do it meaner. He was surrounded by rude, powerful adults, he can handle some measly rude teens easily. Of course he still does get emotionally effected, heās not a robot obviously. But he can defend himself and has others to help him
I also imagine he knows how to āprofessionallyā insult people. Making his insults sound polite or be very passive aggressive. Like. āJust a friendly reminderā¦ā or āwe canāt all have winning ideas, we need people like you to help fill the rosterā or āThereās no reason to be so humble, itās quite indifferentā and other things.
Idk theses are just my thoughts as a feel all lot of people make him seem idk⦠weaker I guess or a āpure soft boyā. He can be both soft n sweet but still a sassy lil shit. Their must be balance people
Question about your late redemption arc Hunter, how did the redemption of his finally started? Did they just capture him for it to start or did he came to them on his own?
Also I love all your aus and headcanons of Hunter! Have you ever thought about writing a fic about your late redemption Hunter?
Thereās different scenarios but hereās what I put in regards of how this would play out post watching and dreaming.
After the death of Belos he would be the run for a bit but unfortunately thats pretty difficult when the most of the BI thinks you where a accomplice in mass genocide. He eventually get captured because in the end to the day heās just one person against the whole world.
He placed on trial alongside the other coven heads who werenāt involved in the rebellion (Terra, Adrain, even Kiki, ect) So itās a pretty messy court case, all of this with all sorts of people being involved like owl house gang, Lilith, the rebellion, coven heads, juryās, lawyers, judges ect. Itās chaos
Heās able to hold up a bit, being decently versed in law and politics but crumbles when theres just too many accusations and heavy charges dropped on him for things he didnāt even do. (Like attempted genocide) Since people are essentially trying punish him for Belos crimes. Thankfully he does have people defending him in the form of the rebellion and owl gang where apparent abuse in revealed. Luz advocated and got the others to do so. It doesnāt help the fact that heās underage and so heavily sheltered
Eventually heās let go with the order that he must be under supervision and isnāt allowed to have his artificial staff.
He despises it but slowly but surely starts coming around when he realizes he isnāt a prisoner and from there he builds bonds with different characters like Luz and flapjack (who lives)
So he was kinda forcefully adopted by the owl gang
Of course this isnāt set in stone and can change as this story is still being fleshed out but court room fics are a weakness of mine,
Also, thank you! I just write and draw whatever comes to my head!
As for me writing a story, I already have some outlines and rough drafts! My biggest issue would be committing to it lol but I do have high hopes for this AU.
These head canons focus on Hunter home life. They next one will focus on Hunter life in Gravefield in general.
After the finale I imagine Hunter actually staying in the Human realm for bit since things would be pretty chaotic in the demon realm. Especially regarding the Emperors coven. Realistically I canāt imagine many witches or demons happy with the ex Golden Guard, Belos right hand man walking around freely, especially with emotions running high. You know almost being killed then having the collector take over, then almost being killed again.
Just imagine all the legal and ethic issues, (will get to this another time)
Camila basically being Hunterās mom now. I personally donāt think Darius should be Hunter parental figure. I think Hunter should be with someone who hasnāt harmed him, especially after years of trauma and another major traumatic experience happening to him (looking at you Thanks to them). Hunter can reconnect and be friends with Darius another time. I also think Darius would be more focused fixing the demon realm then accommodate Hunters needs. Right now Hunter needs a guardian that will give him what he needs.
Anyways
Once hunter moves into the Human realm, I imagine Vee staying with him in the basement for a while since heās afraid of being alone. (Everyone is scared of leaving him alone too). I imagine they develop a close bond with each other, different from how they bond with others, since they are both basically Belos, abused, illegal creations. After awhile they trust him to be alone.
Luz often stays at the demon realm and on those nights, Vee and Hunter swap rooms. Vee liking the basement due to how open it is and Hunter liking to smaller room. I imagine Hunter liking cramped, smaller spaces like closets due to how open the throne room was. Vee liking open spaces due to being forced into cages. Vee probably also constantly keeps doors open and probably showers with the door open too. (Might do some Vee head canons too!)
Mirrors had to be covered for a bit due to Hunter being unable to stand the sight of himself again. They teach him how to love himself again like how he did in āThanks to themā. Though they do sometimes catch him staring deeply at his scars or brown eyes.
Him a Vee are often spotted hanging out with each other, with Vee often leaning on Hunter. When on the couch sheāll rest on him or lay her head on his lap. In return, during the sleep overs, Vee will curl around Hunter. I imagine Hunter being both a big and little spoon.
Hunter often goes to bed with Camila on bad nights. After all he never received that comfort before in the castle. Heās hesitant at first due to being ātoo oldā to be resting with an adult. Camila insist that no one is to big for their moms. Hunter definitely doesnāt cry at this.
Different bonding stuff with Hunter Noceda :)
We all know that Darius taught Hunter to sew properly and it ended up becoming a hobby of his. Camila sees this a teaches Hunter to knit as well. Soon Hunter is knitting all sorts of things like beanies, sweaters, bags, etc. Hunter learns other crafts like crocheting, embroidery, weaving, ect. That boy is very crafty.
Camila shows that Hunter doesnāt just need to sew cloths but that he can also sew things like stuff animals, clothes for animals, and other neat stuff. He quickly becomes obsessed with making clothes and accessories for Palismen
Hunter starts volunteering at the Vet clinic and animal shelter with Vee and Camila and quickly realizes he has a bit of a affinity with Animals..
Hunter and Vee both like watching TV and bond together that way. They both like horror due to them being a bit desensitized but wonāt watch films that focus on torture (saw sequels, hostel,ect) but they do like 90s and 80s horror. However they stoped watching Horror that has to due with possession after the āincident.ā They also like comedies though Hunter gets confused by the jokes and Vee has to explain it to him (even if she also doesnāt understand, she tries).
Hunter and Camila bond with 70ļæ¼s and 80s punk rock music. Bands like Green Day, Sex Pistols, Misfits,ect. Luz introduces him to the world of fandom music like FNAF or BATIM and he quickly becomes hooked. Also vocaloid. Vee likes metal and shows him all sorts of genres and songs, from alternative metal like Korn and System of the down to death metal like Cannibal corpse and Carcass. He prefers Punk but will happily listen to the music with her.
Hunter manages to drag Camila back into her Cosmic Frontier addiction.
They all go to cons together! Comic con, Anime con, sci fi con, ect. They do family cosplays!
Luz and Hunter draw together. Luz is surprised to see Hunter can actually sketch pretty good. He isnāt very good with fine details or color but he drew stuff in journals relating to wild magic, flapjack, Belos and battle plans. He good at sketching buildings, beasts, and plants. He can draw witches forms real good but struggles in finer details like faces, clothes, ect. Unlike luzās character heavy art. While luz draws with pencils, markers, color pencils, and acrylic paints. Hunter is a charcoal, ink, and color pencil and water color type if guy. He draws a lot of animals, especially wolves. He makes to many wolf ocās. He has folders full of drawings and extensive lore on them. Luz teaches him how to make drawings expressive, in return he teaches her how to draw buildings. They make collaborative art with Hunter doing the backgrounds and Luz adding characters.
Luz gets hunter hooked on Warrior cats and Balto.
Luz and Hunter exercise together. Or at least try to. Luz as she got used to an active life style in the boiling isles and Hunter due to being used to vigorous training. However this oftentimes turned into āHunter basically torturing Luzā session as he can be intense. Like getting up at 5:30 am and being like āyou wanna run 6 miles with meā or ālets do 20 circuitsā. Luz at first tries keeping up at first in disbelief before noticing Hunter also tends to overwork himself during these sessions. After a while she and the others convince him he doesnāt need to due all this, especially if itās hurting him. Soon he starts waking up at 6:20 am and works out in a easier way to maintain. He and Luz are now able to go on comfortable jogs and hikes together.
Luz teaches Hunter and Vee how to ride bikes after realizing neither of them could. Hunter takes his bike safely very seriously.
Camila teaches Hunter to drive and he gets very excited as itās like flying a ship. The whole family often go on drives together and blast on music.
Hunter becomes a history nerd with both Human history from do research on Gravefield and the Demon realm after him and Lilith discover historical text that Belos hid away. Hunter learns more about the history of Grimwalkers rather then just the biology and myths. (Spoiler alert, itās not a very happy, will dive into it). He tells Lilith a lot about Human realm history. They slowly become friends through info dumping.
Hunter learning how to cook with Camila. He makes food for his friends and family! Heās decent at first, after all this guy definitely had survival training. He probably knows how to gut and skin certain beasts. Likely offered to do it for Camila when she talked about needing to buy food. She kindly declined his offer.
Hunter loves Camilaās cooking, he never had such homemade meals. He often had MREās or fancy cooked meals when attending dinner with Belos sometimes. Those were hit or miss. Sometimes going great or sometimes ending with him being poisoned or abused in some sort of way. When Luz says she wants fast food, Hunter is like āwhy? Mo- Camilas food is so goodā. He loves his mamas cooking
Hunter making stuff animals infused with herbs and flowers (like lavender) and potions for calming effects. He makes them for his family and friends. He even starts selling some in the demon realm when tensions calm down.
Thatās if for now lol. Sorry for any spelling or grammar issues Iāll edit this in the future.
Rough concept sketch
I surprised that I havenāt seen much Shadow and Maddie stuff considering it brings in a potentially interesting dynamic of Vet/loving parent and Ex-lab animal/traumatized child. Iām definitely going to be exploring this concept further in the future cause Iām obsessed.
Shadow also swaying side to side a bit because his body is stressed from being captive for 50 years.
hello! out of curiosity, would it be possible for a witch with healing magic to let Hunter, i donāt know, bite a part of their hand off, and then just regenerate it with their magic? iām not sure if that would defeat the plot of the au as Hunter would freely be able to chomp on someone, haha!
.
Actually they can! However itās incredibly limiting. This method would only allow Hunter to get surface level meat. He also need organs, deep tissue, bone, ect. Also while healing magic can do all sorts of wonders and Iām sure could regenerate limbs and flesh depending on how talented the healer is. I doubt they would find someone genuine thatās would be willing to do such a thing and at a frequent rate, especially when he starts eating more and actually developing healthy eating habits. Iām sure one of his family members would be happy to do this but Hunter would never allow it. Id imagine it also be a much longer medical procedure than him simply being able to bite chunks out since that would literally him mutilating someone alive lol, even with the help of numbing or pain relief potions.
The amount of food shown would have been perfect for Hunter a few years ago but now with lots of love and healthy habits being put upon him, itās no longer sustainable. But what healing witches can provide is blood!
Blood is a good alternative for when heās unable to have meat so Iād imagine heād be pretty stocked up on it. He gets frequent refills on blood, itās also slightly more socially acceptable to have as Iād imagine blood being a regular part of some demons and those suffering from vampirism diets. Iād think most people would assume Hunter is a vampire if they donāt know about the grimwalker situation. So he takes blood bags with him on the go as food.
Of course he needs actual food and lots of it as heās pretty malnourished and has lots of catching up to do. As well as developing healthy eating habits.
He eventually gets a pass that allows him to eat bits of bodies that arenāt being used, that where donated. So if a bunch of healer students are dissecting a cadaver, Hunter is cleanup. Or if organs are given for a transplant, Hunter could eat what wasnāt used. Obviously this disturbs Hunter but itās better than going feral and attacking people. Of course it was a bit difficult to obtain pass but with the right strings pulled and some light threats, he was able to get it.
All these images are post canon in the Au. For the amount of pain and suffering inflected upon Hunter for the majority of this Au, I do want him to have a happy ending. While there are tragic alternatives, him having a happy ending was always my intention. While it be more difficult to reach than in canon, he gets there eventually :3
(Feel free to ask some questions but do note it may take a bit of time to answer, I already have some questions waiting rn lol)
This was more accurate then I thought it would be
I have so many questions⦠why is he dying? What is the context? What is the things they are putting on his mouth? Why is he foaming?

I love that 3 times you've drawn blorbo Hunter eating pancakes and so im headcanoning that the reason is because the first time he saw a normal size pancake he just faceplanted in it as he ate and so Camila started making smaller pancakes just for him, I love him so much
Yes that is canon. He's just a silly little guy :)
They're still very large pancakes compared to his size because it's hard to make smaller ones without ruining the texture (though I'm sure he wouldn't really care about that) and Camila will only allow him the highest quality of pancakes
Also yeah I did just notice I almost always draw him with pancakes lmao that's funny
Luz thinking that her friends are gonna hate her for accidentally helping Belos is really really funny when you remember that Hunter 'War Crimes' Wittebane is right there and has been adopted into the found family.
