Late Redemption Hunter - Blog Posts

A somewhat old late redemption Hunter sketch. A big part of this Au is the effects of stress on Hunter body, especially post Thanks to Them where he has the survive what’s basically an apocalypse, trying to keep goopy Belos safe. It only gets worst post Watching and dreaming for him (it gets better later) Poor boy is losing hair at alarming rates.

Also a quick explanation for Late redemption, Hunter is raised slightly different and makes different choices which affects the course of canon, hence the name late redemption.

Wanted to ask if you're okay but people using your late redemption au as inspiration for their own works! Totally get it if no!!

Yes! Anyone can do anything with this AU! Fanfics, fanart ect are 100% allowed and wanted! Heck, people can make this AU their own as well if they want!

Do what you want people! :333 Also tag me because I want to see!

Watching and Dreaming, Late Redemption AU

I decided to redo this comic not because I don’t like it but because I believe could do better on the art and story telling of this AU now that I have a better grasp of what I want.

Context, this is a late redemption au of Hunter where certain canon events don’t happen. This is shortly after Belos death. Hunter has his possession scars because it played out in a much different way. Sadly this also means very slow burn pittwins siblings.

Once I have a few more posts a master list will be made in timeline order, so like separate tides to post-canon. Though the story will be nonlinear :3

Next part (coming soon)

A late redemption Hunter post without Hunter!? Not possible!

Anyways rather than going with Hunter in this Au, Flapjack ended up staying with Luz. They aren’t technically bonded since they can’t communicate but Flapjack hangs around and lets her use his staff form but Luz does end up getting stringbean in the future. Most importantly, he lives in the end! As for what happened in Hunting palismen and any relationship development with Hunter, that will come when the time is right :))

Also dual wielding Luz :0

hey, i've seen some of your late redemption hunter stuff, but i don't really want to go looking through your whole blog for every little detail about it. could you give the basic outline of it and some further reading materials? It looks really cool!

Sure! I’ve been planning on making a master list to pin. There isn’t much right now yet, only a few post under the late redemption Au tag so going through it shouldn’t be long but the basics of it is that if Hunter stayed loyal to Belos till his death in watching and dreaming and the events that led it to be that way to what happened after.

Average Late Redemption Hunter and Luz interaction

Did I uses a beserk screenshot as a reference? Mayhaps

Also maybe don’t try to find the angry ex child soldier whose ‘uncle’ you’ve killed on you own, just some advice. Also I realized the angle makes it look like Hunter is kneeling so pretend he was collecting something when Luz found him, I think he’d have a good grasp on potions and stuff considering that was his hexside uniform of choice.

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?

There’s different scenarios but here’s 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 he’s just one person against the whole world.

He placed on trial alongside the other coven heads who weren’t involved in the rebellion (Terra, Adrain, even Kiki, ect) So it’s a pretty messy court case, all of this with all sorts of people being involved like owl house gang, Lilith, the rebellion, coven heads, jury’s, lawyers, judges ect. It’s chaos

He’s 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 didn’t 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 doesn’t help the fact that he’s underage and so heavily sheltered

Eventually he’s let go with the order that he must be under supervision and isn’t allowed to have his artificial staff.

He despises it but slowly but surely starts coming around when he realizes he isn’t 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 isn’t 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.

been rotating your "Defeat" piece in my head like a rotisserie chicken...would you mind if I wrote a lil something inspired by it? with a link back to credit, of course :)

AHHH YES YOU MAY

YALL ARE ALLOWED TO INDULGE IN THIS AU ANYWAY YOU LIKE

Please send me the link to the fic when you done so I can read it!

You said you wanted asks about the Late Redemption AU and !! yes! Wish granted! I am so incredibly curious about Luz's thought process about this scarred-up teenager who's actively hurting her friends. She seems very empathetic still in the post-finale art, but considering he seemingly succeeded in giving her friends sigils in the alternate Labyrinth Hunters art, is there ever a moment where she views him as completely unredeemable? Or is she still insistent that he's just being manipulated and can still be helped?

Thank you so much for the AU, this is such a cool idea and I love it

She definitely has her ups and downs in regards in how she feels on Hunter. In the start she didn’t like him (separate tides- hollow mind). She saw him as another Belos lackey or just a fancy scout. Bad but not evil. Once the sigil incident happened, she absolutely hated him, she was full of anger because he quite literally gave her friends stamps for slaughter(even if he didn’t know). However after King tide happens and she sees Hunter defending Belos even as the spell actively drags him down does she realize just how wrong it is, that he this loyal even when being killed.

He’s being killed by his only guardian and he doesn’t even know it

She tried to reason with him in the fight but he refused to listen, too desperate to stop them from fighting Belos and defending him even as Belos also swipes at him in blind anger. Escpically when she realizes that he’s is around her age and no child should ever be at this state.

I imagine during Thanks to them does she have some conversations with her mom since things are a bit more intense in the timeline and some conversations about abuse and abusive adults does she start making some connections but she still doesn’t quite like him.

Que for the final where Belos is finally gone, all that is left is the Golden guard in his broken, scarred state. She starts seeing the ugly picture for what it is, an abused child who just doing what he knew to make his guardian happy.

So, it’s both. She saw him as an unreadable monster to then someone who was abused and used. She wanted to help him even if she was still mad and he didn’t want it.

Of course once that wonderfully late redemption/recovery arc begins, does an actual friendship start to form.

Was listening to some emo bangers and drew Late Redemption Hunter in the boiling rain lmao

Enjoy edgy art enthusiasts

Funny how music affects everything. Love my pathetic loner child, he would mope in the rain.

Labyrinth Runners Alternative

Me destroying canon relationships dynamics

More rough sketches part of my late redemption Hunter Au (canon divergent)

Hunter was able to take lead in forcing sigils upon the students and succeeded, now the day of unity stakes are higher. Luckily he isn’t like Adrian and at least provided them the matching sigils to their track…the multi-track students are given sigils based on the original chosen classes on record.

Now they will be affected by the draining spell, Hunter is convinced he did something for the greater good and is proud. This will cause so much conflict in the future.

Connected to this and this

Calling this AU late redemption Au for now and works will be tagged as such
