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.
Climbing out of my art block bit by bit
OH WOWIE, THIS WAS SO FUN TO READ
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IN SO MUCH THOUGHT HOLY
Yup you pretty much got it all correct! For dual students who have other tracks , the first track determines your sigil
If you switch from one track to only one track like Willow then you get that sigil. So Willow got a plant sigil even if she was originally in abominations because it’s just one track.
BUT
If you switch to two tracks or more, then the original first one is selected even if you dropped it :) like the healing track. Even though it was dropped. Bard and beast-keeping are unfortunately two separate tracks so the original, healing is chosen. So you got it!
I absolutely adore seeing an outsider perspective of this. It really weighs the heartbreak of the situation and just how many people are effected outside of the main characters. The fact that Adults who’ve been in the covens for so long can’t understand that pain of a sigil after multi-tracking is so upsetting ahhhh!
I love this sooo muchh!!!

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
i will prrrrooooobably still do some tweaks, but I'll call it for the night.
I love them your honor
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.
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 doesn’t mean to be. The lack of knowledge to certain social cues and his overall sass can make him seem pretty mean even if he doesn’t mean to be.
I also imagine him being a young emperor coven head (for goodness sake he’s 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 he’s like “oh no, did I do something wrong. Im sorry :(“ 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 aren’t 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, he’s not a robot obviously. But he can defend himself and has others to help him
I also imagine he knows how to “professionally” insult people. Making his insults sound polite or be very passive aggressive. Like. “Just a friendly reminder…” or “we can’t all have winning ideas, we need people like you to help fill the roster” or “There’s no reason to be so humble, it’s quite indifferent” and other things.
Idk theses are just my thoughts as I feel alot of people make him seem idk… weaker I guess or a ‘pure soft boy’. He can be both soft n sweet but still a sassy lil shit. Their must be balance people
been thinking about a scenario where Hunter accidentally acquires a baby brother after the show 🤠
Uuuhhggg I want to do art commissions and maybe open a kofi but I feel the need to come out with more rendered pieces and learn how to draw quicker I feel
Hopefully I can get started around late January next year
