Coming out as a Sonadow shipper
They make me insane
Warm up sketches for tonight
Finally doing a complete piece after centuries. WIP
Still a bit wonky in some places but I’ll fix that
Realizing how much your Ghoul AU Hunter would break after flapjacks death, that boy will go through so much and probably think he is truly a monster for a long while into probably the first few months post WaD
Mwhehheehhe, enjoy this rendered sketch :3
How Hunter survived possession in this version, poor flapjack got caught in some crossfire, the shock of it forced Belos out (Belos , who already wanted out since he the bloodlust and painful hunger was too much)
Yup, my boy can fit so much much self-hatred
People who think Huntlow is edgy sad boy x sweet girl do not get it. Willow is a fucking menace. She's a gremlin. She's not the mom friend she goes "I can show you all the plants you shouldn't touch, and how to touch them!" She's COMPARATIVELY normal next to the rest of the group. She's a lil unhinged too. It is not sweet girl and edgy sweet boy. It is teasing gremlin and snarky depressed but very sweet guy. People who write the ship as Willow being the kind ever patient therapist do not get it. They are so weird about each other. She pulled him out of the fucking sky to join a sports team. They get up to so many shenanigans once Hunters out of the scared jittery cat phase. They're going to be absolute menaces together.
“But he’s really just brat” shoot, I’d be a brat too if I had to wear that. Bro was perpetually in bad mode cuz he’s over heating lol.
A continuation of me imagine how the hell does the golden guard uniform works. I watched a total of 6 videos about knights armor and this glorious post for reference and ho boy, there are a lot of straps and ribbons.
Fun little MLP Au
Hunter as a pony!
So basically, everybody in the human realm are earth ponies. While in the boiling isles realm they are unicorns or Pegasus. Human realm ponies look like normal ponies while the ponies in the boiling isles look more like the last unicorn styled ponies with, longer ears, “rat tails” , and split hooves.
Both realms can get cuties marks. However, cutie marks are looked down upon in the boiling isles as you are expected to have a sigil instead. If a pony has a cutie mark it’s typically covered by the sigil. If you refuse to get a sigil it’s considered disobeying the Titan and emperor like in canon. Leaving your cutie mark be is a sign of a wild pony. Eda still has her natural cutie mark. Sigils like in canon restrict the type of magic that can be used.
Unicorns and Pegasus both use magic since magic comes form the bile sac into the horn or wings. Though unicorn magic tends to be more precise while Pegasus magic is loose. Unicorns can practice levitation or flying spells and Pegasus practice precision
Palismen act as magic aids and instead of turning into staff, they wrap around the horns and wings, they can summon fake wings or horns for their user and help unlock magic they may be limited to. Which is why they are looked down upon though many ponies can still have them like in canon.
Hunter despite having all the characteristics of boiling isles pony ( longer ears, rat tail, split hooves ) was made without a horn or wings as he made from a human realm pony/ earth pony. He was told this was a birth defect by Belos. So his artificial staff is instead his artificial horn which also has a concealment stone attached to make him more imposing and hide scarring.
Belos presents himself as a alicorn
Luz doesn’t have a cutie make and spends canon trying get it while also learning magic. She gets it by the end of the series of course. Many characters have cutie marks like Amity and Gus but it’s fine since their still young but are expected to conceal it once they choose a coven.
Golden guard ver
Hunter his whole life has done something guard related. From training to be a scout which are essentially foot guards to the highest ranking guard, the golden guard. He wasn’t just trained to guard he was raised guarding. It’s something he does thats probably second nature for him.
With that being said I truly believe he will continue being a guard to everyone he cares about even if it’s no longer his job and even if he barley knows that person. (gus and luz for example in labyrinth runners and hunting palismen ) It’s ingrained in him the same way sheep dogs will heard humans because it’s what they know.
So I imagine hunter instinctively standing up in front of the hexsquad unconsciously guarding. Even if they are simply hanging out. They ask him about it and he admits he does it without even noticing.
Of course a lot of these behaviors stem from PTSD like him being hyper vigilante and being prepared to defend from any possible attack but even in moments he knows he safe he’s always watching making sure they don’t get hurt by something little like falling and making sure their all secure. He’s not even violent just defensive.
He keeps them organized even if can’t keep himself organized, he becomes aware of their mannerism in a objective way, he guides them. They basically become his herd in way.
Even if Luz could be seen being the ‘leader’, Hunter is always next to her ever so slightly in front, like a guard.
Luz is also protective but that’s a habit she developed while again for Hunter it’s ingrained.
It’s quite cute actually if you ignore his past, him being a protective friend willing to defend the people he cares about no matter what.
In short Hunter got that Doberman/collie instinct in him lol
Any who, love me a protective Hunter
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.
