Hello tumblr dot com

It’s my birthday today, and I’m officially 18!

I’ve been working on learning to write recently so I gave it a try and here is my very first fanfic since my roleplaying days of 2020

It’s based off my art piece from a few days ago!!

[hunterwittebone]

Hi I don’t have anything new I’ve been a bit busy but here is a sketch I did the other day

[hunterwittebone]

I’ve been looking at this piece for too long I don’t wanna add more

[hunterwittebone]

Finished my first edit finally and now I’m posting it everywhere

[hunterwittebone]

Woah I wonder who requested this one…

Sneak peek of the one-shot! Also, the playlist!

[hunterwittebone]

Oomf told me to draw molting Flapjack so I had to make it happen

[hunterwittebone]

Your voice rang out and lit the room

But now its always

Dark and oh so quiet

I really wanted to try and mess with the paint options in clip studio for this but also creepy monster Belos because I don’t like him

The eyes ( blue ones ) and mouth were probably my favorite part to do so maybe I’ll have to try painting again it was fun!!

Lovely art! I was wondering if you meant "Angus" or "Agnus"?

Oops! Typo on my part!!

Thanks for letting me know haha but yes I meant Agnus Dei!!

[hunterwittebone]

Agnus Dei

Miserere nobis

The religious trauma was strong

Officially graduated!!

I don’t even know what to say here, it’s been such a long journey and really rough too. I never thought I’d make it past 14 so knowing now that I’m going to be 18 soon, it feels so unreal. Not the biggest fan of this piece but I had to do SOMETHING for graduation. Thank you for everyone who supported me though I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for everyone I think.

Rant about Hunter and Disability in toh!!

One thing that I don’t see talked about often that I find really interesting is Hunter being disabled in the fact he can’t cast magic.

I think that it’s a really important part of Hunter’s character though, and plays a huge part in his isolation and manipulation under Belos. A lot of the world in the boiling isles is centered around magic and the uses they play in the world. This can be seen even in “I was a teenage abomination” because Willow is struggling with her future because of her lack of abomination magic. She gets bullied and teased for her lack of magic, even though she’s strong in plant magic!

This is just one example of how magic plays a huge role in the boiling isles, especially considering the coven system implemented by belos which limits wild magic such as glyphs and palismen.

Because of how much magic is relied on, the lack of magic in the boiling isles is discriminated against and treated as less than people with magic. Which is especially seen early in separate tides, with how Eda can’t find work and gets underpaid because she lost her magic. This plays a huge role in Belos’s manipulation over Hunter because Hunter believes that without magic he won’t be able to have a future, which is why Belos taking him in and “giving” him magic is so important and vital to him.

I do believe that the lack of magic can be a metaphor for a mental disorder, especially since it isn’t possible to tell just by looking at them. In our current world, people with mental disorders often get discriminated against and are affected by their disorder in daily life. I think that wild magic could also be a metaphor for accommodations! With the use of accommodations it makes it possible for those with disorders to be able to work and function more in this world/environment!

Overall, this is something very personal to me, especially since I’m affected daily by my disorders. I do believe that The Owl House did a really good job at representing disability in the show! Please let me know any thoughts or opinions you have, but please be respectful.

You’ll forgive yourself, won’t you HUNTER?

I’ve been watching omori playthroughs again and I forgot how much I love this game ( you’ll never guess where I got the name Sunny from )

Had to draw these two screenshots but combined with Hunter since he takes up all my thoughts..

OG Screenshots!

Really interesting and well written rant! Definitely worth a read

TW: CSA/RAPE TALK

A (positive) mini rant about SA metaphors in TOH:

I hate how quick people are to dismiss any SA headcanon involving Belos as "too evil". It's so nasty and disrespectful to victims of any origin, as well as the victims of the people Belos is based off of and represents clear as day.

Rape is a form of control, of power because you are stripping the victim of their humanity in the most violating way you can.

Remind me again what Belos's entire deal is?

I feel like the possessions is such a crystal clear metaphor for rape in the most blatant way possible, from the way it's start varied between Hunter and Raine, the states they were in during it, to the scars it left on them afterwards.

It's so beyond important that it was presented the way it was too in a Childrens Show, through body horror. Because that's what it is. It's BODY HORROR. It's VIOLENCE. It completely destroys you on the inside and outside.

Especially the way it was presented in Hunter, a child, a person still developing in a body so fragile because of it. It's a perfect visual representation of what CSA to that degree can be like, beyond just being touched at. There are different levels to it, and it's so beyond important to depict these different types in a way that let's kids know they aren't alone, that these feelings afterwards that they can't put words to are in fact, REAL.

Remember, Belos literally ATE HIM from the inside out. He was inside him in the most literal way you can be.

He went in and out of "episodes" of paranoia because of him, because of his ongoing abuse since he was born. This is presented THROUGH the method of possession, it's slow, it's patient, but it's still so extremely violent and body AND mind altering, taking into account how violently his mentality and demeanor switched afterwards, to the point he barely said a thing in the following episodes.

Not to mention usually covering some part of his body with his arms, subconsciously or otherwise.

And Raine.. oh. They make me so sad. Raine is the other most explicit form of CSA victim in the show, starting with Terra when they were a kid. The fact that the scars left behind after being assaulted again so violently in adulthood, by the white man who colonized their people, were tear streaks, makes my heart ache.

Not to mention they were essentially "unconscious" (semi, at least) when Belos first possessed them. And then Belos kept aiming for their mouth over and over again. Even when they fight back, when they verbally scream at him to get out, to leave them alone. It doesn't physicially alter them in the same way it does Hunter, a child, but the end results do not lessen what happened.

Their body was simply done growing by that point. They were not a child when such a violent form of this type of assault happened.

But it happened.

The show is so violent and vile about the nature of it all, it doesn't hide a thing.

But it's all done so well.

It's the horror that it is.

And yet, these things are either demonized in the completely wrong way, or sexualized because the sexual violence towards brown people is so deeply fetishized in every white culture. You as a white victim, do not get to exploit our trauma because of your own in this case.

Because they do not stem from the same place.

It's not like the implications with Belos aren't a pattern either, even way back when he was Philip. It's not something I can put into words, but the way he talks at Luz.. when you've been around those men long enough, you can sense it.

It's not "attraction." It's exploitation.

It's power. It's control.

It's why I don't like drawing anything with him and Luz much.

Not to mention, this pattern is attempted again with the Collector in their sleep, before he resorts to mentally manipulating them instead. Even then, he is actively using another victim to do so.

It is never subtle.

It is never the same with any two characters.

And that's what I love about it.

It's so incredibly important to show these sorts of things in children's shows in the ways they can understand, in ways they can relate to and identify with.

These things are already so confusing and isolating on their own, and the way the writers handled it all is so beautifully well done and respectful. It all fits, it's all well constructed, it's all done with genuine care.
