I just received my fanzine yesterday and thank you, @huntlowfanzine, it looks so amazing!! I��m especially excited to have physical prints from some of my favorite TOH artists.

(What’s this? Is my Huntlow obsession returning?)

Here’s some pictures, featuring a few of my favorites out of the collection!

eh, screw it *releases my fucked up vampire au from the confines of my mind*

anyway I decided my blog is for me and I can draw and post all the weird silly concepts of my dreams and nobody can stop me. I actually have a lot of potential comic ideas ping-ponging in my head for this AU — not a linear story or anything (beyond what's on this post), just some good fun and shenanigans.

Part 2: Therapy. (Part 1 here)

Spending many months in therapy, Hunter has a series of breakthroughs over time: such as being able to face his worst memories without being overwhelmed, coping with crazy levels of survivor's guilt, and asserting a newfound sense of autonomy whenever his inner critic - in the forms of either monster!Belos or possessed Hunter - threatens to overpower him with shame.

One notable breakthrough would have processing the grief over the deaths of the past grimwalkers and what he thought was Belos's love for him. That grief would never entirely go away, but therapy would've helped him integrate it, release a significant fraction of Belos's hold over him (represented here by Hunter finding a small carving knife to cut the blue string, then letting the ocean current take the Golden Guard mask away).

My h/c is that the only way he can even be open to the possibility of carving his own new palisman, making room in his heart for Waffles after what happened to Flapjack, is by reaching this particular breakthrough.

I'll probably reblog this repeatedly over time and add trivia and notes since these ideas definitely have parallels to scenes in the show.

Anyway, that's it for my rambling for this year's Watching and Dreaming anniversary!

Part 2 of 2 (link to Part 1 here)

Some extra notes:

I was thinking, he'd be easily triggered if he touches any palismen after the finale battle, terrified of harming them. It'd be a parallel to this:

whereby there's no more Belos, but if something sets him off, he would have that spooky trauma experience of feeling like Belos could actually still be there, controlling him and getting him to hurt others. Imagine what a hurdle this would be, even before he can be mentored by Dell to learn how to carve new palismen.

The nightmares would be frequent in these early weeks. Sometimes Stringbean has a mind of her own and does her own thing around the house, at odd hours on some days. But Hunter has a little breakthrough in my edits here, where he's able to touch Stringbean and carry her upstairs, since this isn't the first time she has appeared to wake him from a nightmare. They find Camila in the kitchen, who says she also can't sleep.

In the first pic, Stringbean just squeaked and he's muttering (out loud) to her about what he remembers from the nightmare: that he saw himself in his old uniform...and then he looked down and saw that his hand was Belos's clawed hand.

@childlikegoblinqueen was telling me how when Hunter first petted Flapjack, he was slightly too rough (ugh, the foreshadowing...) but adjusted to be gentle pretty quickly. But now, Hunter would imagine that he’s unable of being that gentle ever again, since he hurt Flapjack as badly as he did while being possessed. That's where the therapy sessions would have to come in.

The ideas for this scene are also inspired by some headcanons:

this Stringbean-related post (link) by @drabbles-of-writing

a Camila-related post (link) by @kraviolis, specifically about Luz leaving Stringbean with Camila at times while she spends time in the Boiling Isles
