So I went to the wiki page for the henghill Bullet & Brain mission of 2.2 looking for some dialogue I had missed and
a) I found something incredibly tasty that slotted into some other thoughts I'd been having, more on that on another day, and
b) I saw this super fun little trivia at the bottom, which!
I knew Penacony characters like Boothill took a lot of inspirations from old movies, but I didn't realize it was even in his and Dan Heng's relationship, that's so cool!!
It fits them very well, it's such a fun reference. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was an old buddy Western film (from 1969- nice) about a pair of outlaws. Butch Cassidy was the leader of a gang, and described as clever, affable, and talkative. Meanwhile, his closest companion, the Sundance Kid, was known as a man of few words.
Cassidy's original birth name was much more plain, but similar to Boothill, he took on a new moniker when he became an outlaw. "Cassidy" had been the last name of his beloved mentor, who taught him how to shoot and ride. And Sundance Kid was known as he was because Sundance was the name of his hometown, and it was the only place that had ever managed to catch and jail him, back when he'd been younger (also similar to Dan Heng, but ouch).
These two stick together like glue throughout the length of the film- through Cassidy's leadership of the gang being challenged, through a train robbery gone wrong, through being pursued by mercenaries, and even through fleeing to Bolivia and trying to start over together.
I don't want to say too much more, since the mission title is referencing one specific movie that I've never seen. I kinda wanna watch it now, though, just to see the inspiration that went into Boothill and Dan Heng and how they get along. I just think it's really sweet that these two were literally made to be the best of bros, how lovely is that. 💕

Wait in the Golden feathers au is Hunter actually blind or is Belos just saying stuff in that early post?
Yeah he's blind. In the Hollow Mind post, that's why Luz is describing their surroundings. Darius taught him to read the BI version of braille (while learning himself), so he can read on his own and he's pretty comfortable navigating on his own/fighting because Darius and Eber taught him really well. Darius and Eber keep the layout of their home the same as much as possible + Eber cleans up just for Hunter (if it was just Darius he'd be leaving mud everywhere) but Eda's house (and King) can be a tripping hazard so he walks very slow in there/with a cane. He misses facial expressions/silent cues so that contributes to his Amity Unawareness although they do become friends later. It's a nightmare for him being in a new place without any freedom because yeah, he doesn't know the layout of the castle and he has to rely on the scouts to help him. Hunter has a cane which he uses often when he's on the go at Hexside, the library, or at Grom, but he doesn't have access to it at the castle. He gets a new one in the human realm in addition to Flapjack.
Darius woke Hunter up a week early by pulling him out (like, if you saw a child's hand in the mud you'd be pretty scared too), and Hunter wasn't finished developing. Hunter's a bit smaller in stature than canon Hunter but he's a lot more genuinely confident, having been raised by two very self-assured people. Hunter is a very good flyer, he just has to communicate with Flapjack more.

things i despise abt most of the ow f**base:
most of their ocs suck ass especially when theyre only personality is just being a boring dumb stupid pointless """""""love interest"""""" for a CANONICALLY AROACE character just to get boring clout points on their dumb ugly ass tumblr blog and nothing else and that said ocs are non existent to canon anyways since canon is better lmaoooooo
they spread lies abt their fav series 24/7 for no reason whatsoever
they keep dragging abe into their stupid ass boring dumb oc x canon ships for no reason whatsoever when they completely forgot that abe is nb/aroace and basically goes to show how ppl are just plain stupid in general and downright aph0b1c if u ask me
they overreact over joke posts made on different social sites by the official accounts or whatever for no reason at all
they think part 3 is somehow gonna be """"munchs oddysee 2.0""""" despite the fact that it would be way too cliche and honestly boring if they did that and that munch and stranger are not the main focus of the new quintology as well since its meant to be abt abe specifically and no1 else
one of them treats abe like the """"""overrated mc"""""" of the three protags for no reason at all despite abe being nowhere near overrated and just the user in general being outright dumb
said user is also a living hypocrite as well for liking soulstorm yet hating abe and stranger at the same time for no reason at all other than to be a dumb boring oq/mo purist and nothing more and also missing the entire point of the nq in general
their fanfics are boring af and nothing like canon at all since i refuse to believe that big face is just a """""""regular shaman""""""" at all especially since hes literally the mc in disguise from the future nor do i even believe that sam is abes """"""mother"""""" for all the right reasons since i find that part especially to be pretty suspicious if u ask me which is basically why i dont trust any ow fanfics in general for being absolute ludicriously fake and completely nonexistent cuz i said so
their public server sucks ass with many other boring ass public servers where their f**base is going to be garbage regardless of the subject
they spread more lies to piss me off as well
they tend to fight over which of the 6 games is the """""best""""" when i feel as tho we should treat all of them (except for maybe exoddus cuz of how overrated it is by many nostalgia blind purists who refuse to move on for once and that soulstorm is a billion times better lol) like equals for once and yes that also includes munchs oddysee, new n tasty, and soulstorm as well since speaking from experience i could care less if the gameplay is """"""bad"""""" anyways when its really no big deal to get all mad abt it when u ppl can easily just watch the cutscenes for once and who even cares abt spoilers anyways when it would be sm easier if most ppl proceeded to do that instead of being the absolute miserable boring ppl that they are for once
some of them also care way too much abt exoddus as well since in all honestly exoddus isnt really all that special in the first place when it was never meant to be like that at all since its way too overrated for its own good and that soulstorm is just more engaging than this shit anyways lol
i would like to put more as well but overall i just really fucking despise most ppl in general for spreading misinfo, getting facts wrong, being assholes, not actually enjoying anything for once, and etc so yeah

me on here always: yeah the hewitt-sawyer familys reach and influence across not only newt / austin but across most of texas itself is ridiculously interesting and complex at how many layers and just how far their terror truly reigns, how many people not within the actual family are complacent and turn a blind eye or directly help in their own ways to ensure their own and their familys safety from them etc,
also us now: yeah but what if a layer of that reign and reach is also a cult-following of johnny bc of how alot of his kills are to Send A Message and you have people who see his actions and believe him to be almost Godlike and they start worshipping / following him and the familys values in different ways and begin helping indirectly in order to help their new god and-
