people being like "hunter needs structure and stability" respectfully hunter DOES need stability - in that he needs an environment where he's no longer afraid of the people around him & is confident that he'll always have a safe place to stay n safe people to call - but the kid absolutely DOES NOT need structure. if anything hunter needs LESS structure. this is mister "teens are probably into the same things as me, like authority and rules" please be nice to him.
my absolute favorite hunter darius dynamic is one with like, hunter asking to stay out late on a school night or whatever bc luz has some cool-as-shit event happening in the human world that he wants to attend & darius is just like "you can do whatever you want forever" & hunter's like "aren't you...??? going to....??? give me a curfew????"
darius: why would you need a curfew?
hunter: because i-! what if i'm TIRED before SCHOOL
darius: then you can skip a day.
hunter: [HORRIFIED GASP]
darius: kid. look. you already extensively weighed the risks and benefits of going to this thing on a school night. right?
hunter: ......i did make three charts.
darius: and you determined that the benefits outweigh the risks. with your three charts
hunter: .....yes
darius: ok.
hunter:
darius: so.
hunter:
darius: in conclusion. you can do whatever you want forever.

something something one of the reasons Nero went out of his way to stop the shit twins from killing eachother on the top of the Qliphoth - besides not wanting to lose his family 5 minutes after discovering them - being that he didn't want Dante to lose his brother like he lost Credo all those years ago
So you know how siblings will just point at things or animals and turn to their siblings to say “that’s you”?
Yeah, I fully see the Bad Batch doing that, but I also have no idea what objects or animals they would point to and who they would hit with the “that’s you”.
I like thinking about young adult hunlow falling into a timepool and getting thrown back 4-5 years. They end up stumbling upon a younger Willow, who has not yet met Luz (or Hunter for that matter) and they try to lie to her but she figures it out because she is a clever little thing.
"Excuse me Miss Future Willow, is that--"
"I already told you I'm not you from the future. Stop saying that."
"Yes you are. I know you're lying because you're me and I'm also bad at lying. Now is....[discreetly points at Hunter who is standing a distance away] is he our boyfriend?"
"......Nnnnooooo....?"
"[tiny gasp] He is our boyfriend....[sparkly eyes]"
Erin Hunters: Squirrelflight needs someone who doesn't contain her fire, but match it!
Also them: *Write Brambleclaw/star constantly trying to smother her 'fire'* *Writes her having normal opinions and a sense of self and ability to think for herself and then villainizing her for it by making it seem like she's argumentative and stubborn which isn't even a bad thing but go off I guess.*
It's been hours and I'm still giddy over the fact that the Bad Batch got to raise Omega in peace. Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair got to stop running. The remaining original members of Clone Force 99 were able to heal together and start a new life in this little corner of the universe they carved out for themselves with their little sister. And that's so beautiful.

I don’t consider this au so much as me just condensing the story to fit into a 1-minute song clip, but also at this point in the show pretty much any wittebros fan content is inherently au so sdgsfghs. REGARDLESS, generally assume that the amount of time implied by canon passes between events in this animatic (i.e. between Caleb leaving and Philip stabbing him)
I made this thing in a straight shot between the hours of 7:30pm and 3:30am. It is not intended to be a masterpiece. That said, enjoy the pain :)
