I am manifesting Hunter as Dell aprentice at the end of watching and dreaming

[shortprince-cos]

A sneak peek at my next multi chapter fic because im excited and need motivation to finish it!

~~~~~

"Uh... Yeah." He said awkwardly, trying to figure out the best plan of action to get out of here. "Speaking of which, I should probably get back to Hexside anyway. I really have to, uh... check on my friends." Nice.

"Hold on, there." Dell said before Hunter could even try to get up. "You can't leave until a healer comes to make sure your head is okay, but it'll probably be awhile until they get here."

"I'm sure I'm fine." Hunter retorted, sitting up a little. "I can take care of myself, I've done it my whole life."

The man frowned. "Well, even if I trusted that you'd be okay on your own, its impossible for you to leave right now."

Hunter started to get nervous when he said that, fidgeting slightly. "What do you mean?"

"Its raining right now, and probably will be until tomorrow, so you can't exactly go anywhere anyway."

"Oh." Hunter said flatly. Being stuck here until tomorrow wasn't ideal, but at least this 'Dell' wasn't keeping him here for nefarious reasons. At least, he didn't think he was, but you could never be too sure. Hunter made a mental note to always be on guard here.

"But, if you need to contact your friends or family, I have a crowphone you can borrow. Unless you have one of those, uh, Pen-Grams that all the kids have nowadays."

The teen was pretty sure that it wasn't pronounced like that, but to be honest he didn't know enough about the device Darius had gifted to him in the first place, so he didn't want to correct him.

Unfortunately, he realized he didn't have either of the communication devices, as his crowphone was still in his room at the castle, and he had no idea where his scroll went. He probably dropped it at some point during the battle or when he was fleeing the scene. If he had magic he could just summon it, but that was a no-go for obvious reasons.

Darius would probably be disappointed if he found out Hunter had lost it, he thought with a grimace. He'd have to apologize if he saw the headwitch again later.

"Oh. Thanks, but..." Hunter pondered for a moment. Did he even have anyone to call? Maybe his friends Willow or Gus? Would they care? The Owl Lady? Ehh. Luz? She was probably dealing with a lot. The Blights? Principal Bump? Darius?

"...I don't have anyone to call." He finished solemnly, looking down at the snuggley bird in his lap.

The room was silent for a moment, though it felt like years. The words Hunter had muttered hung thick in the air, like they were suffocating him.

"...You sure?" Dell asked, and Hunter could feel the man's eyes boring into him, like he was looking for something that the boy could provide.

Hunter continued to avert his gaze. "I'm sure." His voice cracked. Titan, he sounded so... weak. And pitiful. Why couldn't he just pull it together? He can't show weakness in front of this man. He just can't.

He could hear the elder sigh. "Alright. Since the healer won't be here until tomorrow, how about you get cleaned up while I go make dinner?"

~~~~~

It might change in the future cause idk what happens in the next episode obviously, but after that I'll fix whatevers not right and continue working on this!

It'll probably be a long while until it's finished since I don't really have an ending planned, but I figured you'd all like to see anyway! Lmk if you liked this!

The healing and lasting love of a mom

[dazeddoodles]

I reckon when Eda was a kid she'd position her bushy hair over her face and say, "Look Dad! I've grown a beard like you!" and Dell would be all 😭

That's so cute, Eda was definitely a Daddy's Girl!

[cookiesaddict]

Hunter is really going to be Dells successor and take over the Clawthorne trade of carving palisman, isn’t he?

[jaxk-ass]

I like to think that this happened sometime after the events of wad

[soupwalker]

dumb joke incoming!! anyways I could not get this idea out of my mind so now you get it in a low quality post

[idoodlestuffsometimes]

[Image ID: A monochrome warm, green image of Hunter, Dell, and Caleb from the Owl House Brother's Keeper AU. They're sitting in a semicircle on stools, all holding whittling knives and unfinished wood carvings. Hunter is grown up and wearing his post series button up and apron. Caleb has short hair, overalls, and a peg leg. Hunter is gesturing, talking while Caleb laughs, and Dell listens with a smile. /End ID]

The boys having a good post series! :) I have conflicted feelings on the finale but at least it didn't mess up any of my plans for this au. In fact it canonized some of my end game ;)

[teartra]

Okay but the fact that Hunter got adopted by Dell and Gwendolyn is very poetic

Hunter never had a real parental figure before

Dell and Gwendolyn have Lilith and Eda but didn’t get a chance to see both of their daughters grow up due to the curse. In a way, having Hunter as their son feels like a second chance for them

Also, annoying little brother Hunter to Lilith and Eda

clawthorne family features 🦉

[captainmera]

have you ever noticed that younger dell looks quite a bit like 20-30s Philip

Really???

Then you're seeing things I'm not :O I do think he looks more like Caleb though.

I do think they all look related!

I will say though, that the fact time pools exists lives rent free in my head and once in awhile I have to shove the theory-goblin away that Dell is Caleb and Evelyn's son. Or grandson.

If Evelyn, like, is actually from the future and went back in the past, met Caleb, then ran back to the future after he died. And that's why Philip never got a chance to eliminate either of Evelyn or her child.

BECAUSE I STRUGGLE, Y'KNOW?? TO IMAGINE HE WOULDN'T AT LEAST TRY KILL'EM BOTH.

And I hush, hush, hush that little theory gobblin back to sleep.

BUT THEN AGAIN.. WHY BRING UP THE TIME POOLS IF NOT TO HAVE THEM BE IMPORTANT AGAIN. ARE THEY REALLY JUST IMPORTANT FOR THAT ONE INCIDENT BETWEEN LUZ AND PHILIP? IS THAT ALL?? IT'S JUST.. NO MORE?

BECAUSE THERE'S A STORYBOARD THAT GOT SCRAPPED...

LIKE SURE, IT'S A LADY GRANDMA... So maybe Dell's mum was Evelyn and Caleb's daughter that-- and the time pools-- and that's how- you know??? YOU KNOW???

ol<

Shhh little theory gobblin, go to sleep.

[probablyhuntersmom]

Happy Anniversary, guys!

[astrolavas]

random Hunter headcanon GO!

AHH OKAY one of my random hcs is that hunter's smile is kinda asymmetrical/lopsided/wider on the left side cuz of his scars, especially after thanks to them. i imagine they'd significantly pull on his skin and could even affect nerves and definitely some range of motion, so-

sorta like this:
