Writing Notes! Boscha is Extremely Petty.

When writing both Boscha present and flashbacks, I wondered for a bit if I was going too hard on her, but she's pretty terrible in canon.

Thinking about the episode where she begins her day by looking in the mirror and saying,

"You are talented. You are a star. You may be hated, so long as you are feared. Most important of all, you are a winner."

A lot of the themes I love in TOH is how showing/having kindness can change hearts ... but there are limits *cough*Belos*cough*.

Boscha hadn't seemed to learn from any of her actions even after she lost Amity (and presumably Skara? I wish we got to see more Skara redemption.)

More below and a POSSIBLE track for the next chapter.

Lemme know if you want any writing notes for the current short side story.

In flashbacks, Hunter ends up winning over a few of his classmates without really trying. Rather he wins them over just by being his regular weirdo self. He's smart, and genuinely happy to (info-dump) talk about all the stuff he is passionate about, especially wild magic, and Flier Derby.

He's also a loyal friend, which endears him to some of his classmates. Unfortunately, his general trauma, mixed with the trauma caused by the constant gaze of the tabloids and the paparazzo drive him further inward, and continue to trigger him in addition to his actual triggers.

Boscha craves power and notoriety. She thrives on fear and is happy to stomp on whomever she considers "weak". While Hunter is NOT actually weak, Boscha sees him as a target for a bunch of reasons. First, Amity willingly chooses to sit with him in potions class, a stark reminder that Amity chose Luz over Boscha herself.

Because Hunter is eager to mix wild magic, something he knows a great deal about into his classwork, he is surpassing her in potions class, which should be Boscha's sweet spot. As Professor Elixiria mentioned in the last flashback, Boscha is very good, but she lacks finesse. She is thinking backward, which Hunter (and Luz) are thinking forward and it is attracting the attention of those Boscha had once held power over.

Then there is Hunter's relationship to Willow both as a boyfriend, and a Teammate on the Emerald Entrails (something that helped her gain confidence and respect.) As well the fact that Skara seems to have left Boscha for this crowd as well.

Then there is the grimwalker stigma.

Technically, Hunter could beat her in combat. Boscha realizes this. But she knows that he wants to put violence behind him, and she's chosen to exploit the things that trigger him as a way to get to punish those who love him. Mainly those Boscha sees as traitors and weaker classmates who are now better liked than she is -- without using fear as a driver.

In the present, when we meet Boscha, she has lost her status as a pro grudgeby player and has taken a tabloid job to professionally bully people. So what better target than those she blames for the downfall of her social status who are living their best lives.

In both present and future, the image of the Golden Guard is deeply upsetting to Hunter, because it represents a lie that was meant to kill him and remind him of a time that he caused harm and didn’t like who he was.
