#in terms of what happened in separate tides and giving palisman to belos and what happened at eclipse lake and any sport in a storm

Sometimes I remember how everyone acted about Lilith and I get so mad. Lol.

Hunter Noceda AU: Venance

(can't digitalize these rn so you'll get the sketches for now)

So yeah, Golden Guard version two!

When Belos does find out about Hunter in YBOS, Hunter gets the bomb dropped about them being related (idk how yet). but Hunter obviously doesn’t believe in it. Until Hunting Palismen comes around and they find this small thingy, Venance.

(thank you @bernardo-draws-and-cries​​ for the name. Its based on the name Venâncio, which means “the one who hunts”)

He is another grimwalker made by Belos, he’s 12 (yeah.) and way more stressed (Belos has gotten more iron fisted after losing Hunter). Someone save this poor child

- He’s just starting out as the Golden Guard (and he’s not a coven head. Kikimora is. And she still wants him dead too), he’s still getting the hang of it. He does act tough and serious, way more serious than canon GG/Hunter, no space for goofyness.

- So yeah, a duo Hunting Palismen thing would be fun. Haven’t sorted out everything here but I do think Hunter would also go with Luz because of no palisman reasons. And he hasn’t met Ven yet, he only heard Lilith talking about him and Luz and Eda dealing with him on Separate Tides (he was busy drowning in guilt and trying to help with the money situation in other ways), so when he meets Ven and when he sees his face and how similar they are (and how many scars that kid already has), he’s reasonably confused/upset, like “Oh, that creepy man wasn’t lying. This doesn’t make anything on this situation better”

- After the initial surprise/confusion, Luz and Hunter jokingly call him Ghaterer until they learn his name, then they start calling him Ven. At first Ven hates this nickname but ends up reluctantly accepting it.

- Even before Eclipse Lake he’s so scared about being replaced, and knowing about Hunter’s existence in the Boiling Isles makes it worse, now he’s super sure he isn’t as valuable to Belos anymore. So he hates Hunter

- Hunter: come here youre part of the found family now

Ven: NO

Hunter: too late *picks him up*

Hunter: If Luz taught me something is that if you didn’t want to get assimilated into my found family, you should have killed me when you had the chance

Yeah that’s their dynamic when Hunter learns a bit more about him

- Venance doesn’t have much respect as the Golden Guard yet. He’s small (like, maybe even less than 1,50m/4′11″), young, has just been starting out on this role, like, in the last few months, could easily be picked up like a kitty, so he has to fight quite a bit to be taken seriously. Which results on him being way more grumpy and short tempered

- So he doesn’t take it very well when hes made fun of by the scouts in Latissa. Not at all

- Hunter, who was joking around until then:…are you okay?

Ven: I AM! *barely holding the tears back*

Hunter:

Hunter: that’s it youre part of the family now

Ven: you can’t do that

Hunter: we’re two and you’re one, we have your staff and youre very light.

(he still would put up a fight, and it would take a while for it to end. And he bites hard, he has very sharp fangs)

- Scouts: Go home with your sibiling

Hunter: *oh. Oh yeah i forgot we have the same freaking face*

- They don’t know yet about the grimwalker thing. Well, maybe Ven discovers later but at the moment where Hunting Palismen happens, neither of them know anything besides them being related, Ven got told he is his brother, and that Hunter was taken away from the coven before he was born

- Rascal seeing Hunter: hey you’re cool, i kinda want to be your palisman

Rascal seeing Ven: oh heck this kid needs help 

- I’m not sure if Hunter gets Lil Rascal. Because on one side, would be fun for him to have Lil Rascal and train doing magic like this, but also could be good for Ven to have some small support back at home, like how they are to Hunter in canon. So this hasn’t been decided yet. Hunter could either get Lil Rascal and Ven doesn’t get a palisman/gets a blue jay palisman, or Ven gets Lil Rascal and Hunter comes back also empty handed

- So I’m going with the no palisman for Hunter route for now. 

- It’s a bitter moment for both him and Luz. He tries to convince her that it’s okay, that they’ll get theirs soon, but she still kinda feels like a failure about this. And he himself thinks it’s because they don’t have a magic bile sac, so it’s not a good time for them. Eda and King lift their spirits a bit about this, though.

- Either by peeking around or just flat out being told, Ven does learn about him (and Hunter) being grimwalkers. What does he do with that? He has a crisis about it, which raises even more the stakes for him in Eclipse Lake. He still wouldn’t know his purpose for the Day of Unity, but he would know that he was created for it and could lose his position if he didn’t prove himself worthy of it.

- He would explode at Hunter one day and end up telling the truth about them being Grimwalkers (after Eclipse Lake)

- Ven: Do you want to know what you really are?! You’re a clone! You’re just someone’s clone just like me! A replacement!

Hunter, trying to not freak out but freaking out anyways: ...are you okay?

Ven; WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- If Belos is searching for Hunter, on the grounds of him being a more mature grimwalker than Venance, Ven could end up resorting to sabotaging the searches, he doesn’t want to be replaced.

- And he’s making Ven convinced that he will be replaced, to pit both boys against eachother. He gets Ven more under his thumb and not risking Hunter making Ven change his mind. Which doesn’t work as he intented, Ven does get scared about it but Hunter ends up pretty quickly going “dude why do you think I want to replace you?” and Ven is quickly thrown into a loop because he can’t understand why he wouldn’t want to do that

- Ven: what do you mean with “I don’t wanna be the Golden Guard”? If you’re like me you should DESIRE IT SINCE YOU WERE BORN

Hunter: lol no. I dealt with my need of approval a year ago on therapy.

Hunter: Also being a cop sucks.

- This boy is a tense child always a few bad moments away from a breakdown/meltdown. And has anger problems. A lot of anger in a very tiny body

- There’s some more interactions between Ven and the Noceda duo, and he would rather die than admit that he’s got slightly attached to them

- Eda: Luz told me that Golden Guard is a uwu smol boi that needs to be protected, hell knows what this means 

Hunter, who definetly came there too because FUCKING COOL ASS CAVE AND LAKE: i hate/love her

Ven: If i ever see that human again-

Amity AND Hunter: watch your fucking mouth

(definetly not how it would play out but very funny sdkdshdfsj)

- In terms of strength he couldn’t defeat Amity in a fight for the key, he would lean more on the blackmailing. He is a 12 year old but he’s still on a position of power on the emperor’s coven and he knows where the key is, it would put the owlfam on Belos’ line of sight again (if they even ever went away from it)

- That or he passes out, gets dragged out of there by them (he’s a lil shit but they’re not going to leave him there alone where Kikimora could kill him) and he falls asleep for 12 hours in the couch on the owl house. Which ends up giving him a day where he can be just a kid. He’s very weirded out by everything but he enjoys it a little bit at least. He would still try to get the key and would be torn apart by the guilt of thinking of doing this and the guilt of not doing this

- It wouldn’t take much to make him want to stay in the owl house. He’s starved for positive attention. It wouldn’t be easy but also it’s not as hard as for how Hunter is right now in canon

- I don’t think this could happen but I keep thinking about one day him and Hunter switching places so he can be just a kid for one day. Would be cool to see him sneaking into Hexside (or being dragged there, which is more likely to happen) and interacting with Willow and Gus

And that’s some of what we have for Ven right now! He’s a fun character to figure out :3

This took SO MUCH TIME to write

Eda's Requiem Thoughts

every week a new episode comes out and every week it's like they're trying to kill me I literally cried but also gasped so much what the heck

you've changed owl lady, it's worth it." the photo of all three of them. the whole list. we're staring off with my 🥺 face then huh

king?? leaving?? 😭

"I guess I'm no substitute for the real thing" oh, oh no eda you're just as important to them do not act like you're some half-assed temporary replacement

side note, absolutely love seeing that her desk/vanity there is also covered in glyph homework showing that even she's gotten really into learning about them

ok what the fuck is up with the reaction between bard magic and Eda's curse rn

im so mad right now I've been spelling it rayne and there's a last name I gotta retag everything

anyways I'm not immediately taken with Raine but they're a dork, like adorkable kinda dork.

"I supposed you could stay here a little longer" Eda pls just whip out the adoption papers why don't you

AHH the other principals!! interesting!!

oh eda is avoiding her problems 😞 big mood but also what if it spirals

"no coven wants a powerless witch" hmmm why is that, could it be because you're just using the coven system to siphon off power from all of these witches

pls this speech is really cheesy, they're all kinda cheesy. little naive but they got the spirit. I love it.

pls eda and raine are blushing already they're both dorks

"she's the one who inspired me to make the group" Eda your IMPACT

PLS Raine's angry face in the flashback is the same one Eda does in separate tides when the bounty guy told her everyone knows she's powerless now.

rainstorm? nickname? love it.

love to see bump friendly with the other principals. love that one has a giraffe palisman.

oh no, a tip about a raid? shes not gonna make it back in time is she?

EVEN WORSE ITS A SETUP

THIS FUCKERS NAME WOULD BE DARIUS

why is eber kinda adorable though

the abomination magic is throwing me, like what's this dude gotta do to himself to make himself part abomination, I hate it

if belos needs every head witch, couldn't raine just like, run? I know it's not a feasible long term solution, but if they could make it past the day of unity?

pls their duet is so so so beautiful, it made me start crying immediately

I love that raine saw something that eda viewed as a problem and made it work to their advantage. they turned the lack of magic back into a power

and going off of that, we still don't quite know what it is that's happening with Eda's magic, but it kinda feels like a form of anti-magic? like it's taken all of hers and now it's reaching beyond her to taken even more?

maybe since bard magic uses intstruments its not all entirely from the witch, so the curse recognizes it as eda causing the magic, but it's not inside her, so it extends beyond her to take it from everything being affected too?

EDA WAS JUST GONNA SACRIFICE HERSELF LIKE THAT?? NO HESITATION? im so so so concerned

well folks we got it, someone referred to them as Eda's kid. because they are her kids, they are her real family.

anyways I love raine so much now for stopping eda, for telling her not to give up.

raine just sacrificed themself for eda to return to her family if they make it outta here im signing the marriage papers myself for the both of them

oh my god the bad girl coven instagram

OH MY GOD KINGS DAD

OH MY GOD KING CLAWTHORNE

"tell alador he's a hack" im screaming

oh, oh no, this is the kinda stuff I've been worried about regarding coven marks. every witch with a coven mark basically has a kill switch on them rn. so now I'm concerned for so many. the other batts, bump, gwen, lilith (maybe??)
