Curious to hear from one of the biggest Hunter fans around here...

How do you see Hunter in the future? Tall or small? Buff or slim? Long or short hair?

Also what do you think he does for work/hobbies? Love your art btw

hmmm well, i did post my design for a future hunter here once, but to build upon it:

i feel like, for hair, obviously the hairstrand stays. it's eternal. when it comes to the rest of his hairstyle/hair length, i feel like it'd fluctuate. sometimes he'd cut it short, sometimes he'd just let it slightly grow out cuz he wouldn’t care, occassionally he'd put it up in a little ponytail, then cut short again. and i do love the idea of him dying his hair bright red sm... matching with flapjack, fitting into the theme of finding his own identity and becoming his own person, experimenting with his style and appearance now that he's completely free... so good. although i feel like he'd only dye it fully, like, ONCE, then go back to blonde cuz he'd realize keeping up with it is too much, and then only try red streaks once in a while.

for his general..... uh, build i guess?? i'd imagine him similar to how he is now tbh, just older. i know he's referred to as "scrawny" in the show but i'd say i see him as having more of a sturdier/stockier build and being justttt slightly on the bigger side. all 16 year olds in the show generally look different than 14 year olds when it comes to limb proportions etc., so it's very contrasty when you look at him and luz, but even when you compare him to other 16yos like edric or emira, he doesn't look nearly as lean as them, especially when you look at his limbs and torso. so his design is more like.... square and soft rather than long and thin imo, so yeah. i feel like this'd more or less stay the same in the future.

he'll probably unfortunately be tall (derogatory) 🙄🙄 (kxjsjks jk, but ok i feel like him being like.. medium/medium-tall height is most likely tbh, although it’s hard to tell exactly with toh’s artstyle)

now, i already included this in the design but lemme talk abt it here cuz..... his emperor's coven sigil. it's sth that used to matter to him.. a LOT. it used to be a symbol of his status and hierarchy, of success, a source of pride. now that he knows the truth behind sigils, belos, everything, his coven brand is........ NOT rly a pleasant reminder. i feel like he's gonna keep it covered cuz now it just reminds him of all the bad times and the lies he was told etc. etc., mostly likely brings up some feelings of shame and guilt... so what i LIKE to imagine is that he'd choose to cover it up in the future, with a flapjack tattoo. so that looking at the symbol on his wrist would no longer bring up bad memories but rather make him happy instead.

now, as for the near future, i like to imagine him usually staying with darius, but also at the owl house.... and maybe even the noceda household; and obv having sleepovers at gus' and willow's once in a while. but with permanent rooms at darius' and eda's maybe, y'know.

(like, UGH him getting a room at darius' shortly post-canon.. and at first he keeps all his belongings and books and fun little trinkets confined to his room, feeling like the rest of the house is too Organized and too Carefully Designed and very much darius so it's very much not his space, but then as months pass by and he gets more and more comfortable, his own aesthetic slowly starts blending in with the rest of the house as well; a few books left here and there, some decorations, maybe some art he made displayed proudly near the entrance, until all of the house suddenly feels like HIS space as well, as much as his own room does. sth that cold hallways and chambers at the castle never even came close to..... AND when he's at the owl house, he stays over in a "guest" room, but with time it also somehow transforms into and starts officially being addressed by everyone as "hunter's room", even when he's not there.......... ye)

work and hobbies huh.....

well, he would definitely NOT want anything to do with the emperor’s coven (because, yes, i have seen ppl suggesting that for some reason??); although it will most definitely not exist at all anymore, but, just in general, anything related to leading the "covens”, being a scout/guard/soldier, having to rebuild the boiling isles? god, no, let him rest. he was a soldier his entire life, he has enough trauma from even the harsh conditions of the coven itself, he doesn’t need nor deserve to go back to anything even resembling what his duties as the golden guard were. besides, he said it himself; he wishes he could choose his own future. and now he CAN. and that future will consist of healing and exploring who he actually wants to be and discovering his interests. not just being limited to what he’s “supposed” to be, but being himself.

so, for the near post-canon, i like to imagine him officially enrolling into hexside. being able to learn, playing flyer derby on the regular, hanging out with his friends, being around ppl his own age, finally getting to be a teenager. Y'KNOW...... what he deserves. he’d love that. and he could choose the potions track first but i feel like if he was comfortable with everyone else knowing he's magicless, he'd enroll in soooo many tracks. he's got so much curiosity for the world in himself, he'd want to LEARN. and luz did it, so i'm sure they'd give him some accommodations as well. i feel like he'd be especially interested in everything-wild-magic and in cool little niche magical subjects, since those basically are his special interests. imo he'd usually prefer to use flapjack for stuff but he could also finally learn glyphs and maybe even other techniques that we don’t know even exist. especially when it comes to topics he's super interested in, he'd research.... SO MUCH, way over the mandatory class curriculum. he'd just be sitting in the classroom with his arm raised, ready to add on some cool little fun facts and additional knowledge and corrections and answer questions, like, i just Know he'd be regularly hit with the classic sarcastic "maybe you should just get up and teach the lesson yourself if you know so much abt this subject" except he WOULD, in fact.. get up and teach the lesson himself LMAO 💀 i like to think that most teachers though, especially bump, would value his hunger for knowledge, and he'd finally have a place where his curiosity could be satiated and appreciated, since he was oftentimes silenced when speaking passionately abt things he cared about or was interested in before. he deserves to TALK. he likes talking. hashtag let him infodump. and OBVIOUSLY he'd be a part of the flyer derby team, and just.. he'd have sm fun and do so well, and luz and amity would be coming to his, willow and gus' games to cheer them on and just. OUGH he'd have so much fun.. what he deserves...... he’s a teenager who should get to experience typical teenage things.

now, as for further future or just general things he could be into, hmmm i like to think that darius would keep giving him sewing lessons, and eventually hunter would pick up some other fabric/weaving-related techniques. embroidery, making plushies/clothes, maybe even rug-making, etc. in general, i think he’d grow to rly like making art; it could be a cool creative/emotional outlet for him.

and since eda has that palistrom seed, i also rly like that idea that she’d teach him how to carve palismen. although i feel like both him learning and not learning it could symbolize nice things; cuz with him learning woodcarving it brings him closer to his clawthorne/caleb relation, ANd.. he technically.... IS made of palistrom wood himself so 💀 that’d be quite ironic, and just in general i feel like working with palismen would be sth he’d quite enjoy, and it’s another form of art, too. it's poetic in a way as well... it could be so good. but then again him NOT learning it could highlight him being his own person and the found family. so both these possibilities..... OUGHH very nice, whether he learns wood-carving/palisman-making or decides it’s not for him, i’m cheering.

and already mentioned it but, of course, flyer derby. he likes playing it a lot.

i love the concept of him getting slightly fixated on birds; maybe getting into ornithology.

and he loves books; he’s very interested in “wild”/ancient forms of magic, in various niche fun magic-related facts and things, in nerdy things, etc. and he knows SO much. so obviously he’s gonna keep gaining that knowledge, he loves that. i feel like he could also get interested in trying to find out the true history of the boiling isles and witches and how magic actually worked and what techniques were used and what actually happened after he processes just how many lies belos had told and how much he morphed the history for his own benefit. (although lilith is mostly the history nerd here, while hunter’s more interested in the ancient magic part of it, but maybe they could try to cooperate and find out more, after they’d make peace. help ppl of the boiling isles find out the truth after being lied to for their whole lives; like hunter did.)

and tbh, he can basically..... be doing anything in the future if we’re being completely honest. he has lots of natural curiosity in himself and he only just now broke free from belos’ influence so over the next few years he’s gonna spend time trying to... find himself, y’know. seeing new things, trying new things, picking up momentary hobbies, discovering things he’d never known existed...... he finally has time to do all that, and just enjoy himself. things he’s gonna try once and absolutely get absorbed in, things he’s gonna try and see that they aren’t his thing, things that he won’t have any interest in trying. it’s just,..... neat. he can do whatever he wants. as he deserves
