I noticed this tiny detail that made me feel kind of sick about Hunter. (It’s about his scars and abuse so if that stuff is triggering don’t read this)
In Labyrinth Runners we see a bunch of students with injuries that could left scars,
But thanks to healing magic these students fine,
Before Thanks to Them we knew he had at the very least a scar on his face and his ear was nicked. In Thanks to Them there were a lot of other scars revealed.
We also know that Hunter was most likely abused physically by Belos based on how he flinches a lot when he moves around him,
this is also more obvious in Any Sport in a Storm
So it’s clear that he’s probably been hurt by Belos physically at least once. Probably more based on the number of scars. But he shouldn’t even have so many scars if healing magic can make injuries like these simply disappear. Even if Belos didn’t necessarily cause these scars to exist, he denied Hunter medical help. Which means Belos probably didn’t allow Hunter’s injuries to be treated properly, despite there being literally no reason not to. He has the whole Healers Coven to help him if he wants as well as the Emperors Coven, which practices all sorts of magic. The Emperors Coven I’m sure is full of healers who are prodigies let into it because of their ability.
It’s a small detail, but it is really telling of how abusive Belos was to Hunter.

True to new year's resolutions, I'm cleaning/finishing some of my old wips and making room for new stuff.
Is Hunter still relevant?

I know everyone is making fun of Hunter's new man purse (which Flapjack stays in and it's adorable!)
I couldn't help but be drawn to this little blue bow on it. I know the purse might be something he got from the trash or lost and found and it was just some girly accessory he didn't care about, but I looked up the meaning of a blue bow and here's the first thing I saw...
😳 It stands for child abuse prevention and awareness. I don't think of it as a sad thing, but it adds to him becoming more aware of his horrible upbringing. Hunter is on the path to healing now, especially now that he knows people have his back. Still... right in the feels.

At first, I thought it was me overthinking things, but after the newest episode, maybe I’m onto something? Has anyone else noticed that Hunter seems to be very sensitive with his hands?
I’ve noticed this in the previous episodes, and I thought about it for a bit, but I know I tend to overthink things so I just forgot about it. But after this scene in the most recent episode I feel like there could be more to it.
He’s grabbing his hand as if it was easily in pain. (And I know the 2nd gif it’s just him being traumatized, y’know the usual, but still just wanted to point it out because it could also be physical pain)
He is ALWAYS wearing gloves, no matter what. Maybe there’s some reason behind it all. The shows constant focus on his hands, him grabbing his hands, his point to always cover his hands. It all seems too weird and too much of a coincidence to not mean anything.
I don’t know what all this could mean about his hands, and what’s so special about them, but I do hope we get some reveal or revelation on his hands, and maybe he takes his gloves off, in the future.

Can we please talk about the fact that not only was Hunter secretly living on Hexside grounds this whole time, but that this decision was probably enforced by his one, single positive experience with the emerald entrails?
Jesus christ.

Personal opinion: it’s actually pretty cute that Hunter is getting blushy around Willow. Like, this poor dude’s been through a lot. Let him have a silly teenager problem like having a crush on someone he thinks is super neat.
