#personally i'm a fan of him being a malnourished little freak who can't digest boiling isles food to save his life

sometimes i see really heated arguments over whether hunter is a really built soldier or whether he's a scrawny pipsqueak and i think these arguments are hilarious because. it is SO relative. like, not even in the storytelling, i mean even his actual design. he's taller and broader than everyone in the hexsquad because he is sixteen. he's shorter and thinner than everyone in the emperor's coven because he is sixteen. the boy is simply a normally proportioned sixteen-year-old who looks like a badass jacked military asshole or a very thin very wet very angry cat ENTIRELY due to circumstance. like to luz and co he's obviously bigger. but amity notes that he's scrawny because she's expecting someone with the proportions of, you know, AN ADULT SOLDIER. the adults push him around like a shitty little pipsqueak because they're all terrible and very funny people & when you get to be above the age of about 26, every 16-year-old you meet REALLY DOES START LOOKING LIKE A BABY. holds all of your hands. embrace the magic of perspective and contrast with me. hunter is whatever you want him to be.
