can we get more Hunter lore? 👉👈 niche little blorbo
!! Can't believe my little guy has gained niche blorbo status. I am honored, thank you anon <3
Feels it's important to mention that I'm not a very good writer, and Hunter's entire deal is essentially just me trying to make a character whose backstory is wildly out of place in the girl power sparkly horsie game but still sort of works with the cannon actions of the player character. This is just a hastily thrown together summary of how he winds up in Jorvik. That said, of course you can get more Hunter lore! :^D Sorry this took so long but I had to do some art to go with it :'))
Everything's tucked below since there ended up being a lot more than expected :') I think it's all fairly mild but
Content Warnings:
Image 1: Some mild blood
Image 2: (dressed) head injury
Hunter's pre-jorvik summary contains: patricide, improper body disposal, vehicle theft (x5), unlawful operation of motor vehicles, crossing state lines with stolen property, trespassing, breaking and entering, evading arrest, speeding, and other minor crimes. Also some mention of drowning, concussion, and brain damage.
When an attempt to slip away from his childhood home in the dead of night goes awry, Hunter accidentally hits and subsequently kills his father with a stolen car, then does some sloppy short-notice body disposal. It's nowhere near enough to make sure he's not a suspect, but it does ensure that the body isn't found for another week (until the neighbors come by to ask why his father wasn't at church, only to find that the front door's been left wide open and a small family of raccoons have made their home in the kitchen). He makes his way from his old house in rural North Carolina (U.S.) northwards through eight states under cover of night, switching cars three times along the way (once in Virginia, once in Pennsylvania, and again in New Jersey) until he arrives at the coast of Massachusetts.
^Hunter, age 19, 5 hours after hiding the body of his father
It's here that (not knowing shit about sailing, boats, or oceanic navigation) he chooses an old pontoon in a private dock to hotwire and sail across the Atlantic with the hope of evading prosecution. Three days into the so-far shockingly successful voyage, rough seas capsize his little vessel, leaving Hunter stranded half-conscious and about two-thirds drowned on some debris until the North Atlantic Current carries him into Jorvegian fishing territory. Five days after accidentally murdering his father, he's spotted drifting on some debris by the crew of a Jorvik fishing vessel and brought back to Cape West where he gets some bearings and starts life anew. :^)
The little pontoon isn't so lucky, and its remains wash up along the coast of Maine nearly three weeks later. By then, it's been connected to Hunter's murder + string of vehicle thefts, and he's presumed to have died at sea in an unsuccessful getaway. In some ways, he did.
Most memories of life before the storm have been wiped clear from his brain, and what little that returns in brief flashes is usually just as quickly forgotten again. Some foggy details of events in early childhood remain, but his entire personality is altered by damage and Hunter becomes someone else entirely, often feeling that he's living in a borrowed body.
^old doodle of Hunter, age 19, a week after landing in Cape West
Hunter spends about two weeks recovering from a concussion and anoxic brain damage at the fishing club's Cape West bunkhouse before he's well enough to start learning the ropes and work doing some slightly less intensive odd-jobs around the village (fixing nets, processing fish, delivering mail, a little stablehand work at Goldenleaf, etc.). He attends a riding camp in Moorland towards the end of his first year in Jorvik at the suggestion of Mr.Trout, who believes it'll be a good way to get some better ideas of what the horse-loving isle of Jorvik has to offer and find some sense of self beyond Goldenhills Valley.
From here, its essentially the main storyline with some minor changes and seasonings thrown in :^)

Oh! 💢 and 🏆 for Alice (or anyone else from the pirate story you wanna talk about)? c:
THANK YOU FOR THE ASK GABE ^^ im gonna be spinning a wheel to see who to answer these for!
💢 - Person they can't stand
alice- god. So many people. her tolerance for others was already gutted early (thanks uncle), but between being a pirate and her general impatience she has a List. the most annoying one currently is the rival crew (which is still being workshopped 😔) but the future one has to be. ede. again. ede is a Time for the crew.
vale- vale is extremely fun because they have seemingly endless patience but internally theyre a total bitch. absolutely judging everybody. the current crew isnt an exception but somebody that truly annoyed them was with their previous crew, which were a group of definitely-not-illegal merchants. one of the merchants was an incredibly lax, kind of a shit person that constantly got on their nerves for shits and giggles.
🏆 - Best friends (past, current or future)
alice- hans. theyre both such assholes to eachother but they are Besties your honour. i really need to write something with them sometime, but the long and short of it is that theyre both just similar enough that when they work together they Work together, but that similarity also leads to a lot of arguments considering theyre both quick witted people with strong convictions in themeselves.
vincent- oh uh. hm. this is kinda sad but vincents best friend is sofia, who he only met at the start of the story. being a prince meant that vincent was pretty socially stunted, since he was thrust into politics and competitive nobility pretty young. it messed a lot with his perception of other people. sofia was the first person that wasnt a part of his immediate family that he consistently talked to and had genuine fun with.
questions from here!

While this is a US-only holiday I just wanna thank the submas fandom for all you guys have done for me.
You've helped me feel more like myself than I really can EVER remember feeling, because you've helped me with my self-image. Yes I know it's cosplay and not exactly the same, but it's helped me immeasurably.
Ive never quite been in a fandom that appreciates new artists, artists without honed skills, and writers as much as you all. For real I felt welcomed from day one. You all comment and reblog and tag things and it's just. Such a nice place to be.
Ive made countless friends and reconnected with some old ones on Tumblr, Twitter, and Discord. I actually found an awesome community on twitter, something that felt out of reach before! I found my love of writing again and had some of the best days of my life at cons.
Thank you all for making my 2022 a genuinely good year. I'll never be able to fully articulate what everything has meant to me, but I hope you all can understand what I'm trying to say.
I hope to keep seeing you all around, happy holidays of all sorts, and all aboard for 2023!!
