honestly one thing that confused me about toh is how hunter reacted to the revelation that he was a grimwalker. his initial reaction was realistic but later, he seems more worried about having his friends find out that he's a grimwalker than he was about.. BEING a grimwalker.
think about it. if you found out that you were a CLONE of someone else, made by your abusive uncle to fill a role, wouldn't you spiral into existential crisis? especially if you also have the information that there were a dozen other clones before you, and they were all MURDERED by your super awesome uncle?
just the idea of being a clone and being a replacement for someone else is impossible to wrap your head around. i can't imagine how i would feel if i was faced with such information. what other people would think of it would be the LEAST of my worries.
hunter however seems to readily accept the idea that he's a clone. the only time he seems to even think about caleb is during the montage in the first episode of s3 where he cuts his hair after getting a traumatic flashback. but even that is more connected to belos himself rather than the reality of being a grimwalker.
i understand that the series was cut short but i never understood why they put so much emphasis on how willow, gus and amity would react to the news of hunter being a grimwalker.
on one hand, sure, hunter is afraid of losing his new friends. it makes sense. it's his first time being truly accepted and loved by people, and he doesn't want to lose that.
but on the other hand, it seems like he came to terms with the whole grimwalker thing pretty quickly. he doesn't think of its implications, he doesn't take time to ruminate on it or come to terms with it, he just.. doesn't seem to care about it that much at all.
i feel like one of these things is a bit more important than the other.
i just feel like hunter's entire storyline had so much potential for some serious existential crisis and psychological horror even, but the creators barely scratched the surface.
(and again, i wouldn't be saying this if the creators hadn't chosen to focus on completely unnecessary characters and plotlines with the little runtime they had.)
I love this rotting killer rabbit. Also the image is a bit fried but oh well

Smooth Hunter go brrrrrrr draw those wolves boy !!
Omg this is great! Your dog is so cute and silly!! Hunter’s expression too!
@pincushionx I did it >:]
Meet Lucy Van Pelt! she’s very quirky :3 ⬇️
Need a version of Hunter where he traumatizes Belos back or something
It’s out of character but it’s a funny thought, like after Hollow mind he says fuck it and commits acts of warfare, psychological and physical on any emperor coven member he sees. He’s been betrayed in the worse way possible and makes it everyone else’s problem.
Sees what Gus can do in labyrinth runners and instantly wants to learn how to replicate it! Heard that Lilith cursed Eda, where she get those scrolls from?! Wild magic and dangerous magic/potion books from Eda and the school, he must have have them!
I don’t even know the specifics on how this would work but all I know is that kid needs to go rogue and traumatize that hag back I say!
BOOK OF BILL SPOILERS
One thing I like the most about Bill is that he’s an unreliable narrator. He’s a liar
His dimension is flat but he can see 3d. In the show he claims that everything was flat. Flat minds, flat dreams and that he “liberated” his world. Which we know now was him destroying it. This paints him as a cold killer but yet in the book it is stated he misses home and can’t return but that he’s happy, but that he’s a lair. (Stated by axolotl, a being older and more powerful than him)in the book, it also states that everyone loved him in his dimension but that may also be a lie. He may have been ostracized and looked down on for his mutation, except we know his mother loved him. Him wanting to show what he saw to his race led to him burning down his dimension. It was an accident I believe, that there was no malicious intent , just him wanting to show others what he saw. He wanted to show them the stars. But he went too far. think he caused a some sort of rift that sort of just decimated his dimension or his powers going haywire and reduced it to atoms. It’s stated he was left covered in blood.
I’m pretty sure he’s blocking memories. I think the trauma of destroying his dimension left him cold and allowed him and his morals become skewed.He only became worse as he traveled realms and into the nightmare realm and became obsessed with chaos. He and his awful being and it’s good that he’s locked away in therapy prison.
I like that’s he’s a crazy irredeemable person with such tragic backstory. I’m curious about his history and what led him to be the way that he is. He’s trillions years old so who knows what else he been through. I doubt he’s always been this all powerful dream demon. I think he’s tries to paint himself as this being who was always evil but I don’t think he was like that. (He literally blacks out when he thinks about it too much, it’s easier to lie and say it was on purpose and that he’s just evil)
Yes he’s Bill Cipher, a dream demon no one should trust but once he was just Billy who liked his sandwiches with no crust.
More baby grimwalker and Hunter
I shall call this child Bailey for now. Flapjack is off stealing some stuff for them.
Context, Hunter gets a baby grimwalker after hollow mind and instead of going to hexside, steals snails and crashes at a cheap rental room in some part of the Titan where not many scouts patrol. He meets up with the hexsquad for the events of Kings tide afterwards.
Ya know what, teen parentfies your Hunter
So y’all remember that grimwalker we see Belos possess briefly in the second or third episode of the finale. Well this is them as a baby before they grew and rotted into an adult. So after hollow mind, Hunter decides to run back to the castle and sneak in through a “secret” entrance which ends up being the lab where he unburies this baby. He decides no he will never be loyal to Belos again and takes the baby. Belos made this grimwalker around the time of eclipse lake just in case he needed to off Hunter. Belos can’t make a new grimwalker now due to having enough materials, he was just planning to harvest Hunter. (Specifically for the stone sleeper lungs)
Now with a baby as a new responsibility, rather then go to hexside. He makes the desperate choice to steal for his new baby and the rest shall be planned out.
Any ideas what to name this child (I love baby grimwalker stories so muchhhh)
Extra digital circus sketches + oc
What kind of instrument do you guys think Hunter would play?
I think about all the types of magic we never saw Hunter use in the show. Besides seeing some non specific staff magic like teleportation , creation and blast we only see him use magic that could be considered construction and have interest in potions but that’s it really.
This actually low key disappoints me because I know a boy like Hunter with such a interest in magic would know how to do so much and we didn’t get to see it. I can imagine all the original and bizarre ways he would use magic since I doubt many people has interest in teaching anything but the basics. Like yeah, he had an artificial staff but he still needs to know the spells like how we see him having to use flapjack for the first time in eclipse lake.
Oh well, that’s what we have fanfiction for
Anyways, while I don’t think Belos would care to much for Hunter to learn Bard magic as it would probably need to another artificial tool and there are other skills Hunter could learn instead.
I just think it’s fun to think about the Golden Guard or just Hunter whipping out an instrument and jamming out mid fight or for funsies.
I think Belos would have him learn some sort of church kind of instrument. Like one you could hear at a church or something in the 1600s.
Like a viol, lute, fiddle or recorder. Since these instruments are pretty old in origin and used in religious spaces which I think suits Belos.
I think Hunter would be good at this and would be commonly used in combat, I can imagine.
Now as for post-canon I can see Hunter learning a instrument as something new to learn. Even better if he can get waffles to turn into one.
I think he would be interested in some sort of string instruments.
I can imagine him vividly with a violin or lyre. Violin because I think they are very powerful intruments that can convey all sorts of tone and emotion and lyre due to the association with birds.
But yeah I love the idea of bard Hunter.
