I know for sure you made a most showing all of Hunter's official scars from crew art and whatnot, and I straight up cannot find them anywhere, do you happen to have reference photos??? I've looked in so many places (art reference struggle)

OOF.     okay, lemme... make like an entire reference post lmaokxjsk

first of all, we've got the Cheek Scar. we all know this one:

(aw he looks so happy. i'm sure it'll stay that way!)

secondly, there's this scar on his left ankle:

it's on the outer side of his leg, located slightly above his ankle, and it seems to kinda "curve around" his leg too, since we can see the scar up-front as well as from the back.

then, there's the scar on his left upper arm. we can see it in the show, in dana's art, and in color design refs for the episode:

(cannot stop thinking abt him wearing the vet clinic t-shirt btw... he definitely voluntereed at camila's clinic at some point........ he must've been so happy. just helping out, taking care of little creatures.. ough. he'd love that..........)

BUT ANYWAY, the scar also seems to kinda curve around the outer side of his arm (similar to his ankle scar) and it's a little bit diagonal.

next! we also see a scar on his right upper arm, although it's only in this scene, so there’s a slight possibility it’s actually an animation error, but nevertheless! it is there, so:

it’s curved around the back of his upper right arm, horizontal.

then we have scars that dana has drawn on him but that aren’t actually drawn in the show:

an x-shaped scar on his right knee, a scar on the outer side of his left calf/on the back of his leg, as well as a diagonal scar on the top side of his left lower arm (peeking out from under his glove).

AAAAAAAANNDDDDDD...... then we’ve got the new scars, too. ow.

so............ he basically got new scars in most places belos’ goo was; probably wherever it was long enough to, uh, literally eat through hunter’s skin.. considering every animal belos had possessed before ended up being a skeleton....... SO..

new scars:  - a scar on his left cheek (similar to his previous cheek scar but mirrored + slightly smaller/shorter). - a scar on his left ear (it goes allll around the back too), around his ear nick. - a scar on...... a BIG portion of his right body: it has rather “jagged” lines and it starts and goes over his nose, his entire right cheek (covers a bit of his lower eyelid too), then it continues down to his neck (probably covers the entire right half of it, up-front and from the back), it probably covers his entire shoulder.. at the Least, and then it continues on and ends at his right upper arm....... uh - a scar on his left arm. it extends from his wrist to mid-upper-arm (and also has jagged lines). 

.........so! i’m in pain, i’m in agony, i’m in agony and pain and i just want him to be hAPPY.

but yeah! these are all the scars. i think

So, people have pointed out in the past that Hunter got an unusual fighting style- less about big stances churning magic spells and more about moving around, twirling his staff to deflect spells, using it as a blunt weapon- -But I only figured today that it was the style of someone who learned to fight without magic and only then learned spells! I mean, it makes sense, if you’re already used to fight in melee range, you wouldn’t want something that need you to put yourself at a distance like a big fireball, or all the stuff that ask for constant focus and arm movement like plant or abomination magic. Hence the teleport/instant movement- it allows him to get close or dodge faster, but it’s basically the same move set. So yeah, Hunter knows how to fight without magic! Normal for a magicless witch. We already knew  from Hunting Palismen that he can do parkour, so it’s not really a surprise. But. Hmm. Hunter was a Coven Scout before he was promoted to Golden Guard, right? And we don’t see them have artificial staffs.

…If Hunter got his artificial staff at his promotion, then that means the scout training he had fond memories of? The ones Steve seemed to think as particularly rough? He did all of it without magic at hand.

so can we talk about...

to make a grimwalker, one has to be ready to take.

we know galdorstones are rare, and not really intended to be used, protected by the people least likely to use them. you have to be malicious to get your hands on a galdorstone- because of their great power we can assume they were always protected in some way. likely well protected. we know already they were almost impossible to get to when gus and co. tried. belos didn’t have powerful magic when he began searching for these ingredients. it must have taken a set determination. a willingness to get through all of those challenges. the fact he didn’t give up tells us just how much he wanted to make a grimwalker. for what initial reason, however… well, we don’t know, but maybe i’ll get into that in another post.

palistrom wood seems to be life-giving in some way. maybe it is in itself alive. again, it seems wrong to take it, to use it for something it was never meant to be used for. using resources which were never meant to be exploited like that. it is meant to make companions, not servants. belos knows this, obviously. he takes anyway. it’s giving colonizer.

stonesleepers seem near-extinct, and i doubt they can survive without their lungs. how belos got his hands on this ingredient (besides the stonesleeper in the skull) is beyond me, but luz and lilith did show him how to bring down the beast. how cruel, then, the process of getting this ingredient is. again, belos has little magic, especially in the beginning. this would have to be planned extremely carefully.

selkidomus scales! we know from eda that the selkidomus is a timid creature which only attacks when provoked. exploiting an innocent creature again, i see. good job belos.

then finally, the bone of ortet. well, whoever you want to clone either has to be dead, or an amputee, basically. we know what happened in this case.

there is a running theme in the creation of a grimwalker. exploitation, stealing, and destruction of innocent life. grimwalkers are not meant to exist- they are the closest thing we have seen to ‘dark’ magic, i would say. aside from the draining spell. and grimwalkers are made for a selfish reason. to bring back the dead- to create not only a clone, but one you can shape to listen to everything you say. there is pretty much no good coming out of this whole process.

wonder how hunter would feel about that if he found out lol lmao.

The brothers have their differences... especially when it comes to the treatment of babies.

It's rough being on the run, just as Phillip feels absolutely humiliated by being bested by the brother who he could've sworn he killed way back when.

Oh and Lilith's here I guess.

Reblog if you think that Vee should get to punch Belos while screaming about every evil that he specifically committed against the basiliks as a species

[freedominwriting]

"I don't know who I even am... Belos— he wanted me to be a replacement for you, for the Golden Guards. I'm not even supposed to exist!"

Hunter had read extensively about Grimwalkers, the artificial lifeform made from the emperor's most coveted materials. All so that he would have a version of the man before him that wouldn't ever betray him.

Caleb reaches his hand to console Hunter, but Hunter slaps it away.

"I don't need your sympa—"

Without hesitation, Caleb closes the gap between them, enveloping Hunter into a tight hug. This poor child, he had seen it through his memories, through his words—the unbelievable betrayal, confusion, and loneliness that wreaked havoc in his heart.

Who was Hunter? Where did he belong? What was right and wrong? Despite that, he seemed to intuitively know the right path. He was warm and loving. Desperately craving friend, family—love.

Hunter is frozen in his grip. Caleb wonders if this is the closest thing to holding the child he never got to meet before he had passed. Hunter in a way was his very own.

In the short moments he had found himself in this child's mindspace, he already felt tethered to him. Flapjack had also shared the same fondness.

It wasn't because he was a grimwalker or clone or whatever Hunter wanted to say to justify his appearance or mannerisms.

"Grimwalker, Golden Guard, Half-a-Witch, or even me— Those aren't you. Just be Hunter. Whoever Hunter wants to be. That's enough."

To Caleb, Hunter is family.

[freedominwriting]

These two are like actually killing me

[freedominwriting]

You know that theory that Hunter’s ear notch was left over from what’s essentially a cattle tag, but for clones? Well if we look at Vee, who is also a clone of the deceased...

[freedominwriting]

Okay I wanna talk about two of the trailer panels here

So they might be talking about grimwalkers here, though how they got a book about them is unclear. Maybe they need something from a grimwalker for the portal.

But what intrigues me the most is this.

The grimwalker's hand reach.

This is likely the basement ceiling where Hunter and Gus hung up stars, since they canonicaly like Star trek. So what if this is Hunter having another crisis about his heritage while trying to sleep, perhaps even unlocking repressed memories of his own birth in the process?

Whatever the case may be, this undoubtedly means more grimwalker lore and I am here for it.

I counted all of the masks in the That Scene of the new TOH episode

So I know that the current number that is agreed upon from hollow mind is  ≈ 21 if memory serves. so with That Scene in the newest episode, i thought i might as well count the new ones and-

[Image ID: the first image shows two screenshots from the skeleton pit in The King’s Tide, one showing a close up of one section, and a wide shot of the pit. There are numbers counting all of the golden guard masks. there is a total of 47 in the first shot. The second Image shows a ground shot that is out of frame of the wide shot, and has 5 golden guard masks, bringing the total to 52. End ID]

There are at least 52 previous golden guards.

Guys. GUYS. -

THIS BITCH RIGHT HERE IS STARING DOWN AT THE GRAVE OF HIS OWN BROTHER

WHOM HE HAD MURDERED

the grave might be empty or missing a couple of bones though 💀💀💀

AND HE DOESN'T SEEM TO FEEL A THING BESIDES POORLY HIDDEN ANGER.

[freedominwriting]

So Grimwalkers are grown from the ground, like plants? No wonder Hunter likes Willow so much, she’s really great at nurturing and healing flora! Hunter’s a friggin’ mandrake!

[freedominwriting]

Belos can possess skeletal corpses right? What if he can combine them into an amalgam even...

Darius and Hunter you got a big storm comin’-

[freedominwriting]

more thoughts about hand pain and then the feeling of confused relief when something actually helps

(grimwalker keratin is made from palistrom wood so…)

[freedominwriting]

Grim-thing

he didn’t even try to move

THE STRAIGHT CONFIRMATION OF THEORY THAT GRIMWALKERS ARE INVULNERABLE TO HIGH TEMPERATURESБ
