What if Hunter takes off his gloves for the first time during a moment with Willow?? What then??
#huntlow#i am so fixated on whatever hunter's deal is with his own hands#its possible it means absolutely nothing and its possible it means EVERYTHING#lately ive just been seeing the gloves as a representation of hunter's very last emotional barrier#there was his mask cloak uniform and breastplate but all that is gone now#i think when it comes to revealing his face theres a sense of identity#and it can emcompass all forms of love and familiarity. and in this case when the mask first came off he found his first friend in Luz#followed closely by flapjack#but he didnt entirely forget himself in that ep. he made a connection but he was still distanced. still held back. still guarded.#and then when he shed his armor for hexside infiltration and flyer derby he just#let himself get swept away in it. he was happy he was warm he was lighthearted. he had fun and he made a bunch of friends#and then again during that moment where he comforts gus#hes wearing his flyer derby outfit. his armor is gone once again and theres no breastplate to guard his heart#he opens that heart to gus. he makes a sincere attempt to express empathy and compassion. he tries to show gus that he cares about him.#which is HUGE for hunter#his kindness has always been there but hes never been good at articulating it. but he tried and he did a good job#and like. okay so face heart hands. those are the big three in my stupid little brain#and there is something so very vulnerable and intimate about hand imagery#full of romantic undertones if you will#and there HAS already been an emphasis on huntlow and interlaced fingers so its like. hm.#anyway im bullshitting symbolism that isnt actually there i know im aware#but i am manifesting that when those gloves come off willow will be involved#the hands are willows jurisdiction
