hunter's fighting style being "just hit and kick them as fast as possible so they can't grab their staff" is especially funny BECAUSE LUZ USES THE EXACT SAME TACTIC ON HIM.

she IMMEDIATELY tries to murder him by rocketing him out of an airship & then when he survives and is like "lmfao, i have magic, dumbass. i wouldn't expect a human to get that-"

she's like "aight bet" HURLS HIS STAFF INTO THE ABYSS. HOW YOU GONNA DEAL WITH MY SCRAPPY FIGHTING STYLE NOW GOLDEN GUARD

there's a moment where hunter actually laughs aloud in apparent rage and disbelief & i DO think he was pissed off and about to throw hands, but also. I THINK HE'S JUST. GENUINELY IMPRESSED??

he's like oh my god. fucking NOBODY except me has EVER tried that dumb shit before. oh NO. this girl is so FUN.... it sucks that i have to kill her with my bare hands. ah well!

when was the last time i mentioned that hunting palismen is perfect. or that luz and hunter are perfect. theyre literally jsut. they . i . theyre . GOD.

thinking about hunter being a cheery prep to luz's emo goth circa thanks to them it's so fucking good. one of the best things the show ever did. you KNOW at some point over the summer luz was like "i am just So Fucking Sad" and hunter was like "i can fix that! let's get up for a 6 AM run and go listen to the birds, you'll feel so much better :)" and luz was like "hunter i love you so much. always and forever. you know this to be true. you must also understand that i am Going To Kill You,"

#thinking about hunter and luz but also ronsey and various other dead people. #i am falling asleep. #horrible mindscape trauma pals #for posterjty i guess

i love how it takes hunter like two seconds to decide he'll die for people. he honestly might be the most openhearted of the main cast except for luz. willow Ripped Him Out Of The Sky & he was like waow. this girl's awesome. luz was a wanted anarchist criminal wrecking his whole shit n he was like i do kinda want her approval tho. i do kinda feel bad when she gets upset with me. gus was like hey i don't trust your sus ass >:( and hunter was like that's fine. you gave me food you're on my i-will-die-for-you list forever. even with AMITY hunter was like haha i 100% did just try to kill you and have been fucking with you literally the entire time we've known each other but ummmmm uh.... thank you.... for giving me the key.... i feel kinda.... bad again. sowwy. sorta. okay BAIIII

#only luz is more trusting and it gets her in trouble constantly. #thinking about him. what a guy. #keep trying to sleep but paxlovid is giving me terrible gastrointestinal troubles. must think stupid hunter thoughts to soothe them. #toh #hunter toh #toh fambly #horrible mindscape trauma pals #and who is that other witch

i love thinking about hunter's staff as a disability aid ESPECIALLY because of the context it adds to hunting palismen it's . so funny. oh my goD hunter can't catch a single break in the enTIRE EP fuckin IMAGINE you're just. trying to do your evil job of being evil evilly in peace and then some random annoying 14-year-old anarchist shithead who shouldn't even BE there grabs your cane HURLS it INTO THE ABYSS crashes your ship KNOCKS YOU UNCONSCIOUS smacks you awake FINDS your cane STEALS your cane makes you CHASE HER THROUGH ALLEYS TO GET IT BACK makes FUN OF YOU for struggling without your cane briefly tries to MURDER you WITH your cane then after all of this she just gives it back to you cuz you're accidentally buddies and you're like "are you sure. cause like i'll take it i mean i still gotta do my evil job but you're REALLY gonna wish i was WAY more disabled in 10 minutes" lo and behold she should not have been sure. THEN you end up letting her go anyway and failing to do your job because you're having really weird feelings about the whole thing and also about how nice she is and also about how you feel kinda bad for being evil for some reason. this girl stole your disability aid and tried to murder you like 7 times.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME LIKE NO ONE ELSE. YES

the idea of luz and hunter having a much slower-burn enemies to frenemies to friends arc gets me EVERY TIME. i would KILL for them to have more individual interactions between hunting palismen and hollow mind.

like i can so clearly imagine a stupid episode plot wherein eda is getting something fabulously illegal from the night market & hunter starts to shut the whole thing down & eda's like quick luz!! distract him he likes you

luz: he WHAT-?

eda: NO TIME FOR THAT, GO BE A SCRAPPY HUMAN FOR ME

(we stan a negligent crime owl mom. eda has never done anything wrong in her life)

luz and hunter start scrapping with a combination of vicious wild magic and even more vicious beating-the-piss-out-of-each-other, as they do, and they're clearly both having a great time with it. the tone is very low stakes, it's a fun battle but it's nothing like the amity-hunter in eclipse lake or the lilith-eda in agony of a witch, yknow. it's a friendly duel! that might incidentally kill one or both of them

then one of the spells from hunter's staff hits luz square in the chest.

luz shouts in pain and drops like a stone.

hunter freezes immediately, flashsteps over to her to see what the damage is. he's like, "how bad is-- can you sit up??" he's transparently anxious, hovering over her like an older brother who just saw a younger kid eat shit on their bike. maybe even takes off his mask for better wound-assessing visibility??

luz is like [weakly] "yeah, i think so." sits up very slowly. winces a lot about it. hunter visibly exhales in relief

BAM

FIST OUTTA NOWHERE.

LUZ CLOCKS HIM IN THE NOSE AND HOPS UP PERFECTLY FINE

hunter, clutching his face: AUGH - HUMAN -

luz, scampering off, cheerfully shouting back at him as she goes: hahAHAHA! YOU DO LIKE MEEEEE!!! :DDD

havent seen anyone talk about it yet which is SHOCKING to me but my peak luz hunter moment wasnt even any of the overt family talk or dramatic desperation hugs, it was just. luz giving hunter the owl mask to emulate the golden guard's confidence & then him bursting in with the "what happens next should be relatively painless... if you just do what i say :)" callback, but this time it's with her By His Side AS the golden guard and AGAINST belos.... you guys i love it so much i love it SO much i lose my MIND. i was anticipating golden guard atrocities angst but actually loved this so much more like. yeah fuck yeah reappropriate that fearless confidence and righteousness!! yeah take what your abuser made you and shape it into something you want for yourself instead!! yeah throw it back in his face!! yes yes yes be self-assured and powerful!! let's fukkin GO

#i realize everything that came after somewhat overshadows this very good moment so can see why people havent talked much about it #BUT COME ON.... LUZ ENCOURAGING HIM WITH THE MASK INSTEAD OF PUSHING HIM AWAY...

luz and hunter are the funniest hand in unlovable hand pair of all time because they are patently fucking NOT hand in unlovable hand but they are both SO CONVINCED THAT THEY ARE. hunter and luz out here like "i'm gonna destroy and kill us both we're gonna take this whole world down with us i am the cancer in your blood i am the monster under the bed we're evil and wrong and bad and MIRED IN SIN" while the rest of their giant family who all love their lovable asses so fucking much are watching them like "for CHRIST'S SAKE. can you PLEASE just eat a fucking meal. and STOP BEING CATHOLIC"

#i've got thanks to them on the brain. THEYRE SO FUNNY. #we have to handle everything ourselves because no one else will ever understand our evil hearts of darkness #you guys are crying and cuddling in the middle of a giant puppy pile filled with love. kids ffs #can we PLEASE get some accurate self-perception in here. i know we cant. but can we #toh #horrible mindscape trauma pals #luz noceda #hunter toh

I’ve always been a big fan of post-canon Luz secretly going through Belos studies of Grimwalkers and Basilisks. Because while she hates hime down to his very core, he did accidentally make two of the most important people in her life and she’d put it on herself to be able to care for them if something happens.

The talk about Hunter’s healther reminded me of an idea where Hunter has a really bad fall, like whatever he uses as bones is visible, everyone’s freaking out. But Luz just starts determinedly mixing a healing salve that Belos only used to put Hunter back together when he went too far. Hunter recognizes it, looks at Luz, and he feels terrified.

THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS IS SO GOOD AND THEN THAT LAST SENTENCE MADE MY HEART CATCH IN MY THROAT.

#MMM. MIGHT BE A ONESHOT PROMPT IF UR NOT OPPOSED TO ME WRITING IT #BECAUSE. OH GOD. #toh #horrible mindscape trauma pals #luz noceda #hunter toh #belos toh

"It seems like he's good for you," Camila says.

The Luz sitting at the kitchen table is certainly different from the one Camila has gotten to know over the past few months. The hope in her expression is guarded, still, like she's scared to feel anything good - but it's a thousand times better than her usual listless stare.

"He's my best friend," Luz says. Then, more cautiously, "I need him to stay here. With me."

The boy is the reason that Camila's search history has just gotten very peculiar and probably put her on a watch list. Things like Stahl's ear and oculocutaneous albinism next to unsolved missing children 2000s connecticut. That last one pulls up way too many current-day news pieces about Luz for comfort.

"Baby, I know you don't like to talk about it," Camila starts, and Luz tenses. "You don't have to answer me if you don't want to. But have you been missing him this whole time? I would have found him, mija. I know you don't like the police, I don't either. But if I needed to find a way, I'd find a way."

Luz blinks rapidly, pressing her palms to her cheeks.

"Is there anyone else you're looking for?" Camila asks, very gently, very non-judgmentally. "Maybe someone you don't want to get in trouble?"

Luz shakes her head and clears her throat. Then she smiles in the peculiar, diplomatic way that never reaches her eyes.

"I just thought he was dead," she says lightly. "Silly me. I should have remembered humans don't kill people. I got some bad intel."

"Okay," Camila says. "Do you understand why that was a concerning thing to say?"

Luz shrugs.

"He has a lot of scars," Camila adds.

Another shrug.

"Baby," she says, "I need to know at least a little bit. I can't keep guessing forever."

Luz's mouth crumples. "I'm not what you think I am," she whispers.

"That's okay." Camila takes a seat across from her, exhaling softly. "I'm all ears."

[crimeronan]

writing princess AU eda's relationship with luz is becoming increasingly hilarious. she's so convinced that hunter is A Problem (TM) for luz, with absolutely ZERO EVIDENCE. eda like "do you want me to kill that guy for you?? because it sounds like he sucks and i will totally kill that guy for you" while luz is like "....i have.... literally never said anything negative about him.......?"

eda talking to raine like "damn it seems like the golden guard sucks. do you want to kill that guy" and raine like "eda. i cannot express enough to you that that is Also a baby,"

#much 2 consider. #the reason i havent finished the fic yet is bc im still figuring out the exact shape of the last chapter. but. much 2 consider. #there's a good chance it'll involve hunter and luz having a fight & then luz accidentally crying about it in the owl house #to which eda is like. you REALLY aren't going to let me have hooty eat him???????? #hunter voice: i literally only want whatever is best for luz #eda voice: yeah okay belos dad 2.0. pound sand #toh #princess luz au #eda clawthorne #horrible mindscape trauma pals

AU where luz lets hunter die in hunting palismen and then immediately has her life complicated by the emperor pulling a new eight-year-old nephew out of fucking nowhere.
