I know it was unexpected for plenty of people but I LOVE the implication that in S3 willow is the one rocking a tough, practical jacket and hunter is the one in the cozy nerd sweater. Especially in the context of how they've always viewed each other?

Willow has always been the "leather jacket-wearing bad-boy with a heart of gold" in hunters eyes when you think about it. She's strong, plays a flashy contact sport that's essentially fantasy-roller derby, stands up to authority and fights for a cause, all the while being sweet and silly and sensitive and secretly insecure but healing from something traumatic that happened to her.

And on the flip side, willow didn't meet Hunter when he was the golden guard, she met him when he was pretending to be a normal kid. He was weird and awkward and overzealous and stand offish. His best friend is a bird and his name is Caleb Jasper Bloodwilliams. BUT as the day goes on he makes friends, acts dorky and encouraging, does something really weird and messed up but (most important to willow) demonstrates that he can mend the mistakes he makes. He's soooo the sheltered "good" girl learning to come out of her shell and willow is the risk taking beefcake who shows him the world. It's disgusting and I love it

#the owl house #hunter toh #willow park #huntlow #hi yeah sorry to shippost on main but i couldn't rest til i articulated this thought #like it's perfectly reasonable that eveyone assumed their aesthetics would lean opposite. but this idea makes so much sense and is- #-so funny #obviously this is slightly hyperbolic analysis and is mostly here for comedic purposes but i stand by the central thesis #which is that huntlow flips one of the most famous het romance tropes in a way that is soooo fuckin cute and charming i love it #this is what i mean when i call them bi4bi t4t #again i also love love edgy hunter and cottagecore willow. but those do feel more tied to their s2A characters than who they probably are- #-by the time Thanks to Them roles around #anyway yeah huntlow makes me stupid insane to think abt abdidbfk #secret fuckin sauce that they put in these two
