#*glares at hunter*

so dana's gallery art featured hunter in glasses, and i thought about it, and yeah, two recolours in one episode would probably cause some sort of eye trauma.

Honestly i think something missed in a lot of fan content that portrays belos and his abuse is his whole "Grandfatherly" vibe he presents and gives to the people and hunter.

Like yes, being cruel and mean ARE part of it, and he certainly tries less to come off that way the longer the show goes, but some of the biggest reasons hunter and the isles were not supposed to really identify how bad he really was had a lot to do with his ability to come off well meaning and sympathetic to those around him.

With hunter, it wasn't just constant shaming and physical abuse, he would smile and intrigue hunter with stories about the human realm, tell hunter he couldn't go on missions to keep him "safe", be incredibly playful about hunter watching him.

It's why hunter was more terrified to upset him, because belos was capable of coming off kind and sweet in his eyes, and that aspect made hunter want to make him happy just as much as want to prove himself. Not just out of fear, but because he had seen belos as a genuine loving uncle who actually did seem to care and needed his help.

Obviously even in these moments belos would still say stuff as bad as implying hunter was replaceable, but how it's being presented is not the same as just being outwardly and openly cruel.

Whether you think it was all lies and manipulation or there were moments were belos was genuine about how he felt (Or maybe an combo of both were his genuineness is used for manipulation), i think people get so wrapped up in his outward cruelness we've forgotten his ability to come off like a sweet and sympathetic father figure that got him here in the first place.

let the man SMILE.

I just love The Drama (and unexpected comedy) to have this tense moment between the men broken by Mina suddenly rising from her trance-like slumber with, "You forget—" *anime villain snort of derision* "—that I am The Train Fiend."

Hunter, introducing Crosshair: This is my baby brother!

Random person: Sir, that’s a grown ass man. He’s also taller than you.

Hunter: My baby brother.

I just left the ticket stubs out all together because there was some in there that I’m like...no??? They’re kinda hard to read at times anyway because a lot of them are super faded.

Again, this is not even remotely everything but I wanted to list some of the ones I’ve jotted down over time.

Screen-grab at the top of this post is yet another excellent example of Hunter giving Kevin ‘love me eyes.’

Also look at his stupid little bejeweled skull.

Look at it. This silly fucker.

He’s just like me fr

I still see people talk about this Darius clip. It is a funny quick image right before a serious scene, but I'm also surprised I haven't seen anyone else make the same conclusion I did when it first aired

I saw this and immediately thought he was glaring up at the CATTs sign

It's literally the only thing in the direction he's standing in, the slow pan down showed it first and foremost, he's openly bitched about the name multiple times, and here he is standing there right in front of the wall it's hung high up on (which also now that I think of it, HE probably had to put the sign up there himself given it's location & his magic type is best suited for that out of all the CATTs. Oh that'd be so funny, new HC accepted, I love Darius suffering over benign shit 💜). I know his head isn't really angled up but he looks far enough away from the wall he can probably see the sign just by glancing up

Anyway, he looks like an NPC just itching for you to approach so he can say his One (1) line of dialogue all about how much he hates the name "The CATTs" before returning to just standing there aimlessly until the cut scene starts. I adore this man.
