#Hunter missing the mark

[hunter-nightwind]

Hunter thinking to himself while hammering in his forge:

"Fae are hurt by iron, which is why I have that sign at the door and the offerings outside to keep them safe and satisfied... But wait! Elves are regarded as fae, and I'm in here hammering at a red hot horse shoe! So why does this not hurt me?"

Hunter looks down at his tough safety gloves and has a revelation

"OH MY GODDESS!!! FAE GET HURT BY IRON BECAUSE THEY DON'T USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN IT'S RED HOT! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TEACH THEM HOW TO BLACKSMITH SAFELY!"

so fucking stupid that they made join the hunt the tagline for late show supernatural btw. hunting being a metaphor for the military is pretty explicit, it's not even close to subtle. dean's constantly referred to as a soldier by other characters, a lot of young hunters we see talk about how they only got into the life because of their family, most of them at least in the early seasons are strongly prejudiced towards monsters and have a very us against them mentality, the main thing that cas and dean initially bond over is the fact that theyve been taught to view their sense of self worth in the context of their capacity for violence and following orders. a LOT of the characterization of hunters in the first couple of seasons centers around their desensitization of violence towards non-human beings and prejudice against them actually. i mean for god's sake sam and dean call their own father 'sir'

so much of dean's narrative is about how being groomed to be a hunter has ruined his life and sense of self-worth and made him feel really dehumanized. the show is pretty up front about it being the root of his problems with toxic masculinity, anger issues, and inability to be emotionally vulnerable. he is the POSTER CHILD for why no one should ever get into hunting so how the fuck did the late show writers miss the key themes so badly. this is the anti-war show idiots maybe think for a second before you make that your tagline

if i could write modern-setting-with-no-power AU where Zoro and Perona are both famous, but the public in general don't know they're siblings, best believe i'd make one where Zoro shows up in Perona's business account like this not because he wants to be perceived as a loving brother but because if he had to fight his way up tooth and nail (literally physically) to have no-lose-streaks reputation as "MMA Fighter" then might as well get comfortable with scaring the shit out of people with threats context-not-provided whatsoever*

(* Perona's been followed by creepy stalkers so he becomes her personal bodyguard for a whole week while they wait for their rich-as-fuck dad, Mihawk, to do something about it)

Hello Yahsiki! I must wonder, do you have logs for each spirit you encounter? A collection of knowledge such as that might help in future endeavours, whether yours or others.

I suppose we'll never know.

i miss you, im sorry | luke hughes x adelaide hunter

based on the gracie abrams song (kindaish) and also based kinda on tsitp :) this is a drafted story im gonna post to wattpad 👀 but this is when luke is leaving UMich for good, and doesnt say anything to adelaide since the pair broke up. giving you some angst kinda😊 this is my first time writing off hand and not using tv show plots for my storyline so pls lmk if you like it and if u want more !!!

once the game finished, adelaide rushed to the dressing room to congratulate the boys for winning the game. ade stood outside watching the doors slam lightly open, the girl smiled seeing mackie and rutger walk out. the boys didnt looks so happy. “whats with the long faces? you guys killed it today!!!” the blonde girl smiled stopping the boys in their places. the two were whispering to each other ade though she might of heard, “she doesnt know?” “he didnt tell her?” come from the pair. before she could ask mark, ethan and duker came out with the same look on their faces. the rest of the team exited the dressing room. adelaide looked at the team, not seeing that curly hair she still adored. he always stuck out to her. ‘for adelaide, luke is the sun. and when the sun comes out, the stars disappear.'

“wheres luke?” the boys looked around at each other, mark took a step up closer to the girl. “he just left dells. you didnt know? hes leaving for jersey tonight.” the words simply didnt sound real to her. why didnt luke say anything to her before he left? her hand started shaking, the 43 jersey on her back was itchy. she didnt feel real. sure the pair broke up, but the girl always thought it was mutual. they couldnt not just stop being friends, their families being friends they were always connected almost like a single thread of gold tied them together. “how long ago.” the words came out inbetween shaky breaths. “just now. addie you might make it to him.” ethan smiled grabbing the girl’s shoulders in hopes that would make her feel better. “move out of the way!” ade pushed through the group of boys and started running down the corridor. tears were hot and falling from her face.

her footsteps got louder. her ears were ringing, she heard other footsteps behind her knowing the team was following her. this damn jersey was making her so itchy. adelaide wants the best for her boy, but she wished he could’ve said goodbye to her. she was his biggest supporter. even still wearing his jersey to their games. after they broke up, she loved seeing face when he realizes whos jersey she was wearing. it warmed her up inside. but now this jersey was making her ill. she looked up seeing his curly hair, she stopped in her place as she felt like she was gonna be sick. all the blonde wanted to do was say “i miss you. i just want my boy back.” but she knew that couldnt happen.

I MISS YOU

luke had just left the dressing room. he finished saying his goodbyes to his teammates. he was gonna miss playing with his friends, but the NHL was his dream. the curly haired boy kept walking down the corridor saying goodbye to the people walking the other way from him. he couldnt bring himself to say goodbye to his girl scratch that not his girl, but she will always still be his girl. the boy was surprised she showed up wearing his jersey. he thought she wouldve asked mark for his or anyone else on the team. but even when they werent talking she still wore his jersey loud and proud.

loud footsteps approached him. “LUKE!!!” he knew that voice all too well. “WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME.” that made him stop in his place. luke shook his head and kept walking. the footsteps followed, adelaides tears fell quicker. he could tell she was crying, he cant give an reaction. he doesnt want to be a dick, but he knows once he turns around hes gonna pull addie in for a hug, pick her up and kiss her. leaving UMich was hard for him just because of her. he missed his girl. luke just wanted addie back with him in his arms, watching some dumb movie as the girl can recite it with like back of her hand. the way she looked in the morning. going out for breakfast. her watching him and the boys practice.

the no contact with each other was unbearable. the lingering tension was crazy. the ex couple both could pounce on each other in any minute and kiss each other so passionately. ade stayed in her place looking at the boy who stood still like time stopped. she wiped her eyes in hopes he would speak. “lu, are you gonna say anything?” her voice broke. luke felt so shitty, but he knows this is for the better. he would stop everything for adelaide hunter but his dream is standing in the way of the two. he wants to leave UMich but if he even looks at the blonde he would just cave in and chase right after her. “ill see you at the lake house el.” and with that luke hughes opened the doors, walked out tears forming in his eyes. he blinked a few times in hopes they would go away.

IM SORRY

“LU.” adelaide chased after him, getting stopped by mark. the taller boy pulled her into his chest, holding her face as he watched the hughes boy walk away from UMich for good. “dells you okay?” he pushed hair out of her face looking down at the girl. “no.” adelaide let go of mark and took that jersey off, leaving her in her blue long sleeve she had on under it. she looked down at the jersey, her fingers ran down the numbers and his name, as tears welled in her eyes. “come on. im sure he will reach out soon.” mark wrapped his arm around his shoulders, walking to where the rest of the group was. “we can see him on the big screen too ade! this is his dream. i knew he meant well.” duker pulled the girl out of marks arm and hugged her. “its gonna work out in the end. just trust me.”

I'm writing (and on the red wine) while listening to Animal Crossing music with rain sounds, and I'm thinking how damn happy I am that Death Mark 2 established/confirmed the friendship between Moe, Shou and Ai. (I'm really happy how they built on the connections from the first game!)

Like, I just knew they would be best friends/siblings! They would play Animal Crossing together!

Shou, despite appearances, would work hard to get his island up to a 5-star rating and keeping it at 5, taking pride in it. Moe would focus on creating a heavily occult themed island (much to Shou’s despair) and Ai would make her's cute with lots of flowers and focusing on making a lot of detailed fashion designs, like the Love&Hero costumes among other things.

I'm very excited for the DLC, but am I the only one who think NG should've been the one to get a new DLC? 😭
