Writing Hunter being a casual dad is challenging… mostly because of describing it…

Like he’s still Hunter but now he’s got a little baby strapped to his chest and Willow is worried about all the things she forgot to pack but Hunter has put his scout hat back on and has pre-packing for a trip down to a perfect routine…

He’s like Peter B. Parker.

SCOM SIDE STORY FINAL CHAPTER! "And this is my four leaf clover"

RULERZREACHF4N to hello_willow: WiLlow …

Before considering what to say next, Hunter looked at the time and shook his head. He deleted the message and made another attempt at cleaning, only to hear his own scroll buzz on the table. 

hello_willow: Knock knock. 

A matching knock tapped on the front door. Raising an eyebrow, Hunter padded quietly to open it, and there, under the light of the Noceda’s porch – bundled in a thick jacket and a woolen hat in the shape of a bee, stood Willow Park. Her breath hung heavy in the air.

No joke though, I think Hunter would not think twice about being on diaper duty.

It’s what needs to be done. It makes A happy to be clean and cared for.

He sings to her and they “chat”… she smiles.

After he snuggles back with Willow and reads a book.

All the best stuff that comes with being a dad and he doesn’t think twice about the icky part, because he literally had to stand in the throne room and watch Belos turn into a violent slime monster.

Dirty diapers and happy baby? No problem.

Working on BoTLD and imagining that teenage Hunter would have a Wednesday Addams disdain for Puritans the way Wednesday is with Pilgrims.

(Yes, I know there’s some distinct differences between the two groups but the general idea remains.)

Like, a reenactment group comes in when he has a shift at Robin’s Roast and he goes all crazy, babbling about how shitty puritans were and what bs Witch Hunts were…

And the owners of the cafe won’t fire him because he’s really good at his job and popular with customers…

He takes his ranting to school, and to Palisman carving sessions with Dell…

And hanging out with Gus and on a date with Willow …

And…

Yo! So I am smack in the beiging a SCOM mini pre-story involving the Noceda Siblings antics.

Preview Below.

Luz had wondered if her mother had picked up on their little scheme. Perhaps it was all the times they’d been running errands with her and Luz had begun to mutter the words, “Fuck you, Philip.” under her breath everytime they drove past that Titan-damned monument?

Vee was the first to catch on. She’d been in the Human Realm for longer, and had some time to build up her confidence as a Noceda. After Belos’ death, Luz and Vee would stay up late night sketching out plans for this grand event. What they would write. How they would do it. 

Giggling over a cup of hot cocoa, Luz’s with extra marshmallows, they spread out an old edition of the Gravesfield Gazette – the local newspaper that featured a photograph on the front page of the statue that stood in the middle of town.

The statue of Caleb and Philip Wittebane. 

The basement stairs groaned as the door opened. “What are you two laughing about?” Hunter crept up from behind. His hair was a total mess and his pajama pants were dragging along the floor. He squinted at the paper and his eyebrows shot up.

 “Oh great.” Vee grumbled. “Now Hunter’s gonna narc on us.”

“What? No” Hunter grumbled. He grabbed a banana off the kitchen table, casually peeling it before taking a big bite. “I don’t even know what ‘narc’  is.” He explained. 

Luz eyed her sister. Then her brother. She drew her hands to her lips and sucked in a long breath. “Okay.” She began. “You know how every time we go into town we need to look at him?”

 “Yeeeessssss?” Hunter narrowed his eyes. “Where exactly are you going with this, Luz?”

“We wanna let everyone in Gravesfield know what a tool he was and write it all over the statue!” Vee said quickly. 

“Vandalism, eh?” Hunter sighed. 

“Yes.” Luz shot back. “You got a problem with that boy scout?”

Proud owners of the noceda family vandalism kit... WIP

All started with this nonsense... I blame @childlikegoblinqueen

Which 1980s cult movie does Hunter like the best?

SCOM Reader's Poll! For Science.

The False GG Arc has come full circle! There's a few more to close up before SCOM ends, but this one marks the beginning of the end!

For some self indulgent curiosity, and just because ...

What's been your favorite arcs so far?

Feel free to post spoiler free comments if you'd like -- or reblog.

[childlikegoblinqueen]

Willow: It’ll all work out! My dads had no idea what they were doing when I was born and I’m okay.

Hunter: Okay! So I’m making all of her onesies and socks and stuff out of organic fabrics and we’ve gotta get some free range griffins to make sure that the eggs are super fresh…

Also, I don’t want to put too much pressure on you Willow, so we can supplement her *goes red* feedings with spider milk formula, but I’m milking the spiders myself so you can get some rest. Oh! What kind of spiders give the best milk? Maybe the free range griffins could provide the spiders? And I’m making all her food from stuff grown organically in our garden… gotta make sure she’s got all the physical contact. Babies need lots of love, so I’m making a sling.

One for each of us and also a double sling so we can carry her together?

Willow: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sharing again because it breaks me!

Ahhhh there’s so much in here! The heavy steps, how his shoulders are slumped. His eyes.

But also how Belos using his name fills him with dread.

While the coven heads mock him with things like “Brat” or “Pest”, Belos knows Hunter’s name. It’s something he’s given to him (like all the other “gifts” that Belos has bestowed upon his nephew) and it’s used to twist and manipulate Hunter.

When he tells Luz his name is Hunter, it’s like a small bit of Belos’ hold on him is broken.

Imagine how that falls away as others (first Flapjack, then the others he lets in) use his name with love.

Just a thing to consider since I’ve waited over 500k words to release the Huntlow baby’s name in SCOM!

Theres always been a reason for it.

💕💕💕

Its been a while since i published this but also i would love to have the video in here so! The animatic!

Please reblog, don’t repost :)

Coven Heads Fave Human Realm Media?

So if SCOM! Hettie is obsessed with House (think Patti and Selma with MacGyver) what’s the other Coven Heads favorite shows? Might as well throw Kimimora in there for good measure.

SCOM Micro Writing Notes: Guilt.

There's a lot of guilt explored in SCOM. Obviously, Hunter has his own guilt of his past under Belos -- but he also experiences the guilt of those around him.

With the Sigil Sickness becoming more of a concern, Hunter has to accept the fact that he branded witches under Belos -- and this led to families losing their loved ones.

Hettie is problematic in so many ways -- and even though she has a loving family, including a nephew who adores her -- Bettie implies that sometimes even those you love choose paths that make it VERY difficult for you to love them.

It's fair to assume that while Bettie (and likely her siblings) LOVE Hettie, they struggle with liking her.

In general, she has been one of the most fun background characters to write and I kind of love her family. That's about as close to OC's as I am going to get attached to.

In an earlier chapter, Hettie mentioned that not only did she have a hand in the beginnings of the Basilisk Experiments, but the "perfection" of the Sigil. She admits that there shouldn't BE a Sigil Sickness -- but her research is the reason that Bettie lost her husband (Bennie's Dad), and why the Cutburn Matriarch (The siblings mother) passed.

She may lack tact and a TON of self awareness, but it's safe to say that Hettie -- who in spite of turning her back on Hunter as an abused child soldier -- LOVES her nephew. It's safe to say she holds guilt to what she's done if even only as to how it directly affected her own kin.

And then there's Darius.

SCOM Next Chapter Preview

I was SO nervous about writing this chapter, because it marks the end of Bard! Hunter scenes in SCOM -- but it's been SO FREAKING cathartic to write.

I really hope you all like it.

Preview below.

Hunter stood out front, covered in sweat and ash staring directly into Osran’s blazing eyes. 

“You, absolute befoulment upon witchkind.” He growled. Upon his head, the fingers that made for his hair began to writhe, the fist behind his back opened. 

Hunter felt a pull from within his body, his veins had begun to expand and his body began to lift once more off the floor.

SCOM Hunter walking (eventually) around town dressed as Din Djardin with his daughter in a little homemade Grogu onesie.

But he wants the Dark Saber too.

Jasper showing up to answer a Million interview questions about Belos and the behind the scenes stuff because 1. He can eat all the white rice and boiled eggs he wants as long as he's there and 2. Raine got him tickets to Disneyworld

Hunter said "Jinkies!" it must be a clue!

Last SCOM Chapter.

Still recovering from writing that one! I was quite happy with how it came out!

Don't spoil anything in comments, but I'm happy to answer asks about it -- as long as the spoilers for the rest of SCOM don't go TOO deep.

Needless to say, this reveal has been building up FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

For those who read it, did you see the identity of the Fake GG coming?

[childlikegoblinqueen]

Cutburn Sisters asks open! 🤷‍♀️

Feeling surprisingly attached to SCOM OCs (or partial OCs like Josh).

This comes after writing a scene with Hettie and her sister which went longer than expected, because it was such a blast to write.

I’m really bad with OCs (main characters at least) but I’m having a great time with these side ones.

As I mentioned, Bettie and Bennie’s main appearance arcs are done in SCOM, but I have ideas for them if I get to a follow up.

Same with “Josh” who was a background character in TOH.

Until then? Have a question? I’ll try to answer.

Get ready for pain.
