[jess-the-vampire]

Do you think we're bound in every universe?

[bananadramaaa]

could you draw William? id love to see him in your art style! /NF

Hopefully, I understood you correctly and you meant pilot!Hunter from TOH (I don't know any other William characters).

ALSO I just … NEED to mention this creature. LOOK AT HIM. WHAT IS HE. WHO IS HEEE? So this is what is supposed to be Beta Hunter or whatever. Interesting, but even more so that apart from his familial connection to Obron and his eventual bond with Luz (that starts off a bit antagonistic) he is SO different to what ended up in comparison to the other characters. But you know who he does remind me of though?

Red overalls. Blue eyes. JAGGED KNIFE SWORD. Avid witch HATER. ENGLISH?? ANYWAY-

This kiiiind of convinces me that Belos and Philip were originally different characters because ?? What is this. BECAUSE HE JUST STRAIGHT UP SOUNDS LIKE HOW I’D IMAGINE TWEEN PHILIP TO BE LOL a bratty witch hater who is too proud to ask for help, but will happily accept it. Except he would have gotten to actually interact and bond (EEEEP🥹!) with Luz as humans out of place. What a tragedy !!

He sounds like such a little shit. But he’s cute! I ADORE HIM. All this time I thought William was the original Hunter… but this sounds more like he was the original Philip 😆 but contained in a time capsule instead of allowed to grow into a menace.

Alas, poor William went from witch lunatic, to knight prince, to being eradicated from existence. Such is fate. But parts of him live in Hunter and Philip. But just like the non existent Wittebane story… Won’t stop me from wondering what if !

Finally managed to finish this sketch fanart of lil Philip Wittebane and William Wittebane (outfit design by @brother-bon3s )

The new design for William was SO cute, especially compared to that eyesore of an outfit he usually has, that I had to draw him!

Also, I have seen some interpretations of William being an additional youngest Wittebane, but I actually see him much more like a middle child, I feel like it would fit their dynamic better and he just has annoying middle child energy to me (in hypothetical canon tho I’d see him more as a cousin tho or some more or less distant relative or step sibling). I also made sure he had the same eye color of Pip but the same hair color of Caleb, as him sharing those similarities with both would be quite cute in my opinion.

ANYWAY hope you enjoy this, I found the pose on Pinterest and thought it would fit them SO well!

Him having positive interactions with my lil pip is lowkey the only thing that redeems him to my eyes, I cannot deny they look quite cute!

Let me know what you think~ 🦊

Any thoughts on the TOH pitch bible and pilot episode that were leaked? Anything you thought it was better than in the final product, or that the final product improved on?

Here is the pilot episode along with a lot of other Disney shows for those that missed it.

And the pitch bible

There were quite a few things I liked about the pilot better: the biggest being that Luz is actually bullied for her interests instead of pulling dangerous stunts that just make her look bad. Also, there's actual bigotry against humans in the Boiling Isles! Luz has to wear a disguise when sneaking into witch school! Lilith is more of a threat in this pilot than she was in the show! Luz and Eda feel more natural in the pilot; Eda still proclaims herself as the most powerful witch in the isles but it's obviously her ego talking while it's taken more seriously in the show. It feels like it's having more fun with itself instead of having an air of self importance.

A few things the actual show did better: Luz entering the Demon Realm. In the pilot, she just stumbles into it after trying to return Amity's passport (who is still a witch just attending a human high school for some reason). Luz trying to get her book back from Owlbert and being led directly to Eda works better for her character and the themes of the show. Also, in the pilot, Eda could just easily conjure a door to the human realm, which lowers the stakes a bit.

As for the pitch bible, it certainly is ambitious with how its world is set up: beta Belos was called Obron and was a councilor to the real ruler of the world, Emperor Pupa, who is currently in larval form and only its councilor's can understand what it's saying. Naturally, Obron is the real power behind the throne and plans on invading the human realm by possessing the Titan's body and he apparently needs a human soul to do that...

Yeah, I can see why this was simplified in the final version.

I do like some of the designs in the pitch bible better. For example, here's Willow, a.k.a. Paulina:

Here's Tibbles:

And lastly, even though everyone says this is beta Hunter, look me in the eyes and tell me that's not Baby Philip "Kill All Witches" Wittebane:

Come on, red outfit, blue eyes, hatred of witches, really hundreds of years old, the FREAKIN' DAGGER/SWORD.

That's a proto-Philip who was split into 3 characters, he's not simply beta Hunter.

Overall, both the pitch bible and the pilot are a mixed bag; the pitch bible has some overly ambitious ideas that (thankfully) became more grounded, but it also has more interesting character designs. The pilot has a lot going on in a mere 20 minutes but it's more fun to watch imo simply because it's not taking itself too seriously.

Despite all of these what-ifs, a show is only as good as how well it carries out its ideas. Toh has a lot of creativity and compelling concepts but its biggest struggle was always in its execution.

(P.S. any accusations that Disney made Dana add Hexside are now null and void because both the pitch bible and pilot had Lilith as the Headmaster of Amity's magic school)

This is probably out of character but I imagine Paulina feeling so guilty for accidentally hurting William and her holding his face telling him she's sorry idk and he's just. Freaking out. He's a loser and is blushing so bad, he didn't even gaf about the scar because he's too logical for that and knows it wasn't her intention to hurt him lol

I can’t draw face holding because I’m stupid so I drew this

He’s trying to comfort her… he’s just also stupid.. it’s a tragic story .. he was forced to eat cement when he was 6.. I’m sure u understand

[jess-the-vampire]

i'm losing my mind rn you have no idea

forget the beta luz and amity aus where they're the older siblings of the canon characters, where's my aus about this utter insanity?

[sleraly]

Beta Hunter/William meets King and Hunter! Our little puritan boy doesn't realize he shouldn't mess with The King of Demons... Not because King is dangerous... HUNTER IS DANGEROUS.

When I watched the pilot and read TOH bible, I just LOST IT! I felt compelled to draw William meeting Esquizo Hunter and Esquizo King.

William as the lost Wittebane brother AU 🤪 some doodles

William is the youngest. He is very clingy and always wants to impress his big brothers, specially Philip who occasionally remembers he hates him for taking his spot as the baby.™️
