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.

continue being a little mean to toh fans please it is really irritating how some act like its got the best writing of any modern cartoon

Daawwwww I don't have it in me. TOH fans love it for a reason, and there are legitimately good moments! It's just not the most complex or well-written show out there—which it doesn't need to be—but I also totally get your exhaustion. It gets tiring seeing people praise it so highly over and over again when it's just like...fine. It didn't do nothing but it also didn't do something, you know? It's main couple is cute and queer, but that's pretty much all there is to them. It has a fun cast of characters, but they all tend to fall into archetypes. Luz is a sweet main character, but she doesn't have any real flaws and kinda takes a back seat to Hunter and Eda (the white people lol). Her foil with Philip was interesting...but then they kinda backed off and went the "you and Belos are nothing alike" direction.

((I'm also going to answer this anon with another: ))

And It's not that an unsympathetic villian is bad, or that Belos would even be sympathetic with added backstory, it's just that...there were a lot of interesting things to explore with his character that were left hanging.

Like, while he's definitely not at all a good person, it's intriguing that he would bother to recreate his brother over and over again knowing that each time the grimwalker was going to betray him. It's intriguing that he was even willing to kill his brother to begin with (though Caleb was super underutilized in general). Like, you can give a villain depth without justifying or victimizing them (hi Finnegran from tdp, I'll also add Spider Queen & LBD here). So it just feels like a missed opportunity all across the board. It's still surprising to me that we got a confirmation on the Wittebane backstory through an unrelated background character, rather than Philip himself (who had literally possessed a main character, and mindscapes had already been well-established....the pieces were all there me thinks).

And obviously it's like, people can love something despite it's flaws, and they can cherish it for the good it has, but they still don't need to praise it as an ultimate form of media, you know? We don't need to pretend toh was this dark and complex story—it was just a story a lot of people liked and resonated with. Which I'm glad it's there for those people, and I'm glad there are options when it comes to queer pieces of media!

That said the show with the best writing of any modern cartoon is The Dragon Prince (streaming on Netflix).

Hiiii Jams 💛 what’s a random sturphy HC you haven’t shared before?

Heyyyy 💛 I have a thousand I haven't had a chance to talk about but this is the one that has been stuck in my head all afternoon:

Steve is surprised to learn as a young adult that Healing magic hurts. From the age of 12 up every cut and scrape and bruise Steve ever got was healed by Murph, usually after Grudgby practice, and it never hurt a bit so he just assumed that that's what good Healing magic is like. In reality there is always some degree of sensation, ranging from a faint tingly discomfort to re-experiencing the same injury in reverse, as the magic "undoes" the damage, but as a rule, the more the healer cares about the injured person the less it hurts

The first time Steve is injured after becoming a coven scout it's fixed by some random witch in the regiment and the healing process is AGONY and he just can't figure out why?? But then years later when he finally meets up with Murph again and they patch him up after a scrape and it doesn't hurt at all, and even they're surprised when he tells them that. And it turns out that the entire time they loved him that much that they accidentally became an unbelievably powerful Healing witch, but for only one guy specifically

[phosphorus-noodles]

also! if the entire knuckle wasn’t removed then the claws would grow back, but it would be all messed up and grow like into the flesh iirc? which would be super uncomfortable if not painful. so like if whoever declawed oli didn’t go all the way to the knuckle…

anon please you're making me feel bad for declawing my catboy,

Bard Hunter

What kind of instrument do you guys think Hunter would play?

I think about all the types of magic we never saw Hunter use in the show. Besides seeing some non specific staff magic like teleportation , creation and blast we only see him use magic that could be considered construction and have interest in potions but that’s it really.

This actually low key disappoints me because I know a boy like Hunter with such a interest in magic would know how to do so much and we didn’t get to see it. I can imagine all the original and bizarre ways he would use magic since I doubt many people has interest in teaching anything but the basics. Like yeah, he had an artificial staff but he still needs to know the spells like how we see him having to use flapjack for the first time in eclipse lake.

Oh well, that’s what we have fanfiction for

Anyways, while I don’t think Belos would care to much for Hunter to learn Bard magic as it would probably need to another artificial tool and there are other skills Hunter could learn instead.

I just think it’s fun to think about the Golden Guard or just Hunter whipping out an instrument and jamming out mid fight or for funsies.

I think Belos would have him learn some sort of church kind of instrument. Like one you could hear at a church or something in the 1600s.

Like a viol, lute, fiddle or recorder. Since these instruments are pretty old in origin and used in religious spaces which I think suits Belos.

I think Hunter would be good at this and would be commonly used in combat, I can imagine.

Now as for post-canon I can see Hunter learning a instrument as something new to learn. Even better if he can get waffles to turn into one.

I think he would be interested in some sort of string instruments.

I can imagine him vividly with a violin or lyre. Violin because I think they are very powerful intruments that can convey all sorts of tone and emotion and lyre due to the association with birds.

But yeah I love the idea of bard Hunter.

Hettie: If you say "addict-ionary" I swear I will cut you. 


Vitimir: I was actually going to say "high definition", but your answer's much better.

SCOM NEW CHAPTER!

Hello again, old friend of a friend

Link ^^^

Hettie Cuttburn was not one to show weakness. Five time winner of the Bonesborough Brawl, Hettie had only given up the title when she deemed the competition “too tame” for her liking – which was a loss for the organizers of the event who had counted on Hettie’s expertise in putting her opponents back together. Literally. 

Hunter had heard many theories as to why her head was always covered, the most popular being that she was a gorgon and her gaze would turn anyone to stone at one glance. All Hunter knew for sure was that Hettie was one of the first Coven Heads to see his face, and though Hettie herself never treated Hunter, she would always assign him a different apprentice. 

“What brings you to my doors this time, boy?” Hettie groaned.

[heather-chandlers-weirder-cousin]

Beastkeeping coven:

-all the safety restrictions for the animals. -zero safety precautions for the beastkeepers. You prolly aren’t living to sixty in that coven. -Eberwolf is just kinda a bad boss. Not actively horrible or anything, they just don’t solve anything on a good day. -they’re a relatively small coven, so they don’t get a lot of funding. The whole coven is constantly in a state of budget cuts. -Typically a pretty good community. -There tends to be clusters of beastkeepers in rural areas, there’s less of them in cities.

Potions coven:

-Safety is pretty 50/50. Depends on your job, really. -Vitmir is rarely seen in public, he seems to keep everything running somehow though. -Pretty large coven size. If you can’t pick a coven by the time you graduate, potions is a pretty safe bet. -There’s a pretty even spread of them across the isles. It’s not like they’ll ever run out of work.

Abomination coven:

-Safety is pretty abysmal. They’re normally so caught up in “can we?” That they never ask “should we?” -Darius keeps things together. He’s pretty apathetic, but it not like things are falling apart. -Big coven. Not the largest, certainly, but it’s a pretty popular tract choice. -Clusters of them in cities, they normally work in research facilities or factories.

Plant coven:

-Def not the safest coven. Not the worst, but the combination of deadly pants and Terra tend to make it a treacherous tract. -Terra is an active nightmare to work for. Titan help you if you get her angry. She does get shit done, though. -Despite all this, it’s the largest coven. You can’t pretend their magic isn’t useful in everyday life. -Like the beastkeeping coven, they tend to live in rural areas.

Bard coven:

-Pretty safe. Not like they’re working in particularly dangerous environments, normally. -Raine’s a very understanding boss, but the bard coven typically doesn’t come out on top when there’s arguments. -It’s the smallest coven. The reputation doesn’t really incentivize people to join. -Most of them live in pretty urban areas, but there’s a decent few in smaller towns.

Healing coven:

-Ironically dangerous, especially if we’re counting burnout as a danger. -Hettie is ruthless when it comes to her covenmates. She’s not the worst boss, but you want to avoid her if possible. -Middling coven size, on the smaller size. -There’s definitely more of them in cities, but you can find a healer pretty much anywhere.

Construction coven:

-Safest coven in existence. Seriously, their worker safety handbook is as tall as Mason and is required reading. -Mason is pretty strict with keeping things in order. -Mid coven size. -Their members don’t seem to cluster in any particular area, which is odd, considering the concentration of construction projects in cities.

Illusion coven:

-About as safe as a regular office worker in our realm. -Adrian is an absolute dick of a boss. He’s the type to randomly make people sing their reports, and then not fix anything. -Fairly small coven size. -There’s a pretty thin but even spread of them. You can find one almost anywhere, but it might not be easy.

Oracle coven:

-High risk of madness, but other than that you’re good. -Osran never really does anything. He’s just kinda not interfering. -It’s the third largest coven. Who doesn’t want to see the future? -They tend to live in the middle of nowhere. Like, seriously, where are all these supposed members?
