The way Hunter is so protective and ready to take punishment, even if it's for people he's known for less than a day 😭
This kid who who is severely abused, where failed missions mean harm and yet he still let Luz flee with the palicemen (1/5)
#theowlhouse #toh #tohhunter #tohluz

He was fully prepared to take whatever punishment Belos would dish out if it meant helping someone who he barely knew and was supposed to be his enemy
Even when he is so conflicted whats right and wrong, he couldn't bear the thought of someone else being treated like he was (2/5)

And despite getting struck by Belos, the reaction he expects and is used to, he does it again in any sport
Protects the Entrails, while fully thinking that Darius will harm him and braces himself even
To him, it's ok if he gets harmed, he failed, he deserves it (3/5)

That's how his whole life is, hes used to it but the moment someone else could be in his position?
Absolutely not, he'll put himself between them and in harms way
Unfortunately this tendency to act as shield would not be coming from a good place even if his intentions are (4/5)

It's all cause Belos devalued Hunter's life so much, that he just doesnt see himself as worthy of protection and consideration
He thinks that as long as the others are safe, who cares what happens to him, his worth extends as far as how useful he is,,, (5/5)

(The way Hunter's self worth is in the negatives that it makes his big brother instinct and protectiveness into something tragic 😭
It comes from a genuine place of care but unfortunately cannot be separated for now, from the way Belos treated him; this mindset lingers)
