For you, hate-HATE
(A message to Nuwa-completed comic)
S5 SPOILERS AHEAD
Hunter is scheming something truly blasphemous
Only one tablet in the Memory Scroll he corrupted remains intact-it’s his reminder, his motivation. An accidental discovery when he used the scroll to track down Wukong’s “loose ends” planted a seed of hatred within him-one that’s been growing unchecked for four months.
As the one of Nine Heads wishes to hasten the Cycle, Hunter wishes to end it
Forever
Prevent the predestined sacrifice before it could ever be considered. He refuses the concept of the “Sacrificial Lamb”-and condemns those who dare create something like it-only to their own benefit. If he has it his way, MK will no longer be the Harbinger
He just doesn’t understand the consequences for himself should he succeed in this scheme
Update: He found a way in :)
Favorite Parent-Child dynamic
the implications
Macaque, Hunter and MK, Wukong
The Forsaken God
Part 2
The Law of Cycles is no more
Please stand by, a new Principal is forming to take its place…
The More Things Change….
Do you guys remember how Hunter loathed MK when all this started?
Yeah. Hunter would do pretty much anything for him now
Funny how these things work out
I got recommended this a while ago (but was busy so I followed the blog to find it again) and just binged the entire thing. I think you’re doing really good work and I look forward to the next installation!
My friend, this means the world to me, you don’t even know.
The fact that my self indulgent AU is liked by anyone other than myself and Aeon is still such a baffling concept to me, but it makes me happy at the same time that people enjoy it!
Hello
It was some time since last time I left ask but
Can we got some more informations how is Mk is doing in this au
And some more siblink Bonding Between Hunter and Xioatian
(Ignore how long this took I’m sorry D:)
MK is doing just fine! He’s had no trauma outside of Lady Bone Demon (plus Hunter getting stabbed in front of him…) and is living a relatively normal life outside of the occasional demon fight and training. He’s going steady with Red Son and outside of dates or hangouts or training, he spends a lot of time lurking around the Shadow Theatre for the chance to antagonize Jack when Hunters not looking.
Later today I plan on releasing a “Before and After” piece as a sort of tribute to how Hunter and MK’s brotherly bond has evolved since the series first started-so keep your eyes peeled!
This is completely cannon for DT
He LOVES stuffed animals-every single one he owns has a name
He currently only has one, a Wukong Plush he altered to look like Macaque
Probably weird but I gotta be honest, I really like that you have some of the Previous Golden Guards kindda fucked up
There's a common fandom in toh fandom that all the Golden Guards were all Good and, honestly, I always felt that cheapen Hunter's character growth since that bassically say that Hunter is good by nature not by choice, if that make sense
I really enjoy your darker take on Hunter, he's been raised to be an attack dog and that does things to a person
Oh yeah a few of em be REAL messed up
I tend to make two classifications for Golden Guards and how Belos chooses to raise them based on how early they came out.
Three and below-heartless killers raised only to follow orders
Four and above/clear personality quirks-raised to be Caleb substitutes meant to make Belos feel better about himself for a while
DT Hunter is grouped into that first category-and due to that, killing someone is always an option for solving problems because he doesn’t see anything wrong with doing that. He considers killing Hannibal a “warning shot” against the Heylin, and only permanently damaged Wuya’s eye so she could still run and tell the forces of evil what happened
…he doesn’t really consider how killing certain beings could backfire on him though. He’s more focused on keeping those he loves safe by any means necessary
"committed horrific atrocities"
Please, please, I need to know, what do you mean by this
One had a liking for boiling victims alive in the sea, one gassed entire towns with a poisonous smoke that killed by attacking the nervous system, and one was a remorseless assassin with a kill count in the high triple digit range-who almost always looked his target in the eyes as they died
Belos raised them to be that way
He also raised Diverging Tides Hunter that way as well-Hunters hands are not clean, but he’s managed to keep a compassion about him that those three did not
I have literally some how missed all of this despite being on this hell site at least an hour a day
Can I ask about the eyes? Once I noticed the patterns, I keep fixating on it
Any grimwalker with the “special eyes” in that piece has committed horrific atrocities
The pair of eyes dead center (full eye glow, not just the iris’) belong to the tiny remnant of Caleb that still exists
