WIP

Animating this Hag, shameless plug in to my instagram where I share lots of WIPs 👀

Oh I just had an evil thought about the Ghoul AU

Belos uses food as a main manipulation tactic for keeping Hunter "efficient and successful" on his missions. It has not been revealed where that meat comes from (if I'm not missing or forgetting anything).

I would totally believe that since petrification is admittedly rarely done if at all in the present day, Belos would feed him the meat of prisoners. Maybe he would amputate them and use those removed limbs to simultaneously feed Hunter less and still keep the meat fresh---objectively, it's being efficient with resources and punishing him for underperforming.

How fucked up would it be if (assuming that the ingredients required to create Grimwalkers are reusable and that the process is worth the time investment) Belos feeds him other Grimwalkers. What if he had tried it previously with the bodies of failed specimens? Would they have been able to tell the difference?

Sorry for the ramble, I just woke up from a nap and had a brrrrrr brain moment

Correct for the most part! The Emperor coven is already known to have secret petrifications of Wild witches so it would make sense for some of them to be executed in different ways for reasons. I don’t think he’d be bother to have limbs amputated, rather why not just kill them if he’s already fine with doing that.

Though the idea of “reformed” wild witches(aka those forced into covens) leaving the conformatorium with missing limbs and being told that’s just punishment is all sorts of dystopian. Though, I always like the idea that the most wild of witches would just “disappear” and the rest, lesser ones would be forced into covens or kept imprisoned. They all get arrested but have different fates depending on severity of their crimes.

After Hunter carvings arise, Belos has a select few witches hanged and taken to the morgue where they could be butchered by him or Hunter (a form of punishment) for food privately.

I always saw Grimwalkers being a limited product due to having very limited sources. I mean there aren’t many palistorm trees, selkidomous are rare, stonesleeper lungs where already limited at the start and might degrade over time, and the galdorstones are difficult to obtain. Realistically, I think Belos could only have a max of two grimwalkers at a time since he’s reusing parts.

Also the horror that Hunter’s body parts had been reused multiple times for past Golden Guards is too horrific to pass up. I think Belos harvests the corpses for these parts after killing them, all besides the bone since that’s too tedious for what it’s worth. So as much as he would like to make Hunter cannibalize other grimwalkers for experiments, he can’t do that unfortunately without further degrading a limited source.

(I think he would have had more sources in the past where he would have been able to do experiments on the grimwalkers until these materials eventually became unusable and he had to be more cautious on what he used his remaining materials on, much to his dismay)

So the best he could do is make Hunter eat the bones. Yes our boy eats bones, plenty of carnivorous animals do and it’s a good source of calcium. Though he can’t survive off them, thats an incredibly deficient diet. Since Hunter is actually consuming something that’s the same species as him, this is genuine cannibalism and it makes him incredibly sick.

Hunter is unaware of this of course, assuming it’s some random witch bone that tastes weirdly gross and is also a bit aged for his liking(not like he has the option to be picky)

Like I said, it makes him sick. Like he’s been poisoned sick. Through these are just bones and who’s to say that Belos doesn’t have grimwalker organs and flesh, preserved somewhere in storage. Might explore that possibility in the future.

A high effort shit post based off of this post I saw a while back and tagged Hunter core.

love writing belos even though there is such a difficulty to it? the haughtiness of it. the melodrama. the ever-constant feeling of everything else being inferior to him. the carefulness of it at the same time, like a craft, a honed weapon.

there is such a calm terror to his tone? he doesn't stress his words often, but the intensity is there throughout. he speaks like a preacher, always on the side that knows more, knows better. each word is specially chosen for the most precise of messages, vague and specific and layered alike. never a mistake, always a parable.

even his outbursts only come through expressing more intense emotion, and there comes the stress of things, syllables sharper and tone more volatile, hard in it's setness; like a story that cannot be moved from it's predestined ending. he's so removed from his emotions, from his humanity, that you can literally pick it apart in his speech and speaking patterns.

Now I come to the question. Do I make an official fanfic for my Possessed!Hunter AU? I’d post a chapter everyday (12 PM AUS time)

Edit: it would be cross-posted on here and Wattpad cause why not

Continued AU[!] Characters at Homestuck.

In fact, it all started with me thinking that Belos was a bit like the Condesce.

💔They are charismatic.

💔Both have enormous power in their hands.

💔Both have just great horns!

💔Both have someone who is under their influence(?) Hunter/Ψiioniic (both are gold, by the way....)

Philip Wittebane (Emperor Belos) – Fuchsia

Hunter – Gold

In this AU, Belos is still the Emperor, and Hunter is a young psionic and descendant of Caleb (as I said before). Hunter is afraid of Belos and thinks he's creepy, and they have a cold relationship.

The Emperor only keeps Hunter around because Caleb asked him to, that's all.

Hunter is a very weak psionic, but he runs all sorts of errands just by moving around the huge Imperial ship, he's something of a messenger. It's enough to keep him busy while they conquer space. The rest of his time is spent talking with Caleb, studying all sorts of books about strategy and conquest.

The fact that I drew Hunter possessed by Belos in September 2021 (before S2b) but didn’t post it here because it felt too far-fetched and then proceeded to almost forget that I predicted this shit until I looked through my old photos and went “oh yeah” (like just now)

I also had an unfinished animatic for the theory. I was right about Hunter, but my silly ass also thought Caleb got possessed XD (cuz my theory was that Belos made grimwalkers and hijacked their bodies to escape his curse and live forever. Caleb just was the poor soul that unwillingly started Belos’s little tradition)

Ew old art tho :/

Holy shit how come I didnt think of this

same bitches different font

(seriously Hunter and Vanitas need to talk about their raging Father Figure issues)
