Hunter his whole life has done something guard related. From training to be a scout which are essentially foot guards to the highest ranking guard, the golden guard. He wasn’t just trained to guard he was raised guarding. It’s something he does thats probably second nature for him.
With that being said I truly believe he will continue being a guard to everyone he cares about even if it’s no longer his job and even if he barley knows that person. (gus and luz for example in labyrinth runners and hunting palismen ) It’s ingrained in him the same way sheep dogs will heard humans because it’s what they know.
So I imagine hunter instinctively standing up in front of the hexsquad unconsciously guarding. Even if they are simply hanging out. They ask him about it and he admits he does it without even noticing.
Of course a lot of these behaviors stem from PTSD like him being hyper vigilante and being prepared to defend from any possible attack but even in moments he knows he safe he’s always watching making sure they don’t get hurt by something little like falling and making sure their all secure. He’s not even violent just defensive.
He keeps them organized even if can’t keep himself organized, he becomes aware of their mannerism in a objective way, he guides them. They basically become his herd in way.
Even if Luz could be seen being the ‘leader’, Hunter is always next to her ever so slightly in front, like a guard.
Luz is also protective but that’s a habit she developed while again for Hunter it’s ingrained.
It’s quite cute actually if you ignore his past, him being a protective friend willing to defend the people he cares about no matter what.
In short Hunter got that Doberman/collie instinct in him lol
Any who, love me a protective Hunter
I imagine hunter sleeping like a dead person in a casket or of a medieval man dying of the bubonic plague. Idk he gives me that energy.
To make this a Huntlow post, in contrast Willow sleeps starfish style and takes up 70% of the bed while hunter is in the corner in his lil casket position.
When the gang have a sleep over and he falls asleep first (a miracle cuz how is that possible, probably was drugged ) and they have to leave the room laughing cause who sleeps like that
I also imagine with his stonesleeper lungs he stops breathing or looks like he’s stops breathing in his sleep. Added on with his pale complexion and eye bags he does look like a corpse (this gave Gus a heart attack at first witness)
Idk I thought this was funny
Saw 6, then Barbie, and finally a nature documentary.
hangout at the Noceda house! What movie are they watching? 👀
Doctor who reference in an Owl House thread. Fantastic!
Let’s just say Willow really likes Hunter’s Halloween Costume :)

Sequel to this
For people who don't know Pokémon, Mewtwo isn't a naturally occurring pokémon, he's a clone! He was created from another pokémon's dna to be used as a weapon---I think Hunter and Vee would would relate.
[image ID: a 3 page comic depicting the hexsquad plus Luz's hatched palisman, the egg-bodied pokémon Togepi. Luz holds Togepi in her arms and addresses her friends saying, "Guys, I want you all to meet my palisman! Togepi! Amity, Willow, Hunter, and Vee all oo and aww over it while Gus asks, "Cool! Is it based on a human realm animal?" Luz answers, "Well, actually no. He's a pokémon!" The five friends stare at her blankly. Luz realizes her mistake and continues, "Oh right that doesn't mean anything to you. A pokémon is... Hmm... maybe it would be easier to just show you guys a few episodes. Oo and the movies!" Several hours later Pokémon The First Movie is on the tv screen at the part where the pokémon Mewtwo says, "I see now the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Hunter and Vee are sobbing. Amity leans in to Luz to whisper, "Are they gonna be alright?" Luz says, "Maybe this was a bad idea.]
They all cry themselves to sleep that first night...
[image ID: a fully colored digital drawing of the hex squad along with their palismen all sleeping while cuddled together on a pile of blankets and pillows. From left to right, Amity lays on her back and has one arm around Luz, who is laying on her side and has both hands around Amity's torso. Hunter is laying on his side facing the other way so he is back to back with Luz. Next to him, Gus lays on his back, while Willow lays on her side on Gus's other side. Hunter and Willow each have an arm protectively over Gus and have intertwined their hands over his belly. Ghost rests near Amity's shoulder, Flapjack near Hunter's belly, Emmiline near Gus's head, and Clover on Willow's torso. Amity and Luz wear pajamas that seem to fit well, Hunter wears a t-shirt and sweat pants that are too short for him, and Gus and Willow wear pajamas that are too big for them. All five kids have various bandages on their faces and arms, as well as tear stains on their cheeks.]
