to the stars that listen

this shit is a FANTASY for a reason. i’m not about to put my own moral code on characters who don’t even exist, in a land that certainly doesn’t exist because that takes all the fun out of suspending my disbelief

thank you for indulging me nonnie.

OK so there has to be something said for the half half thing going on with hunt. he's got one gold eye and one black, one pointed ear and one rounded. i'm not sure what to make of this exactly but we know hunt's backstory never really got into aside from his mother being killed and him joining the rebellion. so going off that i think there's something about his father maybe being fae (hence the ear). i've always held the theory that either bryce or hunt is the missing asteri sibling.

based off the HoEB ending i'm thinking more and more it's bryce (star power and king of autumn etc etc) BUT i can't discredit the way hunt's past is an enigma.

his arms! one coated in lightening (umbra mortis my love) and the other isn't but holding a snake. why is this the 'fae' side of him?? i don't know but also is he running from something? cursed by something? what is it about this side of him exactly? to me his gaze is set off to the side, unlike the HoEB cover where byrce is looking directly front-ward. could just be artist interpretation but also i doubt it, why would hunt not look to the front like bryce? is he looking at her perhaps? looking into his past? I MUST KNOW. (i take it back my version was just severely low quality)

and onto his chest. we can see in the HoEB cover bryce has a lock in the middle of her chest, and hunt doesn't. instead, he has an almost key looking thing and of course i have eyes and i've maintained that they're mates from the start but this is giving me 'hunt is bryce's missing piece' vibes. and obviously their attempt at being platonic is absolute bullshit.
