Huntlynn is a forbidden romance because one: they’re from two different classes (royalty and commoner, no Hunter isn’t even any type of future duke or lord he’s literally just a commoner), and two: their stories were NEVER supposed to intermingle.

The Destiny system was supposed to keep them apart bc in monarchies if too many people marry and have kids ‘outside’ of the ‘approved’ pool of people, power actually spreads and becomes harder to funnel.

Their love is an inconvenience and threat to both systems, hence it’s forbidden nature. This can even be tied to racism as while we never get a clearer description of Hunter’s family, he’s at the least some sort of ambiguous vs almost all royalty being clearly fair haired and skinned and in eye colour.

You can make Huntlynn as queer and as different as you like but you cannot ignore the fact their forbidden nature is literally classism exemplified.

Because the thing that annoyed me so much was his view of not wanting to harm animals (which I mean now that I think about it if they can talk…) but him not giving a flying fuck about cutting down trees

LIKE HELLO

INSANE

I was raised with indigenous ideals of eating meat ETHICALLY. so if you hunt a deer, you eat all the meat, you use the skin, you use the fur so you’re not being wasteful

You also have to be considerate of which trees you’re cutting down so as to not ruin the whole forest

Someone please give me native Hunter who instead of going against his parents views, challenges Ashlynn’s Eurocentric because in the real world at least, vegan options can be just as bad and non ethical as not vegan options if not worse

Native Hunter is my favourite headcanon because the amount of Hunter’s I know from the rez? That’s an indigenous name I mean COME ON.

Also imagine how cute it would be for him to make cedar baskets for Ash </3

Anyways I know that this was unrealistic for me as a kid to want (I live in a town where the population is 60% aboriginal and growing up I assumed the rest of the worlds population was the same… not knowing that 60% of Americans think the indigenous don’t exist anymore? crazy work) but PLEASE I need to see this in the fandom more often.

(not all of them are necessarily romantic, but you can take it as you want)

Hunter: gave his to Ashlynn after she gives hers to him.

Maddie: gave hers to Raven once the party ended.

Cedar: she keeps it to herself (after being encourage by Cerise) saying she's not yet sure so yeah. Little hc that she keeps it in her room but has a little bit of paint.

Cerise: give it to Cedar to demonstrate that she loves her and to encourage her to do what was more comfortable for her.

Raven: she gave hers to Maddie.

Briar: gave hers to Apple.

Kitty: help Lizzie to steal some hearts but she keep hers to herself.

Ginger: she gave hers to Hopper but anonymously next day.

Blondie: Was robbed by Lizzie lmao (she wasn't actually sure of who she wanted to give her heartblossom)

Hopper: gave his to Briar.

Holly: thought on giving hers to Daring but she saw that a lot of girls have theirs, so she went to her bedroom and decided to send it to her sister with a really cute letter.

Darling: robbed by Lizzie lmao (she was going to give hers to Rosabella though)

Rosabella: gave hers to Darling, just for Darling to give Rosabella's heartblossom back to her BCS Lizzie robbed Darling's lmao (Rosabella was very confused)

Daring: received so many hearts for a bunch of girls but didn't gave his, yet he was quite impressed of the fact that Lizzie got more hearts than him (he didn't pay attention to the fact that she robbed them), then when he has his date with her, he would be very confused (and a little jealous) asking how she got so many hearts

Lizzie: She gave hers to Duchess when she came back from the party and seeing her really sad (she kept the others though JAJSJAJAAJ)

Melody: she gave hers anonymously, no one actually knows who she sent it to.

Farrah: she planned to give hers to Ashlynn but she saw next day that Faybelle wasn't invited again so she gave hers (somehow she managed to make Faybelle more upset lol)

Humphrey: he thought of giving it to Apple but since Dexter and Blondie got robbed, he used his to put it as a decoration for the place they usually talk about the blog, and stuff.
