The idea of Hunter going to human college and suffering is honestly so funny to me, same with Vee.
Probably also includes a lot of gawking at the ears and scars if he decided to not use a concealment stone
(Not head canons, this is just for fun)
I know he’s not a parrot but I just got a random thought of Flapjack being able to talk or at least replicate noises, including human dialogue. Idk just imagine Flapjack with a parrot syrinx. Palismen are technically not real animals so hypothetically…ehh who cares this is a fanfic idea. Like the idea of an annoyed flapjack just barking at Hunter or telling him to “shut up” is funny to me.
So Flapjack often will sing to Hunter which is just whistling, however he will mimic the sound of other animals and even the sound of instruments to soothe Hunter.
To be annoying he will randomly mimic the sound of staff magic, like blasts n stuff and water dripping. Like mentioned he will randomly bark. He mimics the sounds of the other palismen like Emmlines cheeps and Ghosts meowing, it’s quite cute.
I believe Flapjack to be a chatty bird so when he isn’t talking to Hunter in the palismen bond style, he’s just making random silly sounds. Eventually he gets better at human speech and starts mimicking Hunter iconic “Human!” He starts referring to Luz as “Human!”
To be even more silly he learns the words “batata” and “mi amor” which is a bit embarrassing for Luz and Amity. Hunter laughs at this until Flapjack starts calling Hunter, “Baby” which is what Camila called him once (definitely just once). The crew laugh at him being called baby while flapjack just sits their innocently.
Flapjack soon learns more simple vocabulary like “no” “yes” “Good” “Bad” ect. He doesn’t talk much since theirs only so much his lil Syrinx can do.

Part 1
I just want to say that absolutely adore your ghoul au for hunter and it's part of my hyperfixation for him now! Also I saw you have an ao3 account. Do you plan on writing anything related to that? If not, do you mind if others write about it and credit you?
Ah thank you! Honestly, I don’t have much motivation for writing currently. I would like to write something for the Ghoul au but doubt I could keep up. Maybe a one shot in the future.
I don’t mind if other people write for the au, in fact I love that people like to write stuff for this au! Go ahead, just give me credit and let me know when it’s published, I would love to read it!
Here’s some other fics that where also inspired by this au on ao3

Average Late Redemption Hunter and Luz interaction
Did I uses a beserk screenshot as a reference? Mayhaps
Also maybe don’t try to find the angry ex child soldier whose ‘uncle’ you’ve killed on you own, just some advice. Also I realized the angle makes it look like Hunter is kneeling so pretend he was collecting something when Luz found him, I think he’d have a good grasp on potions and stuff considering that was his hexside uniform of choice.
Hunter giving Belos a second curse just to fuck with him: ya know I had to double it
Need a version of Hunter where he traumatizes Belos back or something
It’s out of character but it’s a funny thought, like after Hollow mind he says fuck it and commits acts of warfare, psychological and physical on any emperor coven member he sees. He’s been betrayed in the worse way possible and makes it everyone else’s problem.
Sees what Gus can do in labyrinth runners and instantly wants to learn how to replicate it! Heard that Lilith cursed Eda, where she get those scrolls from?! Wild magic and dangerous magic/potion books from Eda and the school, he must have have them!
I don’t even know the specifics on how this would work but all I know is that kid needs to go rogue and traumatize that hag back I say!
CW Mentions of physical abuse and vomit
…
Based off this post of an Au where Hunter stays with Belos until the day of Unity
These sketches are based on the finale where Hunter was the one to stay with the collector instead.
1st sketch “Don’t act like you care” is Hunter denying help per usual. This context is after Luz kills Belos and try’s to speak to Hunter.
2st “Get away from me” Hunter vomiting after being possessed. The others try to to approach him but he shoots down all attempts
3rd “I’m so sorry!I didn’t realize threatening to hit you was bad! I just wanted to play! I must be bad like Belos since he hit you all the time! “…It’s fine…” The collector apologizing to Hunter for his treatment during the game. The collector never hit Hunter but he did threaten to similar to the way he threatened people in canon, except with physical violence. Repeat, they never actually hit Hunter. The collector witness quite a bit of the abuse that Hunter went through in the hands of Belos. Hunter says it’s fine but he’s more concerned by the group of people watching (Luz, King, Eda, Amity, Gus, and Willow
4th, just a grumpy little Hunter
I think that people sometimes don't understand the kind of abuse Belos put hunter through. He didn't just make him miserable and do nothing but ever hurt him. Hunter wouldnt have been so loyal if he had. Belos manipulated him. He made him think it was his own fault if he got hurt, he deserved it because he let Belos down. Think of the way Belos spoke to him during the last episode of season 2. "Why are you hurting me? I just wanted to help you." He lies to him. He probably HAS told hunter that he loves him. Probably when he was younger he DID show him affection, and then started withholding it. So he starts feeling withdrawals for it. He gets more desperate as he's forced to fight harder and harder to get it.
And on a similar note. I don't think people realize Belos not being able to control his curse wasnt a lie? Like we see him struggle to repress it on multiple occasions. As early as when he meets Luz in the past, we see when we see his arm with the glyphs on it, the way it ripples and bulges and he's obviously in pain as he forces it down. That's what happened in hollow mind; we see the mass of palisman souls are fighting inside of him. Thats his curse. All those souls he's consumed trying to destroy him. And then Belos destroys it, which gives him for the first time full control over his fucked up body. Before that he genuinely doesn't have full control of himself
Figuring out Hunter and his staff in this au
Context, This Au of Hunter stayed loyal to Belos until the day of Unity where he then stayed with the collector instead of King.
Explanation for Au, 1st set of sketches
By the time this WAD equivalent is done with the puppets free, the collector on their side, dead Belos , they try to reach out and offer kindness to the ex Golden guard especially after he was just possessed but he pushes it away and runs away. He basically gone rogue for some bit. The others try to capture him out of fear of what other witches may do to him if they catch him instead and also because this mentally unstable teenager should not be on his own. He also has his old golden guard staff still.
The collector doesn’t help them try to find him due to their guilt of how they treated him.
Hunter of course slips out their grasps every time and is able to combat them. He can be pretty antagonistic. It doesn’t help that he stays near the boiling sea which he’s immune to, which he takes full advantage of.
