@huntlowfanzine

Sleep is one of the most romantic things to hunter hear me out. The thought of trusting someone enough to lay unconcious for hours next to them, knowing your safe and well. They wont steal your supplies from your tent or leave you on the knee stranded for hours because you slept in for once. Being warm and comfy, not wanting to move. Listening to the birds chirp in the early morning. Getting a full nights rest and waking up in someone elses arms. Its willow he means willow

Help Mahmoud Alhallaq Survive in Gaza

Hello, my name is Kate. I'm organizing this campaign for Mahmoud Alhallaq, who's previous organizer on GoFundMe is in the hospital right now

Another link to support Palestinian refugees— please support and donate to Mahmoud so he can get food and supplies for him and his family!!!

PALESTINE aid requests and how YOU can help:

We get a lot of asks with people reaching out, confused and stuck on how they can aid Palestinians in need right now— specifically direct aid, including towards GoFundMes. We hope this post can be informative!

What you can do:

— Reblog, repost, retweet and share all aid requests that you see. Interacting is important to keep posts circulating, so like and even leave a comment.

— As little as $5 helps out, so if you’re able to, don’t feel like you’re not doing enough. As an example, if 100 people donated $5 to a GoFundMe, that’s already $500!

— Are you a creator? If you’re able to do charity streams on Twitch, host art commissions, if you’re an artist you could get permission to busk in your city centre and collect donations.

— We understand that finances are not easy right now, we’re all trying to get by with brutal bills and taxes, but if there’s absolutely any way you can economise— try incorporating it into your lifestyle. Have some old clothes you don’t need? Sell them online and send the funds to Palestinians in need.

— Suggest sponsoring a GoFundMe and fundraising with your community, school, workplace to generate funds.

— Reblog/comment any ideas or fundraising tips that have worked for you!

From Us:

Tikkun Olam Resistance

On our Instagram we’ve been posting GoFundMe’s and aid requests on our stories every day, and will be beginning weekly posts highlighting aid requests that need urgent boosting. We also have a pinned highlights on our account where you can access direct links to fundraisers. You can access that here.

On our Tumblr, you can search the “how to help” tag on our account to find a multitude of GoFundMes and aid requests to boost and support.

On X (Twitter) we’re retweeting every aid request that we come across, join us in doing the same! Filling peoples timelines and your you pages with Gaza and Palestine is a necessity now.

We’re considering other ways to raise funds, so keep an eye on our accounts for updates! We always look for recommendations from you guys.

in regards to that text post you tagged as hunlow followed by "listen to me". i have a chair. i am sitting down. i'm listening if you want to explain.

Waaah I am all jumbled up so this is not gonna be very eloquent but lemme do a little word vomit here.

Anyway. The poem 'Yes & No' by Natalie Wee and the complete huntlow overload it gives me every time I read it.

It works from both their perspectives on how they view the other person. Those parallels do be paralleling. I might blabber about it from Hunter's POV....another day. But because the poem is written by a woman and refers to a 'Him' lets focus on Willow's side of things. It's the side that gives me the most brainrot anyway. I really do love a good subversion. A girl who thinks she is too monstrous for a boy whom she views as too gentle.

I think very often about Willow's relationship with her own powers. The show went somewhat into depth about how being 'Half a Witch' destroyed her confidence. The part of her that could not excel at anything that wasn't plant-centric. There's nothing particularly complex about her feelings of inferiority. It's very easy to understand. She's Mildred Hubble coded.

HOWEVER it's also shown in her debut episode that Willow losing control of her emotions can lead to big destructive outbursts. This is the part that was touched on as a conflict in For the Future, but was never really explored at length.

This ability of hers is extremely dangerous. She can severely hurt both herself and the people around her. Surely, that must be a frightening reality for a little girl to live with.

I wonder when these outbursts first started. I wonder if that incident in the detention pit was the first time her own magic nearly killed her. I wonder if something happened on the day of Amity's birthday party when little Willow felt like she had lost everything. I wonder a lot of things. But mostly I wonder how being like this since she was young has effected Willow's mindset, her behaviour and her complexes. What does she think of herself? Is she afraid of what she's capable of? Is she afraid of her own emotions?

Anyway, with that in mind. Here is the poem. Beat by beat.

reasons to not kiss him:

1. you weren’t raised to love tender.

Willow was born and raised to be a sweet gentle girl with a soft spot for plants. She's silly and lighthearted yet mature for her age and tries to remain rational in irrational situations. She allows hugs from Gus and she allows Luz's touchy affection and cooing over how cute she is.

But by "love tender", I interpret it as Willow not knowing how to love and be loved in a way that puts her in a vulnerable position. The bleeding open wound kind of love. She's already been thrown away once in her life like she's something disposable so she has decided that it will inevitably happen again. Willow has already braced herself for Luz and Gus finding other friends and leaving her behind. She's loved them so sweetly this whole time but she's always been keeping them at arm's length, scared to pour too much of her heart into their hands. She's simply savouring the time she has with them until they drift away.

But Hunter is a different story. There is something about him that demands she love tender. And it's terrifying that she feels the pressure to do so. And it's even more terrifying that she so badly wants to.

2. when he’s around all you do is tremble. when he’s around you want to get on your knees. look how much power he has over you. it’s dangerous.

Willow is a girl who has been carelessly discarded like her feelings meant nothing, made to feel like she was a waste of an existence and who is also deathly afraid of herself and the unstable magical battery pulsing inside of her. This results in having to lock up her more reckless emotions in order to keep everyone safe, but also to protect her own heart. She's gotten good at it. And she's also now perceived as an iron clad witch who cannot be weakened.

But the presence of Hunter reveals something very concerning. She can be weakened. His smile and his voice and his entire disposition is a breach of the barriers she has spent years building. He is capable of puncturing her clean through. And the part that makes her lips tighetn is that he's not even aware of it.

It doesn't sound so foreboding on the surface. So what if he can make her smile until she can't stop smiling? So what if he can make her laugh until she's breathless? But then she'd have to regain herself and realize that as harmless as that is, it's a result of her losing control of her emotions. Which she rarely does anymore. And it's all because of him with his soft eyes and his kind smile and his shy adoration for her.

And if he can do that, he can do far worse to her. That's the scary part.

3. he’s too good at forgiving and you’re too good at violence.

4. you know what they say about monsters. you know what happens to the boys who love them. are you going to do that to him?

5. your hands don’t know how to be gentle. think about the last beautiful thing that shattered in your palms. the fresh rosebuds crumbling between your fingers like a bruise. you wolf-boy, you war machine. you wouldn’t know how to hold something magic and not destroy it.

Willow is not stupid. She's not unobservant. Hunter did not need to stay a word for her to realize that he is a boy who has been wronged by someone who he loved with his whole aching heart. He has been hurt in a way that will leave his heart aching forever and ever.

But it's a sharp sting to know that in spite of that, he continues to fall deeply in love with every person who shows him compassion. Nothing can burn out his warm glow. He loves and he loves until he's sick with the stuff. And Willow doesn't know how he does it, but his glow is so nice to graze in. Once you get too close to him, you don't want to leave.

When Willow hugs him, his fingers tentatively twist into the sleeves of her cardigan. She sees how he looks at her and she knows he'd like nothing more than to squeeze her tight and drown in her.

He's in love with Willow the way he's in love with everything and she desperately wants to give him everything.

She wants to place her hands on his cheeks and watch as she melts into her palms, finally satiated after all he had been starving for.

She wants to fall in love with him.

But she can't. Because she knows he'd fall in love with her too.

And then eventually, she would hurt him. Like he had been hurt before.

She can't trust herself to not hurt him.

And in the aftermath of the hurt, she would cry herself hoarse with ragged apologies.

And because she was kind and because he knows she didn't mean to hurt him, he would squeeze her tight and say "It's okay."

Then she'd hurt him again.

"It's okay."

And again.

"It's okay."

A painful cycle that spins until there's barely of him left.

And Willow is scared that by that point that she'll be too weak for his soft eyes to ever let him go.

She doesn't know what will become of her.

She doesn't want to find out.

So to stay on the safe side, they will never begin.

6. if you hurt him it might kill you

7. if you hurt him you might kill yourself.

8. you are very bad at rehabilitation. this is one addiction you’d fail to give up. he’s going to ruin you for all other kisses and all other boys and you’ll spend the rest of your life trying to forget his name.

Willow has analyzed the situation and she's come to the conclusion that if she allowed this sweet boy entry to her briar n' bramble guarded heart, they'd bend to his will, clearing a path to the delicate structure. And once he holds it in his hands, he'll leave his fingerprints all over it.

This is the damage she's talking about.

The damage he can do to her.

9. you still aren’t sure he isn’t a dream.

10. if you kiss him, you might wake up.

You would think, with all this lamenting Willow does over Hunter's existence, that he's making her miserable.

Far from it.

She's reluctant to admit it, even to herself, but she's already addicted to whatever it is that he's emanating. Like a flower stretching towards the sunlight.

Sometimes he doesn't feel feel.

Typical of an overthinker to not believe that could be as wonderful as it seems.

In an ideal world, they could both make each other happy.

If she doesn't ruin everything.

Mistletoe kisses. Parasitic in nature.

What if she leeches all the light left in him?

What if a kiss is her wakeup call?

reasons to kiss him:

1. because he’s beautiful.

He's so beautiful.

2. because he asked.

He's begging. He's begging every time he looks at her. He certainly doesn't mean to. Nor does he know that he's doing it. But somehow, without saying a word, he has crumbled to his knees begging for her to pour of a little of her heart into his lips to warm his blood.

He wants her to love tender and be loved raw. And he wants to do the same.

And if she said no, he would simply reply "that's okay."

But she doesn't want to say no.

She wants to give him everything.

That's the problem.

And even worse....she is pretty sure she is about to crack.

She will give him everything.

Because...

3. because he preceded please with, i’m not afraid of you.

When the p*rn bots keep following you

Willow @ Willow:

the imagery you have put in my head of hunter being equated to sunshine and The Sun itself (too much ….) is so SICKENING,,,, considering willow is plant girl. no wonder her dumbass is drawn to him !!!!!! shes converting him to glucose !!!

During the post ASIAS-pre HM stage, Hunter and Willow used to stay up to all hours of the night texting and neither ever wanted to call it a night. It was usually Hunter who passed out first, leaving Willow laying awake in her bed, eagerly anticipating a reply that never comes. She knows he probably fell asleep but now she's got all this hyped up gushy energy from the convo and she needs an outlet for it. Cue her sleep deprived and silly teenage girl ass making a manic burst of penstagram posts about this one boy she knows who's super cute and smart and sweet and funny and HOT and AAGGHHHHH!!!!! then she drops into unconsciousness like two minutes later.

Hunter wakes up the next morning and sees her posts before she gets the chance to delete them and he just. Politely doesn't say anything. Like sure. Yeah. Okay. Clearly his cool new friend Willow is dealing with some things that he wouldn't understand. Typical high-school stuff. Like cute boys and whatnot. That's fine. He's cool with that. It's none of his business anyway. Whatever.

And then twenty seconds later, he's strapping on his armor and he's like. "Cute...smart...hot. I bet it's that bitch, Jerbo."
