Trans Hunter Headcanons Are Even More Entertaining After Hollow Mind Cause It's Just

if no one else is gonna say it, then fine, I will.

Just Roll With It: Blood in the Bayou really said ACAB (All Cops Are Bugs)

I'm so glad enough time has passed for people to stop caring and acknowledge that Engage is just FUN

that's actually really interesting. the only way for Emma to turn in the car is if she's bitten in Chapter 4, but if she stayed infected after you killed Chris then that obviously can't be the case. the wiki says she can get infected by Max by doing what you described, but again if she stayed infected after Chris died then that can't be right?? it's also really weird that she apparently got bitten off-screen

also reminds me, there's two variations of the car scene with Emma as a werewolf, one with everyone outside and one where Dylan ends up hiding in the car, and I still haven't figured out how to get that second version of the scene. don't know if it's related to what you've got going on

definitely lemme know once you figure it out

quick FamilyEcho of the werewolves, who infects who and when, because I can never remember all of them off the top of my head

blue boxes are unavoidable, pink boxes are dependant on player choices

I checked the wiki and every bit of ending text I could find, so I'm fairly confident these are all correct, but feel free to say something if you see an error

fun things I realised while making this:

Abi is the only counsellor who is guaranteed to be cured if she gets infected

not counting individual QTEs, Dylan has the most opportunities to be infected, two of which are caused by his hand being bitten

Caleb has the most guaranteed infections, while Silas has the most potential infections

Dylan and Kaitlyn are the only counsellors who can be infected by Silas, meaning they would be the only ones still infected if Caleb died and Laura failed to kill Silas

it would be impossible to get an ending with everyone infected, as Abi will always be cured and Ryan cannot survive without killing Chris, curing everyone Chris infected

Dylan can be infected again after losing his hand, but it will not grow back. this is either because he doesn't stay infected long enough to turn, or maybe werewolf regeneration simply isn't strong enough

if Jacob is infected, he can actually survive having his head crushed in a bear trap

Nick is the only counsellor who can infect an NPC, that being Bobby, however Bobby will always amputate his finger to prevent infection

Laura, Max and Emma are the only counsellors who can infect other counsellors

Max is only counsellor guaranteed to infect someone, and the only counsellor who can potentially infect multiple people

Abi, Dylan, Ryan and Kaitlyn can never kill anyone while in werewolf form. Abi and Ryan are cured too soon, Kaitlyn is infected too late, and Dylan seemingly stays in/near the scrapyard after turning

Emma and Dylan are the only counsellors who can be infected by more than one werewolf, meaning they're also the only ones who can turn at various times

Dylan will only turn in-game if infected in Chapter 5, meaning Emma is the only counsellor who can turn at various times during the game

Ryan is the only counsellor whose survival is dependent on being infected. infection can save multiple characters from various failed QTEs, but Ryan is the only one guaranteed to die unless infected

Laura is the only werewolf that can potentially infect someone while still in human form, and consequently the only one who can infect someone with consent

if Dylan and Kaitlyn are not infected by Silas, every character could hypothetically be cured by killing only Caleb. unfortunately this wouldn't work in-game, as Kaylee always dies, Chris can't die after Caleb, and surviving the Hackett House forces Ryan and Laura to confront Silas

replaying the Ideal Detective skit over and over just to stare at Wato's glasses

like either he chose frames that look identical to Renegade's or he just fucking stole Renegade's glasses

Matthew's ears are slightly pointed like that because of the Gormotti ancestry

oh and he definitely got that scar doing something stupid as a kid. that or Na'el punched him

just noticed Luz, Gus and Amity use negative space for the eye. Hunter and Willow are the only ones with Flap's eye filled in

do with that what you will

actually obsessed with the matching Flapjack tattoos

girl help, I've had Soren's bracelet for like 5 minutes and it's already making my entire army incredibly uncomfortable. why does Ike exclusively talk to him in that voice

on second watch, I've realised Volume 9 feels like a love letter to not just early fans, but also to Monty

the focus on Neo and her relationship with Roman

acknowledgement of Pyrrha's sacrifice and the guilt Ruby feels over it

reversed Whiteknight dynamic

Ruby breaking down for the first time since V3

RWBY using their team attacks

and his specialty: fight scenes with story and character

an emphasis is put on Blake and Yang fighting side-by-side, because their feelings are finally out in the open and they're more in sync than ever. Weiss using all sorts of glyphs and dust and summons, because she no longer cares about being prim and proper and noble, she will be as loud and chaotic as she likes so long as it keeps her friends alive

and Ruby,

Ruby doesn't fight at all until the finale, because she doesn't feel like she can. she stays out of the way and never really tries to defend herself. even when she's being tortured by Neo's illusions, even after her Aura breaks, she doesn't fight back until she's right on death's doorstep. but then she speaks to the Blacksmith, and she hears that her mother loves her, and she knows that she is enough. she always has been, since the very start

so, she goes back to the start. whirling and spinning, using her Semblance, zipping around with her scythe in a way reminiscent of Monty's choreography, as if reliving the Red trailer in her mind. and once she's had that chance to show her newfound confidence, what she's truly capable of, her teammates step in to help her, because now she finally sees that they are there, and they finally see that they weren't there enough. they don't even have to talk to understand what's changed. Ruby grew the most, but they all learned from this, so she takes the lead at first but they finish it together

I just think Monty would've liked this volume
