Look At The Stars,look How They Shine For You

look at the stars, look how they shine for you

:’)

I am a hundred precent certain that Wittebro is an ancestor to the Clawthorns.

Exhibit A: Birds are a Clawthorn thing.

Dana Terrace has said before that the Clawthorns have a thing for birds, and this is proven true in the show. Every member of the family has a bird palisman-

Now we have seen background palisman who are birds (such as bell goose) but weve never see another witch with a bird palisman until Flapjack chose Hunter.

We know Flapjack had an owner before, and everyones certain its the Wittebro, wouldnt it be weird if birds were a Clawthorne thing but Wittebro was the one exception.

Exhibit B: Dell Clawthorne looks weirdly like hunter.

Dell is most likely the orginal holder of the Clawthorne name. I say this cause Gwen says that the Clawthornes are known for their Palisman carving skills and Dell had that role. That being said, look at their side profiles together,

The bridge of the nose and how their hair flows backwards especially sick out here, their far from identical but they definitely look like they could be related.

I think its especially noticeable when you compare hunter to young Dell.

With his hair up you can see the how similar their hair falls.

Exhibit C: the mind portraits

Okay so this is the biggest piece of evidence is the portraits within Belos' mind, and how they seem to tell the story of how Philip killed his brother after he fell in love with a witch. This post pretty well interprets them as such.

Where I Overanalyze

Where I Overanalyze

Two brothers growing up. Working diligently together, doing the same jobs together... Raised to be witch hunters, it’s what they’ve always w

But look at the witch in the portraits,

That first one really looks like young Eda from Echos of the Past.

Thats signature Clawthorne poof hair right there.

Exhibit D: what did gwen say again?

The Clawthornes are known for their Palisman carving skills.

And what does one of the portraits show Wittebro doing?

Carving.

Its never stated that you need magic to carve palisman, Hunter doesnt need magic to have one and Eda never says anything about it when she brings the palistrom wood to Luz.

It would be the only skill he could use to in the demon realm to gain a living without magic.

Exhibit E: Whats behind the Clawthorne estate

When Eda runs out to the back of the estate she finds these ruins aswell as the damaged portal door.

Going back to the portraits, in the presumably last stand between the brothers we can see that wherever they are, its on fire.

This could be an explanation for the ruins, if this is the old Clawthorne estate then Philip destroyed it.

It would also explain why the portal door was there, if Philip didn't have it of course his brother would. And if his brother knew about his plans to exterminate this place he could bury it to hide it, hence Eda finding it in the dirt.

So what if this is correct, and the mordern Clawthorne clan are descendents of this guy?

Well it looks like that witch cursed Philip with something and that Eda's family is way more involved with this that previously thought.

It also means Hunter, on some level, is canonically related to Eda in some way.

charlie: *exists* nick: ツ

yeah, I was once again surprised by how much I liked it. I wish the monster had a better ending, but otherwise pretty fun.

Also, Happy Valentine’s! (pretend I waited to answer this until today because of that)

We should go on a date, just us. I’d like that.
