Do you think Braxas is presumably under Viney's tutelage? After all, he's studying the same magic tracks that she studied.

Do you think Skara and Viney could've served as much more popular replacements for Gus Porter and Willow Park? To be honest, I don't find Gus and Willow to be that interesting and their voice actors aren't even well-known.

Do you wish Skara and Viney got to help their friends Hunter, Willow and Gus in "For the Future"? I would've liked for the Emerald Entrails to have a proper reunion.

Bc I'm still miffed about other types of magic getting nowhere near as much screentime as Abomination/Illusion/Plant (yes ik the shortening and yada yada but still)

Anyways this involves a bit of rewriting (all of these would happen at some point in season 1 after The First Day)

Amity: all tracks

Here she's rewritten so that joining the Emperor's Coven was really Amity's own dream rather than Odalia's, but only bc that's the only way she'd legally be able to do all magic and not bc of the fame/glory etc. (and she didn't know Belos was evil at that time, but obviously she'd ditch the EC dream once she found out about that)

Plus it would add to her arc of being her own person rather than simply following her parents' footsteps, though if she still chooses to be an engineer after graduating Hexside she can incorporate different types of magic to her machines (instead of only Abomination like Alador)

Anyways she'd be the 1st one of the Hexsquad (besides Luz) to switch to multitrack after The First Day

(And yes ig this could also be a Lumity thing with both of them studying all tracks)

Gus: Illusion/Bard/Oracle/Beast Keeping

Bard bc he's shown to like music

Oracle bc of that time he's shown interest in the Oracle artifact in Agony of a Witch (there's also his dad being an Oracle coven member but tbh that connection wasn't intentional on my part)

Beast Keeping bc of him wanting to reestablish contact with the giraffes

Gus would switch to multitrack some time after Amity

Willow: Plant/another track (temporary)

The idea is that after all her friends (Luz, Amity, Gus) start multitracking, Willow feels pressured to join another track too, esp since Boscha and co. are all single-track and Willow doesn't wanna be associated with them

(Her friends have no idea and initially believe she genuinely wants to multitrack)

So she has this mini arc where she stays in the Plant track and also tries out different secondary tracks (except Abomination obviously), but none of them really suit her

Eventually her friends reassure her that it's ok to just do 1 track if that's what she really wants to do, so Willow just sticks with the Plant track and nothing else

(Yeah Willow can be Hexsquad's token single-tracker why not /lh)

I'd also rewrite the Detention Trio so that they'd each join 3 tracks instead of just 2 (these are based on their personalities/vibes)

Viney: Healing/Beast Keeping/Construction

Jerbo: Plant/Abomination/Bard

Barcus: Oracle/Potions/Illusion

(This post is such a jumbled mess alfjdljalfjk I might edit this later idk)
