disclaimer: blah blah blah you can have your own interpretation yadda yadda whatever

i’d also like to add that i feel like people have this weird idea of making the his paint (and other aspects of LoTF in general) look aesthetic pleasing. his facepaint is supposed to look like a mask that covers his Whooooole face. It’s supposed to look weird, and messy, and kinda ugly? Because 1) it helps them blend in with their environment and 2) in my opinion, the mask is supposed to show how they put on these new, hunting, wild personas and leave their inhibitions and old life behind the paint. it’s why Jack leaves his facepaint on for most of the book, he’s done being some choir boy and is finally ready to be a “ruthless killer”.
