Hunter would not accidentally call camilla or darius or eda or raine of any of his 203729592 new parents "mom" or "dad" or whatever. Hes never had parents before. When he calls them that it would be 100% intentional.
Similarly, his parents calling him "son" also has to be intentional. Camila didnt have any sons. And eda never calls king that she just calls him by his name. Darius and raine didnt have any kids period. It just wouldnt be a habit they have and they wouldn't call hunter that by slipping up.
How you ACTUALLY know hunter is part of the family now is when camila and eda start accidentally calling hunter the names of their other kids. Eda wants him to do laundry so she yells up the stairs "king do the laundry" and realizes hunters name is not king so she yells "luz do the laundry" and then wonders why hunter didnt come downstairs. Raine cycles through all three of their students before remembering hunters name. Camila cycles through the names of everyone in the hexsquad before getting to hunters. Darius doesnt do this bc he doesnt have any other kids but he sure calls hunter eberwolf a few times

Terra: Okay, Darius, would you rather kill Adrian or-
Darius: Yes kill him.
Terra: I didn’t even say the other-
Darius, who knows what Adrian did to Hunter while he was hiding out at Hexside: I don’t need to hear it.
Adrian, sitting off to the side: I’m feeling a little unsafe…
Darius, watching Raine and Eber sneaking up behind Adrian with murder in their eyes because they also know what he did to Hunter: As you should.

I love Hunter's ominous "BWAAA" audio cue he has in s2. It's loud and in your face when you see him the first times, as the Golden Guard, and makes you think, "oh no! villain!" I only realized this recently, but it actually ends up being used in the music itself.
It continues being used throughout the episodes-
Escaping Expulstion
Hunting Palisman (Notably, it only starts when he's actually being menacing, not when he's just whistling or being blasted off his ship.)
Until we get to Eclipse Lake, where it's barely used at all. Because he's imprisoned and unmasked the whole time. The only time it's actually used is when he betrays Amity, because he holds some semblance of power. Contrast that to the fight, where Hunter's cue isn't used at all- he's got no intimidation factor, he's clearly desperate.
As far as I can tell, it's entirely absent in Any Sport in a Storm, which is great, as he's so absolutely pathetic the entire episode, it's great. Au contraire, it's used when he reveals he tricked them, the only time he DOES hold real power.
In Hollow Mind, it's used when he blames Luz for trapping them. It's there again when he approaches the CATTs, because he's hunting down criminals! He's being scary! It's gone after Luz confronts him, because it's from Luz's perspective, and she knows him. It's gone for the rest of the episode.
I don't think it's ever there in Labrynth Runners either, as he's entirely without power in the situation. He's scared out of his mind.
And in Clouds on the Horizon, it's back! But only when you first see him, where he's smirking like an idiot and trying once again to act like he's NOT scared out of his mind. It's insanely comedic, because we all know he's just had two panic attacks within days of each other. He's perhaps the opposite of scary.
And then, it's gone. Forever, I think. From then on, he stops pretending. He's just a dorky kid now, and he's terrified. He's given up on pretending he's not. That music cue was for the Golden Guard. This is Hunter.
It's great musical storytelling! We can HEAR his character arc. We listen to how he changes, his missteps, his failures. It's always fun to hear.
Side note, when Viney goes "I had an opening for one" in ASIAS, the music does the whole violin strike cue, then immediately cuts back to the sentimental music. It's great timing.
