Little bit of Owl House musing. I was thinking about Odalia Blight and whether or not she could be redeemed. It all depends on what Dana would want to do with her if there were ever a continuation. It's a tall order, considering all the horrible things she did and how awful she was about it.

But I think one potential thread that could make it work: even near the very end, she was insisting what she was doing was "the best for our family."

If you were going to try to redeem her, that's the key link right there. Every awful thing she did was justified in her mind because it was "helping her family." They were going to be rich, powerful and perfect. No matter how much damage it caused it would all be for the best if it all just went to her plan. In her own warped and delusional way, she thought everything she did was for the greater good for the people she cared about.

and I think that, if the writer chose to interpret it that way, could pave the way for a believable redemption arc. Taking the one positive trait she has and building on it from there. Having her realize everything she did was horrible and was never going to end well, and she did the exact opposite of what she wanted.

But that's just my personal interpretation and how I'd do it if I were in charge. I could be completely off base.

[mymanyfandomramblings]

Based on that quote/meme.

[mymanyfandomramblings]

you've asked so many great questions about my OCs, I thought I'd repay the favour, by letting you talk about yours.

(if you'd like) Give me one fun fact about each of your Next-Gen OCs

A chance to ramble about my Nextsquad, my little Owl House goblins? Who could say no! Thanks for the opportunity 😊

Rhoda's defeatist nature didn't originally come from the Titan hiding in her mind, it was always there. She was coddled as a kid, particularly by Amity. Amity tried not to repeat the mistakes Odalia made, but that overwhelming love and support created (or helped to emerge) Rhoda's perfectionism and fear of failure. What if she made a mistake? What if her moms got mad at her, even if they rarely ever did? Would they hate her? What would that be like? Constant questions racing through her mind. You can read about kid-Rhoda in my series of oneshots on AO3, Mothers of Melodies. Harmless self promotion lol

Also, Rhoda's new focus is helping all of her loved ones, putting them before herself. She's staving off that fear of abandonment as much as she can.

-

Ori was AFAB but transitioned sometime before The Magic Goes Away began. They've become much more comfortable in their onw body, but they still have low-self esteem particularly when it comes to their voice. Not the pitch or raspiness of their voice, but the volume. Ori can get very loud when excited, their parents and old friends were often bothered by it. Ori wishes they were more reserved like Rhoda.

Of course, Rhoda loves how excited Ori can get.

-

As a Bard, Penny's love for music came from her mom Willow singing her to sleep. With the guilt from cutting Rhoda out, Penny has become obsessed with composing the perfect song. She's combining Healing and Bard magic and wants to create a song that can calm people down. She hates that her twin Caleb and Rhoda can get so tense and angry. Helping them heal their relationship is her primary goal.

-

Caleb is protective, desperate to keep everyone safe. He watched his twin sister Penny get bullied a lot, and when his magic finally bloomed he knew he had the strength to protect her (and everyone else). He's cold, determined, but underneath it all he's a dork about his glyph magic and his garden. It's why he and Rhoda got along so well as kids, dorks gravitate toward each other.

-

While Avery was only introduced in the last two chapters of The Magic Goes Away, I'm developing him for a sequel. He's deaf, he doesn't make friends easily, and he hates the sound of the robotic text-to-speech on his phone that he uses to communicate. No, he can't hear it, but he sees how people react when they listen to that voice. He and Ori bond over this shared disdain for themselves.

-

A lot of these facts were sad, but it's kind of a sad story! In both TMGA and the planned follow-up, they all help each other through their fears. Thanks for letting me ramble 😁

Next question! Jack has this aura about him, like he doesn't make friends his own age easily. Is he always tagging along with Clementine and the gang, or would he rather spend time on his own?

I could be wrong, maybe he's the most popular kid in the baby class (for babies) (protect him at all costs)

Jack does not make friends his own age easily. He tags along with the gang a fair bit because Clementine's often babysitting him (thanks to her sense of responsibility) and she ends up going along with Noceda twin shenanigans (once again, thanks to her sense of responsibility), but honestly, the majority of Jack's friends are plants, and that's where he's happiest. This is, in large part, because Jack doesn't really talk to people outside of his inner circle--he's only semiverbal in public much of the time, especially when he's younger--and he's extraordinarily introverted with very low social needs. He's happy to spend his days talking (and singing) to plants, reading books and spending time with the palismen. This, plus the fact that his Grimwalker genetics mean that his magic presents in weird and wonderful ways, means that most people think he's a bit mysterious and a bit of a cryptid.

OC questions! Mille, what got her into Oracle magic? Does she have any influences? And why is she so hell bent on TIME TRAVEL?

Yes, OC questions!!! You're the best!

So, Millie's Oracle magic interest is actually a big plot point of the fic I'm currently drafting up, but basically, I imagine that post-Coven System, Hexside students are expected to give all types of magic a try, until around high school age, where they will pick the track or tracks they want to study, and although Millie is proficient in almost every magic type, she has a particular knack and interest in Oracle magic.

As for 'does she have any influences', also a plot point in the fic I will hopefully write. Because she's such an overachiever, she's sought out mentoring for her other tracks, and when it comes to her other magic types--Abominations and Potions--she has very easy access to some of the absolute best and most qualified mentors in the Isles, and she simply doesn't have the same resources for Oracle magic, especially since her moms (particularly Amity) have some serious reservations about her interest in Oracle magic. Millie's curiosity, ambition and general genuine interest in the subject, mean that she does start seeking out some slightly...darker sources for the information she craves.

As for why she's interested in time travel--mostly because it's fascinating and no-one's ever done it before, except via time pools, and she thinks if she manages just the right combination. Besides, Millie is the second-biggest history nerd in the Isles, second only to her Cool Graunt Lilith, so the idea of actually experiencing history is incredibly exciting.

if anyone feels the slightest bit tempted to ask questions about my TOH fankids, then my askbox/post comments are wide open and I am extremely eager

[mymanyfandomramblings]

I had some artwork commissioned for my Owl House OCs from my future-fic, The Magic Goes Away! Meet Rhoda Noceda-Blight and her best friend, partner, and perfect moonmate, Ori Tholomule!

Artwork by the amazing @doughnut-doodles! They're also on Ko-fi, check them out!

[mymanyfandomramblings]

HWAT???? Qibli doesn't have flaws??? Yes, obviously the boy who admitted aloud that he would have used Darkstalker's 'make everyone like me' spell, if he'd had the ability is totally flawless. the boy who was pretty upfront with the fact that he was calculating how to kill Peril when they met in Sanctuary doesn't have any flaws, you're right.

Qibli is literally just the most generic Gary Sue and it’s so obnoxious. Like can he not be allowed one character flaw? ONE? At least Fireheart did wrong things and was called out for it. Qibli never does anything wrong, and the closest he gets to doing something wrong he’s never called out for it. He’s just Tui’s perfect little boy who is perfect in every way.

(All of this made sense when I found out Tui based him on one of her sons)

The TOH fankids, hard at work

this beautiful beautiful art of my next-gen kids was done by @staywithmegoatkatniss, who is a legend!!

From left to right we have Millie Noceda, Julius Porter, Clementine and Jack Park, and then Eddie Noceda. Feel free to ask about them, if you'd care to know more--I love to talk about them.

(and yes, Jack is growing a truffula tree and yes, Eddie's shirt is a Undertale reference--Eddie loves Undertale)

The Owl House As Textposts, Part 12

[mymanyfandomramblings]

i said the other day I might have to show you guys my TOH next-gen kiddos, right? well I'm following through with that! Here are The Kiddos, the future Hexsquad! All the art was done by @staywithmegoatkatniss

Going in age order, oldest to youngest:

[ALT TEXT:

Millie Noceda

FULL NAME: Millie Azura Noceda

Named after Camila and also Mildred Featherwhyle

Has a smaller bile sac than your average witch, and as such, tires easily and runs her magic down quickly

Extremely enthusiastic when it comes to solving mysteries, and academically brilliant. She is, however, somewhat lacking common sense.

Loves history

VERY indecisive

Prone to meddling in other people’s business, and trying to solve their problems

Is determined to use abomination tech to invent time travel

She’s the older twin and VERY vocal about it

Grudgby star

Hexside Tracks: Abominations, Oracle, Potions

End Alt Text]

[ALT TEXT

Eddie Noceda

FULL NAME: Eddie Manuel Noceda

Named ‘Eddie’ after both Eda and also Edric and Emira. His middle name is after Luz’s dad.

Millie’s younger twin brother

Like his sister, his smaller-than-average bile sac results in him having less magic to spare.

He lacks the usual analytical skills necessary for Construction and Abomination magic, but he uses Illusions to help visualise what he wants to create

He’s a very hands-on person

Loves adventure and has zero survival instincts at all. As such, he’s constantly getting himself into scrapes

Considers himself and Millie to be Edric and Emira’s successors.

He and King are besties

Hexside Tracks: Abominations, Illusions, Constructions

End Alt text]

[ALT TEXT

Clementine Park

FULL NAME: Clementine Lupin Park

She’s a year younger than Eddie and Millie

Like her cousins, having one parent with no bile sac has ramifications for her magical abilities, resulting in her being quite a late bloomer, and even once her magic does develop, her proficiency is limited to healing magic. She is, however, very good at healing.

She’s a very nurturing person, and makes it her business to look after her cousins—who are constantly in trouble

She’s secretly Camila’s favourite granddaughter—unsurprising, considering how much they have in common

She loves looking after abandoned palismen

She does occasionally get fed up with being the ‘‘responsible one” of her cousins.

Hexside Track: Healing

End Alt text]

[ALT TEXT:

FULL NAME: Julius Freddie Porter

As a result of being half-human (his mom was human), Julius’s bile sac takes until witch puberty to develop, meaning no magic for him just yet, and as such, attends school in the human realm for now. He’s a very adept glyph user, though.

Always wears hats to hide that he has one round ear and one pointed ear--something he is very insecure about

He’s been raised between the human and demon realm, and having an ambassador and freelance travel writer for parents means that his family has never stayed in the same place long.

In between all the moving as well as losing his mother at four years old, Julius has developed some attachment issues. He’s also quietly quite resentful towards his father for his upbringing and the fact that he doesn’t feel like he fits into either realm. He also has a surprisingly morbid sense of humour

He’s an extremely curious and academic kid

Five years younger than Clementine

Plans to study potions because it plays well to his analytical strengths, and also because it works if his powers never come through. He wants to do beastkeeping so the cousins have a full complement.

Future Hexside Tracks: Potions, Beastkeeping

End Alt text]

[ALT TEXT:

Jack Park

FULL NAME: Jack Bailey Park

Named after Flapjack

Is ten years younger than Clementine (he was a surprise!)

Has a galderstone heart, which has caused his bile sac to develop in weird and wonderful ways—his magic presents from very young and is very strong and also extremely intuitive. Even he hasn’t fully figured out how to control it.

A total bookworm—he can usually be found up a tree, with a book. He particularly loves Cosmic Frontier

Has been climbing trees since he could walk—he freaks his parents out that way, but thanks to his affinity with plants, he’s never fallen.

Extremely chill. The chillest kid you will ever meet.

He has a beautiful singing voice

Future Hexside Tracks: Plants, Bard

End Alt text]

There they are! Feel free to ask questions--they all come with more detailed backstories and info.

(and yes, Millie and Eddie are Lumity kids, Clementine and Jack are Huntlow kids, and Julius is a Gus x OC kid, if you couldn't tell)

[mymanyfandomramblings]

100% worth giving myself a buzz cut to be able to cosplay this twerp so I could take refference photos to draw from.

[mymanyfandomramblings]

[image: fanart by glockgal. Mercedes Jones from Glee, cartoony style.]

I think she is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. It’s because she looks like a protagonist character from Studio Ghibli. And I love Miyazaki style!

[mymanyfandomramblings]

I just think they're neat, yknow?
