Eyo, welcome to the second post of this blog 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The Undertale Yellow brainrot is SO bad that I’ve gone and made an UTY au. Wanna hear about it? Of course you do, who would you be here if you didn’t! If you don’t, then leave sucka, I’m here to FUCK!

So y’all know me, I’m a giant Ceroba fan, simp, and apologist. This fandom be shitting on her and I cannot STAND for this INJUSTICE! So, I sat down and thought “hey, how about we entertain that idea. What if Ceroba didn’t inject Kanako?” And it just spiraled into an entirely different universe of its own. So here we are, I’m way too deep, I’m just gonna dive in.

So, we all know the context, ye? Chujin is veeeeery dead, leaving Ceroba and Kanako to pick up the pieces of his work. This time, when Kanako offers herself as the boss monster vessel, Ceroba denies, not wanting to risk the only family she has left and wanting to respect Chujin’s last wishes. Kanako is upset by this, even staring an arguement between the two and Kanako even trying to steal the vile, but who can blame them in such a tense situation. One thing that’s bothered me on this whole argument is that Kanako was manipulated into her decision, or didn’t understand what she was doing, when she clearly did. She saw the consequences first hand, it look her father for crying out loud, she knew it could take her as well. Adolescents are reckless, and will fight like hell to get what they want, especially if they strongly believe in it. I think Kanako is far older and more mature then we think, I personally enturpret her as 15 or 16 at the time of her falling down. I don’t see no striped shirt on that kit!

So now what are we left with? They can’t just go find another boss monsters, they’re very rare, and most don’t even know if they are apart of that minority. So, we got two options; Asgore or Toriel. No way in HELL Toriel would agree, and I don’t think anyone even knows where Toriel went to. So we have Asgore. Wheeler he goes along with it or not is… debatable. He wants the best for his subjects, and would do anything to get out of this one sided war with humans. But this isn’t an alternative to breaking the barrier, it’s a back up plan for if history repeats itself. It could save many monsters lives, but would Asgore trust her after the stunts Chujin pulled? Maybe he even feels guilty for what happened to him. For the sake of this au, he agrees, desperate and grieving just like the women in front of him. But we all know what happens to Kanako, so…

THE KING IS DEAD! Vive la révolution!

Ok, not really, he’s just fallen down. That’s now Alphys’ problem to deal with (I’m sorry gurl I love you). But now Ceroba is in hot, HOT water, for a few crimes like ✨attempted assassination✨, ✨regicide✨, and ✨treason✨! If you’ve ever seen Undyne in the neutral routes, then you know she’s one trigger happy fish that’s very loyal to Asgore, and ain’t the biggest fan of the iron gallos. She’d much rather do it with her own two hands. So before Ceroba can run, plead her case, or even fight back; she’s got a spear straight through the soul.

Kanako, obviously, ain’t so happy about this. Poor gurl just lost her dad, and now her mom is also very dead, right in front of her too. Ouch! So she reacts as you’d expect anyone to, and attacks Undyne back with quite the fierce fireball. Luckily, it’s not a DnD fireball, but it does serve as the reason she wears an eyepatch now. With her attacker blinded, Kanako makes a desperate run for it, not wanting to risk retaliation. Back at the Wild East, all she has is her mother’s staff and the mask she made to as evidence of what happened.

The Wild East is heavily shook by the news, every resident feels it, but Starlo is hurt especially hard. That was his best friend, perhaps someone he saw as more, someone he cared for deeply and devotedly. We saw Starlo is the flawed pacifist run, he don’t take this too well. But right now, he doesn’t care about what he thinks or feels. In front of him is a grieving now orphaned child who watched her own parents turned to dust, who he watched grow up and been by their side the whole time. So like he always does, he comforts her before anything else. For this AU, Starlo will be serving as Kanako’s guardian, since she has no parents now. The fandom has kinda agreed on that Starlo is Kanako’s honorary uncle, and he definitely has some strong dad energy he needs to unleash. So he’s going to be the one to step up and care for this poor child.

Starlo decides this is a pretty good chance to give her something; a hat just like his own. He even cut out holes for her ears, Ceroba always complained about how the way his hat made it hard to hear and folded her ears in uncomfortable matters. He wants to share his passion of western culture with Kanako, to pass on what helped comfort him. Though he is very unaware that escapism is a very self destructive coping mechanism, and has just damned Kanako to become worse; whoops! He even offers to teach her gunslinging and give her lassons when she’s older. There’s a solum comfort in the promise of future, something to look forward to, a goal to achieve. And so, Kanako latches into it, and holds onto it for dear life.

Years go by, Kanako has grown up, and the 6th human falls. Kanako has shown to be a natural at wielding a gun, but ends up falling back on her natural magical abilities. Starlo offered for her to join the feisty five, maybe even become deputy, but she refuses. Instead, she adapts the persona of a bounty hunter, a lawless predator that only abides by the count of coin under her victim’s wanted poster. I really want to give her a cool alter ego name like North Star does, but I don’t have any ideas on what a good name for her would be. So if you guys have any cool names for her, I’d really appreciate it! Nonetheless, she joins in on Starlo’s western fantasies, relishing in the role as the villain. The classic self righteous vigilante sherif VS the aloof bounty hunter just getting paid. She embraced their role as some Saturday cartoon bad guy, tying damsels to train tracks and robbing banks, shooting the good guy all “this town ain’t big enough for the both of us,” style. It’s a performance, a chance for her to be someone else. The bounty hunter isn’t a lost, confused, and traumatized child who had her parents and childhood ripped away from her claws right in front of her, but a powerful and respected foe people can be scared of.

How would Kanako interact with Clover and the gang, I don’t really know yet. I’m imagining Starlo instructing her to sabotage the trials he sets up for Clover as a way to cause drama and challenge his soon to be deputy, while playing none the wiser to the posse, but that’s all I really got. What I’m more interested in is her dynamic with Martlet. Kanako isn’t a big fan of Royal guard for obvious reason, it’s a big reason why she takes on a bounty hunter role, their whole point is to give the law enforcers the middle finger. So when a blue bodied yellow eyed Royal Guardswomen rolls up into town, she’s going to be pretty heavily reminded of her late mother’s executioner. You can’t have a hunter without the hunted, and fittingly enough, foxes are known to hunt many kinds of birds; from small songbirds to juvenile birds of prey, but usually just the eggs. It would be a good reason for Martlet to be in jail, she pulled a Ramsey Murdock and put herself in jail so she doesn’t join her cousin Berdly in the grocery isle as fried chicken.

So, to end things off, why does this Au exist. For a lot of reasons, but it’s mainly to show the point of Ceroba’s and Kanako’s role in the story. They are both left doomed by the narrative, whether she gets injected or not. It doesn’t matter who lived or who died, the survivor is left no better then dead wishing it was them instead. The point of Kanako is to be a tragedy, to show what happens to many families, the inevitability of death and how grief can tear someone apart. If Kanako is the sacrificial lamp, someone else has to be. Inversely, if Ceroba isn’t there to be the the consequence of that sacrifice, someone else will have to. It doesn’t matter what choice Ceroba made on injecting her daughter, she was doomed to a fate worse than death, whether through amalgamation or orphaning. But it’s also meant to be a commentary on the nature of Undertale Yellow’s main theme; Justice. In my mind, and the way Kanako sees it, blind justice doesn’t exist. Yeah, there’s moral things everyone can say “that’s pretty wrong,” but at the end of the day, justice is self serving. Every person’s moral compass and what they believe is right and wrong is different, and so the Justice they enforce exists to push their own agenda. Clover in one timeline will sacrifice their soul to give monsters justice, while in another killing every monster that moves is delivering justice for the crime of the other children’s deaths. Did Ceroba deserve execution for what she did even if it was an accident, is it just of Kanako to mercilessly slaughter a child for the sake of the underground? That question doesn’t matter to her, all that matters in justice. Anyway, have adult Kanako in a cowboy hat, I’ll finalize her design for this AU one day…

owl house s1e1 notes

(i was/am a massive gravity falls fan and this heavily influences my first impressions. i have no doubt the show will establish itself as something different and wonderful, while still making me nostalgic. also, i spent like 7 years wanting to go into animation writing, so some of my notes are also influenced by that.

that said, a lot of these notes are just stupid comments and not actually meaningful or insightful.

i watched this pilot when it first came out in 2019, and maybe four or five more episodes until i stopped to wait for the entire show to air, so i remember some things, but not much!)

alex hirsch's voice in the first two seconds

i know she says "eat this, sucka" in the finale. neat!

luz confirmed amv maker

i like how luz's mom isn't evil or anything, she just wants her kid to be well-adjusted and have friends

i also like how she's Working a Job and trying her best, and clearly knows the summer camp is an imperfect solution but it's at least a solution

luz has a zelda hearts pin on her bag!

boiling isles establishing sequence is VERY weirdmageddon. lots of random expectation-subverting shit happening in quick succession

this is moving very fast, but it's a 20 minute cartoon pilot, it really HAS to move fast to get everything in

seeing the owl house interior punched me in the gut with mystery shack nostalgia

king's mouth does not move

"my weak nerd arms" okay dipper pines

it is extremely believable that this random guy simps for eda

this is definitely brad breeck (gravity falls composer) (and yes i did check, it is)

if she is writing fiction about food, it's not fanfiction. food is not a piece of media. fanfiction is not fanfiction bc it involves kissing, it's fanfiction because it's based on a piece of media. what she's writing is erotica/romance featuring food.

the good witch azura book cover has characters resembling luz, eda, and king. nice touch!

i like how luz asks to stay in the boiling isles. usually young protagonists are put in Situations (the twins being forced to spend the summer in gravity falls, for example) and then rise to the occasion. luz is given the option to bail and is just like, no, actually i want to see where this goes. it's effective in establishing both positive and negative aspects of her character: confidence in her own weirdness and a refusal to conform, but also being perhaps a little too quick to take the extreme escapist option. i'm very excited to see how she evolves over time!

actually, more on previous note: if you compare it to tourist trapped (gf pilot), the ending moment that sets up the rest of the show is dipper accepting that gravity falls could potentially be an interesting place to spend the summer, while here, it's luz going out of her way to request a place in the boiling isles. i like that.

king does the little cat circle and kneading thing <3

written by two women... good. fuck yeah.

The Owl Mouse (unfin)

(since The owl house is ending soon,I thought I'd share this unfinished Patb x TOH au fic @cutesycadaver and I did a while back In the fandom)

“Foolish child, I could swallow you whole” hissed the snake beast that stood Azura. 

“Do not underestimate me giler snake, for I am The good Mouse-Witch Azura warrior of peace. NOW EAT THIS SUCKA!” She shot at the beast with her wand. 

“No, my only weakness, dying!” Cried the snake.  

“And that’s the end!” Pinky said, holding a snake (that somehow didn’t try to eat the mouse) and an Azura doll

“The end of what?” His mother asked, 

“My book report. I think I knocked it out of the park, zort!” 

“Your book report is why you’re here!” Pinky's principal said, showing Pinky that everyone is being attacked by snakes. 

“Oh, that’s where the backup snakes were! Troz!”

 “And what were you going to do with this?” Pinky’s mom pulled a bundle of firecrackers from her purse

“That was for the act three closer.” Pinky said ashamed 

“Honey, I love your creativity” his mom said “but it’s gotten out of paw. Do you remember why you were in the principal’s office the last three times?” Oh he remembered. That time when he made Juliet’s death TOO real when he was trying out for Romeo and Juliet. And the time he made a baby griffin for his art project also and added actual baby spiders along with it. And let’s not forget the time when he was showing classmates what he can do to his eyes (which was VERY disturbing and VERY cool.). 

“We all love that you express yourself but if you can’t learn to separate fantasy from reality then you're going to have to spend the summer here.” His mother handed him a pamphlet about Reality Check summer camp. 

“Don’t worry mom. narf. I won’t let you down. No more weirdness.” The snake Pinky was holding attacked the principal. 

“That doesn’t count right?”

Pinky was standing outside his house waiting for the bus to come to take him to camp. A sad look plastered on his face. His mom came out “Oh my baby.” She hugged him in an attempt to comfort him 

“Now don’t worry, summer camp is only going to be for three months. You’ll be so busy balancing checkbooks and...learning...to...appreciate public radio, the time will fly by. 

“But Mom, I don’t like any of that stuff. I like cooking, music, and reading books. Mostly the romantic ones. They always make me feel mushy and gushy inside. Poit!” 

“Honey, your fantasy world is holding you back. Do you have any friends, real ones that aren’t imagined, or drawn, or equestrian?” His mom had a point but Pinky didn’t like the point, it was true and sharp and not at all fun fun silly willy. 

“Summer camp is a chance for friends but you have to try. Can you do that?” Pinky looked at the trash can beside him 

“Yes mom.” He said defeated, throwing his favorite book in the trash. His mother’s phone buzzed 

“Oh I gotta go to work.” She came over and kissed his head 

“Your bus is coming soon. Text me when you get there. I love you so much goodbye.” 

“Bye, mom.” As soon as his mom walked off, Pinky dug through the trash 

“where is it? Where is it? troz” 

“Who” 

“Not who, WHAT!” There was an owl...and it was holding his book in a little bag. 

“Owl trash thief!” Pinky scolded running after the owl. He chased it into the woods spotting a shabby house it ran into. The house was old, kinda spooky, and was most likely haunted. Pinky gulped. He was scared, but he has to be brave to get his book back. 

“Off I go. P-p-poit...” He said nervously. The squeaky door slammed behind him, which was weird because he doesn’t remember pulling on it. In a flash of yellow light a strange door with an eye appeared. The owl went through and so did Pinky. 

“Stop adorably hopping away you…” Pinky looked around, he was in a tent of trash. 

“Whoa, I thought I had a lot of weird stuff, but this. This is impressive.” He picked up...something.

“Finally you're back.” A woman’s voice said. Pinky ducked down. 

“Now let’s see what we got here.” He pushed open the tent. A woman with graying brown hair in a ponytail and magenta glasses went through the bag the owl had. The owl sat on a stick and the woman turned him around and he turned...into wood. 

“Narrrrrf!” Pinky said in amazement  

She picked up a smartphone. “Garbage.”

 A huge diamond ring. “Garbage.”

 A golden shiny goblet.  “Garbage.” 

She gasped “Now this!” She put on some silly springy eyeglasses 

“This will make me rich! And this…” she picked up Pinky’s book “This will make good kindling.” 

She put it over a candle.``NOOOO!” Pinky cried. He got out of his hiding place and took the book out of the woman's hand. “Excuse me! Sorry! It’s mine! Narf! Gotta go bye!” Pinky tried to go back into the house but the door formed itself into a key and landed in the woman’s hand.``You’re not going anywhere.” The woman said as she glared at Pinky. He immediately put the book in his backpack and ran for his life. He stopped at a cliff, looking at the monstrous landscape beyond. “Oh no! No! No! No! narf! What’s going on?” A little pink fairy flew next to him. “AH! Oh. Hello, little fairy. Are you gonna tell me this is all a bad dream and I’m gonna wake up back to reality?” Pinky asked. “GIVE ME YOUR SKIN! '' it said in a demonic voice. “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” He screamed as he smacked the fairy and ran away once again.``What’s going on? Did I die? Am I in hell?” 

“You wish.” a voice said behind him. Pinky immediately turned around and saw the same woman he saw earlier. “AHHH! NO! NO! PLEASE! NARF! NO!” But before he tried to escape the woman grabbed Pinky by the tail and hanged him face to face.``I’m so sorry! I just wanted my book back! If you're gonna eat me, please make it quick! But I must warn you I haven’t taken a bath in two days!” 

“Eat you? Why would I eat a potential customer?” Pinky relaxed, now confused, she owned a little shop “Can I offer you a human foot full of holes, a bar of green human candy, how about this shadow box that reflects only sadness!” She held out a little TV. “That’s not all it can do.” Pinky laughed, he picked up some batteries and hopped up on the TV. He popped them in and the TV turned on to an at-home workout video. 

The TV drew in a crowd of monsters wanting to buy it. “What did you say your name was?” The woman asked. “I’m Pinky!” “Well, Pinky that was very clever for a mouse.” Pinky giggled “You Humans say that all the time.” “Oh dear child…” she took off her bandanna to reveal pointed ears “I’m no human. I’m Nora the Owl Lady! The most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles!” “A witch!” Pinky whispered “I am respected, feared…”  ”BUSTED!” A giant fist smashed the TV interrupting Nora. “Nora the Owl Lady, you are wanted for misuse of magic and demonic misdemeanors.” Said a pudgy police-looking witch in a brown uniform. “Whoa witch criminal.” Pinky whispered, “You are hereby ordered to come with me to the conformitorim!” “Would you guys quit following me around, I haven’t done squat.” “And you’re coming too!” He picked up Pinky “For fraternizing with a criminal.” “What, that’s not cool! narf.” “Alright, Alright you win just let me get my stuff.”

 Suddenly Nora whacked the police guy with her staff. She put her shop stuff in a bindle and ran off, Pinky followed. “This is crazy if I die here my mom’s gonna kill me!” “I won’t let him hurt you. A talking mouse is much more useful alive.” They turned a corner ”WOOHOO!” Nora shouted as she grabbed Pinky and flew into the air with her staff. Pinky forced his eyes closed, tearing up a bit “You can open up your eyes now little mouse.” He did, looking down he latched onto Nora’s shoulder. “Flying staffs, scary monsters, you’re a witch, what is this place? zort?” 

“This is the Boiling Isles, every myth the humans have is caused by a little of our world leaking into yours.” “A griffin!” Pinky pointed at the beast as it breathed spiders “I knew it!” “Yep, griffins, vampires, giraffes, we banished those guys” “whoa.” They landed and 

Nora jumped off the staff, leaving one of her hands behind. “Gahhh!” “Oops, that happens sometimes.” She screwed it back on. ”Well I have had enough adventure for today.

This is definitely not the fantasy world I’ve always dreamed about. So can you help me get 

Back home? Troz?” “Only if you help me first,” Nora said.

 “Deal!”

They looked over a giant building with a huge eye. “Whoa, Aren’t  those meanie mean guards finding us?” “Nope, my house has a state-of-the-art defense system!” “Hoot-squeak password, please? OW!” Nora poked the mouse owl thing in the eyes “No time for this Larry let us in!” “Alright Alright Jeez you never want to have any fun, ow, squeak!” Larry’s mouth opened wide and they walked through. 

“Welcome to…” She snapped her fingers and magical things started happening everywhere “...The Owl House! Where I hide from the pressures of modern life. Also cops, ex-boyfriends, etc. “This place is amazing! Do you live here all alone?” 

Then all of a sudden loud giant stomps shook the house. “Actually I have a roommate.” Nora said. Pinky went behind Nora. He hoped her roommate doesn't eat mice. “Who dares intrude upon me, The King of Demons” A cute little...something came out with a ducky hood towel and a rubber duck. Pinky stood in awe of how cute they were.

 “Oh! My! Narf! Nora, they’re sooo CUTE! Who’s a wittle guy?! Who’s a wittle guy?! Is it you?! Is it you?!” Pinky jumped up on them and scratched behind their ears. “No! I don’t know who your little guy is! Nora, who is this little monster?!” The adorable creature grabbed Pinky by the tail, putting him off their ears. Nora took him in her hand holding Pinky up. “Oh, this is Pinky, a talking mouse and possible help for our situation.”

 “Oh. Hooray!” 

“Wait-Wait-Wait, I don’t like the sound of this “situation”.” Pinky said. “Just let me explain…” said Nora as she drew a glowing yellow circle in the air with her fingers. “Wakko warner was once a great king of demons and...creatures like themself. But warden Wrath stole their crown and locked it behind a door that only a human could get through. Or maybe a small animal like you.” 

“Naaaarfff…” the glowing circle showed the whole story in a cool storybook way. “If you help us retrieve their crown we’ll send you back to your realm, what do ya say? Plus who can’t say no to this lil cutie.” Nora said as she picked up wakko (they was somehow now wearing a blue sweater). “DON’T ENCOURAGE HIM!” “I mean we are kinda your only way home.” “So I don’t have a choice do I?” Pinky said. ”Nope! Now we have no time to lose!” Nora said as she put Pinky on her shoulder. “Where are we going anyway?” Pinky asked. “Somewhere super fun!”

XXX

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   “The comformatorium” Nora said  as they arrived.”A place for those considered unsuitable for society.” “Zort! This doesn’t look like a fun place to me.” Pinky said. He looked at a wanted poster for Nora “They really got the hots for you.” “Yup!” She winked, “But we never got caught because we’re too slippery.” “Try to catch me when I’m covered in grease, I’m a squirmy little fella!” Wakko added, “You and I will sneak up to the top of the tower where they’re keeping my crown.” They said pointing at the tower

 “And I’m gonna make sure the warden is distracted” Nora said.”Can I wear a disguise?’’ Pinky said with excitement. “Uhhhh....” Nora said, confused. “I’ve always wanted to do this!” Pinky flipped his cat hoodie on.”Look at me! I’m a kitty cat! Narf!” Nora and Wakko looked at Pinky’s disguise “It’s hideous!”  “Oh you’ll fit right in!” Nora used her staff to create a flying disc for Wakko and Pinky “Hang on tight you two!” It brought them up to a window. Wakko grabbed the ledge, Pinky clung to their hat. Nora activated her staff “See you guys at the top of the tower and flew away. 

The two young creatures climbed into the window. Their eyes met with the sight of thousands of prison cells, spiraling upward. “Hey Cat-mouse.” came a voice from behind them, they turned around. “How did you get out of your cell?” “Oh I’m not a cat.” Pinky took down his hood “or a criminal. Zort.”

 “Not yet, you’re not.” Wakko giggled. 

“Neither are we.” the cat in the cell said bitterly. 

“The stupid warden likes to lock people up who don’t fit in. Like I like to write fics about foods falling in love. I like food, I like love, just let me write about it!” 

“I’m here because I like eating my own eyes.” A dog said next to the cat 

“We are agents of expression, they cannot silence us”  a little chubby mouse said 

“yeah he’s really into conspiracy theories.” 

“The world is a simulation. We play things for a higher being.” The criminalized animals spoke of their woes and Pinky grew more upset by the word. 

“These aren’t crimes! None of you did anything wrong! What if they locked me in jail every time I say narf!”

 Then Pinky realized. 

“You’re all just a bunch of weirdos..... like me. troz. “ Just then the chamber started to shake.

“It’s the warden! You two got to hide!” 

 Pinky and Wakko ran to an empty cell to hide.They huddled together in fear. Not saying a word. 

“I can hear you!” A big burly man slammed the door open. 

“Just what are you whispering about” suddenly his voice became far less menacing and a bit dopey. He looked down at the wanted poster that had fallen to the floor.

“Ah The Owl Lady…” he picked it up. His hand morphed into a hammer around it. Ralph slammed his shifted limb into the cell door Pinky and Wakko sat behind.

“I’ll get my hands on her soon enough.”

“Fight against the oppressor we’ll resist! We will conquer! We’ll never be afraid of you, big creep!” Egwind said.

Without a word, Ralph opened the cell that Egwind was in.

“Hooray I’m free!”

But then ralph grabbed egwind and carried him to the torture room

“Let this be a lesson to all of you. There’s no place in society for people who don’t fit in.” He squeezed the mouse in his fist. Ralph loudly stomped out.

“Don’t worry we can get you out!” Pinky confidently assured the prisoners. He led Wakko to the cat and dog’s cell. They pushed the lever up but it wouldn’t budge.

“Nooooo! my weak mouse arms!” Pinky cried. 

“Just get out of here while you still can kid.” She signed “enjoy freedom for us.”

The duo looked dismayed but carried on into the next room.

“Hey, I just checked the warden is distracted tormenting a tiny creature.” Nora said flying next to Pinky and Wakko. “He won’t be coming around here anytime soon.” 

“That’s nice…” Pinky said sadly. Nora looked at pinky concerned 

“You alright?”

“Yeah. let’s just get Wakko’s crown back.”

Pinky, Nora, and Wakko walked to the contraband where Wakko’s crown was placed 

"My crown! I can taste its power! Wakko said as they ran to the front door and tried to break it .

"Awwww they're so cute when they're hungry for power." Nora cooed.

" I don’t get it, Nora, " Pinky said sadly. "They all in here for just being themselves. Why does everyone think being weird is bad? Poit."

[artyandink]

Hi! Could I please request a matchup for Lockwood & co? 🫶🏻

my pronouns are she/her and I’m asexual biromantic, so any gender is fine. I’m an ESFJ and a Gemini. I have green eyes and short black hair with blue strands, my haircut is similar to a soft mullet. I dress with goth/ fairy grunge clothes. I wear lots of rings and love to exchange them with others.

I’m the mom friend of the group, always there for everyone and my friends say that I’m really good at comforting people. I’m also calm and responsible, I usually am the one that takes care of other people. I’m very optimistic, I always try to see the good in everything and I often put other’s needs before my own, I would do everything for the people I care about and sometimes I’ve been told that I’m too kind for my own good. I have a sarcastic humor and I love making others laugh to lighten the situation, people say that I should be more serious and that I shouldn’t joke around so much.

I don’t like when people tell me what to do and I’m not afraid to stand up for myself or for someone else. I also dislike when someone is too serious and really can’t take a joke as I tend to use humor as my coping mechanism.

All my friends tell me I’m very smart, I get very good grades and I do well in school. I also try to help my friends with study and school as much as possible. I’m also very ambitious, I always try to achieve my goals. My love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. I absolutely love listening to music, it helps me relax and I really like reading. I also love watching horror movies even though it’s impossible to scare me. I also play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends anytime I can. also, I absolutely love musicals and I’m definitely a theatre kid.

I really hope I didn’t write to much, have a great day :)

I ship you with...

TURSTIN YARIS-HERNANDEZ

Y'all who haven't seen my series 'the girl who kindness forgot' are probably wondering who Turstin is. He's the adopted brother of my signature OC Artemis, and yes, he's not in the actual media.

Based on everything you gave me, I had things that matched up to numerous characters but Turstin popped into my mind and it fit perfectly.

Turstin will be the supportive boyfriend who will help you achieve your goals and ambitions, using his resources to do so as the brother of a multi-trillionaire. It's a win, amirite? But you're not a gold digger. You loved him even before you knew he was rich and that's all that matters.

Your hair told him you like the colour blue, so over time you'd notice splashes of blue in his outfit, could it be his shirt, jeans, trainers or watch strap. You saw it somewhere and it's adorable. And you had an intense interest with the many rings Turstin owns, especially his family ring that he wore on his ring finger, admiring it's beauty. He sometimes lets you borrow it because he trusts you, but it's something close to his heart so you keep great care of it.

Turstin has the same love language as you, so maybe if you're walking together he'd keep your pinky fingers entwined, not too forward but just keeping you close.

Your fiery spirit is what he loves a lot about you. You're not afraid to stand up to anyone, and that gets him going.

"YEAH, THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND, SUCKA!"

He's not afraid to get in fights himself, he's had military and hand to hand combat. High achiever like you, I see.

"THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND, YOU LITTLE-"

Anyway, you both are such fun together, and I hope you're not too thrown off by my decision. If y'all want a fic with Turstin, do say!

Artemis :)

finally after long years of slowly gathering supplies and collecting materials, ive been able to begin my altar and restart the process of practicing faith. im really happy for two main reasons;

1.) its decked the fuck out. i went ham on that sucka. i posted a pre-made photo b4 actually doing my finishing touches as ill be damned 5 times before anyone catches me lacking about my spiritual privacy

2.) but also honestly thank fuck for having the bloodline connection b/c lowkey how awkward would that have been to knock at a door u have no connection too. like at least they be seeing the trials and tribulations ive been going thru, now showing up like “my bad yall, mom was trying to kill me can i get a pass on that”

[locus-p0cus]

My parents recently went to a religious activity at my dad's cousin's house, where they played True Colors on the guitar and sang it together. At this activity, they ran into some friends of theirs who have a young trans daughter, under ten. In the state we live in, there was recently a bill passed that children under the age of eighteen cannot change their name, no matter the circumstance. The last I had heard of this family, they had been trying to get through the courts to change their daughter's name before the bill passed.

My parents came home and told me that not only had they made it through courts before the law passed, it had also been set up in such a way that the school is legally required to change her name and not show in any capacity that her name and pronouns had ever been anything else. But that's not the best part.

This is also set up in such a way that if a law ever passes that they have to undo the name change, that in in the school records it would show that she had Originally been Female before the change to male name and pronouns, because of the way the law passed had been worded.

My 40 year old, religious dad's words were: "I don't think I've ever flipped a double bird before, but if I had been in the courtroom with those lawmakers when the bill passed, if they ever heard the story of this girl, I think that would be my first time. Like, take that, Suckas!"

In conclusion: Yes, there's a mother out there buying her son a binder. There's also some parents fighting tooth and nail through the court system to change their daughter's name, and there's my mom who set up a support group for people in our Church and Area who need help understanding their queer children. And there's my dad flipping mental double birds while calling our representatives about this bill and trying to convince them not to pass it.

And it's been really hard lately, so it's really important to share trans joy and fortune in-between all the hate and misinformation and propaganda.

So thank you :)

gonna throw up and cry and sob i just talked to a mom whos trying to understand her trans son and she just cared so much about trying to do things right and be there for him and i helped her find binder suppliers and how to make sure not to wear it for too long and

hewwo :3

if you still take requests and are writing for the lost boys, how would they react to having an (AFAB or gender nuetral) s/o who is like.. 20x smarter than david, 40x more reckless than are and she or they are ABSOLUTE BADASS. They have a kickass attitude and fashion like Cruella de vil(not the disney one! If you know which im talking about, the one with emma stone it UGH she is amazing♡♡)

Maybe she also has a motorcycle? its lot faster than theirs and micheal combined.

(this can be headcanons if you want it to be! and sorry if you dont write for female readers, I apologize)

a/n: LET ME TELL U I SCREAMED READING THIS AND MY FRIENDS ON VC WE’RE LIKE: “🤨 this dude crazy” also yes i will be doing hc bc i SUCK also material girl energy💅✨ i added star as well bc my girl deserves some love <3 also sry for the end it’s kinda rushed since i stayed up until 4 am writing this 😭

The Lost Boys with a badass s/o

ok so the first time they notice you was when you had parked your motorcycle in ‘their’ spot and they were like “who tf does this person think they are?!?” but when they got a closer look at your motorcycle they noticed that it was a newer model that costed a pretty penny $ that and the fact that it was A LOT better than theirs, they were pissed to say the least… 👁👁

so when Paul FINALLY sniffed you out from the crowded boardwalk they were intrigued….I mean it’s not every day people that wear… a leather jacket in hot weather? That and the fact that you were practically running and screaming around the boardwalk dragging your friend.

so they just continued to watch over you guys until you and your friend parted ways. “So your the one who’s taken our spot” david responded aggressively as you climbed on your motorcycle. “i didn’t see your name on it jackass” and with that you started up your bike and WOOSH. AND THE FUNNIEST PART IS THAT THEY TRIED TO CATCH UP BUT THEY COULDN’T BECAUSE YOUR BIKE WAS TOO FAST “SEE YA SUCKAS’” if they weren’t pissed before they DEFINITELY were now

and now every time you go back there (listen that video store has some really good movies that not a lot of other shops have!) you always see them and talk to them, well mostly them hitting on you because they thought you were cute but they swear that’s not the reason why they keep hoping to see you down at the video store. And let me tell you, Max is FED UP with having to deal with them going in the store EVERY DAY and asking whether or not you visited.

but eventually they start growing on you and when you accepted their request to join them at the cave Marco had the biggest grin on the whole night! David was kinda pouty because every. single. time. you somehow knew the answers to EVERYTHING he would say! Ngl the guys were snickering the whole time bc you kept outsmarting him so eventually he shut up. Micheal would sit next to you and steal some glances at you and when you turned your head he would act as if he wasn’t looking! <3 Star would always ask about your outfits, always asking questions about where you got it and how you managed to style the clothes. Dwayne wouldn’t say much but he would keep staring at you but wouldn’t look away he’d just… 👁👁

so when you guys all start dating i have a feeling that Star would be the most clingy, like she would hold your arm, try to make you laugh or smile by making jokes, dead stare anyone who tries to hit on you OH AND whenever you go out and do some stupid shit she’ll give you that ‘mom stare’ with her arms crossed (please stop hurting yourself when you go out she always worries about you!)

Marco is your personal delivery guy, if you need anything just ask him and he’ll run to the store to get it for you, but in return he asks for a kiss or a hug ;)

Paul likes to ask you a bunch of question a on your music taste and force you to listen to his music also likes race you with your bike (even though he always loses)

for the 2 blondes they’ll always be by your side trying to encourage you to do smth stupid (ofc if you’re not comfortable they’ll stop immediately) most of the time it woks and you guys end up having to run away from the cops but it’s all in good fun! Plus what’s life without a little excitement?! Besides they’re vampires what’s the worst that can happen?

now… for Dwayne at the beginning he doesn’t really know how to show he loves you. Like yeah he’s been with the gang for a long time but they know him so it’s different. He would try to give you lots of gifts, especially shiny things like jewelry, rocks, books, clothes basically anything he’d think you’ll like.

Micheal likes to spend quality time with you so that means he loves to take you out on dates: walking around the boardwalk, watching the fireworks, going to concerts, takeout on the beach (beach date!) yeah stuff like that :)

David likes to try to outsmart you even thought the end result is always the same: he asks you a question then you reply coyly and he tries to counter you with an other question that you know the answer to. >:| it really gets him riled up so just go cuddle with him and he’ll let it go just because it’s you…

but all together y’all make a huge cuddle pile with a bunch of blankets and hang out in the cave while marco and paul bounce off the walls.

lumity headcanons now that they're canon gfs!!

luz really likes touching amity's hair. it's as soft as it looks, and it really does feel like cotton candy (smells like it too)

luz and amity write each other poems!! luz tries to make hers classy and sophisticated, because she thinks amity would like them like that because amity is Cool And Classy, but they turn out being really dorky and sweet.

amity loves them anyway, and saves every single one

amity, at first, gets kinda really overwhelmed by physical affection. overwhelmed in a good way though. she likes being held by luz- whether from hugs, or cuddles, or being picked up bridal style

whenever luz gets too worried about what her future entails, and whether or not she'll see her mom again, and whether she'll see amity again if she does find a way home- amity places her hand on luz's and gives her a comforting kiss on the cheek

it's enough for luz, even if she'll never stop completely worrying

luz makes silly jokes about proposing with ring pops and chicken rings and anything vaguely ring shaped. amity doesn't know what a ring pop even is, but she giggles fondly anyway

(luz loves the sound of amity's laughter)

azura book club.

"i'm telling you, in book three you can clearly tell that the narrative twists are reflective of azuras internal conflict-" "no it's clearly sloppily written!!-"

they draw together!! luz doodles on amity's homework. amity says "luz stop it i have to turn this stuff in" but amity never erases the doodles. (she loves them)

luz and amity have to hide their relationship from amity's parents.

occasional hijinks ensue

amity helps luz with glyph study!! whenever luz stays up too late trying to figure out a combo, amity brings her hot chocolate and murmurs "come to bed soon, you need sleep you know"

luz appreciates it so much she almost cried a few times

amity picks up on some stuff luz does

at first she didn't understand what "shhdjsjejwjdkdkd" meant but now she keymashes every other text

amity starts saying "for i am amity, warrior of peace! now eat this sucka!!!!"

luz picks up on amity's little things too

because ✨yes✨

amity and luz love dancing together

they're blushy messes

lovable dorks <3

Which NCT boy could I beat in a fight; a discussion

yours truly is feeling nasty today and who better to destroy than 23 idiots (mom i love them but i wanna kick their ass)

let's get it

taeil: the most powerful thing about him is his voice, this man built like a grandpa, i'm not sorry. one good kick in the shin would be enough to floor him

taeyong: he's the softest bitch i've ever seen. my scorpio bloodlust is too much for his weak cancer ass, i'd knee him in the nuts and he'd apologise to me for standing in my way

johnny: this man is the textbook definition of chaotic evil, i would not fight him even if you paid me. he would play dirty and use his height to intimidate me but i feel like he wouldn't attack me at all. he'd just smile at me calmly and cage me in with his giant man body and i'd be done

yuta: it's tricky with yuta, 'cause i kinda wanna fight him for scorpio dominance but i also know it won't end well for me. unlike johnny, he would attack me and strike me down. but he couldn't intimidate me enough to give up so he better bring his best game

doyoung: i feel like i could take him in a physical fight bit not a verbal one you know? like yeah i could fuck up his kneecaps but he could verbally traumatise me like a champ. something about him reminds me of my very balkan mother and that makes me uneasy. could easily picture him threatening me with a wooden spoon

kun: he's too nice and patient to outfight fight me even if i attack first, would try to persuade me to talk it out but i'm not here for a chat motherfucker. i would knock him unconscious with an uppercut, but make sure he safely falls on a soft armchair

ten: i would never fight him, are you kidding me? he's an apsolute legend

jaehyun: i would beat his ass at the drop of a hat, dumbass white boy. he's higher than a kite 97% of time, bitchboy wouldn't even notice me swinging at him. i would right hook him square in the face and it would feel so good

winwin: i would fight him for that sweet scorpio dominance and i would win. listen i know he's a classicaly trained dancer and i'd use it against him. he'd be wasting too much time on looking ellegant and not enough on catchin deez hands

jungwoo: he looks all cute and innocent but i'm telling you he's one sadistic motherfucker. i'd run away from him the way you run away crying from a horror house at the fair

lucas: he has the bodyodyody for it but he's too slow for me, i'd scratch him up like catpost. he also wouldn't take the fight seriously 'cause he's friendly like that which creates a perfect opening for me to punish him with my claws

mark: i would never fight mark, can you imagine how tired this man is? also i feel like he becomes hella terrifying when he gets MAD mad and and i apsolutely don't wanna be at the recieving end of that

xiaojun: i could make him cry like a baby with my words only

hendery: it's like when your brother tries to play fight you, he swings a lost to scare you but is actually completely useless. makes those woosh noises and keeps going "u wanna fight huh u wanna fight me?...! c'mon sucka fight me wooooosh pow pewpew wooshhh" yeah i'd be threw with him in only clean punch

yangyang: i'd break his chicken legs and eat sushi with them

shotaro: he's adorable, why would i fight him? kawaii ass tiktok boy smh

sungchan: i have previously wished to fight his virgo ass but upon seeing his rap in misfit i've changed my mind, he gets a free pass but just this once

renjun: i'd fight him with such joy, he's all bark but no bite i'm telling you. i'd wrestle him, pin him down and pull the "why're you hitting yourself" trick. he'd surrender soon after because i would annoy him into it. as he limps away from me i hear him mutter "...bitch" under his breath but you know what i've hurt him enough for one day, so i let it slide

jeno: my lovely taurus boy, i could never fight you. i love tauruses too much y'all i can't. he deserves cuddles and warm drinks

haechan: oh i'd whoop his ass sooooo fast, he'd see me approach him from the distance and he'd already know it's over. i'd make him scream like a little girl no cap

jaemin: this is a 10/10 lil fuck. i would never fight him because i like him too much. it's a joy to watch him simply exist in his own weird, wonderful way. he's just a stupid cute boy and i wanna pet his hair

chenle: he's also too much of a legend for me to even attempt it and honestly i don't really want to. i adore that young man with all my heart, he's just a really cool chill dude with good vibes. i don't doubt for a second that he could beat my ass though, he is a sadist and has no mercy

jisung: i wanna protect him from the world, dog. only thing he's getting from me are words of encouragement, never fists. god bless him

that is all

[sunflower1experiment]

Bursts through the wall

WASSUP BITCH! I REQUEST A LOT OF STUFF SO WHY NOT ADD THIS. DANGANRONPA X CHILD WARRIOR OF HOPE READER. LIKE THE READER IS EITHER NAGISA, MONACA, KOTOKO OR JATARO. DO THIS IF YOU WANT, of course platonic. Also sorry for the wall. I really like how you write and I have no motivation.

Does the Junko wave meanwhile fading away.

SUCKA THAT MY WALL!!! 😭 jk

WARRIORS OF HOPE READER X DANGANRONPA

Hina and Sakura

“AWHHH YOU’RE SO CUTE!” She squished your cheeks a lot, “HEY STOP! I’m the ultimate leader! Quit it! STOP! I NEED TO WORK IN THE GYM AAAGHHHH!”

She gives the best hugs (Y/N) why are you tripping! Plus Sakura and Hina are your new moms now.

Sakura usually carries you around whenever you’re worn out. Or Hina let’s you relax on her back while she does push ups.

Sometimes whenever you feel a bit left out though the best mom’s in the world give you gentle hugs and kisses.

“Hey mom-“ Hina cried when you called her mom. “Um…Ma-“ Sakura is officially your ma now: oh and she had to have a quiet moment because you called them mom!

“MY MOMS ARE LIT!” You’ll yell every time someone asks about your mom’s, “AND I’M NOT MAKING A SCENE! YOU ASKED AND STARTED JUDGING! AGHH!” Now you’re vigorously running laps around the gym room. Your mother’s watched in silence. “…..I worry for them.”

Chiaki and Ibuki

“So you two are my new older aunts?” Ibuki grins, “YEP! How does it feel to have two cool aunts.” You poker face, “Welp…couldn’t be worse.” Chiaki gently punched your head that day.

You’re smart so they expected some smart remarks, but you didn’t. You just kept to yourself and worked until Chiaki told you to relax: she then let you sit on her lap.

Nap time? Okay so why did Ibuki have to sing a lullaby just so you could name? And the lullaby wasn’t even gentle it was loud: so Chiaki came around the corner and played a calm game for you.

So you enjoy relaxing now: sorta, you’re very rigid around them. They always checked on your health, cared for you and you just think about how you’ve tried so hard to have them killed. The thought of the time you were being the warrior of hope sorta made you feel bad, “Hey you okay?” You nod then lean on Ibuki’s arm.

Toko and Komaru

“Weeee!” You ran with your arms spread out around your new mom’s. “(Y/N) watch where you’re going-Ooh!” Toko yelped as Komaru scooped her up immediately, “Sorry. She was going to ram into you.”

You’re the wild actress and well they love that about you. It’s just you try so hard to protect so many cute things: other girls, boys, animals even bugs. So they called Gonta and Gundham to get them, other kids would have clubs with you so they felt better about not having any friends.

“Whatcha makin.” You smile and continue crafting gently telling your moms to avoid peeking. “Here you go mom!” Toko held the paper, “A poem…” you then gave your other mom a crafted snowflake. “I love you guys!”

Your uncle Byakuya babysits you and you like to bombard him with gifts too. Does he keep them? Heck yes, he just won’t admit it. Just don’t ask about the paper frown on his head, he’ll personally berate anyone who asks. Kyoko however is your favorite rich aunt, but you always bother Makoto your other uncle about her. “Why won’t auntie Kyoko let me do her hair!?” Makoto snickers. “Sweetie last time you did she cried.” Kyoko had the same hairstyle you gave her for quite awhile.

Best family in the world. But your favorite mom is neither, because she lets you avoid nap time sometimes…or they both sleep with you or Komaru sneaks off to steal candy.

Mondo and Taka

“Blaaaahhh.” You paw at Taka with your mask then climb in his arms. “Yes?” You stare, then bite his arm and cling to him. “Mondo he’s biting again.” Mondo picks you up. “Kid we told ya! Quit the hitting or Imma ground Ya, Taka is not a giant chocolate bar.” You huff, “But he looks like one.”

You’re a quirky child, they love you but wow do you have no filter. “Papa Mondo, do you and dad always hold hands? Because you guys seem to have aggressive thumb rubbing moments too.” Taka stops rubbing his husband’s knuckles. “What that got to do with drawing us?” “I CANT DRAW DAD!” Mondo made you sleep in his arms after that. Nap time sucks!

You occasionally wait for uncle Hiro to walk in with Leon so you could jump them. But Hiro keeps predicting it and Mondo just carries you like a football. “Cranky boy five o’clock.” Taka chuckles before taking your mask off. You look around, “I feel naked.”

“Well you need to take this off sometime.” He then kissed your cheek. Kisses are now your favorite, you try to give it to everyone. Sometimes when you see Mondo you kiss him on the head and point at Taka. “Now smooch my dad!” They blush. “PUCKER UP PA! PUCKER UP!!”

Makoto and Kyoko

You have a strange smile, Kyoko took a liking because you knew how to keep a straight face during the scary times of adoption. But you were still an evil little gremlin and had the remnants of Junko’s plan in your head.

So they carefully taught you how to do better. You keep a Monokuma bot around to hug when you feel upset, “I wanna cuddle…” Makoto sweats. “Um-“ “(Y/N) wants cuddles!” You cuddle into him.

Kyoko doesn’t do cuddles but she does acknowledge your small achievements and efforts. Sometimes pats on the head is all you get until you one day sleep beside the woman. Makoto takes pictures of you both.

“When is aunt Komaru coming?” Makoto chuckles, “Soon.” And soon she did, with Toko and Kotoko. You drag Kotoko away and spend time with her since she’s the “love of your life” she gives the best hugs and nuzzles. Sometimes you both are found asleep on the floor in the middle of drawing.

Makoto is the pushover dad when it comes to physical affection. Kyoko just lays you on her chest and relaxes beside you, “I love my adoptive parents. They’re better than those demon parents and my demon brother!” They love you too, and still working on your mental state.

Symmetry in the Owl House

Dana Terrace loves her narrative symmetry. We've seen it play out large scale and small scale, short-term and long term.

Consider the three times we've heard the line, "Now eat this, sucka!" In the cold open of 1.1, A Lying Witch and a Warden, during Luz book report. Again at the end of that episode, as she uses Owlbert on his staff as a baseball bat to hurl fireworks into Warden Wrath's mouth. And now again in the cold open of 2.1, Separate Tides.

And that cold open as a whole also has callbacks to other early season 1 elements. The intimidating voice and shadow of Garlog (and the ultimate reveal) reflect the original entrance of King. The "King as Dog" gag recalls Eda eating Adegast at the end of 1.2, Witches Before Wizards.

You get the idea. Callbacks and Parallels have always been a thing in the Owl House. But certain things about the new season started gnawing away at my brain yesterday after watching 2.1, Escaping Expulsion, and I wanted to get them down.

The A-plot, B-plot structure of 2.1, Escaping Expulsion, is entirely parallel; something we don't usually see. Luz and Lilith both feel guilty about the impacts of their actions on the people they care about (in this episode, specifically Eda); they both throw themselves recklessly into a quest hoping to atone and are quickly taught a lesson about the value of relying on and helping each other.

Lilith, in her B-plot, learns this lesson; we get the delightful friendship of Lilith and Hooty out of it, and that seems to be something that will be running strong throughout the rest of the series. Luz, maybe hasn't gotten it yet. She, even before this, had a tendency to through herself headlong into helping and didn't always get or rely on help, even when it was available; but she did do it sometimes, and I want to look at why.

That'll be a bit later though, since we need to look at 2.1, Escaping Expulsion, first. The A-plot, B-plot this time isn't as obviously parallel, but its still there; let's hope that the B-plot foreshadows somethings for the A-plot parallels.

In the A-plot, Luz and Co. fight against expulsion; after the initial group attempts to get back into the school, once Willow and Gus are dragged home, Luz goes it solo. Some might say she *tried* to get help, but I'm not so sure. She knew Willow and Gus, in addition to being grounded, wouldn't help her negotiate with Odalia and Alador (Willow very specifically said so); and yes, she went to Amity for help, help getting a meeting with Odalia. Luz acknowledges that Amity is scared of her mom; given what she'd seen up to this point, she likely knew that Amity wouldn't be able to stand up to her mom in the conversation. She likely just wanted the moral support of Amity coming with her, even just to the door of the manor.

So Luz makes the deal on her own. She fights alone. When Amity realizes whats happened, she immediately runs off to find Gus and Willow (in that order, we'll get to that). The three of them then rush to the warehouse… and bicker about how to get in. They have very different personalities and approaches to problem sovling. Amity's and Willow's are effectively opposites; Amity is direct and quick, Willow's is discrete and slow. I'm fairly sure that Gus chiming in with his ostentatious but ultimately misdirection-based plan is what stopped the two from getting into a fiercer argument; instead, we simply got the three trying to talk over each other.

The twins show up and give them another way in. Inside, Amity effectively goes with her plan, leaving Willow and Gus to get caught by the guards. Amity gets her big damn hero moment, stands up to her parents, gets Luz blushing (I'll come back to this in another post), and the Abomoton 2.0 shuts down.

Over in the B-plot, we get to see Eda and Lilith regress to their teenage years and bicker like schoolgirls. Like with Amity and Willow, this comes down to their opposite approaches to a problem; Lilith likes order and structure, Eda prefers freedom and creativity. Both are valid, in fact Eda's in closer to modern teaching practice; but you need some foundation (best learned by Lilith's method) to understand what kind of innovations its possible/safe to try. In the end, the sisters work out their differences: Eda is willing to take a bit of time and learn the basic rules, and Lilith is ready to take her basics and begin innovating.

The Clawthorne sisters still approach problems differently, I'm sure we'll see that in the future; but they understand the others point of view, and are willing to compromise and work together now a bit more than before. Amity, Willow, and Gus… not so much. They haven't learned that lesson yet; Ed and Em cut them off from the argument, and once inside, Amity bulled ahead on her own. It worked (and it was glorious) but the issue is STILL THERE.

Really, that's the whole issue of the season, I think. Learning when (and likely when not) to set aside differences, compromise, and work together. Belos talks about the "Day of Unity", but I'm getting the vibe that his idea of "Unity" is total subjugation under a single command, his; the best way to combat that is ACTUAL unity: teamwork and friendship and love.

And Luz. Luz needs to shake off her funk. She's getting there, but she's much more a lone problem solver than she was in Season 1.

FULL REVIEWS: "A Lying Witch and a Warden"

When the show was first announced I was ecstatic for a number of reasons. The first was the promotional art. It was beautiful and mysterious. It looked like something new, something fresh. The second thing was that the main character shared my mom’s name, Luz. When I told my mom, she said that she grew up not liking her name because it was different from everyone else’s. 

Then the show came out and I liked it. I really did. I promised myself that after the crap I went through with Star vs the Forces of Evil, I’d never get super into a show ever again. I’m still into this show, but I’m not going crazy like I used to. That being said, I haven’t actually watched the first episode in a while. Let’s see when happens when we see how this all started.

So I just re-watched the first episode on YouTube and it wasn’t bad. First episodes and pilot episodes have historically never really been my favorite because you do have to sit through a bunch of introductions and exposition. Who is this? What is that? Where are we? Why are we doing anything? That old chestnut. And to be honest, it’s as awkward and clunky as any first episode is. What really saves it for me is the humor. My god I forgot how funny these jokes are. 

“I am the Good Witch Azura, Warrior of Peace...NOW EAT THIS SUCKA!!!” is a great way to start the show and set the humor’s tone.

Luz’s introduction isn’t bad but I’m still not big on how they’re labeling her as a weirdo when (to me) she seems more like a hyper fangirl or even just a regular fangirl. I don’t know how old some of you are, but when I was in school I was the weirdo for liking superheroes and cartoons especially in South Texas where you’re supposed to like football and...I dunno, some second thing but the football was a really big deal. But in 2020, geek culture is a little more mainstream so Luz shouldn’t be labelled so much a weirdo. Disruptive? Aw hell yeah.

But seriously, only the griffin thing is worth a visit to the principal’s office. Like come on, guys. It’s a bit much. 

I’ve heard some people say that The Boiling Isles is the same fantasy world they’ve seen before. I don’t think so. The Boiling Isles is was more gross. Everything has extra teeth or extra eyes or blinks in a way it’s not supposed to. It’s not darker or edgier but it is dirtier and grimy. I think it’s different enough in that way.

Eda is a real treat and I love Wendy Malik’s performance. I love all the voice acting here. Eda’s introduction is also great to show us that she’s powerful but a con artist. She’s the most powerful witch in The Boiling Isles selling “human artifacts” but she has no idea what they are or what they do and hasn’t bothered to find out. All she cares about is that people will spend big money on things that seem exotic. Especially stupid people.

.

After the gang gets away from the guard that’s when I think the episode speeds up the pace. Things quickly happen from one thing to the next. Eda explains what The Boiling Isles is, explains what The Owl House is (title drop, oh!), explains King, explains the main plot of the episode and it’s like we have to do it NOW. And of course they do. It’s only a twenty-two minute episode. Then we get to the conformatorium (spelling?) and this is where I kinda have the same problem with the episode that everyone else does.

All the dialogue starts to get really heavy-handed about “weirdos” “not fitting in is okay” and “it’s not criminal to be an individual.” I don’t want to sound like Doug Walker or anything (because fuck that guy) but some of the lines here sound a bit more Disney Junior than Disney Channel to me. But again what saves it for me is the jokes. This show is damn funny! Although I will admit, “If that dumb crown is important to him then it’s important to me,” makes me tear up. 

Two more things I wanna touch up on before I end the review. First, I love the voices Alex Hirsch does. King is adorable and funny. I know a few people who aren’t the biggest fans of him or his stories but I love them. I also fucking love Hooty. Hooty is great. I think he’s hilarious. I love the voice. I love his dialogue. I love how everyone reacts to him. Just don’t change a thing about Hooty. 

Hooty hoot hoot!

Lastly the ending which gave me different thoughts that I have never thought of before until this recent viewing, but fuck Luz really pushed herself in there didn’t she? I mean, from Eda’s perspective she has NO idea what Luz is talking about. She has NO context or frame of reference for summer camp or witch training. It’s like all of a sudden it’s, “Hey give me free room and board and feed me and teach me to be a witch which you know is fundamentally impossible for humans.” I mean, I like Luz and I want her to succeed which is why the ending works for a lot of people but Eda’s confusion is genuine and understandable.

 FINAL SCORE: 4 - Liked It

It’d give it a 3 except I really do think the jokes are really funny.

Forgiving Your Parents

I know too many people who’ve experienced some form of trauma from their parents. This isn’t a blog about bashing your folks- this is hopefully a post that will help salvage some strained parent and child relationships. Cause I been there, done that-and understanding your parent is only feasible if your parent is interested in understanding you.

My disclaimer is this: The child isn’t responsible for mending the relationship...solely. I’mma tell you like this, if your parent doesn’t want anything to do with you...skip em’.

   Because that’s backwards as hell and that takes away from loving yourself. Anyway you chop it, if you find yourself forcing yourself on a “parent”, the relationship isn’t going to go anywhere-AND THAT’S NOT YOUR FAULT OR CONCERN. YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL! YOU ARE EXTREMELY WORTHY. I’m so sorry your people ain’t solid; it’s a reflection of them-not you.

It’s my belief that something is wrong with a person if they want no parts of having a relationship with their child. Literally so messed up from their own unhealed traumas that they can’t find it within themselves to love someone they created…

Ain’t no fixing on that unless you take they ass to a therapist.

Moving on.

I’ve always had such a strong feeling in my gut when I come across new people. It’s like they look at me and think I got it all. Truly looking at me and seeing a woman who doesn’t have insecurities or childhood traumas spotted along her path cause I’m kind and always make it a point to smile like Granny told me.

    I’m usually a private person. But its always been that ‘pull’ on me-telling me… “It’s another little girl that is going through the same stuff you went through. Say that shit anyway. And with your chest.” .

Think about it...

Can’t a soul embarrass you about some stuff you open about. That takes all the fun out of their miserable lives if folks know wassup already.

    So as a 22 year old woman that been through some mess with her people, let me share pieces of me. Cause the last thing you want on your conscience is one of your parents passing and ya’ll not being on the best of terms.

I was listening to Mad Bitches the other day and Mikhala Jene said something along the lines of, “Nobody living is perfect”.

That hit me a little different. Like damn...nobody walks this earth perfect so...why do we expect perfection (again, subconsciously).

THIS.

   This is why I say if your parent is trying, then work with them. If they sit down with you and tell you how life was for them coming up. The good parts, the ugly parts, and everything in-between. Trying their best to be authentic and build a bond, then meet em’ halfway (if they haven’t been on some stuff that’s just unforgivable).

And shit, our people ain’t have everything at their fingertips as we do. The apps that spread information quicker than you could sneeze, weren't available. They couldn’t go on a ‘self-care’ page to calm themselves down if triggered or go on YouTube and watch motivational videos. Not making excuses, just using a little perspective that helps me! Yet and still, let your parent(s) know if they did something to wrong you; you gotta’ have respect for yourself as a human. Period.

   I didn’t find out who my biological father was until I was about 16 years old. Up until that point I believed another man was my father (which he is still and will always be!).

Sooo...I already had abandonment issues from my parents and my dad lived in a way at that time, that all parties involved thought it was best my grandparents took us in. That’s all I know is Granny’s (& Grandpa’s) house since I was a baby.

    It helped that when my mom told me who my biological dad was, she was in a much better state of mind and stable-but man...I didn’t know what to feel. My sister was more upset than me (cause we have the same dad hypothetically).

     So many questions ran through my head that I couldn’t even cry or be mad. I was shocked. Everyone played their role so well…

There was a long road ahead of me. Not only did I have to forgive my mom and dad for lying to me for so long, but there was a father in the same city I had yet to know.

My first point is patience. If you aren’t going to be patient with an end goal for you and your parent, you’re wasting your time. Being prepared for them to fumble sometimes is mandatory if y’all going to get to a better place. You mess up on certain projects or what have you’s a few times before you get it right...right?

Give your parent the same energy if you were in their shoes. Cause baby...ain’t nothing worse than admitting your wrongs and still getting beat down. I couldn’t bring myself to be mad at my mom in that moment where she was vulnerable and upset cause she knew she played a part in hurting me. What was it gone do but make me feel bad and her feel worse?

     Blowing up wasn’t going to change what happened now 22 years ago.

Yeah, there’s hella’ books on parenting but I’mma tell y’all like my Granny told me, “There’s no such thing as a book on how to be a parent.”.

Having a child of my own- I’ve been witness to this. Folks can be shown and folks can be told on how to do certain things but with each child being different in this world, you have to be intune with them specifically- no book on that.

I was through hell and back with my mother and now we’re in an extremely better place because we both made the effort (more-so on her part 🌚).

But it was my responsibility to go into it with pure intentions and my guard down a bit after she made the effort; disappointment is what I expected sometimes cause I went into it knowing it was going to be a process.

Don’t get it confused,  my mom always knew how I was-that wasn’t the issue. The new end goal was getting to know each other again so I could understand her better so I could forgive her. That’s no sucka’ shit. Its real. Everybody in this life is going to disappoint you, one way or another. Better to know what you’re dealing with so you can assess the situation in order to better assess the person. Free game.

Another step to keep in mind is, boundaries. I just feel like it will make the whole exchange smoother-not easier- but smoother. The point of forgiving your parents and (if you chose) trying to build a relationship, is to have them know you for who you are NOW. Not when you were 5, not when you was 12...have them meet you at your level. They dropped the ball, not you. Sure...nobody asked to be here but that becomes invalid when you start having babies of your own. It’s a different ball game when you bring a life into this world. Your joys become the joy of your children but way too often we forget that our pain becomes theirs as well.

My father always tried too-the dad that I always knew as my dad. On weekends me and my sister would go to his house before he moved to Michigan. Man I was a daddies girl-still am. My grandparents had the house on lock, couldn't watch programs with cussing in it or too much violence. Life of having Southern Baptist grandparents I guess.

 The weekends at pops house was always interesting. I could watch all the music videos I wanted and watch the movies that didn't have too much goin on in them.

My dad would do different stuff with us like go to the library; he always knew I loved reading. Sometimes my dad would take us to the park or a friends house who had kids (how I met my husband), water parks, or even cooking dinner with me and my sister; plenty of quality time where I could talk to him about anything.

However, at the time, pops lived a certain lifestyle and no matter how hard he tried to shield it from us younger kids, I still seen things and experienced things a child shouldn't have. Again, comes with the lifestyle I guess.

My dad drunk...ALOT. And it was interesting to see the 'upsides' of alchoholism and the very big downsides. I'd never forget, I was maybe 8? Another weekend at my dads, just me and my sister (I have multiple brothers on that side too plus another sister), and I woke up one morning on the couch. My dad was goin through some things- all he had was a couch that he let me and my little sister sleep on. My 1st thought when I woke up was where was my dad sleeping? My sister was sleep, and it was still fairly early in the morning. I go back to the empty bedroom to find him sleep on the floor. No pillow. No cover. Just a beer in hand, laid out. That broke my heart.

Just remember feeling sad all over. I took the beer, threw it away then grabbed the pillow I had and laid it under his head. While doing so, my dad woke up, halfway and kissed my hand.

He told me straight up he loves me and he apologized. Didn't go into detail but he didn't have to. My dad never had his pops in his life, nor his mama until he was grown and was taking care of her though her illness.

I knew even at 8 years old that, that gotta hurt. I'm not gone sit here and act like I always understood the motives of my father but I tried because he always tried to understand me and til' this day, he is one of the top 3 people that KNOWS me like the back of his hand.

I had to forgive my parents because they’ve come a long way. Holding all that anger and resentment wasn’t gone help me in the long run. And in a way I can say I've helped to heal them by loving them through their screw ups. We always talk about a parents love but what about a child's love?

I don’t want to pass down my pain to my son, he don’t need that- the world will give its fair share. But everyday I pray that the world won’t hurt him bad. I want my son to be nothing less than strong mentally, emotionally, but most of all spiritually. He won’t have that unless I’m solid. So I ask myself… ‘hm, what’s still hurting me?’.

We all got a story to tell.

Love. Peace. Manifest.
