#IM NOT A MONSTER LIKE DANA

[cyberdragoninfinity]

hit by a sudden wave of realization just how much the themes and concept of reanimating forces of the past and making the dead alive again runs through yugioh 5ds’ veins. like. the whole series.

and yeah sure yugioh is often about reanimating the dead (even in duel links hi duel links <3) but good GOD. FIVE DEES. 5D’s is a show about time and that’s a talk for another day but the way that manifests so often through characters, entities, entire histories long dead and buried being brought back again...it makes me Wild. The SHEER AMOUNT of reanimated corpses (both flesh and mechanical) walking around in 5D’s. All of the Dark Signers. The Earthbound Immortals themselves, this grand evil force from long long ago now rejuvenated and ready to cause chaos again. Leo fucking DIES for a solid few minutes before the Crimson Dragon revives him with Signer powers!!!! Kalin “God of Death” Kessler died twice and came back nonetheless (and his whole thing with trying to atone for his history, being haunted by his past, that’s not far off from all of this too, isn’t it.)

Sherry yearns so desperately to bring her dead parents back, to reclaim a lost past and have it again, she’ll do anything for it. Antinomy, Paradox, Aporia, all three of these long dead old old men brought back in robotic form. Primo gets ripped clean in two and still walks again, the reanimated body of a fragment of a reanimated body, all built by Z-ONE, a man who so desperately wanted to revive the spirit and power of a hero from his era that he Remade His Entire Physical Form to “Become” Him.

just!!! MY GOD!!! every day is Dawn of the Dead in 5D’s in some way shape or form and the more I think about it the more it makes me want to chomp through a plank of wood. slash pos.

okay

this one is for all the ancient myth, folklore, urban myth, cryptid and supernatural people of tumblr

i am trying to start a folklore reading group on discord for 2025 covering all of the above categories

every month we pick a category of folklore to read around. categories can be anything. could centre around culture/period/place (eg ancient chinese myth and legend) or individual text (eg the aeneid, the poetic edda) or specific monster (eg vampires) or specific approach (eg theories of myth and their puprose eg joseph campbell)

anything is fair game from aztec myths to angelology to modern urban myths to aliens and cryptids

wed be a reading group but SUPER low key so it can fit in with everyones lives

like. im not gonna assign the same book to everyone to read by the end of the month

use whatever sources you wish - the internet, your local library, buy the specific book you think looks most useful, read/watch fictionalised retellings you think look fun

we can all use our own sources and most importantly we can recommend the ones we find the most useful to the rest of the group to help each other (or just to gush about it)!! < 3

oh and if youre an artist and you want to make art (drawing the monsters/creatures, writing your own adaptation of the story, write a self-insert where you get to shoot the monsters w/ dean winchester or dana scully or smth, writing mothman x reader fanfiction) youll get so many brownie points and everyone will think youre really cool

point is well all be reading the same broader points. so we can chat about it and discuss interpretations and make memes and show love for your favourites or complain about the dryness of your least favourites and there is so much weirdness to make fun of in myth and folklore

every month we will vote on the next topic (dont worry there will be a channel to argue about why your suggestion is the best haha) and by the end of the year well all know so much weird shit itll be great. dont you want every month of your 2025 to be defined by a weird little folklore era

well its about halfway through january when i post this meaning we'll only have half a month for the first one, no time for a vote either so if you want to hop in and start nerding out immediately january is going to be your

~ ancient japanese myth era ~

well discuss sources in the discord if you dont know where to start

but if you just want to join to wait it out so you can vote on next months subject, youre so welcome to

everyone welcome. contribute as much or as little as you like. friendliness and good vibes only!!

also ill be making a tag, "folklore2025" for people to post stuff related to this reading project thing on their tumblr if they wish

discord link below

About this post https://www.tumblr.com/the-owl-house-takes/743853619839926272/racist-toh-fans-want-to-act-like-talking-about?source=share and one of my biggest problems with toh

I complecatly agree that when it comes to the show about the real world or a world based on a real, it is important to include at least some aspects of poc culture (for example, they absolutely shoulded to it with Luz, bc there is basically no hints on her culture, except saying some Spanish words, calling friends a family and etc)

But when it comes to fantasies, like toh (or she-ra, or any other show with a similar concept and lore) where there are no real human cultures and all races live exactly the same bc It's litterally a part of the lore, It just wouldn't make sence to give, say, Amity, Willow and Gus (3 characters of different races) different cultures, bc there are no cultures in the Boiling Islands AT ALL

And that's basically my main problem with toh too, bc giving some toh characters actual human races doesn't make sence in this lore. Bc 1. It doesn't based on anything. We can see that all people on BI live the same way in almost the same places. Yeah, there are higher places on titan, like his arms, but there wasnt shown any difference in life and climate there 2. Most of the characters, who are just the same as the hexsquad and Eda, are litterally demons. They don't have any human races, they either look like unliving things (stones?) or strange monsters with unusual skin color, face and etc. And none of them have any specific culture. So it seems like all human-like switches look so not even bc they have these races, but only bc they heppened to have this kind of skin color. It could be Pink, green, blue or whatever, but it was just an accident that they happened to have a skin color that humans have.

No, Im not saying that that was what Dana planned, bc It's clearly that she wanted it to be a "representation". Im saying how it suppose to be in fact, bc this kind of representation just doesn't work.

Also, the whole thing that there are witches who are litterally just humans with elf ears is stupid, especially when all of them are suddenly main characters/ characters who have any role in the plot

If Dana wanted to make a fantsy world with demons, she shoulded either show us the difference between human demons and monster demons, or make all characters on BI look like actual monster, not elves

Bestie, your open discussion about couple songs has genuinely broken my brain. I promised myself I would sit this one out but I can’t, so you’re gonna hear it I guess…

Couple songs - Shrek edition.

I’m a rapline girlie through and through, so my top 3 is this:

Joon - As Lovers Go, Dashboard Confessional

Yoongi - Hallelujah, Rufus Wainwright

Hoseok - My Beloved Monster, Eels

And yes, I have chosen those specifically for the angst with happy ending trope that plays in my head in its worst delulu hours.

The rest of the boys is not as thought through, but here:

Seokjin - hands down, I’m a believer guy. Picture this: Jungkook challenges him for a karaoke battle. Jin is of course up for it, dedicating a song to the love of his life - cue everyone expecting some fuckass ballad. But no. He pops off with Smash Mouth like nobody’s business.

Jimin - you cannot convince me that this little shit would not be bopping around the kitchen butchering Funkytown with an array of increasingly ridiculous high pitched sounds and voices.

Taehyung - It is you (I have loved) by Dana Glover. There is no vision beyond I just think he would sound kinda good singing it with his voice?

Jungkook - Accidentally in Love. The way I’m imaging him falling in love is sort of like a cinematic shot of someone walking into a glass door.

my love this is so unbelievably unhinged i am losing my mind but SOOOOO accurate i love this so much LOL like seokjin is definitely im a believer coded and jk as accidentally in love i can see the montage as we speak AND YOONGI AS HALLELUJAH that is so delightfully painful so beautifully angsty such a fic that needs to be written honestly thank you for sharing with the class i needed this WE ALL NEED THIS

and in return i’ll share my take as bts as shrek characters bc we all know my brain broke and we on the topic anyway

seokjin would be donkey

yoongi would be shrek

jimin would be puss in boots

tae would be lord farquaad

hobi would be the gingerbread man

jk would be the dragon

joon would be fiona

[drawbudd]

so i watched the finale and. i just woke up and was like wait that Actually Happened

like i don't remember how i got into the owl house but i dont think in a hundred years i couldve expected:

-accurate depictions of abuse and the effects thereof

-openly neurodivergent main character

-exploration of "less known" lgbt identities (nb character??? canonically aroace character?????? thats insane)

-just generally open displays of mental health issues as the story happens (im so happy that it wasnt like oh no. anyways off to do this thing now- like you saw how it affected them and i am so happy abt that)

-literally all those horrifying moment. i am as much of a horror fan as the next but i swear every time monster belos is on screen im like wow okay how did they allow this. what is the target demographic again

-also very clear depictions of physical disabilities (more noticably eda's lost arm but more subtly Dell's nerve damage and eda's curse)

i could probably go on for ages and ages but what i really wanna say is

Thank you, Dana and everyone else that made it happen, for one of the most amazing shows ive ever seen.

thoughts on china v usa but im sleepy so its blunter than usual

its wild that this is both teams first match considering this is one of the top matchups. like 2016 gold medalists v 2021 gold medalists. and then the players too

its fun watching haleigh washington and yuan xin yue meet as middles at the net (though i kinda want usa to throw dana retke in there to see two 6'8/203 play opposite eachother). theres two veterans on the court with zhu ting and jordan larson, we got annie drews and li ying ying as opposing letfies like this match is fun as hell.

set 1:

ill never get over watching zhu ting play...

the us doesn't feel solid yet idk what it is but theres a missing connection

china has gotten off to a strong start too but they dont feel comfortable yet. maybe its just first match cause i said same thing this morning and yesterday

the way i said "they need to put skinner in" and then they did and now shes scoring like!!! yall need some agression on offense!! also i love skinner shes so fun to watch

set 2

it must be said but wong-orantes is one of the best liberos rn like just fantastic

i need skinner to become a starter outside

yuan xin yue!!!!!!! lets gooooooo!!!

oh look whose on court SKINNER and in for cook finally what were we waiting for

usa does not have an answer for zhu ting, which is understandable but still (not that im mad lemme see her go on runs)

usa needs to feed the middle a lot to have an effective offense it seems. on the one hand both middles are amazing but on the other i need more action from the sides

last set 25-20 china now up 25-18 like us what are we doing...

i hope we see a point breakdown cause it feels like washington and ogbogu carrying...

AND THATS WHY ZHU TING IS A LEGEND

(that clip of china in rio... yuan xin yue is so cute omg)

set 3

ok commentators pissin me off but theyre right saying the us going with receivers is biting them in the ass cause they not receiving and they not scoring so now youre down 2-0. this strategy just wont work against a team as efficient as china lets be real. maybe if this was turkiye or poland...

skinner and plumber starting and doing well.... mixed feelings cause on the one hand i wanted this change but on the other i was going on and on this morning during ned v tur about veteran players and i guess i was wrong sljflakjf

yuan xin yue and then washington again like this is a middles match what did i say!!

skinner being 6'1 but looking so small and cute like this is my baby monster

li ying ying was quiet in set 2 i feel lets bring some fire!!

drews put your hair back in a bun and get to work lets gooooo

usa/nbc/peacock whoever the fuck is fucking up this coverage o im missing whats happening SHOW THE FUCKING MATCH YOU ANNOYING ASS BITCH ASS SET OF ASOLUTE MOUTHS OMGGGG GET THEYRE FUCKASS INSTA POSTS OFF MY SCREEN YOUR COMMENTARY IS SHIT YOUR GRAPHICS ARE SHIT BAR WAS ON THE FLOOR AND YOURE STILL FUMBLING AT THIS POINT JUST SHUT UP AND KEEP THE CAMERA PLANTED

zhu ting with the almost footsave skdjfakjf

ANNIE DREWS IS AWAKE LETS GO

skinner better call her club team and ask for a raise cause shes coming in clutch in her debut olympic match

24-16 usa its almost like yall needed a good offense in order to score

plumber and skinner saved the set like they got everyone else fired up too

set 4

the anouncers talking about which college this players played on. she is thirty talk about the club that pays her like damn. i know this is probable for americans but still

usa still tipping when its not worked the whole game.... like the block is just too high youre doing really well with full swings go with them. and i remember the coach yelling this during vnl to stop tipping... i wonder whats happening here

it feels so good watching skinner play so well and score so much after spending the first 2 sets begging them to make her a starter

china where is your efficiency from set 2 lets get that back!!!

usa fans chanting usa... top 10 most annoying things to happen during a match dont make me boo you

gong xi yu getting that angle is impressive the set was very tight

and see whats scoring? combinations and full swings lets stick to this!!!

annie drews is awake awake she said let me make up for set 1

wheels come off for china a bit... where are the receives from earlier

what is it with setters and lying about block touches aslfjakj

i really like the way poulter is running the offense this set

set 5

chinas pins have been strong enough im surprised were not seeing more of li ying ying

you cannot give yuan x. y. an overpass shes gonna make you eat it each time!!

some defensive breakdowns for china.... lets settle down yall

gong coming to the party now too lets go service- welp

AHHHH THE STUFF BLOCK?!??!!?!?!? LI YING YING!!!!

aces for washington!!!!

li ying ying lookin like mvp of set 5 the angles are wild

wang yuan yuan you've been quiet but you aint asleep lets goooo

larson as a serve sub? inch resting lets see oh shit it worked

AND CHINA BEATS DEFENDING GOLD MEDALISTS

that was indeed a fun match ahhhhh im so happy were getting vball again

Yes it's Golden Blog time.

Women's North American Championship.

👍Good Points:

All the women looked good and got thier spots.

I like that Kelani Jordan won.

👎Bad Points:

The venue looked very confined.

Nxt Tag Team Championship.

👍Good Points:

The good brothers looked good in defeat.

👎Bad Points:

This could have easily on a random NXT.

Women's NXT Underground Match.

👍Good Points:

It was certainly different.

Good win for Lola Vice.

👎Bad Points:

Shayna Baszler hasn't had a big win for a while so whilst it was a good won for Lola at the same time it didn't mean much.

North American Championship.

👍Good Points:

Oba Femi continues to improve.

👎Bad Points:

Nothing.

Womens NXT Championship.

👍Good Points:

They certainly protected Jordynne Grace.

We saw a return from someone who now works in another company.

👎Bad Points:

It could have gone longer.

NXT Championship.

👍Good Points:

Well it wasn't a bad match.

👎Bad Points:

Certainly could have gone longer.

This could have been on a random NXT.

I certainly wasn't impressed by Ethan Page.

I give it a rating of silver.

Ian's notes.

NXT Womens North American Championship Lader Match: Kelani Jordan defeats Sol Ruca, Lash Legend, Michin, Falon Henley and Jaida Parker.  Very much remined me of the mens North American Ladder match, many rough spots including what happened with Lash Legend, when she was taken out I though Sol Ruca was going to get it but Kelani Jordans win surprised me, still fun.

 

NXT Tag Team Championship match: Nathan Frazer and Axiom beat Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (The OC).  I was thinking Gallows and Anderson would get this since they are now back with AJ Styles in his current feud with Cody Rhodes, Axiom and Frazer remind me so much of MSK and when Paul London and Brian Kendrick were a tag team, fun to watch and can take on big tests of tag teams.

NXT Underground match: Lola Vice defeats Shayna Bayzler, Lola Vice is ready for the next step as the NXT Womens Champion, she has passion, aggression and character to take her to the next step, hopefully she be champ by the summer.

NXT North American Championship Triple Threat Match: Oba Femmi (Champion) vs Wes Lee vs Joe Coffey.  This was my favourite match of the night thanks to the different styles in the ring.  Oba Femmi is going to be a monster star when he gets to the main roster.  Wes Lee going into this reminded me of Daniel Bryan and Rey Mysterio when they wrestled in big title triple threat matches, Gallus helped with the numbers but Oba Femmi still the champion.  With Gallus now going after Wes im hoping for a rascals reunion.

 NXT Womens Championship Match: Roxanne Perez (Champion) beats TNA Knockouts Championship Jordynne Grace. Jordynne Grace showed what she was worth in the match and will hopefully be a full time WWE Star in the near future as she has the looks and personality to make it there but she was never beating Roxanne.  Great surprise seeing Dana Brooke or Ash by Elegance there too.  More likely Tatum Paxley challenges Jordynne at against all odds this week.

NXT Heavyweight Championship Match: Trick Williams beats All Ego Ethan Page.  In just two weeks since his debut WWE and NXT have done bigger things for Ethan Page then AEW did.  Felt a little short but the two still worked well together and Trick is still champ but Ethan will get their soon.

Overall thoughts, looking forward to seeing more what NXT and TNA do together, it was a ppv where the women mostly took over and the triple threat was the match of the night, 9/10.

Vetrix, Nistro and Akiza for the ask game if thats okay?

VETRIX 🎭🤪

Why I like them/why I don’t: goddd Vetrix is really like. i like him a lot even though i dont talk much about him these days. he truly has one of the Most viscerally unsettling things that's been done to a yugioh character happen to him imo. if i think too hard about him I start feeling sick. Getting your whole body warped by alien demon forces effectively turning you back into a 9 year old AND deep-frying your brain AND half your face is A Fucking Void AND you remember everything before. you remember your kids. youre younger than your kids now. jesus fucking christ. byron arclight. good fucking god.

What I like about their appearance: the Half Green Void Face goes fucking crazy hard. i also really like his little braid :^)

Do I prefer their dub names or original names? i do kinda prefer Vetrix I think.... Tron is Fine but Vetrix is so weird and disjointed and alien sounding it really drives home just like. this guys whole physical and mental form is fuuuuuucked. byron's fuckin gone, man.

OTP i dont have one. he is in a child's body for all intents and purposes. 👍

NOTP HE IS IN A CHILD'S BODY FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES SO I GOTTA SAY I DONT FEEL GREAT SHIPPING HIM WITH GROWN ASS CHARACTERS. IDK.

OT3 SEE ABOVE.

Favourite card they use: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage is so fucking cool.....weirdass mimic DNA monster.....

Favourite moment they were in: "i guess im just a bad dad! 🤪" like his WDC finals duels against kite and yuma go fucking crazy. he's just being a little manipulative unrepentant asshole and his dub voice acting is going crazy. it fuckin rules!!!

Least favourite moment: it was fucked up when he was doing fucking rituals on Hart in that church basement. leave that kid alone!!!!

Something I associate with them: dripping and melting, especially in the face....

NISTRO!!!!!!!! 💪⚔

Why I like them/why I don’t: NISTRO ONE OF MY PEAK NICHEFAVS his design is just so 'guy I woulda designed as an OC'. I love his attitude and his dub voice (he shares a VA with primo!!! <3) His bond with Dextra is so sweet AND SO IS HIS GENUINE FONDNESS FOR YUMA ;__; GUY WHO CARES ABOUT THIS 13 YEAR OLD NOW. i just love yugioh guys who are jacked and gigantic and then also good with kids it hits every time.

What I like about their appearance: IT KICKS SO MUCH ASS. PEAK DANA DESIGN SENSIBILITIES. HIS HAIR AND EYEBROWS AND DUEL DISK RULE

Do I prefer their dub names or original names?: i do think i prefer nistro leaps and bonds over gauche sorry.... (tho i do love that they preserved the left/right name themeing for nistro and dextra in both versions!!)

OTP: i dont really romantic ship him with anybody tbh. platonic life partners surrogate siblings nistro and dextra or gtfo really

NOTP: idk???? nistro/kite??!? actually that ones just funny

OT3: nistro and dextra and kite friendship trio forged in mr. heartland's fucked up torture chambers. hey wtf was going on with that.

Favourite card they use: EXCALIBER IS COOL BUT i really like his Bounzer deck he used under Mr. Heartland i think it's extremely funny. i love when yugioh monsters are just Buff Furries. Hammer Bounzer is so fuckin crazy looking.

Favourite moment they were in: his WDC duel with yuma is so fucking good and such a gorgeous episode but i gotta give it to the Spartan City duel when Alito was mind controlling him and fucking killing and reviving him over and over. absolutely insane never before seen levels of danabait going on in that duel what the fuck

Least favourite moment: i dont even know if i can think of one?!? i like him so much it's always a treat to see him...

Something I associate with them: INCINEROAR. HE MIGHT AS WELL BE AN INCINEROAR GIJINKA

AKIZAAAAA 🌹🏍

Why I like them/why I don’t: SHES SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER WITH SUCH A COOL DECK AND IT'S BEEN SAID TO DEATH BUT WHY DID THEY DO THAT TO HERRRRR she couldve been SO cool in season 2 😭 she IS cool on the ark cradle!!! just wish she was GIVEN STUFF TO DO!!! WISH SHE GOT TO KEEP HER POWERS. AAUUGHH

What I like about their appearance: she has suchhh a gorgeous and solid design, i love her color palette and her hair and her OUTFIT. I LOVE YOU GOTHISH YUGIOH WOMEN

Do I prefer their dub names or original names? I LIKE BOTH AND USE 'EM INTERCHANGEABLY i think it's soo so charming when 5ds fics with the dub names have akiza use 'aki' as a nickname...

OTP: roseknight is so fucking good i want her and sherry to make out sloppy style. (yusei/aki and crow/aki also very sweet)

NOTP: GET SAYER AWAY FROM HER RIGHT NOWWWWWW

OT3: do kind of fuck with aki/crow/sherry lesbian polycule tbqh

Favourite card they use: BLACK ROSE DRAGONNNN god. one of the absolute coolest ace monsters (and thats stiff competition in 5ds especially!!) and leaps and bounds probably the coolest Main Yugioh Girl ace monster to me. i love this fucked up noodle-necked scary plant dragon so much. blows a kiss to my BRD figure.

Favourite moment they were in: i need to rewatch the dark signers arc cuz her duel with misty in the mirror maze goes fucking hard as hell. also when she summons BRD to save her and crow and sherry on the Ark Cradle!!! And it's like IMPLIED HER POWERS CAME BACK FOR THAT!??! ELABORATE MORE RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY.

Least favourite moment: they really made her crash her bike and lose her psychic powers and it sucked ass. LET HER BE A GODDAMN PSYCHIC TURBO DUELIST!!! also her suddenly like 'im gonna be a doctor ^_^' right at the end. not my favorite narrative choice. idk

Something I associate with them: Home Depot Garden Center <3

enjoy limitless possibilities here in celestire islands, aaravi mishra ( monster prom ), where you can start the new life you've always longed for. make sure you read the checklist, as we'll be sending the discord link through ims! enjoy your new dream, dana!

( monster prom. ananya panday, she/her, cis woman. ) ——- hey, is that ( aaravi mishra ) hanging around ( lux )? i wonder what life is like for them, balancing working as a ( twenty two ) year old ( gymnast & self-defense instructor ) and ( playing video games )? they’re notorious for being ( intelligent & crafty ) yet ( combative & isolative ), and i always seem to hear ( horns ) by ( bryce fox ) playing whenever they walk past. they’re known around the islands for ( the mysterious disappearance of her younger brother ), and they’re associated with ( a personality bigger than you are, the weight of an unwanted legacy on your shoulders, and sharp pointed teeth). last we spoke, they were telling me about a vision they had… something about their biggest regret being ( letting the need for revenge stop her from living her life ), but it must have just been a bad dream. // — [ dana, 30 / est, she/her. ]

*parasite belos au*

there's so much potential and my brain is vibrating-

like, if their memories merge, then when they separate, will Lilith have some of her memories missing? ALSO MENTAL BREAKDOWNS???? "This is fake, no no no no nonono, you're dead, he killed you-" WAIT DO THEY UNMERGE AT ALL???? does lilith have to die to get rid of belos??? :ᗡᗡᗡᗡᗡᗡᗡᗡᗡᗡᗡ

i mean it is possible for lillith to just have no memories at all after it because of belos, but im not sure if it's likely to go that way.

wait.

you said that belos was slowly taking over. is there going to be ANYTHING left of lilith at the end of this?

just answer anything you can or want to, this is just an angst ramble because the au i usually look at is dead for now.

AAAA I'M SORRY. TUMBLR DIDN'T SEND ME ANY NOTIFICATION FOR THIS ASK, I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T ANSWER SOONER T.T

OK. SO.

Let's just say that Lilith's mind will be a mess for a while.

Like, their minds aren't entirely merged, they sometimes have "leaks" of each other memories...

But still.

Things can get way worse.

Belos, being the parasite, is able to use this situation better, to his advantage.

And, obviously, the more they still unite the more he can work on that and learn new tricks (the bastard)

Lilith can't do much about it because he doesn't let her much time to think for herself, he talks a lot on purpose, to distract her.

She has her moments of lucidity, toh.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill Lilith :'D she's my fave, I'm not THAT evil ahah

As I said, she will be a mess for a while after everything, she's gonna have flashbacks, other intrusive thoughts, nightmares etc

But it's because she just needs time to heal, you know?

On the other hand, the scars will be permanent.

(( @cheez-borger I’m sorry T.T))

ngl i rly love the idea of both philip AND caleb being evil assholes

imagine if caleb wanted to wipe out humanity bc his view of them had become so warped after growing up in a town full of witch hunters, so he had this twisted desire to protect witchkind by killing all humans (sound familiar?)

i also like to think caleb initially kept up his "whoa calm down bro" facade during the knife fight but then eventually dropped it and told philip "i shouldve killed you before i left" and went absolutely apeshit on him

(i dont think philip wouldve ever known abt calebs hatred of humanity tho bc imo caleb wouldve been smart enough to not tell him. so philip attacking caleb was still rooted solely on his anti-witch bigotry and does NOT make him a "hero" whatsoever lol)

ik (iirc) dana said evelyn chose caleb bc he seemed to be the nicest person in gravesfield but 1. caleb wouldve been hiding his hatred of humanity for obvious reasons and 2. we dont know shit abt evelyn herself, for all we know her standards couldve been "someone who wouldnt kill a witch on sight"

(speaking of evelyn i personally dont think she was evil in any way. i hc her as more of a batshit chaotic neutral character who did whatever she wanted as long as its fun anyways)

in this case caleb would be interesting foils to philip (anti-human vs anti-witch), hunter (who has an affinity to the human realm and is close to some humans like luz and camila) and the clawthorne sisters (both eda and lilith are flawed but still ultimately good ppl. both the clawthornes and the wittebanes subvert the "good sibling evil sibling" trope this way)

idk exactly what caleb and flapjacks relationship wouldve been like tho they had to have been close to some degree right? but at the same time i think flapjack had always disagreed with calebs anti-human sentiments but was afraid to actively oppose him, and ofc flap was happy that hunter was able to befriend a human and enjoy the human realm

speaking of hunter i. i was gonna say "imagine if hunter found out abt caleb wanting to wipe out humanity lol so angsty" but tbh i think that would just be TOO traumatic to him (even for an angst enjoyer like me) like he straight up wont be able to recover from that imo. or at least take a REALLY long time to recover but either way i dont think he should learn abt that kinda stuff. i do think it would be interesting if luz, eda and lilith found out tho

i also originally had the hc that caleb built the cat eye portal with the purpose of ambushing gravesfield once he was ready, but after the papa titan eye reveal in wad im not even sure who built that portal anymore- well either way caleb still wouldve wanted to build A portal ig (not the other one that led to the clawthorne house, i think that was probably evelyns)

also. the irony of both caleb and philip dying as smth that theyve hated (caleb died as a human and philip died as a "witch/demon", not literally the species in philips case but more luzs definition of "powerful magic user", and we can all agree that monster philip is demonic). i do think caleb was trying to find ways to turn himself into a real witch but philip killed him before he could succeed

uhh idk how to end this long ass post lmao- actually yk what im just gonna go ahead and say ik this will probably never be canon even if we get more official toh content in the future, its just a fun idea/hc i rly like!!! i have so much more to say abt this hc but imma stop here for now bc i dont want this ask to be TOO long lol

I HATE BELOS. I HATE HIM. SO MUCH.I HATE HIM. GRRRRR HATE HATE 

[kin-the-muffin]

GUYS

WHY DO I KEEP NOT SEEING THINGS UNTIL THE DAY AFTER THEY COME

for those who are unaware:

I AM GOING TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

more of my screaming under the cut

ok so we’re starting right where we left off and OMIGOSH THE HUG I CANT HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

gus helping w the dishes is so sweet!! and amity omigosh this girl. not to mention camila is just taking it so coolly?? what am i saying, shes probably freaking out inside

I HAVE NEVER HATED A BAND-AID BOX IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I WILL NEVER DO SO MORE THAN I DO NOW IM GONNA CRY

is it just me or does it seem like luz is in shock? shes acting like everything’s fine, and not the way she acted in reaching out either, more like shes numb or something 🥺

hunter, bb, why would they hate you cuz youre a clone of caleb? that doesnt make you him. plus i dont actually think that caleb was ever a witch hunter in the first place. also, youre not helping luz. ily <3

why luz gotta blame herself, she couldn’t have ever known something like this would happen. and im not sure how time travel works in the owl house but id be willing to bet that even if she hadnt helped philip, he would have found someone else willing to be monster bait instead of her and lilith

‘we’ll tell them, when we’re ready’ girl that aint ever gonna happen. the way things go when ppl say stuff like that is that the thing gets pushed off until the characters cant help but slam right into it, no countermeasures to soften the blow. i am very worried about how this is gonna affect willow and amity.

AMITY’S LINGERING GAZE ON LUZ MA HEART AAAAAAA

ik there were some people who were worried that the gang wasnt gonna be ok with vee so im glad that they like her :)

well, glad to know that the philip-goo is, in fact, alive. screw that

gus nerding-out with all of the stuff in the basement XD (also camila why is there so much random stuff in your basement? 👀)

HUNTER NO STOP WHY WOULD YOU- UGH I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING OVER THIS

hunters little smile at gus :>

amity and willow protecting vee from the alarm clock, i cant- *wheeze*

ALL THE BABY PICTURES OF LUZ ARE SO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WISH I COULD SEE THEM BETTER HHH I CANT WAIT A WEEK!!!!

willow looks so cute with her hair down i swear

MONTAGE BABYYYYYYYY

OMIGOSH ITS A MONTAGE INSIDE A MONTAGE

I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO GLAD THEY DROPPED THE ‘luzity’ CRAP AND DID LUMITY

THE PICTURES ARE SO CUTE, IM GONNA- *dies*

‘HI IM BI’ IF I COME OUT, THIS IS HOW IM DOING IT

LUZ AND AMITY’S GRINS AT CAMILA THEY ALL LOOK SO HAPPY AND AMITY IS BLUSHING

gus, i love you so much for that, the rainbow and everything

their drawings of their families are so cuuuuuuuute (and amity not drawing karen HA)

WAIT IS WILLOW WEARING A SHIRT WITH A SHOOTING STAR?????? YALL KNOW DANA DID THAT FOR ALEX YALL KNOW IT

CAMILA’S RAINBOW HEART STICKER

VEE’S LITTLE TRANSITION WAS SO CUTE

HUNTER

MY DUDE

WHY DID YOU EVEN LET YOUR HAIR GET THAT LONG

AND WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT BOOK

(our first real look at caleb???)

OK BUT SERIOUSLY HE LOOKS SO GOOD WITH THAT NEW HAIRCUT I’LL ADMIT I WAS WORRIED BUT THEY PULLED IT OFF!

idk what they were doing but the portal kinda worked for a second, before it, yknow, combusted

what even is that blob, i dont even wanna try to guess whats in it (THEY ALL LOOK SO PROUD OF THEMSELVES, MY BABIES)

amity’s look of wonder at the rain, my beloved <3<3

im so happy they got to have some fun after all the trauma, they really needed it

do i even need to say anything about luz and amity in the rain

luz’s drawing skills have gotten so much better!!! (dat trauma tho. the depression that she cant have everything she wants in one world. in the human realm, she has her mom and vee but in the demon realm, she can do magic and has her best friends (and gf) and eda and king)

looks like her palisman has yet to arrive :(

darnit shes back at school (i wonder how she figured that all out)

thank you for coming to my ted talk, now back to your regularly-scheduled reblogs
