#The Owl House Eberwolf

[roodles03]

Happy Dadrius Day!

Oh, you thought I was only celebrating Huntlow Day today? NOPE! Any Sport in the Storm not only gave us Huntlow, but Dadrius too!

I explore Dadrius much more in my writing rather then art, and honsetly their dynamic is so fun to write, it's not even funny. Highly recommend you check out my Timeskip Watching and Dreaming AU on A03 if you're in to both Dadrius and Huntlow. It's a serveal fic arc exploring the months shortly after the collector is defeated, during the earliest parts of the timeskip we never saw, and heavily focuses on Hunter adjusting to his new life in the post-apocalyptic Boiling Isies and new relationships with old friends, new enemies, current friends, and his adoptive father and uncle.

Anyway, didn't mean to plug myself so much like that, but I earnest really love Dadrius so much. It may have no changed my life like Huntlow did, but I've also met awesome people who have shared the love of Dadrius. And I have to thank ASIAS for giving us not only the best ship in the show, but the best found family in the show.

DARIUS N EBER‼️ I’ve been meaning to draw these guys since Eda’s Requiem premiered and I finally got around to it uhh *checks watch* two years later yippee!!

[sepublic]

            Belos is white; Not just in terms of race, and yes race IS very much relevant in regards to his characterization. But also his coven is white. White is all colors combined, and as he himself puts it, the nine main covens branch off from it in nine hues. Even if their colors aren’t quite accurate to the ones that white light splits off into, you get the idea.

            Thus, I want to roll with the idea that the heads of these respective covens are also different facets of the emperor, refracted and localized. So combining a bit of analysis with headcanon (a good deal of which is demonstrated in my Lost Hoots fic), we have as follows:

            Adrian Graye Vernworth is a blue-eyed, backstabbing con artist with an overinflated sense of self-importance and hides a demonic form behind a white ‘human’ appearance; But in the end, he’s a mediocre dimwit who’s only occasionally clever, has no real leadership abilities, and hides behind others he makes miserable and takes credit from. He’s especially ridiculous in his need to one-up and murder a child of color. He wanted to be of a certain profession, and resents someone he murdered even to this day. Seeing another person from his past causes him to snap and react recklessly.

            Hettie Cutburn is a serial killer with a need for control, who reacts viciously to people who don’t accept or praise her attempts to take care of them, that are blatantly violent and insincere. She infantilizes herself with this persona that detracts from her true self; A fully grown, lucid, malicious adult who gets violent when she doesn’t get what she wants. A misogynyistic role is imposed on a teenager she strongarms under her ‘protective’ wing.

            Ulrich Mason is a religious man who espouses conservative values and is outright told he doesn’t represent his species as much as he might think. Mason hides a weapon behind his back when he feigns having changed his mind, to a family member who did; He reacted angrily to this news, attempting to save their soul. But despite his remorse at his betrayal, Mason still commits to his cause afterwards.

            Domovoy Osran claims to speak for the Titan in protecting everyone and has a lot of delusions, symbolizing Luz’s anxiety over fate. His messiah complex thinks this great deity is guiding him along, but the reality is that they would hate and disprove of him deeply. Osran is quite chill with using petrification and bastardizing the dead to misuse them, and possesses a ‘guiding’ relationship with Kikimora. But for all his feats and advantages, he’s not as clever as he thinks and relies on some things as a crutch; Particularly, this assumption that destiny has his victory guaranteed, when really it foretells a defeat by Luz. He comes across as a caring old man, but has quite the cruel, vicious side to him.

            Vitimir Vialvilla is entrenched in sunk-cost fallacy, having wasted his whole life on something that brought his body ruin that he easily could’ve avoided and was his own fault, and even embraced what consumption has done. But he stubbornly refuses to see the truth as he makes Luz doubt her own dreams via a false comparison he brings up. Vitimir sees a species as lesser fodder for his own glory, and will sacrifice anyone and everything to achieve his destructive dream, because everyone else is an unimportant idiot. He believes he deserves better just for ‘trying’ harder, when really he just crossed ethical lines.

            Terra Snapdragon is a smug green sadist who savors having control and influence over others, molding young minds as she sees fit. She gets uncomfortably close with Raine Whispers, and sees other people’s ethics as rules ruining her fun. Terra believes people who don’t like her are the real villains going after a misunderstood underdog, but the reality is quite simpler; She’s just a domineering, mean-spirited jerk whose outcast nature is all her fault.

            Eberwolf the Huntsman is a hunter who operates under the idea that their pruning of a population is necessary to keep the world balanced and healthy, while studying their quarry to better pull off this role. They have a symbiotic relationship with various little creatures habiting their body that they derive further power from. He’s a little brother, with an older brother would never dare hurt or sacrifice him, not even in the name of things more important like the isles, and thus this contributes to great danger for the Demon Realm.

            Darius Deamonne had to sacrifice something to achieve a goopy form covered in glowing eyes, and can form scythe-like appendages from it. Otherwise, he appears human, and is connected to the Grimwalker lineage. He lost someone he used to know and look up to, but now sees them in Hunter, who is younger and related to that loved one. He hopes to change what went wrong with Hunter’s predecessor in the child.

            Raine Whispers wields red magic and is a leader for the isles, seeking to change the demon realm for the greater good. As a result of this idea, they’ve had to not only mask their identity, but cross ethical lines in their mission, such as lying and even accepting the idea of killing people who don’t necessarily deserve it; These things have had their clear toll on them, but they continue, believing their ends to be justified. Though they may seem unimpressive at first, they’re actually a charismatic speaker who ends up redefining society, and represents the Titan.

Fellas is it gay to *checks notes* uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h

[esteranova]

hunter is the type to find cool and pretty rocks and give them to darius and eber and while darius especially doesn’t really even like rocks or dirt he still keeps them all because hunter thought it was cool and it reminded him of darius so he doesn’t even think about throwing it away for even a second

eber on the other hand loves rocks so it isn’t a surprise he keeps them

Darius Deamonne🪡Eberwolf the huntsman🪲 Hunter 🐺

I been want to post this and where I’m, it’s Father’s Day so I thought why not. I saw people were also doing a dadius week and I really want to join but I don’t have any embroidery/art ideas to do for it. But it one of my favorite things from this fandom as it’s so sweet. Hopefully I can think of something more for them later in the future.

I also love Eber so much along Darius so I need him to be included. Also him joking with Hunter that he his wolf dad or uncle or something. Just him picking a fun name to call himself and Hunter joking along to annoy Darius. Also Eber totally calling hunter cub as it’s so cute

Also costume note as I have to say it but I love how Darius subtly matches Hunter in the last bits, as look hunter has a little bit of purple from his wolf shirt and Darius has a little bit of yellow to match hunter.

[ID: The picture is a felt doll that is the shape of a gingerbread man with a big circle head, they is supposed to be Darius Deamonne He has dark brown felt for skin, different shades of purple felt to make up his ab hair and beard. He has his white gloves and boots. He has on his violet pants, black shir with purple beads around the neck line, and the golden edging. And this purple shoulder cape. Eberwolf is made wirh orange felt and a copper color felt for his hair, he have fluffy cheeks and pointy ears. He in his gery shirt, and brown skirt that have spikes. And brown shoes, and yellow wristbands. And Hunter he have his short blonde hair and the extra stand. And he has this big scars on his face with and scar ear. He is his cosmic frontier cosplay with the top part tied around his waist and his Wolf shirt that has little purple wolfs on it what have little white stitch around it to look like he made it. The first picture it a remake of the reunion scene with Eber wolf on Darius’ shoulder and the 2nd picture Eber is standing next to him.:ID]

HUNTER HAS A WOLF DAD

HUNTER HAS A FUCKING WOLF DAD. HE HAS A WOLF DAD.

[tawneybee]

I love Dadrius, but toh fans are totally missing out on cool uncle Eberwolf.

[totallynots8tan]

Eda: Things will get better! Raine, Lilith, Darius, Alador, and Eberwolf: ... Eda: Okay, maybe they won’t. Eda: But they will be terrible in new and interesting ways!

Raine, Lilith, Darius, Alador, and Eberwolf: ...

Eda: Sorry, Luz is rubbing off on me.

Sleepy Eepy

I imagine this happens after Hunter has a nightmare and gets Darius and Eberwolf to come in and stay with him. No joke I had my dad come in and sleep in my room with me after I had nightmares to an embarrassingly late age... 18. But there's no shame in it! Especially considering the nightmares Hunter must have.

I imagine that Darius runs his fingers Hunter head to help calm him down, then he pats the senestive spot behind Hunter's ears to make him sleep. I also imagine that Eberwolf kneads like a cat on top of Hunter. Then Hunter goes to sleep, and Darius and Eberwolf just don't leave. And that's how this happens. The end.

[possibly-a-table-or-just-gay]

Eberwolf headcanons because I'm cramming for an exam currently delirious I'm not even halfway through-

Throwing them under a readmore cus I'm not going to make you scroll past the amount I wrote

• The reason they ride large beasts like rat worms and sit on Darius's shoulder all the time is because he uses cat logic in that Higher up = Superior

• Very few scouts understand Beast (which is what I'm calling their language) and he gets really sick of pointing and their directions getting misinterpreted so he usually goes on his assignments solo or with their beasts (And Darius if he can convince him)

• Their mouth and vocal cords aren't shaped to speak English, and even if he could they wouldn't bother learning it. He sees no point on learning a language for people who can't be bothered to try and understand theirs

• When Eber first became a coven head, Darius attempted to start a conversation with him (Darius was also a fairly new coven head at this point, abt 23 years old). When he realised they could understand, but not speak English, he took it upon himself to try and learn Beast. Eber saw this as An Opportunity and began pointing at objects and saying what they are in Beast. Darius picked it up quickly and was soon able to translate for them.

• He is perfectly capable of walking bipedaly, but finds it much more efficient to trot around on all fours.

• They spend most of his time in Darius's office rather than their own, partly to annoy him and partly because he enjoys just coexisting with people

• Beast isn't yoda-speak or overly-simplified but sentences tend to be shorter and more blunt.

• I remember reading a fanfic about Eberwolf using nicknames and titles instead of names (if I find it I will credit the author) and I imagine they call Hunter "Cub"

• He curls up on the chests of people he loves partly to soothe them to sleep with his warmth and purring and partly to protect their internal organs like a furry shield (beast habits)

• During coven meetings, they regularly shit talk his coworkers out loud since only Darius can understand them.

• Mostly Darius replies to Eberwolf in English, but when he's really tired or needs to discuss confidential information he'll just respond in Beast, which definitely throws people off seeing this distinguished gentleman speak in chirps and clicks

• When they ride on Darius's shoulder and need to get his attention they'll just yank on his ear, which absolutely pisses him off, which makes them do it more often

• He sees Darius as their brother-in-everything-but-blood, and pretty much accepted Hunter as a member of his pack immediately.

That's all I got so far, I'm going to fucking collapse 👍

[sepublic]

            The way the Coven Heads fight is reflective of their personalities and not just their tracks. So to again incorporate both canon and Lost Hoots headcanon;

            Vitimir Vialvilla is throwing stuff all over the place while chaos rains down around him, and he makes good use of it to improvise on the fly, creating strange things. He’s the experimental, F around and find out guy.

            Domovoy Osran does a lot of planning based on his predictions, he has the setup and security to win a battle of attrition, which befits someone who can see long-term and is long-lived, and eliminates factors of uncertainty.

            Ulrich Mason is a force of nature, hitting like a train and destructive; But he’s clearly holding back and avoidant. In the end he’s not malicious and means well, so avoiding laying a hand befits his fatherly personality that wants to (sometimes sternly) guide but never force.

            Hettie Cutburn is unstoppable, brute-forcing her way through everything. She loves violence and tanks it, because she also loves healing, and allows for these factors because she’s someone who loves the thrill of the chase.

            Darius Deamonne can lay traps to capture and transport people; He’s someone who’s been hiding in plain sight for a while. His Abomination comes from himself and you can even see it in his own appearance; Again, in plain sight.

            Raine Whispers is direct in their opposition, calling attention to themselves but making good use of that attention. They incite and thus move things, or literally cut to the chase. They’re loud and obvious, as befitting a bard.

            Eberwolf the Huntsman tracks people down so they can get up close, where they get in your face and overwhelm you. They fight alongside others, relying on a pack to overwhelm enemies, who are prey best fit running from a predator.

            Terra Snapdragon observes everything from a high vantage point as she manipulates a large area to turn the environment against you; Her domineering personality controls, ensnares, and herds large beings/groups.

            Adrian Graye Vernworth relies on subterfuge and trickery, being a coward who always needs someone to go ahead and perform the task for him. This is in spite of being able to take hits; Even with the ability to fight directly, he hides and flees.

Whispers Of Uncle's Ghost

This is my work for the dadrius week prompt "Uncle Eberwolf"

@sergeantsporks

I hope you all enjoy this ♡♡

Hunter had his arms wrapped around his legs and sighed for the third time in just a minute.

The day had actually started quite well. Darius, Eberwolf, and he had had their usual calm breakfast and then they all had gone for a walk in the woods. Since Eberwolf had found out that Hunter had never had a chance to really see nature and all its facets during his time in the coven, he had suggested some of his favorite places in the forest, to which the whole family now regularly took short hikes.

Hunter loved spending time with his family and all morning he had been filled with joy and happiness. However, it had come to an abrupt end when Darius had said something that made his blood run cold.

Eberwolf had unpacked some of their bags for hiking and Darius had said with a grin to Hunter, "Go help your Uncle Eberwolf, I'll make some hot tea and get some cookies from the cupboard."

The problem had been neither the cookies nor the tea, no, Darius had called Eberwolf Hunter's uncle. And even though Hunter definitely saw the little demon as a family member and he was incredibly fond of him, the word 'uncle' awakened a queasy feeling in him.

He had become quite dizzy and without another word he had disappeared upstairs in his room, where he now sat in a corner and had to hold back his tears.

Did Eberwolf expect him to address him as uncle? Did Darius expect him to do it?

Hunter didn't know if he was ready to call someone else uncle. Not after everything that happend. The last one he had called that was Belos and whenever he thought of him he got scared and his knees started to shake.

But would Eberwolf be disappointed in him if he didn't call him uncle? Especially now that he started to call Darius Dad from time to time? Would Eberwolf feel bad or left out? Hunter didn't want to be the reason he felt hurt, but he didn't think he was capable of saying it without panicking.

He tried, but as soon as he just thought of the word, his throat seemed to tightened and he was unable to say it. A tear ran down his cheek.

Would Eberwolf and Darius be disappointed in him that he couldn't even say that simple word? It was just a word. It shouldn't be so hard to say it, right?

There was a sudden knock at the door. Hunter let his face sink into his arms and sighed a soft, "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open and from the footsteps Hunter knew it must have been Eberwolf. He toddled over to him and gently placed one of his small hands on his upper arm.

Hunter sighed and sat up straight. He raised a hand, wiped the tear from his cheek, and looked over at Eberwolf with sad eyes.

"Darius has been worried ever since you ran away," Eberwolf said softly, gently brushing another stray tear from Hunter's cheek as it escaped his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Hunter tried to look at Eberwolf as he said it, but was unable to. "Darius- Darius said something. Nothing- nothing bad or anything, but well, I- I don't know- it felt- weird."

Eberwolf waited a moment to see if Hunter had anything else to add before saying softly, "I heard what he said. Do you want to tell me what didn't feel good about it?"

"That word Darius used," Hunter said, frustration in his voice. Frustration that he still couldn't say uncle.

"Uncle?" Eberwolf asked softly, giving Hunter one of his typical smiles. Hunter nodded slowly and looked to the ground.

"Belos was the last one I called that." he admitted, "I- I see you as part of the family, I really do, but that- that word just feels wrong. But I don't want to disappoint you or exclude you from anything really."

Eberwolf slowly spread his arms and Hunter had to smile softly as he stepped closer to him, climbing onto his lap and snuggling gently against him. "You don't have to give me a fancy family name to show me you love me, cub. I know that just the same. I'm sure Darius wasn't fully thinking when he said that. We both just want you to be okay."

"Okay, " Hunter said whose heart was now so full that tears came to his eyes again. He nuzzled his face into Eberwolf's incredibly soft mane of hair and sighed, but this time out of relief.

When Darius came into the room a few minutes later, presumably to see if he was all right, he smiled softly as he found the two of them snuggling.

"Hey," he said to Hunter, "is everything okay?"

Hunter nodded. "Yeah. Love you Dad."

Darius smiled softly and came over to them briefly to give them both a gentle kiss on the forehead. "And I love you guys. You are the best family in the world."

The Owl House Headcanons that I have

Coz my head won’t let me sleep

Raine now has chronic pain. It’s not great. They use their palisman as a mobility aid most of the time.

Hunter also has pain issues, but it’s not as severe for various reasons:

He’s younger (so recovery was faster)

He seems to have been possessed for a significantly less amount of time

He’s got the whole ‘flapjack healing magic’ thing going on

He’s part tree (?) so, idk man, healing or whatever

Raine is afab - I NEED MORE AFAB ENBIES IN STORIES MAN, AND NOT JUST VAGUELY GENDER NEUTRAL AFAB’s, I WANT FEM AFABS ENBIES okay rant over

Willow and Hunter are in a QPR (Queer Platonic Relationship) - I know it was said that they were Bi and Pan respectively, but headcanons are headcanons 🤷

Darius is a pining fool ; Alador is oblivious:)

Darius was in a relationship with the past G.G. Sorry, that headcanon grabbed me and wouldn’t let go, THERES SO MUCH ANGST POTENTIAL

Odalia was abusive. Alador flinches when people touch him randomly or move too fast around him ; Darius is Not Pleased about it

EberWolf uses He/They :)

When they first became friends, Eber cast a spell on Darius that allows him to know what they’re saying. If Darius isn’t around, no one has any idea what Eber is saying

This spell got destroyed during the Day of Unity, and Darius freaked out when he realised.

Eber sleeps in Darius’ room, curled up on the mattress like a dog would

Eda tried to propose to Raine at some point: Raine obvi said no. They explained (once Eda had stopped crying) that while they loved each other and would literally die for each other, they had a lot to work on, and through, after everything

Darius took in Hunter. It took some convincing, and once he was told everything he had such a massive breakdown that everyone reconsidered it for a second, but Hunter chose to go with Darius and that was that, they couldn’t not let him.

It took a while for Raine and Hunter to talk about the Belos stuff. Obvi Hunters friend and Camila knew, and Darius was told before Hunter moved in, coz he needed to know incase anything happened. But Raine didn’t tell anyone for a while. They knew Eda wanted to know, so she could help, and she put some pieces together after hearing about Hunter, but still. She waited for them to go to her.

The only person to know about Raines deal before Eda was Hunter, who Raine found crying in the Owl House kitchen the first night back in the Isles. Hunter started talking about it all (coz it’s a lot of stuff to happen to a kid in 24hrs) and after a minute, in an attempt at comfort, Raine admits to having been captured by Belos too. They don’t go into it, but they know that Hunter knowing helped him.

When Hunter had time to process everything for real, he realised that he technically committed suicide. This freaks him out, especially since by that point ‘he was supposed to be doing better’. Darius, of course has no clue how to handle this, and calls Camilia as soon as he calms Hunter down a bit.

Darius is the kind of guy to shove all his shit aside to help others first, because it’s easier than dealing with it. All his anger and hurt and frustration over The Day of Unity, and the Emperor’s Coven gets shoved aside to help Hunter and the aisles rebuild. His grief over the past G.G is never brought up because he doesn’t want Hunter to blame himself. He pushes his grief about almost loosing his friends, almost dying himself, away, because there are more important things to worry about. It’s not healthy, and he is fully aware, but he doesn’t know how to stop, when it’s kept him going for so long.

Darius knew Hunter was a GrimWalker, because the past G.G told him all of it before he ‘disappeared. What he did *not* know was the extent of it all. When the grave is found in the skull, Darius goes mental, then blacks out, then spends the next week ignoring everyone, even Eber. He sent Hunter to Eda’s for that week. Then he went back to work like nothing has happened. He still refuses to talk about it.

The Draining Spell fucked people up big time, mainly the elderly and the Coven Heads. For a while after, if any of the Coven Heads tried magic, they would almost pass out. This frustrated Darius the most, since he used his for travel a lot.

Also his hair stopped being animated for a while, until he could do magic properly again. He hates it. He has a lot of issues with it not looking the way it normally does, and wears a head wrap for a while because of this.

Eber had the hardest time recovering from it all, and couldn’t do magic for a while. People were starting to get worried he wouldn’t be able to do magic again at all, but he’s fine now.

Darius’s hair goes all funny when he gets emotional. He isn’t aware of this til Eda points it out.

Alador is stronger than Darius. They are both aware of this. Neither acknowledge it

Vitrimir has a personality that’s a cross between Gyro Gearloose from the Ducktales Reboot, and Varian from TTS. He’s an eccentric, genius guy, but a bit of an ass (this is after it all, when he’s stopped being a Belos Ass Kisser :3 )

Hettie was the first to apologise, and offer her help. Terra is still currently the last (she fucked off to live out her retirement alone)

Eda changes her hand every week. It’s payment from Al in exchange for her making sure his kids didn’t die while he was busy being stuck in a toxic relationship.

Eber is older than Darius- technically. In ‘witch years’ he’s older, but because Direwolves age differently to witches, they’re technically only in their early 30’s

Darius, Odalia and Al were all in Liliths year, where Raine and Perry were in Eda’s :)

Aight I think that’s all I have for now :)

Add more if you want

I apologise that most of them were Darius - centric
