#They really did give me a whole new hyperfixtation

[the-lore-and-art-cave-go-brrrrr]

So I’ve started watching the owl house because several friends of mine are hyper-fixated on it right now and I wanted to know what the hell they were talking about. This is made more ironic by the fact that me thinking Gus and Hunter are sort of what I imagine Niko sounds like was not related to this, as they had not yet landed on TOH at that time.

But I’m watching it, and I may be a little obsessed because I’m a good chunk of the way through season 2, and was watching Hunter and Flapjack do their thing, and all the sudden my brain goes “Damn, I wonder what palismen all of my guys would have,” and now this is all I can think about.

My brain has already decided basically all of them. [Redacted] would have an owl, probably one that somewhat resembles a western screech owl, and he would name it Dusty, after his sister (Dusty was her chosen name.) Rizu I can’t get over the idea of her having a pink fox named Taffy, because it popped into my head and it won’t go away. Asa I’ve been thinking would have a snake, which she would name something like Tofu, since those are a symbol of healing. I’ve been toying with the idea of Sage having something like a coyote, because of the trickster bit in mythology, or a cat of some kind because it’s just stuck in my head. I don’t have a name in mind yet.

Now Twm and Niko are where I struggle. Twm I’m still trying to figure out their personality, but what I’ve established is they’re a somewhat cynical walking entity of sass. But I feel like they would unironically end up with something like a hummingbird or a bee. Leaning towards them having a bee named Flick, and I’m not sure why I’ve decided the name is Flick, but it is.

Niko is the other hard one, and it’s because I now have the included existence of Hoshi. So I can’t quite decide if they would have their own separate ones somehow, or share one. Niko I would lean towards them having a Lion or dragon, two things associated with the sun, and therefore light, or some sort of shape shifter, which could be connected up to their connection to dreams (It’s why I picked the name Somino, something I’m storing away for later). Hoshi is a little more complex. If I were to give them their own, I’d probably use an animal associated with the Zodiac, due to it’s connect to stars, which Hoshi takes their name from.

but yeah basically this is what I’ve been thinking about pretty much since I got off of work.
