#and dadrius is REAL

[pinkish-rose]

finally was able to watch the toh finale and. still processing this shit

[phddyke]

The first time Darius touched Hunter’s hair he flinched because he was so used to Belos hurting him and then this time he didn’t flinch at all because Darius loves him and would never hurt him and he KNOWS that and I and I and I THATS HIS SON !!!!!!!

[thousand-winters]

Do you think Hunter has any extra attributes due to being a grimwalker? Like his teeth are sharper than the average witches or his eyes shine if a light is shined in them etc

I have two answers for this.

I get the feeling that in canon he wasn't intended to have any "unusual" traits or anything of the sort, the formula to make the grimwalkers probably ends up mixing into the closest being to a witch/demon you can have, without the bile sac, unless that's a Caleb specific thing since he was a human. There are a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to the grimwalkers, honestly.

Which is why my actual answer is yes. Because we really don't know exactly how grimwalkers work and it's the more fun option so that's usually the assumption I work with. Because why not.

It honestly depends what I'm thinking the headcanons for, a casual discussion, a fic... it's one of those things for me that's like "whatever works for this specific thing I'm doing but I can change it for another".

In general, I like to think that because he's sort of a mix when it comes to witchy and human traits, he needs a diet that includes food from the demon and the human realm. He can go without one of those but to be the most healthy he needs both.

The eyes are a really fun one as well, I do like to imagine they reflect the light, especially because along with Darius in his abomination form and Eberwolf with those glowing eyes of theirs, they end up being a family with unsettling eyes in the dark and Hunter probably would have such a blast with that. They're not family by blood but precisely because of that, it's more fun to him that they share a trait like that.

If he also had sharper teeth than whatever is the norm for witches, Eber could help him with that. He probably would need to get some chew toys, I imagine, especially if it's a trait that developed a bit later because before all the energy and nutrients his body got had to go to him surviving instead of developing properly, considering how his needs were going neglected.

I love the headcanon too that he gets particularly sleepy when someone scratches the back of his ears justs like the stonesleepers, except he doesn't actually turn to stone, he's just as hard to move as it once he falls asleep over someone like that. Very useful trick when for whatever reason he's having trouble sleeping, especially since he really has to make up for years of sleeping as little as possible.

That he has an easier time connecting with palismen (not bonding properly like witches do with their unique palismen, just befriending them) is also a good one, though very bittersweet, especially if he notices only after he's out of the Coven, because he's already going to be thinking about all those palismen he handed to Belos and feeling guilty and now he's gonna realize they might have had an affinity with him and then if they were aware enough at the moment, that probably made them trust him. And then... well. As a palisman carver that would be a boon though.

Oh! And can't forget the good old HC that he might be more resistant to boiling water. I figure he wouldn't have as high of a resistance as an actual selkidomus, but still higher than the average witch, so he can't be careless about it but he doesn't have too worry to death if he ever gets caught for a bit on the Boiling Rain and such. It doesn't keep Darius from having a couple of big frights there.

[sergeantsporks]

Given the state of Hunter's Grom outfit, I'm surprised Darius let him walk out the house looking like that. To a massive social event too!

Lol, maybe Darius decides in the future that fashion isn't something worth debating with Hunter about. He just tries to model good fashion to his son and hopes that it'll be enough someday.

I think Darius is like "I am going to let him make his own choices! He wore a uniform for YEARS, it's about time he gets to pick his own clothing!" and then is internally screaming a little bit but trying to let him do his own thing.

TO BE FAIR to Hunter and his fashion sense, I think it's important to keep in mind that he's still figuring out his style! You gotta give him a bit to cycle through outfits before settling!

Image description: digital art of Hunter and Darius Deamonne from The Owl House. They're seen in profile, embracing, with Darius's chin pressed against Hunter's forehead. Hunter's expression is mostly obscured, but both of them have their eyes closed, and Darius is smiling. The background is a purple and orange gradient. End description.

Hey… so… Dadrius tonight. Right?

[penny-anna]

i would like to stress that this is 100% not a criticism and i am on board w post-canon Dadrius. but i also do not think that Darius 'fake kidnapped a group of teenagers and refused to tell them they weren't being kidnapped for real for no clear reason' Deamonne is gonna be a responsible guardian to a teenager right off the bat. sorry.

[you-see-something-strange-here]

[likeamaya]

[roodles03]

Darius Renders

Bonus:

Real quick I wanna disclose that this was made BEFORE I got the injury diagnosis from my hand doctor.

Continuing with my quest to make more renders of other TOH characters I draw occasionally. Darius felt important to do because I wanna do more Dadrius drawings.

This is Darius. Darius thought he would never want kids.

This is Hunter. He thought he'd never have a father.

The two met and now they are father and son. Yippie!

[urfavbri-ish]

SOME DADRIUS (+ Uncle Eberwolf) headcanons!!

When they apologise to Hunter for the years of mistreatment there in literal tears and Hunter is just stood there 🧍🏼‍♂️🧍🏼‍♂️🧍🏼‍♂️.

Trans masc! Hunter having to admit to Darius he gets periods and needs pads and Darius goes ALL OUT. Heating pads, scented pads, thin pads, overnight pads, he even gets a little box of tampons just in case. As well as that, Darius gets him sweets, chocolate, among other things. Hunter is mortified and embarrassed at how much research Darius did and how much stuff he bought, but also feels incredibly choked up because let’s be real Belos would probably think Periods are disgusting and reprimand Hunter for mentioning his, and let him suffer in silence with cramps and never get him the things he need and make him suffer through it.

Eberwolf getting all overprotective whenever Hunter mentions dating and immediately being all ‘Your not aloud to date because nobody is good enough for you.’ Or ‘If anyone breaks your heart I’ll snap there neck while there sleeping.’ Despite this he ends up really liking Willow.

Hunter literally had no free time. He only went on missions at the weekend, which forced him awake for hours on end, and during the week he just studied. From 5am till 2am. He rarely ever stopped to eat, or drink. He would never have admitted it, but he was miserable and tired, because of this Darius and Eber feel guilty because of the somewhat obvious signs of neglect and abuse and mistreatment that was practically begging them to look in the right direction and stop only seeing what they wanted to about Hunter.

They both thought Hunter had been savagely mauled when they first saw him. Darius was holding back tears, and Eber was just mortified.

Hunter used to sleep about three hours a night but Darius makes him have ATLEAST eight hours every night.

Hunter was so overwhelmed by the amount of people who offered to take him in. Camila offered, Eda offered (in fact Eda had seemed pretty desperate to take him, he’s still not sure why.). Hooty offered to take him in, and Amity threatened to beat Hooty up in the same conversation. He ended up going with Darius and Eber.

He’s also overwhelmed by the amount of people who want to give him affection and love. Whether it’s Darius’s forehead kisses, Eber nuzzling into his chin, Willow kissing his cheek, Vee hugging him, Amity putting a gentle hand on his shoulder, Luz ‘bear hugging’ him, Edas one armed hugs around the waist, Gus in general. He just confesses all this to his caretakers and how he’s so confused and how anyone could love him, and gets a strong talk about how much he deserves to be loved, and how much they love him.

They try not to talk about Belos to much, but child abuse isn’t easy to recover from, and they’ve had multiple long conversations about Belos’s less than ideal treatment of Hunter. They don’t make him feel any better.

Hunter has on old journal from his time as the Golden Guard, which he unknowingly confesses a lifetime of abuse into. His friends read it by mistake. Darius and Eber found it and also read it by mistake.

[pinkplatiploo]

I have mixed emotions rn but I need a rewatch so for now WE WON DADRIUS CANON REAL HELL YEAH

Amity getting puppetified and that being her hand in the shot

Collector just needed a lil push in the right direction

Nightmare sequence was Belos' idea

Things I did not predict but was happy for

HARPY LILITH!!!! MY WIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Headmaster Eda! I like the idea of Eda, who loves learning but hated the way school was set up for her, running her own school in a way for kids like her :)

Alador figuring out how to take sigils off

[oh-cramity-its-amity]

Hey, I’m bored so I’m gonna send you some owl house questions (unless you tell me to shut up and then I will)

Who’s your favorite character and why is it Hunter /j

How many times have you watched the series

Do you have any controversial opinions/ships? I will not hate on you I promise :D

Who’s your least favorite character(s)

Hopefully you don’t mind questions

hiiii omg sorry AUGH.

1.) not you joking that hunters my favorite character 💀😭😭 /s. nowhere near my favorite character bestie 😭😭😭.

MY FAVORITE character in all seriousness is amity or raine!!! (luz is a close tie with amity bc i was a luz kin first.) but both of their characters mean SO much to me. especially raine's. i wont go ramble heavy but a lot of the reason i love the queer characters in the show are because of the fact that their "queerness" is not made into a character trait. people acknowledge raine as who they are and dont question or think of their identity as a negative. most of the media i found growing up centered around stories about queer people and their journey to realization OF being queer, and not where they already knew. thats one of the most definitive reasons i love toh so much too.

their identities and sexualities arent a "oh theyre the gay character" or "oh thats the nonbinary one" its an extension of themselves beneath other traits. because as a queer person myself theres WAY more that makes me myself than the fact that i identify the way i do. seeing amity develop feelings on screen for luz and then choose for herself on what she wanted. breaking away from her mother and destroying the rhetoric of what was assumed and assigned onto her.

people will talk shit about it and how "amity changed for luz" or blah blah blah. but thats not entirely true. when luz met amity, she saw her as who she was. not a name. not a rich girl. she threatened her stability. the comfort. luz encouraged her in ways that no one had before. about things amity found passion in. especially Azura!! amity changed because she realized she wanted more than what her parents forced onto her. luzs carefree and comfort being WARM and encouraging to do things that SHE ENJOYED. amity changed because she wanted to be more than her parents and be happy and luz just so happened to be the catalyst of that. and raine- as a nonbinary person makes me feel so validated.

2.) uhh surprisingly ive watched s1 like a good 13 or so times??? s2 though ive only watched through fully like once when i first watched it. i did watch individual eps from s2 so its not like i hadnt watched it ONLY once. s3 at least 4 times. s1 is definitely my favorite. even if like the real plot started coming in during s2. the nostalgia of 2020 and the fandom during that time is probably my reason. s1 lumitys energy and lumity as a ship was so simple and yet different.

3.) i think the fandom forgave camila too quickly for what she did to luz. it irks me how they then turned around and "noceda siblings" became a full thing. meanwhile people forget that darius wanted the best for hunter??? "he only had _" shut up. the show was shortened!!! WHO came to hunter during s3? NOT camila. it was darius and ebber! that man is more of a candidate for a parent for hunter than camila. vee and luz as sisters? YES valid. i love that. but hunter does NOT need to be included in literally everything regarding luz. people forget that king literally called himself luzs brother. "your family now" does NOT have to mean a familial tie. there are some friends who are so close like brother and sister BUT THEY ARENT. i cant stand noceda siblings. dadrius is just something that makes sense and i like the parallel potential of it. however speaking i will not get pissy if someone enjoys it, these characters are subjective. as long as you dont tear down others favorites and are respectful i have no issue with differing of beliefs. its just for me personally i wish it wasnt so... forgetful of king and luzs siblinghood.

4.) ive covered hunter before. i don't really like him all that much just due to how fandom treats him. his character in canon is cool though. i like dadrius. its the exception. grimwalker lore still feels very interesting though.

dont mind questions at all dw. sorry for the rambles but i like talking about toh so :D.

[thousand-winters]

Okay, yeah, I'm not 100% settled on that because it just feels wrong, but I think I might quit Dadrius week for real and just. Not write the rest of the prompts.

I was thinking about how I was regretting not having written an angsty prompt for day 2 because I know people like angsty prompts more but the friends I consulted like the fluffy one more and I did want to write fluff so I was happy with that, but then the whole time I've been worried about not having enough angst in my prompts for people to want to really read my stuff and... idk, man. That's just off. I used to write things because I thought they were fun, not because I was agonizing over if people would read them or not, you know? Literally my first Dadrius fic was just me going "oh, my god, I want to write this so bad" and coincidentially it did get a lot of attention but at the time I was just SO excited about the idea and the composition the fic would have and that was literally it. I wasn't thinking about anything else, I was just having fun.

And I guess it's because in the past, when I wrote fics for this fandom, people did interact with me and I liked that, it was fun to talk to people about these things and whatever. And I don't get that anymore, which is fine, of course, I'm not entitled to anybody's time, but it's just not fun anymore. It feels like I'm just throwing empty words out there and it's so... boring. Like I don't know, maybe my writing just sucks, maybe it doesn't. My friends are very sweet and do seem to like it but you know, they do like me, so things I do they might see with sweeter eyes.

Idk, man. I just feel like I've been doing so many things for so long that haven't been for myself but for what it feels like it's expected of me and that's all. And it sucks even more because literally nobody expects this of me, I'm not fulfilling anybody's expectations, I'm just stressing myself out for nothing.

So idk. It might be good to just NOT.
