pov you're caleb wittebane stumbling upon the mysterious woman in the woods with whom you've had several unorthodox interactions with in weeks past until you finally ask her why she always wears a hood and she says "okay but if you scream i'm gonna steal your vocal chords" which sends you into such a state of shock that you can only gawk as she reveals her inhumanly pointed ears and wild ungodly hair from which she pulls a dormant cardinal and offers it out to you like it's the most normal thing in the world. also her name is evelyn but apparently you can call her evie

one thing i find interesting about Dana’s words about Caleb and Evelyn from the livestream is how she seems to center events from Evelyn’s perspective (she refers specifically to the "Evelyn and Flapjack" lore when the question prompting the discussion also named Caleb, tho I don't think that's like. A calculated decision, it might just reflect who she views as the most significant characters in the grand scheme of things)

it’s about what Evelyn was doing in gravesfield, why Evelyn liked caleb, how she first presented herself to him. it’s about her family that he married into, the Clawthorne family, blood members like Eda, chosen/adopted members, like King and honorary members, like Luz. That’s who the story really centers around, so it makes sense that when approaching this nugget of lore, they'd tackle it from Evelyn's POV.

But i just find it interesting bc it’s so unlike 90% of the fan content centered around that era. Like most of the things ppl make related to Evelyn and the Wittebros is usually set from one of the brothers perspectives (with a couple of exceptions! @/moonmeg’s comics and @/litfeathers various drabbles and dubs all have a good balance of Evelyn and caleb/philip perspective!). Obviously this is mostly bc we got the Wittebros lore first (all the way back in yesterday's lie) and because we know (marginally) more about them, people have been playing around with them for longer and with more material.

But I'm honestly really interested in Dana's version of the story! Especially considering it seems like Evelyn had much more agency in the story than we give her credit for. She's the one who went to gravesfield, reached out to Caleb, presumably taking either the romantic or platonic initiative and thus setting things in motion. Why? we don't know! Dana says Caleb seemed more reasonable than the rest of the population in gravesfield, that they bonded over flapjack like dog owners over pets, which is all very interesting when we know he was a witch hunter, implies a lot of interesting things about why he was doing that career and what his status in the town social climate might've been like, but that's where fan interpretation comes into play, so I digress.

(also, this is a tangent but I'm a big fan of Dana implying that Evelyn took initiative? We only have huntlow to go off of but generally speaking the show likes to subvert overdone or overly stereotypical m/f romance tropes- while not being too pointed about it and still leaving room for nuance and characterization- and I like the idea that if they had the chance, they would've done that w/ Caleb and Evelyn, with her being the passionate Romeo and him being the more longing, pining-maiden type in the relationship hehehe)

Point to all this being, I think it's very funny how we all got wrapped up in the mystique and intrigue of (Belos' biased, carefully crafted and incomplete) narrative of ~the tragedy of the brothers Wittebane~ bc he was our main source that we failed to consider that Evelyn, who fits the character archetype TOH likes to use as a focal/viewpoint character much more cleanly that either Wittebane (what with being a young woman, a 'weirdo' estranged from her home, a Clawthorne, etc), might've actually been the perspective we should've been looking at things from. Dana's based for this actually

pick 8 pictures from pinterest for standstill!! (a moodboard)

heyyy so im actually really awful at moodboards but i do save pictures of things that inspire standstill so heres some of those! sorry they arent like aesthetically cohesive. standstill talks about a lot of different themes all neatly tied together w the thin thread of a romance plot so sometimes it's hard to describe those in a way that feels coherent, even in picture form. hopefully u get the idea though 👍

Reblog don’t repost please!

The first code is trying to say meet (piece of meat) here (H+ear) on the hunters moon, which is the full moon in october, so i guess it’s october! I I found this hunters moon symbol when trying to figure out how to make a full moon code and just thought it was cool and fitting but I don’t think it’s something regular people know.

If anybody wants me to @ them when I release new pages send a reply or ask or something ^-^

cw: death / spoilers for S3 of The Owl House,

Do you think when Hunter died at the end of Thanks to Them, he went to the In Between Realm?

If he did, what do you think he saw? Who do you think he saw?

(long post under the cut with my thoughts about Hunter's death)

Do you think when he drowned in the Human realm, he began to drown in that realm as well?

Was the transition swift? One moment, he closed his eyes in the graveyard, and the next he was looking up at the void of the In Between Realm?

What would he have been thinking? Would he have mourned the life he never got to have? The wild magic he never got to learn? The flyer derby he never got to play?

Or would have have just been happy that he was able to stop Belos? Even if for a moment?

Even if he had to die for it?

Do you think he tried to swim upwards in the In Between Realm? Trying desperately to raise himself, unable to move an inch as he drifted deeper and deeper?

Or did he just let himself sink? Did he accept his death, as a good soldier would.

(do you think his last thoughts were the same as Luz's? Thank you?)

When he was brought up made it up to the surface, what do you think he saw?

Did he see nothing? Just an endless void of water, cliffs, and cubes?

Or do you think he saw someone? Saw the people who saved him?

When Luz died and met Papa Titan, they said that she couldn't go back without a portal to bring her back.

So how did Hunter come back? Did he find a portal? Or did someone open one for him? bring him to one?

If someone opened one for him, then who was it?

Was it the Caleb? The brother who chose to live among the other witches before he was murdered by his own flesh and blood?

Was it Evelyn? The witch who fell in love with a person from another realm, who made a family with him, before it was ripped away from her by Belos?

Or -

Was it Flapjack?

The palisman who met someone, so many centuries after his birth, someone who reminded him of his past witch, but who he fell in love with for his own merits?

The little red cardinal, who lived for centuries, mourning the death of his former owners, for which he could do nothing to save?

Flapjack, who when finally given the chance to save someone, did it in a heartbeat, sacrificing the rest of his life to save Hunter?

Do you think when Hunter came back to himself in the In Between Realm, he saw Flapjack?

Do you think he saw his palisman, sitting on the shoulders of his former masters?

Of his own ancestors? Of the human he was created from, and the witch that he loved?

How do you think he felt when he saw them?

Do you think he cried? For the death of himself? For their death?

For the death of all the other Golden Guards? Do you think he feels survivor's guilt, for being the one that's alive? When none of them should have died? When he's the one that deserved to die?

Do you think he cried for Flapjack?

Do you think he blames himself?

Do you think that when Flapjack went down to comfort him, pulling on his new forelock before nesting in his hands, nuzzling into him with soft assurance and love

(it's not your fault, my baby boy Hunter, love you so much)

Do you think Hunter talked to them? Asked Caleb and Evelyn about their life, their family, their palisman?

Were they happy to share, welcoming in the newest member of their family with open arms?

Do you think, after everything, Hunter was able to say goodbye? Was able to walk though the portal that Flapjack opened with the last bit of his life, allowing Hunter to go back to his body?

Do you think Hunter looked back?

Do you think he saw Flapjack, perched on the shoulder of his former witches, chirping back at them?

Do you think he smiled, watching his best fried get reunited with his family? After so many centuries of being apart, finally, finally able to move on together?

Do you think the little bit of Flap he carried with him was enough for him?

Do you think that's why, when Gus was gonna tell him about Flapjack, he stopped him?

Because he already knew?

Because already said goodbye?
