My first visits to the Human Realm...

First impressions?

It's cold! Well, mostly cooler than at home on The Isles, especially in Winter! Then it's colder than up on The Knee! 🥶

In general, the Humans I have met at Coventions have been friendly.

It can be confusing sometimes, when you meet someone who looks like someone you know, but is actually a Human Cosplaying that person.

Yeah, I've met some versions of my little sister, Amity, and other friends! 🤷🏽‍♀️🙂

I am going back home to The Isles soon. But I'm planning on coming back again, to attend more Coventions, and hopefully meet some more friends.😀

Best wishes.

Em.

I don’t think this particular screenshot gets enough appreciation in the deluge that is everything else going on during FTF.

Because the last time we saw Amity casting an abomination of this size? Which turned out to be a falsehood because it was based on the power glyph?

Covention

She’s come so far

Interestingly, Artemis' decision to start wearing suits (and to dress more formally sensu lato) more or less follows the (presumed) death of his father and the mental break of his mother; what we see as Artemis' present-day, default sartorial styling is almost a kind of mourning attire. And, of course, I'm compelled by the many reasons (verging from banal to saddening) as to why Artemis never really stops dressing like this.

Five of Wands: Covention Duel!

Upright: Conflict, competition, rivalry, disagreements, tension, arguments, difference of opinion, clashing ideals

Reversed: Avoiding conflict, mutual understanding, peace, cooperation, truces, healthy competition, release of tension

The Five of Wands is the card of conflict, clashes, and competition. It could signify a literal physical fight (like the duels between Lilith and Eda or Luz and Amity), or more internal conflicts like differing worldviews or clashing priorities. In Lilith and Eda's case, their conflict derives from their opposing lifestyles and beliefs about magic and social systems; Eda practices wild magic and refuses to conform and join a single coven, while Lilith upholds and enforces the coven system and strives to get Eda to join her side by any means necessary. Their rivalry also stems from disparities of raw magical talent between them. Luz and Amity also show clashing priorities in this episode: Amity's diligence improving her Abomination magic to maintain superiority versus Luz learning magic from scratch to protect her loved ones.

When reversed, the Five of Wands symbolizes an end to a conflict, often through clear communication and trying to understand differing opinions. After their botched duel, Luz and Amity communicate their motivations and admit their failings in behavior towards the other. They both recognize a bit of themselves in each other, and are able to come to a mutual understanding and make a tentative peace—the first brick in the foundation of their relationship.

First and Last Last Lines of The Owl House: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 |

[anistarrose]

[Image description: two screenshots from The Owl House, showing the nine coven banners hanging outside of Hexside. Each one sports an abstract depiction of their respective coven head. End description.]

just got a random burst of nostalgia for that late Season 1 era of the fandom when all that our wild coven head speculation had to go on was these banners... back in the days when he had no idea if any of them would even be especially relevant, much less dearly beloved (or detested) characters...

obviously Raine isn't here because they hadn't replaced Scooter Crane yet, but. Darius and Eberwolf. Terra. Adrian actually looking vaguely cool and intimidating instead of like a pathetic wet rat man. it was such a different time

[smokestarrules]

I know this last episode was full of callbacks to especially s1 episodes, but this is the one that really made me think about things. This moment in Convention is powerful; it’s the first time Luz makes a connection with Amity, a character who believes she’s stronger than her but still admits that Luz’s way of doing things isn’t something she’s ever seen before. 

A light Glyph to let light into Amity’s life, an ice Glyph to prove to the Collector that Luz can talk to the Titan (solidifying her connection with King in the Collector’s eyes).
