Re: the adults in polycule ask, what is the Boiling Isles' adults first impression of Camila (and, probably funnier pov, what is Camila's first impression of them)?

This can include Eber and Lilith, although not in terms of eventually being in the polycule strictly speaking

well! i can confidently say that camila's first impression of lilith is going to be "i'm gonna kill this woman." on account of vee having already described her to camila At Length.

conversely, camila would think eber is ADORABLE.

in theory i want to properly fic camila and raine meeting, as well as possibly camila and eda... fortunately for them, neither raine nor darius was involved in the basilisk stuff, so camila is much more inclined to goodwill toward them. ESPECIALLY because they're Literally The Only Two Adults in the castle that luz and hunter have cited as trustworthy.

i suspect her initial impressions are going to be that raine is very sweet and that darius is a drama queen. which are both true.

when it comes to raine and darius's impression of HER, i guess it depends how forthright she is. there's a pretty good chance that she leads with "we have to help those kids," in which case both of them would be like. ah. excellent. An Ally.

eda has technically met camila once already, when camila traded her some human stuff for witch clothes. so her impression is likely to be "OHHHHHH lmfao. it's YOU. the weird lady from the market. who didn't know the emperor had kicked it. wow. in retrospect that's super obvious"

So, I've just finished the first season of the Owl House, and i don't understand why people like Eda and call her King's mom when she is so mean?!

In the first episode alone she pokes Hooty in the eye, and says Luz is more valuable to her alive (than dead) even though Luz is clearly scared. And she tells Luz she will only allow Luz to return home if this 14 years old helps her first. Luz clearly doesn't understand the world and its dangers, yet Eda brings her and an 8 years old Kind to a prison without even explaining the tyrannical regime and the existence of the capital punishment. Idk, the vibes are really fishy there? She doesn't even want to free the prisoners in the Conformatorium and flippantly jokes about the Warden tormenting 'some tiny creature'! The impression is that she is at best a rather uncaring and apathetic person. And, as we know, there is no such thing as character development and characters always stay the same as their first appearences, so Eda doesn't value community and hates children forever.

And people say she is a great teacher, but she doesn't even want to teach Luz in the first episode. She didn't even try to think whether Luz would be able to learn magic before making a promise to teach her. And then in episode 2 she cruelly mocks a 14 years old for believing herself to be a chosen one - even King, who is a child, lately admits it was cruel - and she never learns from her mistake because in episode 6 she claims she would never trust Luz again if Luz messes up, causing Luz anxiety to the point not only Luz but also Willow and Gus believe Eda would hurt them at the end of the episode! Yes, she says she only wants them to clean her house but why did she need to pretend to seriously threaten them?

And she never truly apologizes or [verbally flagelates herself] explains how and why she changed her mind, so I am not saying you must hate her, but we can appreciate the person she becomes later, while [only focusing on imaginary bad things about her] acknowledging all the shitty things she's done! Such as: She constantly physically and emotionally (through neglect) abuses Hooty in front of children, endorses child labor, uses wages against an elementary schooler and brags about humiliating King in episode 3, cruelly mocks Gus, Willow and the Blight kids. She even said she would let the twins die by Sleetherbeast to save herself! And kinda suspicious how she knew Odalia and Alador and so must know that they are bad parents yet doesn't try to help the Blight kids. Seems like she had been complacent in their abuse for years, don't you think?

And i am not saying that i am completely against mama Eda either, but to enjoy anything involving her and King everyone must first admit that she has been emotionally negletful and physically abusive towards King. Because King doesn't even know he is a child - that's super fucked up, right? And he doesn't have any friends and thinks demons are underappreciated - and obviously it's because Eda made him feel that way, and he acts older than his age, probably because he had to act as her personal therapist. And, yes, Eda is physically abusive too, since in the episode 4 she says she would break every bone in King's body for stealing the elixir, and that can't be an unfortunate writing choice, because we must look at the scenes in isolation and chose the worst possible interpretation of the character, and if you don't see it that way that means you can't deal with admiting your fave has flaws! Also she literally ate someone in episode 2.

But don't worry, you are alowed to like Eda as long as you are agreeing with all the bad faith interpretations of her and want her to self-flagelate and every character to hate her and talk down to her. And she must experience over the top guilt that no other character has to experience, including begging for King's forgiveness on her knees. Oh, and don't forget that you absolutely must crawl into the notes for any silly fanart of her with King to whine how she 'needed to be nicer sooner' and put your Eda bashing fics in her tag while laughing how 'mama Eda stans' must hate you now! Anyway, i am going to go make a fanwork about older King realizing what a shitty parent Eda had been and he isn't sure whether he would be able to forgive her, but it's ok, she is allowed to become a one-dimensional comfort provider as long as it brings the notes in.

[i know people in the fandom looove to be obtuse so i will spell it out: this is a parody of the way toh fandom talks about Darius (and pre-season 3 Camila too, but i based it on Darius because i look into his character tags more often). I will make a serious post, but later since i don't actually want to post too much negativity about Eda.]

[pizzaboat]

Gwendolyn is such an ass mother. She's gotta be one of the worst Disney mom's. Almost if not equally as harmful as Odalia

And maybe that wasn't the intention with Gwen, and characterising moments would've existed if the show was longer

But man is toh good at introducing characters as utter assholes when you think about it for more than 2 seconds and then redeeming them five minutes later

I hate that character god. I could go on about how awful she is

[dazeddoodles]

Honestly I wish we could get Oedipus Anon back. At least they were fun to dunk on without getting people butthurt about shipping

Kinda sus there people were more upset about me dunking on toxic Lunter shippers than a toxic Lumity shipper (I think there was one anon who got butt hurt but I just made fun of them too)

I'm pretty sure Oedipus anon is still lurking here though since I still get the occasional creep anon trying to convince me that Amity is hot.

They need to bother each other instead of bothering me. Or kiss or whatever.

Okay, I have to assume that most other people missed that the Collector wasn’t demanding pizza bagels for himself, but instructing Odalia to make pizza bagels for the Owl Beast. Because I cannot be the only person who is way too amused by the mental image of King or Lilith curtly accepting “kiddy”/junk food meal service from Odalia. The insult upon injury for poor Eda and Lilith that the only hot meals they get are like, pizza bagels and dinosaur chicken nuggets and Happy Meals. Please someone help them, they’ve already suffered enough

[crimeronan]

Just occurred to me Eda’s dad seems great, but Eda’s still probably hardcore projecting her feelings of having permanently maimed her father onto Luz killing Belos. Bonding over violence and murder #goals

i swear to god before you even sent this ask i had JUST drafted a bit where eda and raine are talking & eda says something about how she Knows something happened to luz that luz thinks broke her permanently & raine is like how can you be so sure?? & eda is like because SOMETIMES things happen to people that break them permanently. and then you're just broken and that's it. this just happens. cest la vie

n raine is like.

......ok. do either of us even Remotely have the emotional intelligence to, like..... talk..... about how you're 100% talking about us.

@storiedhistories: ❛  you are undeniably the sexiest person i've ever met.  ❜ [Raine to Eda]

"Oh? Let me say : flattery will get you everywhere, Rainestorm."

She's laughing, but it wouldn't be difficult for someone who had known her as long or as well as Raine did to see the cracks in the facade, that forced confidence that Eda wore around her like armor. As the pleasant sound dies off, her fingers fidget with the black jewel at her chest, a more subdued expression coming over her face.

Geez, when was the last time someone had called her sexy? Sure, she's dated since them -- flings that usually ended as abruptly as they started, toxic people who left their marks on her in one way or another. Always chasing after a high she was never able to catch. Sexy? Now? When her back hurts from just getting up in the morning, when she looks easily ten years older than she should, when they knew her before and saw her now in all of her messy, feathered gory?

"Ah, but you don't gotta try to butter me up, y'know. I know what I look like."

dirty little compliments

Eda Owl House has more fuckability and swag than WW EVER will

[catboymoments]

A bunch of nextgen timeline Clawthorne family stuff hehe… I love you old lady Eda the woman that you are. Also ft old lady Lilith and some sweet Raine/Bronwyn interactions :’) I really don’t draw them enough but they’re super close!!!

[the-silent-hashira]

SPIDER WEB, for the ask game?

SPIDER WEB - How intertwined would you say you and your partners lives are?

that depends! i know some of them are far more attached than others.

Cross? Cross could go weeks without talking to me and then send me a 10 page letter about everything hes been doing and seeing, maybe a few little pictures here and there. he probably wouldnt talk about me much, and i dont care about what he does out there because i know that he loves me. we do work for the same organization, but our relationship isnt something many know about.

Clef probably could go a few days, he would talk about me occasionally but if you pointed out how much he did it he would make an effort to not talk about me as much. he likes being private, unless hes actually with me. again, work together, but some people very much notice his attachment to me.

GHB... he talks about me a lot, he likes getting my advice on things, and often will make the excuse of 'lemme ask my matesprit- he says no.' without messaging me at all. he values my opinions and wants me involved in the things hes doing. cant really go without working for the Highblood when youre a purple, and he is obvious, so everyone knows. (i like fucking with people though by making it a jumpscare)

Lucifer couldn't go a few hours without feeling sad that im not there. he will probably skip or cut meetings short if he misses me too much, he'll ask me for advice on many things and will often beg me to join him for things. if you didnt know i was married to him, you are either under a rock, new here, or just an idiot.

I feel like nobody would know Ozma even has a partner, full separation from his public life and i respect that as long as he still cares about me.

Bob is like Lucifer, hes a lost puppy and since i share him with my girlfriend if one of us wasnt around he could deal, but he starts getting sad after a while. plus, without me hes basically stuck in the house or he might genuinely get arrested and/or kill someone and get caught. nobody would really know about us and Bob, but thats because we do that on purpose. he is a wanted murderer after all.

Wally would love to involve me in anything, but i honestly like it when he pays more attention to my girlfriend since we share him too. everyone knows, its very clear.

Ozzie and Fizz are up. my. ass. if they get the chance it is puppy dog eyes. please pay me attentions. would talk about me if given the chance and will sometimes make situations where they can. kinda funny that most of my Hazbin/Helluva f/os are just straight up dependent on me most of the time lmao.

recently started shipping with Valentino, who would probably never involve me with work but likes being seen with me. its good for publicity, and he kinda values my opinions because i dont take his shit and can throw back just as much as he gives me. could be mistaken for coworkers or just fwb.

Diavolo and Satan... Diavolo would talk about me pretty frequently im sure, he gets excited when people ask him about any relationships he might have, and likes asking me what i think and being seen with me.

Satan and i like doing things together, and admittedly i really like doing silly things like going to plays and pretending to be in a mystery novel sometimes.

with Diavolo they would probably know because he would just say 'did you know my girlfriend, Uriel, says-' and Satan doesnt really talk about me but thats because he wants me to himself(and begrudgingly shares with Diavolo)

and recently i decided id say something about it, but i also ship with Eda, Lilith, and Belos/Philip from The Owl House. of which im not sure yet, but i know that none of them would necessarily talk about me much since my s/i with them is a fucking recluse that also hates being talked about in general so thats more a boundary on my side. my Belos/Philip is also way different from canon so 😅

wow this became long but this question interested me and i hadnt really thought about my impact on some of their lives honestly.

[shadebloopnik]

Ever go along your day and suddenly think that actually we need to give more credit to Edalyn Fucking Clawthorne. Like, she was THE Owl Lady. She was THE most POWERFUL witch on the boiling isles even at middle age. And she received a damn CURSE that ate at her powers and limited her skills SINCE SHE WAS A TEEN. Its been burning through her powers since she was a damn CHILD and it seemed to really only take significant effect decades later. And even at the HEIGHT of the curse, even when it was taking over her entire form, even when it was DRAINING EVERY SINGLE BIT OUT OF HER, she was STILL WINNING AGAINST LILITH; AGAINST THE HEAD OF THE EMPEROR'S COVEN WHO COULD ALSO USE ALL THE MAGIC TYPES, ALSO TOWERED ABOVE OTHER WITCHES IN TERMS OF POWER.

There was a reason why Belos didn't go to fight her himself. He was a bitch but he was a smart bitch and he knew that without the safety net of being related to her(like Lilith being her sister) he'd be a damn sludge on the wall 2 seasons early.

Eda was kicking ass, doing crime and looking good even with a curse that everyone expects would pull her down. She took the chains of her curse and made it her necklace. She kicked cops in the face. She powered through every heartbreak and found people who loved her to bits. Even when her power was finally drained, she got her bombass Harpy form by parenting the shit out of the OwlBeast bc she's just that cool. And even without her powers and forms you say? We'll she's a fucking talented GENIUS, she's literally so smart she's smarter than Lilith despite how chaotic she acts. She's an amazing musician. She's one of theee best potion makers. And again, she's a damn GENIUS in both academics and street smarts. And at the end of it all, she opened up a school and worked to break down the foundations of the very system that shunned her and her people. She made people embraxe individuality all the while teaching them to appreciate the love and support of a family/community. She's building a world, a family that she would have loved to had when she was younger and hurt and confused and alone.

She had a disability and she wore it like a fucking QUEEN and idc how much The Owl House fandom dies down in the future, this woman never went down without a fucking fight ESPECIALLY if it was for the people she loves and she DESERVES the never ending praise.

"How pathetic are you, that you can't best me at my WORST."

[causalityparadoxes]

Kind of hysterical to me that Steven Moffat, famously the most sexist of the nuwho showrunners, is also the only one to get the Doctor's transgenderism right.

Both Chibnall and RTD seem(ed) so stuck on regeneration being a binary switch. That while their body can change they are always inline with it, and in that way cisgender.

But god for all his faults Moffat did write the Doctor and Missy with a certain disconnect from humanity and human gender.

Like yes Missy played into being a woman but it was always a performance, SHE knew she was above it but she loved the way she could use it to fuck with humans.

Then with 12 you have Capaldi's whole performance and that lovely moment with Bill. Like ofc it was less explicit than we just got with RTD, but for being stories that are what nearly a decade old now? It was fucking AMAZING and what we did get was so good and so on point with the doctor's nonbinary identity.

Obviously he doesn't come close to whatever the Eighth doctor writers were on in the edas. But in terms of modern who? Damn I miss 'we are so far above your petty human obsession with gender'. I want that kind of nonbinary-ism back please. please...
