#iirc kids the age of the collector ‘should’ be at a developmental stage where they understand adults have different tastes
Text
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
#the owl house#insert boiling isles versions of dino chicken nuggets and Happy Meals there#the bag of birdseed for a bird of prey and pizza bagels for a bird of prey and an adult woman…#i think the collector was joking about having no idea what mortals eat but they are uh. clearly shaky on the details#i also think you can interpret this as a problem with theory of mind#iirc kids the age of the collector ‘should’ be at a developmental stage where they understand adults have different tastes#so the collector suggesting food that they seem to find interesting/that is an appealing ‘kiddy’ food#is another detail suggesting that for whatever reason the collector has trouble grasping what other people might want#to an extent that is unusual for a kid of their apparent age + at their level of language and reasoning ability#i don’t think it’s just him being too self-centered to think about it#b/c he wants to get on eda and king’s good sides#I think he is pretty self-centered but this is also something he truly struggles with#(I do think pizza bagels are kind of juvenile and meant to suggest the collector being childish)#(but I eat them like once a week myself tbh)#(so like. no criticism intended for my fellow adult pizza bagels eaters. or dinosaur chicken nuggets or whatever.)
