#most definitely a clawthorne though

[dazeddoodles]

Hunter being taller than teen Darius is funny as hell yk it’s cause of those grimwalker genes

literal trees

Also I feel like the hagsquad were on the shorter side compared to the hexsquad Luz Amity & Willow are all average height and Hunter is a tree

Hell even Gus in the timeskip looks nearly as tall as teen Darius but maybe my eyes are tripping

As for the hags we got like Perry, Raine & Odalia being short as hell Alador is like barely average and then the Clawthorne sisters + Darius are the tall ones

Young Eda & Luz look around the same height imo so like 😭 I feel like Darius isn’t as tall as we (he wants us to think he is)

Idk man there’s something abt the young hags that make them look shorter than our current hexsquad

Help me out here y’all

Keep in mind though that Hunter and Timeskip Gus are 16, whereas the Hagsquad in Eda's flashback were most likely about 14. (And in a world where witch puberty exits that probably makes a huge difference considering how much taller Emira is to Amity)

Personally, I think Willow is meant to be short rather than average. And maybe it's just me always staring at TOH characters for drawing reference. But Eda looks SLIGHTLY taller than Luz but that could just be the hair tricking me.

Young Lilith always gave me tall vibes, idk why but in every scene she's in she just looks longer and lankier than everyone else. Dana once drew art of Eda and Lilith as kids and Lilith was freakishly tall so maybe that's intentional. Luz is DEFINITELY taller than Raine though.

SEMIFINALS - MATCH 1

Propaganda Under The Cut:

CANDACE FLYNN:

She is literally Going Through It all the time. I get that it's bratty of her to want to get her brothers busted all the time but listen. She has the most anxiety of anyone in the entire show. She's living in a world designed in such a way that she'll never achieve her goals. I'm pretty sure there have been times where she got a taste of victory but then it was undone via time travel or memory wipes. Can you imagine the frustration? Plus she definitely does care abt Phineas and Ferb despite what people say. I've binged the whole thing fairly recently, but most people only remember stuff they saw when they were kids. Not to be like, "I know more than you," but... I do. Watch Summer Belongs to You. Great episode 

Her brothers annoy her, but she also worries about them, and she loves them so much, and she’s so protective of them because of that. also “though I’ve often thought of you as just a nuisance and a bother, today I can’t imagine having better little brothers!” she’s great. 

she could blow all these other loser outta the water

LILITH CLAWTHORNE:

ok she and eda are literally the most precious ever and yeah they are enemies for most of season one but they make up and lilith stops trying to capture her baby sister and instead takes on part of her curse and becomes the most aroace cool aunt historian bad girl of all time

[addison-was-here]

THIS GUY.

YEAH.

LITTLE GUY.

THAT'S MOST DEFINITELY CALEB WITTEBANE.

(Everything I say is a theory, though I could definitely be wrong.)

I've seen people speculating that it's a titan, but lemme explain.

Birds have been en extremely common symbol with the Wittebanes, more so Caleb. Especially golden ones; the Goldne Guard masks heavily resembling birds, on the rebus box (I don't have a pic sorry) which was gold. Even with Dell Clawthorne's palisman, who looks a lot like Flapjack!

(Though I really don't know if that's a valid piece of evidence. He could very well be the palisman intended for Philip to have that he probably rejected - even with the matching nose scar- but that's a whole other theory that I have.)

But anyway, this could be Caleb's spirit, watching them. IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE PEOPLE IN REFLECTIONS. WHICH GOES WITH THIS.

HE'S LITERALLY LOOKING THROUGH THE REFECTION. LIKE LUZ DID. The reflections can reach the human realm, remember?

So why does he look so much different than the zombie we see here?

And why can we even see him here?

Luz could clearly be seen in the rain. It's foggy here. With moisture in the air, he should be able to be seen. Just like in rain. He can probably make himself look differenly because he's a spirit now.

And the looks? Because this spirit is manifested for Belos's guilt, sending a message that clearly says Guilty, while for Luz he's showing her that he's on her side. A benevolent message. He even waves to her! He's saying he's on her side here. Being friendly. Which we can probably see is his true nature, as seen in the mindscape paintings in Hollow Mind.

ONE LAST PIECE OF EVIDENCE?

SAME VOICE ACTOR.

I know he was just breathing in the scene, but that's still Zeno! (If you watched Amphibia, it sounds the same as younger Andrias who's also voiced by him.)

But HOLY CRAP, if he's in the next ep, and he speaks, which he probably will, I WILL EXPLODE HIGUJKHBYTTRDLGHBL

(Someone proposed this theory somewhere else, I'm just building off of it.)

Again, this is just a guess lol

EDIT:

I LIED

THIS IS A TITAN

SCREW ALL THE STUFF I SAID I SAW A PICTURE IN WAYYYY BETTER QUALITY.

IT'S PROBABLY KING'S FATHER

SORRY

BUT I STILL HOPE WE GET CALEB DIALOGUE THO

[lampmanliveblogs]

These subtitles appearing out of nowhere only to fade back into the void always manages to startle me.

Let’s see, maduros are… plantains. More specifically, sweet fried plantains.

…what’s a plantain?

Okay, so plantains are bananas, but they’re bananas you cook rather than eat raw. They are a major food staple in parts of Africa, the Caribbean islands, Central America, and northern South America. And that’s about as far into the wikipedia article I could be bothered to read, but I get the gist of it.

Anyways, look, Stringbean’s got her own little nest in the corner. That’s adorable.

ALL OF THEM!?!???

So Luz is off to the University of Wild Magic and she has chosen to study everything, because Luz is nothing if not a true renaissance man. Among her majors are Ancient Glyphs and Combos. A mostly theoretical field nowadays, but I suppose there could be value in it to understand the fundamentals of magic. Though now that Philip is gone, wouldn’t that make Luz the Boiling Isles foremost expert on glyphs? I dunno, maybe some scholars studied the Philip’s notes from the echo mouse Musse.

Next on the list is Boiling Isles History. Personally, if you wanna learn about history but don’t have the time/money/energy to go to university, I’d recommend you pick up the Boiling Isles History box set available at the Bonesborough Supernatural History Museum. It’s written by Lilith Clawthorne and some of her colleagues and when I say it’s comprehensive, I mean it. When I say it’s a box set, I mean an actual box, with like… I think there were at least fifteen books? And those are thick volumes. So bring a friend to help you carry it, cause you’ll need it.That’s where I get a lot of my knowledge on the Demon Realm from. Some supplementary material include Flora D’Splora’s two most recent books, Hidden History: The Things the Emperor Did Not Want You to Know, and Hidden History volume II: The Things You Don’t Want to Know About Your Past.

As for Boiling Biology, Luz actually has a bit of a head start, because King used to teach her about demons back in season one. And he’s like a god in training, so aside from overestimating the size of the Snaggleback, he’s gotta be right.

…I’ve no idea what ”theumaturgy” means. Google brings up”thaumaturgy” which is ”the purported capability of a magician to work magic or other paranormal events or a saint to perform miracles.” If that’s what that’s supposed to mean, then again, Luz has got a pretty decent head start, seeing as she literally is a saint (or at least was for a few minutes while she had The Titan’s powers).

Abomination Engineering seems fairly straightforward, that’s what Alador does. Who knows, with Blight Industries going belly-up, maybe he took up teaching? I could see him pulling-off a absent minded professor archetype.

Curses 101 should be interesting, and that reminds me: do we ever see another example of a curse in the series aside from the Owlbeast curse? I can’t recall. But then again, the impression I got was always that the Owlbeast curse was unusual, so it’s entirely possible that curses are fairly common, but also fairly easy to deal with most of the time so long as you can get a healer to cure it.

Moving on, we’ve got Luz’ new look to look at. She’s got that snazzy jacket with a snake pattern, pants with what looks like symbols for different magical subjects (I spot bard magic, potion magic, and what might be beast keeping?). She’s got that necklace which… feels familiar, hold on… oh yeah, that’s Amity’s necklace.

Also, that’s definitely a tattoo on Luz’ arm, but I can’t make out what it is just yet. Let’s see… according to what I was able to dig up real quickly, a child under the age of 18 can get a tattoo in Connecticut with parental permission. So Luz is not necessarily 18 here. Because there’s also the possibility she got it in the Demon Realm which might have different (or no) laws.

THERE SHE IS MY SNAKE DAUGHTER!!! OH look at her she’s all grown up! She’s got long hair now and her ears are out, she’s got an earring and a nose ring. And I’m gonna go ahead and say that’s Masha’s influence. You can’t prove me wrong. That shirt is really cool too.

More importantly, she’s whispering to Owlbert, telling him to go get the others. A big surprise party for Luz, I presume.

Looking at the background, we find a photo of playing baseball, getting hugged by a teammate. I love seeing my precious daughter thriving.

There’s also a picture of Stringbean having eaten through an apple, which is kinda funny to me, because Stringbean is a serpent, and the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden is often depicted as an apple. I had a whole bit about that story in my post on snake symbolism and how it related to Luz.

(we’re just gonna pretend that owlbert’s wing is not there)

Ooh, they really fixed this place up something nice! It’s got a nice stone path, a bird bath, flowers, a rocking chair, a bunch of birds, bird houses, a light strand, one singular lit candle, and at least four garden gnomes.

It also has that Steven Universe-looking door. Seriously, I’m half expecting Steven and the Crystal Gems to come walking out of it. And really, Steven visiting Gravesfield? That would never happen! Certainly not in any fanfics I’ve written.

But nah, that’s gotta be the new portal door. It looks snazzy.

And they bought this place too. Makes me wonder where Camila got the funds for that… it’s almost like [DATA EXPUNGED; contained spoilers for yesterday’s lie, today’s truth, tomorrows promise]

Through the portal, the voice of The Collector greets us and credits begin to appear.

Undeterred by the credits in the sky, Willow is flying around, looks like she just came from a match or training for flyer derby. She’s got the Emerald Entrails logo, so I guess the team took off. Good for her. Oh, and she’s got new glasses, and a little plant headband thing.

[kindestegg]

What do you think of Collie going back to the sky. Because the way I see it, he's either all alone up there (probably not good for a young child) or he's gone back to living with the other collectors/archivists (which is probably also not good), Maybe he has found a guardian up there who aren't like his old siblings, an entire species of people can't all be bad, right?

hmmm... well first of all, i would like to say i personally never was a fan of the whole "collectors are emotionless assholes by default but our colly is ⁂⁕special⁕⁂ so hes different" like THATS SO STUPID!!! AND DEFEATS SO MUCH OF THE PURPOSE OF IT BEING IMPACTFUL HE CHOSE BY HIMSELF TO BE GOOD! i think the collector/archivist species is likely very very complicated and has a very rich history and hierarchy we just will never know abt in canon bc 1. theyre not the focus here and 2. well it kind of. ended. so.

BUT WELL. RIGHT! COLLYS FATE! SO UHM.

well. i have good n i have bad feelings about it.

ill start with the bad: i do wish we had seen more of him in the future timeskip, and that he had gotten a more permanent residence. i thiiink the archives are still intact around the titan skull (dont quote me on it though id need to look again), so, no reason why my future idea couldnt be canon with him living there n repurposing them. i think theres definitely a better solution than just sending him away, he couldve still had his little corner to learn stuff, just closer to the ppl he loves n that DO love him back.

HOWEVER.

heres where the good starts: i think it was actually a good idea for him to not become a noceda or a clawthorne. first of all because there was not enough of a bond between himself n those families to want to adopt him, specially there was a lot of trauma involved that cant be erased with how much he wishes to be good for them now. they still clearly care about each other, but theyre not family, maybe theyll never be, n thats fine. theres also another reason, but going into it would require... me being pretty bold about something thats been nagging on my brain ever since the episode aired, and actually talking about that might devolve into a bigger post in and of itself. i MAY make that post in the future and lose my fear of talking about, but im being cautious for now. all im gonna say about it atm is that if they had made him a noceda or a clawthorne, making him kings sibling, it wouldve made things... very awkward. and bad. so.

i think theres also a pretty fatalistic pessimistic way the fandom seems to be viewing this end: its never stated colly went back to the archivists at all, just "the stars", and its not even immediately after the finale events neither is it permanent- he had to have stayed around at least long enough to make that new portal door, and he visits frequently if king mentioning him being around to do something for luzs bday is any indication (not to mention that book lilith was holding that seemed to be about titans and collectors - i think colly mustve helped with info for that right).

me and the archive house server have actually been discussing this quite a bit, and we have reached the conclusion that the best way to describe this was that they "pulled a snufkin". collector is a space vagabond that travels around once in a while and then eventually always comes back to tell of their spoils to the people he still cares about most. and while that may not be satisfying to people who wanted him to be lovingly adopted into a welcoming family, i think its a good enough fate considering he might not even want a family out of the clawthornes, but rather just to be close to king.

and im sure maybe in the future he might decide to settle again at the isles for a more permanent residence. the future is in OUR hands now! we decide what to do with these characters and their future lives, and ive got a LOT of ideas.

[numericalbridge]

[yes, i am aware this is a weird rambling, please let me vent]

One toh-related fear is that the writers will eventually reveal that the story with Hunter and previous Golden Guard was only given to Darius after the shortening, and initially Hunter's story was connected solely to the Clawthornes (and i feel like it is fairly likely if season 2-3a structure was significantly different before shortening; especially since the writers did say there was a plan for Hunter to stay in the Owl House, and there were hints that their connections would be important like the way he did his 'Bye' thing in the same episode Eda did it, the connection between Dell's palisman and Flapjack&Waffles etc. Afterall if they could reuse Lilith's outfit concept design for Darius, why not shove an unused storyline at him too).

And i admit that it might have been neater plot-wise, and i also admit that my dislike of it is mainly because of the fandom's reaction towards Darius. Because the fandom can't be normal about Darius, whether he is demonized or treated as a prop that dispenses comfort. So if he wasn't meant to be involved in Hunter's development, then it is almost certain that the fandom would turn on him with even more vindictiveness or dismiss his character all together. It wouldn't surprise me if even Camila would be dropped as a parental figure for Hunter because of the racist fanon hierarchy. Fandom at large would not care about Darius's and Hunter's development that was actually shown in the aired episodes (i mean people are already viciously denying that Hunter was happy to see Darius in s3), even when other changes that happened because of the shortening are accepted as absolute canon. Fandom at large would not think how that sudden change in the plot could have affected the way Darius was written in ASiAS either.

And almost certainly most of the fandom would not care about the story that Darius might have had initially, pre-shortening: because if you believe Dana's words that he was always meant to be a good guy, then he might have had an interesting - but different - story before the changes, maybe even with more focus on just his own character. But it won't matter for the Hunter-focused fandom. And being Darius's fan would become even more unbearable. (Also, yes, i just don't want to see vindicated all those Lilith fans who have been whining from the very beginning how the previous GG should have been her mentor instead of Darius', and how she should have had the plot with Hunter)

But then I also don't really like what it would mean for Eda and Lilith and the Owl House dynamics. I don't like that it would turn Hunter into an even more central and important character and firmly place him into the Owl family, and in fandom's eyes that would definitely mean replacing King. Meanwhile, considering the way s2a was written, it is not even guaranteed that Willow and Gus would have had more screentime without the shortening or that they would have been allowed to have more development with Luz, Eda and King (even though with all of them they had dynamics in s1). So it would just make the character focus even more uneven.

And i understand that the current Clawthornes are far enough removed from Evelyn that you might say that Hunter being taken in by them is more like a found family than biolgical family, and would be more of a story about reconnecting with one's heritage, but still. It would feed right into "Eda is everyone's mom!" fanon that i really dislike. Yes, she adopted King, and she has found family dynamic with Luz, but, imo, that's enough. I think her journey to opening up and building community and mentoring children who are not related to her is way is more important and interesting (even if i don't like that Edric was prioritized over, for example, Gus; and i still have mixed feeling over her opening her own school). Even her mentoring Hunter would have been interesting if it had grown from the Eclipse Lake interactions rather than her basically adopting him. And if not Eda then Lilith would have had to become parental towards him - and i really don't like that either. Fanworks set in AUs are one thing, but it's nice that at least one woman in the cast doesn't want to be a mother, and that is shown to be ok. She can be a weird aunt, and maybe even a mentor again for Amity. Oh, you might say, but why do you think that she or Eda would have to be Hunter's parent if they had a plot together, when she can just be an aunt/mentor for him too? Well, this is my weird rant, but also why him over Luz, Amity and King? I just don't think that even with full 3 seasons the show would have had time to explore the characters evenly and Hunter would have been over-prioritized.

Though, i admit, one idea that i like is that after the HM Hunter might have stayed in the Owl House while Luz would have somehow end up with the rebels and had an episode or several with them (since her meeting with Raine was meant to be a bigger thing initially). That would have been nice (and i am going to put it in a separate post so you don't need to reblog it together with this)

[dragonologist-phd]

another inspiration board, this time for Lilith! suggested by @dujour13 (thank you for the suggestion!) this was a very fun one, as Lilith is definitely one of my favorite character archetypes!

Yennefer of Vengerberg - The Witcher

"Forget the bottle. Let your chaos explode."

So first of all, I've never played the games (yeah yeah i know). But I love Yennefer in the show, and a lot of her traits she shares with Lilith- her pride, her sharp tongue, her raw power, her refusal to be ignored. The actress's mannerisms especially are a lot like how I imagine Lilith, she's got a kind of stubborn dignity that I really love.

Madeline Usher - The Fall of the House of the Usher

"There's no such thing as a step back. You go forward. And if you hit a brick wall, you don't go back, you go through."

Obviously Madeline wasn't an original inspiration as the show just came out last month, but she and Lilith have *so* much in common. Ambitious and lethal and manipulative and ruthless and absolutely unapologetic about all of it. I gotta stop now or i'll keep rambling about Madeline forever she was so perfect in this show

Athena - Greek Mythology

The goddess of wisdom and warcraft, which are definitely domains that Lilith would respect

Lilith Clawthorne - The Owl House

"Maybe you are stronger than me, but that made me work smarter. I became sharp, crafty!"

Another Lilith! My Lilith is most like Lilith C in her early appearances, when she's still acting as the second in command to the Big Bad. She's found herself on the wrong side of a tyrannical regime, but stays loyal because she has a weird relationship with authority because it serves her own ends. It matches up well with My Lilith's own backstory and complicated loyalties, though My Lilith doesn't get quite the same character development.

Azula - Avatar: The Last Airbender

"Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player."

Speaking of backstory! Those running themes are very present with Azula, and a lot of Lilith's backstory mirrors her- a young prodigy, smart and ruthless even at a young age, with a deep need to prove herself spurred on by the cutthroat environment she was raised in.

Plus, I had to include at least one character with a fire motif!

Miranda Lawson - Mass Effect

"I settle for nothing but the best."

Miranda has a lot in common with other characters here- a drive for perfection, ambition, ruthlessness, a complicated dynamic with the stories villains- but her main reason for being on here is actually her relationship with her sister. She wants to protect her sister, and she obviously loves her...but she tries to do it from a distance, because she doesn't believe she'd actually be a good influence in her life.

Somehow, Lilith ends up with similar people in her life- Sirin in Tyranny, and Ember in Pathfinder. She has no idea how to care about people in a genuine way, but she does want to protect them, and maybe even give them a better life than she had.

(their main difference is that in Miranda's place, Lilith would have killed TIM and take over as head of Cerberus. sorry, universe!)

Goldenlight week 2023: 💜💛 Bonus any au: Manny meets Hunter.

Manny Noceda was a huge nerd. Probably why he became a conservator for historical artifacts. With his love of star trek, history, and the supernatural. It's also why he loved moving his family for Gravesfield Connecticut(other than for their hospitals great and successful treatments thank god). 'This town was just filled with so much hidden history' Manny thought as he looked through documents about the two oldest families in Gravesfield. The Wittebanes and Clawthornes.

"C'mon Hunter! I want to show you upstairs!"Giggles his daughters voice. He sees a flash of his daughter and a pale blonde white boy dash past his door. Both of them holding hands.

Actually there was one thing he didn't like about Gravesfield.

"Luz! Come in here for a moment please." Manny watches the door to his office, he hears whispering, a familiar one and unknown male voice. Even from in his office the boy sounds nervous(good). Luz finally tiptoes into the room. Big brown eyes looking bashful and bambi like. But Manny has rasied the owner of said eyes. He's ammuned to them(most of the time).

Manny takes of his glasses and stares at his daughter, "Mija, who is that with you?"

Luz has her hands behind her back, runs her sock foot across the carpet nervously. Finally she looks in the eyes. "His name is Hunter Papá, he just moved across the street. He's my new friend."

Manny remembers now, a Uncle and his nephew. "I'd like to meet him."

Luz pouts at this, but agrees. "Ok but you have to promise to be nice, Hunter's kind of shy." There's an offended squawk by the door they both ignore.

"I'm always nice," Manny smiles with humor. Luz frowns, dead serious now. "I mean it Papá. Hunter's really important to me."

Manny sits up at his daughter tone, than sighs. "All right, bring him in. Let's meet this Hunter." Luz smiles and turns to the door. Hunter is already in the door way. Walking up cautiously to Manny's desk. Fully looking at him now. He's tall, not as tall as him, but definitely taller than Luz. Like a weed. Pale white and covered in scars. The scars give him pause. Fatherly worry, but listens to Luz about his being shy. The one thing that makes him smile though is the star trek shirt the kid is wearing. 'At least the boy has taste', thinks Manny. What really makes him stare is the eyes. A golden brown just like Luz.

The boy holds out him hand,"My names Hunter, Hunter Wittebane." The last name makes him pause, and desperately curious. But he gives the boy his hand to shake. He can feel scars on the palm of his hand too. But his hand is firm strong. Manny fully smiles at Hunter. "Hello Hunter, I'm Manny Noceda, Luz father."

Hunter smiles at this, a gap tooth smile"Luz talks about you a lot. She says you work with my Uncle at the museum. It's very nice to finally meet you."

'Boy has manners at least', Manny relaxes a bit. "It's nice to meet you too."

From behind them Luz watches on, for some reason crying. Happy that they could finally meet. That's when Luz wakes up.

**********

Luz wakes up from the sweet dream with tears in her eyes, but a wobbly smile on her face. She's laying on Hunter's chest. The both of them naked under the blankets. Luz is 18, Hunter is 20. He has one arm wrapped around her, the other running his fingers down her spine. He starts in worry, as he feels the tears hit his chest and hear her sniffling.

"Hey, what's wrong Luz?" Hunter asks distressed by her tears. He turns them on their side bringing her face closer to his.

"Nothing, I just had a really nice dream. A dream about you meeting someone really important to me." Luz smiles at Hunter through her tears. Than she hug him like her life depends on it. She hides her tear stained face into his neck. More tears drip down.

"Than why are you crying?"

"Because I wish you could have really met him. He would have liked you." Luz wetly gasps out.

Hunter runs fingers through her hair, kissing her curles in comfort.

"I would have liked to have met him too. He must have been really important."

[darkmatter-nebula]

Hunter and Colli will play Bingo, knit, bake cookies, take Zumba classes, etc.

Greetings, my dear @importantnightwerewolf! 😘

Thanks for the request!

Drabble: Eventful Day For The Most Inseparable Pair Of Brothers

"Bingo!" Colli had a bright smile on his adorable multi-colored face as he played bingo with his beloved big brother Hunter. The young Grimwalker and the small starboy with otherwordly fluffy lavender hair and a heart of gold planned to do more things together, though.

.

.

.

Hunter's magenta eyes were filled to the brim with an endless amount of love and adoration as he was knitting a scarf for his beloved little brother Colli. Colli was knitting his precious big brother a very nice and comfy sweater.

.

.

.

Colli was floating through the kitchen of the Owl House to gather ingredients for cookies. Hunter glanced affectionately at him as he began to hum a happy tune. The kindhearted eternal little boy's singing voice was absolutely angelic! Soon, the cookies were ready to be served. Colli and Hunter shared the sweet treat, of course.

.

.

.

Later that day, the most inseparable pair of brothers took a Zumba class in Gravesfield. The former Golden Guard with silky blonde hair had just as much as fun as the immortal celestial boy. The Clawthorne-Noceda-Deamonne-Whispers brothers definitely had a very eventful day.

The End

[sergeantsporks]

Do you think Hunter commutes to the Human Realm and back like Luz does now?

Not sure! He definitely VISITS, but idk if he has a regular commute. I mean, he seems pretty settled in the demon realm, and I get the feeling Luz probably goes to the demon realm more than the other kids come to the human realm (except maybe Gus). Pretty sure the implications were that he stays with BQ/Clawthornes/Darius & Eber for the most part. Him going to the human realm for weekends with the Nocedas is canon to me, though. In my heart.

Melodic Misconceptions 🎹

Track 27: Haha... Surprise, bitches(affectionate)

Synopsis: Victoria Shard was a former member of the popular idol group [ Poisoner ] from NRC corporations. After discourse with her group leader, Victoria decided it was best for her to leave and pursue her solo career in a record label run by her parents.

It had been half a year since her separation from her old group, and Victoria had never been more successful. But now she has a new problem. She must return to NRC corporations in order to mentor the seven idol groups.

Ellis Clawthorne is a member of [ (Co)-connect ] the most recent group under NRC'S belt. With no experience as an idol, Ellis must persevere in order to succeed and pursue her dreams.

Will both girls be able to adapt to their current situations?

Author's note: Lo and behold, a new track is upon us!!

Now, before you ask, no. I definitely did not stress myself out trying to finish this. That is a lie

I'm really sorry that updates are slower than when the series first started :( I genuinely feel a lot more guilty for that than I should

But either way, it's always fun to write these tracks ^^ not only are the characters incorporated are super interesting to write for, but it's good to know that I can at least bring joy in my shitty writing

Hope you enjoy this track! And welcome back to another album of Melodic Misconceptions ^^ though, please forgive me for any ooc moments

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SKANK ASS SHITFACED LIAR WOULD DO THAT!!"

Ellis flinched, surprised by the sheer strength someone like Zen had to throw a chair across the room.

Juvia reached out, resting her hand on Zen's shoulder."Zen…. We're just as frustrated as you, but still…" she looked away for a brief moment.

"You can't just lash out in frustration like that. Besides… You've been doing that for the past hour.." seeing the pained expression on not only Juvia's face, but the rest of the group's as well, made Zen feel more guilty than he thought he deserved.

".... Sorry." He murmured, simultaneously embarrassed but irritated.

Carol sighed, resting her book on her lap."Well, I can't exactly blame you for being so frustrated." She commented, "It was wrong of Koral and her fans to try and bring your career down just by a single tweet-"

"Which was, may I remind you, not even that offensive of a tweet." Yuuta interrupted, resting his head on his palm as he sat next to Carol.

Narrowing her eyes at him for even the briefest of moments, Carol sighed and nodded in begrudged agreement."Yes…. That."

Zen sat down next to Ellis, groaning into his hands."Fuck…." He cursed, with Ellis gently resting her hand on his shoulder. Similar to what Juvia did moments before.

Humming to herself, Ellis gave Zen an awkward smile once he took the time to look her in the eye.

"If it makes you feel better, you could write a song! To, y'know, clear your head?..." She suggested, feeling all the more awkward by the lack of response on Zen's end.

Mayuu sat on the chair near the kitchen counter, huffing."Hmm….. That could be a good way for Zen to clear his head.." she turned to face the young man in question, "What do you think?"

As everyone turned to face Zen, he contemplated Ellis's suggestion, questioning if he should write a song or not.

Standing up from the couch, Zen made his way to the door. Ellis followed suit, trying to reach out to him.

"Zen-"

"Ellis, please…. I'll be fine." The smile he sent her made Ellis feel even worse for Zen.

"I just need to think about it."

Typing down the remaining lyrics of the song she was writing, Chizuko tried - and I mean tried - to ignore the shaking feeling she had.

She tried to ignore it. Desperately. All the tweets surrounding him, all of the rumors about him, and the drama he had with Vil. She did what she could to desperately ignore even thinking about him.

Thinking about Shin.

Frustrated, Chizuko massaged her temples to try and calm herself down. Already feeling frustrated just by briefly having Shin on her mind.

But her thoughts were soon cut short, as Yuuta suddenly entered the living room, an empty coffee mug in tow.

Carol's not gonna like this…. She thought, before narrowing her eyes at Yuuta in disapproval."Why are you awake at this hour?"

Yuuta smirked, taking out the jar of coffee beans from one of the cupboards."‘Could ask you the same thing, Chi." Her expression remained hard, but there was a brief tender softness when he referred to her by her nickname.

"I'm being serious, Yuuta. You should be asleep."

"So should you." Her words fell short when he commented on her recent lack of sleep. Clicking his tongue, Yuuta waited for the hot water to finish boiling as he walked over to Chizuko and sat down next to her.

"Let me guess, Shin?" Ah. She almost forgot that she mentioned that wretched man to Yuuta at some point.

And so, Chizuko attempted to change the subject."Shouldn't you be cuddling with Miren or something?"

Yuuta chuckled, smiling fondly."Well, I would, but he's a bit of a snorer. But that isn't the topic of this conversation, is it?"

Cursing in Korean, Chizuko mentally groaned before giving in."Fine…. I've been trying to get my mind off him."

The expression in Yuuta's eyes softened."Chi…"

She put away her laptop to prevent herself from accidentally damaging it. Especially with the erratic and frustrated movements she was currently making.

"It's just- It feels like everywhere I go, no matter how hard I try-"

"Chi-"

"It's like he's FOLLOWING me! And-"

"Chizuko-"

"I CAN'T STAND HIM BECAUSE OF IT!..."

Pain filled Yuuta's current expression, but that pain soon transitioned into disgust. Because of Shin.

Because of what he did to one of the only people he could call a best friend.

Unexpectedly, Chizuko felt a hand on her head. Yuuta's hand gently patted her in an attempt to comfort her.

"I'm not the best with feelings at all, but…. If you need someone to rant about that shithead? Hit me up." He smiled, gentler than he usually did."Okay?"

Chizuko was silent. Unsurprisingly so, but this time her silence made Yuuta anxious.

But then she sighed, giving him the smallest but most genuine of smiles she could give him.

"Thanks, Yuuta-"

"What are you two doing still up?"

Yuuta flinched, and they both whipped their heads to the direction of the door. Only to find Carol, wearing her pajamas, narrowing her eyes at them.

"Um-"

"Yuuta, you better have a good explanation for this." Carol crossed her arms over her chest. And for once, this was one of the few times Chizuko ever saw Yuuta genuinely nervous.

"Well, miss Ann-" his words were cut off by the sound of the toilet flushing, with Miren groaning soon after.

"Ugh…. I shouldn't have eaten that-" Miren cut himself off once he noticed Carol, Chizuko, and Yuuta.

And after what seemed like an eternity of silence, Carol facepalmed and sighed heavily.

"Good god…."

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ [ The next day, Pyroxene café ]

Resting your head on her shoulder, you tried to look at what Victoria was writing. Up until she decided to gently push you away.

You faked a pout."Oh c'mon, why won't you let me see?" You questioned her, trying to annoy her into answering your question.

Victoria rolled her eyes, continuing to write down in her notebook."Zen needed me to rewrite some lyrics for a song he's doing. Although, I'm not sure what his intentions are based on the lyrics in rewriting…"

She turned to look you in the eye, staring at you with the most deadpanned expression anyone could imagine.

"Does that answer your question?"

You leaned back into the chair."Hmm, maybe." Your response wasn't amusing to her in the slightest. At least based on her current facial expression.

So you decided to change the subject.

"How's your friend doing?" She knew you were asking about Zen.

"Zen….. Is going through a lot."

"Isn't ‘cancel culture’ a regular thing with you idols?"

Victoria sighed, "Yes…. But Zen's one of the very few idols that aren't involved in a considerable number of scandals."

Your lips parted, somewhat distracted by the way she looked at the moment. But you threw those thoughts out of the window, knowing you wouldn't be getting any accolades for checking out the idol in front of you.

"So….. He's writing a song to get that off his mind?"

"Clearly." Victoria took a sip of her coffee, before almost violently putting it back down. Which was both hilarious and a tad bit concerning.

Letting out a breath, you stopped her from continuing her little writing spree by placing your hand over hers. Which, in turn, resulted in Victoria whipping her head around to face you.

While you inched unnaturally close to her face. Hell, you didn't even know what you were doing with that kind of proximity.

"Just…. Take a small break, Vic. Please?"

Feeling the tips of her ears go red with the level of proximity between your face and hers, Victoria gently pushed you away. Looking away from you in the process.

Confused, you tried to reach out. But she just swatted your hand away. And in those moments of silence, she finally responded,

".... Fine. Just this once."

It occurs to me that I might be in denial about the owl house being over and am coping by disappearing into my head and imagining a spin off.

it also occurs to me that Eda and Darius would definitely be little shits together.

like ok. Mayhaps when Raine enters the scene, they’re the cool new kid who everyone wants to get to know. they’re known for being the best witch in sainteps and they’re a total cutie patootie. seriously kicks butt and they’re a bard (crazy right?).

Raine establishes very very quickly that they, Eda, and Lily (by proxy) are package deals. most of the student body had no problems with them anyways so that’s fine with them. Odalia tho I can see as a big snob but would follow suit if it gets her next to power. I can see her wrapping her arms around Lilith and Eda saying that they’re gonna be the best of friends and Eda sarcastically going “hooray…”

Darius and the clawthornes hit it off really well. He’s kind of like how Amity was with her old hang out friends and just slowly but surely integrates himself with them and away from Odalia and Alador.

Eda would say “dude, if you feel like garbage around your so called ‘friends’ then they’re not your friends” “but it wasn’t always like this” “so what? now it is. people change, deal with it!”

so he puts his foot down and actually starts to distance himself from Alador and Odalia even though they were his best and closest friends.

Of course we know how this all ends though.

I imagine it’d be Darius who convinces Raine to join a coven. He’d see how miserable they were and told them to get out before they start to resent the relationship. He knows how much they love her; which is why this would’ve been the best course of action. He doesn’t wanna see another relationship destroyed just because one felt like they couldn’t be without the other— no matter how bad it was getting. Sometimes being alone is better than letting a good thing tear itself down.

I imagine that it would end with Eda fixing up the Owl House; Raine and Darius moving in together; Lilith’s coven initiation; and Alador and Odalia getting married. The wedding is a full house, but at the very front are four empty chairs. Two next to Alador, where the best man should be and groomsperson should be; and then two next to Odalia, where the bridesmaids should’ve been.

I meant for this to talk about Darius and Eda hanging out but now I just made myself sad again goshdangit

The Owl House Effect

(SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT WATCHED THE FINALE FULLY YET!)

The Owl House finale premiered on April 9, 2023 on Disney Channel and Disney Channel’s YouTube channel, officially bringing the beloved animation to a close. Titled “Watching and Dreaming”, the creators (and the characters) bid farewell to fans with a heartwarming ending. We all definitely sobbed at the end. 

In the finale, we got answers to the Collector’s past, revealing that they’re just a kid who was sent down to the Boiling Isles by their brothers and befriended Titans, but once the race began dying, the Collector was then seen as an enemy, but it was all just a big misunderstanding. Luz, who reunites with Eda and King, helps the Collector understand how to be kind and make friends. Belos, who continued to posess Raine (who eventually broke out of their trance and got Belos out of them), tries to stop Belos from possessing a giant TITAN’S HEART, but it’s too late. Once Belos takes over the Titan, the Boiling Isles starts to become covered by him. Amity, Gus, Willow, Hunter, and Camila eventually get themselves out of their puppet trances and work to stop whatever Belos was doing to the Isles from spreading, and with Luz nearly dying and meeting the Titan-King’s dad-himself, she gets powerful magic flowing inside her, leading her to beat Belos for good. As years pass, the Boiling Isles has rebuilt itself, and before Luz heads off to the University of Wild Magic, everyone spends a good time together to celebrate Luz’s very late quinceañera. 

Back in 2020, fans were introduced to the magical and haunting world of the Boiling Isles, following a young teenage Latina protagonist and human, Luz Noceda. Meeting Eda Clawthorne, the Owl Lady, and living in the Owl House with her, Luz learns many things along the journey-how to perform magic with glyphs, how to maintain her friendships, and discovering who she wants to truly be. The show was a success to many fans, as the characters were completely relatable and worthy of admiration.

When Season 3 was getting announced, fans were pissed to the bone when it was discovered that Season 3 was only going to be 3 episodes, cutting off so many details that could have been further explored if a whole season was done (giving a big side eye to you, Disney). The show’s creator, Dana Terrace, continued to let fans know that all their love is appreciated, and fans promoted the show as much as they could, making fanart, writing fanfics, and so much more. 

As the years pass, many of the characters get new looks, but are still the same people. Vee got a nose ring, Willow cut her hair shorter, Eda grew her hair out again, Gus got a new hair look (and I love it!), and King got a bit taller. Since he’s a Titan, there’s a long way of growing for this little guy.

Also, Hunter has a new palisman, and it’s named Waffles! How adorable is that! I love how Willow and Hunter made a grave for Flapjack, *sobs harder*.

There are many theories that surrounded the show, and the number drastically increased when it came to the short Season 3. Fans began to think about the story surrounding Caleb Wittebane, Belo’s (Phillip’s) brother, and a witch named Evelyn. Fans believe that she was a Clawthorne like Eda and Lillith (and King, even though he is adopted), and there are clues that match every character’s design, as fans continue to try and connect the dots. We only know the story Masha had told the crew during “Thanks to Them”, but there was certainly more to be discovered. Regarding the theory that the entire show was just a dream Luz was having, we’re thankful that this was truly all real.

This was also a good ending for all Lumity and Huntlow shippers. We got to see Amity and Luz share a kiss, and another on the cheek towards the ending, and we love to see the representation. Hunter and Willow meet and hold hands, which implies that they are most likely together now (hopefully).

As a bisexual myself, I admired the representation this show gave to all the LGBTQ+ fans out there. When Luz came out to her mom, I was so proud of her. Many unfortunately do not have that much support that Camila gave Luz, but this show is there for LGBTQ+ fans to be welcome and appreciated. 

Now, fans will continue to display The Owl House in their own ways on social media and everywhere else, letting the show live on. It’s crazy how the show is officially over, but it is never over in our hearts. Keep on rewatching it as many times as you want, and show others that The Owl House was worthy of it’s success!

Indie KING CLAWTHORNE from The Owl House! NOT SPOILER FREE.

Please read the rules under the cut before interacting!

[ added 11 june: REALLY emphasising the slow activity! ]

ASK PROMPTS -> [ Always accepting + open to non-mutuals, unless stated otherwise in the tags! Go wild. ]

ABOUT KING -> [ WIP, so just a wiki link for now 😔 ]

MUN.

You can call me Forest, and I'm 20! I find it amazingly difficult to talk to people and keep a conversation going, so if we happen to speak ooc... I promise it's nothing against you! My social skills are just something else lol, but please let me know if I have said or done anything that upsets you - it'll never be my intention.

I am also perpetually in slow activity mode. My motivation and muse are very fickle, amongst other things in my life that might keep me from being here. This means threads/asks may be dropped over time (unintentionally or due to lack of muse), but you're welcome to ask me about it!

INTERACTING.

For the time being, I am not mutual exclusive; so anyone is welcome to send asks, unprompted or through memes (unless specified in the tags)! Starter calls will be kept mutuals only for my own sanity.

Asks and prompts are the best way to interact with me. Plotting isn't a strength of mine, unfortunately - but I'll likely be up for most things!

With replies, I try to do it oldest to newest, but I am so slow that it doesn't always work out. I also won't reply to every ask I get - this is always due to muse, whether I have inspiration or not... but please don't be discouraged from sending more! You can send as many as you like - the more the merrier, it gives me variety and options to choose from. -> Sometimes I will practise this when sending memes, just know that I'm never expecting you to answer all of them! If receiving multiple asks bothers you, feel free to let me know and I will keep that in mind :)

FOLLOWING.

Two of the main reasons I might not follow back: I'm unfamiliar with your fandom, or I'm not sure how our muses would interact. I prefer to stick to fandoms I know for that reason, but if you have an idea you're welcome to jump in my ask! A secret third reason: I didn't realise/forgot to check.

I guarantee I always read rules before following, if you have one available. I try to send passwords, but it does make me a bit uncomfortable so there might be occasions where I don't - but again, they will have been read! -> I do follow quite a lot of people, so I'm bound to forget rules sometimes. Please give me a little nudge if I break one of yours!

OTHER.

I have a tendency to write King's dialogue in uppercase - not because he's shouting all the time (though he is definitely a loud boy), but because it helps me find his voice better. However, if you'd prefer me to write his dialogue normally because it's difficult to read, let me know and I'll drop it in our interactions!

Credit to @/bugresources for my icons!!

Will be updated as needed, but if there's anything you're unsure about feel free to ask :]

Emira being questioned about

THE HISTORY OF THE BOILING ISLES.

*Oh, Titan. She thinks..

Em has been put in a difficult position.

She has never been had too much enthusiasm for history lessons, so has missed out on the occasional lessons.

Her actual knowledge of Boiling Isles history is patchy, it hadn't seemed important! *

"So, according my history lessons, It's now been 50 years since the Empire was formed, and life on the Isles stabilised, after the Savage Times.

So, I think that there's not been too many changes since that time, really.

The Emperor has kept things pretty much under his control, rounding up any wild witches that the Coven Scouts discover.

Though someone that you may know, Edalyn Clawthorne,  known by most as The Owl Lady, is famous for evading capture.

There was a sort of low key rebellion against the Emperor, and quite a lot of 'illegal' practices were, and still are, carried on quietly.

When Kids come of age, they are still expected to join a Coven, and so are then restricted to the one track."

* She paused, thinking...*

"I'd reckon that the most changes really only started when a human, Luz, appeared with Edalyn.

Because of her influence, Hexside School started allowing students to study more than one track, and the school has quietly become, some think, a part of the 'resistance' against the Emperor.

There's definitely a lot going on right now."

* She paused, thinking about all the family upheaval...*

"But it's mainly not something that is being openly discussed.

This Luz, the Human, has often been involved when something happens lately.

And the rumors have been spreading that The Day Of Unity, when, so the Emperor has said, a paradise, uniting the Realms in peace and prosperity, is in fact nothing of the sort. But in fact something to fear.

To be honest, I'm worried about whatever is happening right now."

* She takes a deep breath, that had /not/ been easy~*

(Originally written before The Day Of Unity..."Kings Tide")

[thenwethrowitonthefire]

if you could pick a character from any media you had watched this year to come and live with you (or you go and live in their world) who would've been?

Ooooh that's a good question! I watched quite a few good things this year and the funny thing is how this question made me realise that I wouldn't enjoy having most of my favourite blorbos in my house for a prolonged time. Only one remains:

Lilith Clawthorne from The Owl House. Autistic aroace queen with attention to detail, likes orderly approaches to things and I dig that. It'll be a nice household and though I'm not into history in general, I think Boiling Isles history and craftsmanship from the past are very much things I could equally enjoy. We'd definitely have some good things to nerd over and I love her way of enjoying things. I also think we have a similar ratio for staying at home and going outside for adventure, and I think we'd enjoy similar types of gatherings with people. Probably only one or two trusted guests at the house here and there. I dig that I get Hooty as an adjacent bestie, I too love that guy. She's got a good serious/silly ratio as well.

I'd like to go live there instead of here, obviously. Magic! And they've got a pretty darn lovely society.
