pov: its 2024. bakugou died in the anime and won’t be coming back until season 8. chapter 428 came out and everyone keeps arguing on whether or not there will be a love confession when ochaco is literally bawling her eyes out and mourning the loss of someone who sacrificed themself for her. izuku lost his quirk and there are 3 chapters left in the manga, so it is uncertain whether or not he will get it back. all of class 2a is still recovering from the war and haven’t smiled since and yet all the fandom is worried about are ship wars. a double barreled shotgun x my mouth is the only ship with any potential of becoming canon. (besides kamijirou ofc !! 🥰)

TRANSFORMERS EARTHSPARK SEASON 3

WAS

AWESOME !!!!!!

ESPECIALLY THE FINALE, THE STORY AND ANIMATION WAS SO MUCH LIKE S1 (a little less but still better than S2 start ) I WAS FLOORED

THAT'S THE FRICKING STUFF I SIGNED FOR

there's lot of stuff that still need improvement but seeing the progress is so relieving they really did a good job

AND MY CHILD NIGTHSHADE IS ACTIVE IN THE PLOT AMD EPISODES ONCE MORE!!!!

[chocolatecoveredbrusselsprout]

Okay all my love to TOH fandom but one of the biggest Ls is the fans making “huntlow” the primary ship name for Hunter and Willow when the crew used “Winter” and it is SO MUCH BETTER AND PRETTIER AND 😭 I wish it was more commonly used I love when ships make clever names

Why you should vote for each of them and full art below!

Jael "Praxis" Kalabhiti e Altiora (by @cjsees for D&D)

Praxis is a beaten-down but tragically kind lawful good paladin to whom the world has not been kind in return. He devotedly follows his universe's goddess of progress in order to bring about a better future—unknowing, or uncaring, that every spell he casts deals necrotic damage, and every time he dons his armour he finds it harder to take off again. In reality, the voice in his visions he *thinks* is from the goddess of progress has been lying to him his whole life, and although he passionately believes in his cause to the point of doing everything and anything she asks of him for the greater good—up to and including murder—none of the promises his deity has made to him are ones the god of extinction intends to keep. You should vote for him because he really just needs a break at this point. every vote for praxis is one minute of a nap he gets to take

i haven’t made a proper toh text post in a while but i was going off about this on discord and twitter so now i am bringing it here:

What the hell happened with Luz’s cape?

Just like. everything involving it. It was heavily underused in the series (Luz herself only wore it in four episodes, three of them being in Season 2A) despite its importance as a representation of Luz’s connection to Eda (and in my opinion, the demon realm as a whole), and was later passed down to King, only for it to inexplicably disappear anyways.

So under the cut, I’m gonna provide a detailed history of the cape and every instance in which it was used, to try and make any sense of what happened to it.

Starting with Agony of a Witch, Eda is first seen preparing witch’s wool to knit a cloak out of. According to her, it “repels powerful spells”, so it apparently has actual function aside from looking cool as shit. Luz wants the cloak, but Eda insists that she herself needs it to ward off the increased attacks from the Emperor’s Coven. However, later thinking of Luz’s kindness and devotion to her wellness, Eda decides to make the cloak for Luz instead, as a gift.

Next is Young Blood Old Souls, where Eda is currently captured. Finding the finished cape (I’m gonna call it a cape from now on), Luz is inspired by Eda’s gift and their bond to go on a rescue mission to get Eda back. This is the first episode where Luz herself wears the cape, but it’s also this episode where there’s a noticable flaw; the cape just looks cool.

We skip to Lilith and King getting captured and the “fight” between Luz and Belos, and he opens by teleporting behind Luz and flinging her against the wall with magic of his own. The cape seemingly does nothing to hinder this.

Here, you could probably chalk it up to Belos’ red magic being artificial (since he’s a human and all), which is why it was able to pierce through the cape that was made to counter magic. Fine. So Luz rescues Eda, King, and Lilith and that wraps up Season 1.

Fast forward to Echoes of the Past, the third episode of Season 2 and the first one of the season in which Luz wears the cape. She goes to King’s old island along with Lilith and Hooty to find out about King’s past and stuff. The biggest threat of danger they face there is Jean-Luc, who attacks not with magic, but with polymorphism by shifting into various shapes to attack. No magic involved means no chance for the cape to do its thing.

Fast forward again to our next episode, Hunting Palismans (or Palismen, whatever). In this one, Luz goes out at night in her cape and pajamas with Flapjack and later gets scooped up by Hunter along with the rest of the palismen. Once again, the wonkass red magic that Hunter also uses pierces through Luz's cape. The later fight with Kikimora (who uses actual magic) doesn't count, as Luz had put her cape away.

Fast forward yet again to our next episode: Yesterday's Lie, the last episode of Season 2A and the very last episode that features Luz wearing the cape. In this one, Luz is in no inherent danger, as she spends almost the entire episode in the Realm of Inbetween while Vee and Camila must contend with Jacob’s nonsense. Sometime during Luz’s final conversation with Camila before being pulled back, though, the cape itself gets stained and torn with several holes in it.

And such is the last time we see Luz wear the Witch’s Wool cape. It had a good run of four episodes spaced out from eachother, but you may be wondering, “What happened after this?” That is where things get… ehhhhhh.

The next appearance of the cape is about halfway through Season 2B, in Hollow Mind. Near the beginning of the episode, Luz, Eda, and King go out to the Night Market to buy some Witch’s Wool to repair the cape. Unfortunately, Prim the shopkeeper closed up to join the Oracle Coven. Oopsie poopsie.

That’s all we see from the cape this episode. Which brings us to the very last episode that the cape appears in, in the strangest situation possible: Clouds on the Horizon.

In their last moments all together for a long time, it is shown that Eda fixed up the cape herself by shortening the cape to remove the torn bits. It’s also here where the cape goes to its final owner: King. Everything looks spelled out clearly; the cape is now too short for Luz to wear ( D: ), so it goes to King. Simple right? Surely it will come up later as a plot point. King will at least be shown wearing it throughout the episode, right?

Wrong.

Not even a minute after King is given the cape, it completely, inexplicably disappears during the commercial break. When we cut to Luz, King, and Katya descending into the forest, the cape is literally nowhere to be seen. Actual video proof.

And this is the last time we ever see the cape. No seriously, it never shows up again. Not with King during his stay with the Collector. Not with Eda as she hides out with Lilith in the Archive House up in the sky. Not even four years later, when Luz is seen packing up her closest belongings as she prepares to attend the University of Wild Magic, does it even make a cameo.

I think this might be the owl house equivalent of Araki Forgot Syndrome. How the hell does one introduce a physical attribute of Luz's character that represent not only her ties to the Demon Realm, but her bond with Eda, the witch who guided her through this new world, only to severely underuse it, show nothing of its function, write it off as broken, and then have it disappear from existence. We had a good thing. We had a badass cape, it had meaning, we had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork.

And it was hyped up, too. The original poster for Season 2 of the show had Luz front and center wearing the cape, and it was even included in the brand new animation provided for the same season's opening sequence.

Alas, the show has been over for a long time now, so there's not a lot that can happen now. We can only hope that in some post-canon spinoff/continuation or another Reddit AMA the whereabouts of this marvelous piece of fabric are addressed, because I will continue to rag about this at any given chance. Be thankful that I don't use the rest of this post to rag about what happened to any part of Luz's original outfit to begin with.

[quadrantadvisor]

Any Sport in a Storm has always felt kind of tonally weird to me? It does what it does incredibly well, but the thing that it does is defang Hunter as any sort of threatening presence to the main cast. But now that I've realized that season 2b's episodes were the first ones made after most of season 3 was cut, it makes a ton of sense that they had to speedrun Hunter's redemption arc, and Any Sport in a Storm is super important to making that arc believable. Honestly, they did a great job, it's just funny to me that Hunter's fandom personality was SO much more angsty before that episode came out.

And considering Hunter's redemption arc in the context of a longer show, I bet you that the Hollow Mind equivalent was originally part of the season finale. I don't think it would be the LAST episode, because the escalation and action for the whole cast isn't there. But it makes SO MUCH SENSE as the first episode of a two part finale, where we deal with the horible ramifications in the follow up. (It's also possible that there wouldn't have been a "trapped in the Emperor's mind" episode originally, and this was also just an expedient way to help Hunter learn the truth, but given the set up of Understanding Willow and how much great stuff they do with the idea, I'd like to think it was always there.)
