#the owl house season 3 episode 2

[icy-watch]

Thank you, animators, for not showing us Hooty disconnecting himself from the Owl House. Sound designers, we are now mortal enemies.

CW: I'm mean here about shows and stuff people like

syndrome from incredibles, Thanos in the comics, mad hatter from Batman, tighten from Megamind, frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame, Red Hulk, parasite from superman and Ozai all of these villains are pathetic but they work for some reason I cannot place. A lot of stories try and write villains that are pathetic but also scary and it doesn't work- I love Starscream he can be an amazing character (he can be sympathetic or a straight up monster he can be lame but still threatening etc) and I like most versions but God can writers screw him up and he can fall flat (i love tfp i swear but god i hate their starscream! He just didn't work for me! Megatron and knockout are cool tho) Belos for some reason doesn't work for me at all- I know he should be scary while the fandom is wrong about him being a colonizer/cult leader/a dictator (he's not stop using words you dont understand the meaning of)and how insane it is that he's in a kids show (watch more cartoons there's villains darker than him) he's still trying to commit genocide and he's abusive and he's at his core got very little depth or complexity- he's really just an isekai character gone wrong- a pathetic guy with a hero complex and emotional baggage who becomes a villain- but he just didn't work for me. Neither does Jacob Hopkins- he's just Ronaldo from SU if he was written to be a straight up hate sink. I'm a lesbian latina with autism and was raised with a different sect of christan beliefs from him- I know historically this guy would have murdered me and i know he should work but something about him didn't stick the landing! The main thing I think about with belos isn't 'wow this guy is a great villain' it's 'can y'all stop being weirdly ableist toward this old man' or 'why do so many of y'all wanna fuck this man he's ugly' and dont get me started on mcu villains - their version of the mandarin, she-hulk's dumb men rights activists on reddit (seriously that's the scariest villain you can come up with? Like revenge porn is evil but really? I don't like the term man-baby- I have personal issues with how the term has been used in ableist ways- but yeah erm man babies on reddit are the best you can do for a villain? That's freaking stupid) and OMG Sutur in Ragnarok was terrible etc etc- these villains all suck!

How do you write villains that are pathetic but still work? How do write villains who are at their core whiny insecure losers but still work as detestable threatening villains? Like marvel made a character whose whole thing was that he's an incel work but so many other stories fail to write that stuff. Part of me thinks it's because these stories are desperate to make their villain into a hate sink joke but still make them scary and it fails but Tighten and Red Hulk are right there and there's no way the writers weren't purposely writing hate sinks with them! And they work! Why doesn't belos?

Day in Fandom History: January 21…

It's a race against time for Luz and her friends as they return to a now-transformed Demon Realm and prepare to catch up to Belos and reach The Collector if they save the Boiling Isles and turn everything back to normal. “For the Future” premiered on this day, 2 Years Ago.

She's fiiine she was also playing video games

I can understand people having mixed feelings on the Collector ESPECIALLY in season 3 and such but the argument that he was just “thrown in at last minute” isn’t really a valid argument because 1. Dana and some of the crew members implied he would’ve gotten a bigger storyline without the shortening in one of the Post Hoots, and 2. In Echoes of the Past, when they show the backstory between how King was born, The Titan (King’s dad) was shown fighting with one of the Collectors, PLUS in the murals with the Titans, you can see several Collectors surrounding all the Titans and their babies, along with another Collector showing up in Knock Knock Knocking on Hooty’s Door

[creativelysufferingon1braincell]

I will finish this one of these days

[purplemoonabove]

😑

Of course they would do this.

If it weren’t for the cut, this wouldn’t have happened.

Clever, will admit, but also proves how much they f**ked up.

What actually happened on The Day Of Unity?

By Edalyn Clawthorne.

It's still all a bit confused.

As the eclipse became total, the Draining Spell really kicked in.

At the main arena, terrified people tried to run for the exits, only to find them blocked.

Most adults were pretty much out of it due to the effects of that Draining Spell.

Those marked with a Coven Sigil were to suffer the worse, wherever they were.

They didn't actually have to be physically at the "Ceremony' to be affected.

It is a horrible feeling, your very being being sucked out of your body!

The magic produced by a witches Bile Sac takes time to be replaced.

If it is somehow drained faster than it can be replaced, the result is similar to a critical loss of blood.

Unconsciousness, followed by death.

Some, unfortunately, didn't make it!

The youngsters from Hexside, who had escaped being branded with Coven Sigils were the hero's of the time just after the Draining Spell was suddenly stopped!

They were able to organize a rescue mission, taking the survivors to safe places, where they could be cared for, and helped to recover.

So, with most of the adults with Coven Sigils out of commission, it's been up to those without sigils to take care of them.

The so-called Wild Witches have had to step up and organize things.

Something happened at The Head, that's certain. But no one has so far ventured too near to find out what.

So...we are all in hiding, until those that can, recover, and until whatever is at The Head shows itself...

(This was originally written before Season 3 Episode 2 was released.)

The castle the Collector built looks an awful lot like a crown

[imsosocold]

Like the only thing I like about the last episode was the Odalia and Collector dynamic. It’s horrifying and interesting and irrationally sickly cute. Maybe there’ll finally be content on Odalia doesn’t show her being a hate sink or a punching bag.

So I know there's no point in wishing for them to continue the show, but I've heard of some potential novels being released. And I would love love LOVE for there to be books that's just of the current show. Like each chapter aligns with each episode, and in the season 2 and season 3 books it stretches things out better, adds details that weren't included in the show, and basically shows what the show would look like if it was made like an actual show.

Not as a spite to it being shortened (though I am upset about that), but I want to see things that were missed and left out, and I want to read about how it all fits together. With more scenes with the kids in the human realm, New Hexide gaining a better hierarchy (like a council), the rebuild of the boiling isles, better scenes with characters meeting or reuniting, you get it. Even if it's just a book I would adore each moment.

I have watched the owl house finale

Which means I will be doing the final work for my episode illustrations soon and then dropping all of the season 3 episode illustrations in one post probably sometime around when they drop on disney+

That is once my brain returns to functioning because holy shit
