Owlscop

The Owl House X Petscop AU

Presentation of the AU

I know what you're thinking. What do TOH and Petscop even have in common ? They're so different ! Well, hear me out, you're in for a treat.

So, I was in the middle of my biannual Petscop hyperfixation not too long after TOH season 3 came out so I was kind of obsessed with both at the same time. I started noticing some similarities between the two and I had an epiphany : they are so similar, in fact, that you can put some TOH characters in the universe and story of Petscop. Interested ?

COLOR CODING : pink colored words are key words linked to Petscop - purple colored words are key words linked to The Owl House. Certain characters have their own colors that may be used.

WARNING : Heavy TOH and Petscop spoilers

Basic principle of the AU

This AU consists in placing some characters from The Owl House inside of Petscop's universe, and in making them follow the original story of Petscop. [Note : since Petscop is a work that leaves a lot to the viewer's interpretation, it's important to know here that I'm using Captain Hype's explanations and theories on Petscop] Owlscop is Petscop, with TOH characters.

This AU comes from the very clear parallels one can make between core aspects of Petscop, and Hunter's story. Mainly, what gave me the idea for this AU is the similarities between the Rebirthing that Care and others go through and Hunter being a Grimwalker, as well as between Marvin's and Belos' crimes.

Similarities between the stories

IN PETSCOP : A Rebirthing is a sort of ritual performed by certain characters of Petscop, which goal is to bring back a dead person by making them "reborn" into another person. This complicated process involves mentally breaking a child beyond repair (from the state A to B to NLM) so that they can then become someone else (the dead person). This process can fail if the child is not willing to go through with it. In Petscop, Marvin Mark is someone who performs multiple Rebirthings on children from his family. Indeed, in his childhood, Marvin was responsible for the disappearance (possible death) of his friend Lina, who he has since been trying to bring back to life obsessively. That's why he started performing Rebirthings. Since the first one he did on his nephew Mike did not work (or at the very least he thinks so) and Mike died (the reason why he died is unclear, but it's certain that Marvin really abused him especially to make him Mike NLM), Marvin turned to his own daughter Care (who he had with Lina's sister Anna and who looks a lot like his deceased friend) to try and bring her back again. But Care's Rebirthing also failed and Marvin was not pleased. This causes the kids a lot of trauma as well as some identity struggles.

IN THE OWL HOUSE : Grimwalkers are people that are created by someone using certain ingredients (it's somewhat of a ritual too). Belos is the one who makes Grimwalkers so that they can serve him. These Grimwalkers all look alike, since they pretty much all share the appearance of Belos' late older brother Caleb. Caleb left Belos because he fell in love with a witch and Belos was... Being kind of a bitch about it honestly, and that's the last they saw of each other. But Belos was still obsessed with his brother and trying to get him back, despite them being estranged and then him dying. That is why he made his many Grimwalkers as a way to get him back. But his creations were never good enough (at least to him) and so he discarded them once he realized they were a failure and made a new one, Hunter being the last one he made. After making Hunter, Belos abused him, using him as a tool and denying him any sort of affection or even real attention while the poor kid was so desperate to prove himself to his beloved uncle, to the point of Hunter feeling like nobody really loves him. Ultimately as Hunter join Luz' crew, Belos deems him a failure too. The former Golden Guard really struggles with his Grimwalker identity.

SIMILARITIES : As you can now see, there are really obvious things in common between TOH and Petscop, that I'm going to explicit even more.

There is a process that is used to somehow bring back a dead person, either by making them reborn into another person (Rebirthing) or by creating someone like them all over again (Grimwalkers).

The person who performs it (Marvin/Belos) abuses children (Mike + Care/Hunter) who are their family members by making them extremely mentally distressed to the point of them thinking they are totally unlovable so that the process can work.

That person is utterly obsessed with the person they are trying to bring back (Lina/Caleb) and the very fact of bringing them back.

That person is responsible for their loss of the person they are trying to bring back, who was very close to them.

They have performed their ritual multiple times, abusing multiple kids (Mike and Care/all the Golden Guards), because they always failed. All the "failed attempts" but the last one died.

The last kid who had to go through this (Care/Hunter) was also a "failed attempt" who is now traumatized and struggling with their identity.

The main theme in both stories (or part of story for TOH) is child abuse and neglect, the trauma that stems from it, and struggles with identity.

Now it should be clear why I think that these two stories have more in common than meets the eye. I think the similarities are so strong, in fact, that it's possible to replace Petscop character by TOH ones, and that's exactly what Owlscop is all about.

I will explain in another post in more detail the correspondances between main characters of the story !

Thank you for reading this, this AU means a lot to me <3
