HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOH FINALE!!!

The fact that there was an eclipse today could NOT have been more funny to me (fun fact: i was only a three hour drive from being in the path of totality. Alas, i had classes to go to.)

In my opinion, The Owl House, at it's core, is a show about families. Good ones, bad ones, the ones we're born to, the ones we choose, the ones we find and build. And its about the love between those familes. So it means a lot to me that i got to spend this anniversary celebrating with part of the family i chose.

When the finale aired last year, i tried my damnedest to get my friends together to watch it with me. This show has meant so, so much to me and i wanted to share it. But everyone i asked either wasnt into it or had plans with ohter people. I ended up staying up late in my dorm to watch it by myself.

This year, however, i met (and adopted) my sibling. Imagine my face when i asked if they wanted to rewatch the finale and found out they hadnt watched any of season three. So we got together and i got to see their reaction firsthand, and we cried together over every little detail. I can now say definitively that The Owl House is a show best enjoyed with family<3

Also on the subject of Yasammy - it is SO funny that both Brooklynn’s and Kenji’s reaction to them being official was pretty much “fucking finally!” They both knew

And that also means Brooklynn’s look she gave Yaz at the end of season 3 really was a knowing one.

Spent most of the day in a car. In fact I'm still in it as I type. Good thing I had my phone and my sketchbook with me!

Grass and blanket patterns from IbisPaint, slightly edited by me.

Happy 2nd anniversary, Jwcc! This show is so dear to me.

I got a suggestion to draw campers in a sleeping pile sometime ago, but failed to do it then. So I decided to use it for the anniversary drawing. Though it's more of a sleeping line.

Day and night version, because my original idea for why they're asleep outside was star gazing.

Could these walls come crumbling down

Fandom: The Owl House

Rating: Teen

Relationships: Eda Clawthorne & Luz Noceda 

Summary: A look at “A Lying Witch and a Warden” from Eda’s POV. Title is from the song “Into the Open Air” by Julie Fowlis. Italics are Eda’s thoughts.

AO3 link here

FFN link here

Eda had sent Owlbert back through the portal after their brief trip through the human realm. She was unable to find any good stuff, plus she was getting tired. So she went back to wait at her booth while he found more garbage. That was an hour ago. The bored witch watched as random citizens walked by. A part of her worried he was caught and captured by a curious human. He was supposed to be back by now! 

Then, as she was tapping her foot in impatience, she heard the door finally open, and the owl flew through the curtain dragging a half-full sack of human garbage. 

“Finally, you're back!” Eda said with a sigh. Nevertheless, she gave Owlbert a quick scratch on his chin as a thank you. Eda thought she heard a voice from inside the tent, but she ignored it and turned to the sack. “Now let's see what we've got here.” She said as she screwed Owlbert back onto the staff. 

Eda rubbed her hands together in anticipation and looked through the assortment. A small dark box thingy? Nah, she could never figure out how to work those strange box things. “Garbage…” A diamond ring? No, everybody here's already seen those. “Garbage…” and a golden glowing goblet! Nope, she needed something rare! Something different!

Then as if the sack could read her mind, Eda gasped pulled out a large pair of strange glasses with bloodshot eyeballs. “Now this…” she said as she tried them on. “This will make me rich!” To her amusement, the eyeballs popped out and sprung for a few seconds.

It's horrifying. Perfect! 

“And this…” The next item Eda pulled out was a book. It was…eh. She's seen a few witchlings carry it around. Whatever. Her candle was starting to go out anyway. “Well, this'll make good kindling.” 

But as soon as she held the book over the flame, some kid burst out of the tent and snatched it out of her hand. “Excuse me sorry that's mine thank you!” She said quickly. 

Now where the hell did she come from? Eda thought. Then a quick look at her ears confirmed that she was a human. 

Now she could be…useful.

Before the little intruder could escape back through the portal door, Eda closed it with the key. She wasn't going to get away that easily.

“You're not going anywhere.” She said sternly. It seemed to scare the kid enough that she escaped from under the tent’s cover. Not wanting to lose this opportunity, the witch followed her. Soon enough, Eda found the girl standing at the edge of a cliff, visibly freaked out and confused, and also smacked down a stray pixie. The witch internally laughed at the child. 

Classic humans. 

“Where am I? Did I DIE?! Am I in the Bad Place?” The girl frantically asked nobody in particular. Eda grabbed her shoulder, startling her for a moment. 

“You wish.” 

The older witch dragged the girl back to the booth by her arm, sitting her down on a stool. Yup, she's human. Eda told herself. No doubt about it with those round ears. She looked to be in her teens, with dark skin and short brown hair. Said human had her knees pulled up to her chest, looking up apologetically at the woman before her. 

“I-I'm so sorry, I just wanted my book! If you're gonna eat me, just make it quick- just do it now!” The human stuttered out, holding out her arm. 

The witch internally laughed at this kid’s complete overreaction. Alright Eda, time to drop the tough guy act. Don't scare her too much.

“Eat you? Why would I eat…a potential customer?” Eda said to the girl, presenting her stash of junk. Her words seemed to confuse her, but the kid seemed to calm down, and looked up with interest. Nailed it! She's hooked! “Can I offer you a human foot filled with holes? A bar of green human candy? Oh, oh, how about this black shadow box that reflects only sadness?” Eda spoke as she went through whatever assortment of objects she found interesting. 

And, interestingly enough, instead of rejecting the offer and walking to the next stand, the human laughed a little bit at the presentation. 

“That's not all it can do.” The human says, getting out of her seat. “Here, let me see it.” Eda allows her to take the offered “shadow box” and observed as she takes something from the “human candy” bowl and inserted it into the object. Then she pushed a button and…it lit up with loud music, showing a person dancing. To Eda’s surprise, some demons and witches heard the noise and were immediately attracted. Oh, so that's how it really works.

“Huh? What's that?”

“That sound, it's so alluring…!” 

One demon held up some money. “I'll pay 40 snails for the screaming box!” 

Another demon held up his too. “I'll give you 100!”

“Can I eat the tiny person inside?” 

Eda watched in awe as more people offered up their goods for the device. All thanks to this kid. She turns to her with great interest. “What did you say your name was?” She asked with an impressed smirk. 

If she's a human, then maybe she can help King. Eda thought, remembering the other reason for pulling her aside. 

“I'm Luz! Luz Noceda!” The kid said, smiling at her. It's incredible how she hasn't run away screaming from the demons and monsters of the Isles, as most normal humans would. 

“Well, Luz, that was pretty clever…for a human.” Eda adds, taking the offered money from her customers. 

“That's kind of a weird thing for another human to say.” Luz says, raising an eyebrow. 

Oh, right, the bandana!

“Oh, dear child…” Eda started before swiftly taking off the bandana disguise to reveal her own pointy ears. “I'm not like you.” 

The witch stepped on top of her table to speak. Might as well entertain the kid. 

“I'm Eda the Owl Lady! The most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles!” Eda declared proudly. 

“A witch?” She heard Luz say in wonder and delight. 

Oh, I like this kid. 

“I am respected! Feared!”

“-Busted!” To her dismay, the loud device was smashed by none other than…an Emperor’s Guard. Customers ran away in fear, but Luz stayed by the table for whatever reason. Dammit.

“Eda the Owl Lady, you are wanted for misuse of magic and demonic misdemeanors!” The guard spoke in a gruff voice. 

“Woah, witch criminal.” Luz said from her spot by the table, watching with great interest. For some reason she…stayed. 

“You are hereby ordered to come with me to the Conformitorium!” He demanded, grabbing Eda’s arm. 

She yanked it back in annoyance. The guards were stalking her…a lot today. “Would you guys quit following me around? I haven't done squat.” Why do they call it “misuse” anyway? 

Unfortunately, the guard noticed Luz and lifted her up by her shirt. “And you're coming too. For fraternizing with a criminal!” 

“What? That's not cool!” Luz exclaimed, eyes widening. 

Quickly, Eda formulated a plan. “Oh alright alright, you win. Just let me get my stuff…” she answered, getting her staff. Swiftly, she swung it at the guard, knocking him flat on the ground. These chumps are too easy!

Quickly, Eda cast a spell to wrap up everything in a sack, hanging it on her staff. But not before pressing the button on her key. “Whoops, can't forget this!” She ran towards Luz, remembering her mission. “Follow me, human!” And she did. 

As Eda ran, Luz rambled frantically beside her. “This is crazy! If I die here my mom’s gonna kill me!” 

The witch laughed. “Ha! I won't let him hurt you. A human like you is much more valuable to me alive than dead.” Eda promised. If she is to earn Luz’s trust, she can't get hurt. No matter what.

“Wait, what's that supposed to-”

Eda didn't let her finish as she suddenly hooked her arm with Luz’s, whooping as she swept her off the ground and into the air with her on the staff. 

As expected, Luz was frozen in her place on the staff, tears leaking from her closed eyes. 

“You can open your eyes now, human.” Eda told her.

Luz opened one eye, then another before letting out a whimper and nearly falling off. “Flying staffs, crazy monsters, you're a witch! What is this place?” She asked as Eda pulled her back up. 

“This is the Boiling Isles.” Eda explained to the girl. “Every myth you humans have is a bit of our world leaking into yours.” Just then, a large griffin flew by, sparking Luz’s interest. 

“A griffin!” And when it started breathing spiders, “I knew it!” She exclaimed happily. Eda marveled at Luz’s great fascination with this world. She loved the enthusiasm. 

“Yup! Griffins, vampires, giraffes…” Eda recounted. 

“Giraffes?” Luz asked, confused. 

“Oh yeah. We banished those guys. Buncha freaks.” Eda said with disgust. Those super long necks had always unnerved her. She stepped off her staff once she arrived at their destination. Luz stayed on, unsure. Until she noticed Eda's detached hand and jolted off. 

Jumpy isn't she? 

“Whoops, that happens sometimes.” Eda said nonchalantly, screwing her hand back on. 

Luz got to her feet. “Well, I've had enough adventure for today. This is clearly not the PG fantasy world I always dreamed about. So, can you help me get back home?” She said. Eda held her staff in front of her before she could walk away, making her freeze in place. She needs her for this. And she's not getting away so easily.

“Only if you help me first!” Eda insists. “Ha! Now come along, human.” 

As she and Luz approached the door, Luz piped up again. 

“Aren't you worried about those guards finding us?” She asked, looking behind them nervously. 

Eda looked to her and gestured at her house. “Nope! My house has a state-of-the-art defense system.” As long as Hooty’s around, she and anybody that chooses to stay is safe. But…not from his voice. 

“Hoot hoot, password please.” Hooty said. Eda rolled her eyes and poked his eyes. “Ow!” 

“We got no time for this, Hooty. Let us in.” She answered with two fingers still held up as a warning. 

“Alright alright, jeez! You never wanna have any fun! Ow! Hoot!” Hooty scoffs before letting Eda and her new aquaintance in. She let the girl take a brief look around before snapping her fingers. 

“Welcome to…the Owl House.” And with a snap of her fingers, everything came to life. Candles lit up, the broom sweeping, the fireplace blazing, and the ceiling lit up with that beautiful picture of a bird. Luz looked around in amazement and walked around. 

“Where I hide away from the pressures of modern life.” Eda explained. “Also the cops. Also ex-boyfriends, ha!” She added with a snort. 

Luz placed her book down on the coffee table. “This place is beautiful. So do you live here all alone?” 

As if on cue, the house seemed to shake with King’s angry stomping. That damn demon. 

“Actually, I have a roommate.” Eda frowned.

“WHO DARES INTRUDE UPON I, THE King of Demons!” King demanded as he entered the living room in his towel and…holding a rubber duckie. 

Instead of getting scared, Luz gasped in delight at the sight of him. “Ay que lindo!” She exclaimed, and then she quickly scooped a confused King into a tight hug. “Eda he's so cute! Who's a widdle guy? Who's a widdle guy? Is it you, is it you? Mmm!!!” She cooed excitedly to the now frightened demon. Not that Eda could really blame her, he is really adorable. 

“NO! I don't know who your little guy is! Eda! Who is this monster?!” King cried as he tried and failed to push the girl off him. 

“Oh, this is Luz, the human.” Eda tells him, restraining Luz with her arms around her torso and prying her away, then putting her back down. “She's here to help us with our…situation.” She explains with a hand on Luz's shoulder. 

King lit up. “Oh! Hurray!”

But Luz backed away, apprehensive. “Wait wait wait. I don't like the sound of this 'situation.’” 

Eda stepped in front of her before she can back out. “Just…let me explain.” She says before drawing a spell circle to help illustrate their objective. “King was once a mighty king of demons, until his crown of power was stolen, and he became…this.” She noticed Luz had picked up King again. 

“You mean this little bundle of joy?” She interjects. 

Eda continued. “The crown is being held by the evil Warden Wrath, and locked away behind a magical force field that only a human can break through. A human like you.” She lifted the spell and looked at Luz. “If you help us retrieve his crown, we’ll send you back to your realm.” And while Eda may be Public Enemy #1, she intended to keep her end of this deal. “So what do you say?” To convince her, she picked up King by his head. “Plus, who could say no to this cute face?” 

“No! Please don't encourage her!” King cried, squirming in her hold. 

Eda dropped him. “I mean, we're kinda your only way home.” She reasons. There's not any other portal to the human realm. That she knows of, at least. 

Luz averted her eyes to the side. “So I don't really have a choice, do I?” She guesses.

“Nope! Now we've got no time to lose!” Eda urges, picking up Luz and holding her over her shoulder. The girl didn't struggle. Behind her, Eda hears King talking to his duck. 

“Where are we going?” Luz asks over her shoulder. 

“Somewhere super fun!” 

~ 

“The Conformitorium, a place for those considered 'unsuitable for society’.” Eda explains with distaste when they reached their destination. She remembers how guards would throw people in that damn place simply for being weird. Most of them haven't committed any real crimes! 

Beside her, Luz had found one of her famous Wanted posters. “Whoa. These guys really have the hots for you.” She observed. 

She's not wrong.

“Yep. But we were never caught because we were too slippery.” Eda proudly says with a smirk. That poster would always be one of her proudest moments. She looked good in it! A part of her feels overjoyed that this child didn't judge her for her criminal status.

“Try to catch me when I'm covered in grease, I'm a squirmy little fella.” King remarked in his place on Luz's head. Luz, who probably just found it weird, tilted her head so the demon could slip off. “You and I will sneak up to the top of the tower where they're holding my crown.” He explained to her. 

“And I'm gonna make sure the warden’s distracted.” Eda added.

Luz gasped in excitement. “Will I need a disguise?”

“Uh…” Eda didn't really answer. Nobody's seen her before, so does she really need one? 

“I've been waiting to use this.” Luz said, and put on her hoodie, flicking the cat ears up. “Meow meow!” 

Oh why not let her have some fun. Besides, it’s kinda cute!

“It's hideous.” King commented. 

“Oh you'll fit right in.” Eda agreed, smiling. Then she planted her staff to the ground, creating a glowing yellow disk. “Hang on tight!” Then it  lifted Luz and King to the air, elevating them to a tower window. After they were dropped off, she flew away on her staff to begin her search. “Meet you guys at the top of the tower!” She said. 

Eda flew around the halls of the Conformitorium, passing cells, making sure no guards were around while also searching for the Warden. Eventually, she heard someone at the end of the hallway. She peeked around the corner and sure enough, there was Warden Wrath, holding a tiny creature with a big nose hostage. 

Good. Just where we want him. Eda flew back the other way to go update the human girl. 

After a few minutes of searching, Eda found Luz walking around the halls with her hood down, looking…dejected. “Hey, I just checked, the Warden is distracted, tormenting some tiny creature. He won't coming around here anytime soon.” 

Luz didn't respond, and her expression didn't change as she walked past Eda. She looked deep in thought. 

Where's that enthusiasm from earlier? 

In front of them was a large door labeled “Contraband”. This was the room where King’s crown was! 

“My crown, it's close! I can sense its power!” King said excitedly. He scrambled quickly to the door, desperately trying to get it open. Of course, with his tiny body it would take a while. 

“Aw, he's so cute when he's thirsty for power.” Eda cooed. 

Then Luz finally spoke. “It's not fair that they're all in here. They just want to be themselves!” She said sadly. Eda assumed she probably talked to a few of the prisoners. “Why does everyone think being a weirdo is so bad?” She asked, looking up at the witch with sad eyes. 

She understands. She knows what it's like to be stifled. Eda thought fondly. I really like this kid.

Before Eda could come up with a response, a noise snapped both of them out of their thoughts, King finally got the door open, and was now laughing to himself as he excitedly sprinted into the room. 

“Come on, before he hurts himself.” Eda sighed. And as if on cue, she heard an “ow!” followed by a zap. 

In the room, King was repeatedly headbutting the barrier, failing over and over again to get through. 

Ha, cute.

“We have a human, remember?” Eda reminded him, looking up at Luz, silently telling her what she had to do. 

“Oh yeah!” Said King.

Luz took a deep breath as if to prepare herself, and slowly stepped through the barrier. Eda and King stood outside, waiting for the human to find what they needed. And sure enough, Luz stepped back out, holding the crown, looking confused. 

King took it from her, putting it on. “Yes, yes! I can feel my powers returning! You there, nightmare critter! I shall call you Francois and you shall be a minion in my army of darkness!” He pointed excitedly to a random stuffed rabbit. “Ha, ha!” He laughed triumphantly. 

“That crown doesn't give him any powers, does it?” Luz asked, disappointed and confused. 

“Uh, no.” Eda replied. Luz gave her a skeptical look. “Oh, look at us, Luz. King and I don't have much in this world, we only have each other. So if that dumb crown is important to him, it important to me.” She says, trying to convince the girl that this wasn't a total waste of time. “Besides, us weirdos have to stick together, you know?” She concluded with a wink. Luz looked at her and smiled, pink tinting her cheeks. 

I knew you'd understand. 

“Well, we owe you one. Now let's get outta here before the warden finds us and loses his head.” She stated. 

“Too late.” A sinister voice said behind her.

The owner of that voice swiftly and effortlessly cut of Eda’s head, which Luz caught in her hands. The girl screamed. 

“AAHH!!!” 

“OW! Oh I hate it when that happens.” 

“AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

Luz held Eda’s head close, looking at her with terrified eyes. “Eda! Are you okay?!” 

“Yeah, this just happens when you get older.” Eda said nonchalantly. 

“Does it?” Luz asked, horrified. 

Well it started happening when I got older, I don't know about other witches…where's my body?

Warden Wrath approached them. “Finally, I have you cornered, Eda the Owl Lady.” Then he took King’s crown again, crushing it easily in his hands. 

“Weh?!”

“My guards could never get you, but I knew if I took your pet’s toy, you'd come running.” He crushed the crown easily in his hands. 

“NO!” King sobbed. “My power!” 

Luz and Eda glared at him. “What do you want with me?! I've never actually broken any of your stupid laws…in front of you!” Eda glowered. They came all this way just for King! Nobody makes him cry like that!

“I want you…” he kneeled down on one knee. “To go out with me.”

What the hell? 

“Wha?” 

“What?” 

Warden continued. “You've always eluded our capture. You've always been the one who got away. I found that alluring.” He said. 

What the fuck?

“I hate everything you're saying right now.” Luz said, disgusted. Eda was even more disgusted. These guys never ever got the message to back off. All that, just because he wanted a date? What a load of bull.

Warden snapped out of his lovestruck state. “You stay out of this!” He threw a goopy arm at Luz, knocking Eda’s head out of her hands. As she struggled, he picked Eda’s head up by her hair and stared her in the face. 

“So how about it, Owl Lady? The most powerful witch of the Boiling Isles and the feared Warden Wrath. We'd be the strongest power couple ever.” Warden said. Eda cringed. “I mean, it's not like you can say no right now.” 

Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse. 

Eda looked to Luz, then to King, who was now struggling to get out of a guard’s arms, and formulated a plan in her head. 

“Alright, Warden, you win. I'd just like to say something first.” She sighed. “Come closer.” He brought her head closer. “No, just come a little bit closer. Just… yeah that's good-” and Eda blew a raspberry right in his face, breaking his concentration and making him drop Luz. While he was groaning in disgust, Eda was cackling from where she hung.

He's so gullible! I knew he'd fall for that! 

“Impudent wench! Don't you know how many germs are in your mouth? Yuck!” He sneered. 

“Get over it! You had your guards stalk me and then you cut off my head! I am NOT going out with you!” She said angrily. 

“If you don't accept, then I have no choice but to-” 

WHACK! 

Her staff came up from behind, knocking him on the head, making him drop Eda’s head. It was none other than Luz! 

Eda chuckled. “Nice!” What a smart girl! Quick thinking!

Then she got her body to come over and pull the guards’ hoods over their faces, distracting them. Luz ran over and picked up Eda’s head and grabbing King back from a guard, getting on the staff, trying to figure out how to make it fly. 

“Expecto…flying? Magicusescapicus!” Luz said, but nothing happened. 

It doesn't really require enchantments, kid… 

“Gun it magic stick!” Eda barked, and immediately, the trio was flying through the air. They haphazardly flew through the halls, passing jail cells. Luz looked to Eda and held out an arm. 

“Eda, lend me a hand!” Luz said to the head. Eda, knowing what she wanted to do, linked her arm with Luz’s, giving them enough strength to move the levers to open the cell doors, freeing whoever the prisoners were. Then they all burst through a door, and the warden finally caught up to them. He launched a goopy arm at them, and they crash-landed to the ground. 

The warden morphed his hand into an axe, and Eda put her head back on, feeling the satisfaction of being able to move again. She jumped to action, and pulled out her key. “Luz,” she said to the girl. “Go back to the human world.” 

She's already helped us, I owe it to her to let her go home safe. 

“What about you guys?” 

King ran over to try to help Eda. “If you think this guy is bad, you shoulda seen her last boyfriend!” 

“Not my boyfriend.” Eda said, grabbing King and jumping out of the way of the warden’s attack. Not in a million years.

Eda, seeing how Luz was still standing there, lifted Luz, forcing her to sit on the staff, ignoring her protests. She may have only just met the human an hour ago, but she feels the instinct to keep her safe. 

“But-but I-” 

“Go, go!” Eda urges, forcing her on and slapping the staff, cuing it to fly. Luz went away on the staff, yelling, out of sight, and hopefully to safety. 

Eda prepared herself when the warden took off his mask to reveal a hideous mouth and spat fire. She drew two spell circles. One to absorb the fire, and one to redirect it back at him, slamming him to the wall. 

Ha! Too much fun! 

However, a few minutes of fighting led to her being knocked to the ground by the warden, King following suit, who she caught in her arms, holding him close. 

“No more running away, Owl Lady. Today I capture you once and for all!” The warden growled, raising his hands. King whimpered, huddling close to Eda, who held on tighter and glared at their attacker. 

“-GO GO GO GO!!!” Luz’s voice yelled. 

Wait, what? I thought she went home! 

Luz flew past her, three former prisoners following suit, tackling the warden to the ground. 

“Luz?” Eda said in disbelief. Did she seriously come back for us? 

Eda stood by and watched as the trio of prisoners got on top of the warden, standing up to him and restraining him. 

“I ate my own eye!”

“I think the world is a triangle!”

“And I practice the ancient art of fanfiction!” 

Incredible! 

The eye demon had tangled the warden’s tentacle-arms together and turned him over, so he was facing Luz. 

“You! Who do you think you are?” He snarled. 

“Do not underestimate me, Warden Wrath, for I am Luz, the human, warrior of peace!” Luz spoke triumphantly. Then she grabbed what looked like a bunch of fireworks tied together. “Now eat this, sucka!” She shouted, using the staff to hit it into the warden’s mouth, effectively blowing it up. 

She had that with her the whole time? Amazing thinking, Luz! 

Eda stood next to Luz, smiling proudly and placing a hand on her shoulder. What a brave kid. I'm impressed. She wanted to say, but didn't out of pride.

“That was actually one of her better breakups.” King joked.

“Not a breakup,” Eda reminded King. “Anyway, let's bounce before any more monsters fall in love with me.” 

Seriously, kid. You were amazing. I really owe you. 

~

“Well, a deal’s a deal, let's get you home.” Eda said, calling forth the key and pushing the button. The door appeared, waiting for Luz to open it and step through. But she stood there, deep in thought. Eda smiled at her, silently thanking her for her help. 

Luz looked at King and stepped forward, kneeling down. “Before I go…” she took out what looked like a tiny plastic head that had a tiny golden crown on it. “I know it's not the same, but…a king shouldn't be without a crown.” She said, giving the demon the crown. 

He took it, placing it on his head. “This shall suffice.” And he pointed to one of the houseplants. “You there, plant! You are now under my command!” 

Eda then gave Luz back her book that she almost burned earlier that day. “Oh, and don't forget this.” Luz seemed to really value that book. 

Luz walked back to the portal door, and Eda and King waited behind her. Eda saw her hold up her book, thinking. Then, she did something Eda did not expect. Luz turned around.

“Okay. I know you got your head cut off, and we started some kind of prison riot, but this was the most fun I've ever had.” She said to the witch and demon. Eda looked at her, shocked. 

What is she saying? Is she going to…

“I don't fit in at home. You don't fit in here. If I stay, we can 'not fit in’ together.” Luz looked at the pamphlet that was on top of the book and stared at it. “I am not going back to summer camp.”

Eda chuckled, confused. “Wha-what's ‘summer camp’? What are we talking about here?” 

She's staying?! Why?

“I wanna stay and become a witch like you! And Azura!” Luz declared happily, holding up her book. 

“What? Alright, that's crazy. Humans can't become witches.” Eda stated, dismissing her. I love the enthusiasm, but why?

But Luz didn't give up. “Maybe that's because they haven't tried!” She insisted. “If you teach me to become a witch, I'll do anything you want.” 

Okay, she's got a point there. And an apprentice? I kinda like the sound of that. 

“Let her stay!” King urged, pulling at the hem of Eda’s dress. “She can make us snacks.” 

Eda smiled and picked up the demon. “Well, I could use a hand keeping this goofball out of the cupboards.” She said. “All right, I'll teach you how to be a witch. But you have to work for me before you learn any spells.” She held out her hand for Luz to shake. “Deal?”

But instead of taking her hand, Luz just went straight in for a tight hug. 

Whoa whoa whoa! “Ugh! What's going on?!” Eda froze in Luz’s hold. 

“Too tight, too tight!” King protested.

~

After Luz relinquished from the hug, Eda told her she could sleep in the attic upstairs. She didn't protest and gladly brought her stuff up. Eda was left there, thinking about what just happened. 

That kid was so brave today. Better than any kid, much less a human kid, I've ever seen. 

She thought about what having a teenager living in her home might be like. She knows it will be messy, and she’ll probably try to stare danger in the face like today. But she's willing to give it a shot. Who could say no to that confidence? 

What Eda didn't know is that since that day, she would witness this human girl's endless wonder and courage. She didn't know the pride she would feel whenever Luz learned a new spell or made new friends. She didn't know that Luz would start to give her a reason to look forward to tomorrow. She didn't know how much she would grow to care for Luz as if she was her own child. 

She didn't know how much she would love this light that lit up her life.

Dear Devraj aur Kajal,

Happy 1st Anniversary to both of you! I’m sure this is the first of many special milestones ahead aur hume itni khushi hai ke tum dono ne ek doosre ko choona. 

Hum jaante hai ke tum dono ki shaadi kis haalat mein hui thi toh shayad invitations ya woh sab nahi hai. Lekin har jodi ke liye yeh ek khaas cheez hoti hai toh humne ek banvaya tha..for memories. 

We love you both very much,

Maa aur Papa

It was a simple gift that was for sure, but it was one that meant a lot to Devraj. To know that his parents -both of them- were giving them this little gift told him that while they might have been shocked by the marriage initially, they were also embracing it and Kajal along with it. “Mom… Dad… Thank you,” he gushed, bending with his wife to touch their feet before hugging them. “This is so special. I’m going to have it framed.” And maybe… Just maybe they could make this invitation a real one. Not having his own immediate family at his wedding was the one downside to the entire affair, but perhaps in a year or so after everyone else was married off they could celebrate properly with an intimate ceremony for their loved ones.

Remembering legendary poet & lyricist Shailendra, on his 94th birth anniversary today.

There was one poet in the golden era of hindi cinema who remained a quintessential lyricist all throughout, who used almost all his literary genius for writing great songs which were poems in themselves and he was second to none. His name was Shankardas Kesarilal Shailendra, for his countless admirers he was simply- Shailendra!

While the constant composition of songs based on the fragile conundrums of love reduced most lyricists to retail merchants of words, Shailendra’s songs always dazzled with their lyrical lustre. In more than 170 films, he wrote warm souled poetry. Like the straight-from-the-heart `Aaja re pardesi", "main toh kab se khadi is paar’, Shailendra’s songs were in simple, yet extremely effective Hindustani.

Barring Naushad and O.P.Nayyar, Shailendra worked with almost all the leading composers of the era. As with Shankar Jaikishan, he also had a special rapport with Sachin Dev Burman for whom he penned such wonderful songs like O jaanewale ho sake to lautke aana (Bandini), Na main dhan chahoon, na ratan chahoon (Kaala bazaar) and Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai (Guide). But then he wrote beautiful lyrics for every composer, that's why we got gems like Toote huye khwabone in Salil Chowdhury's Madhumati, Haaye re woh din kyun na aaye in Pandit Ravishankar's Anuradha and Kuchh aur zamana kaheta hai in Anil Biswas's Chhoti chhoti baatein.

His songs with their rich human values will keep his memories lingering on. Maybe that's what he meant when he wrote these lines in Anari:

Rishta dil se dil ke aitbaar ka, Zinda hain hum hi se naam pyaar ka Ke marke bhi kisi ko yaad aayenge Kisi ke aansuon mein muskurayenge Kahega phool har kali se baar baar Jeena isi ka naam hai!

Last few episodes of Diyar-e-Dil

I had made a few posts earlier when I was three, ten, fifteen, and twenty five episodes into the show. I meant to post this last bit much earlier, but internet ne saath nahi diya. 

Well, the last few episodes were predictable mostly, except for Muizz going total nuts. Like I was still coming around to the idea that he was the master schemer behind swindling Farah and Ruhi, but the writers just shocked me with the whole kidnap, molestation and attempt to murder angle. Like this is what I don’t like about desi serials. They always turn the ‘other guy’ into a total maniac just to emphasize on the heroism of the male lead, and make the audience root for him. In this case too, Wali is nothing short of a hero ‘cos he saved Farah from Muizz (never mind the fact that Wali himself manhandled and kidnapped Farah in the first place). I...why can’t we have some normal third angles? I would have liked it had Muizz remained the good guy he was initially shown to be and he would have backed off on his own accord when he realized that Farah loves Wali. Why the need to villainize a character to prop up the hero?

Which brings me to the next point which is Wali and Farah’s love story. While I appreciated OsMaya chemistry, esp. in the last two-three episodes, the WaFa story didn’t impress me much. I mean, er, why does Farah fall in love with him? Yes, he might have a dozen good qualities but is that enough to fall in love with someone? Well, no point applying my brain so much, most probably its because she loved her father and respected his wishes. Also, I just don’t like love stories which have an element of abuse in their foundation. I don’t think I’ll ever warm up to this love story because of the manner in which Wali took Farah to that resort by force, it just left a bitter aftertaste. 

I was much more satisfied with the rest of the equations in the show. My favorite relationship in this show has to be the Agha Jaan and Farah. It has been given the most deep, meaningful, and heart-touching story, with steady progress. Also, the whole manner in which the issue of consent was handled, and Agha Jaan reassured Farah that he will not insist on her staying with Wali in the Nikkah, I just loved it, the progress this man has made. It just warms my heart. While his sons regressed to emotionally forcing their wishes upon their kids, Agha jaan progressed to understanding that the best way to shower your love, is to set your loved ones free. I’m now officially an Agha Jaan fan <3 

Coming to my most favorite characters, Ruhi and Arjumand. These two are the most realistic characters on the show, who always behaved as I expected them too. The bitterness in Arjumand about what she perceived as Behroze’s rejection, and seeing Ruhi as the root of it, was expressed beautifully in the few scenes that she got. Ruhi ultimately snapping out of her depression to actually, clearly seeing the situation was a relief. Also, the part where Ruhi says that she is so ashamed that she cannot face Agha jaan, and Arjumand, that is so typical of Ruhi. This escapist trait was shown before also, when Ruhi would take sleeping tablets on Behroze’s death anniversary every year, because she could not bear to feel, and just wanted to escape from facing the truth. The best Ruhi scene is when she tells Farah that “Sukoon toh ab mujhe mar kar hi milega.” The fact that she could not be with Behroze on his last night, is something that will always haunt her, and on top of that her attitude towards Agha Jaan and his family for the next 5 years, weighted her down considerably. 

I really liked the scene where Ruhi tore the papers where Agha Jaan willed and divided his property. The fact that Agha jaan reassured her that he always knew that Ruhi is not greedy, because the girl who left her everything to start a new life with Behroze without a penny to his name, can never be greedy; was a scene that I found particularly heartwarming. 

Of course, the last two episodes were light and romantic, but oh my gosh, how conceited is Wali to think that he knew exactly when Farah fell in love with him, and he even went on to tell her that, I mean the gall of the man. Maybe conceited lovers work with some audience, for me I’d rather prefer the shy, insecure ones who don’t take the girl for granted. 

Khair, DeD has to be one of the most emotionally satisfying family dramas that I’ve seen in a long time. The writers, directors, actors, everybody has done a marvelous job, and the show is totally worth all the praise that it gets.

Kevin O’Connor – Host of This Old House

We’re kicking off our interview series with the host of This Old House, Kevin O’Connor. Six years ago Kevin was working in finance but was also an avid DIY homeowner intent on renovating his 1894 Queen Anne. His unlikely ascension to the “dream job” as host of This Old House has become legend. “In Kevin, we found the perfect mixture of optimism and energy, two ingredients an old house owner must have to survive” says Russell Morash, creator of This Old House.

Nominated for an Emmy award in his debut season, Kevin is currently hosting his 7th season of This Old House and Ask This Old House as well as his first season of co-hosting This New House.

C&H: Your casting as the host of This Old House was very serendipitous, can you please share this story? Kevin: It’s a remarkable story and even five years later I’m still surprised by it. My wife and I bought our first house five years ago and it was real fixer-upper. It needed everything, which is just what we wanted. It didn’t take long to get in over our heads though and after several months of working away we emailed This Old House for some advice. It seemed like a logical thing to do since I grew up watching the show and have always been a big fan.

Remarkably This Old House didn’t just respond to the email they came to our house and filmed a small segment for the TV show (for Ask This Old House to be precise). My wife and I were thrilled. I got to meet the crew and Jim Clark, the show’s painting expert and Tom Silva. We all know who he is. After half a day of filming and having a great time the crew left and I thought that was the end of it. I took my picture with the gang, cracked a beer and called some buddies to tell them about my foray into TV. The next day I put my suit back on and returned to my job as a banker.

About three months later, completely out of the blue, a This Old House producer called and asked if “I wanted to help with the show.” I had no idea what that meant and he was cagey about it but I figured I had such a good time when the crew was at my house I had nothing to lose. So I went to the studio for a meeting, then to one of Tommy’s job sites for another meeting. And then just like that they asked me to be host of the two most popular home improvement shows on television.

Bizarre. But I never looked backed.

C&H: How has your life been most impacted by your career change as host of TOH? Besides your DIY IQ going through the roof. Kevin: Day to day it’s just a job. You have to get up, work, travel, work some more and always fight to put out a great product. That weighs on you when you inherit a legacy and don’t want to be the guy to screw it up.

I say that because the biggest impact on my life is how the show has changed my life day to day. It’s a job for sure, but it’s also a great one. This job allows me to be creative, it challenges me, I learn from it every day, and I have great exposure and access to things I care passionately about. And I work with a team that cares passionately about those things as well. This might sound trite but the fame part, the being recognized in public, being asked for your autograph, getting a good table at a restaurant, all of that is fleeting. It quickly becomes background noise. It doesn’t satiate, or fulfill any part of me. Having the opportunity to work and to create is what excites me. And now, thanks to this job, I have that opportunity every day I show up at the office – or the job site as the case may be.

C&H: Do you have a favorite House Project and what did you like most about it? Kevin: I’ll always have a warm spot for my first project, the little barn conversion in Concord, MA. It was simple, elegant, and thrilling to do since it was my first. But my favorite of all time is the Carlisle project which we did the next year and was in celebration of our 25th anniversary. The project was huge. There were three buildings involved; we renovated one, completely rebuilt another, and converted a third from a working barn to a magnificent living space.

I loved the scope, the challenge, the fact that we spent longer than usual on the project (a full season of 26 episodes rather than the usual 18), which allowed us to dig deeper into the stories. And I loved the fact that we owned it, and weren’t working for a homeowner with a real life budget. Owning the property allowed us to build our dream house with all the bells and whistles, which makes for great TV but is also a lot of fun.

I’ve worked on six projects since and Carlisle is still my favorite.

C&H: How are things coming along in New Orleans? What is TOH’s philosophy towards the rebuilding of N.O.? Kevin: The New Orleans project is tough. There’s a labor shortage, problems with infrastructure, and everything seems to take longer in NOLA. We’ll get our project done but not without some incredibly hard work from our producer who is making miracles happen every day. And of course the craftsmen doing the work are the ones making it possible. When we do a project out of state we rely on our local team for everything.

Our philosophy? I’m not sure we have a company philosophy on New Orleans. It’s a good project and a great story. That’s all that matters.

That said I’m sure everyone on the crew has their own opinion of the project and the significance of being in New Orleans. Personally, I don’t get caught up in the politics and shouting about what should and what shouldn’t get rebuilt. When I met the homeowner and heard her story I was on board. She grew up in the neighborhood. She bought the home and spent a year fixing it up with friends while living in it.

Then she took on six feet of flood water after the levies brook and all her work was destroyed. She spent two years fighting to get back into her house, raising money, and putting a plan together to rebuild. Now, she has the help of This Old House and we’ll make sure her new house respects the historic nature of the original structure and her neighborhood. And along the way we’ll tell stories about individuals rebuilding their houses and teach people about New Orleans architecture and building styles. I’m on board for that.

C&H: What is your take on the growth of online DIY sites especially independent publishers such as ourselves or Houseblogs.net? Do you ever refer to any particular online resources besides ThisOldHouse.com? Kevin: The growth in DIY is remarkable. On the one hand I love it because I think it’s vindication for all of us house lovers and do-it-yourselfers. There are a lot of great shows and web sites out there that never existed and that’s great.

On the other hand there’s a lot of crap out there too. I can think of a dozen shows and web sites that wouldn’t hold my interest for a nanosecond.

C&H: How close are you with the other guys and is there anything you can share about them that the TV viewers don’t know (not too embarrassing of course). Kevin: The five guys are tight and I’m honored that they let me into their little family. They’ve all been together for 20+ years and I’m still the new guy. But despite that they made me part of the team from day one and now we’re tight friends.

Remarkably there aren’t any great secrets or revealing tidbits to share because each one of the guys is as down to earth and as regular as they come across on TV. Honestly, what you see is what you get, and I love that. After all this time and all this exposure each one of them is unchanged, approachable, humble, and dedicated to their craft, and I don’t mean just the craft of making TV. I mean their crafts of carpentry, plumbing, landscaping, etc. They are great role models as well as friends.

C&H: Can you share any particular remodeling/renovating trends you are seeing and which have the most relevance? Kevin: The single biggest trend in renovation right now is “green”, however you define it. It’s as if we’re in at perfect storm of consequences. People are aware of rising fuel prices, global warming, the resources our homes consumer and the impact that consumption has on the environment. That may seem like a predictable answer but it’s a revolution, for sure.

C&H: What will it take for the green building movement to become more widely accepted? Kevin: Instead of the practitioners pushing these ideas now the consumer is now pulling them, and I think that is a much more powerful force. And the field is only in its infancy. I think it’s impossible to predict what forms, technologies, or conventions will emerge as winners. But I will predict the movement is here to stay. The American consumer is a powerful force.

C&H: What stamp do you feel you’ve put on the show that may be different from your predecessors? Kevin: Approachability. The job of the host is to ask questions and to get great information out of the craftsmen who have spent a lifetime accumulating it. It’s not to become an expert on everything myself. That would just be bad, fake TV.

I have great respect for the guys I work with and I hope that comes though to the viewer. Despite our friendship and closeness I still know they are the real pros and I try to get as many great lessons from them and then get out of the way.

C&H: How is your own Victorian fixer-upper coming along? Kevin: Slowly. But we’re getting there. My wife and I have been working on it for five years and in a few months we’ll be done with Phase One, which is most of the necessary improvements. We’ve redone the kitchen, two bathrooms, turned an unfinished attic into three bedrooms and a bath, rebuilt the porch, an office, a playroom and a laundry room. We replaced the heating system, most of the electric and plumbing, and a lot of the old plaster. We reconditioned all the windows and tackled the landscaping. And we spent twenty grand to have the place painted. I’m getting hives just writing this.

It’s been and continues to be a great learning experience and rewarding. It informs my performance on the show, makes me a better interviewer and gives me a better respect for the real craftsmanship that we show on This Old House.

It also has been and continues to be hard and frustrating. There have been weekends when I’ve wanted to reach for my checkbook and pay to have it finished so I could play with my three year old son or spend more time with my wife – not discussing the house. But I’m committed to finishing. Hopefully that will be soon.

C&H: What are your interests outside of Home Improvement? Kevin: Would you believe finance? I love it and miss it sometimes. I used to be a corporate banker and loved working with clients and helping them with their capital structures and putting together deals. I was a deal junky and still read the Wall Street Journal everyday. It’s almost like the sports page to me. O.k. that was weird.

I also like golf and try to play as much as I can, which isn’t enough. And I love being at the beach with my family, both immediate and extended. We’re a beach clan and any activity within a whiff of salt air is fine with me.

And travel. I’ve been to about twenty countries in my life and would life to get to another twenty. Right now it’s hard with a little child at home but eventually we’ll get back on the road. Russia and China are high on my list.

C&H: Can you share your most important DIY tip? Learned before or during your time with TOH. Kevin: It will take longer and cost more than you think. It will cost more and take longer than you think. How else can I say it? Remember that, adjust your expectations, and you’ll be fine.

C&H: Well said, Thanks Kevin. This spring you can watch Kevin and the rest of the This Old House crew as they rebuild an 1892 New Orleans home of a fourth-generation Lower Ninth Ward resident, that was damaged by hurricane Katrina. photo courtesy of This Old House and Tracey Powell

CH 3-KISS OR IS IT KISSES………!!!!!

He-“Will you come?”

She-“Lets see I have to lie again at home”

He-“Hey its okay,no need to come its already 6:30pm and so cold outside, n plus i hate when you lie to your folks”  he replied, n started thinking what he will do now? n started gazing at d sky with grayish  clouds with a tint of orange in it.

As sun was about to set the view from the terrace he was in, was just mesmerizing!

He was thinking that he would have told her the truth that he was actually missing her a lot from the morning and y not? it was 7th Jan the day when he actually purposed her  one year ago,he was so happy and thanking god that its so magical that they were still together,he actually never thought that he would be completing one year together but he did and from his heart he was overjoyed.

Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted with a scream HI!

he actually got scared as he was so busy gazing at the sky and with his thoughts and almost forgot that he was on terrace of someone else house,where anyone can come but all those things came rushing down to him when he heard that loud HI!

It was her,who else can it be!

She started laughing after seeing his scared face! she wanted to give him surprise as she was not at home she was out this whole time n had kept him waiting just to surprise him, but she cared for him too, so she came to him and said “SORRY…..i didn’t meant to scare you!” n there it was again the tilt of her head when she says sorry! they have discussed it last night over the text!

So he cant help himself but said you know you look so cute when you do that! n she replied “Aachaa?” and he said “yes” with a wink!

In no time she got to her senses n said we cant be here,as i think people have seen me coming to the terrace!

WHAT? was all he could say at  that moment!

so he grabbed her hand firmly and said walking towards the gate “We need to go, you don’t know what can happen if people saw us together here”

She calmly replied “okay”

so they went for there long stroll talking about random stuff.He was trying hard to make poor jokes as he always did and she was as always pain in the ass for him, but he loves that about her, for him whoever challenges him, was a point for him to prove himself n she was  just perfect in challenging to his non sense jokes, his sense of style,his taste in music and dance, etc etc she was just impossible but she was perfect for him n he knows it very well!

After the stroll was over they found themselves sitting at d park with  him trying different position to rest his head on her lap! (it was real trouble my god no comments on that)

after 2 or 3 efforts he finally decided to quit as every-time he end up in an awkward  position.

After that he checked the time n he was sad it was 7:30, time for each of them to go to their homes, he quickly hold her hand and said I LOVE YOU!

she didn’t say anything and started touching his face,it was d first time she have ever done anything like that! he was surprised too in a awkward way when her hands were on his cheeks.

He said “ermm…..what are you doing” quickly she realized what she was doing and suddenly she took her hand off his face, she was nervous he saw that as always, so he said “maybe we should go”, she replied “yeah maybe”

And they started walking towards the exit gate of the park.

That walk was the hardest walk for him, As he wanted to do that but the shades of past was haunting him where he have tried to kiss her n she trusted him n then when he went for her lips she was shocked and panicked!

So he was scared too,should he do it or not,what will she think, will that be okay with her now after one year!

finally they reached the exit gate and was about to go in opposite directions, when he held her hand and pulled her towards him there was silence in that cold winter evening but they were hearing the sound of each other breath it was fast,they were holding each others hand it was hot.

He finally couldn’t help it and said “Can I? ” she didn’t reply to it instead she closed her eyes.

and that’s how they kissed each other for the very first time.

ON THERE WAY BACK HOME

He-“you r a good kisser”

She-“Really? how did you know,how many girls have you kissed before”

He-“it was my first,its just that it felt perfect that’s y”

She”okay :)”

He”so how many years?”

She”what?”

He”i have read somewhere that when a couple kiss the girl knows at that instant,for how long their relationship will last”

She “oh i c, Aisa toh kuch nahi hua”

He “okay maybe next time we do it tab hoga”

She “SHUT UP”

He “reached bbye”

She “bye n happy anniversary again”

He :)

Pra Sīvalī

Pra Sīvalī is a Buddhist arahant or arhat widely venerated among Theravada Buddhists. He is the guardian saint of travel and is believed to ward off misfortune at home, such as fire or theft. His veneration predates the introduction of Theravada Buddhism into present-day Myanmar (Burma). Shin Thiwali is typically depicted standing upright and carrying a walking staff, an alms bowl and prayer beads.Born to Queen Suppavasa, Shin Thiwali is believed to have remained in his mother’s womb for seven years because of past karma.After a week in labor, Sīvalī’s mother gave birth to a precocious boy who could immediately speak. Thereafter, Buddha’s chief disciple Sariputra admitted Sīvalī into the Sangha. The Burmese believe that he is still living, that he can be invoked to come by a special incantation and that his mere invisible presence will bring them prosperity and good fortune

……………………………………………………..

The objects that Pra Sivali is holding have auspicious meanings.

“Pra Sivali amulet is a wish of “Wherever you go, success, wealth & prosperity, good luck, happiness will be waiting for you there!”

- A walking stick means having many high profile people to support and assist you.

- A Klot, a long-handles umbrella with mosquito net means having happy and peaceful life. Thais also believe that Klot provides protection of all perils, disaster, danger, misfortune, and bad spirits beyond existing limits.

- An alms bowl means having endless food with wealth and prosperity.

- A cloth bag means having plenty of 4 basic necessities of life.

- A string of rosary means having silver and gold beads (wealth fetching).

Yant U or Yant Unalome

Yant U or Yant Unalome, unalome cabalistic writing represents the path to enlightenment in the Buddhist culture. The spirals are meant to symbolize the twists and turns in life, and the straight lines the moment one reaches enlightenment or peace and harmony. The dots at the end of the symbol represent death, or the moment we fade to nothing.

……………………………………………………..

Yant Na Cha Li Ti

The Na Cha Li Ti cabalistic writing is a Khata (prayer) of “Huajai Pra Sivali” in Thai means “the Heart of Pra Sivali Prayer”, and Na Cha Li Ti is a short form of “Nachaliti Chalitina Littinacha Tinachali”, a prayer that brings wealth & prosperity, stable income, success in business, and new business opportunities.
