I’ve seen people talk about the main theme of the owl house being acceptance, and I think they’re completely right about that. But I haven’t really seen anyone look at the sub themes depicted in the show around the acceptance theme.

Specifically how the owl house is really advocating for child autonomy. Specifically in the ways of discipline, showing that communicating and talking with children ends up being a lot more beneficial and effective than punishing them.

The most obvious example comes with the collector, where instead of talking to him, King’s dad punished the kid by putting him in essentially time out, for the actions of his siblings. Which he would’ve learned if he had talked to the collector. And then following that, every interaction before talking with Luz, has the collector being used or placated in some way instead of being treated like an actual child due to the amount of power he has. The titan trappers revering him as some sort of god, Belos manipulating him, and even king attempting to appease the collector, instead of really talking to him. Though for king it’s a bit more understandable. Even so, the show showcases the collector’s change only after he’s talked to like a person, and then shown why his views were wrong.

Luz, who’s the main focus of the show, has her character arc and journey centered around being punished for her not fitting in at school. And while, yes, some of Luz’s antics that were shown seemed to be legitimately dangerous, the real solution would’ve been to talk with her and teach her about safety and why bringing wild animals and fireworks into a school building is dangerous. It should have also been that Luz should be able to talk and negotiate with her teacher about what would be acceptable for her projects with her endless creativity. The solution was not to essentially punish Luz for being creative, and what that only did was make her feel worse about herself and more isolated from the people she thought would be on her side. And then we were shown in thanks to them and for the future, Camilla’s growth into understanding that not talking to Luz about this, and essentially forcing her into normality, was not the way to go about things.

And we see this theme again, with Willow forced into the abomination track because her parent’s thought that was what was best for her, until she was able to showcase her skills and switch to what she was actually good at. Alador realizing he missed a lot of Amity’s growth by not talking to her, and then making it up to Amity by letting her set the boundaries and reestablishing their relationship. Odalia being controlling and not listening to her children which lead to actively harming their social development, until she was confronted and then shut out. Belos manipulating Hunter, isolating him, and abusing him, not even listening to what he had to say. And all of these situations were made better and more bearable when they were given the chance to take charge and be heard.

All this, in an attempt to showcase that children can be vulnerable and malleable, but they are also smart and understanding. And instead of deciding what a child needs, it’s important to communicate with the child instead, asking what they need and listening to what they’re saying. And implementing that by guiding and supporting them, not attempting to control them to what someone else thinks is right.

Children are smart and observant, they just need to be taught how to communicate, and viewed and thought of as actual human beings.

In a way, the owl house is attempting to advocate for it’s audience, and that’s beautiful.

Dadrius is a bit emotional and Hunter’s worried page 2

I like the idea of Darius changing ‘Little Prince’ to ‘Little Pup’

Did I start with pg 2? Yes XD Can’t wait to draw Eberwolf in page 1

(I feel like the parents (and kids) are going to have nightmares sometimes down the line and I want sweet comfort/healing feels)

The more I think about it, the more I think the ending The Collector got was the best they’d get. I mean, it’s very easy and very true to say, “he’s a child!! He needs someone to watch over him”, but it’s also important to note that he’s a god. A straight up, insanely powerful, immortal, god.

Yes they are changing, and yes they worked hard to help fix the damage Belos and them did. But, like, he wouldn’t be safe on the isles. Yes our main characters seem to largely forgive him, because they understand that he didn’t really get what he was doing, and clearly feels bad and wants to help. But there’s an entire populace they victimized and who will inevitably hold trauma and hostility towards this kid. They don’t need that, especially in the beginning of their development.

What The Collector needs is to explore new life, new mortals, learn from them on a fresh slate, grow to understand themselves and the world around them. They aren’t alone, they can visit any time, hell, they’ve been asked to visit, and they have François with them to keep them company while they’re away.

When you consider his, presumably, slow aging process, how long he’s been alive already, and how that factors into his life and how he processes it, he really isn’t gone long at all. When king said “The Collector was in the area”, he says it with a familiarity that makes it seem like this isn’t a super rare occurrence.

It kinda feels like a kid playing outside all day and coming home to eat and sleep, only to to it again the next day, because they like playing and learning and exploring outside, and they don’t want to accidentally make a mess in the house. If that makes sense?

My point is that, yes he is a child, and that’s incredibly important to note, but he is also a god, and that is equally important to note, and is integral to understanding them and their story.

[monochromatic-ahhhh]

can't stop thinking about Titan Dad Watching his son grow up and maybe Dreaming what it'd be like to play catch with him

[corey-bucks]

Huntlow kiss doodle for the soul because IT SHOULD'VE HAPPENED

Literally if they had kissed while greeting eachother in the future segment it would've been so adorable and perfect 😭

[purplehalnw]

I saw someone say "you cannot appeal to the sympathy of those who actively want you dead. The only proper response to violent oppression is equally violent resistance".

And tbh this sort of thing is what the writers should've had King's dad say to Luz in order to convince her that there was no saving Belos. But instead the writers decided to act like Belos didn't actually believe he was doing good by killing witches and that he only cared about power and was just plain evil which contradicts literally everything they've showed us in the show thus far.
