#toh Second Chances AU

[muzarry]

Here's something I'm working on, a full length comic about my owl house AU! So far I only have some references and the logo, but the plot is slowly cooking 👀

[kafeino]

Darius based on @muzarry’s Second Chances-AU.

I love his hair so much.

[bangoose]

Belos fnaf custom night au (well not really but you get the concept)

If theres an afterlife for this asshole, its an infinite limbo of the sins of his actions. I want him to be haunted by all the people he broke, the past he left behind him. I want him to realise how badly he's lost- what could have happen if he just set his hatred aside.

Then again I also have another au in mind where Belos gets turned back into kid Phil and has to go through a purgatory of his memories all over again

But I feel like Belos is way to stubborn to see himself in the wrong, mans forever in the delusion that he's a hero so- burn in whatever is waiting after you on the other side

[quadrantadvisor]

My TOH time travel au is like. The Collector never stopped the draining spell. Hunter escaped its influence by going to the Human Realm, but when they finally return, everyone else is gone. Goop Belos is at large, King never learned to get along with the Collector because he was busy grieving, The Boiling Isles are in chaos.

Some shit goes down, the group gets separated, and King ends up with Luz and Hunter. In a moment of final desperation, he connects with his dad, and they use their titan magic to send Hunter and Luz back in time, not in a predetermined time loop, like the time pools, but basically creating a new universe where they have the power to change things. It takes so much energy that to accomplish it, both titans have to give up their life force (a la Rise!TMNT movie).

Hunter and Luz are now a few months in the past. In their timeline, practically everyone they know died, and their little brother just gave his life to give them a second chance. They are traumatized and codependant and DESPERATE to stop the day of unity.

From everyone else's perspective, two masked criminals suddenly appeared in The Boiling Isles. They strike hard and fast, and no one knows what they look like or what they're trying to accomplish. They use stange magic no one's ever seen before, and the Emperor's Coven can't keep up with them.

One of their first criminal acts? Kidnapping the Golden Guard.

(They couldn't just leave him there.)

[stelladoesstuff]

Heard you're accepting requests for TOH fics! Could you do one based on this AU?

Prompt: Hunter attempts to escape from Empress Luz's castle, but is caught by the Coven Heads. (Coven Heads in general [they're not mind-controlled unlike the rest of the servants btw] Willow - Plant Coven Amity - Abomination and Empress Coven Gus - Illusion Coven Boscha - Potions Coven Skara - Bard Coven)

This is such a cool AU concept istg- idk why I'm always drawn to the villain AUs XD

Anywho- a little thing inspired by this!

Every step had to be silent. His heart felt like it was pounding out of his chest. This was absolutely the most insane thing he’d ever done. Hunter had done a lot over the years on missions for Belos, and then for the… Empress, but somehow none of them were quite as nerve wracking as what he was about to do.

He’d planned it all for weeks now. Plotted out every hallway he’d have to take, every corner he’d turn, every single step that would be necessary to get out of the castle undetected. He’d had Flapjack scour the halls to learn the exact times of guard rotations. They were always perfectly on time with rotations ever since the control glyphs had been enforced. Empress Luz enforced complete and total efficiency.

Midnight hit.

Showtime.

Hunter ducked into a closet he’d ensured would be empty, back pressed against the door as he closed his eyes, listening for the footsteps that would be coming down the hall any second now. He could hear them. The unnaturally synchronized clacking of boots against the tiled castle floor. He held his breath as the footsteps passed by, staying as silent as possible.

They passed.

Five seconds. Ten seconds, fifteen… seventeen.

On eighteen, the guards rounded the corner. He opened the door and ran down the hall, years of Golden Guard training keeping his footsteps near silent as he did so. The window was right there at the end of the hall. He’d chosen this window for his escape specifically as it was, according to Flapjack’s scouting, the furthest distance from any guard stations at any one time while still putting him relatively close to the forest. Which gave him the best chance of hopping out, mounting his staff, and flying as fast as he could to lose whoever spotted him in the trees.

He reached the window, glancing for a moment back down the hall. Empty. And the hall around the corner. Empty too.

This was it. There wasn’t any time left to waste.

His heart was pounding in his chest as he held his hand out, Flapjack shifting into staff-form as he opened the window and lept onto his staff-

And promptly got yanked down to the ground by a giant vine.

Shit.

He hit the ground with a soft thud. He’d been pulled down into a part of shrubbery lining the outside of the castle, obscured behind it. The impact wasn’t enough to knock the air out of him, but it didn’t really matter. Panic shot through him nonetheless, and he immediately tried to scramble backwards when he heard someone make a shushing sound, and a vine slapped over his mouth. Eyes wide, he frantically looked up at his captor…

Coven Head Willow. Of the Plant Coven. Shit, he was so screwed-

“Don’t panic!” She whispered, and Hunter just kind of stared at her incredulously. Though, as he did, he realized she was also crouching down. Almost… hiding. She turned and made a gesture behind her, and that’s when he realized someone else was there too. The Illusion Coven Head. Hunter didn’t remember his name, but he casted some sort of illusion spell… and then Hunter spotted movement above him. He looked up, and glimpsed an image of… himself. On his staff. Flying off towards the woods like he would have if he hadn’t been dragged down.

And before he could even begin to internally question why this was happening… both Coven Head Amity and Coven Head Boscha emerged out of seemingly nowhere to give chase towards the illusionary Hunter. His eyes widened.

They’d known. Somehow, they’d known what he’d tried to do. It had been a trap.

But then…

He looked back at Willow with panicked confusion. She cleared her throat, waving her hand in the air so that the vine covering his mouth snaked back into the ground, and then… she gave a small smile.

“...welcome to the rebellion, Golden Guard.”

my 2023.

yearly retrospective time LETZ GO!!!

last year i said 2022 sucked but uh,, 2023 was definitely worse :'o)

with the rise in queerphobic legistlation, school getting progressively harder to stay on track with, my dad dying, and just everything else that ive had to endure this year, its been difficult. but.. i somehow made it.

and you might be wondering how i got through everything. did i touch grass and magically everything was sunshine and rainbows? buy some overpriced self help book or online course that changed my life? No <3

i just,, did what i normally do. i played video games, talked with my friends, watched youtube, brainrotted over fandoms, listened to music, came up with cool outfits, somehow made it through skool, drew, wrote, cosplayed, roleplayed, made kandi and crafts, and just overall found ways to find joy in the small things, which goes a long way when youre trans in a world where your joy is an act of rebellion.

i also had some cool fandom moments this year! season 7 of siivagunner has been AWESOME, return to dream land deluxe was great even if it fricked with the lore a little, THE TOH FINALE WAS SO FRICKIN GOOD, marios madness may be my new fave fnf mod, NPMD THREW ME BACK INTO MY HATCHETFIELD FIXATION, i FINALLY got the kirby planet robobot soundtrack cd and the limited edition quiznos training game physical edition, i found ways to actually enjoy WDY again and leave behind itz toxic fandom, i got into pokepasta, tintn, gogos crazy bones, playtime with percy, inside job, tadc, i started listening to mal blum and against me and chonny jash, im currently being dragged into eggotama as we speak and im getting back into mpdsap,,

but the fandom that had the most impact for me this year was the june archive and restoration project. getting into TJA led me to discover bowlbys other works and get into one of the best fandoms ive ever been in, thanks in part to the june archive and restoration project fanserver. ive met so many cool people through that server, and getting to chat and VC with them has always been a blast. [yknow what? shoutout to all my friends that ive loved talking with all throughout 2023 yall are awesome]

back to life stuff for a moment here, i got to do a lotta cool stuff this year! i FINALLY homebrewed my 3ds [with a bit of help from jaco xd], GOT TO SEE THE HAUNTING OF NIGHT VALE LIVE, put together some awesome cosplays for gencon and halloween, im getting better at rhythm games, i got SECOND PLACE in my skoolz national cybersecurity codebreakers competition, i had an awesome bday, i went to go see barbie [my first movie in theaters since lockdown] and fnaf and both were AWESOME!! all of this despite everything thats happened in 2023!

and as for my creative projectz,, DIGIVERSE REBOOT EPISODE 3 FINALLY RELEASED BACK IN MAY!!!!!! holy frick i was SO PROUD of that,, in addition, ive been doing character reveals for gamerz epic megamix take, i created the doomed timelines awoken au, and ive strengthened my artstyle into what it is today while learning how to use my drawing tablet :3

in addition, getting into TJA and watching bowlbys animation legacy made me think about my past as a creator, and i started work on giving my old book ocs from my days in the TWOW fandom the care and attention they deserve, even if it means some slight redesigns or rewrites. speaking of TWOW, EWOW IS OUT AND IM GETTING BACK INTO TWOW AFTER YEARS!! feelz good to be back, and im hoping i can maybe properly host a minitwow at some point in 2024!

overall 2023 wasnt great, but i stayed silly and had fun despite it and i think thatz very swag of me!

now, every time i do one of these things, if i do an overconfident "bring it on" type message at the end i almost always end up regretting it, AND i am absolutely terrified about 2024 so i am not taking my chances!

so i leave u with this sentiment towards 2024 instead:

i gotta survive The Horrors anyway, might as well stay silly and do what i like while im doing it :3

Her given name used to be Linida, and she used to be Phoenix's girfriend-but she's found out that after all this time he's with someone new, and she's trying to process this, and what she should do now. She is also a mother/Partner to Void-who has now somehow changed from a small innocent child to...a Jax-like Pomni, causing her to try to find a way to change her back, but recently it seems that their universe has vanished.... She has a daughter named Lily-who used to be hers, but she's not sure now-who somehow came back to life and she can't find as well. She goes by she/her, but I doubt she even knows what gender really is. She talks without symbols. By this point, she can't find anyone, and she's worried she might have no one left, in a way.

For the fanfic ask game!! (hi friend :3 )

5 (How many wips do you have? What fandoms are they for?)

17 (Do you have a writing routine?)

29 (What's something about your writing that you're proud of?)

35 (What's your favorite fic you've posted?)

43 (Is there a trope or idea that you'd really like to write but haven't yet?)

hello friend! :D

5. How many wips do you have?  What fandoms/pairings are they for?

ough this is. a difficult one. if u mean currently working on then just two: weekend at belos (owl house) and a shera fic ive been working on and off for years now i have entirely plotted but never finished due to various other hyperfixations. ive never posted it cause i didnt wanna leave it on months long hiatus but honestly idk if ill ever finish it

unfinished wips,,,,, uuhhhh i have a LOT of half finished atla fics (mostly zuko/zuko & aang centric)and a few TOH fics i never finished. sorry but i will never finish you

17. Do you have a writing routine?

not really! i just write whenever i feel motivated and whenever i get a chance to, although i always listen to music when i write! i try to listen to music thats similar vibe to what im writing cause if a sad song comes on when im writing silly fic the scene im writing takes a weird tone shift and suddenly gets sadder and then i have to edit it later. sometimes i fail to edit it and it shows when u read my fics :/

35. What’s your favorite fic you’ve posted?

i have two once again! weekend at belos cause like. ive written silly fic before but this one is like. major step up from identity fraud my first fic ever. this ones way better and im a lot happier with it. second favorite fic is pretty girl, my shera fic. theres a few sections i dislike about it looking back now but i still love it

43. Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

uhhhh hm. not really? i have a lot of toh aus but idk if ill write fics for any more of them. like ive started writing stuff but just dont finish/post it so. honestly idk what im gonna write once im done with weekend at belos i might just take a break! i went off topic but tldr not really no, have plenty of ideas but not any i really really wanna write

[petitprincess1]

Do you have any other toh Aus other than the Bodyless belos?

Not entirely. I mean, I have like one or two ideas. One of which isn't really an AU, it's just a thought for the early concept of TOH being set in Hell. The other one is....idek lol x3

~~~

First idea: For the Beta TOH, I was just wondering how Phlip-Phlop got there. So, I figured that maybe the whole thing of Caleb loving a "witch" does happen, but instead it's with them all being human. Philip wanted to "save" his brother by luring the woman away and killing her. Long story short, she ends up faking as if she died and uses this to get the jump on him. She basically ends up killing with the dagger that he had used to kill other "witches", giving him the scarring that he has in canon. Just more...you know...fleshy than cursed.

I also figured that the way he kills Caleb in there is by finding a way to bring his brother down to Hell. However, being a living soul (a good one at that), he pretty much is driven mad by the horrors of Hell and takes his own life, especially knowing Philip didn't have plans to send him back. Of course, this causes Philip to grieve and basically go insane from the grief.

I guess I can go more into detail if you're interested.

Second idea: Pretty much is kinda half-baked. It pretty much centers around a Human AU, but Belos still has his magic and curse and all that. (Second Chance AU? I guess?) Everyone there is human and there's still is like magical artifacts in Gravesfield, but witches and other beings of that nature aren't meant to exist. That's until Belos comes in and probably is found by Luz (16 in this AU), who tries to help him get back home. While also learning about magic, especially since this kicks in her dormant Azura fixation.

While he has magic, it's not nearly as powerful as it was on the Isles, which is why he needs those magical artifacts to "feed" onto (kinda like with Vee). Except he don't eat the artifacts, he can basically use his artificial magic to absorb it into the staff and himself, since he's still cursed.

Also, Caleb is the mayor of Gravesfield in this AU. He also is the one to strike the fatal blow and kills Philip. He becomes obsessed and starts researching as much as he can to bring him back, even making a deal with the Collector (a small magical artifact that he keeps as a necklace) to just make a small rearrangement to the cosmos and reality to stop the event from happening while ignoring the repercussions this could cause. Don't worry, he's fine ^w^

Also, Hunter (18) doesn't the best relationship with Caleb, who is his biological father. He isn't abusive to Hunter, but he has become more and more distant with him over the years as he became focused on his "project".

~~~

Yeah, that's pretty much all I got. Idek if they're good ideas. They're just there I suppose xP

[muzarry]

Thinking

[stellocchia]

Oh boy, here we go, I'm not holding back with these two, because I'm obsessed:

I think the first time Color met Nightmare was before any Killers. He met him and realized he was a suffering soul and he figured he would offer a chat and whatever help he could. Nightmare told him in excruciating detail how he massacred his AU and then asked if he still wanted to help. Back then, Color didn't have an answer.

The second time they met, Color once again tried to help him. This time, a Killer was involved. The first one. Color accompanied him to Nightmare with the full intention of repeating his offer of help and answering that yes, he still believed that Nightmare deserved help and that his past didn't matter this time as an answer.

Unfortunately, Nightmare took his last silence as a denial and he doesn't deal well with being told "no". Especially because it felt like the same kind of rejection he received from the villagers in his AU.

The second encounter ends with a pile of dust and Color feeling more disillusioned than ever, while Nightmare feels validated in his cynicism.

Their encounters continue over the years.

Color is still willing to offer, though his priority shifts from helping Nightmare to getting his henchmen away from him. But still, after everything, after he's succeeded in saving those that Nightmare was hurting, he goes up to him alone and makes the same offer yet again. And Nightmare gives a detailed description of everything he's done to those Color cares about. And then he asks him if he still wants to help him. And Color says yes.

It's not that easy, of course. Nightmare doesn't believe him, and Color is far from the level of naivete he had when he pushed the first Killer to talk things through with his Boss. They circle around each other for a while. With Nightmare wanting to prove that Color is gonna give up eventually and Color walking on eggshells constantly, trying to balance altruism and self-preservation.

Nightmare pulls a lot of underhanded shit. He uses all of Color's traumas against him. He shapeshift into that first Killer sometimes just to play mind games. He's generally awful. And I don't think he'd stop until Color actually breaks and admits he's probably not the right person to help him. That, while he deserves help, he cannot go on like this. That he has to think of himself at some point.

I think finally realizing that that kindness and willingness to help was there all along and that he's just ruining all his chances at having anything good yet again is the type of wake-up call Nightmare needs. And I think that Color needs to realize at some point that he has limits and that he can't just shoulder everyone's problems forever. He's gonna break under it all.

Perhaps after Nightmare has had some proper therapy and has worked on himself they can meet up. Realistically though, it would probably only hurt Color and trigger all his traumas, so maybe it's better they remain as just familiar strangers, only glancing at each other from afar. Color can still be proud of Nightmare's progress, but, you know, perhaps their involvement with one another could end there.

Basically, to me their relationship kinda has the vibes of the Collector and Belos in this scene (and poor Killer #1 ends up like Luz). (Spoilers for TOH finale btw).

you know what? does anyone have any color and nightmare headcanons (ship, interactions, dynamic idc just we need more of content of them interacting)

[angxliquel]

The Main Four

The Main Four are all friends in this AU. In middle school, they were assigned as a group in RLA Class to do a dystopian free style story. Surprisingly, they chose to do theirs on a Zombie Apocalypse. Ironic. Ever since then, they've been friends. I like to think they all didn't like each other in the beginning because of how different they all are, but slowly grew together. Oh, Quint and Jack were friends before that though.

Individual Headcannons:

Jack

- He's still an Orphan lol. He moved to Wakefield in sixth grade and hasn't been shipped off anywhere since. Is it because he has loving parents now? No. They're just those type of people who are so busy that they forget they adopted him. He's mostly home alone while they're on business trips.

- Evie is his adoptive older sister. Idk about you guys, but they definitely have some younger brother- annoying older sister dynamic going on. They have different last names because 🤷

- He's in the NewsPaper club. And in this Au, he joined because he actually likes Photography and just thought it would be neat.

- Trans ftm. Also Bisexual.

- They use his Tree House as a Hangout. They have sleepovers every once in a while. Jack doesn't really like the sleeping part though, and it maybe because he's known to be prone to nightmares.

- Worries that his friends might not like him sometimes. He's been through a lot

- He takes French. Only French taker of the group. Quint already knows it, June takes Spanish because she just wants an easy A, and Dirk also takes Spanish.

Quint

- President of the Robotics club. And the chess club. And the science club. Somebody give him a break.

- Helps everyone with their homework. Also tutors.

- He wears his lab coat to school sometimes.

- He can draw. Really good actually. He claims it's because a good scientist knows how to document information is multiple forms, but it's really because he just likes drawing.

- When Evies using the treehouse, they'll all go to Quint's house since his parents are on vacation. They use this as a second option because every time they go there, they end up breaking SOMETHING

- The sensible one in the group. The other 3 will be talking about doing something dumb on the gc they have, and Quint will be like: " Guys please no you're gonna end up going to jail or dead."

- Dirk DID bully him in Middle School, but they've been mending their relationship and are actually really good friends now.

- Helps Jack with his French. He takes German because that's the language he isn't nearly fluent in yet.

June

- President of the NewsPaper Club. Constantly has to remind Jack to turn in his pictures for the Monthly Newspaper

- She still does sports. One of the bigger one's is fencing. ( Y'know, since in the first three books her weapon was a spear.)

- In Middle School, she was one of the Top Students. Think of like Amity from TOH. She was taught to be the best. She's learned a lot though, and she's loosened up.

- Knows how to Rollerskate. Like way too well. To the point that's how she gets to school. Probably wouldn't even get a car if she was able too.

- Bisexual

- Had a goth phase. 100% had a goth phase. If you mention it you'll leave with a few bruises.

- She actually likes to write stories. Her writing skills are really good and the class she does best in is RLA

- Still calls Jack " Sullivan." He'll call her " Del Toro" too in response. Won't admit this, but she MIGHT like him. might. very little chance though. ( she does.)

- She likes to collect stuff. Like really random stuff.

- She's in the Spanish AP class

Dirk

- Has a knack for things like Home ED. Surprisingly, he's also on the Football Team.

- Isn't a bully anymore. Nobody in the school really brings it up

- the second most sensible in the group. Quint will be telling them not to do something dumb and Dirk will say: " Yeah, what Quint says." He has to stop Jack and June from doing dumb stuff when Quint isn't around. He's kinda like an older brother to them all.

- He's a good cook. A really good cook.

- Has to wear reading glasses

- Would 100% be the one to drive them to school if they could drive

- He'll sometimes help out the Newspaper Club. Jack tries to convince him to join but Dirks like: " nah."

- Western and Horror Movie Fanatic.

- Quint has to tutor him the most, but he's trying. His grades are slowly getting better and better.

- His Daddy issues are slowly creeping up on him

- He and June have a bond over collecting stuff.

And thats it for now lol. Currently waiting on my Ao3 account thing to get approved, but once it does ya'll are done for. Ik this is like super long but who cares.

[herobrinna]

its 2 in the mf morning and i had the worst TOH au idea so im gonna scream it to the void:

ok so instead of Luz, a travel agent who just lost their job finds their way into the isles and decides to make a deal with Eda to open up a tourism thingy to the Boiling Isles. Eda being a lot more chaotic at the start of the show obviously agrees, and they decide to split whatever profits between them.

but then how do you convince people of this hole other real (especially with its portal being at some abandoned house)? well at first its advertised as funky lil art project, with tours pretty much just being of Eda's backyard and priced pretty cheaply. but as it becomes more popular people realise that - holy shit, none of these things are props, and are actual real things, so it goes viral and tours expand into local towns (or well, just Bonesborrough), and the price for these tours skyrockets.

see at first Eda and travel agent guy manage to keep this business kinda hidden, like with Eda being a criminal she should know when and where scouts patrol around town, so tours would be done with careful scheduling in place to make sure no scout notices, plus with very small groups at a time. and with how the local demons and witches dont notice, well who would honestly believe that random groups of humans are appearing. but shit starts to go down when the youtubers start visiting.

see they immediately start doing stupid shit for views, like going into the wilderness for a 24 hour survival challenge or something, and as Eda and travel agent guy are starting to struggle to keep this from getting out to the emperor's coven, some youtuber completely blows their cover with a "Trying to Sneak into the EMPREROR'S CASTLE at 3AM" challenge.

during this hole time Belos was so peaceful, the Day of Unity was just a few months away and everything was going exactly to plan, so he was focussing on finalising the draining spell or something, completely at bliss on the shit happening. at least up until some humans break into his castle, screaming at the top of their lungs into some device hes never seen in his life. and of course hes pissed and tries to figure out what the hell is going on.

and once he does he is just seething with rage, this is exactly what he was trying to prevent all his life! now these innocent souls are getting bewitched by the devilspawn of this realm. he should have arrested Edalyn the second he suspect she might have the portal, he was such a fool to leave her with that thing.

but its ok, with the Day of Unity happening soon everything will be fine, and he can lead these poor souls back on the righteous path.

or so Belos thinks, until human governments get in touch.

see with videos from tourists going viral the hole world was watching in awe at the "discovery" of this new realm, governments around the world especially, and when it was deemed safe, they decided to make first diplomatic contact.

so all of that because i made this stupid edit:

and man poor Belos is confused shitless. all his life he thought he was gonna go back to the human realm as a hero, witch hunter general, whatever, anything but as their leader. yet here he is.

and he hates absolutely everything, not only does he now have to face the fact that, yes the human realm did drastically change, but also people seem to be accepting witches (at least to an extent, which to Belos is absolutely disgusting)

so logically he thinks that the entire human realm got bewitched.

during this time whatever governments are attempting to share their technology and scientific innovations (and Belos is playing along, introducing them to magic for the time being). and with all the shit happening the eclipse comes and goes with no chance for Belos to go through with his plan. the humans seem to be too bewitched anyways, he reasons, if he went through his plan then and there, they would have painted him as a villain, no he needs to show them how evil witches truly are, so they end up regretting ever making contact with them. and once he finds out about the weapons of mass destruction humans have invented (so much more efficient than the draining spell!), he devises a new plan.

so once again he plays the slow game of earning people's trust, even letting witches emigrate to human countries.

see, as humans still werent used to magic they didnt have any precautions against it, so Belos could easily command a few witches to assassinate whatever major figures (like an illusion witch can make themselves go invisible, or an oracle witch can predict the exact time someone will be at an easy to get place, etc).

basically Belos starts ww3.

and i thought of a lot more about this but im tired now and cant be bothered to write so ehhh.

I might be wrong and maybe I’m just overthinking but honestly? I’m upset because it seems like people forgot about Tom.

So many people were interested in svtfoe and Tom, they drew fan art of him, simped for him, analyzed his choices and actions in the show, shipped him with so many characters, made fan childs of him and others, wrote fanfics, made aus, cosplayed,

but every time I check if there are any new posts about him I find less and less posts. I was shocked to see that nearly no one was posting about Tom or tomtober. It’s been 2 years since the show ended but people just can’t abandon the characters they liked. Maybe they want to move on to other shows that are much more interesting than some show that ended a few years ago, but still I feel bad that few people still remember Tom. Personally it was Tom that made me first want to watch svtfoe and he has always been a comfort character to me for some reason.

I wanna thank you for making fanart of svtfoe, even though you mostly draw toh stuff, which I also like, you seem to never forget and abandon about the svtfoe characters, the aus, and the fanchilds you created. I know your love for Tom is really big so I was a little surprised that there was no 2021 tomtober template created by you. But anyways I’m looking forward to seeing your art and I shall use the template you created in 2019!! (Is that correct idk)

i don’t think anyone really forgot, i think after the finale ppl just needed a break from the show and therefore are taking one and i can’t say i blame them. This tends to happen when a show ends in this way.

i think the fans will be back, but only if the show gets any new news or reasons to bring them back, for now, i think ppl just wanted a break from the mess and that’s fine.

ppl still love and enjoy tom i promise you that, it’s less to do with him but the series he was in. Most ppl agree he was one of the best parts of it.

he is a comfort character to me too and i look forward to the day the series may get a second chance and give him time to shine more.

of course, i still love making it, i’m just branching out now these days so i don’t wipe myself out, still doing my ocs, my aus, and new toh stuff since people seem to really enjoy those as well! (Plus i wanna support the show getting new content since daron currently isn’t interested in any new star projects but dana IS interested in more toh ones so for now i’m happy to help push for that)

Hey, it wasn't an easy choice, but it wouldn't be much fun to do a month alone either, but i am participating in a star vs fankid prompt month if it helps you feel any better!

If next year is different, then maybe i’ll do it, but i need to know it’s worth the time before i go about it, but feel free to host  one yourself and make one, you can totally use my old lists!

more tom art is great by me!

Owl House Book Club Meeting Three

Welcome back to the Owl House Book Club, I’ve brought more fic recommendations to get you guys through the hiatus!

All recommendation lists can be found at @toh-book-club!

If anyone knows if the fic authors that I haven’t added yet have a tumblr, please let me know so I can @ them!

I will post a version of this without the links too and then link this version there, because a lot of the links here are external links so there’s a really high chance this version won’t show up in the tags because tumblr is annoying like that.

If you are going to reblog any version of this, please reblog this one.

That being said: have fun reading, and please be nice to the authors and leave a comment if you can!

I Believe In Second Chances (And That's Why I Believe In You) by AroWillowIsCanon on Ao3:

G. Complete. Hurt/Comfort. Lumity, but mainly focuses on Amity’s and Willow’s relationship.

Summary: It's Amity's first sleepover with Luz and Co, and while she's nervous about spending the night with Luz, she's more worried that the others don't want her there. When Luz and Gus go on an impromptu snack run, Amity and Willow are left alone. Messy feelings ensue.

Happens some time in between Wing It Like Witches and Agony Of A Witch.

A Call Today, A World Away by DontDoHeroinKids on Ao3:

T. Complete. Angst, Family. No ships, focuses on Camila’s and Luz’s relationship from Camila’s perspective.

Summary: The end of summer has come, and Luz Noceda should be finished with her stint at the Reality Check Summer Camp.

Camilia waits at home for her daughter to arrive - and waits, and waits, and waits.

Her only hope at this point is to call her little girl, and pray she picks up.

—

extraordinary. by 1980shorrorfilm on Ao3:

T. Complete. Fluff. Lumity

Summary: Luz is a little oblivious, but maybe not as much as everyone thought.

or;

Luz and Amity study together.

—

What’s Done is Done by hopal_foropal (@hopal-foropal) on Ao3:

G. Complete. Angst. No ships, focuses on Lilith’s relationship with her sister.

Summary: Lilith hadn’t meant for this to happen. She didn’t mean to turn Eda into an owl beast and she certainly didn’t think her sister would end up running off into the woods all alone.

----------------------------------------

Or what happens after Eda ran off from the duel that day?

—

onwards, upwards by mutterandmumble on Ao3:

G. Complete. College AU, Fluff. Lumity.

Summary: In which Amity encounters the hours of the early morning, tries to reason with a stubborn vending machine, fails to reason with a stubborn vending machine, and meets a pretty girl

—

everything about you by tiredandjaded (@tiredandjaded) on Ao3:

G. Complete. Fluff. Pre-relationship Lumity.

Summary: When Luz and Amity arrive home from another turbulent day at school to a note and a few human snails sitting on the kitchen table, Amity has no clue what to make of it.

Luz, however, has no such issue.

"Pizza night!"

Or, in which a late night at the hospital for Camila means a cozy night in for Luz and Amity. It should be relaxing, except seemingly every single thing Luz does makes Amity fall for her even harder.

—

Distance by DeeTheTeaDrinkingDragon (@deetheteadrinkingdragon) on Ao3:

G. Complete. Fluff, Mutual Pining. Lumity.

Summary: A surprise thunderstorm forces Luz and Amity to stay overnight at the Bonesborough Library, which gives Amity ample time to reflect on the lessening distance between her and her dear human friend.

(In short; cute, silly sleepover softness.)

Since I still have a bunch of suggestions to work through, there’s not going to be a suggestion post this time! I’ll just put out the next book club post whenever I get around to reading more of the suggested fics! :D
