Writing Notes: Feeling Inadequate!

I know my output is usually REALLY good, but this week is kicking my butt. I have a decent shape for the next chapter but I am worried that I will miss my two chapter a week plan this time.

I meant to have some more flashbacks to Hunter's time in UWM in this pic, but that's not likely. If I do a follow up where the baby is present it might fit in better... but in the context of Sweet Child, it's just not as relevant so I cut it. You know. Because it's already long.

ANYWAY.

Some notes on canon characters hoping in during the third act.

During ASIAS we get a lot of info.

Willow is embracing her love of sports. She's trying to build her confidence and shed some of her old insecurities. She's befriended Sara (wish we saw more of that) and had built up the courage to face off her old Abomination Teacher (who was terrible to her and just terrible in general) to start a Flyer Derby team.

We also find out that Hunter is extremely insecure himself when it comes to relating to the other Coven Heads. They physically shove him out of the way (as previously mentioned) and regard him as a nuisance at best.

He's already been told by Belos that he is being tested, and from Eclipse Lake, we know that his failure pretty much equals his grave. Even without knowing that he is a Grimwalker at this moment, Hunter knows that if he cannot lead the others in a meeting, he is disappointing Belos -- and that is very, very bad.

ASIAS is also when we find out that Hunter has never spoken to kids his own age before. Yikes.

Professor Hermonculous is kind of instrumental in forming Hunter and Willow's bond. He might not know just how bad the teacher had been to her when they first met, but you can bet that Willow and Hunter bonded over their insecurities and he would know that she had been forced into the abomination track when her true strength was plants.

Hermonculous is petty and willing to cheat -- against CHILDREN! -- to get his way.

Would someone so rigid succeed in new Hexside which is ditching the traditional track system? He likely has some very backwards views on Grimwalkers.

He popped up while writing the last chapter and fit right in with the MIBA crowd and the KotCS. His late appearance in the story just builds a bit around the political climate brewing and how it affects Hunter and Willow -- and their family.

And Darius, Perry and Steve know this is an important time for Hunter to make sure his public image is key to his surviving a hearing regarding the Inner Circle trials and the court of public opinion bent on tearing down everything he's worked for and the life he wants for his family.

Again, I am SORRY IF I CAN'T GET THIS OUT UNTIL AFTER THE WEEKEND. I will try.

Which reminds me....

What would Raine and Hunter's name for their initiative be since BATTS and CATTS isn't relevant here!

The Owl House overlooked/loose Plot treads (Updated)

There are a LOT of unresolved, unaddressed, and forgotten mysteries, characters, and plots that had to be cut short because of the shortening so... I decided to search and list as many of these as possible! Because there is just so much we missed and this is my way to cope.

Plot threads:

What was Darius's mentor's name? and why/how was he "eliminated"? (was he who inspired/influenced Darius to form his own rebellion?)

How did Darius even uncover the Draining spell? did he sneak inside Belos's office and snatch the paper? did he overhear Belos talking with the Collector? did the previous Golden Guard leave him some hints as to what Belos' plan was all about?

How did the CATTs (Amber, Derwin, and Skara) escape the Conformatorium after Eda's requiem? Did Raine break them out? was it Darius? Steve? [Possible Answer: it seems that the cell they were throw-in was actually open]

How did Bump manage to implement multitracking in Hexide? Assuming that at one point, the Emperor's coven sent an actual inspector to the school, how did the detention kids and Bump deal with that?

What about the other magic schools? we never got to see Glandus High or St. Epiderm.

What happened with the Greater Basilisk? It was implied that the emperor's coven took her so... is she dead?

How did belos revive the basilisks? was the Collector involved in that or did he figure out that one on his own? what method did he use? If the collector give him the draining spell, then what was even the point of resurrecting them in the first place?

What exactly is the relationship between Hunter and Darius like? mentor? father figure? friend? After giving Hunter a scroll and promising him to keep Flapjack secret we really never got a proper look at their relationship after all of that. After all of those years of giving Hunter the cold shoulder, Darius must have dedicated a lot of time to gain Hunter's trust.

Grimwalkers, how did Belos discover their existence? The only explanation that comes to mind is that he found the "recipe" in some forgotten temple or that The Collector help him develop it throught trial and error. Althrought the books Hunter found imply that the Demon Realm knows to a certain extent of their existence.

What was that little box containing the puzzle and map to the Titan's Blood? and who put it there and why? Because I genuinely find it disjointed from everything, like, not even a hint was placed about who made it and for who.

What happened to the other basilisk that escaped with Vee, and what was their relationship like? We know they are fine at the end but where did they go? Were they just hiding, or were they searching for Vee? Were they like siblings to her? if not then why bother to stick together? maybe they did care for her...

During Vee's flashback of her time in captivity, we saw 5 cages... We know who inhabited cages 5, 4, and 3. Assuming that the greater basilisk was part of this row of cages, we are missing one basilisk. Who are they and where did they go? What did Belos do to them?

What was the aftermath of Eda's first transformation into the Owl Beast like? what did Lilith do after Eda ran away? What was Gween and Deell's first reaction to the whole situation?

Who was the owner of the Bat Queen? After what was said in the last PostHoot, and the possible connection between her and the tower of the Owl House, well, now I really want to know who.

How many Titans/islands exit in the Demon Realm? We know that other landmasses exist beyond the Demon realm, but we only know of two civilizations, The boiling Isles and the Titan Trappers Island. Are there the only ones? are there more somewhere out there?

Luz and Vee's relationship. There are obviously some unresolved issues between them which we never got to see being resolved. How did Luz feel about Vee being a better daughter to Camila? about Vee making friends in only a few months while she never got one throught her whole life in the human realm? How did she feel about getting a new demon sibling after seemingly losing one just a few days/weeks ago?

Philip and Caleb's relationship. We can only assume and interpret things based on what we saw in Belos's mindscape and what Masha told the Hexsquad.

Evelyn and Caleb's relationship. During the last PostHoot Dana described their relationship as something that developed slowly, but apart from that, we have nothing

Philip's arrival to the Demon realm. We don't have any specifics about when and how Philip ended up in the demon realm, did he follow Caleb exactly when he crossed with Evelyn? did it take him years to muster the courage to cross the portal or find him or it took him years just to find him when already in the demon realm?

What's up with the other coven heads? Hettie Cutborn? maybe she is a buff vampire. Vitmir? no idea what his deal is but he is definitely evil. Osran? also evil, but in a more cynical way. Mason? He gives me family man vibes.

How did Masha and the other Cabin 7 kids feel about the real Luz? it wasn't even addressed how Vee feels about the whole situation, heck she seemingly replaced them with Luz's friends! there is just a lot to unpack there...

What exactly is Raine's relationship with their... apprentices? (Amber, Katay, and Derwin) how did they all meet each other and how did they end up forming the rebellion?

Amity's palisman, how and when did she get them? Was the Bat Queen involved? Was Ghost Odalia's palisman?

Darius and Eberwolf… They seem so close, yet so personality-wise so different from one another. Maybe one day we will see how deep their dynamic goes.

Steve and Matt, we know they are half brothers, but what is their relationship really like? Wouldn't be a surprise if Matt resents him for "abandoning" him for the Emperor's coven.

Flora D'splora's original role and relevance to the story. The crew released a painting that was meant to be part of Hollow mind's background that depicts an unsettling scene of Belos alongside Flora... What was supposed to mean? Was Florea meant to be an antagonist? Or was it all just because of driving Lilith to find the time pools?

Vee and Hunter are literally siblings: kids artificially created by Belos to accomplish a single purpose, had to lie about their identity to make friends, both belong to an extinct species, their names are literally just titles the dynamic between them was literally the thing I wanted to most from Season 3... cries

Viney, Barcus, and Jerbo. I genuinely wanted to see what their newfound freedom to study any type of magic led them to. Possibly nothing important but considerating how multitracking became a thing at one point during the second season...

Hunter, buddy, how did you not recognize Kikimora's voice in For the Future? you worked alongside her your whole life! Don't take this one seriusly

How did Camila and Vee's relationship develop after the lie was no more? we know that at the end Vee is practically a Noceda, but how did they both handle the aftermath of Yesterday's lie? Did Camila at one point resent Vee for what she did, aware that if it wasn't for Luz's arrival, the lie would have continued indefinitely? Did Vee apologize and/or told Camila why she did it? Again, there is a lot to unpack there.

Personally, considerating all of these, I believe that if the Owl House ever gets a spin-off, it needs to be about what we missed because of the shortening. Like, don't get me wrong, A Young Eda and/or Evelyn sounds nice but I don't think that a whole series dedicated to them is necessary. Why not a little bit of everything? 1 episode for each one of these, maybe 2 if it seems necessary. We can finally get some closure for some of the characters that suffered from the shortening (Vee, Darius, Raine, Bosha, the Catss, etc) and get some well-needed answers for much of everything.

If I miss something, make me know and I will add them!

Raine: Ugh, this rebellion is such a mess!

Darius: Alright let’s get back to talking about my outfit.

Eberwolf: Nobody was talking about that

Darius: Which is why I’m trying to get the ball rolling, so how does it look? It’s good right? 

[sim-it-to-win-it]

Finished The Huntlow/Gustholomule Treehouse, and I'm halfway done with the Lumity/Veesha Storybook House! until then, here are some more side Sims to tide everyone over! The BATTs/CATTs!

My fav 30 second screen time couple 💙❤️

Click for better quality

[whotfelsewantedtobelynnyx]

I'm curious to see what other people think, since I always thought of it as a little weird (I always thought of Katya as between the ages of 17-20 and Steve between 21-24)

[justkeepwalkingnothinghere]

I just listened to the Lord of The Rings theme while pretending to give a big speech for the CATTS before going out into battle and it felt fucking amazing.

Why am I posting about this and likely every little thing I do? Because I’m bored, slightly obsessed with this site, and have nothing else to post. It’s gonna be like this for a long while.

[dragonturtle2]

Absolutely. Meanwhile Raine made the RoR students wear the same pajamas for three years straight.

these two served, ate and digested with their new designs

[sanattyskitchen]

The BATs!!!!

[owlhouseismyhome]

Dana art!!

[aroacemisha]

Tbh I find it kinda funny how everyone got at least a slight change to their design/appearance (a minor change to their clothes at the bare minimum), except these three:

They look identical to their pre-timeskip designs.

Micro Writing Notes: Steve and Hunter.

For Steve, it comes down to this:

“I just don’t know how I’m supposed to ACT around you, man. Never have.”

And now I feel like they need to watch Jojo Rabbit together.

[notllorstel]

realized haven't doodled yet some other coven heads i enjoy

[neoncherryblossom]

I feel like Eber would get into Bard if he never used it before, simply because of how useful it is dealing with beasts. Darius would definetely go with Healing and I can see him going with Construction or Plants. And Raine might go with Potions/Illusions, if not both.

But mainly, they'd probably just do basic stuff, like lifting stuff with magic, any of the elementals, and just fun stuff that they were locked out of for decades.

I wanna hear from the people: what other magic tracks do you think the CATTs would try post-sigil removal?

I know Darius would try construction and healing. Raine probably potions, Eber would try plant magic just to grow treats for their veggie loving beasts

[random-dragon-exe]

I know I keep bringing up Raine and Adrian as a cool duo we could've gotten, but you gotta hear me out on this: it would've been a cool thing to see a rebel Raine and Adrian at the same time in the same timeline.

Think about it. It would've been such a cool concept to have two performative magics be used in conjunction with each other/ alongside each other.

Of course, I don't think Adrian would want to get rid of Belos because he's suddenly good or something. No.

I think a reason why he'd turn against Belos is because he'd hate being manipulated and deceived the entire time.

I mean think about it. Adrian is the Covenhead of illusion, where the main focus is about deceptive measures. (Of course he'd want to get back at Belos for that).

Kinda like "no one deceives me, I'm the master of deception here" mindset, so he'd want to see Belos go down for it.

Idk how or when he'd find out, but real fast can you imagine the dynamic of his addition to the rebellion?

Darius wouldn't trust him until he proves it or something. Once that's done, the bickering between him and Adrian will ensue over who has better plans (maybe even style too, who knows)

I imagine Eberwolf will try to get on Adrian’s nerves by biting his tail or his ankles every now and then.

Adrian will then resort to tricking Eberwolf with an illusion clone of himself any chance he can get.

Raine is like the straight person in the group who tries to mitigate the fighting.

Adrian would so try to order them around himself and come up with plans that need a person behind one of his illusions (with no one liking them unless they agree on a compromise for a plan)

And of course, (adding my HC here), Raine and Adrian just hate each other but will try to tolerate each other's presence for the sake of getting rid of Belos.

I'm just saying, can you imagine the potential that this has for them to interact and play off each other?

It'll be like a vibe, similar to a team rocket style, but actually competent.
