3, 9, and 22 from this ask game

Of course! Thank you for participating! Here, have a piece of writing...

3) That encompasses my style (@acacia-may)

Hmm... My style's developed a lot over the years, and while I haven't had much time to write lately, I do think this little bit of Clamour from a couple months ago works pretty well! It's got the signature Lilac Anaphora, lots of flowery language, an abundance of commas and a little hint of enjambment as a metaphor for mental decline. (Sorry Acacia, I know you aren't in the fandom!! If you like, you can always submit another ask- 3 is just one that I struggled to think of something for :'])

His spiral down into insanity was not a quick process, nor was it without turmoil. It had been torturous, losing himself to the whispers inside of his brain, every thought overcome by that intoxicating need for more. His heart thrummed in his ears with each movement he made, fingers itching with the need to puppeteer once more, his head full of a throbbing, pulsating, incessant craving for control. Hiding it had been easy enough. His friends were long-since accustomed to his eccentricities, so when he began acting a little more oddly than usual, no-one batted an eye. He kept his lips sewn firmly shut and a toothy smile across his face, the chanting in his head growing louder and louder and louder with every lie he told. Maybe if he’d have been a little stronger, he’d have been able to overcome it. Maybe he would have told his friends. Maybe he would have been good enough to give up the power slowly killing him from the inside. Letting go was as inevitable as it was involuntary, in the end. As the floodgates burst, a rush of distorted euphoria like nothing before had sunk deep into his soul, a growing hunger beginning to fester within him. It grew and grew, and he took and took, and his friends fell with him as he watched , and he laughed and cackled because wasn’t it so ironic that anything heavenly or good be quashed in a place that couldn’t possibly hope to fathom it, and eventually, he had stopped caring about anything at all. The other Fallen Heroes mean nothing to him. His friends had died with him all those decades ago, only crude facsimiles of their former selves remaining. So here he is, the only performer left on a dusty set of cobwebs, and that hunger inside of him never stops. Something akin to loneliness aches alongside it, the lingering results of his isolation digging in deep and refusing to grant him even a moment of solace.

9) With characters I love

For this one, I think I'm going to have to go with an extract from Take A Bow- I'm hyperfixating hard on CRK at the moment lol. This was my first time writing both Pure Vanilla & Shadow Milk, and it was a lot of fun imagining how the story might progress before Theatre of Lies was released!!

Just as quickly as the darkness had arrived, a face shot out of the tree like a jack-in-the-box, sharp white teeth glinting down at them in a twisted, elated grin. A warped, reversed version of Pure Vanilla’s own symbol gleamed in the newfound turquoise light, his breath catching in his throat as he remembered all that Elder Faerie had told them. This must be the Beast who had originally possessed Pure Vanilla’s soul jam. The blonde found his hand subconsciously drifting to the crest on his own chest, gaze darting rapidly over every aspect of the uncaged monster’s face. “Ah!” A long, high exclamation pierced through the quiet, just as delighted as its voice’s owner. “Doesn’t this fresh air just feel… Divine?!” The last word ended in a growl, something manic heightening even further as the creature lazily surveyed its surroundings. Its unwavering stare passed over each of them in turn, finally settling on Pure Vanilla. Something in its glare sharpened, distorted cerulean light dancing along iridescent pools of insanity. “Oh, I see I have quite an audience here,” it remarked, its jauntiness seeming far too out of place amidst their own fearful grimaces. “I am so terribly sorry to have kept you waiting.” The voice fluctuated between shrill shrieks and inhuman snarls, every word laced with venomous glee. Its head alone was larger than all of them combined, and Pure Vanilla was loath to imagine how excessive the casualties would be if they were to instigate another fight. “But now… The wait is over. Your favourite trickster is here,” it lowered its head in a flamboyant half-bow. Its value had become Deceit, Pure Vanilla recalled. Undeniable intelligence shone among clear madness, for this was a being born of knowledge and corrupted into lies. It was– “Shadow Milk Cookie.”

22) That is so blissfully self-indulgent

Here, have a snippet of an Owl House AU I came up with on a whim one night in which I threw Caleb Wittebane into the future and leapt over plot holes like they were hurdles on an obstacle course >:]

Caleb was going to die. There was a dagger in his brother’s hand, glinting with the dark promise of blood to be spilt and aimed directly at him, merciless and unwavering in its pursuit. Caleb’s breath caught in his chest as he stumbled backwards, heartbeat pounding in his ears with a new sort of rapidity. It used to be such a thrilling feeling: the quick yet predictable pounding against his ribs, excitement making his lips quirk or anticipation leaving them agape. It was the adrenaline that used to come with a hunt, the dread and uncertainty and wonder that brewed within him as he stepped through that portal, the butterflies fluttering in his stomach that only Evelyn could incur. Now, his heart threw itself desperately against the confines of its prison, nausea rising within Caleb’s throat and poison in his mind because he was about to die, to be killed at the hands of the person he loved more than anything. The person he had loved more than anything. The person he’d given up everything for. The person he’d raised since childhood. Ever since Caleb was young, Philip had been his biggest priority. Their parents passed when they were both young, Philip so much so that he could scarcely remember them. It fell to Caleb to raise his brother, working odd jobs so they could afford accommodations as they passed from town to town. In a world where no-one could be trusted and not a soul was on their side, it had been Caleb’s responsibility to keep his little sibling safe. To keep him alive, protected. To keep him well. Looking at the pure resentment in Philip’s glare, Caleb wondered how it had all gone so wrong. He knew, really, exactly the reason behind his brother’s murderous intent; it simply seemed impossible to associate his hopeful, smiling, playful Philip with the spite-fuelled monster before him. His head swam with memories long since tainted by acidic regret. There were so, so many ways he could have prevented this situation, eradicated even the possibility of Philip wishing harm upon him. So many things he could have done. So many things he didn’t do, and here he was now, paying the price. Caleb’s days were numbered, he’d always known that. His fate was sealed as soon as he first took Evelyn’s hand.

Thanks again for the asks! <3

pairings: grumpy!college student!Harry x fem! sunshine!reader

chapter summary: She can't remember what all happened last night and Harry is different. She only remembers when she sees his face during their study session and Harry's seemingly drastic change fucks with her head.

series summary: Harry hates Y/N, it seems like it's been like that forever. He's quick to insult and correct her even when she's right, he's just always been the only one to pick on her no matter what she does. She doesn't understand why it's like this between them or what she did to make him dislike her so much, but what if it's all just a lie?

overall warnings: slow burn, eventual smut, sexual tension, kind of enemies to lovers, angst, alcohol consumption and drug mentions, foul language, Harry is a major asshole in this toh, heavy on the grumpy x sunshine in this.

Y/N woke up  to a pounding in her head, the pain throbbing as she sat up in her bed. She rubs her eyes and turns her head, spotting the small bottle of pain relievers and a cup of water that sits on her bedside table. She doesn't remember setting that out before she set out for Leya's house, in fact she can't even remember what all happened last night. 

She knows she danced with Leya, had a couple of drinks, and she might've talked to Harry for a brief moment but everything else is a blur inside of her tired and hungover brain. She can't stop the yawn that escapes through her lips, so she stretches her arms over her head and stands up. She can't help but to frown at the feel of the cold wooden floor against her bare feet, she shuffles across the room to her dresser and quickly opens a drawer and grabs the first pair of socks that she can see. 

She makes her bed, her eyes squinting against the harsh sun rays that beam through her bedroom window onto her face. After she's through, she grabs her phone and hisses at the intensity of the brightness, so she quickly turns it down so she can check her notifications. She can see several messages and a couple missed calls from Leya, the texts express how sorry she is about leaving her and how worried she was when she couldn't find her - it's repetitive really, the same wording just different ways of putting them together. She can also see several other irrelevant notifications as her thumb scrolls down the list before she spots a singular message from Harry simply reminding her of their study session today. 

She can't help but to furrow her eyebrows at that, he's never been one to care so why would it matter for her to remember their session? She simply responds with an 'ok' before she's back at her dresser, quickly grabbing a pair of light washed skinny jeans and a gray sweater so she can get dressed. Quickly doing her routine and throwing back the pain pills and chasing it with the water before she's on the way out the door. 

The sun shines bright against her eyes and she frowns as she steps out of the house and onto her bike. She gently removes the cord locking her bike in place and puts it in her tote bag and pushes her bike forward. She begins to pedal her way down the street, smiling politely at the passerby and little kids. Her head is killing her with every movement and light and she can't help but to frown mentally before she stops at a small grocery store, parking her bike in front and not bothering to tie it down. She quickly walks inside and greets the lady standing there, flashing her as warm of a smile as she can manage and heading to the juice aisle.

She quickly grabs a small bottle of orange juice and heads to the register, smiling at the lady checking her out and hands her the money. She's in and out of the store in less than five minutes, eager to get this day over with and to be in her bed as soon as possible. So she hops back on her bike and begins her journey to her school once more. The breeze fanning through her hair and on the few exposed parts of skin brings her a sense of peace, 

She can't help but to smile against the breeze as the trees and buildings pass her by as she pedals her way down the street. Her head doesn't seem to hurt as bad, the throbbing has dulled and she can't help but to smile as she remembers to thank Harry if he's the one that took her home. She can make out the school's silhouette beginning to form in the distance so she pedals faster. 

- - - - 

She's walking out of her third period class, her hand massaging her forehead softly from all the  lights and loud talking that surrounded her. The chatter that fills the halls does nothing to ease her headache either, it's not as loud but loud enough to make her groan in response as she shuts her eyes tightly. 

"Hey babes, I don't think that'll ease the headache or make it go away." She shakes her head and opens her eyes only to be greeted with her best friend's face in front of her. 

"I know it won't be Leya. I knew playing with you was a bad idea." There's a playful tone in her voice to show she's not upset. 

Leya shakes her head with a small smile on her lips. 

"Yeah yeah, I'm sure it was so horrible. Pretty sure that's the most fun I've seen you having and the most carefree ever. I don't regret it. But I am sorry for leaving, I saw you go to the bar and I figured it'd be okay for a couple minutes. You could've gotten me and I would've taken you home!" Y/N can't help but to smile softly at her best friend before resting her hand on her shoulder. 

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean to leave me, I'm a little upset but I'll get over it. I got home safely and you did too, that's all that matters." Leya can't help but to shake her head gently and she frowns. 

Y/N knows Leya's blaming herself for last night so she wraps her in a tight hug. 

"Harry took me home I think, he’s the last person I can remember talking to. It’s all such a blur, but I'm okay. Don't beat yourself up. I'm the one who left you, so it's on me. We're good, I'm mostly upset at myself honestly." Y/N chuckles softly at her best friend's shocked expression. 

"You mean Harry that despises your existence, that Harry? He took you home?" Y/N nods her head and Leya smiles really big as she wiggles her eyebrows at the blushing girl. 

"It’s not for certain! I was pretty far gone, and I can barely remember the events of the night. Let's get to class before you make me late." She says and makes her way forward, attempting to change the topic or avoid the whole Harry situation in general. 

The chatter of the students still lingering in the hallways fade from her focus, slowly becoming just a faint background noise to the two girls. Y/N knows that she can't avoid this topic forever and that her friend's bound to bring it up sooner than she'd like, but she just wants a sense of normalcy as of right now. The air inside the school is cold against the back of her neck causing goosebumps to rise in its wake, she can see the different groups mingle together in the hallways as they make the most of the time before the bell rings. The bright fluorescent lights reflect on the tiled floor as they travel down the hall, arms brushing against one another before Leya gingerly intertwines their hands together and begins to swing their conjoined hands.

As they walk hand in hand, Y/N sees no sign of Harry in the halls nor can she hear him, his distinctive loud voice isn't booming in the halls which is concerning given the fact that he made sure to remind her of their study session, so why can't she find a hint of him being at school? She's not actively looking for him, there's no reason for her to be. It's just gotten normal for her to hear his laugh from down the hallway or to see his figure leaning against a locker as he kisses whatever girl he's managed to catch for the day. She's become so used to his banters and smart remarks that it's strange to walk down the crowded halls and have him not be a part of it. 

She's so in her head about the absence of Harry that she doesn't realize Leya's stopped a little ways behind her until she bumps shoulders with another student and mumbles a soft 'excuse me' and turns around to scold her friend for not letting her know. She's met with an amused smile resting on her friend's lips as she attempts to hold back her laughter. She shakes her head at herself as she makes her way back over to her friend. She keeps her head down to avoid all the stares watching her knowing she missed the door to her classroom. 

"Daydreaming again?" Leya asks with amusement laced in her voice, the smile never leaving her lips while Y/N's face begins to turn a very faint shade of red. 

"Fuck off Leya. I wasn't daydreaming, just wasn't paying attention." The same amusement is in her tone as well, indicating she's not upset with the girl in front of her. They both giggle as they wrap each other in their arms, sharing a brief hug before Leya departs with a soft kiss to Y/N's temple and waving her goodbye.

As Y/N walks into her fourth period class, she can't stop her eyes from wandering over all of the chairs as she heads towards an empty chair near the middle of the classroom. The teacher greets Y/N with a polite smile and she waves as she reciprocates the smile. 

- - - - 

The day passes rather quickly for Y/N as she walks out of her last class of the day, clutching her tote bag strap that rests on her shoulder and the gray fabric bumps against her hip with every step she makes as she heads down the very crowded hallway, weaving through the groups of students stopped in the hallway making idle conversation with their friends and the various teachers standing in front of their doors yelling at said students to go home. She can't help but to feel a bubble of nervousness begin to form in the pit of her stomach and worm its way to her chest and the idea of her and Harry being in close proximity of each other after whatever happened between them last night, the memories of the night before are still a blur in her head. 

Her legs carry her outside of the school building and to the right, passing a very small group of students huddled together talking amongst themselves with low voices, the few straggles of flowers littering the grass surrounding the school and she can't help her eyes from wandering to them as she passes, a soft smile placed on her lips from the beauty of each individual flower. The sun shines bright in the sky, the warm rays shining through the leaves in the trees and warms her face as she passes through. 

She walks up the steps and through the tall glass door, inhaling deeply and smiling as the smell of old books and is that a hint of vanilla she smells? She shrugs it off slightly before making her way to the back of the building to her designated table, away from prying ears and eyes but not hidden enough to cause suspicion from the librarian. The air inside of the building is cold thanks to the air conditioning running full blast to battle the warmer weather outside and she's grateful for her choice of clothing for the day.

She sets her tote bag on the back of the chair and pulls her new worksheet, her books and her binder full of paper out and places them on the table, setting them in order of what she'll use the most. She grabs her phone and checks the time, she's only a couple of minutes earlier than the time she arrived last time and if she knows Harry, he's gonna be late as always so in order to pass the time she quickly gets up to walk around the library and grabs a copy of Pride and Prejudice from the shelves and makes her way back to her table. Once she's fully settled and as comfortable as she can manage in the wooden chair, she opens the book and begins to read. 

Harry can’t get the feeling of her lips pressed against his out of his head, and he’s upset about that. He can’t stop the imaginary feeling of her lips pressed against his, can’t stop imagining what would happen if he didn't pull away. He can’t stop the replay of that obnoxiously cute nervous giggle she let out afterwards. He’s been trying to think of literally anything to try to redirect his mind, but it’s no use. That one moment always forces itself back in the front of his brain, it’s incredibly irritating if you ask him. 

He doesn’t understand why his brain is keeping that memory and torturing him with it, doesn’t understand why it’s seemingly a big deal. It’s not in any way and he wishes his brain and body could get the idea. He also doesn’t understand why he has a bottle of orange juice in his hand and it’s not for him, it’s for her. He woke up from a dream where he indulged in that kiss, allowed himself to memorize the taste of her lips, he was grumpy afterwards because what the actual fuck was that? 

Something told him to grab something for the sure hangover she’s bound to have, he’s going with the idea that he won’t have as much fun if she’s the one who’s cranky and irritable because she has a hangover, no other reason. 

It seems no matter how many times she's read this book, it never gets boring. She's gotten so into the book that she's managed to read a good chunk of the book as a couple stray tears have fallen down her cheeks, she sniffles as she wipes them with her sleeve. She figures she's read enough so she begins to close the book and grab her phone to check the time when she hears his voice behind her. 

"Sorry m'late." She can't help but to jump slightly with his voice so near to her ear, she can hear him chuckle slightly as she turns around to face him. 

It's as if seeing his face brings back every second of last night, flashbacks whirs through her brain at a fast pace and she can't help the heat that rushes to her cheeks. Images of her dancing with Leya, the drink challenge, the bartender that was clearly flirting with her, losing Leya, Harry helping her find her best friend, him taking her home after finding out Leya was hooking up with some guy, her calling Harry pretty- oh this is really fucking bad, he has all the ammunition against her now- and the accidental kiss. She quickly turns her head to face in front of her, she's sure her face is beet red and she feels hot all over. She's embarrassed and she can't believe herself. He sits down beside her and he can't help his gaze from peeking over to her and he has to bite back a laugh. 

"Everything ok? Y'look like you've seen a ghost Y/N." It's her turn to be the quiet one, she can only hum in agreement, her gaze never refusing to leave the middle of the wall. He slides a bottle of orange juice over to her, just close enough to catch her attention. He watches as she tenses up with his hand growing closer and he shakes his head. 

"Figured y'might need it, it helps with hangovers - at least it did with mine." She only nods dazedly in response and he chuckles. 

It's almost as if a switch has flipped overnight because the Harry that's sitting next to her is not the one she's been dealing with for years and she's unable to figure out how to go about this, she can't help but to bite her bottom lip nervously as she turns her gaze to the worksheets in front of her. 

"Thought I was supposed to be the one that's quiet, Y/N. Are you okay? If we need to do this another-" He's interrupted by her turning her gaze to him and clearing her throat. 

"We.. We kissed. You were.. you were nice and I'm just confused and nervous and none of it makes any sense." He shakes his head at her and runs his head through his long brown locks. 

"Yeah no big deal though, you were shitfaced and didn't need anything happening to you before my exams. You gotta make sure I pass so I can get the hell outta here." He smiles softly before leaning over to look at the worksheets. She shakes her head and she can't help the frown beginning to form on her lips and the furrow that appears in between her eyebrows. 

She can't stop wondering why he isn't upset or at least worried about it, he's always been so big on the fact that he doesn't like her so why isn't this a big deal to him. Why doesn't this matter to him as much as it matters to her?

"Get out of your head. I promise it's not gonna change anything, it's done. It's in the past, now aren't these the same sheets we did last time?" Her head is swimming with all of the flashbacks and the quick whiplash from Harry's behavioral change. She sighs and shakes her head to try to rid the thoughts in her head so she can focus. 

She pushes the worksheets closer to Harry with a small smile. 

"Uh, yeah. They are the same for the first half, I want to see if you actually paid attention and did some work after you left." Harry frowns and scoffs at that before the corners of his mouth begin to tug upwards and he covers his mouth with his hands, Y/N's eyes can't help but to stare at the new ring on his finger. It's nothing special and really shouldn't matter to her but something just draws her attention, she can make out a glimpse of some small letters engraved in cursive on the silver ring.  Harry catches her gaze and removes his hand and clears his throat. 

"In your words exactly, the only way to pass this test is for me to actually work with you, unless you wanna do it all for me and I just study it." His voice has taken the same playful tone from last night and she can't help the blood that rushed to her cheeks at the seemingly painful reminder. 

She tilts her head down in an attempt to shield her face from Harry's gaze and she can hear him chuckle softly from beside her. 

"You have to do the work, it won't do you any good just to memorize anything. You'll never actually learn anything." She shakes her head softly, her gaze still focused on the table as she speaks. The air has changed, it's charged with awkward tension - the electric kind that's hard to ignore for long periods of time. The one that feels as if it's burning her skin, the silence is deafening between them. It’s completely different from the last bit of silence, uncomfortable in two different ways. While the last one was suffocating and clawing at her, this one burns her skin and heat licks at her skin.  

"Outta your head now, c'mon. Do we need to reschedule?" His voice is quiet, much softer than she's used to and it only makes it worse, she shakes her head softly before tilting her head back up to look at him. 

She can't help but to gaze into his emerald green eyes, mapping out every detail of his face - the way his eyelashes brush against his cheeks, the viridescent irises and  his soft pink lips. She clears her throat because she can't allow herself to be thinking of him like that, at the end of the day he's still him and she knows that he hasn't changed at all. As much as she wishes this could be the new normal minus the tension, she highly doubts he's magically changed overnight. She turns her focus to the worksheets and opens the textbook to the correct page, the soft crinkling of the pages as she flips through them fills the space between them. 

Once she's fully settled, she turns her gaze back to Harry and smiles softly. 

"Do you think you can do this worksheet for me? Just don't wanna go over anything you already know or remember." Her voice is quiet, just above a whisper as she speaks as if she's sharing a secret and he shrugs. 

"Y'got a pen?" She nods before reaching one arm into her tote bag and blindly searches for a pen. It takes a couple of seconds before she finally pulls one out and hands it to him. He takes the one from her and frowns at the small shock that happens between their fingertips as they graze one another. He chooses to slide his seat just a little bit away from her - he needs space from whatever weird energy is filling the air surrounding them, before he tilts his head down and brings the pencil to the paper. 

He exhales briefly before beginning to write out the answers, some coming to him quickly while others he struggles to remember what the book says. The faint sound of pencil scratching against the paper mixes in with the sound of the air conditioning blowing and the soft whispers as their peers communicate about projects and books, he can't help but to sneak a glance over to Y/N just to find that she's already looking at him. He averts his gaze quickly and back to the paper, a frown beginning to form on his lips in response. He doesn't know what's gotten into him, the urge to actually do something is stronger than him causing him to willingly do what she says. 

Once he's done, he slides the paper back to Y/N and keeps his gaze on the paper. He can barely make out the outline of her fingers pulling the sheet of paper back to her in the corner of his eye and his frown deepens. The silence has grown even louder, it's banging against their shoulders with every passing moment. Y/N swears she can hear the sound of her own heart beating in her chest. She hates this tension - scratch that, she hates every tension that they have between this one, but especially this one. The tension between them is so electrically charged, thick and heavy and she can’t stand it. She’s fucking confused and annoyed, but it seems shes always at least annoyed with Harry so this should be normal for her. 

She doesn’t understand why this session is so much different than any of the others, obviously the kiss that couldn’t technically be considered a kiss might have something to do with it. She just doesn’t understand why the session is so bad and full of tension over something so small, it’s like a flip was switched overnight. The quietness of the library doesn’t help with it either, it makes it worse because there’s barely any sound happening and it just keeps tugging at the string between them.

 She doesn’t understand why he’s being nice to her all of a sudden. Sure she has a hangover, and she might be a little on the grumpy side and the kiss keeps replaying through her head but it can’t be considered a kiss! Her emotions are just all over the place and Harry decides to suddenly start to tolerate her and be nice to her is definitely not helping the situation. She thinks this has to be a scheme or some trick to her. That definitely fits his nature, being nice only to get some personal gain because he doesn’t seem to think about anyone else but himself. The sound of someone clearing their throat next to her alerts her out of her mind, she turns her head as if to apologize for maybe speaking her thoughts aloud and she’s only met with Harry staring at her. 

His brows are furrowed but there’s no frown on his face, he kind of looks concerned… His eyes shine just a little bit, an emotion she’s never seen before swirls through his irises and she knows right there that she’s not immune to his charm. All these years of bickering and hating on the other, the snarky remarks and shoves and bumps and she still thinks he’s beautiful. 

“Is everything okay, Y/N?” His voice is soft, just a breath above a whisper as he speaks and the girl feels like she needs to cry. She doesn’t under why all this is happening and she hates that it’s jumbling up her brain. 

“I’m fine, I just think I need to go home.” She says as she closes the text book. She needs to lay in bed and scream into her pillow for a little bit, find something to unjumble her brain. She needs to get away from him and whatever parasite or evil scheme he has in his brain, to remember just exactly who he is. 

She begins to pack her things up, she figures Harry won’t care either way; thinks he’d be glad to be away from her. 

“Well, did you want to reschedule?” Harry asks and she shakes her head, they’ve covered enough during this session. 

“It’s okay, we can continue where we left off next time.” Harry only offers her a barely there smile after he speaks, this can’t be him. He must’ve gotten abducted and cloned, or something of the sort cause this makes absolutely no sense. 

She only nods in response as she finishes packing the rest of her things up, telling him bye as she rushes out the door and down the hall. Her mind seems to race a mile a minute; she’s never been good at accepting change, especially drastic changes like whatever happened to Harry overnight. She excuses herself as she tries not to bump into the people littering the halls and pushes the main doors open as she races to her bike. Her scrambled mind is focused on Harry and getting home, and she can only do something about one of those so she unlocks her bike and begins to pedal home. She wishes Harry didn’t affect her this much, to send her spiraling over something so simple and unimportant. When she finally reaches her apartment, she rushes to lock her bike and heads inside. She’s eager to curl up in bed and forget this day ever happened, to forget Harry’s odd behavior and the way it seemed to fuel that tiny spark she held onto for years.

Why, out of GF, Amphibia, and TOH, only Luz didn't have to leave her new world behind:

I've seen people complain about Amphibia and to a lesser extent, Gravity Falls, for having their series end with a goodbye; the main characters having to leave their found families and this world they've grown to love and return to regular life. But the thing is, the three shows all have MASSIVELY different morals, that each fit in with how the goodbyes (or lack thereof) work into the finales.

Gravity Falls has a large theme of temporary goodbyes and reconciling. Stan and Ford being the primary example. But there are others: Soos and Melony, Wendy and Robbie, even Dipper and Mabel to an extent. The show builds upon this with Gravity Falls being a VACATION, they aren't trapped there, they could theoretically go home at any time. Episodes such as Summerween and Dipper and Mabel Vs. The Future also build on the tone, telling that it's okay to both grow up and move on, but you don't have to leave behind what you once loved in doing so.

The final conflicts (Wierdmaggedon) are caused because of characters not being able to let go. Stan couldn't let go of Ford, Mabel couldn't let go of Gravity Falls, Gideon couldn't let go of Mabel.

Gravity Falls teaches the viewer that even if you love something, you have to let it go, and eventually it will return. In the words of Bill Cipher: "We'l meet again. Don't know where, don't know when. I just knew we'll meet again, some sunny day."

Amphibia has a similar theme of Gravity Falls, but it takes it further. Amphibia tells you that if you don't let go, sometimes things will only get worse. The primary example for this is the show's catalyst event: Marcy getting Anne to steal the Music Box. Marcy chose to go to Amphibia, rather than move away, and she dragged her friends into it with her. Instead of having a long distance friendship with Sasha and Anne, she took them to an alternate dimension in order to spend eternity on a massive adventure, and it got her killed. Marcy and Anne died and Sasha tried to kill herself.

And that's only Marcy. Sasha was a control freak that bordered on yandere at the height of her villain arc. Sasha couldn't accept that Anne was beginning to move on from the toxic friendship that the Calamity Trio had locked themselves into.

The trio were horrible to eachother, pre-character arcs, and they needed to focus on self improvement before they could even hope to be good friends. In the time between 'All In' and the epilog, the Calamity Trio would not have actually been able to be good for eachtoher. They say they forgive eachother, but that was forgiveness given during a WAR. Post show, the real feelings would start to bubble up. Anne's resentment for the betrayals, Marcy’s abandonment issues, Sasha's definite self hatred. The trio HAD to split up to have any semblance of a friendship.

Amphibia tells its audience that not all good things can last, and if you obsess and force it to stay, it can destroy you.

The Owl House has a completely opposite moral. It tells you to find your people, and fight for them.

Luz lived in the Human Realm, but it was never her home. Her home was with Camila and Manny, but when Manny died, Camila and Luz's relationship began to falter. That world wasn't her home. When Luz found the Boiling Isles, she was always supposed to be able to leave. This wasn't a summer trip she didn't want at first, or a one way portal. The Boiling Isles was HER choice.

Luz picked Bonesburrow. Luz picked Hexside. Luz picked The Owl House. Her home was always meant to be The Boiling Isles. She only started trying to find a way back to Earth because the choice was taken from her. Luz no longer had the choice to go back to the Human Realm. In fact, the only time Luz chose Humans over Isles was when she was PUNISHING herself for helping Belos.

Luz got to stay in the Boiling Isles because TOH tells its audience that where you start isn't where you should always stay. Find your place and find your people. And when you do, hold it dear and never let go. "Us weirdos have to stick together."

[delaneywuzup700]

Okay that does it! I need to address an elephant in the room about something in TFP, Bumblebee and Arcee had two contradictions with their characters! Now, I'm not saying this because I think TFP is overrated and that it's not ATLA or TOH levels of good, I'm saying this because this has been bothering me for so long, don't hate me for this.

Okay, you know episode 6 of Season 1 "Masters & Students" Starscream frees Skyquake from stasis so he can inspire the D-Con troops under his leadership, and of course it ends with Optimus and Bumblebee tussling with him and Bee guts Quake to death like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Bee has just committed murder, now we cut to episode 20 "Partners", where Starscream wants to join the Autobots (Something I still don't know if he was being genuine about) and while Optimus, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead go after Airachnid who has the Immobilizer, Arcee is forced to deal with Starscream who was cuffed by the bots and finds out he murdered Cliffjumper and he proceeds to emotionally toy with her. Arcee is about murder Starscream for killing Cliff until she notices Bee's looking at her with a little sad and scared face.

And I'm going to say that... BUMBLEBEE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO GIVE HER THE "NO NO DON'T" FACE! Like no, Bumblebee murdered Skyquake 14 episodes ago, you mean to tell me it's okay for you to kill someone Bee and not Arcee?! This scene puzzled the hell out of me! And then Bumblebee takes a drive by Hypocriteville again, look I really liked the scene where Bumblebee stabs Megatron after all the pain he caused especially to him, that stabbing was extremely satisfying. But what Bumblebee did was basically a revenge kill, something Arcee was basically about to do in "Partners". And the last thing Megatron did to Bee was murdering him before the Omega Lock brought him back.

Speaking of more hypocrisy, let's go to episode 23 "One Shall Fall" Now the episode, a big ol' gut punch to my heart, Bee and Raf's friendship is my favorite and it was hard to watch Bumblebee worry to death about Raf when he got poisoned by dark energon but in the scene where Arcee tries to tell him to cool it after violently punching the wall in anger and slightly frightening Jack and Miko. She tells him to control his emotions, even though back in "Partners" she went after Airachnid all willy-nilly and proceeded to do the same thing later in the episode "Crossfire" because she has beef with Airachnid for killing Tailgate, her first partner before Cliff and back in "Partners" she uncuffed Starscream to fight him out rage when he slipped about being Cliffjumper's killer, that proved to be bad in the end. 🫤

There, I just really needed to get these flaws off my chest.

I absolutely adore the "Eda is Howl and Raine is Sophie" AU (and am sharing links to art and fics at the bottom of this post because they're all so good!). But may I suggest - that's what the story looks like from Raine's point of view. From Eda's point of view, it looks like this:

Update: here's the coloured version:

Reference, further thoughts and links to other fanworks under cut!

Just look at Raine Rizzpers. They're this handsome, dashing, incredibly powerful magician who wears a dangly earring and a glorious off-the-shoulder coat.

Imagine:

- Eda has to hide from coven scouts and Raine uses their magic to whisk her away. Of course where Sophie is initially terrified of walking in the sky Eda is immediately delighted and laughs instead of yelping. And Raine literally does the same "soldiers/scouts turn away and march away" magic in the BATTs intro as Howl does in the movie intro, right? Same magic! So Raine and Eda have a lovely time together (longer than Howl and Sophie, maybe even the whole day?) because they form an immediate  connection, just like in "Them's the breaks, kid".

- Then Eda gets cursed, which makes her age prematurely and run away from home. She finds an old house in the wilderness. Unlike in TOH canon, the house is inhabited not only by Hootcifer but also occasionally by Raine. (Or maybe the house is not the Owl House but the BATTs headquarters, and the 3 BATTs are the equivalent of Calcifer, Markl abd Heen?)

- either way Raine going on BATT missions, disguised as a bat, is the equivalent of Howl going to war in bird form.

- unfortunately Raine doesn't seem to recognise her. She thinks it's because of her curse, but finds out that Raine's heart and memories seemingly have been locked away (Terra's potion).

- since Eda lost her magic to the curse, now Raine is the only magician in this relationship. But even without her magic Eda refuses to leave. She just kind of aggressively adopts Raine, citing old woman privilege, because of course she's immediately worried about the effects of the curse on the person she met that day and couldn't forget since.

- some kind of confrontation between Eda and Terra (madam Suleiman equivalent). Raine was going to go themself, unlike Howl, but Eda somehow preempted them and went instead of them, using an illusion to look like Raine, just like in canon! And then Terra sees through the illusion and everything falls apart but in the end they still find each other...🥺

*Slaps AU* This baby can fit SO MUCH mutual pining in it!

The reason why I love Raeda so much is that both of them are the Howl and the Sophie in this relationship.

Anyway here are the amazing other fanworks!

what are your favourite toh dynamics?

AGHGHGHHHHH OKAY, SO- this is mostly gonna be me talking abt hunter dynamics cuz kxjsjks i'm predictable, that's where my brainrot lies, but boy. i love toh dynamics so much

my probably Favorite favorite dynamics are hunter & flapjack and hunter & luz.

like, flapjack being hunter's first ever friend, the first instance of someone caring abt him genuinely and unconditionally, the first step to him breaking free from belos... the fact that he brought so much love and joy into hunter's life.

hunter had always had so much love in his heart, he loved his "uncle", but he'd never known what being loved was supposed to feel like; he thought love was conditional, and angry outbursts were just a normal part of it. but then flapjack came into his life and showed hunter what it felt like to love and BE LOVED BACK. he helped him open up, helped him find ppl who'd care abt him, helped him realize that whatever belos felt towards him…. wasn't love, that being loved wasn't supposed to feel like how he felt near belos; but that being loved was supposed to feel GOOD and WARM. (hunter being near tears because flapjack offered him a half of his berry instead of getting angry and lashing out at him like he'd predicted he would, since that's what he was always used to..... not comprehending this amount of kindness was even a possibility UGHHHGH)

they genuinely cared abt/for each other so much. flapjack was with hunter every step of the way, he supported him ALWAYS and he helped him and was such a big comfort in the scariest and most uncertain moments of hunter's life; like, this little magical bird loved his boy like no one else in the entire world. he was always by hunter's side and always indulging that boy's dumb ideas kxjsjk ughhh... the way flapjack didn't even hesitate to sacrifice his own life so that his boy could live, and even though he's gone, a part of his soul will always live inside of hunter. and hunter also cared abt flapjack so much, that was his BEST FRIEND. the apple of his eye!!!! the way belos almost crushing flapjack was the only thing that managed to give hunter enough strength and motivation to break through belos' possession and take back control of his own body. the way hunter always made sure that flapjack had the best care he could possibly have offered him, he loved him and still DOES... and always will. just!!!! gah. hunter and flapjack...

now, hunter and luz's dynamic is also just...... SOOOO SO interesting and full of SO many little nuances. how much it progresses, how much they go through together, how much they change. the fact that they started off on the wrong foot, on "opposite sites", but even then luz didn't consider hunter an enemy- they bickered a lot and luz didn't hold back from calling hunter out but ever since hunting palismen she saw him as hunter, not just the golden guard; and then as time progressed, they slowly grew to care abt each other and became some of the most important ppl in each other's lives.

thinking abt hollow mind, how traumatic of an event it was and how that mutual shared trauma that only they can understand affected and strengthened their bond. how luz gradually went from being angry/irritated at hunter for defending belos to being more protective of him and worried for his safety when she saw what his and belos' relationship REALLY looked like, that this situation wasn't safe for hunter, that he needed help, that he needed to be away from belos asap. her offering him to stay at the owl house, assuring him that everything was going to be okay as he was being pulled underground..... GOD. hunter immediately switching from calling luz "human" to her name after finding out the truth.

thinking abt their secret-keeping deal and how it rly wasn't healthy for them at ALL because they kept comforting each other from their VERY similar perspectives/stances, which just further locked in their mentality of "haha yeah they'll hate both of us when they find out our secrets!" during their stay in the human realm. how they were ensuring each other's fears by relating to each other; like a circle. but nevertheless, they still cared about each other and have only grown to care about each other even more throughout the few months and, ah!!!! them becoming so comfortable in each other's presence to the point where they allowed themselves to be vulnerable and voice their fears and worries around each other. luz calling hunter family and hunter truly letting his emotions out and letting himself cry next to another person for the first time in, like… EVER…….. HHHGHGHGHHH !!!!!

there's just so many factors to their dynamic, i love it so much....

but just in general, i love all the different relationships hunter has with everyone so much. emerald trio and all the distinctive dynamics within it... GAHHHHH hunter and gus, hunter and willow, willow and gus; they're all so unique and independently interesting and built upon, which makes the whole trio just WORK, so naturally. they're best friends, they're the trio ever, they care abt each other... ugh. LOVE THEM. you don't understand how much emerald trio brainrot i've got, they torment me on a daily basis.

hunter and gus... labyrinth brothers... they've got such fun, supportive friendship. both treated as "prodigies" of sort, both knowing what it's like to feel naive or used. both just wanting the best for one another. nerds (affectionate), i love them sm...

huntlow, how well they fit together and how supportive they are of one another... they just work so well because they're truly equals, their relationship is full of understanding and respect, but also comfort, and silliness. they're silly! and fun! and they get each other, and comfort/protect each other when the other truly needs it, just- ughhgh the bi4pan couple ever...... they're so good.

gus and willow, how they were each other's first ever friend (willow was gus' first genuine friend and gus was willow's first friend ever since amity suddenly broke it off with her)... how they've been inseparable since they met and know each other so well.

emerald trio, man

i love the potential of hunter and amity's dynamic as well; he may not be as close with her as he is with other members of hexsquad but there's stuff that they just get abt each other's home/family situations. them having this... playful/bickery dynamic at times but still being able to have serious, comforting conversations abt things they both relate to when they need to >>>> (also no, they wouldn't genuinely hate each other, and amity wouldn't ever threaten hunter or hold a grudge cuz of what happened at eclipse lake, like some ppl seem to think; that's not what their canon interactions or personalities suggest to us at all)

hunter and vee's dynamic also had SOOOO much potential, i will forever mourn that we didn't get to see it on-screen cuz of the shortening. ugh... the complex nature of hunter having been the golden guard and vee also having had a very traumatizing past related to the emperor's coven. her being distrustful of hunter at first, being uneasy in his presence; hunter also feeling guilty solely cuz of his past involvement in the emperor's coven and staying away from vee himself, in order not to make her more uncomfortable. then, slowly, gradually, them becoming friends... hunter assuring vee he isn't going to hurt her; vee noticing that some of hunter's behaviors are worrying (like maybe him flinching when camila raises her hand a little too fast near him, or him saying sth deeply disturbing that he considers normal, etc etc); them talking... vee finding out what hunter's life at the emperor's coven was actually like, what his relationship with belos was like. them realizing they actually have a lot in common, that they were both mistreated by belos, both his victims. getting to know each other and being supportive of each other's experiences. i could even imagine that hunter could tell vee that he's a grimwalker at some point, before ttt, making her the second person to know. if she expressed sth abt being one of the few last remaining basilisks or belos' experiment, or a species brought back from the dead, hunter would want to show that he sympathizes by relating to her, cuz that's how he shows he cares and understands. and the thing that relates him to this the most is his grimwalker identity. and so they could talk abt it too, maybe... (and the stakes here wouldn't be as high as sharing his secret to willow and gus was to hunter, since he was truly afraid of being rejected there; he thought he'd lose his best friends forever if they knew the truth abt him)

hunter and darius' dynamic..... gah. there's so much complexity and nuance here, so much potential to explore their past as well as future. with darius taking hunter in, there's definitely a LOT they must've worked on during those first few months. there's this specific trauma that has come from their stay in the coven, the specific ways in which this hostile environment had affected their behaviours and the way they both acted... that's definitely not sth that was just automatically dealt with, they had to work through that.

we know darius cared abt and respected his mentor a lot, so much to the point where he thought hunter wasn't worthy to be the next golden guard and was taking that feeling out on him, thinking he didn't deserve to inherit such important title after the previous GG's death; didn't rly respect or care abt hunter until any sport in a storm. i feel like darius definitely had a lot of guilt abt the way he treated hunter in the past, so moving forward he really tried his best, especially since hunter's had this deep need to impress him and make him proud and all. he wanted that kid to have a good life and to stay safe. we know their relationship has progressed throughout the rest of season 2, with the implication of them growing closer and spending more time together, but even as of watching & dreaming, it all definitely wasn't just sunshine and rainbows + darius rly didn't have much experience in being a parent. but he tried his best, darius (and eberwolf) definitely did everything in their power so that hunter could have the best possible environment to live in, and eventually they've worked through this complicated past and post-coven habits, and made their living space a comfortable home... made sure to always be supportive to hunter, to accomodate his needs, made sure he isn't overworking himself or trying to "earn" the right to live with them; made sure that he's flourishing and taking care of himself and being a kid. made sure he feels loved and safe and sleeps well and hgghh yeah....... also, thinking abt darius and hunter sharing that experience of grief, abt darius teaching hunter how to sew, abt how darius sent hunter on that mission to "keep luz safe" to keep him away from the danger of the day of unity... man!!!! (i do wish we'd seen their relationship progress and develop on-screen more though, rather than in the background/through subtext... but h)

hunter and camila's relationship is also... SO precious to me. the fact that during their first meeting, she made sure to let him know he doesn't have to be overly respectful to her, that they're on an equal ground; he kneeled and she told him to never do that again. hunter's stay at camila's was the first time he was under long-term care of an adult who truly cared abt his well-being. lots of it was probably so confusing to him, cuz of how different it was from his relationship dynamic with belos, and it was definitely trial-and-error in many instances, and it was a while until these more healthy habits started to feel more natural to hunter, but it also made him feel loved. apprecciated. safe. i just know camila was always just... so patient with hunter. never raised a hand at him, made sure he'd never fear her, didn't let him overwork himself... she taught him how to use a sewing machine, told him all abt wolves. she definitely picked up on some of hunter's behaviours and deduced what it meant regarding his family past, and tried her best to make him feel comfortable. just!!!!! the fact that this was the first time where hunter truly felt cared for, where he lived in safe conditions..... GAHghghhhh (thinks abt the scrapped ttt credits idea featuring hunter helping camila out at her vet clinic. so normal abt it... i love winning... brainrot lvl 2000. man...)

there are so many more hunter dynamics that exist in my head...... hunter and raine, them being able to bond abt their (very traumatic) possession experience and their post-possession scars; raine being one of the very few ppl who seemed to have been nice to hunter in the coven, rather than cruel or dismissive of him. the fact that hunter (and dell) canonically helped fix raine's palisman after their battle with belos. GAHHHGHH...

hunter and the clawthornes; the fact that he works with dell, gwendolyn and the bat queen, that he canonically has been mentored by them!!! the fact that he and the clawthornes are in a way related but haven't discovered it yet, but are going to discover it eventually (love to imagine eda and lilith's reactions cuz this is like, comedy material). he works with them, he spends there so much time... i just know they've grown to be fond of that boy, he's like their unofficial grandson.

hunter and king, and their identity-related arcs. finding out you've been lied to your whole life and that you're the last representant of an extinct/legendary species, after thinking you were sth else all these years.... man! also the fact that king wrote one of hunter's favorite books xksjjsk AND hunter's whole...... religious trauma thing with "titan has big plans for you" versus king being an actual titan. AND the fact that king saw the uncountable piles of bones and skeletons of hunter's "family", the other golden guards, grimwalkers. do you see the vision-

even hunter and the collector! the fact that since the collector didn't understand death, they thought belos murdering all the grimwalkers and then making new ones was him just playing and then "fixing" the grimwalker, rather than actually KILLING a whole bunch of people. the collector realizing this... hunter having mixed feelings knowing how they didn't see grimwalkers (him included) as people and feeling bitter remembering how they spoke abt him with belos in the memory he'd seen in hollow mind, but also knowing they were belos' victim too, and it wasn't entirely their fault; that they know better now. sympathizing with that... the fact that both hunter and the collector have a traumatic, abusive past with belos; they were both manipulated and mistreated by him, used for his own selfish goals. it all coming together to just two kids with a complicated past who've gone through terrible things, trying to heal… hhgh

and soooo many more! i love lumity, i love raeda, i love the collector and king's friendship, the owl trio, luz and camila's dynamic, i hate-love belos and hunter's relationship cuz i love how it's written but Uggh. GOD. PAIN.... but it's written so very well. philip and caleb's dynamic is too, it's so interesting. and more! there are just so, so many good, interesting dynamics in toh, i could brainrot abt them forever...... man.

I think a lot of people should watch "Criminal Minds" plus the people who hate Belos/Philip "fans".

In this series, the criminals are generally people with a sad and suffering past. You generally feel pity and empathy for them and the series never justifies it, no matter how heartbreaking the criminal's past is, in fact, most of the criminals die or get locked up.

The same goes for those of us who like Philip Wittebane. His story IS heartbreaking, tragic and sad, but that doesn't justify his attempt to wipe out an entire island of sentient beings, and we all know that, even his fans.

I guess Dana was afraid (either that or she's stupid) to go deeper in the story of Philip. The fandom has shown that they only see things in black and white, showing a villain as complex as Philip is would blow their minds.... And they'd probably end her on Twitter and harass her or something (in fact, I think some people accused her that the emperor's coven symbol looked like the n@zi symbol, however, I wasn't that active in the fandom at the time so I can't say for sure).

Which is unfortunate, no one should be sending anyone death threats or harassing them FOR A FICTITIOUS CHARACTER much less if you don't justify their actions.

Which I find ironic because TOH is about doing the things you like, as long as you don't hurt anyone and are yourself.

I guess it's the curse of children's series.

Series with a positive message, fandom full of stupid people who project so much onto the characters that they attack those who have a different choice than their own.

Yeah...
