Here's the Boiling Isles succession rules. I'm using this for all 3 of my AUs that take place on the Boiling Isles, but I'll put it in the context of the Raven Empress AU.

Succession rules (According to Boiling Isles law, extremely simplified):

Emperor's spouse

Emperor's eldest child (or nephew, in this case)

Golden Guard (Tristan, deceased)

Head of the Emperor's Coven (Lilith Clawthorne)

Since Belos wasn't married, the previous Golden Guard was killed (Tristan), and Hunter was 2 when he died. Lilith took over as Hunter's Regent for the first year of her reign. (Also to be clear, Lilith didn't marry Belos. She just happened to be leader of the Emperor's Coven at the time of Belos' death.)

I just published Beginning of a New Diary of my story Ascension of a Raven Empress, which is a companion story to Diary of a Raven Empress. It does contain some spoilers for the Canon Timeline, but they're pretty minor. Along with mentions of a character death of a child (Tristan, he's referred to as Philip in this chapter btw. She doesn't know that he changed his name), and grief.

Different Experiences

Hi everyone, So this is more a thought than a theory but it is linked to my “Amity’s Parents” theory. Basically, I suspect Amity’s parents won’t be accepting of the fact she is a lesbian and that combined with her choice of partner - Luz, a human - could see her being kicked out of her parental home.

I kinda want this to happen. While Disney has only just began to delve into LGBT representation, in shows such as “Andi Mack” and “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” we have situations where everyone is very supportive and no one bats an eyelid. In “SVTFOE”, while Marco was never expressly confirmed as trans it is safe to say the Diazs would have been accepting of them. I don’t think anyone in the “SVTFOE” fandom would disagree with me there. And while this is all representative of an ideal world, it isn’t necessarily representative of reality.

Due to my Mum not accepting me, I ran away from home at 17. This wasn’t me being impulsive. The local authority I live in, the LGBT youth group I went to and my Catholic school all agreed I needed to be removed from my Mum’s care when I was 15. The process took 2 years and I was eventually moved into a bedsit. My present roommate similarly had to runaway from her parental home. I sadly know the reality of what it is like when your parents don’t accept you, all to well.

Now Disney, has lately been pretty good at exploring difficult issues. For example in “Andi Mack”, you had Andi finding out her “sister” Bex is in fact her mother and her “parents” are in fact her grandparents.

LGBT representation is great but I think it has to be representative of different experiences. Being LGBT isn’t easy in the present day and for Disney to paint it that way would be wrong. The society we live in makes it difficult.

And I think “The Owl House” is in a great position to show two sides of the LGBT experience. Unaccepting parents and accepting parents.

We have two canonically confirmed LGBT characters in “The Owl House”. Luz is confirmed by Dana Terrace to be bisexual and Amity, the show speaks for itself regarding her but Dana also confirms she is intended to be a lesbian.

While Luz’s mom may have sent her off to camp, it is pretty evident what she has done, has come from a place of love. She wants Luz to not be too buried in fantasy to the point that she can’t tell the difference between that and reality. Overall, from what I have seen of Luz’s mom so far, I think she would accept Luz with open arms. And I may revise my view on this in future but I think that is what will happen. And hey look, I guess there is a theory in all this. As I said, I just write and see what comes out XD

However, I think with Amity’s parents we will get a very different reaction. We have two people who seem very bogged down in status and maintain a particular image. They already seem very adverse to difference. And Amity has an entire hideout in the library, which say what you will, to me suggests a home life where she doesn’t feel comfortable having much expression of herself. In fact I may rewatch an “Enchanting Grom Fight” and “Lost in Language” to analyse the differences between Amity’s room at home and Amity’s hideout in the library. Because I suspect there are some rather extreme differences. I maybe wrong however.

And from my perspective, Amity’s parents also strike me as sinister and they are very evidently controlling. @ultraobsidian also recently shared with me a theory, that she suspects Amity’s parents provided Lilith the curse that she placed on Eda. She points out, during the fight to join the Emperor’s Coven there are two individuals in the crowd matching Amity’s parents description and they are smiling as if everything is going to plan.

So you also have two very controlling people, who have a clearly laid out plan. They are also controlling in the fact that Amity is forced to dye her hair cos her mom likes her children to match.

Also I wonder how much of it is Amity’s plan to join the Emperor’s Coven and how much of it is her parents expectations. She expresses way back in “Convention” how hard she has to work at her craft, how much pressure is upon her. How she has to go down this path.

I wonder if Amity’s parents have the same expectations about her future relationship. Maybe they already have a boy at Amity’s school in mind, who is of the right social standing and status. Oh God, I could easily see it being Mattholomule. I mean the wikia does say this about him, “a power-hungry student at Hexside. He has a history with breaking rules and getting detention often, leading to him being transferred out of his old school. Mattholomule has little interest in having real friends, and finds no problem with lying to fellow students, as long as it gets him what he wants, but he gets worried whenever there is a chance his lying could backfire or fail.”

While on the surface he may not seemingly fit this ideal person who Amity’s parents would look at as a potential suiter for their daughter. We know little about his parents and their social standing and taking from another show here, I watch “Gilmore Girls” a lot and there are throughout that, entitled rich kids such as Tristan and Logan and co who go through these patterns of being expelled from schools and transferred. And the power-hungryness, with a lil training and guidance, maybe he could be the ideal person that Amity’s parents have in mind for their daughter.

And let’s picture that everything I have said here is on the money and I think it is safe to say it is, Amity’s parents have made it clear they are willing to go to extreme lengths to maintain a certain image for their daughter, even threatening a child - Willow. These don’t seem like very adaptable people and diversion from the plan, like Amity coming out as a lesbian and being in love with a human of all creatures. Oh, I do not see her parents going, “Oh Amity, that’s great and we will always love you.” In fact if what @ultraobsidian has said is correct, I could easily see them saying, “Amity Blight! You put a stop to this nonsense now or we will make sure that human never casts a spell again.” And that I could imagine very well coming in the form of a curse.

And for now, I’m out of steam and I’m done, but my mind is still twirling with thoughts of this right now. I don’t think I’m done talking about Amity’s parents. The more I write about them, the more terrifying I find them as individuals. I could quite easily see them being main antagonists at some point in the future and you know, some theories about that are developing in my mind. So stay tuned.

I can't remember if I've posted this on Tumblr, but I have posted it on Wattpad. So here's some Raven Empress AU!TOH crack. It's basically some out of context spoilers, so I'm putting it under the cut.

[unicornlovers10]

OK so I published the first chapter of Diary of a Raven Empress on Wattpad for beta readers. Trigger warnings for grief and mentions of death (of a 15 year old BTW).

What’s the premise of this AU?

Belos dies several years before Luz steps foot on the Boiling Isles, and Lilith becomes Hunter’s Regent for the first 6 months of her reign, due to some extremely convoluted succession rules.

(To be clear, Lilith didn’t marry Belos. She just happened to be head of the Emperor’s Coven at the time of Belos’s death.)

What are the succession rules on the Boiling Isles?

These are the succession rules according to Boiling Isles law, they’re extremely simplified.

1) Emperor’s spouse

2) Emperor’s eldest child (or nephew, in this case)

3) Golden Guard (Tristan, deceased)

4) Head of the Emperor’s Coven (Lilith Clawthorne)

Since Belos wasn’t married, the previous Golden Guard was killed (Tristan), and Hunter was 2 when he died. Lilith initially took over as Hunter’s Regent for the first 6 months of her reign.

Is Belos a Bastard in this AU?

Yes.

What are the ships in this AU?

The main ships in this AU are Huntric (Hunter Clawthorne x Edric Blight), Lumity (Luz Noceda x Amity Blight), and Raeda (Raine Whispers x Eda Clawthorne). There will be other ships as well, but I will put them here as soon as I figure out what ships will be in this AU.

When did this AU diverge from Canon?

Technically this AU diverged from the Canon Timeline around 400 years before the show proper, but I can’t share too many details, as it has something to do with Hunter and Corvin. Although from Hunter and Lilith’s perspective, this AU diverged when Belos died.

(This AU is still developing BTW. So some of the exact details might change here and there.)
