[Image description: digital art of Hunter and King from The Owl House. The first drawing has two panels, and shows Hunter holding King upside down by the leg. King is flailing at first, labeled: "Throwing a tantrum," while Hunter has an unimpressed expression and is labeled: "waiting."

An arrow shows time passing, to when King is still dangling in the air but has fallen asleep. Hunter is smiling fondly. He's wearing a Linkin Park shirt.

The second image shows several disconnected scenes. In one, King is curled up on Hunter's chest as both of them sleep in bed. In the next, King is crawling on Hunter's head, looking mischievous. Hunter's reaching up towards him, looking angry. He wears a Shadow the Hedgehog shirt.

Lastly, there's an uncolored drawing of Hunter in his pajamas with King in his lap. Hunter's reading to King from a book, and Hooty is curled up around them, sleeping peacefully. End ID.]

Some comics

I only just realized through this amazing fanart by @adilia-the-kouhai that jinu wrote his letters to rumi using calligraphy with an actual brush and ink HELP this man really is 400 years old and it shows hahaha

i should mention that Hunter is crazy obsessive because he was withdrawn from practically all communication in the castle. Belos tried a different approach, not letting his Grimwalker have any connection to another witch in hopes that he would feel indifferent with them (that definitely works). i’m not sure where that part came from but i’m thinking my friends and i just thought it would be funny to add that to his story, so. yeah. the guy is desperate for attention and love but can’t ask for it in a healthy or normal way.

Willow feels tons of guilt about almost every action she makes but is convinced she can’t grow as a person so she doesn’t try to fix herself. it’s a clear indication that she’s ashamed when she’s nice or assures Hunter that she loves him. luckily that’s enough attention to keep Hunter’s deprived care at bay, and it makes Willow feel better about herself.

in a weird way they’re perfect together and they’re willing to be just enough for each other. it is love that they both feel—whether it’s worthwhile or not is up to interpretation.

HTP; Ghoul Lore Audio Log Spoilers/Analysis/Discussion

Dude holy shit uh Spoiler barrier and then all in cause

Okay Okay fuck where to begin this episode literally changes everything okay I guess lets start at the Draught. Based on what we know about this unique Draught, it means Grimal might not be the ghoul?? If the ghoul potentially has this Draught (which I vaguely doubt will come into play in this arc specifically) it could mean anyone could be the ghoul so long as they were only in a place without 1 other person. Atleast I assume so because if they could use this high power Dominate on multiple people simultaneously then this whole operation would be cooked from the start. While I was very mixed on the idea of Gloria as the Ghoul previously, I think its far more possible now. This high level Dominate (Lets assume 4 dots) This ghoul could have access to Rationalize or Forgetful Mind, Or any others in that category. If Grimal is was being commanded to act that could explain why everything is so suspicious around her. Have someone else go in and take care of Occam while the ghoul sits with someone else and has the perfect alibi. So now I think the possibilities for Ghoul are; 1. Grimal is the Ghoul (The Draught is a red herring and simply setting up something in a future arc instead of this current one.) 2. Gloria is the Ghoul & has this Draught; this is based more on Vibes and the fact Gloria doesn't actually do too much in part 1 outside checking Occam's pulse. If she's the ghoul and commanded someone (Namely Grimal) to attack Occam, she would have a vested interested in knowing if the attack was successful. Okay thats about it for my thoughts on the Ghoul right now. Onto the far more important bit of this episode. Because this was not simpyl a Ghoul Lore episode, THIS WAS A MARCKUS LORE EPISODE TROJAN HORSE.

But before the deep Marckus shit- Markus was 12 in 1988. Door was present and seems to be in his 20s or 30s. Boy has not been born yet and Boy is 11 in 2006 so he was born in like 1995. So I think its reasonable to place door as being in his 20s here, having Boy in his 30s. This means Door is probably 8-15? (Maybe) years older than Markus which would make him roughly 40 in modern day. D does look markedly younger in these photographs but I'm not sure if thats art style or actually because he's aged. It does put a damped on my thoughts about D being MUCH older than he seems. But we do know his previous Ex-Wife Rozalia (The Ghoul) is roughly 108 in modern day. It seems to be implied D had met & later married her after she was pretty deep into being a ghoul so there probably was a large age gap already. But it still kinda stands out to me. D is very afraid or Marckus becoming a Ghoul because he sees himself in him. I don't necessarily think D was a ghoul (thought it could explain his weird age). Thought all this might be confirmation Bias as in the more recent episodes D's hair has been more consistently colored with grey streaks when compared to earlier episodes where it was more like a sheen in his hair. It just feels like D has done too much to only be roughly in his 60-70s and very fit. While older people can certainly be in good physical condition it doesnt seem like D has suffered any real negatives from aging? He's MINIMUM 18 years older than Door who is in his 40s but again that's a low ball. I don't know. Alright time for the Marckus stuff. So its rather basic background knowledge that HTP's main cast is inspired by the cast of Warhammer 40k TTS. Now up until this point I had thought it was mostly a baseline thing. Only really carrying over personalities and vague relationships between characters while having the freedom to change them with that background knowledge. But based on this episode it appears to be more relevant.

Whatever the fuck Marckus managed to summon, It was something not even D understood. This is in directly parallel with 40k's Magnus who Marckus is based on. For those who don't know about 40k lore (I don't blame you its VERY long.), Magnus is a Primarch (Emperor's special kids) who ended up being manipulated by 40k's god of trickery and ended up fucking up literally everything because of his lack of thinking things through and the influence of said trickster god. Gods in 40k are manifestations of humanity (and alien's) collective subconscious minds and often take the forms of their most volatile negative aspects. They're entited formed from 'The Warp' which is the source of magic in 40k. Magnus is very naturally tuned to the warp. Almost all the issues in TTS (and 40k) relating to Magnus are because he has a MASSIVE complex. He craves parental affection and affirmation but in TTS every time he thinks hes denied it, some shit goes wrong. When he actually gets that parental affection (Earlier season 2 iirc) he mellows out alot until finding out the only reason the emperor (D's counterpart) brought him back was so that Magnus would act as a pawn and decoy in his 5d chess game to deal with political enemies. Magnus is not happy about this. With all this background information, whats present in this episode slots into place. Marckus seems to have forgotten about the incident yes. The better case is that he blocked out the memory due to trauma. But the worse possibility is that a seed was planted. One that's been festering within him since that time. D may be planning to tell Marckus everything in a few months, But I get the feeling before those months are up, That seed will sprout. In one form or another, Marckus will be given the option to go down the same path of darkness as his predecessor. I don't think Marckus would go for such a path without a push but the one providing that push might be D, even if unintentionally. D is so focused on the forest that he's missing the trees.

sticker of shame on top of my head that says "i turn everything i love into a monster hunter au". some boys that bite just dropped

i caught a cold and i feel pathetic so since i also think jinu would be pathetic while sick, here’s how i think it would go:

he’d be all whiny and dramatic, acting as if it’s the end of the world (“Rumi, I leave the kids in your care. They’re a reminder of the love we shared while I was alive.”)

Rumi would roll her eyes and slap a cold compress on his forehead (“It’s just a cold, you fool. Also what kids? We’re not even married, yet.”)

but she’d also blow on his food while feeding him so that it’s not too hot (“I proposed to you, though!! And you said yes!! Unless I dreamed all that, in that case I’m sorry I didn’t get to propose before I left you with my kids.”)

the bird would act like it didn’t care, but he’d still cuddle beside Jinu’s hair (“You did propose and I did say yes,” Rumi sighs, but the look on her face is fond. It makes Jinu smile too. “Also what kids?”)

the tiger (despite this being a modern au, it remians an actual tiger cause i think it would be funnier like this lmao) would also whine a lot, flopped over Jinu’s body and crushing him despite the fact that Rumi keeps chasing it away (“Them!” Jinu points to the bird and tiger, who acknowledge him with a caw and a long whine. He puts his arms around tiger’s head and hugs it even closer to his face. “Kids, your mother has forsaken you! She doesn’t love you - us anymore!”)

despite all of them being annoying, Rumi finds all of this endearing and takes photos of the three of them like this (she has a folder of them titled “my two losers + a random bird”) (“I don’t remember adopting them,” she says which makes Jinu gasp. “Now stop being an idiot and go to sleep.” She takes the tiger and bird with her and all three of them start whining. She ignores them.)

Bonus: Jinu sends a selfie of him being pathetic on the Saja boys group chat. Mystery leaves him on read, Baby Saja sends him a 👍🏼, Romance would probably scold him bc he warned him he’d get sick and then tell him “i told you so” (idk he gives me that vibe) while Abby would also send a selfie of him being sick and pathetic (in the background you can see Romance looking at his phone and Mira looking at some medicine) “brooo we’re twinsies!!!”

Bonus bonus: Rumi sends the photo she took of Jinu with the “kids” on the Huntrix + Bobby gc. Bobby would send a get well soon and probably warns Rumi to also take care of herself, Mira would send a “idiot he deserves it” (one of her own idiots is sick too probably for the same reason) and Zoey would be like “noo poor jinu” then she’d start talking about their next song.

Messing with the lore and power scaling for the bit

[quibbs126]

So I watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, I very much liked it, it was peak, and I now have the whole album because I liked all the songs

I will have to say though, one thing I didn’t particularly like was that the rest of the Saja Boys, aside from Jinu, didn’t really get anything, they were just kind of there. Hell, I don’t even think they have real names; in the variety show, Jinu was the only one using an actual name. Like what were their names, Romance, Abby, Mystery and Baby I think? Which I wouldn’t mind if Jinu also had some sort of name like that, but he didn’t, he’s using his real name, which makes the separation even more noticeable

Like I get it, it’s a 90 minute movie, there’s very little time to try and develop all 8 idols, you gotta stick with the important characters so they have enough, and I really don’t mind it in the grand scheme of things. But like they really were just there, could they have not gotten at least a little bit of anything?

witcher contract gone wrong or geralt has another bloodsucker to add to the polycule

[staytotheend]

Ok just watched Kpop Demon Hunters and I have a million thoughts but one really stuck with me (bare with me, my words aren’t wording today😭😭).

Did anyone else make the connection that the ’demons’ could be a metaphor as our own fears and insecurities? Like maybe it’s more obvious than I think but the connection between Rumi being a demon and hiding her faults connects to everyone in that we all have secrets we want to hide and aren’t proud of, but in the end they will shine through as (actually showing as a mark on Rumi’s skin).

As someone who has dealt with trauma and mental health, I understand the feeling of wanting to hide those ‘hideous’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘ugly’ marks from people.

But in the end you can’t hide them forever. They will always be seen but it’s how you deal with it and how you take it on that counts.

Another example is Zoey and Mira have those ‘voices’ in their head when the Saja Boys have their midnight performance. However, their voices are their OWN, making the connection that we all have demons inside us.

The whole concept of Kpop idols being demon hunters is so unique but I really love the extra layer they’ve put on.
