The Owl House As Textposts: Part 1

[100frogsinatrenchcoat]

Ok so it is known I am a huge fan of Belos because I am talking about him often. Baffled by fandom conversations about Belos not getting enough sympathy/forgiveness when the Collector went up to him, forgave him, and then turned around and Belos shot a giant death beam at their back. On the meta side, like, I don't think they made Belos pure evil in the end, I think Belos's feelings (which are . shown and addressed, we get scenes of him talking to Caleb the episode before, and TTT does a lot for his backstory), ultimately do not matter because his negative impact on the world negates any reason to care about them. Belos can have childhood trauma and also him committing genocide kinda stops making us care about that in the long run. That's why I think Papa tells Luz it doesn't matter. It's not that Belos's past doesn't effect his actions, it literally means that no matter what Caleb did or didn't do 300+ years ago, Belos is committing genocide NOW. It's really not insane to say his opinion/motive doesn't matter anymore, like you cannot repeatedly harm people and still expect anyone to care about why you're doing it.

I also think it's pretty telling that a pretty loud group of people have been on about this for years now. Belos has a more traditional protagonist story and he's a skinny white man with blue eyes. Belos is a subversion of traditional tropes/pro-colonial narratives/hero stories which makes him very cool but also I think the way people act like he's helpless or he shouldn't be held accountable, is a result of systemic sexism and popular white supremacy narratives. Belos didn't get a "hear me out" at the end because he already had one, he's had it for hundreds of years, and the Owl House attempts to topple colonial narratives rather than support them.

Also, you can just watch or read anything from the thousands of years backlog of stories that have people like Belos as the protagonist. The Owl House centers a neurodivergent girl of color and other characters who have traditionally villain roles (ei. Eda as the evil witch in the woods, King as a power-hungry demon). Yeah they're fighting the traditional "im gonna save my family and stop the evil demons" white man. that's the point.

Pros of watching a playthrough instead of playing myself:

- no fights

- edits out long periods of walking/repeating boss fights

- calming voice

- can draw while I watch

- getting content in bite-size pieces every few days, making the story last longer

Cons

- OUGHHH I WANR TO LOOK AT POSTS SO BAD OUGHHH MY MUTUALS ARE DELTARUNEPOSTING AND I CANNOUT PAIN SUFFERING AGONY AUGHHHH

- it’s gonna be a while before i can watch the weird route content

Why isn't "too scary" a good enough reason to never drive a car
