So, I've just finished the first season of the Owl House, and i don't understand why people like Eda and call her King's mom when she is so mean?!

In the first episode alone she pokes Hooty in the eye, and says Luz is more valuable to her alive (than dead) even though Luz is clearly scared. And she tells Luz she will only allow Luz to return home if this 14 years old helps her first. Luz clearly doesn't understand the world and its dangers, yet Eda brings her and an 8 years old Kind to a prison without even explaining the tyrannical regime and the existence of the capital punishment. Idk, the vibes are really fishy there? She doesn't even want to free the prisoners in the Conformatorium and flippantly jokes about the Warden tormenting 'some tiny creature'! The impression is that she is at best a rather uncaring and apathetic person. And, as we know, there is no such thing as character development and characters always stay the same as their first appearences, so Eda doesn't value community and hates children forever.

And people say she is a great teacher, but she doesn't even want to teach Luz in the first episode. She didn't even try to think whether Luz would be able to learn magic before making a promise to teach her. And then in episode 2 she cruelly mocks a 14 years old for believing herself to be a chosen one - even King, who is a child, lately admits it was cruel - and she never learns from her mistake because in episode 6 she claims she would never trust Luz again if Luz messes up, causing Luz anxiety to the point not only Luz but also Willow and Gus believe Eda would hurt them at the end of the episode! Yes, she says she only wants them to clean her house but why did she need to pretend to seriously threaten them?

And she never truly apologizes or [verbally flagelates herself] explains how and why she changed her mind, so I am not saying you must hate her, but we can appreciate the person she becomes later, while [only focusing on imaginary bad things about her] acknowledging all the shitty things she's done! Such as: She constantly physically and emotionally (through neglect) abuses Hooty in front of children, endorses child labor, uses wages against an elementary schooler and brags about humiliating King in episode 3, cruelly mocks Gus, Willow and the Blight kids. She even said she would let the twins die by Sleetherbeast to save herself! And kinda suspicious how she knew Odalia and Alador and so must know that they are bad parents yet doesn't try to help the Blight kids. Seems like she had been complacent in their abuse for years, don't you think?

And i am not saying that i am completely against mama Eda either, but to enjoy anything involving her and King everyone must first admit that she has been emotionally negletful and physically abusive towards King. Because King doesn't even know he is a child - that's super fucked up, right? And he doesn't have any friends and thinks demons are underappreciated - and obviously it's because Eda made him feel that way, and he acts older than his age, probably because he had to act as her personal therapist. And, yes, Eda is physically abusive too, since in the episode 4 she says she would break every bone in King's body for stealing the elixir, and that can't be an unfortunate writing choice, because we must look at the scenes in isolation and chose the worst possible interpretation of the character, and if you don't see it that way that means you can't deal with admiting your fave has flaws! Also she literally ate someone in episode 2.

But don't worry, you are alowed to like Eda as long as you are agreeing with all the bad faith interpretations of her and want her to self-flagelate and every character to hate her and talk down to her. And she must experience over the top guilt that no other character has to experience, including begging for King's forgiveness on her knees. Oh, and don't forget that you absolutely must crawl into the notes for any silly fanart of her with King to whine how she 'needed to be nicer sooner' and put your Eda bashing fics in her tag while laughing how 'mama Eda stans' must hate you now! Anyway, i am going to go make a fanwork about older King realizing what a shitty parent Eda had been and he isn't sure whether he would be able to forgive her, but it's ok, she is allowed to become a one-dimensional comfort provider as long as it brings the notes in.

[i know people in the fandom looove to be obtuse so i will spell it out: this is a parody of the way toh fandom talks about Darius (and pre-season 3 Camila too, but i based it on Darius because i look into his character tags more often). I will make a serious post, but later since i don't actually want to post too much negativity about Eda.]

Belos taunting Luz to hurt Hunter still makes me cry 😭 And I just know he would have said more if he had the chance...

[kolapon-art]

There's so much nuance to this exchange that ppl conveniently ignore just to make it black and white. We should be talking about Darius projecting and not setting aside his grief, and actually pay attention to the fact that Hunter was the one to assume.

Darius purposefully keeps things vague cause he has no desire to talk in lenght about this, it's obvi his mentor is an extremely sour topic thats the crux of the issues between them, issues that gets tackled later.

Also extremely baffled at the fact people assume Darius was being ableist toward Hunter. The exact exchange is:

Darius: I knew your predecessor, one of the strongest witches I've ever known. But you? Mmmm. Hunter: But... Belos says I don't need magic to serve the coven. Darius: And I say you don't deserve to wear that patch.

Hunter is the one who brings up his own lack of magic, not Darius. Take into account Darius' mentor was the previous Golden Guard, aka, another grimwalker, he wouldn't have had magic, most likely he also used an artificial staff to fight.

Darius wouldn't be talking about strength in magic but strength in character. He doesn't think Hunter worthy of his mentor's patch because he thinks at this point Hunter is a nepo baby who has it easy, not because he has no magic.

Where are you all getting this from?

[kolapon-art]

The fact that this needs to be said a year later is baffling cause why do ppl think Eda had a whole arc to become a better parent. She had to improve sth and yet ppl barely aknowledge what she had to improve. Shes a good parent now but she wasnt really as good in the beginning, her trauma was largely taking over back then just as Darius' own did. Both improved and yet only one is still dragged through the mud despite continuous effort to show his care.

Makes you think why, hmm (we all know why)

I often feel like I'm gonna sound like a broken cassette and that this is too obvious and yet I get unpleasantly surprised every time.

Once again, friendly reminder that Darius' job was being a Coven Head, not "bullying Hunter all day". Palisman logs confirmed he ignored him, pretty much like everybody else (except some of the other Coven Heads DID pick on Hunter, physically pushing him around even) because Hunter was NOT his responsibility at the time and he did not know Hunter was being abused. Where do you all even get that, seriously...

The Any Sport in a Storm outburst was so obviously about Darius' issues with his mentor's disappeareance/death. But maybe I shouldn't say "obviously" since I don't think people process that unless they think about him for more than five minutes before hurrying to say he's shitty. It's not a justification, but people act as if he had been rude to Hunter just because it was in his calendar.

And then sometimes people dislike Darius via "vibes" and the vibes are racism lmao. Tell me where's this energy for Eda, aka another adult who didn't want to warm up to a kid and made mistakes to end up a good parent, who even told King once she would "break every bone in his body". Like we all know she didn't mean it and she wouldn't but she had been raising King since he was a baby??? If Darius had done that, the fandom would have torn him apart.

It doesn't escape me what the difference is between Eda and Darius.

🧵 Taking Hunter in has changed a lot of things in Darius' life and a change in his wardrobe was one of them.

After all, he noticed that Hunter liked his hair ruffles even more when he wasn't wearing his gloves.

Wanted to draw some wavy hair Amity so here's an edit and also in my style 💜

hunter finally getting some sleep in the human realm 💖 and yes, the kids placed the pals on top of him so he's less likely to get up

[kolapon-art]

Agreeing with this about the "wont be a responsible guardian to a teenager right off the bat" part but also Darius is too worried for Hunter after any sport to be in any way this nonchalant 😭 I feel like hes gonna be more of a nervous mess than anything else and kinda struggling with that

After all this is same man who almost pushed Raine down when hunter was mentioned in HM, same man who INSISTED Hunter go with his friends in COTH and same man who after months of being a puppet, his first thought was to go and find Hunter

i would like to stress that this is 100% not a criticism and i am on board w post-canon Dadrius. but i also do not think that Darius 'fake kidnapped a group of teenagers and refused to tell them they weren't being kidnapped for real for no clear reason' Deamonne is gonna be a responsible guardian to a teenager right off the bat. sorry.
