The Owl House As Textposts, Part 12

[mymanyfandomramblings]

i said the other day I might have to show you guys my TOH next-gen kiddos, right? well I'm following through with that! Here are The Kiddos, the future Hexsquad! All the art was done by @staywithmegoatkatniss

Going in age order, oldest to youngest:

[ALT TEXT:

Millie Noceda

FULL NAME: Millie Azura Noceda

Named after Camila and also Mildred Featherwhyle

Has a smaller bile sac than your average witch, and as such, tires easily and runs her magic down quickly

Extremely enthusiastic when it comes to solving mysteries, and academically brilliant. She is, however, somewhat lacking common sense.

Loves history

VERY indecisive

Prone to meddling in other people’s business, and trying to solve their problems

Is determined to use abomination tech to invent time travel

She’s the older twin and VERY vocal about it

Grudgby star

Hexside Tracks: Abominations, Oracle, Potions

[ALT TEXT

Eddie Noceda

FULL NAME: Eddie Manuel Noceda

Named ‘Eddie’ after both Eda and also Edric and Emira. His middle name is after Luz’s dad.

Millie’s younger twin brother

Like his sister, his smaller-than-average bile sac results in him having less magic to spare.

He lacks the usual analytical skills necessary for Construction and Abomination magic, but he uses Illusions to help visualise what he wants to create

He’s a very hands-on person

Loves adventure and has zero survival instincts at all. As such, he’s constantly getting himself into scrapes

Considers himself and Millie to be Edric and Emira’s successors.

He and King are besties

Hexside Tracks: Abominations, Illusions, Constructions

End Alt text]

[ALT TEXT

Clementine Park

FULL NAME: Clementine Lupin Park

She’s a year younger than Eddie and Millie

Like her cousins, having one parent with no bile sac has ramifications for her magical abilities, resulting in her being quite a late bloomer, and even once her magic does develop, her proficiency is limited to healing magic. She is, however, very good at healing.

She’s a very nurturing person, and makes it her business to look after her cousins—who are constantly in trouble

She’s secretly Camila’s favourite granddaughter—unsurprising, considering how much they have in common

She loves looking after abandoned palismen

She does occasionally get fed up with being the ‘‘responsible one” of her cousins.

Hexside Track: Healing

[ALT TEXT:

FULL NAME: Julius Freddie Porter

As a result of being half-human (his mom was human), Julius’s bile sac takes until witch puberty to develop, meaning no magic for him just yet, and as such, attends school in the human realm for now. He’s a very adept glyph user, though.

Always wears hats to hide that he has one round ear and one pointed ear--something he is very insecure about

He’s been raised between the human and demon realm, and having an ambassador and freelance travel writer for parents means that his family has never stayed in the same place long.

In between all the moving as well as losing his mother at four years old, Julius has developed some attachment issues. He’s also quietly quite resentful towards his father for his upbringing and the fact that he doesn’t feel like he fits into either realm. He also has a surprisingly morbid sense of humour

He’s an extremely curious and academic kid

Five years younger than Clementine

Plans to study potions because it plays well to his analytical strengths, and also because it works if his powers never come through. He wants to do beastkeeping so the cousins have a full complement.

Future Hexside Tracks: Potions, Beastkeeping

[ALT TEXT:

Jack Park

FULL NAME: Jack Bailey Park

Named after Flapjack

Is ten years younger than Clementine (he was a surprise!)

Has a galderstone heart, which has caused his bile sac to develop in weird and wonderful ways—his magic presents from very young and is very strong and also extremely intuitive. Even he hasn’t fully figured out how to control it.

A total bookworm—he can usually be found up a tree, with a book. He particularly loves Cosmic Frontier

Has been climbing trees since he could walk—he freaks his parents out that way, but thanks to his affinity with plants, he’s never fallen.

Extremely chill. The chillest kid you will ever meet.

He has a beautiful singing voice

Future Hexside Tracks: Plants, Bard

There they are! Feel free to ask questions--they all come with more detailed backstories and info.

(and yes, Millie and Eddie are Lumity kids, Clementine and Jack are Huntlow kids, and Julius is a Gus x OC kid, if you couldn't tell)

100% worth giving myself a buzz cut to be able to cosplay this twerp so I could take refference photos to draw from.

I think she is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. It’s because she looks like a protagonist character from Studio Ghibli. And I love Miyazaki style!

[mymanyfandomramblings]

I just think they're neat, yknow?

edit: I FORGOT I MADE A TIKTOK TOO HERE

DISNEY WEEK :3

I decided to draw Matt as Gaston while I was watching Beauty and the Beast. In addition, they have the same mbti and also vibe XD REAL MAN'S!

[mymanyfandomramblings]

my LEAST favourite thing about Mattholomule's character design is that there's no consistency as to which side his chipped tooth is on!! and it is bugging me!!!

my favourite thing about Mattholomule's character design is how drastically different he looks the second he's not smirking or mad. he goes from 'obnoxious' to 'young. innocent. but a child' so quickly the second he drops the smirk and i love that.

[mymanyfandomramblings]

fun fact: the statements “what queen coral did to her daughters was objectively wrong and stripped them of a normal childhood” and “queen coral lost almost all of her family and only made the harnesses out of desperation” can, and should, coexist. explanation ≠ excuse !!

.

[mymanyfandomramblings]

so. I was locating screencaps as I must, to keep @thememecoven supplied with good-quality memes, and along the way I realized that in one specific episode, a certain character had SUCH a good array of facial expressions, I had to create a compilation.

presenting the For The Future Matt Face collection:

shout-out to this complete loser and the MVP of For The Future, the man(tholomule), the myth and the legend himself. the boy who in the space of one episode revealed that he was capable of pulling off reasonably sophisticated illusion tricks and also using marker to give himself fake stubble, which he proceeded to smudge. capable of helping run a postapocalyptic teenage society, incapable of identifying that the girl he's been flirting with is a robot, and is entirely undeterred by this revelation.

character of all times, methinks.

The Owl House As Textposts Part 10

[mymanyfandomramblings]

One of the funny things I’ve recently realized after browsing old TOH posts is that the whole idea of the ‘Luz and Hunter are siblings’ dynamic feels like almost entirely a creation of the fandom. Not only that, but a dynamic that was created basically by accident.

Consider for a moment just when and WHY fans actually started the ‘Luz and Hunter are siblings’ idea: It wasn’t in the wake of King’s Tide or after Hollow Mind when Luz and Hunter start really becoming friends, it was following Hunting Palismans. AKA, the episode where the mysterious ‘Golden Guard’ is revealed to be the show’s resident ‘edgy bad-boy with a sad backstory’ named Hunter, and also established that despite what he may think at the time, him and Luz are definitely going to be friends sooner or later.

In other words, the fandom’s idea that ‘Luz and Hunter are siblings’ started mainly as pushback against shipping those two and more notably, any theories/claims that Luz and Hunter might end up together in the show. As in, right after Hunting Palismans released, you can find a ton of posts that amount to ‘THEY’RE LIKE SIBLINGS DAMMIT!’ as fans try to get ahead of any ideas people might start getting that Luz and Hunter might be some endgame couple.

Now of course, in should have been pretty clear even when Hunting Palismans released that ‘Lunter’ was NEVER going to be an actual thing in the show. Like I’ve always commended the foresight of Dana Terrace and her crew for making sure that Amity was FIRMLY locked-in as Luz’s love-interest before they let Luz anywhere near the show’s resident ‘edgy bad-boi with a sad backstory in need of a redemption-arc’.

But for me, the funny this looking back on all this in hindsight; this presenting that Luz and Hunter are going to be like siblings as pushback against any theories that they were going to end up together romantically nonetheless made the same underlying assumption about where Hunter’s character was going: 

That he’d end up being this super-close friend and ally to Luz and that she’d be the one facilitating his redemption arc, ala Aang to Zuko or any other case of ‘hero(ine) redeems rival and they become best friends’.

And of course what makes that so funny is the fact that this DIDN’T actually happen, at least not in the way most of us were expecting. Yes, Hunter did end up being A close friend and ally to Luz, but the people who he’s actually closest to and the one who really drove and facilitated his redemption arc wound up being Willow and Gus!

In conclusion, the whole idea of ‘Luz and Hunter are siblings’ dynamic feels like one of those cases of a fandom coming up with an assumption about where characters might be going, and then forgetting that they were the ones who originally came up with it while the show itself does something else.

And also, Hunter is WAY more of an older brother to GUS than he is to Luz, and frankly I think we need more recognition of that fact XD

Wild Magic (Now Complete)

Wild Magic (71608 words) by justmelovinbooks [AO3]

Chapters: 18/18 Fandom: The Owl House (Cartoon) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Hunter/Willow Park, Hunter & Luz Noceda, Luz Noceda & Willow Park, Amity Blight/Luz Noceda, Amity Blight & Willow Park, Amity Blight & Hunter, Hunter & Gus Porter, Willow Park & Gus Porter, Hunter | The Golden Guard & Philip Wittebane Hunter | The Golden Guard & Camila Noceda

Other notes: A Huntlow-centric slowburn band AU, with a big focus on mental health recovery and a lot of angst and hurt/comfort and lots of music (full summary below)

Summary:

Willow Park never imagined herself getting anywhere with music--after all, the memories of her disastrous fifth-grade cello recital haunt her--however, thanks to the persuasion of her friends, and a lucky encounter at the Summer Talent show, she's now the bassist for a band that's just been signed to label--a band that still doesn't have a name. Although things are starting to go well for her, she can't help but be haunted by the fears and insecurities that run deep.

Hunter Wittebane has been working in the music industry for as long as he can remember, and he's known throughout the biggest recording company in the country for being a teen genius songwriter--a position that is jeopardised by the creative rut he seems to have fallen into. When a research assignment leads him towards a weird little teen band (which STILL doesn't have a name!), little does he know how much his life is about to be turned upside down.

​

[mymanyfandomramblings]

it's done. the band au is totally done. all eighteen chapters are complete.

The Owl House As Textposts, Part Nine

[mymanyfandomramblings]

the Huntlow dynamic in Labyrinth Runners is just so...mwah! it's so important to me.

there's just something about Hunter--the genius teen prodigy, highly trained child soldier, right hand man of the Emperor--looking at a schoolgirl who has always been seen as 'weak' (and even the people who care about her don't believe in her fully--see Amity during this episode) and saying 'she would never be scared of me. she is the captain, she is strong and capable and she wouldn't be scared of me.' Hunter voices absolute faith that Half-A-Witch Willow wouldn't back down from the Golden Guard, and I think that's beautiful.

And meanwhile, you have Willow looking at the boy who, just a few weeks ago, betrayed her trust and sold her and her friends out to the Emperor's Coven, and she chooses to say 'I trust him.' No-one has ever just trusted Hunter before--he's always been The Golden Guard, the Emperor's right-hand-man, and as such, even when people have treated him kindly, it's always been with a big grain of salt, and he's always had to throw their kindness back in their face because serving the Emperor came first, and during Labyrinth Runners, Hunter himself is coming to terms with the fact that he's been living a lie and serving a monster. And now the first person ever just to treat him like a friend, only to have her kindness repaid with betrayal is looking at him and saying 'he may be the Golden Guard, but he is my friend, and I trust him.' This is particularly notable because Willow has been hurt badly by people she considered friends in the past, and she still chooses to take a chance on Hunter.

it's just so sweet, I love it.
