#Circus animals

When zebras and camels roam the streets of New York, it can mean only one thing: the circus is in town. Just off the train from winter quarters in Florida, the animals make their way west on East 49th Street to Madison Square Garden, April 3, 1942 for the opening of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Places: The Circus

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

Return to the Circus AU I thought up a while back

Now that I look at it, Blitz really shouldn't be turning her neck like that. Not safe

But to be around circus animals…to look after them, to love them and be loved…that, I missed.

Jumbo, “The King of Elephants” was tragically killed when he was struck by a Grand Trunk Locomotive in St. Thomas Ontario, on September 15th, 1885. In 1985 on the 100th anniversary of Jumbo's death, the City of St. Thomas dedicated a 38 ton statue as a tribute to the most famous elephant who ever lived.

Expanding on the carnival episode on the Circus Animals AU

I assume that Amity didn't know about the circus business at first, because otherwise I would think she'd be appalled by what Hunter and Luz went through there and not antagonize them over it. Maybe she only learns exactly why Hunter and Luz are living with Eda in the first place… at the carnival? Like, Lilith is involved with Tibbles in his scheme! Kind of, Tibbles has offered his carnival as a way to set up Eda for capture.

He doesn't tell her about the Ringmaster, just that he'll keep Eda's "kids" distracted while she and Amity haul Eda away. So The Owl House goes to the carnival, Amity is directed to lure the kids away from Eda so Lilith can confront her. She does that, taunting and egging them on into chasing her to a tent Tibbles pointed out to her earlier. Kids arrive at tent, Ringmaster is there and captures them. Luz and Hunter scream and cling to each other. Willow and Gus try to protect them, but get neutralized.

The Ringmaster thanks Amity for her help and tells her to go find Lilith, she's no longer needed here. Luz cries and pleads for Amity to help them, just don't leave them in the Ringmasters clutches! Amity is indecisive, Lilith told her that nobody would get hurt if everything went according to plan, but the terror on Luz and Hunter's faces is real and Willow and Gus looked totally panicked before they got knocked out… Just as the Ringmaster turns toward Luz with a snarl, Amity bolts.

Meanwhile, Lilith and Eda have been duking it out. When suddenly, Eda hears Hunter and Luz start screaming! Of course she immediately reacts, which finally gives Lilith the opening that she needs to take Eda down. Eda freaks naturally, demanding that "Lily" release her from her bonds right away, doesn't she hear the kids crying for her? They're in danger! Lilith dismisses her sister's concerns, "assuring" her that she's been told that the children will be fine.

Tibbles makes his appearance then, merrily telling Eda that Hunter and Luz at least will finally be with somebody who "knows their true value". Eda sees through the euphemism right away, which starts to kick the owl curse into gear. As Lilith struggles to control her sister, Amity appears. Lilith is relieved and orders Amity to help her. Amity pleads for Lilith's attention, something doesn't feel right here! Lilith brushes off what she's trying to say, briskly telling her that they'll talk later- After Eda is secure within the Conformatorium.

Amity spots Tibbles sneaking away… Looking between her mentor and the tent where Luz and Co are, Amity realizes that she has a decision to make. She can either go along with Lilith and arrest Eda (Assuring her of a place within the Emperor's Coven.) or she can free Eda and help her rescue the others from Tibbles/The Ringmaster's greedy grasp. (Which would put an end to her and Lilith's mentorship altogether.)

Of course she chooses to free Eda, murmuring a "Sorry" to Lilith she aims a blast of magic at Eda's restraints. Hitting jusssssst the right spot to make the whole thing fall apart. Eda is free! Lilith is astounded! Eda doesn't waste time and races towards the kids, with Amity following close behind. Lilith struggles to keep up naturally. When they burst into the tent, they come across quite the scene. Willow and Gus are awake and are have been tied up together, Tibbles and The Ringmaster are haggling over them!

Ringmaster was impressed by Gus's strength as an Illusionist at such a young age, while Willow's extensive use of plant magic also caught his attention. Since he's apparently in the business of exploiting unusual kids, he wants to add them to his circus! Tibbles would prefer to keep Gus and Willow for himself (He's got a bone to pick with them), but he's open to any offers. Meanwhile, Luz is huddled in Hunter's lap. Her face is slack with tears and she's nursing a scratch on one of her cheeks.

Poor Hunter is completely dissociating, just staring blankly ahead with his arms wrapped around Luz. All hell proceeds to break lose. Eda lunges towards her kids, Willow and Gus make a move to break free of their bonds, Tibbles barely manages to dodge out of the way of an angry Mama Owl, while The Ringmaster makes the foolhardy mistake of getting between said angry Mama Owl and her Owlets and Lilith loudly demands to know what in the name of The Titan is going on!

Really, it's just a mess.

Magic is flying everywhere, people are shouting, arguing and screaming... and Amity is just standing there in stunned silence. Drowning in guilt, this isn't something that she's proud of to have caused.

Eventually Eda gets away with the kids. Tibbles has disappeared. The Ringmaster is on the ground, maybe dead, maybe not. Lilith is standing in the center of the tent, bemoaning that yet another chance to capture her sister has been lost. She never should've trusted a damn carnie, but don't think she's forgotten what you did Amity Blight, she's extraordinary disappointed in her and won't be continuing her apprenticeship...

Amity barely hears any of this. She just takes one look at Lilith before turning around and walking away. Lilith is at a loss of course, before finally sighing and deciding to just go back to the Emperor's castle. Amity keeps on walking and she doesn't stop until she gets to The Owl House. Hooty eats her as previously promised, but he dutifully pellets her up after Eda hears the commotion and tiredly asks him to do so.

Eda... isn't happy to see her. Actually, she can barely believe her eyes! After all of that, she choosing to show her face around here? Amity just trudges to where Luz and the rest of the kids are laying together on the couch. She and Luz lock eyes. Amity opens her mouth...

And falls sobbing and sprouting apologies into Luz's arms. Luz, after regaining some semblance of self, cups Amity's face and tells her that she forgives her. Amity continues to cry as Luz brings her in for a hug. Which the other kids end up joining. Eda, exhausted and somehow barely surprised by this most recent turn of events, just walks into the kitchen to make more hot cocoa.

And that everyone, is how Amity Blight realized that she was in love with Luz Noceda in the Circus Animals AU.

💥 Emmy slapping Rau’s ass

"Yes the Circus is in full operation sir."

One of his masked workers spoke checking off this and that on a list of things that needed to be checked doing exactly that. The masked troll spotted the little clownette while flipping through the pages his master obviously hadn't noticed, so much for being a feared hunter though the masked minion would never say such .

"After that we will have to check the lions d-ENS!!." He yelled in surprise as he felt the sharp sting against his rear making the Ringleader spin around fast. "DAMN OT EMMBER!!!." Rau growled catching the little clownette holding her by the back of her top. "Excuse me one moment." With that the Ringleader watched to the high fence that surprinded the Circus impaling the fabric of her top onto it making the little female hang there.

"Stay." Rau ordered his finger pointing at the ground moments before heading back to the masked troll.
