The Owl House's Ending Anniversary...

So it's officially been one whole year since The Owl House ended.

One year ago, I wondered how I would move on. How I would keep going. But I also knew I would, no matter what, because time keeps going on. Things will eventually pass, they always do, that's how so many moments and days for me have gone. Even entire periods of my life.

So I'm not surprised how things have gone on since then; I still had plenty more things to say about TOH, and I still love it just as I have. I've gotten new hyperfixations, and even returned to old ones as some of you can see with recent posts, so it's only a matter of time before TOH circles back again.

And man does it feel so slow, only to feel so brief, it really feels like this anniversary has snuck up on and surprised me! And once again, we have some other, appropriate event lined up; A solar eclipse on this anniversary! Luckily there's no sigils nor coven heads gathered to make me worry. But dang, it was raining in Connecticut when Luz returned there, and it was the rebirth of Jesus when Luz was resurrected.

Makes me wonder if anyone of the Boiling Isles, justifiably, has had PTSD from solar eclipses, and dreaded any that showed up, despite knowing it couldn't happen again. People must've held their breaths the entire time during the first eclipse, panicked at even the slightest fatigue, and then it passed and they realized it really was impermanent and over. And that there was another step towards moving on, which I guess I can relate to now, though this is something I'm much less happy to see gone.

I think a lot about how TOH has influenced both me and my writing, how I approach characters and stories now. I've found myself gravitating more and more towards personal, character-driven stories and situations now. I still have a bit of a taste for grander-scale stuff, but TOH was special for me in that it feels like the first time I really got and understood a show and its characters from the ground-up as I experienced it all in real time. The first time I truly grasped themes and character arcs and could make reasoned predictions based on those, some of which came true! It really feels like THE big start of my media literacy in a way?

It's been fun looking back at TOH as a 'whole' work more or less to reevaluate, and learning other things behind-the-scenes about the show. We've had a few more livestreams and stuff confirmed. Dana's done more drawings, including on her Patreon.

I haven't been writing as much TOH stuff lately, and tbf I've already said soooo much. I might have other, new things to say later down the line, and I do have a few thoughts I've written in notes that maybe could be fully-fledged posts in their own right. I've found comparisons to protagonists of other media, like Miles Morales, or Arin from Ninjago.

The Owl House still is and will probably always be something truly special to me; It feels like my first real fandom experience. My first time understanding and learning a show, appreciating it as it develops and even as I speculate. It broadened my tastes and horizons, my ability to participate with others in stuff.

I miss it; I miss new episodes, new developments. I'm still agonized over things that could've been, things I would've loved to see more of. I'm apprehensive over whether we'll get that Raeda prequel because I don't wanna get my hopes up. Plus Dana needs a well-deserved break and is trying and experimenting with new, different things. And I get that.

It's bittersweet, it's scary, it's freeing, it's sad, it's happy. I've gone so far, this show and fandom has gone so far. And it'll keep going, it has to, time keeps marching on. Luz had to lose her father Manny, process that, but still keep going and must be surprised looking back how much she's adjusted since then, how much she's still grown and gained and learned, while still holding him dear; The same applies for the Titan and the magic she once wielded. With grief and acceptance being a core theme in this show, I'm not surprised that it prepped up the viewers to do the same, and now we have.

And you know what? I'm gonna keep going on, like Luz Noceda, possibly my favorite protagonist of all time, one of the greats and a huge inspiration now for how I really want to write and focus on my own protagonists, too. I'm gonna keep doing this like it never ended. The rate and frequency might fluctuate, but every now and then I'll have things to say, and stuff to drop by and check, such as with the tag and the occasional trending post, others' reblogs, and so forth.

So again, thanks to Dana and the crew. Thanks to Luz Noceda, Eda Clawthorne, King Clawthorne, and the other many, many characters! Luz's story is one where it feels like the show really is about her at its core and wraps around to her, and I want to do a story one day that accomplishes the same feeling. And as I see how Dana has been inspired by past influences, I can't help but look forward to future generations and stories that will themselves have been inspired by The Owl House, I know I've been already, retroactively applying it to things that were already fairly compatible to begin with, and really needed the fresh breath of new inspiration.

I'm repeating a lot of the same things I've said last year. Will I say the same stuff another whole year from now? I'll see. But until next time... BBBBYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Hii!

Could you do Lee and Ler Evelyn (from toh) headcanons ?

No pressure!

Have a good day! ❤️

🕯️Evelyn Tkl Headcanons✨⊰

~Hey Anon! Sorry to everyone who's been asking stuff, I've had a busy few weeks (⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠). Finally getting around to these! Evelyn was unexpected, but she does seem fun! Thanks for requesting!~

General:

While her and Caleb are together, they're incredibly playful with each other.

Evelyn is a mischievous witch by nature, and when she figures out Caleb’s ticklish, mutual chaos ensues.

Loves tickling both ways, but she's ler-leaning. Being tickled is okay, but she's gotta be in the right mood for it.

Quickly finds out her wonderful human loves it as well, adding another thing for them to bond over.

Lee:

Again, certain mood, but she does get them occasionally.

She's very squirmy— bucks, kicks, accidental elbows to the nose, you name it.

So yeah, she prefers being pinned when tickled.

It's easier: she doesn't have to worry about hurting her beloved if she “can't” move her arms.

Takes a lot to get her really laughing. Unless you hit a sweet spot, you'll usually only get bubbly giggles and a small blush.

Her worst spots are her thighs and lower ribs.

You get her there, and it's loud cackles and bright blushes for days.

Melt spots are her hips. She loves getting a few squeezes or pokes there, maybe some light tracing from her lover. Dissolves into the sweetest giggles you can imagine.

If she can breathe, she'll tease her ler to kingdom come.

“Aww, you wanna tickle me, don't you?” “Oh really? My top’s riding up? Hadn't noticed…” “Somebody in a ler mood? I guess I could let you tickle me, though those red cheeks are awfully adorable.”

Ler:

Adores wrecking Caleb almost anytime of the day.

She loves the sound of his laugh, his smile, his blush, the way his hair noodle bounces as he laughs, the way he doesn't ask for her to stop until he's through…

Yeah, safe to say she's happy to tickle him.

Incredibly teasy, though in the most affectionate way.

“Poor, poor little lee… Much too ticklish for your own good.” “Are you telling me that this adorable bit of pudge is ticklish? Who would've guessed~” “What's that, lovely? It tickles? Good, it's working!”

Can and will use magic to help deal with her lee.

Invisible restraints, magical feathers, ghost hands, tickle spells, you name it. Anything to help reduce her lee to a giddy pile of smiles~

Her favorite thing is when a certain giddy lee plops down in her lap. She'll tease them, of course, but the deserved tickles will be given.

If a lee is feeling down or hating on themselves, she'll tickle them and coo the sweetest compliments to them until they feel better.

“I don't see how you could hate this belly. It's so soft and plush! I could poke and squeeze it a-a-all day~”

“I'm sorry, ugly? You're calling this absolutely adorable face ugly? I'm sorry, but this is the most lovely shade of red I've ever seen, and your smile is so wonderful! I'm afraid you're lying to yourself, love.”

“That anxiety of yours is rather rude. Let me chase it away for you! There's that pretty smile~”

[discet]

Just some suggestions if I may for what the fourth Calamity Gem could represent in that AU you talked about where Luz from TOH ends up with the axolotls: Memory? Growth? Soul? (I feel it should be a concept that's just as "universal" and intrinsic as Heart, Wit and Strength respectively are. P.S. I never said, that detailed account of what the show would've been like if Marcy had her AWiW backstory and still landed in Newtopia was quite a feast! :D

I loved that rewrite of Season three! I'm glad you liked it ^_^

While I like those, the trouble I ran into was that basically any option that really fits for Luz ends up taking away from one of the other girls characterizations or theme.

I was brainstorming with @fruitdragon1a in the notes a while back since they were interested and my best idea was to reformat the gems entirely giving them thematic powers associated with the 4 seasons

Spring: Marcy Positive Trait: Curiosity (New Growth) Negative Trait: Naiveté, (Again New Growth) Power Set: Healing/Plants

Summer: Luz Positive Trait: Dedicated (Long Days) Negative Trait: Overconfident (Sun at its strongest) Power Set: Light/Fire

Fall: Anne Positive Trait: Generosity (Harvest) Negative Trait: Low Self-Esteem (Withering Life) Power Set: Spirits/Animals

Winter: Sasha Positive Traits: Stalwart (Weathering a Blizzard) Negative Traits: Cruelty (Blizzards) Power Set: Darkness/Ice

[I don't have a great screenshot for this one but I don't think describing Sasha's attitude as an 'ice queen' is too much of a stretch]

fond canons!

i could probably choose specific people for almost all of my canons, so i'll go through this in parts, and limit myself to only a couple

for duck (dhmis): red. i remember us being in love, or as close to it as we could get with how we were. he made things a lot better. safer. the house and the lessons were bad, but he made things better. even if i got frustrated with him easily. i'm very grateful for just..everything he did for us. he did so much and tried so hard to keep us all safe. i hope he knows that i love him.

for shadow (sth): i can honestly say the whole group for this, but if i specifically had to choose, i'd say sonic. he was always important to me. he taught me how to be good when i didn't..really know how. even after he and the others were gone, i still did my best to act in a way that he would be proud of. i loved him so much.

for amity (toh): luz. no doubt, luz. if she never came to the boiling isles, then nothing wouldve changed at all for me or anyone else. willow and i never would've been friends again, willow would've kept being bullied, hunter wouldve been..Disposed of eventually, i would've been trapped in a miserable family just going through the motions, the collector probably still wouldve been trapped, and that's ignoring the day of unity. she was amazing, and if she never came to the boiling isles, then everyone would just be miserable.

for chara (ut): frisk. they were my best friend. it's funny, really, because we were stuck together and at first i absolutely despised them, but..they were really sweet. they were a good kid, they did so much to free everyone, and even with me they were so..patient. and supportive. even after i got trapped in the void (which i'm not. really sure how it happened, but it Happened!) they were one of the people i missed the most. if they never came, my family never wouldve been freed. and if they never came, for one i probably wouldn't have woken up again but for two i probably would've just..remained bitter and angry. they did a lot, for monsterkind and for me, and i'm forever thankful.

What are your favorite Lumity headcanons? Show predictions?

Hey anon! I feel terrible for leaving this ask in my box for so long but this was a tough ask for me to think of a proper response to.

Luz and Amity are my favorite toh characters, and their relationship has truly healed my inner child (LGBT+ media growing up dealt in a lot of queer pain which was quite honestly depressing as hell).

For this ask, I'll be including my individual headcanons for them too. To make things easier for myself, I'll just do bullet points lol.

Luz:

Short haired forever. I cannot imagine her with long hair at all, sorry not sorry it always looks bad don't @ me.

Writes fanfic (because duh)

Teaches glyph magic/becomes a novelist when she graduates Hexside. I think her teaching Eda and Lilith alludes to #1 and her episode with King from s1 alludes to #2

Her palisman is a bat! We've seen several hints about it in the show, and at first I was a bit disappointed cause I wanted it to be a bird (which is a Clawthorne thing) but they're definitely reserving that connection for Hunter

Luz gets her creativity/love for fantasy from her dad, which Camila supports wholeheartedly

This isn't so much a head canon as it is a fact. She's an introvert and if you don't agree read this and this. 💅🏽

Prefers slip-ons to laces cause she's always moving/running to the next thing

Morning person. She's the first one out of bed and makes Eda and King breakfast while they sleep in. As Eda becomes more maternal, she starts waking up earlier to help out.

After her struggle to carry Amity to the nurse's office in WILW she resolved to work out and gain some muscle, though she couldn't quite figure out why...

Never much of a jock, until she started running for her life in the Boiling Isles nonstop all summer

Becomes Vee's sister, and Vee takes the bottom bunk of her room while Luz gets the top bunk. (I think one thing that could happen in the show is that Camila requires Luz to sleep at home in Earth but spend her days in the Isles while Vee lives at their home and goes to human school full-time til they both graduate high school).

Tells Gus how it's possible to dig to China as a joke, he takes it seriously and causes a tunnel collapse that Willow has to save him from.

Burns her eyebrows off using a fire glyph at some point, and Amity draws them for her until they grow back

Amity:

I love love love fanart of Amity with short hair when she's older!!! Similar to Luz, I don't think a female character growing older equates with them growing out their hair!!! Short hair is also lighter and I think Amity would like to have less weight on her shoulders.

Develops a really sweet friendship with Gus!!! They're both nerds, they would totally be study buds for exams and investigate human realm stuff together.

Works in the library when she graduates Hexside. It's pretty clear that it's a special place for her, and she loves literature. In another life, she would've been a bard.

I have an entirely removed head canon of her relationship with her palisman Ghost just because I'm super annoyed we got zero explanation for how she got them. So I wrote a fic here that elaborates on it. Long story short: they hate each other at first and it's fucking hilarious.

Since Edric needs glasses and doesn't wear them, I think she'll eventually need them when she gets older (peak librarian vibes).

NOT a morning person. Night owl 100%

Returns to playing grudgby at some point, though not without setting boundaries with her old friend group first (it's clear she loved the sport a lot as a kid, and I think it'd be a cool full circle moment to play it again)

She inspires Edric and Emira to stand up to their parents

She returns to Lake Lacuna with Willow for some friendship reconciliation/bonding. They have a sparring session in which Willow kicks her ass while Luz and Gus cheer them on.

Lumity:

They have Azura book clubs!!! Every week. At the Owl House and in Amity's secret room, depending on whatever's more convenient. (Exchanging theories, rereading the books, drawing fanart, watching the movies, etc.)

They co-author a fanfic at some point.

They're both awkward as hell around each other because they're nerds with no relationship experience. Over time they develop a more casual dynamic and both of them are able to fluster each other equally.

Both of them can dance, but Luz has self-esteem issues about messing up the steps from her time in the human realm so Amity leads until eventually Luz overcomes them.

First date: something dorky/nerdy. An Azura book club, going book shopping, doing research, etc. The more romantic stuff is reserved for anniversaries and birthdays.

Amity paints Luz's nails

Luz notices that Amity is touch-starved and gives her a lot of a physical affection (hand holds, hugs, cuddles, etc.)

Amity learns Spanish and is able to hold conversation with Luz and Camila after a couple of years of practice (she makes a pact to learn with Gus and together they pore over Spanish workbooks)

They're around the same height for most of their youth, but Luz ends up being a couple of inches taller than Amity, much to her chagrin.

When they're older, they get married and live in the Boiling Isles (taking periodic visits to the human realm to visit Camila).

They decide to have children cause both of them adore kids

Luz carries the kid, and Amity is super protective over them.

Amity is always the big spoon and Luz loves it.

Amity was the one who technically asked Luz out first, so I think Luz would be the one to propose.

Instead of wedding rings, they get necklaces (Amity wears a sun and Luz wears a moon)

Thanks for the ask!!!! <3 Love receiving them :)

I'm so clooose to quitting IB. Really. I've done it before and I can definitely do it again without any remorse. I've loved Shivaay-Anika; back then Om and Rudra were just side characters, nothing more. But Gauri changed that. Like, I'm so in love with her, it's crazy. Om would've been an AMAZING character if there was consistency (they can still do great things if they want to). But I'm just so disappointed, borderline heartbroken. Rikara would've broken records if given the proper resources. +

CVs have the potential to do stunning things for Rikara, IF they want to. I’m just disappointed in the fact that even in this drama world (pun intended), there is bias and partiality. And hypocrisy tou koot koot ke bhari hai. They talk about equality when it’s blatantly obvious that they are NOT being fair to their own characters. Wah! I wonder how Nakuul and Surbhi feels about this bias towards their characters and maligning other actors/characters. One more week before I decide on quitting. +          

That too, only for Gauri. I'm in love with her and I'm definitely not kidding around. Om-Gauri is the ONLY couple I ACTUALLY fangirl about. Gauri ka tou level he alag hai. I'm just going to wait one more week and see where the story is going. If it's still rubbish, I'm quitting. And if it ever gets better, I might return. I can't handle the bias anymore. Plus, I'm starting to develop a dislike towards other characters which I just don't want to.  And I don't want my dislike to get to hate level.             

By the grace of nature I’m getting to this ask two days later so I’m REALLY hoping that you find the answer to this ask in a much more lighter mood than the one which made you write the ask. I know I certainly am in a good mood after taking a legitimate break over the weekend. The internet issues allowed me to not waste my time lurking over in the IB world, scowling at every spoiler and update, cursing the day I got into the show. I read a couple of books this week and it felt great to be able to do something else than obsess over RiKara. So now that the week is starting..I’m actually looking forward to the show tomorrow?

Also, I don’t think it is right to bring in Nakuul and Surbhi here. As much as I hate the bias towards Shivika in basically everything IB..I really doubt that Nakuul and Surbhi demand for all of that. From day1 the show has been Shivika’s show for whatever reason and they have been the face of the show for quite some time. I can despise Gul and her team and I DO do just that. But I can’t blame the actors yaar. Not after seeing how the cast is on SUCH great terms with each other. It’s not in their job description to care about what others are doing. They can have creative input about their own characters and tracks but I highly doubt they’d be sitting around and assessing what is going on with the others’ track. That’s the creatives’ job.

KHAIR! RiKara in the previous week was treated very badly. But what is life if it doesn’t have hope? Just like you, Imma hang on to them for this week with fingers and toes crossed that if not all mistakes would be rectified then at least there wouldn’t be any new mistakes! As for hating the other characters toh RELATE!!! But for your own sanity just hit that fastforward the moment someone who annoys you come screen. It really helps. Queenie ke liye toh karna hi padega..
