countdown to Watching and Dreaming: three days ;-;

[desmondkane-of-ao3-fame]

A Couple New Hexside Angsty Skarlow Headcannons cause It’s That Kinda Night.

Skara only became a Scout to find Willow. And the other Entrails, of course. To that end, she would often sneak away from the others to try and check locations she thinks Willow could be hiding out in, even going to The Owl House at one point, but leaving when all she found were rats and graffiti.

Skara kept a diary of the events of New Hexside, documenting all sorts of adventures, like fighting a crazed group of Emperors Coven loyalists, or finding a weird bug in her rations once. But she tends to get sidetracked on the less eventful days, rambling on about how much she misses Willow. And the others, too.

One day, Boscha tried to ‘make amends’ with Skara, summoning her to her ‘private quarters’ (I.e. the Principals Office) for a ‘feast’ (a bunch of sweets she confiscated, many of which were Skara’s favorites). She sweet talked Skara, promised to get Miki under control, even (reluctantly) apologized for some of the more… extreme behavior that ended up ruining their friendship. And Skara’s all happy to join Boscha and be her new right hand. Until Boscha mentions ‘Half-a-Witch.’ And Skara immediately bristles at that. She grabs a handful of sweets to shove in her pockets and leaves without saying another word, pissing off Boscha something fierce.

Viney and Skara play makeshift games of Flyer Derby in the New Hexside halls when the others are asleep. And afterwords they reminisce about ‘the good ol’ days,’ before The Day of Unity. Skara in particular loves talking about how cool it was seeing Willow in action, how good of a leader she is, and how much she misses her.

Viney knows about Skara’s feelings before even she does. Skara mistakes/lies to herself about them being standard friendly feelings, but Viney can tell how much Skara feels for Willow. How desperate she is to find her again. How much it hurts her each day Skara doesn’t find her. Viney knows Skara likes Willow, and she wishes it didn’t have to be this way…

Later, Boscha spots Skara and gets angry at her. She mocks her for leaving the meeting, yells at her for abandoning her like Amity did, and Skara just keeps walking, trying to get as far away from this as possible. But when Boscha mentions ‘Half-a-Witch,’ Skara snaps, hurling her former best friend back with a massive wind spell. When Boscha stands up, Skara casts a Bard spell to silence her, telling the triclops to never say those words again. But when Boscha recovers, she croaks out an angry ‘She’s probably dead.’ And Skara just stops, stands there a moment… and runs away.

Skara ends up in the Secret Room of Shortcuts, where Viney is hanging out with Puddles, while she begins to have a panic attack. She rants about Boscha, yells about how unfair the apocalypse has been, but mostly she just cries, and cries, and cries, about Willow. She misses her team captain, misses her smile, her determination, her confidence. Willow would have beaten The Collector and ended this by now, she knows it. If anyone could save the Isles it would be her. And she just grabs Viney’s shirt and begs her to tell her Willow’s out there, pleads with her to say that Willow’s ok and safe. And Viney just hugs her friend and strokes her hair and tells her it’s going to be ok as Skara continues to sob. And it’s that night, after her panic attack, after Viney helped her get some sleep curled up with Puddles, that Skara finally accepts that she doesn’t just miss Willow. She loves her.

The next days diary page is mostly a rambling mess, both in terms of its writing and in terms of it being covered in tears. But a few words stand out. ‘Sorry’ is used often, along with ‘Love’ and ‘Deserve Better.’

oh my god Oh My God

I just realised that ‘Hexside School of Magic and Demonics’ in The Owl House has a meaning???

Like ‘die Hexe’ in German means witch so literally side of a witch or the witch-side

Dane the details is à amazing I am crying

Ps: Shout out to Duolingo where I just learned that

THE NURSEY AT NEW HEXSIDE?!? Why is no one watching these babies please Camila is literally going to adopt 17 more children

[plushs-stuff]

I made myself an owl house character like the crazy person I am

Id be like a background character you see for a millisecond and you only see the top of my head

[marcxang]

Ok I like so much The owl house, and since the same has finished, this inspired me to drawed me like a Hexside student, take the Potion and constrution classes.

and yes, bunburns is my Palisman.

[novelist-becca]

Why the hell did it take me this long to realize that when the Hexside students were saying

“Who’s Tall Luz?”

They were referring to CAMILA

WHY DID THAT GO OVER MY HEAD

[everysongineverykey]

the owl house was really like oh yeah by the way a significant number of children avoided being collected solely because they were hiding out inside this one high school and all the adults in the building and a few of their classmates and friends were turned to puppets right before their eyes and taken away and they've just been alone here ever since. yeah it's been months since they've seen their families. it's unclear whether or not they're aware that the collector's been using their loved ones as toys in reenactments of the adventures of a lost friend of theirs. there are kindergarteners trapped in there. they spent a significant amount of time and effort on a meticulous, perfectly constructed stone statue honoring their collected principal who was one of the only people protecting them when the collector's spies came and it's dorky and unprofessional but they're so genuinely grateful for what he did and they never got to thank him themselves. their "leader" is the former captain of the grudgby team who's deeply traumatized and terrified 100% of the time and only took the job cause she wanted some sense of control over a nightmare situation. an adult in disguise has been manipulating her to do what she's told this entire time. their food is rotten and moldy and they were so scared of being found they put a sign up outside that said "no non-puppets inside". yeah. it's funny though. it's just a silly joke. look at luz's new palisman!

[astrolavas]

personally i like to think he started to learn how to carve palismen as del's mentee/apprentice a few months into his hexside education, but didn't feel ready to carve a new palisman for himself until like... 1-2 years later. so he carved out waffles before he finished hexside but not very long before he graduated.

[pandoratheprocrasticreator]

im sure when luz has her inevitable mental breakdown in the next two episodes it will be her mom or eda and king who comforts her and helps her complete her character arc where she realizes Not Everything Is Her Fault, Actually. either that or the entire main cast is going to somehow show luz that she’s been a positive influence in their lives. and luz will be inspired to defeat belos with the power of friendship or whatnot. or amity or hunter will have something to do with it, though if they’re a part of it, the rest of the main cast probably will too bc i don’t see why they would be the only ppl there at the climax of luz’s character arc and not eda, king, and camila.

but what i would have really liked would be if when luz is at her lowest point the person to encourage and inspire her was willow. they haven’t touched on these two’s relationship since season 2 so they probably won’t go this direction but i think narratively it would come circle. willow was the first friend luz ever made. she introduced her to other kids their age and basically kickstarted luz’s relationships with her other peers. without willow, luz never would have gone to hexside and learned about witch society and magic. or at least, she wouldn’t have gotten as much experience with it if she just stayed with eda all the time. without willow, luz definitely wouldn’t have met amity, gus, or even hunter probably. from their adventures with their friends, luz and willow have both matured. and while willow is doing a lot better than how she was at the start of the show (though there are still parts of her character i think they should have explored more in s2), luz is suddenly doing a lot worse.

at the start of the show, luz helped willow gain confidence in herself and discover who she wanted to be. i think at the end of the show, it would be nice if willow helped luz do the same

RAINE AND DARIUS WERE THEATRE KIDS

[lollytea]

Yes it might have taken me an embarrassingly long time to really pay attention to it but in ASIAS, along with the 'half a witch' parallel, both Hunter and Willow are motivated by upholding the legacy of those who came before them. That picture of Gilbert and Harvey being flyer derby champions is just as significant to her as the Golden Guard sigil is to him.

[desmondkane-of-ao3-fame]

I love how your New Hexside headcanons mostly end with "Skara thinking about Willow. And the others. Obviously." Also, now I really wanna write Skara and Willow's reunion after WaD

1. Thank you kindly. I mean, she does care about the others. Obviously.

There’s just one she uh… may care a little more about.

2. Please write it. And please send it to me. Nothing would make me happier then knowing I inspired more skarlow content.

NEW VERSE ADDED: “new hexside au ( let’s fight back )”

( NOTE : this verse does contain SPOILERS for 3x02 ‘for the future’ )

The Day of Unity passes, but Hunter finds himself stuck on the other side of the portal before it collapses. It’s a race for him to escape the skull, but by the time he makes it back, it’s too late. Everyone in Bonesborough has been snatched up by the Collector, and all Hunter can do now is hide.

Once again, he seeks refuge at Hexside, more than relieved to find that many of the students have survived the Day of Unity. For a while, Hunter lives regularly in hiding with them, but when it becomes apparent that resources are dwindling and students are growing fearful of the future and their families’ safety, Hunter decides to step up and do something about it.

Teaming up with the remaining Emerald Entrails and various other students, new survival plans for the school are made and executed. Hunter finds himself regularly participating on resource retrieval missions, as well as aiding in the organization of new plans and ideas proposed by other students. Thanks to his limited experience in running a coven, somewhere along the way, he finds himself in charge of overseeing most of Hexside’s operations--with the exception of a minor faction, being led by Boscha and “Miki,” that have decided to split off and occupy a separate territory of the school.

While Hunter never intended on becoming the leader of New Hexside, nor does he think he necessarily deserves it, he does find himself sticking with the role out of a desire to continue to make up for all the wrongdoing he caused as the Golden Guard, and makes sure to constantly be working with others to get everything they must done.

Additional Notes:

Since Hunter never goes to the human realm, Flapjack would still be alive and at his side. In the case of Belos, who was hitching a ride on Hunter initially, I’m up to exploring the possibility of Belos’ presence lingering around Hunter at New Hexside too, although if it’s not discussed prior, then I don’t consider him possessed in this verse.

While Hunter’s retrieval missions are primarily for resources, he and other students will sometimes rescue various denizens/dolls they come across while the Collector is playing, as they are many peoples’ friends or family members. While Hunter or the students don’t know how to change any of them back, there’s minimal comfort offered in knowing that they’re safe at Hexside instead of in the Collector’s archive.

thinking about how much they adore each other and wanted something fun to draw before the finale destroys us
