The Universe, in some sense, must have known we were coming—Roger Penrose

[co-dependance]

I’ve seen people talk about the main theme of the owl house being acceptance, and I think they’re completely right about that. But I haven’t really seen anyone look at the sub themes depicted in the show around the acceptance theme.

Specifically how the owl house is really advocating for child autonomy. Specifically in the ways of discipline, showing that communicating and talking with children ends up being a lot more beneficial and effective than punishing them.

The most obvious example comes with the collector, where instead of talking to him, King’s dad punished the kid by putting him in essentially time out, for the actions of his siblings. Which he would’ve learned if he had talked to the collector. And then following that, every interaction before talking with Luz, has the collector being used or placated in some way instead of being treated like an actual child due to the amount of power he has. The titan trappers revering him as some sort of god, Belos manipulating him, and even king attempting to appease the collector, instead of really talking to him. Though for king it’s a bit more understandable. Even so, the show showcases the collector’s change only after he’s talked to like a person, and then shown why his views were wrong.

Luz, who’s the main focus of the show, has her character arc and journey centered around being punished for her not fitting in at school. And while, yes, some of Luz’s antics that were shown seemed to be legitimately dangerous, the real solution would’ve been to talk with her and teach her about safety and why bringing wild animals and fireworks into a school building is dangerous. It should have also been that Luz should be able to talk and negotiate with her teacher about what would be acceptable for her projects with her endless creativity. The solution was not to essentially punish Luz for being creative, and what that only did was make her feel worse about herself and more isolated from the people she thought would be on her side. And then we were shown in thanks to them and for the future, Camilla’s growth into understanding that not talking to Luz about this, and essentially forcing her into normality, was not the way to go about things.

And we see this theme again, with Willow forced into the abomination track because her parent’s thought that was what was best for her, until she was able to showcase her skills and switch to what she was actually good at. Alador realizing he missed a lot of Amity’s growth by not talking to her, and then making it up to Amity by letting her set the boundaries and reestablishing their relationship. Odalia being controlling and not listening to her children which lead to actively harming their social development, until she was confronted and then shut out. Belos manipulating Hunter, isolating him, and abusing him, not even listening to what he had to say. And all of these situations were made better and more bearable when they were given the chance to take charge and be heard.

All this, in an attempt to showcase that children can be vulnerable and malleable, but they are also smart and understanding. And instead of deciding what a child needs, it’s important to communicate with the child instead, asking what they need and listening to what they’re saying. And implementing that by guiding and supporting them, not attempting to control them to what someone else thinks is right.

Children are smart and observant, they just need to be taught how to communicate, and viewed and thought of as actual human beings.

In a way, the owl house is attempting to advocate for it’s audience, and that’s beautiful.

you know how artists have muses? so let's say clarence is your muse.

as a sculptor, it's become so natural to you, the act of shaping his face from limestone and marble. you know every dip and wrinkle, every freckle and mole on his body. there's so many busts of him it's getting a little disturbing (he's just glad people don't visit your home often)

and then you get into an argument and leave him. or he's gone for a moment too long and you're discovered and killed by the rebellion. either way, clarence is left alone, in a house that has both too much and too little of you.

everywhere he looks he sees proof of your love and it's driving him insane. to know someone so well that it's second nature to sculpt their face and body? to adore them so much you choose to carve stone and marble in their likeness, over and over again? clarence is only now beginning to fathom the depths of your love for him. he's only now understanding the way in which artists love.

these sculptures are him but they aren't him. they're him through your eyes — the him that you cherished and adored and chose to sculpt. clarence looks at the sculptures and he doesn't see himself. he sees you.

(it's all so much worse when clarence acknowledges how scarily accurate they are. you've captured every baby hair at the edge of his forehead, the curve of the cupid's bow on his lip. you saw him, every part of him, and nothing has changed. you've kept his imperfections, instead choosing to carve him over and over til you've captured his likeness in full. the Him that you love is just him, clarence clayden, flaws and all. and it's like — you loved him. you loved him.)

it doesn't take long for clarence to crack. soon enough, all proof of your love is gone. it lays in pieces at his feet. in the corner, he sees the bridge of his nose carved into marble – at his heel, there lays his fractured, limestone smile. he's ruined it. he's ruined your love. he's ruined himself.

clarence should care. clarence should weep. but after so long without your touch – after so long surrounded by so much you and yet so little – he can't bring himself to care. he can't bring himself to fix his mess.

after all, destroying things is much easier than making them.

I recently archived all of the old art on my DeviantArt accounts I still have and 14 year old me actually was onto something with pixel art?

Also I dearly miss the experience of this Team Rocket Roleplay(ish) DeviantArt group I joined 2015/16. Having a public group where your OCs just exist very close to one another/live together so you included each other a lot. Very good times!

I hope all these people with their edgy Pikachu OCs are doing good out there nowadays.
