Since the last episode of TOH is finished, I decided I draw 4 glyphs of the titian’s power and Luz used, So here you go!!!!:D

glyphs

Thinking of how the Titan showed Luz the first glyph, Light, because she was kind to his son and listened to him, made him feel like his interests mattered when so many others overlooked the little guy and didn’t care about people like him. He didn’t force Luz to painstakingly find it on her own, as Philip did; The Titan freely gave this to her.

Then the second glyph, Ice, comes when Luz takes the moment to listen to the Titan; To say that she’ll learn on his terms, she’ll respect his body and work with him. Luz paid attention to the unheard son, and now the parent, speaking with and not for him as Philip did.

She gets the Plant glyph afterwards by continuing to follow that principle and give his son fun and company...

And the final glyph, Fire? Wing it like Witches is a major epiphany for Luz’s development, where it really hits her that she can’t drag her friends around in her attempts to play out certain beloved tropes and story beats she grew up on; In particular, this episode was about her desire to be the underdog hero, dragging Willow into relatively high-stakes consequences for a Grudgby match she did not ask for.

Sound familiar? I wonder if the Titan was low key afraid of Luz following in Philip’s steps, recognized that similar hero complex... Even if Luz was nowhere near as evil as Belos, well. Philip started off from somewhere, he didn’t begin as a genocidal dictator with countless sins to his name, he built his way up. Maybe the Titan is just being paranoid, Luz is so young after all! But in the end, he hid one final glyph from Philip because of his need for control, and it was admittedly Luz who jeopardized this precaution by giving Philip the Light spell.

Yet in Wing it like Witches, Luz really matures when she steps up and takes responsibility for her recklessness, for subsuming Willow’s problem and low key making it about herself, and what she decides for the group. Luz takes the full consequences of the stakes she set up so neither Willow nor Gus have to, and it’s this mature gesture of self-awareness that prompts them to reciprocate and forgive Luz.

So I wonder if THAT moment was what solidified to the Titan that yes, I really can trust this child. This human, the first after centuries of another who has been desecrating my corpse, bastardizing my name; She truly didn’t know any better, and meant well, teaching Philip the Titan’s last glyph. The first few glyphs were like little gifts, but giving Luz the last one meant she had full access to all of the Titan’s magic, so long as she experimented with glyph combos. And the Titan felt safe to entrust her with something he barred from Philip, because why?

Because Luz got over that fatal flaw of Philip’s; The desire to be the hero at any cost. That proved she wouldn’t follow in his footsteps, she diverged at a crucial point, and it meant she’d never become another Belos. They both worked and studied for the glyphs, but what mattered was the compassion that Luz had, and it was her kindness that began her discovery of glyphs. The Titan could trust his final glyph to her, Fire... But as he’d find out, it wasn’t even his final gift to Luz, either.

There really is this recurring arc of hesitancy from the Titan; Someone who was used, betrayed, and taken advantage of. And knew how easy it was for the same to happen to his son. So to see the little ways in which he opens up, recognizes Luz’s kindness and maturity and responds to each step in her growth... It’s like someone learning to trust again, realizing they’ve really found a friend after all. It’s no wonder Luz is treated like an old friend by the Titan, because she is one, and it makes his final gift and farewell to her all the more impactful.

On a lighter note! I’m just imagining the Titan figuring out how to show Luz the Fire glyph, after deciding he’ll do just that. I keep thinking of him watching Luz in the Grudgby game, cheering her on and giving Luz support by illuminating his last glyph in Boscha’s fire; “Here kid, take this!” It’s such a relatively casual and silly moment too, because the Titan isn’t obsessed with the theatrics and drama of godhood.

A cute snuggle pile of the Palismen. I love flapjack and string bean so much.

Wow, King’s first glyph is so cool. I wonder how he came up with that design. It kind of looks like a very simplistic Titan, or even…

Oh. It’s the light glyph. Of course.

And the circle is right in the middle of the figure’s ‘chest’, because Luz’s own true inner light is her metaphorical heart!

Are all his glyphs going to be like this? Maybe the fire glyph could reference Eda, because of red and gold and her general personality and role as a firebrand. Her hair already has a fiery shape and it used to be orange. Would Lilith be ice, then? For the plant glyph… Willow, because she’s the most Plant person he knows? Or a vine or flower stem symbol that could be Hooty with a few leaves on it, to keep it in the Owl House?

I was in a post-100% Super Mario Odyssey theme park and had to scan and unlock several Owl House style glyphs that were hiding in turns and corners in order to save this place.

thinking about how luz was the light the boiling isles needed. not only is it literally her name, but it’s the first spell she learned how to “communicate” with the titan. and it’s the spell that was able to wake everyone up from their nightmares and the puppet spell. it’s the spell that got rid of that god-awful belos goop. she’s the light.

"What's the first thing you do when you wake up from a bad dream?"

"You turn on the light."

Luz Noceda being the light to wake everyone up from the bad dream that Belos brought to the island. And the light glyph helping her every step of the way.

Remember how they pointed out that Palistrom wood was becoming rarer? Because Belos kept over harvesting it and not giving it time to grow back?

The University’s tree is blue. Its a big ass Palistrom tree

If King’s Light glyph really was influenced, in-universe, by his admiration of Titan Luz, then it makes me wonder about the glyphs of other Titans, particularly his dad. 

I recall people comparing the Titan’s Light glyph to the Collector, considering visual similarities. However, we also know Titans develop their glyphs pretty early in life, and while we know Titans mature much more quickly, their overall lifespan is likely enormous given the decay rate of their bodies, and there doesn’t seem to be any consideration between the Collector and the Titan as childhood friends. The Titan was likely an adult when the Collector first showed up...

Which again, if it’s not the Collector, were any of the Titan’s glyphs inspired by people she knew? People important to her, who acted as formative influences?

Kudos to @toh-tagteam-au for pointing out King’s Ice glyph, which doesn’t seem to resemble anyone or anything we know of (besides the gem on Lilith’s dress from S1?), so maybe it isn’t that deep, or it only applies to one or a few of a Titan’s glyphs... Makes you wonder if any of the Titan’s spells immortalized anyone, who were as dear to him as Luz is to King; Making them dear to Luz as well, who feels fond towards her first spell and mourns its loss as she does the Titan’s.
