Mat Tholomule says FUCK is canon!!! Also yeah he’s a robo kisser, prob didn’t realize it at first but rolled along after the revelation.

I think Space Pope is a reference to something but have Camila in Space Farer costumes!!!

Can y’all imagine if Hunter got possessed wearing the giant cranium. Also Beerus and Yoda’s lovechild, and concept art of Hunter finding what’s left of the deer Belos possessed...

went on the For the Future wiki a few days ago to see what i missed in the episode, downloaded concept art i thought was funny, and my phone microwaved the quality

enjoy

I just got it lol

Kikimora

Miki & Roka

[lessthanimpressedlesbian]

Kikimora is so unoriginal for using an anagram to hide herself and her abomaton as students

[clusterduck28]

btw I think the Mattholomule x Roka ship name should be "MatthRok", pronounced just like 'Math Rock', the music genre but spelled differently. And it even has a reverse double meaning because Mattholomule can do rock magic and Roka, who is a robot, is programmed with math.

No other ship name ever had LAYERS like that and I deserve literally a nobel prize for coming up with it.

[drachenfalter]

I think it's time to answer the ultimate question:

[notgeorgelucas]

Kikimora discovers that to the victors go the spoils...as well as the Abomatons.

And so rolls the credits, with some more beautiful drawings showing some of the events that took place in the Demon Realm between the Day of Unity and now.

Here we see King, looking out on The Collector’s new land of Toys and Flavors.

Boscha and Mattholomule arguing loudly in front of the statue of Principal Bump while Skara, Jerbo, and Viney watch. I don’t think these are in chronological order, so I’m not 100% sure exactly when this takes place if it’s before or after ”Miki” and ”Roka” arrived at Hexside. Some time has clearly passed, based on the disheveled looks and Mattholomule’s stubble.

The Collector and King have a tea party with the Coven Heads in Tiara Halls. King is clearly creeped out by the empty smiles and hollow eyes of the puppets, but The Collector is as unaware as ever, only showing happiness at finally having a new friend to play and spend time with.

Here we see King hugging Eda in her Owlbeast form while The Collector looks on, confused. The lifeless puppet body of Lilith lies on the floor. 

I do believe it was stated that The Collector turned both Eda & Lilith to puppets and then turned them back at King’s request. So what I think happened is that when Eda tried to save King from The Collector during the Day of Unity, the Owlbeast freaked out, Eda lost control and turned into the beast proper. The Collector then turned her into a puppet. 

Later, King begged The Collector to turn Eda back to normal, and we see here him trying to reason with the beast. Now, The Collector believed Eda was still under the influence of the curse, which leaves two possibilities. One is that Eda did gain control back thanks to King, but pretended not to to trick The Collector. The Collector then turned Lilith back to normal to help keep an eye on Eda. Lilith then started making elixirs.

The second possibility is that Eda did not gain control of the beast, or at least not fully. The Collector turned Lilith back to normal at King’s request to help keep an eye on the beast, an she made the elixir, which helped Eda gain control back.

The Collector is looking on confused in this image. Confused, because the bond between a child and their parent is something they have never known, perhaps?

In the next one, one of The Collector’s spies made it into Hexside, forcing Mattholomule, Skara, Jerbo, and Barkus to fight it off. Meanwhile, Boscha is hiding as a disguised Kikimora ”comforts” her.

Like I said before, I was very pleasantly surprised at how well Boscha’s little arc was handled in this episode, considering how little time was actually spent on it.

A shot of Jerbo and Mattholomule in the bathroom. Mattholomule is… drawing on his face? I dunno, I got distracted by the water moving in the sink.

…hold up! Is Mattholomule’s stubble drawn on? Ooooooh… that’d explain why it got smudged earlier… I did wonder what was up with the weird shadow… way for me to miss an obvious joke.

Here we see Eda giving Lilith her haircut, with King sitting on her shoulder. Notably, King is not wearing his Collector pajamas and Eda also has a few feathers popping up.

King stands alone in front of a pond, the calm water reflecting the night sky, as well as a memory of a simpler, happier time when his family was all together. Stars, the reunion is gonna be so happy, I can’t wait.

And finally, The Collector, alone, floating, overlooking the Titan’s skull, just as they did a the end of the episode.

The actors laugh on your behalf because you can control them But to get a hug from the ones you love, you need to console them All too much trouble Stay in your bubble Leave it to others It’s a bad habit Make like a rabbit Bounce and then make it so

He can’t say ’No’

And that was The Owl House season three, episode two; For the Future! Was it everything I ever dreamed of? Not really. In some ways, it was actually more, cause I never dreamed of Boscha ever getting any character development.

I loved the episode, obviously. Highlights include the conversation between Camila and Luz, Stringbean hatching, as well as Hunter and Gus reassuring Willow. I’d also say the story with Hexside and Boscha counts as a highlight for me.

And the thing about Boscha is, it’s not like the best thing ever, I’m not suddenly a huge Boscha fan. But I do genuinely think it was a very well put together part of the episode, which is why I include it in my highlights.

A lot happened in this episode, way too much for me to recap here. No Bat-Queen though. I swear, if she doesn’t play a part in the next episode, I will…

I am tremendously excited for the finale! In fact, as I’m writing this, I am having to restrain myself from putting it on right after I’m done typing, that’s how excited I am. And it should come as no surprise that I have no idea when that’ll be ready. Like I said, I’m excited to get into it, but, well… I have work and stuff. And I want to be absolutely sure that I do as good a job as I possibly can on this final episode.

We’ll see. So… until next time, take care of the planet Earth, and remember that anything can happen in space!

[animationadventures]

For the Future was a lot to process.

We jumped around quite a bit, so I’m splitting my thoughts into two sections. The Hexsquad in one section, and the Collector and King in another.

King and the Collector

So, King told Collector about all the adventures he had with his family, and Collector turned those stories into a game called “The Owl House”, pretending to take Luz’s role in those.

They also turned the Boiling Isles into a cavity-inducing nightmare of a realm with all the citizens they can find turned into puppets and toys for them to play with. It’s like Mabel Land from Gravity Falls. Oh, and Odalia is pretending to be the kid’s mom so she doesn’t get turned into a puppet. Classic Odalia.

While the Collector was playing, King kept his family safe by lying about Eda’s curse so she wouldn’t be forced to play Collector’s games. Eda and Lilith are both safe in the Collector’s castle, and Lilith has been brewing the elixir the sisters need to keep the curse at bay. Eda does sneak out of her chamber to visit puppet Raine with the other head witches from time to time. Terra avoided the initial wave by agreeing to play Eda’s role for the Collector’s games, but grew tired of it and Collector got bored with her so they turned her into a puppet too.

It turns out the Titans and the Collector’s people have powers that cancel each other out, so the Collector’s people wiped out the Titans until King’s dad locked away the one we know in the in-between realm, and made a glyph to hide King from any others. Having spent the past few months with the Collector, King recognizes that the Collector is just a lonely kid who wants friends to play with, and has an idea of how to stop them and save the isles.

Belos tries to assume an unfinished grimwalker body to contain his monster form, but fails to find a doable host, so he takes control of puppet Raine instead and tries to mislead the Collector about Luz and King’s intentions.

He also starts experiencing hallucinations about Caleb, so maybe his guilt about killing his brother is finally catching up to him but he’s firmly in denial about it all since he’s so far gone?

The Collector, believing Belos’s lies, decides it’s time for a new game.

The Hexsquad

Luz may have seen a Titan while passing through the in-between realm between the human and demon realms???

Camila got her first taste of the demon realm, and doesn’t quite get the appeal. It’s funny how she has to clarify that the bones and eyes everywhere is normal to the kids, but they consider the sparkly cutesiness of the Collector to be the part that’s wrong.

Hexside did turn out to become a safe haven for the survivors like everyone predicted, but of course Boscha has to go on a power trip and assume the leadership position after Bump and the other teachers got puppeted. Boscha didn’t come up with this idea on her own though. Freaking Kikimora survived like a cockroach. I suspected her right away when we were introduced to Miki and Roka, and she’s been trying to copy Belos’s original plan of conning everyone into making her their leader.

We got camera time for the rest of the extended Hexsquad – Mattholomule, the twins, Viney, Jerbo, Barcus, and Skara. Jerbo is taking his plans to organize things as an adult seriously by trying to devise plans to help the other survivors, and Matt is surprisingly competent in a leadership position as he collaborated with Jerbo on the ideas to present for Boscha. The twins escaped Blight Manor, though Edric did get hurt in the process. My poor bro didn’t deserve that. Viney has been taking care of everyone medically, and Skara has been scouting for survivors with Barcus and Matt.

Speaking of Matt, we may have gotten his last name reveal. According to Boscha, his name Mattholomule is actually Matt (Mat?) Tholomule. I’m praying to King’s dad that this is a joke because I am not a fan of it. It sounds too made up even for this show. I prefer the last name headcanon I had for him because I assumed we weren’t going to learn his. My headcanon last name for him is Ulrich, as a reference to the deleted storyboard of him with Steve and Head Witch Mason, who at the time people speculated was named Ulrich.

Everyone else has had their own issues during the special too. Luz is still grappling with her choice to leave the demon realm once everyone is saved, her palisman still not hatching, and missing her owl family. Willow misses her dads and struggles with being the rock everyone needs even though Camila tells her she doesn’t need to be strong for everyone else. Hunter is still processing Flapjack’s sacrifice. It’s a lot that had to be crammed into one hour, and screw Disney for not giving the crew the time needed to fully process all this and space it out so us and the characters could breathe for a second.

The special caps off with a battle against Kikimora and her Abomiton mech, during which Hunter discovers he has magic from Flapjack inside him, Willow finally has a breakdown and both Hunter and Gus help her through it, Amity tells off Boscha when she tries to twist their whole friendship collapse on Amity. Camila confesses that she hasn’t done the best job at defending Luz back in the human realm and only wanted to make sure her own outcast childhood didn’t repeat with her daughter. Luz finally realizes what her deepest desire from “Hunting Palismen” was, and it was to be understood. That is enough for her palisman to finally emerge.

As many predicted, her palisman turned out to be a snake. But with her own Luz-original twist. The snake can shapeshift for the most part, almost like Luz’s adopted basilisk sister. Wink wink.

The snake-shifter palisman is named Stringbean, and she’s a little angel.

I didn’t like “For the Future” as much as “Thanks to Them”. We had to juggle a lot more characters and plots, which made it feel more clunky than last time, and I entirely blame Disney for that. Some things just didn’t go the way I would have liked, and it felt like some scenes were missing too.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m liking all the scenes we’ve been getting in these specials, but I simply don’t like the format we’re receiving them in (3 one-hour specials instead of 20 half-hour episodes). Again, not blaming the crew but the Disney company they have to work under.

Only one episode left of Owl House. This is unreal.
