Good evening girl I am thinking about how the owl house lured me in with fun, surface level elements and aesthetics before ambushing me with themes grief and familial conflict that make me want to cry so hard I throw up. Why did they do that

#ramblings of a lunatic #dana terrace saying that the theme of grief will continue in the next episodes of season 3 both excites and terrifies me #cause there are SO many characters who's grief parallels each other- namely the nocedas and wittebanes #belos lost a brother. luz lost a father. camilla and evelyn lost a husband and had to take care of a child in the midst of it. #hunter just lost his best friend. darius lost his mentor. #when i tell you all of these characters actions (minus hunter but rtbs) are driven by the grief they carry with them #like #AND I'M JUST SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THAT?????????? #stories that deal with grief always manage to worm their way into my heart and/or brain for a long time #it's just. it's such a personal topic i think? grief has some generally agreed upon truths- that's how we identify it #but it happens to everyone in different ways under different circumstances and it makes everyone act differently #it effects their lives differently #so when a story goes out of it's way to portray the different ways characters grieve it just. mm. hits different #and i namedropped familial conflict as well but my feelings on that can be summarized by that one pos #that points out how when you take into account the family tree Caleb left behind and the found families built over the show #belos has essentially been terrorizing his family for 400 years in various different ways #lol #also the parents in this show. camilla specifically. i am a camilla stan first human being second #SHE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT IN ORDER TO BE KIND TO HER DAUGHTER SHE HAD TO FIRST BE KIND TO HERSELF #AND EMBRACE THE THINGS SHE'S ASHAMED OF. GOD!!!!!! FUCK OFF!!!!?????? #this show. this show makes me want to eat glass #anyway no one talk to me I'm in my feels about the show for children
