Hunter's Comfort Food

I think, at this point, you all know my personal favorite Owl House headcanon. I shouldn't have to say what it is, you already know what I'm about to discuss. However, I am going to describe why Hunter loves what he does and maybe you'll adopt it as your headcanon too...

It all started when Hunter ran away from the Emperor's Coven Post-Hollow Mind. He'd been living in the paranormatorim in Hexside since, building a nest and living on snacks. Gus, having seen the former Golden Guard living so dreadfully, offers him his lunch, which, among other things, included a sandwich.

Hunter then helps Gus escape Adrian and the scouts, citing his reason for doing so being because Gus offered him food. When the illusionist questions him on it, Hunter says "It was a really good sandwich." As many have pointed out, Hunter's diet in the castle was probably miserable. On top of it, he was clearly malnourished, as several characters (Luz, Eda, Amity, Edric, Emira, Matt) have said. So it is assumed he didn't have a great time food wise, which is why he looked so happy eating that loaf of bread in King's Tide...

Yeah, look at him go. Happily chewing on some bread and being pleased as punch over it. And this is where my HC came to be, Hunter and Gus bonding over a simple offering of food. A kindness Hunter had probably never known until then, combined with something that probably saved his life or at the very least made him feel much better. I feel like that sole interaction weighed on Hunter's heart, and it made him fall in love with sandwiches. After all, without Gus' sandwich, he would have never been able to sit down and actually talk about how he was feeling about Belos. He wouldn't have bonded with Gus and helped the younger witch when he needed it most. Hunter developed an intensely strong bond with Gus, a friendship and brotherhood forged in love, trust, and sandwiches.

That said, I assume when they were trapped in the human realm, Hunter started looking into various types of sandwiches (with the help of Camila and Luz, of course.) Figuring out what the best meats and cheeses were. What kinds of vegetables go well with them (information he totally shared with Willow, obviously.) The best kinds of bread and condiments to compliment the other ingredients. I assume he learned about what foods he liked and disliked (boy loves himself some olives, btw.) Of course, this eventually lead to the ultimate creation. His pride and joy: The True Hero Sub. The culmination of his knowledge and understanding of foods that allowed him to create divinity between two slices of bread (well, shoved into a loaf of french bread, but hey, who's counting?)

Of course, this is a BIG sandwich. I know, that's the one I made myself. It is about 2' long (60.69cm for you non-Americans.) It is not something you can eat by yourself, and Hunter would never want to eat it alone. Because of this sandwich, Hunter came up with his philosophy on food; "Food tastes best when shared with others." So I assume the first time he made one, he shared it with the others. Definitely Gus, his sandwich brethren, and possibly Willow, someone Hunter would be thrilled to share his accomplishments with.

And this probably continued as he became an adult. I bet anything that Hunter has a series of sandwiches he brings with him to work. He maybe even wrote down his own cookbook of sorts for them. You KNOW anytime he had a new idea, Gus was the first person he told about it. He probably even made a book to make sandwiches to represent Cosmic Frontier characters (you know Gus AND Camila happily assisted him.) And that's my headcanon. A boy, his best friend, and a type of food that brought them closer and possibly even saved a life in more than one sense. In this house, we respect the Sandwich Bros. (Tagging @childlikegoblinqueen, @unniebeans, and @probablyhuntersmom, who I assume have also had this headcanon infect their brain for some time. *evil laugh*)

WELP I NOW FEEL AS IF I HAVE ENOUGH CONTENT TO POST ABOUT MY OWL HOUSE AU SO YALL BETTER GET READY FORRRRRRRR

The golden heir au!!

This au mostly follows canon but is much darker in tone and does go off track in specific canon moments because of the addition of a new character, a grimwalker clone of Belos who was made specifically to be a backup body but that plan was thrown completely to the side when the grimwalker ended up running away at a pretty young age, getting found by Eda (she’s like a magnet for traumatized children I swear) and has been adopted in everything except name by Eda also the grimwalker works as an assistant to Eda.

Whilst the grimwalker is at the owl house, Belos is on the hunt for that grimwalker because his current body is rotting alive because of the curse so time is extremely limited which means he has Hunter specifically on this case to hunt down the grimwalker under the pretense of that grimwalker having been kidnapped by wild witches and that Belos just wants to see his son again before he “dies” (this is a complete lie which Hunter doesn’t find out the truth until this aus version of hollow mind but anyways I don’t want to spoil the whole thing so I’ll just leave it at that) also the fact that when Luz enters the demon realm it shakes everything up even more so without her realizing by finally leaving a trace that Hunter can follow to that grimwalker…

So with all that context out of the way…

Meet the unfortunate grimewalker and golden heir himself, Pip

He’s for a lack of better words a little shit. (Hooty is always on the defense around Pip because of all the pranks Pip does to both him and everyone in Pip’s general vicinity lmao)

(Fun fact Pip’s real name is actually Philip because Belos had decided that Pip was going to be his final grimwalker before and after the day of unity also because he also wanted to be known as Philip during the day of Unity and sorta have his work go full circle…)

Pip’s job given to him by Eda is to steal human realm “treasures” (trash) alongside Owlbert, which Pip did pretty well until he got caught by an extremely confused Luz who’s was dead set on getting back her stolen trash and her copy of the good witch Azura so she ends up unknowingly enters the demon realm just like canon but this time to chase and confront Pip, Luz confronts Pip but they’re both making such a ruckus that the guards show up and they both almost get captured until Eda comes along and saves them, after that it goes just like canon except at the end where in order to both to make it up to luz for stealing her book and as a punishment from Eda for leading luz into the demon realm Pip is forced to become Luz’s guide to the demon realm (luz is still Edas apprentice in this au tho.) after this everything changes because the guard who tried to capture Pip and Luz had reported to Hunter a possible sighting of Pip and how he’s been found with a random human which Hunter then realizes he can use Luz as bait.

Also I’ll eventually talk about Pips relationships with the other characters in another post.

By the way Pip can do magic despite being “human” and not having a bile sac or a palisman, an example of this is the illusion he put on his ears when he’s out in public to make them long and pointy like a witch’s but that’s the only magic he does in general because he finds it extremely hard to focus on controlling the strength of the magic and also keeping the spell active so he prefers just not to really use magic. Magic usage makes him extremely tired also which is another reason he mostly avoids it.

Here’s Pip showing off his illusion magic to an extremely excited Luz in the background.

Also Pip can use magic only because during the process of Belos growing him Belos had to cut off one of his arms to use as an ingredient (specifically the “bone of ortet” which fun fact an “ortet” is the original plant from which the plant's clones are descended from,) and so due to that arm being used as an ingredient the glyph arm carvings and unlucky the curse too had passed on to Pip as well.

The curse works similarly to Belos’s but is much less stronger and gets extremely agitated and causes a lot of pain if he’s used to much magic at once but I’ll focus on the curse properly in another post.

(Also I’m not the most experienced writer but I can draw so excuse my writing skills lol and try to at least enjoy the art)

The Web House

Full disclosure—I did not have this all typed out before today, but this won the poll, and I do nothing if not deliver.

*cracks knuckles*

So, this is kind of an inverse to my already well-established AU, The Wittebane Archives, over on AO3—Luz is the Archivist and going through the horrors, there’s an equal amount of deep character moments as well as incredibly chilling encounters, it’s great, it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever written, please go check it out. You got tragic Lumity, tragic Huntlow, wholesome Veesha, Skara and Boscha content, and Belos being much more morally grey than you’d expect. Also, there’s some fucked-up monster content.

ANYWAYS!

I finally decided to do an AU where a young Jon ends up on the Boiling Isles, and I took a similar approach with the tone that I did with Wittebane Archives. In that story, while I still highlighted the horror of the world they live in, I decided to make it more manageable for the characters and give them chances to still find ways to feel human, reflecting the fact that TOH is a more gentle and optimistic show (and I much prefer happy endings to sad ones). So, with The Web House, I decided that the Isles in this world are the Isles we would’ve gotten if Dana had been allowed to do her original vision… which is to say, all of the scary and horrific parts are kicked up to their extent. No sugarcoating here, the demon realm is explicitly referred to as Hell.

Now, to the characters!

Jon: He is, of course, in the role of Luz. Rather than being a naive ray of sunshine from Connecticut, he’s a prickly, anxious, and socially awkward kid from Bournemouth who gets in trouble for his constant refrain of correcting the teacher, having no interest in the assignments, and his habit of reading during class. This eventually leads to him nearly getting sent to a camp for “troubled kids…” until his habit for wandering off and getting distracted by things that are out of the ordinary leads him to stumble in through a portal to the Boiling Isles. Once there, Jon is absolutely blown away by the wonder and horror of the world, and he finally finds something that he’s truly passionate about—though, time and time again, he’s told that he can’t do magic because he’s a human, and he gets very defensive about it. It takes him a while for his walls to come down.

Gerry: He’s Eda—a snarky, anti-establishment, laid-back criminal with a lot of trauma and a habit of unintentionally adopting kids. Instead of an Owl Beast curse, he has a Spider Beast curse, and is referred to as the “Web Witch” by the denizens of the Isles. Gerry was actually pretty happy pre-curse, mainly because his mother died before she could do a lot of real harm… but after getting cursed, everything came crashing down, culminating in Gerry accidentally blinding his father and running away to hide in the woods. Since then, he has a hard time really letting people in, and the fact that he’s a wanted criminal doesn’t help. But that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t regularly take in strays. (Also, the curse turns his hair black, but it’s naturally red. You’ll see why in a sec.)

Annabelle: She is a slightly more mature version of King—a spiderlike demon child that Gerry found and took in at a young age. Knowing full well that she’s adorable, she takes advantage of the fact that people think she’s sweet and naive to get what she wants, which leads to a lot of shenanigans in the first-season arc. As the story goes on, and she finally takes the push to learn more about her past, she starts learning how to be responsible and to be more honest with herself and others, though she never loses her talent for deception. She’s a curious and devious little kid.

Helen: She’s a Hooty equivalent. Just a sassy door being who helps keep the Web House in tip-top shape.

Agnes: She’s Lilith—Gerry’s older sister and the head of the Emperor’s Coven. Of course, Agnes being Agnes, she’s a lot less tightly wound than Lilith at first and is genuinely sweet and caring, just deeply misguided. She truly believes that Gerry joining the EC is the best option for him, and she’s always been tormented with guilt over cursing him. After leaving the coven, Agnes tries her hardest to make up for lost time, both with Gerry, Eric, and their great-aunt Gertrude, even if she really has no idea how to interact with people outside of being the polite and perfect role model. It’s a learning curve.

Basira: She takes the place of Willow, though her character development is less about being insecure and slowly gaining confidence and more about being stoic and apathetic and learning to express her emotions and fight for what she believes in. Basira has natural talent in both Beastkeeping and Plants, and while she initially thinks that switching to the Plant track would be better for her, she eventually decides to take both classes once it’s approved. She’s painfully logic-minded and has a lot of internal doubts about the coven system, though until she meets Jon and hears his casual breakdown of how valuing certain types of magic over others just doesn’t make sense, she doesn’t yet have the courage to voice it. On her end, Basira turns out to be just the friend that Jon needs—someone who believes in him, but isn’t afraid to tell him when he’s being an ass.

Georgie: She’s in Gus’s position, though instead of being a prodigy at Illusion magic, she’s a prodigy at Abominations magic… and is more than a little terrifying as a result. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a wonderful person, but her keen interest in both humans and in subsects of magic that are more than a little macabre can be a little off-putting to some, which is why Basira’s her only real friend at first. After their initial meeting, which consists of Georgie excitedly asking Jon for a blood sample and him being incredibly spooked by her amazement at meeting an actual human, the two end up getting along like a house on fire, and are basically enablers in each other’s chaos. Georgie’s family doesn’t have a lot of money or social standing in the Isles, so she works twice as hard in order to prove herself and get better opportunities. This leads to burnout. Frequently.

Melanie: She’s… okay, so, she’s Matt in that she’s a fellow member of Georgie’s human appreciation club and a new student at Hexside, though she and Georgie don’t really have a rivalry beyond friendly ribbing. However, she’s also Viney, in that she’s a member of the Detention track who helps kickstart multi-track studies. She and Jon don’t get along immediately, mostly due to the fact that he unintentionally ratted her out for studying both Oracle and Construction magic the first time they met, but the two form a begrudging alliance during a basilisk attack and later become actual friends. Melanie’s a sucker for drama and conflict, and she carries that with her—whether she’s in the Human Appreciation Society, the Flyer Derby team, or just hanging out with Georgie and the rest of the gang. She’s fun.

Martin: He’s Amity, in that he’s a depressed rich kid who’s severely isolated due to parental expectations. Due to his incredible talent at Illusions, a lot of kids end up coming to him when they need to cheat, though they never actually become friends with him due to everyone seeing him as a quiet weirdo who never had to work for anything. When Jon comes along, Martin is distrustful of anybody claiming to want to be his friend, and he doesn’t help things by accidentally demeaning Jon’s interest in magic—which, in Jon’s eyes, cements him as a rival. After a string of miscommunication and failed interactions, the two eventually reach a middle ground and become friends… which later leads into Martin developing a gigantic crush on Jon. Which is later reciprocated. Aside from the romantic drama, Martin learns to both become more open and to stand up for himself, becoming the kind yet bitchy individual we all know and love.

Tim & Danny: They’re Edric and Emira—Martin’s class-clown yet charming older brothers who love teasing their little brother and getting into general mischief. Tim’s the oldest, and he’s usually the one who shows a lot of actual worry towards Martin, though he’s still a very flashy individual and tends to do a lot of crazy things just for the hell of it. Danny, on the other hand, has some identity issues that stem from being a middle child who doesn’t quite know who he is outside of his family, and he tends to throw himself into something if he thinks it’ll make him stand out. They’re both illusionists, like Martin, and while Tim and Danny are biological brothers, all of them are adopted. (Also, Tim eventually starts taking Bard and Beastkeeping classes, while Danny starts taking Potions.)

Daisy: If my decision to make Basira Willow hasn’t tipped you off, Daisy is Hunter—the Golden Guard of the Emperor’s Coven, praised as a teen prodigy yet possesses no magical talent of her own. She’s loyal to the emperor and genuinely believes in everything she’s been taught, and she is absolutely horrible at expressing any emotion other than smugness or anger, believing fear and sentiment to be weaknesses and being deathly afraid of being perceived as anything other than strong. Daisy is a very vulnerable person underneath her hard exterior, and she can be incredibly soft with people she cares about… though, of course, she’s not given much opportunity to connect with anyone outside of the castle, or inside, for that matter. In the canon of TMA, Daisy is a truly fascinating character to me, and I knew that the only character she could feasibly be is Hunter—hey, person who did bad things for a cause they believed was just and had that illusion stripped from them, meet other person who did bad things for a cause they believed was just and had that illusion stripped from them. And they both love wolves. So, yeah, she’s a very traumatized child soldier who makes the gradual evolution into a protective big sister friend and a disaster lesbian.

Sasha: I had to make her Vee. I had to. Even if you take away the whole fact that she was NotThemed and how similar that is to the basilisks, the fact that she was almost made the Archivist makes her perfect for that role. Her general story is pretty much the same as in canon—she’s a basilisk who was created in a lab for the purpose of studying magic draining and ran away to the human realm, falling in love with it almost as soon as she arrived. Once in the human realm, Sasha develops a love for computers and manages to make friends with the people she meets at the camp (I’m not sure who they are yet, though I’m leaning towards making them Sam and Colin—Alice already has a role), and when she and Jon actually have a chance to meet, they almost immediately bond as siblings after the distrust and animosity is thrown out the window. Also, Sasha’s existence helps Jon finally fully connect with his grandmother, so… bonus!

Oliver: He’s Raine. As much as I love Doorkeay, I have a different role in mind for Micheal, and Oliver’s dynamic with Gerry as two gorgeous witchy goth men connected with The End is something that I’d love to see more of. Anyways, um… so, Oliver and Gerry’s story is pretty similar to canon—they met when they were in high school, were best friends from that point on, and eventually started dating, though they broke up due to Gerry being tight-lipped about the curse and Oliver eventually making the decision to join the Bard coven. Oliver didn’t start being a rebel leader right away, though, since he initially believed that the best way to fix things was by changing it from the inside, but after years of that not working, he finally caved and started the BATs. He’s very practiced at pretending that he’s just an unassuming workaholic, and he often claims stage fright in order to continue operating under the radar. Oliver’s a smart dude.

Trevor: He’s… well, he takes the position of Eberwolf as the Beastkeeping coven head, but he also acts as Darius for a lot of the story beats—mostly because he takes the role as Daisy’s actually decent paternal figure. Trevor comes off as an old grump who doesn’t like people or fun, and he’s seen many a Golden Guard die in his time as a head of a coven… so, when he sees Daisy be rebellious for the first time in her life, his wolf dad instincts kick in. Not quite sure where Julia fits in yet, but she’ll fit in. Somewhere.

Jane: Terra. She has to be Terra. Gross plant woman who pretends to be sweet but is actually psychotic. She’d definitely suggest turning children into mulch as an apt punishment for failing a small challenge.

Nikola: Same deal, she’s Adrian. She can’t be anyone else.

Peter: He’s in the position of Odalia—an antisocial yet jovial businessman who reeks of old money. He also deals in security and weaponry, though he primarily uses oracle magic instead of Abominations, and he’s very interested in studying the effects illusion magic has on the mind. Of course, he can’t actually practice illusion magic, so he has to turn to other avenues for research… such as adopting three gifted illusionists. Needless to say, Peter is not a good parent by any measure,  and he kind of holds the fact that he adopted his sons over their heads so they don’t step out of line. Unfortunately, the kiddos don’t have an Alador equivalent (as far as I’ve decided), so the only person they can really go to outside of each other is Peter. Not a good environment, really. And it’s definitely complicated by the reason why their dad has all this standing and power, beyond just the family connections…

Elias/Jonah: So, he is in Belos’s place as the emperor who’s secretly a human witch hunter, but his motivations aren’t the same. Rather than planning on killing witches simply because he hates magic, his intention is to drain the magic from them and take it for himself—well, for humans, but mostly himself. Elias is also a lot more… shall we say, lax about interacting with other witches, which is why he has zero qualms with having an on-again, off-again relationship with Peter Lukas. And several other men throughout his time on the Isles. Yeah, Philip may be too deep in a Puritanical mindset to claw his way out of Narnia and admit that he’s not straight, but Jonah is a harlot and that’s a part of his character that stays constant. I’m not gonna go into his backstory, for spoiler reasons, but I will say that Gwendolyn is a Caleb equivalent, and Alice is her Evelyn. I’m riding on the Dyhard train and you can’t stop me.

Micheal (Distortion): And last but not least, I couldn’t make our boy Micheal anybody other than The Collector! I know that technically, he and Helen are kind of the same character, but she just doesn’t have the silly vibes that he does. All I can really say is that his story is… well, it matches up with in canon, except he’s more of a preteen than a kid. We know so little about Collie’s past outside of the events that led them to be trapped, and what we know about Micheal himself—pre-Distortion, of course—is equally as murky and unclear, so… yeah. He’s a funky neon star kid who originally manifests as a funky shadow kid.

And yeah, I think that’s it for now.

#420 BLAZE IT

oh of COURSE

Hard of Hearing – Radical Face (Redux)

sraf doesn’t have nightmares, ‘cause nightmare is a stupid dumb witch-word and he’s not a witch and also it makes people look at him sad sad sad and he HATES that, and so nightmares ARE NOT IT. OKAY. NOT NIGHTMARES KING.

but sometimes still he.

sleeping is new too. even as the days become weeks months one-day-years and all the time kinda seems the same but it goes goes goes, as it goes on sleeping is a thing he can do. he makes himself a nest like grr-click-growl’s, balancing himself on her back to get all the twigs and leaves and also blankets ‘cause the owl lady please-call-me-eda said he also needed those too. so sleeping and nest are good things ‘n they like the owl words for them best-of-all, ‘cause the rolling grumbling growly mine mine mine is something held close to their chest.

but despite that sometimes the sleeping is.

it’s like he’s back-there again. tablet sometimes. the tablet never really goes away but that’s been so always, ‘n so what really gets to him, the kinda stuff that means all the sounds he can make are bad bad bad and hiding small-scared how he never wants to be, is when he’s back in the trap and looking at king and feeling the stinging burn of claws across their cheek.

like he’s back-then and he knows what happens, knows how titan’s blood sizzled crackle-pop and the trap was shattered, and king growled in a way that meant both anger anger but also you-here-good, and they didn’t know what to do, and so much happened, but it’s the stuff that leads to him here and he likes here. and he knows now he’s safe even if safe is sometimes something he has to bite onto ‘cause elsewise he loses it.

but in the bad-seeing-story there is no blood and there is just the trap, like the tablet. there are all the witches who were there around him and their magic that cut sharp, ‘n him staring down there and the way the barrier shimmered between them and king, and he couldn’t breathe.

those are the things that send him bolting up so fast he smashes his head on the ceiling and there trembling in the air has to remember here here here and that here is a place he doesn’t want to blast apart. that here is good safe mine and nobody hurts him anymore.

he never tells king about them ‘cause he doesn’t know how to say sometimes i see you and think you’re gonna put me back there again.

he never tells king ‘cause sometimes when it’s real dark and empty he thinks at least back then it was easy to know how you felt about me.

Commentary

okay so i was going to do haha silly joke but then i saw what song is actually 420 and went FUCK and so instead its very sincere explorations of sraf instead lol.

first off! i've clarified in the other posts but sraf is indeed the collector--sraf is the translated version of what firefly (the owl beast, here sraf calls her 'grr-click-growl' which are the sounds for her name) calls him and that he eventually adopts bc he's never been particularly attached to 'the collector' as a name.

and now what even to SAY like.

sraf is. Dealing With A Lot Post-Canon Yes Yes? he and king have a REALLY messy relationship, and here sraf is thinking of and referring to a specific event that happens between them in for the future--it's a big scene so i won't elaborate on it due to spoilers, but there are pieces here and there to put together at least a sketch of it.

but that event is this moment of like--it is SO CLEAR to sraf that king is only using him. and like, obviously this isnt true and its so much more complicated than that, but at the moment its like a repeat of all the other times people have betrayed sraf in the past, that the black-white of it all becomes very sharp.

and now post-canon they share a mom and a house but they arent really friends and neither of them are really able to deal with that. its messy!

also if you cannot tell sraf thinks a lot in owl-terms--he's very very close to firefly and IS indeed otherkin, being an owl beast, though he does not have those words lol since he really just talks to firefly about this and she is very helpful, but also a big owl. his identity has always been pretty messy but here its easy for him to work at being a good owl, because its a goal that isnt tied up in all his past which he is for sure nowhere near dealing with.

basically: sraf my beloved they are the best owl house character and i love them so so much <3

#and a grove of palistrom to you #toh #the collector #i write #so much of this au is me like 'how can i give the collector so much more screentime' #which is for Me but i dont care. my story my rules #its being sad about sraf hours!!! fuck it!!!! #collector my beloved

[tirednapentity]

So… that au design thing I posted? 

It’s a full au now, regardless of wether I’ll write something for it. 

It’s basically a boarding school au combined with a murder mystery au. 

Luz is the new kid at Hexside, a boarding school with a pretty good reputation. She transferred after the school year started, and has to share a room with two other girls, Amity and Willow.

Amity is the daughter of Odalia Blight, the frech teacher at the school and Alador Blight, one of the chemistry teachers. She’s fairly hostile towards both Willow and Luz, but comes around eventually. 

Willow is shy, and only attends the school because her father is the groundskeeper. She’s smart, but fades in the background most of the time, which leads to her achievements barely getting recognized. She introduces Luz to Gus, much like in the show, and they become friends. 

Gus is still a prodigy. He also has a friendly rivalry with Mattholomule, another kid in his class. They both also struggle with Bria, who is in the parallel class. 

Luz eventually meets Hunter Wittebane, the nephew of the principal. He’s got a bit of a reputation for being spoiled and getting special treatment, which is why other teachers sometimes go extra hard on him. 

As for the adults, Lilith is one of the history teachers. She’s one of the teachers who are hard on Hunter. 

Eda runs a thrift shop in Bonesborough, the town near the school. King is still her adopted son. Every Friday, the students get to go there to visit the cafe and the shops there. 

Philip Wittebane is the school’s principal. He’s fairly intimidating and strict, putting a lot of pressure on Hunter to succeed and make the school look good. 

Kikimora is the english teacher. She’s pretty obsessive and strict and constantly tries to impress Philip. 

Darius is the other chemistry teacher. While Alador has the younger grade, including the one Luz and amity are in, he teaches the older students, including Edric, Emira and Hunter. They act like rivals in public, but definitely fuck in one of the chemistry labs. Both Hunter and Willow walked in on them at least once. Odalia suspects them, but isn’t sure. The students all know. 

Terra Snapdragon is the elderly math and biology teacher. Everyone is low key scared of her. 

Raine Whispers is the new music teacher. They and Eda have history together, and Luz and King totally try to play matchmaker at some point. They are very fond of all their students. 

Eberwold is the school janitor. They are still friends with Darius. 

Bump is the vice principal of the school, and not nearly as strict as Philip, which honestly isn’t very hard to do. 

As for the actual plot, a month or so after Luz gets there, the other history teacher, Flora D’splora disappears. Philip announces she quit. 

The same day, Luz finds a bag of bloody clothes in the garbage. She freaks out, and goes to Amity, who also freaks out, and immediately tries to help her hide it. They try to find out whose clothes they are, and quickly come to the conclusion that they must be Flora’s though they have no way to prove that. They recruit Willow and eventually Gus to find out what happened. 

When they start looking into it, they also stumble upon some suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of the former vice principal, and Hunter’s father, Caleb Wittebane, such as that he didn’t have a funeral. They start to suspect Philip might have something to do with it, but have no way to prove that. 

Luz eventually approaches Hunter and asks him for help. Obviously it does not go well. Hunter runs away and severs his ties with her, thinking she’s just mocking him and his family. 

Eventually he does start to get his doubts, and reluctantly starts to investigate, thinking he’ll find nothing. Instead he finds some stuff suggesting that his uncle is indeed involved in some shady business. He and Luz talk, and they finally start to work together. 

Eventually Philip catches on to what they’re doing, realizes they actually got some dirt on him, and panics. He tries to kill them too, which goes wrong and finally gets him arrested. 

It’s a pretty rough draft so far, but I still like it.

[proudfreakmetarusonniku]

ok info dumping about the old au I had. mostly just precanon stuff bc I just wanna get something out so I can sleep but I can talk about the rest tommorow if u want.

so! during one of eda's trips to the human realm, 6 year old luz ends up stumbling across the portal and accidentally ends up getting herself stranded in the demon realm (and since she’s very frightened and confused, she doesn’t go up to eda, so eda never actually realised this happened).

after a while, though, news of a tiny human child does end up spreading, and luz quickly gets caught by the coven scouts. understandably, she’s terrified and she’s convinced she's going to be killed but obviously that doesn’t happen bc y’know. random scouts aren’t going to kill a toddler for existing. that’s not a crime.

when belos hears about her he’s obviously immediately like “another human lost in this world? clearly it is just like me and caleb and i need to protect this sole other human from the Dangers Of This Realm for reasons completely unrelated to me trying to make caleb 2. obviously.” so adoption (derogatory) ends up happening.

and this Isn’t Great for luz for what are hopefully obvious reasons. being raised in an incredibly sheltered environment by a bigoted extremist who's also really fucking abusive isn’t a fun time. luz does try to escape for a while, and while she doesn’t because she’s six she does end up discovering some pretty secure hiding places. and in hiding, she sees and learns a lot she was never meant to.

still, she's being actively indoctrinated into a cult, so despite what she sees, she still trusts and believes in her adoptive father because she doesn’t know any better. she assumes what happens must be normal or necessary. after all, shes just a silly human, regular old luz who just is completely unremarkable in everything but failure. it bothers her a lot that she can’t do much to help.

when she first arrives, our hunter doesn’t even exist yet, and the old golden guard who was dariuses mentor is still around. i mean by old hes like in his twenties max but that’s ancient by grimwalker standards at this point. he sort of becomes this mentor figure to luz, too, and she really idolises him. she wants to be just like him, in how he's able to do so much without magic. she's really close to him.

which means it hits hard when he's killed. especially since, unseen by anyone in an unnoticed corner somewhere, she sees it happen. it traumatises her quite a lot, though she's good at hiding it and never lets it slip she was somewhere she wasn’t meant to be. when the new hunter comes around, though, she does take it out on this weird new young copy of someone who was practically an older brother to her. not intentionally, and not to like, a huge degree, but she's very distant to him at first.

they do eventually grow very very close, due to basically being the only person the other is allowed to really talk to, and luz stops seeing him as some sort of replacement. after all, they might look similar, but they act completely different! the old hunter was always calm, always reliable, but the new one is young and scared and needs a guiding hand through life in the castle, which luz is of course able to provide.

luz and hunter grow up in quite similar ways. luz is allowed to leave the castle much less- after all, it’d be a shame to lose the only other human left in some silly mission- but she's generally physically harmed a lot less too, though she does have a few scars that no one her age should have. both of them are manipulated and emotionally abused frequently, and are lead along by promises of a false destiny.

while hunter, of course, falls into a blind obedience, luz is privately a lot more sceptical. not that she doubts her papa is trying his best and doing the right thing, of course, but she worries he's going about it all the wrong way. while this makes her more easily swayed, she’s also unlikely to give up her views that wild magic is dangerous even if she realises her life was a lie. clearly, he must have been corrupted from a once noble goal.

she's also desperately lonely, and privately longs for friends that she knows she’s not allowed. when she has the time, she reads and rereads all the fiction available in the library, and desperately imagines herself as one of the young witches in them, able to go outside freely and talk to whoever they like and have adventures! but she knows she'll never be like that. after all, what are the odds she'd ever make it on her own, even if she somehow left the castle despite not knowing how.

(until, of course, a freak accident on a mission leaves her ending up unwillingly in the care of the owl lady, who doesn’t know who she is but knows she’s a human and someone who needs help, and surely it wouldn’t be that bad if she spent just a few days with a wild witch, right? surely she could make a few friends among the populace, right? no one would even know.)

So…about the Collector from the Owl House…

The more I think about and watch the Owl House as its story unveils, the more I’m starting to wonder if there might be a huge misunderstanding on the way regarding its antagonist: The Collector. Here’s my theory:

You ever thought that maybe…the Collector is no different than King?

What if…the Collector that we’re seeing currently in the series is in fact the offspring or…successor to a previous Collector that was the former adversary of the original Titan a.k.a King’s father?

And similar to how King’s father locked him away in the Boiling Isles as a means of protecting himself until he was ultimately found by Eda, perhaps it’s a similar situation for the Collector or rather the current Collector.

I say current since, given his rather child-like demeanour, I’m starting to wonder if this Collector is actually a child. A baby Collector or rather Kid Collector, as I’ll refer to him and his name isn’t actually Collector but rather that was the name of his species or race from long ago.

What if…before the creation of the Boiling Isles, the magic lands were home to two warring magical races that have long gone extinct---the Titans and the Collectors? 

And much like how King is the last of the Titans, my assumption is that this Collector whom I’m going to dub: Kid Collector (or “K.C” for short) is the last of his race as well.

And much like the people of the Boiling Isles worship the Titans whose remains built their world, admittedly it’s the same thing on the other side for the people from Edge of the World, who worship the Collector whose remnants possibly created their world as well.

I know the episode “Edge of the World” revealed that the Collector is far more “dangerous” compared to Belos but…guys, imagine if much as how Belos has been manipulating the people of the Boiling Isles, what if it’s the same for the Collector?

Hear me out with this one.

What if…Belos has been using the Kid Collector too, taking advantage of the poor child’s loneliness and longing for companionship after being locked away for so long and not understanding the full reason why?

Could the Kid Collector not be all that bad? Just a misunderstood and naïve child who genuinely doesn’t know any better because the only source of friendship and guidance he’s ever had was Belos since he discovered him.

I know this concept may seem like a huge stretch and I could mostly definitely be very much wrong about my perception of the Collector. But I dunno…the beginning of today’s new episode—O Titan, Where Art Thou---really got me thinking this thought?

“Almost free. Almost free.  …I won’t be alone. I won’t be alone anymore…”

What if…the story may be leading towards the Collector and King being mortal enemies when they really don’t have to be? 

Ultimately King and the Kid Collector are not so different from each other. 

Both presumably are the last of their kind. Both were probably locked/sealed away for their “own good”/protection. 

And both, despite the sheer god-like beings they’re meant to become, are just kids at heart as we see them in the show. The one noteworthy difference between King and the Kid Collector was who eventually found them.

Remember…King was found alone by Eda and eventually adopted into her home and raised as her son.

On the other hand, remember who found the Kid Collector all alone?

May I remind ya’ll that UNLIKE King who was found by Eda and learned the love and companionship of having someone to call your family, Kid Collector on the other hand was found by Emperor Belos---the same fine gentlemen who past history when it comes to family involved him not only killing them but also resurrecting them multiple times only to kill them over and over again without so much as batting an eye.

King had Eda. The Kid Collector had Belos. Let that sink in.

Makes you wonder now how much differently things might’ve played out if the Collector was actually found by Eda and raised as her child, just like King.

Heck, if Eda has found both the Collector and King then the two could’ve been raised like brothers (or…just siblings in general since I’m not exactly sure what the gender of the Collector is).  Think about it.

At the end of the day, what if …King and the Kid Collector are both just children---the last of two races that were long at war and whose destiny is to probably fight each other when in actuality, they don’t have to.

If the Kid Collector really is just a baby who sincerely just wants to have friends and play all day---y’know like how a child would behave--- then imagine if…he and King become friends?

If the Titans and Collectors were formerly enemies from ancient times then what if…King and Kid will be the two to finally break the cycle and become the first Titan and Collector in existence to become the bestest of friends; using their combined magical powers to further help the Boiling Isles, working together instead of against each other like their fathers before them. Or something like that?

Again, this is all just one big speculation from yours truly but it does make good food for thought, right?

☔

☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?

Okay, so I did start writing this fic, but it's one that I doubt I will ever complete. It's kind of a crack-fic, but one I was semi-taking seriously... but also the plot is not too difficult for the readers to put together (some of the comments on the chapters picked up on the 'twists' super early, lol). Since I'll probably never jump back into it, might as well share everything here, haha.

It's called Boiling Gravity (I know I've shared it a couple times before, but not the entire plot).

The first couple chapters are posted on Ao3, but here are the plot details I wrote before getting into the actual chapters:

Backstory:

Stan Pines met Eda about 16 years ago and they had a small fling going on while Stan happened to be visiting the area. As soon as Stan finds out that Eda is a witch from an alternate universe (aka, The Boiling Isles) he immediately gets himself the heck out of there. He isn’t about to get himself wrapped into the weird multi-dimension voodoo crap his brother is obsessed with.

Regretfully, Eda is hurt by this, yet another rejection due to her being herself but her lack of communication skills… but something unexpected came about from it. She was pregnant. It was her explaining the Boiling Isles that she used as a way of leading up to the news about her pregnancy but… he left. Knowing the Boiling Isles was no home to any human, let alone half-human, she made the difficult decision to give up her baby for adoption. She left a token with her child that would give him a hint as to who his father was so that someday perhaps he could find him… but nothing about her. She had the owl beast in her, after all. There was no way she could raise a child safely.

Unknown to reader:

Eventually Stan loses his brother to the alternate dimension because Ford made the deal with Bill. Stan decides to dedicate his life to getting his brother back, just like in the original story of Gravity Falls.

However, the dimension that Ford ended up in? The Boiling Isles. Who is the Titan? It’s Bill. Well, sort of. Bill now has Ford under his mind control to make him believe that he is Belos. And yes, there was time travel involved because obviously. Additionally, because there is a secret door/portal to Gravity Falls, Ford under Bill’s control, discovers Hunter, Stan’s (and Eda’s) son. He takes him at a very young age and adopts him into becoming his nephew (already being so, lol) to do his bidding and the like, eventually grooming him to become The Golden Guard.

Present Time:

Stan has accidentally fallen into the bottomless pit that is in Gravity Falls but instead of falling right back out, he ends up in The Boiling Isles.

Plot of this fic:

Stan’s goals: to get back home. He has Dipper and Mabel to take care of after all, and also, of course, he needs to keep working on saving his brother.

Eda upon finding Stan: asks without asking about their son, to see if he knows where he is. Use Stan to help Luz get back to the human realm. Mostly, she is just frustrated because she wants to rescue Rain, her ex she actually cares about… but now she has this human she dated once to babysit. She is conflicted because he fathered their child she had to give up and now that she has the owl beast somewhat under control maybe she could have raised a child… but not with this jerk. She orders Hooty to do whatever he wants to him but Stan brings up their past and Hooty is immediately invested in Stan’s long backstory (aka his needed therapy session about his long life of conning and trying to save his brother and now he has his niece and nephew visiting and can’t get back…blahblahblah).

Hunter: Doing Belos’ bidding. Figuring out his crush on Willow (eventually). After discovering Bill mind-controlling “Belos”, his goal is to put a stop to him. He ends up kind of like Zuko, joining the hero gang after figuring out who the real bad guy is.

Bill/Belos: Causing Ford misery while simultaneously creating chaos and drama, while also dominating the witch’s realm as belos, getting rid of wild magic.

Luz: figuring out Eda’s romantic past and making the connection as to who Hunter is. Getting back home to the human realm with a way to go back and forth so she does not have to stay there permanently.

Ford: Go back to human realm but primarily freeing himself from the mind control of Bill.

Purpose of this fic:

Sharing interactions of Eda/Stan, Eda/Hunter, Stan/Hunter, Hunter/Luz, Hunter/Willow… but mostly Stan’s interactions with all of the characters in the boiling isles. Stan and Eda do not end up together in the end but they come to a mutual understanding and respect for one another. Luz and Stan find a way (with Ford’s help after defeating Bill) to connect the realms so they can visit back and forth. Hunter is now fully initiated into the Clawthorne family (King is a little jealous, mostly because he still has not found his biological family and yet Hunter found his here in their house). Hooty teases Hunter about Willow, probably. Luz teases him about how she’s his sister now and he just has to deal with it.

[sepublic]

            But if this really IS King’s father, and not some relative or uncle, or a subject of the same species (because I wouldn’t be surprise if the show threw us for a loop like that), then…

         In hindsight, I guess it’s totally our fault for assuming King’s father and the monster he fought were gigantic. Because when you stop to think about it, nothing from the mural actually indicated they were titanic, we just sort of thought they were?

         But secondly, if that’s King’s father, then… He’s about the size of Belos, I’d reckon? A bit shorter perhaps… And King’s father fought a monster that looks VERY much like Belos’ cursed form!

         So it’s more than likely that this isn’t the Titan, or Belos in a titanic form- This is normal-sized, fully-transformed Belos that is fighting King’s father! And if Belos wasn’t once this gigantic monster, then that points towards this battle NOT being ancient, but indeed relatively recent- Likely during Belos’ reign as Emperor!

         Though we can also presume that there were at least two battles between Belos and King’s father, and the first one is depicted on the mural- The second was what led to King being left behind in his egg with Jean-Luc.

         Now, again- There is the idea that Belos’ curse is an entity possessing him, as is implied with Eda’s curse. So maybe the Mural Monster is that original entity, before it lost its physical body ended up possessing Belos as a host… Who knows? But regardless, the Mural Monster is NOT that big, it’s about Belos-sized! So definitely not the Titan, but maybe connected to it? Understanding Willow alludes to the ‘Spawn of the Titan’ after all…

         Maybe King’s father and Belos, or the entity that possessed him, or something like that, are the same species of skull-headed creatures with snouts, descended from the Titan? Its original progeny? I’m not sure, but based on the door to this caravan that King’s father has;

         We can probably assume some connection between him and the Portal, assuming HE didn’t make it, or his civilization! Though, it’s worth noting that King’s civilization would’ve presumably been operating during Belos’ reign, now that we have this important information… The battle that defeated King’s father must’ve been a bit over eight years, unless King’s egg DID take a while to hatch, just not the thousands of years like we’d speculated.

         So, who knows? Maybe Belos fought King’s father prior to his takeover, or during his reign… If it’s the latter, it might’ve been a raid conducted in secret, upon a civilization that had hidden itself on an island to escape Belos, or something like that. Perhaps Belos wanted to force King’s father to create a Portal for him, or show him how to- Which led to a battle. Stung by defeat, Belos kept this civilization’s existence under wraps, because hearing of how a remote island defeated the Emperor would NOT be good propaganda…

         Eventually however, Belos returns for a rematch, with more forces and power, and defeats King’s father! Was King’s father captured, and he only recently escaped, just in time to see King and Jean-Luc missing from where he left them? Or did he run away at the battle, and he’s since avoided his son, possibly under the impression that if Belos is keeping an eye on him, he wouldn’t want to lead enemies to King?

         If so, then DAMN, maybe Lilith WAS right about King’s dad being a deadbeat! A deadbeat who cares, but still- It couldn’t have hurt THAT much to check on him at least once, could it? And maybe he did, during King’s time with Eda- But even if this was when Jean-Luc was there, Jean-Luc might not have been able to tell him much, except that someone adopted King.

         So, maybe that’s why King’s father didn’t bother looking, because he already found someone better… I guess it’d parallel how in the same episode we see him, Eda is under the impression that her kids don’t need her and are better off with others, only for Raine to snap her to reality. Will King’s father have a similar epiphany, and realize that his paranoia and concern ultimately abandoned his son?

         Again, we don’t know how much time passed between the mural fight, and the second one- I doubt the mural depicts the fight that defeated King’s father, considering the only person left in that temple to do so was Jean-Luc, but who knows? Maybe Jean-Luc is an artist… But in all likelihood, Belos came for a rematch and won. Perhaps King’s father was the one who cursed Belos, in fact- And the mural depicts a transformed Belos lashing out and continuing to fight anyway?

         That could contribute to Belos’ hatred of wild magic, especially if his uncontrollable curse form got family members killed… But that’s a whole ‘nother discussion with weird logistics involving Hunter’s own past and initial childhood without Belos, so who knows? Maybe Belos’ family got killed in the fight with King’s father… And Belos eventually succeeded in ousting King’s father from the island! Perhaps his subjects were all Jean-Luc’s, and Belos took them all, save one, for himself- And converted this army into the fleshy-mold we see him wield?

         Regardless, the likelihood that the Mural Monster is INDEED Belos, and that he wasn’t some titanic monster, and the fight WAS relatively recent in the timeline, has skyrocketed! Again, never say never that the Mural Monster isn’t a separate entity from Belos, the way Eda’s curse and that owl entity is… Which just raises a LOT of questions, but- At the very least, we can ascertain that King’s father wasn’t a Titan, nor did he fight one!

        That’s assuming of course the show isn’t throwing us for a loop and making us THINK that’s King’s father, and not just a sibling or member of the same species, something like that. If it’s a sibling, that’d be a lot of fun- Maybe King’s father had other children, multiple eggs he scattered across the isles to decrease the chance of Belos killing all of kids in one go.

        King having an actual older sibling would also create a potential dynamic with Luz, his adopted one, and call parallels with how she arguably has an adopted older sibling herself, in Hunter! Maybe Belos attacked King’s father because he had the portal, but after the second battle it was damaged and hidden away, just out of Belos’ grasp- Perhaps by this individual we see!

Omg this is all so friggin perfect myis melting!!!! And your Boschlow takes are amazing, I love them. And thanks for the recomendations! I would ask for more but I genuinely don't know what else to ask xD! Maybe your take on Camileda? In any case, thanks prinxly! You are a genius!

🥺🥺🥺

N-no.....u....💖

But really, thank you!! I’m so glad you like my take on all these various ships lol

But I’m defo gonna dip into Camileda under the cut ÒωÓ

There’s defo some palpable awkward tension when the two first meet. Like I don’t think Luz allows them to be in the same room together unsupervised because they are a ticking time bomb of a yelling match just waiting to happen.

Camilia has some choice words she doesn’t want Luz to hear and Eda has some words that are on par, but she doesn’t care if Luz hears it. For a long time, between them they just glare daggers at each other in silence until Luz leads one of them away. Eventually Luz doesn’t have a choice but to leave them alone (maybe she and Lilith have to go somewhere??? And she leaves King in charge of keeping them from clawing each other’s eyes out?? He agrees and gives her a military salute and then almost as soon as they’re gone he curls up on the couch and falls asleep). The only reason these two women aren’t actually at each other’s throats is because they’re trying to be civil for Luz’s sake (and so they don’t wake King).

They do talk and sort everything out and give their perspectives of the roles they play in Luz’s life and eventually find the closure they need to accept this other mother figure in Luz’s life without feeling intense hatred (and jealousy).

Once everything’s been smoothed over, they actually start asking each other about the details and intracacies of each others worlds. Eda NEEDS to know more about her human shit that Luz makes light up or make noise or whatever she does that makes the seemingly broken objects come back to life. Camilia is infinitely curious about magic and how Luz discovered she could also do magic if she’s biologically a different species that doesn’t wield magic by nature. Her enthusiasm about magic and all its little details actually remind Eda of Luz and how hard she’s worked since she first came to Isles. She actually can see so much of Luz in Camilia and vice versa and it actually kind of warms her heart to know that Luz’s mom is just as much of a dork as her apprentice.

By the time Luz and Lilith come back they’re just infodumping back and forth and shooting rapid fire questions at each other with giant smiles on their faces while King sleeps between them on the couch and Luz and Lilith just sorta stare at them in shock because that was NOT how they left them. They left like 2 hours ago and those two were one wrong glance away from eviscerating each other. And now they’re going back and forth like they’re little kids that just met each other at the playground and immediately clicked.

Luz is immediately relieved and actually so thrilled that her mom and her not-mom-but-kind-of-mom are finally getting along that she can’t help but squeal and run to them and throw her arms around both of them to pull them into a big hug. She maybe accidentally knees King in the process and wakes him.

After they’ve settled their beef w one another, feelings are fair game. They love watching the other do the things they do best (Camilia being an amazing mother to Luz and getting super into whatever medical thing is required of her at the time [Luz and King get into a lot of trouble for the amount of physical harm they get into] // Eda being an unconditionallly supportive mentor that’s on the same wavelength as Luz in so many things, admitting that Luz has been teaching her magic since she lost her magical ability).

You can’t help but admire someone that’s passionate about what they do, especially when they do it well.

They unconsciously start adopting each other’s interests (Camilia likes learning about magic too and sometimes sits with Eda and Lilith during their glyph lessons. The first time she gets a light glyph right, she outright squeals and pumps her fists into the air just like her daughter and Eda’s heart skips a beat because she has no right being that cute // Eda is actively paying attention to what Luz is about to get herself into and stopping her before she can get herself hurt; also brushing up on her healing magic and trying to see where potions and healing magic overlap so she can start making more healing potions. Camilia catches her up at like 2 AM reading from a book and stirring her potion and asks her what she’s working on so late at night. Eda admits it’s a healing potion and as she’s babbling about the why, Camilia feels her own heart flutter because good lord this woman cares so much about Luz’s safety).

Then feelings happen and romantic clichés occur and Luz is their #1 cheerleader and they all live happily ever after because they deserve it god damn it. (I’m going to get into like, actual fanfic territory if I don’t stop now lmao)

I do think they’d have some stuff they need to talk about before either of them learns to like the other, but I DO think they could like each other :D

[ahhhsami]

Modern korrasami AU. Korra and asami are planting a garden at their new home. They just moved in to a larger home after adopting their 4th child. They needed more room for activities! Featuring Naga and kids rolling around in the dirt "helping".

Four kids, so many, lol. I don’t actually like writing kids much, so none of them have any dialogue :P (AO3 LINK)

Also inspired by @futagosa‘s modern Korrasami art. The pieces are awesome!X ::: X ::: X ::: X ::: X ::: X ::: X

“Korra, no.” Asami starts walking backwards, careful not to trip on the uneven soil. “Guys…” Her eyes flit from Korra and down to each of her kids faces. They each had dirt in their hands, stalking towards her.

They had recently moved into their new home, needing the space. They had discussed adopting a fourth child for some time, but knew that they’d need to move. They couldn’t have four kids and a dog in a three bedroom house. So they made the move. Korra had also been ecstatic when she realized she could finally plant that garden she had always wanted.

Today Korra and the kids had started working on it while Asami was at work. She didn’t have to stay the whole day, so she had come home ready to spend time with her family. Instead she was now being backed into a corner, dressed in her business clothes, that she knew for sure, would not come out of this unscathed.

“This isn’t how I wanted to be welcomed. I thought I’d get some hugs and kisses.”

“Oh, we can still do that,” Korra laughs. Suddenly her and the kids start sprinting towards her. Asami’s about to turn to run away, but instead she’s tumbling to the ground. She lands on her back, her legs resting on Naga’s back.

“Oh come on,” she laughs as Korra and her four kids start rubbing dirt all over her. She laughs as they continue their onslaught with high pitched giggles.

Korra kneels beside her and leans down, kissing her now dirt covered forehead.

“Welcome home.”

“Yeah, such a great welcome,” Asami teases. Asami giggles more as her kids pig pile on top of her. She reaches out to pat each of them on their heads or arms, to show that she cares for each of them. “How has Mommy been with you all? Any complaints Miku, Siku, Nikka, Eda?”

There’s a collective no and more tickling. Asami has tears in her eyes and her stomach hurts as Korra starts tugging the kids off of her. Asami sits up and pulls them all into her arms. Their tiny bodies melt into her and she kisses each one on the tops of their head.

“So we didn’t really get much done,” Korra says honestly. “We ended up just playing in the dirt with Naga.”

Asami looks over the kids head, seeing the pure white dog now looking as if she were naturally brown.

“Alright, let me up.” Asami pushes up from the ground and then kisses Korra on the cheek as the kids tug at her wife’s legs. “I’m gunna go grab something. Be right back.”

Asami leaves her family and grabs the hose that’s in the garage. She hooks it up to the tap. She’s glad that Korra is setting up the garden at the side of the house, so she and the kids can’t see what she’s doing. She screws on the attachment so that the water will spread and be able to spray all of them at once. She turns on the water and sprints around the corner. As soon as she’s close enough, she holds down the trigger and starts spraying them all.

There’s a ton of loud squealing and barking. Everyone’s running around trying to avoid the revenge of the dirt covered Mom.

Asami fakes a maniacal laugh as she starts spraying Korra straight in the face as her wife runs towards her. Korra wraps her arms around Asami’s waist and heaves her over her shoulder.

“Run kids!” she shouts. “I’ve got her.”

Asami puts the hose down Korra’s shirt causing the cold water to hit her back directly. Korra jumps and skips around, but doesn’t let go of her.

“Okay, okay! I give. I give,” Korra eventually says as she puts Asami down.

Asami looks around at her waterlogged wife and kids.

“Well at least you all aren’t covered in dirt anymore,” Asami says positively. It’s now just turned into mud. “Seriously we need to spray everyone down before we go inside.” She points the hose at Naga. “Especially you!” The dog’s head sags and she hides behind Korra’s legs. The kids follow Naga’s lead and join the dog.

“I have to agree with Mom,” Korra says as she starts corralling them over to Asami.

“Who’s first?” Asami asks. “We could go oldest first.”

“Sounds good to me.”

Korra pushes Siku towards Asami. She then sprays him down and gives him a kiss to his forehead.

“Thanks for taking the lead,” Asami praises him.

Eda is next, then Miku, and then their youngest Nukka. The real struggle is Naga though. Korra has to chase down the dog and then hold her down. Asami effectively gets Korra as wet as the dog in the process.

When Korra lets go of the dog, she holds out her hand for the hose. “Your turn.”

Asami sighs, but resigns to her fate. She hands the hose over and is soon drenched head to toe. Her clothes cling to her as Korra and her usher the kids into the house. They’d spend the rest of time before dinner giving them baths and then Naga.

New Descriptions!!!

           Firstly, we have Hunting Palismen! Palisman Pairing Day… Eda mentioned in Witches before Wizards that witches get their STAFFS when they graduate, which;

           Does this mean that Witches get their Palismans prior to graduation… But they only get the staffs needed to wield them upon graduation? Or did the rules change in the last thirty or so years? Is Belos trying to get kids to graduate ASAP to enter his workforce, bind them into a coven as early as possible?

           WILL WE SEE THE OTHERS WITH THEIR OWN PALISMEN I am SO excited for this episode, will we see Willow, Gus, and Amity with palismen? Background characters with palismen, and cameos for Boscha, Skara, Viney and the Detention Kids??? Palismen would provide SUCH an opportunity for aesthetic and character symbolism, I am HYPED…!

           I do have to wonder- Will kids actually make their palismen, or are they just figuring out which type they’ll pair with? Eda said she made Owlbert, but she’s an exception- So it’s possible that Palismen are premade and assigned to witches… Is this another change from Belos, or how it’s always been?

           If kids aren’t making palismen anymore, could it be due to palisman wood dwindling as a resource, so they have to reuse some? That’d be interesting… And of course, Luz doesn’t pair with any particular palisman of her own! Is the Cardinal from the trailers a Palisman she tried to assign herself towards, but it just didn’t work out- And now the two are working together, perhaps to eventually find out that it CAN work?

           Will Luz perhaps go reach out to the Bat Queen to figure out what her Palisman should be, maybe even adopt one? Again, I adore the idea of Luz adopting a broken palisman for a HUGE list of reasons, found family and whatnot, and also the idea of conservation and rehabilitation, giving these palismans a new home of sorts, how it defies the prejudice that some people have about adopting previously-owned or abuse pets, shelter pets, etc.

           Perhaps Luz will start off with the idea of finding a lost and broken Palisman –like herself- with the Bat Queen, only to stumble across Kikimora and the Emperor’s Coven trying to attack! She of course helps, but this also makes me wonder- With the mention of a ‘foe’ that Luz is working with… Is she working with the Golden Guard? It’s an idea I’d considered beforehand, hence why she has his staff- After all, GG is a rather diplomatic person who will initiate deals and alliances with his enemies without anyone really asking him to!

           Again, there’s that shot from the trailer that looks like his own staff was made from a wild witch’s… Will we see the Golden Guard give a flashback, some backstory into how Belos killed and consumed his Palisman, before converting GG’s staff into the technological one we see today? Does the Golden Guard want to secretly, covertly defy Belos’ extermination of Palismen and their wood, due to his own sentimental feelings and morality- Or is he just trying to use Luz, and she sees a mutual goal she can help him with?

           Perhaps the Golden Guard arranges for a deal with Luz- He’ll stop hunting Palismen if she helps him with this… And/or he’s secretly going against Belos, but in a way that still benefits everyone! It’s possible the Cardinal that Luz has on her shoulder is a broken palisman she befriends- But what if it’s GG in disguise? What if that’s his own palisman, a new one he befriended after the first was killed by Belos, and GG has decided that no more… No more palismen will be hurt!

           Him siding with Luz for this one incident could add to the Golden Guard’s placement between Lilith and Kikimora in the intro… And it’d add to his general ambiguity as a character, as someone who DOES disagree with Belos and will gladly go against him from time to time, but otherwise supports him for the most part. GG could be a contrast and parallel to Lilith, as someone in the Emperor’s Coven with his own morals that makes him defy Belos behind his back, even if overall he still agrees- Except he’s operating more on moral principles, compared to Lilith’s needed bias with her own sister.

           We might see Kikimora figure out the Golden Guard’s treachery and get deeply angered, especially since she’s had to deal with this kid for so long- So she sees an opportunity for some vengeance and transforms into that Hand Dragon… And it’s possible we’ll see GG be banned from the Emperor’s Coven for this, which would REALLY change things up, quickly, as he becomes a rogue agent of his own, one that Luz begins to sympathize with and wants to convince to join her cause…

           Or, GG’s mistake will be tolerated. He might remain hidden, and/or he makes up for it… But he also might get punished, as I’ve speculated before!

           Then in Eda’s Requiem, we have a ‘special witch’ from Eda’s past, obviously Rayne… And they’re enlisting her help in a rebellion against Belos??? This could be a trap, what if it’s not public that Rayne has officially replaced the Bard Coven leader… Their promotion could be EXTREMELY recent, by the events of this episode actually!

           Are they rebelling in part because they don’t want this position, and/or they accepted it as a means of infiltrating Belos’ network and providing information to the rebellion? Could Rayne be associated with the investors at Blight Industries, who seemed interested in the Abomatons and other inventions of Alador- Because the Golden Guard implies the potential for a private army? We might see other pockets and cells of rebellion, some with less altruistic motives, come into play- Especially with Willow and Gus’ protest emboldening everyone.

           Is Rayne being ideological, or do they have their own motives? I’ve speculated before that the original Bard Head was their father… Did Belos kill their father, leading to Rayne’s disillusionment? Is Rayne trying to protect their father, and that’s how they were enlisted as his replacement in the first place? Did Rayne’s father also plot against Belos and was deposed and/or killed for this, and now Rayne is following in his footsteps?

          We could see the show suggest and delve into the idea of a full-blown rebellion against Belos, with Rayne possibly working at the helm, but who knows? Maybe they’ll have to betray Eda after all –again, for their father- or so they can prove themselves to Belos and be promoted as Coven Head… Either for personal gain, or because they’re trying to work against the Emperor from within! 

          Which could lead to a painful misunderstanding, fully justifiable on Eda’s behalf, that Rayne doesn’t care and just used her… Which isn’t entirely wrong, either- And Rayne can only accept this in agonizing silence, because they can’t tell the truth, at least not yet…

           Or, Eda and Rayne knowingly work together to get the latter the Bard Head position! Maybe Eda forgives Rayne a little when she finds out, and respects the mischief and trickery and scamming! Rayne’s betrayal could remind her of Lilith, but if Rayne was actually altruistic in THEIR motives, that could change things for Eda… But it’s called Eda’s Requiem, so we might expect angst and a genuine betrayal, a loss of friendship- And THAT would hurt!

           And then, Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Hooty’s Door has him attempting to help the trio! Baseless speculation I shall throw out, will he try to turn himself into an autonomous creature to help, only to transform into a terrifying owl monster, the one from the trailer? Maybe from trying to split the curse further with Eda and Lilith? Or will this just be a breather episode where the characters are allowed to mostly just exist and interact with one another, enjoy each other? That’d be nice…

Gus meeting the Blight Twins!

           With regards to recent developments with characters and whatnot… I think it’d be interesting to see Gus interact with Emira and Edric. Gus is someone who is proudly a dweebus, like his father Perry before him, and so on and so forth; He mentions a ‘long’ line of dweebuses to Eda, after all! So there’s this shared concept of a family lineage that one ‘lives up to’, or at least carries out… Although given how well-adjusted Gus is compared to the Blight kids, obviously Perry was far more lenient about it than Odalia and Alador, and Gus’ interest in being a nerd was something genuine that came from a legitimate appreciation of his dad!

           Meanwhile, Emira and Edric clearly make fun of the idea of being a nerd, although they don’t seem maliciously against it, nor do they seem like people who’d insist on bullying someone else… The exception of course is Amity, but they still DO care for her as their little sister. Plus, there may have been concerns about what Amity’s dedication to schoolwork was doing for her mental health, how a lot of that may have come from the expectations of their parents… And so it can make it difficult to discern where Amity legit enjoys learning, and where she’s doing this for Odalia and Alador.

          That could lead to maybe the Blight Twins infantilizing Amity, believing they ‘know’ her better than others, and wanting Amity to get away from being a nerd and teasing her about it… When in reality, like Amity herself probably, they don’t realize the distinction between learning, and school itself as a system, particularly under Belos’ rule. Regardless, after seeing what when on with Mittens, and their concern for her amidst it (even if they didn’t handle this concern very productively despite likely meaning to)… I have to wonder how this could apply to Gus?

          I can see the Blight Twins getting to know Gus, they think he’s a cute little kid, and like everybody else, they adopt him as a little brother! Gus eats it all up, he’s a kid who likes the attention of course. No doubt, Emira and Edric are inspired by Gus’ skill with illusions, likely seeing him as capable of being better than even them, and encourage it! Gus, of course, is flattered and feels better about himself.

           It’d be cute to see Ed and Em give Gus a few pointers on Illusions… Maybe receiving a lesson or two from him, because even if they don’t like school or learning, they’d at least enjoy the pragmatic effects of illusions in pulling off pranks and their little rebellions! However, I can also see them maybe looking down on Gus as being even younger to them than Amity is… Without meaning to, they might accidentally contribute to Gus’ feelings of being overlooked. Especially since Emira and Edric might try to encourage Gus to join in on their mischief, or ‘misuse’ his lessons to pull off pranks…

           Gus could feel a bit conflicted. But on the other hand, he HAS gone through growth, and Perry was clearly a much more supporting parent than Odalia and Alador. I can see Gus vouching for himself, refusing to participate in anything… And worst-case scenario, Emira and Edric wonder why he’s being so stuck-up, but otherwise they respect the kid’s decisions, and don’t try to force him in! They didn’t hold any grudges against Luz for going against their plan to post Amity’s diary entries, after all. Maybe Gus enjoys the role of being a teacher, but also feels obligated to do more than just provide academic lessons, but emotional ones as well…

           Either through Luz, through his observations of Amity’s crippling self-loathing, and/or hearing down the grapevine… Gus realizes that Emira and Edric aren’t doing so well! Maybe he tries to ‘set them on the right track’, or at least try to provide some form of therapy… He probably feels bad because Odalia and Alador are utter trash, whilst current evidence points towards Perry being one of the best parents this show has to offer!

           And while I can see Ed and Em being touched and flattered by the gesture, maybe they’re also put off by it as well, because Gus is WAY too young to be telling them what to do… But like with Luz, they hold no grudges and mostly just appreciate the sentiment, at least. Maybe this contributes to Gus feeling like he’s not listened to, and maybe some genuine concern for Ed and Em as yet another addition to his collection of surrogate older siblings… I can also see Gus getting in over his head, thinking he really DOES know best, and perhaps intruding on some boundaries!

           Which, this could lead to Emira and Edric maybe getting a bit more hostile, if they see similarities to Amity because of this… And then they might realize that hey, Gus IS a lot like Mittens, in a sense! They’re both young, child prodigies who do incredibly well, they speak of a family lineage they’re proud of and apparently feel obligated to carry out… Amity is aiming for the Emperor’s Coven, but even SHE hasn’t ascended a few grades like Gus has! Which could lead to some concern for Gus, that maybe Perry is pressuring him, maybe imposing the ‘Porter’ legacy onto the kid…

           And while Gus DOES have some insecurities here or there, of being younger than the rest in his grade- I’m pretty sure he’s ultimately happy with the decision, and it’s something he agreed to alongside Perry! I say this because he’s clearly more happy and confident in himself than most of the cast, really, and if he DID have an issue with being above his grade… Like with Willow, the kid probably would’ve had this addressed and changed. I think it’s more than likely that Gus actually enjoys learning a lot, and he DOES appreciate ascending a few grades- He really seems to enjoy Illusions! It’s just that as a kid, and because of his unusual situation, he’s entitled to some insecurity here or there, but in the end, he doesn’t regret his decision; Just as Eda may have suffered from loneliness as a Wild Witch, but she DID choose this, she’d never change her mind to become a covenscout, and maybe her sister Lilith needs to acknowledge this!

           Which, if Emira and Edric also act as (surrogate) older siblings, like Lilith was to Eda… Then maybe they’ll have to learn to recognize Gus’ own decision and autonomy when it came to passing a few grades. Or at the very least, they first try to do things for Gus’ ‘own good’ like they did with Amity… Perhaps they misread the situation Gus has with Perry, maybe they project some of their own experiences, and accidentally try to vicariously live out another rebellion against parents through Gus…

           Either way, they try to get Gus to rebel, to care less for his grades, to not listen to Perry, etc. And while Gus may at least learn to voice a thing or two with Perry (assuming he hasn’t already), it could lead to an artificial rift between father and son. Gus might feel uncomfortable, but he also recognizes that Ed, Em, and Amity WERE abused, so maybe they DO know better what his situation at home is actually like…

           Spoiler alert, Emira and Edric have no idea! And while they mean well, this could lead to them trying the same tactics as they did with Amity, towards Gus… Again, encouraging him not to be a ‘rule-follower’, unintentionally belittling him and encouraging Gus to listen to them! Maybe not- Emira and Edric MAY have learned their lesson with Amity by now, but it’s not out of the question for them to occasionally, accidentally, relapse into old habits. Abuse and toxicity are hard to unlearn, man.

           Maybe Emira and Edric even convince Gus to move back down to a lower grade! But in the end, Gus isn’t happy with this, he feels his intellectual needs aren’t being meant and his mind isn’t stimulated enough- He misses being back at his older grade level! Emira and Edric might try to dismiss this, that this is for his own good… But in the end, Gus has a lot of self-respect. He’s not Amity, nor Willow… He’s a lot more like Luz in that regard. He WILL eventually have to vouch for himself, and/or Emira and Edric will notice how uncomfortable he is before that has to happen.

           In the end, Ed and Em realize that they’ve been mistakenly projecting their own insecurities onto Gus, and that they’ve screwed him over like they did Mittens, assuming they know the best; When in reality they don’t! This could lead to a crisis for the two, doubting their own judgment in anything… And Gus reassures the Twins that while they’re not perfect, they DID make progress against Odalia and Alador, and at least they’re trying! And then Gus says he’s proud of them, as a teacher, and as a ‘little brother’ to them in a sense… And Emira and Edric remember that even though Gus is a little kid, he knows a lot and has a lot of advice to offer- So they accept this, and they accept Gus’ autonomy and decision.

          When Gus refers to being a part of a ‘long line of dweebuses’, he takes pride because his relationship with Perry is likely pretty good, and he genuinely looks up to his father and admires him because of this… And Gus WANTS to be a dweebus, because it’s something to be proud of; Knowing who you are and sticking with it! It’s Perry making Gus self-confident, that causes the kid to take pride in the Porter legacy, so to speak…

           I can see some apologies being made, especially if Gus may have gone overboard himself, here or there- Maybe to the same extent as Ed and Em, maybe not. Either way, I can see Emira and Edric trying to leave Gus alone, for fear that they’ll just mess him up like they did Amity… And either Gus respectfully gives the two time to figure themselves out, and/or he once again reassures them! And Emira and Edric are baffled at how precocious this kid is, but are also impressed, while recognizing that Gus is still a kid by the end of the day and needs emotional support, just as much as anyone else, just as much as Mittens…!

           And, I can see this leading to Emira and Edric better understanding Amity, and treating her with more love and respect; Especially now that they know that her situation is certifiably worse than Gus’. Obviously I can’t compare insecurities and act like Gus’ are lesser than Amity’s, his feelings are still valid… But let’s be real, Odalia and Alador are objectively worse than Perry! Either way, Gus DOES pass on a lot of wisdom to the twins, and ends up improving the Blight siblings’ relationship without even meaning to! Way to go, kid.
