Can someone enjoy a work and criticizing it at the same time? Sorry if this ask so sudden.

Yes.

The Wittebane lore got me interested in The Owl House in the first place and introduced me to a passionate fandom, which included @anglerflsh. The way "Watching and Dreaming" did it dirty by ignoring all the build-up from Season 2 to the first two episodes of Season 3 is so egregious. I've had bad times among the fandom, but it's been great to find people with whom I could discuss the show from a critical lens on Tumblr and the Discord server of @mdhwrites.

Philip would absolutely get along with Bai Jin from Karakuri Circus over having older brothers who abandoned them and everything they stood for—even though both of them had looked up to and had the closest bonds with their brothers since childhood—and how the writers did them dirty by neglecting their backgrounds and misrepresenting their motives. I count Bai Yin among the worst brothers in fiction alongside Yuguro Musa from Moribito II: Guardian of the Darkness and Akio Ohtori from Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's egregious how Fujita refuses to criticize him as much as he does with Bai Jin given the themes of love and relationships in the manga.

As for Witch Hat Atelier, I love Tartah's arc in which he finds a way around his disability and the Romonon arc in which the apprentices complement each other, helping them grow up—Richeh's and Eunie's backstories are among the greatest in the series and Eunie's internal struggles connect with the lore too! I wish Shirahama had been more resolute in criticizing the rigidity and cruelty of witch society like she did with Coco's, Agott's, Tartah's, Richeh's, and Eunie's backgrounds.

Why is Qifrey not allowed to convey his struggles through his own voice like the apprentices, Luluci, and Dagda? Why do almost every bad adult figure—including Beldaruit who partook in the neglect of Qifrey by the adults around him and blames his own apprentice for being the way he is due to it—escape a call-out for their behavior unlike Luluci's teacher? Why are the Knights Moralis allowed to act like judges, juries, and executioners? Why do they threaten to erase people's memories first instead of asking questions whenever they show up? Why do they not pursue the Brimmed Caps as much as Qifrey has been doing on his own when they are supposed to enforce the law of magic? Where are detectives and attorneys? Why has Luluci been granted kindness and understanding when everyone else—even Agott from the prestigious house of Arkrome—receives nothing but cruelty and ignorance from the Knights Moralis?

Speaking from experience, I find people to be more open to criticism for The Owl House than for Witch Hat Atelier. People such as @imsosocold, @let-us-cultivate-our-garden, @mdhwrites, @peacesmovingcabaret, @the-enchanted-archivist have talked about the flaws of The Owl House but I've never seen anyone examining the series from a critical lens like them on Tumblr or Discord.

Lmk ss edits + headcanons, Part 4 (Jin & Yin, Ao Lie, Tripitaka, Bai He)

- He/Him, He/They

- Pansexual, Bisexual

- They both have chronic separation anxiety, its why they're never apart; Yin tends to go non-verbal and more withdrawn without Jin, and Jin gets really agressive and paranoid without Yin.

- Yin can't sleep if he has nerves, Jin can do nothing BUT sleep if he has nerves

- Jin always forgets something at home, Yin reminded him a hundred times before they left

- Yin doodles on the corner of their blueprint papers whenever they're making something new, Jin cuts them out later and glues them into a sketchbook so they don't get lost

- Jin's hips are constantly covered in bruises because he's always bumping into shit (has NO spacial awareness whatsoever)

- Yin listens to rock music, Jin doesn't have a specific genre

- Somehow are simultaneously the most innocent and dirty minded people, you'll never know what you're gonna get at any given moment

- Yin always finds a way to drown in inch deep water (really bad at swimming)

- ^^^Jin laughs at him

- After they found out Mei and MK didn't like eachother as anything more than friends, they tried to trap him in the calabash again but used Redson to try and seduce him instead, MK immediately knew it was them

- Jin was talking really fast cause he was panicking once and called the Demon accountant "Semon accountant" and has still not recovered

- Yin laughed his ass off when it happened and constantly reminds him of it

- Jin likes his pillow warm (he's insane)

- They both occasionally become self aware and wind up having a weird crisis trying to figure out whether their horns are a part of their skull or something else

- Both are cat people, they're terrified of dogs, being trapped in a room with one is one of their worst nightmares

- Neither of them has clean hair, it is a fucking rock you will not be able to comb that shit out

- Jin rants about new ideas, Yin writes/draws them down

- Yin will bite you if you get near him while he's eating, bro's feral

- Jin stubs his toe atleast three times a day and screams in agony every. Single. Time. Eventually Yin just stopped running to check on him, it's happened so many times that he can distinguish what Jin's scream sounds like specifically when he stubs his toe

- Yin spent several months slowly moving everything in their house slightly to the right everyday, Jin cried cause he thought he was going insane

- Jin smells like cinnamon, Yin smells like caramel (I'm delusional, they both reek)

- Jin's love language is words of affirmation, Yin's love language is quality time

- Yin is terrified of cockroaches, Jin keeps some as pets

- Jin tried to dox Mei during one of her streams, Mei showed up at their house instead, it was terrifying

- The Demon accountant has to use a pressure hose to wash them

- They were banned from the arcade but they kept showing up begging to be unbanned, the staff eventually started feeling bad and let them back in

- Yin always throws out his drawings if they don't turn out how he wanted them to, Jin fishes them out of the trash when Yin isn't looking and keeps them in a sketchbook under his bed

- He/Him

- ??? Bisexual, probably

- Favourite animal is a leaf slug, it just feels right

- Mei's number one supporter

- Ate a strawberry once and found a worm inside, never ate strawberries again

- Constantly bothered Zhu Bajie during their Journey to the west, he thought it was funny seeing him get upset

- "I swear to buddha, if you ask me 'why' one more time" " Why?"

- Wukong pulled a bug out of his hair once and he freaked out and made Tripitaka go through his hair for him

- Heaviest sleeper of the group, when he falls asleep he is OUT,

- Has horrible bed head and his hair takes forever to comb out

- Really bad at math

- Wakes Tripitaka up in the middle of the night to ask the dumbest questions

- Refuses to wear shoes, he's in his horse form for most of their Journey anyway so he doesn't see the point in having any at all

- Would absolutely down a container of melatonin gummies if he had the opportunity

- Had to comfort Wukong while he puked after chugging a gallon of salt water once

- Mei gets her ':3' face from him

- Trips over his hair as much as his sleeves, no matter how much of his hair he ties up somehow it always ends up in his face or under his foot and he's down

- Follow up on the last headcanon, he's tried to cut his hair before to stop this from happening, it did not work, his hair grew back really fast

- He's like a cat, if you tell him not to push something over, he'll push it over

- Favourite colour is actually rose gold, but green is a very close second

- DBK let him hold Redson after the Samadhi removal ritual was over and Ao Lie immediately dropped him (DBK caught him before he hit the ground, but Ao Lie was banned from holding him again)

- Can eat an entire buffet and not gain a single pound

- Smells like Mint

- Love language is physical touch

- Chews on his sleeves when he's bored

- Gets along surprisingly well with Nezha despite Nezha's and Ao Bing's history

- Really good at singing

- Since he's a water Demon, he gets overheated really easily in the sun so whenever they come across any kind of water (river, pond, puddle, etc) he'll just flop sideways and lay there for like 20 minutes to cool down

- Actually thought Mei was his sister for a minute until he realized it wasn't her when they first met

- He/Him

- AroAce

- Sometimes gets visons and dreams of his life as the Golden Cicada

- Tripitaka, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujin can see what their descendants/reincarnations are up to

- He cried on Freenoodles wedding day... it was not of joy, Zhu Bajie also threw up several times

- Once joked about having to shave all of Wukongs fur off now that he's a Monk and Wukong cried

- Absolutely HATES when people enter a room before knocking

- Would probably be scared of popping candy if he ever heard them (bubblegum, pop rocks, etc)

- Hates when people fold the corner of a page as a bookmark

- Constantly corrects people's spelling; "it's 'you're' not 'your' "

- Can't stand the sound of people chewing with their mouths open

- Has naturally long lashes

- Weak ass ankles

- Tried to teach Wukong how to read and gave up in a few hours because he refused to pay attention

- Cries whenever someone brings up his and Zhu Bajie's pregnancy, it's what keeps him up at 3am (if you haven't read JTTW, I'm sorry that this is how you found out)

- Surprisingly has a really good singing voice

- Always writes in cursive and no one can read it

- Understands cicadas

- In JTTW (chapter 39, i think) Tripitaka encountered a demon who impersonated him so well that even with his golden vision Wukong couldn't tell them apart and mistakingly attacked the real one, Tripitaka still gets nightmares about Wukong almost killing him

- Favourite colour is yellow

- Smells like oranges

- Has little freckles

- Extremely texture picky

- Vegetarian

- Has almost lost his hat (???) multiple times due to being kidnapped so often, it's a miracle he hasn't lost it yet

- She/Her

- Ally

- Has stretch marks as a result of her bones and skin being stretched out while she was possessed by the Lady Bone Demon

- White streaks in her hair from the possession

- Even after being freed from the Lady Bone Demon, her skin was never quite right, always too pale or too cold, with little snowflake markings here and there just barely visible

- Always cold, she has to wear multiple layers of clothing to help deal with it, doesn't matter how hot it is outside, she's always wearing something warm

- Has eyebags because she gets recurring nightmares about the Lady Bone Demon and hardly gets any sleep anymore

- Has very faint freckles

- Definitely believes/believed in those "spells to turn you into a mermaid/fairy/vampire" YouTube videos

- Made potions as a kid (it's windex, food dye, and glitter mixed together)

- Used to believe that if you ate a seed it'd grow in your stomach and had a meltdown when she accidentally swallowed watermelon seeds

I’m trying to manifest Macaque being a single parent of one daughter who’s just figuring out how to give Bai he the best life he can possibly give her.

Meanwhile there’s Wukong who has like five kids and is a veteran at parenting… he’s seen everything.

Macaque thinks his one kid will scare people off but Wukong knows his kids will actively try to kill anyone if they tried to date him.

Wukong embraces the chaos that comes with a full house of kids while Macaque is still trying to be the parent who has his kid doing millions of after school activities and his house is pristine.

Just them being parents is all I want

The story of the Wittebane brothers from The Owl House reminds me of the story of the Bai brothers from Karakuri Circus both in concept and execution.

The entire plot of each series kickstarts when the older brother abandons the younger brother and everything they had pursued together for years for a foreign woman. The younger brother goes mad afterwards, creates a series of artificial beings in the image of a loved one, acquires immortality through immoral means, and becomes the main antagonist of the series. The main antagonist is a foil to the kid hero and possesses or has possessed another human being at some point.

Each series suggests a more complex and sympathetic side of the main antagonist, only to reduce his character to a crazy villain.

In the case of the Wittebane brothers, at least it was a good thing that Caleb unlearned his community's toxic values and the show is so vague on their story that it gives us no idea of what Evelyn's face looked like.

As for the Bai brothers, Karakuri Circus presents their story in a far more visible, albeit equally misleading, manner. Bai Yin nonsencially developed a contempt for his family business after finding out about Francine's tragic background and made that clear to his younger brother while withholding crucial information about his future wife, who had already been good friends with his younger brother, in a moment of callous selfishness. It was Bai Jin who remembered her love for clowns and entertainers even after his descent to madness.

I can't speak a lot about Dana Terrace as I'm only interested in the Wittebane brothers. As for Kazuhiro Fujita, this same manga creator portrayed Lucille, Angelina, and Shoji in a far more graceful manner, so it wasn't like he didn't know better as a writer.
