Illusions, A Case Study In Theming

One of the problems with writing magic into a story is working it into the plot. it is hard to link the three and make them feel cohesive and consequential.

There is also the matter of theming. The power progression and the magic itself. The best good example of this is early DragonBall, in which the story is about defeating more powerful opponents with skill and tactics, and the best bad example is late DragonBall, where power creep is a real problem.

But this blog isn't about DragonBall. This is about the Owl House, specifically how illusion magic is used to emphasise the theme of self-honesty in Something Ventured, Someone Framed.

Let me explain.

SPOILERS AHEAD

So, what do I mean by self-honesty?

I mean accepting one's mistakes, not just acknowledging them. And this episode does this in two storylines. Eda and Bump, and Gus and Matt.

Gus and Matt are identical characters. Well, not identical, but pretty similar in actions and motivations. They both want glory and acceptance, and have sought out the Human Appreciation Society as a means of doing so. And both are using lies and deceptions to get what they want. I understand that there are nuances in the differences between the two, but the similarities draw out their differences, and those nuances are the whole point of Gus' arc in this episode.

This episode actually does a bit of a bait and switch with its themes. It presents itself as an episode about honesty to everyone else, with Gus lying to not just Luz, but to the teachers with his illusions, and to others with his general demeanour. Gus doesn't know as much about humans as he presents, and he uses his sheer force of charisma to bluff his way through that. But then the episode gives us Matt's revelation.

"I... have something to say. I'm new here at Hexside. M-making friends has been hard, so I lied. They're all fakes. I thought if I was important enough, people would like me. But I've caused enough drama. So, I'll go. I'm sorry."

Jorge Diaz (Matt's Voice Actor) nails this line. The guilt, the hesitation, the sadness, the frustration, everything in this line is on point. Combine that with the posturing of the character and the camera framing him in its centre, and Matt is being genuine here, he's being vulnerable in front of people he has alienated, and that's excedingly difficult. Even knowing what happens next, this doesn't strike me as a lie.

But what happens next is important as well. Matt calls the authorities as a power grab, walking back everything he has said. And here is where the real theming comes through. Because at this point, both Gus and Matt have been found out, they have given up the lie. But they think that that is that. Matt immediately goes back on his word, he regresses because despite everything, that crown is still more important to him than anything else, because of the acceptance it gives.

Both of these characters need to learn to confront their mistakes and take accountability. They need to be honest to themselves, and while Gus learns that in this episode, Matt learns this over the course of the rest of the show.

But I mentioned illusions, and this is an episode with relatively few actual spells cast. So, what do I mean?

Take a look at how illusions work in this series. Yes, they are intangible, but they are also very much real and have extreme side effects. If the kid pictured above had been trying this spell without the help of a teacher, they would probably have died.

This works with the conclusion of the episode, in which illusions are used to save everyone. In this world, instead of an illusion being maligned, an illusion is a tool. To lie, you need to understand the repercussions of your actions, but more than that, you need to take accountability. This episode doesn't associate illusions with deception, but with consequences, both good and bad.

Eda doesn't have the illusions motif, but she does fit into the theme of self-honesty rather well. Put simply, to get Luz into school, she needs to remedy some of her own mistakes, confronting her past. She doesn't change, but she accepts that actions have consequences and... you get the point.

Final Thoughts:

Something Ventured, Someone Framed is one of those episodes that I personally looked back on with a considerable amount of distaste. But upon rewatch, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this is written. The animation is stellar as is usual for the Owl House, but the standout is the detention room. I just think that colour combination is cool.

The illusions are framed differently to how most other media depicts the concept, and the acting on the entire cast is really compelling, which I really like. Matt and Gus are the most notable example of how the final season being cut short ended up with certain characters being left comparatively underdeveloped. I would have liked to have seen more of these two.

Next week I will be covering Escape Of The Palisman, so stick around if that interests you.
