Cool Cosplay (Dean W.)

Prompt: You go to a Supernatural convention and -unknowingly- meet Dean.

The Supernatural convention is finally here. You’ve been waiting for months for the gathering, supposedly, Carver Edlund, the writer, was going to make an appearance late in the afternoon. The Supernatural books belong to a small niche because not everyone likes them. So when you started reading, you had trouble finding people involved in the fandom as much as you. Meeting new fans became a slow process of writing on the internet forum. That’s how you met one of your best friends, Celeste Middleton.

She seemed very into the books, just like you, although her fanaticism was different because she didn't partake in the discussion of the characters or the narrative, she was mostly interested in learning about the monsters and the ways to kill them. You, on the other hand, couldn't shut up about your love for Castiel, and how much of an underrated character he was. But because you were also interested in the monsters, you became quick friends and met up a couple of times. It was she that told you about the supernatural convention. You also agreed to go together and dress up as your favorite characters. You, obviously put on a trench coat, and she decided to be Charlie, the redheaded tech friend of the hunter brothers.

“Even if you’re a redhead, I still don’t think you quite fit as Charlie.” You tell her while walking through the stands.

One of the sellers has a collection of Castiel stickers that you stop to watch. The best thing about this type of convention is that everyone in the fandom can bring their own things to share and sell. If the fandom were bigger, that probably wouldn't be allowed.

“Really?” Celeste asks with incredulity. “I’m a hacker; she’s a hacker, I’m gay; she’s gay, I’m a badass; she’s a badass. What’s more to compare?”

“Celeste, there’s more to Charlie than being gay, you know?”

She chuckles, “oh, believe me, I know.” She murmurs.

You’re about to answer something when one of the nearby stands calls your attention. It’s one of the writers whose fanfic you’ve been reading. “C’mon, let’s go over here.” She follows without hesitation.

While you decide to buy one of the copies of your favorite fanfiction, your friend’s checking something on her phone. “So, you remember the friends I told you about?”

You think briefly, “the ones that were curious about the convention and wanted to come?”

“The same ones!” She announces, “they just got here, wait for me while I go get them?”

You're way too interested in your new acquisition, to really pay attention to her words. “Yeah, yeah, sure.”

Celeste told you about some friends that she had that weren't supernatural fans, but wanted to get to know the fandom and the surrounding fame. You're not sure whether there's anything interesting to learn considering they haven’t read the books, but you’ll be the best tour guide you can be. Your friend comes back shortly after, followed by two tall guys that are dressed up in a way that reminds you, probably too much, of certain characters in the books.

“I thought you said they weren’t fans?” You ask Celeste.

The one dressed up as Dean chuckles, “oh, we’re not, sweetheart, believe me.”

You look at him with incredulity, “well, then, why are you dressed up as Dean, and your friend here as Sam?”

The Sam cosplayer shifts uncomfortably under your scrutiny. The Dean cosplayer, though, is quick to answer, “because we are Sam and Dean.”

The encounter is proving to be way too funny. You look back at Celeste, “and they role-play too?” In spite of being dressed as Castiel, you’ve never been too much of a role player, so it amuses you that some non-fans are very into the characters. Even fake Dean’s voice is how you imagined real Dean’s voice would be like.

Sam throws an annoyed glance at Dean . “What my ah- friend here is trying to say is that our names are actually Sam and Dean, and Cha- Celeste convinced us to come as the characters in the books.” There’s something in his words that doesn’t quite persuade you.

“I see,” you murmur, “you did a great job!” Your wary demeanor instantly shifts to a friendly one. “You really do look like Sam and Dean.”

Celeste chooses that moment to finally speak, “and I don’t look like Charlie?!” There’s incredulity and exasperation in her tone.

Because you already had this discussion multiple times in the day, you decide to ignore her. Looking at Dean, you add, “though you need the Samulet, did you forget to put it on?” You pull something out of your trench coat pocket, “here, I’ll give you mine.” Technically, your costume didn’t need the jewelry, but you decided to keep it for some reason.

You extend your arm and give it to Dean, who takes it reluctantly. “Oh, thanks? But I’m good.” He tries to give it back.

“No, I insist. If you’re going to do cosplay, you’re going to do it good.” At your insistence, he takes it.

Celeste smiles mischievously. “Yes, my friend right here is a very good fan of Supernatural.” She looks up and down your outfit, “guess who her favorite character is.”

You don’t even let the boys speak, “obviously Castiel.” As if there’s any contest with the rest of the characters. “After all, he’s an Angel of the Lord .” Your imitation is too bad that Sam and Charlie can’t avoid laughing.

Dean chuckles, “so, you’re not a Dean girl?” You’re not sure, but there’s something in his voice akin to disappointment.

“Dean is ok, but there’s no one like Castiel.” You clear your throat, trying to contain the excitement when speaking of your favorite character. “I mean, he’s sweet, powerful, understanding…”

“Cas? Really?” Now he’s almost indignant, “and Dean is definitely more than ok.”

Now, normally, you’re a pacifist, but you’re not going to let this rando talk bad about your fictional love. “How would you know? Considering that you’ve never read the books before.”

There’s a hint of condescension in his voice, “oh, honey, I know, I-.”

But before he can say anything else, Sam interrupts. “So! Why don’t you girls show us around?”

Dean seems to be completely annoyed by being interrupted, but he doesn’t complain when his friend Sam tugs him forward. At this point, a lot more people have arrived at the convention. The fans of Supernatural are not enough to be a crowd, but not as small as to allow you to recognize everyone. Your group is not the only one dressed up as the characters. You mostly see Deans and Sams lingering around, but there are also some Bobbys, Johns, Castiels, and even famous monsters like the walling woman. Sam and Dean (the ones in your group) take everything in with open eyes, and, sometimes, uncomfortable gazes. You and Celeste show them to the different stands, there are merchandise, game tables, fanfiction tables, fanart artists, and discussion tables. There’s anything and everything to make the Supernatural experience enjoyable. You can even see a fake tattoo artist draw a devil’s trap, in, well, a fake Meg.

“Oh, and the author, Carver Edlund, is supposed to be giving a conference and signing,” you finish your tour.

This last bit is what interests the boys the most, “really? Do you know when?”

“Uh, I don’t know. I suppose in a few hours,” you answer Sam’s question.

If he is disappointed by your lack of knowledge, you don't notice because you're too busy now looking at a stand full of drawing of different supernatural characters. It doesn't take you long to buy what you want, though, by the time you turn around, you see that all of your companions are chatting in whispers a few steps away. They seem to be in a heated discussion, so you don't dare to go near them. Whatever they're talking about must be private. Nevertheless, on some occasions, you catch them looking your way and then continue speaking. Are they talking about you? Out of the blue, Dean and Sam start a game of rock, paper, and scissors. Dean wins and cheers in place as if it’s something that doesn’t happen often. Before you can even try to make up your mind to approach them, Celeste and Sam walk away, while Dean returns to you.

“What happened? Where are Celeste and Sam going?”

Dean answers without hesitation, “they're taking care of something, don't worry. Why don’t you keep showing me around? They'll be back in a bit.”

Despite the fact that you are still worried about the sudden turn of events, you decide to listen to him and venture to some of the stands with Dean's company. He seems to be very on high alert because he keeps looking everywhere like something is about to jump from the crowd. He also looks at the “monsters” with a particularly nasty frown on his face that earns him some compliments for being very ‘Dean’. The demeanor, though, appears too real to be fake. You try and encourage him to buy a few things while he waits you wait for your friends to return, but he really is not interested. You even suggest playing a game, but he refuses. The only thing he seems to be remotely curious about is a particular stand on Supernatural creatures the brothers have defeated. You try to be a good guide by letting him in on your knowledge about the supernatural.

“And you learned all of this from the books?” He is really surprised by all the things that you've told him, even to the point of slightly forgetting about keeping his guard up.

“Some, other things I’ve researched on my own or Celeste told me.” Your hand caresses one of the books’ covers with a vampire. “I know it’s not real, but it’s fascinating to know.”

Then you dive into a full-on explanation about the different, fictional, possible ways one can get rid of certain monsters that you come up with. Things that supernatural books and your research don’t quite show that you think could work as an alternative to certain methods. You jokingly tell him that sometimes your mind wanders into the possibility of the supernatural being real, and you cannot help to think about it. Dean seems deeply impressed, and then something else.

“You know? You’d make one hell of a hunter,” he nods approvingly.

“IF hunters were real,” you respond instantly.

He chuckles, “sure, sure, if they were.”

You continue through the convention for half an hour, this time he seems to be more taken by you than before, because, despite that he’s still on guard, he makes conversation about yourself and your interest in The Supernatural books. He even tries to convince you that the best character is not Cas, but Dean. You believe that he is biased, considering that his name is the same one as the one from the character. Sometimes you notice the way his eyes look at your figure, and you cannot find it in yourself to feel angry. More like there's a small part of you that cannot help to gloat at the feeling of a handsome man finding you attractive. Though, you believe it must have to do also with the fact that, for some reason, besides his name, your mind cannot seem to stop pairing him up with Dean from the books. You’ve never been a Dean girl, but you’re starting to think you could maybe make an exception. He has something that draws you in. Whatever it is, you’re a goner because, by the time Celeste and Sam come back, they find you entangled in each other’s arms, kissing near the restroom’s door.

A/N: For plot’s sake, let’s imagine Charlie is in the Supernatural books. Also, if reader is dressed up as Castiel, does this count as Destiel?

So...Halloween...

Today was a whirl of intense emotions that I wasn't quite ready for

Everything starting with a sense of comfort in one's self and existence...only for a very sudden reminder of that the one who society says loves you unconditionally making it crystal clear they will never regret hurting you

Making it so clear what's been obvious, that I will never exist in their eyes again, that they will never perceive me, that all they can do is continue to hurt and mock and threaten until I 'give up' and 'break' and give them their son back

That's not conjecture btw, that's their exact words

And every word, every way I KNOW is done to attack my weakness, my insecurities, told that my emotions are fake, fooling myself, that I never cared about anyone and that she hopes SHE dies soon so she won't see me 'ruin my body', my temple of God, and that I'm at fault for making her feel this way, for ruining her plans for me

Ah, but OF COURSE I'm expected to show up for Christmas too lol

words that are still effective all the same it turns out; and all I can think is, 'wouldn't it be easier if it stopped forever? if I run away forever?'

and then I just...left

no plan, I just sort of wondered out into Halloween night

dressed as Brisket because of course

Ending up at our small town's really sad display of a mall (our 'Small' as the locals say) and huh

the cashier recognized my cosplay

so we end up talking

just a casual exchange really

(their outfit was super cute btw)

and yet

I felt like I was

living

I get compliments on my look from other people, random passerbys who likely don't what a Guilty Gear is

as I leave, an older lady says I look 'adorable'

I GIGGLED out a thank you

On the way back home, I was able to put into words in my head

I am different, and my mother will NEVER have her son back

I...don't think *REDACTED DEADNAME* was ever truly alive honestly, pretending to be? forced to be? But he never felt, never laughed, never desired to be.

But Amelia...she feels. She cries...maybe too much actually. She can laugh pretty intensely too.

And Amelia

She wants to live

(364 days left until next Halloween!!)

#just have to type these feelings out #tw for implied parental abuse and transphobia and suicidal ideation #I'm okay now btw #ame post

Hi hi hi, how are you? And how about a GN!MC who's like Al/Koko from Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, Or Razor from Genshin Impact? Like an MC who's parents died and was raised by Wolves or some creature, and Solomon as MC's childhood friend and the one who taught MC.. "Human Stuff"?? (Even tho he's old but let's pretend he faked being a kid for a while /hj THOSE CHILDHOOD FRIEND SOLOMON STUFF EXISTS I ALWAYS JUST THOUGHT HE HAD SOME SPELL TO TURN HIMXINTO A KID) Like the language/vocabulary and how to walk on 2 legs (bc MC was taught to walk on all 4s by the wolves/creatures), can I have this with the brothers, dateables and luke? Like their reaction on MCs past and how Solomon was the one who taught them stuff

Demon Brothers, Dateables, And Luke With An MC Who Was Raised By Wolves ❤️💛💙💚💖🧡💜❤️💙🤍🤍

Hi! Thank you for being my first obey me request! I assume that because Solomon taught MC he doesn't need headcannons? But if you did want Solomon please let me know!

-----------------------------------------

Lucifer ❤️

"Ah so that's why you get along with Cerberus so well."

Like most of his brothers he really wouldn't have a big reaction

It's not that he doesn't care

He's just got so much work to do

But on occasion he'll ask you to tell him something about your childhood ❤️

Mammon 💛

The main brother who makes a big deal out of it

He has so many questions

To the point where it keeps him up at night

So he likes to ask you questions

But not at normal times no no

At 3 in the morning, in the middle of class, just times when you're really busy

And you have to answer him

Because he won't stop nagging you about it until you do

Please I also feel like if he was in trouble with some random demons over money he'd say something like

" Y-You wanna beat ME up? Okay. But I'll have you know that my human was raised by wolves and they aren't forgiving!"💛

Leviathan 💙

He also makes a big deal about it

But not as much as mammon

When you tell him about it he'll probably call you a protag from a random anime that fits this exact situation that he knows

He'll probably make you reenact scenes from the anime, cosplay, things of that nature

He likes to listen to your stories to plot his own anime 💙

Satan 💚

Another man who doesn't make a big deal about it

He does like to study you though

I feel like he enjoys studying humans

So he wants to compare you to a book he has about people being raised by wolves

To see of the book is accurate or not 💚

Asmodeus 💖

I think he would mostly be curious on how your hair and skin was before Solomon taught you

And after he gets his answer he quickly forms a skincare routine for you because

"We have to do this before it's too late"

Late for what?

I don't know, it just seems like something he'd say in this case

But he'd also listen to your stories about your childhood when he's like painting his nails or something 💖

Beelzebub 🧡

Very curious on what you ate when you were in the wild

And how you got it

So he likes to listen to your hunting stories while you make the food your talking about in that specific story.

After listening to your stories, Beel tries to hunt himself

But after an hour he decides this isn't for him

Because he's hungry, and it takes forever to find one thing.🧡

Belphegor 💜

He likes listening to your stories before he goes to bed

Exactly like bedtime stories

It is mandatory now that you come into his room at a certain time to tell him a very interesting story about how you were raised by wolves

And if you are not there on time, be ready for a angry belphie tracking you down.💜

Diavolo ❤️

(You are allowed to yell at me if I spelled his name wrong)

Weirdly makes a big deal out of it.

Like at any chance he gets (kinda like mammon) he'll brag about how he has 2 special humans in his exchange program

Like he's trying to prove something (he might be idk)

Dia loves hearing your stories

Once he asked you to tell him one while he was working

And he got too into the story that he stopped working

Then Lucifer yelled at you because you were "distracting Lord Diavolo"❤️

Barbatos 💙

Also likes to listen to your stories while baking or working or something

Also likes to study you

Tries not to make a big deal about it 💙

How many times have I said "big deal" God I'm so annoying I'm sorry

Simeon🤍

Hella confused

How, what, when, why

So confused to the point where it keeps him up at night

So to stop his burning questions he asks you to tell him the story of how you were raised by wolves 🤍

Luke 🤍

":0 Now I'm not the only one that they'll call chiwawa anymore!"

So excited about that fact

Loves to hear your stories

He makes frequent trips to the house of lamentation just to hear them 🤍

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoyed the headcannons and it wasn't the same thing over and over for each character. And as always if you have any requests or questions please feel free to send an ask!

ok so I was making a fake scenario in my head and accidentally made up a Crossover where TMNT, Tales of Arcadia gang and Transformers accidentally meet while trying to fight or idk but I’m just thinking they meet in some alley way after trying to hide away from the public

Like, they just fought off sum evil ppl and people come to the spot where they fought off and they run to hide somewhere and they just see eachother and they’re gonna be just like "OH HEY! THIS IS A COSPLAY! YEAH WE WERE JUST DOING OUR NORMAL HUMAN THING" expect the transformers who just say "it’s a illusion it’s in yo head" smt like that and yeah

Also It’s transformers armada, the teenage mutant turtles movie just right after they defeated krang and got Leo w/ them and where trollmarket haven’t got taken over n Vendel is still alive just like probabavvabably it’s a few episodes in the series and yeah

I bet that both Donnie and red alert would talk about technology while Donnie ask questions abt it and show off his inventions to him and both of the gangs. I mean both of them. I mean Donnie would yk show his mystic power and show his mystic guns?? In the movie or something simple like probably "hey I’ll show u a purple gun rq here 🔫" and red alert would tell him to stOp before he accidentally shoots and leave the base with a hole

Then we have Leo with Hotshot/Sideswipe or Jetfire and the wingman’s (if u don’t know it’s Toby n Arrrrgh ehe) They all would probably talk and show off how superior r they. Probably Leonardo would show his mystic power and make a portal while Toby just show how daMn light or heavy is the mf hammer but at some point Jim comes in with the sword of daylight and accidentally attracts Leo and Jetfire w/ the bro bots wouldddd probably show off their blasting or aiming skills and Hotshot would ask Jolt to get his aft here so they can superlink together and show off the cannons

Blinky would ask Optimus abt transformers history and sometimes cut him off to say abt of troll history or Vendel would also talk to scavenger abt the transformers war or smt plus Draal with Blurr they would probably exchange tactics or smt more of battling?? But it’s only probably serious things

Ah yes then we the humans with their size robots and another human with a teleporting dogcAt? and a Wizard with a chef boy with a magical sword. They all would probably talk abt their friends first before themselves but I bet Jim would talk how a mf oldass Wizard made a amulet and choose people to give trauma until they die and sometimes Claire would cut in to say abt Morgana and how she stole her damn wand thing

The tf humans talks how they found the transformers and still blames themselves how they accidentally start a war again and stills feel guilt abt it, they hug their robot friends or hold their hands while talking abt them and they hold their hand back

April would be last bc she is busy on the phone until they say "what about u??" and basically talks how dum r the turtles before she talked how they found Mayhem and hidden city and how Donnie fucked them up into jail bc of science and moogic and says how a evil mutant lives on top of her apartment and made the evil mutant work as a lunch lady and basically works a lot but always gets fired yk

The turtles basically says that they were made by the evil mutant that April mentioned but they’re dad is a rat but he was human and was a actor and knows how to beat mutant asses

Basically that’s what I have and it’s a first time I made this so bye🏃🏼‍♀️

#transformers #maccadam #transformers armada #rottmnt #trollhunters #Rottmnt x Trollhunters x transformers #crossover #it’s funny when u see non human ppl with humans #yeah uh yeah #Also I made this into a au now so fack off #tmnt crossover #rottmnt crossover #transformers crossover #Trollhunters crossover

So...about The Owl House Season 3: Episode 1---"Thanks To Them"....

..So...I woke up to watching this special this fine morning and...my God, there is so much to unpack and digest from it that I don't think I'll be able to get through in just one musing post.

So for now, this squiggle meister is simply just going to focus on the one major element of this special that got me the most out of all the great that was featured in it.

In case some of you don't know, Hunter is pretty much my favourite character in the entire series (second to Willow, of course).

So obviously, if I'm gonna discuss this special, I just HAVE to talk about all that went down with him.

[SPOILERS AHEAD! NUFF SAID!]

Firstly, to everyone who said that the Owl House leaks were fakes fabricated by Dana and the TOH team…well, ya'll must be feeling mighty silly right now because, it's one thing to be bamboozled once and another to be tricked twice.

Turns out, the leaks that were said to be fake…weren't fake at all. All the imagery that was shown in the leaks---from Hunter being possessed by Belos, to Luz rocking an Azura cosplay costume…it ALL happened in the episode so…there's that, I guess?

I mean it doesn't change how genuinely GOOD this episode was as whole but, still, there was that lil scare that happened in the fandom community.

That being said, yes, you did hear me right---Hunter got possessed by Belos in this episode!

Turns out all of us who theorized that would happened; myself included, were indeed right on the money. It happened folks and boy oh boy, was that a scene!

(Side Note: I love how Hunter's trademark lil front hair curl returned even after he got rid of it at the start of the episode. I find that detail a lil funny given all the comics and memes that were made after he got rid of it XD)

Secondly, rest in peace Flapjack! You were the true MVP of this episode in my eyes. I'm really going to miss this brave little bird, man.

Flapjack sacrificing himself to revive Hunter who died (albeit, temporarily because of Belos) was easily my favourite moment from this episode.

After everything that Hunter and Flapjack have been through together over the course of the second season and after all the times that we've seen Flapjack actively help and at times, even saved Hunter, it was so great that this little bird went out doing what he's always done---protecting his partner. Protecting Hunter.

Ah man, at least he went out knowing that Hunter loved him and he in turn, loved Hunter. I just…ah man, I'll need a minute with this moment because them feels.

Really hitting my heartstrings, man! It's gonna be a tear-jerker revisiting all those old tender moments between Hunter and Flapback from previous episodes, especially those from Hollow Mind.

That being said, Flapjack's death and sacrifice did get me thinking more about palismen in the general and what they actually are.

I strongly believe there was more to be learnt from the way palismans are born from viewing this special. Like it was already established through previous episodes that palismen are infact living creatures---they do possess souls which can infact be used to prolong the life of others as we saw with Belos/Phillip using palismen to keep himself alive for so long.

In respect to that, this does make me curious about one thing:

Is Hunter no longer a Grimwalker and can now be considered fully human now as of Flapjack's sacrifice?

In the episode intro, when we caught a glimpse of Caleb, we saw that his eyes were brown.

Hunter's eyes are red and as I just noticed, Flapjack's eyes are brown as well, like Caleb's. And after Flapjack revived Hunter, his eyes turned from red to brown.

So now this pegs the question, did Hunter's eyes change colour to reflect him becoming fully human as his brown eyes now match that of his predecessor or…did it turn brown to symbolize a part of Flapjack becoming a part of Hunter moving forward as a representation of their friendship and strong bond which has transcended two lifetimes?

And herein lies another curious theory that I have.

Imagine if…Flapjack WAS Caleb? Like imagine if…palismen work like the Chirithy from Kingdom Hearts?

In Kingdom Hearts lore, when the original keyblade wielders of the first Keyblade War "died", they were given options for their afterlife---either they reincarnate or their hearts goes to sleep and their partner Chirithy bonds with their wielder to protect their sleeping heart; becoming a Dreameater Spirit in the process.

So putting my KH nerd hat on for a hot minute, imagine if…palismen work like the Chirithy and when their witch partner dies, a piece of their soul becomes a part of their palismen?

Like when a witch dies, they impart a piece of their souls in their palismen so they can keep living on without them? Or something like that.

Or perhaps...palismen have souls so that in the event of their partners dying, they can sacrifice themselves to revive them as a failsafe? Y'know something like that?

I just like the concept of Caleb's soul taking refuge inside of Flapjack after he died due to their magical bond?

Like despite Belos/Phillip desecrating his body for so many years with the creation of Grimwalkers, I like the thought of Flapjack keeping the last piece of Caleb---his soul---safe within him for many years until he was finally able to "return" it to Caleb by reviving Hunter, making him whole again and giving him a second chance at life.

OR…

Perhaps... this was a sign of Flapjack finally fulfilling a last dying wish for a former friend?

Alright, really hear me out on this one:

What if…we've been wrong all along and Flapjack was never Caleb's palisman to begin with and was in fact, the former palisman of the witch who invited Caleb Wittebane to the Boiling Isles in the first place---Evelyn.

"...Goodbye Evelyn..."

I find it interesting that Belos said this line before killing Flapjack.

Makes me wonder if to Belos, Flapjack was synonymous with Evelyn because he was probably her palisman before?

Maybe Flapjack was Evelyn's partner before she was killed by Belos and because Flapjack knew how important Caleb was to Evelyn as his former partner and creator, that factor also contributed to why he choose Hunter in the end?

We still don't know the full details about what truly happened between the Wittebane Brothers and the witch Evelyn (who is obviously going to turn out to be a Clawthorne ancestor of Eda. There's no doubt about it).

For all, we know, Phillip may have killed her too along with Caleb and that's when and why he became trapped on the Boiling Isles?

Perhaps…Evelyn got hurt trying to protect Caleb and then Caleb got killed in the crossfires of Phillip attempting to finish the job?

And even after escaping, Evelyn ended up succumbing to her injuries and died, leaving Flapjack with the duty of watching over/protecting Caleb in her place?

As I said, what if…Evelyn was mortally wounded by Belos during their scuffle and although Flapjack was willing to give his life to save her, instead Eve made the little bird promise to save Caleb instead since Caleb was important to Eve.

But before Flapjack could get a chance to save Caleb, it was too late and Philip had already gotten to him---thus beginning his vicious cycle of Grimwalkers and his many, many attempts at trying to "save Caleb" since he failed so hard the first time.

There is still so much to learn!

And I know for the most part that all of what I'm theorizing right now on the spot probably sounds a little bit farfetched to become canon but nonetheless, for now they're just curious thoughts that I'm more than happy to share and still wanted to toss onto the table of possibility.

Either way, as I'll say once more, there is still so much more to be gaged from the backstory of Belos/Philip with his brother and that's why I loved this part of the special so much.

Hunter's part of the story with Belos isn't over and for that, I'm excited to learn what's next for the two of them.

I also really liked how this special reinforced that Belos/Phillip Wittebane is still meant to be the final big bad of The Owl House.

"...This is for the good of your souls. You'll thank me later..."

I wonder if he used that same line on his brother before killing him (by accident). But yeah, Big Boi Baddie Belos is still the penultimate villain of the series, it seems, which is super fantastic for me since admittedly, I genuinely love Belos as both a character and a villain.

He's just so fascinating to analyze and discuss and each new revelation regarding his backstory and his former motives, especially regarding his whole history and relationship with his brother just makes even more intriguing to me.

What's even weirder to me is that I've been seeing some comments that paint KC a.k.a The Kid Collector as the key central "villain" of The Owl House.

Listen…just because the little god child took over an entire island of innocent civilians just so he could play with them does NOT make him the final boss of the game, dagnabbit.

Nevermind that I also really, really love the Collector as a favourite character too. He is not the main big bad---at least not in the conventional sense and I'll explain why.

All things considered, I still wish to believe that KC is a very misunderstood being.

Just a cosmic star child with more knowledge and power than he can probably comprehend who was manipulated by a resentful old man hellbent on causing the genocide of an entire society of magical people all because he held one of them responsible for "taking his beloved brother away him".

Thus this makes me more worried for the fate of KC moving forward towards the second special because the writing on the wall is enough to kind of guess what's probably going to go down.

As established in this special, Belos is now able to possess other living things and basically steal their life force to keep him alive.

Even prior to possessing Hunter, we saw him possess and consume other leaving creatures in the human world such as forest animals like the deer and rabbit.

We saw Belos almost consume Hunter fully if it weren't for him fighting back.

That being said, if Belos can possess living beings then what's stopping him from possessing the Kid Collector next?

I feel like KC is in danger of becoming Belos' next target for possession---y'know as a little payback for taking him out in season two finale?

Belos almost destroyed the Boiling Isles by manipulating KC. Who's to say he won't try to do it again, only this time instead of manipulating the god child, he can simply take control of him and gain all of his godly abilities.

Now I know what you might be thinking that---that KC is way too powerful to be tricked or even overpowered by Belos that easily, right?

But I dunno…look at how easily Belos took over Hunter? Belos was able to possess Hunter by him simply touching a little tiny drop of his goop.

What's to say he won't do the same to KC? Make him believe he's destroyed him only to be blindsided and hit with the goop?

I tell ya---I really feel like Belos may try to possess KC next and once he has the power of a God, he can literally do whatever he wants with his powers.

I mean…technically, the Day of Unity isn't over.

The Collector didn't really stop it. He just nudged the planets apart with a tiny boop. But they're still pretty much there in the sky above the isles.

So if Belos possesses KC, he can just as easily use him to jumpstart the draining spell once more.

But... then again, I doubt Belos would want to do that without killing himself in the process since Luz did brand him with a sigil so if he jumpstarts the draining spell then… he'll die along with the Boiling Isle citizens too?

Unless…that's also what Belos wants?

Like he decides to pull the sacrificial hero card.

Killing the entire Boiling Isles even at the expense of his own life (and probably KC's too if he takes over his body), all in the name of the "greater good" and his cause or what not?

I mean this is all just theory for now and I could be wrong in all of this. However; I was right on the money about Belos taking control of Hunter so... who knows? I guess we'll see how things shape up in the second episode special.

---

In conclusion...

This first special gave me a lot to process but overall, I really enjoyed it!

There was so much really good and great from it especially in regards to the terrific development it gave for characters such as Luz, Hunter and even Camila (surprisingly enough). I focused so much on Hunter that I forgot to say how much I loved how great of a supportive mom Camila was to Luz in this episode.

I am SO looking forward to seeing her side of things for the second part.

While I'm not expecting her to "la chancla" the Kid Collector or anything like that, I am expecting her to be a total badass momma all the same.

"Thanks to Them" was a fantastic start to the series' finale season of The Owl House and naturally, as to be expected, I cannot wait for the next one.

In the meantime, I'll probably share some more squiggly thoughts and musings from this first special because I don't think I'll be done gushing about it for some time (at least until The Dragon Prince returns next month).

Not A Date, Remember?

After two weeks of testing that was frankly more difficult and stressful for Dr. Clef than for the tested, being me, I did promise my boss a totally not romantic social outing. Turns out, Clef off the clock and out of his "fear me, I'm the fucking devil" shtick is kinda fun. Just so happens, tonight is the costume contest. In hindsight, maybe '40's noir Poison Ivy was a bad costume idea.

It's been a rough patch, I'll admit. But... I'm holding up fine. My boss is not doing so well. He's his usual self in public, but he's been quieter in office when it's just us. He hasn't even played his edgy 'I'm deliberately playing this to irritate the general populace nearby' jams last two weeks. This ain't the Clef I'm used to.

Maybe if I agree to go with him to this silly costume contest, it'll liven him up. I wasn't planning on going, but I do still have a few old cosplay costumes, one perfect to go with his choice of RE4 Leon in a suit. Ah, here's the boss, fresh coffee in hand. Perfect.

"Hey, Bunny. How you doing?" Geez, even his voice went flat. No good.

"I'm here, so... guess I'm okay. You've been a bit out of it lately. You okay, Boss?"

"Yeah, just tired. Guess I need to start sleeping more or something."

He goes to check the weekly reports, and I try to think of how to ask him. After a while, I finally know what to say.

"Boss, the costume contest is tonight. You got plans or anything?"

"Was thinking of skipping it since ol' COG told me no DoomClef this year. You?"

"Kinda why I'm asking. Kind of last minute, but... I do have something that should suffice nicely with your mobster suit."

"Please tell me it's not the tall ass vampire lady. I have a height complex as it is."

"Hey, I grew six inches, and I'm still shorter than you. Nope. Was thinking noir Dr. Isley. Got the green dress, add some matching heels, wrap some vine garlands and fake flowers around me, I'm set."

"You sure you didn't plan ahead?"

"Nah, would have made a snowbunny costume just for you, Boss." I winked, teasing him. Clef turns pink.

"Don't mind me calling you Snowbunny, heh? Can only imagine the outfit. Blue velvet, embroidered silver snowflakes, white faux fur trim. Very cute. Might just have to have something made for you."

"It's not a date, remember? This is just two friends letting off steam."

"Grr. Okay. So, meet here at 6:30, then?"

"You mean 6:30 exactly, or 6:30 Clef Time?" Clef Time being 15-30 minutes later. But, when you're Site Command, only O5 can tell you off for being late.

"Contest is at 7:30, so... normal time. I'm looking forward to this, Snowbuny."

"Me too. Dr. Rights said you look hot in a suit, by the way. Made Dr. Bright a bit mad at her, but... it's Bright, he gets over this stuff quickly."

That settled, we run out the final two hours on the shift clock. While the time winds down, I text Iris for some last minute hair and makeup help. While I'm pretty good with clothes, I suck ass at makeup. Iris is pro level, she can make even Iceberg look good in drag, a near miracle as he's now rocking the villain goatee.

After shift, the transformation begins. I pick my dress, a vintage swing dress in green silk. I dig out my one pair of green heels, and hunt for foliage. By the time Iris is here and set up, I've got plenty of flowers and a long ass bushy ivy garland. Perfect, pin this to my seafoam shawl wrap, and then it's off to hair and makeup. Iris checks my kit. I notice she's decided to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, a classic.

"Noir Ivy? Wasn't that your Comicon outfit, day 2? First day you were Isaac Clarke, but bitched about the helmet."

"Yeah, but... my date never saw this, so... I'm going with it. The date was last minute, Sis."

"Who's the lucky guy? I know 049 isn't going."

"Dr. Clef." I mumble. Iris nearly drops the foundation brush. "He's having a rough patch, I just thought I should try being nice to him. He's gone though way way too much."

"Clef? Alto Fucking "Gonna Torture You Suckers With Super Slow Smashmouth on Ukulele" Clef? This is a prank, right?" Iris keeps working, but waits to see if I'm serious.

"No prank. He's not as bad as you've heard, Sis. He's kinda sweet sometimes. Bit weird, but we're all freaks here." Iris motions for me to stop talking while she works. Once she's done with the makeup, she starts working with my messy, wavy, blood red tresses. She settles on a simple loose braid, with a white rose tucked behind my right ear. Then, a crown of ivy is pinned to my head. I slip into the rest of my costume, and Iris admires the outcome.

"Gotta say... you might need a chaperone. I doubt even Dr. Gears wouldn't at least take a few long looks. Good thing you're also good with ice, as this look is straight fire."

"Thanks, Sis. You going with anyone?" We pack up Iris's things while we talk.

"Viktor and Sergei. Viktor is Toto, Sergei the Cowardly Lion. And... Alina, the new girl? Tin Woodswoman. We're swinging by Evie's for photos first, so I gotta go. I'll show you the snaps tomorrow. Later Sis!"

I head to my boss's office, half sure I'm either going to be pranked, or worse, stood up. But... to my surprise, there's the boss man, looking like the perfect Leon Kennedy gangster cosplay. Wow. He really cleans up well, he even shaved. Never mind the weird third eye, the Cheshire cat grin that unnerves even Abel, the slight dad bod, or the torture by ukulele... Alto Clef is fine af.

"Ah... Dr. Isley, I presume?" He removes his hat, bowing.

"Agent Kennedy? Charmed to meet you. I wasn't informed you were quite so handsome."

"Nor was I told how lovely you truly are. Will you allow me to escort you to the party? It's safer to travel in pairs, after all."

"I'd be delighted, Agent Kennedy." I offer him my hand, he raises it to his lips. Not going to lie... I might be attracted to my boss. He then places my hand on his elbow, off we go.

We arrive right on time. Dave at the door does a double take, but lets us in. The music is going, a few couples dancing. After we catch up with a bunch of coworkers, we're off in a corner and I get bold.

"Wanna indulge a fantasy of mine, Doc?" I whisper in his ear. He adjusts his collar, nervous. I go on. "I've always wanted to dance with the devil. Traditionally, there's moonlight, but I'm not big on some traditions. So... may I have a dance with the handsomest devil around?"

"Normally, I'd say no, but since you're so charming, I can't refuse." We step out onto the dance floor just as the music changes from some slow drivelling ballad to... "Jump Jive and Wail" by Brian Setzer Orchestra. Wasn't expecting that, but... okay. Little did I know... Dr. Clef can swing. By the time the night is over, we had danced almost all night, and won second place in the couple's costume division, losing out to Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Not even mad, Draven and Jim may as well have stepped out of Mortal Kombat 11, their costumes were that good.

Party over, and we're walking home. So far... I've remembered to behave, and not do what I want to do: just kiss him already. But... now we're just feet from my door. He likes me, otherwise he wouldn't be here. It's clear I like him too. And things with 049 have fallen apart, both due to us nearly overworking ourselves to death. We parted on good terms, but I shouldn't rush into anything yet. Besides, Clef is my boss. If this goes wrong, there goes my career. Still want to kiss him, though. We're at my door now.

"Rabbit, thanks. This was way more fun than what I had planned." He leans in, presses the softest of kisses to the corner of my lips. Just as he's about to pull away, I reach out, and run my fingers through his hair. My eye gaze into his, and next thing I know, I'm kissing him. His hands find my waist, holding me close. Oh wow... never thought I'd even think this... but if he keeps kissing me like this, I'm inviting him in. Before I can though... the kiss is over. He wants to ask me, I can see it in his heterochromic eyes. He speaks before I can, though.

"Not on the first not-date, Snowbunny. Believe me, it's taking a lot to not give in. But I don't want to rush you."

"So... you doing anything on Friday? How about a real date? Dinner, a movie, maybe bring your hanky to meet my panky?"

"Not sure about the last part, but... dinner? Yes." He sighs, then takes my cheek in his hand. "343 knows I'm not worthy, but yes."

We stand there for a few more precious moments, forehead to forehead. Just in time for my jerk of a neighbor Dr. Iceberg to walk by.

"Gotta say, you two make a cute couple. Poison Ivy and her henchman."

"Fuck off, Julian!" We both shout in unison at his retreating back. The door slams behind him.

KnY "A Job in Kyoto" Collab - The Third

This is the third time Ufotable has teamed up with the Toei Movie Studio Park and Randen Railway for a Kimetsu no Yaiba collab event. Like it many events, we get some art produced for the Kamaboko Group and who ever is being their chaperone that time around. As in many recent events around Japan, Uzui-san is playing babysitter for this "Job in Kyoto" event! Sadly I was not yet a KnY fan when the first collab took place, though I was actively getting curious about KnY and recall seeing the fliers on the bus. I do have posts about the somewhat more extensive second collab, which was when Rengoku-san was playing chaperone and the Railway Museum was involved. Anyway, lots of photos put together into long compilations to get around the 10 image limit. The movie studio park had lots and lots and lots of displays, especially since they already have a functional Yoshiwara set.

But first, we still have some trains, including special cars running on the Randen Line.

I got lucky riding the car with Tanjiro & Nezuko on the outside and the Wisteria Crest inside, as well as a few random sprigs of fake wisteria and butterflies. The Randen Line already uses a royal purple theme what with Kyoto long since having been the home of royalty, so it takes to a Wisteria theme pretty well. Much more exciting, of course, was the brown retro-looking Rengoku tram, with a "Mugen" label on the outside, and all the usual train advertisements replaced with Mugen Ressha screenshots. Also, Rengoku stands on that train with you for your whole ride to keep you safe.

So there there were some small events at the Arashiyama Randen station (like last time) as well as some small stuff at one of the other Randen stops, Katabiranotsuji, which is nearby the Toei Movie Studio Park in a neighborhood that retains a lot of the old movie making culture. That's why Uzui is posed by a very Showa-looking set, and you know what? By the Showa era, maybe he and his wives lived in a place like that. Anyway, besides the themed cafe drinks (I got the "I can't move around in these clothes" Inoko one) and a small display on the roof among the Arashiyama scenery, the usual lukewarm platform ashiyu (foot bath) was decked out as a medical thing with wisteria, butterflies, and a couple of our favorite girls and their favorite thing to blow to smithereens.

Ah, and that is some Uzui Genmaicha up there as a souvenir. I got Urokodaki tea last time they did a Kyoto collab. I wound up getting more tea today, a Gyokuro packet with Tanjiro on it. That's a nice touch, since that's the tea he demands of Kotetsu when he's finally allowed to drink something again in his training against Yoriichi Type Zero. That's something I love about these events; so many of the people going to them aren't casual fans, I love seeing other people at these events appreciate all those subtle details. I love seeing what they're wearing, too!! Since cosplay isn't allowed, there's a bunch of people who do their own spins on Closet Play. My favorite was a girl in fishnets and other gothy details who had decked herself out in Zenko & Uzui accessories. I wound up doing to Arashiyama after work one day and therefore didn't do anything special, but for the movie studio park, I went with a slight Shinazugawa Brother theme, with my nice and jagged tamahagane earrings, ufufu.

You'll see more of me later, for I am more than a nerd, I am a dork.

So anyway, on to the Toei Movie Studio park! They do actually shoot period dramas here, so a big section of the park was closed for that, but there's always lots to see. For lunch I originally wanted to eat the "Don't Throw That!!" udon which was meant for Makio, but my friend wanted to try the soba which Rengoku so lovingly ate while getting details about his upcoming train mission, so I picked the riceball set loving made by Sumiko (certainly love is the only secret ingredient). It was good, the slightly grilled edges were a nice touch. This happened to be the same spot where I ate at the last collab; I had simmered salmon and daikon that time.

This is a good time to mention one of the little games set up to go around the park looking for hints and keywords to get a prize. You chose one of four courses and get a paper with a crow giving you your first instruction, like finding a fan or an obi, and then you follow the stickers of Tanjiro finding Pillars and asking them about these objects. My friend found Himejima with no idea what he was doing holding an oiran's obi which someone handed him, so "oiran" was her keyword, and my last stop was back at this restaurant, where Giyuu had already taken care of the fan and had stopped in for a bite to eat, only to find there was no longer any simmered salmon and daikon on the menu. That was my keyword.

So anyway! The main events where in two sections. The indoor series of displays recreated many iconic scenes, and you could interact with a bunch of them, including crawling through a tunnel like Inosuke (well, not quite like Inosuke) to enter a cave full of Daki's obi. I especially loved all the detail they put into recreating Shinobu's office (look! She has disinfectant at the entrance, hahaha! This shouldn't be funny...) as well as the train bentou sold by the bentou vendors. In the walk-through of Season 1 settings, there was a voiceover by Tanjiro reflecting on what he and Nezuko have been through and the people they've met.

The usual Yoshiwara movie set has a voice recording of Uzui-san recapping what the pleasure quarters were, and wondering what sorts of reports the boysgirls will bring back for him. They named three of the brothels the Ogimoto-ya, Kyogoku-ya, and Tokito-ya (and on that note, some other regular fixtures around the park were decked out like Tanjiro's haori, because why not). Some of the interactive bits were carrying things like Sumiko and posing with a shamisen, but here's a Taisho Secret--that shamisen has been broken, many, many times throughout the course of this collab event. We had good luck being there on a day where it was more or less still in shape.

Oh, and they randomly give you a rank sticker. My friend was a Hinoto (7th out of 10), and I was right below her as a Tsumonoe (6th).

So anyway. Since you could interact with so many of the displays, I shall now subject you to my reenactments of the anime thus far.
