Pet Names

pets names are cute and fun! You know what else is cute and fun? The owl house! Here you are, my friends!

Warnings: swearing

~°~°~°~°~

Luz:

She'll call you the cheesiest shit you can think of with no remorse. Pumpkin, honey bunch, boo, hermoso/a, bonito/a, carino, and sweetieVpie are her personal favorites. In return, you're even more sappy with names like light of my life, sugar, beloved, love bug. If you speak another language, you call her every compliment you can think of in it.

Amity:

She gets sort of self conscious with pet names, but her favorites are love and darling. She also calls you chip sometimes, in memory of the time Luz was trying to teach you to make chocolate chip cookies and you ended up putting the bag (plastic and all) in the oven. You call her the same names, but with the addition of smartypants, because you want to teasingly remind her how smart and talented you think she is.

Willow:

She loves plants, and she loves you more, so it tracks that her favorite pet name for you is flower. You call her sunshine, because she's been a ray of light in your life.

Hunter:

The concept of a term of endearment is pretty foreign to him. He had read about it, sure, but he'd never actually seen it. He just shortens your name most of the time, and occasionally calls you love. He would do more, but he isn't really sure how. You on the other hand, have a million pet names for him. Your favorites are bug, sunflower, lover boy, casanova, nerd and loser (both affectionately).

Eda:

Oh my god. What don't you two call each other? It goes from insanely sappy to ruthless mocking in a split second. Loser, dickhead, and popsicle sucker to angel, doll, and superstar. You also called her sugar tits once as a joke and it sort of stuck around. She seems like a casual babe enjoyer as well.

Raine:

The both of you feel like your names are generally sufficient, so you use those, or a shortening. You did overhear Eda calling them Rainstorm, though, and you thought it was creative so you use that from time to time. Melody and moonlight are used too.

(PLATONIC/PARENTAL)

King:

You just insult each other.

Gus:

He doesn't tend to do the whole "pet name" thing. You like to call him the illusionist because it sounds cool and he says it makes him feel powerful. Also, tater tot, because it makes him mad and it's funny.

The Collector:

He calls you doll (fitting), and the both of you like to playfully insult each other. They never go too far though, he's grown a lot from his time back with the stars and he's happy to finally have a friend.

Lilith:

She doesn't seem like a pet name kind of person to me. Maybe she'd call you a nerd every once in a while, and you'd called her a smartass.

Camilla:

She likes Spanish pet names and squeezing your face in front of your friends while calling you her "beautiful/handsome son/daughter/child." She thinks it's funny to embarrass you and she wants to let you know how much she loves you. You just call her mom (I've made Camilla, Darius, and Alador parental figures and you can't stop me)

Darius:

You use each other's names earlier on. You started off calling him sir back when you part of the emperors coven, but he told you to stop with one of those "it makes me feel old," speeches boomers do, you know the ones. When the emperor's coven falls apart and you have no where else to turn, he brings you in. You'd start to slip up and call him dad, and he'd start to call you his kid. Eventually you accepted it, and now he loves to call you his child, and you love having someone to call dad.

Alador:

You also call him sir or his name. You were his apprentice at Blight Industries before he quit, and now he teaches abominations at Hexside after the old professor was fired for misconduct. You're his teacher's aid and live with him and his kids. You call him dad sometimes on accident.

#toh x reader #specter speaks #toh #obsessed with the idea of hunters s/o calling him bug #that's fucking adorable

So I watched The Owl House finale and it was okay. Not incredible or anything but it is still enjoyable somewhat. But it irked me a bit that it pretty much ended with an Happily Ever After Ending™. And I don't mean like flawed happy or bittersweet. I mean PERFECT HAPPILY EVER AFTER ENDING. Everyone (not counting "bad people") pretty much got everything they wanted, like an idealistic fantastical utopia.

Personal bias; I hate utopias, both fictional and "real". I can't stand them.

With that in mind, I had a thought. Considering the controversial ending of SvtFoE and the partially divided ending of Amphibia, let's put it in a poll.

This isn't hate on TOH btw. I'm okayish with the show and I don't really care about the drama in the fandom or the backrooms. I genuinely want to know.

#toh #the owl house #the boiling isles #toh spoilers #toh finale #watching and dreaming #toh watching and dreaming #toh s3 finale #star vs the forces of evil #amphibia #ending #toh critical #toh criticism

I’ve heard a lot of people citing Hunter from the Owl House as Autistic, and while I have no intention of ruining anyone’s enjoyment of this character and this particular head-canon, I always thought this take was odd. Having interacted with many Autistic individuals during my life, my brother and Uncle included, as well as a few of my close friends, I never really saw it in Hunter. Sure, he’s a bit socially awkward and doesn’t always understand the other kids his age, but that’s about as far as the symptoms go before the argument sort of stops making sense. Maybe Hunter is Autistic, but I think it’s criminal that everyone talks about him being Autistic without mentioning another character in the Owl House that exhibits far more symptoms of the disorder than he ever has in the show. Any guesses? I’ll give you a hint—her name is Luz.

You heard me right. Luz Noceda is autistic—or at least I think she is. I know Luz has already been confirmed to have ADHD, and those symptoms are definitely present, but just because she’s already neuro-divergent in one way doesn’t mean she can’t be in another. Luz has always been known to be quirky. She hyper fixates on her witch obsession without ever losing interest, is constantly missing important social cues from others, misreading the mood in a room or other people’s intentions, and most importantly has never once seemed bothered by anyone else’s unusual behavior. Luz sees people for people and nothing else. She doesn’t attribute labels to others and never seems to be bothered when others call her weird—in fact, Luz seems to take it as a compliment. The autistic individuals that I know are extremely interested in other people and have no problem thinking highly of others for characteristics that many neurotypical individuals would never notice about another person. They get completely absorbed in their hobbies and interests, eager to share them with anyone and everyone they bump into without seeming bothered that others don’t share their passion. Luz loves the Azura books, and when others insult them to her face it never seems to bother her. However, when someone does finally share her passion, that person being Amity, Luz is over the moon about it. And speaking of Amity, Luz doesn’t ever really seem to pick up on Amity’s feelings towards her until they’re stated directly to her in the Hooty episode. (We all know the one.) Despite Amity constantly showing clear interest in Luz, Luz doesn’t seem to realize this prior to the episode where the two of them become a couple, and completely misreads Amity’s mood when the two of them are on the ride Hooty made for them in the basement, not realizing how happy she is at all and jumping to rip everything down.

Any one of these things on its own isn’t really enough to say Luz is autistic but put together they create a character who seriously reminds me of many of the autistic friends I’ve had. Maybe I’m wrong, but I have a good feeling about this. And compared to Hunter, who while being somewhat socially behind others of his own age is extremely adept at communicating with individuals who are older than him, Luz interacts with pretty much everyone the same, needing to check in constantly with others to know where they’re at. She’s very understanding, but so are most autistic people I’ve met. Just because she’s something of a social butterfly and gets along with others easily doesn’t mean she’s always completely on the same page, and she usually needs to be caught up on what others around her are feeling to get there. Anyways, that’s just my take on her. I’ll stick to it for now, but feel free to share your thoughts with me and let me know if I’ve missed anything important about her character.

#I could be wrong #but I had this idea #and I needed to get it out there #so I wrote this #and it's long #ish #and I always thought Luz was interesting so #yeah #toh #toh luz #the owl house #luz noceda #neurodiverse stuff #autism representation

tw // blood mention, death mention, long ask, yan mention, unreality, trauma mention

Okay, THIS is what my gender feels like from the following:

a blossoming single white rose that is splattered with blood as it is on the floor with a bloodied ax inside of a Victorian room, the thousands of galaxies in the night sky and also exoplanets, the dying nebula of a glowing star that is about to die, a black hole with the feeling of excitement but terror, a heavenly place that has a dark and terrifying dystopian-like secret, the dread of existence of wanting to live and wanting the euphoria of death, a trans-like feeling of wearing the Grim Reaper's cloak and scythe, the love-obsession of male fictional antagonists/villains because of neurodivergence, the lovesickness of unrequited I have constantly when I hyperfixate on a underrated character from a TV show, six-dimensional Eldritch-like beings, the feeling of poison or a vile-like liquid pumping through veins instead of body, having a feeling of wonder and curiosity as you pick up a withered red rose and twirl it slightly as you think to yourself "what is love?", the hyperactivity of a mad scientist when they discover the final solution to their problem, gothic-era Victorian mansions that having a sense or aesthetic of being creepy or have a haunting but not sure, an yandere-like obsession with being in love with fictional male characters, the feeling of terror, shock, and fear you get when you stumble upon several unidentified corpses in the woods that are badly decomposed with leaves scattered around them, the chills that run down your spine when you hear the wind sound like the howls of a ghost outside, walking near the river on a cold day before you stop and pick up a shimmering stone that is either colorful or dark, the happiness and nostalgia as you run around a loud and active arcade, the aesthetic feeling when you walk around an abandoned large cinema that feels liminal and lost, modern homes from the 70s/80s/90s, ghosts, vampires, aliens, eldritch beings, cryptids, frankenstein monsters, werewolves, and scary-like mythical creatures, the paranoia feeling that someone is in your house as you watch scary Internet videos, the comforting idea of being friends with monsters, and also desirement of liking Hell better than Heaven, discovering liminal-like houses that were either found in forests or mountains, a burden of trauma that affects you and your gender, dogs, canines, wolves, barn owls, crows, ravens, the euphoric feeling of wonder as you walk and/or run down the sidewalks of European villages and small towns, the comfort and distress of the dark sky when it's night, being a goth/grunge/emo/punk cool stoner queer boyfriend/girlfriend, handmade soaps with vintage labels, neon lights that either flash or become gradients of pretty colors, reading and writing fanfiction, hyperfixating on favorite cartoons, loving colors that are a darker hue or shade, wearing dark-colored hoodies and clothing, being in awe as you look into the night sky and see a shooting star and planets that are up-close, a skeleton smoking a cigarette as it reads a love letter from its queer partner, vampires that are queer, skeletons that are queer, ghosts that are queer, werewolves that are queer, frankenstein monsters that are queer, frankenstein monsters that are queer, cryptids that are queer, aliens that are queer, sweet desserts from other countries, collecting vintage stuff or things I enjoy, being so autistic that it fucks (in a good way), mushrooms, reading batman comics and watching batman-related movies and cartoons, enjoying WLW/MLM ships, having the enjoyment of being with your partner in a warm kitchen cooking while during winter times, the euphoric feeling of jumping on autumn leaves with the crunchy sounds they make and the colors they produce, rustic cabins in the woods during autumn and winter, candy during Halloween and Christmas, being butch with feminine-like long hair, and the joy of having a small puppy in your lap.

tl;dr: this is what my gender is bc I'm too fucking autistic to say it in short-ass sentences.

i think this is the best story i've ever read im literally in love with your gender /srs

Hey Lily recently had a round-trip podcast about the Owl house season 2 episodes. It'll take me too much time to tell about all the nonsense that was there, but if you want to get more whining about hunter and how he steals screen time from other characters you can check. The video is so bad that it actually good

well, i do need to have something to listen to while i do my chores so let's go:

separate tides:

good: i really did enjoyed the input of ginger, which was a surprise to me but because i never saw her analyzing a show before. i wonder if those are all her own thoughts that she developed on her own or it was part of a set script that LO had? either way, her parts are the most enjoyable if not for anything else because she's very fair and appreciates the visual aspect of this visual media. it would make sense for her as an artist to actually appreciate the collor pallete, something that usually feels lacking when LO's analyzing something on her own. bad: MO barely had a word in between ginger and LO talking. the comment about how “luz’s being punished for existing and puts herself in danger when she doesn’t need to” feel more flavor of LO refusing to engage with conflict at all. she specifically talking about “edgy fanfic writers who never grow up from edgy fanfic writers” is so painfully unaware considering that she keeps making contrive and unnecesary scenarios on her own fanwork just for the “melodrama”. LO gets very weirdly personal and gross about Dana, it reminds to how she ended up screaming how much of a creep rebecca sugar is on her one and only relevant video. apparently the only time that LO enjoyed hunter was on this first episode because he was just fun and then, when they actually explored him as a character, “suck all the personality out of him”. he was a fun character on that episode and they bring out a character from kingdom heart that was a more fun villain for comparison. ginger thinks this is something that happens on fanfiction a lot, where you don’t know “how to have a traumatized character that is also fun. Hunter is a wasteland of trauma.” the worse: ginger and LO going on a tangent about how people shouldn’t share their trauma through fiction is deeply upsetting. they all three laugh way too hard about how lilith had sex with hottie.

escaping expulsión:

good: LO admits finally that LO’s a protagonist of color that doesn’t get overshadowed by other character. you’d never know reading her posts. bad: LO thinks Luz lost her charm when she stopped being happy go lucky. worse: a tangent about how both LO and ginger do not understand the role of executive on shows. they both make it seem like dealing with executive is as easy as tell them no but that’s not how it goes for a lot of creators.

Echoes of the past: good: short. bad: they all bash fans for having fun fan theories about the connection between owl house and gravity falls. hunter and luz are at their best when they’re “fun”, but fans can’t have fun on their own. worse: ginger keeps doing something to her mic that sounds like she’s rubbing her hands all over it. keeping up a-fear-ances: good: also short. MO actually manages to get more than a full sentences in

bad: MO calls Steven universe ubermench worse:? through the looking glass ruins: good: they talk positively about Gus.

bad: anytime they say “this was overshawowed by this” they mean that the fandom gave more attention to one thing over the other. on this case, gus “of course” was overshadowed by the lumity b plot and the writers should have predicted this somehow. worse: Lo saying that the writers are out of touch because we only know that Luz is latina through an interview wich is just wrong, her name is a spanish name and her mom speaks to her in spanish on the very first episode. if you didn’t catch that she was latina from that moment forwards that’s not the fault of the show. LO might have a tendency of using Spanish names on characters just to make them more “interesting” but not everyone is like that. we didn’t know from where her family comes from and they could have done more to explore that on the show (like how they did on amphibia), but we knew that she was hispanic since the very start of the show. I also don’t understand how exploring gus’s issues and trauma is good, but doing that for hunter and luz is bad. It’s such an arbitrary standard.

Hunting palismen:

good: LO actually liked Hunter up until his mask was off and he had a tooth gap because apparently people were going to like him the wrong way or something. bad: LO complains about hunter being shipped with characters he interact with on the show. worse: hunter is boring. Ginger goes on a gross tangent about how 14-15 (the actual demographic for this show) are going to like hunter and they should have better taste than that. maybe we shouldn’t be shaming 14-15 little girls for having crushes on fictional boys. LO claims that she writes Alaina better than how Dana writes hunter because she has more ideas for cool stuff for Alaina to do. LO admits to only writing fanfic, not reading it and she uses as some kind of flex. eda’s requiem: good: they like Raine and gush over them. they enjoyed Darius too. bad: LO ships Darius and Eberwolf, calling it “finally some good monsterfuckery.” i don’t think Eberwolf’s age is brought up or confirmed anywhere. on the wiki for him he’s describe as having a “child size”… he’s a feral loli and LO just ship him with Darius. worse: MO makes a very loud snort that i did not love to have on my earphones. she comments on how she was the one editing the other podcast so i think she edited this one too? that’s three hours and a half of final result so i can only assume that at leas it was four hours originally that MO had to go through to piece what was important and what wasn’t, if not more. LO, pay MO. please. 200 for editing four hours of content is cruel.

Knock knock knocking on hoory’s door

good: generally positive review. LO and ginger gush about the plot and Eda’s harpy form. bad: LO trashes the fans for having fun theorizing again and “people always makes their gay character hot and steamy”, which is… something coming from her. worse: MO makes a joke about how she’d have found funny the break scene. LO: “what are you like this, mIkay?” MO: “i don’t know, please fix me.” LO:”that’s not my job to fix you, that’s why i paid the therapist for.” MO: “fair enough”. LO: “this’s the woman i married to, everybody.” MO: “no take backsies”. eclipse lake: good: generally poisitive reviw. I do like their reasoning for the worst vilains ever being “just some guy” since it makes the monster more human and also makes the audience think about the possibility of them becoming monster. It’s a good insight that LO’ll never apply in real life but it’s a good point her. bad: MO references the pose of Amity that she stole without credit for a piece of art as the only time she liked hunter on the episode. MO has the most positive things to say about hunter overall.

worse: LO and Ginger both thinks the color pallete of Hunter is awful. yesterday’s lie: good: LO loves this episode. they compare the camp that Camilla was going to send luz to one about teaching neurodivergent kids coping mechanism, which is an interesting point i haven’t seen a lot of people make. she and ginger agree that Luz’s decision to be with eda was selfish and she’d have probably have a good time on the camp with other kids like her, as Vee in fact did. i still can’t comprehend how they got that from what little we could see about the camp but they missed luz being latina. bad: trashing hunter even thought he is not even on this episode. worse: trashing people who ship hunter with anyone. LO, someone who claims to have had covid twice already, “i think i had covid recently because i had a lot of gas and i heard that happens to people who have covid”. i think she just self reported. follies at the cover’s day parade:

good: MO likes Snapdragon, at least a more fun villain “in comparison to hunter”.

bad: more trashing hunter. a thing that’s quickly standing up for me here is that MO doesn’t really have a lot of opinions about hunter or doesn’t express them as strongly as ginger or LO. she doesn’t even agree when they talk about him with as much enthusiasm as LO does when ginger goes on another tangent about how boring he is. worse: something about the seth that made FG that i didn’t catch and i don’t want to hear again to descipher.

Elsewhere and elsewhen

good: short. bad: they all three missed the point that Belos already knew Lilith and knew that she needed her so that’s the reason why only Lilith was allowed to keep her palisman.

Worse: “at the end of the series luz is going to call eda the spanish word for step mom”. Madrastra. idk, something about that comment from LO rubs me the wrong way.

Any sport in a storm good: they liked willow and her team. bad: more hunter trashing and bashing of fans who ship hunter with characters he interacts with, unlike what happens with every other character on any other property ever. “hunter fans are the worst, literally the fucking worst”. Huntlow is a bad ship but willow and Skara would have been better because… LO: “hunter stand are violently antisemitic because of this one anonnymous message i got, on top of being violently racist, violently homophobic”. MO: “reylos never went everywhere, they evolved, they’re spreading”. more folder for my theory that LO’s dislike of hunter is projection from her previous hate of Kylo ren. worse: they blame hunter for not breaking years long of grooming and brainwashing fast enough until Steve said something, which was to set Steve up too. they also missed that hunter thinks everything he’s making the team is normal because that’s how he was raised to think normal was like and could only break that delusion when someone who also went trhough it all said that no, it’ not normal and it’s very bad. “this episode would have been better without hunter on it”.”how in five seconds Steve is a better character than you, stupid piece of wood”. reaching out good: they like alador and how the writers handled her relationship with Amity. bad: LO: “On su it was never going to work because it was made by someone who thinks blood is thicker than water”. SU was raised by three gems who aren’t related to him and they’re the main focus of the show but sure. the first time ever that LO catches herself bringing SU too much but only to say that sugar “doesn’t know what she thinks she knows.” worse: LO’s grossly personal about Dana and slips another comment about Sugar being racist. LO: “dramatic shows are not very popular.” them’s the breaks, kid good: generally positive review. bad: trashing on Dana for supposedly having hunter as her favourite character. hunter is not even on this episode. worse: they all keep shipping Darius and Eberwolf, the feral loli. LO doesn’t think that there’s any need for especulation on the show so there shouldn’t be any theorist on the fandom.

Hollow mind: good: MO talking about Belos until both ginger and LO drag hunter into it. bad: LO: “the worst episode of the fucking show.” worse: LO’s angry that hunter still hasn’t perfectly broken through years of grooming soon enough. all three of them miss the point that this is a show for kids so some thing need to be spelled out, like the theory that belos was phillip.

Edge of the world: good: generally positive review. short. LO gushes over a VA and they liked the writing on this episode. bad: they don’t like or care about the Collector, which they use to trash people who were theorizing about him. worse: labrynth runner good: short. they gushed over gus and the evil covenant head leader. bad: “hunter go, away” being literally the first words about this episode that they pronounce. “it’s not helped by the fact that Dana just had to put hunter here for no reason. you could remove hunter from the episode”. ginger: “Dana, you’re an idiot, don’t put hunter into episode where he doesn’t belong. but also if you’re on the hunter fans who’s saying what a good episode: smacking you, biting you and killing you.” we talked a lot about LO’s dislike of hunter but ginger’s the one who keep surprising with how agressive she’s about her dislike of hunter. a lot of her opinions too are almost verbatin the ones LO had on her blog. do they just happened to agree with each other a lot or someone’s copying someone else? considering LO’s history of plagiarizing and copying others without credit, it’s likely she heard ginger express such feelings and then repeated them but i don’t actually know. she sounds legitimately mad and i understand as little the why from her as i don’t understand it when it comes from LO alone. LO: “there’s no way that Gus wouldn’t know to differentiate a illusion of willow”. the point of that scene was to showcase that gus is still basically just a kid and because of that he’s very naive. that’s actually the perfect contrast to hunter who was raised expecting a stab on the back from everyone. the point of hunter being there was tos ay there needs to be an actual balance between the two postures to have a healthy life. this episode could not have worked as it did without hunter… which later sets up hunter being there for the final battle so that luz can try to be a hero on her own, a very common thing between hero characters. Lo: “you know, i don’t say this about a lot of characters but hunter is a mary sue.” i thought mary sue was a purely misogynistic insullt?

Lo: “i feel like Dana would be one of the producers and writers there is if she examined these problems that she definitely has” LO: “we only find out that Luz is afrolatina on a podcast and i hate when people do that”. ignores that she constantly gives details about her own characters through tumblr posts that almost never made it to the final product anyway. ginger: “hunter is unnecesary for the plot”. Without hunter we wouldn’t know about unity day plan. we as the audience hear about it from the collector on a flashback involving hunter. later hunter is the one to inform everyone at school and people believe him because he was the golden guard. they wouldn’t have believed luz the same way because she’s just another student like them and she didn’t had any evidence. LO: “Dana, i know you don’t have perspective because you’re one of them but hunter fans are a loud minority” LO: “they infantilize gus so fucking quickly”. did LO forgot that gus is 12? she seems constantly surprised that gus doesn’t know everything already. LO: “what the hunter stans ultimately is just a straight ship between two white people”. o titan where art though good: they gushed over Steve and King. they liked the plot with luz and eda. bad: MO: “bleached kylo ren”. confirmation that i was right. hunter is not even on this episode. worse: coulds on the horizon good: they gush first over how evil Odalia is. they liked luz and willow’s new outfits. bad: ginger: “willow is evolving to her pilot form” LO: “just don’t get the pixie cut.” worse: king’s tide good: they don’t trash hunter immediately and instead talk about how luz defeat belos. MO has been the one making the best commentary about Belos overall and now they do like the collector because of how powerful he is. bad: except LO who thinks he is badly written. LO doesn’t understand that Luz trying to sacrifice herself is her again trying to be a hero because that’s what hero characters are. they’re selfless by nature. a very common character arch for heroes is to find the point in which they can be selfless but not lose themselves. Luz still hasn’t come to that point. It’s called a character arch for a reason. worse: LO compares Luz putting herself on danger with how she wrote Alaina having suicide tendencies… something we all know for a fact was a poor rewrite that never was fully integrated on the story even to this day. she's using again her star wars fanfiction as proof that she's a better writer than the professional cartoon creator.

conclusion: good: short. ginger has a lot of positive comments. bad: LO: "i think this season would have been a lot better if they had kept lilith as the head of the coven". worse: LO: "i know we're all being very charitable to Dana but we need to adress that the fandom has a white favoritism problem and so does Dana, she's making actively worse and so i feel someone needs to tell her to stop." i don't disagree that there's racism in fandom (there's racism everywhere) but LO's not helping by dragging the white boy every chance she has for breathing. or by pretending to be cherokee without being claimed by the nation. or ignoring black people who talk to her about she makes them uncomfortable. or ignoring the native people who speak about she makes a mockery of their culture. or finding out about stereotypes or tropes regarding fictional black women only after she had already used the race of her OC as a shield. actions speak louder than words, LO. you can gush about gus all day long but you still need to treat other people better. LO: "if i had a show the first thing i'd do would be to hire sensitivity writers." just like you did hire a sensitive reader to write alaina. LO: "people ask me what i'd do if allie was included on the star wars universe and i always tell the first thing i'd do is hire six sensitivity readers because i don't trust myself and then other six to just do it better." i don't believe a single word of this. nobody asked that.

The Owl House Finale: my thoughts

! spoilers, obviously !

I thought it was alright.

Which is pretty sad considering how freaking good the show was.

Now it's difficult to make a list of things I liked and things I didn't like and you will see why.

But for tradition's sake:

things I liked

the overall idea of it with Belos taking over the titan's corpse and all that, pretty dang awesome

not making the Collector an actual villain and instead showing how they're really just a child lashing out because he doesn't know how to deal with these complex emotions

the amount of lore we got on the Collector and titan magic

the ending/post-credit scene, seeing everyone happy and healing without it being a super cliché "and suddenly everything's okay" thing was cool, the character designs were on fucking point and I especially liked the scene with Hunter and Willow at Flapjack's gravestone

Raine being an absolute BAMF, I love them and they fucking rule

Hunter and Darius reuniting, short but sweet

on that note: Darius and Alador in the credits?? hello, sassy middle-aged dads having a thing™??? love to see it

Raine and Eda reuniting, just these two, man

King's genderqueer/genderfucked/whatever parent? marvellous

Luz and Amity getting their happy ending without some random, annoying pseudo break-up plot point or something thrown in there

now, things I didn't like

The pacing was fucking atrocious and really dims all the other aspects I liked, just scene after scene after scene.

In a big character-driven finale like this it's vital to give the emotional impact time to develop, to let it breathe, let the audience sit with a hard-hitting scene like when Luz 'dies' going up against Belos.

And this obviously isn't Dana's or any of the team's fault, it's clearly because of the mouse and the way it disrespects and seems to straight up despise its own creators.

Especially for a show like this where we get the most amount of openly shown queer affection in the final minutes of the final episode of a show that was cut short for "not fitting the brand". Of course Owl House is revolutionary in its portrayal of queerness in a Disney show but the shadow of the mouse looms large and can be felt even here which is just, it's tragic, man, seriously.

The pacing is also what causes my other big problem with the finale: the hollow victory.

Well of course Luz has defeated Belos at the end, has liberated the BI, healing can take place, rebuilding can start.

But it feels hollow. Of course Luz epically destroys Coloniser McGoo and seeing Raine, Eda and King stomp on him was funny. But I feel there was a distinct lack of catharsis here.

Now this might be because from the beginning of this show I've been firmly in camp villain-enjoyer and was really excited about how they were gonna develop Belos as a villain but I didn't like the lack of "depth" regarding him we got in the finale.

Now I'm not talking about the Philip Wittebane sob story or the power of love, friendship and redemption or anything, puritan fascist man can rot in fucking hell forever, but it feels like Luz didn't actually defeat him.

Belos went from representing a larger system of beliefs about the world (human supremacy, colonisation, religious dogma, the absolutely batshit ideas underlying the concept of killing and then resurrecting your own brother "for his own good", etc.) to just like big kaiju slime wreaking havoc and spitting magic fire.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good epic fight against just a huge gross monster that wants to destroy the world (which yes, Belos ultimately is) but not when that happens at the cost of your villain's complexity.

Because now Luz has destroyed this huge evil slime thing, but that could've been any other villain or monster, it lacks that narrative oomph of defeating Belos as a character who represents bigotry, intense selfishness, abuse and ultimately a worldview in which some people are destined for annihilation due to their perceived inferiority.

This is because, at least in my opinion, Belos' strength as a villainous character isn't his magic or anything like that, it is his prowess in manipulation and the way he can make other characters believe that his depraved views are correct. I much rather would've liked that Luz and him had had a verbal standoff before actually fighting, him preying on her fears of being just like him and having those resolved together with his defeat instead of being seemingly resolved in that Collector dream sequence at the beginning.

Because it now seems like Luz' emotional arc is divorced from her fight against the main villain of this whole show which to me feels very unsatisfactory. A villain or obstacle is what drives the narrative, it's what provokes the protagonist(s) into action and especially Luz and Belos had this well-written dynamic with both being humans but extremely different from each other, yet Luz feeling terrible because she helped Philip discover the light glyph. That was cool, that was interesting and removing that element feels kind of boring to me.

It makes it feel like Belos and the system he represents were never really defeated, like Philip Wittebane is dead as he should be but the concept of "Belos" lives on, which could've been interesting if properly developed, but then again there wasn't enough time to do that.

Ultimately I feel it's on a surface level a pretty decent finale for a series like this, it hit all the right beats and tied this amazing show up as best as it could.

On the other hand I personally feel that it was hindered from being a finale this awesome show truly deserves by the mouse. Imagine how good it could've been if it had the time to develop the plot at a slower pace, if the show could've taken its time to develop the lore and the emotional beats of the story instead of giving last-minute exposition dumps and trying to fit all its eggs in one basket over the course of a measly 45 minutes.

It was good, but it could've been great, and that's just tragic.

I'm looking forward to any future projects by Dana Terrace because her and the team are truly brilliant artists and I hope their next projects will work out without all this corporate meddling.

Finally I want to say that obviously this was all just my opinion, I'm not pretending to speak the ultimate gospel truth and if you loved the finale that's cool, if you hated it that's also cool, you can have whatever opinion you like. This wasn't some sort of essay to convince anyone of my position, it was just me rambling about a show I like and maybe over time my opinions will change, this show is by no means a hill I'm willing to die on.

Don't take this post all too seriously and have a great day :)

#the owl house #toh spoilers #toh finale #my opinion #ramble from the void #long post #original post #might elaborate more on this another day if i ever feel like it

Flufftober #8

Title: Flufftober #8

Fandom: Kingsman

Pairing: Agent Whiskey x OFC

Author: @sheerfreesia007

Words: 594

Prompt: “Oh no, you’re a morning person!”

Permanent Tag List: @paintballkid711, @fioccodineveautunnale, @phoenixhalliwell, @linkpk88, @weirdowithnobeardo, @athalien

Author Notes: My main love Whiskey is back! It’s short but I’m still getting my feet wet. Words are hard.

Gif Credit: @massivecolorspygiant

The morning had already gone to shit when Whiskey finally made it into headquarters. He had slept through his alarm which made him late getting out of the house. Then his favorite coffee house had some equipment malfunctions so he wasn’t able to get his coffee on the way into work. The only saving grace of the morning was that traffic wasn’t a nightmare.

As Whiskey walked into headquarters he made a beeline for the break room in his department, hoping to quickly fill his body with that delicious caffeine that he was addicted to. He nodded his head at Tequila who raised his filled mug at Whiskey in response. Whiskey walked over to the coffee maker with only one thought in his head, to get coffee into his exhausted body.

“Good morning Agent Whiskey!” Came a bright cheery voice that made his eye twitch. He turned his head to the side and saw you standing there with your brightly colored mug with the inspirational saying on it that made him want to roll his eyes. He knew you were a new transfer into his department and were only trying to feel your way into the department but at this moment he wanted to grumble and growl at you with how happy you were this early in the morning. “How are you doing this morning? Are you ready for our meeting today?” You asked in rapid succession as Whiskey stared at you with one eye still twitching. You continued to question him at the coffee pot as he silently stared at you trying to find the best way to silence you. When you took a moment to breathe Whiskey let out a loud groan and you turned to look at him with concern.

“Oh no, you’re a morning person!” He cried out in dismay making your look of concern morph into an amused look. He grinned as he saw you cross your arms over your chest and roll your eyes at him.

“Let me guess you’re a night owl.” You say sarcastically and he grins at you.

“Damn straight darlin’.” He responded as you laughed at him while shaking your head. He had to admit he was enjoying this interaction and knew you were too if the smile growing on your face was any indication to your enjoyment.

“Well in that case, I’ll leave you to your coffee then so you can wake up.” You said before taking a step away from him. Whiskey panicked for a moment wondering if he had read you wrong as he reached out and grabbed onto your wrist. You looked back up at him in surprise and Whiskey realized that with just this little interaction with you he was more wide awake than if he had drank two cups of coffee.

“Now hold on just a second. What do you say to stickin’ to my side and keeping me awake during this meeting?” He suggested in a soft drawl. You smirked at him slyly before pretending to think about his offer. “You keep me awake and I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.” he offered. He watched as your smirk grew across your face and he felt his stomach drop down to his knees, he knew was a goner now. Lord save him but he was jumping feet first into this without a care in the world.

“Sounds like a deal Whiskey.” You said in agreement as Whiskey finally poured himself a cup of coffee that he wasn’t too sure he was going to need this morning after all.

For Usalmy: witch’s broom?

For Barclay: wonderland?

For Clee: rose petal?

For you: roses and glow?

-verkja

Thank you very much for the asks!

Usalmy: witch’s broom - Do you ever wish you could be a child again? Why?

She thinks she would enjoy going back to childhood. First, because she wouldn’t have so many responsibilities. Second, because she’d get to go back to a time where she wasn’t a disappointment or a laughingstock to pretty much her entire family and class.

BUT. She forgets how little control she had as a child. It wasn’t the extreme lack of autonomy that people like Harlowe and Clee dealt with, but it was still something she chafed under when she felt certain adults or older children were beneath her. She also remembers herself being much more well-liked by her peers than she actually was. She didn’t have a terrible social life as a kid, but it wasn’t quite as enjoyable as she remembers it.

Barclay: wonderland - What are you looking for in a friend?

He wants someone who has his back no matter how hard it gets. If not someone who will actually stick up for and protect him (which he would 100% never admit to wanting), then someone who will keep his secrets and cover for him. He does end up with someone in that role, thankfully.

Clee: rose petal - A few small things that make you happy?

She’s currently got twenty four small things tucked away in her coat pockets that have made her very happy so far… let’s see if she can keep them. 😈

Less literally, though, her favorite small joys are:

Numkarge (pronounced numb-CAR-yeh), a delicious, sweet blasphemy against multiple Girnic cuisines common in throughout the Sol system.

Telling tourists in the alien district of the wildest shit she can come up with about Girn culture and history, using the worst possible imitation of a boglander accent, and seeing how much she can get them to believe… and how much they’ll pay her as a “tour guide” to spin such bullshit.

Watching laughably bad dubs of cheesy Sarverni soap operas. Ironically. It’s not like she’s heavily invested in the relationship between two secondary characters in that one show or anything. And she definitely did not cry even a little at the major character death in the most recent season finale of another.

Me: roses - What fictional universe would you like to live in?

To continue with the Owl House brainrot, the Boiling Isles could be fun. Having magic is the default, you get a magical critter friend that also turns into a staff you can fly on, being queer is seemingly widely accepted, there’s a lot of weird-looking people so I wouldn’t feel too out there… of course, living under a despot who wants to destroy the world is a major con here.

Babylon 5 would also be a good choice, especially being on the eponymous space station. It seems like an interesting place even without all the events of the show, what with being amongst all types of aliens, and just… the experience of being in space. Plus, because relatively small setting, there’s a bigger chance I’d run into and be able to interact with blorbo from this particular show. Geeking out with Vir about Earth history would be awesome.

And in both these settings -one because healing magic, one because futuristic technology - I wouldn’t have to factor in not having my medical needs met.

Me: glow - What do you value most in people?

Staying kind and trying to do well by people even/especially after facing terrible things. Depending on the person, it makes me want to follow them, protect them, or both.

Photo

19/06/2022: Blog one of two: First morning in the cottage and walk from Flamborough North Landing to Thornwick Bay and back

I woke to a lovely sunny morning in the cottage for our first morning here, and liked taking in the surroundings in the sun seeing and photographing roses like the ones in the tenth and final picture in this photoset, other flowers like the one in the ninth picture I took today in this photoset and birch and other trees looking stunning in the sunshine. I also really liked seeing Swift and House Martin flying over and House Sparrow, and as my Mum did on the way back last night she saw a Barn Owl flying over showing how immersed in a rural area the place we’re staying is which is amazing and a big part of any trip away for us.

We then firstly today went to the place we went on the opening night when staying in Yorkshire last time in 2018, Flamborough North Landing, having a lovely walk down to the place that we went before going home last time and became so fond of Thornwick Bay taking in views of Bempton Cliffs the main place for us this time and last looming behind too. It was great to get distinctive rock and cliff features of both Thornwick Bay and Bempton Cliffs in one photo the fifth in this photoset two views that have stayed with me. I liked taking in such beautiful rocky and sheer cliff coastal scenery on the walk, with meadows around and Flamborough Head lighthouse in view too in some great bits of sunshine it was so enjoyable. I took the first and seventh pictures in this photoset of views here today too.

Of course as we had seen here before we got brilliant views of seabirds on the cliffs, on the water and flying. There were especially glorious views of Gannets as these large ocean wanderers flew in nice formations and alone, it was so immersive to be stood on the cliff and see them not just flying close in to the land but over our heads. It was nice to see their sweet mixture of colours and see some of the young third year Gannets with their black feathers making them look like they are wearing a jacket. I took the third picture in this photoset of one. I felt similar with the Kittiwakes and Fulmars, getting some epic close views of these birds I adore I took the fourth picture in this photoset of a Kittiwake. Razorbills were pleasingly around in large numbers I really liked getting a great fill of seeing them again. Guillemots looked especially great on the cliffs with Razorbills some nice views of these birds that captivate me and in among them too as well as thrillingly seen flying and on the water were some more sea clowns the Puffins I took the eighth picture in this photoset of these three auks with a pigeon nearby. I was so pleased to see and hear these favourite birds of mine some more.

Kestrel, Willow Warblers, Skylark and bright red Linnets were other birds we got special views of on the walk.

It was a nice walk of insects with Common Blue, Large Skipper and Small Tortoiseshell butterflies seen well. There was also a nice hoverfly and I enjoyed seeing a fair few Five-spot Burnets including two mating a key species seen today I took the second picture in this photoset of the two mating.

Flower wise a couple of northern marsh orchids stood out, such stunning flowers that I have been so pleased to see when away here today and yesterday. I also liked seeing much red campion including some lighter ones, thrift, lots of hogweed including standing out in the landscape on cliffs seen from afar, yarrow, bird’s-foot trefoil, plantain as I saw well yesterday at Bempton Cliffs too, meadow crane’s-bill, possible mallow, beautiful common rock-rose, vetch and dock all other highlights on a brilliant coastal walk. I liked seeing the I believe sea arrowgrass as shown in the sixth picture in this photoset at Thornwick Bay too which looked pretty.

It was so nice to be in such a beautiful landscape and take in places with such happy vibes. And I love in a coastal landscape at this time of year to see it teeming with seabirds, it’s really a wonderful part of feeling immersed in a place. My next post details another walk we had today.

Wildlife Sightings Summary: Six of my favourite birds Gannet, Fulmar, Kittiwake, Puffin, Razorbill and Guillemot, two of my favourite butterflies the Small Tortoiseshell and Large Skipper, one of my favourite moths the Five-spot Burnet, probable Shag, Herring Gull, pigeons, Linnet, I seem to recall Goldfinch, probable Rock Pipit, Skylark, Willow Warbler, House Martin well, great views of Carrion Crows, Common Blue, hoverfly, possible horse fly and I heard Jackdaw.

ok friendo this one is just for me cause i gotta know, Hootie

ok so the thing you have to understand is that the way i feel about hootie is a lot like izzy but, like, in reverse

so, most kids cartoons you watch (not all) have this gimmick that I like to call 'the gross friend', which is like one ally character who hangs out with the protagonists but is gross, or annoying, usually for comedic value, and usually i dont like them (think the ape from GenRex, sorry ape). Hootie fully occupies the roll of 'gross friend' for Owl House but he's not gross to the levels I'm used to in other cartoons - he's more annoying than truly gross, and annoying is forgivable if the character is otherwise enjoyable

and the thing is Hootie kind of doesn't do a lot narratively and yet... he is The Owl House?? like the role that The Owl House plays in the first season of The Owl House is weirdly minor, and similar to Kikimora it makes me feel like his role is going to get punched up a LOT in the final episodes, and I'm mostly incredibly curious and fascinated to see what that is??

so like. a lot of Hootie's annoying-ness isn't really that funny to me personally, but there's just a spark of something interesting going on with this character that I'm intrigued by him anyways?? I wanna see what the story is gonna do with him??

also also, Hootie is like genuinely a nice person/demon and the way he's used as the emotional punching bag in season one frustrates me. Lilith befriending Hootie and them becoming weird besties ride-or-die was SUCH a good character choice for both of them because, like, after a whole season of Hootie just being nice but a little gross and pretty annoying suddenly he got a friend who legitimately cares for his wellbeing and happiness? and after a season of being literally the villain Lilith picks the one character we're most ready to see receiving sympathy and says 'this one, he's my best friend now'?? like, bam, instantly we love Lilith, instantly we see Hootie as a desirable friend and companion, it was so freaking good

and Hootie's been such a good catalyst for events happening - a deus ex machina to delay King getting that letter, actively causing Edith's transformation and Luz/Amity to get together, etc. like as a narrative device he's very useful, and as a character he's very interesting. but sometimes he rips himself out of his door and its gross ew

#anyway thats my hootie essay im sure i could write more #ask meme

Focusing on myself ~ Day 15

December 17th, 2023, Sunday 9:18 pm

Good eveningggg. :) I thought it was appropriate to have that photo as my "opening" because that's the thing I've been doing the most these past couple days: reading. And guess. What. Book. I. Finally. Finished. Iron Flame. GaAKFNnSKJdnkmfkmKAMk. That's how I feel about it. Like. Just. AHG. The ending BROKE MY HEART. I won't give anything away, but if you're reading it- READ. Just read. I also started another book that I might've mentioned in my last post: The Last She by H.J. Nelson. And when I tell you I haven't read a book like that as quickly as I am right now...just believe me, I am zoomin'. It is SO GOOD. If you love dystopian apocalyptic with a twist of romance books...READ THE LAST SHE. It's a duo series, so there's just one more after this one: The Last City. And I fully plan on grabbing it at the library this week. At the rate I'm reading it at, I should be able to finish it before we leave for our Canada trip on Thursday. Then, I'll work on the second one. ;) I'm also reading one of the older Babysitter's Club books too, one that I've read the graphic novel version of it so I guess I'm technically re-reading it but it's a good comfort/break read. :) Good-bye Stacey Good-bye, is what it's called. Then, I also read a chapter earlier tonight of the romance novel I'm working my slow way through: Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. So, lots of good reads happening right now. :)

As well as good progress at being better at focusing on myself! I've had trouble with saying no to friend hangouts, mostly 'cause I wanted to spend time with my friends and this was an opportunity but also because I didn't want to feel left out. But, I decided to chill and stay home and I see that as a step forward into the whole reason why I do these writings! So, I'm proud of myself for that. <3

Speaking of friends, I did hang out with them recently (what I was talking about was future plans) and me and one of my besties went to the book/coffee shop I work at and got iced coffees and books! :) We got this latte called the "Barn Owl," lavendar and white chocolate, super good. The books that we got are: Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton (the one she got), and mine, Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake. I've been wanting to buy one of that author's books; we've had three that seemed similar that all looked super cute at the shop so I finally went for it. BUT- I got an idea from a customer the other day, he was picking up a book that he ordered and told me that he's going to wrap it and not open it or read it until Christmas. So it's like a Christmas gift to yourself! And I loved that idea. I've also loved wrapping presents lately, so it was great to wrap this too! ;)

I even set it under my baby Christmas tree in my room! (lookat how nice that wrapping is ;) ) I also made two illustrations for myself and tucked them in there as well. So, I'm planning on bringing that to Canada and when it's Christmas night, I'll open it and maybe catch a chapter or two. :) I think it's such a fun idea!

Focusing on myself things I've done lately:

I've spent a lot less time on my phone lately, ever since I deleted Tik Tok and Instagram. It has definitely helped my focus shift!

I spend more time in books or in my notebooks, doing things that I really love doing, that I can continually get better at or better at loving my type of art. I've done a couple illustrations and I'm loving them. Plus, I have included some in my focusing on myself practices that have made the whole process more enjoyable and easier.

Like I talked about earlier on, I said no to a hangout and allowed myself to just have future time to myself. Or just feel a little less stressed. (my brain has been shoving things in one after the other with the trip coming up, but this helped calm it down a bit)

Owl House gif 'cause look at how cute young Eda and Raine are. <3 And you should be able to be happy and twirl like that. :)

Until the next one, you lovely person,

Thalia <3

two can can't keep a secret

pairings: kuroo tetsurou x fem!reader

summary: he was your best friend, the love of your life, and then... nothing. having a certain someone right by your side made it hurt a tiny bit less.

warnings: strong language, angst, cheating

word count: 2k

“Come on, bro. You need to tell her. You can’t continue to keep things from her. She deserves to know.” Kuroo can hear Bokuto sigh in frustration over the phone before speaking.

“I know, I know. I’ll tell her eventually. I just… can’t find the right time—practice has been pretty busy for me and she’s been wrapped up in managing.”

“Dude, you can’t just keep sleeping with the other manager and not tell her.”

“Yeah, yeah. I get it, Kuroo.” Running an annoyed and nervous hand over his face, the raven haired boy slumps his shoulders in defeat.

“Promise you’ll tell her soon?”

“Promise.”

As you finish setting up the nets for today’s practice match, you high-five the other manager. Both of you have been here since early this morning, making sure everything is perfect for the match. You both glance towards the door as the familiar shouts of the Fukurodani boys volleyball team approach the gym. Bokuto and Akaashi are the first to enter, and the owl-haired boy immediately comes to greet you with a kiss on the cheek and a pat on the head. You blush in embarrassment as Akaashi notices and smiles at the two of you. Your relationship with the captain is no secret—he practically told everyone on the team when you first got into a relationship.

“Are you excited for the practice match today, Kou?” He nods in excitement as he puts his gym bag down.

“Hell yeah. I can finally crush Kuroo in revenge from last match.” Your eyes light up when you remember exactly who’s coming for the match. Nekoma specifically requested a rematch after they absolutely destroyed your team in a practice match a couple weeks ago. And with Nekoma, comes your favourite rooster-haired boy—Kuroo Tetsurou. Because of his friendship with your boyfriend, he often comes over to his house to hang out while you’re there, so you’ve struck up quite a relationship with him.

“I’m sure you will.” You’re about to say more, but Nekoma has already showed up and started to file into the gym. Kuroo immediately gravitates where you and Bokuto are standing, greeting you and his best friend with a hug. As he steps away from your embrace, you try to get rid of the pink tint that suddenly appeared on your cheeks. You don’t know why it’s there, but it shouldn’t be.

I don’t remember Kuroo being this attractive.

You take a second to study the boy in front of you, like you’re seeing him for the first time. You have to admit, there’s something about him today that’s different from usual. It’s not like you want to be unfaithful to Bokuto, there are just some things that can’t be helped. Like the numerous times you’ve touched yourself, thinking about Mr. Rooster-head over here instead of the man that is yours. Kuroo’s voice knocks you out of your thoughts, and you look up at him—while being pressed into Bokuto’s side.

“Missed you two. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.” You nod in agreement.

“The last time was the practice match a couple weeks ago.” Kuroo smirks at the memory, and you can see Bokuto fuming from where he’s standing next to you.

“Ah yes… I remember that quite vividly. That was quite enjoyable. Didn’t you think so, Bokuto?” Your boyfriend scoffs at his friend, clearly bothered but trying not to show it.

“Yeah, yeah. I remember. But you’re going down this time.” He wags a playful finger at him. “Last time was just a lucky game.”

“Oh it’s on.” Kuroo smiles with a playful glint in his eyes before turning toward you.

“Let’s get this match started.”

You can safely say that the match you just witnessed was the most playfully aggressive and competitive you’ve ever watched in your life. Bokuto was quite happy when Fukurodani triumphed and took the win, and was more than happy to rub it in his best friend’s face. It’s already late, the moon is high in the sky and the rest of the school is dark. Bokuto is off talking with Akaashi and some of his other team members and you’re finishing packing up the nets and balls. You can feel your mind unwillingly drift back to Nekoma’s captain again as you finish up your task. You don’t know why you can’t stop thinking about him—your loyalty is with Bokuto and him only.

“Hey, y/n.” You almost drop one of the net poles in surprise when you hear Kuroo’s voice from behind you, and he has to rush forward and grab it so it doesn’t crash onto the ground.

“Oh, hey Kuroo. You scared me.” He smiles and pats you on the head.

“Sorry ‘bout that. Could you show me where I can put these?” He holds up some official looking documents, and you step forward to see what’s on them. You immediately recognize the speech along with the various signatures scribbled at the bottom of the page. They’re the papers that both schools need for the upcoming training camp. Fukurodani is in charge of collecting all the forms from the schools that are planning on attending.

“Sure, follow me.” Navigating the dark hallways with Kuroo in tow, it doesn’t take long to reach the gym office. You take the forms from his hand and place them in the small folder on the office desk, and when you turn around you almost run into his chest. He grabs onto your shoulders and stares right into your eyes.

“Uhhh, Kuroo, what’re you doing?” You can see in his eyes that something is bothering him, but you don’t have a chance to say anything before he leans in and presses his lips into yours. Your eyes widen in shock but for some reason you don’t push him away. He breaks the kiss and looks at you with a certain kind of love and admiration that you’ve never seen before. But beyond that, you can see a hint of sadness.

You don’t hesitate to pull him into another heart-inflaming kiss, this one more passionate than the last. Your mind is blank, the only think you’re thinking about is Kuroo. There’s a guilty feeling in the back of your mind as you move your lips against the raven-haired boy’s and move your hands so they’re resting on his broad shoulders, but you relish in the feeling—in the moment—forgetting everything else. It’s not until you break away for breath that reality comes surging back at you—the reality where you’re with someone else.

“K-kuroo...” You take a moment to think about what you just did. Your mind is waving thousands of red flags in your face, but you push them all away to put your thoughts in order. “What about Kou? You’re his best friend... y-you can’t just do this to him.” He looks at the ground and takes a deep breath. He’s not sure—should he tell you? He loves you so much that it hurts to see you being lied to by the man who’s supposed to give you his all.

“Y/n...” He tentatively takes a step forward and caresses your cheek. “There’s something I need to tell you about Bokuto.” He gives you a moment to brace yourself before continuing. “He’s not being completely honest with you.” Shock flashes across your face, followed by confusion.

“What do you mean, Kou tells me everything—that’s not possible.” Your mind is already jumping to the worst possible scenario as mild panic starts to set into your heart.

“Look, y/n. I don’t mean Bokuto any harm, I just want the best for you. You don’t deserve to be treated badly.” Your eyes glass over, but you keep your voice steady as your eyes meet Kuroo’s.

“What did he do?” You can tell that Kuroo has an internal battle with himself before finally—after what feels like an eternity—answering your question.

"He’s... cheating on you. He’s sleeping with the other manager.” It takes a moment for his words to register, then the world starts to crash down on you. Sinking to the ground, you let out a sob as everything you thought you knew and loved comes crumbling to a wreck over you. The pain in your heart is so great, it feels like nothing—nothing—can make the pain go away. But then Kuroo is there. Kneeling down to wrap his arms around your form, he presses your head to his chest. The burning pain of what you just discovered subsides a little, and you’re grateful for his embrace.

“What am I gonna do now? How can I go back out to the gym and confront him?” There’s a pit of nervousness in your gut, and you wish you could just disappear and abandon your problems.

“Just go out. Face him. Because I know that you deserve better. And I’ll be right by your side the entire time.” His words dispel some of your fear, but you instinctively grab onto his hand to give you a sense of comfort. He squeezes it lovingly before kissing you gently on the forehead.

Walking out of the office, you and Kuroo make your way back to the gym, you partially hiding your joined hands behind his body. Bokuto looks up at the two of you when you enter the gym, and bounds over. His eyes immediately flick downwards towards your hands and he goes to speak but you beat him to it, gripping hard onto Kuroo’s hand for support.

“Why?” You ask, tears threatening to spill over your e/c eyes. “Am I not good enough for you?” Understanding immediately flashes onto his face and he turns accusingly to Kuroo.

"Why'd you tell her? I was-" He's cut off by your hand waving in his face.

"Hello? Am I just completely invisible to you now?" Your voice is loud and clearly upset, gaining the attention of the other team members still around. His amber eyes move back to you, softening slightly.

"Y/n, I-" He reaches his hand out to you, but you slap it away in rage.

"No! I don't want to hear you bullshit your way out of this. I'm done with you. Clearly you didn't love me enough to show me some respect—instead you go off and fuck the other manager. Go to hell, Bokuto." The owl boy winces back in fear, but you simply turn the other way.

"Could you walk me home, Kuroo? It's not that far from here. My parents are off on a business trip, so maybe you can even stay the night." You don't mean the unnecessary jab at Bokuto, but you can't help it, the amount of pure anger at him is uncontrollable.

"Sure, let me just grab my stuff and I'll be right there. Meet me by the entrance of the gym." Bokuto watches in astonishment and regret as you walk off, hand in hand with his best friend.

When you get outside into the cool night, you let go of Kuroo's hand and stretch your arms over your head.

"You seem surprisingly alright about this, y/n." You sigh deeply at his comment but continue walking next to him.

"I'm not alright, Kuroo. At all. I spent the last two years with him, only to realize now that he didn't love me at all. My heart is in pieces." He looks at you with concern, but you only offer a grateful smile.

"But I'm happy you were there—that you're still here even though Bokuto and I aren't together anymore. So thank you." He looks back ahead, letting a small smile creep up onto his face.

"I'm glad to help. As long as you're happy, I'm happy." Silence falls over the two of you as you continue to walk the short distance to your house, the moon casting a glow over the empty street.

"Were you joking about me staying the night?" You stop in shock and look at him with an open mouth.

"Seriously, Kuroo?"

"Well, I didn't mean it like that... I was thinking we could watch a movie or something." You laugh, and it makes a full smile break out onto his face.

"Sure, sure. That would be nice. I could use some ice cream and cuddles anyway."

Through Morning’s Rays

Fluffy mornings with the Obey Me! Brothers

💙Lucifer:

Both of your schedules differed a generous amount. He wakes up the earliest out of the House of Lamentation and Purgatory Hall combined, to ensure everyone’s up and ready for school/work/etc.... and he is the last to go to bed.

That is, if he isn’t dog tired by the time he’s finished doing his last rounds of security checks and sending any remaining night owls to their rooms to keep their schedules in check, and collapses at his desk while finalizing reports.

You, on the other hand, have a steady schedule due to your obligations to your school (and job, if you worked).

To say that you two have a hard time spending any amount of quality time together is an understatement

Please forgive him, he is a lone father and he is trying his best

When he’s up early to get a head start in working to the bone, as usual and doesn’t have much time to share the fleeting, morning hours with you, he’ll gingerly place a kiss to the top of your head and shift the blankets from your late night tossing and turning, back to their place over your shoulders and covers the rest of your body. He’ll leave a little note by the bedside table that wishes you a wonderful day and promises that he’ll meet with you shortly to make up for lost time.

On the rare occasions that he manages to be able to share mornings with you, it is like a gift from the celestial realm to you both in which afterwards, the two of you are like completely different people, beaming with sunshine and happiness as your batteries have been recharged.

In those rare moments, he’ll slide to your side of the bed, oh so carefully snake his arm around you and tugs you gently into his embrace as he places kisses all atop your head. When you finally open your eyes and face him, he’ll run his hand up the length of your silhouette to your face, cupping it, rub his thumb over your cheek and smile lazily. “Good morning, lamb.” He whispers, trying to disguise the grogginess in his voice. Then, he leans down to press his lips against yours in a way that makes you feel like he’s been starving for you for months on end, only to now get what he’s craved and yet it’s not enough.

In this moment, nothing in all of the realms matters to him more than you. Just you and you alone.

💛Mammon:

You spent many, many, MANY mornings with him and they were some of your favorite memories since you first came to the Devildom. For him.... well, maybe not at first since you were kind of a chore. But the was before you two became so close.

The only problem was that neither of you were morning people, especially if either of you had responsibilities that day like school or work. To deal with such a thing, the two of you made a deal where each of you took turns being the one to help wake the other.

There were mornings where he woke you up with a heavy pillow to the torso and it ended up in you two being late for school due to an epic pillow fight that neither of you wanted to lose.

Other mornings, you woke him up by jumping and flopping around next to him on the bed, belting a song that was the favorite of the pair of you, and he tackles you back down to the bed to deliver you a piping hot plate of a tickle fight

and then there were THOSE mornings.

These mornings, when the two of you just happened to wake around the same time, he’d smile sleepily, yank you closer, and place a kiss on your forehead. “Mornin’, my lil’ human.”

UGH, that gravely, morning voice would be the bittersweet death of you.

While having a few hours to spare, you would lay there in the semidarkness, whispering sweet everythings to each other, exchanging kisses and joke ensued laughter, and simply enjoying each other’s company while entangled in a comfy, cozy embrace.

🧡Leviathan:

It’s the same sort of situation as with Mammon; neither of you were really morning people. But with you two, it was because it came with the terms and conditions of being like minded nerds (as a fellow ‘nerd,’ I mean that term in the best way possible and as a compliment) in which the endgame boss had to be defeated, or that one episode simply could not be missed, or your favorite celebrity/idol was going live and you were not about to be absent for it. Many evenings were spent indulging in both of your favorite hobbies, well into the latest hours of the night and early morning, when you should’ve been sleeping instead.

So of course, mornings were INCREDIBLY ROUGH for the two of you.

In the beginning and a majority of the time, you were the one to wake him up. I hope you can forgive him, though, because almost all of his energy is spent drowning out his negative thoughts and the outside judgement from his own brothers, haters, and toxic fans alike via his hobbies and he doesn’t quite have enough energy to take care of himself, including waking up on time for school or other responsibilities/obligations to avoid getting an ass-chewing from Lucifer... much less waking up on time and then having to wake YOU up.

You had to show him the way, in a sense. You’re his motivation and safety net. Where you go, and ensure his ‘safety’ he delightfully follows. Ergo, you had to be the alarm clock for him, for a while, to be shown that you truly care about him and it’s not all just some exasperating, ridiculously elaborate and heart shattering prank.

Your method of ‘raising the dead’ was to gently comb your hand through his hair while softly beckoning him from his dream world with your sweetest voice to ‘the land of the living.’ His eyes would flutter open and as soon as he saw you with that heartwarming smile, his face would turn a deep crimson and he’d smile back, reaching a hand up to place it over top of yours, somewhat nuzzling into it. “Good morning, my human Henry.” His shy, quiet, gravely voice could melt lava.

Through this method of yours, he no longer woke with animosity for the normie world but was rather hopeful and optimistic, feeling as if nothing could bring him down. Not even his brothers’ insults.

Eventually, he got the hang of it, and he was the one waking YOU up and he did so as sweetly as you had done. He’d place his hand on your cheek, rub his thumb over it, and gingerly place a multitude of kisses atop your head as he whispered your name until you woke.

Some mornings when he was feeling extra giddy, he would place a little speaker near where you had fallen asleep and quietly play your favorite song as he sang along and took hold of your hands to swing them gently to the beat. He saw it once in an anime episode and was hoping it would award him the same giggles the love interest gave the protagonist.

Fortunately for him, it always did.

💚Satan:

Being one of the more mature and responsible brothers, he rarely ever slept in. It’s just in his nature to be an early bird to catch the early worm.. mostly to get it over with so he could get back to doing what he loved most; reading in comfort. Even still, his schedule matched with yours almost perfectly, and that’s due to the fact that, similar to Leviathan, you two were likeminded.

You had the same interests and hobbies so of course, the pair of you grew very close, very quickly. You first linked up for study sessions because celestial realm knows that school in the Devildom was VASTLY different than human world schools, then book club meetings for when you got a little more comfortable with each other’s presence, then as you became even closer, you just decided to do the same things at the same time as it killed two birds with one stone; you got to do what you enjoyed with the person you enjoyed the most.

Mornings to you two were fairly simple and honestly, quite enjoyable with the other being there when you woke.

One morning, Satan took the first step and woke you to the pleasant sound of one of your favorite records echoing from an antique gramophone while placing a tray of your favorite breakfast foods next to the bed. He then leant down, took your hand into his, and kissed from your knuckles, all the way up to your shoulder, and then planting one final, light kiss to your cheek. “My darling MC, it is time to come back to me. Your dreams have had you long enough.”

From then on, you took turns in trying to wake the other in the most romantic ways possible. From your favorite flower’s petals scattering the bed, to his favorite audio books reading him awake. There was nothing that you two wouldn’t do in order to guarantee that the other woke to nothing less than the world on a silver and golden platter.

He was the envy of his brothers especially Mammon, getting to spend so much time with you and having you smile as brightly as you did with him.

💖Asmodeus:

Surprisingly, he’s another early riser. Though when you really think about it, it isn’t quite that surprising, considering he has a strict self-care routine that CANNOT be broken, lest he wishes to end up with a pimple or even worse... a wrinkle! Which neither are bad if you have them, it’s just for Asmo’s personal tastes for his own appearance, he prefers to have none of them.

Because he cares for you so much, he forces sternly asks that you have the same schedule as he does so he can give you the same love and care as he gives himself. He wants you to look and feel as wonderful as who you are on the inside... but he also loves it when you absolutely SHINE.

Please don’t be mistaken, he doesn’t think you’re ugly or unattractive or any other negative thoughts you might have about yourself, in the least. Not at ALL. He simply wishes to amplify what wonderful assets you already have (to your own tastes, of course) because of that oh so magnificent way you carry yourself when you feel your best.

Want to as pretty as a sunset? He’s got you covered. Want to be as handsome as... well, him? You’re covered there too. Want a little mix of any and everything? Oh please, give him a challenge! Whatever look you wish for, he’s there to help you make it happen.

You just have to take his hand and follow his lead. And his lead requires that you be ‘up and at ‘em’ early enough to go through the self-care routine (that he handpicked things for, according to you and your body’s needs), and eat the proper foods so your body and mind can handle the weight of being the most stunning thing to walk the face of any of the realms... besides him, of course. Also, all of this has to happen before school begins.

Unfortunately, that’s pretty early. There’s a LOT of self-care to-do’s that you two have to go through to ensure maximum amplification.

But because he knows that this can be rather overwhelming and a bit stressful to keep up with all of the time (and stress causes physical and mental harm), he’s always sure to make your mornings as pleasant and stress-free as possible.

He lights one of your favorite candles or incenses, and/or turns one of your favorite slower/softer songs on then climbs into bed and over top of you to begin his trails of kisses from the top of your head, down your face, neck and chest, further down your precious tummy, and stops right at your hips to go back up your body and start again. All of this on repeat as he coos and whispers your name, his soothing voice leading you from your dreams to the waking world. When your eyes meet his, he hums “ahh, my dear, you’ve returned to me.” He moves to kiss your lips as sweetly as he speaks.

He then slips his arms underneath you and lifts you up, as if you were one of Lucifer’s feathers, to carry you bridal style into the bathroom. He’ll then set you down and slowly undress you, taking as much time as you need him to, before helping you into the tub and giving you the gentlest of washes you’ve had since before you can even remember.

He’s the most soothing alarm that’s ever existed.

❤️Beelzebub:

Not really an early riser but he’s also not one to sleep in, either. To sleep in means to miss breakfast, and to miss breakfast is a death sentence for himself and anyone in the way of his next meal.

It also means that he doesn’t get to spend his mornings or share breakfast with you. Another death sentence but this one’s for his heart. Even though he might not say it, being that putting his thoughts and feelings into words is a bit harder than his more comfortable/natural way of simply showing you through his actions, he loves you very, very, VERY much.

This man cares so fucking much for you, he’d give up eating for the rest of his life if it meant you got to have a crumb. But he hopes it doesn’t have to come to that.

The way that Beel shows you that he cares is through food. Eating with you, cooking with you, watching you eat to be sure that you’re getting enough food in your own body, taking his time to eat his food because, now, he’s too busy having wonderful conversations with you, and every and anything in between.

One of his favorite ways is breakfast in bed. You had done it once for him before on one of your anniversaries and ever since then, he’s done it for you in return whenever he got the chance.

On mornings that he had waken up early enough, he’d quietly get up and tiptoe to the kitchen to make both of you a delicious breakfast. If Belphegor was up, on the rarest of rare occasions that he was, he’ll make a little something for him too. He’d put together your favorite foods and beverage while doing the same for himself, draw a cute little heart on a small post-it note and placing it on your side of the tray, tip-toe back up to the room and sets it on the nightstand beside the bed, then moves in close to you to start waking you up. He leans in close and peppers your face in little kisses before moving a little lower to your neck and giving his signature, gentle bite. “MC, honey, wake up. I’ve brought you breakfast.”

Nine times out of ten, you wake up in an instant. When you’ve slept heavily during the night and have a harder time waking up, he plops down onto you gently of course as to not squish you and groans in your ear, nibbling them to remind you of who you’re keeping waiting. “MCCC, pleeeease, I’m hungry. Don’t make me eat yours.”

The warning never fails.

As you two chow down, his dimpled smile never leaves his face nor his eyes on you as he watches you enjoy another morning filled with your favorite things: Beel and Beel’s signature breakfast.

💜Belphegor:

Morning? What the hell is a morning?

Yeah, yeah, he knows what a morning is. He’s had to get up for them too many fucking times to count in order to get to school on time.. or at least try. His attendance is, more or less, nonexistent. He’s just not a morning person.

at ALL.

WHAT. SO. EVER.

The one thing ‘Mr. Sandman’ doesn’t do is wake up or get woken up if the awakener values their life

However... if it is you, his favorite walking and talking pillow, he can’t be that pissed about it. It’s a little more of a smooth transition from being asleep to being awake when you’re the one bringing him there.

So, yes, you’re the one waking him up and it’s never the other way around, but you knew this would be your lot in life the closer you had gotten to him.

And yet, whenever you tried to wake him, he’d simply wrap his arm over you and drag you back down onto the bed as he rolls on top of you, nuzzling his face in the crook of your neck. “No.” he’d groan in his gravelly morning voice.

What? What did he mean ‘no’ ?! It’s time to get up!!

You’d try your best to to wiggle free but Belphegor is far more stronger than he looks and keeps you pinned down in place. Well... at least it’s comfy.

Wait no, this is his way of coercing you to go back to sleep with him!

Before you can try something else, he plants warm and slow kisses up and down your neck and nibbles at the skin just beneath your ear while whispering in a low tone, “why don’t we just stay here and do something better than go to school?”

Your face heats up and body tenses underneath him. It was not uncommon for him to try this tactic, especially in the morning, so you were fairly used to it but sometimes... sometimes it just does something to you and you’re frozen in place with nothing but his voice to lull you wherever it pleased. Maybe it came with being the Avatar of Sloth? He moves up onto his elbows to deliver his final attack that was his signature, teasing smile in order for him to fully keep you here, in bed, with him and simply enjoy each other’s company while you slept.

Unfortunately for him, this was his mistake and you gained yourself a foothold in pushing him off of you. Getting up from the bed, you look back at him as you straighten your clothes out and fix your hair, saying “Breakfast is in ten minutes,” with a stern voice. You take notice of this and try to sweeten it up to truly convince him. “Be there, won’t you?” you demand more than request, with a signature smile of your very own.

He brings his dropped jaw back up from when you were able to knock him off, and shakes his head as he lightly chuckles. “Whatever you want, MC.” Before you completely walk out of the door, he calls after you. “You owe me!”

You peak back in just enough for him to hear you as you’re closing the door. “No, you owe me.”
