The owl house clouds on the horizon spoilers

ASDDHHSHAJAJ AHHHH SO MUCH IS HAPPENING!!!!!

Eda: we’ll see each other again after this

Me: I don’t believe a WORD you’re saying :”)

This ep gives very day of black sun vibes, and I think the finale next week is going to throw us into a pit of despair. As in everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. I have soooo many theories but before that-

LUMITY KISS!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!! I was not expecting that!!! Disney being Disney I thought it wouldn’t happen until like next season (as with a couple queer kids cartoons) but OMG!!!!! And it was soooo gorgeous as well omg

I love all the action and fighting!!! And hellooo Alador redemption arc!!! Alador resolving to be a better father!!! That being said, I absolutely LOATHE Odalia like holy shit wtf is wrong with her. I love seeing the whole gang together and fighting together tho yesssss

And the reveal at the end!!!! I thought Luz teleporting was like, her developing a new skill or her palismen’s power but no!!! It was a clue!!!!! Aaahhhh!!!!

Also SOMEONE on the ship that Eda is on is not who they say they are 🙃 either an illusion disguise OR a basilisk disguise. Cuz Eda turned back to herself after she put her head on but everyone acted like she was still in disguise? Idk I think it’s Raine, Steve, Lilith. Or idk they’re just a straight up traitor. Pretty sure we’re gonna get a traitor reveal next week. Because I feel like Raine would’ve protested using Eda as part of their plans A LOT more. (But also we were right about this part!!!) The last time she used her magic she was ready to DIE. If she uses it for the DOU is she gonna die????? And I feel like Raine would not let Eda get branded with a sigil, even though Eda agreed to it. Like Raine would never do anything to take away Eda’s freedom. Are they going to kill off Eda???? If Eda dies I’m gonna 🔪🔪🔪 I wanna say it’s not gonna happen cuz this is Disney but… there’s a first for everything :”)

Another thing I think could go wrong is the owl beast inside the curse will recognise the collector or vice versa and will render Eda unable to use her powers or something.

Okay but seriously tho how?? When?? Did that switch happen!!!! Omg I did not see that coming at all!!!!! Everything just happened so fast!!!!

Also lol re: Luz’s palisman y’all WE GOT TROLLED 😂 we really thought we were gonna get a palisman reveal this week, but it’s very in character for Luz tho!!

Other cute moments I loved: Eda, Luz and King fam hug ❤️ Luz getting Raine to promise to protect Eda ❤️ LUZ WILLOW AND GUS REUNION!!!! bruh I feel like we haven’t seen them together in so long. And eeeveryone’s new outfits are so cute!!! I love Hunter’s!!! It suits him really well; and also all the Huntlow moments!!! I’ve been on board this ship since the flying derby episode yalls ❤️

rant on queer representation & media in asia

ranting about something that happened a bit ago on twitter but i felt it was important to continue it here. i do want to add a disclaimer that i am not an expert in queer studies nor on my history/politics in asia before we begin.

if you’re on twitter, you’ve probably seen those “who’s the most influential/famous yaoi/yuri ship” polls that went around like crazy. if you haven’t, you could probably guess what it was about.

two of the ships for the yuri/GL polls were lumity (owl house) and bronseele (ggz + hi3 + hsr. admittedly, the OP specified hsr while using a pic from an older game). and y’all, i thought this shit was going to be a friendly lil game, but certain people made this shit serious. saying lumity had more impact “because they showed pride flags” and “it’s disney’s first queer main couple!” or something, and then basically insinuating bronseele flops bc they weren’t as openly queer, didn’t hold pride flags, etc.

completely ignoring the facts that 1) the pic the poll OP used was them kissing, 2) they’re canon in the older games, and 3) them kissing predates lumity/owl house show by many years.

but anyway, i wanted to go more into the fact that acting like bronseele (or any queer characters/ships from non-western countries) wasn’t impactful to you as a westerner is really ignorant to queer people elsewhere. but specifically using bronseele as an example since being queer still isn’t legal in China, media censorship is Real there, and yet hoyoverse STILL passed bronseele canon (& so many other queer coded characters) into their media over and over despite the GOVERNMENT LEVEL challenges.

disney and hoyoverse are both companies that suck and i’m not bootlicking either of them. they both have a LOT of work to do to be better as a company. but praising DISNEY of all companies for queer rep when they’ve always had more freedom to do so earlier (and just chose not to to appeal to its more conservative audiences) yet chose not to, is certainly a choice. and disney still has yet to have a queer main character in its main movies.

i’m not dismissing lumity fans, nor am i dismissing how impactful they might’ve been to you (because even as a non TOH fan, i do see how impactful they are! bc ultimately they still are a queer couple consisting of the MAIN character in a popular disney show). but dragging down foreign queer content and queer ships bc they don’t fit YOUR criteria of “is it actual representation” is weird, especially when you ignore the socio-political barriers in said region/country.

same thing with Alice Osem*n making claims that “yaoi”/Asian BLs are fetishistic and lumping all Asian queer media together. the superiority complex is crazy.

like i’m so sick of western/yt queers thinking they’re the spokespeople for the entire queer community + queer content, forgetting how other people in other countries still have to go through legal loopholes in order to simply have their queer content PUBLISHED (or even further, having the right to exist as an openly queer person). and that even if we all had the same rights, the way queer content is delivered and expressed would STILL be differently because the LGBTQ+ community is NOT a monolith.

you can absolutely detest a ship all you want. but don’t put down others because it doesn’t fit your narrow-minded narrative.
