I’m actually starting to feel slightly sick hearing about the finale. When the release date was announced a couple days ago, my brain knew what was happening, but hadn’t fully acknowledged it. But now that Dana has confirmed that production on Watching and Dreaming has finished, it’s beginning to dawn on me. My brain is realizing that “holy shit, this is it. This is really happening”. And it’s pretty jarring to go from starting the show and getting invested one minute, to the most obsessed I’ve ever been with something and watching it end, in a matter of moths. I’m having to say goodbye a lot sooner than I thought I would.
Now, all of the shows I’ve watched have either ended years ago, still have years left in its lifespan, or ended while I was watching it but I wasn’t that emotionally invested to really have a reaction beyond “oh well. Guess that’s it.” So I’ve never really known what it’s like to face and await the inevitable end of a show you really love. But with Owl House, it’s a whole other situation. I’ve been obsessed with things before, but I’ve never latched onto something so fast and so tight like I have with this show. The characters, the story, the music, the ships, the layers and the parallels, the fandom, the wonderful people who have worked on it, everything. It’s got me in the tightest grip that I never want to escape from. I wanna be with this show and it’s fandom for as long as I can.
This is the first time I’ve ever actually been afraid for a show to end. And it’s not what happens in the finale that I’m worried about, it’s what comes after the finale that scares me. Because after this, what’s next? What else is there to look forward to? There’ll be nothing left outside the fandom. The show might slowly fizzle out over the next year or so and then what? It’s the uncertainty of it all that has me worried for what we’ll all do when The Owl House is gone. And there’s no telling what Disney will want to do with the IP, if they decide to do anything at all.
I’m scared, sad and I don’t know how to process this or prepare myself. I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do once all is said and done. And a part of me just really doesn’t wanna find out.

You ever see some posts that low key imply a character is going to die, so you just try to ignore it. You’re early in the show, some people kill off characters in fan works just because that character almost died and not because they actually died, died. But the amount of content of them being dead is still concerning and now you’re later into the show and you still haven’t even seen anything about this supposed death. As a matter a fact this show has kind of shown it doesn’t make sense for anyone to permanently die. But you haven’t forgotten all those posts you saw about them being dead. So one day out of pure morbidity curiosity you cave and just look it up. And it turns out they do die in the next couple episodes you were going to watch soon. And instead of this actually being a relief as now you actually have an answer you’re just kind of pissed off because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KILLED MY FAVORITE CHARACTER?!?
But yeah anyways that ever happen to you? Because that certainly didn’t just happen to me. No sir.
