#look at the way she's looking at amity

[little-pondhead]

[inspired roughly by this post. My brain snails started going nuts so I thought it'd be easier to post this separately :)]

…

It was a lovely day in Gotham. Well, as lovely as it could be. The sun was up, peeking through the overhead cloud cover and making the buildings gleam in the rare sunlight. The air was fresher than usual, and faucets ran clear of strange and unusual toxins.

Somewhere in the Upper East Side, in a little neighborhood tucked away from the rest of the city, marched around the new boss of the area. She was a young girl, just barely in high school. But despite it being the middle of a work day, she wandered around her chosen streets, content to do whatever she wanted. Above her, a pair of siblings watched on and discussed the unique situation.

"So let me get this straight: that fourteen-year-old goth girl is a crime boss?"

Mia smiled at Leon, her older brother, and his dumbfounded expression as they rested on her balcony. "She's fifteen, actually. Her birthday just passed. We all got together and threw a block party for her!"

"You know how insane that sounds, right?" Leon turned to her, a bit miffed that she dared to say those words to his face. "She's a kid. Why do you all listen to her?"

Mia shrugged and sipped her beer. "She does good work. Holds her own pretty well, and the kid has connections. Good ones, too. That can be the difference between life and death in Gotham."

Leon rubbed his forehead in frustration. "I just don't get it. How did she end up in this line of work? Do child labor laws even apply here?? Why aren't the Bats doing anything?"

"Don't think about it too much, dipshit." Mia crushed her now-empty beer can in her hand and tucked it into a paper garbage bag hanging off of a hook on the balcony rail. A familiar set of green arrows was printed on the side.

"And now you're recycling?!" Leon realized. "When did you start doing that, Mia??"

The woman shrugged and got up, stretching. "Probably around the time Brambles absolutely reamed out Mrs. Zalinski for littering at the park."

"Wait, who's Brambles?" Leon scrambled upright and followed his sister inside.

Mia laughed. "Brambles is our fifteen-year-old crime boss!"

...

"I can't believe you got a cool name right off the bat," Danny grumbled, flopping onto Sam's bed face-first. Sam smirked and shoved him off with her foot. Danny just squawked and let himself ragdoll to the ground.

"It's your fault for not having a better gimmick." She said to his prone body. "Besides, it could've been worse."

"I think Inviso-Bill is the worst possible nickname for anyone." Danny groaned. "But you got something cool immediately. Who even thought up 'Brambles'? That's such a unique name!"

"Well the kids call you Grim; that's pretty cool."

Danny flopped over, twisting himself much farther than any human was supposed to just so he could glare at her face. "They only call me that cause one of the is obsessed with Harry Potter." He grumbled, pouting.

Sam just rolled her eyes and went back to sorting through piles of papers scattered all across her duvet. Since moving to Gotham several months ago, Sam had taken it upon herself to turn the experience into something useful rather than just moping all the time, as she originally wanted to. That 'something useful' had landed her as the newest crime boss in Gotham, with about a third of the Upper East Side as her current territory.

So many problems had popped up in the last year, and the group had decided that taking it on alone would never work. The GIW had been trying to close Amity's borders, Danny's parents had a scientific breakthrough, tensions in the Realms were high, etc. There was a lot on their plate! Sam's solution was to create a foothold in Gotham City. She would lay the foundations for Jazz to work in Arkham and forge a safer environment for the residents of Amity Park to sneak off to if the GIW went too far. She was essentially weaving a cushion for everyone to fall back on.

Danny, using the power of duplication, was splitting his focus between foiling his parent's plans and resolving issues with his rouges to create a united front. He was the main distraction, and Sam's own heavy hitter when she needed help establishing dominance.

Tucker planned to gather intel with the help of Technus and Jazz. They were trying to gather as much evidence as possible so they'd be in the clear when the whistle blew. The GIW would crash and burn, legally speaking. They were the bugs of the operation, spreading themselves thin and hoarding information like it was candy.

Dani was their wild card, their jester. She was keeping the JLD's attention focused solely on her and all the supernatural hijinks she was stirring up. When the time was right, she'd point them in the direction needed and let them loose. After winding them up so much, the hope was that the Justice League Dark would descend upon the GIW like hellfire.

But those were their future plans. Right now, Sam was in possession of specific files from Arkham Asylum and the GCPD. She was looking for anything to give her an edge in the upcoming meeting with a few other crime bosses. Some annual thing they host to renew Goonion contracts, see who's still alive, and examine how much the territory lines have changed. Stuff like that. Red Hood was supposed to be there, and she knew she needed an ironclad defense against him and his nosy colony of Bats.

Danny untwisted himself all of a sudden, making a weird face. "Sorry, got to go." He apologized. "Vlad just showed up to my house."

Sam waved him off. "Go, I'll be fine for today. Just be on time for the meeting on Friday. And I want you, not a double."

"You got it!" Danny did finger guns at her and promptly melted into a pile of green goo. Right on her bedroom floor!

Sam sighed and got up to throw a towel over the puddle. The ectoplasm would evaporate eventually, returning to the original Danny little by little. But for now, this would keep anyone from asking about it until it was all gone.

Sometimes she really hated living in student dorms. People always felt the need to burst into her room for no reason.

Who even made dorm rooms for high schoolers in the first place??

...

Jason couldn't help but stare at the new recruit.

Well, 'new recruit' wasn't exactly accurate. 'Potential to be the most headache-inducing supervillain' was more like it. Standing at a solid 5'10" with platform boots, Brambles, the newest crime lord who had taken over half of the Upper East Side in under four months, was almost tall enough to look him in the eye straight on. Which she tried to do anyways, tilting her chin up oh-so-slightly (in that stupid way aristocrats do when they want to look down at you) and glaring at him with open hostility.

Brambles was young, way too young to be in this line of business. At the start of the annual underground crime meeting (yes, they couldn't come up with a better name), she had announced that she was fifteen, went by she/her, and would snap the dick off of anyone who looked at her funny. Most everyone laughed at her, thinking it was an empty threat. Brambles proved it wasn't by sucker-punching a younger lieutenant who tried to get handsy with her five minutes into the meeting.

When the lieutenant's boss protested and threatened a gang war, Brambles had snapped her fingers and summoned what could only be a fucking pit demon from the depths of hell to threaten the man back. The creature looked like a teenager, just like Brambles, at first. But it was...off. The longer you looked, the worse it got.

It wore a draping black cloak that covered most of its body, with the ends turning to mist when it reached the floor. It had a pale, young face and white hair. Its eyes glowed just like Brambles', except they were a toxic green that made Jason's heart skip a beat in fear. The creature was snarling, with a fucking muzzle on it to keep its sharp teeth away from wandering fingers.

With a nod from Brambles, the creature bounded forward and knocked the guy to the floor, its arm elbow-deep into the guy's chest. The dude looked terrified, and a little sick "Would you rather lose a lieutenant or your life?" She had snarled, sounding almost a bit demonic herself. The other boss had backed down without another word, writing off his subordinate as dead and gone.

Instead of killing the guy, however, Brambles simply banished her little guard dog to a corner of the warehouse to play with its new toy in peace.

"Is she allowed to do that?" Someone whispered.

"They weren't unionized, so the Goonion won't say anything." Another answered.

It was the most awkward meeting in the history of the criminal underworld. No one even died since they were all focused on the newcomer.

Jason could feel a headache forming as the meeting came to an end. Brambles was still sitting in her chair. The creature had grown bored of its toy and was leaning against her, sprawled out lazily and barely flicking an ear at the onlookers in acknowledgment. A few people were idling around her, mostly women, trying to talk some big game and get on the kid's good side. Brambles was humoring them, taking tight control of the conversation when they got too prying.

Jason sighed. He knew he'd have to go over and have a talk with the kid, even if it was just for Bruce's files. He hauled himself upwards and stalked over. "Pardon me, ladies and gents, but I'm going to borrow the kiddo here for a moment."

The creature hissed at him, tensed at his approach. Brambles kept a tight grip on the back of its muzzle, keeping it grounded. The other criminals scattered like flies. They were the only two (three?) left in the warehouse within minutes.

Bramble rose to glare at him. "What." She spat. "If you're here to convince me not to get involved with anything, I will set Grim on your ass after lighting it on fire."

The creature, Grim, growled in agreement. The sound echoed strangely like he was hearing it from underwater.

"Relax, I'm not here to do any of that." Jason raised his hands in surrender, immediately abandoning that possible line of thought. "I'm just here to talk business. You're young, and while you don't want to admit it, inexperienced."

"Stop the fancy words, Red Hood." Brambles' eyes glowed again, and she released her hold on Grim's muzzle. "If you want to make a deal, say it to my face. If you're here to dig for information, either ask me or hit the road. I prefer honesty over flower talk, so tell me what you want before I take over your area, too."

Jason bristled. His vision was tinted green as he snapped, "What the fuck is your problem, kid?! I just wanted to make sure you were safe and not being forced to do this. I was even going to offer my support and protection if it was too much! I know you aren't going to stop, but that doesn't mean I want a kid to die just because they got into something they shouldn't and they think their fancy guard dog will always be there to protect them!"

Brambles' eyes stopped glowing, and her stare softened a bit. Grim went deadly still, just floating there, staring at Jason. His heart beat like crazy in his chest. What was he saying? It was all true, but he could've been nicer about it. Dick would've found a way to be nicer.

-krrrk- "Ibis, reporting in. I think you can trust him, guys. Even if he's a Bat, his connections and experience would be useful in our plans. Ibis out." -krrrk-

Jason flinched from the sudden noise, looking around to find the source. It sounded like it had come from everywhere, even inside his own helmet. Brambles immediately switched out her hostile look for an annoyed one, tapping an earpiece he hadn't noticed before.

"Ibis, you really have to stop opening up our comm lines to the public." She snapped, but there was no real heat to it. "And I thought I told you to stop eavesdropping!"

-krrrk- "Sorry, can't help it. I'm everywhere now! You shouldn't have given me this power." -krrrk-

Grim hissed.

-krrrk- "Don't hiss at me, young man! You were the one who suggested this!" -krrrk-

"I'm sorry, time out!" Jason made a T with his hands. The green from his vision had completely disappeared now. "What the FUCK is going on now?"

Brambles sighed, rubbing her temples. "You know what? Fine. We'll trust you. My name is Sam. Nice to meet you, Jason Todd."

Jason stepped back, immediately reaching for his gun. Grim darted forward and promptly flew through him, stealing all his weapons in one go. "I'm Danny!" Grim-Danny?-chirped in a human voice, giving him a shit-eating smile. "Sorry for the act, Mr. Hood. And sorry about the name drop, I'm the one that told them."

-krrrk- "I'm Tucker! There are more of us, but they're busy. I have literally so many questions for you, Mr. Hood." -krrrk-

"Now that introductions are over-Danny don't eat his smoke bombs, you're not gonna look like Dorathea-we'd like your help."

Jason squinted at them. "You understand this is all suspicious as fuck, right? And how did a pit demon find out who I am?"

-krrrk- "Yeah, we know. But lives are on the line here, and I think you'd really be a help!" -krrrk-

Brambles-Sam-sighed and pulled out a flash drive. "I was going to use this as leverage, but I guess it'll have to be useful in other ways." She tossed it to Jason, who numbly caught it. "Look over it if you want. If you don't, then just burn it. Do not try to plug it into the Batcomputer. Don't try to send it to the Batcomputer, either. A virus will target that specific IP address as soon as it makes contact. Any other computer is fine."

"Look it over, and we can go from there," Danny added, spinning in midair while chomping on one of Jason's knives. (His good one, too!) "And I'm not a pit demon, but I am dead. That's how I knew about you. Whatever brought you back to life gave the Realms a real headache for a while. It wasn't hard to look you up in the records."

"This is so much information. Lives are on the line? And two, three kids are dealing with it? By becoming crime bosses?"

-krrrk- "Technically, Sam's the only crime boss here. And that was kind of an accident. She was supposed to create a safe foothold in Gotham in case we needed to evacuate our town. But we all got cool nicknames out of it! And you're the only adult we've told this stuff to!" -krrrk-

"I'm what?"

"The only adult." Sam's unwavering gaze seemed to pierce his soul. "There are quite literally no other adults that can help, Red Hood. None that we trust, not really. Any adult intervention needs to be planned carefully so it doesn't backfire on us. We're trusting you here, Jason. Not only are you like us, which technically puts you in danger too, but you have power and connections to support a whole town of people the government wants to eradicate."

Jason looked at the little green flash drive in his hand. He didn't want to ask. "And this...?"

"A fruit basket," Sam said simply. "Originally, it was supposed to be blackmail. But instead, this is a present to show our goodwill and faith. To show you our skills. That drive contains information on other gangs, upcoming rogue attacks, chemical breakdowns of Joker Venom and Fear Gas, unfinished antidote formulas, etc. Tucker and his team scoured the underbelly of Gotham and gathered dirt on every single prominent figurehead. Including Bruce Wayne, should you choose to use it."

"I would never-"

"But you've thought about it." Danny cut in and scratched his neck. Jason's hands shook. "It's not a bad thing. It's just the nature of the dead. Wanting to right the wrongs left over from their time with the living. Even if you walk and breathe now, that doesn't mean desire disappears."

"The point is, we need help. Even if I'm loathe to admit it." Sam rolled her eyes, and suddenly, Jason didn't see a potential supervillain in the making. He saw a teenager trying her best, shouldering the responsibility of hundreds of people, both in Gotham and her hometown. Danny looked the same, no matter how other-worldly he was. What battles were they facing? Why weren't there any adults to turn to? What kind of lives were they leading if they immediately trusted a known crime lord with their lives upon the first meeting?

"I'll think about it." Jason finally said. Danny trilled in excitement, and some tension bled out of Sam's shoulders. "If the situation is bad enough, however, I'm calling in someone else for help."

Danny shrugged. "As long as it ain't Batman! I don't think he'll appreciate us smuggling a town of liminals into his city."

Sam poked Danny's shoulder, prompting him to look at her. "Let's go, before you break his brain with more info-dumping. Bye Red Hood!"

"Uh, yeah. Goodbye!" Jason stuttered. He watched the two kids walk towards the exit door, before shimmering out of sight before they even touched the handle.

What the fuck.

Amity is snippy with Hunter not because she hates him or doesn’t trust him or doesn’t forgive him for eclipse lake, but because she has Also slotted him into a familial sibling role in her head and is the only one of the Hexsquad with experience prior to the start of the show with being a Little Sister. Like she saw him, clocked him as Gus and Luz’s older brother, and went ‘okay I got this I know how to interact with older brothers. HEY DIPSHIT YOUR OUTFIT SUCKS’

#look at the way the Blight sibs rib each other! Amity does like Hunter she’s just getting her affection social script from ed and em #toh #the owl house #amity blight

normally i get annoyed with "he's a lesbian to me" nonchalance from people who do not care much for lesbians & i prefer to blog about actual women in media instead, but my One ongoing personal exception is that hunter owlhouse is a dyke. i don't even know if he has gender stuff going on i just know he's a dyke. he has the energy and has been accepted into the club by me, the supreme ultimate ordained gatekeeper of dykeness. thanks for the understanding everyone 🙏

#'is this for the sake of shipping him with amity' actually no but let's not discount how funny that would be of me #he's just a dyke. look at him. #toh #hunter toh #*the joke is that i don't believe in gatekeeping. pls do not think i actually consider myself a gatekeeper of dykery. #adam parrish is a dyke about half the time but when she is it's DEFINITELY in a repressed trans way. #hunter just transcends all gender boundaries.

Don't mind me everyone, I am just sitting over here experiencing Totally Normal feelings about the Caleb/Evelyn subtext in Hunting Palismen.

I am not screaming, crying, shaking, and/or throwing up over how Hunters first act of betrayal against Philip was cherishing the bond he has with Luz. This bond is represented by Flapjack, the physical representation of Caleb and Evelyn's love.

I do not watch this episode, with my mouth agape, every time I see Hunter return home to his abusive "uncle" knowing full well physical punishment will most likely be dealt to him. He knows that his "uncle" might add another scar to his face, but he still chooses to return home empty-handed rather than turn against Luz. I react in a manner that can undoubtedly be perceived as normal every time I see Hunter choose to keep Flapjack, even though handing Flapjack over to his abusive "uncle" would spare him further punishment.

I am also casual about Hunter's reaction to Luz's words and disappointed gaze:

Luz: So you're really gonna do this? You're just gonna hand all these innocent little guys over to Belos? I know what he does with them. I thought you might've been a good guy. But I guess that was just wishful thinking. You're not my friend. You're just the Golden Guard.

Hunter: My name is Hunter.

Luz: [gasps]

I am not taking note of how he cares about her opinion of him. I am also not taking note of how she is the only character who actually listens to him AND how she's the only character he tries to impress.

I have not been taking note of how Luz and Hunter treat each other vs other characters AT ALL every time I rewatch this fanfic paced cartoon...

#lunter #on another note... #ppl think Eclipse Lake is a Lumity episode when it's actually a Lunter episode since Luz had to be written out of the episode #so that Hunter wouldn't fold like a lawn chair before delivering the titan blood to Belos #Cuz he could never treat Luz the way he treats Amity Gus and Willow #I honestly love how I can say this with confidence bc HP showcases this as clear as day #that's also the reason why they had to make sure Hunter and Luz didn't interact in ASIAS. Cuz he would have caved #the moment she expressed disappointment in his actions #like are we sure TOH was supposed to subvert romantic expectations... cuz it doesn't look like its doing that

[ID: three digital illustrations based on episodes of the owl house. The first image is based on Understanding Willow and features Amity and Inner Willow. Amity looks at Inner Willow regretfully, holding a hand to her chest, as Inner Willow stands surrounded by pink fire, yelling at Amity with steam coming from her eyes. Lyrics are written crookedly across the background: "I'm not here for your entertainment/your the kinda guy that likes some fun/am I just here for a bit of amusement?/you'll never be my NUMBER 1!!!".

The second image is based off For the Future and features Willow and Hunter. Hunter hugs willow, his face obscured, as she sobs and vines glow green around them both. The lyrics this time are written more neatly in the middle of the image and read "are you bored?/or are you scared?/what happened to secrets we shared?/ Did I say something/? Have I crossed the line?/you know I never meant it/when I said I was FINE!".

The final image is both drawings on one canvas with no lyrics. Each image has a dark blue background. End ID]

Thinks about Willow's repressed emotions and eats glass. Cutely (song is Con Man by The Tuts!)

I think Gus would at some point discover stop motion and, realizing he can rope Amity into this bullshit, direct an entire stop motion film using abominations as the puppets. They can move on their own, so he could churn these things out SO FAST. She’s not super interested in it but she’s seen just how insane Gus’s directing skills are and is like “why not bro let’s go.” As if regular stop motion isn’t creepy enough, now Gus and magic are involved. It’s absolutely horrifying.

Also at this point he’s forgotten the login to the Gus13 account so he just. He just makes Gus14. He’s driving the conspiracy theorists crazy. The comments are filled with people wondering if it’s even the same person or just a copycat, but the general consensus seems to be that that’s definitely his voice. The hardcore fans are looking for connections between the films and have pages and pages of ideas, but like… there’s no connection. It’s just whatever Gus thought would be weird. His process is “wouldn’t it be insane if [thing] happened? I’m going to make [thing] happen for my enjoyment.”

HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED

#this is also so good and funny that i dont even have anything worthwhile to say in response #ive accepted that the show is never gonna give a gus and amity episode #so i will cling to their brief stopmotion career #i could also see gus being like hey amity could you just. make the abomination move a little bit at a time instead of all at once #and shes like. excuse me?? #cuz gus had looked this up and he wants to do this the authentic human way #but even HE got impatient after an hour of slightly moving them and only five seconds of usable footage #so they go right back to using magic #and god i LOVE Gus's completely innocent antics driving conspiracy theorists pure bonkers #he has NO IDEA of the power he holds its so funny #the gus's fucked up movie saga will never stop being funny

luz and amity parallel caleb and evelyn>>>hunter and willow parallel caleb and evelyn not only bc luz, despite looking kind of like phillip, is OVERFLOWING with caleb parallels, but also because the first time hunter met amity he tried to attack her and she ended up kicking his ass. two generations of clawthornes/future clawthorne in-laws beating the shit out of a whiny little meow meow who hates love.

#even though hunter parallels caleb on a surface level he really...doesnt #he looks like him and some of his actions can seem similar to stuff caleb did #but theres the underlying anxiety about how you and those you love would be better off without each other #that if you ignored your problems and responsibilities everything would work out #which really fits luz a lot more again she was the one who willingly got isekaied to another world #hunter is WAY too dedicated to everyone in his life to even THINK about abandoning his responsibilities #like phillip he dedicates his entire life to his loved ones #and when he finds out this wouldnt work out he BREAKS DOWN #hunter doesn't have enough self esteem to lash out at people like phillip did #but remember he went against everything he was taught to study wild magic to heal belos's curse even though belos told him not to #while phillip became one of the witches to kill them in order to get revenge for the witches 'corrupting' his brother #anyway willow is not evelyn amity is evelyn actually #evelyn is a mixture of eda and amity #eda bc she was the clawthorne that lured luz into the demon realm with her bird and showed her magic and whatnot #and amity was the one luz fell in love with #both showed luz the wonder of the boiling isles and represent a future for her in that world #convincing her to view it as home instead of just her wish fulfillment magic world #also amity beat up luz's brother i cant stress enough how much luz's brother was beat up by amity #shut up pandora #toh #the owl house #luz noceda #willow park #hunter toh #hunter noceda #amity blight #caleb wittebane #phillip wittebane #evelyn clawthorne #lumity

went driving again; thought about story again

there are so. so so so many different routes this could take. so many different emotional paths.

i like where the current line of thought is taking it (though We'll See what i end up going with); amity typically spends a lot of time pretending like she doesn't notice ulterior motives, and not calling attention to when she knows someone is lying to her. she just. puts up with it cheerfully.

but with this line of thinking she gets to be... direct. in a way she normally takes great pains not to be.

"hey. i don't like that. you can lie to me about anything else, but not about this. not about how i look. if you're asking this of me, i need to know why -- truly why. i know you aren't dazzled by my beauty and i'm not going to accept that as an answer. what do you really want?"

and astarion doesn't know!!!! he knows jack shit about what he wants!!!! protection, yes, but does he WANT what it takes to get there?? does he WANT the sex?? he doesn't want to be interrogated like this, that's for sure, and he doesn't want to admit that this was a ruse, there's no way that won't backfire -- but what he does want? no clue!!

#amity tag #two people-pleasers -- who have taken on the role for very different reasons but who are nevertheless both quite practiced at it -- clash. #two 'i can be useful to you (let me be useful to you)' urges similarly crash against each other #and i sit and pick at them under my magnifying glass. hehehehehe. fucking fools. #this is why it takes so long to figure this out tho (aside from my time crunch which is very real) #they both put on masks + personas and try to elicit Good reponses the way they know how #and it's just not working and neither of them Know Themselves well enough to figure out what the fuck to do now!!!! #amity is being direct here but she also doesn't know what she wants BEYOND him dropping the compliments #does she want him to stop expressing any interest in her? does it feel okay as long as he's not crowing over her looks? #how does she ACTUALLY feel about this beyond being tired of pretty words?? #she has NO IDEA!!!! this talk is all she can put into words. beyond that she just doesn't know!! #astarion #bg3 blogging

[dice-n-antlers]

Good morning, fellow Bhaalspawn! I have another sibling for you…

Name: Amity

The name Amity of course means ‘friendship’ so, no, that is not what she was called in the Temple. In that moment on the nautiloid, just after clawing her way out of the pod, she desperately tried to remember something, anything about herself that wasn’t drenched in blood. Somewhere high above the clouds of bloodlust, shining like an impartial little star was this name. Amity. She doesn’t remember the source, but this is the name she was given for the brief time she was with a foster family.

Pronouns: She/They

Race: Tiefling. Although I like the idea of them being from half-elven or high elven stock (Fey’ri). Bhaal really was standing in the kitchen over a blender trying to make the perfect murder-child with the versatility of a human, the dexterity and grace of an elf, and the benefits of demonic blood.

Class: Sorcerer.

In-game they are the wild magic subclass, but I headcanon them as being of the divine soul subclass.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

As much as Bhaal tried to form her body into his perfect blade, he couldn’t mold the soul that inhabited the body beyond raising and brainwashing her into the cult. Every cut, every kill, every horrific act was an act of reverence and devotion to her father, but he could sense the softness in her and was disgusted by it. There was a quiet strife building between them long before she awoke on the nautiloid with fresh eyes. Amity desperately sought her father’s affections in the only ways she knew how, but it was all too easy for Bhaal to accept Orin’s betrayal and raise her to the seat of the chosen.

I don’t know what they’re feeding them in the temple of Bhaal, but she’s BIG. However, she typically uses her magic, or charisma, or dexterity to move through the world so she’s not actually very strong. (I wish there was an option for a large body type that was a bit softer, less muscle-bound)

I don't get how anyone can dislike Boscha (and people really do dislike her, a lot of fans are really weird about calling this teenager evil)

She's hillarious, and just look at her!

That's a good character design!

They call her what now?

...no, no, I can buy it. If there's anything I know about fandoms, it's that they can be kind of weird and unnecessarily drastic about how they treat characters. If a character isn’t perfect or explicitly a Good Guy, they’ve gotta be evil. (Of course, not everyone sees things this way, but it feels as though a lot of people do.)

I don't care much for this way of thinking, especially since a lot of my favourite characters are considered weirdly divisive or underappreciated by the fandom as a result of it, so I get you!

Mean-spirited and antagonistic? Sure, Boscha can be that at times. Her #1 role in this episode so far has been to insult Willow for no good reason. And yeah, she’s kind of judgmental, though you’re right that she’s really funny about it. But evil? Absolutely not. She's just a kid like all the others!

Characters doing bad stuff doesn’t automatically make them terrible or irredeemable, and that’s a point I feel about very strongly. Hell, even Willow and Gus, Luz's amazing and supportive BFFs, have proven to be capable of treating others poorly, and they’re the most openly good-natured people we’ve seen aside from Luz. 

Complicated characters are fun, and so are petty troublemakers! If no one ever caused problems on purpose, where would the plot come from, anyway? Random happenstance??  

#wingsy liveblogs #ask #wingsy watches owl house #owls ep 15 #I don't think I mentioned it when liveblogging the scene last night but Boscha looks really cute in that first screencap #I think it's notable that even though Boscha is the most vocal about insulting Willow #the only person whose opinion really seems to matter to Willow is Amity's #it doesn't mean that it's right for Boscha to say the things she does of course #but I really don't think her impact is that huge #except on King I guess but that's because he's just as petty as she is #thanks for the ask! #it takes a lot to make me dislike a character and the only ones I can think of that qualify in this show so far are the creepy cafe ladies #and even they were kind of funny in their own way - they just crossed a line with the horrifying brainwashing stuff

having many thoughts about the TOH finale but the loudest one is how happy i am that amity has her undercut back

#the owl house #toh spoilers #toh finale #ok rant incoming #my biggest pet peeve with amity's s3 design is how her undercut disappeared #not just grown out; disappeared #With her lighter hair color and her roots showing it implies she hasn't been able to re-dye her hair in the human realm #Nor cut it #But the scene where she trips in the library we get a back view of her hair #and not only is it the around the same length as the rest of her hair it is ALSO in the same color #which makes no sense #her undercut wasn't even DYED PURPLE #and also i get why many fanartists forget or just don't draw her undercut they just don't realize it's there or that's their design #but also i am very biased and think that undercuts are THE coolest so it did piss me off a bit #but not only do we get it back the way it's drawn ACTUALLY looks like an undercut????? Chef's kiss #i love how it still remains her natural brown :') kinda like a representation of her (probable) closeness with her dad #Anyway rant over lmao #victor rambles

i think emira should tear into alador

#'you were PROTECTING us? MOM WAS ABUSING US AND YOU WERE TOO BUSY WITH WORK TO EVEN NOTICE!' #i do think the way abusive parents get talked abt in fandom can be irritating cos theres often this sense of like #'if anything short of Straight Up Violent Death occurs to an abusive parent #let alone if they improve and are redeemed thats BASICALLY abuse apologism' #which is obviously silly. if its not cathartic 2 u thats fine but steve.n un.iverse is not shaming u for not forgiving ur abusive grandma #just cos steven did #THAT BEING SAID. i do think alador needs 2 get dragged thru the mud a little more #i keep thinking abt how he probs doesnt even know what the twins look like without their concealment stones!!!! #and i think if amity is the one who thinks she can like talk her parents into being better #little miss 'attempted arson rather than a conversation' is the one whos going 2 just blow up if he tries #AND GOOD FOR HER SHE DESERVES IT #abuse /

tfw ur fav character has a design that just isn't especially fun or easy to draw

#eliot posts #im sorry but amity has like NO identifying features #other than I GUESS purple #none of her facial features stand out that much #and she used to have the recognizable hair poof but now her hair (when not tied back) just looks like a generic haircut #i wrote a while back abt how i wished that amity had her dad's nose both for Symbolism and for representation #tacking on a third reason now: to have at least one strong identifying feature #closest she has is maybe her eyes but even then ehhh #i draw her and she just looks like Generic Girl Number Fifteen #anyway. i am drawing some willuz rn. #willow is the exact type of character that comes easy to me for the most part. lots of round features and whatnot #and the glasses add a point of interest to her face #also for some reason fat people have always been the easiest body type for me to draw??? #odd considering how many art tutorial focus on like. vaguely muscular lean bodies #also odd bc i use myself as a pose/anatomy reference and i have always been a scrawny wet paper bag of a man #luz's face is real fun to draw she's got those distinctive eyes and that mouth and her face shape #tho the way the pose in this piece worked out you barely see her face tho lol #the one thing i hate about drawing luz is her #i have never been all that great about drawing short hair #and then the cartoony style of the show makes it hard to tell where it's parted and whatnot #*her hair

If Hunter is Luz's sibling then why has he been homewrecking Luz's and Amity's relationship since Eclipse Lake?

#lunter #ofc he's not doing it intentionally - well he hasn't been doing it intentionally SINCE Eclipse Lake #but the writers are using him to set-up conflict between Luz and Amity #and they're doing it in a way where Amity can assume Hunter has a thing for Luz... #because he stole the rebus from her knowing she wanted to surprise her girlfriend with it... #so it looks like he wants all the credit for figuring out what the rebus is and for finding the titan blood... #and he doesn't help Amity or their friends figure out that the rebus is a map that leads to Titan blood... #he never shows up to join their fieldtrip around town... the next time she sees him he shows up with Luz... #with some lame ass excuse... #this is homewrecking shit LMAO

Despite Danny's best efforts, no matter how much time past, Amity Park refused to see Phantom as a hero.

Sure, there were pockets of support, particularly among teens, but most of the town blames Phantom for the property damage, saying if he didn't fight the ghosts then it wouldn't be so bad, to that time he got mind controlled by Freakshow and "attacked" the mayor. It wears him down. It wears Tucker and Sam down. Jazz can only try to support them all.

Then one day, a member of the Justice League visits. Someone minor, and kinda a jerk... maybe a Wonder Twin? Zan? Whatever. They don't investigate; they don't look deeper. They listen to the town folks and declare the ghost hunters, Red Huntress and the Fentons, to be the official heroes of the town.

Worse? Danny Phantom is officially considered a villain to the Justice League. Tuck hacks into the Watchtower and confirms that they have a file (a heavily inaccurate file) about how to defeat Phantom.

Danny doesn't think he can do this anymore.

A few weeks later, a young villain escapes into Amity and demands (begs) that Danny help them escape from the hero after them. No idea who, I can't find a lot of info on teen villains in DC, so let's fudge some ages and make it Kyd Wyckyd from the Teen Titans cartoon. Danny agrees, because to hell with the Justice Losers, and they defeat the hero, becoming friends in the process. Kyd confesses that they became a villain after being ostracized bc of how they look, and they've been trying to avoid villain organizations because HIVE was abusive, but it's really hard to be a villain alone bc of all the heroes.

Sam gets an idea. Tucker agrees with the idea. Jazz is just happy they'll end up making friends.

The next day, the Teen Villain Alliance is formed, ready to assist with any teenage illegal shenanigans their allies might get into.

Some notes:

It's created to be a healthier option for teen "villains" to connect with others and support each other.

It's more important that this is for Teens rather than Villains. They're tired of adult villains taking advantage of them. The TVA would rather ally with a teen vigilante than with an adult villain.

Again, no idea who the teen villains are, but Klarion is definitely here. He leaves the Light for the chaos of the TVA. Maybe Ember is there too?

Timeline wise, this is around when Tim is still Robin, but Damien has arrived at Wayne Manor.

This is because, when it comes time to try to infiltrate the TVA, they'll have a convenient child-assassin who has none of the monitors of a teen hero that Phantom immediately picks up on.

Damien, who at this point has been abandoned by his mother, dismissed and scolded by his father, and has had no success at carving his own place in the family, jumps at the chance. He is then surrounded by peers who don't insult him or try to change his behavior (too much; jazz is trying to help him find healthier methods of expressing himself). He... might not want to continue being a spy.

Danny, Sam, Tuck, and Jazz are the founding members.

Danny reinvents himself as the High Prince of the Infinite, Prince Phantom Dark. He got kingship from fighting Pariah Dark, but since he's still alive, he's only a prince. He steals the last name Dark as an intimidation tatic against those in the know; only Danny would have the balls to claim family with Pariah.

Sam works as a powerless villain, but she might no be powerless? Either way, Danny gives her a bunch of repurposed Fenton tech, and she buys the rest with her parents credit card. She does NOT care if that's traced back to the Mansons. She would choose something goth, maybe something spider related or even bat?

I love Pharaoh Tucker, so I think he should get magic powers? Since pharaohs of old were considered the balance between the real and the divine. He's still a tech guy, now he's a tech and magic guy.

Jazz isn't really a villain, more of a team mom who's planning on using everyone's psyche's as her thesis paper. You know what, that's her callsign, she's Psyche. Sometimes she flirts with Nightwing.
