#toh locked out

[the-lone-witch-and-secret-room]

As I’m getting back into Locked Out, anyone wanna share some theories on what’s gonna happen in the fic?

[thedailybullshit]

“Hunter’s new design is boring” yeah. That’s. The point.

The generic haircut, the bland sweater. It’s all a baseline for Hunter to set his physical characteristics so that he can figure out who HE is from there.

“But the hair noodle is so distinct to Hunter-” no it isn’t, & it never has been. It’s distinct to CALEB, & that has always been the point. Hunter never wore his hair like that bc HE liked it, he wore it that way bc it reminded Philip of Caleb.

Hunter was never supposed to be Hunter, he was supposed to be a “better version” (BELOS’S OWN WORDS) of Caleb. Hunter’s hair noodle was never a characteristic of his own.

This boy has no part of him that’s his own. He wears Caleb’s face. His body contains Caleb’s bones. His eyes come from being a grimwalker. Entire parts of his personality are built up from trying to please Philip, & the rest of his personality he can’t be sure isn’t left over from Caleb.

Hunter doesn’t know who Hunter is. So he’s trying to figure that out by building from the ground up. There’s only so much he can do about his physical appearance, & fortunately his hair is something under his control. So he gives himself that basic haircut so he can figure it out from there. His hair was never specific to him, so now he can make it that way.

Idk. I don’t see how anyone can be genuinely upset about this w/out severely missing the point.

#in conclusion: I like Hunter’s new hair & I’m happy for him bc clearly he can’t be happy for himself #the owl house #toh #hunter toh #caleb wittebane #philip whittebane #emperor belos #the owl house season three #also not to mention he’s gonna find out that Caleb was a witch hunter & compare that to how much of a menace he used to be to the BI #& while Caleb didn’t end his life that way it certainly makes sense why Hunter wouldn’t want to look at himself & see that #500 #this fandom has no chill bc it’s been less than a full 24 hours & there are 500 notes on a post about a lock of hair #I’m also guilty of having no chill about this show but Jesus Christ y’all #1k

(Read left to right)

Obviously i had to do a continuation 🥺 Based on There's Sunshine in Your Smile by @lollytea !!

It's my personal hc that depending on the situation, under strong emotions Willow will accidently sprout plants depending on what she feels (This is how she gave him the tulip 💁‍♀️)!!!

3, 9, and 22 from this ask game

Of course! Thank you for participating! Here, have a piece of writing...

3) That encompasses my style (@acacia-may)

Hmm... My style's developed a lot over the years, and while I haven't had much time to write lately, I do think this little bit of Clamour from a couple months ago works pretty well! It's got the signature Lilac Anaphora, lots of flowery language, an abundance of commas and a little hint of enjambment as a metaphor for mental decline. (Sorry Acacia, I know you aren't in the fandom!! If you like, you can always submit another ask- 3 is just one that I struggled to think of something for :'])

His spiral down into insanity was not a quick process, nor was it without turmoil. It had been torturous, losing himself to the whispers inside of his brain, every thought overcome by that intoxicating need for more. His heart thrummed in his ears with each movement he made, fingers itching with the need to puppeteer once more, his head full of a throbbing, pulsating, incessant craving for control. Hiding it had been easy enough. His friends were long-since accustomed to his eccentricities, so when he began acting a little more oddly than usual, no-one batted an eye. He kept his lips sewn firmly shut and a toothy smile across his face, the chanting in his head growing louder and louder and louder with every lie he told. Maybe if he’d have been a little stronger, he’d have been able to overcome it. Maybe he would have told his friends. Maybe he would have been good enough to give up the power slowly killing him from the inside. Letting go was as inevitable as it was involuntary, in the end. As the floodgates burst, a rush of distorted euphoria like nothing before had sunk deep into his soul, a growing hunger beginning to fester within him. It grew and grew, and he took and took, and his friends fell with him as he watched , and he laughed and cackled because wasn’t it so ironic that anything heavenly or good be quashed in a place that couldn’t possibly hope to fathom it, and eventually, he had stopped caring about anything at all. The other Fallen Heroes mean nothing to him. His friends had died with him all those decades ago, only crude facsimiles of their former selves remaining. So here he is, the only performer left on a dusty set of cobwebs, and that hunger inside of him never stops. Something akin to loneliness aches alongside it, the lingering results of his isolation digging in deep and refusing to grant him even a moment of solace.

9) With characters I love

For this one, I think I'm going to have to go with an extract from Take A Bow- I'm hyperfixating hard on CRK at the moment lol. This was my first time writing both Pure Vanilla & Shadow Milk, and it was a lot of fun imagining how the story might progress before Theatre of Lies was released!!

Just as quickly as the darkness had arrived, a face shot out of the tree like a jack-in-the-box, sharp white teeth glinting down at them in a twisted, elated grin. A warped, reversed version of Pure Vanilla’s own symbol gleamed in the newfound turquoise light, his breath catching in his throat as he remembered all that Elder Faerie had told them. This must be the Beast who had originally possessed Pure Vanilla’s soul jam. The blonde found his hand subconsciously drifting to the crest on his own chest, gaze darting rapidly over every aspect of the uncaged monster’s face. “Ah!” A long, high exclamation pierced through the quiet, just as delighted as its voice’s owner. “Doesn’t this fresh air just feel… Divine?!” The last word ended in a growl, something manic heightening even further as the creature lazily surveyed its surroundings. Its unwavering stare passed over each of them in turn, finally settling on Pure Vanilla. Something in its glare sharpened, distorted cerulean light dancing along iridescent pools of insanity. “Oh, I see I have quite an audience here,” it remarked, its jauntiness seeming far too out of place amidst their own fearful grimaces. “I am so terribly sorry to have kept you waiting.” The voice fluctuated between shrill shrieks and inhuman snarls, every word laced with venomous glee. Its head alone was larger than all of them combined, and Pure Vanilla was loath to imagine how excessive the casualties would be if they were to instigate another fight. “But now… The wait is over. Your favourite trickster is here,” it lowered its head in a flamboyant half-bow. Its value had become Deceit, Pure Vanilla recalled. Undeniable intelligence shone among clear madness, for this was a being born of knowledge and corrupted into lies. It was– “Shadow Milk Cookie.”

22) That is so blissfully self-indulgent

Here, have a snippet of an Owl House AU I came up with on a whim one night in which I threw Caleb Wittebane into the future and leapt over plot holes like they were hurdles on an obstacle course >:]

Caleb was going to die. There was a dagger in his brother’s hand, glinting with the dark promise of blood to be spilt and aimed directly at him, merciless and unwavering in its pursuit. Caleb’s breath caught in his chest as he stumbled backwards, heartbeat pounding in his ears with a new sort of rapidity. It used to be such a thrilling feeling: the quick yet predictable pounding against his ribs, excitement making his lips quirk or anticipation leaving them agape. It was the adrenaline that used to come with a hunt, the dread and uncertainty and wonder that brewed within him as he stepped through that portal, the butterflies fluttering in his stomach that only Evelyn could incur. Now, his heart threw itself desperately against the confines of its prison, nausea rising within Caleb’s throat and poison in his mind because he was about to die, to be killed at the hands of the person he loved more than anything. The person he had loved more than anything. The person he’d given up everything for. The person he’d raised since childhood. Ever since Caleb was young, Philip had been his biggest priority. Their parents passed when they were both young, Philip so much so that he could scarcely remember them. It fell to Caleb to raise his brother, working odd jobs so they could afford accommodations as they passed from town to town. In a world where no-one could be trusted and not a soul was on their side, it had been Caleb’s responsibility to keep his little sibling safe. To keep him alive, protected. To keep him well. Looking at the pure resentment in Philip’s glare, Caleb wondered how it had all gone so wrong. He knew, really, exactly the reason behind his brother’s murderous intent; it simply seemed impossible to associate his hopeful, smiling, playful Philip with the spite-fuelled monster before him. His head swam with memories long since tainted by acidic regret. There were so, so many ways he could have prevented this situation, eradicated even the possibility of Philip wishing harm upon him. So many things he could have done. So many things he didn’t do, and here he was now, paying the price. Caleb’s days were numbered, he’d always known that. His fate was sealed as soon as he first took Evelyn’s hand.

Thanks again for the asks! <3

Why doesn't Astrofil stop Belos from destroying the Isles?

It's been mentioned a few times on this blog that Astrophel wrongfully imprisioned and isolated from any potential sources of moral guidance, and been left to stew in his anger for a very long time.

These two have a lot of overlapping trauma and they both blame the Isles as the source of that trauma. This does not justify their actions and they are not in the right for behaving this way, and figuring this out is a major part of Astrophel's character arc late in the au. If the circumstances were even slightly different, it would not be this way. As it is, Philip relies on Astrophel for moral guidance and Astrophel is acting on his emotions rather than any sense of morality.

So, since that's been covered, I'm assuming you're referring to the bit Dollie said about Astrophel later being forgiven (but calling them out) for his part in the DoU and what occurs after Belos returns to the Demon Realm and tries. Why doesn't Astrophel try to stop him?

Well, who says he doesn't? You aren't the one writing this AU, you don't know what Dollie and I have planned for the end. Wait and see what happens.

#shadow puppets au #toh collector #lore post #I guess #Didn't really cover anything that should be new information tho #Hey Dollie here also wanting to remind everyone that the Archivists regularly eradicated entire planets for resisting them #wanting to wipe out the Boiling Isles because he was hurt is normal to the Collector even if he didn't initially agree with it #The baby Titan's were his friends but the last Titan is the one that locked him up they can't just kill him he's already dead #but they can take their pain out on the people who live on his remains #Doesn't justify it at all but that's the way both of them think and neither of them has the emotional capacity to think otherwise

#really genuinely disheartened by the news about the latest toh ep leaking weeks before it was supposed to premiere #because like i would never watch an episode early when it's not what the creators want. that's a terrible thing to do #but it seems like a lot of other people just do not care #and so instead i have to just sort of. lock myself out of the fandom for a while #which given how few things i have to get excited about these days.... eurgh #i was really excited about the timing of this one; it's right after tlovm comes back and right around the time the semester starts #and i'm sure it'll be fun to watch when it actually comes out but #not the same as the whole fandom being hyped about it #which for the penultimate episode of a show that was cancelled early? sucks #and i hate how many people seem to not care or think it's okay to watch the leaked episode just because other people are doing it #like i don't hang out in fandom tags fortunately (for many good reasons) #but going 'well. guess i have to avoid ao3 or checking out new followers' blogs' and things like that is :/ #even the little fanwork discord server i'm in that i usually feel like is a nice space has folks that just... don't seem to care #and i like that space a lot but i'm considering muting it which makes me sad #i just don't get how people could be so disrespectful to the folks creating stories they love. that's awful #idk. guess i'm glad i have other fiction to care about right now #anyways! that's me done being sad about something relatively silly! #but :/

[pandoratheprocrasticreator]

If luz really did stay behind in the demon realm in kings tide then i wonder if she would have escaped from being turned into a puppet like everyone else. Probably not bc the collector would still have king and she wouldnt leave king behind.

Or maybe the collector would have straight up killed her. They definitely want to by the end of this episode anyway.

#for the future #the owl house #toh #shut up pandora #luz noceda #king clawthorne #the collector #either that or next episode the collector is going to banish luz to the shadow realm #bc only they get to play with king his bestie #they need to learn that sometimes ppl you love will love other ppl and getting rid of the competition wont make them love you more #something belos never leanred #or maybe the collector would have locked luz away with eda and lilith bc king asked #but the collector would certainly view luz as a much bigger threat than lilith and eda bc shes kings bestie #maybe he would have locked her up with the owl family first but then turned her into a puppet after a while bc he felt threatened #king wouldnt be happy ofc but idk if the collector would reverse the spell or just try to unsuccessfully distract king #maybe they would have spied on the owl family a lot earlier than they did to keep an eye on lu #so they would have found out eda was no longer the owl beast a lot earlier #oh and if king was pissed at the collector for trying to get rid of luz #and if they decided to get rid of her not by making her a puppet bc king could still visit her #but got rid of her by killing her instead... #not something for a disney show thats for sure

Hunter investigating the Luz grimwalker, finding out about grimwalkers altogether, and then stumbling upon Luz’s skeleton (used for the grimwalkers)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

#him holding out desperate hope that maybe belos just locked her away somewhere as a punishment and shes fine just missing a finger :( #he'd give up tbh. he'd just lie down with her and wait to either die of natural causes or for belos to find him #replies #toh #princess luz au #GOOD THING THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AND NEVER WOULD!!!!

[bmblboop]

So are we just gonna ignore the fact that there are “or at least where” apparently other collectors? Maybe one of them turned the owl beast into a scroll!? Is little collector gonna attract the attention Timon of his fuckon cosmic star child parents!?

And if they’re being from the heavens beyond, does that make the Titan creatures of the earth that rose up to nearly rival them in power?

I have no many thoughts about that bedtime story!

I haven’t the slightest idea where to begin with the other Collectors. In all the murals, they are significantly bigger than our Collector, and much more apathetic toward the creatures and worlds they collect. (Not that this kid is winning any prizes in that category, but at least he recognizes that he’d rather befriend the inhabitants than scorch the world.)

I was surprised at first when lil’ Collector had a different voice than the one we heard in Knocking on Hooty’s Door - but now I think that was intentional. That Collector probably wasn’t the same Collector. They even say ‘you look fun’ to the Owl Beast - implying they don’t recognize it or remember turning it into a cursed scroll.

Something makes me think that the other collectors are out of reach or gone for good because our lil’ Collector laments being all alone. Did those bigger Collectors leave them behind to collect this world on his own while they torment other galaxies? Or did they all perish in a battle between the Titan Trappers and Titans?

There are so many thoughts, and so many unanswered questions!

#ask bmblboop #toh spoilers #toh s3 spoilers #toh collector #toh speculation #titan magic counters collector magic so I wonder if Kings dad ended the war and locked away the last collector #but not out of punishment -but because he felt so bad for dooming this child to an existance devoid of his species - just like his own son #Alternately #if lil' collector calls on parental collectors to help him fight off our heroes - will king be strong enough to chase them off?

hate it when you start a new piece of media fully intending to be normal about it and then One Specific Character makes you go insane

#this is actually how i normally get into new stuff. and i’m surprised every time. #i fucking hate it #like i can get into lore and themes later. the first few weeks are me shaking a blorbo in a pringles can #like i was going to be normal about toh. unfortunately eda exists. #doctor who? i binged s10 over a couple of days during lockdown and lost my mind over bill #good omens? crowley. tma? martin. the locked tomb? two for one deal this time i got obsessed with gideon and harrow #i’ve been ill the past few days and decided to see if steven universe was actually as bad as everyone makes it out to be #i am now fighting for my fucking life trying not to be obsessed with pearl and i’m LOSING. this is truly my lowest point #sigh. anyway

[i-used-to-wear-the-fedora]

Have you seen TOH’s new episode (hollow mind)? Bc if not, basically it’s: fuck Bellos even more.

I have just! And yes. Belos is a bastard but this episode? He's straight up unforgivable. Although I gotta say: I really wanna see the other alternate guards faces since they apparently all look different. And I don't know if you guys are aware of the game Lily's Well but imagine how messed up it would be if Hunter actually had the memories of the others.

#hunter deserves a better home #belos desrves to get the shit locked out of him #toh spoilers #the owl house #toh hunter #lily's well #listen #if you know this game #imagine the situation and how f*cked up out would be of hunter started getting those memories back #he's literally a kid #headcanon

Also I know I’ve not been very active here lately, mainly because life has been stressful, which it still is, but I’d like to come back here at least somewhat more frequently.

Also, for those of you wondering: I’m still going to finish Locked Out! I’ve been busy lately (and got sucked into a different fandom for a bit there lmao) but I’ve done the editing of the earlier LO-chapters that’d been keeping me from being able to write on in peace and am planning to get back to it very soon! I’ll keep you guys updated and maybe also post a chapter sneak peek sometime in the near future ;)

Thinking about Hunter doing his fucked-up little OCD compulsions when he thinks no one’s watching and Willow and Gus witnessing him spiral into insanity on their way to grab a glass of water or something

#the owl house #toh #headcanon #ocd #tw blood #actually ocd #this is so self-indulgent please forgive me kdhdiskfj #hunter: *scrubbing his hands in the sink at 3 am until his hands bleed to ensure all the Belos goop is out #willow: uh heyyyy hunter. whatcha…doing…? #hunter: oh um. I went to the bathroom. so I’m. washing my hands #willow: okay…I think you’re good? do you want to come back to bed now…? #hunter: uh. ummm. sure. yeah it’s fine. I will do that. I just have to make sure the door is locked and I’ll be right there! #hunter: *gets stuck locking and unlocking the door 20 times* #willow and gus: *mutual panicked ‘what the hell is wrong with him’ concerned glances

I think it would be fun if there was like a ton of codes each episode for the s3 specials and we had to unscramble them and get them in an order that made sense. It would just be neat to have a really complex code at the end

#if Toh ends with an arg it will take over #my life btw #ryders rambles #for the titles we have #a witch loses a true way #seek the key fear the lock #s3 would be #possible 3 letters unless they find away to make it more complex #maybe the first and last letter of every episode #so then it would be 6 #which is a lot more to work with #or maybe the first capital letter of each word #so like if an episode was called #Letting Out #then it would be #LO #and then if the next would be called #Very Extraordinary And Never Deadly #it would be VE AND #Luz Of Souls Sights #LOSS #ya get my drift #I’m straight up making up titles for this example #making up episode titles my beloved #so the final code wouldve have been #lvl with the old decoding system #but Love and Loss with the modfyid one #idk maybe I’m crazy #this is literally just me making up codes for fun
