The Owl House Told By Someone Who’s Never Seen It

This is a show on Disney. It has animation similar to Gravity Falls and is pretty fun.

We follow Luz, (which is a nickname I’ll guess) a human girl who stumbles into a magical realm and can’t return home. The realm is the Enchanted Isles or something and Elves live there.

The first person she meets is that cool gray lady with two different colored eyes, who lives in the namesake Owl House.

The Gray Lady as she will henceforth be called is a mentor at the magic school, and is pretty amazed at this human kid showing up here. She pulls some strings and babadeeboo, Luz is enrolled in the e school and learning magic.

From here Luz meets a cast of characters who I will speculate on later, including Amity, the green haired love interest, Amity’s older twin siblings, Amity’s best friend, a prankster boy Elf, pink-eyed Elf who has a mental breakdown probably because he was groomed by his mentor who is EVIL, and the Gray Lady’s sister.

Luz has to wait to go home because she hasn’t learned all the Magics yet or the teachers need to create a way home, or maybe there’s a magic relic that needs to be found. In any case, she can’t get home just yet.

(Or maybe Luz can get home. Maybe Amity has a magic key that lets them go back and forth between human and Elf Isles and she needs to protect it with her life, though she doesn’t yet know the power the key holds.)

Back home Luz was a troublemaker. Her mom loves her but Luz set loose a sack of snakes in her school for who knows what reason and it was recommended she get sent to a camp for kids with behavioral issues.

The Owl House is pretty neato, there’s a weird talking owl door knocker who has a long neck and will follow you around and pester you if you ignore her, and while she’s sweet I get the feeling she’s like a little kid, the kind that screams to get your attention. There’s also this adorable little demon baby with a dog body and a skull head. His voice is deep and I would die for him, call him Bone. A bit of an agent of chaos but I’m gonna let it slide because he’s Baby.

The Gray Lady is cool as hell. This can already be understood by the fact that she got Luz into magic school, but moving on. GL is probably like a chill aunt, she definitely bones, we know this from Vibes alone, and she is pan!

The Gray Lady was also cursed by her sister way back in the day to turn into this flying beast sometimes. She’s had it under control for a while but sometimes it flares up. She was cursed because her sister was jealous of GL’s ability, and they had a falling out. Sad, because they were once close friends as well as rivals.

There is a part of reconciliation, and the curse upon GL is removed. It doesn’t turn her fully back to herself but she can now control the curse and can turn into a flying beast whenever she wants which is sick as hell.

What’s Luz learning in school? Idk but she seems pretty likable. She’s a sweet kid, has lots of friends, learns to summon magic with a staff and playing cards, and usually wears like a gray smock and a jester outfit underneath.

Also, Luz has ADHD.

Amity is a prep and has an undercut, and she starts out the series flipping out because wHAT there’s a HUMAN, HERE? She has trouble breaking the rules, unless it’s to confirm her suspicions, and is generally uptight, but she warms up to Luz, probably after a series of Wacky Hijinks, and reveals herself to be a huge dork who’s just trying to be the best she can be.

Amity and Luz hang out all the time, they’re friends and both have a crush on the other, Amity more visibly than Luz.

There’s an episode about Grom, which is prom but for kids at magic school. Amity has someone she wants to ask to the dance and it’s played as a mystery who it’s gonna be. She keeps getting interrupted before she can deliver her note, and the night of a monster attacks! Luckily Luz is there, and teaming up the girls kick butt in an epic fight sequence. They dance together and it is revealed: Amity wanted to ask Luz to Grom.

I’m gonna guess this episode had an ending bit that went kinda like ‘sorry you didn’t get to ever ask that person to dance.’ ‘Huh, what? No, it’s all okay. I’m just happy to be here with you.’

Eventually Amity (who’s gay) and Luz (who’s bi) end up together. This is the point where Amity’s hair turns from green to purple. Something something metaphor about thinking you’re aro to realizing you’re ace.

Amity very much is a doting girlfriend, who enjoys announcing that at she is Luz’s girlfriend. This is endearing.

Other characters? Amity’s best friend, a boy who likes pranks, the human world and their culture, and has had to endure her flustered crush for an entire season and a half. He probably has some episode where he pulls some strings to get Amity and Luz partnered together for a project.

Amity’s siblings. They’re twins, a boy and girl, green hair, very attractive. Probably the pride and joy of the family and they create a lot for Amity to live up to. They’re good siblings to have though, even if they tease her about her crush.

Ohohoho the kid who has a breakdown! See, as Amity and Luz are in school and crushing and learning magic, this boy has been groomed by his evil mentor/dad to follow his every order and act as a fetch-quester, that is, get all the dangerous stuff while the mentor keeps up appearances. The kid could probably also function as a fall guy but let’s focus.

The mentor wants to break through to the human world, but he needs Titan Blood to do it. Amity has some (unknowingly) in her family-heirloom necklace-key that lets her get through.

The kid has failed so many times to get Blood from anywhere that he’s on the edge. He’s not doing well, is desperate and will do anything to succeed, and if he can’t he might as well lay down in the grave he just dug up. Which is sad, because he’s so far gone that he can’t see how poorly he’s been treated, or that his actions aren’t rational.

Cue a showdown between him and Amity, who knows she needs to stop him and save him from all this. She does stop him, and they take him back to the school. His blind loyalty has kept him from talking, but they’re gonna tell him something that makes him crack.

He’s. Not. Real. He isn’t his father’s son, he’s a creature called a Grimwalker, something conjured magically that takes the form of whatever it needs to - in this case an Elf. You can know them by a few things, one being their pink eyes.

Pink eyes are a bit uncommon, but that with all the other signs, and this kid is one. Now we know why his father/mentor never loved him. This kid was only ever a tool, a means to an end. And with that, the kid turns and switches sides.

That’s how far the show has gotten ig.
