#HUNTLOW CANON don't talk to me now | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Note

i don't know what it is about Hunter's "Cool. Happy to help." that makes me go crazy but it does. it being such a simple and kinda dorky response to Willow's shy but sincere thank you and "You mean a lot to me too." (which also makes me crazy), Zeno's delivery making it have like seven different layers of emotion because he can't help himself apparently, the fact it plays over them holding pinkies and bumping hands, the fact we know he's on the verge of tears while saying it. i am UNWELL

CAN I TALK ABOUT IT??

It is heavily implied that this little moment, while ambiguous, is intended to be a massive shift in their relationship. Like it's veered from them being platonic while nursing mutual crushes into something with deliberate romantic intent from both sides. I don't think they would be comfortable saying they're dating just yet but....they're not not dating, y'know? Like something has undeniably changed in a very permanent way. It's certainly new to them but they're both aware of it. They're both aware that this is something beyond friendship right now.

(I been saying this since the episode leaked, when I only had the scene itself to go off. But considering the crew is finally allowed to share their huntlow art, Zeno is allowed to open his mouth and Dana rted art of them captioned "they're canon now <3" that's as good a confirmation as any. If I remember right, Dana was also pretty tight lipped about explicitly romantic lumity, but was free to post about it after Hooty's Door aired. Yknow. When they officially became an item.)

That scene is literally the two of them establishing this relationship development between each other. The dialogue is kinda vague but bleedingly sincere though the interaction is also aided by nonverbal signals. So like. No wonder Hunter sounds Like That. We are watching him get a girlfriend before our very eyes.

Now I KNOW "You mean a lot to me too." is supposed to be romantic because why else would Hunter be so overwhelmed that he tears up? There is no way in Hell Willow Park never expressed her platonic appreciation for Hunter before. That's her FRIEND!! She wouldn't just not tell him that she cares about him. So this....this is different. She's saying something completely different here and Hunter picks up on it. He may have been a little unsure if he was overthinking it, but it seems like the linked fingers really cement the reality for him. Willow is saying she has feelings for him.

I would give anything, ANYTHING, for Zeno or Dana or Eden or SOMEBODY to explain what the exact voice direction was for "Cool. Happy to help." was because I'm obsessed with it. It's like!!!!! Holy fuck!!!!! He's trying to mentally catch up with what's happening here but his brain hardly works and he's all emotionally mushed up. He's giddy, he's breathless, his stupid little galdorstone is trying to punch a hole through his chest. He wants to burst out laughing because of how absurd this all is. He wants to break down into hysterical tears. He's pretty sure he's gonna explode. Also she's TOUCHING him. Very subtly but he's crippingly aware of it. The feeble body heat seeping from her little finger seems like enough to spread through his whole body. It's burning his face, his ears, the back of his neck.

You can feel Hunter trying to hold himself together with every syllable. The fact that he's like "Cool..." after Willow tells him she loves him like???? ASGDBFJNK. Man would get smooched and be like "Alright. Thanks." Because he wouldn't know what else to say. Like he's clearly trying to play it casual. Like this is all no big deal. Because this is Willow and he wants to be cool. But the way his voice cracks, like he'd probably squeak if he wasn't working so hard to control his tone, the noticeable shakiness, it's all so possessed by an explosive burst of nervous excitement.

It really reminds me of when Luz asked out Amity, she was like "Yes!!" And Luz just awkwardly responded with "Okay..." smiling stupidly, with an obvious vocal tremble because she was ecstatic and terrified at the same time.

"Happy to help," is a lot softer and less uneven, but he's still obviously losing his mind. That's when he bumps his own hand against Willow's. If I'm being honest, I think his mouth went on autopilot by this stage. It just seems like the kind of thing you say when you're completely fucking blanking. He is 99% focused on the fact that they are kinda holding hands right now and trying to gather his bearings, he'll just fucking say whatever.

But MAN. Its so funny. It's so good. Willow expressing her feelings to Hunter and him vocally responding in the lamest way possible, while sending a far more romantic signal with body language. It's SO them.

Round 2, bracket A, poll 6

Propaganda for Huntlow: "Hunter is canon bisexual and Willow is canon pansexual as stated by the show's creator Dana Terrace after the show's finale!"

"Bi 4 Pan represent!"

Propaganda for the Leverage trio: "Parker/Hardison is canon since S4/5, Elliot fell for them later. OT3 confirmed via word of God. Eliot is the one most suited for literal battle but the other two can kick ass when required and the three of them battle capitalism via crime 24/7."

"the time Parker asked Eliot what the worst thing he ever did was and he said "Don't ask me that Parker. Because if you ask me… I'll tell you. so please don't ask me"

the time Parker begged Eliot to help her return a body to a widow because she desperately needed to be a good person and he talked her down because he knows she's good in her own way

The desperation Eliot and Parker felt when Hardison was buried alive

Hardison buying a brew pub for Eliot

Hardison waiting patiently for Parker to be ready for a relationship because she has issues with people and feelings so he let it be a slow burn

Parker taking a bomb away from Hardison so he wouldn't get hit if she couldn't neutralize it

finale spoilers: the time they all died holding hands (they're fine now)"

Beta Huntlow

Headcanons ²

*equivalent to the first season, each one from one side of the story (golden guard YAY x chaotic criminal rebel YAY) that occasionally meets

Both too stubborn to give in in an argument or ideal, they'll never admit that they have ANYTHING in common

But curreeently they have a lot of similar things: musical taste, culinary taste, literary taste, basically the same person ☠️ which is pretty weird since Willow was under the culture of the human realm and Hunter was under the demon realm's most of his life, but it's like both Luz and Amity knowing Azura's book

Except for the styles, he's the little prince totally dolled up who spends hours polishing his armor and have clothes selected by other people of course, she's emo and wears the first thing she sees in the closet. Willow's comfortable with herself and Hunter is desperately trying to cover up his messy interior

Hunter as a golden guard here doesn't wear a mask, he's the FACE of the emperor's coven, so Willow can come to an agreement with herself that he's pretty, Hunter can also agree, he also thinks himself is pretty (ok ok let's hypothetically say he has a crush on people with glasses named Willow, just a coincidence

The two doubt each other's intelligence a lot and end up acting like fools falling into the traps of their own ego, they're better in this regard when they rarely and unwillingly work together, two heads think better than just one in the end

The evolution of cute names: "Mistress Park" and "Whatever-his-name" -> "Dear Wilsy/Sweet Low" and "Golden guy" -> "Will" and "Hunt"

Willow knows his weaknesses, she uses the most cowardly of all against him............ compare him to a D O G. blindly loyal and following an owner who offers treats or approval pats if he does a few tricks. GOLDEN RETRIEVER!!!!! did u guys know that she gave him a cute dog collar as a gift? I think it's so rude that he never used it (I like to say as if everything is canonical 'cause in my mind it is). she calls him whistling and he goes to her with droopy ears only to say he's NOT a dog and then he leaves again, with a dramatic movement of his cape

Hunter's secret identity (WHO IS ThE MOST REBEL NOW, WITCHES!!!!!) flirts shamelessly with Willow, she knows it's him. why he's so dumb. his mask (NOW he uses) didn't disguise voice. "Caleb Jasper Bloodwilliams" here was his escape from the coven stuff, just being free and without responsibilities for a few hours, but it ended up becoming a little too "against the coven" when he discovered some things

"you can let me pay, it's just a kindness between old friends, don't worry" Hunter said and in the next day, while he was receiving a very direct death threat "YOU OWE ME ONE, I BOUGHT YOU COFFEE AND YOU THANK ME LIKE THAT??". a little emotional manipulation on both sides, how romantic 🥰

introverts who communicate telepathically with nods of the head. while everyone was in Grom they were outside just stopping arguing for a moment and enjoying each other's company 🥺:

"even if it's not the beeest thing in the world, it's what we have for today apparently..."

"who said it's not the best thing in the world for me? I'm having fun, currently. you're not that bad"

"wha- but I like that too! I don't mean- I just thought you wouldn't- don't laugh at me, that's shameful now..."

"first time with a girl?"

"I TALK WITH GIRLS ALL THE TIME, OKAY????

"poor them"

The Owl House Is A Bit of A Mixed Bag When It Comes To Ships

The Owl House is a show that I love a lot, but when it comes to relationships I have some mixed feelings. Now, I don't hate ships in TOH but I do have some issues with them.

The Good

First let's start of with the good; one of the things I like about how TOH handles its ships is how they don't overtake the plot or anything, which is a pretty easy trap that any show with romance can fall into (looking at you Star vs). There's also no bullshit romance drama in the show (the closest thing we get to that is Luz not opening up in S2 EP11 and EP14 but that was about it and its also executed in a way that's not absolutely insufferable).

Lumity is also the show's best relationship; it's gradually built up over the course of season 1 and the first half of season 2 and they are legitimately pretty cute together. Ships like Veesha and Aladraius are also pretty neat. So now let's get into...

The Problems

NOTE: Any issues I have with TOH's ships are most likely due to the shortening, so take my critiques with a grain of salt. Also there will be some criticism levidied towards Huntlow and Reada, if you don't like that don't read the rest of this post.

I think my issues with TOH's ships have to come with the ship's themselves, mainly Raeda and Huntlow. Lumity is good as I already said but the other two have a few issues. First I'ma talk about Huntlow; I don't hate Huntlow as a ship, It's OK, I just think it could have been done a bit better.

The ship mainly suffers from being less developed than Lumity, as Willow and Hunter don't really have that much-developed chemistry with each other. There is one interesting thing about the ship though, that being how they are both young witchlings that were shunned for not being born strong and called a "half-a-witch". That is an interesting parallel, but I don't really think the show develops they're relationship beyond that. The ship is just kinda underdeveloped which is my main problem with it, they're relationship just isn't that fleshed out to me, and as a result, it feels a little bit rushed.

I WILL say though, the moment they had in FTF is cute, it's neat harmless little fan service that doesn't take away from the plot or characters, which is nice.

But overall Huntlow isn't terrible but I have my fair share of issues with it. I honestly feel like this ship has more developed chemistry in fan works than in canon. Like, seriously, Willow and Hunter are incredibly cute together in a lot of Huntlow fan works more than in the actual show.

Anyways, now let's get into...Raeda. I've already talked about this ship before and why I personally don't care for it so I won't go too in depth here, but Raeda to me just suffers from how Raine, as a character, is heavily defined by Eda, and they don't have much depth outside of that. If Raine as a character had more independence from Eda I would have liked this ship a lot more, but they don't.

Again, my issues of Huntlow and Raeda are purely there because of the shortening. If the show wasn't shortened than Huntlow would've definitely been more developed, and Raine would have been a better character with more actual development beyond "Eda's ex".

Conclusion

So ya, that's my thoughts on TOH ships. The shipping in the show isn't bad but I think it could've been better, though again, it's worth mentioning the show got shortened so these problems aren't necessarily its fault, buuuuuut my points still stand. So....bye.

#toh critical #toh criticism #toh #the owl house #toh analysis #not tagging this anti huntlow because I really don't hate the ship #I just think it's ok #anti raeda #also you are perfectly allowed to ship whatever you want #I'm just experssing my opinions on TOH's ships

I hate how people who don't ship Huntlow make it like this extremely stupid and unnecessary ship that makes zero sense and everything about it is terrible and it's forced and bland and overall a shitty ship

And today lady's and gentlemen, non binary folks in the back, is the day I prove them all wrong >:3!!!

A brief disclaimer, I am not nor do I consider myself a toxic shipper, I am just simply stating why the reasons don't make any sense in my eyes, so please don't come at me for my opinion

And with that let's get to the reasons!

Terrible first impression

Hunter got a crush on her too quickly

It's forced and rushed

No chemistry

Willow only serves Hunter for support

They're better off as friends

Okay so right off the bat if you've ever watched any episode containing Hunter and Willow you'd know all of these reasons are fucking stupid

Recently on my first post made on Tumblr was a TON ship rating, and some dumb fuck gave me attitude and said "girlie, have you ever been in the fandom?" And I was like thinking to myself, yes bitch ever since 2021, I don't really have time to respond to people in my inbox cause I'm not looking to fight with some bitch on the internet for my opinion, and I just went through their profile a bit and found a post either they made or reblogged about how Huntlow is supposedly "unrealistic" and I didn't even finish it due to how dumb the reasons were, which are the ones on the top that I remembered.

1. Terrible first impression

I actually hate it how they make it out that they met soooo terribly, cause if I remembered correctly in ASIAS how they met is Hunter being chased by puddles and Willow yanking him down with a vine, automatically making it so terrible and making her soooooo damn unlikeable, may i remind you this barley had an affect on Hunter, he was just scared and confused for like one second of the episode then just leaving Willow until he saw the pamphlet say "the best and the brightest" which lead him to join the Emerald Entrails, yet again, sure, their first encounter isn't a good one but Lumity's first impression was by Amity deadass shaking Luz back and forth, both equally terrible first impression yet the both ships still come to be canon >:3

2. Hunter had a crush on Willow the moment they met/too easily

I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HATE THIS REASON, they keep on overexaggerating their interactions, cause first of all, no, he didn't develop a crush on Willow on the spot, most likely in between Reaching Out and Kings tide, although Hunter isn't in Reaching Out he's only shown talking to Luz through Penstegram, and how they think Hunter already had a crush is by, I'm assuming, in ASIAS in the ending where Hunter saves the Emerald Entrails and Willow says "cmon guys, we need to find a replacement, after all, it's only 52 weeks before Caleb's next day off" while smiling, and Hunter blushes slightly, automatically that's a red flag cause I absolutely hate it when people think blushing is only exclusive to romantic attraction, IT'S GETTING ON MY DAMN NERVES, the most realistic reason to why he'd blush is he was probably embarrassed/flustered that Willow would still let him be in the team after nearly kidnapping them to be in the Emperor's Coven.

3. It's forced/rushed

Omg, y'all, you can uncancel your show now!! NO YOU DUMB FUCK YOU CAN'T, SORRY POOKIE DANA CAN'T BE MAKING EVERY EPISODE ABOUT HUNTLOW IF YOU WANT IT TO BE MORE NATURAL SO DAMN BADLY, it's not rushed, in my opinion it's not rushed at all, with how much time skips there are (like the one in TTT, the four year time skips, and the one with Hunter and Willow chatting on Penstegram) it's kinda up to the viewers imagination to realize it's a lot of time they'd have together, and it's not forced, that's the equivalent to you saying gustholomule and aladarius and veesha are forced ships cause they don't interact much together, and like half of the TOH community who don't ship Huntlow and use that excuse most likely ship one of those three ships, fucking hypocrites 🖕

4. No chemistry

Y know maybe, JUST MAYBE, I might be pulling out every damn interaction that they have together...yeah...IMA DO IT BITCH!!!!

They're first interaction is in Any Sport In a Storm where Hunter is pulled down by vines by Willow after he got chased by Puddles, Viney's pet...? I think it's a pet, she calls him an assistant though lol. Hunter uses the fake persona, with the help of Flapjack, (and may he slay in peace with Caleb and Evelyn) of Caleb Jasper Bloodwilliams, Hunter isn't interested in flyer derby until it says it'll attract the best and the brightest, they go on to talk about it for a few seconds, then leave

This isn't a really romantic interaction, more just letting these two characters interact for the first time

A while passes and Hunter shows of his cool as fuck flying skills as Gus and Willow hand out pamphlets to the crowds of teens, as Hunter finishes Willow introduces him to the team, Gus, Viney, Skara, and Willow as herself, Hunter is obviously disappointed given they look like they don't have any experience, leading him to walk away and argue with Willow, calling them loosers, and calling himself a half a witch

THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! people tend to misunderstand this part, mainly because Hunter isn't a witch he's a grimwalker, but may I remind you this was made before Hollow Mind, he's convinced he's a powerless witch and not good enough LIKE WILLOW, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY THING REMOTELY TO DO WITH BEING ROMANTIC, IT'S A SIMILARLY!!!

They go on to do the game and obviously win it because of Hunter, and in the part where he was grabbing the flags from Willow people said that he supposedly "wanted to hold hands with her" which is obviously not even true, there's nothing to back this up, and coming from Huntlow shippers too, thought y'all were better than this

Then Hunter goes on to say he misunderstood them and apologized, then to revealing himself as the Golden Guard and the scouts coming to take them away, which leaves Willow to realize she made a mistake

When she's in the cell she says she's made a mistake and calls herself "half a witch Willow" for letting Hunter onto the team

Hunter is obviously regretting this decision while talking to Steve, Steve saying "Steve is beginning to regret his choices" and Hunter says "I think Hunter is too", which he gets on Flapjack to try and save all of them

He stands in front of the team and admits to Darius that they're unfit for the coven and that HUNTER HIMSELF isn't worthy of being the Golden Guard, (now realizing how fucked up that is oh my Titan), Hunter let's Willow and the rest go, which Willow says "cmon guys, we need to find a replacement, after all, it's only 52 weeks before Caleb's next day off" and Hunter blushes slightly

This interaction isn't really much romantic other than Hunter saving Willow and the rest

They're next interaction is Labyrinth Runners where Hunter and Gus meet the illusion of Willow, but Hunter obviously knows this isn't here by first of all, calling Gus "Augustus", and the weird little noise she made at the end (idk wtf it's even called) Hunter knows it's not her because of the way the scout acts, Hunters known Willow for at least a few weeks depending how regularly Hunter texts Willow and when he first started to chat,

Hunter then goes unconscious by the guards and wakes up in the Healing Homeroom, explaining to principle Bump that he's not with the Emperor's coven, talking about the sandwich Gus gave him, showing him around hexside and trying to find the others, and most importantly the breathing technique Willow showed Gus in the beginning of Labyrinth Runners, immediately cutting off Hunter and convincing Bump to let Hunter stay

This interaction could possibly be romantic if you interpret that way by Hunter knowing Willow seemingly very well, kinda like a strangers to friends to lovers typa troupe

Their next interaction is in Clouds on the Horizon, although not talking they show extreme care for one another, while under Gus' spell, Hunter (looking like Luz) tackles Willow to the ground with his dashing powers to save Willow, also when Luz (looking like Hunter) gets captured by Kiki. She's enraged and darting at Kiki but that stupid bitch hid behind Luz forcing Willow to stop, as Luz gets captured Willow is in a rush, panic, and hurry to save Hunter, or so she thinks it's Hunter

No, just because it's not Hunter doesn't mean she doesn't care, she thought it was him, and by her actions she cares along about him! Which makes this possibly or already romantic, they're care for each other is a romantic aspect that could be easily be seen in any type of relationship, whether it be fictional or not

The next interaction is in Thanks to Them, Willow cuts Hunters hair, Hunter is flustered s bit and blushing at Willow, a common sign for CRUSHES IN PEOPLE, they tend to be nervous or anxious around the people they like, so this interaction just reeks of romance, when they're gonna search town Hunter gets in a Cosmic Frontier cosplay, which Willow shuts Amity the fuck up, complimenting Hunter on his outfit, implying she doesn't see anything wrong with it, before they leave Willow says after Hunters done reading Cosmic Frontier she'd like to borrow and read it, making Hunter blush, a sign of having a crush with the context of the moment

Then at the end of Thanks to them after the possession Hunter let's Willow craddle his head, obviously in need of some type if comfort

Not really romantic just fucking sad cause Flapjack died, and may he slay in peace

The next interaction is in FTF where Willow tries to find her dads and Hunter has to take her away or get risked by getting seen by the collector and turned into a puppet

Not much to say other than Hunter doesn't want Willow to get hurt and get collected

When they're in hexside Willow hands Hunter a flyer derby card with him and Flapjack, since Hunter is now showing more strong emotions he's not sure how to react to it, even though he's thankful, which leads Willow to thinking she made Hunter sad and left in a hurry, leading to her breakdown

As Hunter hears Willow self deprecate on herself by saying she's a half a witch and can't control her magic, Hunter immediately snaps and uses his Flapjack powers to cut through the vines and comfort Willow, LEGITIMATELY SAYING HE CARES ABOUT WILLOW, NOT JUST GUS, WILLOW, and saving them both from the cave thingy, dunno what it is

This whole scene reeks of romance and that both Willow and Hunter care deeply about each other, WHICH IS MOST COMMONLY ROOTED IN RELATIONSHIPS

Willow also says in the end of FTF whole doing the little pinky holding with Hunter "Thanks Hunter, you mean a lot to me too" which Hunter replies "Sure...no problem"

And that my friends, is all of their interactions

NOW THE NEXT FUCKING REASON DAMMIT I HAVE SO MUCH TO TYPE

5. Willows only there to be a supportive character

That's...thats literally her fucking personality, granted not her whole personality but it consists of her being the reliable friend for the hexsquad, the group wouldn't exist without her, and she's not just here for "comfort" but this is about Huntlow and not Willow so you can do that analysis on your own time XD

6. They're better off as friends

Well...if you just read my whole entire analysis of they're interactions then no...I don't think they'd be better off as friends... 0_0

AND THAT IS IT MY LADY'S AND GENTLEMEN, NON BINARY FOLKS IN THE BACK YOU TOO, I AM FUCKING TIRED Y'ALL 😭😭😭💀💀💀

Updated profile pic!

Thanks to everyone for your support through the past year <3 I can't believe TOH has ended...

Some updates/ personal notes under the cut!! Like, its really personal its almost narcissistic!

PRONOUNS: I go by she/they now!!! I've always had a lowkey gender crisis (fueled by an existential crisis really) so I am FINALLY trying this out. Feel free to refer to me with they/them pronouns :) (I guess I should have seen something coming when I made my first proper OC over a decade ago as an aro ace agender lol)

TOH ENDING: I'm really sad that the owl house is over...but I'm so glad I got to meet so many cool people in the TOH fandom!!! I even had the pleasure of sending a few friends stickers as a small token of appreciation. I'm like super grateful for all the encouragement and notes! I don't talk much here but I do read the reblog tags :) The brainrot was so serious that it made me draw basically everyday the past year (even if its a small doodle) and i really feel like i grew as an artist, and I honed my skills although I still have a long way to go! I can see improvement in my framing and colouring skills :) I think I might do some funny compilation video in the near future...

A BREAK/MINI-HIATUS: I am considering taking a small break from fandom. It might be a few weeks or maybe less, depending on how quickly I get out of this slump. I am guessing its a burn out from all the negative news regarding AI 'art' and being tussled round by the twitter algorithms. Also maybe because i did two epic pieces back to back... I have a lot of ideas and I really don't want to stop posting art online! I want to do sort of a post-WAD/pre-epilogue HW comic series, as well as a grom animatic :)

THANK YOU HUNTLOW ugh they mean so much to me... I know its silly because its a silly little fictional ship. But its really unlocked some creativity in me that I lost? Along with such a lovely community, it has really inspired me to keep drawing! Maybe its a right place at a right time thing, but after watching ASiaS, it gave me brainrot so much that it kicked my other bad habits out the window! I got to do so much cool stuff i always wanted to do including making an animatic, comics, being in a fan zine, epic pieces, making stickers... I can't believe they are canon now its been such a journey to watch this ship and the shippers blossom :)

THANK YOU!!!! If you've ever liked or reblogged any of my drawings, especially leaving funny tags, I just really want to say thank you <3 I really do cherish all the comments I get!!!! and if you've read this far, I'm super impressed!

That's all from me for now!!

<3 papers

#smallishpapers #its a lot of personal stuff and some thoughts hahaha

Ollie: "You mean a lot to me." Molly: "You mean a lot to me, too."

NO NO YOU SEE I'M ACTUALLY SO INSANE FOR HUNTLOW/MOLLIE PARALLELS YOU HAVE NO IDEA

in both cases, we have a relationship that could hypothetically put each other in a lot of danger if found out by just the wrong people. They both fundamentally have the same canonical conflict; Ollie and Hunter are both the product of something or someone that really wants to hurt their loved one

Hunter is a grimwalker of someone who was raised to be a witch hunter; he's a clone of Caleb, who up until meeting Evelyn, bought into the belief that all witches were evil and dangerous and had to be erraticated. Hunter's very name is a play on being a witch hunter, and for most of the series he was raised by someone who strongly believed in these awful things and passed it onto Hunter, who despite self-identifying as a magicless witch, still seemingly bought into the mindset that, at least up until Hollow Mind, that he was doing something good.

Ollie is a ghost hunter. He was brought up to be one since the day he was born. His dad was traumatized by a ghost when he was around Ollie's age, so he's got this mindset that all ghosts are horrible creatures who only live to scare and harm others. Ollie loves his family, so of course he's going to believe into what his family likes and wants. He thinks what his family is doing is for the greater good, and that wiping out ghost-kind will protect humanity.

Enter Willow and Molly. Willow is a powerful witch who shows Hunter kindness where the Emperor's Coven would not. Even at the end of Any Sport in a Storm, she treats him equally, like a kid her own age, and dismisses him instead of starting a fight with him.

and it starts churning those wheels in his head

Similarly, though Molly knows that Ollie's a ghost hunter, her first response is always to reason with him. She brings him around and tries to tell him all about the ghosts all around Brighton and how they've been helpful since she moved in, instead of outwardly just snapping at him and trying to change his mind by force. She knows it's ultimately his decision, so she works with what she can

and it doesn't work, not on this level, because just talking in "hypotheticals" isn't going to do much, but it's still bringing them together. Ollie still likes spending time with Molly and listening to what she has to say, even if their beliefs don't line up, which....

sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it? Even when Hunter's there on business, he still ends up realizing that...he really enjoys spending time with Willow.

and like Hunter in Hollow Mind, it really isn't until Ollie is forcibly and somewhat accidentally encountered with evidence that his mindset is wrong that the gears start turning in his head......

Molly's spent all this time speaking in cute little "hypotheticals" about ghosts being good and helpful, and now he sees her talking about one?? It's pretty clear how eye-opening this is for him, given how he refuses to tell his mom what happened when she asks him how he was feeling.

It's his equivalent of learning everything about his family is built on a lie and being powerless to stop it

How must it feel, to be so young and to learn that everything you've ever known is hurting so many people??

and how must it feel, knowing the person you love most is the very thing your family's set out to destroy??

a witch hunter in love with a witch, and a ghost hunter in love with a ghost...lover.

Such beautiful tragedies.

Ello people!!

It's been a while, huh?

Sorry for barley posting anything- I've been extremely busy and taking some time for myself. I don't have time to be on social media alot and all-- I know I said I would be posting art- but we'll leave that to later on. (I've been suffering with art block)

I've watched the new episode teaser/trailer for the owl house season 3 finale and I am SO hype for it. (IM NOT READY FOR IT- ITS LITERALLY THE LAST EPISODE- GUYS IM CRYING HELP)

I'm not much of a theory person but I have seen some great ones being said on this platform.

. . .

But others- not so great.

Some of these theories have bothered me a bit- and I kinda wanna give MY views about it-

I'm extremely sorry for starting on with a bad note but most of the things I wanna say I've been wanting to let it out of my chest for a while.

Now, when I say my opinions about what I'm about to discuss, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME. These are MY opinions that perhaps a few people may or may not agree with. This is also not gonna be about one episode- it's more likely discussing more about all of the Episodes on season 3. Also- no HATE I'm not much of a person who can explain things properly- I'm not trying to offend anybody and if I do- I'm incredibly sorry!!!

Now, let's start with the first topic.

Hunter stans

----------------

Okay, now- I'm not talking about ALL of the Hunter stans- and there's nothing wrong with liking Hunter at all!! I think Hunter is an extremely amazing character for some people to relate to, and lemme just say, IM SO HAPPY HE STOOD UP FOR HIMSELF AGAINST BELOS- OUR BOY IS GETTING BRAVER EVERY DAY- WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!

But one thing that bugs me is the fact that SOME Hunter stans sort of-- make Hunter's trauma and character in general the main thing- or the big spotlight of the show (if that makes any sense at all)

Hunter isn't the only one with trauma- and I really think people should start appreciating other characters other than Hunter.

IM NOT ASKING FOR YOU TO STOP LIKING HUNTER I'M JUST TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT HUNTER ISN'T THE ONLY CHARACTER OF THE SHOW AND THAT WE BRING ALL CHARACTERS SOME SPOTLIGHT OTHER THAN HUNTER ALL THE TIME.

Point is, yes, Hunter has trauma, yes we should give the boy love but ALSO YES the other characters ALSO have trauma and YES we should give them love.

It's ALWAYS ` Hunter this ` ` Hunter that ` `Hunter experienced this `.

It just sort of- annoys me.

(please don't come at me-- I'm really not good at explaining things with the right words-- sorry if this sounded offensive )

Huntlow shippers

----------------------

Okayyyy-- this topic-

I have- NO HATE to the ship.

I think it's pretty cool how they adorably care for eachother and you can totally ship them! And it's totally valid!!

I only see them as incredibly cute besties with incredibly cute platonic feelings for eachother and I think that's pretty valid too.

The problem isn't the ship- it's more of some of the shippers that are the problem.

Key word: SOME!! NOT EVERY PERSON WHO SHIPS IT!!

The problem is that they PUSH the ship onto people who DON'T ship it.

Take this as an example: Let's say you met somebody who shipped Hunter and Willow together and you didn't-

You probably ship maybe- Edric and Hunter or Skara and Willow or Boscha and Willow or any other ship-

Or maybe you just headcannon them both as AroAce ( WHICH IS ALSO VALID TOO)

Because you ship something OTHER than Huntlow- they're gonna start throwing at you a ` OH BUT HUNTLOW IS CANON ` or ` HUNTLOW IS BETTER ` ` THOSE TWO HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A PROPER INTERACTION- SHIP HUNTLOW ` or even ` THAT SHIP IS TOO TOXIC `

Obviously you're gonna start feeling bad- or angry. The point of shipping is to ship two or more other characters and just make em all cutesy and lovey dovey- like- let people ship whatever the heck they want! (As long as it's legal-- non-proshipper-wise- I've seen so many proshipper ships that TRAUMATIZED me)

SOME Huntlow shippers have made other shippers who don't ship them feel bad about what they ship. It's hurtful and it just BREAKS the fun on the idea of shipping.

Something else that also makes me upset is the fact that whenever I go see the Willow tag, there's always gonna be Huntlow and barley just any Willow at all.

It sort of just makes it seem like the whole point of Willow's character is to just be with Hunter- IM NOT ACCUSING ANYBODY ON INTENDING TO DO THIS- but all I'm saying is that we need more Willow on her own spotlight- the whole point of her character is to see how much improvement and change she's going through- how much she's getting stronger.

That's one of the points if the show- to see characters develop, change and improve.

Belos/ Philip

---------------

Everything.

Everything about him is a problem.

Crusty old man with nothing better to do.

He gives British people a bad name.

(but the good Uncle AU is actually adorable- I'm not gonna lie)

Luz in Belos' position

--------------------------

Many of you people might be wondering what I'm talking about so lemme just give you a bit of an explanation.

2 days ago, the trailer for Episode 3 of season 3 came out and have us a sneak peak of what's to come for the finale. (GO WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T- UNLESS YOU DON'T TO AND YOU JUST WANNA KEEP THE WHOLE THING A SUPRISE WHEN THE WHOLE EPISODE COMES OUT. IN THAT CASE- SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!)

We saw Luz wearing Belos' robes numerous of times throughout the whole trailer and there has been this one theory that has been passing out everywhere.

People are theorising that Luz is going to KILL hunter.

I for one don't think so.

If that was the case, is she going to start consuming palisman?? (Including Stringbean and all of her friends' palismen)???

Does this mean she now has the intention to KILL EVERY WITCHES/DEMON ON THE BOILING ISLES including Eda, King, Hooty and everyone else??

Does this mean she's going to become Belos??

No.

Luz would NEVER kill anybody- yet alone harm them AT ALL.

What some of you are suggesting/describing is not LUZ

Literally, the whole point she's the in the first place was to HELP the boiling isles.

She's not going to kill Hunter. She would NEVER.

Yes, she does compare herself to Belos.

But the only reason why is because she ACCIDENTALLY HELPED BELOS.

Because she helped Belos, he put the thought into her head that they're like eachother. He put the thought into her head that because they're both human, they're the same.

Just because Luz is dressed up and cosplaying as Belos, doesn't mean she IS him.

I think, that Luz is in a DREAM and she's WATCHING what BELOS DID through HIS eyes.

She's probably going to see how Belos killed Caleb and why he did it. She's probably going to see what he's done to the other grimwalkers including hunter.

She's probably going to see things that have ALREADY HAPPENED. Hunter isn't dead.

Luz is not going to kill Hunter.

Boscha

----------

Some of you might know that Boscha is one of my favourite characters.

Not because she's a funny character, but because I believe that characters like her can change. We've seen it many times with other characters from different shows.

For example: Sasha from Amphibia, Pacifica from gravity falls, We've seen Amity change aswell as Matt! We've seen Lilith change, Steve, Hunter!

But I've come to notice that alot of people portray her badly-

I get it, she's done really fucked up things to Willow- and i get that she hasn't really gotten a proper redemption arc- but we can see that she's trying due to the recent episode which was episode 2 on season 3.

Alot of you are saying that Boscha calls Willow half-A-Witch, and although we DO hear her say it on episode 2 on season 3- Alot of you are saying she's the one who STARTED the whole thing-

Amity started it, not Boscha.

I honestly don't think that Boscha's whole intention was to push Willow down and make her feel worse on that one hallway scene in the recent episode. But it was as if she was almost- relating to Willow in a way. It was certainly not a healthy way if doing it- but you get the point.

I think Boscha relates alot to Willow- and maybe she's also a little jealous of Willow.

I think Boscha is misunderstood and it's just trying to get people's approvals in a wrong way.

I can totally see her getting closer and becoming friends with Willow and the Hex-squad if she wasn't acting like such a bitch all the time-

I can see her changing and improving.

She can become a better person.

Another thing is the headband that Boscha has got in her head-

NO SHE DID NOT KILL HER PALISMAN AND USED IT AS A TROPHY- SHE DID IT TO MATCH WITH HER CRAB PALISMAN-

It's honestly cute that she did that- but anyways-

Another and probably one last thing-

The whole thing about Boscha having a crush on Amity.

While it is interesting-

It is a bit of a no for me.

We can see that she's lost almost everything- including her friends (which she obviously cares about)

Because of that- as soon as she saw Amity, she probably thought ` Oh! Amity's somebody I've been close too! Maybe if I fix our friendship- this means I haven't lost EVERYTHING `

She's obviously desperate for a sense of familiarity.

She's desperate for somebody to give her a sense that she's not alone and she hasn't lost everything.

And the way Boscha handled that was really unhealthy- I know.

But the clinginess shows how desperate she is.

I don't think people understand that losing a friend is just as painful as losing a partner.

` BUT SHE GOT ON ONE KNEE!! `

Getting on your knee(s) can also be a sign of ` please, forgive me `

Although it looked like a proposal- I think the crew was trying to indicate that Boscha is desperate.

I think that's it for now-

I might have a whole army coming at me- oh my god.

Don't come at me for this- this is just my opinions about some situations about the fandom.

Reblogs with opinions or replies would be great to see! (Please say them respectfully)

I hope you guys have a great day/night or whatever the time is for you! Bah-bye!!

I'm scared for my life.

I personally love how people were adamantly mad about how Amity stole screentime and development from Willow, but then cheer when she is awkwardly glued to Hunter and never let her exist on her own or even make content for her to make up for the shows lack of development with her. I feel there were so many interesting threads of story that could have been done with Willow that just kinda, vanished? mainly supression of emotion, 'out of sight out of mind'. They could have explored her relationship with her dads, is she resentful that they decided her track for her? is she able to even communicate those issues with them? was she mainly putting up with Amity to placate Luz and ignoring her deeper anger? The most we got was a meh side story with Amity and Willow in labyrinth runners, and honestly that whole episode is frustrating outside of the legend Gus, it legit has a plot hole where Hunter SOMEHOW knows Graye is in the gym despite being knocked out AND he was just being randomly dragged around the halls instead of being watched by Graye, who knew he was a high value target as the Golden Guard???? Sorry for the rant, its just cathartic knowing others are irritated by the ocean of Huntlow and its shoehorned 'just because ig' vibes.

Yo I didn't notice the insane amount of plot holes in Labyrinth Runners until you just pointed it out lmfao. But for real. It's the same people complaining that Willow didn't get the development or screentime she deserved now adamantly insisting hunt//low is canon and she's in love with Hunter despite her having even LESS development now. I REALLY thought we would see something about her tendency to suppress her feelings, which I know we don't have much time left, but the fact that she seemed so happy-go-lucky in the human realm while everyone else had some type of distress about not being able to get back except for her. So she's clearly still bottling up her emotions or her character is being disregarded again in favor of other plotlines (which, like I said, I don't blame the writing for since we have very limited time left and Dana had to cut out bits that weren't absolutely necessary to the plot). Sticking her with Hunter and putting them in a relationship would take away her personality and character even more when we already don't have the available screentime Willow deserves :/ I really, REALLY would've liked her and Amity's friendship and struggles to be explored more thoroughly, too. The potential full arc and friendship we could've had with Willow and Amity is so much more interesting and plot important than a potential romance with a boy she's barely talked to. Honestly, Hunter and Amity's friendship being explored in regards to the events of Eclipse Lake would've been way more interesting than the possibility of hunt//low. I will never not be mad at the albeit miniscule amount of screentime, but still screentime nonetheless, that's been stolen because of fanservice for a bland, white toast ship. Give me Willow struggling with her own mental health, give me Willow and Amity fully reconciling their past with actual closure, give me Amity struggling with trusting and being friends with Hunter and Hunter having to deal with the bad things he's done in his past and having to reconcile with apologizing and growing from it to become a good friend, give me Hunter and Amity making active, noticeable strives to move past it and become close friends despite it all.

ok its been literally 15 minutes since the finale ended and im getting off the TOH tag.

I am SO DISAPPOINTED in a certain side of this fandom.

it took less than FIFTEEN MINUTES to see enough "lollllll lumity went canon and huntlow didn't, get WRECKED YOU STINKY STRAIGHTS LOL BURY UR GAYS UNO REVERSE LMAOOOOO HOW DOES IT FEEL NASTY ICKY BAD STRAIGHT SHIPPERS" posts to make me actually consider whether I'd rather the show have had a sad ending.

not bc of huntlow, i ship it but never put any hope or weight on it going canon. I'm not "anti-lumity" or whateverthefuck, I don't really think about ships that much in 99.9% of fandoms.

...yall are just extremely fucking

IMMATURE.

I'm queer. I understand how much pain we've dealt with even SOLELY in terms of media rep. I even understand the glee at the concept of "straightbaiting" actually being a thing that happened here.

I also understand the EXTREMELY JUSTIFIED concern and anger around some parts of the fandom seeming to abandon the BIPOC WLW main character/main ship in favor of the Sad Greasy White Boy Of The Week And His White Straight Girlfriend.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why so many "fans" are taking this EXTREMELY POSITIVE, LITERALLY GROUNDBREAKING and immediately turning it against their fellow fans. All this amazing rep, characterization, EVERYTHING and you still find a way to be cruel to your fellow fans.

this isn't a contest.

Lumity is canon.

Huntlow is not.

Huntlow was not a focus of the finale.

I can guarantee you that after that finale, NOBODY was thinking about Huntlow until yall started being fucking mean about it.

YOU brought up the thing you claimed to want the fandom to stop focusing on, for the SINGULAR PURPOSE of enacting some sort of "revenge" on shippers that you projected a whoooole lot of Racism, Homophobia, and Evil onto, despite:

Bi Hunter, Transmasc Hunter, Transfemme Willow, and T4T Huntlow all being EXTREMELY popular hcs/themes in and out of shipping context

A fair chunk of the fandom seeing Willow as BIPOC/East Asian -coded

ALL of the masc presenting queers w parental and/or religious trauma who have spoken out about how seen they feel bc of Hunter

I'm not saying Hunter was a perfect character. He definitely wasn't the main character, or even close.

I'm saying that yall have demonized this part of the fandom SO MUCH that after THAT FINALE.

*THAT. FINALE.*

your FIRST INSTINCT was to ATTACK THEM

over the SHIP (I REPEAT MYSELF) THAT YOU SAID YOU WANTED PPL TO STOP TALKING ABOUT.

I was having a really fun, good, genuine amazing time freaking my shit over Titan!Luz, and Lumity, and Raeda, and King and The Collector and TITAN LUZ!!!!!

yknow. all the stuff the finale was actually about.

and now I'm thinking mainly of huntlow (or at least the discourse around it), angry, and extremely sad that my experience of this finale has been ruined

and that this fandom is the latest to fall into the trap of "blame other fans for actual systemic oppression, regardless of whether or not they are actually upholding it."

I don't know how to get it through your heads that a heavily T4T-headcanoned, likely biracial-coded ship that is CANONICALLY a healing narrative for trauma survivors

is not fucking reylo.

this Evil In Fandom you're angry at 1000% exists but it sure as fuck isn't here.

unless there's a Secret Second Huntlow Fandom That Is Evil And Racist And Hates Lumity that idk abt, this is just a group of sad queer kids sitting next to your own group of sad queer kids

and despite me seeing ZERO ACTUAL HUNTLOW COMMENTS ABOUT THE FINALE * AT ALL *

you, whatever side of the fandom is doing this (I honestly don't know who is making these posts) aren't proving, winning, fixing or righting anything

you're going over to another side of the fandom whose ship didnt go canon

and with ZERO PROVOKATION

you're making them feel like shit for it.

why???

WHY??????

yall "won". you won as much as you can possibly win here. everybody loves the finale. nobody is giving anything but overwhelming love, happy tears, joy and awe to "your" win.

but you still felt the need to make sure someone, somewhere, knew that they "lost".

sry im just so angry at this rn. i was having so much fun. what the fuck is this kind of behavior supposed to prove?

also btw to be clear this is NOT DIRECTED AT ALL OR MOST LUMITY SHIPPERS, LUZ STANS, ETC. ITS NOT EVEN DIRECTED AT "HUNTLOW-ANTIS" EXCEPT THE *SPECIFIC PEOPLE* WHO CHOSE TO USE THE FINALE TO BASH ON OTHERS.

AS FOR THOSE SPECIFIC PEOPLE:

YOU SUCK!!!!!! Thanks for ruining this fantastic experience for me by being a piece of shit on main over some "shipper" crap im not even in.

#toh spoilers #the owl house spoilers #vent #rant #fandom wank #discourse #Literally What The Fuck #shit like this makes it so much easier for ACTUAL PEOPLE IN POWER to write off queer narratives and fanbases #theres also legit no point #nobody is attacking yall in the toh fandom ok????#i was having FUN #AND NOW I WANT TO CRY #NOT BC OF SHIPS #BUT BC PPL ARE BEING SO MEAN LITERALLY JUST TO BE MEAN #im blocking ship tags from now on methinkd #Grow. Up.#angry post #long post #longpost

OKAY OKAY OKAY!

The episode broke me. I am not okay. FUCK

But I do have something to talk about, that's not really relevant (?)

Huntlow ( plz wait me out)

I am a big Huntlow/Winter shipper, okay? I think it's cute, and I'm just a fan of their dynamic.

BUTTTTTTT

I don't think it will be canon ; and HERE'S WHY

Before ASiaS, Hunter had pretty much no positive reneforcment. Darius was still being a bitch, Belos was being Belos, and Hunter didn't like Luz enough yet to care about what she said to him. THEN BOOM! Enter Willow

And she is genuine with him. Right from the start, she's nice and honest to him, and she really does think he's cool. (that's why his momentary betrayal hurt both of them)

Hunter clearly doesn't know what to do with this, he's awkward and flustered and sweet about it, and he seems shy.

NOW, I don't know about y'all, but being raised in an environment that doesn't give a lot of postive reenforcement, you don't really know what to do with it. You're awkward and unsure and feel a little bit like you're being lied to; it's a lot of "Thank you?"s, and you feel on the spot.

This is what I think Huntlow is.

Hunter doesn't know what to do with this constant positivity that Willow gives him. Gus hated Hunter's guts at first, so no awkwardness there (plus now they have that brother dynamic). Amity fucking HATED Hunter with a passion, and then the next time she saw him was Clouds on the Horizon, and there was no time to reconcile. Luz and Hunter have been through too much, a lot of their dynamic rn is just echoing "We're fine" back and forth. Vee doesn't count because obvi.

Willow though? From the beginning, and she's kept at it. Even after he got her essentially kidnapped, she was nice to him, and BOOM we got our first blush. It's small and awkward and almost not even noticable, but it's there.

From there, we get Labyrith Runners, and our second & third blushes. The second is seeing Willow for the first time since ASiaS, and if we're right about the Penstagram texts (and the fact that Luz says she got his contact from Willow is more evidence), then he probably feels nervous and awkward about seeing his first real friend again because SAME BABE i never know how to react to seeing friends for the first time in a while. The third is during that hug at the end. And c'mon. This poor child probably doesn't get hugged like ever. He's not gonna know what to do with his hands. Of course he blushed, it the easiest way to show nervousness and embarrasment.

The next time (that I can find but I think I'm right) is King's Tide, when she saves him from falling. AND AGAIN blushing is the fastest way to show embarrasment, and he is sure as hell embarrased, especcially since Willow thinks Hunter is cool; it's like tripping in front of that one cool friend you have, you feel stupid after it, even if it's nothing.

Then we have Thanks To Them. And we see in the montage that he blushes while she's cutting his hair, but again: EM BARRASMENT. And then there's the scene where he wear's his costume for the first time, and Amity disses him ( loved that ) and Willow is super supportive and nice to him, she loves it, she gets a photo, and she asks to borrow the book when he's done with it. And we get our final blush (for now). This one isn't embarrasment, it's pride. He's happy, genuinely happy, and Willow just complimented something he really worked on, and really cares about, and he's so so happy with it. Of course he blushes.

Time and time again, Willow backs Hunter, supporting him and standing up for him; because it works in reverse. Hunter think's Willow is SO COOL, you can see it. He call's her Captain and he know's she strong (and scary) and he believes in her more than he believes in himself. But I don't think he likes her like that.

Because their journeys of self-love and happiness overlap, and grow as they lean on each other for support and care and genuinity.

And that's what Hunter and Willow's character arcs have been about: Self Love. We see it more in Willow because of Hunter's situation, of course, but upon meeting her, we see him growing and becoming happier, even just a bit at a time.

Dana* is smart, and fantastic, and she has shoved so much love and attention and detail into this show, and she really does care about the characters. She has shown both of their growths so far fantastically, for the time she's had. And because it's a story that is mainly family based, (Momma Eda, King and Luz being 'siblings', Luz saying Hunter is family, Luz's struggle with her mother, Amity's struggles with her father, etc), it's full of self love. Eda learns a purpose, she keep's fighting. King learns his past and who he is. Amity is given someone who want's her to succeed because she think's she deserves it, Luz is given someone who let's her take her time, to be herself and learn to be okay with it. Gus...gus doesn't get a lot of screen time (/rip) but what we see is a story similiar to Willow's, a story of self worth, and his grown comes from his friends, and like Luz, being himself around them. Both Willow and Hunter's stories are focused on becoming who they were meant to be - Willow is strong and confident, but as nice as she ever was. Hunter is learning to be free, letting himself be a bit childish and excited at things, learning to be okay with not being okay.

Because of this I don't think Huntlow would work as a canon ship. Their stories don't work for it. Amity and Luz lean of each other in a way they needed, they needed that love. But that's the only story that I think need's it. Not even Raeda needs it ( Yes I said it, Yes I love Raeda, Yes I might do another long post on them). Least of all Hunter and Willow. It wouldn't work. They're not done growing - or at least, Hunter isn't.

TL;DR

I really love Hunter, I really love Willow, I think thier amazing, but I don't think that Hunter actually has a crush on Willow, he's just awkward, and a love story between them wouldn't work narratively rn.

*Dana and her crew

20 questions for fic authors

thank you to my lovely mutual @zyrafowe-sny for the tag! for my no pressure tagging, only if you wanna, @phantasmaltrain @thousand-winters @kolapon @msbadatnamingthings @violet-prism-creatively @sir-ballister-boldheart @bleezebrew and anyone else who wants to join in!

how many fics do you have on ao3?

18! most are shoved to pseuds because I do not want them associated w me anymore but I don't want to make it so people who like the fics can't find more by me because that shit drives me insane.

what's your total ao3 word count?

29,876

what fandoms do you write for?

the owl house, mostly. I'm planning on expanding to more, writing for several more fandoms now in fact. but I mean if you've seen one of my fics somewhere, it's probably from owl house.

what are your top five fics by kudos?

an open book (with a torn out page) is very much in the lead still, stubborn is in second, loyal is in third, eggwart salad in fourth, and identity in fifth. I do think most of that is the toh fics being that popular because hunter + they were made during the show being super !!!!!, so when I post more fics the rating will probably change more. one day I'll actually finish more lmao I'm sorry guys I'm busy as shit.

do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I try to! because when I'm commenting I'm always worried I'm being annoying andbtoo much about the fic and bugging the author so me replying is me trying to say "hey!!! I really appreciate this!!!!", although sometimes I just don't know what to say and ghost (sorry!!!!)

what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

ohhh god I gotta talk about my old fics great /lh, cold probably. I think it's the only FULLY hurt no comfort I've ever written? it and settle for a ghost. I'm leaning towards cold because

A. I hate settle for a ghost /lh

B. cold is literally about Pure Pain. there is no silver lining there is no "this character in canon gets a happy ending", it's just "this character is gonna die horribly in a few days, here's some angst"

what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I mean, eggwart salad is entirely father son fluff. it's just darius loving his weird son for several thousand words. but if we're talking fics with some sadder parts with a happier ending, probably happy new year, dear, or maybbbeeeee roses and lilies? I used to write a lot of that shit. man I need to write more of it.

do you get hate on fics?

not yet

do you write smut? if so, what kind?

none published no. that is all I'm gonna say and y'all can mind your business on everything else /lh

do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?

nope! never been my forte besides shit like in the setting of another media. ex, what if [x] character was a pokemon trainer and that shit.

have you ever had a fic stolen?

not to my knowledge but they've probably been gobbled up by an ai at least once 😔

have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

have you ever cowriten a fic before?

that depends on your definition! I've done a lot of things where me and a group will brainstorm an idea together, make into a fully fledged thing and we'll all suggest dialogue. some of those conversations have become fics, sometimes even with my dialogue and a lot of my ideas. so I guess...yeah, I've cowriten fics! if that's your definition.

what's your all-time favorite ship?

hmmm, I'm not as much of a shipper anymore. but I did love twohina back in 2020-2021-2022 (ifykyk) and I do have a soft spot for raeda. goldenheart is currently blorboing though and I do love huntlow. and oh I love zukka! I don't know if I really have a favorite ship, though.

what's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I really really really REALLY wanna finish dadrius week and am trying so hard. but ohhh my god my life is on fucking fire lately July just kind of exploded and it's been downhill from there lmao. but I'm slowly getting back up again so hopefully I do finish it. sorry gang my life's been on fire. as y'all have probably noticed lmao.

what's your writing strengths?

INTROSPECTION!!!! ohhh my god. character studies I like to think I can do pretty well! character analysis is my special interest. give me a character and I will find a way to give them depth so help me god.

what's your writing weaknesses?

ohhhh god. describing actions. like hand motions, fight motions, movements, expressions, visual shit, or anything descriptive, or just! shit like that! it's insane!! I don't fuckin know how!!!!

thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I have no fucking clue how and considering I want to write more luz stuff I really should learn. the problem is I Have No Fucking Clue How. do you see the issue.

first fandom you wrote for?

warriors, not on ao3. first fandom bb.

favorite fic you've ever written?

open book! I think it holds up pretty well, although I do wish I focused more on how the secret effects gus. one day I really want to sit down and write something with him , I just need to get in his head more. I do think my hunter characterization was pretty good there? I think? I hope so. I need to work on him again, he's tough to nail down.

thanks for the tag, and I hope you enjoyed seeing my thoughts :D

for anyone curious, my ao3 is here! mind the spoilers!

for the character ask, Willow and Amity!!!

Willow!

favorite thing about them: I love a lot of things about her! But for now I'll be a bit general and say her arc of continuing to get back up and prove people wrong. I wanna call it perseverance or strength, but it's more like stubbornness lmao. In the early episodes she's prone to defeatism and that's such a far cry from who she is now. She gained hope and belief in herself and leant into the righteous anger she felt watching people she loves be treated like dirt! AUGH I love her

least favorite thing about them: ooh not sure. Maybe that early episode defeatism? Both in an encouraging way where I want her to get back up but also in the sense of "GIRL THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT NOR THE END OF THE WORLD. TALK TO SOMEONE ABT THINGS!!!" You can see it a bit in for the future too where she interprets hunters ambiguous response ("I don't know") as negative. It's the warped self perception for me /j

favorite line: GRRR THAT'S HARD!! I'm not in encyclopedia mode rn but rn I'm thinking of some lines from Understanding Willow ("you said I was hurting Willow? I was just finishing what you started!" And "it's...a start"). uhh there's also "not if I never look down!" and "it'll be 52 weeks before Caleb's next day off"

brOTP: JUST ONE??? SHE HAS SO MANY GOOD FRIENDSHIPS MAN!!! But either her and Luz or her and Gus

OTP: sigh. Huntlow (I am predictable)

nOTP: her and Boscha. I wasn't in the fandom much during season 1 but I really never got it even back then. That is not a girl who's mean bc she likes you that is a highschool war criminal

random headcanon: OUGH I'VE HAD SO MANY OVER TIME AND NOW I'M BLANKING! Uhh would like magical girl anime (cardcaptor sakura and sailor moon specifically I think). Likes hyperpop and riot grrrl bc it releases her repressed rage and scratches her brain

Unpopular opinion: OKAY I get it. I also want willow to go apeshit, to have her catharsis and maim and kill. But some people characterize Willow as a lot more bitter than she is to compensate for this and I personally don't care for it, lol. It's Awful or anything it's just Not My Girl. She would not fucking say that

song i associate with them: CRIES. SO MANY!! Mona Lisa my mxmtoon

favorite picture of them:

^ this Dana pic!! There's more but I don't wanna make this any longer

Amity!

favorite thing about them: probably how far she's come from being a lonely, image obsessed girl who lashed out at others to a pretty silly but ultimately very emotionally mature person. She takes care of people more often now, while still having learned her lesson about respect and boundaries from labyrinth runners. Also her design/aesthetic

least favorite thing about them: bit wishy washy but a lot of the early season 1 scenes of her bullying Willow, Luz and Co are like. Hard for me to watch sometimes lol. Same with her and Willow in labyrinth runners. Mean girls just hit too close to home sometimes lol.

favorite line: ECLIPSE LAKE SPEECH HANDS DOWN!!! "There are people out there who won't make you feel worthless" SO PROUD OF HER. CRYING RN

brOTP: probably her and Willow since they have the most developed platonic relationship! But also her moments with Matt in for the future lmao (also Gus and Raine. In my head)

OTP: sigh. Lumity (I am predictable. Again)

nOTP: ooh I'm not sure I really have one! At least one that's based in personal squicks/opinions and not stuff like. Shipping her with men. If that's the case though, Amity/Hunter. Gag

random headcanon: she used to play piano as a kid! Was decent at it too even if she only got to play classical. But when she committed to abominations her mom cut her off of her lessons and pushed her away from it since there was no "practical use" for it anymore, not like Amity was going into the bard track. She gets back into it post-canon though :] would also like to jump off that starting point and play bass

unpopular opinion: hhh okay. While I think they could've made things more explicit/dwelled upon/whatever in order to communicate more clearly to the audience, I'm overall fine with the direction they took in Amity's "redemption arc". Bc like. She's just a highschool bully who's already being punished by her family when the audience can't see her. The solution to this would not be to punish her more. Maybe she should've gotten to talk things out more, somebody once pointed out that, in the main big redemption arcs in TOH, nobody really says sorry (ON SCREEN. Apologies are very much implied), just makes a gesture and does better, which I understand but also I like apologies they give closure. But overall I prefer them just giving her the chance to follow through on her promises.

song i associate with them: Babyface by fresh maybe?

favorite picture of them: I DONT HAVE IT RN BUT THE FACE SHE MAKES WHEN BOSCHA GETS DOWN ON ONE KNEE IN FOR THE FUTURE AND SHE GOES "heh????" IT'S SO FUNNY

#ramblings of a lunatic #asks #toh #eh i don't need to tag these #hehe these were fun :] thanks for the ask!!#no id

How 'bout TOH for the ask game?

Askgame link

Favorite character: Hunter is my cringe little fail whiteboy (who could also be a girl)

Least favorite character: the scammer guy that's a fucking pig

5 favorite ships: Let me see... In no particular order – Huntlow, Cavelyn/Witteclaw, Raeda, Lumity, aaand... Goldric?) It's just a funny ship ok) and ik this said 5 but come on I have to include Gustholomule

Character I find most attractive: Eda ofc 😏 also Darius

Character I would marry: Eda 😏

Character I would be best friends with: Luz! Literally Luz! We would get along so well and talk about our favorite shows!

A random thought: you know, I feel like Hunter and Lilith could really get along well if they just sat down and talked to each other. I mean, I want them to nerd out so badly! I want Lilith to look at this boy and think..oh, he's really just a kid. I want her to become his cool aunt.

An unpopular opinion: is the collector shouldve stayed in the boiling isles one? I really think they should've

My Canon Otp: Witteclaw :) I love myself some narrative haunters... Also Huntlow and Raeda! I love me fuckers that could parallel the narrative haunters!

My Non-Canon Otp: Gustholomule. I like my stupid boys.

Most badass character: Edalyn! I mean, look at her harpy form!

Most epic villain: Belos.....

Pairing I am not a fan of: Lunter. I don't mind people who ship it but they are strictly platonic to me.

Characters I feel the writers screwed up: I mean the narrative certainly screwed Evelyn and Caleb over (I can't think of anybody right now)

Favorite friendship: Luz and Hunter! And oh oh, Lilith with Hooty and Steve! And Darius with Raine and Eberwolf and and peace and love on planet earth :)

Character I most identify with: Luz. She is so me.

Character I wish I could be: Raine because they have Eda and I don't (Please call me back Eda the kids miss you)

uhhhh toh, raeda, and thennnnnn caleb

Ok wow this was a lot and ended up taking a hot minute, but anyways

001 | The Owl House:

Favorite character: Luz Noceda, I am a basic "Main Character Enjoyer" bitch like that

Least Favorite character: This is hard because all of the characters are so good in their intended role, but if I had to pick the one that I dislike the most as like, a person? Tibbles. The only thing worse than a Genocidal Maniac Tyrant is a capitalist.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Help me I have too many ships I like. I am a serial multi/poly crackshipper. Saying Lumity and Raeda feel like cheating, so I will be giving my top five crackships/rarepairs, in no particular order. Camilraedarius, Skara/Luz, Emira/Viney, Skara/Viney and Skara/Boscha.

Character I find most attractive: Probably Emira, for reasons that will become evident soon.

Character I would marry: Oh this is a tough one... most characters are either significantly older or significantly younger than me so picking one feels weird... Hooty will treat me right, I just know it.

Character I would be best friends with: Luz. We could bond over being neurodivergent and enjoying fanfiction and shipping.

a random thought: Emira's hair gives me gender envy

An unpopular opinion: The entire show should be replaced with Lumity screentime Honestly my opinions are pretty basic, and I'm also really bad at knowing what opinions are unpopular, but the one opinion I could see getting me crucified is that I don't have that strong an opinion on Huntlow? I see its value as a ship, but I don't have strong personal feelings on it.

My Canon OTP: LUMITY. They're the whole reason I even got into this show.

My Non-canon OTP OT5: Ok, listen, hear me out here because I'm about to sound completely insane, but Luz/Amity/Willow/Skara/Boscha. I realize this doesn't make me seem less insane but I had to get it off my chest. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Most Badass Character: Amity, her fight scenes are amazing.

Most Epic Villain: Kikimora Belos told her to go find a hole to die in, and she did. Truly the most henchperson of all time.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Picking from actually semi-prevalent ships, probably Boschlow? I'll still devour fanfiction about it given the option, but especially in canon I don't think it works.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): The Writers? None. Disney by shortening the show? The Covenheads.

Favourite Friendship: Luz and Hunter, though they're more like siblings so does it still count?

Character I most identify with: S3 Luz

Character I wish I could be: EMIRA GIVE ME YOUR HAIR I WANT IT

002 | Raeda:

When I started shipping them: I have very few memories of my early time in the fandom, which was quite late, so basically for as long as I can remember

My thoughts: That one screenshot of Raine bridal carrying Eda with That Expression™... yeah...

What makes me happy about them: How they were so in sync even as kids and stuck together for so long until...

What makes me sad about them: ...they were torn apart by the curse.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: I know a lot of them were written before we even knew Raine existed, but Camileda fanfiction where Raine isn't acknowledged still bothers me.

Things I look for in fanfic: Established Raeda is always fun in AUs, bonus points if it's Camilraeda and they are all raising Luz, Vee and King.

My wishlist: NOW KISS

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Frequently bought together DO NOT SEPARATE! but I guess if I have to then Camila for Eda and I guess I could see Darius for Raine?

My happily ever after for them: They get married and help take care of Luz and Hunter with Camila.

003 | Caleb:

How I feel about this character: He wife guyed too close to the sun and it's still haunting the narrative. Iconic.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: His wife Evelyn, duh.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: His connection to Hunter, if you can call that a relationship.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I'm not super interested in like a flashback to his time in Connecticut to be honest, I'd enjoy seeing more of his time and relationship with Evelyn, but his time in Gravesfield isn't that compelling to me

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: One thing I think could have some really neat potential is if he somehow could have a heart-to-heart with Hunter. I think that could be fascinating.

Favorite friendship for this character: I mean, there aren't exactly a lot of options but I think he and Luz could be great friends.

My crossover ship: Caleb X Not Dying

#the owl house #I am not tagging all the characters mentioned here #no way #smokestarrules #I don't get to talk about The Owl House nearly as much as I'd want to because none of my friends outside of Tumblr are into it #and on Tumblr I am but a humble reblogger with no original posts so I only really interact with the community through tags and replies #so I have a lot of pent up energy
