Hey, @sokkas-first-fangirl psssst! Remember the idea I told you about? Do you fancy a *opens coat* sneak peek?

🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉

Hunter is not afraid. 

That is the most surprising part about all of this. The complete and utter lack of fear. Here he is, back in the throne room. Back where it all started all these years ago. Him, younger and clueless, kneeling before his emperor and waiting to receive his new rank, the highest honor of his life. 

Golden Guard. 

Golden. As in precious. Valuable. Worthy. 

He is older now. Maybe still clueless in a lot of ways, but not quite as naive anymore. 

Golden. As in reflective. Empty. Cold. 

A useless bauble, one of many in the emperor's chain. 

He is not kneeling now. The urge is ever present, this ingrained need to get down, get low. Make yourself small. One knee on the ground, the other foot flat on the floor, knee in front of you and up. One arm resting on the raised knee, hands fisted, but not clenched. That is important. Too tense and he'll think you are hiding a failure, too relaxed and he'll question your training. There is a science to kneeling just the right way. Don't get down too quick or you'll hurt your knee, but also don't get down too slow or you will wobble too much. It's a dance. A choreography. One he has learned for years and fallen back on in times of uncertainty and fear. 

So his leg twitches, his balance is shot. 

But he'll be damned if he kneels even one more second in front of this false prophet. 

Kneeling or not, Belos still towers over him. Stares down at him with eyes full of rage and disappointment. 

The fear is still missing. 

But that's actually worse. 

Hunter feels nothing. There is an emptiness inside of him, a black hole sucking in all the emotions he should be feeling and can't. He tries to tell himself that it's a good thing. Unc- Belos, doesn't deserve his fear. Doesn't deserve to feel even more superior than he certainly does already. 

Hunter doesn't confuse this emptiness with bravery though. 

Luz would have been brave. She would have stared Belos in the eye and declared war. Would have stood tall and strong. 

If Hunter had gone along with her insane plan, that is. 

"Let us switch places.", she had whispered into his ear as they and their friends had been under fire. "I'm sure Gus can hold up the illusion long enough." 

Hunter had stared at her and for a second he'd been tempted. The idea of facing Belos had sent a shiver down his spine, had filled him with an unimaginable horror. But then he'd seen through Luz's confident smirk and the fire in her eyes and he'd seen the same kind of fear, the same horror. 

Not a daredevil plan. Just plain desperation. 

So he'd pushed her away, pushed his own fear away, so far down that he now can't find it again, and had told her "No way!" 

And now he is here. Captured and alone. 

Belos seems to be waiting for something, pleading maybe. Begging for forgiveness. But Hunter knows this game even if he hasn't been the best player until now. Begging only makes things worse. Pleading only opens yourself up for even more cutting remarks, a slap to shut up your babbling, more baggage whispered into your ear. Presumed faults and failures. 

Always failing. Never good enough. 

But now he at least knows why. Of course never good enough. How could a copy ever be as good as the original?

He'd been set up for failure from the minute he'd been born (made?). 

Oh yes. Hunter knows this game. And he is done playing. He is done losing over and over again, pretending that he ever had a chance in the first place. 

Time for the ultimate Game Over. 

The thought should terrify him. 

It doesn't. 

Hunter keeps silent, looks somewhere between Belos' eye and his ear. And waits. 

Finally the emperor shakes his head. A sigh leaves his lips. Vaguely, Hunter wonders how a monster like that can have such a kind voice. 

"You have disappointed me greatly, Hunter." 

Hunter sucks in a breath and finally meets those cold, calculating eyes. 

Time to fold his cards. Time to concede the match. 

"Just like Caleb did?" 

The silence is thick with tension. Belos is motionless, hands still clasped behind his back. 

And then he smiles. Soft and gentle. 

Ah. There it is. 

The fear. 

******

Idea for a canon divergence: what if Hunter and Luz hadn't switched places?

hey you!! do you like fusions?? self indulgent canon divergent aus full of stuff fans might have asked for??? WHAT ABOUT PLATINUM BONES (KING AND COLLECTORS DYNAMIC)?? then have i got the deal for you!!!!

from the foreword on the doc:

Nightingale is a “what if” canon divergent exercise that asks the bold question of “what if Collector still had a blobby goopy true form? And what if King was able to fuse with that and get cool super powers so he could also look cool and pose with Titan Luz and Harpy Eda?” And so was born Nightingale!

read their story here! have fun!

Eda nothlit!Luz: Part One

She was a sweet, poetic kind of girl. The kind bullies love to pick on. She used to have short, out-of-control hair and dreamy eyes that always seemed to be looking at something no one else could see.

Used to...

Now she has striking, fierce eyes that look through you like laser beams. Now she has long gray hair, and ghostly white skin, and an angular face, and clawed hands, and an imposingly tall stature.

A piece of Belos landed on Luz instead of Hunter when he was splattered to the wall by the Collector. In the Human Realm, the unhealed scar he gave her gives Belos an opening into her body, and he slips into her system unnoticed. During Halloween, he takes control of her when she and Hunter come across a vial of Titan’s Blood. While confessing to her loved ones that she helped Belos find the Collector and showed him the Light Glyph, Luz attempts a murder-suicide on the emperor by trying to drown herself in the graveyard swamp’s waters with him in her body after she regains control. They both survive, but the possession severely prostrates Luz and covers her in scars by the time Belos leaves her body to return to the Demon Realm using the Titan’s Blood. Luz chases him to the other side of the portal with what little strength she has, her mother and friends following her.

Back in the Boiling Isles, nobody knows how to save Luz when she starts to waste away after collapsing a few feet from the portal. When she reaches the point between life and death, her spirit meets King’s father in the In Between Realm. He gives her the power to morph and tells her that she already has Eda’s DNA in her from the “body swap” spell, which was actually a morphing spell. She is able to transform into a genetic copy of Eda with the location of an Escafil Device in the Demon Realm and the knowledge of where on planet Earth another morphing cube is imparted to her by the Titan before returning to the mortal plane, but discovers that her newfound morphing powers can’t heal her unmorphed form since there is still some of Belos’s unremovable essence within her human body which - instead of being purged - is sent into Z-space along with her original form by morphing and takes effect again if she demorphs. She becomes a nothlit - a person who lost their morphing powers because they got trapped for the rest of their life in a morph by staying morphed for more than two hours at a time - to safely shunt away the leftover part of Belos that had been slowly killing her forever, though her palisman egg that she brought to the Demon Realm does not hatch despite her finally achieving her dream of becoming a witch.

Realizing that the Titan screwed her over as much as he saved her life, Luz becomes even more despondent and begins to doubt her relationship with Amity could still work now that everyone will think she is too old to be having even a crush on a 14-year-old witch. Camila can’t look at her without getting uncomfortable or sad because the body Luz trapped herself in is to her mom the copied body of a complete stranger, which leads her to think that her mother is acting as though she really did die; this gets Luz wondering if she is even still Luz or if her late father Manny would still be Manny if he gained morphing powers and used them to nothlit into another body to cure the terminal disease he had, which in my story was genetic and thus could not have been removed through any other means. Amity assures her that a way for Luz to regain her morphing powers which comes with the restoration of her human body will be found when they get their hands on an Escafil Device, and the team tries to cheer her up by saying they do not blame her for the Day of Unity as Belos manipulated her; Hunter even states that Belos most likely would've used somebody else instead if he hadn’t used Luz, while Camila asserts that she does not think she lost Luz just because her child’s only two options were to get stuck in a morph or die. Her resolve back, Luz declares it is time to fight back against the emperor.

Have fun making fanfics and fan art out of that, everyone!

My name is Luz. A freak of nature. One of a kind. I won't tell you my last name. I can't tell you my last name. Or the name of the city where I live. I want to tell you everything, but I can't give any clues to my true identity. Or the identity of the others. Everything I will tell you is true. I know it's going to seem unbelievable, but believe it anyway. I am Luz. I'm a normal kid, I guess. Or used to be. I used to do okay in school. Not great, but not bad either. Just okay. I guess I was a dweeb, kind of. Big, but not big enough to keep from getting picked on. I had brown hair, kind of wild because I could never get it to look right. My eyes were . . . what color were my eyes? It's only been a few weeks, and already I'm forgetting things about my human self.

Let it be known to the council that Darius Deamonne, C.H. has been found to have a personal relationship with the Grimwalker known as “Hunter Wittebane” that may affect his ability to accurately asses Wittebane’s sentience and mental stability away from his creator. As such, his role as assessor shall be filled by Dr. Alador Blight, a fourth-level member of the Abomination Coven. Dr. Blight, as an impartial third party, shall conduct final interviews with Wittebane before the council reaches a decision pertaining to Wittebane’s request for a certificate of sentience and citizenship of the Boiling Isles.

Hunter’s eyebrows steadily climb up towards his hairline as he reads, and he lowers the paper to give Darius a baffled look. “They picked Alador to be your replacement?”

“Why do you seem so concerned?” Darius huffs. “This is honestly the best situation we could have hoped for, once they removed me from your case. Alador knows just as well as I do that you're a real person, and you know he's going to sign off on your interview immediately.”

“That's the thing,” Hunter says slowly. “He's not exactly…” He glances down at the notice again. “An impartial third party.”

“Yes, well.” Darius clears his throat and makes a minute adjustment to his cape, like it’s not already hanging perfectly. “The council doesn't know that he and I are engaged, so keep that to yourself.”

#the owl house #toh #toh fic #toh hunter #Darius deamonne #toh Darius #aladarius #me: what if I wrote a dramatic angst modern au where hunter is trying to get emancipated so he can leave his abusive uncle #also me: or what if I wrote a canon divergence comedy where hunter has always known he's a grimwalker #and is trying to be legally recognized as a witch before belos can kill him #so it's just a ridiculous courtroom drama set in crazy fantasyland with secret relationships and dadrius #tbh I'm probably never going to write this because it would be insane #so if someone feels inexplicably inspired by this nonsense feel free to view it as a prompt

Here's another snippet of my Alador divorces Odalia Early au. This takes place waaaaay off in the future when Luz shows up and I have to worry about what I changed about canon. But for now I don't, so here:

"Is Graye going to be there," Amity asked Gus.

"Graye? Who's that," Luz asked from her place on the floor with King

"Oh, no one important."

"No one important? No one important!" Gus shook with excitement as he paced around the room. "He's only the greatest illusionist of all time! He's the head of the Illusion Coven! Of course he's going to be there!"

"Gus really admires him," Willow said as she leaned down to give King more pets.

"Oh, well, then I can't go," Amity told them.

"Why not?"

"I'm not allowed to go to conventions when Graye is there. He's my dad's ex."

"YOUR DAD DATED ADRIAN GRAYE?!"

"Gus!" Willow yelped as Gus shoved his way onto the couch and climbed over her to reach Amity.

TW: Child Abuse (more in notes of fic)

—

“I don’t think I need to.” Hunter sat down in front of the door, “You know, I saw a lot of first aid kits hidden around the house. You put those there, right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Yes, you do.” Hunter said knowingly, “I know you do. Just like you know about all the sentimental items hidden in your room.” The girl was suspiciously silent, “I have that stuff, too, you know?”

—

AKA: Darius should have figured out that Hunter wasn’t safe with his Uncle before things went this far. Afterall, Hunter himself had already shown him just how to identify abused kids years ago.

(Also, I’m assuming Coven Scouts are like glorified police.)

Chapter 1 of Gilded Lily

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48497008

This little doodle accompanies a story I wrote or began to write. It's about Luz and Hunter, two childhood friends as they stumble into the Demon Realm during their summer vacation.

They both follow Owlbert into an old abandoned house.

You know the drill.

!!TOH idea vomit bc I can't stop thinking abt it,,!!

Canon divergence where Belos was able to gain control of the Collector when his moss,, shit got on them. And in doing so was able to control all the puppets

It isnt something Luz can handle herself. Luckily, shes got help

Or! Hexsquad ALL get titan forms bc I said so

• Luz is still the one with access to all the glyphs tho. Amity, Gus and Willow all get their respective glyphs (Im not 100% sure if theres an illusion/abomination glyph but hey its possible,, i think) and their magic is just amplified in their titan forms

• Hunter doesn't really get a glyph though he's faster with his teleportation magic AND!! he's the only one out of all of them to get wings. Big, red cardinal wings :'))

While Luz deals with Belos himself with Eda and King, Hexsquad is in charge of rounding the puppets like in canon but fighting them off while also trying to subdue the possessed Collector (remember they're Titans now so they have a chance against him)

Luz is ultimately the one who gets rid of Belos which unpossesses the Collector and uses a huge light glyph to unpuppet everyone (bc I want them to see the power of the Titans, dammit)

*Very indulgent bc i really love Luz's Titan form but i also kinda wish we saw Hexsquad do a bit more in the finale,,,,

Hhh I wish I had access to my iPad rn bc I'm itching to at least sketch this out lol.

Edit: Managed to sketch it out,,

Hc: (This headcanon is canon divergent. In it, Philip and Caleb were born in the town of Gravesfield.)

The "Tales Of The Brother's Wittebane" story was slightly incorrect with some noticeable inaccuracies and one of those inaccuracies were the choice of clothing for the Philip and Caleb puppets in the beginning.

Those outfits were ones that the two would wear to church.

They should have been wearing their casual og outfits + Caleb seemed a bit older and taller (he should have been younger and shorter).

Belos is more interesting when hes written to be irredeemable

[bakedbananners]

I know Luz did what she needed to do but could you imagine for a second that Belos was able to go through the portal unchallenged.

The man who spent centuries(?) becoming a false prophet and dictator and subjugating and killing so many living things (and his own brother over and over and over and over again) to extend his life, twisting himself into some inhuman shape, all for the chance to return to his world as a hero, fully believing what he did was morally right and for the good of the world…

Only to return to a place that has become just as unrecognizable to him as the Boiling Isles was, a place that doesn’t know or care about him, where he would have been taken for a fool and laughing stock, to die alone and unknown. That’s a fate worse than death, and it’s exactly what he’d deserve.

#it’s like just processing the events again… #the collector still could have removed the spell while Belos left through the portal I guess #canon divergence material right there #toh #the owl house #toh spoilers #emperor belos #phillip whittebane #me talking

Melancholy

Instead of separating his best friend from his other friends, the Collector decides to follow them into a fun-looking portal. What he didn’t know was that it was the Human Realm! And even worse, his magic doesn’t work!

Extra:

- Why the Collector doesn’t have powers: he draws his power from the Demon Realm, but since he’s in the Human Realm, he’s powerless.

- The Collector is very sad, lonely, and bored because no one wants to play with him. He feels it is only him and King against the world, at least in the Collector’s eyes.

- King tries to convince everyone to get along with the Collector, but everyone is hesitant to do so.

- Camila is the first to warm up to him, even though he is acting like a brat, and the Collector wants her to be his mom.

- If it isn’t clear, this is a redemption fic.
