Cyan.

Meteor shower, quick, take cover But the hues in our hair complement one another I'd sell my own bones for sapphire stones 'Cause blue's your favorite color

Cavetown, 'Meteor Shower'

To be honest, I can't tell the difference between cyan and blue very well, so some of the examples between these might be mixed up a bit (some of the ice scenes I talked about in the blue posts might fit better here?)

Like the other colors, cyan is introduced to us before we see the actual character combination it represents.

The first time we see cyan is in Contagi-Anne - the Peak of Health.

The water is still a little green here, admittedly, but not nearly as green as it was in, say, Best Fronds.

Hop Pop's wrestling outfit in Hop-Popular is also cyan.

It's the outfit he wears when he stands up for the citizens of Wartwood. When he makes his declaration that all of this is about more than just him. It's also the outfit he's wearing when the citizens rally to show their support and get him the new stall.

Cyan is also present in the glowing butterflies that surround the Mossman.

We know that Mossmen are quite capable of growing plants, and it's also possible that they have healing properties - I'd like to remind you of this exchange:

Wally: I seen it once. Deep in the moors where it makes its home and feeds on mist. Skin of moss, it had. Took me hand clean off, it did. Anne: You have both your hands, Wally. Wally: [gasps] Lefty! When did you get back?

Cyan, therefore, is a color that represents healing. It represents life and growth. And it represents comradeship and rapport.

It's the Marcanne color.

The entire scene where Anne and Marcy reunite is so extremely cyan. It's an entire six minutes of Marcy at the Gates where they are completely framed by a blue sky (note that Amphibia's sky is usually slightly green) and the lagoon surrounding Newtopia. It must be very cathartic for Anne to see Marcy again, especially after how worried she was about her at the start of the episode.

Marcy's bedroom is a mixture of blue, cyan, and occasional purple, but I thought this shot in particular was cyan.

And there's one other, very, very, important thing that's cyan.

Life. Growth. Healing. Supporting others.

Anne's power.

Not Darcy, no no no, it's Andiras and everyone else possessing Marcy. I know Sasha takes Hunters place in this AU but she does not end up possessed that's still Marcys thing. She doesn't die nor Joe Sparrow.

She's also in her, what do you call it? Mind scape out? Don't know. And her infection pattern is in the shape of her helmet.

Development

Crimson was the final creation of the main cast. She was originally a scrapped minor character serving as a meaner alternative to Eloise (then named Skye), but Ellie evolving from “Queen Bee” to “just sorta aloof” necessitated her return and overhaul. Her presence in conjunction with Aziz, Scarlett, Tyler, etc., combined with Ingrid and Martin being far less virtuous in ICT also helps round out the gang as less goody-goody. Of course, becoming a lead meant Crimson had to become nicer…and far more theatrical.

I think they were planning for Marcy to really die in True Colours, but were forced to write her as having survived in season 3.

Some fans have pointed out how her "death" didn't amount to much, and seemed to just be for shock value, but there is one important thing it accomplished: it incapacitated her for the entire season.

If she was originally written as being dead, then they wouldn't have needed to rewrite much, she plays almost no role in any episode whatsoever. In Olivia and Yunnan, she's just a goal for them to achieve, you could easily replace her with some other ally they need to rescue, or mcguffin they need to retrieve, even the scene of her being possessed could be them getting their mind-control collars put on.

In All In, her character arc was nice, but it didn't affect anything else, it could easily have not been there originally.

In The Hardest Thing, her only role was to be a part of the initial attempt to stop the moon. Again, that could've been done without her, and we would still have Sasha to tell the Plantars what Anne was planning.

Darcy also had no purpose, or reason to exist at all. We were already introduced to the Core's body in season 2, and it was intimidating, we didn't need a new one, especially one that's smaller and much more vulnerable. The Core's been a robot for millennia, why does it all of a sudden "crave a host"? Especially from a race it plans to wipe out? It seemed like an attempt to retroactively insert more Marcy into the season, using a character they'd already included in the story.

It would also fit perfectly with the parallels to Andrias and his friends, as well as the general theme to losing loved ones. Andrias's friends died before he could reconcile with them, just like Marcy would've died before Anne and Sasha could forgive her.

It also would've been the perfect time to kill off a character too. Just as you're moving onto this big war storyline, you show the audience that characters can die, making the stakes feel more real.

Yes both times were about amphibia, no I am not okay

#amphibia #the episodes are 'true colors' and 'the hardest thing' if your wondering #it might be my bad memory but i can't remember a show making me feel this sort of way #like obviously ive felt dread and fear but never a physical response like this #steven universe and infinity train come VERY close though #i think my reaction is further exacerbated by the fact that ive been following and watching the show since it was announced in 2018 #I've still havent seen the episode yet and but i dont think anything too bad will happen #like as much as i love angsty theories and headcanons i doubt they'll hurt our characters that much in the last episode #i do think its gonna have a bittersweet ending though #my post

[detentiontrack]

THANK YOU FOR ASKING! I have been dying to talk about it. @banyanas

Sasha Waybright was traumatized before amphibia even happened, and here's why (coming from someone who is studying to be a psychologist and also has trauma):

Notes:

I am only going based off of things that are canon, and while I do have headcanons and suspicions on what exactly her trauma is, I don't have canon evidence to back it up, so I'm just going to go over the SYMPTOMS of trauma I see in her

Cognitively and behaviorally, Sasha is not normal. I feel like a lot of people see her blonde mean girl Californian cheerleader traits and just sort of assume she's your stereotypical mean girl. What they fail to remember is that Sasha is 13, and her motivations are different. Sasha is not a mean girl in the sense that she is mean to others for power or just to be mean. Sasha does use her social status occasionally (Ie threatening Margo w not inviting her to her pool party in the reunion flashback scene), however Sasha's mean acts do have a purpose. Sasha believes that she alone knows whats best, and to help those that she loves, she needs to take full control. She feels like Anne can ONLY have a good birthday if they skip school. She believes that they can ONLY go home if they execute Hop Pop. She believes that they can ONLY be happy if Sasha has control of amphibia and the box. She feels like the only way to take care of people and herself, is to be in complete control, and that is extremely common in victims of trauma who feel like they can't trust or rely on anyone.

Her manipulation skills are also developmentally abnormal. A well adjusted 13 year old with no adverse life experiences would not have such an extensive history of manipulating. In Jail break, Sasha says that a tactic she uses all the time is to "Make everyone love you, and they'll do whatever you say." Sasha has the ability to talk her way out of almost any negative situation and easily take charge. This is also really common in people with trauma and an unstable life. Often times, someone might have to talk their way out of being harmed, or to have their needs met that weren't otherwise.

Sasha has a complicated relationship with the concept of family. She has not mentioned her parents even once throughout the show, whereas Anne and Marcy have. In the reunion flashback, Sasha acts as if Anne going home to her parents is a bad thing. She remarks on how babyish Anne's party is, and she doesn't seem to understand that it's not even the party Anne wants, but to spend time with her family. In True Colors, Sasha says in a cutting tone "Say hi to your parents for me" as she thinks that she's sending Anne back to earth forever. Her tone implies irritation that Anne even has parents she wants to go home to, and perhaps even jealousy.

Sasha was fully prepared to live in and rule amphibia once she took over Newtopia in true colors. She did not want to go home after not seeing earth or her family in 5 months.

When Marcy confesses, Sasha's first thought is anger at the betrayal, not missing her home.

Back on the topic of what's developmentally normal, I found the scene of when Sasha first met Anne and Marcy interesting, although I could be reaching. Once baby Sasha aggressively gets the bullies off the the swings, she starts to walk away. She is surprised when Anne and Marcy introduce themselves and ask if she wants to play with them. At 5 years old, Sasha had the idea that she was only useful and wanted when she was doing something for other people. At 5 years old, a person without adverse experiences would not have this mindset.

The Marcy journal filled in some of the gaps about her parents. It confirmed the theory we all had since froggy little Christmas that Sasha's parents are divorced, and had been divorced since she was "4 or 5". Her father remarried and her mother has a long term boyfriend with kids of his own. In this entry, Anne says that she didn't know a ton about Sasha's home life and Sasha has always been very private about it. She says that Sasha always felt "lost at sea when it comes to family" and speculated that maybe that's why Sasha always kept her and Marcy under her thumb. This entry really hit gold in terms of understanding Sasha because it's when a bunch of possibilities clicked into place when I first read it. Sasha, Anne, and Marcy, despite having issues, were very close. The fact that Sasha didn't share anything about her homelife in the 8 years they were friends, is a HUGE red flag. Divorce is not inherently trauma, however if it's handled poorly, then it can be very bad and traumatic. Even if you take away the possibility of Sasha being directly abused, it's still really difficult to watch her parents fight before and during the divorce process. The state of California typically likes to give 50/50 custody, so it's difficult for her to go back and forth to her parents houses while watching them get into new relationships. She felt lost at sea and abandoned during all of it, and she felt like she couldn't even tell her best friends. In situations like this, especially so young, a person really can develop and strong and tough exterior, while also learning skills for manipulation and taking control when you feel you're in a situation that is out of your control. Sasha Waybright is 13 years old, and she was able to immediately become a Lieutenant to the toad army and then later a Commander of a resistance during a war. Sasha Waybright has numerous markers of someone who has gone through a life of uncertainty, abandonment, hurt, and neglect.

What I Thought About “For the Future” from The Owl House

Salutations, random people on the internet who are already skipping past this! I am an Ordinary Schmuck! I write stories and reviews and draw comics and cartoons!

…So, “For the Future” got leaked, like, two weeks ago. And everyone hated that.

Well, the people who were going to pirate the special anyways due to their “legitimate” reasons loved it. But for the fans who wanted to support The Owl House while it was on its last legs? Yeah, needless to say, people were angry.

And the special got leaked for dumb reasons, too! Some dumb-dumb from iTunes accidentally put the episode up early for people to buy and then proceed to spread like wildfire. Because when you make a mistake like that, you need to correct it the SECOND that after it’s been made. Let it linger, and you’ll come to regret it.

Some compared it to the situation with Amphibia and the episode “True Colors,” but I wouldn’t really say it’s THAT bad. There, it was carelessness on Disney’s part to delay the episode SUPER last minute and not warn iTunes to do the same. Here, it genuinely seems like an accident caused by some dumb dipstick not paying attention. It’s one of those situations where NO ONE could have prepared for it, least of all the fans who found out too late that the leak happened and spoilers were already flooding EVERYTHING. Miraculously, I made it through the whole two weeks by only seeing ONE genuine spoiler. I’m honestly amazed by that.

And for those saying they have “legitimate reasons” for pirating the special, there’s no legitimate reason to LEAK it. Doing that is disrespectful for the show and the people who work on it, hurting the viewership and numbers they need to know people liked it. Plus, if you don’t care about that, it ruins the fandom experience, because it leaves fans with no outlet to share theories and thoughts about the special without fear that they’ll lure in anyone ready to spoil everything. I remember when the trailer finally came out, I felt SO hyped yet SO angry because I couldn’t talk about ANY of it. That’s what happens when you leak a special from a series people love.

Now, the question is this: Was it worth it?

Well, no. It’s never worth ANYTHING to screw over a show like this. But was it worth the wait? I mean, despite the quality of the special, it’s always worth waiting to support The Owl House the RIGHT way.

But to humor the dinguses who leaked “For the Future,” let’s dive in and see how good it really is.

*Spoilers below…even though you probably already know everything that happens by now*

WHAT I LIKED

Showing Us What Happened: Off to a great start already!

A part of me, going in, was a little hopeful that the special would begin with Luz and the others coming to the Boiling Isles and learning what happened as they went on. I figured that the expectations of what the Collector would do the second he has the freedom to go nuts would have been too high to live up to, so it'd be for the best...not to show it. With that said, I don't mind that the writers did. It gives us a taste of what's to come while, to my surprise, living up to so many expectations I had. We get to see the damage the Collector causes, what they do to the people on the Isles, and how a few people react to it.

Plus, a few bonus stuff within that.

Lilith Going to Save King: Have I ever mentioned how much I adored Lilith changed since Season One? This woman went from snobby to throwing herself at a literal god to save her nephew. It backfired immediately, but at least she was kind enough to try.

Though, quick note, maybe don't show Lilith getting transformed. Hooty is fine because he never turns back, but if Lilith is going to change back off-screen anyways, you might as well not change her at all. We see a lot of others get spared off-screen, so why NOT make it the same with her? Speaking of which…

The Collector Turning People into Puppets: It's not the worst fate in the world, but it's not the best. Sure, everyone's still alive, and the Collector--THANKFULLY--doesn't torture them. Yet that doesn't change how this is something truly twisted. These people...are not sentient. About anything, really. They're only truly "alive" when the Collector is playing with them, and even then, they're not really all there. They're more like toys, which is pretty much the point. To the Collector, these people are nothing more than playthings to a higher being--Holy s**t, Tinella Nosa really DID call that, huh?

But, yeah, this is a decent way of establishing how the Collector is unlike any threat before. People might not be able to change back unless HE wills it so, meaning that for the characters to win, they need to convince the Collector to turn everything back to normal. Which, judging by how this episode ends...Yeah, good luck with that.

Oh, man, I just referenced something heavy. Time to balance it out with something sweet, STAT!

Eda and Raine’s Moment Together: You'll do.

This moment is short, but through visuals alone, there is SO MUCH that's delivered. There's the elation that they're both alive, Raine's worry (and maybe regret) for Eda now missing an arm, Raine already knowing and accepting that Eda's gotta go save King, and Raine being amazed (and possibly a little aroused) by the sight of Eda as a harpy. It's honestly everything I could have asked for and more, given that it's a perfect scene where the music and facial expressions say so much that words can't. What more can I say about it, really? Nearly two minutes in, this special got me hooked.

There’s Someone or Something in the In Between: And nearly three minutes in, and the special has got me INTRIGUED.

I'm honestly surprised how I almost forgot about that...person? Thing? Whatever they are/it is, I forgot about them because SO MUCH happens in this special that it nearly slipped my mind. And I truly hope the same won't be for the writers because I WANT to know what the deal is with this thing. Because from what we can tell, they're...trapped? Looks like it. It even looks like they were trying to get Luz's attention for help. I'm not sure what's going on, but that's what's fun about it. Not knowing something and wanting to figure out what it means is the basic, bare-bones necessity regarding storytelling. As long as we eventually get a satisfying answer, I don't mind being left in the dark for now. As long as, again, we DO get an answer. But I'm not worried about never getting one. These writers are pretty good at making one connective narrative this season.

Hunter’s Anger: For instance, this. Hunter's rage over wanting to kill Belos is not only justified in every conceivable way, but it also functions to make "For the Future" the direct carry-over from "Thanks to Them." Now, that's to be expected, but I'm glad that, even though Hunter's NOT the main character of this story, the writers didn't forget or gloss over what happened. The poor boy lost his best friend, who was the first thing ever to give Hunter any sense of true joy. I would honestly question a few things if he didn't act even the tiniest bit bloodthirsty. So, I'm glad the writers gave Hunter time to process his pain and anger rather than making him stoic or emotionless throughout "For the Future." I honestly thought they were going for the ladder, so I'm more than grateful to be wrong for once.

Luz Still Choosing to Stay Back in the Human Realm: Just as I'm grateful that THIS carried over too.

Luz's problems from "Thanks to Them" weren't fully addressed, so it's great that a good chunk of "For the Future" is about her learning to let go of her guilt. Even better, it's Camila who's the one to do it. I'll talk about their big scene together later, don't worry. But for now, I want to gush over how perfect it is that Camila's the one in the main cast who's trying to help Luz with her problem. The woman went from begging Luz to stay in the Human Ream to accepting that Luz would want to remain in the Boiling Isles. And not wanting to have Luz make a mistake she'd probably regret for the rest of her life, losing the close friends and family she's made there, Camila does all she can to make Luz feel better about herself. What's more spectacular about this is that Camila doesn't reveal Luz's turmoil to her friends. A.) It would put more strain on them than they already need. B.)It's not her place to. She respects Luz's privacy, and even when asking for help, she does nothing more than imply what's wrong. She wants to fix this herself because, well, she's a mom. Moms help their babies when they need it the most. And...dang it, if I didn't love Camila already, I love her even MORE now! It's so good!

Camila’s Hungry for Vengeance: Same thing with this. I’m right there with you, Gus. I’d PAY to see Camila beat the snot out of Belos with her bat.

Camila Trying to be Supportive: Emphasis on trying. Camila's still freaked out by pretty much everything around her and has a MILLION more questions every time she's greeted by something new or strange, but for Luz's sake, Camila does her best to be supportive. It's more evidence of why Camila's such a great mom. She might not fully get what to love about the Boiling Isles, but she tries. She tries than actual irredeemable monsters that cause true pain to their family. Speaking of...

Belos: Oh, I'll get to what this f**ker does soon enough, don't worry. But first, I want to discuss how much I liked what the writers did with Belos in this special. The fact that he's haunted by the sins of his past and completely ignores them says pretty much everything you need to know about Belos. He doesn't care about these spirits trying to guilt him. If anything, he gets angry, standing firm that he has nothing to be ashamed of, and there's nothing some random spirits will change about that. Nor does he care about life. He has these backup grimwalkers that are all nothing more than flesh puppets to him. These things can be people of their own, and Belos uses them to further his life and finish his misguided agenda. This man is bitter evil to the end, and I'm all for that. I like irredeemable villains.

Plus, I adore that despite the Collector being the primary threat this season, Belos is still the main antagonist. The dingleberry manipulates the situation to his desires, only now he's using the Collector as his latest tool. I am totally one-hundred percent on board with this decision because while the Collector is a decent threat, Belos makes more thematic sense as the show's big bad. His ideals go against everything the series stands for, about freedom, acceptance, and that it's ok to be whoever you want to be. He takes away and perverse so much of that, and it's all a part of why he's the best villain Disney's had in a while.

...Felt weird praising a scumbag like him for so long. Let's talk about a character that's actually a good person.

Willow Trying to Keep a Happy Face: I did NOT expect Willow to get as much attention as she did. Surprisingly, she manages to have the most engaging sub-plot in the special to me. Speaking as someone who tries their best to be upbeat despite tragedy, wanting to bring good vibes despite the current heartache, I can confirm it's not a healthy mindset to have at times. It's noble to lift spirits up, but it's for your own good to admit that...you're not feeling good. It makes me grateful for Willow's subplot, not only because of its great lesson but because it offers us so much more insight into her character than Seasons One and Two combined. Don't look at me like that. You know it's true. We all know that Willow's a kind person, but seeing how much that kindness puts a strain on her makes for something relatable and engaging to a lot of people.

It's also neat how her story connects with Hunter's. Willow wants to help cheer up Hunter, and Hunter wants to reassure Willow that he IS happy because he has her. It's truly sweet stuff while adding more fuel to the fire with this ship.

But as cute as they are, they ain't the OTP.

Luz and Amity Talking About Palismens: Such a sweet moment between these two!

The backstory behind how Amity got Ghost doesn't offer much that we already didn't know, but it is sweet that she says it to help cheer Luz up. After Luz helped Amity out of her goth phase, she's doing the same, offering the same amount of kindness Luz has been delivering for years. It's...perfect, to be honest, as it shows how much these two will always balance each other out when one is more in the dumps than the other. I love it, and weirdly enough, I love the pain I felt when Luz moved away when Amity kissed her head. Because Luz is so dead set on leaving at this point, she's already trying to create distance between herself and Amity. It hurts to see but in the best way possible...but that DOES mean I could use a little sweetness. Let's double back a bit and discuss a pair that ISN'T romantic (unless you ask my buddy @l-egionaire).

Gus and Willow’s Little Moment: We REALLY needed more scenes like this with these two. We get a story about Willow cheering Gus up when he had a bad day. Through this, we REALLY get a good sense of their bond and why they make good friends (again, unless you ask @l-egionaire). They're...screw-ups who, a lot of the time, rely on each other to get out of their darkest days. Moreso with Gus than Willow because she's basically the older sister he never had (@l-egionaire, I'm sorry. I know it must be killing you to have me say that). It's genuinely adorable, and it's great that we at least got ONE scene this season about these two cute kiddies.

And while on the topic of cute kids…

The Collector: ...What? They're surprisingly adorable.

I might have said it before, but I adore how the writers make the Collector a kid. A kid that can kill us all if he wants, but still a kid. To the Collector, they don't really understand that what he's doing is wrong. It's all a game of pretend where they're a hero surrounded by friends who love him. It's very much NOT the case, but...Ok, do you know how a five-year-old would go out and mess with ants? It's like that. To the ants, it's f**ked up that this gigantic, unstoppable creature is killing them without mercy, but to the kid, they don't really see what's wrong with what they're doing. It's not like they're hurting a person. They're just hurting something small and insignificant. Well, to THEM at least.

It's why I can't really say the Collector is evil or even a villain. Not anymore, at least. I mean, would YOU call your kid evil for messing with something they shouldn't? Or would you say they're misguided and needs to learn what's good or bad? I'd say that describes the Collector perfectly, and I'm not the only one who thinks that.

King Guiding the Collector: A pretty smart move from a writer's standpoint. The Collector, in many ways, is a lot like King. At least, King if he didn't have Luz and Eda checking his ego every ten minutes. It's why King understands the Collector better than others: King KNOWS what it's like to be a kid. Since, well, he IS a kid. King's just one that was raised better and was given more of a moral conscience. So, not only does King try his best to lay boundaries for the Collector, but he's doing some ego-checking too. It's clearly exhausting, as the Collector doesn't easily take no for an answer, but it's something that still, albeit slowly, works. It's why I have no problems with King saying they can reason with the Collector. Mixed in with the understanding and the effort he made in reasoning with them, it makes sense.

Plus, how can you hate a kid who finds the perfect karmic justice for two old broads?

Odalia and Terra’s Roles: Both of these ladies deserved worse. Especially Odalia (I'LL GET TO THAT!). With that said, these are perfectly serviceable punishments. These are two women who hate children just as much as they hate receiving orders. So to have them forced to do everything a child says less they want to be destroyed is a great idea, even if I wish they suffered just a bit more. Because, you know, they deserve it for being such easy-to-hate characters...And since I've brought that up...

Matt: THANK FRICK THAT I DON'T HAVE TO CALL HIM MATTHOLOMULE ANYMORE! My spellcheck thanks you, writers!

Anyways--HOW DID I GO FROM HATING THIS STINK WEASEL TO LOVING HIM?! I'm not kidding. The kid's so...funny! He's a funny character whose false confidence and huge ego make for some good laughs! That was very much NOT the case in his introduction, what with him being, as I've said, a stink weasel, but the writers managed to make it work this time. Mainly because they actually wrote him to be a decent human being...You know what I mean.

A character like Matt works better when he's on the side of good. Use that ego and false confidence for someone that's a bit of a dick, and you're going to make a character that people will hate very effortlessly. That can be fine, as a character that people love to hate can be as enjoyable as one that we love to...love, but you got to do it carefully. Make them too despicable, then they're just going to be more annoying than funny, which was definitely the case for Matt in the beginning. And if you don't make them despicable enough, they'll be funny, but they're practically on their way to being one of the good guys anyways, so you might as well follow through on it. So, making Matt a good guy works better for the character and the audience. But that's just one Hexside student. How's the rest going?

New Hexside: Turns out pretty funny.

Now, initially, not at all. We quickly learned how Hexside reacted to the Day of Unity and the Collector's domination, and it really gets to me how real their reactions are. The fear and panic felt prevalent, and you feel bad for these poor kids as they're forced to witness the end of the world, helpless to stop it.

But after that delicious drama, it's not too long until the jokes come flooding back as we witness what happens when children are left in charge of a school for a few months. The results are exactly what one would expect, with everything being a beautiful series of chaos. The kindergartners are savages, kids eating paperclips, and the students raise a radical statue in Principal Bump's honor that wildly misrepresents him (although that underrated character very much does deserve a statue). It's all pretty good stuff that succeeded in getting a laugh out of me. But some things can be both funny AND heartwarming.

Amity Reuniting with Ed and Em: Like THIS little family reunion that I had hoped to see for MONTHS.

First, you get a touch of something heartwarming as Amity tearfully hugs her brother and sister, with Emira being the one to spin Amity around in an adorable display of affection. And then you have Ed...who runs at Amity in a full body cast, screams in pain as he forces his arms to bend to hug her, and reveals that he's like this because he fell in a well. This boy is the best kind of stupid, and I appreciate every bit of it. I have not laughed this hard with the show in...forever, so believe me when I say that I love this scene for that.

But that's enough wholesomeness and hilarity. Let's get to the ominous and...anxiety building.

The Collector’s Book: This is probably the closest we're going to get to any backstory or explanation of what the Collector is, so, you know...Appreciate it for what it does.

And as interesting as it all is, the lines that the Collector crosses out...gives me fear:

"But should they meddle in our affairs, we'll clean the planet and scorch the air."

Considering how this special ends, I am very much not looking forward to figuring out what THAT means.

I changed my mind. Can we go back to New Hexside? Things are fun there.

Boscha: ...Is it too late to change my mind on changing my mind? It is? Ok...

So, Boscha...I kind of like what they're trying to do with her. Would the special have benefitted by cutting her out? Maybe, but we get more out of Boscha here than the entire series. Now, I'm one of the few people who never cared that she didn't get any development. She was a static character that made for the perfect antithesis to Amity and rival to Willow. But that doesn't mean I'm against the writers trying something, and they...sure did try something. And that's making Boscha go bat-s**t insane without Amity. Ever heard of codependency? Because that's what Boscha's going through. She is so reliant on having relationships and people being with her that being forced to work on her own drives the girl to near insanity. It's why Boscha was willing to team up with the first little psycho she met. If the alternative was to be alone, then it's better to work for a lesser cause than a just one. At least, that seems to be the logic Boscha operates on, and to be perfectly honest, it makes me wish we had time for one more episode to dive deep into this idea with Boscha. What we get is a taste, and a dang good one at that, making it a little disappointing that we'll never explore this side of her again. As is, it's...fine. I like what the writers wer going for, but I just don't LOVE it. It's one of those ideas that would have benefited with more time, especially if the writers were going to force redemption out of her. And you want to know what else would have benefited from more time?

Eda, King, and Lilith’s Subplot: If "For the Future" was just ten minutes longer, I would REALLY adore everything about this little section of it. As is...Well, there's still a lot to love.

I love that Eda and King are still together. I genuinely didn't expect them to be this close this soon, but I'm not complaining. Eda and King sticking together despite this awful situation is something that all I'm here for, and I do adore that out of everyone in the Isles, it's these two that manage to live safely while under the nose of a god who has the potential to destroy everything with a temper tantrum.

I love that Eda's still keeping good spirits despite how dire things have become. She's joking around and taking the same risks she would take on any occasion. She even risks a lot by coming out to talk to Raine, which is just all kinds of bittersweet and absolutely in character for Eda.

And I LOVE that Eda's still cursed. I honestly thought the Collector would take the Owlbeast out of her, but no. She still has to deal with it, and Lilith is the one helping Eda brew potions, which is another little detail I can't help but admire. After causing her sister to deal with years of torture thanks to the curse, Lilith is paying things forward by making the potion Eda needs to stay normal, and it's great. Everything about this is great...My only complaint is that I wish this special was longer.

So much of what happens with Eda, King, and Lilith happens off-screen. Stuff like Lilith changing back, them all finding themselves in this comfortable situation, and researching how to beat the Collector are essential things for the story, and we don't get to see it happen. They don't show that stuff as a way to cut corners with a season with so much to do and little time to do it, and I can understand that. It's why I don't really HATE this for what it is. I just know that this section of the special would be a lot better if we saw more.

Ok, that’s a lot more negativity than usual in the LIKES section. Let’s go for more positivity.

The Return of the Memory Tweezers: I always love it when a series nears its end, it brings back something established in a previous episode. Especially a good one.

And that's what this is: A great callback that has plot relevance. Luz needs to remember something she's seen only once, so they might as well bring out the thing that gives a perfect memory...Let's hope none of the photos get destroyed. Luz has enough problems as it is. Being brainless isn't one of them.

And as much as I want to keep this positivity going…it’s time to get into it…

Belos Taking Over Raine’s Body: Does Dana Terrace hate Raine Whispers or something? Why does she take joy in letting them suffer?!

Once I saw Belos loom over Odalia and the other puppets, I felt so excited. FINALLY, that woman is going to get some real punishment for being the big b-word that she is! And then Belos jumped into Raine...and all that excitement turned into despair.

Odalia was RIGHT THERE! She would have made for a PERFECT meat puppet! Look at this:

That's some quality meat right there...That might be the most risque joke I've made when talking about this show...Ah well.

Anyways, as much as I do not like this, I can't say I hate it. Well, I DO hate it, but that's why I love it. I'm SUPPOSED to hate that Belos did this to Raine, just as I'm supposed to dread the gut wrench of a reunion when Eda finally clues into what happens...Yeah, not looking forward to that.

Can we go back to being positive?

Gus Knew Hunter was a Grimwalker: Oh, yeah. That'll do.

Fans called this one, but it's still pretty cool to have it confirmed. It kind of recontextualizes how Gus tried to cheer Hunter up with Cosmic Frontier. He gave Hunter something to connect with that also happens to help with his inner turmoil. It's pretty powerful, and it's reason #456 of why I love The Owl House: Future episodes make previous ones better now that you know what's going to happen.

There. That was pretty positive. Can we keep the positivity going?

Kikimora: No? Ok…

So, a LOT of people do not like Kikimora. She might be the most hated character in the series if Odalia Blight didn't exist (SHE WAS RIGHT THERE!). With that said...I love Kiki. She's such a chaotic little gremlin that I can't help but adore her antics. Take what she does in this special, for example. Her current grand plan is to be the queen of teenagers. It's so petty and ridiculous that I can't help but love it. If you hate her, I can't stop you. But I can't physically hate someone this chaotic.

Also, Kikimora is pretty adorable when not wearing a cone of shame. And Camila calling Kiki a little red kitten is the best. Man, I love Camila.

Camila and Luz’s Talk: I REALLY love Camila. I might even be IN love with her?

Can you be in love with a fictional character?

Never mind, I just heard what I asked. Let's, uh...pretend I didn't ask that and move on.

Joking aside...this scene is magical. Camila is far from a perfect woman or mother. She admits to that here and now, acknowledging her mistakes, apologizing for them, and promises to do better. It might not make her perfect, but it IS what makes Camila the best cartoon mom to me. She's a woman who tries her damnedest and owns up to mistakes she's made rather than deny that she's made any, like a wannabee meat puppet that I know (SHE WAS RIGHT THERE!). If there's any mother you want to aspire to be, it's, without a doubt, Camila. A woman who shows love when it matters the most, even if there were a few mistakes along the way. I appreciate her for what she is, and you'd better believe Luz does too.

Luz Wanted to be Understood: In "Hunting Palismen," Luz is asked a question: What does she want to be? That question never got answered, and after so many twists and turns, I forgot that was an issue for Luz. So, to have "For the Future" bring it back and finally answer what Luz wants to be. And I am blown away by that answer.

It's an obvious one, in hindsight. In the first episode, it's apparent that Luz's problem is that no one understands her. Not her teachers, classmates, or even her mother. So to have this moment of realizing how it feels to be understood by Camila, to have someone say, "I know how much it hurts to be you," it's an epiphany that Luz didn't know she needed. And the look on her face, mixed with the beautiful colors, makes for an image that gives me goosebumps for the pure joy I felt. And the joy keeps on coming. + Palisman

Luz Gets Her Staff: And she's frickin' happy about it!

GENUINELY happy! In "Thanks to Them," every time Luz smiled, it NEVER reached her eyes. You always saw the sadness she tried her hardest to fight. But here? Luz is grinning ear to ear and being her old goofy self again. And it is EUPHORIC to see my poor girl be the Luz I remember. I don't mind a main character going through an emo phase, just as long as it's just a phase. Funny enough, I prefer my favorite characters to be happy, not miserable.

Hunter’s Powers: The same goes for Hunter. The boy's a SUPERHERO! A lot of us predicted that he'd still do that dash thing with Flapjack inside him, but seeing it is a whole different thing together! Again, I love seeing my favs happy, even if there's a bittersweetness to Hunter's new joy.

But the positivity train doesn’t end there…

Stringbean: I LOVE HER ALREADY!

Stringbean is the cutest little bugger ever, and the fact that she shapeshifts is amazing. As far as we know, no other palisman can do this, making her the most unique one to ever exist. And that's perfect because a unique witch like Luz deserves a palisman that's as original as her. Plus, the others guessing what she might be is a great shout out to fans making the EXACT same theories.

Man, what a perfect, hopeful end to such a great--

Collector Wants to Play a New Game: MOTHER F**KER!

Yeah, believe it or not, the stakes somehow got HIGHER now that the characters are dealing with an ANGRY Collector. And I'm scared. I'm scared of what an angry Collector could mean for the future...pun unintended.

WHAT I DISLIKED

It Got Leaked: I'm not kidding. That's my ONLY complaint regarding "For the Future." We didn't deserve a special THIS GOOD early. I am so glad to have the patience to wait and even MORE relieved that I didn't get spoiled that much because watching this special with a more-or-less fresh mindset is an experience that proves why it's important to wait. The hype of counting down the days, even counting down the seconds, to watch a premier is all a part of the experience. I can't blame people for being a LITTLE impatient, especially if they thought it'd be better to watch it and not worry about spoilers, but to those who leaked it? You get a good ol' fuck you from your pal Ordinary Schmuck. This one is extra special because I didn't censor it.

But, not to worry. There's a chance to redeem yourself. Disney put up the entire special on YouTube, and you can watch it--FOR FREE!--if you live in these regions:

The US

The UK

Australia

Mexico

And other countries

If it's locked out of your region for some reason (and you're apparently so against getting a VPN), then I guess that's the ONLY excuse you have to pirate it. I don't condone it, but I learn my lesson on Reddit. Don't tell fans not to pirate The Owl House. They'll be extra salty about it. However, if you're NOT locked out, there's no excuse to NOT watch it. Clearly, paying for stuff is an issue for people, but since "For the Future" is now free and RIGHT THERE, why not watch it? Like, stow your hatred for Disney just a second, so you can give the people who worked tirelessly on this show the respect they deserve. Because if the views aren't getting close to the millions by the time I post this review, then I'M gonna be salty.

And, yeah, that's the only complaint I have regarding "For the Future."

...

…Also, some obviously cut corners due to not having enough time. Stuff like Boscha's redemption and the stuff regarding Eda, King, and Lilith happening off-screen are big ones to come to my mind. I'm not bothered by this because I fully understand why it's done, but it does leave one a tiny bit irked.

But, seriously, that's about it.

IN CONCLUSION

"For the Future" is another solid A episode! But are you really surprised anymore?

If I had to pick, I'd say I like "Thanks to Them" a LITTLE bit more, primarily because that one feels more like a standalone episode. With "For the Future," it feels more like set-up. It's still GREAT with some fantastic character moments, some surprisingly great scenes of development, and by somehow raising the stakes MORE than they already were! I may want it to stand out more on its own, but it's still necessary as we lead into the grand finale. Plus, considering how the writers have so much to do and very little time to do it, I don't mind a full special of set-up, even if a few corners were cut along the way. I'm still left with something great that I'll be watching and rewatching as I dream of what comes next in the future.

While also hoping, for the show's sake, nothing else gets leaked...Seriously, if ANYTHING about special Numero Tres gets leaked online, I might actually blow a gasket.

If my color theory is anything to go by, it makes sense that Andrias is light blue because he prioritized the responsibilities of running the kingdom and living up to his dad's expectations over anything else (including the kingdom's safety). Pink being the color representing protection and perseverance also suits Leif (note that she's a paler pink than Sprig). Barrel does fit with my association of green as a background color - but my read of pale green as representing pride makes absolutely no sense for him. I don't know, does Barrel have anything in common with Tritonio, Barry, and Gary?

For the ship ask game

Marcanne

(Though someone else probably already asked for this by now)

(Honest Ship Ask Meme)

Marcanne (holy hot damn there’s so many asking for this)

I like this ship, it’s very fluffy and adorable. Classic childhood best friends to lovers. Thinking about it in relation to Sashanne, I’ve seen it as a mirror of it, whereas Sasha was protective of Anne to the point of being a bully, Anne was protective of Marcy to the point of her not allowing Marcy to learn from her mistakes. However pretty quickly Anne learns that Marcy is able to take care of herself (Sasha’s “Maybe your better off without me” likely playing in her head when Anne first realizes this) and then they become more on equal footing, especially after Anne learns that Marcy was jealous of Anne’s social skills that she (Marcy) doesn’t have. Marcy very obviously loves Anne with her whole heart and would do anything for Anne (it must’ve been awkward for Anne reading about how much Marcy idolizes her when going through the journal for clues on getting back to Amphibia after True Colors). After returning home I can see Anne asking Marcy for help with studying and having study dates (which Sash would crash a few and get a bit jealous on how obvious they are) and after reuniting and eventually dating after 10 years apart, Anne and Marcy would talk for hours about scientific theories relating to amphibians and reptiles (and Anne being able to somewhat understand when she overhears Marcy and Sasha talk about psychology theories).

hey does anyone remember that one amphibia theory/analysis post from a while back that mentioned how anne and marcy seemed to have switched color palletes

#just. thinking. #bc ive seen some people say that they switched colors after the timeskip #but like. theyre colors have BEEN swapped. for a while #like just look at marcy's amphibia outfit he's covered in blue #and yeah doesnt really wear much green #but thats why i mentioned that one post bc it talked about how anne's pallette has green undertones or something #and how anne and marcy's environments have the other's color #as in theres lots of green where anne was dropped (wartwood) and lots of blue for marcy (newtopia) #so. yeah idk just thinking. #amphibia #marcy wu #anne boonchuy #jace rambles #k.txt

Ok, since Luz is officially carving her palisman, I’m going to take this last chance to try to predict what it’s going to be.

So, let’s start with the theories. We’ve got

Luz’s palisman will be a bat

Luz’s palisman will be a bird

Luz’s palisman will be an otter

Luz’s palisman will be a snake

Let’s start with number 1. This is one of the most popular theories, but I honestly can’t find much good evidence for it.

This is pretty much the only evidence I ever see for this theory, and when I looked through the show, I couldn’t find any more. We’ve got Luz’s phone case and tamagotchi avatar, both things she would’ve brought from the human realm, so they wouldn’t really factor into her arc in the Boiling Isles, which is what her palisman should represent, and a scene from a different show.

Most of the theories I’ve seen about this specifically relate to the tamagotchi and the Amphibia scene. Since Amity’s palisman, Ghost, is a white cat and her tamagotchi avatar, it would make sense for Luz’s palisman to be represented by her avatar. However, this doesn’t really seem to hold up. Tamagotchis come from the human realm, so Luz probably had her avatar a long time before the Boiling Isles, and it might just be there because it looks like her phone case, her other main method of communication. Most of this also relates to Lumity-the cat & bat soulmate stuff, the tamagotchis were used in lumity’s first official episode-and Luz’s palisman should really represent her and her growth, not her relationship with Amity. Also, Luz got her phone case before the Boiling Isles, and throughout the series, it’s her only link to her mother, so thematically, a bat would represent the human realm for her.

In addition to this, I think there’s already another pretty major character that a bat palisman makes way more sense for.

Yeah, Raine. Raine is pretty consistently associated with bats. They literally wear a bat mask and their rebellion was called The BATTs. We haven’t seen their palisman yet, but if we do, I think it’s incredibly likely that they’ll be the one with the bat palisman.

Number 2, Luz’s palisman will be a bird. This one is pretty straightforward. The Clawthornes, Luz’s adopted family, all have bird palismen. If Luz gets a bird palisman, that will symbolically make her a Clawthorne. This one feels a little weird because Luz’s arc through the show has been her discovering herself through the Boiling Isles, the Clawthornes, and her relationship with her family. Luz becoming a Clawthorne would disregard her growth with her mother, and I really hope it doesn’t happen.

3, Luz’s palisman will be an otter. This one is based solely on this one scene from Enchanting Grom Fright, and has no other evidence.

It’s a fun theory, but it’s got nothing else going for it. There are no otter motifs, we never see any other otters, and they don’t symbolize anything within the context of the show. The otter suit only appears here, and in a photo later in the episode, and I highly doubt that such a big and important reveal that’s been teased since episode 2 would have this little buildup.

4. Oh, boy this is a big one. Luz’s palisman will be a snake. This is probably the most popular theory, and it’s pretty obvious why. Unlike the otter theory, this one has a ton of evidence. Let’s start at the beginning.

The title card itself. On it, we can pretty obviously see Eda’s staff, with Owlbert in the O, and the last line of the H forming the actual staff. If we look at the rest of the title, we can see the exact same staff shape as the L, only upside down, leading directly to the S. S stands for and looks like a snake. That’s pretty good, but there’s more.

The opening shot of the series, a scene that represents Luz’s weirdness and creativity has a magical snake, that just so happens to be her favorite color, despite the real-world equivalent being regular green.

Speaking of the real-world snakes, they are quite literally the inciting incident that force Camila to send Luz to summer camp, meaning they are pretty much responsible for Luz’s arrival in the Boiling Isles, and the entire show.

In Eda’s fake King backstory, we see a stylized palace watched over by snakes, and, if snakes do indeed symbolize Luz, this would be foreshadowing Luz and King’s relationship throughout the show, as they grow to dare for each other as siblings. I’m not entirely sure where the image of King’s demon encyclopedia from episode 4 comes from, as I got it from @sepublic’s own snake palisman post, but a snake is prominently shown on the cover. This again connects snakes, and therefore Luz to the demon realm and demons, specifically King.

Luz is also seen hissing and otherwise acting like a snake throughout the show. She even thinks her arms are snakes in Eclipse Lake, which is probably just a joke, but does add to the snake imagery we see over and over again.

Luz and magical snakes, specifically Basilisks, also go way back. She fights a Basilisk on her first day at Hexside, her identity is stolen by a Basilisk in Yesterday’s Lie, and by the end of that episode and in Reaching Out, she and said Basilisk, Vee, are basically siblings.

Not only is there a frankly ridiculous amount of evidence for this theory, it also works really well both thematically and narratively. Thematically, snakes symbolize Luz’s creativity and weirdness. She doesn’t fit in in the human realm, and that’s shown by the snakes. She does fit in in the Boiling Isles, which is also shown by the snakes. No one in the Demon Realm ever mentions her snake hissing or thinks it’s weird. Snakes are considered weird, wild, dangerous in the human realm, but they’re completely accepted in the demon realm.

Here I’m going to slip into headcanon for a bit. While I believe that her palisman will be a snake, I believe that it will be a winged snake specifically. One, a winged snake will tie into the winged/bird theme of the Clawthornes, making Luz’s palisman a symbol of herself and both her families. She’s a human, but also a witch. She’s a Noceda, but also a Clawthorne. She’s a snake, but she can still fly.

Secondly, in mythology, a staff with a single snake around it was the symbol of Asclepius, god of healing.

Luz, throughout the show, has healed the Boiling Isles. She’s made Eda a better person, helped King and Hooty, redeemed Amity and Lilith, and is trying to save Hunter. She’s reformed Hexside, saved witches from the Conformatorium, and has been working, at every opportunity, to expose Belos and save the Isles. Her presence has made everyone better; she’s healing the Isles.

I also think it’s incredibly probable that Luz, armed with a symbolic healing staff, will save the witches from their sigils and save everyone.

Still, this is just my theory, and whatever Dana and the crew have planned, I’m sure it’ll be great.

a jumble of the things i feel about amphibia, both the show and fandom experience, now that it's ending:

the way amphibia is just this soft story of friendship and survival and growth. yes, it's dark sometimes. yes, the characters face so much. and yet it's okay in the end. no matter what.

the way the first season kept anne in wartwood, ending each time with a quiet night under the stars, and she just grew and changed for the better because the mountain pass was blocked and there was nowhere to go.

the way marcy thought she did everything for them, was so in love with them (platonically or romantically is up to interpretation) that she wanted to be with them forever, the way it was selfish but she died for them in the end and now they're together.

the summer after true colors when we had no idea what would happen, and we thought and created so, so much while waiting for the show to come back, and felt so together. when we knew about marcy's fate but not where it would lead her, and so we wondered if she'd be saved, how anne would cope back home. the growth of this imagined aftermath.

the months staying up all night each friday to watch episodes all together, theorizing and reacting, giddy in the hours leading up to it. the nights when episodes like olivia & yunan would air and we'd spend the whole day drowning in art and wondering how things would go.

the way it's always turned tropes on their head. the way anne's return to earth wasn't permanent. the way marcy was, in the end, so deeply tragic.

the way leif's letter is what stopped andrias in the end. after a thousand years of hatred, love is what reminded him to let his guard down. and the way he knew what he did, admitted what he'd caused, and still knew there was no redemption awaiting him.

the fics in this fandom that expand the world, let the darkness and fog of amphibia rise around the characters, and the sense of survival there always is. even if it's only barely, even if it's after facing too much for a few teenagers to fight, even if they're thrown into war, or the wilderness, or endless grief, or things too difficult to describe, let along go through.

the way it's ending here, tonight. with the moon, ever-watching in the sky, crashing towards amphibia. with so much payoff after all this waiting. after every theory and fanfic building up to this end. we'll see how it really goes.

and i say we, because we are. amphibia is the most connected, supportive, wonderful fandom i've ever been in. we watch it together when we can. we know the fandom's jokes. we theorize, lend ideas, build as a community.

i wonder how much of that we learned from the show. we know what it asked of us, with community and support.
