#toh hexide

[tawney]

One of my pet peeves is Luz's hexide uniform, because there's 2 extra colors in the uniform that don't have any coven association, while there's 3 coven colors missing. So I tried remaking Luz's uniform to fit in as many colors as possible.

It doesn't look as nice or color coded (which is why I changed abomination's location) but I tried 😭

lumity would be like the couple right?

i mean they’ve been dating the longest and are probably like one of the power couples of hexide not to mention the boiling isles and i can just imagine them being seen as like the cool battle scarred upperclassmen that know everything and that young couples might go to for advice right

but in reality if you ask either of them anything about relationship stuff they’d both just be like fuck if i know i barely understand how i got someone as cool as her to go out with me

I think you said once that Hexside and the "love interest" aspect of the show didn't contribute to the main plot at all.

So, what do you think a toh would be like if those were taken out? Like a toh without S1 and a third of S2?

You would end up with not TOH. And also with a show that probably did middling numbers at best because... Hexide presents a really big Catch 22 for the show. On the one hand, it has nothing to do with plot, narrative and tangentially at best works with the themes long term even if there are term moments that function. On the other hand, it is EASILY the best part of the show with most of the iconic moments in it, even if you're not a Lumity shipper, some of the best character moments, the only character even arguably a real arc (and frankly I still argue that Amity's arc is poorly done. Lumity isn't rushed because Amity's character was rushed and gutted.), and some of the clearer morals of the show. Because TOH's adventure element is where the plot is but it also gives zero fucks about that adventure element. Its villains are consistently incredibly weak and one note, often sharing the same note. The fights are mostly boring. Even the well animated ones have minimal good choreography or interesting elements going on with them and very rarely real emotional or characters stakes. The best fights of the series are easily Eclipse Lake and Covention and... That's about it. One of the things that helps those two fights admittedly is that not everything is energy blasts and vines in them and even then, Eclipse Lake isn't exactly clearing a high bar as far as choreography goes and its still lacking personality since one of the most memorable moments is Amity, graceful nerd Amity, sucker punching Hunter with a spiked gauntlet. Otherwise, the magic and world building is incredibly inconsistent. The characters are pointedly not interested in adventures, only Luz is so every adventure would be an argument and would get old fast. You'd probably get more episodes moralizing at you for their structure so I hope you liked Really Small Problems and Once Upon a Swap because that's likely what you'd get more of.

Actually, roll back a second because this IS important. One of the subversions of TOH is that classic question in fantasy of "Why is everyone going and getting themselves almost killed?" Eda and King embody that. It's explicit in S2 when Eda is trying to respect that King and Luz are kids but it's there in S1 too. In the second episode even when they consider Luz a fool because they see such little promise in the world that they don't interact with it. Which, you know, for a show is kind of a problem when two thirds of your main cast are lazy assholes who have to be bribed in someway to do fucking ANYTHING besides their mundane routine. It's part of why TOH fails so hard as an adventure show because they go on SO FEW ADVENTURES. It's also part of why Willow and Gus, who are enthusiastic and active, are inciters so much in S1 with three different episodes not being about them but them being the direct catalyst for those episodes because SOMETHING needs to get these fuckers to do ANYTHING. (Escaping Palisman, Covention and Really Small Problems for those curious. There may be more but those were three I could immediately think of.) And then there's the fact that as even you pointed out: You remove Hexide and you lose a LOOOT of the show. For something not actually important to the plot, it does consume at least a third of the show. Even the better adventure episodes usually were more about Hexide characters like Lost in Language or Adventure in the Elements, though calling that one adventure is admittedly a bit of a stretch. Like Hexide is so wrapped in everything going on, despite having little impact, it's hard to actually say what the show would look like without it.

Like I've made a lot of inflammatory statements but that's simply going off of what is in the show. These writers are not equipped to do an adventure show. Frankly, I wonder what show they would specialize best in due to the general issues with TOH, as its not like all the Hexide episodes are exactly bangers, but there is at least more joy and obvious interest in Amity and Romance. Which is also what would make it so that if you want TOH to have failed harder ratings wise... Take out Hexide. There's a lot of gay teenagers who watched the show after all. A lot of people wouldn't even talk about the show thought without Amity. Without there being such a forward facing, gay couple. Hell, take out Hexide and even Raeda becomes more awkward and Huntlow just doesn't happen. In fact, you lose a lot of your representation, admittedly just because the cast would be closer to a manageable size.

This is why I don't try to pretend that TOH could be magically rewritten and fixed. I don't pretend that a reboot would cause some magically perfect show to form from the aether now. TOH's identity crises, its fluff, its mishandling of things while being so confident about all these elements definitely needing to be here, to the point where they make up a FUCKING THIRD of the final season even, is part of what is identifiably TOH. You cannot cut out Hexide without a fundamentally different show.

And admittedly, probably just a really bad one. After all, Eda and King are not the Plantars. They aren't a part of a community that can get them to do things, they don't have their own real desires to motivate them and they don't have a real interest in the world outside their door. They're the cool kids who say they're so much better than everyone else and that their lives are so much better when really they do only lean against walls looking cool all day because acting like you're better than everything means you have nothing to fucking do.

Which, frankly, is a good metaphor for a lot of the show. Especially anything not to do with Hexide.

#The Owl House Criticism #TOH Critical #Hexide

[nobutyesbutactuallyno]

I love how the rebellion is basically composed of:

A furry

A Drama queen (Darius)

The theater kids

God (but he's cute)

Two bird queens

A tube

A nerd

An entire school

Said school's kickass principal

And, most importantly, the hot one (Steve)

*plops down my owl house headcannon's* *holds them out to you like a cat bringing you a bird*

Vee and Hunter had a strained relationship the first couple of weeks. Vee was scared of Hunter, him having the emperor's coven sigual and all. Hunter was afraid to talk to talk to her cause of this. Everyone saw it, but didn't want to interfere. Amity and Gus didn't want to make it worse, but Luz and Willow knew they would sort themselves out eventually.

And they did! A couple weeks in, Vee woke up at 1am from a nightmare. She slithered out to the kitchen to get water, milk, food, whatever would peak her interest. Whatever would distract her. Instead, she found Hunter. Hunter, sitting on the counter with his head in his hands.

Vee crept up to Hunter, attempting not to disturb him. She took her human form, hoping that the golden guard wouldn't see her as a monster. Part of her knew that he couldn't hurt her. He couldn't, he was too broken. In too much pain. But the louder part of her is scared.

Hunter jumped up as soon as she stepped forward, her now human feet creating a much more recognizable sound. A trauma response. His hair is long and wild, his eyes shadowed. He looked so young, so small. He was just a kid. A hurt, crying kid. Vee can't be afraid of that.

"Nightmare?" "Yea, you?" "Same."

The pair stood there, simply looking. Vee slowly shifted back to her natural form, a small smile. Hunter paused, staring at her.

Then it all came tumbling out. Off both of then. All the nightmares, the pain, the hurt. It was all there, in-front of them. And now they could see it like this, it was all so similar. Both felt so seen in that moment.

Nobody knew what happened that night. Hunter and Vee never spoke of it. But everyone knew something had changed. A strange unspoken trauma bond was held between the siblings. Cause thats what they where, siblings. Luz accepted it quickly, of course she did.

She'd gained two new Noceda's.

Character Dynamics I’d wanna see in an Eda Spinoff

Give me Raine and Eda and Lilith and everyone at Grom

Give me the between-the-walls hideout being Eda’s base of operations/safeplace at Hexside

Give me Eda saying something flirty, Raine saying something flirty back and Eda blue-screening because no one’s ever done that before and she doesn’t know what to do.

Give me Raine trying to nickname every group project with an acronym that ends in -ATS.

Give me the RATS Play

Give me Eda and Lilith playing Grudgby together

Give me an episode or two where Lilith gives in and takes a break from her self-induced stress over school/Covens and has fun with everyone.

Give me Odalia ruining someone’s day with divination magic ie. ‘The spirits look unfavorably upon you’ and then someone having the worst shit luck possible for the duration of the episode

Give me Aladarius crumbs I want the Drama

Give me more P A L I S M E N

Give me Young Darius vs Young Raine theater kid drama. I want a full blown rivalry. I want ‘I will never work with you’ to be said in their first shared episode. I want the richest dramatic irony. I want scenes we can screenshot and say: “One day, these two will work together to overthrow the emperor”

Give me a ‘whoops an abomination experiment went wrong and now we are handcuffed together even though we hate each other’ episode

Give me VP Bump becoming Principal Bump

Give me the scenario in which Darius meets the Golden Guard, and how he became his mentee

Give me the first half in the seven months before Eda gets cursed, and punch us in the gut with the second half, set after she gets cursed

Give me Lilith spiraling in fear and guilt over the curse and wanting so desperately to tell someone but holding back every time she gets close. Give me Raine trying to figure out what Eda is hiding from them until she caves and tells them she’s been cursed. Give me the sisters’ first falling-out if you want to see me cry

Give me a heartbreaking doomed mentor plot line where GG helps Darius become the best version of himself, how to think critically and use his magic to the fullest, only for GG to perish or ‘disappear under mysterious circumstances’ by the end of the show. Give me Darius’ suspicions of foul play and sowing the seeds of rebellion against the Emperor

#toh headcanon #raeda #eda clawthorne #darius deamonne #raine whispers #raine and darius rivals to friends arc plz? it would be so funny #'Odalia causes problems on purpose' is a reoccuring plot thread #my post #Midnight thoughts #my ideal show would follow Raine arriving at hexide --> eda and raine's breakup but that would mean ending the show bittersweetly #because everything just gets worse and worse for the main characters until the events of TOH pick up #no one is happy by the time they reach their young adult years #you are allowed to be inspired by these for fics and art and other things #tag me in any dariraine rivalry stuff tho I would love to see it

Not tying to shit on the people who think Adrian and daruis would be good friends but I hope yall know darius is probably going to rock Adrian's world just as hard as gus did once he finds out he put his hands on hunter 😭😭

Jokes young witches will probably have in reformed Hexide:

"Do you know why they allowed triple tracking? So you can pick one track your parents insist on, one track your grandma insists on and the track you actually want!"

"Keep getting detention, maybe one day they'll make you headmaster at a university!"

"Best thing about the illusions track? You'll learn how to cast a spell on your report card so your parents don't see you're failing abominations!"

"If you ever feel out of place, just think of this one girl in my potions track class. She's quadruple tracking potions, healing, beastkeeping and construction. She has a plant coven sigil."

"This one boy in our class recently got his coven sigil removed, but the removal burned his wrist and he got two days off to recover. Anyone know where I can get a sigil, just to have it removed a few days later and be able to miss an exam?"
