The Tale of the Brothers Wittebane:

(Interesting that the two became witch hunters to fit with Gravesfield. They weren't even witch hunters to begin with. "Fitting in" seems to be a huge, reoccurring theme in the show)

The Grimwalker Children’s Rhyme

(Headcanons + a handclapping song for fan works)

Thinking of the Boiling Isles and how Grimwalkers are clearly semi-common knowledge. Except, they seem to be more old legends or folk tales. Then, my baby cousin wanted to play ring around the rosie and ‘london bridge’. They both are dark if you look at the historical context, but without it they just sound like nonsensical silliness.

So, I decided to write my own version of what I think a Grimwalker children’s rhyme/song would look like. Specifically as a hand-clapping game or a jumpeope/hopscotch game. Feel free to use it in any works of your own. Just be sure to credit me — My username on every other site is Icey5105

I’m picturing this as the kids don’t know what a Grimwalker is and no one actually knows the whole process to make a Grimwalker anymore. As for the history, I’m following a head canon I’ve seen before that Grimwalkers used to be primarily to give grieving mothers a way to still have their dead or stillborn babies. Possibly even without the understanding that this isn’t their actual child that’s been revived, but a clone. It used to be a much more common practice before Palistrom started becoming harder to find or maybe they realized that Grimwalkers weren’t actually the same people anymore so they got a bad rep. There were likely some discrimination/judgment over them, because they aren’t witches and if the lack of magic isn’t just a Hunter thing… yeah. They would not be treated fairly.

Anyway, here we are! The Grimwalker Children’s Rhyme:

Grimwalker, Grimwalker,

One two three.

My baby is lost to me.

Grimwalker, Grimwalker,

Four, five, six,

Toss him in with palistrom sticks.

Grimwalker, Grimwalker,

Seven, eight, nine.

Bury him and he’ll be fine.

Grimwalker, Grimwalker,

Clock strikes ten.

Now my baby’s back again.

Collector Hierarchy

So based on absolutely nothing I created a ranking system for Collector's species, which I've dubbed 'Celestials' for the sake of differentiation.

This hierarchy system will be canon in my TOH Fanfiction thingy based on that art I made of me and my friend as a Collector and Titan. Stay tuned to see more of that.

(also, if you're curious about the lore of said fanfic, you can read this google doc:)

“Day 1”

WARNING: HEADCANON

Who knows the true reason for the Collectors' attack on the Titans? Who can remember how bloody the war was? How did it start? Probably, only history, lost among the pages of old archives, can answer this question, and maybe.. and Archivists themselves will be able to tell you about the reasons for this war. But what exactly are Archivists? What are they? What are they capable of, and what are they willing to do to achieve their goal?

When I started drawing, everything looked much better. When I finished, I was a little disappointed in the result, but I'm not giving up on this work, since I very, very rarely draw any pictures with a background, and at the moment, I'm trying to do it more often. So, I will take this as one of the personal stages of achieving good results. Who said it would be easy? That's right, no one.

John Bailey, one of the head writers of TOH, just did a lore drop in the form of an ancient poem about the Titan and oh boy, we are in for a ride.

So here's some interesting lore bits for whoever doesn't want to read anglo-saxon verses.

The poem is 1 of 11 that were found on an expedition, all dedicated to the Titan

The collection was found on a bathysfearic expedition, an olden device used for deep sea exploration (seems witches invented it good 300 years before humans)

The Titan is reffered to as Ruler

The poems were retrived in Late Deadwardian era so it seems they are older than that (possibly from a time when the Titan was still rotting)

The author describes the decay of the Titan but proceeds to go existential asking where witches came from

They have two theories: either small creatures ate the carcass of the titan and evolved from its magic OR there was evolution in some sort of wombs? in the Titan itself

Eventually those musings turn a bit angry at the silence, the author is desperate to know the origins of life

By the end of the poem, the author seems to be a bit drunk on an old appleblood variant judging by the break in format

And they finish with speculation that humans came from the Titan's butt (kinda proving that witch kind was very aware of humanity early on)

Overall an amazing lore drop and insight into the people's perception of the Titan, pre-Belos.

Thinking about powerless witches in TOH. Like, for all the magicless characters in the show, for all of the reasons why they're powerless, none of them are born as powerless witches. In fact, it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable to assert that witches who are born powerless don't actually exist. The only confirmation of it is Hunter telling Luz a lie that Belos told him, and even Willow who was a late bloomer did eventually show incredible magical prowess.

But what if they do exist. What about the witches who could never go to school because you need to preform spells to get in. Witches who could still be considered wild witches despite being physically incapable of performing magic because no coven would have them. Witches thrown out of their houses as kids for not developing magic quickly enough, or even at all. What about the people who took 'low skill, low paying' jobs because those were the only ones that could be done without magic. Luz stumbles into the Boiling Isles thinking that it's a magical place, a safe haven from all her struggles. A place free from the racism and homophobia she would have inevitably experienced in the human realm. Luz projects a lot onto the Boiling Isles, I expect that little could shatter that image as much as knowing how much society hates people who are functionally the same as her. How much they hate people who don't have magic, and how she avoids it by virtue of being a human, by virtue of being exotic. Hell, what about a little human kid who fell through a puddle and didn't get picked up by Eda or by anyone for that matter. What about them?

If we want to go back farther--remember that there's no evidence that wild magic existed as a concept before Belos, and everything to suggest that he just made it up as a scapegoat. Before that, before people could actually buy the concept of wild magic, who would have supported Belos? What kind of witches would be interested in equality between them and magic users? Who would have had nothing to lose by supporting the restricting of magic that they never even had? Belos could have promised opportunity and greatness for powerless witches (or perhaps, magicless witches--for after this, they would not be powerless anymore) at a cost that they would never have to pay. Besides, the witches would only be limited to one kind of magic, they can't use any. It's just leveling the playing field. Once he had enough support and his rhetoric was legitimized, Belos switched gears, learning that it's better to have the people who can summon fireballs with a gesture on his side than those who can't. What happened to powerless witches then? How betrayed were they, and how did they fight Belos' targeting after that?

What about those few who managed to create something beautiful despite their lack of magic? Who managed to carve out a niche for themselves in an area which didn't involve magic? There's no evidence of mechanics schools on the Boiling Isles, and Alador's abomination contraptions are complicated mechanisms. Why would he have had any reason to learn mechanics when abomination magic was enough? Furthermore, who could he possibly learned mechanics from? Mechanics might have been disgraceful work when a powerless witch did it, but when Alador Blight (emphasis on the Blight) incorporated mechanics into abominations, he was hailed as an inventive genius.

Obviously, this is all the realm of headcanon. The effect of powerless witches and their place in the Boiling Isles goes unexplored in the show, and that's fine. TOH did what it set out to do, with significantly less time than it should have had to do it. TOH is a story about oppression in the broad and soft terms. It's about individuals who become powerless and their struggles which features a rebellion populated by only a few characters. The communities of the Boiling Isles, the covens themselves and Hexside and the implied powerless witches, are not the point. Their stories are not relevant to the story of TOH.

But it's interesting to think about, isn't it? To imagine how these systems and communities would have actually worked. TOH is chalked full of allegory, specifically allegory of marginalized groups (most specifically, queer groups.) Hell, the thesis of the first episode is 'we weirdos have to stick together.' It might as well be: 'we queers have to stick together.' Powerlessness is quite obviously a disability allegory, Eda's curse is treated like a chronic illness, etc. The scenarios presented above just get a little more specific with it.

I understand why they these ideas are ignored by canon. The Boiling Isles are magical, that's the whole point. How drab would it be to follow characters who don't participate in that magic, who may be actively resentful of it. You want your audience to relate to your characters (generally,) and the audience of a show about a girl falling into a magical world is going to want to see that magical world and the magical people who occupy it. A character who despises magic and society's reliance on it would be at odds with an audience who is enthralled by magic. The exploration of the specifics and complexities of oppression is superfluous to the story, so why include it beyond broad allegory?

Cause it's fun, is the obvious answer, but I suppose that's the fandom's job, isn't it?

Anyway. Thinking about powerless witches.

So I was watching The Owl House and I was looking at the glyth system and well…. Ummmmm I made a flashbang I think?

So the center is a fire rune, around it is 4 modified modular light runes. It’s modified in the way that I’ve added the expansion bit from the plant rune. So if I understand this correctly it would be a flash bang. Basically the fire would start (that’s where the ignition point is) and then the connected lights would expand to about 4 or 8 times the original size of the fire and it would be about 4 times as bright as a singular light rune

i just like to think that flapjacks and waffles were carved at the same time, meant to be a pairing. that yeah flapjack was evelyn’s palisman that bonded a lot with caleb but what if waffles was caleb’s palisman, like what if caleb and evelyn had a special bonding experience carving waffles as a partner to flapjack so their palismen would never be lonely even if they passed away

and what if hunter found waffles all this time later and waffles bonded to him bc they recognized flapjacks spirit in hunter

and all through all of this, hunter still doesn’t know what flapjacks and waffles are

Warning: Headcanon!

I share with you my latest works on the Owl House at the moment. Someday, maybe I'll get back to my plans and development, but for now, as is.

This character's name is Enmu.

She is one of the younger Archivists, whose fate at the moment is quite tragic. What happened to her was the beginning of the known war between the Collectors and the Titans, so to speak.

This drawing, or rather, what I have at the moment, namely a sketch, is one of such "murals" in history. Everyone knows about the existence of Titan hunters, but no one knows who started them, and how long the "species" of hunters in their sense has existed. They were the ones who helped the Archivists in the war. In search of weakened titans, which the Archivists themselves were unable to find, due to their inability to see through the veil of "signs" that hid the Titans from the mighty bloody eyes of the collectors, whose selfishness and self-confidence in their power - had no end. They always elevated themselves above earthly gods, and even more so mortal creatures, considering themselves the best. Although, they know that there are gods much stronger than them. But this did not interfere with their self-confidence. So, each of the Collectors paid for not only breaking their younger brother's trust in them, but also with their freedom. Although they were deprived of freedom and power, you cannot call them losers. There are no Titans left on this earth either. Only Enmu remained free, and without the possibility of getting up, she would be chained to dreams, deep in her mind, for ages. On the Boiling Islands, there are fairy tales for children that if you are not polite, Enmu will come to you - and show you the worst dream and fear of your life. After all, the residents were right.

I have so many thoughts/questions/emotions about your Darius Lore. I love that Darius was essentially mentored not just by an individual but that individual’s entire found family/polycule. The fact that Darius lost all of them nearly all at once, completely helpless to do anything about it, and just had to continue on as if it hadn’t happened. As if he didn’t know what happened. For decades. And being the only one to know the truth and being constantly bombarded with the propaganda and lies that say otherwise. And if he gets himself killed, all that dies with him.

Also, just out of curiosity, GG started mentoring Darius around the end of high school (according to wwaitsoatl) so about 17ish? (Correct me if I’m wrong) About what age range was Darius when everything eventually came crumbling down? What about when he eventually rose to be a coven head? Does Eber know any part of this/ has intuited enough from their own experience and what they’ve they now know of Darius to have some idea (even if it might be somewhat incorrect?)

Apologies for the rambling lol

yeah the mentorship started when darius was 17 iirc -- or thereabouts. i'm Awful with concrete timelines. in keeping with being awful with concrete timelines, i THINK the story would span around 4ish years, but i don't have firm ages/times.

(i may already be contradicting my own canon here, i truly Do Not Remember)

you can assume that All The Awful Shit goes down when darius is 21 or 22ish. mentor is about 5 years older, so he'd be in his mid-to-late twenties when he died. same goes for daphne and cayden.

that leaves time for darius to find out about what's going on, meet the polycule/family and gain their trust, start n maintain his reckless experiments with magic, have all the shit go down with the palistrom groves, learn cayden's techniques for faking sigils.... there's a LOT that happens.

darius is already fairly highly ranking in the abomination coven before his mentor is murdered -- prev GG encouraged him to join the abomination coven rather than the emperor's coven, because the emperor's coven is a nightmare. (this was before darius knew anything about any of the shit happening behind the scenes.)

it's not long after his mentor's murder that the prior head of the abomination coven """voluntarily resigns""" and darius is "encouraged" to replace him. belos still doesn't trust him but also gramps LOVES to make people's lives miserable, bc he's a petty bitch. and bc he was almost certainly jealous of darius taking up so much of his mentor's attention.

so darius gets the lilith treatment. congrats on your prestigious position :) you're so powerful and competent :) You Live And Bleed And Die In Hell :)

eber Almost Certainly knows that darius's mentor was murdered, through intuition if nothing else. and he also knows what darius knows about faking sigils. darius doesn't talk about the specifics of his past or his grief, but he has shared his most useful tools for skirting empire regulations.

eber knows that darius must have learned that from Someone. and eber also knows that if that Someone was still alive, darius would have introduced them at some point.
