Nimona is really great at showcasing why “If you didn’t act so threatening people would stop being bigoted” doesn’t work. That idea has been rampant in social movements for so long, the concept that if oppressed people were just more passive with their wording, and never got
When people say “oh me sharing stuff doesn’t help” it’s not true. Why would Israel be pouring everything into propaganda and having panicked meetings about how social media is spreading the truth? Their intense efforts to shut it down are proof
Mike Socks is perfect for Lilith. His carved form, on the staff, is elegant, regal, intimidating. When Lilith connected to him and he developed his off-the-staff form, tied specifically to her identity, he reveals himself to actually be quite derpy and silly. Just like Lilith!
So he spends a significant chunk of the series thinking he’s a powerful violent demon lord. But by the time he actually learns he’s a Titan, he’s realized he’s just a kid, and he doesn’t actually want to be something like that. But he has no
#TOHSPOILERS
If I had a nickel for every time TOH fandom ruthlessly mocked a character’s new hair style,only for that hairstyle to be replaced with a mullet due to Belos possession at the end of the episode, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
What’s interesting is we do see it sometimes, and it changed. Here, it’s yellow. While it’s with a training wand,this does appear to be legitimate, because the spell circle Amity casts with the training wand is the same pink she casts on her own.
angry or defensive, people wouldn’t have reason to oppress them. When the village attacks her, Nimona doesn’t initially fight back, but tries to explain to them, showing them her “acceptable” form as a young girl. But they don’t care that she looks acceptable, they still know
The fact that SHE gets to say it, too. Not her mom explaining it quietly so the others can understand why she acts “weird.” She just openly says it herself. Also love “I guess not everyone can handle my unbridled truth” so true queen
“Strike” coming to mean “say stuff on social media” is such a poor understanding of what a strike is -
strikes are designed to threaten the functions of the system. It’s a refusal to participate so the system starts being damaged without us. They are often economic in nature bc
people need to realize that striking is more than just twitter performative activism. Like these random strikes every few days aren’t actually helping cus they’re so randomly planned, and real action has to be taken off of social media too
That compassion Luz shows. Even if someone has been nothing but cruel to her, the moment they show any signs of softness, she INMEDIATELY grabs at it as an opening, seeks to understand, empathize, have a chance to connect
her for who she is and attack anyway. Then, when she fights back with fangs and claws, Gloreth becomes convinced she is indeed a monster. Never mind the context of the provocation, Nimona looked scary, so now she’s evil.
It is Disability Day of Mourning for all the disabled people murdered by their parents/caregivers. If an abled child is murdered by their parent,the parent is called a monster, but if the child is disabled the parent gets praise and sympathy about the “difficult choice” they made
People reducing WAD’s message to “haha pacifism is stupid let’s shit on SU” is so weird. Because TOH for the most part is very pro peaceful ways of working things out. It works on almost every character. Luz giving Amity a chance, talking to her and showing her
Far in the future, Nimona now doesn’t worry about looking respectable. Ballister tells her she should look like a girl, because it would be easier for her to be accepted. To many people, this would be valid reasoning - if she assumes a non-threatening form, no one will be scared.
I’m so sick of seeing people try to reclaim the r-slur. Being like “Oh I’m neurodivergent and I don’t find it offensive so it’s fine.” Most of them never faced it in any serious way, and even if they did and weren’t bothered, that doesn’t erase the incredibly long historical
But Nimona knows this isn’t true. If people catch sight of her true nature even for a moment, it won’t matter that she takes the form of a sweet, innocent girl. They will attack anyway. And staying as a girl forever, never letting them see, is something she doesn’t see as
This art captures a new era of Lumity I’ve seen since Season 3 began. I’m not just talking about the angst, though obviously yes, Luz is very depressed and that impacts how they interact. But it’s more than that, and I really like the direction it’s gone with their romance 1/9
an option. Other people might see it that way, that it is better to forever rigidly conceal their identity so they never once face any hatred, but as Nimona says, while it’s not true death, it sure isn’t living. While Ballister initially believes that Nimona is ridiculous to
I never even knew what it WAS to love a character so much or have a “comfort character.” I just didn’t get attached that way, until TOH, and then I became that way for so so many of them, but still there was never any true competition for top place.
enough ships. tell me your favorite character, the one you unconditionally love above all others and will defend to death. just thinking of them makes you emotional and they’re your number one.
Boscha VA happy Boscha found happiness with her friends and doing grudgby stuff.
Kikimora VA thinks Kikimora got a fairly happy ending; she stopped feeling shackled by her mom's expectations and made some friends while she did community service.
That genre of Lumity art that shows a high-effort drawing of either Luz or Amity looking super badass, and then there’s a rushed, very tiny stylized doodle of the other one in the corner of the image gasping/having heart eyes and going “Wow!”
dramatically break standards of acceptability, he realizes that some people won’t accept her even if she is “the perfect victim.” We see this in real life, where even someone who is the epitome of moral decency will still eventually be targeted. Illusions to the contrary
I know people view her Season 3 arc as regression, but in a way it's needed for healing. Yes, she got more traumatized and that is bad for her. But she was deeply traumatized and hurt before as well, she just hid it all and ran from it. But now she really has had to confront it
🧵Witches Before Wizards: Luz and The Collector Parallels
The episode Witches Before Wizards is crucial to both Luz’s character development as a whole and foreshadowing for the Collector.

#TOHSPOILERS
Boscha in this epsiode was less about her as a character and more as a way to signal the growth of Willow and Amity. For both to have developed far from that environment, and then to return to it as the stronger people they have become, is really interesting.
A “perfect victim” will always die before being being recognized as such, because the only true acceptable way for a marginalized person to exist is to be dead.
Luz isn’t there??? I was promised Luz and she’s not there? Why is Amity waving a Luz flag when Luz isn’t even in the damn game. She just felt like it? What is wrong with her 😭
are disproven. Of course the city screams and runs when she transforms into a giant creature, but they screamed and ran when she turned into non-threatening creatures as well. So she is driven to view it as not mattering which she does. Of course, in the end she chooses to
Shut up anyone who insults Amity’s hair she looks so cute best hair cut for her it is perfect and look at her with Luz and Luz has best haircut too and they are together at 18 so TOLD YOU SO they are the best and Amity looks beautiful so hush anyone who insults her lesbian hair
help them anyway, and calm herself from her monstrous form, because Ballister shows her recognition while she is in it. Ballister sees her at her most terrifying form and recognizes she is lashing out from fear and anger at the treatment she received. He doesn’t demand she
This is seriously one of my favorite Dana Terrace art pieces LOOK at them look at those sweet happy smiles it just makes me so joyful when I see it. Best duo.
stop and be more respectable, he sees her as she truly is and shows her understanding, and that is what calms her down. Ballister was caught destroying the prison with Nimona, adding fuel to the idea of him as a villain, but he was labeled as one anyway.
Had Nimona not gotten him to wreak havoc, he would have remained in prison and never seen as innocent. There is no perfect victim. Everyone is messy and flawed and will lash out. If there were a perfect victim, it wouldn’t matter anyway. A perfect victim is one who never
Sarah said Luz would hyperfixate on the idea of playing a saxophone for a year and then finally get one and not enjoy it and move on to a different instrument 💀
He sees his sister alive, but not just that. Just think - she looks like him. All this time, never knowing where he came from, and then when he found out, he learns all of his kind are dead. But now his sister has a form unmistakably reminiscent of his own species. The same
dares raise an arm against attack, even out of desperate self defense. Nimona would be a perfect victim id she laid down and succumbed to the pitchforks. Ballister would be a perfect victim if he sat in prison to rot.
Dana confirms Evelyn was a Clawthorne; Eda and Hunter are not aware though. The shack in Gravesfield was Caleb and Philip's old home; Eda discovered it. Luz lives primarily in the demon realm and visits the human realm for holidays. Dana says none of what she is saying
clue what his dad is actually like. where to begin imagining what that could look like.His visions are actually very down to earth, of his dad being a normal, chill guy, who will play catch with him. He really is captivated with this idea of having a chill dad to do stereotypical
Lilith and Amity clearly becoming close is so great. As expected, I was disappointed with how they handled Alador, but now I headcanon Lilith stepped up and became the parental figure Amity needs and can trust and go to with her issues ❤️❤️❤️
Also I realized I use only she/her pronouns for Nimona here when I think the character is basically canon to be gender-fluid, though we don’t get official pronouns in the show. Sorry for that, I will try to vary in the future.
One thing I love about the final battle is the focus on joy and love. They are fighting Belos of course, and we see him being blasted away, but the fight itself is centered around the connection and pride the Owl Family have for each
other. It’s about Eda helping Luz with her
Genuinely, the majority of it. I know a lot of people on owltwt are like “the show is mid, I only stay for this character” or whatever, but I love the whole show. I love the themes and how much hope it gives in its portrayal of disability, neurodivergence, abuse victims, etc.
Okay okay. So look at this, see how he’s framing Luz as a partial cause of Amity’s punishment. And notice how the Blight kids act at first? The twins blame Amity for getting in trouble, for telling on them, and seek to punish her for it. Suggesting there’s a common theme of
Do you think King, each morning in the first few moments between waking up and fully becoming aware of the present reality, thought “Hey when is Luz going to pick me up and give me my good morning kiss?” Before opening his eyes and remembering.
father-son activities with. father-son activities with. Of course, finding out his dad is the Titan shatters that vision. Now his dad is known as this terrifying all powerful god, a deity unfathomable to anybody. Steve’s suggestion that the Titan could have been a normal guy
Back in 2019 I had the awesome opportunity of testing for a storyboard artist position at The Owl House. I didn't get the job at the time but I'm still kinda happy with how the test turned out!
I had a blast watching this show!! 💕✨
So then for Luz to meet his dad and then whisper his dad’s single message to him was a bread pun, confirms something he wouldn’t even think was a realistic hope. His dad was not only watching over him, but cares about his interests. King being silly with the bread puns is
Where did this idea of fandom ending once the media is over even come from? This “Oh no I have to find a new fixation pronto, I’m so sad I can’t keep in the TOH fandom, I love it so much but now I have to leave.” Why??? It literally makes zero sense to me.
brings him some hope, but still, all he has to go off of is this giant skeleton that literally makes up the world. He just has to hope he was someone good, that King can aspire to be like. He’s desperate for this loving, fatherly role model but has no idea if any of it is true.
Found something fun in my old files! This is the test I did for the prop designer job on the Owl House. Some of it ended up in episode one, which is pretty cool! I ended up not getting it, but shortly after I found out I was Lead Character Designer on the Steven Universe Movie!
something his dad appreciated. He liked King’s silly puns and games, and he made some of his own. For King to hear that, to know his dad could be someone kind and goofy, who was clearly proud of him and delighted in the kinds of things he did, after being told for so long that
beautiful in that way. But then he also delighted in knowing his dad really could be a down to earth guy who loved King’s personality and interests and wanted to participate and be silly with him. King 😭
Thinking again about Luz getting called his big sister in this exact same episode. A big sibling, supposed to look out for him, she always just wanted to protect him. And here there is literally nothing she can do. What could she even say. He’s clinging to her for some form of
#TOHSPOILERS
When Luz pulled away from Amity’s kiss and Amity had that taken aback face for a moment that HURT.And no that’s not a break up sign,Luz thought she didn’t deserve the affection. So healing to see at the end where they clasp hands and lean on each other again
his dad was just this abstract unfathomable figure who King was meant to now emulate as the new Titan. He’s so joyful. He loved seeing the majestic power of his dad, through Luz’s Titan form and then through the silhouette as it left her. He loved seeing Titan magic as something
