Speaking of oppressive regimes and people in power
I appreciate that "Nimona" showed the villain be recorded and exposed, and how it didn't solve anything in the end (1/4)
Stan was abused so horrifically, Filbrick had him stand outside hold up a sign that said he's for sale...
And I love that he broke that cycle of abuse and is so gentle with the kids😭
The creator of the owl house had to pirate her own show cause she had no cable 💀
Shows are largely innaccessible, coming to services months later and mostly in the US, and by then they're often already canceled
I was discussing this issue with friends. It's frustrating when I'll hear some people get mad that their shows get cancelled yet they were watching or downloading it illegally and those views and downloads, now in the MILLIONS these days, don’t count for a show’s ratings at all!
"Maybe he's just some normal guy, you know?" said Steve about the Titan and he was right
The way TOH used Belos' lies to build up the Titan as this scary being when he is anything but that, is prolly one of my fave things in the show (1/6)

if i had a nickel for every time a queer golden soldier realized that the system they belonged to is oppresive and a total lie, i would have three

I love with my whole heart that the crux of the relationship between Bal and Nimona, is that her rebellious attitude frees Bal from the years of conditioning he went through
And in this way she finds kindred spirit with whom she finaly felt safe with(1/4)
With the extended version of the possession scene being released, I'll be going crazy over it again
Eventho we got only a few additionals frames, Hunter's expression just shatters me,,,the sheer resignation at his fate 😭 (1/5)

Amity being able to draw the glyph and Camila crying while being a puppet means that they were aware
The puppets were aware the whole time while in that state 😭
Which means that Darius also was,,, (1/3)

I love how TOH subverts things visually during the battle between Belos and the owl trio
We have the trio who were all monstrous-looking and in typical story you would think they're the villains
While Belos spend some of his last moments looking like this(1/4)

I seen ppl say that the Director was a weak twist villain but was it ever a twist?
The corruption of the whole establishment was showing from the get go
From the fact that the Director never attempted to stop any of the bullying that Bal went through(1/5)
When it comes to symbolism in "Nimona", I think one of my favourites has to be the well; how innocence and truth were left to rot
Cause it's still there, while 1000 years have passed and a whole technologically advanced kingdom was built around it (1/3)
#nimona
The parallel between Hunter saying Belos found him in "Hunting Palismen" and Flap's grave saying "Thank you for finding me", makes me go crazy 😭 (1/5)
#theowlhouse
#toh
#tohhunter
The Director is someone already in a high position, even if exposed she can spin things, manipulate events to come out on top, and she does exactly that cause fear controlled the masses before
Just like irl, ppl in power would be exposed and often nothing comes out of it (2/4)
Gonna be a bit irritated here but this fanon tendency to forget Hunter's child soldier training and make him incapable, is pretty weird 😭
As in completely ignoring that he has actual military training and survival skills (1/5)
#theowlhouse
#toh
Hollow Mind really had Kid Belos who is actually Belos, the grown man, act like a whole child, treat Luz like she is his big sis or sth, hide behind her, hold her hand...
My brother in christ, you are in your 400s, what are you doing??😭 (1/4)

Ppl are easy to fall back on what they believe after all and would take a convenient explanation and go back to their lives even after protesting
To quote the owl house which tackled similar issue: "No one wants to think they've wasted their life following the wrong person" (4/4)
Adding to the whole "Eda would be a great teacher and a headmaster"
With her, when things don't go as planned, she doesnt see it as a mistake but as an opportunity
In 'Reaching Out', Edric thought he was gonna be punished when he failed- (1/4)
#theowlhouse
#toh
It's easy to think that such method could work; why not record and expose but it can't uproot centuries of
indoctrination
Only show cracks, get a reaction and an outcry but it's a mere first step and it wasn't really what worked in the end (3/4)
We been knew since TTT that Hunter was bi from that patch on his sweater but now that Dana confirmed it on the post hoot? Our boy really is a fruit ✨(1/7)
#theowlhouse

Being a grimwalker is already something that causes massive identity issues, amongst other things
But beside that, how terrifying is it to know nothing about your biology
For Hunter and for the adults who'll be taking care of him (1/4)
#theowlhouse

There's something poetically beautiful about Hunter being cared for by a pair of brothers in a loving and healthy relationship, when another pair gave him so much grief (1/6)

"And Luz, thank you for being in my life"
"Luz, I'm so happy I had you as a big sister"
"Oh. I know what I should have said— I should have thanked them"
The Owl Trio ruining my life in their respective finales😭 (1/3)
Zeno mentioned in the recent Q&A that he wants an adventure where Hunter discovers more about this grimwalker origins
So if it's gonna be a duo adventure, no better candidates than either Gus, Luz or Darius (1/4)

King's Tide anniversary brought out my feels about Gus cause they really had the one character who was deeply facinated with human stuff,,,witness the absolute worst of humanity in Belos' memories (1/6)

This crew art makes me feel so many things 😭
I can talk all day about Amity dying her hair as a way to resist her mother's influence
And how she must have yearned for such an opportunity for so long (1/2)
#theowlhouse
#toh
It's crazy to me how much the fandom ignores that Camila bonded with the rest of the kids too, not just Hunter
We got her gushing over cosmic frontier with Gus too, being physically affectionate with Amity multiple times, most likely was the one to teach- (1/3)

One of the top 3 animated series have joined forces to beat Bill Cipher... GravityFalls, Amphibia, and The owl house They have connected across the multiverse to try to stop him... New merchandise in collaboration with Dana Terrace, Matt Braly y Alex Hirsch will be released soon
I just love how TOH addressed Belos’ paper-thin act as a prophet of the Titan
Cause yeah, people questioned him but he kept burning cities, killing people, collapsing the social structure of the Isles till no one remembered how things used to be (1/4)
#theowlhouse

I’ve been thinking about this scene recently and the ever present question of “Who was the intended recipient of this pic?” and I think it may have been Darius
And why? Well several reasons actually (1/6)

Elsewhere and Elsewhen has its time traveling shenanigans but by Titan, did it illustrate so perfectly how Belos altered the BI so much and for the absolute worst
And how nothing he ever said about "savage ages", ever had any truth to it (1/6)

Eclipse Lake is already a devastating ep but with the TTT line that Hunter can only go out on weekends?
He wasnt just fighting to impress Belos in that ep
He was also fighting for his right to be able to go out of the castle (1/5)

Seeing the tl talking about it but Hunter's arc in s3 has,,, so many holes to me
The grimwalker identity issues being left unaddressed even though they were built up as this major thing (1/5)
#theowlhouse
#toh
#tohunter
Looking at this crew art and the storyboards again, it seems they really were planning for Luz to have some kind of glyph marks left by the titans power
And ngl, I wish they kept them as sort of contrast to Philip (1/2)
#theowlhouse
#toh
Thinking about hunting pals again,,,
How Luz approached the palismen as source of validation and not companions who she could share her interests with
Everyone else had clear aspirations so it was easy to find a palisman who could relate to them (1/4)
#theowlhouse
#toh
#tohluz
there's something about kids traumatized by the EC, growing up to be empathetic and protective when no one was to them 😭
having a moment where they say "enough is enough" eventho it puts them in harms way (1/3)
#theowlhouse
#toh
Thinking about Hunter’s name and its messed up origin as a "witch Hunter" joke to Belos
And how ironically, Hunter ended up using it to build an identity for himself, something he clung to cause he wanted to exist outside of the box Belos put him in (1/5)
#theowlhouse
#toh
Ambrosius cutting off Bal's whole arm,,,
Could have aimed for the weapon or elbows but he cut off the entire thing because this is how they were trained
To overreact, kill and maim even if there's a far better solution and this happens when they attack Nimona too (1/2)
#nimona
The tragedy of Eda knowing what hugs are but pretending she doesn’t cause she was terrified of hurting ppl again 😭
And the way it was shown in early s1, we thought ppl on the Isles didnt know what those were but no, we were witnessing a tragedy instead (1/3)
#theowlhouse
#toh
Luz and Hunter wearing the symbols of their adoptive parents on their clothes is the cutest ❤
Hunter having a patch of an abomination with Darius' hair in Dana's art and WAD
And Luz having a potions and music patch for Eda and Raine 😭 (1/4)

Thinkin about Belos and how his efforts to recreate Caleb, distorted their relationship so badly
He treats the clone of his older brother like nephew, lower familial position yet still has Hunter be his caretaker when the curse gets bad(1/7)

(tw: descriptions of wounds)
I am once again thinking in depth about Belos being the absolute worst and Hunter's scars, the one on his face in particular
How awful the aftermath must have been when you consider every little thing (1/7)

#tohhunter

Eclipse Lake anniversary so a friendly reminder that no, Hunter and Amity don't hate each other, Amity won't bully and antagonize Hunter, she is not a hypocrite
Cause there's a diff between a healthy dose of initial suspicion- (1/4)
#theowlhouse
#toh
Despite how he grew up, Hunter really went "I'll treat ppl with the kindness I wish I was treated with"
He squeezed Flap tightly and immediately stopped at the sound of distress, sth he prolly wished Belos did whenever he grabbed his shoulder too roughly (1/4)

Good day to remember this crew art of the Lumity wedding
And it fills me with so much joy that Darius and Hunter made the dresses 😭❤️
#theowlhouse
#toh
I really miss this brand of early crew art that was just Luz being very whimsical with owls
They were trying very hard not to spoil things back in 2018 😭
#toh
nothing will ever make me more emotional than luz and king learning the first light glyph together and the show ending much the same way
the siblings ever 😭 light of each other's lifes
No wonder he so confidently stepped up here and approached Hunter
He was mulling it over for months, he wanted that little boy by his and Eber's side (3/3)
Ever since a mutual brought up that Belos depicts his followers looking closer to humans (no demons) and white? Something shifted
All the murals are like that when in reality his followers look like this, the HM scene
Look at this diverse bunch (1/3)
#theowlhouse

The Azura plot in "Any Sport" always struck me as big waste of time that late in canceled show
When a more interesting option would've been a Belos B plot revealing what he was doing while away, which was most likely making another grim(1/5)

The question whether Hunter was pulled out of the ground as a baby or as a 7-8 year old or a preteen, will always keep me up at night cause all the options have their own horrific implications 💀 (1/5)

Willow being seen as the "mom friend" in discussions and in some fanon, has been bugging me for awhile
Mom friends don't poke ppl on the ass with plastic forks, they don't steal from halloween stores
When Amity asked her if she would have gone through- (1/4)
#theowlhouse
#toh
I love Eclipse Lake as an ep but by god, did it spawn the most awful fandom mischaracterization of Amity that is still smh going to this day
Tell me why is this fandom still writing Amity as if she vehemently hates Hunter? (1/6)
