#AND FAR AS FUCK FROM CANON
Text
[ID: two owl house drawings based on memes. The first one shows Lilith in her season 2B design sketched over the big bang theory "love is in the air? Wrong! Gad leak" meme. She's staring at the viewer with one eyebrow raised and her glasses are opaque.
The second meme is a redraw of a king of the hill scene, split into two panels. The first panel shows Belos holding up a sack of coins with magic, saying "here's 300 snails to break up with hunter". The second panel shows willow in her s2B design pointing at him and saying "save that money for our wedding". End ID]
I did two things today, and that was really beef it while making a sandwich, and draw shitty owl house memes, and baby I'm all out of sandwiches to post (@toh-described)
#the owl house#toh#lilith clawthorne#willow park#toh belos#toh meme#huntlow#aroace lilith#give me more memes to redraw toh characters as this is the most art I've gotten done in weeks LMAO#the second drawing is very specifically inspired by a doodle i did in school of willow and belos where i labeled them as in-laws#and while it's so so far from canon (belos is just some evil shadowy figure to willow and she doesn't exist to him-#-as anything other than an unnotable companion to Luz/hunter or. yknow. depending on how s3 pans out 👀 wittewife parallel)#but them being bitchy in-laws is so funny to me you guys. it's so fucking funny#and somebody's definitely done love is in the air gas leak w/ Lilith before but i couldn't not do my own#I've been wanting to draw her all week she's just one of the ones i really enjoy drawing#she's got big round glasses and poofy hair and a long face and goth girl lips how can i not love drawing her. AND she's hot as fuck#like hello?#anyway yeah aroace Lilith and willow vs belos content be upon ye

helloooo have a messy scribble page of oc concepts. unfortunately, im in love and will now proceed to ramble At Length
but before that! rudimentary height chart!
all i know rn is Mairy - the cow - is about the same height as Howdy/Barnaby/Poppy (around 8ft), Hettie & Daisy are in the Wally/Julie/Sally category (around 3ft), and Jesterly is more Frank/Eddie (around 4ft). Derry Drake is fuckoff huge, and Casey is... idk really. tall but not That tall
so. rambles. i... have those, yeah
Mairy Love - she/her - lesbian
a gorgeous white/blue cow! originally she was gonna be pink/white, but blue/white is my favorite color combo and honestly? it's dairy colors to me. she's big! she's strong! she's very gentle and sweet but also takes shit from no one, even though she doesn't like confrontation much (unless its playful roughhousing! jokes fly completely over her head! i'm thinking she tends to a lovely orchard of various fruit trees, and probably cultivates some crops for fun as well. maybe seasonal ones? pumpkins for the spooky season, fir trees for those snowy days, etc.
Casey J. Mittens - he/him - aro
this orange fella is scaredy cat central! unfortunately for him, he's also curious to a fault! curiosity killed the cat, and he fears the day that rings true for him! he'd rather curl up at home or in a cozy tree, crocheting something cute from one of his many balls of yarn than do anything else. he tries to be a voice of reason, but is too easily convinced otherwise. he's that friend who says "we shouldn't be doing this" as he wholeheartedly assists in the shenanigan in question.
Hettie (currently undecided) - she/her - bi
true to her honeybee heritage, Hettie is a florist! she boasts an impressive array of flowers that she tends to like her life depends on it. she's always running around to make sure they're all getting the best care - and she's always checking in on her pals to make sure they're taken care of, too. she's a busy bee who wouldn't know a day's rest if it stung her on the ass! It takes a lot to make her mad, but everybody better watch out when her wings start buzzing
Daisy Hop - she/him - pan
i actually created Daisy as a supplementary character for a certain au, but realized i could find a place for her in this little group. i'm thinking he runs a little shop - a roadside stall, more like - where she can both sell her own homemade candy & his friends' stuff! she's the only one in the group that can keep up with Hettie's energy, and even surpass it at times. though unlike Hettie, Daisy knows how to take (and appreciate) a break!
Jesterly - whatever/is/funniest - Derry
a menace. they love pranks above all else, oftentimes at the expense of others. he's always up to something and is never not scheming something! there's always Someone to bother! in all honesty she's more like an annoying stray cat that no one can get rid of... and they better not try, or they'll face the wrath of this fool's Very large partner! The jester's cap never comes off, and neither does the mask!
Derry Drake - they/them - Jesterly
there's no sugarcoating it - Derry is a big lazy grump! it's almost impossible to get them out of their cave, or off of any place they decide to nap. the only thing that can reliably get them moving is the promise - or prospect - of food. it's a wonder how they've accumulated such a hoard of random things in the back of their cave, seeing as they rarely get up at all. they're incredibly nearsighted and bite first, ask questions later - after all, who knows if the colorful blob in front of them is food or not! better to be safe than hungry!
currently in my mind they have their own little community deep in the woods. Daisy lives in a modified burrow, Maisy has a cute farmhouse, Casey lives in a cozy treehouse, Hettie has a small cottage, and Derry & Jesterly live in a cave. within their community, they share practically everything. want a snack? pluck something from the orchard. need a new pair of mittens? ask Casey! i suppose you could say they're communists <3 (except for Daisy. she won't charge his friends, but anyone else is free game)
Mairy and Hettie have romantic tension, Daisy and Derry are the only ones who can tolerate Jes, Mairy wants Jes dead, Casey is terrified of Derry, Daisy's rapid-fire speech confuses everyone but Hettie, etc. i should make a chart for funsies...
#if i want to get realllly out of my comfort zone#i could talk about how my brain automatically started going 'ok this is how they interact with The Neighbors'#but i think. ill save that for now#listen listen for my whole life ive always kept my fan-ocs expressly separate from canon characters#i either put them far away from the action or in a different point in time entirely#but i can. i can have fun? with this maybe? its just a silly side thing... im playing with dolls...#i have Thoughts...#scribble salad#wh oc#welcome home oc#mairy will sometimes crush Difficult To Crush things to intimidate choice people#she's intimidating and she knows it! she'd rather be nice but sometimes a bitch has to get smacked#mairy: im a pacifist#mairy: *loading shotgun* however-#derry often steals casey's yarn for their own hoard#so casey has to go steal it back (or ask for it. either way derry makes a fuss)#I LOVE THEM. FUCK#i dont need any more ocs please... i already have several hundred...

"the way the fandom portrays shanks when referring to shuggy is out of character and he has moved on" aha. aha. yeah. have you considered i like shanks to be a wet depressed cat who's pining for his childhood best friend
#'but-' but nothing i like him dramatic and sad#and also it's not that far from canon we don't know shit abt shanks he shows up every 100 episodes i'm sure his seiyuu doesn't even get pai#i get why some people complain but you can make him respect buggy's decision to leave him and be mature and also be a fucking pining idiot#balance is the key#one piece#red haired shanks#buggy the clown#shuggy

Okay... you got me. They're cute.
(Screencaps from the trailer for the upcoming series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, featuring the apparent protagonist, Dolph Laserhawk and his canonical boyfriend, Alex Taylor, whom Ubisoft describes as "the love of his life").
Also Tokyopop is doing the comic adaptation and dang the cover art by Bayou Kun "for the "boys love manga adaptation" - iOS
(Though as a disclaimer, I wouldn't recommend buying this, it's pretty bad)
#Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix#Dolph Laserhawk#Alex Taylor#hello#I mean if you feel the urgent need to reference Liefeld#making it super damn and canonically gay is a must#also it's ubisoft and I don't trust them as far as I can throw them#but kudos to whoever got this through#they're fucking adorable#this is a weird intersection of three terrible companies that weirdly looks good#Ubisoft Netflix and Tokyopop can fuck off#also I watched a playthrough of the DLC this is based off of and I don't think you have to bother if you don't care#no cry of far knowledge required imo#think this is a case of 'our fanfic got away from us' and good

A DEVIL REBORN
Happy Halloween!!! A detailed ID will be placed under the cut (it's close to being 1K i could literally post this to Ao3)
p1. ड्याम्म (dyamma) - Nepali for "(feeling) full", "hitting something"
p3. Chutiya - Hindi for "idiot", "moron" and other related insults
p5. க்ரீச் (kreech) - Tamil onomatopoeia describing scraping/screeching sounds
[Extended Image ID: DYAMMA! Slamming his hands on a table, Achanba Okram finds himself in the darkness of his laboratory. He is wearing black clothes and a white lab coat on top, and has a bowl cut with rectangular glasses.
His thoughts whirl within boxes that are coloured gold and are outlined with red; they put a voice to the uneasy feelings Okram knows are stirring inside of him. The thought boxes read:
With Pavitr gone, I finally have time to string my thoughts together. Half-drowned answers bleed out of my pores. Coalescing like some great, abysmal creature of unknown origin.
Bracing his hands against the table, Okram is acutely aware of his body, of the gaping holes in his back that bubble with demonic energy. His thoughts narrate, My body quakes when I begin to question, wracked with paranoia. With dread, as if the idea of what I had to face was unbearable.
The holes in back — four of them, spaced evenly from each other — begin to ooze golden liquid, hot like fire and viscous like tar.
And yet, Okram thinks, I felt it all the same: that crawling, scintillating horror of my reality. Of my tainted flesh and blood. My being here is the work of demonic forces.
Golden arms, fluid yet bony, powered by some otherworldly thing, unravel from the void in his back. They flounder and expand around him, filling the lab with a cold glow. The fingers are tipped with talons, and, if he looked hard enough, Okram swears they are edged with blood.
I died years ago, Okram thinks. I lost my humanity to the fire of the devil's madness. Thus, the question remains: what is the future of Achanba Okram, a DEVIL REBORN?
The lights of the lab suddenly brighten, and Okram hears him before he sees him. His arms register the presence of the other person, immediately unraveling and slipping out of reality. Just outside, Pavitr Prabhakar's voice calls, "HEY, DOCTOR OKRAM! Sorry I'm late! Traffic was abysmal today."
Pavitr's entrance catches Okram by surprise, and he stutters out, "PAVITR?! You- ah- you have one of your shifts today?"
His thoughts reprimand him, You CHUTIYA! Pavitr always has his shifts on Tuesdays!
Pavitr is unaware of Okram's turmoil, sauntering into the laboratory while hefting up a white plastic bag. He's wearing a black and white flannel shirt, and he has circular earrings. Pavitr's eyes are trained on the bag in his hand. He answers Okram's question with, "Yeah, I do. I, uh, got a little hungry along the way (I'm always so hungry)." Pavitr whispers the last part as he lifts the bag up. He continues, "so I went and bought some vada pav, and—"
He suddenly pauses, his eyes locking onto Okram. He can't tell what is going beyond Pavitr's eyes, but the other man's analysing gaze unnerves Okram to a degree beyond description.
(In Pavitr's POV: his Spider-Sense was just triggered. Red and gold squiggly lines emanate from and surround his head in a halo.)
Pavitr lowers the bag slightly in concern. "Uhm," Pavitr says "are you okay, Doctor?"
Dread and fear floods Okram's system. Suddenly he is hyperaware of everything in the room, including the golden arm that has sprouted from his back and was lying on the workbench behind him, right in Pavitr's line of sight.
Play dumb! Okram's mind screams at him. Accordingly, Okram replies, a tad too tightly, "Of course I am, Pavitr! Why wouldn't I be?"
KREECH. The golden arm scrapes its taloned fingers across the table, no doubt giving away its location.
Okram chuckles nervously, sweating almost immediately, at which his mind howls, Not that dumb!
Pavitr narrows his eyes at Okram and at the golden arm on the workbench. "Are those...demonic arms?" he asks Okram, a shadow crossing his face.
(In Pavitr's POV: In the back of his mind, Pavitr sees a vague and faded image forming in response to seeing the arms. He remembers Doctor Octopus, the man with two extra sets of arms who had attacked him many years ago; he was one of the first villains Pavitr fought as Spider-Man. But... Doctor Octopus died a long time ago. Perhaps...?)
"Oh, Doctor..."
Pavitr's gaze softens as he asks, "Are you being haunted by demons? Have you been attacked by them? Why didn't you tell me? I'm so sorry this has been happening to you. I can't imagine how stressful this is for you." A moment, and then, "Do you want to talk about?"
Okram hides his face in his hands, quickly responding, "No, I'm alright, Pavitr."
Pavitr walks forward, placing his bag down and reaching down to place a reassuring hand on Okram's shoulder. "But, Doctor, men of your generation have ignored their mental health for too long."
"Yes, I know," Okram sighs.
"It'll be okay, Doctor," Pavitr promises, "we can figure something out!"
"And what?" Okram asks somewhat sarcastically. "You will be here with me 'every step of the way'?"
"One hundred percent!" Pavitr says.
Behind them, one of Okram's demonic arms reaches out to peer at Pavitr and Okram; if an arm could be happy, it certainly was. The arm is seemingly pleased with Pavitr's helpful and understanding nature. /.End ID]

Rooney Shepard (They/Them): RELIC AU
There are stranger things I've learned on the outside
Separated by an open door
I find it hard to reach the end of my timeline
Salivating 'cause I wanted more
Is this the end or is this the beginning?

Figured we'd make a stance on this now that things have come out.
We had already distanced ourselves from making tmc content for a couple months now but this has hammered in us not touching or further pursuing creating TMC content as of today.
Its unfortunate our AUs will be left abandoned because of this but we'll keep whats current up alone as a) this art blog does act as a portfolio for our art and b) its already been up for a time and the AUs are still their own thing even if they have been or are attached to TMC.
Furthermore, FUCK ALEX. Fuck what he did to StirringJuice and everyone else who were harmed because of his selfish and horrible actions.
What he did was disgusting and that man doesn't deserve his platform. May he rot for what he did to so many people that even included his fucking fans as well!
#Alex Kister mention#Maybe we'll recreate a bunch of the characters we put our own spin on into ocs#Our Cesar was already far from his canon self#I mean we never saw the real Cesar so you know#Vilbur Soot - 💥#Everyone in front is so disappointed#Fuck Alex

hear me out; delores as one of those carousel horses.
hmm. i'm not mad at it
[ID: a drawing of Delores as a carousel horse (or rather, carousel centaur) instead of a mannequin. Her hair is broken off, as well as her arm and one of her legs. Her horse part is red and she has a curly yellow tail. Her saddle and top (which resembles the bodice of a fancy dress, without the dress) are both molded on, and are made up of matching pink, blue, green, gold, and cloudy white. The shading and highlight colors are very bright and chaotic, and the line art has been drawn over by the colors in places. End ID]
It was interesting to draw not just a simplified horse, but someone else's simplification of a horse. Those are different shapes than I do! Also, a note on Delores' hair: she's bald in the show because of course she is, it's pretty common for mannequins to be bald, but why would a carousel statue lady be bald? They're not gonna put a wig on those, the hair would be molded on. So I drew her as having had hair at some point, but broken off by now
#tua#the umbrella academy#honestly this is so far removed from tua canon i feel bad about tagging it lmao#dolores tua#delores tua#i dont like this more than my original idea- i do prefer either keeping her exactly as canon or making her a real girl#making everyone a horse is already The Most Dumb i may as well just really have fun and make delores real-#but i liked this idea enough that it merited an image#centaur#centaur au#carousel horse#carousel#i might as well tag it! without the surrounding context i'd just be posting a carousel horse!#my art#return of my fucked up apocalypse coloring but a little different this time

“Why do you draw them like they’re dating?”
I can’t see a possible reality where they are dating. Puting just one label on their relationship, no matter how accurate the label might be, feels like I’m erasing years of experiences between them. Saying they are one definitive thing is removing the contradicting nature of both of their beings, it’s removing the choice they both have. They aren’t a couple, they aren’t a pair, they aren’t a duo, they aren’t enemies or lovers. They may act in ways we perceive as platonic or romantic, and to them maybe they are those things, but those are just the surface layer of thread that covers a knotted twine ball. Soulmates? Attached at the hip? Stuck? trapped? Dependent? Married? Maybe their own definitions contradict each other, maybe they’re complements. They are something not even I know, and to be honest it’s not information that’s entitled to anyone but themselves, if they even choose to share it with one another.
Anyway yeah they probably kiss n stuff but like as roommates

thank you to @thatweirdnoise for pointing out to me that the qsmp among us was called a mini event by the qsmpen update account, and could therefore be argued canon with the cubitos… bc it gave me a thought
look, i’m not saying that (q)Cellbit and (q)Roier AKA the imposter duo murder husbands™️ remind me of f!Cell and c!Roier… but they remind me of them
#i know chafaland isn’t canon as far as we’re all concerned#BUT the ship exists and quite frankly it’s a good one SO#it is what it is#also the idea of qbaghera using a computer from wherever the fuck the feds put her#is so fucking funny to me#qsmp cellbit#qsmp roier#spiderbit#qsmp#take it all as you will

Hey, I think I missed a bit of lore or something, what’s the pit? And what’s the goop™️?
oh yeah no i haven't really talked about those Important Things yet! mostly because i'm still solidifying how they work in my mind... i try my best to adhere to canon, since to me aus are an exploration of the source / characters, so... its still tenuous. i have to think and consider and run parallel - there's a balance i'm still trying to find
like The Pit™️ (the spiral/eye void under Home) in Lights Out is gonna be different from the canon one since i started thinking about the au before the update. and the update changed my perception / theories on what the void is! but the au Pit™️ needs to remain mostly the way it originally was, or a lot of "plot" points fall apart
#and then the Goop™️ is like... the fuckin... black sludge stuff...#yk? the stuff? the stuff that makes humans sick?#its that but slightly to the left#the more i think about canon the more i realize that the au needs to diverge slightly more than i'd like lol#but thank fuck its remaining more... Smooth than canon if that makes sense. it has less facets#its more Straightforward. less wonderfully complex. shrimplicity over delicious intricacies#but im getting wildly off point! this is not what you asked! sorry!#but anyway to put it simply for the au:#the pit under home is filled with the black stuff. its the source#and the black stuff / goop is uh. well its everywhere and its Important and wally can manipulate it to a limited extent#also it chokes frank to death sorry xoxo#ok its a lil more complicated than that but yk yk#rambles from the bog#wh lights out au#but yeah the update came out and i went#Oh! I Got It Wrong! Neat!#i am honestly happy about it#i like being wrong in certain situations. this is one of them.#but for ease of the au and to keep it at a respectful distance from canon without straying too far#ill keep my Original Thoughts / Theory as au-canon!

i don't personally agree with the perspective that "miguel NEEDS to partially correct about canon events, otherwise he's a villain" because like. setting aside the issue of possibly naturalising the irl choices writers made (e.g. fridging gwen) through the concept of 'canon events', to me defining miguel's morality comes down to two questions:
What is Miguel's intent when pursuing his goal? <- it's unambigiously heroic. he desires to save people. and -
Can I plausibly understand how he has come to the belief system (and therefore goal) he has? Yes. I can understand why, when viewing the things he did (universal patterns of suffering between spidermen & the trauma of that dimension collapse), he came to the conclusion he did.
Keep in mind the other bits of information we and the characters are working with are:
Anomalies seem to affect the world they're in (Vulture appears to affect the Guggenheim's structure w glitches)
They're also in danger of dying if they don't have a stabaliser like the watch
But say for the sake of argument Miguel is completely wrong about breaking canon and doing so would not endanger anyone and the alt dimension collapsed for reasons utterly out of Miguel's knowledge or control. That still doesn't negate the heroic intent he operated by nor his desire to save people.
What "How much or little is Miguel correct?" affects is how tragic it makes Miguel's guilt and the moral concessions he feels that guilt about. Whether you would argue for it being needlessly tragic or bleak is another conversation entirely but how correct he is about what damage canon events cause doesn't actually change the fact he operated on sincerely good and heroic intentions.. And I think atsv already sets up that last point in an understandable manner.
#long post#tunes talks spiderverse#she came. she never shut up about miguel. she posted fdshfkshdfjsd#the reason i outline the knowledge of what seems to be the unquestionable consequences of anomalies in alt worlds#is so you can understand why miguel occum razor's miles changing canon as the reason theres a black hole under pav's world#we've already been shown it's possible for anomalies to affect the stability of a world (this seems to be a quiet change from itsv) and#spot firing up a baby collider and using his powers didnt open up a black hole under 1610 new york (as far as we know)#so if youre already predisposed to believing fucking w canon will cause harm i can understand WHY even if i think hes not correct#miguel and spider society assumes miles' action causes that unravelling. ESP when taken in conjunction w miguel believing his own world#jumping caused an unravelling and he applies that same fearful reasoning to whats happening here#i dont think hes correct but i understand WHY he came to conclusion he did esp when u keep in mind the kind of doublebind#miguel is IN already when it comes to being terrified hes got it wrong all over again but also being terrified of the stakes HE LITERALLY#THINKS HE EXPERIENCED (and he DID experience that trauma. even if it turns out it happened for a reason that wasnt his fault or even#related to him being in that dimension at all)

Okay this is apparently a Magic theory blog now. But I just gotta...
I'm talking with the wifey. About the most recent side story, the Ravnica one. And I simply MUST present my theories about Jace, Vraska, and how Norn is a fucking IDIOT.
Spoilers for March of the Machines, but it's been out for a couple of days now so. If you haven't read it yet, tough tiddies.
Okay. My Theory.
Jace is playing Norn like a fiddle, and he saved Vraska.
Jace ALWAYS has a plan. Always. He doesn't leave things to chance- he's just like that. There's precedence for him preserving his mind in the face of some altering or possessing influence (see what happened with Emrakul, where he created a little mental "safe house" for himself. Also see what happened with Vraska- little mental "safe house" for her). Jace is NOT the kind of person who would go to fight the Phyrexians, knowing he might get Compleated, and not have a plan to preserve his mind. I think that, combined with the fact that he was fucking stabbed with a sword made of fucking HALO, makes a pretty good case for Jace being more himself than Norn would want him to be.
Not to mention the whole bit where he just. Dips before Norn gives him any orders. We see in the chapter that Norn is assuming that he already knows what she wants... But we have also seen that Elesh Norn's biggest weakness is her hubris. The way she is so assured of her own rightness has consistently been her undoing. It cost her Tamiyo, Ixahel is rebellious. Even Atraxa, Norn's own daughter, is not immune to individual thought and feeling (saw art and had an existential crisis there, didn't you, Atraxa?).
So if Jace is himself, if he isn't under Norn's control as much as he should be, or even at all. If Jace is still purely JACE. What do you think this oh-so-smart-but-still-so-stupid lovesick bisexual man is going to do?
The same thing he did before. Go after his fucking girlfriend.
The entire Ravnica story, from Vraska's perspective, demonstrates that some part of her is preserved. Her mind is safe from Norn's corruption (and I am specifically calling it that because I think the idea that phyresis and Phyrexians are inherently corrupting and evil is stupid, tired, and abelist as well). She persists in there and, when she "dies", she is preserved.
So when Jace showed up, at first? Yeah- I thought Vraska was dying, and she was just giving herself the closure she needed. Getting to spend just a little more time with her beloved, even if it wasn't real.
But then shit started jumping out at me. Vraska's mind was in a place that JACE created for her. Everything seemed too real. There was a moment when Vraska experienced their kiss from Jace's perspective- how could a memory in her head do that? The way that Jace reacted to things she said (asking to make it right, a do-over, another chance)....
And then Jace telling her "this part hurts", like he KNOWS. The explosion of white light instead of what I frankly would have expected from her death, a fading into peaceful darkness.
And all of this was purely wishful thinking-
And then her fucking body vanished. Ral fucked up the oil in her, and then her body was GONE.
So, current running theory in this house?
Vraska's mind, her self, was preserved in the mental safe house that Jace made for her. Something we've seen him do in the past for himself in the face of mind-altering forces. Then, Ral fucked up the Phyrexian oil and that really took Vraska apart. But when she went down, she ACTUALLY spoke to Jace. That vision of Jace in her head was the real Jace, communicating with her while he tried to save her. And as for the flash of white light, well, bare with me here...
Halo. Jace was stabbed with a sword made of Halo, and I think its power might have given him the edge he needed to win over Norn's influence. What if he simply did the same thing to her? "This part hurts"- because Jace KNOWS what it feels like for his Phyrexian body to be flooded with Halo.
I could be wrong. I really hope I'm right. Because if WotC gives us this, saves these two, then there is HOPE for Nissa because holy FUCK if they disrespect the fucking gays again with this one... Normally I would say I find it hard to believe that anyone can build up a relationship's significance like Chandra and Nissa's has and then fuck it up, but WotC has done it once.
