Why I do not think Luz will leave the demon realm. An analysis of the general themes

Amphibia, The Owl Houses... sibling Isekia fantasy cartoon has ended. The show stared Anne Boonchuy who along with 2 of her best friends is transported to another world, where all three girls are separated and they meet humanoid amphibious creatures who take them on adventures. These adventures parallel different lessons learned as you grow up and have the girls taking more critical looks at who they are as people, and whom they are as a group... There is also some stuff about a prophecy, classism, and totalitarian rule. But it is all kinda written in as extra. It’s just there to make a coming of age story more exciting for viewers.

With Amphibia over, the owl house wrapping up, and the two shows having so many similarities and differences I thought it might be a good time to compare and contrast messages between the shows, and talk about predictions for how The Owl House will end. Amphibia was always a coming of age story, with a secondary theme of being about old friendships.The three girls have been “friends since kindergarten” but no longer have all that many common interests, and increasingly separate needs. This kinda makes their friendship seem almost like a habit of their childhood. They all carry around developed copies of this photo of the three of them together, and will talk to it. But despite looking like they are all the same age in it as they are now, the photos are all old, wrinkled, and starting to tear... signifying that the girls are beginning to grow apart and becoming old friends. They make more current friendships with the he inhabitants of Amphibia, and those are their main friendships throughout the show. They grow up more with those inhabitants, help them, and come to really love and care abut them. But it is all done with the knowledge and acceptance that this is temporary. The amphibians belong on Amphibia and the girls belong on earth, and there will come a time when they will have to let each other go. There is of course some debate of “well what if”, “well how about” , “and “just a little longer” but at the end Amphibia pretty much went back to the messages of growing up can be hard but is necessary, and old friends, and fond memories...

Unlike Amphibia I do not think The Owl house is about growing up. Yeah sure Luz and Co mature through out the show, Their magical abilities grow. In 2x04 Luz works with Gwendolyn to heal Eda’s curse through extreme and crazy means. They try flying snakes which Luz later remarks were a bad and unhelpful idea... When in 1x01 Luz is in the principals office for her terrorizing her English Class by throwing live snakes around during a book report, because apparently the main character battles snakes, and  she expects congratulations for thinking it up. King’s wants in life also change. He starts out wanting to be this mighty ruler and powerful monster, then he just wants answers to his past, then he just wants what he has. Ultimetaley though the characters maturing isn’t really what is front and center with the Owl House.

No, one big theme throughout the Owl house seems to be building a supportive community. It is actually really amazing in this show how background characters that do not, or rarely speak, are shown to have interests and recurring friendships. At school Luz hangs out with 2 good friends and her girlfriend. Willow and Gus are on a sports team that Luz and Amity support but do not want to be part of, so Willow and Gus recruit three other witches. Amity is Luz’s overachieving, book loving, sometimes cranky girlfriend. She also has a job she loves, helping out in the library.  Plus a family whom she has a rocky relationship with. Events during the show, helped along but not necessary created because of Luz, show she has begun taking steps to build healthier relationships with them. These are all core parts of Amity’s character. Eda is a middle aged women and the adopted/foster mother of two young children. She also has pushed away many of the people whom she cared about growing up. She opens up more through out the show and eventually makes the decision to reconnect with her family and ex, because she feels she needs more support for herself and her children (whom she makes a priority to still treat like children and not like adults/soldiers.). I think the best example of this is Hunter. He is a kid on the wrong side, in an abusive situation, that he does not fully recognize for the bad it is. In some other media it would be entirely up to Luz as the “protagonist hero” to show him whats wrong and save him from it (something that is to big a job for one young girl) . In The Owl House she plays a part in Hunter leaving. But he also has flapjack, Darius, Raine, and all the kids on the Emerald Entrails.

With so much of a focus on building supportive communities in the boiling, and a complete lack of it that shown in Gravesfeild, not just for Luz but also for Camila and Vee in her true form, I cannot imagine the show ending with the family living in Gravesfeild permanently. Camila and Luz seem to have no other family. There are no pictures of Grandparents, Aunts/Uncles, or Cousins around the house. No mention of any close work friends of Camila’s or neighbors who come over for dinner or occasionally watch Luz during long shifts. The pair are completely on their own, and its hard for them. Also now there is Vee. She loves Camila, Camila is a really good guardian/mom to her, and her and Luz seem to get along pretty well in Yesterday’s Lie. Luz’s has gained around 3 siblings since the beginning of the show and has reacted positively to all of them. While Vee says she is happier in the human realm (mostly because their is no Belos), it's really dangerous for her. She needs a steady stream of fresh magic to maintain a human form, and if she is seen in her Basilisk she gets accused of being an alien and dragged away for tests. There is also the fact that she has to pretend to be Luz. People say when Luz comes back they can just pretend to be twins, but eventually the “where was your twin before?” question will be asked. They cannot get away with “oh she lived with our dad but recently moved in with us" for long because it has to be in Luz’s school and legal file somewhere that her dad died years ago. Because their is no legal record of Vee in the human realm Camila cannot legally adopt her and then enroll her in school under her own identity...

But Camila could probably adopt Vee in the boiling isles and then send her to hexside with Luz. There would be an easier supply of magic for Vee to feed off of. Luz could keep going to school with all her new friends. With a principal and staff who are able to not only manage her, but help her channel her enthusiasm into learning. The Clawthorne’s could stay connected to Luz as her “God family” and would be available to help Camila with her girls when things come up. Camila would probably get along with them too, plus maybe even Mr. Porter or the Parks, (the Blights... she wouldn’t dislike Amity at least). When we first saw Camila in her work uniform we all thought she was a nurse, but the show later clarified that she is actually a vet... Well vet’s work on autonomy different form a humans, and there is a whole magic track in the isles dedicated to the care and keeping of beasts. Camila is clever, Luz has connections to two very powerful beast keepers... it wouldn’t be that hard for Camila to learn and get hired in beast keeping, and given that she is shown to have such a fondness for exotic wild life (she gets emotional over nature documentaries) she would likely enjoy it.

End the show by ridding the isles of Belos and his evil plans, Bring Camila and Vee to live there and have the Noceda’s move permanently. Please.

Edalyn Clawthone: If you could change your name, what would you change it to? Lilith Clawthorne: Forty exclamation points in a row, pronounced like a person screaming.

Lilith Clawthone.

It was for collabo.

Lilith: Eda tell the owl door thingy to shut up I am trying to read.

Eda: I have tried it doesn't shut up.

The day of the first family reunion after Luz had started living on the Isles was one she had been both excited and dreaded. On one hand she couldn't wait to introduce the rest of the family to actual genuine magic. And to her girlfriend. On the other hand....she was fairly sure that one of her aunts was going to cause problems. And with that came concerns.

OR

Eda, Lilith, and Amity meet the Noceda pack and there are metaphorical fireworks. And not of the pretty variety.

Meet my Cartoon Wives becouse..... I said so.

That's it that's my post.

(As they flew out, a few of them still using what Azem could bring in to help protect the S.S. Biscuit (including Azem themself), they spotted the enemy factions making their way to the place. They did face resistance, however, for though the place was in chaos after the slaughter of the leaders of Shinra, they soldiers proved more capable of defending against attacks then expected, particularly when their own Magitek machines where brought out. It didn’t completely destroy all the enemies, but they did fail to properly enter Midgar and where forced to more remote bases, away from it and other cities, only scouts only able to act as spies getting in. The heroes did notice a peculiar group of individuals, who seemingly also fought off the invaders but didn’t seem to be on the same side as the guards protecting Midgar. Thus, a few of the solo fliers landed near them to negotiate)

(A.N. A few things. First, turns out it’s Midgar and not Midgard. Second, let’s use the FFVII Remake timeline, so Aerith is with the party but not Cid, Yuffie, Vincent, or Cait Sith. Finally, I’ll let you chose who does the negotiation. Also, please note what was used to fly alongside the S.S. Biscuit if possible, FFXIV has mounts like the Ufiti (a flying gorilla) or the Hybodus (a flying shark) to choose from. Here’s a link if you’d like to see them all: https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts)

*Luz and Amity decided ride atop a fat moogle to be together, Eda, and Lilith just rode her staff, S.A.M was riding a Starlight bear because they seem to get along well, and Ross was riding Hybodus due to sharks being his second favorite animal (his most favorite are raccoons due to how sneaky they are)*

Cloud, after noticing the strangers: What the...?

Eda, after landing: Hey how's it going strangers? My name is Edalyn Clawthone but you can call me Eda for short!

Lilith: And I am her sister, Lilith Clawthorne.

Lilith: Fuck it give me a gun.

Eda: Hold on we have one of those we could of taken care of things a long time ago.

Lilith: Belos is Here again this time he has a sign that says "Free Cookies".

Eda: Did you say Free Cookies.

Lilith: Its Belos.

Eda: Yeah but Free.

Eda: Have you ever thought about Kicking Kiki Like a soccer ball?

Lilith: Yeah at least once a day.

Eda: Belos did WHAT?

Lilith: He Once removed my head and used it as a tennis ball I was awake though out the whole thing.

Lilith: Fuck....

Eda: What did I say about Swearing around the kid.

*Eda five minutes later*.

Eda: *Droups mug* Fuck....

Lilith: Eda.

Eda: Yeah Yeah I know.

Lilith: Eda the door won't stop looking at me.

Eda: You are the one who tried to hit it with a stick.

Hooty: Hoot Hoot she has a point Hoot Hoot.

Lilith: It wouldn't shut up.

Eda: Does it ever.

Hooty: No Hoot Hoot.

Lilith: Hey Eda want to see a disappointment.

Eda: Yeah.

Lilith: Your looking at one.

Eda: I don't drink that much.

Lilith: You have been through 3 bottles of wine in the last 2 hours.

Eda: That's not a lot I normaly can have 5 in that time.

Sisters through All (The Owl House AU)

(This is a Fanfiction idea I have.)

Eda being a powerful witch becomes a threat to Belos. Instead of Lilith placeing the curse on Eda Belos does. Lilith becomes the only one besides Belos who knows of the curse.

Every night Eda becomes The Owl Beast and can during the day if she doesn't keep her emotions in check.

The Owl Beast only trusts Lilith.

Eda has Little control over the beast being trapped in her mind space never knowing what happens after a transformation (Like the show)

Lilith fights Belos for Eda but is injured badly in the battle.

Eda while trying to deal with her curse has to help Lilith with her Injury's

Lilith worries more about Eda then her own Injury's and still hunts for a cure while healing.

Belos hunts for the Clawthone sisters who are now hiding in the place they call The Owl House.

Eda and Lilith find a Key to another world. Where a girl named Luz finds her way in.

Luz chooses she wants to stay with the Clawthone sisters but they both are against it at first becouse of the curse.
