More Idea’s for multi-track students

Multi-track studies is starting to become more popular at hexside

Edric and Emira taking multi-tracks has literally been the ending I have wanted for them since 1x12 “Adventures In The Elements” when we learned they are top scorers, and got strong hints that one reason they skip school frequently is that they are bored in class and do not see the point when they already know most of whats being taught. Like I do not care about seeing them in ships (I have seen people post pretty compelling reasons why they should at least become friends with Viney and Hunter, and I would like to know whom the “date” Edric went out with in TtLG is, but ultimately that is not what I am most interested in with them) just put my children into a curriculum that is both challenging and rewarding to them. Its even better that while they are still taking illusion together (something they have always done as a team); they also have classes where they will be separated and can have their own space to pursue individual interests. I don’t think anyone has pointed this out yet but Edric and Emira are only like 1 year younger than Stan and Ford were in A-Tale-of-Two-Stans and we got a tiny glimpse of them starting to have similar problems to Stan and Ford in Grom. So changing things up now can help spare them a lot of bad/issues down the road.

Now let’s move on to Mattholomule. Him deciding to take illusions along with construction is something I did not see coming, but I love it. Thank you Gus. It makes a lot of sense too. We saw Matt try and do construction magic in TtLG and we saw how his efforts were... kinda rough/ not exactly tuned. Its not that he is necessarily bad/has no talent for construction. It’s just that he seems to struggle a bit with turning images in his head into actual objects outside his body. This is a very real and common issue for a lot of people. It does not mean give up, it just means that maybe someone needs to add an extra step or try apply a diffrent way of going about a task. Illusion magic is a perfect example of that. Lets say Matt needs to design a structure. Do it in illusion first. Get the height, angle , and all those little details smoothed out. Then use the illusionary structure as a diagram for the real 3d structure. By Labyrinth runners Mattholomules magic has already become much more fluid. He may have started out as just a stooge for a jerk who had an easier time than him,but our little construction rat will make a great witch yet.

Now with season 2 ending and season 3 shortened I do not expect many more episodes to take place in Hexside (sighs because Hexside is one of my favorite places in the boiling isles) and I really do not think we will have time for an episode surrounding the cast trying to encourage more into students into multi-tracks. But we could still get an ending where the show is going over all the changes that have been made on the isles over the course of the show, and one scene shows a bunch of secondary/background characters now wearing multi-track uniforms as they mingle around Hexside. Here are some ideas for who may be interested in what.

Skara: Starts taking healing as well as bard magic. She very well may already want this. So much of Skara’s time and so many of her actual genuine friends are with the healing track

Boshca: I could maybe see Boscha, if given the opportunity, deciding to take beast keeping as well as potions. Fairies would be her favorite beast.

Puffer fish headed Abomination Student who “just wants to get through the year”: you know the one with the cute sloth palisman. I am less sure about him than some of these others, but what if he starts taking oracle and abominations.

redheaded queer oracle student: oracle and bard

Hunter: So whatever Hunter decides to do at the end of the season and whomever he decides to go with we all agree he will be enrolling at Hexisde right? As for what classes he will take I can see him enrolling in potions and plants. (Not just for Willow, again I am not basing these off ships). Both are courses he could take even with his setback of not having a bilesack, both kind of fit in with the types of wild magic he has let himself slip into having fun discussions with Luz on. And the colors to those tracks could kinda represent his two personas “The Golden Guard” and “Caleb, star player of the Emerald Entrails” and him fully fledging into his own person. If these two are not enough for him maybe throw in oracle, depends on if that would make him more or less anxious.

Amity: okay so I can never see Willow or Gus taking multi-track classes. I really think they are supposed to be personifications of plant and illusion magic and all that those particular tracks are capable of. So if that's the rule for Luz’s inner circle of friends, and accounting for just ho much Amity has been shown to genuinely care about and have passion for Abomination magic, then I kind of want her to just sick with it... But I also note just how much she has been shown to care about and be passionate for books and literature. So I would also maybe like to see her join the bard track and go on to write abomination tutorials or stories surrounding abomination witches.

Long pod on owl house finale

This is late but I got distracted by way too many fanart and liking them all

It happened I finally watched a satisfying finale more satisfying then Steven universe finale that I loved so much thank you so much Dana and everyone who worked on this show it was amazing and wonderful!

Spoilers underneath

Things I love are the lumity ,huntlow ,and reada moments they are all canon. The take this sucka ,line luz said the thing ! while she finishes belos.

I loved this was more about Luz ,eda ,and king and their found family this is their story they are the main characters ! And them using the power of found family to defeat belos that’s how I saw it . I loved the collector really I do love his development and it’s just he didn’t understand death and mortality cause he’s a child whose immortal . Oh and Luz awesome titan power up form she looked so awesome! belos death was satisfying He deserved to go that way.

I love everyone’s time skip design eda is the headmaster love that it just fits so much and of course she’d have hook ,king learning his own glyph magic so cute .

I cried at Luz death scene I really thought for a moment Dana would kill her off ,even though I went through this with Anne in Amphibia and should have known better ,dame that was a good one. I love the amazing score it was all just so well done the most satisfying animated finale I’ve seen oh and the finale group BYEE I love how they brought that back that way it was the best send off the this beautiful show!

I know it was shortened and they couldn’t put everything they wanted to do but with what much time they had they did more then their best I’m satisfied and I can’t understand anymore who is disappointed by that you knew it was shortened you have to understand why they didn’t put more or just what wanted this show us full of actual love and Great writing ,amazing acting ,wonderful gorgeous animation and art. how can you not feel satisfied I know you want more and maybe there’ll be comic stories they can do only if Disney gives all the rights of the characters and story back to Dana she deserves it more then them!

I love you luz ,I love you eda , I love you king ,I love you amity, I love you willow ,I love you gus ,I love you hunter ,I love you raine ,I love you vee ,I love you camila ,oh the twins are great too so are you viney and skara so is masha Steve and the catts are cool, I’ve come to love collector and even Lilith even you hooty you abomination bird worm !

Hello, friend!!! I hope you have been well, and your cats too 💖

Nowz for the TOH ask game... 2, 8, 16? 👀

Thank you, pal, you're so sweet and I hope you've been doing well too! 💖✨

2. Favorite episode of season 2?

Tbh S2 fucks so hard I'm not sure I can pick a favorite. I have to cheat by picking one for both the first half and second half of the season haha!

S2A might have to go to Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door, the amount of speed running plot development all thanks to Hooty my favorite weirdo, it was just insane. I remember when the episode first aired and how much it made my brain boil from what it revealed about Eda's backstory and the growth of accepting the beast resulting in her hot harpy form, the bits of world building with King's situation that continued on from what Echoes of the Past started, and obviously Lumity became canon. I genuinely expected it to take the entire show for them to start dating but no they got together about half way into the show, all thanks to Hooty meddling in everyone's business. Hooty was always one of my favs and the way he was treated in S1 always bummed me out, so this episode both addressing how excluded he felt while also having him (kinda accidentally) provide the much needed pushes for each of King, Eda, and Luz was just 🤌 the ending too omg the way everyone freaked out about him eating that letter then womp womp it ended up being a good thing he did haha

S2B I have to pick Any Sport In A Storm.

Listen. Listen. This episode is such a comfort, ok? It's got Hunter development where he finally gets to socialize (in a healthy way) with other kids, Willow gets her design update AND she's finally genuinely developing confidence in herself, "what was that?" "I SAID IT WAS COOL >:(", Skara and Viney join the group (which also allowed Skara to develop past just being a popular mean girl), "ice pack for Steve" "Steve is beginning to regret his choices", and of course, Darius. Darius my beloved, the small backstory reveal with the previous GG, "Little Prince (derogatory)" he really does canon use cute nicknames to be hostile, the abomination PJs & also the bubble bath storyboards, the DEPTH of what it meant for Darius to intervene in Hunter's kidnapping attempt so now all the responsibility falls onto him when HE DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE HUNTER AND IT PUT HIM IN RISK INTERVENING, "I can wear this proudly now...right?" "Can you?", his extra abomination lounge chair while he gingerly kept messing with the EE, "You're gonna need to be a little more clever than that" *12 seconds later the ship crashed and is on fire all because he was too much of a difficult bitch to Tell These Actual Children he wasn't really kidnapping them*, "Do you have any idea what I'm capable of?!", "I'm impressed! I had you all wrong!", the first head pat, the scroll, " But you could still use a sewing lesson." Like. I still can't believe the pay off of that moment. I immediately fell in love with the dynamic between Hunter & Darius at the end of that episode and for the rest of the show they were never able to connect on screen again it was always a "just missed each other" thing, until FINALLY in the finale Darius ruffles Hunter's hair and then asks him about his dumb wolf shirt and 4yrs later he's Hunter's dad. I was fighting for my life for Dadrius since HM (I was more Uncle Darius after ASIAS until HM) and it PAID OFF LIKE!!!! 😭🤌

Anyway can't forget to praise the Huntlow there too, with the parallel to Willow's parents the gold rimmed glasses the "half a witch" parallels and of course, Hunter's first blush towards Willow on the bi flag colored sky. The Lumity subplot was also really funny, especially in hindsight considering Boscha's issues in FTF haha. A 10/10 episode overall

8. Favorite other character?

Ok so since this one explicitly excludes hexsquad, hagsquad, and palisman, I think I have to choose Hooty. Hooty was one of my favorite characters back in S2A, he's so hilarious and I love his relationship with Lilith so so much, they're so much like Darius & Eber to me haha!

16. Favorite Raeda moment (if you ship it)?

OK SO my pal Lolly really articulated this scene from KT perfectly here

BUT I also have to talk about the fight against Darius & Eber in Eda's Requiem because that scene of them back to back playing Their Song while Eda's curse mutated the magic around them and was going to KILL THEM rewrote my brain chemistry. LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT THEM.

Just the palpable longing of them both looking over their shoulders at each other as they played. The animation, the music, the symbolism of it being Their Song, the shared history, the way they were willing to die together for the cause of fighting Belos and the subsequent hindsight reveal of how Fucking Stupid it would've been if they did --between King taking Eda's last name & officially becoming her son, Darius & Eber were also rebels trying to save Raine, ultimately all 3 of Raine Darius & Eber would've just been replaced in time for the DOU, like on every single level this plan was STUPID but the longing gay angst these two have for each other almost made them do it anyway.

Raine's voice cracking at the "You have kids?!" was as funny as it was heartbreaking, because it was just another reminder of how much of their lives they've been apart and how Eda finally let others in but Raine wasn't there for it nor was she ever able to do so for them before. Eda's sputtering about "Well they're not mine mine" like she WANTS THEM TO BE but she can't admit it and is still being closed off and Raine quoting Eda in reference to the scene they already quoted earlier in the episode, all cultivating in Raine letting go of Eda's hand -- like they let go of their relationship years ago -- all to save her ;___; idk pal this episode fucked me up so much when it aired and my partner still teases me when I rewatch it like "you're watching the gay episode again huh"

Anyway yeah. I have a lot of love for this show haha

Any Skarlow Halloween shenanigans? Would they do couples costumes? Because I can definitely see them going as Harley and Ivy.

Heh. Ah, Halloween shenanigans. Adorable.

Let’s start with the couple questions: Yes. Unquestionably they would do silly couple costumes. Skara would probably like a classic Harley and Ivy costume pairing with Willow. But I think the more likely costumes they’d do are Disney Princess couples: even if Skara’s a suit and tie kinda girl, Luz introducing her to Disney Princesses would get her to love doing any and all things Princess related. She’d dress up as Ariel and Rapunzel and get Willow to dress up as the princes, which she’d gladly do because she thinks they’re just as cute. Skara would get very in character too (which makes sense given she’s basically Rapunzel anyway) and even sing the songs, which Willow wouldn’t mind humming along with.

As for actual Halloween shenanigans:

The Boiling Isles doesn’t have a Halloween equivalent, so Luz gets a kick out of explaining the spooky season to her friends. While most of the decorating stuff just feels like your standard Boiling Isles design, ALL the Witches ADORE the trick-or-treating and dress-up aspects. Especially Skara, who goes all out on a Rapunzel outfit and silver wig. Everyone compliments her for it, except for Willow, who’s too busy trying not to burn herself alive in a blush over the sight of her girlfriend giggling in it.

The first time they dress up for Halloween: Amity and Luz as Hecate and Azura respectively, Gus as a Giraffe, Hunter as a knight, Vee as the number 5, and Skara and Willow as Eugene and Rapunzel.

Even if they’re a touch old for it, the kids try trick-or-treating anyway. Most houses don’t mind and delight in handing them some candy. Other houses though are rude and slam the door in their face. When that happens, Gus summons a terrifying illusion as the next person to knock.

The group all try Gravesfield infamous haunted house. It’s not actually that scary, just an abandoned home the neighborhood decorated for donations, but the kids decide to give it a whirl. Luz leads them through, the fearless champion she is, while Amity stay’s close behind, pretending to be scared so that Luz will catch her if she ‘faints’. Gus, Hunter, and Vee, meanwhile, are a bit more unironically scared, and jump into each other whenever a kid pops out from behind a chair or wall. Vee even has a few moments where she loses control of her form, but is able to regain her composure. Meanwhile, Skara holds Willow’s hand all throughout the house, genuinely afraid. Thankfully, whenever she gets scared Willow will give her hand a squeeze, and Skara feels so much more comforted and safe.

Later that night, the group all show off their candies, and try some of it. Their pieces are the first taste they have of some candies, and a few of them get a little overboard; Gus eats all his gummy treats, Hunter devours a whole box of Nerds (box and all), and Luz has to fend off Amity from eating all her chocolate in under five minutes. Willow, who was in the bathroom when the others started, sees the chaos and decides ‘Nah, I’m good.’ Except when she spots Skara, who had eaten literally ALL her candy, and is now on a sugar rush so manic Willow can practically see the vibrations. Skara excitedly try’s to get Willow to let her eat her candy, something Willow stops by sweeping it all under the couch to keep her girlfriend from getting worse. Camila has to come in and calm Skara until she suffers a bad crash 15 minutes later (she had to deal with this plenty of times with Luz, she understands). Soon, all but Willow and Luz are lying on the floor, groaning and clutching their stomachs. Luz gives Amity a piggyback ride to the bedroom, while Camila helps up Vee and Hunter, and Willow carry’s Skara bridal style up the stairs.

The next day, most of the Witches feel better, save for Skara, who’s still groaning over her stomach ache. Luckily for her, Willow didn’t have any plans that day, so she spends several hours just sitting beside her sick girlfriend, squeezing her hand and reminding her not to eat so much candy again, ok? Skara swears it (Willow notices the fingers behind her back but pretends not to) and, with a few kisses from Willow, Skara is ready to join up with the gang by lunch.

Do you know why the Owl House character Skara seems to get so much love from the fandom? I get she's got a cute design but so do a lot of other characters, why do people seem to love her so much?

Cute design, fun character, voiced by Kimberly Brooks, bubbly and charming and nice to the MC's, what's not to love?

The fandom went ballistic for Amity when she was still nasty and go ballistic for Hunter right now, Skara shouldn't be that confusing.

The Owl House?

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Luz, clearly

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): King, my son, my stinky babu, my little gremlin angel, if anything happens to him I'm going to kill everyone in this room and then myself

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): Willow, obviously! My girl deserves so much more than what she's getting!

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): oh oh that's. Difficult. Uh. Oh. Raine???? I mean they've only appeared what, twice???? Oh, and also this girl, i think her name is Skara?? because I love her design:

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): uhhhhhhhhhhh I dunno I don't have one. Does Hooty count?

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): Lol, Belos, easily. Lilith's a close second.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): again, Belos. Easy choice!

FULL REVIEWS: “Understanding Willow”

Damn this episode was hyped up. Everyone was looking forward to this. Everyone wanted to know how this was going to go down. I did too and when we got it we were not disappointed.

However it did prove why I don’t participate in fan theories because we’re all usually wrong all the time. So I say just shut up and be patient. But enough of why I’m not invited to discussions. Lets get it on!

We start the cold open with a Skara sighting! I still think her design is cute. She inviting her friends to her fifteenth birthday party. Neat. We see a bit of Amity’s dynamic with the two. Boscha is actively mean to Willow and Luz while the other two seem more neutral.

“It’s fun because it’s stupid.” This was hilariously adorable.

This was adorably hilarious.

Again we get another quick shot of how Boscha and her group pick on Willow. Skara doesn’t actively join but she does laugh at Willow which does suck. And we know Amity used to put down Willow too. My lumity loving heart is guessing that she’s stopped because of Luz’s influence but it’s just a guess. Still not cool that she doesn’t stop Boscha but that’s for another episode.

That must be an odd sensation.

We cut to photo memory class(?) and it’s big brain time again. What track would this be in? What purpose would this serve? Who would need to pull out memories with tweezers? If this process could permanently damage a person why would you let teenagers do it to other teenagers? It’s a madhouse I tells ya. A madhouse.

Anyway.

So Willow was always a cutie.

Luz notices the Amity memory, but Willow asks her to drop it and leave it alone. Which she doesn’t do. It’s another character flaw of Luz that we’re going to see more of. She always has good intentions but she tends to overstep her bounds. It’s (to me) another form of being innocently insensitive, a common character flaw in characters like Luz.

Amity notices the memory too when she passes by the room. She wants to put their previous friendship behind them and does the reasonable thing of setting the memory on fire. Which sets all the memories on fire because of course it does. It’s fire! Dammit Amity, I thought you were the smart one.

“I’ve connected the dots.” “You haven’t connected shit.” “I’ve connected them.”

We start the B-plot with Gus. Apparently after being kicked out of the Human Appreciation Society, he’s been looking for another club to join and is trying the school paper. He has to interview someone to get in but can’t decide on who.

Is it hot in here or am I just dying?

Willow starts freaking out and getting all sweaty and everyone (you included) figures out why immediately.

And there it is.

So Willow is going to to bye-bye for good unless they do something. So Luz takes everyone to the smartest person she knows because it’s clearly not Amity right now.

It’s a good thing you went to Eda and not a teacher or Willow’s parents.

So Eda explains that they can recover Willow’s mind before all the memories are permanently destroyed by physically sending someone in there to recover and repair the memories.

“Be still my fantasy loving heart!”

I agree with Luz. I love the journey to the center of the mind trope. But Eda believes in the buddy system so someone has to go with her and since we need Gus for the B-plot, it’s Amity.

Luz and Amity enter Willow’s mind and it takes a quick second to organize itself to a form that they can perceive because it’s the mind. That’s kind what it does. It likes to organize things to recognize patterns and because magic.

Luz and Amity start fixing the memories. Apparently, Willow and Amity were really good friends when they were little and even Amity feels bad about almost getting rid of them. But there’s one memory that Amity doesn’t want Luz to see.

Meanwhile in the B-plot, Gus is still trying to find someone to interview. Eda suggests herself because she’s Eda, and King demands attention. They don’t care about Gus’s whatever; they just like attention.

Back in Willow’s mind, Luz and Amity are going a good job repairing the memories but something is undoing all their work. We get a cute moment between Luz and Amity that I want to talk about more when I do my lumity analysis after I finish the reviews.

BTW, I’m going to do a lumity analysis.

They discover that the monster undoing all their work wasn’t actually that one fire Digimon whose name escapes me, but was actually the Inner Willow. The Inner Willow reveals that Willow actually resents Amity for ending their friendship and letting her new friends pick on her for years.

Now she has the opportunity to let out all her anger and hate like The Emperor’s dialogue in a STAR WARS movie. I know I’ve made that joke before but it still applies.

Inner Willow plays back the memory of when Amity ended their friendship. We know they said that Amity did it because Willow was bad at magic but the acutal memory is a little off. Amity reveals why as well as the truth on why she really ended her friendship with Willow.

Amity’s parents never liked Willow because she wasn’t from an elite witch family. Of course Amity didn’t care. She was a little kid and kids don’t care about stuff like that. Amity’s parents say that she can have one of the friends that they picked out for her. (So Amity’s parents don’t even see Skara and Boscha as people either, huh?) Turns out they were brats even back then too. I guess Skara mellowed out over time. When Amity refuses, her parents promise that they’ll use their influence to make sure that Willow can’t get into Hexside.

This a threat but I always wondered why it was a threat. The best guesses are that Amity and Willow wouldn’t be able to see each other at all, Willow wanted to go to Hexside, Hexside is one of the better schools on The Boiling Isles, Hexside was the closest school to Willow’s house and going somewhere else would be too much of a pain in the ass. Whatever the case, the threat worked and Amity broke off their friendship in her birthday. Amity’s, not Willow’s. Pronouns.

Amity can’t undo the years of pain she’s put on Willow, but she can promise to make things better from now on. Amity apologizes and promises that she will try to stop Boscha and her gang from picking on her. Egg on her face, huh?

Hayden Christensen is going to show up next. I can feel it.

Luz and Amity repair the memories and leave Willow’s mind. In a very mature twist for a Disney show, Willow admits she can’t forgive Amity yet. There were literal years of pain between them. But it’s a start. And the episode ends with Gus interviewing Hooty and that goes exactly the way you think it would. Hoot.

FINAL SCORE: 5 - Loved it.

This episode was everything people wanted and more. The drama, the depth, the heart all came across strong here. Not a major turning point for the plot (because I know some people who dismiss every episode that isn’t about the main plot as filler. BTW fuck you guys), but this was a major turning point for the characters. Luz may be the main character of the show, but the main characters of the episode were Willow and Amity.

If I had to find any faults it’s that I didn’t think the B-plot was that great. I don’t think Gus is very funny yet. Especially when you put him next to two comedic powerhouses like King and Eda. Other than that, this was a mind blowing episode. And it’s not even the first one!

Skara?

How I feel about this character: Ooh, Skara time! She’s my favorite of the background characters. I love her design and general vibe, and I think she could get a lot more focus.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: She does have a canon boyfriend and they’re adorable, though we don’t have a name for him. I’ve also seen some really cute art of her and Boscha.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: She’s only a background character so interactions are limited, but I’m gonna have to go with her Illusionist friend we see her practicing spells with in “Sense and Insensitivity.” I think that interaction was really cute, even if it was a bit sappy.

My unpopular opinion about this character: This isn’t an opinion as much as a sad truth, but as much as I hate to say this... The fandom paints her as a lot gentler than the rest of that group, just a sort of “In the wrong crowd” figure. But honestly, we don’t know enough about her to say for sure if that’s true. We know her family is of the same status as the Blights, and there's a sizeable chance that she’s just as bad.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: I know I just said that she might be as bad as the rest of the group but I really don’t think she is, and I’d love to see more of her. I want her to get a mini-arc and pop up a lot more, maybe have some plot significance. Seeing her leave Boscha’s gang would not only make her stand out more but could be a start to an actual character arc for Boscha, and I think that’d be great to see.

You know, I really like Amelia’s design. Also she seems pretty chill.

I love her, I remember specifically pointing this girl out after Hooty’s Moving Hassle aired as a very obvious reference to Saria from Ocarina of Time (which is a game that Dana Terrace herself loves), and that just made her instantly lovable to me! I love her pointy little nose, it reminds me of the beak of a hummingbird, which ties in with the motif of the Plant Track she belongs to!

I’ve got some headcanons and speculation about her in the past… Specifically, it’s worth noting that Amelia seems to have been playing Grudgby with Boscha, longer than anyone else! We see her playing on the team during the flashback, during a VERY important Island Championship… And we see her continue playing, even now! Meanwhile, Skara seems to be a reserve player, and Cat… Well, either she was a reserve player back then, or she joined recently to fill in the space left by Amity’s absence! Probably the latter, we know Skara has been hanging out with Boscha since they were little kids.

�� And given how much Grudgby means to someone as competitive as Boscha, you KNOW she’d only prioritize having the best of the best on her team! She seems like the kind of person who’d put aside friendships to have the most skilled players with her… Which leads me to believe that there’s lowkey a certain trust between her and Amelia, as both are talented players! Hence, my headcanon as Amelia having been a sports kid who introduced Boscha and Amity to Grudgby.

Even if Boscha and Amelia aren’t exactly close because it’s Boscha we’re talking about here, there’s still a special comradery between the two as veteran Grudgby players who have been around since the very beginning… With Amelia being by Boscha’s side on the field, longer than anyone else! Not to mention, her and Skara were hanging out with Boscha at the Treasure Shack when Cat wasn’t… Which doesn’t necessarily have to mean anything, but considering what little content we have, and the Grom photos- I like to also see Cat as a relative newcomer to the friend group. The way I see it, Boscha met Skara first, then Amity, afterwards Amelia, and finally Cat!

Similarly, I like to think that Amelia was one of the first to reconsider her stance on Willow; Given how Willow moved into her track, Amelia would’ve likely been the first to see just how skilled Willow actually was! Especially after Willow saved her from that carnivorous plant in Episode 9… While it could just be Willow being kind to a bully, I like to think that up until then, Amelia was someone who never directly bullied Willow, or at least quietly went along with it because that’s what Boscha did! Otherwise she had no ill will towards Willow, and Willow recognized this!

Of course, then comes Wing it like Witches… Boscha takes Willow ‘stealing’ her fame as a very personal threat, and so Amelia’s internally remarking “Here we go AGAIN,” as she decides to just shut up and not say anything, and let Boscha do her thing and get it over with. Amelia’s not particularly a fan of this, but Boscha is likely the kind of person who forces friends to ‘prioritize her’, saying that friends should support one another no matter what, especially if the alternative is picking the side of some lowly stranger! Boscha is likely someone who’s made it clear in the past that taking someone else’s side, even if Boscha is in the wrong, is tantamount to betrayal…

Plus, with how threatening Boscha is, I imagine Skara (who we already know can be kind and sweet in her own way), Amelia, and Cat just sort of went with it. Not outright against the bullying, but if left to their own devices, would just let people like Luz and Willow happily exist. On another note, I’m not sure if Amelia is necessarily from an upper-class family or not… Given what I said about Boscha prioritizing victory in Grudgby above all else, she seems like the kind of person who’d ignore class barriers if it meant recruiting a skilled player! Especially since she’s already a troublemaker, doesn’t seem to care much for academics, and is clearly irreverent towards her own mother and is even able to say no to her!

Also, Amelia being VERY obsessive about fictional book series, to the point where she swears on trashing anything that remotely disappoints her, because she’s staking THAT much of an emotional claim onto it… It’s low-key something I can relate to, albeit not to the same extreme extent as Amelia! I like to think that she developed a grudge against King after he failed to deliver on the Ruler’s Reach sequel… So when King showed up to tell jokes during Grom, Amelia was VERY vocal in her booing of him, and had half the mind to get vengeance for her heartbreak. Luckily, her friends convinced her otherwise.

I like to think Amelia and Boscha also went to Grom as each other’s dates! I know people have pointed out Amelia talking to the Mouth-Headed girl, and while that IS cute… Technically speaking, we see the Mouth-Head girl intimately close with some other kid beforehand, and I’m pretty sure we see kids who have dates with other talks to different classmates as well. Plus, I think it makes sense- Amelia is likely Boscha’s second-closest friend, and Skara and Cat already have confirmed dates! Boscha cares about social status, so going to Grom without a date would probably be unthinkable… And when Grometheus escaped, Cat and Skara went outside to follow, but Amelia stayed behind to wait for Boscha, who was late, and who she did NOT want to disappoint!

...Then again, Boscha going with Bo and Selene is also an option, especially since she takes photos with them before Mattholomule interrupts! Either way, it’s fun to speculate on the lives of these various side-characters and students… There’s not a lot to work with, but it coincidentally leaves a LOT of room and space to make stuff up! And what little we DO get, forms a minor, yet cohesive, narrative! I like to think that Amelia plans to become a professional Grudgby athlete like Boscha in the future…

Whether or not Cat will join them, I can’t say for sure! Of course, given my past headcanons… Maybe Amelia is also considering NOT doing that, and just getting to play Grugdby on her own terms, for fun! But she’s not exactly fully-considering this idea, it’s mostly a minor thought in the back of her head that sprung up after Luz’s good sportsmanship helped Amelia reconsider things… But Amelia would STILL be throwing an entire future she had already planned for and worked towards for years, and she may not be willing to dedicate her life to some random job in the Plant Coven.

As far as Amelia is concerned, she’ll probably keep with her original plans to become a professional athlete, and maybe fine time in-between matches and training, somehow, to just have good old-fashioned fun in Grudgby. Like a lot of people in this show, Amelia’s life was lowkey changed when Luz came into play, and like many other students, Amelia has a lot of anxieties and indecision over the final choice she’ll make before graduation. Like I said before, the Coven System is pretty messed-up in how it forces kids to decide the rest of their lives from such a young and formative age!

(Not to shamlesssly self-plug, but I have a fanfic that includes Amelia as a minor character. Basically it serves to implement my headcanons about her into Amelia’s role in Boscha’s life- It was written prior to Agony of a Witch, and later I edited her name from the placeholder Sarya, to the one Dana confirmed!)

Amelia is also present during the field trip to Belos’ castle, and she’s present in the crowd during Eda’s petrification… Her and Skara were vouching for Eda’s freedom alongside the rest as well, and cheered when her, Luz, King, and Lilith got away! Given all of the other stuff I mentioned before, I imagine Amelia might have SOME issues with the Coven System… Especially amidst past speculation on its potential impact on Grudgby as a professional career, not to mention how it’s forcing her into that complicated situation I headcanoned about! I don’t recall seeing Cat in the crowd, but I DID see Bo…

It’d be interesting if Amelia and Skara brought up their stance against Belos later in the future, and how that might affect their friendship with Boscha and Cat respectively. Bo is in the same track as Cat, so maybe Cat would also be convinced to take an anti-Belos stance as well… And Boscha is already pretty anti-authority and ALSO could have thoughts on the Coven System, given my speculation on its relationship with Grudgby. It’d be fascinating to see, but at the same time, I could also see Boscha not wanting to defy the ‘natural order’ and be labelled an outcast and a loser by defying the Coven System.

Kids like Amelia, Skara, and Bo definitely come across as more compassionate, or at least considerate of others, than Boscha… Hence their more vocal opposition to Belos! And hey- If Luz, who was a total rookie to Grudgby, could wound Belos… Then is this guy really so invincible? Obviously Luz and her team beat Amelia and the others (not counting the Rusty Smide), but it was a narrow victory, and ultimately the point is that Emperor Belos isn’t such an invincible witch, after all. Maybe a successful revolution IS possible…!

Regardless, I really hope we get to see more of her, Skara, and Cat in the future! Who knows, maybe like Skara, Amelia and Cat will get a little extra spotlight later on... Although given how Dana mentioned how the names were from the crew and not necessarily set-in-stone, we’d probably have to wait until Season 3 for anything extra or substantial, assuming the crew would even prioritize in that in favor of other more important characters and plot threads!

Also I like to think that Amelia had a close friend named Alrick who died in a horrific dirtbiking accident and now she’s low-key considering necromancy and other morally-questionable means in order to bring him back please watch Infinity Train

FULL REVIEWS: “Covention”

I didn’t think I’d have a harder time doing these reviews on my days off than on a workday, but errands and all that. I had no expectations going into this episode at the time since “covention” is a fake made up word. But I heard Amity was going to be in it, so I got excited. The spice of life returns. It’s been a hot minute. Let’s see how the episode holds up.

The episode starts with one of my favorite cold openings. Super funny and gives a good shot at those books that have that pretentious flowery language. Seriously who says “thou” and “hast” anymore. Lame. Luz tossing King into the portal right when it closes was my favorite bit. Was Eda really going to go to the human world just for that?

Also I didn’t notice until someone pointed it out but I guess they’re using Azura and Hecate as some kinda parallel to Luz and Amity. Hope Amity doesn’t find out that she’s not the Azura character. Does that mean that Eda is that old ass lady and King is that little fox dog thing? That’s not cool, man. Be nice.

So much can be read into it, but that’s for another blog post for another time.

And of course, dumb-dumb me had to wait until the word was said out loud to realize that it was a play on the words “coven” and “convention.” So basically it’s a con episode. Cov episode? Whatever. Big brain hurt.

Relationships are a give and take and sometimes you gotta give in. Sorry, Eda.

I don’t know about you guys, but I never really had a lot of fun going to cons. The only part I really liked was meeting my favorite voice actors and watching indie wrestling. All the food, merch, and art was always overpriced and from shows I don’t watch. I don’t join video game tournaments because those people take the games way too seriously. Plus the area that I live in isn’t known for being big on nerd culture so the cons are never that impressive. I met Steve Blum last time and went to one and you can only go down from there so I don’t think I’ll be going to another one any time soon.

I caught this first time I saw it on TV. Luz and Willow arm in arm. Maybe in another life I would be shipping Luz & Willow. Maybe maybe. Also, Skara in the background. I think her design is really cute. Maybe she’ll get an episode in season two. Maybe maybe.

More lore and more worldbuilding which people really seemed to want and we got it. Eda explains that while covens seem like cool groups to belong to, they also strip you of all the other kind of magic you can do. Why? My theory was (and is) that about fifty years ago a bunch of religious and political hustlers got together and tried to figure out a way to control people. Really keep them in line. They knew that people were basically stupid and would believe anything you told them, so they announced that this one guy could talk to the titan that the Isles were based of off. This one guys says that only he could talk to the titan and hear what the titan was saying and that only he could do all kinds of magic. Everyone else is doing it wrong and only he’s doing it right. With no proof or evidence, but trust him he’s on the level. The Boiling Isles was just doing fine before him, but now all of a sudden, we’re all doing it wrong. Let that be a lesson to you, kids. If anyone tells you anything like that, it’s bullshit.

Also the nine covens. Why nine? Why not group the bard and illusionary covens together into the music video coven? Why does potions get its own coven? How much school do you really have to take to learn to mix shit together and stir? Wouldn’t the plant magic coven know something about using plants to make potions? Why does the construction coven get it’s own coven? Couldn’t you use any kind of magic to build things? Is the construction coven the blue collar coven? Beast keeping gets it’s own coven? Like the bitch at the plant coven needs to switch covens to be told to feed her dog? My theory, the nine covens was really a marketing decision. Ten sounds too official. They knew that if it was too neat and tidy, they’d know something was up. Would they though? I don’t think so.

Any group that has their own stormtroopers is automatically evil. Even more proof that the coven system is bullshit.

“Distraction spell!”

This moment made me laugh so damn hard. The crap that Eda pulls is one of the highlights of the show for me.

Luz and Eda go check out The Emperor’s Coven panel in the main hall, and we’re introduced to another major character. Enter Lilith, Eda’s older sister. And I swear to you guys, I was so confused this entire time on who was the older and who was the younger sister until the season finale. Seriously, I kept getting mixed messages. I mean, I know now but give me a break here.

I think Lilith is a good character and a great foil to Eda. The fun part is that since they are sisters, Eda knows exactly how to push her buttons and drag Lilith down to her level. It’s always fun to see a stoic character break.

My finger points.

Amity shows up which automatically makes this episode better. Luz properly introduces herself and we get more back-and-forth. Amity being a real bitch here is more to mislead us for the last act of the episode, but when I first saw it I thought it was more confirmation that Amity was going to be the Draco Malfoy-clone of the series. Glad I was wrong.

We get more of Luz trying to make life play out like her favorite stories and challenges Amity to a witch’s duel. A thing she read in Azura that she has no clue whether or not is a thing in The Boiling Isles. There’s an equal chance that Amity could have just shaken her head and be like, “The fuck is a witch’s duel? That sounds like something you just made up.”

Also Amity should have caught that Azura reference from the start, but then that kinda would have spoiled Lost in Language, huh?

Again, Luz needs to learn that life does not play out like it does in her favorite stories. Challenging your rival to a duel is cool on paper but a big “Yeah no” IRL. Especially since she knows no real offensive spells, no defensive spells, is a weak nerd who has probably never been in a real fight in her life and has no fighting spirit. Trust me guys I learned the hard way. Life is not a shonen anime. You can’t settle anything by fighting.

I love mentor/mentee stories especially when they have a rival mentor/mentee pair. Too bad Dana has already said that Amity and Lilith were not close at all. It was more a relationship of convenience. But then again that would help witch whole foil angle. Lilith and Amity just use each other to get ahead while Eda and Luz do actually build a familial bond.

The duel goes...exactly the way I thought it would. Honestly. The cheating, the whole fight just breaking down, even Lilith and Eda doing an actual witch’s fight. Totally saw it coming. What I didn’t see coming was the bad ass animation they used for the Lilith/Eda fight and...

The Amity scene. The big reveal that Amity is not a Draco Malfoy clone (I only saw the first four movies). She’s just a girl who thinks people should follow the rules, hates cheaters and is under a lot of pressure to succeed. Only someone as empathic as Luz and try to keep building that bridge and try to make things right with Amity, but that’s a whole other episode.

And the episode ends with another great lesson I really like. “Will I ever be a true witch?” “I don’t know. What’s a true witch?” There are always expectations and pressure put upon you to be a true something. Others will want you to conform into a label for one reason or another. But all those expectations and labels are just illusions. It reminds me of a Bruce Lee quote. When an interviewer asked Bruce if he considers himself Chinese or American, he answers that he considers himself, “a human being.”

Labels can be fun because it makes it easier for the brain to organize things, but when people put too much stock into these labels problems arise. Think of labels as a boat to get you across the river. Once you cross the river you leave the boat behind. You don’t carry the boat with you. That’s just dumb.

“Witch please”

FINAL SCORE: 5 - Loved it.

Hot take, Amity makes every episode better. More funny jokes, more worldbuilding, more Amity and hints at the main villain of the show. Lilith was a great addition and the episode hints at the main plot. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had at a con. And speaking of more Amity...
