Things I need to see abt Matthalomule and Steve from The Owl House

An edit of 'me, you and steve,' about gustholomule being third wheeled by matthalomule's brother, Steve.

Matthalomule's reaction to King breaking his sidecar helmet.

Other stuff, also. That would be nice. These are just my top priorities.

O TITAN, WHERE ART THOU SPOILERS TOH

They’re literally brothers I’m telling you

Same eyebrows, same hair color, same skin color, same hair shape

But like, who names their first child something normal like “Steve”. Than call the next one something fucked up like “Mattholomule” 💀

Some Moon knight and Owl House sketches

Oh and click for better quality and all that

Steve and Matt deserved an on-screen interaction. I dont care if it was just a background shot of Steve giving Matt a noogie or AT LEAST them hanging out. we were ROBBED. yeah the Steve Lilith reunion was adorable as hell but what about his brother??? Matt clearly looks up to Steve a lot and he hasn’t seen his cool older brother in presumably months, possibly longer cuz Steve was a scout?? THEY DONT EVEN APPEAR ONSCREEN TOGETHER UNTIL THE ENDING SHOT AND THEY ARENT EVEN STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

-

Them being brothers means so much to me

(first time drawing Matt also fjsndndn)

if steve is his actual first name and he’s matholomule’s brother then their parents had two kids so they decided to name one a normal name and the other the most convoluted tongue twister you could ever curse a child with

Gustholomule: spoilers for For the Future

So we saw Matty again, got lots of him interacting with Gus and Gus friends, and we learn about three new things about him

Spoilers below

1.) He is actually a real good Leader/planer/strategist when he works at it. Wow. Well the planing thing I guess we did have some proof. His take over of the HAS was really well planed, and adapted, especially for a 13 year old who was in a completely new environment and didn’t know any allies/have friends who he knew for a fact would take his side.

Still on a note. I said in my Gus Appreciation post that the HAS club was Gus (unintentionally) at his worst. That he said he created it so he could “build a place were everybody had a voice” but if you look at the way he ran his club (only he brought things in, only he could touch things, he made himself a crown, and referred to voting as “anarchy’,) it seems more like he wanted to create a place where he was in charge of older kids and they had to listen to him. I also said that I believed leaving the club was necessary for Gus’s maturity, and that Mattholomule would be just as immature and unfair a leader as Gus. Just as surprising to me as Matt having such good ideas and plans for “New Hexsides” refuge camp, is seeing that he crossed out some of Gus’s more unfair rules and made the club more inclusive towards all members. I misjudged you Matty. Your a good club President. But you know Gus better now, you’ve seen that Gus has matured and become more considerate since. Please let him back in as a subordinate member.

2.) Matty is a dramatic AF who used a (easily smudging) marker to draw facial hair on himself, tried to get people to call him Man-Tholomule (buddy no one will ever call you that), and used a bad “dramatic twist “ theater line in the big fight when addressing a robot. HAHAHA

3.) The Big one... His name is actually Matt Tholomule. All those times when the fandom asked “ Why does he have such a weird first name?”, “How did his parents come up with it?”, “His Brother is named Steve. IS Steve short for something weird? How do you get one child with a name like “Steve” and then the next is named “Mattholomule”. Times I have personally searched his name on Tumblr and thought “ at least him having such a made up first name makes searching a character without a last name much easier”. (Note I have the  same thoughts on Skara’s name. Is her full name going to turn out to be Skar A?). 

But back to the matter at hand, here is one more reason, besides fan’s questions on the difference of the half brothers names, besides this meaning that the ship name Gustholomule is actually Gus’s first name attached to Matt’s last name. Even besides what that one genius poster pointed out about how Matt always calls Gus “Au-Gus-Tus” with the syllables spaced out and suggested that that was Matt trying to give Gus a really cryptic, unhelpful, hint to try putting more space in his name.

No it’s also funny because of this picture on Gus’s wall.

Matt has a party hat, so we know this was a birthday. Matt being the one in front, the one sitting down, and the absence of Willow and Luz implies that this is Matt’s birthday, and Gus is visiting his house to help celebrate it. Let’s think about that for a moment.

Did Matt’s cake not have “Happy Birthday Matt” written on it? Or if it did did Matt say/Gus think that it just said Matt because Mattholomule would take to mch room? There was nowhere in the house where Matt’s name was written out correctly and nothing saying “Tholomule Family” on it? Neither of Matt’s parents introduced themselves to Gus as “Mr./Mrs. Tholomule”? No confusion was expressed by one of them as to why Gus called their son by his full name? If Steve was able to be there he never pulled Gus to the side and said “Hey FYI Tholomule is actually our last name. My brother’s first name is just Matt.”? Going over all of that, I can only assume that Matt told is family about his little prank before inviting Gus over, and they all played along. Which would mean that the entire Tholomule family are devious, prankster, gremlins, not just Matt. This is a fact that I feel needs to be acknowledged.

Oh lastly while we are on the subject of Matt’s family this name thing just makes me think more that Mason, the construction head, is the Steve & Matt’s father and shared parent. Matt was running his father’s booth in “Covention Day” while Mason outfitted new members with construction seals.  The only reason I can think of as to why such a young, inexperienced, and unsigled, witch-let would be representing a coven subgroup at such a big event: he was helping his parent. Then Mason came back before the Emperor’s coven show, because Matt wanted to attend and to try and see Steve. The reason Mason’s last name was not on the coven list, was because if we saw Mason Tholomule it would have spoiled the joke to early.

GUYS

ITS CANON THEY’RE HALF BROTHERS 😭

It’s them, the brothers :)

Luz: [looking at a picture of Ghost on her phone] I wonder how living together as two cats feels. Can you imagine you are a little guy, and there's just another little guy, and sometimes you beat the shit out of each other

Steve: [thinking about the time that Matholomule and Hunter nearly threw hands arguing over who was his favorite] Hmm... little guys...

Wait a minute...

Didn't Matty say that he got the map to the looking glass ruins from his brother? Who's more likely to have a map looking for gaulderstones than a coven scout? Steve says that he wanted to join the emperor's coven so he could be known as the best of the best, Matty wants to be in a position of power so he can be respected. Matty starts doing multi-track right around when Steve quits the emperor's coven. Steve is shown being good with kids, specifically being calm about some one his brother's age hitting him. Listen I'm pretty sure they are brothers and in this essay I will-

Steve and Matt brothers confirmed! :DDD

WHAT.

Im sorry it may be a little fucked up but i literally can't imagine matt tholomule having actual parents this boy exhibits parent-less (being raised by a older sibling who works a lot) behavior

WE GOT A CONFIRMATION BOYS

THEY ARE OFFICIALLY (half) BROTHERS

Kinda pissed that their interactions were sniped during the cut but I’m still holding out hope for a couple
