Wow, a year since watching and dreaming! I can hardly believe it, the owl house has meant so much to me and other people
Unpopular opinion I’m about to repeat AGAIN; But King actually has a lot more depth and nuance than people give him credit for, and he has that depth regardless of whether or not he was an actual king of demons or has some mysterious, all-powerful backstory or whatnot. If we look at him just as-is, at face-value, with what we actually have in canon, no speculation; King IS a very interesting character, actually, with a surprising amount of darkness!
There’s the parallels with Lilith that I’ve brought up in the past. King is a very artistic individual who wants glory and recognition, but on his own terms; He wants to be appreciated for stuff he cares about and feels he has agency in, not because he’s superficially adorable or anything! But at the same time, King DOES want to be coddled and cared for, given a sort of childhood he never really got- But he just wants some respect and agency with that as well, is that too much to ask for?
And that fits with how Luz babies him, but in a way that respects and listens to King’s requests, taking heed of his advice and lessons; Eda treats them both with respect and a proper level of accountability, while also protecting them because they’re both kids who don’t deserve that. This contrasts with Amity who’s kind of forced to grow up and is superficially taken seriously, but on the downside, she’s severely emotionally stunted and feels like she has to do all of the heavy-lifting for herself and others, by herself.

Hi guys, my account was wrongly marked as explicit so sorry if no one can see it, I have no idea why but it has and it's really frustrating me because Pinterest keeps wrongly flagging my pins as mature as well and it's really stressing me out
Edit: it's been sorted now I think
"Are you ready for this, King?" Luz plops herself down into the chair.
"Uh I'm a little nervous." He admitted while absentmindedly tapping his claws together. "What if it's not...what if he's not how I imagined?"
"You're going to love him, bro. Remember the bread pun?" Luz reaches over and pats his skull. She smiles as her little brother lets out a giggle.
"I do." King nods, tail wagging from the memory. He hasn't forgotten seeing his dad's spirit either. It was etched into his mind. The giddiness he felt upon seeing his father when he never thought he would get to.
"I'm here!" Willow enters the classroom. "I'm not late, am I?"
"You're right on time, pal!" Luz beams. "Now lets get digging!"
"Um Willow?" King looks up at her before they can dive in. "Thanks for doing this."
"No need to thank me." Willow says warmly. "I'm glad to do it for a friend." Then she fetches the tweezers and she begins extracting memories from Luz's mind.
King stands there watching with fur fluffing up in anticipation. Polaroid after polaroid is hung up onto the wire.
Luz's reunion with him and Eda.
When Luz was talking to the Collector.
Luz when she...he looks away from this particular picture. He doesn't want to be reminded of that.
"Aha!" Willow's voice draws him back in and she's holding a picture in her hand. "Whoa, that is an interesting style."
"Cool, right?" Luz said. "She's totally rocking the bad girl coven shirt too!"
"Lemme see!" King scrambles over and he makes grabby claws for the polaroid, all previous worries forgotten.
"Here you go, little guy." Willow hands him the photograph. "You two are definitely related."
King holds it in his paws and he studies the image of his dad. He's sweeping what appears to be a beard to the side and he is in fact wearing one of Eda's bad girl coven shirts.
He's tall, way taller than Luz.
Was he going to be that tall?
"It's my dad." King says. It was his dad. He was holding a picture of his dad in his claws. He knows what his dad looks like now.
"King?" Luz kneels the ground in front of him. "Are you okay?"
King meets his sister's eyes. "I..I think so." He sniffles.
"If you need to cry, we got plenty of tissues in here." Willow tells him. "And our own tears to cry too."
"That won't be necessary. But...thanks Willow." King returns his gaze to the photo. "Would it be dangerous to Luz if I kept this?"
"As long as it doesn't get damaged, it should be okay." Willow smiles. "I know you'll keep it safe."
"Big sister seconds this!" Luz hugs him tight for a moment. "Want to see any more? I bet there's a lot of titan dad memories in here just waiting for you to see." She points at her head.
"I...I think this is good for now, Luz." King tucks the picture to his chest. "Thank you."
"Of course, King." Luz plants a kiss on top of his skull and then she rises to her feet. "Now what say we raid the cafeteria for some snacks?"
King bounces on his heels. "Snacks!" He rushes out the room with picture still in his paw. He isn't ever letting it out of his sight.
Luz follows after him with Willow beside her.
She's glad that King has gotten the chance to see what his dad looks like. It's all she could ever ask for and now it was real.
She feels happy about that.
