Commish For TheMsource On DA

I just remembered the "Please. I don't want to see another human life destroyed by this place” line, and honestly did they have scenes of Luz starting to wonder if Belos' had a point and going into the island did destroy her life? If not, they should have had.

No, they did not have Luz ever wonder how the isles affected Belos--except in the storyboards:

Luz still calls him out for trying to destroy the isles and being a hypocrite but there's still that moment of empathy in which she asks point blank: "What do you think they DID to you?!" She briefly contemplates just why someone would go so far to destroy an entire population and what his mindset might be. Unfortunately, this was not included in the final version and Belos' expression is blank instead of pleading.

Then there's this storyboard from For the Future in which Luz, Eda, and King explain to the Collector how people like Amity and Lilith became their friends:

Luz's line about "people being complicated" is in the episode but the entire exchange between her and the Collector is not even though it opens up a lot of interesting ideas and themes. Without it though, the show becomes straight up hypocritical when it states that people are complicated but reduces its villains to generic archetypes and its hero characters as being simply misguided or victims of the villains.

And no, this doesn't mean that the show should have excused Belos' actions or even forgiven him; but they could have and should have acknowledged the complexity of his character by keeping this nuance in and how the characters react to it. By doing so, the message of "people are complicated" becomes clear and strengthens the other characters as well. Luz gets to self-reflect on how she sees other people and learn that even the worst people among us are incredibly complex and have driving forces that are uncomfortably close to our own, thus making it much harder to demonize them. The Collector--instead of being a Giant Star Baby--keeps both his childlike bluntness and keen observational skills that he had in season 2, thus fleshing out the character instead of devolving him.

Regrettably, that nuance is absent from the show and we have a rather black-and-white narrative about Good vs. Evil; people are only ever really "bad" if someone tricked them or if there was a misunderstanding and all the Real Bad People are just selfish jerks who are power hungry and controlling.

This is not compelling storytelling; this is a tale as old as time. And the worst part is that there was a great story in The Owl House but it was left in the rough drafts.

Part 2 - Part 3

Ragatha is giving every circus member a little kiss ~

I‘m also giving my opinion as to why..

Kinger: is a very neutral Guy. She knows he‘s a nutcase but nonetheless kind.

Zooble: Has great potential to be a good friend who she can talk to. Because of their nature it would only make sense that those two enjoy each others company and can have „down to earth“ conversations.

Gangle: she’s just a cutie who deserves some love :3

Pomni: though they don’t know each other well yet, I‘d like to think that they could grow very close because Ragatha is a good source for comfort and Pomni definitely needs someone to hold their hand.

Caine: a very Tumblr sexyman! But he freaks her out! He‘s also the reason why everyone goes through f*cked up adventures everyday… so that‘s a turn off.

Bubble: NO!

Jax: well… I‘m making a part two ;)

slapped some colors on an old comic

bonus:

originally posted on my tiktok, just something cool i found 4 years after i bought the volume :)

shitty mha doodles w the headcanon generator pt 2 :33

More stupid Jax, this time with BUNNYDOLL!

ive seen so many bunnydoll fanart with jax and stoned ragatha, well HERE IT IS BUT THE OTHER WAY AROUNDD

Time to Study!

More of the blonde trio. Part of my Aoyama/Monoma traitor AU. Yes Aoyama is wearing a scrunchie and I’m mad no one appreciates his short long hair and hate how no one utilizes that detail lmao. I had the thought to draw this randomly and this is how I think they would react and and feel towards the actual “Student” part of the mission, in which they painfully have to actually put in an effort to pass their classes. Not Toga thoe, she’s out here balling, but not without consequence since Kurogiri has to teach her.💀

Aoyama def hates Iida’s teachers pet behavior and it sets his once happy day into an all nighter bc he prefers to procrastinate. Monoma also hates 2-A so bad bc they are all a lot more social than Aoyama’s class. He def has a ranking of most annoying in the class in his mind, he also tunes out during the lessons bc he’s an academic weapon and actually absorbs information pretty easily. Aoyama failing his classes was not planned and he actually gets scolded for it but it gives him an excuse to be in a study group and further observe and spy on his classmates. Toga on the other hand hates learning, specifically bc Kurogiri is the one teaching her and he ‘makes things too hard’. Lmao. She gets punished for not competing her work and rewarded when she does, so she basically gets what she gives🗿💀.
