I never realized why I love The Owl House (TOH) so much until I re read the Amulet series again. There's just something so similar with the two. Anyone can enjoy TOH to any extent but I feel like hose who read Amulet enjoyed it just a tiny bit more

Sometimes, self-care if you buying all the books of a series you used to read in middle school because the final book is supposed to come out later this year and you gotta refresh your memory of literally everything before getting the final book because I'LL BE DANGED IF I DON'T FIND OUT HOW IT ENDS!

Expect for me to have some Amulet brainrot for a while until TOH s2b premiers.

“Don’t ask me if I”m ready. Because no matter what happens, I’ll have to be a hero.”

Finally finished. It was pretty fun working with watercolors again 😁

Some messy collages I made of Emily and Trellis last year 

"Wake me up..."

Navin: Before you go go!

Emily: When September ends...

Trellis: WAkE mE UP InsIdE!!!!!

Who agrees that amulet is underrated?

This is just an opinion but I believe out of all the Amulet characters, Trellis is the most well-written.

Why do I believe this? Well because out of all of the characters Trellis feels the most like a real person. When I mean by that is Trellis is, in my opinion, the most thought out character in the series.

He has a personality, he’s relevant to the story, and most importantly, he has GOALS. He wants to help his people and take the thrown and crown away from the elf king who is leading his people in a direction that will lead to their downfall. He helps the rebellion because he WANTS TO. Emily has stated multiple times, that she helps because she feel like she has to which would’ve been an interesting plot point but Kazu Kibuishi abandoned the thought of having an idea like that. Trellis also wants to kind out what happened to his memories that are connected to the elf king which is also RELEVANT TO THE PLOT BECAUSE IT MIGHT REVEAL HOW TO DEFEST HIM.

The more I think about it the more I feel more upset about how Kazu Kibuishi dealt with Emily. Emily felt more like a real character in the first two books. In those books she had a goal. Save her mom. It’s what drove her to accept the amulet and join Leon. It’s what influenced her decisions and made us root for her. In the later books Emily has none of that which is upsetting because she had so much potential.

ok but hear me out,,,,,,, them as qpps

see I told you I fucking told you

I wish we could have had more world building, especially with old Emily. They just mention she's like the most powerful stonekeepers and that she has a son???

Please book 9, please tie up some loose end

If I had the ability I'd make an animated adaption of the Amulet series, albeit with some new stuff added for context and better world+character building and some old stuff removed because god damn it I'm sorry but I hate the part where Emily's FUTURE SELF WHICH JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HELPS HER INSTEAD OF TRELLIS. It makes me want to drop myself into the void. Like, there's so many potential and cool ideas in this comic that either gets written poorly or abandoned in the end. But then again there's a chance I'd butcher the entire plot so badly it'll look a mutilated chew toy so I should probably not take any chances for now

The fathers of Stranger Things:  (narrative analysis)

This analysis will discuss all the dads in st. But will mostly focus on the parallels between Brenner, Lonnie, Neil,and Hopper. And the ramifications on their kids.And no i’m not saying Hopper is necessarily as bad as these other fathers/doesn’t have his reasons. But i think the parallels are worth mentioning.

Cycles of Ab*se  & internalizing your father’s teachings

Baseball-We see in s2 the cycle of abuse is there- Billy mimics Neil, and then Max mimics Billy. And uses violence to stand up for herself- which earlier she said she was trying to combat … explaining she can be angry like Billy sometimes but she never wants to be like him (her nickname symbolizing this: aka ‘mad max’).  

We see in s3 Neil taught Billy baseball and bullied him  and called him a “p*ssy” so Billy as a child bullied others and calls them a “p*ssy” (internalizing his father’s teachings and probably venting his anger towards his father on to others). We also see Billy in s2 antagonizes max and demands “say it. say it!”And later Max yells at Billy “say it! say it” and attacks him with a bat. Showing that even Neil has influenced her to a certain extent (via Billy’s ab*se of Max). 

We also see in s3 when Will is frustrated he destroys cb (a symbol of his artistic ambition/the day his father left) and destroys it with a  baseball bat (and then we see the mf officially return) . We also see in s2, Will has a baseball next to the mf drawing (in his room). This is noteworthy due to the fact Jonathan in s1 asks if Will even likes baseball or is just doing it to appease his father. in s1, Will admits he isn’t a fan of baseball -showing how this ‘interest’ in baseball in later seasons just reflects his desire to win his father’s approval (through more sterotypically masculine hobbies).  And we see how both Neil & Lonnie taught both their sons baseball- who are both named William -and who they would call  “f*gs”. We also see in s1 Jonathan lugs around a baseball bat & his father’s gun -however neither tool is used by him in the end successfully. However, in s3 we see Jonathan using an axe (like Joyce) showing by this point he’s mostly taken on Joyce’s influence. 

El’s spying , fighting the Russians, and  lack of care for her safety shows she internalized Brenner’s teachings- We know in s1 El was trained to be a spy/weapon against the soviets (by Brenner). And in later seasons when it comes to her interpersonal relationships- she continues to spy on everyone around her.  she spies on Mike despite his vocal discomfort in s3. Brenner specifically tells her to spy and repeat the words the guys are saying back to him- which is exactly what she does to Lucas and Mike (spying on them and repeating their words back to Max). And when Mike is concerned for her safety we also have El mimic Brenner’s words (from s1) . in s1 she is also said to be taken by Brenner to be a “weapon to fight the commies” and in s3 that’s exactly what she did!  She does literally everything Brenner ever wanted from her!!!!!!!

Jonathan & Billy’s fights with Steve (reflect their father issues… which Steve accidentally triggered)- We see Billy and Jonathan both shoved into walls by their father’s . For Billy this is in a direct consequence of Max running away and for Jonathan- Will’s disappeareance. Billy first shoves Lucas into the wall similarly to Neil. And both Jonathan and Billy are told to “STOP”.

Billy also breaks a plate over Steve’s head. What’s interesting to note is in s3 we see Billy’s mother threw a plate at  Billy’s father (so he was mimicking the dysfunction he saw as a child). kind of like how in s3 he backhands max (mirroring how neil backhanded his mother in the s3 flashback). 

When it comes to jonathan we see jonathan tell nancy to leave and it’s “not worth it” to argue with Steve. However he stops in his tracks when Steve says he’s “like his father”. Then Steve proceeds to insult his family. And  eventually Jonathan who throughout every season is generally portrayed as non confrontational attacks steve. similarly when Billy and Jonathan are beating Steve (who is laying on the ground)-multiple people are yelling for them to stop.But both are in too much of a triggered daze to stop themselves. Even when the cops come- Jonathan elbows the cop in the face and kicks steve with handcuffs on and even says handcuffed for the cop to “get off’ (like he told Lonnie earlier). 

Both would rather do this to their own fathers-but Steve (and the cops) were used as their proxy instead. The fights might reflect what the boys have been taught by their fathers-aka vi*lence. Also on some subconscious level jonathan may have been like-oh you think i’m like my dad? I’ll show you what my dad is like (beats steve with no mercy).

***also, tw se*ual ab*se (you can skip)-during the jonathan fight they also bring up the “pervy photo sesh”- which jonathan took right after seeing his father. in the movies said to inspire s4 they often had a se*ually ab*sive dad/relative who would take innaproriate pics of his kids.uuuuugh. So jonathan may have just been mimicking that past behavior of his father. ugh.***

father’s ab*se  reflects the supernatural

*if you know about my did theory-part 1 and 2 you’ve heard this stuff in detail but i’ll just give a brief synopsis 

- The demogorgan that attacks Will in s1 is  a demon called the “deep FATHER” in d&d.

One thing i never expected to happen iz Aziraphale helping me with my eating disorder.
