The Owl House: Best/Worst Case AU part 1

This is another one of those ideas that I came up with while messaging my buddy @ordinaryschmuck. I'm going to be releasing it in parts. Partly to get a sense of people's interest in the idea and partially because this is so long it could be it's own legit piece of fanfiction.

The story begins eight years post the Owl House's canon, when Amity and Luz are in their twenties. Amity found out that Luz had, once again, hidden something from her due to not wanting her to worry. Tired of her girlfriend not telling her about her issues, Amity goes to visit Luz, who's helping Raine catalogue Belos's old hidden stash of magic items, and they quickly get into an argument. One of the worst ones of their relationship. So bad In fact that Amity ends up saying she wished she'd never met Luz.

Luz's heart brakes hearing that.

Luz: Y-you don't mean that!

Amity: Maybe I do. After all, if you're just going to keep your feelings hidden and not talk them through with me...then what's the point of us even being together?

With that, Amity leaves. She spends the night staying with Emira at her place, still stewing over her feelings about Luz.

She wakes up the next day.....and when she stretches her arms after waking up, she sees the Emperor's coven sigil on her right inner wrist.

Amity: What the hell?!

She stares at it closely to make sure it's real, even attempting to wipe it off, to no avail. Then, she looks away from it and her eyes fill with more fear and confusion as she sees her surroundings

Instead of Emira and Viney's guest bedroom, she was in a four walled, stone room covered in Emperor's coven symbols and paraphernalia.

Amity jumps out of bed, breath heavy with panic.

Amity: Emira! This isn't funny! Come on, knock it off with this!

When she gets no response, she starts experimentally touching all the Emperor's coven items in the room and her fear growing more and more as each one felt real.

Amity: No, no, no! No, this-this is just an illusion!

She then notices an open window and, as one ultimate test, slowly moves her hand closer and closer to the opening until hee hand went out the window, proving that this WASN'T just an illusion.

Now, violently freaking out, she looked outside the window and, to her horror, realized that she was in the Emperor's palace.

A knock at the door made her jump. She came over to it and cautiously opened the doo .....to reveal a tiny Golden Guard.

Golden Guard: Miss Blight. I'm sorry to bother you so early, but Emperor Belos has requested an audience with you.

Amity: Hunter?

The little golden guard flipped up his mask to reveal a child of about ten or so that eerily resembled Hunter, only without the scars.

Golden Guard: I'm sorry, who? I don't know anyone by that name.

Amity simply stares at him, frozen in shock.

The Golden Guard child just shrugs and puts his mask back on.

Golden Guard: Well, I have to go. But a word of advice? Don't keep him waiting. He's...not a patient man.

He walks away.

Amity slams the door shut and tries her best to still her violently beating heart.

Amity: Okay...Okay. I dont know what's going on. But the best thing I can do is just...play along for now.

So, she got dressed, puts on an Emperor's coven robe she found on a hook in her room and prepared to meet with Belos.

To be continued......

Watching and Dreaming textposts part 1 cause I have a few more

M'kay so I actually really like how Dana didn't confirm whether or not Eda and Raine got married, because she's right: A couple doesn't have to be married to prove their love to each other. It's really nice representation. And props to Raine's va for suggesting that.

Trigger warning for mention of sa and killing btw

So I've been getting into Mouthwashing lately (great game tbh) and I saw an animation meme of Anya and it was implied she was killing Jimmy (fair) and there was one comment at the top of the comment section that said "Poor Anya, if only she was brave enough to stand up for herself"

So anyone who knows anything about Mouthwashing knows that Anya was in a situation where she couldn't stand up for herself. She did her best but didn't recieve the help she needed and it's heavily implied that Jimmy would've ended her life if she had stood up to him

So there were a few replies to that comment that were explaining calmly that she was in a dangerous situation and couldn't stand up for herself, like many sa victims in real life

But one person just straight up replied "If only Jimmy wasn't a weirdo"

And if that isn't the most perfect response to that statment, idk what is

Hey y'all look at this neat thing

THIS

Hunter isn't my favorite (he's a cool character with cool development, I'm just drawn to other characters more) but I absolutely LOVE the portrayal of abuse and trauma through him and how it's handled so well and so realistically. I absolutely adore realism, especially in cartoons (especially kids cartoons like it's great man) and I just love how real all of it feels. His reactions are nothing less than understandable and even if you don't relate to what he's going through you can understand. And the fact that he's a fictional character too and yet feels so realistic. This applies to so many cartoon characters, especially the characters on TOH, but Hunter is one of the best examples.

Even if you don't personally like Hunter, we can not ignore how realistic the representation of abuse, trauma response, etc. is when it comes to Hunter. As someone who is a victim of abuse, gaslighting, etc. and was also semi sheltered growing up, Hunter's demeanor and way of thinking is spot on (at least from my experience. it's important to note that one abuse experience isn't universal. This is why I think it's amazing that owl house has three different abuse victims).

It feels validating to have that shown on screen and not taunted or even done away with the next episode. Also appreciate the accurate representation of panic attacks

Y'all this is so important

This could save lives so I thought I’d share!

As someone from California, I can confirm we all look like that. We just have two circles for eyes.

They didn't even owl-houseify her ppl in California just be looking like that
