M'kay So Every Toh Fan Is Currently Talking About How It's Been A Year Since Hollow Mind And How Hollow

M'kay so every toh fan is currently talking about how it's been a year since Hollow Mind and how Hollow Mind was such a fantastic episode because it was and it was so good for so many reasons, but I wanna talk about how it's been a year since Reaching Out which is my favorite episode and I've just gotta ramble.

M'kay so first off, the writing. Oh my god, the writing is brilliant. The way they delivered the important scenes in the episode with such maturity, and the way that they even added jokes into the episode. Not a lot, but that's for obvious reasons. And none of the jokes were about Luz's dad. None of them were about her grief. None of them were about her bottling up her feelings about her dad and his passing, and how she isn't able to spend it with her mom this year which is probably the only way she's been able to cope with his death. It's really hard to make an episode about a mature topic with jokes in it without making the jokes seem inappropriate or somehow joking about the topic, but toh did it. I can't say I'm surprised tbh. Also the way it showed how Luz is dealing with the grief vs. her mom dealing with it. Her mom is sad, but calm. Luz is upset and emotional, and just straight up avoids the topic, which is SO realistic. No super dark and dramatic moments, but moments that rip your heart out nonetheless. Also the way Amity deals with it. She's upset at Luz for lying to her, which is fair, but after hearing about *why* Luz lied, Amity isn't mad anymore. She understands now and helps Luz deal with it the best they could. Amity doesn't even bring it up again, respecting how Luz needed a moment to talk about herself and how Luz already apologized. Also the way we get so much family content between the Clawthornes and the Blights is so nice.

Next off I love how they handled Amity dealing with her dad. Amity didn't forgive him right away. She didn't accept his hug but she did accept him wanting to try again and be a better father (and I love how he does become such a good dad to all of his kids it's so nice they all deserve it.) Alador admits his mistakes, he admits that he needs to do better, and if that isn't beautiful- Also, while he did admit he was in the wrong, Amity did not forgive her father. And tbh, he didn't deserve forgiveness, atleast not right away. Amity and her siblings had been neglected by him their whole lives, and although the main focus was on Amity, I believe the twins also needed time to forgive, and see if he would actually change and be a good dad.

Speaking of the twins, they both had a good amount of growth too. Edric was the main focus out of the two of them, sure, but Emira also had some growth. Both of them discovered other types of magic they were interested in (on their own, might I add) and later on joined those tracks as well. Also they were both such loving siblings this episode, with both of them supporting, protecting, and taking care of their little sister, even tho Amity was annoyed that they were there in the beginning. I love how they have such realistic teenager looks as well, with leg hair and acne and everything. And them also being accepted into the Bad Girl coven as well was the icing on the cake. I swear they went from being annoying older siblings constantly messing and teasing their sister to being her best friends and being super supportive. We love to see it tbh.

And finally, I like how this episode finally addressed why Luz didn't have her dad in her life, which I know for a fact the fandom has been wondering since season 1. But I fr thought that Camilla and Manny just divorced or something, not that Manny straight up died. Another thing I love, even tho it's mentioned in Thanks To Them, is how Manny was the reason Luz got into The Good Witch Azura, which ended up not only leading her into the Boiling Isles, but also letting her officially meet Eda, connecting with Amity and them becoming friends (and eventually girlfriends), and basically shaping her personality. So, in a way, Luz's dad is partially the reason she discovered the Boiling Isles.

One more thing I really like is how we not only got some cute Lumity content, but we also saw them hit a pivotal point in their relationship; their first fight. Obviously, it wasn't fun to see them fight, but the way they handled it was so mature and very nice, honestly. Amity being understandably upset with Luz for lying to her and getting her in trouble with Alador. Instead of blowing up, Amity goes off on her own to cool down. Luz then joins her later and Amity asks Luz why she lied. Not in an angry kind of way, but she was still upset and deserved to know the reason. She was asking in a concerned way, as she knew that Luz was having a rough day and that could've been why she was acting like that. Luz admitting that what she did was wrong, and shouldn't be excused, even though she was dealing with stuff and her mind was all over the place. It's understandable why Luz lied, and she isn't a bad person for lying to Amity, but she still (very unintentionally) hurt Amity. After Amity learned what was going on, like I said earlier, she immediately dropped the subject in respect for Luz. Luz had already apologized anyways, so there was no point to bring it up again. Then Amity tells Luz that she'll do something with her here to honor her dad, so that Luz feels better. Then later, Amity keeps her promise and helps Luz send off some flowers. The way the two of them handled their first fight was so mature, and honestly healthier than some adults I've seen irl. How fictional teenage girlfriends can handle a conflict better than some adults, idk. But anyways.

Gosh this episode was so good. It lives rent free in my head. And the fact that Dana put some of her own life into Luz just made this episode sting just a little bit more. I related to Luz a lot before this episode, but after it, GOD I related to her hard. Anyways, that was just me rambling, thanks for reading this long mess if you did.

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......
