I love these so much. I'm having a powerful temptation to try writing a take on the series that revolves around the Boiling Isles having a wholly unique culture that Belos has been subverting across the centuries, gradually twisting myths and legends around death and transformation into ones of guilt and inescapable sin. "Bloody paint on the hands, feet, and mouth? When we were primordial beasts, we sustained ourselves with the red hunt, tearing our prey apart and glorifying ourselves in their slaughter. Oh, we don't do that sort of thing these days. Not often, anyway." "Abomination paint under the eyes? That symbolizes the death and decay from which we grew, and we memorialize it in tears because our lifegiver could only create us through the ultimate sacrifice. Our art pays homage to the Titan, without whose death we literally would not exist." And then along comes Belos, insisting that this is a perversion meant to absolve witches of the true horror of their existence, not as their god's children, but parasites whose sustained existence only indicts them for crimes against their maker. It would add a new dimension to the coven system, not just as a "purer" form of magic, but one allegedly intended to reconcile the unworthy wretches of the world to their creator.

For anyone who read Six Tropes, this is precisely what Luz is seeing at the end of the first chapter (minus the pointed ears). XD
Reposting all the art (that I can currently show off without spoiling unpublished content) that I've commissioned from the talented @gibbledygoo for my Owl House fanfic, Your Touch | Freedom to be Me. The timeline has been altered. Luz Noceda is sixteen and has been homeless for five years. Driven by a new resolution each day to survive, she perseveres through loneliness and trauma, even as the shadows behind her eyes continue to lengthen. When an impossible door offers an escape from a lifetime of horrors, the fact that she's entered a realm of demons offers no deterrence: she has found a home at last. It has been roughly two years since the Day of Unity collapsed uneventfully and wild witches are still on the decline as the Emperor's Coven gathers its strength and consolidates the once untamed eastern lands. Edalyn Clawthorne, the self-proclaimed most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles and accursed Owl Lady, is about to find a surprise waiting in the market that will change her life forever. Written as if for a new audience, this all-original story gives a fresh perspective of the Boiling Isles. Carrying her trauma like a constant companion, one PTSD-stricken teenager sets about changing the world one imperfectly mended heart at a time. Even for long-time fans of the series, nothing will be quite like how you remember it, except that our protagonist still changes the lives of everyone she touches.
A friend wrote a short one-shot TOH fic taking place in the aftermath of the finale. Five minute read for some feels is a good deal. https://archiveofourown.org/works/58213009

ART REQUESTS FOR POLITICAL ACTION!!!
Hey y’all! So I don’t talk about where I work on fandom socials because I don’t want to dox myself or whatever but fun fact: I am a scientist in the Office of Research and Development at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency! I am speaking now as a private citizen and not as an EPA representative. An article from the NYT came out yesterday saying that the reduction in force plan for the EPA includes a dissolution of my office, which, to be clear, is the entire scientific research arm and the largest office of the agency. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that would significantly hinder the EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment.
It’s not just the EPA: the unelected and not congressionally approved leader (Elon Musk) of the unofficial department that was not established by Congress (DOGE) is (illegally) coming after ALL federal services just so their billionaire friends can get richer. I know a lot of you are not U.S. Americans, so you can’t do anything, but for those of you who are: please do something, whether it’s calling or writing your reps, showing at a protest, or just talking to your family (talk to your family about Social Security, Medicare, and the VA particularly).
This is about the constitution (which has been violated an absurd amount of times in the last two months), it is about YOUR public services, it is about YOUR worker’s rights and civil rights, and it is, frankly, about the economy, which is already taking a hit.
Every little thing that you do counts 🙏🏼 AND if you do something I WILL FULFILL AN ART REQUEST FOR YOU!!! I have never done this before, so patience please 💖💖💖 but I will do my best and I look forward to hearing about your action!!! DM me with your political action after you have done it and your request (I may negotiate based on my skill level 😅).
Willow, my beloved.
I was watching some toh video essays and got reminded how cool Willow is. I love her character arc and (not to sound too preachy) it’s cool to see a character that has a body type more similar to mine be a major player in the story.
(And a reminder that if you think this looks cool, I do ✨commissions✨)
she's going places (textless alt beneath the thingy)
