Set after the events of the series finale, dive deeper into the Boiling Isles than ever before.
King has never fully considered what it means to be a Titan—until now. Burdened by the knowledge that he will outlive his beloved Owl House family, he’s still determined to enjoy every moment he can with them. Even if that means using one of the Collector’s devices to wipe away his sad memories.
But when King accidentally erases Luz’s memories, he must enlist the Collector and Eda to help him recover Luz’s memories and confront their deepest fears along the way. Packed with humor, action, and stunning black-and-white illustrations in a fresh, manga-inspired style, this graphic novel welcomes readers back to The Owl House with an unforgettable adventure.

my bbs
do you ever think about how matt and steve being brothers & matt being in a competitive school like glandus but then having to switch implies their parents have very high expectations for them
like it’s entirely possible matt was expected to join the emperor’s coven too
which adds another layer to the gusmatt dynamic and their relationships with being “gifted”…
in my brain, for some reason, i've kinda always imagined their parents not really being in the picture, at least as matt grew up. kind of a "steve having to raise his little brother all on his own" thing, what with how many odd jobs matt picked up as a 13 year old, and how he overall was just in a really bad situation
but that definitely wouldn't keep matt from the pressure of being like his brother, probably from teachers and students from glandus, and he absolutely was trying to follow in steve's footsteps.
that tholomule parents hc is also really fun to think about and work with
either way, i love how that idea fits into the gm dynamic! gus being 'gifted', being the personification of the thing matt always tried so hard to be... seemingly without even trying...
gus feeling guilty for that giftedness and being worried about talking about his problems to him because of that.....
youre cooking as per usual
doodle for a super cute fic I read :D
thank you for introducing me to this fic gang it was teeth rotting sweet
I made Gus comforting Matt in chibi form

(guy who literally has easy access to painkillers voice) ough,,, everything aches,,, ouch, if only,,, there was something i could do to stop this,,,,,, guess ill just put up with it,,,,
more mattholomule headcanons bc the obsession NEVER fully stops idc if its been months trust me im still thinking about him
-
- yk how some people wear two shirts and the first one kinda comes out the ends as a “skirt” i think he’d unintentionally do that
- gossips with amity religiously like they are massive shit talkers and boscha is 9/10 the victim
- is so cocky bc steve praised him a lot growing up, like if his awesome older brother says he’s the best then it must be true? even when he’s feeling real insecure and being picked on he tries to remind himself of steve’s words
- talked in third person as a child bc steve did (trust me TRUST ME) it was really hard to unlearn and very annoying to everyone around
- copied bria’s outfits when they were little
- just generally followed her around
- post timeskip him and the HAS still have movie nights with films gus brings from the human realm
- during the apocalypse matt was on kindergartener duty at bedtime. he tired them out the fastest, also could make illusions of their favorite bedtime stories
-bc gustho and lumity are often referenced to be parallels i like to imagine matt is good with kids like amity is, in a very different way but yk i still think it’s cute
- is very good and at organizing and scheduling (this is canon, in hindsight) helps lots of people out with this, including gus
- sometimes lets gus win in fights to cheer him up. but without using magic matt bodies him dont fight me on this we know im right
- loves makeup and nail polish and tattoos just bc its all artsy, usually uses gus as a human canvas to practice
-
i have a mini fic/drabble for yall i didn’t forget im just still writing it bc it wasn’t cohesive
@yourelocaltransdude stop coming up with cute drawing prompts now im being embarrassing on the internet
ts so real
Do you have a post on Maria Reynolds? I haven't been able to find much information about her, I read she became a nun or something after the scandal??
i know i do, i am struggling to find it because tumblr's search function has and always will be ass
RAHHH I CANT FIND ANY OF THEM fuck this im giving you a short history of her life because i love you with all my heart
DISCLAIMER: i fucking hate Ron Chernow, especially for his treatment of Maria Reynolds in his book, but him and wikipedia are all I have right now and my relationship with him is very toxic pls help. also this post will discuss heavy things like forced prostitution and ron chernow absolutely butchering this subject so just be aware of what is best for you
Early Life
Maria Reynolds was born as Mary Lewis on March 30, 1768 to Susannah Van Der Burgh and Richard Lewis, who was Susannah's second husband. She had eleven siblings, and they did not have very much money, and were likely a pretty average 18th century white family in America, with poor literacy rates, struggles with debt, and the women being taken advantage of. They lived in Dutchess County, New York.
Maria was literate, but not well educated. This is something she was strongly mocked for by both her husband, Hamilton, Chernow, and other men. Well, I guess Hamilton didn't really mock her, but he definitely looked down on her for it. Fucking asshole. She also seemed to have very strong mood swings from a young age, and this could have been something psychological, like a mood disorder, or it could have been physiological or hormonal, such a menstrual disorder that was never properly treated because women's issues were not taken seriously at the time, mental or physical. This is also something she was mocked for.
Maria was married off to James Reynolds, a Revolutionary War veteran, on July 28th, 1783 when she was 15 years old. James Reynolds often lobbied the government for money after the war, foreshadowing his debt problems and later exploitation of his underage wife for money.
Together, the couple would have one daughter, Susan, named after her grandmother, who was born on August 18, 1785. Maria showed herself to be a devoted mother who would do anything for her daughter, including putting herself in harms way to make sure she didn't face the same fate. Unfortunately, Susan would also later be in an unhealthy relationship, despite her mother's efforts.
Maria Lewis was always described as very emotional, innocent, smart, and pretty, despite those who attempted to degrade her.
Men before Hamilton
It was early in her marriage when she was looked down upon by men, beginning with the son of her first landlady in Philadelphia.
"Her mind at this time was far from being tranquil or consistent, for almost the same minute that she would declare her respect for her husband, cry and feel distressed, [the tears] would vanish and levity would succeed, with bitter execrations on her husband. This inconsistency and folly was ascribed to a troubled, but innocent and harmless mind... [Reynolds] had frequently enjoined and insisted that she should insinuate herself on certain high and influential characters- endeavor to make assignments with them and actually prostitute herself to gull money from them." -Richard Folwell, August 12, 1797
Her complicated feelings about her husband allowed men to reduce her to being deceptive, however it shows that she was torn between her bias towards her husband, who had been around her and influencing her throughout her formative, adolescent years, and the things he was asking her to do, including prostituting herself.
These escalated to more than requests for her to prostitute herself to rich men into demands and threats. Reynolds became physically abusive to his wife if she did not comply with his demands to sleep with and extort rich men. Eventually, this became a pattern, and she became known as a prostitute who slept separately from her husband so she could entertain her midnight visitors, when essentially she was being human trafficked by her husband at the age of 18.
There is evidence to suggest that she only slept with Hamilton when Reynolds threatened to physically abuse her daughter, Susan. I'm not going to go into too much detail about the affair because I believe it's over done, but I am going to discuss how Ron Chernow talks about this woman, and the consequences of victim blaming.
Ron Chernow Hates Women
Ron Chernow discusses the Reynolds Affair in chapter 19 of his novel Alexander Hamilton. Already, he places some of the blame on Elizabeth Hamilton with the sentence "It was a dangerous moment for Eliza to abandon Hamilton,", even though he likes to put her on a pedestal so people think he's a feminist (Chernow 363). You're not a feminist, Ron, you're a 75 year old incel, and I feel bad for your wife.
Chernow introduces Maria Reynolds by stating her age at the time of the affair (23), and for some reason, making up the fact that her name is pronounced "Mariah"??? He gives no citation for this, so I'm assuming he made it up to make her seem more slutty. Her name was Maria. Actually, her name was Mary, but if we had any link between her and the Christian figure for maternity and purity, well that wouldn't work with the portrayal of her as a disgusting, crazy, lying whore, right?
Chernow uses words like "doleful tale", "fanciful", "conspired", and "trickster" to describe Maria, but gives no proof of her malicious intent towards Hamilton. He portrays Hamilton as vain, however a savior to Maria, and she simply HAD to have been in love with him because of how good of a person he was. Ron Chernow manipulates Maria Reynolds' character to fit his personal belief that there are two kinds of women: good, pure, Christian homemakers, and uneducated sluts who deserve their mistreatment from men (Chernow 367).
Even though Ron Chernow finds it more comfortable to believe that Maria worked in cohorts with her piece of shit husband, and that they together decided to use Hamilton for his money, the truth is that she was a severely abused woman throughout her entire life, especially at the hands of James Reynolds. Her manipulation of Hamilton was not to gain something, but to prevent her and her daughter from being abused. Chernow glosses over this, dismissing it as something she made up to secure a divorce, but it was proven true in a court of law. Chernow's famous cognitive dissonance strikes again: the US government is very securely made with a magnificent justice system, yet uneducated, illiterate women can manipulate it to get... a piece of notarized paper! Yeah, don't let this senile old man write any more books. Thanks.
Aftermath
The backlash from The Reynolds Pamphlet, published 1797, would haunt Maria for the rest of her life. She remarried twice, once to Jacob Clingman, who is another piece of shit who should have his dick guillotined, and the other time to Dr. Matthew (idk his last name) who she was a housekeeper for. She allegedly wrote her own pamphlet, but never published it. Idk anything about that.
Maria would raise her two grandchildren after her daughter's untimely death. She also changed her name back to Mary, becoming Mary Matthew for the rest of her life. She was devoutly religious, joining the Methodist Church, but not a nun. She died loved on March 25, 1828. And if there isn't someone on earth who loves Mary Matthew, then I am dead.
Here's your Maria Reynolds post. I love her so much, and I will defend her until I have no voice left, my fingers can't write or type, my eyes can't move, and my legs can't walk. She deserves so much better than what she got and how she's been portrayed. Vive Mary Lewis.
if ron chernow has no haters im DEAD
also ik this is an old post but adding !! dr matthews first name is joseph !!
also the vanderburghs were .. a bit more well established / stable. susanna vanderburgh could write well enough. but maria was her second to last baby - she probably just didnt get enough attention to have a better education

gang should i just post all my gustholomule drabbles to the world
hell yeah talk your shit🔥🔥🔥
ffffuckckk no dont nobody care‼️
i went through my notes app and there’s 5+
how matt came to develop a crush on gus -
at first, it’s off the bat jealousy. but see that doesn’t deter him - no it makes him deliberately seek gus out, he joins the HAS to get to gus, but for bad intentions.
id argue at glandus when they find somebody stronger they can either admire and follow or try to get rid of them, and matt is the asshole that gets rid of.
at this point he’s looking down on gus. with bria, she’s strong enough that he knows he can’t take her down so he submits to being the follower. but he’s in a new school, and he’s found someone he’s been conditioned to look down upon, an illusionist. and an illusionist with a following at that (albeit, it’s three club members, but hey, gotta start somewhere.) matt’s found an easy target and an easy group to assert dominance over.
when matt realizes he’s been had by gus bringing in luz, he immediately plays up the pity card. he’s not exactly lying, but he also knows how to appeal to emotions. he doesn’t feel bad for anything he’s done at this point, but he’s developed an aversion to gus.
because even though he got the HAS, he feels like he’s missing something. something gus still had (genuine friendship, obviously.)
so when gus comes into his life again, joins his group of glandus friends, he feels threatened. his place in the group is already a little fragile, especially since transferring, and he wants to prove his worth. however at the same time he needs to push gus down to get up again.
until .. they actually get to that graveyard. cause all things considered, matt can admire strength, both physically and of character.
also .. the illusion gus casts on bria scares matt half to death, and it is here that matt finally respects gus for holding his ground regarding the stones and winning.
and with that respect comes matt wanting to become his friend, not a crush yet. matt’s been battling an inferiority complex to gus for most of their interactions, and in response he wanted to push gus down below him when really he should’ve be working on building himself up.
their friendship mellows him out a lot. cause he actually respects gus now, his personality and his magic, but there’s also admiration. but again, this doesn’t mean there’s anything romantic. (although i know admiration and romantic feelings are often mixed up, i dont think matt is like that.)
i don’t think matt develops a crush until after he comes back from the human realm, and after defeating belos.
not because gus did something cool that impressed him or anything like that.
because gus was vulnerable with him. i think all matt’s life he’s been conditioned to hate, or at least be critical of weakness.
his brother is a coven scout, his friends at glandus were all impressive witches. even in “new hexside” all the students displayed acts of strength and nobility in their horrible situation.
in all honesty i don’t think matt’s ever been close enough for someone to willingly seek him out for comfort in a dark point. what could a person like matt give them to help? he’d surely never be anyone’s first choice for affection or advice
until gus. gus who is still so traumatized about what happened to him, but instead of his friends, his father or suffering in silence.
he wants matt.
obviously matt has seen people at low points, including gus. but it’s the trust gus shows for matt that gets him.
i think matt, post apocalypse, has himself pretty figured out emotionally, and i think he clocks the change he’s feeling for gus right away.
at first he’s pretty annoyed with himself. him and gus have a good thing going, and now he’s gotta bring feelings into the mess?
he knows gus would be kind, wouldn’t ditch him, it would not ruin their friendship if he confessed.
that pisses him off a little more. because genuinely, of course he’d develop a crush on gus. who else of all people?
i do however think matt’s inferiority complex would still be in the way. i think he’d doubt his potential to be a good partner.
he’d get there eventually. but he’ll have to do the same thing gus did, get vulnerable.

this isnt too well written or thought out i just suddenly wanted to write about this.
my personal headcanons / gm analysis which is definitely tainted by personal experiences because i project onto matt a lot
