The Owl House Characters if they were in a horror movie:

Luz: The Final Girl

Eda: “I’m not trapped in here with you, you’re trapped in here with me” hisses

King: The one everyone protects

Lily: Has to confess her dark secrets in front of everyone in the final hour

Gus: Knows the tropes extremely well, tries to help everyone by guiding them through it. He may also turn it back around on the monster and scare them bc he’s just like that.

Willow: Doesn’t want to be there but then her friends get hurt and she’s swinging

Amity: Trips and falls while running away

Hunter: Gets bloodsplattered on, generally having a terrible time like always

Raine: Makes extremely logical decisions… it doesn’t work, 100% almost dies

Darius: Nopes out immediately but then has to come to the rescue bc Raine is silly

Belos: Is the monster (yeah)

Bonus

Caleb: *dies in the cold open*

Deamonne AU… When Darius is elected a coven head while hunter is still a kid, he realizes (part) of what’s going on and in an impulse decision he grabs Hunter and steals illusion stones from Graye. He goes to Eda who helps him escape to the human realm with Hunter. Over time Hunter forgets about the demon realm and is your average introverted nerd boy. He and Luz never talk but he sees her a lot. Hunter doesn’t take the illusion stone off because he believes something bad will happen if he does due to repressed memories, but he still has that ingrained curiosity so when he sees Luz running into the woods he’s curious and follows her. Big mistake. 😏

Terra 100% knew about Hunter. She was a younger coven head in the 90s and while Belos kept Hunter isolated, Darius did not seemed surprised at all by what he looked like and already had feelings about Hunter and what he represents so it’s likely that the former golden guard had relationships with the coven heads also. The coven heads didn’t look super surprised to see Belos’ face either. Raine looked concerned but that’s pretty reasonable and they also were a newer employee.

That said, it’s actually pretty amazing how secure Darius was as a coven head especially being one of the younger ones. He’s kind of in the lead role of the whole group, which may be because he’s the Abomination coven head and it appears that abomination is one of the most powerful or the most powerful form of magic and it seems like everyone likes him because he’s good at playing the long game and becoming what people want him to be. Maybe Terra didn’t want to be the leader or she and Darius are equal but if so… jeez man, he must’ve been really good at gaining power.

One major thing that bugs me in the Owl house fandom is how people react and try to “cancel” the characters when there’s a range of what people do and how it effects the other characters. For example, a lot of people hate Camilla for sending Luz to the Reality Check Summer Camp and yeah, maybe that wasn’t the best choice but as a parent in a world where if you don’t conform you don’t survive, it makes sense. Camilla loves Luz the way she is, but you want your kid to succeed and be okay, and also Luz did some things that did warrant her getting in trouble. I think you can list out the flaws of any character in the show and the bad things they’ve done but it really doesn’t matter because everybody messes up. It does matter when it’s repeated behavior of somebody who isn’t going to stop. It doesn’t mean the people effected by those who harmed them are just going to forget. I don’t think Willow or Hunter are going to totally forgive the people who hurt them that are their allies now and that’s fair. And some people don’t deserve forgiveness. But there’s also a level of understanding for these characters where, like yeah, Hunter doesn’t deserve forgiveness for everything he’s done. Neither does Lily or Amity or Darius or even Eda a little bit. Because they have done bad things. And it’s the choice of the people they harmed whether or not to forgive them. And you know, like some people can be forgiven and you don’t need to “cancel” a fictional character for screwing up or making a choice that negatively effected somebody else.

*This is NOT about Belos, Kiki, and Odalia because all three of them don’t deserve redemption or forgiveness. They went above and beyond the ability to be forgiven. I don’t mind sympathetic takes on them and I’m a little more understanding of Kiki but I do want to make it clear that there’s a difference between making a bad decision and abusing a kid. As far as Odalia thinking she’s doing “what’s best” for her kids, “what’s best” shouldn’t include the deaths of other people lmao.
