asks pt 3 (last for now)
Yeah, Mike pointed that out to me on discord at the time, I just forgot to bring it up on the blog... jaysus. Love these disasters.
(my point still stands that at least they’re not her own feathers haha)
No yeah I’ve been thinking about that too! Either it was in the Owl House, which means it’s in the Bonesborough Precinct warehouse (uh, or they saved it when they got François, but we didn’t see them do so) or Hooty swallowed it... so really, it’s up to if Hooty remembers he has it/that they took it. Hooty’s very good at forgetting about important things, but he’s also good at suddenly remembering them....
(it, uh, may be relevant to the fic I’m kinda sorta writing rn)
(I should get that done before the next ep comes out, it’s just speculation on what’s been happening on the Isles during the time period of Thanks to Them)
He really is an excellent manipulator... until he runs up against someone who realizes that’s his game and is willing to play it too. One of the things I really enjoy, thinking back on his presence throughout the show, is how much of what we saw him say was just... lying. Here we all were, trying to piece together what he wanted to ‘purify’ magic for, why he wanted to bring the Titan to the human realm like in that vision, what the Big Plans were that he had for Hunter... and even when we figured he had ulterior motives, there’s this kinda “play by the rules” assumption that made us figure that he was just misrepresenting the things he was showing us, rather than making them up out of whole cloth. (The ‘plans’ for Hunter were to sacrifice him, etc) But no, yeah, ‘purification’ was just a buzzword to help get everyone sealed, he never meant to bring the Titan to the Human Realm and it just made a dramatic show for the Coven Heads, there were never any plans for Hunter besides being the next Grimwalker assistant. He doesn’t play by the rules. He’s not a noble demon, even to the viewer.
I actually touched on this in my fic We Sing It Anyway! Terra definitely knows, though I had her a bit more subtle about it. This is shortly after the previous Golden Guard’s death, and Hunter-- who hasn’t appeared yet, nobody knows he exists-- is too young to take on the mantle, leading to a few years without a Golden Guard and Lilith heading the EC under her own name.
“He really did kick it,” Ulrich said, and Darius’s eye twitched.
“I’m not surprised,” Terra said, leaning back in her chair. “He was getting reckless. I’m surprised he made it this long— there were two before him, since I’ve been a Head Witch. Can’t imagine who’ll replace him; there are no obvious candidates.”
“I heard it’ll be Clawthorne,” Aconia put in. “Good head on her shoulders, that one. Would have scouted her within my own coven, had she not joined the Emperor’s.”
“That little tiger lily doesn’t really fit the profile“, Terra said, eyes twinkling. “Besides, she’s not even the strongest Clawthorne. Did you never meet her sister?”
Whoops, thanks for the tip! It’s fixed now.
Neat, I know a couple people who are really enjoying it! That said, if I’m gonna blog anything other than Owl House, it’s gonna be Princess Tutu, which I do really want to get back to! I was really enjoying it as a show, I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to get the ~activation energy~ to blog it. Getting back to Tutu properly is one of my intentions for this new year, though!
