[owl house spoilers] alright, let’s discuss this episode https://images.plurk.com/6Y2j2Szq678I17h9tNpTUU.jpg
A Grinning DM
Ok, so at the very start, there’s something I know a lot of people are going to miss
A Grinning DM

A Grinning DM
Grimwalker appears to be a recipe to make a fucking person using a galdorstone, palistrom wood, and some monster body parts. That eye color... we've only seen ONE character with that eye color...
A Grinning DM

A Grinning DM
Did... did Belos making a fucking homunculus clone of himself? They even have a matching ear notch.
A Grinning DM
Also, hello casually revealed face of Belos!
A Grinning DM
I can see why you hide your face
𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖘
except belos has lil ears, and hunter has witch ears. but aside from that, yeah
A Grinning DM
So now I'm really curious what Belos' plan is for hunter. Whatever it is, I guarantee it's not good.
A Grinning DM
𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖘 : yeah I think belos is a first generation witch human hybrid
𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖘
ohhh interesting
A Grinning DM
I think he's Phillip's son, and he's been kept alive by the same magic that does that shit to his face
𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖘
so you dont think hes philip, but philip's descendent ?
A Grinning DM
I don't think Hunter is a perfect clone of Belos
A Grinning DM
but it seems pretty obvious from that book that Hunter is a "grimwalker" made from magic parts (or that is a huge bad red herring)
A Grinning DM
Also, we learn that Belos has been to the human world before
𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖘
i feel like theyre moving too fast for red herrings at this point, but i love that idea about him being philip's son
A Grinning DM
also, I love the sublte sinister things sprinkled in Belos's conversation with Hunter while he's pretending to be kind
A Grinning DM
like "I'd hate for something to happen to you, it'd be such a hassle to get a replacement"
A Grinning DM
just casually giving away what a sociopath he is, but saying it in a "nice" way that Hunter doesn't pick up on
A Grinning DM
I honestly feel bad for Hunter. For all the bad shit he's done on his uncle's orders, this kid is suffering from a serious mindfuck
A Grinning DM
anyway, moving on
A Grinning DM
We meet Amity's palisman, "ghost": https://images.plurk.com/7D6fruZFw4ZAL89UaB8iGZ.png
A Grinning DM
Fun fact, Dana also has a pure white cat in real life
A Grinning DM
sticking your pets in the cartoon you make has got to be some sort of life goal for many an animator
A Grinning DM
I LOLed at King finding a burned CD of "something called 'LoFi Beats to Study and Relax to"
A Grinning DM
A Grinning DM
that channel has become legend
A Grinning DM
Also I noted how Gus refers to the basement of the Owl House as "our basement"
A Grinning DM
https://images.plurk.com/4pTN9pNMOYH3DMQWUsyBVj.png "this looks ancient"
A Grinning DM
"what, no, it's only... 30 YEARS OLD!? I remember seeing this in theaters!" God, Eda is SUCH a mood
A Grinning DM
That first message that Luz sends on the Tamagachi says "UR PRETTY" btw
A Grinning DM
https://images.plurk.com/Jn4vby2Y9eYniK7bFvDxx.png
A Grinning DM
BTW, I'm making my prediction for Luz's palisman: a snake with bat wings
A Grinning DM
I'm going to count how many times Amity says that she's Luz's girlfriend in this episode
A Grinning DM
I saw some people complaining about it on Reddit, but I love it. Everytime she says it, I hear "fuck you, homophobes/censors"
A Grinning DM
Also, Amity trying way too hard at her first romantic relationship makes so much sense
A Grinning DM
There's one thing she knows she's done well at: academics. Which she did well at with hard work. So now she's trying to apply that to her relationship. It's lucky she's with Luz, because that intensity would drive others away.
A Grinning DM
I like that Eda has nicknamed Amity "Boots" and how poor Gus is still called "Goops"
A Grinning DM
Kikimora is fucking unhinged
A Grinning DM
https://images.plurk.com/YW2ATv4RGcefsVALDBfVk.png Ok, this HAS to be a Katara reference
A Grinning DM
like there's really no other reason for her to have that bottle other than a reference? She's never seemed to need to store Abomigoop before
A Grinning DM
I do like in general how she is using the goop like waterbending in this episode, though. It looks rad as hell and I love the Amity shoutouts to Katara in this series
A Grinning DM
I love the comparison/contrast in the episode between Amity wanting to not let down Luz and Hunter not wanting to let down Luz but how its for totally opposite reasons
A Grinning DM
How Hunter misinterprets Luz's code as an "obvious" ultimatum because he doesn't know how people loving each other works
A Grinning DM
also, this answers the fandom question about whether palismans need wings to bestow flight in staff form: https://images.plurk.com/1PzO7NF0DiKuk9xrzovy9k.png
A Grinning DM
nice swerve of how for half the episode, the Captain of the guard is set up as sympathetic, but then she tries to kill a defenseless Amity because she's bored
A Grinning DM
ACAB
A Grinning DM
https://images.plurk.com/3E85hnSG6W4RG6Nbq46pYx.png sad trombone noise
A Grinning DM
oh look, your society used up a precious limited resource until is was all gone
A Grinning DM
though I'm not sure why the Emperor's people didn't know this. Like, why else would "mining" have stopped a long time ago?
A Grinning DM
Hunter is literally trying to dig his own grave https://images.plurk.com/1VfmkDaWoT0FyOXWXOJKnf.png
A Grinning DM
Amity tries to show Hunter kindness when she could've just bailed
A Grinning DM
She would've been objectively better off, but I like how the show frames it as worth it despite the mentally unhealthy Hunter immediately turning on her
A Grinning DM
The fight seen between Amity and Hunter is rad as hell
A Grinning DM
this show has such great fight scenes
A Grinning DM
https://images.plurk.com/7mWtea5wLvApz7FgvYue6z.png
A Grinning DM
So I only counted Amity saying she was Luz's girlfriend 3 or 4 times. Luz also says it once, and notably says "my awesome girlfriend"
A Grinning DM
which is a good callback to the scene where Amity and Hunter were alone and she says "I'm an awesome girlfriend" and Hunter says "has she told you that" and Amity gets a look of self-doubt on her face
A Grinning DM
overall, a good episode, again
A Grinning DM
didn't blow me away like the last one but Hooty set a pretty high bar there
A Grinning DM
throwing in a wholesome Lumity screenshot because this plurk is lacking in them https://images.plurk.com/7B92fI6BQwjAD2YItGDxDY.png
A Grinning DM
Anyone else have thoughts?
A Grinning DM
From Reddit: "If I had a nickel for every time an animated Mae Whitman character whose powers revolve around magically shaping liquid fell in love with a 4-element wielding magician and tried to befriend but then fought an angsty scarred teenage boy in a cavern with reflective green stone walls... I'd have two nickels"
A Grinning DM
"But it's weird that it's happened twice"
Tillie
Looks cute.
Kyo
I def agree that Belos has some sort of connection to Phillip
Kyo
sidebar, I totally had no clue Amity and Katara were the same VA but now that I know I absolutely hear it
A Grinning DM
Kyo : they’ve made previous more subtle references in the past, like Amity doing the “watching you” gesture as she backs away
Blighty
I live in fear for cardinal son and its inevitable demise
A Grinning DM
Blighty : right?
Blighty
The incredibly creative use of abomination magic was amazing in this episode and especially the fight
A Grinning DM
YES
A Grinning DM
Amitara the goopbender
Blighty
I’d really like to see more from willow this season also she’s gotten nothing so far and it’s a shame
I know we all care about lumity more but I always feel like the ‘first friend’ character type gets neglected
A Grinning DM
Yeah, she only got like 5 lines this episode and sadly that’s an improvement over the rest of season 2 for her
A Grinning DM
I feel like a lot of that is the fault of Disney cutting S3 down
Kyo
I really wanted a Willow and Amity episode tbh
Kyo
I want an awkward episode between them where Luz meddles to help them become friends.
Blighty
yes definitely
Blighty
and about willow just gaining more confidence in general - remember how luz calls willow the most powerful witch she knows second to eda
Blighty
also rip to the fan theories about how we would find out about amity's eclipse pendant in the episode about eclipse lake
Kyo
yeah poor girl needs more screentime
Kyo
some insight in general about why she's so powerful??
A Grinning DM
Kyo : yeah, I thought Willow's OP plant magic would've come up by now
A Grinning DM
maybe it'll come up after the hiatus, since Belos's "curse" seems to also be plant-based?
