I don't know if you understood the owl beast part, just in case, this is what everyone interpreted from that: The owl beast wasn't a curse. It used to be a creature completely independent, until SoMeOnE hunted it down and transformed it into a curse. Therefore, Eda is not the only one suffering, the owl beast doesn't want to be a part of Eda either.

These aren't spoilers, just a couple things to note in Eda's dream: - The last part where she's the Owl Beast is actually the Owl Beast's memory, not hers. - Notice how the Titan skull in the background is different from the Boiling Isles Titan. It's been stated that all landmasses in the Demon Realm are Titan corpses, but the Boiling Isles is the only fully intact one. - According to the episode's end credits, that moon person is called "The Collector". There were a ton of theories about who and/or what they were and why they turned the Owl Beast into a scroll. - Debate also abounded about whether or not it really was mere happenstance that Lilith _just happened_ to end up with that very scroll when she wanted to curse Eda.

Shouldn't they get them only partway through school, not right before the end? And for anyone entering the emperor's coven, they had no time at all with their palismen before they were handed over to Belos. That would still be devastating, but not nearly as much as if they'd grown up with them, which would make more sense anyway. It's fairly minor of a timeline confusion but still it's weird to me.

@@soluna4784 you know, I’m really not sure 🤔 I was certain it was in one of the later episodes of season 2 where Eda might’ve mentioned it to Luz, but maybe it was something Dana revealed as canon outside of the show itself? Like in one of her livestreams or something But to answer one of your questions, I checked in season 1 episode 19 and neither Lilith or Eda had staffs in the coven tryout where Eda forfeited. They just used their own raw magic. So I think Eda did carve Owlbert after that. Idk why it was later though, that was probably something they did in the past and they just recently changed the curriculum or something.

Fandom Lore Time: A Reddit user posted the SEA version (South East Asia dub/cut [commonly referred to as the "Taiwan version", as the Reddit user posted the version that they saw in Taiwan, but it applied to the entire SEA region]) of Amity kissing Luz in "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", and they were heavily cut, removing the kiss entirely, and making it seem like Amity was embarrassed for no reason, and leaves as the episode abruptly ends. Later, they posted the SEA version of Amity asking Luz out, and because it was a much more important moment to the story, they had to mistranslate it, rather than cut it entirely. Instead of saying "Do you want to go out with me?" SEA Amity ends up saying "Do you want to dress up and travel with me?", a phrase that has become a meme in the community because of its utter absurdity. Several jokes have also been made about this particular phrase, mainly the fact that "dressing up and traveling" sounds exactly like something that someone would do immediately after leaving their closet.

In light of the events of this episode, the only possible conclusion to make is that King is, in fact, not a demon, but is instead a Pokémon. Hooty did have "Pocket Monster" marked as "?" on his chart, after all. King says "Weh" all the time, so that's probably part of the name of his species... He even learned Hyper Voice! With how strong it is, he's probably a Normal-type, too... It all makes so much more sense now!

[@jakeroo123]

Codes: "Seething seas and puppet strings. He no longer" "SEEK THE K" King's voice powers are actually portrayed near-identical to how Hyper Voice is in Pokémon The Series, apart from the unique gold-yellow-blue color scheme King's powers have. So, that's what I went with! Yeah, that was an episode! Somehow we've got more world building that just leads to more questions about King, development for Eda, new powers for both of them, and the whole thing with Luz and Amity, and somehow it's all in a 22 minute episode. And I think we can safely conclude that Hooty is, in fact, the most powerful demon living in the Owl House. Seriously, how did he make that tunnel of love...?

The first "Tunnel of Love" ride was in _Canals of Venice_ in London, but to really took off in the US which had a lot more amusement parks. Being a slow, dark, enclosed 6+ minute boat ride, it allowed unmarried couples a little more privacy than would have been acceptable at the time (and apparently couples learned they could extend the ride by grabbing an edge at various points). Some parks embraced the scandalous use, others put staff with plastic bats in the shadows with orders to smack any bare posterior that floated by. They quickly disappeared after the 1950s, as cultural attitudes towards pre-marital intimacy became more relaxed, and there are now less than 10 in operation.

[@shaunbrowne9870]

We're not trolling, we're just sharing the fandom memes with you. S2E8 being "just a filler episode" comes from various reactions to it, namely the "I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A FILLER EPISODE!!!" type and people pretending it WAS a fun little breather episode in the middle of all the drama. "Steve (the random guard helping Lilith find the bloom of eternal youth in that one episode) is the best/most important/secretly the main character" is rather self-explanatory. "Oh Crikey"--which I'm sure you got a lot of streaming this episode--comes from a fan edit where that's Steve Irwin's response to the final scene from Through the Looking Glass Ruins.

Tunnels of love are *technically* a thing in America, but they're mostly outdated. They used to be more common, but people kept doing... inappropriate things on them, so they had to hire random teenagers to sit in the corners with flashlights to make sure that nothing was going on on the boats. After that, the main appeal of being alone with a lover in the dark was kinda taken away, and they fell out of fashion.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

As was pointed out, horny couples would eventually start having intercourse on the lazy boat ride, which actively constitutes public nudity/indecent exposure, which is, obviously, very illegal at most family-oriented theme parks. This thereby provides a tangible excuse as to why the rides had to eventually be regulated & monitored. Yet, having someone in the corner of your boat watching you to keep you from going too far would, naturally, ruin the entire mood for any aspiring couple, since the whole idea was to be able to make out privately on the ride without getting caught. I mean, the tunnels of love were made specifically for couples to basically make out on, so directly hiring people to keep the ride chaste & pure outright undermines the entire basis for such rides even existing in the first place. Kind of like the stupidity of police arresting people for getting off inside of a porno theater (what happened to Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens in 1991).

Tunnels of love were a carnival ride back in the 50’s/60’s in the US. They fell out of popularity but the idea of them remains as part of popular culture. They were real.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

It's not that they fell out of popularity, it's more over that standards changed. I mean, lazy boat rides entering darkened tunnels weren't originally devised for couples to make out on, but once couples started doing that almost immediately, that's where the tunnel of love terminology originates. However, as people became more promiscuous, horny couples would start having intercourse on the ride, which would constitute public nudity & breaking the law of indecent exposure, which explains why those running the rides felt they had to be eventually regulated & monitored by outside parties. However, unless you are an exhibitionist and/or voyeourist, having someone in the corner actively watching you to make sure you don't go too far publicly & to ensure you maintain the wholesome chasisty of the ride ultimately ruins the whole idea of making out on the ride in the first place, which is what led to their decline & falling out of favor.

I actually think that Hooty’s way over the top response at the end of the tunnel of love was probably the only thing that could’ve salvaged the night.

[@christietaylor3599]

Ok now I can finally share an idea about Amity. She is not only a romantic but her love language is physical touch. In the memory episode the picture Amity initiates the hug, however, after that day she chooses to not show her positive feelings towards people she cares about to protect them. ie Willow. So she does become touch deprived, but her siblings are exempt from that because they live with her, so physical touch and annoyance. Along comes Luz who does not behave in ways she can predict and acts in ways she secretly wishes she could, AND is a very touchy person too. Willow on the other hand is more of a person who values time spent together, and thus adjusts her expressive methods to match what others need or are used to.

Although they did get closer in the Library and Memory episodes while they fixed things together. I grew up with brothers and guy friends, because I found the bitchiness annoying. So didn't feel comfortable with physical affection until I met friends who were very physically affectionate peeps. So I feel some of these love languages can be learned too.

Mosco- Tsundere is the word for that type of character like Amity. One that starts out hard and gradually reveals a softer side especially to the people they like 20:05

“Are Tunnels of Love a real thing in America?” Yes and no. Some amusement parks have them as as advertised but really any boat ride that includes a dark tunnel are sometimes used by couples as a tunnel of love as in… fun things to do in the dark. They install cameras and plant ride attendants to prevent that. I should clarify the official ones are well lit and just kissing, cuddling, hand holding.

Amity: **pops out** Mosco: I'm not ready... Me: You are not prepared!

[@TheRhuen]

The Tunnel of Love is an old attraction for carnivals and such, you don't see them as commonly anymore; and I think originally they were just some slow boat ride through some random themed stuff like a history of the area tour or something but as they became popular for making out or even older couples just relaxing together for a short boat ride they combined it with the much older romantic boat ride image *the whole take a rowboat out into a pond where the man and woman can be alone together to serenade*, so the boat rides started to have the hearts and cupids and such. It is a common trope in cartoons and shows, not sure how common it is anymore though.

[@day_thewoodelf]

I love 16:54 because it's the moment we all collectively said "I'm not a furry, but", and of course Mosco was not different.

I love all of the awkward hand movements, especially from Amity! I feel very represented. Also there’s this really cute moment right before they hold hands, where Amity is rubbing the back of her hand with her thumb, and that’s probably why Luz rubbed her hand!

[@LunarYoo]

Gosh I was excited for this episode reaction and it did not disappoint! I loved seeing you freak out over the adorable lumity moments! But this episode is also around the time they found out season 3 was shortened, so the large amount of lore drop could be due to that if I'm remembering correctly anyway. Fun Facts: Amity had been wanting to confront Luz about the kiss but always chickened out in the end, confirmed in a crossover reading with Amphibia. There's a lot of neat extra tidbits the crew members drop during hiatuses and it was great, so I can share what was revealed between episodes if you want. There's even some deleted scenes in certain episodes

[@zoeholmes4939]

The code word for this episode is 'Longer', leaving the message at 'Seething Seas and Puppet Strings, He No Longer-' Also welcome aboard the Lumity is canon train!!!!!!! A little thing to note, the spells that caught the owl beast were the same colors of the popper that Eda's dad set off, which makes sense why it triggered it. And the titan skull in the background was a different one than the Isles. Also I LOVE that everyone's reaction to Harpy Eda is 'I'm not a furry, BUT' 'Eda has two hands' lmaoooo almost spat out my drink.

[@ember-fire7583]

Everyone in the Fandom and outside of it thought this was just gonna be another Hooty episode or filler when it first released, but man were we so, so wrong and in the best ways possible!! Each storyline with Eda, King and Luz was done so well and truly showed that even "filler" episodes could be great and memorable ones!! This was the episode for sure I think that Lumity started to take off more and grow in magical and mostly healthy ways! Who knew Hooty could be so helpful, but it's also good that he's never allowed to do that again! What we found out about the portal was interesting, but amongst all the cuteness a much bigger and darker plot is slowly unfolding. Be warned, It. Will. Shock. You!!

To quote a leasbian reactor, "I went from loving Hooty with everything I had to wanting to slap him within 5 seconds."

[@MWSin1]

Even in the US, tunnel of love rides are far more common as a comedy bit than as actual things people interact with regularly. They were more common back when public displays of affection (especially between unmarried couples) were socially unacceptable.

[@levangiorgadze5842]

29:45 they're gonna dress up and travel together.

[@zxcxdr1]

The entire episode was massive progress for Hooty, to the point most everyone could say "I at least tolerate, if not actually like, him." and then...The ending.

[@FlybyStardancer]

Yay! We're at the Hooty episode! :D And as much as I know that your reactions to the Eda and Luz sections will be AMAZING... I'm also excited to see your brain chew on the demonology in King's section. What did you take away from that, hmm? :D Once you're caught up on the episodes, Dana did a charity livestream where there were three audio-only segments played, one of which was Lilith's reply letter to the one Hooty wrote in this episode. It's great. :D (So are the two other segments, one from Luz and one from Hunter.)

[@Oiyuki]

About the tunnel of love, they’re sort of real. They were theme park attractions, where you basically just ride a paddle boat through a themed tunnel. It was a popular date night kind of thing for a while, and teenagers would use them to sort of have an excuse to make out and spend some alone time with their partners. Which ended up being a pretty good marketing tactics for the parks. They sort of died out overtime and now they’re kind of a rare site, but they’re pretty well cemented into our cultural memory.

[@JNDReacts]

Ok so a few things about the scene with the owl beast in Eda’s dream: first of all, if you look at the background you’ll notice a giant skull in the sea, but it doesn’t resemble our titan. Second, the credits for this episode have a new voice actor for a new character listed, “The Collector.” We all assumed that was the mysterious figure with the moon and stars robe. Also that crescent moon inside the hood strongly resembled Amity’s new necklace, not sure if that’s relevant. And third, that final memory was actually the owl beast’s memory, seemingly of getting captured by that collector person, and somehow getting transformed into a curse. Then the scroll washed up on the shore of the Boiling Isles and was picked up, made it’s way to the night market where Lilith bought it.

[@ztyran]

23:11 Yes in America there are Tunnel of Love rides. They are subgroup under Old Mill rides.

[@gatokawaii3996]

15:28 What many did not get about this (except you) is that the owl beast was captured many years ago and seal in that paper. Then the sister found the paper and gave the curse to Eda

[@Robins_tea]

Omg I'm so excited for this one!!

[@mitchelvanwijk]

29:59 That's the same reaction Luz had lol

[@G3nb0o_]

this episode, THIS EPISODE. One of the most perfectly compacted episodes with three story lines and it still doesn't feel "too crouded" It's one of my favourite episodes and I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did on first watch "Oh Crikey"🤭🤭

[@fenarinarsa]

It's so good to have a series where the main characters dating is not the endgame but a part of the story. Also Luz and Amity's story is better written than most fictional straight couples'.

[@trolleyfan]

That last part of Eda's dream is actually the *Owl Beast's* memory, not hers, as it was captured and turned into the curse (the scroll the beach-comber finds is the same one Lilith got at the Night Market). "Tunnel's of Love" were a thing in the US...and still are in five locations: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Mill_(ride) But yeah, they are more a meme than a ride most people have been on these days...though there are theme park rides that kinda evolved from them. Hooty was *so* close to being useful this episode...then he just had to mess it all up at the end.

[@SteveMND]

He wouldn't be our Hooty if he didn't mess things up SOMEHOW!

[@Flufux]

Well, he did just say that he promised not to help anyone ever again, so...

[@AxiMod]

30:27 THE BACKGROUND LOOKS LIK A BI FLAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wynnexed]

the fact that all of this episode's plot lines occured simultaneously implies that hooty was in multiple places at once, which is creepy

[@Brasswatchman]

Which in turn suggests that he can be omnipresent through the entire house if he wants to. Brrrr.
