[@Wutzup991]

Theory: Going off of the parallel situation between Luz, Eda, King to GG, Belos, and Kikimora, I think that Belos purposefully tried to absorb (poses?) the power of the titan in parallel to how Eda had no choice in getting her curse. So just like Eda struggles with controlling the owl beast, Belos struggles with controlling the titan

[@alistairmooncrest5018]

Glad we weren't too far off from Belos and GG being "family/family-esque." GG obvs has a human ancestor, but not too sure if BELOS is that ancestor and is PW yet. No other option really, and with how much is left of the show, it seems obvs. But eh, I feel Belos is just A human that got corrupted, but not PW. I feel it's one or the other, but not both. Either they are blood relatives, or Belos is PW, who got too carried away with evaluating the demon realm. I doubt PW was the ONLY human, and is just the only RECORDED human.

[@goingghost8297]

@@DonaldWWitt what if Phillip became grom in a quest for a way home or for magic

[@DonaldWWitt]

@@goingghost8297 I doubt Philip is either Grom or Belos, Belos in particular only started operating in the open around the time Eda was born, a bit late if he had still been in the Demon Realm for 350 years already. If Belos was Philip, it also doesn't make sense that he'd need the original Portal Door if he created it in the first place. My hypotheses is that Philip ended up stranded back on Earth without access to the Portal, possibly due to simply forgetting the Summoning Key inside of it. There also might have been some turmoil that forced Philip to flee so suddenly, hence leaving behind the Portal Door and whoever he started a lineage of Half-Witches with as well resulting in the ruins of his Demon Realm home at the Clawthorne estate, but that's still up in the air. In any event, Philip's Half-witch descendance believed him lost forever, the Door lost or destroyed, and left with no ability to naturally cast magic themselves. Due to this lack of innate Magic and/or their affiliation with the Human, the Half-witch Wittebanes found themselves outcast on the Boiling Isles, marginalized for their lack of Power and/or mixed heritage. Eventually however, one of Philip's Great Grandchildren, intrigued with the stories of an ancestor from another world and it's fantastic Technology, would reconstruct his work and create "Artificial Magic" before discovering how Philip found himself on the Boiling Isles in the first place. This Witch, who we shall dub "Azura" for now, also had a sibling who was much more embittered at the families treatment by the rest of Demon World civilization, and used his sister's Magi-tech as well as his own experimentation to take control of the Boiling Isles as it's self proclaimed Emperor, Belos. Fearing what her brother might do if he were to discover the means of traveling between realms, "Azura" fled to the Human World, seeking any of Philip's surviving family on that side, hoping to find help to dethrone her Brother... Which is when she discovered the Wittebane descendant Noceda's... And wouldn't you know it, the young Noceda girl (Lus was her name?) is a fan of those stories she's been selling to make a living!

[@robertdochter277]

For any fans of Stephen King's Dark Tower saga. The parallel of the students and their bile sacks being used to bring on the "Day of Unity" is very similar for how The Crimson King uses the breakers to destroy the Dark Tower. SPOILER for the DT series! Breakers are children who are gifted with powerful psychic energy. Similar to the shine that Danny Torrance has in the Shining. The main villain of the story finds out that torturing and even murdering these children will release this energy, which will in turn create shock waves that will break the tower, which will destroy everything in existence.

[@calderchen2201]

Personally, I see a lot of implications that Belos doesn't particularly care for Hunter, or if there was any form of love it's been deeply buried within the man's own mounting amount of problems, and thus prioritizing himself over Hunter. This is me likely reading too far into this, but I feel as though I can draw a few connections from Belos' interactions with his curse to things such as substance abuse- the way he allows himself to become violent in front of what should be a dependent (Hunter may be a soldier but he is 16 and allegedly Belos' nephew) being one such example of this (i.e the loss of inhibitions). Also, Hunter's reaction to being struck towards the end of the episode (barely flinching, immediately apologizing as if aware of what Belos wants to hear) makes it seem as though this is not his first time experiencing what could be a physical blow from his uncle. I am not convinced that was an isolated experience. And we haven't even breached the mass amounts of emotional manipulation that Belos has targeted towards Hunter. Quite frankly I think we're giving the Emperor a little too much credit in regards to his interactions with Hunter.

[@nerdycurls6253]

I completely agree I don't understand why anyone thinks Belos cares for Hunter. Hunter is clearly being abused and emotionally manipulating him. That last scene was clearly meant to show this, those scares are most likely from Belos.

[@calderchen2201]

@@nerdycurls6253 I wrote an entire reply but it got yeeted rip. Anyways, yes agreed! What should be noted however is the way in which people are interpreting the story, and from whose eyes we are seeing this. For instance, we are experiencing the narrative through the eyes of an unreliable narrator (Hunter) who himself is blind to the implications of Belos' actions, likely through isolation and manipulation. With Hunter's care for Belos clouding his judgment, he is making excuses that some of the viewers are likely picking up and is also affecting their interpretations of both the narrative and Belos' and Hunter's relationship. Which is some incredible writing on The Owl House' part!

I saw people discussing what Luz's palisman will be, a lot of them theorized that it will be and owl just like Eda's but I don't think that makes much sense. Owls are Eda's motif just like ravens are for Lilith, I think Luz's palisman will be a cat since she has been associated with cats more than once in the show

[@bobbyburgess758]

Are we not gonna talk about the Palisman that's basically a goose meme?

[@EnaYT2]

_shut_

[@Shannessa]

11:35 Me when I first saw that scene: “WAKE UP LIEUTENANT”

[@tajklair]

Gus has a chameleon since he knows illusion magic. Coincidence i think not!!

[@thesandwich5321]

That woodpecker palisman and Hunter really reminded me of a character from the series Three Dark Crowns, where the temple priestesses (basically the Emperor's Coven in terms of power) aren't allowed to use magic, but one of their members, a naturalist with a sparrow familiar, keeps her anyway in spite of knowing that the other priestess would kill the sparrow on sight if they ever found out because their bond is so strong.

[@dutchstewart9462]

I don't think that Eda's curse is actually a curse I suspect it may be part of a forgotten ritual one at where somebody faces off against a corrupted form of their own spirit animal

[@Wolffang1996Hyano]

I can see Hunter & Luz being Frenemies to where when Hunter sees her & Amity together he starts teasing Luz about having a girlfriend/crush

[@demonicbear3442]

Fun fact: the kiss slap was always planned until the pilot

[@pwojo9776]

My thought process when watching this episode: - UNCLE?!? - HE'S HOT?!? BUMP IS HOT?!?!?!? - CONNECTICUT?!?!? LIKE CLARK?!?!?!?!?!? I LIVE THERE!!!!!!! - Oh, Kiki's got little tusks, that's cute - SO WAS NOBODY GOING TO TELL ME THAT DANA TERRACE WAS FROM CONNECTICUT OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO LEARN THAT ON TWITTER MYSELF?!?!?!?!? - Oh, look. One of the Palismans is a reference to the Goose from Untitled Goose Game. Also, Viney's is a Manticore, a hybrid mythical creature called a chimera; part-lion, part scorpion, often depicted with a human face, and sometimes has bat-wings. - me realizing Connecticut has a very rich colonial history including witch trials, as well as a mountain known as "Sleeping Giant" - Then I just started picturing the dumbest shit of Luz bringing her new friends to the human world. Going to a Sound Tigers game and going absolutely ape-shit (I've been to a couple Sound Tigers games, I don't follow hockey, I am not a sports guy, it's just something about the inherent violence that gets to you), going for lunch at a Duchess, going to a YMCA (we have a lot of those here), walking through a Stop and Shop or Big Y (we also have a lot of those here), going to Maritime Aquarium and see an Imax movie, going to Beardsley Zoo and riding the carousal, etc. It's all inherently mundane shit but to me at least very familiar and homey. We also have a lot of hospitals, doctor's offices, and rehab/physical therapy centers.

[@who_broke_this_vase]

I would just like to point out t&e fact that dana said that birds are like a clawthorn thing in her AMA soooo...

[@FBIandre123]

12:01 SHELLDER!!!

[@VA_Edits.22]

i just relised belos is like hawk moth/gabriel and hunter is like cat noir/adrien

[@tkiesailastname]

Finally seeing more of Hunter makes me realize why he is the creator's favorite character>w

[@emma_nutella58]

What if Belos was the one to wipe out Hunter’s family because of his curse which was caused by wild magic?

[@margie2092]

I didn’t think I could love this show anymore than I do but this episode just blew me away. I was conflicted about the GG earlier being referred to as a teen prodigy and then to discover he has no natural magic

[@dylangarcia3898]

I think hunter is a clawthorne given how his personality is like Eda and Lilith merged together ,and he has a bird palisman which is very suspicious

[@tareag993]

Also belos and Hunter have masks that look like birds

[@mubassirzaman7202]

@@tareag993 Hunter, having an owl mask. That is really coincidental, especially with Hunter sacrificing an owl palisman to Belos before. Idk, it feels like smthn

[@fatdogz5777]

With his mask he feels like he can be more funny and showman like. Withought it he feels vulnerable, a with with no powers, no future, no parents or family besides bellow, no choice in his life because if he doesn’t do what bellow says he will have *nothing*, he has no idea what is happening his life is being decided for him and he doesn’t know why he is doing what he does, and in general weak and young and must demand respect from people by being harder. In the mask people respect him, he is feared, he is has a high rank in the boiling isles, his image is posted all around the island, he can be who ever he wants to be, his true self, that is why he can be goofy, funny, and more animated. Luz is the first person to respect/care/ is intrigued by hunter and not the gilden guard. In that scene where she said “your just the *golden guard*” it hit him and made him change his mind because for the first time someone likes him more not as the guard and and liked him more withought it. That is why he sided with luz and possibly what the cardinal saw in him
