I can’t WAIT to see these little skrunglies again ✨🌙✨

FOR THE FUTURE TRAILER SPOILERS!!!!

idk how big the gap has to be for it to say keep reading or whatever so just scroll rly far yk

im just gonna list everything i see and think

thats all ive got for now 🤭🤭

You don’t need a certain amount of text to make a keep reading link, It’s just to the side along with the link to insert photos

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE

Now pass the phone to me.

GUYS.

There is no way these parallels are a coincidence.

I am 99% sure that Dana Terrace was referencing Kirby when making the Collector. For context, I've not seen For the Future yet, so please no spoilers beyond the trailer. I haven't seen anything other than Luz's palisman, that one thirty second clip from the owl club, and an irrelevant screenshot of Hunter.

Also plz don't spoil FTF in the comments or reblogs :(

That said,

TW: Discussion of Cults

Canonically,

Kirby:

The Collector:

Still not convinced? Well I believe there was a specific game Dana was referencing: (MAJOR KIRBY SPOILERS AHEAD)

In Kirby star Allies, Kirby gains the ability to turn enemies into friends by launching friend hearts on them.

It’s an ability unlocked by a botched resurrection/rebirth of a dead god accidentally granting Kirby that ability.

No seriously, that's how it happens.

Here's a short summary for those not familiar with the Kirby franchise.

Basically, cult leader Lord Hyness and his closest followers once managed to stop an out-of-control being named Galacta Knight (shown below)

However, the people eventually began to fear LH and his ilk, so they preemptively tried to seal them away and erase their existence from history (rude). LH and his people survived and managed to obtain a vessel containing their Dark Lord (basically, an egg that housed a god or godlike being) Cult leader Lord Hyness then attempted to resurrect the god Void Termina.

But the ceremony went horrible wrong, shattering the vessel into friend hearts and dark hearts that were scattered to the stars. One such friend heart landed on Kirby, granting him the ability to quote-un-quote, "befriend" his enemies...

...

... by which I mean brainwash smaller enemies into doing his biddies while exorcising dark-heart-possessed individuals by beating the shit out of them until they were no longer usable vessels for possession. I'm not even kidding, this is actually canon.

Eventually, Kirby, with his amassed allies, confronts Belos, Hyness, who has this to say:

And when cornered, he drains the life source of his closest followers, his priestesses, and uses them as fucking battering rams.

Oh and btw they're all conscious when this happens. If you listen closely, you can actually hear their grunts of pain when they hit the ground.

When that fails, he forces the god-resurrection to fruition by tossing in the priestesses' bodies and his own into the alter, bringing foooooRTH!!!

VOID TERMINA.

A morally neutral being who also uses the same tactics as Kirby to defeat his enemies (except somehow Void doing it makes it evil or something *shrug*). Oh, and Void's implied to be born from the same material as Kirby (or vice versa).

Upon Void's defeat, it's said he may be reborn in another form and perhaps someday... a friend.

AND THEN THERE'S THE OWL HOUSE

In which The Collector, a god or godlike being, was sealed away by a Titan (probably because of their destructive, reckless nature - idk for sure I haven't seen the episode). As an act of revenge, the Collector made a deal with the inhabitants of the titan trapper witches: he would grant them (or more specifically Bill - not GF Bill btw) power in exchange for slaughtering the Titans. The blood of the last Titan (King) would then be used to revive The Collector from his prison.

Then along comes a scrunkly dunkly old human who winds up trapped on the Boiling Isles, a realm populated by witches and demons living atop a carcus. Convinced of the inherently evil nature of the inhabitants, he deceives them into aiding him in their own execution.

In order to pull this off, he enlists the help of The Collector. In exchange for promising to release them, The Collector teaches Belos magic "stronger than anybody's." That is, the Draining Spell.

Belos then professes himself to be able to commune with the dead Titan (the Boiling Isles itself) and thus convinces them to brand themselves with the sigils that would serve as their metaphorical nooses.

The draining spell works, but Belos breaks his promise by using up the last of the Titan's Blood to (attempt to) travel home, only to thwarted by Luz, who traps him in the draining spell.

Meanwhile, King makes a deal with the now-betrayed Collector: stop the draining spell in exchange for their freedom and a game of "Owl House." The Collector agrees, and King follows through on his promise. Well, part of it anyway. He frees the Collector, they stop the spell, but he attempts to escape with Luz to the human realm. The Collector stops this; Luz, her friends, and unfortunately Belos manage to escape to the human realm.

There, Belos goes around possessing and consuming various woodland creatures until he has enough sustenance to possess Hunter, one of his former second-in-commands.

This ultimately fails, which leads to him fleeing back to the Boiling Isles, where For the Future begins.

NOW LET'S TALLY UP OUR PARALLELS

WE GOT:

Horrifically misguided religious leader? Check.

Masked at some point? Yep.

Drains their closest followers and uses their bodies for their own gain? Yep.

Particularly brutally betrays their second in command?

OH YEAH.

Winds up sucked into that very spell themselves? Sorta.

Hyness intentionally sacrifices himself to the spell in order to resurrect Void Termina, whereas Belos is tricked by Luz into getting drained by the spell.

Not to mention we got the fuckin uhhhhh GODLIKE BEING WHO MIND CONTROLS FORCIBLY BEFRIENDS PEOPLE

This could be Void or Kirby paralleling the Collector depending on how you read it. However, Void and Kirby are definitely two sides of the same coin, and if my interpretation is correct, I believe The Collector is meant to be a parallel of BOTH. Neither good nor evil: simply raw power put in the hands of a child too young to comprehend or manage it.

-

Now I'll admit, TOH doesn't follow the KSA story tit for tat. I believe that Titan-trappers take the role of the people who sealed away the eldritch power. The placement of Galacta Knight vs the Titan as who fits in what role is harder determine.

Despite this, there are definitely some pretty solid inspirations.

The aesthetic of FTF very clearly draws inspiration from KSA. Hell, KSA was originally released in 2018, around the time Dana was developing the series. It's very likely she drew inspiration from this video game, if not played it herself. There are simply too many parallels to count.

The besties

The last ten minutes of the Owl House are actually Raine and Eda getting married outside the Owl House. Darius is the officiant and the wedding planner and when he was asked he pretended not to care but he 100% tailor made Raine’s suit. Willow did the flowers, Amity helped Eda get ready, Owlbert was the ring bearer. They made Luz sit out so she could recover from the final battle but she’s sitting in the front row, smiling, with King. Both Eda and Raine look amazing, they walk up the aisle to Raine’s Rhapsody performed by Katya, Derwin, and Amber. When Darius says they can kiss, Eda dips Raine and then carries them away. Hunter thinks he shouldn’t be invited to the wedding because he doesn’t know Eda very well but they make him sit at the family table at the reception and he cries. Lilith is the maid of honor and halfway through the reception she falls asleep because she’s so tired. Gus and Perry DJ for the reception and announce Eda and Raine together. At the end of the night, Raine and Eda sit together and look up at the stars from the roof of the Owl House. Of course then we cut to Luz doing the final outro of the show. 

Anyways 10/10 loved that ending.

One more week until “For the Future” premiers

Watch it.

If you have cable, watch it.

If you don’t have cable, wait until it’s on Disney+ and watch it.

If you don’t have Disney+, wait and see if it’ll be on Disney Channel’s OFFICIAL YouTube channel and watch it.

If it’s locked to a region of the world that isn’t your own, get Nord VPN. I hear it allows you to switch your browsing to other regions in the world all while keeping you safe.

If you can’t afford a VPN…you probably should get one anyway. Seriously, without one, it makes browsing the internet similar to riding a car without a seat belt. Sure, you’ll PROBABLY be fine, but it’s a LOT safer if you have it.

Point is, when “For the Future” is ready and available to LEGALLY watch it, you watch it.

Remember when “Thanks to Them” got two million views in the twenty-four hours when Disney put it up on YouTube? Seeing that reaction is what made them realize, “Oh, wow. People actually do love this show. Maybe there IS a point to giving it a spin off or a comic or something. Or, heck, maybe a revival like what we’re doing with Phineas and Ferb…apparently.”

NUMBERS. MATTER.

Getting a show trending on Twitter doesn’t mean crap. Velma was trending on it’s premier day, and it was nothing more than people coming together just to TRASH it. And reasonably so. It’s..not great.

For Disney, they don’t care about things trending because it could mean anything. They care about NUMBERS.

And, yes, I know we hate Disney. We hate giving them our money.

But if you actually do care about The Owl House, if you want to prove to Disney that they were unfair for giving it the short end of the stick, then, like it or not, you’re going to have to give Disney your money.

So, when “For the Future” premiers, you’re going to watch it. And you’re going to watch it LEGALLY.

About Noelle's mysterious egg...

It's kind of interesting she got the special egg after throwing away so many to get the "perfect character".

(and that all this egg-resetting caused problems she'll "explain another time")

And a little more interesting that the only way to get the egg to leave the nest was not to reset or delete it...

But to be kind to it.

...I wonder what its name was.

What if the reason Noelle can't remember the egg's name is because it's one of the two names we choose at the start?

The vessel or our "own" name.

If that's the case, I wonder what "leaving home due to happiness" might mean for it...

I'm a history buff and this last line is what one of my favorite professors says all the time. I REALLY love this clip.

My friend takes this one step further and refers completely accurately to his girlfriend Danielle as "My partner, Dan"

Also i hate to say it but for some people, boyfriend/girlfriend feels a bit juvenile, say, if youre over 30, or perhaps youve been with someone for a very long time and are committed life partners but not married for whatever reason. Maybe husband/wife feels a little watered down to you and you want to establish the equal nature of your relationship.

Partner is a wonderful word and it should be normalized.

i also like the air of mystery it lends.

“this is my partner.”

in what? romance? business? art? rock-climbing? crime? all at once? who knows! gotta keep people guessing.

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Did you seriously make an entire blog just for this post???

6 (accidentslly reblogged this to my main but oh well)

7 (by the way y’all can join and count with me too if ya want)

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

Well, OP, I’m officially invested in this shit. Your whiny ass is doing self care if I have to drive to your goddamn house and do it for you.

By Talos this can't be happening

reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.

why? because it’s funny and completely possible actually so good fucking luck op

I figured out roughly how many notes it's been getting per day and multiplied that by the number of days left until the end of 2023

If we keep it going at this rate we'll be far past 666k

IMPORTANT

Okay so clearly I've underestimated y'all

I will practise self care if this post reaches 666k BY THE END OF 2022

Op you have fuckethed with the devil this post has gained 30,000 notes since I reblogged it last night

Reblog to throw a hedge apple in OP's driveway

What the fuck is this eldritch fruit? I'm in.

It's Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the osage orange or hedge apple. It is known to be native only to a small area of Texas and the edge of Oklahoma and Arkansas. Before the invention of barbed wire, it was pruned repeatedly and shaped to make dense impenetrable hedges to contain animals.

The fruits are inedible—not poison, they're just hard and taste bad.

The wood is super-strong, burns hotter than any other wood, and is ideal for making bows!

We should just fill this post with other interesting things as reasons to reblog it

Actually I like this idea, we should do that. Here's my fun fact contribution; actual old English, what one could call Anglo-Saxon (as opposed to, for example, Shakespearean English, which a lot of people call old English but is actually antiquated modern English), is a Germanic language, and modern English shares a lot of roots with German because of that. It was also, at one point, written with runes.

The hagfish is a deep-sea fish speculated to be related to lamprey. It exudes a strange goo that is believed to be used to clog the gills of attackers. This goo has been found to be a very good substitute for egg whites in cooking.

HAGFISH SLIME EGG WHITE SUBSTITUTE???

Saponify is a word which means to Turn into Soap

Which is great cuz it means you can threaten to saponify someone and it will both confuse and frighten them!
