- Few things:
1. Thanks everybody for 4K subscribers and thanks for watching my Moon Butterfly review.
2. I think I might've said Eda's name as Edith a couple of times. My bad!
3. Sorry about the audio after the "I've never had a dream this pretty." It was a last minute add with Voice Memos!

Personally loved how "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" tackled alternative medicine and how people tend to go to these unconventional treatments over medical experts. But it doesn't paint Gwendolyn as being bad, but misguided. She loves her children but doesn't immediately realize she's going about the curse in the wrong way.
But she also has a point that the elixirs won't be effective for much too long which goes into how treating the curse as apart of yourself weakens it.
Really, many families would turn a blind eye to their loved ones' suffering from mental illnesses or disorders which resorts to them resorting to more drastic measures.
I am going to love voicing my thoughts on how the episode handles alternate medicine scams.
I really love how Eda’s curse is handled both from a story standpoint and a character one. It’s a great story element that adds a lot of tension when the situation calls for it and adds depth to Eda while strengthening her relationship with everyone. It tells a great story about how having an illness doesn’t define you and it’s possible to manage it. Especially with how Eda learns to come to terms with it and works together with the Owlbeast despite all the grief and hard life it’s caused her. This shows just incredible at outstanding writing and Eda’s no exception.
I think Eda’s rapid aging is a result of her being merged with the Owl Beast. I think Owl Beasts have a shorter life span than witches. So Eda has a witch body with a reduced life span.
A quick Google search says that owls have been known to live up to 25 years, but that's more of an upper limit than an average. Assuming a lifespan of 100 for a witch (on another assumption that the average witch is comparable to the average human), this would average out to a little over 62 years. Dana Terrace said that Eda is in her thirties, so if she's 31, then going by halves, that's the equivalent of 50 for a human or uncursed witch (the age I thought Eda was around before Lilith's introduction).
TL;DR: Eda might only live to be 62 based on some dubious math
@@amethyst_cat9532 hopefully, owl beasts are only like owls in appearance, and have a longer life span than Earth Owls.
That is depressing and impressive for Disney. Reminds me of the days when villains always died!
@@amethyst_cat9532 that is amazing! Granted parrots are more impressive living 50+ years
@@amethyst_cat9532 I thought Eda and Lilith were in their 40s or 50s
unpopular opinion but i think Eda surviving being chopped off as a result of the curse is the Owl beast's way to protect itself , in case the cursed tries to end the curse by killing him/herself by chopping the head
so it's kind of like how some lizards can have their tails fall off as a defense mechanism?
@@mtsimlover2 like that but instead of using the severed parts as decoy, it was detached only to be reattachable later. like how a skeleton removes his head to avoid incoming projectile aimed at where his head should be
In regards to when Eda refused to battle Lilith for the coven selection, I got the impression that she did that since she realized how important the Coven spot was for Lilith.
It makes me beyond mad that The Owl House, a show with so much undiscovered lore and potential, is getting canceled.
WHAT
Because of Amity
And luZ being a thing
Someone with chronic illness Eda is a relatable character the exhaustion the people disbelieving your the people trying these dumb medicines that don't work while good intentioned the rifts it forms the elixirs stopping working = shit medication isn't working anymore, the side effects how she deals with them etc I love it and coming to terms with the problems caused by the illness and how it affects ur relationships. Etc it's nice how they handle it
Huh, never thought of it that way, but I relate to Eda a lot now. I have ADHD. My mother didn't think much of it until much later when she actually read about it. Then she was, seemingly out of nowhere, hyper-aware about it. Everything could be explained by my ADHD and anything that supposedly alleviated it was nudged onto me. (Foods, supplements, anything.)
The whole time, I was basically just trying to tell her "I've suspected I have ADHD for the longest time. I'm used to it. I can manage it. Go back to treating me like a normal person."
I think them having to battle eachother made eda realize how wrong the coven system could be. She didn't like how she had to be cutthroat to be in the emporers coven. Then she realized she would be forced to one thing which she couldn't decide, and realized how wrong it it to have to make a choice like that. Just a guess though
For a principal Bump video, you should focus on how he care for his students. Also add his relationship with his palsiman.
I do appreciate how stories do more than try to break a curse, now they either show it to be something else (maybe not as bad as once thought) or the characters learn to work with it.
I always assumed that her inner world changed after she found out Lilith cursed her BECAUSE she found out who cursed her finally
"I don't think we'll ever see much of the Collector again."
You wanna run that by us again ?
also calling the collector a her made me unnecessary angry because the collector is one of my fav characters
edas "i have a right to be upset" line hit me different. I have a dad who always finds a way to blame me while also making me feel like i overreact. The other week I made a mistake by walking backwards to get out of his way (we were in a tight space painting a room i had no other direction to go) and i bumped his water over and made a mess. He got upset and screamed at me and ignored the fact I was crying until he realized I wouldnt stop and yelled at me to stop overreacting. It stung so i told him that i have the right to be upset, and for once that shut him up and made him ask why i was upset.
I like how this last owl-curse dream shows that the nightmares can be either of the two cursed people’s truamas
I always thought that the snake like rattle sounds u hear when u only see glimpses of Eda in her owl beast form was so creepy and built suspense well.
Oh, this was a surprise video and a pleasant one at that. For when Eda was younger I think the curse would only last a certain amount of time. But as she got older the worse could only be cursed with the elixir. As there are some diseases that worsen over time but she did have more stress as she got older. I wouldn't be surprised if the Raine scene happened around the time she started taking the elixir.
I don't have a chronic illness but my younger sister does have a birth defect. Her esophagus was not in the right place when she was born so she could not swallow food. Thankfully she is fine but she still has scars and her voice is messed up. Like Eda she embraces this and always has so seeing Eda be fine with her curse makes me happy to see.
I think how Eda was able to turn back to ‘normal’ was the owlbeast exhausted itself.
I liked how eda still has to barter with the owl beast as a way of showing she will always be in a losing battle with it
Thing is, the owl beast is also in a losing battle with her. It doesn't want to be trapped in Eda's mind and only come out when she or her emotions are unstable and she can't push it down anymore, it wants to be free too, so they're kind of in it together now. I do still agree with you in a way though
@@erinocelotl3578 yeah
I really love the that Eda’s owl beast curse is a metaphor for a disability or chronic illness. I have autism and Luz and Eda are my favorite characters of this show
Not only that, but (even though I'm a man) I love how these characters are both girls. There's a stigma where it's believed that women don't have these kinds of issues often due to them simply being able to mask it so well.
I think witches evolved from proto humans that entered the boiling isles from a natural portals that might have stopped and or are harnessed whenever they popped up, which is probably super rare.
16:19, Weirdly, it's only now when I hear it that I realize just how powerful and dramatic this scene and Lilith's dialog is, and while I do completely understand why you think this scene "didn't do her any favors", I think that quote kinda gives us an interesting and reasonable mindset Lilith had towards Luz during the first season of the show. Thinking of her as a social parasite who invaded not just Eda and her life, but also their world. Sure, Luz didn't had any bad intentions at all, but look at it from Lilith's point of view; your sister with whom you weren't on good terms for years just suddenly created a bond with a person who literally came out of nowhere, who you know noting about, with whom your aforementioned sister has no relation to, but also is the entirely different species from yours...I think it does stand to reason why Lilith was so aggressive towards Luz, at least a little bit... Sorry If this comment was too long, had to get this thought out there, while it was fresh.
I agree with you about the whole anxiety thing. I always liked seeing it as a chronic mental illness rather than physical.
Eda might have had enough control to turn back come the first time but after that lost it. I could see it working like a panic attack though, especially since she is always going through fearful or painful memories when it happens. Once she accepts it as part of her she can take steps to somewhat control it or at least make peace with it. She controls herself as a beast or harpy afterwards
Eda's curse certainly has a LOT of good parallels, and I do like just how extremely negative it is. As someone with a chronic illness, it IS good to not only come to terms, but accept it. The quality of life, and ironically, death, improves quite a bit when being content. However, it's also something I do hope gets more resolution as even with the acceptance, it's far from ideal. Eda has no magic, the owl beast is still trapped within her, and while there's control even when it flares up, it's still worth a lot of concern. I do get if it doesn't go that way though, certainly, but it does feel as complete of an arc as most real cases can be compared at present. And again, there's a lot of emphasis on it being a handicap to severe levels for multiple parties, so I personally am hoping there is a fix discovered, as most people with chronic illness wish I'd imagine. But hey, I feel wishing and accepting aren't mutually exclusive, I have my ideals, just not the type to really count on those.
26:05 wait a damn minute
Imagine seeing Lilith's own Harpy form
27:24 so for me it was a beautifully similar feeling of acceptance when I well accepted that I was autistic and I need to understand that. Although I am glad the scene helped you too
With the first time she turned into the owl beast maybe it did only last a day like Lilith thought and she turned back
People just learn about strzyga (not from witcher)! Strzyga in slavic myth was female owl-human hibrid monster, who had two souls: human and demonic. Male version calls strzygoń (goń means hunt).
Kinda sad that you had to point out that it isn't from Witcher. That it is actually part of a culture/mythology.
Like people thinking that Disney invented Cinderella, and other fairy tales.
@@Notfallkaramell Andrzej Sapkowski's strzyga is in real zmora.
I wish I saw something like this when I was younger ❤️
Ok, I hope you do A video on Hunter and his story and such. Just like How Hunter Wants to help Belos, Luz wanted to help Eda in the same way. I really wanna Here from you and especially your unpopular opinions. Give it to me and Thank you. 😁 More Parallels!!
My theory for why Eda randomly transforms back amd forth is that they are two separate enteties that 'share' a body.
When Eda is stressed the Beast comes out, and when the beast gets sleepy it goes back in. Or a more visual representation. In Eda's mindscape, she runs from the Beast, but once it cathes up, she wakes up.
Is it perfect. Nope.
3:51 Luz looks so tiny
I actually expect, for Gwendelyn to have ignored Lilith, befor she cursed Eda. Parent tend to concentrate on the youngest child...
17:44
I just noticed an error with young Eda’s eyes
(Or is it correct? Cause they look wonky)
I think that's a perspective thing not an animation error
@@solsystem1342 really? Huh, it looks really odd
yeah that's always been a huge thing with most shows. side characters always get less work then the main characters. like it always upsets me when they will make filler eps. when they could just use them fillers to fill in side characters. yeah they don't have to mean as much at the rest of the main lore of the show but giving them less impactful lore to dig into each character more. it would do some great development and flushing out of them side characters.
One of the best fictional metaphors for chronic illness, agreed?
A topic I would love to see you get cover is Mystery Behind King’s Relative.
I thought that giving her the owl beast might be getting to far from the analogy but then realized that it in fact is still problematic as she cant do magic but accepting it and reducing the stress it causes allows her not be like she was or as strong, but to find a new way to be strong. This video added that its also cool that even tho it starts at a moment it's a process
I think if the Owl Beast goes on a rampage until she was exhausted the beast shall fall asleep and the Edalyn would return to control
i always thought the bat queens master was the dead titan. it's big enough for it and its blood is magic and it died a long time ago so she could have forgotten in that time.
5:46 - 5:58 okay this is pretty darn creative, even for disney
This is literally pretty much the same thing I did with my ocs WAY before these episodes came out. Why dontcha give ME credit for it? 🤬😡 /j
To be honest Lilath's Owl Form scares me
There were other plan with the Archivist and The Collector but they only got the new s3 was shortened to three in the middle of season 2 being animated.
Well from the look of it Gwendolyn might have actually been right. You can cut out the curse but it comes at the cost of her arm. All the beast magic was being drained into the tattoo and immediately disinterested once her arm did. At the same time she stoped burning up from the curse
I have ADHD, bipolar disorder, where you mix up words,austic tendencies and mild mental slow and I can realte to elda.
Some days I feel like I have to comparise with mental iusse there is some days I have to tell my self if I do what I don't want to I will give myself a reward
Your videos on character analyzing are quite good. Here's hoping you get to the mid finale episode one day to review
ok, i didnt knew it she must had drink it daily....
Wait, how did Lilith manage to make such a strong curse, being a kid?
My guess is the curse was easier when she was younger and was beaten back by Eda alone, but as she grew older and it grew stronger the potions became the only way to turn her back.
Thank you for this video! I live with a chronic illness, and during the episode where Eda makes peace with the Owl Monster I literally cried.
wait i just realise
raven/crow and owl are know to be natural ennemies
crows/ravens bullies owl frequently
and owl kill solitary crow/raven whenever they can
so first that's cool (and probably not intentional) from the scenarists
and also that's normal the owl beast would attack it's raven form
Wasn't the boiling ocean in one of the season 2 episodes? The one where Eda robs the golden guards ship?
it looks more like that the "Dream Owl beast" chases her cause she is running away from it...
what if she stopped running and faced the beastie?
I really identify with/love Eds because I have a couple chronic illnesses and she's kinda good reo for chronic illness. It doesn't just go away in the show you see her potions/medicines around in the owl house
10:28 So, Gwyn? I have no idea who that is.
I think they were referring to Gwyneth Paltrow
As somebody with a chronic illness, I liked early Eda’s curse depiction a lot more.
I feel like she kind of just sidelined the whole point of the curse. Sure she’s on good terms with it but that’s not something that happens in real life.
There isn’t a monster to talk it over with, you’re just dragged out till you die. It’s rough, tedious, and painful.
Eda’s powered up form is cool, though I feel like it might need a drawback to still feel like a curse. Unless at some point she finds a cure and the owl beast chooses to stay.

Now if willow could screen time
I have a theory about the curse that might explain the continuity error. When Eda goes into that mindscape it either shows her a scene that haunts her or the beast is trying to tell her something. In season 1 she was reliving the moment she got cursed because she just wanted to know who did it and why and in season 2 the beast was just chasing her because current Eda knew who did it and she was worried the curse would hurt someone, and young Eda was just a scared kid who didn’t know what was going on, like the healers said, they’ve never seen a curse like hers before so they didn’t know anything about it at the moment and therefore they couldn’t do anything. I could be very wrong though and this isn’t how the curse works at all, but theses are just my thoughts.
I have horrible anxiety attacks to the point of mental breakdown so i feel you on anxiety. I hate it
The bat queen is traumatizing
Well that collector bit didn't age... well
Literally used the only pronoun they don’t use lmao
This makes the cancelation more tragic
26:19 this certainly aged
i have ocd..i can relate sooooooooooooooo much with eda... it make'z me look like a junkie too
i always thought "boiling" was a pun about the rain and about, like, boils, as in furuncles, because the isles are a rotting corpse and all (don't quite know if there's a direct relation, but yknow)
Maybe because she was stressing over who cursed her that's why she was having that dream, but since she found out lilith cursed her she didn't need to have the shadow figure dream because she knew, so now she was stressing over her control
I love everything about her harpy design, except for the part of her hair that comes out of her ears.
I actually thought Eda was in her mid to late forties, just had a really stressful life (most of my family went grey in their thirties
What if each time she gets different nightmares but thoses 2 are the most usual ones that come up.
Todd Howard like his meme back

If your looking for a bump topic, how about how he subverts teacher tropes.
Huh, completely forgot The Collector showed up there....
I just realised with gwen she was talking about Gwyn as in Gwyneth Paltrow
the collector is a he/him and they/them
Collector: Mr. is a boring pronoun.
Lilith was a baddie
the curse is all lilths fault, despite the circumstances.
Bird worm
i would like a video on the collector
The Bat Queen is the Titan’s former palisman
7:29 Ok uh…. Is that referencing what I think it is?
People are sleeping on the owl beast as a very specific metaphor for (C)-PTSD.
All the hallmarks. Anxiety. Anger. Nightmares. Flashbacks. Fractured social relationships. Managed but not cured (with medications for some symptoms, with others being a more permanent aspect of life if you can live with it relatively decently or have no choice. Like detaching limbs or aging quickly). Also premature aging.
Also the isolation, shame, self blame, etc.
When she and/or the owl beast injured her father, it was very clearly a PTSD trigger response. Some flashback the beast had that caused it to fight in that moment of panic.
And it was put on her by someone else's careless, selfish, and/or malicious actions.
Someone she was close to. And someone who had her own issues before then (i doubt the neglect started with the owl beast. She definitely looks like she's trying to prove something even as a kid, and eda has always seemed to try to not even compete in her same realms or directly, until after the curse).
It's very much like how abuse typically comes from people who were abused themselves, and trauma tends to breed more trauma. With every person being affected differently, and everyone being capable of breaking the cycle and managing their most damaging impulses, behaviors, and even patterns of thinking/feeling to help mitigate the damage caused to others.
Without dwelling on the shame and guilt for those early stages, slip ups, etc to an unhealthy degree (enough to do better and learn about your triggers and way to manage negative outbursts, but not so much you can't move forward or accept that you did something terrible, even if it's not really "your fault" in the sense of being in control of your actions in that incident. Something eda has to learn herself, in relationship to her curse)
These are all major and pretty specific aspects of it. Entire plot points even.
It doesn't feel vague to me.
It feels like inherited trauma from a family that looks good on paper (or had genetic trauma that happened to unlock for her and Lilith regardless of how parents acted in childhood or major traumatic events early in life)
I'm working on my own essay for this tbh. Part of working through my own PTSD.
My theory is the owl beast represents the trauma of Unnamed Ancestor.
And that ancestor was likely the pregnant witch that Caleb was with *when he was suddenly murdered by his witch hating brother*.
It comes out for eda because she's the one confronting society, it's systems, and ultimately history and the government/religion itself.
In a very metaphorically represented way with the owl beast as it emerges at the exact same moment she first declares she doesn't like covens anymore.
It may have started out as a way to let Lilith have her dream, since all she really cared about was being with her anyway. And she began thinking as an individual questioning what she really wants to do with her life. What path she wants to commit to. What she values or cares about or enjoys.
Which is about the time that a lot of childhood abuse survivors start to really feel and notice that something is actually wrong. They don't function as well as they thought. They just didn't have to make any deal decisions and just always had that "become old enough to leave" goal, with nothing else to keep them going once they do leave.
And that's when the symptoms of the stress really start to ramp up and start to intensify and only really get worse until you learn how to manage it for yourself, ideally with professional help.
Rantings of a personal, political, and economic nature:
But in the US if you have no family as a safety net, and you have trauma from childhood (and thus little if any medical documentation of that time, even if you could have afforded healthcare) it's borderline impossible to get and keep a job long enough to get health insurance benefits, nearly impossible to get on disability even if your functionality is limited to ideal circumstances and short bursts (or the problems catch up when you're not at work so you "can technically handle it though" even if if makes you constantly suicidal to push yourself into that day after day).
So many of us fall through the cracks. Many more gain energy from the anger and pain and end up creating more trauma but seem pretty functional cause most can technically keep a regular job. Some are even workaholics. (Which is a real thing where working is seen as a healthy distraction so you compulsively make sure you have no free time and stay busy/on alert. Cause the moment someone with trauma takes a break, they tend to crash. And some are never really able to function again. And most of us know this on some level. I thought just a couple months couldn't hurt.
But now I can't function in a workplace at all. It's been 8 years since I've worked more than 9 weeks at the same place or within a 6 month time span. But i also couldn't just stop working so i turned inward really big and towards cartoons, movies, books, music, any way to interact with people from a distance and with a pre set thing to focus exclusively on. And eventually that did grow into better self awareness and daily functionality. But i still can't work for a week at a regular job without a massive mental breakdown and fears of my safety.
Chronic physical pain with areas that can flare up (specifically my wrist and hip) are a major aspect. Flare Jos happen from over use and from stress. And I'm not sure if there's a physical component or not (the wrist is consistent with tendonitis and i was in sports where that kind of injury could go unnoticed. Soccer and cheerleading mainly. Plus hours on handwriting lessons every day case dyspraxia. Thought it was arthritis but that was ruled out via blood tests. Carpal tunnel by electric shocks. It's all so expensive to get no real answers. And the hip seems like maybe sciatica to me. Or maybe it's just a flaring of fibromyalgia, which i most likely do have since Lyrica does help manage it and my hip decently well. Though i can end up falling entirely if i stand or walk for too long or too many consecutive days)
And my current therapist has really been hinting for a long time that i might have to accept that i can't so any of the things i enjoy doing or feel like k should be doing (working/making reliable income).
I can't stop trying to make a better future for myself and others. Even if i can't ever be a lawyer or social worker or doctor or even just a friendly cashier that can sometimes pay for a kids toy.
So I kinda settled my future plans less on trying to get myself to function good enough for work or even college, and more on writing a lot of mental health focused essays to say the things i think are important to share and then go back to and see what is important and what might be too emotional or personal.
and then seeing about ways i might feel comfortable trying to monetize it. Down the line. Or maybe make my own video essay RUclips channel way down the line. At least sporadic income that has a chance to end up decent and possibly having a positive income. Whatever i can actually realistically do with the reality i actually have
And I'm trying to focus on this possibly productive line.
But i kinda doubt i have what it takes to make money in this way. I'm not good at clear communication or connecting with other people. Literally the social skills of hunter over here. And for many of the same reasons.
And that doubt saps my energy for it.
As does the fear of it getting big and my family finding out it's me and deciding to have me mysteriously die young like most of the other black sheep in this family full of cops, military vets, and possibly more secret agent types in my stepdads brother. Had a cousin show up dead of"unknown causes" with no investigation or even autopsy at the age of 24 after coming out as lesbian. Most of the family seemed skeptical but just accepted that pawpaw doesn't like that and even he accepted her so she must have been great. And it'd be really disrespectful to disrupt her corpse. Helps when my great uncle is the sheriff and Mee maw runs city hall. And all those cop relatives really went out of their way to cover up near death domestic and child abuse events inflicted on me and others in my house (even suggesting prone restraint after my collar bone was broken when my stepdad "just tried to move their arm in the correct position when they tried to block a regular normal spanking not given in anger". Which I'm sure is his perspective. It's just disgusting. There were so many times i thought i might die . Never knew how long it might last and i often couldn't breathe and wouldn't be believed about it's of course my family, cops and all, were all over the BLM marches. Flying to different states to go to as many as possible.)
But you know. It's all about image for the family. Always has been. It's why my grandma was kicked out of the family for being a pregnant teen. Only for them to pretend that didn't happen the minute she died and they could act like they always cares oh so much. But you know, my mom has 2 siblings that mysteriously died (no one will say how and say it's disrespectful to ask. Which they don't generally do because of disease or something) and there's no real official information about them. So maybe they were looking out for the family name even in estrangement.
But yeah I'm probably safe in reality. Now that I'm out and with my own my people. Especially if i don't get caught making any waves or hurting the family name.
So i just have to avoid them completely and try to change my identity as completely as possible without flagging the government in a way any small town cop could realistically be alerted for. And just try to exist in public without feeling like I'm going to die now or as soon as I get back to presumed safety.
I'll probably be fine. I have a healthy relationship and some friends that I don't think intentionally feed my family information (small town though. Friend of my friend is likely a friend of an aunt or cousin. So I've had to scrap 4 social names and distance from many i tried to befriend.).
So I'm fine. I'm not homeless or addicted to anything and I'm in therapy and doing better now.
I'm just not fully functional. And may never be. And won't ever really be cured or back to how i was when I was 5 and not really very traumatized yet.
It's a fairly rare group that is lucky enough to be able to really afford and access quality mental or even physical healthcare.
Without having at least a supportive partner or friend group, most end up homeless.
And many (housed or not) turn to substance use, abuse, and addiction, or "self medication".
Many end up in the criminal element (sex work, drug dealers, theft etc).
Many end up in toxic or abusive relationships repeatedly (as either victim or perpetrator. In some cases even both in different situations).
Many end up in multiple of these categories
Most people kinda know this.
But few really see how privatized healthcare feeds into the cycles of trauma and poverty, and why the most toxic kinds of people tend to succeed socially and economically much more frequently than the people who really try to be better people who contribute *positively* to society (and no i don't mean according to economic growth. But culture, society, technology, raising healthy children, political activism for good, etc.)
More ranting, mostly political
UBI would definitely do a lot to help.
As would removing barriers and means testing gatekeeping from social safety net programs.
And of course diverting funds from police and the military, both of which contribute greatly to trauma, and towards social programs, health care workers, social workers, all of which can work to help, prevent, and treat trauma and other mental illnesses (as well as properly accommodate neurodivergencies and disabilities)
But you know "that's political" so most don't even want too hear about it, and real people end up suffering much more as a result of the entitled comfort of the privileged. Because for SOME reason anything the privileged find to be "uncomfortable" is political
And very rarely are harmful norms and systems being portrayed as natural, good, or neutral, getting called out on how political, uncomfortable, and alienating that is. Outside of some far left video essays about the neoliberal ideology of Harry Potter or something. But inside the "i don't like politics" crowd nothing. Wonder why.
But oh well.
At least there's eda there to remind us that us misfit societal weirdo Anarcha feminist criminal punks can be cool and also decent people who make a positive impact on people way more often than the opposite.
Who cares about conformity and following a set path? Who cares about some external definition of success or value? Who cares about people that look down on you because your life doesn't look like theirs?
All that really matters on a personal level are the people that "get it" enough to accept every aspect of who you actually are and what you can actually do, and choose to do.
And that is a powerful thing to fully accept.
So she's the kinda aspirational ideal for trauma i guess. Whereas hunter is the baby barely leaving the toxic system.
I'm still not really that confident in just disregarding the haters. I know it, but can't feel it. I feel like maybe I'm somehow toxic or abusive if i close myself off from people who judge me harshly or make me feel bad.
And even puffing up that confidence doesn't work well under stress, scrutiny, bullying, or when asked questions like where i work or if i have transportation, even when i spend a full day preparing for it. Or even sometimes what i want to eat. But i know i need to get there. It's just slow
I enjoyed the video. Good work on the video.
wait....was the curse from the collector? ive finished the show and im now complelty confused
One of the collecter’s brethren turned the owl beast into a curse, timeskip a bit, Lilith bought the curse and gave it to eda
Can you talk about Kaitou Joker?
20:46 DAFUQ IS THAT ON THE LEFT?
Me playing Fallout 76:
The person who tried to get the owl beast might have been Filip in his attempts to find a draining spell. I mean if he could have replicated it, ut could have worked.
If a teen can use a powerful curse on a powerful (kinda) witch how is everyone not cursed
Take notes Todd Howards. This is things just work.
Just found your channel today and have been bingeing your videos for the last few hours. You've got yourself a new subscriber already!
I thought the owl house was canceled?
It's still getting season 2b and three 45 minute episodes of season 3.
I need a bump episode stat
I love the design for the bat queen idk theres just something about her and her voice ah god damn. She deserved more screen time
I think the reason why Season 1 and Season 2 had different versions of her dreamscape was that in season 1, the curse was worsening so she was subconsciously desperately wanting to know who cursed her. After she finally knows the answer, her dreams go back to being chased by the beast. The thing is, it wasn't until Hooty forced her to sleep did she finally try to find answers about the curse itself. In doing so she finally was open to seeing things from the Owl Beast's perspective, and that was when she learned that it was in the same boat as her.
