* ImprobableWeaponUser: When fighting Mina, Star weaponizes Meteora and her soul-draining power.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** Janna tends to be portrayed as far more sensitive and considerate of others' feelings, especially Tom. Not to mention her tendency to mess with Marco is far less overtly mean-streaked.
** Brittany is still largely used as the butt of the joke, but several strips make clear that despite her AlphaBitch demeanor, she ''can'' be nice and make amends after going too far, which is a far cry from being the one dimensional AlphaBitch she was in canon.

* In [[https://instagram.com/p/CN2aBriFcjC/ this comic]], King Shastacan manages to [[SparedByTheAdaptation escape being eaten by Globgor]] by telling the angry monster that [[TooKinkyToTorture he's into vore]]. When a disturbed Globgor then decides to [[TrampledUnderfoot stomp him to death]] instead, Shastacan decides to let Rhombulus fill in the details of how he escaped ''that'' for himself. Judging by his disturbed expression, Shastacan clearly finds his supposed fetishes as creepy and unsavoury as Globgor himself. Though it is unclear if he actually has the fetishes or [[RefugeInAudacity is just lying to make Globgor too uncomfortable to kill him]].

** When some tourists come across Bill's statue, one of them reaches for Bill's hand, but Soos stops them. [[spoiler:Because he is putting up a sign charging them to take a photo with the statue. Clearly, he learned well from Stan.]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The employee at Willie Badger wishes to be like him. That night, Willie decides to oblige the guy's wishes by [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys stuffing him into a Willie Badger animatronic.]]

[[folder:''The Owl House'']]
* AbilityMixing: Amity, knowing she can't beat Darius in a fight using abomination magic, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rxfaf9/moringmark_the_true_abominations_master/ beats him by creating glyphs out of abomination goo]].
* AbuseMistake: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/673091000842010624 One comic]] features the Bat Queen assuming Ghost has been heartlessly abandoned when she finds her out in the boiling rain. The truth is that Ghost annoyed Odalia (her owner) who kicked her outside and Amity is absolutely frantic when she realizes it's raining and she's gone; the Bat Queen treats the young witch with suspicion and hostility but when Ghost goes to make sure Amity's okay, she sees how much they love each other and she lets her go home with her new chosen partner.
* AbusiveParents: While Odalia is already this in canon, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uw0ute/mom/ one comic]] takes it further by revealing that [[WouldHurtAChild she would physically harm Amity as punishment for making mistakes like accidentally breaking a vase while playing]]. In the present day, after she forgets to get something while buying groceries for Luz and Camila, this triggers a bad memory of Odalia, but just as she feels like she's going to be punished, [[GoodParents Camila]] is more than understanding and tells Amity it's okay.
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x7bcv5/sacrifice/ another comic]] Odalia is about to brainwash Amity to be a companion for the Collector.
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: All King has to wear is his collar and, if Dana Terrace's artwork is to go by, his skull. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rsvdxp/food_for_thought/ Tarak points out that this is not normal.]]
* AccidentalKiss: This is actually how Luz and Amity's first kiss goes in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ub7a4x/first_kiss/ one comic,]] as Luz pretends to be a woodpecker as a joke, and while Amity is laughing, their lips accidentally connect in the process.
* AccidentalMurder: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qief4g/human_curse/ A confrontation between Luz and the Golden Guard ends in this]]; Luz messes with Hunter by "cursing him to breathe inward manually", but he ends up killing himself.
-->'''Luz:''' ''(stunned)'' His blood is on my hands.
* AccidentalProposal:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11blnvu/they_know/ While a drunk Eda rants to Puppet Raine]], she says she's going to propose to them once they're free, and even goes over some of the things she'll say, unaware that even as a puppet, Raine can hear everything she's saying. Once the Collector frees them, Raine immediately accepts, [[LateToTheRealization though it takes a minute for Eda to realize what they mean]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12xgr4n/just_roll_with_it_masha/ While Vee, Masha, Luz and Amity]] are on a double date, Masha compliments Vee's earring, but Vee thinks thinks theirs are cooler. Vee thinks about shapeshifting some, but Masha gives her theirs instead. Vee gets so flustered she facedesks. As Luz explains, in the Demon Realm, when couples want to take their relationship further, they exchange jewelry.
-->'''Luz:''' Sooo, what you did was basically the Demon Realm equivalent of...a proposal.\\
''(Masha blushes heavily)''
* AccidentalPublicConfession: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wxf0nv/practice/ As Luz rehearses her attempt to revoke her promise to Camila]], she ends up saying it to the real Camila who walked in and Luz assumes was an illusion made by Gus. Luz is shocked when she sees her mother heard everything.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Hunter notices that Luz is infiltrating the castle, he makes a joke that causes her to laugh. Unfortunately, this causes the invisibility glyph she was using to wear off, [[OhCrap exposing her right in front of him and Belos]]. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/655333995274551296 Cue her being chased by dozens of guards.]]
-->'''Luz:''' Luz, you fool!
* AdaptationExpansion: Some comics go deeper into the backstories of certain characters in all the shows, like showing Manny was a firefighter who was implied to have died on the job, while canon left the cause of his death ambiguous, or that Boscha was bullied for being half-demon before becoming a bully herself.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Canonically, Amity and Hunter managed to let bygones be bygones after Hunter solidified his HeelFaceTurn, the two being genuine friends as part of the Hexsquad and spending time living with Camila and Luz in the human world. Here, their relationship remains somewhat antagonistic, Amity once threatening him if he ever hurts Luz like he threatened to in "Eclipse Lake", and the two acting more like VitriolicBestBuds, screwing with each other one moment, having each other's backs the next. This doubles as a GenerationXerox to the comics' depiction of the relationship between Amity's father, Alador, and the closest Hunter has to a guardian outside of Camila, Darius. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11wjmrr/illusion_of_choice/ "Illusion of Choice"]] hangs a {{lampshade|Hanging}} on it, as while Amity is with the others asking about who Hunter wants to ultimately be adopted by, both his choices, Camila and Darius, would cause her grief since, either way, he'll end up her ''brother'' in some form, and she laments already having to deal with ''one'' annoying brother via Edric.[[labelnote:*]]If Camila adopts him and Amity marries Luz, then Hunter will be her [[ObnoxiousInLaws brother-in-law]]. If Darius adopts him and Darius and Alador get married, then Hunter will be her step-brother.[[/labelnote]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Camila [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/675808909787824128 runs an armored truck off-road]] and seemingly [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p6slzm/la_chancla/ fights Emperor Belos to a standstill]] before being disarmed of her [[invoked]][[MemeticMutation chancla]].
* AdaptationalComicRelief: Emperor Belos is far laxer, laidback, and expressive than Belos in Canon, complete with some slight [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain incompetent villain]] traits. Though like Toffee and Bill, he sometimes proves he can be as dangerous as his canon self if he sets his mind to it.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike Canon Luz, Beta Luz is a delinquent who [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/663125334270541824 refuses to help change Eda back from her owl beast form and is willing to let King deal with it on his own, much to his chagrin, and tries to run off. The only thing that stops her is the boiling rain.]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** While Boscha in the show itself is a BarbaricBully with only some hints at HiddenDepths, Mark tends to depict her as a deeply insecure person who bullies others out of fear. Several comics have her go through the early stages of a HeelRealization.
** Odalia and Alador are given similar treatment in some comics. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t7a1xa/moringmark_like_mother_like_daughter/ One even implies]] [[TheChainOfHarm Odalia was a victim of]] AbusiveParents as well.
** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in regards to Kikimora in [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680429355240980480 one comic.]] While Kikimora had no qualms with kidnapping Raine in canon, said comic shows Raine (after their memories were altered by Terra) becoming friends with her and taking her out for a day on the town. After an unspecified period of time where Raine learns the truth and bitterly ends their friendship, Kikimora is shown to be very upset by what happened afterward.
* AfraidOfNeedles: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10ckkkk/needles/ The Hexsquad is terrified]] when Camila plans to give them vaccination shots (with Willow even saying "Not the needles!") except for Luz, who is already up to date on her shots. Once Camila announces she's also giving all of them tetanus shots for their wounds, Luz joins the witchlings in shouting a BigNo.
* AfterlifeWelcome: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vo9386/making_amends/ This comic]] shows Philip and Caleb Wittebane reuniting in the afterlife as Hunter kills Belos once and for all.
* AgeAppropriateAngst: Belos' [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uht2kb/the_emperors_new_hunter/ new Golden Guard]] turned out a bit different, which Belos explains as a mishap in accelerating the aging process. As a result, the new Hunter has hit his rebellious teen phase extremely early and fails to do as his creator asks, stating outright that Belos isn't even his real uncle.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: After coming to terms with each other, the Owl Beast still appears in Eda's dreams so she can walk it, using the curse's string as a leash. It also displays other dog-like traits alongside this, and Eda ends up more tired overall because of it.
* AllForNothing:
** A heartwarming variant: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p0f65k/moringmark_the_perfect_first_date/ Amity tires herself out prepping for her first date with Luz]]. She falls asleep, but Luz simply drapes Amity with her jacket and stays in place to let her rest while she enjoy the embrace.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zbgxjk/wingman/ Flapjack's motive for finding the rebus]] was so he could give it to Hunter, he can find the Titan Blood and win everyone's praise, Willow's in particular. Unfortunately, [[SpannerInTheWorks Amity]] trips and finds the rebus first.
* AllJustADream: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sdz7yo/moringmark_sisterly_bondand_regret/ One comic]] opens with Eda waking up just as Lilith was about to put the curse on her, leading the two to have a heart to heart and her admitting that she was going to forfit their match. It seems like a case of ForWantOfANail right up until she admits that she knew was Lilith was about to do and forgives her, at which point Lilith wakes up in the present day and starts crying.
* TheAllSolvingHammer: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xj9l8v/graveyard/ Vee's friends don't know Belos' weakness]], but figure they should use fire because it tends to be fairly effective against everything. It works.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/swb3o0/moringmark_why/ Why Amity ended her friendship with Boscha]]. Their friendship was almost entirely centered on Boscha, to the point where even she can't remember any time they did something Amity wanted. Boscha seems to have a HeelRealization when Amity points this out.
* AlmostKiss: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vgm60j/kiss/ "Kiss"]], after being reassured by Amity that they'll find a way to get back to the Boiling Isles and save everyone, Luz attempts to share a kiss with her, only for Camila to walk in with cocoa tea, prompting them to quickly retract themselves and claim that they're doing nothing.
* AlternateSelf:
** Aside from Witch Luz from ''Witches Among Humans'', there are three variants of Luz that shows up in most of his comics:
*** "Main" Luz is closest to the one seen in the show, a teenager who ended up on the Boiling Isles and studies glyph magic.
*** "Beta" Luz, or Lucia, is a few years older than her main counterpart, wears a jacket and beanie, and wields a baseball bat with glyphs taped to it.
*** "Alpha" Luz wears a striped shirt and has darker hair than her counterparts. She's the only version who can cast magic innately without glyphs, and her version of the Boiling Isles is actually Hell, with her DeadAllAlong.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uzb8uu/counterparts/ "Counterparts"]] has Luz postulate that there are counterparts of people between Earth and the Boiling Isles, after realizing that Amity and Willow resemble the head cheerleader and one of her classmates back on Earth. Willow in turn mentions there was a witch who looked and acted like Luz, Lusine, that she and Gus knew. Emphasis on ''was'' though, as a year prior, Lusine ''[[DeadAlternateCounterpart died]]'' after [[DeathAsComedy drinking soda with Mentos.]] Luz can only admit that certainly ''sounds'' like something she'd do while Amity looks disturbed.
* AmbiguouslyGay: More like "Ambiguously Queer, but not stated how". Vee is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rh0ogw/outfits/ very excited about wearing a pride pin]], but it's not stated where on the LGBT spectrum she falls, though she is presumably sapphic given that she is seen in later strips dating Masha.
* AnArmAndALeg: As in canon, Eda and Lilith can voluntarily abuse this, and Lilith uses it to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/otciy5/under_control/ avoid her coven sigil immobilizing her as per Kikimora's spell]].
* AndShowItToYou: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zz17su/first_do_no_harm/ Among Hettie's abilities]] is the ability to perform instant surgery. She does this by doing a FlashStep and producing what appears to be Darius' kidney when he asks. Though they laugh it off when she reveals its not his kidney, he pauses again when she reveals the kidney belongs to some coven scout.
* AngerBornOfWorry: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r5o2p1/moringmark_titans_teeth/ When Luz retrieves a particularly dangerous to retrieve ingredient for Eda's elixir]], the latter makes clear her displeasure that Luz put herself in such danger, and insists that she at least make sure that she be allowed to tag along on such adventures.
* AnimalEaredHeadband: Parodied in post-"For the Future" comics, with Stringbean serving as the cat-themed headband whenever Luz takes her out in public.
* AnimatedActors:
** One of the ''Owl House'' [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/644552956330541056 comics]] is set up as a Behind the Scenes video with Tiny Nose as the producer of the show.
** A second [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zjdjw4/casting_call/ comic]] detailing how the show in question got their cast. Luz could naturally act out her Season 1 self with her Season 3 look being her default, Amity could blush on demand the moment she found out that she is dating a girl, and Eda is just her sassy self.
* AnimationBump: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11msxza/high_budget_scene/ "High Budget Scene"]] lampshades the instances of this in the show. The characters notice they seem more detailed with Luz thinking it's signaling a "boss fight", while Willow thinks it's preluding a romantic scene like the Lumity kiss. After teasing Hunter and Willow about a potential kiss scene, Luz dismisses a boss fight, noting how weak Belos is now. Belos, in a more detailed monster form than Mark usually draws, cries behind a pillar.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: PlayedWith towards [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z9okyj/siblings/ Luz and Vee's relationship]]: they're ecstatic to have this dynamic, but there's confusion as to ''who's'' the younger sibling since they don't know Vee's exact age.
* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Boscha is shown going through this in strips that focus on post-"King's Tide" Boiling Isles, most prominently seen when she [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w202fd/tag/ deliberately exposes herself to the Collector in a bid to save Skara's life]].
* ApocalypticLog: One of the coven scouts, who is named Clint, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sesfh3/propaganda_coven_presents/ records his experiences]] in the Emperor's Coven as idyllic. He ends up being the one killed (in the puppet show scene) by Hooty in "Agony of a Witch".
-->'''Clint's Diary:''' Dear Diary, [[TemptingFate ...This is going to be the best day of my life.]]
* ApologeticAttacker: Luz apologizes and patches up Lilith with the healing glyphs she just made [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/obmqvf/moringmark_liliths_playing_with_fire_here/ after Lilith scares her with the plant she revived while Luz was sleeping.]]
* ArrangedMarriage: Odalia sets one up between Emira and the Golden Guard while trying to end Emira's relationship with Hunter, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qgybl4/arranged/ unaware that they are the same]].
-->'''Emira:''' Um... actually.\\
'''Hunter:''' (elbowing and whispering to Emira) Wait until the wedding day, that's funnier.\\
'''Emira:''' (whispering back) Good point.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
** Masha assumes that Vee isn't human from her wide range of demon knowledge, eating ten pounds of ice cream in one sitting and pouring milk before cereal.
** Jacob Hopkins is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r1x8x1/moringmark_vee_for_vendetta/ arrested for a long list of petty crimes]] such as littering, defacing public property, shoplifting, forging money, tax fraud, spying on the Nocedas, and stepping on the grass in spite of a sign telling him not to. It is highly implied that it was Vee in disguise doing those actions.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u9rqxs/greatest_fear/ One strip]] shows Eda, Lilith, and Raine facing Grometheus and seeing their worst fears. Lilith's is [[WellDoneSonGuy disappointing her mother]], Raine's is failing to overcome their StageFright, and Eda's is [[MinorWithFakeID not being allowed to drink hard apple blood with her fake ID]]. The last one leaves Lilith, Raine and even Grom unimpressed.
--->'''Eda:''' What?! It's a legit fear!
* ArtImitatesLife: Amity loans Luz an Azura fanfiction she wrote [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lg3xw5/moringmark_the_perfect_fanfiction/ that she based off of their friendship and her crush on Luz]]. A FreudianSlip leads to Luz learning the truth and she heads straight to Amity to embrace her.
* AssimilationBackfire: After possessing Luz' body, the Collector also inherits Luz's [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ud490h/emotions/ rather extensive traumas and mental issues]], including self-doubt, a need to act reckless to prove he's worthy of love, and a compulsive need to lie about his struggles. The others end up wrapping them in a blanket and giving him something to drink, while also agreeing to have a talk with Luz afterward.
* AwesomeButImpractical: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wvpkpt/owlbert_20/ Alador outfits Owlbert with a seat and vehicle parts so Eda's more comfortable on him]], but fails to take into account that Owlbert still has to carry all of that plus Eda. When he suggests attaching a jetpack, Eda questions why he bothers attaching the palisman and not just make a flying vehicle.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/641744450536767488 Edric and Emira]] help Amity escape from home and give her a care package so she can stay at the Owl House, even though they brush off the idea that they did it because they care about her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r3e582/moringmark_more_than_partners/ This pre-Season 2 comic]] shows that although their marriage was a built on a business proposal]], Alador did have feelings for Odalia when they were young and Odalia did appreciate his anniversary gift.
** Boscha shows that she cares more about her friends and rivals than she lets on.
*** When [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vmny4j/apocalypse/ she learns that Amity and Luz are missing and probably dead]], she gets a look of absolute shock and horror on her face, collapses to the ground, and spends the entire night reading Amity's favorite book that she had previously made fun of.
*** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w202fd/tag/ While fighting off a group of Titan Trappers]], she refuses to carry Skara who's got a leg injury. When the Collector shows up and spots Skara after she loses her invisibility medal, Boscha exploits a non-existent rule to get the Collector to leave before they do to Skara what they did to Belos. She plays it off as not wanting to bunk with Amelia but Skara thanks her nonetheless for saving her.
* BackFromTheDead:
** This [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/n67zq7/moringmark_ohwell_meet_again/ strip]] set in the Alpha world has an ambiguous case: after being killed by Emperor Belos, Luz seems to return to life with Owlbert (who was destroyed) either supplying her with his magic or possessing her body.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/647270865228152832 In a timeline where Luz was petrified]], Willow, Gus, and Amity bring her back to life during the moonlight conjuring so they can see her again.
* BadassBookworm: As in canon, Amity not only knows how to kick butt but also... a lot in general. She even knows how to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v8hh0g/troubleshooting/ fix Camila's car]] when it breaks down, thanks to her father buying books on human engineering from Eda and Alador teaching Amity about the subject, at her behest.
* BadBadActing: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u1ives/leaving_the_emperors_coven/ The attempt]] to help Hunter escape from the Emperor's Coven involves faking his death, with Willow faking anguish over his body, which is "impaled" with a spear that clearly has the shaft bent around his torso, while the blood is clearly ketchup. [[OnlySaneMan Kikimora]] is the only one who sees that it is staged and protests this to Belos (who immediately is looking to create a new grimwalker), Darius (who is crying over Hunter's "demise"), and Raine (who apparently couldn't care less and simply drinks their tea).
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter:
** Since Alador is too busy to hang out with Darius, he makes Darius watch over baby Amity for [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ry8yya/babysitting/ a few minutes]]. HilarityEnsues.
** As part of [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u6etrv/ultimate_challenge/ a test]] of Luz and Amity's relationship (likely an attempt by Odalia to break up the young couple), Alador and Odalia task them with babysitting an abomination baby for a week, much to Amity's horror and Luz's delight. Cue them doing all manner of strenuous duties that parents have to do taking care of a baby. By the end of the week, they pass, but have visible ExhaustedEyeBags, ruffled hair, a wide-eyed ThousandYardStare, and can barely hold each other up.
-->'''Luz:''' It... It's okay, we made it.
* BadFuture: An example of this is shown in which the one thing stopping Belos from reaching the human realm is removed: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/667564586121248768 Luz's arrival.]] However, Amity has dreams of her, leading to her and her arranged husband Hunter to research a spell that [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong can alter history]], as Luz makes her arrival to stop Belos.
* BaitAndSwitch: Multiple examples:
** Thrice Selene [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/671822642939052032 does it]] when Luz and Amity approach her to see the fate of their relationship. [[RageBreakingPoint It ends up getting on Amity's nerves]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/plmgqn/one_last_thing/ After Luz does various dangerous tasks for Malphas to get Amity's job back]], he needs her to do one last thing. He describes an act considered evil by many, a heinous deed that will haunt her for the rest of her life... It turns out it's taking a dangerous book from a child and making her cry.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r6gc6g/use_your_words/ When Willow reaches her limit with Boscha's insults,]] she prepares to get violent with her, with Luz's pleas for her to use her words seemingly falling on deaf ears. Willow draws a spell circle to conjure several vines... [[spoiler:which form the words "YOU SUCK", and she somehow manages to intimidate Boscha with it]].
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sq1110/wake_up_luz one comic,]] Amity is seemingly [[PleaseDontLeaveMe begging Luz to stay awake]] while she's covered in red splotches. Turns out the two were attending ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Tomatina La Tomatina]]'' in Spain, and Luz was only sleeping because was that she was jet-lagged.
** When Luz's Palisman egg [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ux3gcd/egg/ starts to hatch,]] a small pillar of fire in the shape of a phoenix emerges... only for the actual Palisman to be a dodo bird. Luz still thinks it's perfect though.
** One comic is titled [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ttrlnb/amity_caught_luz_kissing_another_girl_emotional/ "Amity caught Luz kissing another girl (Emotional)".]] It's their daughter. The comic was also released on April Fools Day.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w64owu/skara_the_planner/ This comic]] shows Skara organizing everyone for something they'll only have one chance to accomplish. It's not a mission: it's making sure Eda and Raine's wedding goes off without a hitch.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x2rcwe/could_it_be/ In this comic]] we see Hunter and Willow seemingly kissing. Turns out she's helping him with makeup to hide the bags under his eyes. This leads to a very annoyed Flapjack when it turns out Clover dragged him all the way over to see for nothing.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x4v43i/braid/ "Braid"]] has Willow asking Amity and Hunter if one of them could braid her hair. After four rounds of "Rock, Paper, Scissors", Hunter wins much to Amity's annoyance... then it turns out ''the winner'' is the one who would do it.
** In a comic titled "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xok3kw/raeda_angst/ Raeda Angst]]", Raine is somberly telling Eda that "They just can't take it anymore" while one panel focuses on their wedding ring, implying their relationship isn't working out. [[spoiler:It turns out they were talking about how much their back hurts from sleeping in a nest with Eda, so she builds a combination of her nest and Raine's bed as a compromise.]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ydyu37/whatever_works/ After Jacob injures Masha,]] Vee seems ready to transform and attack him in her basilisk form. Instead, she tells him to [[LookBehindYou look behind him]] before hitting him with [[ArmedWithPepperSpray pepper spray]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zht8nr/the_l_word/ Luz asks Amity]] if they could say the "L" word out loud since [[CannotSpitItOut they haven't said it to each other yet]]. She agrees, [[spoiler:but it's not love; it's "Lumity".]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yt7tnk/what_could_have_been/ Philip and Caleb are arguing while fire surrounds them and Philip's holding a knife]]. It looks like Philip's about murder his brother, but he's actually just heavily opposed to the idea of serving well-done steak at Evelyn's barbeque.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/znfbl6/duel/ Evelyn is holding her staff and Caleb is holding a pitchfork as if they are about to have a duel,]] but they ended up making out instead. Caleb explains to his brother that the lipstick marks on his face were bite marks.
** In a call-back to the first time, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zo6v38/future/ Selene shows Luz and Amity the future,]] and it looks like Luz was about to marry Hunter much to Amity's anger and Luz's confusion. It turns out to be a wedding between Luz and Amity where Hunter was walking Luz down the aisle.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10lsfjo/reason_and_logic/ When confronted by Odalia in the Archive House]], Camila stops Amity from arguing with her ex-mother by saying she'll destroy her with "reason and logic". She then proceeds to beat Odalia up with her bat (reason) and chancla (logic).
--->'''Luz:''' (''watching and [[PassThePopcorn eating popcorn]]'') My mom gives nicknames to all her stuff.
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11l03hc/question/ this]] comic, Eda asks that the children confronting the Collector cover their ears, as what she's about to say isn't safe for children... and then asks Puppet Raine Belos what her favorite swear word is.
* BathroomControl: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zvnp8j/knight_of_the_kitchen/ "Knight of the Kitchen"]], after Hunter becomes DrunkWithPower upon being named "[[TitleDrop Knight of the Kitchen]]" by Camila and starts lording it over Amity, she gets even by having herself declared Knight of the Bathroom and holding Hunter up when he needs to use the toilet.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11zlamn/bard/ This comic]] has Raine trying to expel Belos from their mindscape and puppet body. Belos reminds Raine that he's not physically there so their bard magic won't do anything and they can't hurt him in any way. [[TemptingFate Except maybe killing him with words]]. Raine proceeds to conjure a trumpet and reenact the "Trumpet Boy" meme to annoy Belos out of them.
->'''Raine:''' '''''DOOT'''''\\
'''Belos:''' (while Raine plays) Hey, stop it. Cut it out. Ugh, this is childish.
* BeautifulDreamer: Parodied. Luz looks absolutely ridiculous after falling asleep in the middle of class, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/roy9h4/she_is_beauty_she_is_grace/ but Amity still finds it beautiful.]]
-->'''Gus:''' Love truly is more powerful than any Illusion Magic.
** Later PlayedForLaughs when Luz keeps Amity from sleeping [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/668017570568437760 all night at a sleepover]] by constantly moving in her sleep and snoring.
--->'''Eda:''' How was the sleepover, girls?\\
'''Amity:''' Everything was great, except for the sleep part.\\
'''Luz:''' I'm so sorry.
* BeachEpisode:
** Discussed in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ut4277/beach_episode/ one comic]] where everyone goes to the beach for the day, with Luz even saying the trope by name. In addition, she talks about the trope further when several characters unintentionally act out clichés found in beach episodes, like [[{{Fanservice}} everyone having an excuse to wear a bathing suit]] (shown through Katya, Amber, and Derwin playing with a beach ball while wearing bathing suits), [[AmusingInjuries someone getting hit by a beach ball]] (shown through Lilith getting hit by the former three's beach ball), [[BeachBury people getting buried in the sand in an amusing way]] (shown through Raine chastizing Eda for accidentally burying Steve's head in the sand while leaving his legs exposed), and [[ShipTease ship teasing]] (shown through Hunter trying to look cool for Willow, who is actually trying to warn him about a shark attack later revealed to be a prank by Hooty wearing a fake shark fin).
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x0phwk/its_gonna_be_okay/ Later on]], Amity takes Luz to the beach so she takes a break from doing research on the portal door. She succeeds and Luz manages to relax and enjoy it with her.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vrjqfc/be_careful_what_you_wish_for/ A comic named this]] has Amity watching Ghost making friends with an Earth cat and saying that maybe she'll learn from them how to be a "real" cat. Sure enough, Ghost begins indulging in all of the negative traits that a regular cat has much to Amity's exasperation.
** After they've been dating for a bit, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z3kozb/second_face/ Azura thinks she and Hecate should stop ignoring her second face]]. Hecate warns her her second face is creepy, but Azura thinks she can handle it. She is instantly proven wrong.
--->'''Hecate:''' Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you.\\
(Hecate turns her head and Azura moves her hair away)\\
'''Second Face:''' I can feel '''everything''' when you kiss the other face.\\
(Azura pushes the hair back)\\
'''Azura:''' I'm not talking to her again.\\
'''Hecate:''' Told ya.
** Since she is a vet, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11hzsbs/a_whole_month_of_this/ Camila asks Viney to grant her the ability to understand animals for a month]]. Cue hearing all of their cries of anguish about their various predicaments along with other unneeded information back at the office.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: As a child, Eda [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oztteg/moringmark_how_hooty_and_eda_met/ found]] Hooty having accidentally tied himself around a branch, and helped him loose. Years later, Hooty was hunting in the forest outside of the Owl House when he saw a pair of coven guards arriving to arrest Eda. Remembering her from all those years ago, Hooty beat up the guards and made himself at home in the Owl House to protect his friend. Eda can't remember it, and Hooty doesn't intend on saying anything.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Hooty somehow is the one behind the myths of the [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qqvzf5/hooty/ Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, how the pyramids and Stonehenge were built and the Bermuda triangle.]] [[BreadEggsMilkSquick He's also responsible for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang]], meaning the entire universe was just [[TheSingularity an extension of Hooty]].
* BehavioralConditioning: Hunter reflexively punches people who pass in front of him as he sleeps in the shins; [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ymuqxf/reflex/ a few months back, he had trained himself to punch Kikimora in the gut should she try to assassinate him in his sleep.]]
* BerateAndSwitch: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yhezmo/soda/ "Soda"]] has Luz and Amity having said drink, and when Camila catches them burping, this happens:
-->'''Camila:''' Oh no, you two are not starting a burping contest-\\
'''Amity:''' (''tenses up'') Sorry, Mrs. Noceda. I-\\
'''Camila:''' ...without me!! (''Amity is surprised and Luz grins.'')
* BigDamnHeroes:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/657598919407288320 When]] Flapjack sees Kikimora about to kill Hunter in his sleep, he sticks a fire glyph on her back so she taps it and is sent flying out the window.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x7bcv5/sacrifice/ Just as Odalia is about to]] [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwash]] Amity, Luz and Eda jump in to save the latter from her now-deranged mother.
* BirthdayEpisode:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654881010036637696 This strip]] takes place on Principal Bump's birthday, with Luz, Willow and Gus planning a SurpriseParty for him unaware that he doesn't want to celebrate.
** Implied. Luz, Amity and Eda put together a party to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/psjbse/moringmark_its_all_for_you_king/ celebrate the day Eda accidentally adopted King]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wf7dc5/quiet/ This strip]] has the survivors in the Boiling Isles celebrate Eda's birthday, [[ForgotTheirOwnBirthday which she forgot.]] Back on Earth, Luz somberly does the same alone.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x9wadt/birthday_gift/ A few issues]] and a [[TimeSkip 7-year flash-forward later]], everyone celebrates Luz's 21st birthday.
* BizarreAlienBiology:
** Because he's a Grimwalker, not only is Hunter able to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uj9ni6/bat_queen eat books]], [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xtpj0g/heartbeat/ he also has a magic gemstone for a heart]] and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yfozk1/floating/ floats on water like driftwood]].
** Apparently, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wispym/purr/ witches purr like cats]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xk5q6k/feeding_time/ Palismen are fed like plants]]; they sit in pots and absorb nutrients from potting mix.
* BlackComedy: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xcdl36/agony_of_a_witch_but_its_chibi_tiny_tales/ One comic]] recaps the scene where Eda succumbs to her curse in the format of ''WesternAnimation/ChibiTinyTales''.
* {{Blackmail}}: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10qvdpn/to_be_a_leader/ Refusing to let Boscha lead the Hexside resistance due to her conspiring with Kikimora]], Matt threatens her to give up leadership to him by threatening to show everybody a memory photo that makes it look like she has a crush on him. Unwilling to risk her reputation, Boscha relents and is impressed by how he did her dirty.
* BlindWithoutEm: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rfhb1u/glasses/ When]] a younger Lilith tries to get Eda to join the Emperor's Coven, Eda recalls how Lilith's vision fares poorly without glasses, which Lilith vehemently denies [[IResembleThatRemark while addressing Eda's shadow instead of Eda herself]].
* BluntYes: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rv3925/in_the_diner/ While Vee recaps a story about her previous life having to eat garbage in the Boiling Isles,]] Masha asks if she was trying to guilt trip them into sharing their cheesecake. Vee says yes, and Masha just hands the entire slice to her.
* BodyHorror: Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ug0hql/awakening_warning_disturbing_content_involving/ dreams]] of waking up in the middle of his creation, and conveniently as Belos complains to the Collector about the quality of their selkidomus scales, which acts as synthetic skin. As such, once he looks at his hands, he screams at the sight of a pair of skinless hands. [[DissonantSerenity Neither Belos or the Collector pay any mind to Hunter or his screaming, and Belos simply puts him back to sleep and wipes his memory]].
* BodySnatcher: The Collector [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ud490h/emotions/ possesses Luz's body,]] causing her skin to turn yellow and blue, her eyes to turn red, and her hair to turn white. [[AssimilationBackfire He then realizes that possessing Luz comes with some significant mental trauma]].
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rsvdxp/food_for_thought/ "Food For Thought"]], Eda points out that Tarak has no right to give parental advice regarding King, given that Tarak abandoned King. Tarak agrees to this, but also points out that Eda isn't much better- most parents don't let eight year olds run around naked with only a collar.
* BornInTheWrongCentury: Parodied in "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z2pur3/nuclear_solution/ Nuclear Solution]]", where Belos somehow builds a nuclear bomb using his "advanced knowledge from the 1600s".
* BouquetToss: Raine [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ujzpg4/bouquet_toss/ does this]] during their and Eda's wedding, leading to several characters using their magical abilities to try and get it first. Luz manages to get the bouquet after everyone else gets knocked out from the skirmish.
* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: In this [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q6mv2q/moringmark_her_blessing_13/ three]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q80rop/moringmark_23/ part]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q9cupc/moringmark_her_blessing_33/ comic]], Odalia convinces Luz to end her relationship with Amity to protect her from being apprehended by the Emperor's Coven and [[TakenForGranite petrified.]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Amity]] and [[MamaBear Eda]], however, [[WhatTheHellHero are having]] [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone none of it.]]
* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: In the comic [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v646k2/promise/ promise]], while the two are playing games together Amity assures her and Luz's infant daughter that she is going to raise her right. The language she uses pretty explicitly calls to mind how [[AbusiveParents Odalia]] treated Amity when she was a child, specifically with Amity stating that she is going to do the opposite of what Odalia did.
* BreakoutMookCharacter: Explored in [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680882339932504064 one strip]] focusing on Steve. After being chosen by one of the wri- [[VerbalBackspace er, gods]], Steve gradually gains more and more unique traits that set him apart from the other Emperor's Coven mooks... only to be killed off later on. The writer explains that they wanted a martyr to motivate the gang, but that they didn't want to make it one of the main characters, so they just built up Steve over the course of the series so his death could be that motivator.
* BridalCarry:
** To repay Luz [[CallBack for helping with her injured leg]], [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s9cbdu/eye_of_the_tiger_playing_in_the_background/ Amity works out to be strong enough to carry her after she gets hurt]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t3h7fz/treatment/ Vee carries Masha]] after they fake getting hurt during a soccer game, which leads Masha to asking Vee out on a date.
* BringIt: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w64owu/skara_the_planner/ "Skara the Planner"]], Skara is planning Eda and Raine's wedding, and tries to cover all her bases. Everything seemingly goes well, until Boscha informs her that Hooty's eaten half the food and is swimming in the punch, which from there, [[DisasterDominoes problems keep mounting]]. Skara's only reaction? "...Bring it on."
* BringMyBrownPants: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vbcv94/trapped/ When Jacob Hopkins attempts to capture Vee and bring her to the authorities]], she transforms and declares she'll feast on his bowels. Jacob says he needs those before running away.
* BrutalHonesty: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w2tgee/mittens/ Emira doesn't hold back]] when Alador asks her and Edric if he's a bad father, adding they know he's trying to be better.
* BullSeeingRed: In "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rda6yy/spider_bull/ Spider Bull]]", Willow assures Amity that the aforementioned creature is peaceful unless it sees the color red... right when Luz chooses to kiss Amity, making her blush.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: Both versions of the Golden Guard shown on [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tfjaib/youre_watching_emperors_coven_channel/ crystal ball]] do this, the western animation version directly referencing the TropeNamer and the anime version referencing Anime/SailorMoon.
* CactusCushion: When Boscha falls off a ladder while putting up decorations outside of Hexside, Willow conjures up some plants underneath her to cushion her fall. Unfortunately for Boscha, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649173402272284673 this trope comes into play.]]
-->'''Boscha:''' (''angry and in agony, while Luz and Willow remove the cactus needles and bandage her'') [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You. Did that. On purpose.]]\\
'''Willow:''' Sorry, but those are the softest plants around.
* CanonMarchesOn: Happens fairly often, as Mark's comics are created alongside the actual series as it comes out. As a result, details appear that are contradictory to what happens in canon, such as Lilith using a time-traveling spell as opposed to Luz and her seeking out time pools or the impostor being actively malicious and being able to access the Demon Realm as opposed to being a scared basilisk who simply took over Luz's life because it was overall better than her earlier life.
** An example of this would be one take of how Eda and King met; [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/nkqh18/moringmark_a_new_friendship/ this comic]] has King meet Eda in present day Bonesborough over splitting her lunch and drumming up business for her human junk stand before deciding to stay with her, when "Echoes of the Past" revealed that she found him as an infant 8 years ago on an island far off the Isles' coast.
** This [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qj25ap/moringmark_a_new_friend/ comic]] shows Willow befriending Gus due to the latter trying to help her pass an abomination class assignment using his illusions and getting in trouble for it, a contrast to Willow helping Gus out of a panic attack when they were younger in "Labyrinth Runners".
** Also happens in the comics itself as it makes new strips that focus on those reveals. For example, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rzt5nf/fishing_trip/ Vee is shown going on a fishing trip with Manny]], but later on he would be revealed as having died some time ago.
** Many of the comics made post-"King's Tide" but pre-"For the Future" that are set on the Collector ruled Boiling Isles are strikingly different from what would eventually be shown; The landscape is reduced to an endless sandy desert rather than more colorful, more child-geared. The Collector simply forces whoever they come across to play games instead of turning them into dolls/puppets for their role-play with King. Eda leads a nomadic resistance movement that consists of many characters who are either under the Collector's thumb, are holed up in Hexside, or are presumed to be turned into his toys.
* CantHoldHerLiquor: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x9wadt/birthday_gift/ On Luz's 21st birthday,]] Eda gifts her some apple blood, now that she is of legal drinking age. It takes only one shot for Luz to get wasted enough to drunkenly admire Amity's many qualities very audibly to her girlfriend and fall over briefly before getting back up, to Amity's embarrassment, anguish, annoyance, and Eda's disappointment.
* CassandraTruth:
** Eda [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rjy4rj/no_one_will_believe_you/ abuses this]] to get away with being found by an aircraft pilot, telling them via Etch-a-sketch that they'd sound insane for telling their superiors that the detected UFO was a woman flying a broomstick through the air. The pilot simply says the UFO was a weather balloon to call off the search.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x38f0x/family/ Boscha tries to tell her mothers]] about Belos' plans to kill them all using the Draining Spell, but they dismiss it despite her protests, not acknowledging it until Belos activates it on the Day of Unity, at which point they are forced to admit to Boscha that she was right.
* Catch22Dilemma: Played with in that it's Amity who sees someone else's options like this. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11wjmrr/illusion_of_choice/ Hunter talks about]] whether he would want Camila or Darius as his legal guardian, but when he brings up both options, Amity realizes that eventually, Hunter would still be her brother in some way,[[note]]If Camila becomes Hunter's guardian, Luz and Amity getting married would make Hunter Amity's brother-in-law, and if Darius becomes Hunter's guardian, Alador and Darius getting married would make Hunter Amity's step-brother[[/note]] leading to a massive SpitTake from her.
* CatharticCrying: "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u4jjbp/letting_it_out/ Letting It Out]]", which is set after the ending of "Reaching Out", has Amity comforting Luz and telling her to not bottle up her feelings to the people she loves. She's soon cut off as Luz starts crying and falls silent as she continues to hold her.
* CatsAreMean: Ghost can be mean when she wants, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pkbx02/scars/ as Hunter experiences firsthand]].
* CaughtMonologuing: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w4hf5n/abomatron/ In "Abomatron"]], Kikimora, now working for the Collector, arrives to [[{{Pun}} collect]] Eda and everyone else. Unfortunately for Kiki, she opens her Abomatron's cockpit, and while she's ranting, Eda [[CombatPragmatist shoots her with a sleeping dart]].
-->'''Kikimora:''' [[CurseCutShort You mother]]-\\
''(faceplants on the ground)''
* ChewOutFakeOut: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12yka61/comment/jhnmado/ Hunter ends up getting called to Hexside]] after his daughter hit her RageBreakingPoint in a fight with a bully and beat up half of the student body. He seems annoyed at first, only to admit that he's very proud of her.
* ChildishPillowFight: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662672349391437824 Luz starts one with Amity and Hunter]], but the latter two soon go after each other in actual combat that ends with them buried in feathers.
* CloneArmy: In several comics such as [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/650260565443461120 this one]], the Emperor's Coven has all their foot soldiers be clones of Steve, all of whom are named Steve. Belos even refers to them as his 'Steve Army' a few times.
* CoffeeShopAUFic: One strip, aptly named [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vy3x92/hollow_mind_but_like_coffee_shop_au_or_something/ "Hollow Mind but, like, Coffee Shop AU or something"]], has Luz and Hunter working in a coffee shop with Philip as their senior coworker. Philip [[BitchInSheepsClothing acts like a caring and encouraging mentor to Hunter]], but is really faking so he can convince Bump to hand the coffee shop to him and then sell it to a big corporation. [[RightBehindMe At least until he finds out that Luz and Hunter had overheard his evil monologue]].
* ColonyDrop: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yxr2n2/running_out_of_time/ "Running Out of Time"]], the Hexsquad returns to the Boiling Isles, only to discover the Collector found Eda's video game collection and, taking inspiration from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', gave the moon his split face and pulled it from the sky. They now have only two days ([[LeaningOnTheFourthWall episodes]]) left to stop them before the moon crashes into the Boiling Isles and destroys it.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661675783000080384 At one point]], Amity asks Luz to identify the flavor of her lip gloss while puckering her lips. Luz's response is to eye Amity's lips before asking Willow if she knows the flavor. After Willow states, that she doesn't know, [[LateToTheRealization it takes about a minute for it to click]] what Amity was attempting to insinuate.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u49n51/crush/ Raine tells Eda]] they have a crush on someone studying potions with long, puffy hair, talent in grudgby, and whose last name begins with "C". A shocked Eda assumes Raine likes Lilith instead of her.
* CommonalityConnection:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tbrn1d/the_intruder/ After a rocky first meeting]], Hunter and Hooty bond over their shared feelings of being unappreciated.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u0j1wn/aladors_blessing/ This ends up being the reason why]] Luz received Alador's blessing to date Amity. Alador was as socially inept and ObliviousToLove regarding Odalia's feelings for him as Luz was in the human realm and with Amity's crush on her: he sees a kindred spirit in her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vubg0l/vee_and_hunter/ After Vee brushes off all of Hunter's attempts to help her]] and she accuses him of feeling indebted to her, he confesses she's right and that he's trying so hard because they were both created by Belos as expendable tools. This gets Vee to be a little open to accepting his help.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zuadlq/after_all_these_years/ After the Day of Unity]], Darius and Alador come across Odalia working as a FortuneTeller and charging loads of snails for it. Darius asks if Alador misses her, and after he confirms he doesn't, the two share a moment of solidarity in both hating Odalia.
* ComplimentFishing: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sfiwgk/moringmark_a_good_and_happy_boy/ This comic]] shows Hunter faking his death in order to get a few compliments from Luz and Amity. Too bad for him Luz catches on and decides to pull a BatmanGambit by slapping him.
* CompulsiveLiar: One of Luz's habits that the Collector [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ud490h/emotions/ inherits when he steals her body]] is a need to lie about their struggles so people don't worry about them.
* ConeOfShame: Hooty needs to wear one [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qjqyyt/the_cone_of_shame/ in one comic]] after he scratches himself too much, but refuses to go along with it. Luz manages to get him to wear one by dressing up as Kikimora for Halloween.
* ContinuityNod: Comics created during the post-season 2 hiatus do have a loose sense of continuity. For example, most Earthside comics set after "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wtjzlx/blending_in/ Blending In]]" show the Hexsquad using concealment stones that Gus made to hide their ears in public, ones featuring Eda that came out after "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w64owu/skara_the_planner/ Skara the Planner]]" usually have her wearing a wedding band, comics set after "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xk5q6k/feeding_time/ Feeding Time]]" will occasionally show a palisman being fed through absorbing nutrients from a pot like plants.
* ContrivedCoincidence:
** {{Parodied|Trope}} in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1177d60/postending/ "Post-Ending"]]. When Luz and Amity go to a book signing for ''The Good Witch Azura'', they meet the author, Mildred Featherwhyle, with Luz thanking her for changing their lives and revealing Amity is a real witch to her. Mildred then proceeds to reveal that ''she's'' also a witch from the Boiling Isles too, had moved to the Human Realm after Belos banned Wild Magic, has her own portal door, and owns a research paper written by Philip called "How to befriend the Collector in 5 simple steps". Luz is left exasperated that there was someone who had everything they needed the entire time, and they just happened to be the author of her favorite book series.
--->'''Luz:''' [[RageBreakingPoint You had solutions to all our problems this whole time?!]]\\
'''Amity:''' Luz, breathe.
** Happens again in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12fmyql/once_a_fan/ "Once A Fan..."]]. Luz and Amity's child finds one of their old ''Good Witch Azura'' books, and after Luz talks about moving on after the series ended ([[RippedFromTheHeadlines a nod to the fact that the comic was uploaded the same day as the series finale of the show these characters are from]]), Amity bursts in screaming to let her wife know that more ''Azura'' media was just announced, much to their collective joy.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment:
** After Luz, Amity, Gus, Willow, and King [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/unn1rs/interrogation/ capture a Scout Captain,]] they try threatening to throw him into the Boiling Sea, melting him with King's sonic attack, dismemberment by vines, and experiencing an illusion of his worst nightmare. When he's unfazed by all of those, Luz decides to put him through something far worse: [[spoiler:lame jokes from Hooty]]. Cue the Captain begging for mercy and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone the kids all becoming horrified at what they are doing to him]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v9jyjl/belos_punishment/ After capturing and bottling Philip in a jar while in the human world]], Hunter and Willow are furious to learn that he killed his own brother for [[DisproportionateRetribution falling in love with a witch]]. So they get back at him by "acting" like they're dating, even holding hands to rub it in.
* CripplingOverspecialization: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tnnhqf/willow_vs_terra/ While Terra is far more skilled at plant magic than Willow, she's helpless in hand-to-hand combat,]] [[CurbStompBattle as the physically fit Willow demonstrates]].
* CrushBlush: As is to be expected, Luz and Amity multiple times. Willow and Hunter get plenty of these post-"King's Tide" on Earth, & Vee and Masha also share one when they get together.
* CrushFilter:
** After insisting she and Hunter are JustFriends, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vnghye/crush_filter/ Luz explains she'll see when the sparkles and bubbles appear]]. Willow doesn't think it's real, but after Hunter protects her from a ladybug, she suddenly sees it around him, and realizes Luz was right.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10gxng3/in_ultrahd_4k/ Willow gets some new perscription glasses from an optometrist]]. While everyone looks extremely detailed, Hunter in particular looks ruggedly handsome to her now.
* CueTheFlyingPigs: Boscha says [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1118vto/how_about_now/ she'll stop calling Willow "half-a-witch" when pigs fly]]. When Luz using Stringbean doesn't get her to say it, Eda kicks Tibbles over their heads.
* CultureClash: In the Human Realm, exchanging jewelry is simply a friendly gesture or a cute thing between couples. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12xgr4n/just_roll_with_it_masha/ In the Demon Realm, it's basically a marriage proposal]].
* CurbStompBattle: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10xvfci/they_are_pretty_op/ On one occasion]], Jacob attempts to fight the Hexsquad, Masha, King and the Collector wearing his armor and armed with a taser. They break every bone in his body and he ends up in a [[BandageMummy full-body cast]].
* CurseCutShort: During Willow's CatharticCrying [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10kz8vo/letting_it_out/ moment under Hexside,]] Willow lets out more of her emotional hangups, including how she feared how Hunter was on the verge of death at the cemetery, and particularly how she was tired of getting bullied by Boscha. She then starts using an F word before we [[DistantReactionShot cut to]] a surprised Luz and Camila out in the woods, a shocked [[JawDrop Boscha]], Amity, and Matt in another tunnel, a stunned Lilith and Eda with King in front of them, and Belos-possessed Puppet Raine and Collector in his bedroom who are both perplexed by what they just heard.
-->'''Willow:''' '''''BOSCHA CAN GO F-'''''\\
''(reaction shots)''\\
'''The Collector:''' Woah, that's the loudest swear word I've ever heard!
* CuteMonsterGirl: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yj9gfh/demon/ When]] some trick or treaters question Vee's "costume", they don't believe she's actually a demon because "Demons aren't supposed to be cute". This statement moves Vee so much, the next panel shows her [[TearsOfJoy wiping away some of her tears]] after giving away all the candy in the bowl she had to the three trick or treaters.
* CutenessOverload: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s0lmox/meeting_ghost/ When Luz meets Ghost for the first time]], she can't help taking pictures on her phone every time the palisman does something adorable. Unfortunaltely she takes so many that eventually, the battery dies.
-->'''Amity:''' Don't worry. My dad'll make you a battery of some sort.
* CutenessProximity:
** Eda uses King's cuteness to distract the Coven scouts while [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/657236531379044352 she steals the Palistrom wood for Luz]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/udh01a/beast_keeping_on_earth/ Viney's reaction]] to Luz unleashing a group of chow chows on her as a beast for her to tame.
--->'''Viney:''' {{Squee}}! You look like a wittle marshmallow rain cloud! (gets licked by the chow chow she's holding) So that's how you treat emotional scars.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vzpfg5/baby_outfit/ While searching through Luz's old clothes]], Amity becomes captivated by an otter costume Manny had her wear as a baby and has Ghost wear it so she and Luz can take pictures.
** When Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wg1zlz/basilisk/ introduces the Hexsquad to Vee]], Willow, Gus, and Amity gush over how adorable she is for a basilisk, subverting her belief that they'd be afraid of her. However, their invasive attention makes her wish they did.
--->'''Vee:''' Heeelp meee... ''(Gus pats her head, Willow hugs her, and Amity takes a picture of them on her scroll)''\\
'''Luz:''' Aww, see? They aren't scared of you.\\
'''Vee:''' Noooo! This is worse!
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12d1fq5/first_met/ "First Met"]] has Luz introducing King to Stringbean. King gets jealous of her when Luz calls her the cutest, and tries to assert that he's cuter, before Stringbean turns into a copy of Francois. King hugs her and concedes.
--->'''King:''' Now listen here... Stringbean. We both know who's the cutest one here- That would be- ''(sees Stringbean-Francois)'' You... shall be Francois's little sister.
* CuttingTheKnot: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/otciy5/under_control/ Kikimora tries to immobilize Lilith with her coven sigil]], however, due to the curse she's simply able to remove the hand the sigil is on.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/umv9wi/hugging_lesson/ Gus tries to coach Hunter on how to properly hug with Edric volunteering,]] but he reflexively ends up attacking Edric with his hand-to-hand combat techniques.
* DanceBattler: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11261c4/shall_we/ "Shall We?"]] has Hunter and Willow pull off their own version of Luz and Amity's Grom dance, with Belos in place of Grometheus.
* DarkerAndEdgier:
** An alternate version of the Owl House is occasionally shown based on an earlier concept for the show, which was darker than what we have now, with Hooty being a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/672456821968142336 much more feral predator]] that proclaims upon meeting Luz that he sees her as a thing to both play with and eat. This is still played for laughs regardless. [[DeadAllAlong Also the Demon Realm in this version might be]] [[{{Hell}} the ACTUAL demon realm]].
** One even has a ContentWarning placed in front of it. It shows the creation of Hunter from his perspective as he wakes up earlier than Belos or the Collector expected, and starts screaming in horror at the sight of [[{{Squick}} his body being nothing but muscle]]. The final page reveals it to be a nightmare Hunter is having before he gazes at the scars on his hands, implying a connection between the two.
** As of the Season 2 finale, most comics have been split between the Hexsquad's experiences on Earth and the witches' survival in the Collector's remade Boiling Isles. That said, there have still been comedic strips in the Boiling Isles.
* DatePeepers: When [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uavdah/spying_spot/ Willow and Hunter are on a date,]] Gus tries spying on them, only to find Darius doing the same next to him. They proceed to argue who should have the current spot they are at and get into a WimpFight that gives their presence away to the daters, who uncomfortably try to pretend that they are still unaware.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Played straight with Odalia and initially downplayed and eventually subverted with Alador with respect to Lumity. The former clearly does not like the fact that her daughter is dating Luz the human and spends multiple appearances in the comics trying to break up the young couple. Alador, in one strip, is content with letting them date but makes clear that he does not fully approve of the relationship until a conversation with Luz causes him to realize they aren't that different, after which he gives his full blessing to the couple.
** Hunter and Willow use this to their advantage in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v9jyjl/belos_punishment/ another comic.]] When they capture the remains of [[TheWitchHunter Belos]] in a jar, their method of torture is to tell him that they're dating and make a show of holding hands in front of him.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: Willow and Gus [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uzb8uu/counterparts/ once knew]] someone named Lusine, a witch who looked very similar to Luz and was just as gung-ho about trying new things, as it turned out [[UndignifiedDeath she apparently died a year ago after downing two bottles of human soda and a handful of mints]].
-->'''Willow:''' (somberly) She was so young.\\
'''Luz:''' (horrified) Yup, definitely sounds like me.
* DeadAllAlong: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/664393691989000192 One strip]] in the Alpha world has Belos explain to Luz that the "Demon Realm" is actually some form of Hell and that the portal door Luz remembered entering through was actually the headlight of an oncoming car that ran her over after running off in the rain and tripping on the curb. Also counts as DeathOfAChild.
* DeadpanSnarker: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/107f2xq/snarkiness/ Turns out Gus mastered being one]] from watching Amity. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to keep from mouthing off to the wrong person.
* DeathByDespair: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662038170582532096 In this comic]], after its companion dies, the Titan falls near its final resting place, eventually decaying into the Boiling Isles.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vo9386/making_amends/ In this strip]], as Hunter delivers the final blow to Belos, Belos finds himself as Philip Wittebane meeting Caleb in a state of limbo. Caleb, despite being murdered by Philip centuries ago, still hasn't given up on saving his brother's soul and offers him a chance to make amends. Philip, moved by this offer, takes it and the scene cuts to Belos in the real world dying, apologizing to Caleb for everything he has done.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t0bq9g/moringmark_the_kissing_game/ The Kissing Game]]" depicts Luz trying to score a point in a game where she and Amity sneak up on each other to give surprise kisses, yet it's difficult to sneak up on Amity. She manages to get a point when Gus tricks Amity with an illusion of Luz and [[SoreLoser Amity internally takes it hard]].
* DejaVu:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zqp9d4/cat/ Amity]] gets this feeling when she sees Luz manage to charm an angry cat after a few seconds when she was initially hostile towards her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zfzq5g/deja_vu/ This comic]] showing Luz trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop pretty much speaks for itself with its title.
* DelayedReaction: When Belos gets hit with a flaming arrow, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xj9l8v/graveyard/ he doesn't start screaming until his whole arm starts catches fire]].
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vryj3d/compliments/ After]] being praised for learning how to drive in a single day, Hunter starts to do more chores around the house in order to get more compliments from Camila.
-->'''Camila:''' Your friend really likes doing chores.\\
'''Luz:''' Nah, he just doesn't get compliments often, ...or at all.
* DestroyTheEvidence: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654699816211922945 When Luz donates her Azura Vol. 5 to the library]], Amity finds a drawing of Luz as "Luzura". Luz sees the back of the page has a drawing of Amity saving her from an Abomaton, and proceeds to eat the paper right as Amity turns it around.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vlw60t/willow_with_a_dark_side/ "Willow with a Dark Side"]], when Gus describes the Gympie-Gympie plant, Willow fantasizes about using it to torture Boscha, into leaving them alone. She then notices her friends staring at her with horrified expressions, prompting her to ask this trope. They immediately confirm it in unison.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Belos tells Luz how he can see her through the scrying potion to freak her out. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654428028904030208 Luz then plays the tuba when he's trying to sleep.]]
** While Luz and Amity initially [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/shvwvt/moringmark_theyre_dressing_up_and_traveling/ decide to go to Paris]] while exploring the human realm, Luz realizes that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome flying at thirty miles per hour on her staff will take forever to make the thirty-five-thousand mile trip]], so they decide to go to New York instead.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vywksq/first_date/ When Hunter prepares for his first date with Willow]], he spends an hour on his hair, forgetting he still needs to hide his ears, making it AllForNothing.
** The Collector possesses Luz, only to end up mentally paralyzed by her emotional state.
** {{Lampshaded}} [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w5bceh/didnt_think_this_through/ by the title of this comic]], where Belos realizes too late that by purging all the magic out of his body, the five magic users can [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown effortlessly beat down]] on the now powerless old man.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ycc0jw/shes_finemostly/ Belos possesses Odalia]] to fight the Hexsquad in an attempt to traumatize Amity. He completely fails to account for the fact that Amity had completely disowned her mother and gets mercilessly beat up as a result.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yzci6a/couch/ Eda and Luz are having difficulty getting Eda's couch back into the Owl House]], since it's too wide to get through the front door. Luz gets the idea to pull it through the window upstairs. It works... but the couch is ''still'' too wide to fit through the doors.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11xhpzy/embrace_the_anarchy/ Odalia]] attempts to kick her family out of the manor after the Collector is dealt with, but Amity points out that since the Emperor's Coven was just overthrown, the contract she has is essentially null and void. She then tries to threaten the family using her Abomatons, only for Amity to easily disable them. She predictably gets stuck face first to a tree in Abomination goo while the others take back the manor.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/121mpy2/rock_paper_scissors/ To earn Lilith's freedom]], the Collector lets King choose a game to play. King chooses Rock, Paper Scissors. They get through two rounds before they both realize this won't work since King only has two fingers, making it impossible to tell what sign King throws.
* DidYouGetANewHaircut: The PeekABangs kid says this as Vee reveals her true form.
* DieOrFly: Downplayed. Upon returning to the human world, Luz has broken several school records during gym class. When Principal Hal asks how she got so strong, Luz remarks that it's due to summer camp. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/116axid/more_like_boot_camp/ What really happened]] was that she poked a werewolf in the Boiling Isles and wound up running, swimming and cycling away from it.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: The Titan's canine companion had been fatally injured by a wild canine Titan, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662038170582532096 dying]] as the Titan holds its head gently.
* DistractedByTheSexy:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ Titan Luz, King, and the Hexsquad prepare to fight the Archivists]]... except for Amity, who's too distracted by her girlfriend's Titan form.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12zih38/picnic/ After a tiring day at the University of Wild Magic]], Eda wants to go on a picnic with Raine, but they decline as they're still working on the sigil removal procedure, and ask to reschedule.

''(Raine glares)''\\
''(later)''\\
'''Eda:''' Yay!\\
'''Raine:''' ''(blushing)'' I...I couldn't concentrate.
* DoesntKnowTheirOwnBirthday: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/679160997608620032 One comic]] shows Hunter never knew his own birthday because Belos never told him when it was, and he never bothered to ask. After learning this, Luz, along with Willow and Gus, decides to throw a little surprise party for Hunter. While he's unhappy at first, he eventually starts to enjoy himself and decides that he will celebrate his birthday every year on the same day as the party.
* DontAsk:
** Amity has an abomination that follows her around and imitates her every move. When she tries swatting a fly, she lifts her book when it lands and tries to slam her book on it. Unfortunately, the abomination does the same and ends up whacking Amity [[CranialEruption herself on the head.]] Luz notices it, prompting Amity to [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/644915343742140416 respond with this trope]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p30gca/moringmark_dont_ask/ One comic]] is actually named this. During their battle at Eclipse Lake, Hunter gloats at how Amity can't land a hit on him while he's teleporting around her. The last time, she figures out where he'll be and hits him in the face with a frying pan. When he delivers the portal key to Belos who inquires about the new gap in his teeth, Hunter says he doesn't want to talk about it.
* DoofyDodo:
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ux3gcd/egg/ one comic]], Luz's Palisman egg hatches into this. While Amity assumes she would be disappointed, Luz loves it.
** The Collector [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/119ye9q/clingy/ finds one of these]] during a "game" Luz set up. Luz confesses that she only did it because of how clingy the Collector has been lately, and while the two have a heart-to-heart about spending time together, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Amity is seen trying to keep the bird at bay]].
* DoubleTake:
** After Luz, Willow, and Gus get expelled, Amity breaks her pencil in the middle of a class. Just then the image of Luz in the banned poster next to her hands Amity a pencil. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/652978473721315328 Amity accepts it before realizing where she got the pencil.]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u33vdv/double_take/ The title of one of Mark's comics,]] which also features an example. As Camila and Vee look at the flowers they got for Manny's death anniversary, the cheerleader girl walks by, only barely noticing Vee in her basilisk form before she switches back to Luz's appearance.
* DramaticIrony: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tuv3r9/a_peek_into_the_future_round_2/ Amity finds a time pool]] and sees Luz making out with a purple-haired girl, pissing her off, unaware that it's actually her future self.
* EarWorm: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rcik1y/moringmark_the_most_annoying_thing_of_christmas/ Luz sneaks into the Emperor's Coven with a speaker]] and puts Music/MariahCarey's "Make My Wish Come True" ("All I Want For Christmas") on a loop. Within a day, the castle succumbs to anarchy.
* EasilyForgiven:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/671550852088102912 One evening when King invites the rest of Eda's family over for dinner,]] Dell tells Eda he was never mad at her for the Owl Beast attacking him. He tells her that ''she'' needs to forgive herself for what happened, and she promises to try.
** Lilith's Palisman still remembers Eda threw it into a wall in "Agony of a Witch", [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tvaup1/liliths_palisman/ and promises that she will be the first witch to die in the Palismen Revolution]]. Lilith tells her it's hungry and Eda feeds it wood seeds. It decides she will live another day.
--->'''Raven Palisman:''' Caaaw (I accept your offer.) Caww (You'll be spared-) Caaw (...for now.)
* EatTheBomb: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z2pur3/nuclear_solution/ After Belos is defeated but a nuclear bomb he made is still armed]], Luz and Amity seem resigned to dying via nuclear explosion. Eda however proceeds to draw an eye and legs on it, causing Hooty to show up and think it's a bug before swallowing it whole. After it blows up inside him, smoke starts coming out his beak as he looks more annoyed than anything.
-->'''Hooty:''' [[CaptainObvious That was no bug]].
* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Camila ends up [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uznxap/embarrassing_childhood_pictures/ showing a photo]] of Luz as a kid getting her head stuck in between some playground bars as a child among other photos in a photo album, much to Amity and Alador's amusement and Luz's embarrassment. After Amity wishes that she had embarrassing childhood photos like Luz's [[TemptingFate and mockingly laments she has none]], Alador then reveals that he actually has one that he never showed anyone before, picturing Amity as a baby making an angry blush with Alador holding a red fruit with a similar shape and shade of red as baby Amity's face, causing the current Amity to blush and groan in embarrassment while Luz and Camila coo over Amity as a baby.
* EntertaininglyWrong: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/689341836566872064 While Gus and Hunter go to get some ice cream by flying on their staffs]], Gus uses an illusion spell to disguise themselves by making it look like the two are just birds like the ones he read in a book. The only problem is said "birds" are ''pterodactyls'' so the two end up accidentally terrorizing the other citizens.
* EntitledBastard: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uewwmh/youre_welcome/ After explaining]] to a Wendy's cashier in the human realm why he is entitled to receive free coffee (in the form of his plans for the Day of Unity), Belos responds aggressively when the cashier insists on the expired status of his coupon.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Luz expects Odalia, Amity's snobby, sociopathic ControlFreak mother [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qncocv/mrs_blight to discourage her from dating Amity on the fact that they're both girls, as she already has a history of unrequited same-sex crushes]]. Instead, Odalia disapproves of their relationship because Luz is poor and not classy enough, and she's appalled that Luz would think her gender matters. It's a subtle reminder that homophobia doesn't exist in the Boiling Isles, and a reminder that causes Luz, having been shamed for her bisexuality in the Human Realm, to tear up and hug Odalia's arm, much to the latter's confusion.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/105pnxq/evil_has_standards/ An appropriately named comic]] has Odalia, Belos, and Tibbles playing cards in a BadGuyBar. After listing their crimes, they ask what the fourth person did. They reveal they're the one who leaked "For the Future". All three of them are rightfully terrified.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10jd4e6/titan/ After Odalia talks about how she'd exploit people's faith in King as a Titan to take over the Isles and become as rich as possible]], King asks the Collector to turn her into a puppet. The Collector's response is "Ew, no."
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: In the first page of "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sav5k0/graceful/ Graceful]]", Selene is hinted to be attracted to Emira.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11g3h0o/weapon_of_choice/ When Matt demonstrates how to use a blender, thinking it's a weapon to destroy your enemy's fists]], Skara and Boscha both look disgusted and horrified, and Boscha immediately seconds Skara's suggestion to ban it.
* EveryoneKnewAlready:
** Luz tries to find the best way to tell her mother that she and Amity are in a relationship. By the time she decides on the video montage, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z61wi5/letting_camila_know/ Camila knows due to all the romantic moments she saw the girls having but still wants to see the video]].
** After Stringbean hatches, Luz introduces her to her mom, her friends [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and "the most annoying dude in the world"]]. When she tries to introduce Amity, Stringbean tells Luz she knows who she is already, to Luz's confusion. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10th19w/247/ While Stringbean was still an egg, Luz and Amity made a game out of who could top the other's "I love you"s, to the point of annoying her before she was even born.]]
* EvilIsPetty: Hunter questions how Amity is always able to counter his teleport dash. Amity reveals that [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/101d975/countermeasure/ back when she was Lilith's student, she specifically taught her how to listen for the resulting airflow]]. Given how much Lilith dislikes Hunter and her smug face in the flashback, she presumably did this out of spite.
* ExactWords:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/645368328947367937 Eda promises]] she won't let go of her staff while Luz learns how to fly: she detached her hand but since she didn't let go, it counts.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/675990105822019584 After returning to the Human Realm, Luz is never to return to the Demon Realm.]] However, Camila never said anything about the Demon Realm coming to Luz, as the Owl House gang come over to the Nocedas home quickly afterwards. When Luz asks why she didn't say so in the first place, Camila says this is what Luz gets for lying to her the whole summer.
** The PeekABangs kid got sent to Camp Reality Check because, in his words, he wanted to "be chill, all day, every day, 24/7 doing nothing, literally." [[SarcasmBlind Vee]] refuses to believe him because she imagines this trope is in play, citing that he's still doing things like breathing. [[TooDumbToLive He decides to take her up on this]] and show her that he can do literally nothing.
** Camila assumed Luz wanted to dress as ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} for Halloween, however, she meant [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/slybtw/costume/ a bat girl]] (as in a girl dressed in a baseball bat outfit).
** In a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s6y838/moringmark_oh_noanyways/ Human College AU]], Odalia pays Luz to make sure Amity doesn't go out with any boys. Not that she was going to anyways; she's a lesbian and already going out with Luz. Luz just says Odalia paid her to make sure Amity didn't cheat on her with any boys when Amity asks.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y8z1tk/car_key/ When asked by Vee how they already knew that she previously disguised herself as Luz]], Masha revealed that when Jacob was fired, they got access to his surveillance footage, his notebook, his [=MewTube=] account, everything. Emphasis on the ''everything'', as it included his car as well.
** When [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/115fxvp/dont_worry_they_survived/ the Collector was about to break Luz's game console in response to losing again]], Luz tells him that breaking things is bad and to break something small if he really wants to vent his frustration. One seemingly innocent finger snap later, a confused Luz asks what exactly the Collector broke. His reply?
--->'''Collector:''' Meh, just some '''atoms'''. ''(cue nuclear explosion)''
* ExplainExplainOhCrap:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654518622908235776 One comic]] has Luz recording a video of herself telling her mom about Amity. As she talks about how she feels weird around Amity and how Amity is pretty and cute, she suddenly [[LoveEpiphany puts two and two together]].
--->'''Luz:''' Okay, something is weird. It's just... I've been nervous around Amity this whole morning. I guess... I'm just a bit starstruck? After all, she's so brave, and talented, and classy- ...And beautiful and cute and- ...Uh-oh.
** A rare example of a character doing this while already upset. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vwvshw/dont_do_this_at_home/ While]] chastizing Luz for forging documents for her witch friends, Camila realizes that everything she said Luz had to do in order to properly forge said documents was already done.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xzmd5f/to_the_zoo/ When Luz explains the concept of a zoo to Viney,]] she realizes that she may have [[SayingTooMuch said too much]] to the animal-loving witch with beast keeeping capabilities.
* ExtremeOmnivore: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uj9ni6/bat_queen/ Hunter]] learns that he is one when he went to stay with the Bat Queen, who promptly force-fed him a ''book''.
-->'''Hunter:''' ...aaand that's why I decided to stay here instead.\\
'''Willow:''' Huh, I thought Grimwalkers were part Palistrom wood?\\
'''Hunter:''' Yeah, that book was delicious. ...but that's beside the point.
* EyeScream: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xuk947/not_again/ A Titan's attempt to feed its baby]] goes wrong when it accidentally pokes the baby in the eye with the baby bottle.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vpsexn/spilling_it_all_out/ Darius graciously accepts the apology]] from the other Coven Heads when they realize the Day of Unity was meant to kill them all. He also calls it "a bummer", but is content that he at least tried to stop it.
* FaceDoodling: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p2ejkp/revenge/ Luz does this to Hunter as payback]] for threatening her life to get the portal key from Amity.
* FacePalm: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/642016240929488896 In one strip,]] Luz finds the other half of Amity's Grom note when it blows into her face. However, she reads it upside-down, thinking that it says "Znf". Cue Willow, Gus, Skara, Boscha, Belos, and even Camila (who is in the human realm and is completely unaware of Luz's error) responding with this trope, while Amity sighs in relief after tensing up for a moment.
* FaceYourFears: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lcga37/moringmark_coming_home/ After returning to the Human Realm]], Luz hesitates to enter her home and see her mother. Luckily, Amity joins her as to repay Luz for helping her face her own fears.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama:
** Belos tries to explain his plan in a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/651528922524172288/ classic dramatic villain monologue]] to Eda, Luz, and King when they confront him, only for Hooty to keep interrupting him with a joke, to the point where he screams and collapses in frustration while Luz offers her sympathies and pats him on the shoulder.
** His [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q8px7c/bank_heist/ attempt]] to task his scouts to reinforce the Titan's butt ends up not working, [[HehHehYouSaidX for obvious reasons.]]
* FailedASpotCheck: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w3n26x/family_photo/ At one point]] Camila and Luz had to trick Vee into noticing a family photo featuring her as it had been up for several hours and she'd missed it entirely.
* FairPlayWhodunnit: Parodied [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tjdf9m/whodunit/ in one strip]]. When Gus is investigating who could have killed Kikimora (she's just lying face down on the airship they are in with a dagger embedded in her back and in pain), Hunter arrives on the airship, pointing out that anyone can just come and go onto the ship using their staff, meaning anybody could be the murderer, much to Gus' horror. Meanwhile, behind him, the suspects (Luz, Amity, Eda, King, Willow, and Steve) [[EverybodyDidIt are each equipped with a weapon]] [[HyperspaceArsenal out of nowhere]], preparing to [[NoKillLikeOverkill take their turns killing Kikimora]].
-->'''Hunter:''' (to Steve) Can I join?\\
'''Kikimora:''' (Reaching out in agony) Help.
* FakeUltimateHero: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/667111601011359744 As King looks further along Tarak and the Titan Trappers' wall art]], it becomes clear that it was all just a SelfInsertFic.
* FanCreatedOffspring: Comics set post-series tend to depict Luz/Amity and Willow/Hunter as both having daughters, though only the latter is actually shown being any older than a toddler. Neither of them are ever given a name beyond Hunter calling the latter [[AffectionateNickname Pancake]]. [[note]]Fans tend to respectively refer to them as Azura and Ivy[[/note]]
* FearlessFool: Luz is regularly shown to be very fearless when it comes certain challenges... which ends up resulting in bodily harm for her. One such incident being [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vixllw/classic_luz/ "Classic Luz"]], where she attempts running up a track that loop-de-loops despite Amity practically ''begging'' her not to. She manages to turn upside down before gravity kicks in and she nearly breaks her neck, only avoiding any real injury thanks to Amity summoning some Abomination goo. When retelling the story to Camila later, Amity has to thank Camila for keeping her alive this long, with Camila asking Amity to keep doing the same.
* FightForTheLastBite: Hunter and Willow have [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vcv6fy/the_last_fry/ an arm wrestling match to decide who gets the last French fry]], though the twist is that since they were both offering the other to take it earlier, Willow winning the match means Hunter gets to eat it.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: Averted twice. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w202fd/tag/ In one comic,]] for a moment, the Collector almost does this to Skara, but Boscha manages to call a time-out before the Collector can touch her. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zan0rm/tag/ In another,]] the Collector is about to do the same to Amity, and [[HeroicSacrifice prompting Luz to jump in the way]]. Though the Collector does tap her on the nose, it ends up being harmless, as the god-child simply wishes to force people to play games with them forever, and goes to hide, as Luz is now "it". The girlfriends take advantage of the situation and leave the Collector in his hiding spot, pretending to struggle to find them.
* FlippingTheBird:
** It's not shown onscreen, but [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/po3dr7/moringmark_the_titans_will/ the Titan flips Belos off for deliberately mistranslating it.]] Belos is sure that it's a thumbs up.
** After capturing Stringbean, Belos tries to destroy her and absorb her essence. He fails when Stringbean turns into a hardshelled turtle, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10xdrn3/game_over/ and proceeds to rub it in]].
* FlowerPotDrop: Invoked by one of the guys bullying Hunter and Willow's daughter, who [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12yka61/getting_in_trouble/ throws a pot down onto her head]].
* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: If [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680248161510555648 this comic]] is anything to go by, Eda really will take up palisman carving from Dell one day.
* ForcedTransformation: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/m4uxyd/otter_luz/ an early comic]], Boscha turns Luz into an otter and Willow goes after her to make her reverse it.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: When Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u3tshl/inspiration/ demonstrates]] a 'make plummeting object float safely instead of going splat' (Safety Hover) glyph combo, Lilith expresses amazement and asks what inspired her to create it. At which point Luz wordlessly side-eyes the woman who hurled her off a bridge into a spike-lined abyss mere months ago.
-->'''Lilith:''' Oh, right. Forget I asked.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vi5xx3/halloween/ In one comic,]] while the other kids get ready for Halloween, Vee plans on going trick or treating in her regular basilisk form. In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yj9gfh/demon/ another comic]], Vee hands out candy to trick-or-treaters in basilisk form.
* ForWantOfANail:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/prwbue/alternate_ending/ An alternate ending for]] "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E7EdasRequiem Eda's Requiem]]" shows Eda and Raine escaping from Darius when King ends up vomiting all over him.
** "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vxbxd0/new_game/ New Game]]" has Luz petrified by Philip during the season 2 finale, with the latter escaping to the human realm after the Collector is freed. This causes Amity to go through a CynicismCatalyst, where she convinces the Collector to play "Hunt The Witch Hunter" and go after Philip by repairing the portal, then telling Willow to destroy it so she and the Collector will be trapped on the other side and keeping their loved ones safe.
* FoundFamily: As in canon, Amity prefers the inhabitants of the Owl House and their surrounding allies to her natural home, much to [[AbusiveParent Odalia's]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/th2zrv/yeah_why/ confusion]].
* FreudianExcuse:
** Boscha used to be a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/672819209740451841 victim of bullying herself,]] due to being a three-eyed half-demon half-witch hybrid, so she decided to start fighting back with verbal assault to make sure nobody would mess with her ever again. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qe5nu1/moringmark_from_a_bully_to_a_friend/ On another occasion]], Willow realizes Boscha keeps bullying her because she's jealous that Willow seems to be better at everything than her.
** In one comic, it's implied that Odalia [[TheChainOfHarm suffered through the same kind of abuse]] [[TroubledAbuser she puts through Amity]]; just as she was about to slap her daughter, she sees Luz come to her defense. That triggers a flashback in which a younger Alador did the same thing for her. Realizing what she was about to do, she starts crying and eventually leaves the room.
* FreudianSlip:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/642650420235419648 Luz finds out]] about Amity's feelings for her while reading an ''Azura'' fanfiction she wrote, because Amity accidentally wrote down Luz's name instead of Azura's when narrating her OC's secret crush.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oktgc6/moringmark_concentrating_is_hard/ When Luz is demonstrating how to use a glyph combo to form an ice cube]], Amity shows up to greet Luz. Luz ends up conjuring a statue of her and Amity dancing. Cue them blushing.
--->'''Amity''': (blushing) Am I interrupting something?\\
'''Eda''': (amused) No no, this is getting interesting.
** While [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/684868606439374848 Luz relates]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uunpk1/a_snail_well_spent/ to Amity]] that in spite of the fact that there are multiple realms out there that she could of wandered into and many people she could have met, in the end, it was Amity she met and fell in love with, Amity is charmed by her speech and whispers to Luz to marry her in the heat of the moment. Luz doesn't fully pick up on it and asks for a repeat to which Amity nervously denies having said anything.
** When she discovers the glyph combination for Abomination magic, Amity holds Luz's hands to help her learn to mold the Abomination she created, but because Amity was so happy to be this close to Luz, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/smrvtj/now_playing_unchained_melody/ the Abomination started to trying to kiss her.]]
** As Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wecfk8/one_trip/ carries most of the groceries she, Camila, and Gus bought from the market]] she ends up saying the weight is about two-thirds of Amity's, so Camila figures her strength comes from carrying her girlfriend in her arms. To Luz's (initial) embarrassment, Gus proceeds to continuously make cracks about it until all their friends know, including Amity.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Boscha's aware she is this [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lmnihj/moringmar_picking_her_up/ to a degree once]]; after she gets drunk during Cat's birthday party, Cat calls Amity to come to pick her up since Skara and Amelia have already left. While under the influence, Boscha calls herself a loser since she had to be picked up by someone who doesn't even hang out with her anymore.
* FriendOrIdolDecision:
** "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s8jovv/moringmark_what_if_toh_was_a_telltale_game/ What if TOH was a Telltale game?]]" ends with one; Luz either gives Belos the portal key to save Amity's life or destroys it and let Belos kill her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xsw19y/divorce/ After their divorce]], Alador negotiates full custody of their children with Odalia, letting her keep the manor, Blight Industries, and all their profits from the company. Odalia also demands his bug collection, and Alador [[{{Downplayed}} very briefly]] considers it before Amity scolds him.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/645187134942330880 At one point]], Skara and Amelia make time to hang out with Luz and Willow for an afternoon instead of with Boscha.
** Discussed [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tslia2/excuse/ in one comic.]] Amity goes over to Willow's house to ask for advice on what she and Luz could do for their next date. When Willow asks why she would ask her about this, Amity admits she needed to find an excuse to hang out with her. Willow is more than happy to do so, and the two decide to have a sleepover that night.
* FunWithAcronyms: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11npzga/training_program/ Back when she was still at Hexside]], Eda was forced to help Principl Faust set up a training program for students, and Faust allowed Eda to pick a name for it. What name did she go with? Superb Hexside's Incredible Tournament, or SHIT. As soon as the name is revealed, most of the students start laughing.
* FurryReminder: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uq6q4m/boscha_and_severine/ While Boscha is bonding with Severine]], she finds the latter likes having her neck scratched, and even starts ''purring'' in response.
* FuzzTherapy: Stringbean tends to invoke this. In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/118zt1q/i_see_you/ one comic]], she turns into a cardinal for Hunter to nuzzle since Flapjack is gone and he now lacks a palisman. In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11up94u/stress_reliever/ another]], she takes a cloud-like form for Luz to squish when she draws a blank on her brainstorming to rebuild the Boiling Isles.
* TheGadfly: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ One comic]] has Luz and Amity acting sweet and affectionate around each other for the sake of annoying Boscha.
* GenreSavvy:
** The glasses kid chalks their [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qhnr1s/moringmark_reveeling_the_truth/ reaction]] to Vee being a basilisk to plot twist tolerance from writing fanfics with plots like this for years.
** Luz notes that Eda should be fine and the plan to sabotage the Draining Spell should go off without a hitch as long as she doesn't raise any death flags. She then proceeds to announce [[{{Retirony}} that this is her last mission before retirement]], ask Darius to [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee explain the plan in great detail for no particular reason]], [[FatalFamilyPhoto shows the CATS her family photos]], tells Luz she's taught her everything she knows and caps it all off by asking WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong, as Luz's confidence in her survival, naturally, [[OhCrap drops to near zero]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v5dxi8/genre_savvy/ A comic named this]] shows Luz to be genre savvy yet again, as when she and Amity go to investigate the shack and the sounds coming from it, the moment Belos' slime starts dripping from the ceiling Luz tells Amity not to look up, saying that the monster will only attack once they look up. With this in mind, they safely leave the shack with Belos unable to harm them.
--->'''Belos:''' Dang, she's good.
* GilliganCut: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ucp6h2/hearing_whispers/ When Darius questions if Raine is sure no one knows they're about to invade Belos' mind]], Raine assures him that no one knows and no one can hear them on the castle roof. We immediately cut to Hunter in his room below with a cup of coffee and an annoyed expression.
* GodGuise: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12n3cfo/not_technically_lying/ "Not Technically Lying"]], Vee tries to apply for Gravesfield High, but since she has no birth certificate and no legal documents of her existence, Principal Hal almost rejects her, until Hooty appears and declares that Vee attending the school is part of the almighty's plan, scaring Hal into accepting her. We see that they accomplished the HolyBacklight using a flashlight and Hooty was hiding in Vee's backpack.
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u75vli/moringmark_a_match_made_in_hell/ To get Principal Faust to lay off his strict rules]], Eda tries to set him up on a date with Terra Snapdragon. The two hit it off and Faust no longer rules Hexside with an iron fist... because he left to join Terra in tormenting children and abusing power across the Boiling Isles.
* GoodCopBadCop: Willow's parents [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/667383391985025024 act as this,]] as Harvey states that the more Willow hates him, the more she listens to Gilbert. Willow asks them to stop, saying she doesn't want to dislike either and doesn't like the idea of it.
* GoodParents: Amity promises her and Luz's daughter that she'll be one in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v646k2/promise/ this comic.]]
-->'''Amity:''' Look, I might not be the best mom in the world, but I promise I'll never hurt you. I'll never make you feel worthless, I'll teach you good morals, and at the same time, I'll let you make important decisions on your own. And most importantly ''[pecks the daughter on her head]'', I'll always be there when you need me.
* GossipEvolution: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11trwp7/dont_tell_anyone_but/ While discussing their relationship]], Willow reveals she already knew Hunter had a crush on her. He asks how that's possible. As it turns out, he talked about his confusion over his feelings for Willow to Flapjack, who mentioned it playing a card game with Ghost, which she mentioned to Emmiline Bailey Marcostimo, who eagerly told Clover. By that point the confusion part had been lost and Clover buzzes to Willow that Hunter definitely has a crush on her.
* GrammarNazi: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uemrnr/the_letter/ King asks Tarak why he didn't just send Eda a message instead of mailing a letter]]. He reveals that he ''did'' try that first, but Eda blocked him after she used "you're" instead of "your" in a sentence and he corrected her. King is exasperated.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Combined with SequelHook. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ "Ready for the Battle"]] depicts the Archivists as this, the Collector returning to the Boiling Isles to warn of their incoming arrival and declaring they need to keep them away from King, with the Hexsquad preparing for a major fight as a result... sans Amity who is too busy being [[DistractedByTheSexy enamored]] and having her JawDrop over seeing Luz [[spoiler:in her Titan form]].
* GroundhogDayLoop: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zfzq5g/deja_vu/ Luz traps herself]] in one after seeing Hooty [[ContinuityNod shedding his skin]]. Unfortunately, after taking a sip of a memory potion to erase the minute she saw Hooty to write a note for her to not look outside, the full minute passes, and she ends up entering the room, as the beginning demonstrates her [[FreezeFrameBonus coming out from a yellow cloud]], further showing that she has done this multiple times already.
* HairpinLockpick: Amity uses one [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/641744450536767488 when attempting to escape her room after Odalia grounds her and locks her inside]].

* HarmfulToMinors: Eda and King [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rpp2c9/the_eda_king_show/ put on a show for kids]] at the library where Eda smashes a watermelon while pretending it's King. The children are left traumatized and Amity forces the two to hold up signs saying what they did as punishment.
* HartmanHips:
** PlayedForLaughs in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qzn3xw/power_armor/ one comic,]] as they prevent Odalia from jumping in a MiniMecha to fight Luz for her blessing. Alador had made said armor for a younger Odalia and never updated it, much to her indignation.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12pgz50/bodies_change_and_thats_okay/ In "Bodies Change (And That's Okay)"]], Amity is preparing for a date with Luz and wants to wear a cute outfit from when they were younger, but gets distressed when she realizes she's too wide for it now. Luckily, after crying about it to Willow, she rushes over with Hunter, who uses his sewing skills to retailor the outfit for her new shape.
* HasTwoMommies: As seen in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vmny4j/apocalypse/ this comic]], the two unnamed female extras in "Them's The Breaks Kid" are Boscha's mothers.
* HauntingTheGuilty: PlayedForLaughs in the appropriately titled [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10nfqed/haunted/ "Haunted" comic]], where much like in "For the Future", Belos is haunted by the specter of his [[SiblingMurder murdered brother Caleb]]. Caleb comes out to haunt Belos while he's doing incredibly mundane tasks, such as using the bathroom or trying to watch "Bleeding Hearts" on a CrystalBall.
* HauteCuisineIsWeird: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10fl6ek/fancy_food/ one comic]], Camila questions why Amity, who came from a wealthy family, enjoys her common food so much. Amity then has a flashback to a dinner Odalia had served them that the chef claimed was the "finest food snails can buy"-a pitifully small meal of baby kraken tentacle, middle right toe of a wood troll and selkigris sauce.
* HealingHands:
** Viney's expertise in Healing magic is put to use in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ny8696/moringmark_freedom_at_last/ treating the wound of an injured dragon]].

He tries hiding with the invisibility spell he learned but is unable to do so before Hunter notices him.
-->'''Hunter:''' It seems you have trouble making yourself disappear... [[DeadlyEuphemism Need some help?]]
* HerBoyfriendsJacket: In the Demon Realm, couples exchange jewelry to further commit their relationship. So when Masha, not knowing this, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12xgr4n/just_roll_with_it_masha/ offers their earrings to Vee]], they basically proposed marriage to her. Vee gets extremely flustered, while Amity gasps in shock.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** Implied [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sl7o5l/moringmark_a_new_beginningas_well_as_an_end/ here]] with the Bat Queen, who is nowhere to be seen after fighting off the Emperor's Coven to keep them from stealing palismen in her forest.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qwqdo1/moringmark_once_upon_a_time/ Another comic]] implies that Luz lost her life defeating Emperor Belos once and for all.

* HiddenDepths:
** Luz repeatedly shows off musical skills worthy of the Bard track from [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/l3cmdj/moringmark_luzs_ballad/ singing to playing the lute]] and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/mur12e/moringmark_the_power_of_human_music/ the guitar]], and even [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vr825r/dropping_sick_beats/ beatboxing]].

--->'''Camila:''' (to Luz) She's a keeper.
* HiddenInPlainSight: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10rqhcf/disguise/ When]] Luz tries to find a proper disguise for Stringbean to use in the Human Realm, Amity suggests she act as the hood for Luz's cat-eared hoodie, which works well.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood:
** Hunter, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qao3rx/protection/ at the ripe old age of 5]], was used as a living shield and ''flail'' by Belos.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/676261894242336768 Odalia also inflicts this to Amity as an infant,]] having the family abomination butler feed her milk and slap her and pin her to the ceiling with abomination goop when the baby girl bothered her among other things. It takes discussing her childhood with Luz for [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror Amity to realize how poorly she was raised]].
* HistoryRepeats: The Titan originally wandered the Demon Realm with a dog-like Titan as a companion, but eventually [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662038170582532096 they would both perish.]] After the Titan had decayed into its current state, a young wild witch would encounter a dog-like demon, healing its injury and walking off as companions.
* HowDadMetMom:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vvs2we/first_met/ Apparently]], Camila met Manny in school when she wrongfully punched him thinking he left graffiti on her locker.
-->'''Camila:''' Turns out his friend did it and he was trying to clean it before the principal found out. Ah, memories.

It just led to a NakedFreakOut and landed him in the detention track.

* JawDrop: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ one comic]], this is Amity's reaction to [[spoiler:Luz's Titan form]]. Willow points Gus towards this without even looking, prompting him to push it closed.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vqtdab/o_titan_forgive_us/ After Luz mentioned that King is a Titan]], she wished Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hunter a good night, and started going to sleep. Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hunter then woke up with their eyes wide open, thinking about all the times they mistreated King without realizing it. Specifically, [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E15UnderstandingWillow Willow trying to peel him, thinking he was a furry fruit after her memories accidentally got burnt; Gus refusing to interview him]]; [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E5Covention Amity squishing his cupcake]]; and [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E1SeparateTides Hunter threatening to drown him]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xfs3e2/definitely_not_canon/ Luz has this reaction]] upon seeing Hunter cut his hair in anger in response to her teasing his hairstyle.
* MyGodYouAreSerious: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vl5c68/eda_taught_her_well/ When Camila gets concerned about the budget with the extra mouths to feed]], Luz suggests that they could rob a bank, describing how her friends could do it easily. Camila lets out a chuckle and then realizes that Luz isn't laughing.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Or, more specifically, Hitler By Any Other Name. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tple1g/history_lesson/ Lilith describes a man with an ambition to purge their land of anybody undeserving of life]]. She was actually referring to the fuhrer, ''not'' Belos, but Steve thought otherwise until she confirmed it.
* NeckSnap: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sof9p1/wanted/ Patch attempts this at one point]] to Eda to collect the bounty on her head. [[DidntThinkThisThrough He failed to consider that there was a reason]] [[ExorcistHead she is called the Owl Lady]].
* NightmareFetishist: Masha was quite literally this in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s27xez/to_love_a_demon/ an earlier comic pre-"Thanks to Them"]], proudly proclaiming they're into Vee's true form as a "demonic magic-sucking slug monster".
* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: One comic is called [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10f825z/no_cats_were_harmed_in_the_making_of_this_comic/ "No Cats Were Harmed in the Making of This Comic"]]. When Ghost goes missing, Luz goes outside to look for her, mistaking a stray cat for the real deal. She only learns she has the wrong cat after she tries to get it back on Amity's staff. [[AssShove And since the cat doesn't have an interlock like Ghost does...]]
-->'''Luz:''' ''(covered in scratches)'' I... might need to wash the staff.
* NoJustNoReaction: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zzupj6/trial_and_error/ Amity has this response]] when Hunter is giving her different hairstyles with her and gives her the same hairdo as her mother.
* NoNameGiven: Despite being {{Ascended Extra}}s, names are not given to anybody who didn't already have them, including Vee's friends.
* NoSocialSkills: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/113r9ln/test/ "Test"]] has Luz congratulate Hunter on his and Willow's new relationship]] and offer to give dating advice if he ever needs it. Hunter thinks he won't need it, so Luz has him practice on a (probably) model skeleton. He proceeds to demonstrate he has no clue what he's doing.
-->'''Luz:''' Now, hold hands!\\
(Hunter locks pinkies with the skeleton)\\
'''Luz:''' ...Now, hug.\\
(Hunter puts the skeleton in a chokehold)\\
'''Luz:''' ... ...Kiss?\\
(Hunter toothily puts his mouth on the skeleton's head)\\
'''Luz:''' Okay, just...s-stop, you can stop now.
* NoodleIncident: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661403991969824768 When Vee is educating Luz about her new social life]], she mentions having drama with the head cheerleader, and advises Luz to "not eat anything suspicious".
* NotInThisForYourRevolution:
** PlayedWith. Eda does [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s5dage/prison_break/ break into the Conformatorium and breaks out the BATTS]], but it's a pure coincidence as her main goal was saving Raine.
** Played straight in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ufm9an/join_the_rebellion/ another comic]], as even though she's made aware of Belos' true intentions to kill every witch on the Boiling Isles, Terra doesn't want to join the resistance Raine, Darius and Eberwolf are running because [[TooDumbToLive "a rebellion sounds kinda cringe"]]. The only reason she actually agrees to work with them is that Darius tells her everything they do is technically illegal.
* NotQuiteFlight: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qfiaiv/harpy_lilith/ To show off to Eda]], Lilith unveils her [[BlatantLies Harpy form]]. While she can float, it's just by clenching onto her staff with her buttocks.
* NoSell: As it turns out, being a Grimwalker makes Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vfvt4c/grimwalker/ practically immune to most damage]], as long as his Galdorstone heart is unharmed. His body being composed of 80% Palistrom Wood also means Willow can heal him quite easily. Unfortunately for him, that also means she can effectively lift him with her plant magic.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** Despite not wanting her children to look so slovenly under their concealment stones, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u7ilqp/concealment_stone/ Odalia herself uses a concealment stone for the exact same reason as them.]] Also, she turns out to be a Ruler's Reach fan herself.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v2u3g5/statues/ In Gravesfield]], Luz asks Hunter if he wants to vandalize the statue of Philip, holding up a green spray paint bottle for him to take.
--->'''Hunter:''' Um, no? First, that would be childish. Second, it wouldn't make me feel any better- ''[sigh]'' Who am I kidding, just give me that thing.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zoz9ao/coven_heads/ When an angry mob is about to attack the seven Coven Heads that aided Belos]], Darius encourages them to spare Hettie, Mason, Osran and Vitimir, saying they were just mislead and there's been enough death and violence. When asked about Terra and Adrian, however, Darius again says not to kill them... but okays beating them up.
* NotSoExtinct: In order to get [[DesperatelyCravesAffection the Collector]] off her back, Luz sends him on a wild goose chase to find a dodo bird. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/119ye9q/clingy/ Turns out, the Collector found several of them in the Amazon Rainforest]].
* NotSoFinalConfession: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vpsexn/spilling_it_all_out/ When]] it seems like the Draining Spell is going to kill all of the Coven Heads, Adrian takes the opportunity [[DyingDeclarationOfHate to rant]] about how much he hates the others... before the Collector stops the Draining Spell, [[OhCrap leaving Adrian in a very awkward situation]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While the comics tend to up the portrayal of Belos as a goofier, less competent, and put-together character, in some comics [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/653612652337250304 such as this one]] his canon level of cunning and wickedness is on full display.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649807580438347776 In one comic,]] it appears to be such that Skara is bullying Willow for no good reason, much to Willow's chagrin. Turns out, she's actually trying to save Willow from some of Boscha's pranks.
* ObliviouslyEvil: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zan0rm/tag/ According to the Collector]], he doesn't see himself as a monster, he's just "merely forcing everyone to play games with [him] forever and ever".
* ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u49n51/crush/ Eda]] fails to recognize that Raine's crushing on her.
* OddFriendship: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uq6q4m/boscha_and_severine/ During the students' fight to reach the gym]], Severine hides on the sidelines, only for her hiding place to be preoccupied with Boscha. Although they start off poorly with Severine blackmailing Boscha into letting her stay, over the course of fifteen minutes the two girls have become friends, with Severine even giving Boscha the nickname "Bossy". Once Severine quits the Emperor's Coven to return to the Tiny Cat Coven, she runs back to Boscha and invites her to join the Tiny Cat Coven with her. Amity lampshades how weird their friendship is.
-->'''Willow:''' Awww, wholesome.\\
'''Amity:''' In a weird way, but yeah.
** In another comic, Hunter goes to the Owl House to learn more about how to take care of his Palisman from Eda, but Hooty tells him that nobody's home, and refuses to let him inside. After an unknown period of time, the two bond over [[NoRespectGuy how unappreciated they feel among their respective factions]] (Hunter for the Emperor's Coven, and Hooty for the other residents of the Owl House). It gets to the point where by the time Luz, Eda, and King get back, they're both crying over how similar they are.
* OfferingsToTheGods: The Collector starts accepting these [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vv2bb6/offerings/ in one comic]]. While he turns down all of Odalia's lavish presents for him, he falls in love with a drawing Katya made for him, [[PunBasedCreature a "fruit-sona" of the Collector called "Avo-Collector"]].
* OhCrap:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/670282497211449344 After daring]] Hunter to eat his own boogers during a game of Truth or Dare, when Luz chooses truth, Hunter retaliates by asking Luz who the most important woman in her life is. Once [[GoodParents Camila]], [[TheMentor Eda]], and [[LoveInterest Amity]] all cross their arms and wait for her answer, Luz realizes how screwed she is.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pkbx02/scars/ Hunter grabs Amity's staff before she can hit him]], forgetting that Palisman can reanimate themselves. Ghost proceeds to give Hunter several new scars.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w6ydyy/muddy/ When she meets Muddy, Puddles' younger sister]], years in the future, Luz realizes why Viney said that griffins should be raised to have their feet on the ground at all times when the now mature griffin tramples her.
-->'''Viney:''' [[IWarnedYou That's why they should keep all their feet on the ground!]]\\
'''Luz:''' (weakly) [[{{Touche}} I stand corrected]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zpsbw3/prayers/ When finding out that an adult King has ran away from answering the prayers of the Boiling Isles]], Luz resorts to lying to the next hopeful worshipper by telling her that her grandson's prayer of passing his exam will come true before capping it off with "This is the Titan's will." Upon realizing what she just did...
-->'''Luz:''' Did I just become a fraud like Belos?
** After explaining that squirrels are the Human Realm's equivalent to fairies, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10k646s/equivalent/ Camila gets this]] when she realizes what Amity is going to bake into a pie...
-->'''Camila:''' ''(rushing to stop Amity from putting her a live squirrel in the oven)'' [[BigNo Nooooooooooo!]]
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lcga37/moringmark_coming_home/ Before the Nocedas reunite]], Amity shows she's not letting what Luz said to her at Grom ("That's what '''friends''' do") go.
-->'''Luz:''' (sweat drops) You'll never let me live that down, will you?\\
'''Amity:''' Nope.
* OnePersonBirthdayParty: Played With. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wf7dc5/quiet/ Eda actually has a large group of people band together to throw her a party]] despite the circumstances. Luz on the other hand is shown sitting in the dark with a cupcake on Earth, quietly wishing Eda a happy birthday while not even knowing if she's ''alive'' much less that she has others with her.
* OnlySaneMan: Kikimora is framed as this in some comics next to Belos, seeing through Belos' pathetic excuses to some of his more slovenly habits as "the Titan's will" when they obviously aren't, understanding the Titan's displeasure in Belos' very illogical interpretation of his will, and being the only member in the Emperor's inner circle who sees that Hunter's death is faked.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After Odalia compliments Alador on winning the Bonesborough Brawl saying she's happy for him, he points out how totally out of character it is for her. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ubltf2/he_wants_his_cut/ Turns out she made bets saying Darius would win.]]
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Beta Luz and regular Luz tend to [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/647089671479918592 annoy each other]] whenever Beta Luz appears in a comic, usually squabbling about how the other fights with magic or how the other looks. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rm6o3d/teamwork/ They both agree on disliking Alpha Luz's ability to use magic without glyphs.]]
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10mli06/eavesdropping/ "Eavesdropping"]] parodies the one in "For the Future". When the Collector sees King talking about permanently getting rid of him, they decide to listen a bit further to be sure. The Collector then sees King dramatically saying they have to kill him, which he stops listening at that point. King then finishes his sentence "...with kindness".
* OverlyLongGag: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xno4fv/shouldve_asked_gus/ When Hunter goes to Luz for advice on hugging]], she and Amity make a dance routine out of it. Luz claims it's simple, but Hunter says otherwise.
* PaintingTheMedium: [[https://twitter.com/MoringmarkMark/status/1572948841468669957 This artwork]] depicts the heroes of season 3 running against a forested background with a strange glow coming through the trees. When looked at in the twitter previews, however, it gives the impression of Belos' monstrous face.
* PaperThinDisguise:
** Luz's choice of disguise [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/mu2iyi/no_gays_allowed_in_the_house/ when introducing herself to Amity's homophobic mother is a simple fake mustache.]] It works.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ua65e5/moringmark_delivery/ When Luz and Eda try to infiltrate the Emperor's Castle]], they disguise themselves as one of the Abomatons ordered by the Emperor. [[TheMole Darius]] instantly sees through it, but lets them in any way.
** Tibbles' disguise as a therapist consists purely of a suit and mustache. As Lilith and Hunter have had no prior encounters with him, they don't notice anything odd about him, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uvbjh5/therapy_session/ but Luz eventually sees through it and does not let him go unscathed.]]
** When the remains of Belos escapes from his jar, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xzywz9/disguise/ he hides himself as Hunter's forelock]]. Sadly, he forgot Hunter already had his ImportantHaircut (and that he doesn't blend into Hunter's hair), so Luz is quick to recapture him.
** Kikimora tries to flee the Boiling Isles to escape punishment for her crimes, but needs to get through customs. Not only is her [[AtrociousAlias chosen fake name horribly obvious]], [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11e6q53/now_boarding/ her disguise is just her Coven Crate outfit, a fake mustache, and a scarf and cape]]. Steve sees through this immediately and launches her into prison.
* ParentalSexualitySquick: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ra8urp/alador/ Odalia ogles Alador]] while he's getting changed into a suit, only for a grossed-out Amity to inform her that she can hear all her thoughts through her necklace.
* ParentalSubstitute: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pyklro/moringmark_escape_the_castle/ Out of curiosity]], Vee transforms into the appearance of a child on a photo that slipped out of a guard's pocket. This prompted said guard to feel an attachment to her, as that child was his. He'd later help Vee and the other reanimated basilisks escape, [[YouShallNotPass but at the cost of his own life]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w0st7v/mom/ Edric at one point calls Eda 'mom'.]] Emira laughs at this, believing that her groggy brother did it as a FreudianSlip. Edric however, reveals that he meant to do that, as Eda took them under her wing, gave him consent to refer to her as such, and he is now distancing Odalia from himself, refusing to call her his mother. After pondering on this, Emira ends up referring to Eda as 'mom' as well.
* PassThePopcorn: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10lsfjo/reason_and_logic/ When Camilla declares that she will destroy Odalia]] with reason and logic, turns out she is using [[ExactWords a bat called "Reason" and a chancla called "Logic"]]. Cue Luz and Amity eating from a bucket of popcorn while watching Camila unleash a beating on Odalia.
* PassingTheTorch: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12kq799/passing_the_torch/ A comic named such]] has one between Flapjack and Waffles. Hunter gets nervous about proposing to Willow, so Flapjack's spirit instructs Waffles to pull on his forelock like he once did. Hunter falls flat on his face holding out the ring box, which amuses Willow.
* PetTheDog:
** Being stood up at Grom hurts Emira more than Edric, so [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ls77up/moringmark_just_like_the_old_days/ offers her a dance to make up for it]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/supj8b/moringmark_a_little_helping_hand_never_hurts/ Even though]] Skara laughs with Boscha after making fun of Luz's stage magic act in a talent show, Willow uses the plant she was going to use for her act as a string to fix Skara's harp, thus dropping out. Skara takes a closer look at her harp after she wins and remembering the plant, smiles in gratitude for Willow's kindness.
** Boscha may not like Willow and Gus, but [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661041603964764161 she can't bring herself to keep Maya from spending time with their palismen, so she sits adjacent to the witches while they play]].
** Lilith foregoes capturing Eda and acts as a shoulder for her sister to cry on right after [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x2ed6p/sisters/ Raine breaks up with her]].
* PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs: The meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs? According to the Collector, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10skzek/playing_catch/ that was the result of a Titan playing catch with their dad with a giant rock as the ball, missing and accidentally sending the rock flying far off into the sky.]] That resulted in the game being banned.
* PhoneCallFromTheDead: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yespsw/message_from_the_dead/ After the Hexsquad arrives in the Demon Realm following their months long stay on Earth]], Amity tries to alert everyone of their return over Penstagram. Noticing that they were presumed dead due to a message that Edric sent her, she decides to prank him by acting like she's sending him a message from the afterlife.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: Averted [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vdyeft/phones_vs_scrolls/ after Luz gives Amity her own phone]]; Amity uses it afterward but only when she needs to. Same goes for Willow, Gus, Hunter and Vee.
* PiggybackCute:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w181n7/rain/ One rainy day]], Luz carries Amity on her back so she doesn't have to walk through a stream of water or use magic to get across it.
** Luz carries Amity again [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z61wi5/letting_camila_know/ while trying to figure out how to tell her mother they're dating]].
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: {{Parodied}} in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v2hnwx/lets_play/ this comic]], where the Collector apparently streams all their actions and treats the world like a LetsPlay.
* PokeInTheThirdEye: Belos is on the receiving end [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/678979803508031488/ this time]], as he spies on people in his castle with magic... only for the Steve army to know when he tries to do so to them. Belos shudders to himself never to do that again.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain:
** Odalia is framed as this in an earlier Owl House comic, disapproving of gays, but played with in a later comic, where she is not homophobic.
** Played straight with [[TakeThat Mickey Mouse]], who gets into a brawl with Tiny Nose/Dana Terrace over homosexual content in the show.
--->'''Mickey Mouse:''' No gays allowed in the Mouse House!
* PomPomGirl: Luz acts as a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uby0mb/cheerleading/ cheerleader for Amity during a grudgby game]], while also intentionally distracting Boscha so she takes the ball to her face.
* PottyEmergency: ''[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rkouik/taking_a_nap/ "Taking a Nap"]]'' has Luz needing to use the bathroom but unable to move since Amity's sleeping against her. Luz attempts to leave her hugging a pillow, but Amity immediately wraps her arms around Luz as she's getting up from the couch, much to her shock.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Parodied in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10ika61/anything_to_save_him/ one comic]]. Hunter's attempts to reach out to Puppet Darius fall on deaf ears, but an insult from Alador causes him to break free from the spell the Collector put on him. Alador tries to say this is the power of friendship, but he is interrupted by a furious Darius.
* ThePowerOfLove: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12em8z1/the_power_of_love/ This comic]] has the Collector turn Amity into a puppet. Luz's heartfelt words and [[TrueLovesKiss a kiss]] turn her back to normal. The Collector gets annoyed by this and turns her back, prompting Luz to kiss her again. It devolves into a back-and-forth between them, leaving a very confused Amity, and an exasperated Eda and King spectating.
* ProphecyTwist:
** Celine's spirit predicts that Amity will "get hurt very badly" and calls it good news. It turns out it's because [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/652525488869392384 Luz would care for her]] after she breaks her leg.
** While still in Hexside, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11pf70b/fortune_telling/ Perry sees that Eda will have 10 kids in the future]]. Eda, while not against it, couldn't see how she'd even get that many. Cut to the present, where she's surrounded by everyone who looks up to her as a mother figure (Luz, Amity, Hunter, Willow, Gus, the BATTS, the Collector) and her son, King. Eda realizes Perry was right.
-->'''Eda:''' Huh. I guess that checks out.
* PsychicStatic: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tz55b0/mind_reading/ As a counter to Odalia trying to trick her into wearing a mind-reading amulet]], Amity gives Hooty the amulet as a gift. Cue BigWhat from Odalia as her amulet reads mindless thoughts on bugs, rolling around in the mud, Lilith, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick the deaths of other beings]].
* PublicSecretMessage: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wgw7vh/game_rules/ King writes a coded message in a set of game rules]] to let Eda know he's okay if in the Collector's clutches.
* PuppyDogEyes:
** Camila says these are her weakness after [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/108ai14/beating_the_system/ Vee uses them to get cookies before dinner]]. It doesn't take long for Camila to realize that Luz told her about this.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11vm68z/life_skills_lesson/ Luz says puppy eyes are a Noceda family life skill]] and demonstrates it before telling Vee, Stringbean and Hunter to try. Vee and Stringbean pull it off flawlessly, but Hunter's looks more like a DeathGlare, and Luz is intimidated into giving him the cookie prize.
* RageBreakingPoint:
** Hunter initially tries to brush off Luz's claim that [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xfs3e2/definitely_not_canon/ he looks like a grumpy anglerfish in a book she was reading]], but after Amity, Gus, and even Willow break out into laughter, Hunter furiously gives himself a quick haircut so he no longer has the stray lock of hair that drew the comparisons to the anglerfish in the first place.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11lx41n/flight_safety_psa/ After Darius makes Eda do a Flight Safety PSA,]] which she did very unhappily with obvious faked cheer, when he asks her to be more enthusiastic, Eda flips and ''enthusiastically'' gives very bad advice in flying as dangerously as possible. Darius just gives in.
* RealTrailerFakeMovie: Poster variants. Following the GrandFinale of the series, while Dana Terrace has said there ''may'' be more ExpandedUniverse material or a movie in the future, nothing is certain yet. Mark however went ahead and created [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/130n2k6/fan_posters_a_movie_a_prequel_and_two_spinoffs/ four posters for hypothetical entries]] in the series:
** "The Owl House: Starlight", a BigDamnMovie taking place after the epilogue, focusing on the Hexsquad, Eda, King, and Camila, and taking place on both Earth and the Boiling Isles.
** "Eda Vs. The Boiling Isles", a {{prequel}} set during Eda's time at Hexside, focusing on her, Lilith, and Raine.
** "Evelyn", an OriginsEpisode for Evelyn, Caleb and Philip Wittebane, and Flapjack, set during colonial times and hinting at how Philip would become Emperor Belos.
** "[=Cabin7=]", a spinoff focusing on Vee, Masha, and their two friends while at Reality Check Summer Camp, and the oddities they find there.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Bump, like in the show. Despite being a bit strict and sadistic at times, he genuinely cares about the students and their safety. After Luz, Willow and Gus trash his office in an attempt at throwing him a birthday party, he orders them to clean it up before admitting that they are good kids. Bria even identifies him as this as soon as she sees him for the first time, even if she doesn't believe a principal who cares about their students exists.
* RedMage: Eileen becomes a mixed-track student after being introduced to illusions by Gus, using illusions as a way to communicate while still being on the potions track.
* RefugeInAudacity: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w0hbwy/dont_believe_everything_you_read_on_the_internet/ "Don't Believe Everything You Read On The Internet"]] has some teens catch Willow using her plant magic to save a raccoon and post it online. Predictably, no one in the comments actually believes it's real.
* RefusalOfTheCall: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vmny4j/apocalypse/ Boscha initially declines to join Eda's resistance]], but after hearing that Amity is probably dead and spending the night mourning her, she gives in and joins up.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/104uvwz/waiting_it_out/ "Waiting It Out"]] is a comic where Luz and Amity learn the plot of the latest ''Good Witch Azura'' book was leaked online, sixteen days before it would hit store shelves, so they barricade themselves inside to avoid spoilers. The comic was uploaded around the same time the episode "For the Future" was leaked online.[[note]]The leaks were originally uploaded on January 5th, 2023, and the episode would air on January 21st, 2023. The comic itself was uploaded on January 6th, 2023[[/note]]
* RuleOfThree: In "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yd5jpn/mama_eda/ Mama Eda]]", Camila warns Edric twice not to prank anyone during Luz and Amity's wedding ceremony, and he doesn't heed it. For the third try Eda warns him that he'll be stuck on Hooty cleaning detail for the rest of his life if he does, and he submits.
* SacrificialLion: Steve was groomed to be this by a writer so that his death would motivate the main characters once things got serious.
* SadisticChoice:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p8rzsb/moringmark_number_six/ "Number Six"]] shows the basilisk of the same identity being ordered by Kikimora to kill Luz or be killed herself, but she hesitates when she learns that Luz knows where Vee is.
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s8jovv/moringmark_what_if_toh_was_a_telltale_game/ this strip]], Belos tells Luz he'll kill Amity unless she gives him the portal key instead of destroying it. Amity encourages Luz to destroy the key since Belos would kill them either way, but Luz hesitates to make a choice.
** Subverted in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10g2egm/trolley_problem/ "Trolley Problem"]]. A round of the Collector's game makes Luz, Eda, Amity and Alador choose between two tracks with one person and four people tied to them. The problem is, he tied Harvey, Salty, Viney and Morton, people they actually like to one track, and tied Odalia to the other. Alador points out how easy a choice it would be for them, so the Collector tries reshuffling. This time, it fails because he tied [[LovedByAll Steve]] to one track, and tied Terra, Adrian, Tibbles and Kikimora to the other. Alador again points this out.
* SanitySlippage: The events of the Day of Unity have [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x7bcv5/sacrifice/ clearly taken their toll on Odalia's mind,]] as she now believes that the amputation of her arm was a test by the Collector where it's clearly not, and intends to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwash Amity]] into becoming a playmate for the Collector.
* SarcasmMode: Subverted. During their time in the human realm, it appears that [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y77uu2/sarcasm/ Hunter is using this to mock Luz's many actions.]] However, when Luz expresses irritation at his apparent sarcasm, Hunter reveals that he doesn't grasp the concept of why you would say something you don't actually mean. At this answer, Luz then realizes that [[SincerityMode the opposite trope]] has been true the whole time, [[TearsOfJoy to her joy]].
* SchmuckBait: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zan0rm/tag/ When]] the Collector tags Luz during one of his games of tag, Luz pretends to not know where he went even though he just hid behind a rock. Later on, a "KEEP OUT" sign is placed on his hiding spot, and he still believes Luz is struggling to look for him.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661403991969824768 Luz pulls this]] after returning home and learning how much more complicated Vee has made her life in her absence.
* SecondLove: A few months after ending it with Odalia, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11qai4o/swipe_right/ Alador downloads a dating app]]. He looks rather stunning once Amity gives him a makeover, resulting in Darius reluctantly swiping right on him.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10v7aci/home/ "Home"]] sees Belos defeated and trapped in a bubble in the In Between Realm. Occasionally, they open a portal to it, and Hunter asks Belos if he regrets his actions. Belos, being Belos, adamantly refuses and continues insisting that murdering Caleb was the right choice for choosing the Boiling Isles, a "dump", over his real home. Hunter admonishes him for having learned nothing.
-->'''Hunter:''' After all these years, you still don't get it, do you? Home isn't where you're from... Home is- Home is where you feel belonged.
* SeriousBusiness: All over the place.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/653884443874017280 Luz does not take it well]] when a siren tells her "shipping is cringe", forcing Salty's crew to stop her from jumping overboard.
--->'''Luz''': (livid) I can assure you that shipping can make a story better by adding more characterization to-
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wt7ssf/emergency_meeting/ Raine treats changing the name of the resistance as seriously as a strategy meeting]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x6gwl7/do_you_want_fanwars_thats_how_you_get_fanwars/ After watching the live-action Azura movie and hating it]], Luz and Amity ask their friends' opinion on it. Hunter gives a noncommittal answer and Willow fell asleep, but before Gus, who actually enjoyed the movie, can say so, Willow immediately {{Hand Gag|ging}}s him to prevent an argument.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yv07q0/shipping_opinions/ When an Azura fan says Azura x Hecate is boring]], and that [[FoeYayShipping Villainous Lucy x Azura should be canon]], Luz and Amity immediately block the fan after giving a short PSA on not attacking people for shipping opinions.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q4lzdo/moringmark_her_time_has_come/ As shown here]], getting a low score at a rhythm game test prompts execution. Getting a high enough score immediately makes Luz head of the Bard coven in Raine's absence.
*** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t2ppbp/bard_coven_head/ another comic,]] we learn Raine became head of the Bard Coven after winning a game of musical chairs.
** Hunter and Amity get into a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662672349391437824 very intense pillow fight]], ending with Luz's room in a mess of feathers.
** Camila treats Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ylztnq/la_chancla/ being able to use la chancla as a weapon]] like a rite of passage.
* ShipperOnDeck:
** The Emerald Entrails in general, with the exception of Hunter and Willow, ship the two after Willow mistakenly asks Hunter to send her some cute pictures of Flapjack in the team's group chat. Willow threatens to delete her account when they take things out of proportion, but Hunter doesn't seem to care, although that's a given since this is just after the traumatic reveals of "[[WhamEpisode Hollow Mind]]" and he's just happy to have friends.
** Despite being their enemy, Belos is depicted as one for Lumity in some earlier Owl House comic strips.
** While playing a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vxo5mw/guessing_game/ headband guessing game]], Luz figures out that the person who Hunter is describing is Willow. Instead of announcing that she figured it out, she asks more specific questions that perfectly describe what Hunter thinks of Willow, essentially getting him to confess what he feels about her. Hunter points out that Luz is practically describing who the person is before suddenly realizing what's going on and looking behind himself to see an extremely flustered Willow.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wnry5t/shipper_on_deck/ In this comic]], Gus notices Hunter and Willow fell asleep on him, so he sneakily removes himself from between them so their faces touch.
* ShippingTorpedo:
** As in canon, {{Downplayed|Trope}} by Boscha. She doesn't like Lumity, and she hates the two [[SickeninglySweethearts having public displays of affection everywhere she goes]]. Too bad Luz, Amity, and Willow are actively gunning for this reaction.
** Odalia also doesn't like the fact that Luz and Amity are dating, and is shown in multiple comics trying to end the relationship one way or another.
** She is also this to Emira and Hunter, while also unknowingly being a ShipperOnDeck at the same time, having set up an arranged marriage between her eldest daughter and the Golden Guard, unaware the two are the same.
* ShipTease: Along with canon couples, several characters are implied to be interested or paired with each other.
** Multiple comics tease Hunter with Edric and Emira, mostly showing him dating the latter.
** Some comics hint an attraction between Willow and Skara: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649807580438347776 one]] shows Skara saving Willow from Boscha's pranks, another shows her [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tmcsx4/moringmark_hoottube/ watching one of Willow's workout videos with a lovestruck look.]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/supj8b/moringmark_a_little_helping_hand_never_hurts/ This one]] has Willow repair Skara's harp with a vine so she can compete in a talent show, which Skara notices after she won and hugs her harp in admiration.
* ShockAndAwe: Downplayed and played with when Luz [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/641563320183324673 pretends]] to use a lightning spell on Boscha, utilizing static electricity to sell the illusion.
* ShockParty: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12u2nud/surprise/ "Surprise"]], the Hexsquad throw the Collector a SurpriseParty for their birthday, but they reflexively shoot a laser at one of the trees. Downplayed in the sense that nobody was hurt, but the planners were scared.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rm6o3d/teamwork/ Canon Luz and Beta Luz's reactions]] to Alpha Luz being able to do magic without glyphs is very similar to [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men finding out Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man can shoot webs without Web-Shooters]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r2ozzg/swearing/ This comic]] featuring Eda censoring herself while scolding Hooty for getting mud in the house before realizing she can swear for real while alone is very similar to a scene from "Not What He Seems" from ''[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Gravity Falls]]'', only Eda intentionally tries to swear to stop Luz from hiding so she can help her wash Hooty.
** An earlier comic also based on "Not What He Seems" shows someone coming out of a portal who Belos claims is the author of the "Good Witch Azura": [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/640747883394629632 Luz & Amity's future daughter]].

** Willow and Hunter dress up as [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Ladybug and Chat Noir]] respectively for Halloween [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vi5xx3/halloween/ in one comic.]]
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yj9gfh/demon/ another comic set during Halloween]], Vee hands out candy to three trick-or-treaters dressed as [[VideoGame/Portal1 the Companion Cube]], [[Anime/KikisDeliveryService Kiki]], and Franchise/{{Godzilla}}.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yaoiqc/better_than_a_giant_marshmallow_man/ This comic]] has the Collector manifest the Hexsquad's worst fear to fight, [[Film/GhostBusters1984 much like Gozer allowing the Ghostbusters choose what form it takes to destroy them]]. It's even titled "Better Than A Giant Marshmallow Man".
** Luz convinces the Hexsquad to play TabletopGame/{{Uno}} [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yfozk1/floating/ so they'll stop questioning why Hunter can't sink]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10rqhcf/disguise/ "Disguise"]] sees Luz' Palisman Stringbean shapeshift into a variety of creatures, one of which being a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]].
** One comic has Luz, King, the Collector, and Hunter playing a video game called ''[[VideoGame/MarioKart Plumber Kart]]''. Hunter even uses a spiked blue shell on the Collector during a race.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ikr6x/totally_what_happened/ "...Totally What Happened"]] is one long reference to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro's beating up Steely Dan]], with [[spoiler:Titan]] Luz acting as Jotaro, [[spoiler:the Titan]] as her Stand, and Philip as Steely Dan, even having Luz drop a Light Glyph before walking away, much like how Jotaro dropped a "receipt" of how much pain he owed Steely Dan.
* SickeninglySweethearts:
** Luz and Amity of course in some comics.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ Done purposefully by Luz and Amity in this comic to mess with Boscha.]]
* SideBet: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ubltf2/he_wants_his_cut/ Alador realizes that Odalia made one]] saying Darius would win the Bonesborough Brawl and cleaned up when Alador won.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Alador and Darius alternate between this and VitriolicBestBuds in several comics.
* SkewedPriorities:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uo1r32/new_outfits/ One comic]] has Darius designing a new uniform for the CATS during a strategy meeting.
** In a comic called "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v7a3at/priority/ Priority]]", Alador fights the pain of the Draining Spell and makes his way to the Titan's Head... so he can laugh at Darius as he's being drained as well.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The previous Golden Guard before Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vdmoec/the_golden_guard/ was this,]] having originally stolen the portal from Belos and requesting Darius to teleport it and bury it near a ruin. The portal would be found by Eda when she ran away from home, who would use it to steal from the human world and eventually lead Luz to arrive in the Demon Realm.
* SmugSmiler: Hunter responds with this when [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ygke51/well_well_well/ Eda tells Lilith that him being a clone of their ancestor's husband technically makes him older than them, to Lilith's ire]].
* SoProudOfYou:

** One aptly-titled comic called "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t8qrqq/shes_so_proud_of_her/ She's so proud of her]]" shows Lilith, having run into Amity while shopping, express pride upon learning her former apprentice kicked the Golden Guard's butt.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ynqmr0/mentor/ Even if Hunter won't admit it]], he's impressed that Luz got his FlashStep down right out of the box.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yykrdk/training/ This comic]] has Hunter trying to teach his and Willow's daughter how to perform a shoulder throw... while she's a baby. Willow sarcastically asks how it's going and Hunter says he's not impressed, before she proceeds to perfectly do the maneuver on her wolf plush. The joy in their eyes speaks volumes.
--->'''Hunter:''' (awed) I didn't just imagine that, did I?\\
'''Willow:''' (also awed) Nope.
** "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10yspeg/role_model/ Role Model]]" ends with Vee saying this after Stringbean emulates how snake-shifters act from her, mostly sitting on the couch eating snacks.
** Said word-for-word by [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12yka61/getting_in_trouble/ Hunter to his daughter]] for defending herself from bullies and fighting off everyone else who came after her.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: PlayedForLaughs. When Eda gets suspicious of [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11l03hc/question/ Puppet Raine]] (who was recently possessed by Belos), she asks them what her favorite swear word is.
* SoreLoser: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10zo9y2/being_friends/ Losing to Hunter in a video game]] prompts the Collector to turn him into a puppet out of spite. Hunter using a Blue Shell and rubbing it in sealed his fate.
* SoulCrushingDeskJob: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/120l758/but_for_real_though/ In this comic]], the Collector says to win his game, Luz will be subjected to "the most soul-crushing scenarios known to man". [[TemptingFate Luz says she can handle it]], before the Collector snaps their fingers and puts her in an office job [[HatingOnMonday on a Monday]] with Boscha as her MeanBoss ([[FunnyBackgroundEvent and turns Stringbean into a pencil holder]]). Both Luz and Stringbean scream in horror.
* SpeakInUnison: Comedic zig-zag. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/677530251992203264 This instance]] has Luz and Amity tell each other that they don't want Amity to keep making fairy pies for Luz. However, while Amity explains how time-consuming it is to make the pies, Luz confesses that she's been releasing the fairies so she doesn't have to eat them. They're relieved and split a PB&J while the pie [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere makes a run for it.]]
* SpitTake:
** Lilith, when she sees that with the curse split between her and Eda, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ldy5ts/moringmark_the_baby_owl_beast/ they'll transform into giant baby owls whenever the curse acts up]]. At that revelation, she proceeds to pour some elixir into her morning beverage.
** Luz, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wecfk8/one_trip/ when Gus asks how many "Amity units" a jar weighs]] in front of her confused girlfriend.
** Eda, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xxzwf0/hammerspace/ when Luz manages to get back to the Boiling Isles after Amity sends her to the hammerspace at Luz's request,]] enabling Luz to emerge from Eda's hair, to the Owl Lady's surprise.
** Edric, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yespsw/message_from_the_dead/ as a result of Amity's]] PhoneCallFromTheDead.
* SpiritAdvisor:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/waaq8y/mirror/ In this comic]], Gus digs up the memory of Caleb so he and Hunter can have a heart-to-heart about being his own person.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xr8lyp/golden_guards/ In this comic]], memories of six previous Golden Guards return to congratulate him on being the first Grimwalker to realize Belos is evil and survive. And give him dating advice.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10w2im6/cue/ In "Cue"]], while Hunter and Willow are on a date she signals she wants to kiss him (which Hunter doesn't get), Caleb manifests to tell him that's his cue. [[OpenFlyGag And to pull up his fly]].
* SpotTheImposter:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sd7kbi/catching_a_basilisk/ When the Basilisk escapes]], Willow asks Boscha to say what she really thinks of her to prove she's the real deal. Boscha proceeds to give an extremely backhanded compliment, causing Willow to shoot her with a tranquilizer before confirming that it was the real Boscha.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/663940707051077632 Made into a game]] by Luz and Vee when the latter disguises herself as Luz and visits the Owl House. Luz allows Amity to ask two questions to identify who the real Luz is. King, however, simply and annoyedly points out the real Luz to Amity, who proceeds to kiss her on the lips, [[PostKissCatatonia much to Luz's pleasure]]. Though that joy quickly evaporates into horror when Amity states she didn't actually know who the real Luz was.
--->'''Luz:''' (upset) You could've kissed the wrong Luz...\\
'''Amity:''' Just kidding! I knew it was you!\\
'''King:''' Dang it, [[{{Troll}} I should've pointed at Vee!]]\\
'''Vee:''' (disappointed) I want a girlfriend.
* SpottingTheThead: Gus is shown giving a lesson on this subject in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ru8fh/illusion_lesson/ "Illusion Lesson"]] when teaching people how to identify people hiding under an illusion. Then, when asked if she'd be able to recognize people like that, Luz reveals that "Gus" was actually Amity in disguise the whole time.
* StagingAnIntervention:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vedumg/intervention/ Camila, Gus and Willow hold one]] to deal with Hunter's [[MustHaveCaffeine coffee addiction]] and lack of sleep, going as far as to confiscating his instant coffee and tying him up in a sleeping bag to get him to rest.
** Later, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zwg9lu/intervention/ this appropriately named comic]] has Camila and the Hexsquad hold one to make Luz stop putting herself down.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution:
** Luz, Willow, and Gus [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/640476092157788160 help dye Amity's hair from green back to brown at one point.]] When she worries over her mother's reaction, Gus recommends she hide it with an illusion of her green hair.
** During a date with Amity, Luz's pen breaks while she's drawing a glyph. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ljox2v/moringmark_first_date/ Amity soon gifts her stamps with glyph symbols.]]
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/672185031021740032 In one comic]] Eda suggests that Raine, instead of taking out several coven heads at once as well as themself, could just avoid the Day of Unity entirely and foil Belos that way. In the comic at least, it worked.
** Another [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vygj8k/egg/ has]] Luz explain to Amity that she carved her palisman into an egg so it could have the option to choose just like her. Then Amity says this:
--->'''Amity:''' Because an egg was easier to carve, wasn't it?\\
'''Luz:''' ...Yeah.
* StealthPun: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v4pgpi/flapjack/ one strip]], Flapjack constantly chirps to Hunter that [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove he loves him]] in order to get the same response. Then he deliberately does it while Willow is present, making it seem like Hunter was talking to her, which leads her to ask him out on a movie date. [[spoiler:He's a wingman.]]
* SubvertedKidsShow: Played for laughs, as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uke9rs/weve_all_been_duped/ one strip]] shows people regretting being misled (Lilith for believing the curse would only be temporary, Hunter for thinking Belos really cared about him, etc.), with the last being a viewer who thought that they were just in for a "silly owl show."
* SuddenlySpeaking: A variant. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xwbext/communication/ Using Camila's tablet]], Ghost is able to tell Camila she's hungry and how to feed her, then proceeds to give her advice on communicating with Luz.
* SuperDrowningSkills: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oor9g0/beach_day/ As it turns out]], witches have no need for swimming when the ocean of the Demon Realm is hot enough to turn humans into skeletons and clothes by the time they wash up to shore... which means they don't know how to swim, meaning the Human Realm's ocean is just as dangerous.
* SuperMode: Luz already had one via her [[spoiler:Titan form]], albeit a one-time-only form she only had access to thanks to [[spoiler:The Titan]] giving her said power for the final battle. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ "Ready for the Battle"]] however shows that [[spoiler:King]] can temporarily grant the form to Luz again via his own power, making it a more traditional case.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Due to having spent several months in the [[DeathWorld Boiling Isles]], Luz's skills in running, swimming, and bicycling have been boosted. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/116axid/more_like_boot_camp/ One incident which contributed to this]] was a time she made the mistake of trying to pet a werewolf, which chased her in the areas around Bonesborough, running, swimming, and even cycling after her.
* SuperSpeed: Part of Hettie Cutburn's Healing skills includes being able to perform surgery in under a second. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zz17su/first_do_no_harm/ She demonstrates by stealing a scout's kidney, and pretends she took it from Darius so fast he couldn't feel it]].
* SureLetsGoWithThat: While [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649626386645090304 Camila and Eda argue]] over whether Luz should spend more time in the human realm or the Boiling Isles, they each come up with a solution. While [[BloodKnight Eda's]] is a fight to the death, Camila's is to propose to her. A blushing Eda decides that would work.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Occasionally Belos is shown as suffering from this, with various comics having him suffer the men under him letting his prisoners go for fanart, grabbing the school bullies instead of Luz's friends to hold hostage, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u9fcvs/competition/ and watching Alador and Darius argue]] over who is better ''at the task of killing and overthrowing him''.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When confronted by Boscha in the Detention Pit, Amity questions if [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/110gczi/maybe/ Boscha has a crush on her]]. Boscha does ''not'' do a good job of denying it. She eventually admits she does after Amity gushes about all the cute couple things they did in the Human Realm.
-->'''Boscha:''' What? Me? Being hot on you? HA! You are not '''that''' attractive! Pfft, get over yourself, please.
* SwappedRoles: This comic, appropriately dubbed [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xqdigf/switched/ "Switched"]], showcases how much Luz and Amity have changed from when Luz arrived in the Boiling Isles and when the Hexsquad got stranded on Earth.
* TheSwearJar: Played straight and parodied in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r80n6o/swear_jar/ the same strip]], as even with [[SirSwearsALot Eda]] being subject to one, Luz and Amity are also subject to one that they have to tip whenever they call each other an awesome girlfriend. The "Awesome Girlfriend" jar is overflowing compared to the swear jar.
* SweetheartSipping: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12w9n1h/straws/ Alador orders a single drink with two straws]] for himself and Darius when they're on a date. Darius initially thinks it's too childish, but relents when Alador calls him a coward. They then realize that Amity and Luz, along with Hunter and Willow, are doing the same and watching them from other tables; with Amity [[WideEyesShrunkenIrises visibly shocked]], Hunter giving thumbs up, and Willow taking a picture.
* TactfulTranslation: Lilith's Palisman is not pleased to see Eda after she threw it into a wall in "Agony of a Witch", and threatens her. Lilith thankfully doesn't tell Eda this.
-->'''Raven Palisman:''' Caaaw (You smashed me into a wall.) Caaaw (When the Palisman Revolution comes, you'll be the first to die.)\\
'''Eda:''' What did he say?\\
'''Lilith:''' Ummm- He said he's hungry!
* TakeThat:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/riixtr/the_owl_house_dub_2022/ One comic]] takes a shot at the Taiwanese dub's infamous censorship of the Lumity scenes in canon, like the "dress up and travel together" line from "Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty's Door". When Luz proposes to Amity once the two are older, the context is changed via GagSub to Luz asking Amity if she wants to turn a ring she found on the side of the road into the lost-and-found department, and right as they're about to kiss (or as Luz puts it, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial take a closer look for no reason]]), a Disney Channel ad bumper obscures the two.
** A particularly large, humanoid, black-furred echo mouse wearing red suspenders that is clearly meant to be Mickey Mouse is noted by Maliphas as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oll6l9/the_big_mouse/ being obsessed with fairy tales]], hissing at Luz and Malphas when they get near him and scurrying off.
*** Pretty much every time the mouse shows up in one of [=MoringMark's=] comics, he is depicted in an unflattering light, with only one or two exceptions at most, being the satirical representation of Disney, who has infamously [[invoked]][[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwed over]] ''The Owl House'' and Creator/DanaTerrace in the past.[[note]]In a Reddit AMA, Dana said, in response to the question of whether or not the notorious shortening of the third season was attributed to the LGBT representation, that she didn't want to put her superiors in LA in bad faith, but Disney's history of homophobia has led much of the fandom to believe that was a major part of the decision.[[/note]]
** The Collector introduces themself to Luz by establishing their goal of collecting only the most unique things in the Demon Realm they can find, but Luz offers something completely one of a kind for only 5,000 snails. Turns out, she just suckered him into [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uh30w7/the_collectors_new_collection/ buying an NFT]], with the Collector failing to find the purpose of it or why it's so expensive.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x6gwl7/do_you_want_fanwars_thats_how_you_get_fanwars/ "Do You Want Fanwars? That's How You Get Fanwars."]] seems to depict live-action remakes in a bad light, as Luz and Amity vent their frustrations at the live-action remake of ''The Good Witch Azura'', which supposedly took several creative liberties from the source material. When Luz asks the others what they thought, Hunter and Willow dodge the question and before Gus can say he liked the movie, Willow stops him from talking.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wzw6of/not_going_that_route/ Not Going That Route]] pokes fun at the LoveTriangle and WillTheyOrWontThey tropes, as Luz terrifiedly envisions a scenario in which Willow sees Hunter with the cheerleader girl from her school, assumes they become an item, creates a misunderstanding, and by the time its settled, Willow will find someone else, and the whole situation will get dragged out for another season. The whole idea of it playing out in such a cliche manner horrifies Luz into letting out a BigNo.
* TakeThatKiss: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v39isy/got_served/ A variant]]. Seeing one of Luz's classmates bullying her, Amity kisses her girlfriend in front of her and her friends to shut her up and as proof Luz is dating her.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Gus lampshades how [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wuuf2r/couple/ Luz and Amity feeling awkward around Willow and Hunter having a romantic moment]] is how he feels around them.
* TeamMom: Taken literally in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wby6he/bedtime_story/ one comic]], as Eda is seen reading a bedtime story to Katya, Amber, and Derwin as if they were her own children. [[DesperatelyCravesAffection Lilith]] tries to take advantage of this by asking Eda to do the same thing, which she begrudgingly does.
* TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: Addressed in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rh0ogw/outfits/ one comic]] featuring Vee where she asks Camila to put a pride pin she bought on her. Vee realizes this too late before she starts screaming in pain.
-->'''Vee:''' I totally forgot that my outfit is part of my skin.\\
'''Camila:''' I have failed you as a mother figure.
* TemptingFate: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uxtioa/death_flags/ Right before the Day of Unity]], Luz tells King that Eda will be fine as long as she doesn't raise any death flags. Cue Eda saying this is her last mission [[{{Retirony}} before she retires]], [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee asks Darius to tell her the plan again]], says it's going to go off without a hitch, [[FatalFamilyPhoto shows the CATS her family photos]], [[MentorOccupationalHazard tells Luz that she's taught her everything she knows]], and right before she leaves, she says WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong, much to Luz's horror.
* TerriblePickupLines: Luz performs these from time to time with Amity in some comics. Amity of course, finds them charming, and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pulccs/favorite_sound/ even buys a book from the human realm from Eda to try on Luz.]]
* ThatCameOutWrong:
** When Luz is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ll4f74/moringmark_the_everythingproof_cloak/ testing the capabilities]] of her cape's AntiMagic properties, she asks Amity, who has just shown up at the Owl House, to attack her. Unfortunately, instead of using a magic attack, Amity hurls a book at the human's face and breaks Luz's nose. Luz ends up admitting it was her fault.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/674087567355985920 While on a date]] and sitting on a bench with Emira, Hunter proceeds to make a romantic speech to her, only to call her the blind spot of his life before correcting himself and stating that he meant bright spot. He then declared that he nailed it, but Emira's face, which had previously displayed enchantment, says otherwise.
* ThatPoorCat: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sgamxq/squish_that_cat/ Amity makes it clear that her number one policy when dealing with cats is to squish them]]. She herself admits that it's probably not that comfortable for the cat or safe.
* TheTalk: Camila prepares to give Luz this in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xbjamw/the_talk/ the strip named after this trope]], only to be intrigued when Luz reveals to her that [[HomosexualReproduction girl couples can have babies using magic.]]
* TheyJustDontGetIt: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wt7ssf/emergency_meeting/ In this strip]], Raine calls a CATS meeting to talk about updating their name due to fighting the Collector now instead of the Coven. Darius suggests just renaming it to Witches Against The Collector and they don't have to abbreviate it to CATS. He gives up when this just gets him blank stares from the others.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ui78lt/welcome_to_your_personal_heck_odalia/ one strip]], the Blights let Luz, Eda, King, Hooty, Lilith, and Hunter hide out at their manor the week before the Day of Unity while they come up with a plan to stop Belos. While Odalia is obviously unhappy with the setup, [[TemptingFate she thinks she can handle it, as it's only a week]]. As soon as she sees the six making themselves at home in ways that annoy her (Lilith gushes over all of the artifacts the Blights have, Eda and Owlbert steal one of Odalia's vases, Hooty makes the manor his new body, King raids the manor's fridge to make a big sandwich, Luz and Amity blush over the idea of living together, and Edric and Emira start flirting with Hunter), she realizes how hard this week will be for her.
** Averted in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vi5xx3/halloween/ another comic]]. Amity, under the impression that humans dress up as "horrible and evil entities" for Halloween, uses a glamour charm to dress up as [[EvilMatriarch Odalia]], but is clearly unhappy about it. When Luz clarifies that people also tend to dress up as what they like, Amity quickly takes the chance to change into another costume.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/658504888780783616 During a raid on the Owl House]], Eda orders Hooty to take care of the Coven Scouts only for everyone to find him sleeping. Eda, Luz and King agree to let him have a break and go kick butt themselves.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Lilith [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tple1g/history_lesson/ talks about a great, and powerful leader]] with great ambition and a goal of purifying and purging their world of those they deemed unworthy. [[BaitAndSwitch She then goes on to talk about Belos]], revealing she was actually talking about Hitler. Steve's adoration to this description before the reveal makes him realize he's one of the bad guys.
* TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip: Amity subjects Hunter to this, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pao1s0/moringmark_she_knew_that_line_was_coming/ knowing he'd brag about how he got her to hand over the portal key to him.]]
* TimePassesMontage: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yonqmd/seed/ "Seed"]] has the Hexsquad make a grave for Flapjack, planting one of his feathers, a gravestone, and a palistrom seed, which Willow grows into a sapling. We then see the grave through the years and seasons as the sapling grows into a palistrom tree surrounding the gravestone as an adult Hunter, Willow, and their daughter admire the tree.
* TitleDrop: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11suz7h/title_drop/ This appropriately named comic]] features three instances for Season 3.
** When Luz asks how they knew where the Titan Blood was, Amity explains that Masha helped them figure out the rebus.
--->'''Amity:''' It's all- (Thanks to Them title card appears)
** After dealing with Kikimora, Luz gives a speech about saving the Boiling Isles.
--->'''Luz:''' Let's save the Isles from the Collector, and create a better world- (For the Future title card appears)
** After the Collector's [[AntiClimax surprisingly easy]] HeelFaceTurn, Amity finds Luz staring at her. Luz is imagining their wedding day and smiling goofily.
--->'''Amity:''' ...Why are you looking at me like that?\\
'''Luz:''' Oh, don't mind me. I'm just- (Watching and Dreaming title card appears)
* ToiletPaperTrail: Lampshaded and defied, as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r16sfs/crossing_paths/ Willow tries to tell Boscha she's got toilet paper stuck to her belt, but decides against it after Boscha insults her]].
* TogetherInDeath: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1028yab/till_death_bring_us_together/ In the aptly named "Till Death Brings Us Together"]], an elderly Evelyn feels that her time has come and walks out in a snowstorm, passing away in front of the grave of her late husband. Her spirit, appearing as her younger self, is greeted by Caleb, and they walk together into the afterlife.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The comic [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zsmpus/test/ "Test"]] shows that Vee's taken a liking to chips, even offering to take a history test in Luz's place if she can get the basilisk a lifetime supply of them. Since then, select comics will have Vee eating a bag of chips in some scenes.
* TragicKeepsake: A sort applies for Belos, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/681063534417805312 as long ago when his brother was alive, an ancestor of the Clawthornes carved him a red cardinal palisman that he would name "Flapjack"]]. Once he notices the Clawthorne family crest on Lilith's staff, Belos spares her palisman and gives it back to her, saying he's returning a favor.
* TrainingMontage: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s9cbdu/eye_of_the_tiger_playing_in_the_background/ Amity does one with Willow coaching her]]. She eventually gets strong enough to return Luz's favor in bridal carrying her when she breaks her leg in a grudgby game.
* TransformationOfThePossessed: When possessed by the Collector, Luz's skin turns yellow and blue split down the middle, her eyes turn red, her hair turns white, and she gains two star-shaped freckles under her left eye.
* {{Troll}}:
** The Titan finds Philip's constant near-deaths funny, and is all but said to be behind them.
** On the other hand, Belos would later blatantly mistranslate the Titan's commands into his own agenda of killing off all wild witches and establishing a fascist rule over the Boiling Isles.
** Raine, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uahkfs/cause_it_is/ noticing Terra's tea is a bit too hot]], volunteers to cool it. However, they also take the opportunity to make it taste like cat urine with their whistling trick.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/656330561575698432 Eda puts a]] [[KickMePrank "Hex Me!" note]] on Lilith's back while hugging her.
** Lilith, on the other hand, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654065637763792896 teams up with Hooty]] to mess with Eda, along with Luz and King, by tricking them into thinking that she can keep Hooty from getting dirty after being cleaned.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/670101300340523008 Once]], Luz sneaks into the Emperor's castle and leaves a speaker powered by a potion in the vents to play Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" on loop. One day later, the entire Emperor's Coven is begging for it to stop.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uhgsyf/moringmark_this_looks_like_a_job_for_steve/ While]] the Emperor's Coven surrounds the Owl House, it seems like Eda brutally killed Steve as soon as he broke in... only to reveal that she just stuck a fire glyph to a prop skeleton wearing Steve's cloak and threw it out to frighten the rest of the Emperor's Coven scouts while Lilith prepared a teleportation glyph. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Even Steve laughs at the trick once he is shown to be completely unharmed]].
** The Blight kids, including Amity, are all this. In one strip, Amity teams up with Edric to pull a prank on Emira, only to shift all of the blame on him when it's pulled off. Edric [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ulrwah/removing_the_sigil/ also pulls out a dagger]] when Odalia is dying from her Oracle sigil on the Day of Unity, making her think the only way to save her is to [[AnArmAndALeg cut her arm off]], when in reality Amity just uses a branding glove to take it off.
** Boscha tries to get away from Lumity. Unfortunately for her, they are actively following her to garner her annoyed reaction from their affectionate nature.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/668379958674128896 During an aerial battle]], Eda [[HeroicSacrifice takes an arrow to her back]] to protect Raine and pretends to die to get Raine to confess their love for her. When Raine sees the arrow got lodged in Eda's ponytail, they're not happy and Luz and Lilith leave Eda to her punishment.
--->'''Raine:''' ''(slaps Eda with each word)'' ''[[PunctuatedPounding I. Thought. You. Were. Dead!]]''\\
'''Eda:''' Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. I'm sorry, okay? Stop it- OUCH!
** Hunter has a habit of being the target of Luz's pranks in Mark's comics, going through [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t51n7y/on_patrol/ getting googly eyes stuck on his mask by her while he's on patrol]], forced to eat his booger by her dare during truth-or-dare, and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ok5ole/got_ya_witch/ getting his staff stolen by her and Gus at one point]]. Ones set ''post'' Hunter's HeelFaceTurn serve to feed into their LikeBrotherAndSister dynamic more than anything.
*** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/663578319093153792 In a comic set after Belos' defeat]], Luz states that it's been 3 months since she's been gone and tells Hunter that he has to let her go, before disappearing in front of his eyes. Hunter stares in shock, reaches out where Luz was, and pinches the chuckling Luz's cheek, who simply used an invisibility glyph to trick Hunter.
---->'''Hunter:''' (livid and chasing a laughing Luz) I thought I was crazy for a second!
*** Luz and Gus dupe him into thinking he was [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vaxu7m/he_has_been_playing_it_for_2_hours/ he was playing against one of them in a video game for 2 hours when in reality, his controller wasn't even plugged in]].
*** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yl3lpx/wolf_facts/ After Hunter's attempt to segue a fact about wolves into flirting]] has Willow outflirt him and ends with him flustered, Gus, Luz, and Amity arrive and treat the scene like a nature tour.
---->'''Gus:''' On the right side, folks, you can see two wolves in their natural habitat.\\
'''Amity and Luz:''' Ooooo-\\
'''Gus:''' It seems the male wolf is very awkward at courting.\\
'''Amity:''' (snaps a photo) Aww.\\
'''Hunter:''' YOU GUYS ARE NOT HELPING!!
*** Hunter does get to invoke this himself, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pwilae/get_down/ ordering]] everyone except for Kikimora to duck after a scout triggers a trap in a ruin they're exploring. The traps just barely miss Kikimora as they only reach down to her exact height.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z8s7pc/trust_him_hes_an_expert/ Gus tells Amity that slowly blinking while gazing at someone is a sign of affection and trust]]. He doesn't mention he read this in a book on ''cat'' behaviours. Luz reacts with confusion while Gus barely contains his laughters
** While Hunter and Gus are messing around with a suction cup gun, Amity walks in to do some reading, tying her hair back and exposing her forehead. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11okw6h/bullseye/ Gus warns Hunter not to do it, but he doesn't listen]]. Amity gets him back by sticking him against a wall in abomination goo.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x5nnq6/fireside_chat/ Skara, Amelia and Cat believe Boscha's asleep during a campfire even after Skara calls her names to be sure.]] After talking for a while, Boscha scares them revealing she was awake the whole time.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yqjs8f/date/ Masha pretends to be interested in dating Luz]] to get on Vee's nerves. The shapeshifter still does get that date though.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11rx926/new_arm/ After giving Eda a new prosthetic arm]], Alador doesn't charge her any money for his service. Of course, while testing out said arm's features, Eda learns that the "bad gesture filter" Alador installed prevents Eda from using it to [[FlippingTheBird flip people off]], and Alador charges her 50,000 snails to get it unlocked.
* TroubledFetalPosition: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11as1qb/adulthood/ "Adulthood"]] has Vee taking the role of adult for the Noceda house while Camila's with the Hexsquad in the Demon Realm. [[TemptingFate She believes it'll be a cakewalk]] but after a while, she ends up lying on the kitchen island curled up and nibbling on her tail as the sink leaks and both the toaster and a pot on the oven catches fire, leading to Masha coming over to help her.
* {{Tsundere}}: Beta Amity is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/m1x1ng/birthday_plan/ framed as this,]] angrily blushing and denying that she wants to do some [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial very specific romantic things]] with Beta Luz when the latter asks her what she wants to do tonight
-->'''Beta Luz:''' (while writing down things that Beta Amity says that she doesn't want to do) Uh-huh. Dessert?\\
'''Beta Amity:''' ({{beat}}) I absolutely hate strawberry smoothie.
* UndeadTaxExemption: Vee was able to enroll in Gravesfield High despite her complete lack of legal identity [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12n3cfo/not_technically_lying/ by having Hooty pretend to be an angel and scaring Principal Hal into accepting her]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Belos doesn't take Gwendolyn seriously when she declares he'll pay for nearly petrifying Eda. Since she's a Beast Keeper, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qlw0yc/beast_keeping_coven/ she commands a flock of pigeons to poop on his freshly polished vehicle]].
* WackyMarriageProposal:
** Heavily downplayed in a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/osni0g/moringmark_task_failed_successfully/ comic where Raine tries to propose to Eda]]. Their initial plan was to ask Eda if she wanted to play a duet with them at a wedding ceremony, only to reveal it was ''their'' wedding they were talking about. Unfortunately, Raine gets too nervous to follow the script implied to have been written by Luz, leading to them blurting out [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "YOU, ME! MARRY!! PLEASE?"]] instead. Eda still says yes, but Raine is humiliated by how the situation played out.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12kq799/passing_the_torch/ "Passing the Torch"]] has Hunter get nervous about proposing to Willow, so Waffles pulls on his forelock and he falls flat on his face holding out the ring box.
* WallPinOfLove: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ Done by Amity to Luz as part of their scheme to mess Boscha.]]
* WardrobeMalfunction: After getting home from a date with Masha, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ztgann/dress/ Vee accidentally ruins the dress Masha made for her by transforming into her normal basilisk form]]. She lets out a [[TheScream loud shriek]] that attracts Masha back, allowing them to fix the dress, but Vee still feels very guilty for what happened.
* WaxOnWaxOff: The Bat Queen has her children play hide and seek, and stops them from going to sleep until they can find a good enough hiding spot. This was all a way for her to get them to hide, as the Emperor's Coven would raid her forest, with her as the children's only protector. [[HeroicSacrifice She presumably dies, but Luz and Eda find the children in the aftermath.]]
* WeaponForIntimidation: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/190187961858/the-earths-mightiest-weapon This very early strip]] has Luz threatening Warden Wrath with fidget spinners. He's genuinely afraid of them and surrenders to her.
* WeirdnessCensor: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10av7z0/advantage/ When Vee, disguised as Luz, increases her height]] to even her team's odds of winning the volleyball game against a team consisting of tall players, the cheerleader girl notices and is about to question her, before shrugging it off, deciding that it is not the weirdest thing Luz has ever done.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/676624286474190848 Boscha questions why Amity threw their ten years of friendship away for Luz, who she's known for three months.]] Amity [[ArmorPiercingResponse proceeds to sum up why]].
* WeWantOurJerkBack:
** Lilith may be a traitor to the Emperor's Coven, but Belos, [[SitcomArchNemesis Hunter]] and [[{{Jerkass}} Kikimora]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ogx2k7/missing_lilith/ all agree]] that [[OnlySaneMan she was necessary for the the Coven to function]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qc2ixt/the_new_hunter/ In another comic]], Eda asks Luz to find a way to get Hunter to lighten up, which she and Amity do through an impromptu spa day. After said spa day results in Hunter becoming much friendlier, Eda begs Luz to change him back to his old self due to how overly affectionate he is.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Of a sort, as Gus cannot figure out how Luz sleeping is adorable to Amity, chalking it purely up to love.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A child Amity just read to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qwqdo1/moringmark_once_upon_a_time/ asks what happened to Luz after she beat Belos.]] Amity isn't sure if she [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed herself]], but hopes that Luz got sent back to the human realm and is trying to find her way back to the demon realm.
* WhatIf: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/orc46l/moringmark_what_if/ This appropriately named comic]] shows Luz and King having learned and pay their respects to Eda and Raine for sacrificing themselves to take out Darius and Eberwolf in an alternate ending to "Eda's Requiem".
* WhatIsThisFeeling: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v0bs3j/kiss/ After Willow kisses Hunter's cheek to show him what a kiss is]], he's confused about why he feels equal amounts happiness and disappointment.
* WholeCostumeReference: Comics depicting Luz as an adult usually show her wearing an outfit that was clearly inspired by Azura, just modified to be less overtly feminine. Similarly, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y9uh1z/meeting_the_parents/ Hunter's outfit]] following the release of "Thanks to Them" is just a fantasy verson of Chief Engineer O'Bailey's uniform.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: PlayedForLaughs. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q7cpgf/be_nice/ When Hunter sides with the Owl gang against Belos]], Belos questions how he can consider them family. When Hunter tries to answer, he recalls times when Luz mischievously denied him a handshake, Eda called his voice annoying, King pulled his hair, and Amity punched him on the head with an abomination fist.
-->'''Hunter:''' Remind me why I am siding with you people again?\\
'''Amity:''' Focus.
* WomanChild: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wby6he/bedtime_story/ one comic]], Lilith asks Eda to read her a bedtime story while she goes to sleep with a Hooty plushie.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: ''Amity'' becomes one in the events of [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vxbxd0/new_game/ "New Game"]]. ForWantOfANail takes effect thanks to Belos petrifying Luz, something not even the Collector can undo. Amity is pushed over the edge from this and Belos escaping to Earth, so she offers a new game to the Collector: the two of them will play "Hunt the Witch Hunter", and go to Earth where they will hunt Belos down like a wild animal, the Collector agreeing immediately. Willow tries pointing out that this will ravage Earth, but Amity doesn't care, feeling sacrificing Earth is a necessary evil if it means protecting the Boiling Isles, especially when the former lacks anyone they care about now that Luz is gone. She tells Willow to destroy the portal once she and the Collector are through, trapping them in the process. Willow tries asking her if this is what ''Luz'' would want, but Amity laments she wishes she could ask. The entire time Amity is struggling to fight back tears, and can only kiss Luz's petrified form goodbye before she and the Collector leave.
* WorthIt: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11f4h91/he_died_a_hero/ In "He Died a Hero"]], when a furious Belos is on the brink of killing one of the past Golden Guards over allowing a group of fugitive wild witches to escape, the Golden Guard quickly tries to talk himself out and blame the botched mission on an alleged Scout named Haywood. Haywood who? "Haywood you go [censor] yourself, buttface." [[GilliganCut Cut to]] to that Golden Guard's ghost telling Caleb and the others this trope.
* WrittenInAbsence: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yu2gb9/what_did_i_miss/ This comic]] shows where Owlbert had been during "King's Tide".
* WTHCostumingDepartment:
** [[InUniverse In-universe example]]. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/svjmfi/blending_in/ While]] Amity, Gus and Willow have fine disguises for the human world, Hunter wears "armor" made up of a hockey uniform, a parka and sunglasses, as well as a hockey stick as a weapon. Predictably, Luz tells him to take it off.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wtjzlx/blending_in/ In another comic]], Gus enchants concealment stones for everyone. While Amity, Willow, and Hunter simply get human ears, Gus made his make him look older and have constant sparkles around him. Luz tries to point out how contrary that is to blending in, but Gus ignores her.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lmnihj/moringmar_picking_her_up/ After]] a drunk Boscha calls herself a loser nobody wants to be around, Amity tells her she's cool when she isn't being mean and tells Boscha to treat people a bit better. Boscha seems to take it under consideration.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qe5nu1/moringmark_from_a_bully_to_a_friend/ After Willow wins a grudgby game and Boscha reveals she's jealous of her for having everything she doesn't]] (friends who care about her, being skilled in a track she likes and talent in grudgby), Willow tells her that she has charisma, natural leadership skills and that Boscha will achieve something great by being the best of herself.
** In [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661856976460021760 this comic,]] after Palisman Adoption Day, Luz is feeling down about how she doesn't know what kind of witch she is and how she might not be cut out for it. Eda then points out she is a better witch than she realizes in multiple ways, prompting Luz to shed TearsOfJoy.
** In [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/682784876244713472 this comic]], Amity is asked to comfort a miserable Luz who is blaming herself for Hunter being in danger and teaching Philip/Belos a new glyph; after Luz starts to claim she's doomed everyone, Amity gives her a CooldownHug and points out that far from ruining things, Luz has improved the lives of Eda, Lilith, King, Hooty and Amity herself, more than likely saved Hunter by getting him away from Belos and Amity has no doubt that Luz is the key to defeating Belos...and she'll be with her every step of the way.
** Willow quotes the trope word for word in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vc44vr/scars/ this comic]] after learning that Hunter's gloves hide the scars of his failed first mission as the Golden Guard, as he'd spent hours digging himself and his squad out of a collapsed cave. When Hunter focuses on the failure of the mission itself, Willow points out that he saved people's lives that day.
** Though Luz doesn't tell Amity about her guilt over having aided Philip in meeting the Collector, Amity clearly can see the parallels in between Luz's emotional state and her interpretation of Azura when the Good Witch is fooled by the story's villain and talks of how Azura was a good, kind-hearted person who helped truly good people, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y0fiv8/reading_night/ providing an indirect example of this trope.]]
** When Luz and Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y3uquu/mess_up_ometer/ express their self-loathing misgivings]] about having helped Philip meet the Collector and being a grimwalker clone of Belos' brother respectively, the rest of the Hexsquad assure them that they are not at fault for either of those things. [[ShutUpHannibal Though for Belos, they don't even allow him to make his case.]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zwg9lu/intervention/ When Luz claims becoming a glyph teacher would make things worse]], the Hexsquad holds an intervention at Camila's request to remind her of all the good that she did for them to get her to accept how awesome she is. It's a lot to take in, but Luz is brought to tears from everyone's praise.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1095dxc/the_real_amity/ Amity tells the truth about]] [[TheBully who she]] [[ItsAllAboutMe was]] to Camila, who commends her for becoming a better person. However, Amity questions whether or not she really has changed for the better, seeing herself possibly as a person who still does things for herself, or to save someone she cares about. Camila however, dismisses the notion, pointing out that she took the effort to restore her friendship with Willow when she could have left it at an apology and chose to state her mind to her parents when she could have just rescued Luz. Camila also concludes that while Luz was the inciting action for Amity's [[TookALevelInKindness change]], she did the rest herself, and that she is not wearing any mask at all. That she is very much the real Amity. At these words, Amity proceeds to wipe [[TearsOfJoy a tear from her eye.]]
* YouAreGrounded: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v0mlrh/grounded/ Here]], Eda grounds King for gluing Hooty's mouth shut because Hooty ate his last cracker and tries to get Luz to take the blame. However, he's ecstatic to experience it for the first time.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Let's just say that Viney is not pleasing with getting three tickets that contradict as to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x919g5/parking_tickets/ whether or not Puddles is legally a vehicle, an aircraft, or an animal.]]
* YouNeverAsked: Hooty doesn't give King Tarak's message until he asks him (or rather [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rnnpl1/dear_santa/ Santa Hooty]]) to tell him where his dad is. Cue angry stare.

* AbilityMixing: Amity, knowing she can't beat Darius in a fight using abomination magic, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rxfaf9/moringmark_the_true_abominations_master/ beats him by creating glyphs out of abomination goo]].
* AbuseMistake: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/673091000842010624 One comic]] features the Bat Queen assuming Ghost has been heartlessly abandoned when she finds her out in the boiling rain. The truth is that Ghost annoyed Odalia (her owner) who kicked her outside and Amity is absolutely frantic when she realizes it's raining and she's gone; the Bat Queen treats the young witch with suspicion and hostility but when Ghost goes to make sure Amity's okay, she sees how much they love each other and she lets her go home with her new chosen partner.
* AbusiveParents: While Odalia is already this in canon, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uw0ute/mom/ one comic]] takes it further by revealing that [[WouldHurtAChild she would physically harm Amity as punishment for making mistakes like accidentally breaking a vase while playing]]. In the present day, after she forgets to get something while buying groceries for Luz and Camila, this triggers a bad memory of Odalia, but just as she feels like she's going to be punished, [[GoodParents Camila]] is more than understanding and tells Amity it's okay.
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x7bcv5/sacrifice/ another comic]] Odalia is about to brainwash Amity to be a companion for the Collector.
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: All King has to wear is his collar and, if Dana Terrace's artwork is to go by, his skull. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rsvdxp/food_for_thought/ Tarak points out that this is not normal.]]
* AccidentalKiss: This is actually how Luz and Amity's first kiss goes in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ub7a4x/first_kiss/ one comic,]] as Luz pretends to be a woodpecker as a joke, and while Amity is laughing, their lips accidentally connect in the process.
* AccidentalMurder: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qief4g/human_curse/ A confrontation between Luz and the Golden Guard ends in this]]; Luz messes with Hunter by "cursing him to breathe inward manually", but he ends up killing himself.
-->'''Luz:''' ''(stunned)'' His blood is on my hands.
* AccidentalProposal:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11blnvu/they_know/ While a drunk Eda rants to Puppet Raine]], she says she's going to propose to them once they're free, and even goes over some of the things she'll say, unaware that even as a puppet, Raine can hear everything she's saying. Once the Collector frees them, Raine immediately accepts, [[LateToTheRealization though it takes a minute for Eda to realize what they mean]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12xgr4n/just_roll_with_it_masha/ While Vee, Masha, Luz and Amity]] are on a double date, Masha compliments Vee's earring, but Vee thinks thinks theirs are cooler. Vee thinks about shapeshifting some, but Masha gives her theirs instead. Vee gets so flustered she facedesks. As Luz explains, in the Demon Realm, when couples want to take their relationship further, they exchange jewelry.
-->'''Luz:''' Sooo, what you did was basically the Demon Realm equivalent of...a proposal.\\
''(Masha blushes heavily)''
* AccidentalPublicConfession: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wxf0nv/practice/ As Luz rehearses her attempt to revoke her promise to Camila]], she ends up saying it to the real Camila who walked in and Luz assumes was an illusion made by Gus. Luz is shocked when she sees her mother heard everything.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Hunter notices that Luz is infiltrating the castle, he makes a joke that causes her to laugh. Unfortunately, this causes the invisibility glyph she was using to wear off, [[OhCrap exposing her right in front of him and Belos]]. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/655333995274551296 Cue her being chased by dozens of guards.]]
-->'''Luz:''' Luz, you fool!
* AdaptationExpansion: Some comics go deeper into the backstories of certain characters in all the shows, like showing Manny was a firefighter who was implied to have died on the job, while canon left the cause of his death ambiguous, or that Boscha was bullied for being half-demon before becoming a bully herself.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Canonically, Amity and Hunter managed to let bygones be bygones after Hunter solidified his HeelFaceTurn, the two being genuine friends as part of the Hexsquad and spending time living with Camila and Luz in the human world. Here, their relationship remains somewhat antagonistic, Amity once threatening him if he ever hurts Luz like he threatened to in "Eclipse Lake", and the two acting more like VitriolicBestBuds, screwing with each other one moment, having each other's backs the next. This doubles as a GenerationXerox to the comics' depiction of the relationship between Amity's father, Alador, and the closest Hunter has to a guardian outside of Camila, Darius. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11wjmrr/illusion_of_choice/ "Illusion of Choice"]] hangs a {{lampshade|Hanging}} on it, as while Amity is with the others asking about who Hunter wants to ultimately be adopted by, both his choices, Camila and Darius, would cause her grief since, either way, he'll end up her ''brother'' in some form, and she laments already having to deal with ''one'' annoying brother via Edric.[[labelnote:*]]If Camila adopts him and Amity marries Luz, then Hunter will be her [[ObnoxiousInLaws brother-in-law]]. If Darius adopts him and Darius and Alador get married, then Hunter will be her step-brother.[[/labelnote]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Camila [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/675808909787824128 runs an armored truck off-road]] and seemingly [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p6slzm/la_chancla/ fights Emperor Belos to a standstill]] before being disarmed of her [[invoked]][[MemeticMutation chancla]].
* AdaptationalComicRelief: Emperor Belos is far laxer, laidback, and expressive than Belos in Canon, complete with some slight [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain incompetent villain]] traits. Though like Toffee and Bill, he sometimes proves he can be as dangerous as his canon self if he sets his mind to it.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike Canon Luz, Beta Luz is a delinquent who [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/663125334270541824 refuses to help change Eda back from her owl beast form and is willing to let King deal with it on his own, much to his chagrin, and tries to run off. The only thing that stops her is the boiling rain.]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** While Boscha in the show itself is a BarbaricBully with only some hints at HiddenDepths, Mark tends to depict her as a deeply insecure person who bullies others out of fear. Several comics have her go through the early stages of a HeelRealization.
** Odalia and Alador are given similar treatment in some comics. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t7a1xa/moringmark_like_mother_like_daughter/ One even implies]] [[TheChainOfHarm Odalia was a victim of]] AbusiveParents as well.
** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in regards to Kikimora in [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680429355240980480 one comic.]] While Kikimora had no qualms with kidnapping Raine in canon, said comic shows Raine (after their memories were altered by Terra) becoming friends with her and taking her out for a day on the town. After an unspecified period of time where Raine learns the truth and bitterly ends their friendship, Kikimora is shown to be very upset by what happened afterward.
* AfraidOfNeedles: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10ckkkk/needles/ The Hexsquad is terrified]] when Camila plans to give them vaccination shots (with Willow even saying "Not the needles!") except for Luz, who is already up to date on her shots. Once Camila announces she's also giving all of them tetanus shots for their wounds, Luz joins the witchlings in shouting a BigNo.
* AfterlifeWelcome: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vo9386/making_amends/ This comic]] shows Philip and Caleb Wittebane reuniting in the afterlife as Hunter kills Belos once and for all.
* AgeAppropriateAngst: Belos' [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uht2kb/the_emperors_new_hunter/ new Golden Guard]] turned out a bit different, which Belos explains as a mishap in accelerating the aging process. As a result, the new Hunter has hit his rebellious teen phase extremely early and fails to do as his creator asks, stating outright that Belos isn't even his real uncle.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: After coming to terms with each other, the Owl Beast still appears in Eda's dreams so she can walk it, using the curse's string as a leash. It also displays other dog-like traits alongside this, and Eda ends up more tired overall because of it.
* AllForNothing:
** A heartwarming variant: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p0f65k/moringmark_the_perfect_first_date/ Amity tires herself out prepping for her first date with Luz]]. She falls asleep, but Luz simply drapes Amity with her jacket and stays in place to let her rest while she enjoy the embrace.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zbgxjk/wingman/ Flapjack's motive for finding the rebus]] was so he could give it to Hunter, he can find the Titan Blood and win everyone's praise, Willow's in particular. Unfortunately, [[SpannerInTheWorks Amity]] trips and finds the rebus first.
* AllJustADream: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sdz7yo/moringmark_sisterly_bondand_regret/ One comic]] opens with Eda waking up just as Lilith was about to put the curse on her, leading the two to have a heart to heart and her admitting that she was going to forfit their match. It seems like a case of ForWantOfANail right up until she admits that she knew was Lilith was about to do and forgives her, at which point Lilith wakes up in the present day and starts crying.
* TheAllSolvingHammer: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xj9l8v/graveyard/ Vee's friends don't know Belos' weakness]], but figure they should use fire because it tends to be fairly effective against everything. It works.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/swb3o0/moringmark_why/ Why Amity ended her friendship with Boscha]]. Their friendship was almost entirely centered on Boscha, to the point where even she can't remember any time they did something Amity wanted. Boscha seems to have a HeelRealization when Amity points this out.
* AlmostKiss: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vgm60j/kiss/ "Kiss"]], after being reassured by Amity that they'll find a way to get back to the Boiling Isles and save everyone, Luz attempts to share a kiss with her, only for Camila to walk in with cocoa tea, prompting them to quickly retract themselves and claim that they're doing nothing.
* AlternateSelf:
** Aside from Witch Luz from ''Witches Among Humans'', there are three variants of Luz that shows up in most of his comics:
*** "Main" Luz is closest to the one seen in the show, a teenager who ended up on the Boiling Isles and studies glyph magic.
*** "Beta" Luz, or Lucia, is a few years older than her main counterpart, wears a jacket and beanie, and wields a baseball bat with glyphs taped to it.
*** "Alpha" Luz wears a striped shirt and has darker hair than her counterparts. She's the only version who can cast magic innately without glyphs, and her version of the Boiling Isles is actually Hell, with her DeadAllAlong.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uzb8uu/counterparts/ "Counterparts"]] has Luz postulate that there are counterparts of people between Earth and the Boiling Isles, after realizing that Amity and Willow resemble the head cheerleader and one of her classmates back on Earth. Willow in turn mentions there was a witch who looked and acted like Luz, Lusine, that she and Gus knew. Emphasis on ''was'' though, as a year prior, Lusine ''[[DeadAlternateCounterpart died]]'' after [[DeathAsComedy drinking soda with Mentos.]] Luz can only admit that certainly ''sounds'' like something she'd do while Amity looks disturbed.
* AmbiguouslyGay: More like "Ambiguously Queer, but not stated how". Vee is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rh0ogw/outfits/ very excited about wearing a pride pin]], but it's not stated where on the LGBT spectrum she falls, though she is presumably sapphic given that she is seen in later strips dating Masha.
* AnArmAndALeg: As in canon, Eda and Lilith can voluntarily abuse this, and Lilith uses it to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/otciy5/under_control/ avoid her coven sigil immobilizing her as per Kikimora's spell]].
* AndShowItToYou: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zz17su/first_do_no_harm/ Among Hettie's abilities]] is the ability to perform instant surgery. She does this by doing a FlashStep and producing what appears to be Darius' kidney when he asks. Though they laugh it off when she reveals its not his kidney, he pauses again when she reveals the kidney belongs to some coven scout.
* AngerBornOfWorry: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r5o2p1/moringmark_titans_teeth/ When Luz retrieves a particularly dangerous to retrieve ingredient for Eda's elixir]], the latter makes clear her displeasure that Luz put herself in such danger, and insists that she at least make sure that she be allowed to tag along on such adventures.
* AnimalEaredHeadband: Parodied in post-"For the Future" comics, with Stringbean serving as the cat-themed headband whenever Luz takes her out in public.
* AnimatedActors:
** One of the ''Owl House'' [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/644552956330541056 comics]] is set up as a Behind the Scenes video with Tiny Nose as the producer of the show.
** A second [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zjdjw4/casting_call/ comic]] detailing how the show in question got their cast. Luz could naturally act out her Season 1 self with her Season 3 look being her default, Amity could blush on demand the moment she found out that she is dating a girl, and Eda is just her sassy self.
* AnimationBump: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11msxza/high_budget_scene/ "High Budget Scene"]] lampshades the instances of this in the show. The characters notice they seem more detailed with Luz thinking it's signaling a "boss fight", while Willow thinks it's preluding a romantic scene like the Lumity kiss. After teasing Hunter and Willow about a potential kiss scene, Luz dismisses a boss fight, noting how weak Belos is now. Belos, in a more detailed monster form than Mark usually draws, cries behind a pillar.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: PlayedWith towards [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z9okyj/siblings/ Luz and Vee's relationship]]: they're ecstatic to have this dynamic, but there's confusion as to ''who's'' the younger sibling since they don't know Vee's exact age.
* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Boscha is shown going through this in strips that focus on post-"King's Tide" Boiling Isles, most prominently seen when she [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w202fd/tag/ deliberately exposes herself to the Collector in a bid to save Skara's life]].
* ApocalypticLog: One of the coven scouts, who is named Clint, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sesfh3/propaganda_coven_presents/ records his experiences]] in the Emperor's Coven as idyllic. He ends up being the one killed (in the puppet show scene) by Hooty in "Agony of a Witch".
-->'''Clint's Diary:''' Dear Diary, [[TemptingFate ...This is going to be the best day of my life.]]
* ApologeticAttacker: Luz apologizes and patches up Lilith with the healing glyphs she just made [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/obmqvf/moringmark_liliths_playing_with_fire_here/ after Lilith scares her with the plant she revived while Luz was sleeping.]]
* ArrangedMarriage: Odalia sets one up between Emira and the Golden Guard while trying to end Emira's relationship with Hunter, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qgybl4/arranged/ unaware that they are the same]].
-->'''Emira:''' Um... actually.\\
'''Hunter:''' (elbowing and whispering to Emira) Wait until the wedding day, that's funnier.\\
'''Emira:''' (whispering back) Good point.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
** Masha assumes that Vee isn't human from her wide range of demon knowledge, eating ten pounds of ice cream in one sitting and pouring milk before cereal.
** Jacob Hopkins is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r1x8x1/moringmark_vee_for_vendetta/ arrested for a long list of petty crimes]] such as littering, defacing public property, shoplifting, forging money, tax fraud, spying on the Nocedas, and stepping on the grass in spite of a sign telling him not to. It is highly implied that it was Vee in disguise doing those actions.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u9rqxs/greatest_fear/ One strip]] shows Eda, Lilith, and Raine facing Grometheus and seeing their worst fears. Lilith's is [[WellDoneSonGuy disappointing her mother]], Raine's is failing to overcome their StageFright, and Eda's is [[MinorWithFakeID not being allowed to drink hard apple blood with her fake ID]]. The last one leaves Lilith, Raine and even Grom unimpressed.
--->'''Eda:''' What?! It's a legit fear!
* ArtImitatesLife: Amity loans Luz an Azura fanfiction she wrote [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lg3xw5/moringmark_the_perfect_fanfiction/ that she based off of their friendship and her crush on Luz]]. A FreudianSlip leads to Luz learning the truth and she heads straight to Amity to embrace her.
* AssimilationBackfire: After possessing Luz' body, the Collector also inherits Luz's [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ud490h/emotions/ rather extensive traumas and mental issues]], including self-doubt, a need to act reckless to prove he's worthy of love, and a compulsive need to lie about his struggles. The others end up wrapping them in a blanket and giving him something to drink, while also agreeing to have a talk with Luz afterward.
* AwesomeButImpractical: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wvpkpt/owlbert_20/ Alador outfits Owlbert with a seat and vehicle parts so Eda's more comfortable on him]], but fails to take into account that Owlbert still has to carry all of that plus Eda. When he suggests attaching a jetpack, Eda questions why he bothers attaching the palisman and not just make a flying vehicle.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/641744450536767488 Edric and Emira]] help Amity escape from home and give her a care package so she can stay at the Owl House, even though they brush off the idea that they did it because they care about her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r3e582/moringmark_more_than_partners/ This pre-Season 2 comic]] shows that although their marriage was a built on a business proposal]], Alador did have feelings for Odalia when they were young and Odalia did appreciate his anniversary gift.
** Boscha shows that she cares more about her friends and rivals than she lets on.
*** When [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vmny4j/apocalypse/ she learns that Amity and Luz are missing and probably dead]], she gets a look of absolute shock and horror on her face, collapses to the ground, and spends the entire night reading Amity's favorite book that she had previously made fun of.
*** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w202fd/tag/ While fighting off a group of Titan Trappers]], she refuses to carry Skara who's got a leg injury. When the Collector shows up and spots Skara after she loses her invisibility medal, Boscha exploits a non-existent rule to get the Collector to leave before they do to Skara what they did to Belos. She plays it off as not wanting to bunk with Amelia but Skara thanks her nonetheless for saving her.
* BackFromTheDead:
** This [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/n67zq7/moringmark_ohwell_meet_again/ strip]] set in the Alpha world has an ambiguous case: after being killed by Emperor Belos, Luz seems to return to life with Owlbert (who was destroyed) either supplying her with his magic or possessing her body.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/647270865228152832 In a timeline where Luz was petrified]], Willow, Gus, and Amity bring her back to life during the moonlight conjuring so they can see her again.
* BadassBookworm: As in canon, Amity not only knows how to kick butt but also... a lot in general. She even knows how to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v8hh0g/troubleshooting/ fix Camila's car]] when it breaks down, thanks to her father buying books on human engineering from Eda and Alador teaching Amity about the subject, at her behest.
* BadBadActing: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u1ives/leaving_the_emperors_coven/ The attempt]] to help Hunter escape from the Emperor's Coven involves faking his death, with Willow faking anguish over his body, which is "impaled" with a spear that clearly has the shaft bent around his torso, while the blood is clearly ketchup. [[OnlySaneMan Kikimora]] is the only one who sees that it is staged and protests this to Belos (who immediately is looking to create a new grimwalker), Darius (who is crying over Hunter's "demise"), and Raine (who apparently couldn't care less and simply drinks their tea).
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter:
** Since Alador is too busy to hang out with Darius, he makes Darius watch over baby Amity for [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ry8yya/babysitting/ a few minutes]]. HilarityEnsues.
** As part of [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u6etrv/ultimate_challenge/ a test]] of Luz and Amity's relationship (likely an attempt by Odalia to break up the young couple), Alador and Odalia task them with babysitting an abomination baby for a week, much to Amity's horror and Luz's delight. Cue them doing all manner of strenuous duties that parents have to do taking care of a baby. By the end of the week, they pass, but have visible ExhaustedEyeBags, ruffled hair, a wide-eyed ThousandYardStare, and can barely hold each other up.
-->'''Luz:''' It... It's okay, we made it.
* BadFuture: An example of this is shown in which the one thing stopping Belos from reaching the human realm is removed: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/667564586121248768 Luz's arrival.]] However, Amity has dreams of her, leading to her and her arranged husband Hunter to research a spell that [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong can alter history]], as Luz makes her arrival to stop Belos.
* BaitAndSwitch: Multiple examples:
** Thrice Selene [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/671822642939052032 does it]] when Luz and Amity approach her to see the fate of their relationship. [[RageBreakingPoint It ends up getting on Amity's nerves]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/plmgqn/one_last_thing/ After Luz does various dangerous tasks for Malphas to get Amity's job back]], he needs her to do one last thing. He describes an act considered evil by many, a heinous deed that will haunt her for the rest of her life... It turns out it's taking a dangerous book from a child and making her cry.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r6gc6g/use_your_words/ When Willow reaches her limit with Boscha's insults,]] she prepares to get violent with her, with Luz's pleas for her to use her words seemingly falling on deaf ears. Willow draws a spell circle to conjure several vines... [[spoiler:which form the words "YOU SUCK", and she somehow manages to intimidate Boscha with it]].
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sq1110/wake_up_luz one comic,]] Amity is seemingly [[PleaseDontLeaveMe begging Luz to stay awake]] while she's covered in red splotches. Turns out the two were attending ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Tomatina La Tomatina]]'' in Spain, and Luz was only sleeping because was that she was jet-lagged.
** When Luz's Palisman egg [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ux3gcd/egg/ starts to hatch,]] a small pillar of fire in the shape of a phoenix emerges... only for the actual Palisman to be a dodo bird. Luz still thinks it's perfect though.
** One comic is titled [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ttrlnb/amity_caught_luz_kissing_another_girl_emotional/ "Amity caught Luz kissing another girl (Emotional)".]] It's their daughter. The comic was also released on April Fools Day.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w64owu/skara_the_planner/ This comic]] shows Skara organizing everyone for something they'll only have one chance to accomplish. It's not a mission: it's making sure Eda and Raine's wedding goes off without a hitch.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x2rcwe/could_it_be/ In this comic]] we see Hunter and Willow seemingly kissing. Turns out she's helping him with makeup to hide the bags under his eyes. This leads to a very annoyed Flapjack when it turns out Clover dragged him all the way over to see for nothing.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x4v43i/braid/ "Braid"]] has Willow asking Amity and Hunter if one of them could braid her hair. After four rounds of "Rock, Paper, Scissors", Hunter wins much to Amity's annoyance... then it turns out ''the winner'' is the one who would do it.
** In a comic titled "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xok3kw/raeda_angst/ Raeda Angst]]", Raine is somberly telling Eda that "They just can't take it anymore" while one panel focuses on their wedding ring, implying their relationship isn't working out. [[spoiler:It turns out they were talking about how much their back hurts from sleeping in a nest with Eda, so she builds a combination of her nest and Raine's bed as a compromise.]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ydyu37/whatever_works/ After Jacob injures Masha,]] Vee seems ready to transform and attack him in her basilisk form. Instead, she tells him to [[LookBehindYou look behind him]] before hitting him with [[ArmedWithPepperSpray pepper spray]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zht8nr/the_l_word/ Luz asks Amity]] if they could say the "L" word out loud since [[CannotSpitItOut they haven't said it to each other yet]]. She agrees, [[spoiler:but it's not love; it's "Lumity".]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yt7tnk/what_could_have_been/ Philip and Caleb are arguing while fire surrounds them and Philip's holding a knife]]. It looks like Philip's about murder his brother, but he's actually just heavily opposed to the idea of serving well-done steak at Evelyn's barbeque.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/znfbl6/duel/ Evelyn is holding her staff and Caleb is holding a pitchfork as if they are about to have a duel,]] but they ended up making out instead. Caleb explains to his brother that the lipstick marks on his face were bite marks.
** In a call-back to the first time, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zo6v38/future/ Selene shows Luz and Amity the future,]] and it looks like Luz was about to marry Hunter much to Amity's anger and Luz's confusion. It turns out to be a wedding between Luz and Amity where Hunter was walking Luz down the aisle.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10lsfjo/reason_and_logic/ When confronted by Odalia in the Archive House]], Camila stops Amity from arguing with her ex-mother by saying she'll destroy her with "reason and logic". She then proceeds to beat Odalia up with her bat (reason) and chancla (logic).
--->'''Luz:''' (''watching and [[PassThePopcorn eating popcorn]]'') My mom gives nicknames to all her stuff.
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11l03hc/question/ this]] comic, Eda asks that the children confronting the Collector cover their ears, as what she's about to say isn't safe for children... and then asks Puppet Raine Belos what her favorite swear word is.
* BathroomControl: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zvnp8j/knight_of_the_kitchen/ "Knight of the Kitchen"]], after Hunter becomes DrunkWithPower upon being named "[[TitleDrop Knight of the Kitchen]]" by Camila and starts lording it over Amity, she gets even by having herself declared Knight of the Bathroom and holding Hunter up when he needs to use the toilet.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11zlamn/bard/ This comic]] has Raine trying to expel Belos from their mindscape and puppet body. Belos reminds Raine that he's not physically there so their bard magic won't do anything and they can't hurt him in any way. [[TemptingFate Except maybe killing him with words]]. Raine proceeds to conjure a trumpet and reenact the "Trumpet Boy" meme to annoy Belos out of them.
->'''Raine:''' '''''DOOT'''''\\
'''Belos:''' (while Raine plays) Hey, stop it. Cut it out. Ugh, this is childish.

--->'''Eda:''' How was the sleepover, girls?\\
'''Amity:''' Everything was great, except for the sleep part.\\
'''Luz:''' I'm so sorry.
* BeachEpisode:
** Discussed in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ut4277/beach_episode/ one comic]] where everyone goes to the beach for the day, with Luz even saying the trope by name. In addition, she talks about the trope further when several characters unintentionally act out clichés found in beach episodes, like [[{{Fanservice}} everyone having an excuse to wear a bathing suit]] (shown through Katya, Amber, and Derwin playing with a beach ball while wearing bathing suits), [[AmusingInjuries someone getting hit by a beach ball]] (shown through Lilith getting hit by the former three's beach ball), [[BeachBury people getting buried in the sand in an amusing way]] (shown through Raine chastizing Eda for accidentally burying Steve's head in the sand while leaving his legs exposed), and [[ShipTease ship teasing]] (shown through Hunter trying to look cool for Willow, who is actually trying to warn him about a shark attack later revealed to be a prank by Hooty wearing a fake shark fin).
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x0phwk/its_gonna_be_okay/ Later on]], Amity takes Luz to the beach so she takes a break from doing research on the portal door. She succeeds and Luz manages to relax and enjoy it with her.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vrjqfc/be_careful_what_you_wish_for/ A comic named this]] has Amity watching Ghost making friends with an Earth cat and saying that maybe she'll learn from them how to be a "real" cat. Sure enough, Ghost begins indulging in all of the negative traits that a regular cat has much to Amity's exasperation.
** After they've been dating for a bit, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z3kozb/second_face/ Azura thinks she and Hecate should stop ignoring her second face]]. Hecate warns her her second face is creepy, but Azura thinks she can handle it. She is instantly proven wrong.
--->'''Hecate:''' Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you.\\
(Hecate turns her head and Azura moves her hair away)\\
'''Second Face:''' I can feel '''everything''' when you kiss the other face.\\
(Azura pushes the hair back)\\
'''Azura:''' I'm not talking to her again.\\
'''Hecate:''' Told ya.
** Since she is a vet, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11hzsbs/a_whole_month_of_this/ Camila asks Viney to grant her the ability to understand animals for a month]]. Cue hearing all of their cries of anguish about their various predicaments along with other unneeded information back at the office.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: As a child, Eda [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oztteg/moringmark_how_hooty_and_eda_met/ found]] Hooty having accidentally tied himself around a branch, and helped him loose. Years later, Hooty was hunting in the forest outside of the Owl House when he saw a pair of coven guards arriving to arrest Eda. Remembering her from all those years ago, Hooty beat up the guards and made himself at home in the Owl House to protect his friend. Eda can't remember it, and Hooty doesn't intend on saying anything.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Hooty somehow is the one behind the myths of the [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qqvzf5/hooty/ Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, how the pyramids and Stonehenge were built and the Bermuda triangle.]] [[BreadEggsMilkSquick He's also responsible for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang]], meaning the entire universe was just [[TheSingularity an extension of Hooty]].
* BehavioralConditioning: Hunter reflexively punches people who pass in front of him as he sleeps in the shins; [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ymuqxf/reflex/ a few months back, he had trained himself to punch Kikimora in the gut should she try to assassinate him in his sleep.]]
* BerateAndSwitch: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yhezmo/soda/ "Soda"]] has Luz and Amity having said drink, and when Camila catches them burping, this happens:
-->'''Camila:''' Oh no, you two are not starting a burping contest-\\
'''Amity:''' (''tenses up'') Sorry, Mrs. Noceda. I-\\
'''Camila:''' ...without me!! (''Amity is surprised and Luz grins.'')
* BigDamnHeroes:

** Implied. Luz, Amity and Eda put together a party to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/psjbse/moringmark_its_all_for_you_king/ celebrate the day Eda accidentally adopted King]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wf7dc5/quiet/ This strip]] has the survivors in the Boiling Isles celebrate Eda's birthday, [[ForgotTheirOwnBirthday which she forgot.]] Back on Earth, Luz somberly does the same alone.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x9wadt/birthday_gift/ A few issues]] and a [[TimeSkip 7-year flash-forward later]], everyone celebrates Luz's 21st birthday.
* BizarreAlienBiology:
** Because he's a Grimwalker, not only is Hunter able to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uj9ni6/bat_queen eat books]], [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xtpj0g/heartbeat/ he also has a magic gemstone for a heart]] and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yfozk1/floating/ floats on water like driftwood]].
** Apparently, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wispym/purr/ witches purr like cats]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xk5q6k/feeding_time/ Palismen are fed like plants]]; they sit in pots and absorb nutrients from potting mix.
* BlackComedy: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xcdl36/agony_of_a_witch_but_its_chibi_tiny_tales/ One comic]] recaps the scene where Eda succumbs to her curse in the format of ''WesternAnimation/ChibiTinyTales''.
* {{Blackmail}}: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10qvdpn/to_be_a_leader/ Refusing to let Boscha lead the Hexside resistance due to her conspiring with Kikimora]], Matt threatens her to give up leadership to him by threatening to show everybody a memory photo that makes it look like she has a crush on him. Unwilling to risk her reputation, Boscha relents and is impressed by how he did her dirty.
* BlindWithoutEm: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rfhb1u/glasses/ When]] a younger Lilith tries to get Eda to join the Emperor's Coven, Eda recalls how Lilith's vision fares poorly without glasses, which Lilith vehemently denies [[IResembleThatRemark while addressing Eda's shadow instead of Eda herself]].
* BluntYes: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rv3925/in_the_diner/ While Vee recaps a story about her previous life having to eat garbage in the Boiling Isles,]] Masha asks if she was trying to guilt trip them into sharing their cheesecake. Vee says yes, and Masha just hands the entire slice to her.
* BodyHorror: Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ug0hql/awakening_warning_disturbing_content_involving/ dreams]] of waking up in the middle of his creation, and conveniently as Belos complains to the Collector about the quality of their selkidomus scales, which acts as synthetic skin. As such, once he looks at his hands, he screams at the sight of a pair of skinless hands. [[DissonantSerenity Neither Belos or the Collector pay any mind to Hunter or his screaming, and Belos simply puts him back to sleep and wipes his memory]].
* BodySnatcher: The Collector [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ud490h/emotions/ possesses Luz's body,]] causing her skin to turn yellow and blue, her eyes to turn red, and her hair to turn white. [[AssimilationBackfire He then realizes that possessing Luz comes with some significant mental trauma]].
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rsvdxp/food_for_thought/ "Food For Thought"]], Eda points out that Tarak has no right to give parental advice regarding King, given that Tarak abandoned King. Tarak agrees to this, but also points out that Eda isn't much better- most parents don't let eight year olds run around naked with only a collar.
* BornInTheWrongCentury: Parodied in "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z2pur3/nuclear_solution/ Nuclear Solution]]", where Belos somehow builds a nuclear bomb using his "advanced knowledge from the 1600s".
* BouquetToss: Raine [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ujzpg4/bouquet_toss/ does this]] during their and Eda's wedding, leading to several characters using their magical abilities to try and get it first. Luz manages to get the bouquet after everyone else gets knocked out from the skirmish.
* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: In this [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q6mv2q/moringmark_her_blessing_13/ three]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q80rop/moringmark_23/ part]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q9cupc/moringmark_her_blessing_33/ comic]], Odalia convinces Luz to end her relationship with Amity to protect her from being apprehended by the Emperor's Coven and [[TakenForGranite petrified.]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Amity]] and [[MamaBear Eda]], however, [[WhatTheHellHero are having]] [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone none of it.]]
* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: In the comic [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v646k2/promise/ promise]], while the two are playing games together Amity assures her and Luz's infant daughter that she is going to raise her right. The language she uses pretty explicitly calls to mind how [[AbusiveParents Odalia]] treated Amity when she was a child, specifically with Amity stating that she is going to do the opposite of what Odalia did.
* BreakoutMookCharacter: Explored in [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680882339932504064 one strip]] focusing on Steve. After being chosen by one of the wri- [[VerbalBackspace er, gods]], Steve gradually gains more and more unique traits that set him apart from the other Emperor's Coven mooks... only to be killed off later on. The writer explains that they wanted a martyr to motivate the gang, but that they didn't want to make it one of the main characters, so they just built up Steve over the course of the series so his death could be that motivator.
* BridalCarry:
** To repay Luz [[CallBack for helping with her injured leg]], [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s9cbdu/eye_of_the_tiger_playing_in_the_background/ Amity works out to be strong enough to carry her after she gets hurt]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t3h7fz/treatment/ Vee carries Masha]] after they fake getting hurt during a soccer game, which leads Masha to asking Vee out on a date.
* BringIt: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w64owu/skara_the_planner/ "Skara the Planner"]], Skara is planning Eda and Raine's wedding, and tries to cover all her bases. Everything seemingly goes well, until Boscha informs her that Hooty's eaten half the food and is swimming in the punch, which from there, [[DisasterDominoes problems keep mounting]]. Skara's only reaction? "...Bring it on."
* BringMyBrownPants: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vbcv94/trapped/ When Jacob Hopkins attempts to capture Vee and bring her to the authorities]], she transforms and declares she'll feast on his bowels. Jacob says he needs those before running away.
* BrutalHonesty: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w2tgee/mittens/ Emira doesn't hold back]] when Alador asks her and Edric if he's a bad father, adding they know he's trying to be better.
* BullSeeingRed: In "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rda6yy/spider_bull/ Spider Bull]]", Willow assures Amity that the aforementioned creature is peaceful unless it sees the color red... right when Luz chooses to kiss Amity, making her blush.
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: Both versions of the Golden Guard shown on [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tfjaib/youre_watching_emperors_coven_channel/ crystal ball]] do this, the western animation version directly referencing the TropeNamer and the anime version referencing Anime/SailorMoon.
* CactusCushion: When Boscha falls off a ladder while putting up decorations outside of Hexside, Willow conjures up some plants underneath her to cushion her fall. Unfortunately for Boscha, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649173402272284673 this trope comes into play.]]
-->'''Boscha:''' (''angry and in agony, while Luz and Willow remove the cactus needles and bandage her'') [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You. Did that. On purpose.]]\\
'''Willow:''' Sorry, but those are the softest plants around.
* CanonMarchesOn: Happens fairly often, as Mark's comics are created alongside the actual series as it comes out. As a result, details appear that are contradictory to what happens in canon, such as Lilith using a time-traveling spell as opposed to Luz and her seeking out time pools or the impostor being actively malicious and being able to access the Demon Realm as opposed to being a scared basilisk who simply took over Luz's life because it was overall better than her earlier life.
** An example of this would be one take of how Eda and King met; [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/nkqh18/moringmark_a_new_friendship/ this comic]] has King meet Eda in present day Bonesborough over splitting her lunch and drumming up business for her human junk stand before deciding to stay with her, when "Echoes of the Past" revealed that she found him as an infant 8 years ago on an island far off the Isles' coast.
** This [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qj25ap/moringmark_a_new_friend/ comic]] shows Willow befriending Gus due to the latter trying to help her pass an abomination class assignment using his illusions and getting in trouble for it, a contrast to Willow helping Gus out of a panic attack when they were younger in "Labyrinth Runners".
** Also happens in the comics itself as it makes new strips that focus on those reveals. For example, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rzt5nf/fishing_trip/ Vee is shown going on a fishing trip with Manny]], but later on he would be revealed as having died some time ago.
** Many of the comics made post-"King's Tide" but pre-"For the Future" that are set on the Collector ruled Boiling Isles are strikingly different from what would eventually be shown; The landscape is reduced to an endless sandy desert rather than more colorful, more child-geared. The Collector simply forces whoever they come across to play games instead of turning them into dolls/puppets for their role-play with King. Eda leads a nomadic resistance movement that consists of many characters who are either under the Collector's thumb, are holed up in Hexside, or are presumed to be turned into his toys.
* CantHoldHerLiquor: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x9wadt/birthday_gift/ On Luz's 21st birthday,]] Eda gifts her some apple blood, now that she is of legal drinking age. It takes only one shot for Luz to get wasted enough to drunkenly admire Amity's many qualities very audibly to her girlfriend and fall over briefly before getting back up, to Amity's embarrassment, anguish, annoyance, and Eda's disappointment.
* CassandraTruth:
** Eda [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rjy4rj/no_one_will_believe_you/ abuses this]] to get away with being found by an aircraft pilot, telling them via Etch-a-sketch that they'd sound insane for telling their superiors that the detected UFO was a woman flying a broomstick through the air. The pilot simply says the UFO was a weather balloon to call off the search.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x38f0x/family/ Boscha tries to tell her mothers]] about Belos' plans to kill them all using the Draining Spell, but they dismiss it despite her protests, not acknowledging it until Belos activates it on the Day of Unity, at which point they are forced to admit to Boscha that she was right.
* Catch22Dilemma: Played with in that it's Amity who sees someone else's options like this. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11wjmrr/illusion_of_choice/ Hunter talks about]] whether he would want Camila or Darius as his legal guardian, but when he brings up both options, Amity realizes that eventually, Hunter would still be her brother in some way,[[note]]If Camila becomes Hunter's guardian, Luz and Amity getting married would make Hunter Amity's brother-in-law, and if Darius becomes Hunter's guardian, Alador and Darius getting married would make Hunter Amity's step-brother[[/note]] leading to a massive SpitTake from her.
* CatharticCrying: "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u4jjbp/letting_it_out/ Letting It Out]]", which is set after the ending of "Reaching Out", has Amity comforting Luz and telling her to not bottle up her feelings to the people she loves. She's soon cut off as Luz starts crying and falls silent as she continues to hold her.
* CatsAreMean: Ghost can be mean when she wants, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pkbx02/scars/ as Hunter experiences firsthand]].
* CaughtMonologuing: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w4hf5n/abomatron/ In "Abomatron"]], Kikimora, now working for the Collector, arrives to [[{{Pun}} collect]] Eda and everyone else. Unfortunately for Kiki, she opens her Abomatron's cockpit, and while she's ranting, Eda [[CombatPragmatist shoots her with a sleeping dart]].
-->'''Kikimora:''' [[CurseCutShort You mother]]-\\
''(faceplants on the ground)''
* ChewOutFakeOut: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12yka61/comment/jhnmado/ Hunter ends up getting called to Hexside]] after his daughter hit her RageBreakingPoint in a fight with a bully and beat up half of the student body. He seems annoyed at first, only to admit that he's very proud of her.
* ChildishPillowFight: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662672349391437824 Luz starts one with Amity and Hunter]], but the latter two soon go after each other in actual combat that ends with them buried in feathers.
* CloneArmy: In several comics such as [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/650260565443461120 this one]], the Emperor's Coven has all their foot soldiers be clones of Steve, all of whom are named Steve. Belos even refers to them as his 'Steve Army' a few times.
* CoffeeShopAUFic: One strip, aptly named [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vy3x92/hollow_mind_but_like_coffee_shop_au_or_something/ "Hollow Mind but, like, Coffee Shop AU or something"]], has Luz and Hunter working in a coffee shop with Philip as their senior coworker. Philip [[BitchInSheepsClothing acts like a caring and encouraging mentor to Hunter]], but is really faking so he can convince Bump to hand the coffee shop to him and then sell it to a big corporation. [[RightBehindMe At least until he finds out that Luz and Hunter had overheard his evil monologue]].
* ColonyDrop: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yxr2n2/running_out_of_time/ "Running Out of Time"]], the Hexsquad returns to the Boiling Isles, only to discover the Collector found Eda's video game collection and, taking inspiration from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', gave the moon his split face and pulled it from the sky. They now have only two days ([[LeaningOnTheFourthWall episodes]]) left to stop them before the moon crashes into the Boiling Isles and destroys it.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661675783000080384 At one point]], Amity asks Luz to identify the flavor of her lip gloss while puckering her lips. Luz's response is to eye Amity's lips before asking Willow if she knows the flavor. After Willow states, that she doesn't know, [[LateToTheRealization it takes about a minute for it to click]] what Amity was attempting to insinuate.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u49n51/crush/ Raine tells Eda]] they have a crush on someone studying potions with long, puffy hair, talent in grudgby, and whose last name begins with "C". A shocked Eda assumes Raine likes Lilith instead of her.
* CommonalityConnection:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tbrn1d/the_intruder/ After a rocky first meeting]], Hunter and Hooty bond over their shared feelings of being unappreciated.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u0j1wn/aladors_blessing/ This ends up being the reason why]] Luz received Alador's blessing to date Amity. Alador was as socially inept and ObliviousToLove regarding Odalia's feelings for him as Luz was in the human realm and with Amity's crush on her: he sees a kindred spirit in her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vubg0l/vee_and_hunter/ After Vee brushes off all of Hunter's attempts to help her]] and she accuses him of feeling indebted to her, he confesses she's right and that he's trying so hard because they were both created by Belos as expendable tools. This gets Vee to be a little open to accepting his help.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zuadlq/after_all_these_years/ After the Day of Unity]], Darius and Alador come across Odalia working as a FortuneTeller and charging loads of snails for it. Darius asks if Alador misses her, and after he confirms he doesn't, the two share a moment of solidarity in both hating Odalia.
* ComplimentFishing: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sfiwgk/moringmark_a_good_and_happy_boy/ This comic]] shows Hunter faking his death in order to get a few compliments from Luz and Amity. Too bad for him Luz catches on and decides to pull a BatmanGambit by slapping him.
* CompulsiveLiar: One of Luz's habits that the Collector [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ud490h/emotions/ inherits when he steals her body]] is a need to lie about their struggles so people don't worry about them.
* ConeOfShame: Hooty needs to wear one [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qjqyyt/the_cone_of_shame/ in one comic]] after he scratches himself too much, but refuses to go along with it. Luz manages to get him to wear one by dressing up as Kikimora for Halloween.
* ContinuityNod: Comics created during the post-season 2 hiatus do have a loose sense of continuity. For example, most Earthside comics set after "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wtjzlx/blending_in/ Blending In]]" show the Hexsquad using concealment stones that Gus made to hide their ears in public, ones featuring Eda that came out after "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w64owu/skara_the_planner/ Skara the Planner]]" usually have her wearing a wedding band, comics set after "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xk5q6k/feeding_time/ Feeding Time]]" will occasionally show a palisman being fed through absorbing nutrients from a pot like plants.
* ContrivedCoincidence:
** {{Parodied|Trope}} in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1177d60/postending/ "Post-Ending"]]. When Luz and Amity go to a book signing for ''The Good Witch Azura'', they meet the author, Mildred Featherwhyle, with Luz thanking her for changing their lives and revealing Amity is a real witch to her. Mildred then proceeds to reveal that ''she's'' also a witch from the Boiling Isles too, had moved to the Human Realm after Belos banned Wild Magic, has her own portal door, and owns a research paper written by Philip called "How to befriend the Collector in 5 simple steps". Luz is left exasperated that there was someone who had everything they needed the entire time, and they just happened to be the author of her favorite book series.
--->'''Luz:''' [[RageBreakingPoint You had solutions to all our problems this whole time?!]]\\
'''Amity:''' Luz, breathe.
** Happens again in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12fmyql/once_a_fan/ "Once A Fan..."]]. Luz and Amity's child finds one of their old ''Good Witch Azura'' books, and after Luz talks about moving on after the series ended ([[RippedFromTheHeadlines a nod to the fact that the comic was uploaded the same day as the series finale of the show these characters are from]]), Amity bursts in screaming to let her wife know that more ''Azura'' media was just announced, much to their collective joy.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment:
** After Luz, Amity, Gus, Willow, and King [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/unn1rs/interrogation/ capture a Scout Captain,]] they try threatening to throw him into the Boiling Sea, melting him with King's sonic attack, dismemberment by vines, and experiencing an illusion of his worst nightmare. When he's unfazed by all of those, Luz decides to put him through something far worse: [[spoiler:lame jokes from Hooty]]. Cue the Captain begging for mercy and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone the kids all becoming horrified at what they are doing to him]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v9jyjl/belos_punishment/ After capturing and bottling Philip in a jar while in the human world]], Hunter and Willow are furious to learn that he killed his own brother for [[DisproportionateRetribution falling in love with a witch]]. So they get back at him by "acting" like they're dating, even holding hands to rub it in.
* CripplingOverspecialization: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tnnhqf/willow_vs_terra/ While Terra is far more skilled at plant magic than Willow, she's helpless in hand-to-hand combat,]] [[CurbStompBattle as the physically fit Willow demonstrates]].
* CrushBlush: As is to be expected, Luz and Amity multiple times. Willow and Hunter get plenty of these post-"King's Tide" on Earth, & Vee and Masha also share one when they get together.
* CrushFilter:
** After insisting she and Hunter are JustFriends, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vnghye/crush_filter/ Luz explains she'll see when the sparkles and bubbles appear]]. Willow doesn't think it's real, but after Hunter protects her from a ladybug, she suddenly sees it around him, and realizes Luz was right.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10gxng3/in_ultrahd_4k/ Willow gets some new perscription glasses from an optometrist]]. While everyone looks extremely detailed, Hunter in particular looks ruggedly handsome to her now.
* CueTheFlyingPigs: Boscha says [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1118vto/how_about_now/ she'll stop calling Willow "half-a-witch" when pigs fly]]. When Luz using Stringbean doesn't get her to say it, Eda kicks Tibbles over their heads.
* CultureClash: In the Human Realm, exchanging jewelry is simply a friendly gesture or a cute thing between couples. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12xgr4n/just_roll_with_it_masha/ In the Demon Realm, it's basically a marriage proposal]].
* CurbStompBattle: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10xvfci/they_are_pretty_op/ On one occasion]], Jacob attempts to fight the Hexsquad, Masha, King and the Collector wearing his armor and armed with a taser. They break every bone in his body and he ends up in a [[BandageMummy full-body cast]].
* CurseCutShort: During Willow's CatharticCrying [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10kz8vo/letting_it_out/ moment under Hexside,]] Willow lets out more of her emotional hangups, including how she feared how Hunter was on the verge of death at the cemetery, and particularly how she was tired of getting bullied by Boscha. She then starts using an F word before we [[DistantReactionShot cut to]] a surprised Luz and Camila out in the woods, a shocked [[JawDrop Boscha]], Amity, and Matt in another tunnel, a stunned Lilith and Eda with King in front of them, and Belos-possessed Puppet Raine and Collector in his bedroom who are both perplexed by what they just heard.
-->'''Willow:''' '''''BOSCHA CAN GO F-'''''\\
''(reaction shots)''\\
'''The Collector:''' Woah, that's the loudest swear word I've ever heard!
* CuteMonsterGirl: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yj9gfh/demon/ When]] some trick or treaters question Vee's "costume", they don't believe she's actually a demon because "Demons aren't supposed to be cute". This statement moves Vee so much, the next panel shows her [[TearsOfJoy wiping away some of her tears]] after giving away all the candy in the bowl she had to the three trick or treaters.
* CutenessOverload: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s0lmox/meeting_ghost/ When Luz meets Ghost for the first time]], she can't help taking pictures on her phone every time the palisman does something adorable. Unfortunaltely she takes so many that eventually, the battery dies.
-->'''Amity:''' Don't worry. My dad'll make you a battery of some sort.
* CutenessProximity:
** Eda uses King's cuteness to distract the Coven scouts while [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/657236531379044352 she steals the Palistrom wood for Luz]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/udh01a/beast_keeping_on_earth/ Viney's reaction]] to Luz unleashing a group of chow chows on her as a beast for her to tame.
--->'''Viney:''' {{Squee}}! You look like a wittle marshmallow rain cloud! (gets licked by the chow chow she's holding) So that's how you treat emotional scars.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vzpfg5/baby_outfit/ While searching through Luz's old clothes]], Amity becomes captivated by an otter costume Manny had her wear as a baby and has Ghost wear it so she and Luz can take pictures.
** When Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wg1zlz/basilisk/ introduces the Hexsquad to Vee]], Willow, Gus, and Amity gush over how adorable she is for a basilisk, subverting her belief that they'd be afraid of her. However, their invasive attention makes her wish they did.
--->'''Vee:''' Heeelp meee... ''(Gus pats her head, Willow hugs her, and Amity takes a picture of them on her scroll)''\\
'''Luz:''' Aww, see? They aren't scared of you.\\
'''Vee:''' Noooo! This is worse!
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12d1fq5/first_met/ "First Met"]] has Luz introducing King to Stringbean. King gets jealous of her when Luz calls her the cutest, and tries to assert that he's cuter, before Stringbean turns into a copy of Francois. King hugs her and concedes.
--->'''King:''' Now listen here... Stringbean. We both know who's the cutest one here- That would be- ''(sees Stringbean-Francois)'' You... shall be Francois's little sister.
* CuttingTheKnot: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/otciy5/under_control/ Kikimora tries to immobilize Lilith with her coven sigil]], however, due to the curse she's simply able to remove the hand the sigil is on.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/umv9wi/hugging_lesson/ Gus tries to coach Hunter on how to properly hug with Edric volunteering,]] but he reflexively ends up attacking Edric with his hand-to-hand combat techniques.
* DanceBattler: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11261c4/shall_we/ "Shall We?"]] has Hunter and Willow pull off their own version of Luz and Amity's Grom dance, with Belos in place of Grometheus.
* DarkerAndEdgier:
** An alternate version of the Owl House is occasionally shown based on an earlier concept for the show, which was darker than what we have now, with Hooty being a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/672456821968142336 much more feral predator]] that proclaims upon meeting Luz that he sees her as a thing to both play with and eat. This is still played for laughs regardless. [[DeadAllAlong Also the Demon Realm in this version might be]] [[{{Hell}} the ACTUAL demon realm]].
** One even has a ContentWarning placed in front of it. It shows the creation of Hunter from his perspective as he wakes up earlier than Belos or the Collector expected, and starts screaming in horror at the sight of [[{{Squick}} his body being nothing but muscle]]. The final page reveals it to be a nightmare Hunter is having before he gazes at the scars on his hands, implying a connection between the two.
** As of the Season 2 finale, most comics have been split between the Hexsquad's experiences on Earth and the witches' survival in the Collector's remade Boiling Isles. That said, there have still been comedic strips in the Boiling Isles.
* DatePeepers: When [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uavdah/spying_spot/ Willow and Hunter are on a date,]] Gus tries spying on them, only to find Darius doing the same next to him. They proceed to argue who should have the current spot they are at and get into a WimpFight that gives their presence away to the daters, who uncomfortably try to pretend that they are still unaware.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Played straight with Odalia and initially downplayed and eventually subverted with Alador with respect to Lumity. The former clearly does not like the fact that her daughter is dating Luz the human and spends multiple appearances in the comics trying to break up the young couple. Alador, in one strip, is content with letting them date but makes clear that he does not fully approve of the relationship until a conversation with Luz causes him to realize they aren't that different, after which he gives his full blessing to the couple.
** Hunter and Willow use this to their advantage in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v9jyjl/belos_punishment/ another comic.]] When they capture the remains of [[TheWitchHunter Belos]] in a jar, their method of torture is to tell him that they're dating and make a show of holding hands in front of him.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: Willow and Gus [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uzb8uu/counterparts/ once knew]] someone named Lusine, a witch who looked very similar to Luz and was just as gung-ho about trying new things, as it turned out [[UndignifiedDeath she apparently died a year ago after downing two bottles of human soda and a handful of mints]].
-->'''Willow:''' (somberly) She was so young.\\
'''Luz:''' (horrified) Yup, definitely sounds like me.
* DeadAllAlong: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/664393691989000192 One strip]] in the Alpha world has Belos explain to Luz that the "Demon Realm" is actually some form of Hell and that the portal door Luz remembered entering through was actually the headlight of an oncoming car that ran her over after running off in the rain and tripping on the curb. Also counts as DeathOfAChild.
* DeadpanSnarker: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/107f2xq/snarkiness/ Turns out Gus mastered being one]] from watching Amity. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to keep from mouthing off to the wrong person.
* DeathByDespair: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662038170582532096 In this comic]], after its companion dies, the Titan falls near its final resting place, eventually decaying into the Boiling Isles.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vo9386/making_amends/ In this strip]], as Hunter delivers the final blow to Belos, Belos finds himself as Philip Wittebane meeting Caleb in a state of limbo. Caleb, despite being murdered by Philip centuries ago, still hasn't given up on saving his brother's soul and offers him a chance to make amends. Philip, moved by this offer, takes it and the scene cuts to Belos in the real world dying, apologizing to Caleb for everything he has done.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t0bq9g/moringmark_the_kissing_game/ The Kissing Game]]" depicts Luz trying to score a point in a game where she and Amity sneak up on each other to give surprise kisses, yet it's difficult to sneak up on Amity. She manages to get a point when Gus tricks Amity with an illusion of Luz and [[SoreLoser Amity internally takes it hard]].
* DejaVu:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zqp9d4/cat/ Amity]] gets this feeling when she sees Luz manage to charm an angry cat after a few seconds when she was initially hostile towards her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zfzq5g/deja_vu/ This comic]] showing Luz trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop pretty much speaks for itself with its title.
* DelayedReaction: When Belos gets hit with a flaming arrow, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xj9l8v/graveyard/ he doesn't start screaming until his whole arm starts catches fire]].
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vryj3d/compliments/ After]] being praised for learning how to drive in a single day, Hunter starts to do more chores around the house in order to get more compliments from Camila.
-->'''Camila:''' Your friend really likes doing chores.\\
'''Luz:''' Nah, he just doesn't get compliments often, ...or at all.
* DestroyTheEvidence: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654699816211922945 When Luz donates her Azura Vol. 5 to the library]], Amity finds a drawing of Luz as "Luzura". Luz sees the back of the page has a drawing of Amity saving her from an Abomaton, and proceeds to eat the paper right as Amity turns it around.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vlw60t/willow_with_a_dark_side/ "Willow with a Dark Side"]], when Gus describes the Gympie-Gympie plant, Willow fantasizes about using it to torture Boscha, into leaving them alone. She then notices her friends staring at her with horrified expressions, prompting her to ask this trope. They immediately confirm it in unison.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** Belos tells Luz how he can see her through the scrying potion to freak her out. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654428028904030208 Luz then plays the tuba when he's trying to sleep.]]
** While Luz and Amity initially [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/shvwvt/moringmark_theyre_dressing_up_and_traveling/ decide to go to Paris]] while exploring the human realm, Luz realizes that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome flying at thirty miles per hour on her staff will take forever to make the thirty-five-thousand mile trip]], so they decide to go to New York instead.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vywksq/first_date/ When Hunter prepares for his first date with Willow]], he spends an hour on his hair, forgetting he still needs to hide his ears, making it AllForNothing.
** The Collector possesses Luz, only to end up mentally paralyzed by her emotional state.
** {{Lampshaded}} [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w5bceh/didnt_think_this_through/ by the title of this comic]], where Belos realizes too late that by purging all the magic out of his body, the five magic users can [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown effortlessly beat down]] on the now powerless old man.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ycc0jw/shes_finemostly/ Belos possesses Odalia]] to fight the Hexsquad in an attempt to traumatize Amity. He completely fails to account for the fact that Amity had completely disowned her mother and gets mercilessly beat up as a result.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yzci6a/couch/ Eda and Luz are having difficulty getting Eda's couch back into the Owl House]], since it's too wide to get through the front door. Luz gets the idea to pull it through the window upstairs. It works... but the couch is ''still'' too wide to fit through the doors.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11xhpzy/embrace_the_anarchy/ Odalia]] attempts to kick her family out of the manor after the Collector is dealt with, but Amity points out that since the Emperor's Coven was just overthrown, the contract she has is essentially null and void. She then tries to threaten the family using her Abomatons, only for Amity to easily disable them. She predictably gets stuck face first to a tree in Abomination goo while the others take back the manor.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/121mpy2/rock_paper_scissors/ To earn Lilith's freedom]], the Collector lets King choose a game to play. King chooses Rock, Paper Scissors. They get through two rounds before they both realize this won't work since King only has two fingers, making it impossible to tell what sign King throws.
* DidYouGetANewHaircut: The PeekABangs kid says this as Vee reveals her true form.
* DieOrFly: Downplayed. Upon returning to the human world, Luz has broken several school records during gym class. When Principal Hal asks how she got so strong, Luz remarks that it's due to summer camp. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/116axid/more_like_boot_camp/ What really happened]] was that she poked a werewolf in the Boiling Isles and wound up running, swimming and cycling away from it.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: The Titan's canine companion had been fatally injured by a wild canine Titan, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662038170582532096 dying]] as the Titan holds its head gently.
* DistractedByTheSexy:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ Titan Luz, King, and the Hexsquad prepare to fight the Archivists]]... except for Amity, who's too distracted by her girlfriend's Titan form.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12zih38/picnic/ After a tiring day at the University of Wild Magic]], Eda wants to go on a picnic with Raine, but they decline as they're still working on the sigil removal procedure, and ask to reschedule.

''(Raine glares)''\\
''(later)''\\
'''Eda:''' Yay!\\
'''Raine:''' ''(blushing)'' I...I couldn't concentrate.
* DoesntKnowTheirOwnBirthday: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/679160997608620032 One comic]] shows Hunter never knew his own birthday because Belos never told him when it was, and he never bothered to ask. After learning this, Luz, along with Willow and Gus, decides to throw a little surprise party for Hunter. While he's unhappy at first, he eventually starts to enjoy himself and decides that he will celebrate his birthday every year on the same day as the party.
* DontAsk:
** Amity has an abomination that follows her around and imitates her every move. When she tries swatting a fly, she lifts her book when it lands and tries to slam her book on it. Unfortunately, the abomination does the same and ends up whacking Amity [[CranialEruption herself on the head.]] Luz notices it, prompting Amity to [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/644915343742140416 respond with this trope]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p30gca/moringmark_dont_ask/ One comic]] is actually named this. During their battle at Eclipse Lake, Hunter gloats at how Amity can't land a hit on him while he's teleporting around her. The last time, she figures out where he'll be and hits him in the face with a frying pan. When he delivers the portal key to Belos who inquires about the new gap in his teeth, Hunter says he doesn't want to talk about it.
* DoofyDodo:
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ux3gcd/egg/ one comic]], Luz's Palisman egg hatches into this. While Amity assumes she would be disappointed, Luz loves it.
** The Collector [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/119ye9q/clingy/ finds one of these]] during a "game" Luz set up. Luz confesses that she only did it because of how clingy the Collector has been lately, and while the two have a heart-to-heart about spending time together, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Amity is seen trying to keep the bird at bay]].
* DoubleTake:
** After Luz, Willow, and Gus get expelled, Amity breaks her pencil in the middle of a class. Just then the image of Luz in the banned poster next to her hands Amity a pencil. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/652978473721315328 Amity accepts it before realizing where she got the pencil.]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u33vdv/double_take/ The title of one of Mark's comics,]] which also features an example. As Camila and Vee look at the flowers they got for Manny's death anniversary, the cheerleader girl walks by, only barely noticing Vee in her basilisk form before she switches back to Luz's appearance.
* DramaticIrony: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tuv3r9/a_peek_into_the_future_round_2/ Amity finds a time pool]] and sees Luz making out with a purple-haired girl, pissing her off, unaware that it's actually her future self.
* EarWorm: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rcik1y/moringmark_the_most_annoying_thing_of_christmas/ Luz sneaks into the Emperor's Coven with a speaker]] and puts Music/MariahCarey's "Make My Wish Come True" ("All I Want For Christmas") on a loop. Within a day, the castle succumbs to anarchy.
* EasilyForgiven:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/671550852088102912 One evening when King invites the rest of Eda's family over for dinner,]] Dell tells Eda he was never mad at her for the Owl Beast attacking him. He tells her that ''she'' needs to forgive herself for what happened, and she promises to try.
** Lilith's Palisman still remembers Eda threw it into a wall in "Agony of a Witch", [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tvaup1/liliths_palisman/ and promises that she will be the first witch to die in the Palismen Revolution]]. Lilith tells her it's hungry and Eda feeds it wood seeds. It decides she will live another day.
--->'''Raven Palisman:''' Caaaw (I accept your offer.) Caww (You'll be spared-) Caaw (...for now.)
* EatTheBomb: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z2pur3/nuclear_solution/ After Belos is defeated but a nuclear bomb he made is still armed]], Luz and Amity seem resigned to dying via nuclear explosion. Eda however proceeds to draw an eye and legs on it, causing Hooty to show up and think it's a bug before swallowing it whole. After it blows up inside him, smoke starts coming out his beak as he looks more annoyed than anything.
-->'''Hooty:''' [[CaptainObvious That was no bug]].
* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Camila ends up [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uznxap/embarrassing_childhood_pictures/ showing a photo]] of Luz as a kid getting her head stuck in between some playground bars as a child among other photos in a photo album, much to Amity and Alador's amusement and Luz's embarrassment. After Amity wishes that she had embarrassing childhood photos like Luz's [[TemptingFate and mockingly laments she has none]], Alador then reveals that he actually has one that he never showed anyone before, picturing Amity as a baby making an angry blush with Alador holding a red fruit with a similar shape and shade of red as baby Amity's face, causing the current Amity to blush and groan in embarrassment while Luz and Camila coo over Amity as a baby.
* EntertaininglyWrong: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/689341836566872064 While Gus and Hunter go to get some ice cream by flying on their staffs]], Gus uses an illusion spell to disguise themselves by making it look like the two are just birds like the ones he read in a book. The only problem is said "birds" are ''pterodactyls'' so the two end up accidentally terrorizing the other citizens.
* EntitledBastard: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uewwmh/youre_welcome/ After explaining]] to a Wendy's cashier in the human realm why he is entitled to receive free coffee (in the form of his plans for the Day of Unity), Belos responds aggressively when the cashier insists on the expired status of his coupon.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Luz expects Odalia, Amity's snobby, sociopathic ControlFreak mother [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qncocv/mrs_blight to discourage her from dating Amity on the fact that they're both girls, as she already has a history of unrequited same-sex crushes]]. Instead, Odalia disapproves of their relationship because Luz is poor and not classy enough, and she's appalled that Luz would think her gender matters. It's a subtle reminder that homophobia doesn't exist in the Boiling Isles, and a reminder that causes Luz, having been shamed for her bisexuality in the Human Realm, to tear up and hug Odalia's arm, much to the latter's confusion.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/105pnxq/evil_has_standards/ An appropriately named comic]] has Odalia, Belos, and Tibbles playing cards in a BadGuyBar. After listing their crimes, they ask what the fourth person did. They reveal they're the one who leaked "For the Future". All three of them are rightfully terrified.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10jd4e6/titan/ After Odalia talks about how she'd exploit people's faith in King as a Titan to take over the Isles and become as rich as possible]], King asks the Collector to turn her into a puppet. The Collector's response is "Ew, no."
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: In the first page of "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sav5k0/graceful/ Graceful]]", Selene is hinted to be attracted to Emira.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11g3h0o/weapon_of_choice/ When Matt demonstrates how to use a blender, thinking it's a weapon to destroy your enemy's fists]], Skara and Boscha both look disgusted and horrified, and Boscha immediately seconds Skara's suggestion to ban it.
* EveryoneKnewAlready:
** Luz tries to find the best way to tell her mother that she and Amity are in a relationship. By the time she decides on the video montage, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z61wi5/letting_camila_know/ Camila knows due to all the romantic moments she saw the girls having but still wants to see the video]].
** After Stringbean hatches, Luz introduces her to her mom, her friends [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and "the most annoying dude in the world"]]. When she tries to introduce Amity, Stringbean tells Luz she knows who she is already, to Luz's confusion. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10th19w/247/ While Stringbean was still an egg, Luz and Amity made a game out of who could top the other's "I love you"s, to the point of annoying her before she was even born.]]
* EvilIsPetty: Hunter questions how Amity is always able to counter his teleport dash. Amity reveals that [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/101d975/countermeasure/ back when she was Lilith's student, she specifically taught her how to listen for the resulting airflow]]. Given how much Lilith dislikes Hunter and her smug face in the flashback, she presumably did this out of spite.
* ExactWords:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/645368328947367937 Eda promises]] she won't let go of her staff while Luz learns how to fly: she detached her hand but since she didn't let go, it counts.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/675990105822019584 After returning to the Human Realm, Luz is never to return to the Demon Realm.]] However, Camila never said anything about the Demon Realm coming to Luz, as the Owl House gang come over to the Nocedas home quickly afterwards. When Luz asks why she didn't say so in the first place, Camila says this is what Luz gets for lying to her the whole summer.
** The PeekABangs kid got sent to Camp Reality Check because, in his words, he wanted to "be chill, all day, every day, 24/7 doing nothing, literally." [[SarcasmBlind Vee]] refuses to believe him because she imagines this trope is in play, citing that he's still doing things like breathing. [[TooDumbToLive He decides to take her up on this]] and show her that he can do literally nothing.
** Camila assumed Luz wanted to dress as ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} for Halloween, however, she meant [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/slybtw/costume/ a bat girl]] (as in a girl dressed in a baseball bat outfit).
** In a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s6y838/moringmark_oh_noanyways/ Human College AU]], Odalia pays Luz to make sure Amity doesn't go out with any boys. Not that she was going to anyways; she's a lesbian and already going out with Luz. Luz just says Odalia paid her to make sure Amity didn't cheat on her with any boys when Amity asks.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y8z1tk/car_key/ When asked by Vee how they already knew that she previously disguised herself as Luz]], Masha revealed that when Jacob was fired, they got access to his surveillance footage, his notebook, his [=MewTube=] account, everything. Emphasis on the ''everything'', as it included his car as well.
** When [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/115fxvp/dont_worry_they_survived/ the Collector was about to break Luz's game console in response to losing again]], Luz tells him that breaking things is bad and to break something small if he really wants to vent his frustration. One seemingly innocent finger snap later, a confused Luz asks what exactly the Collector broke. His reply?
--->'''Collector:''' Meh, just some '''atoms'''. ''(cue nuclear explosion)''
* ExplainExplainOhCrap:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654518622908235776 One comic]] has Luz recording a video of herself telling her mom about Amity. As she talks about how she feels weird around Amity and how Amity is pretty and cute, she suddenly [[LoveEpiphany puts two and two together]].
--->'''Luz:''' Okay, something is weird. It's just... I've been nervous around Amity this whole morning. I guess... I'm just a bit starstruck? After all, she's so brave, and talented, and classy- ...And beautiful and cute and- ...Uh-oh.
** A rare example of a character doing this while already upset. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vwvshw/dont_do_this_at_home/ While]] chastizing Luz for forging documents for her witch friends, Camila realizes that everything she said Luz had to do in order to properly forge said documents was already done.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xzmd5f/to_the_zoo/ When Luz explains the concept of a zoo to Viney,]] she realizes that she may have [[SayingTooMuch said too much]] to the animal-loving witch with beast keeeping capabilities.
* ExtremeOmnivore: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uj9ni6/bat_queen/ Hunter]] learns that he is one when he went to stay with the Bat Queen, who promptly force-fed him a ''book''.
-->'''Hunter:''' ...aaand that's why I decided to stay here instead.\\
'''Willow:''' Huh, I thought Grimwalkers were part Palistrom wood?\\
'''Hunter:''' Yeah, that book was delicious. ...but that's beside the point.
* EyeScream: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xuk947/not_again/ A Titan's attempt to feed its baby]] goes wrong when it accidentally pokes the baby in the eye with the baby bottle.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vpsexn/spilling_it_all_out/ Darius graciously accepts the apology]] from the other Coven Heads when they realize the Day of Unity was meant to kill them all. He also calls it "a bummer", but is content that he at least tried to stop it.
* FaceDoodling: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p2ejkp/revenge/ Luz does this to Hunter as payback]] for threatening her life to get the portal key from Amity.
* FacePalm: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/642016240929488896 In one strip,]] Luz finds the other half of Amity's Grom note when it blows into her face. However, she reads it upside-down, thinking that it says "Znf". Cue Willow, Gus, Skara, Boscha, Belos, and even Camila (who is in the human realm and is completely unaware of Luz's error) responding with this trope, while Amity sighs in relief after tensing up for a moment.
* FaceYourFears: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lcga37/moringmark_coming_home/ After returning to the Human Realm]], Luz hesitates to enter her home and see her mother. Luckily, Amity joins her as to repay Luz for helping her face her own fears.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama:
** Belos tries to explain his plan in a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/651528922524172288/ classic dramatic villain monologue]] to Eda, Luz, and King when they confront him, only for Hooty to keep interrupting him with a joke, to the point where he screams and collapses in frustration while Luz offers her sympathies and pats him on the shoulder.
** His [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q8px7c/bank_heist/ attempt]] to task his scouts to reinforce the Titan's butt ends up not working, [[HehHehYouSaidX for obvious reasons.]]
* FailedASpotCheck: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w3n26x/family_photo/ At one point]] Camila and Luz had to trick Vee into noticing a family photo featuring her as it had been up for several hours and she'd missed it entirely.
* FairPlayWhodunnit: Parodied [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tjdf9m/whodunit/ in one strip]]. When Gus is investigating who could have killed Kikimora (she's just lying face down on the airship they are in with a dagger embedded in her back and in pain), Hunter arrives on the airship, pointing out that anyone can just come and go onto the ship using their staff, meaning anybody could be the murderer, much to Gus' horror. Meanwhile, behind him, the suspects (Luz, Amity, Eda, King, Willow, and Steve) [[EverybodyDidIt are each equipped with a weapon]] [[HyperspaceArsenal out of nowhere]], preparing to [[NoKillLikeOverkill take their turns killing Kikimora]].
-->'''Hunter:''' (to Steve) Can I join?\\
'''Kikimora:''' (Reaching out in agony) Help.
* FakeUltimateHero: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/667111601011359744 As King looks further along Tarak and the Titan Trappers' wall art]], it becomes clear that it was all just a SelfInsertFic.
* FanCreatedOffspring: Comics set post-series tend to depict Luz/Amity and Willow/Hunter as both having daughters, though only the latter is actually shown being any older than a toddler. Neither of them are ever given a name beyond Hunter calling the latter [[AffectionateNickname Pancake]]. [[note]]Fans tend to respectively refer to them as Azura and Ivy[[/note]]
* FearlessFool: Luz is regularly shown to be very fearless when it comes certain challenges... which ends up resulting in bodily harm for her. One such incident being [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vixllw/classic_luz/ "Classic Luz"]], where she attempts running up a track that loop-de-loops despite Amity practically ''begging'' her not to. She manages to turn upside down before gravity kicks in and she nearly breaks her neck, only avoiding any real injury thanks to Amity summoning some Abomination goo. When retelling the story to Camila later, Amity has to thank Camila for keeping her alive this long, with Camila asking Amity to keep doing the same.
* FightForTheLastBite: Hunter and Willow have [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vcv6fy/the_last_fry/ an arm wrestling match to decide who gets the last French fry]], though the twist is that since they were both offering the other to take it earlier, Willow winning the match means Hunter gets to eat it.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: Averted twice. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w202fd/tag/ In one comic,]] for a moment, the Collector almost does this to Skara, but Boscha manages to call a time-out before the Collector can touch her. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zan0rm/tag/ In another,]] the Collector is about to do the same to Amity, and [[HeroicSacrifice prompting Luz to jump in the way]]. Though the Collector does tap her on the nose, it ends up being harmless, as the god-child simply wishes to force people to play games with them forever, and goes to hide, as Luz is now "it". The girlfriends take advantage of the situation and leave the Collector in his hiding spot, pretending to struggle to find them.
* FlippingTheBird:
** It's not shown onscreen, but [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/po3dr7/moringmark_the_titans_will/ the Titan flips Belos off for deliberately mistranslating it.]] Belos is sure that it's a thumbs up.
** After capturing Stringbean, Belos tries to destroy her and absorb her essence. He fails when Stringbean turns into a hardshelled turtle, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10xdrn3/game_over/ and proceeds to rub it in]].
* FlowerPotDrop: Invoked by one of the guys bullying Hunter and Willow's daughter, who [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12yka61/getting_in_trouble/ throws a pot down onto her head]].
* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: If [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680248161510555648 this comic]] is anything to go by, Eda really will take up palisman carving from Dell one day.
* ForcedTransformation: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/m4uxyd/otter_luz/ an early comic]], Boscha turns Luz into an otter and Willow goes after her to make her reverse it.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: When Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u3tshl/inspiration/ demonstrates]] a 'make plummeting object float safely instead of going splat' (Safety Hover) glyph combo, Lilith expresses amazement and asks what inspired her to create it. At which point Luz wordlessly side-eyes the woman who hurled her off a bridge into a spike-lined abyss mere months ago.
-->'''Lilith:''' Oh, right. Forget I asked.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vi5xx3/halloween/ In one comic,]] while the other kids get ready for Halloween, Vee plans on going trick or treating in her regular basilisk form. In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yj9gfh/demon/ another comic]], Vee hands out candy to trick-or-treaters in basilisk form.
* ForWantOfANail:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/prwbue/alternate_ending/ An alternate ending for]] "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E7EdasRequiem Eda's Requiem]]" shows Eda and Raine escaping from Darius when King ends up vomiting all over him.
** "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vxbxd0/new_game/ New Game]]" has Luz petrified by Philip during the season 2 finale, with the latter escaping to the human realm after the Collector is freed. This causes Amity to go through a CynicismCatalyst, where she convinces the Collector to play "Hunt The Witch Hunter" and go after Philip by repairing the portal, then telling Willow to destroy it so she and the Collector will be trapped on the other side and keeping their loved ones safe.
* FoundFamily: As in canon, Amity prefers the inhabitants of the Owl House and their surrounding allies to her natural home, much to [[AbusiveParent Odalia's]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/th2zrv/yeah_why/ confusion]].
* FreudianExcuse:
** Boscha used to be a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/672819209740451841 victim of bullying herself,]] due to being a three-eyed half-demon half-witch hybrid, so she decided to start fighting back with verbal assault to make sure nobody would mess with her ever again. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qe5nu1/moringmark_from_a_bully_to_a_friend/ On another occasion]], Willow realizes Boscha keeps bullying her because she's jealous that Willow seems to be better at everything than her.
** In one comic, it's implied that Odalia [[TheChainOfHarm suffered through the same kind of abuse]] [[TroubledAbuser she puts through Amity]]; just as she was about to slap her daughter, she sees Luz come to her defense. That triggers a flashback in which a younger Alador did the same thing for her. Realizing what she was about to do, she starts crying and eventually leaves the room.
* FreudianSlip:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/642650420235419648 Luz finds out]] about Amity's feelings for her while reading an ''Azura'' fanfiction she wrote, because Amity accidentally wrote down Luz's name instead of Azura's when narrating her OC's secret crush.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oktgc6/moringmark_concentrating_is_hard/ When Luz is demonstrating how to use a glyph combo to form an ice cube]], Amity shows up to greet Luz. Luz ends up conjuring a statue of her and Amity dancing. Cue them blushing.
--->'''Amity''': (blushing) Am I interrupting something?\\
'''Eda''': (amused) No no, this is getting interesting.
** While [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/684868606439374848 Luz relates]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uunpk1/a_snail_well_spent/ to Amity]] that in spite of the fact that there are multiple realms out there that she could of wandered into and many people she could have met, in the end, it was Amity she met and fell in love with, Amity is charmed by her speech and whispers to Luz to marry her in the heat of the moment. Luz doesn't fully pick up on it and asks for a repeat to which Amity nervously denies having said anything.
** When she discovers the glyph combination for Abomination magic, Amity holds Luz's hands to help her learn to mold the Abomination she created, but because Amity was so happy to be this close to Luz, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/smrvtj/now_playing_unchained_melody/ the Abomination started to trying to kiss her.]]
** As Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wecfk8/one_trip/ carries most of the groceries she, Camila, and Gus bought from the market]] she ends up saying the weight is about two-thirds of Amity's, so Camila figures her strength comes from carrying her girlfriend in her arms. To Luz's (initial) embarrassment, Gus proceeds to continuously make cracks about it until all their friends know, including Amity.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Boscha's aware she is this [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lmnihj/moringmar_picking_her_up/ to a degree once]]; after she gets drunk during Cat's birthday party, Cat calls Amity to come to pick her up since Skara and Amelia have already left. While under the influence, Boscha calls herself a loser since she had to be picked up by someone who doesn't even hang out with her anymore.
* FriendOrIdolDecision:
** "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s8jovv/moringmark_what_if_toh_was_a_telltale_game/ What if TOH was a Telltale game?]]" ends with one; Luz either gives Belos the portal key to save Amity's life or destroys it and let Belos kill her.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xsw19y/divorce/ After their divorce]], Alador negotiates full custody of their children with Odalia, letting her keep the manor, Blight Industries, and all their profits from the company. Odalia also demands his bug collection, and Alador [[{{Downplayed}} very briefly]] considers it before Amity scolds him.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/645187134942330880 At one point]], Skara and Amelia make time to hang out with Luz and Willow for an afternoon instead of with Boscha.
** Discussed [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tslia2/excuse/ in one comic.]] Amity goes over to Willow's house to ask for advice on what she and Luz could do for their next date. When Willow asks why she would ask her about this, Amity admits she needed to find an excuse to hang out with her. Willow is more than happy to do so, and the two decide to have a sleepover that night.
* FunWithAcronyms: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11npzga/training_program/ Back when she was still at Hexside]], Eda was forced to help Principl Faust set up a training program for students, and Faust allowed Eda to pick a name for it. What name did she go with? Superb Hexside's Incredible Tournament, or SHIT. As soon as the name is revealed, most of the students start laughing.
* FurryReminder: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uq6q4m/boscha_and_severine/ While Boscha is bonding with Severine]], she finds the latter likes having her neck scratched, and even starts ''purring'' in response.
* FuzzTherapy: Stringbean tends to invoke this. In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/118zt1q/i_see_you/ one comic]], she turns into a cardinal for Hunter to nuzzle since Flapjack is gone and he now lacks a palisman. In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11up94u/stress_reliever/ another]], she takes a cloud-like form for Luz to squish when she draws a blank on her brainstorming to rebuild the Boiling Isles.
* TheGadfly: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ One comic]] has Luz and Amity acting sweet and affectionate around each other for the sake of annoying Boscha.
* GenreSavvy:
** The glasses kid chalks their [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qhnr1s/moringmark_reveeling_the_truth/ reaction]] to Vee being a basilisk to plot twist tolerance from writing fanfics with plots like this for years.
** Luz notes that Eda should be fine and the plan to sabotage the Draining Spell should go off without a hitch as long as she doesn't raise any death flags. She then proceeds to announce [[{{Retirony}} that this is her last mission before retirement]], ask Darius to [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee explain the plan in great detail for no particular reason]], [[FatalFamilyPhoto shows the CATS her family photos]], tells Luz she's taught her everything she knows and caps it all off by asking WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong, as Luz's confidence in her survival, naturally, [[OhCrap drops to near zero]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v5dxi8/genre_savvy/ A comic named this]] shows Luz to be genre savvy yet again, as when she and Amity go to investigate the shack and the sounds coming from it, the moment Belos' slime starts dripping from the ceiling Luz tells Amity not to look up, saying that the monster will only attack once they look up. With this in mind, they safely leave the shack with Belos unable to harm them.
--->'''Belos:''' Dang, she's good.
* GilliganCut: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ucp6h2/hearing_whispers/ When Darius questions if Raine is sure no one knows they're about to invade Belos' mind]], Raine assures him that no one knows and no one can hear them on the castle roof. We immediately cut to Hunter in his room below with a cup of coffee and an annoyed expression.
* GodGuise: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12n3cfo/not_technically_lying/ "Not Technically Lying"]], Vee tries to apply for Gravesfield High, but since she has no birth certificate and no legal documents of her existence, Principal Hal almost rejects her, until Hooty appears and declares that Vee attending the school is part of the almighty's plan, scaring Hal into accepting her. We see that they accomplished the HolyBacklight using a flashlight and Hooty was hiding in Vee's backpack.
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u75vli/moringmark_a_match_made_in_hell/ To get Principal Faust to lay off his strict rules]], Eda tries to set him up on a date with Terra Snapdragon. The two hit it off and Faust no longer rules Hexside with an iron fist... because he left to join Terra in tormenting children and abusing power across the Boiling Isles.
* GoodCopBadCop: Willow's parents [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/667383391985025024 act as this,]] as Harvey states that the more Willow hates him, the more she listens to Gilbert. Willow asks them to stop, saying she doesn't want to dislike either and doesn't like the idea of it.
* GoodParents: Amity promises her and Luz's daughter that she'll be one in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v646k2/promise/ this comic.]]
-->'''Amity:''' Look, I might not be the best mom in the world, but I promise I'll never hurt you. I'll never make you feel worthless, I'll teach you good morals, and at the same time, I'll let you make important decisions on your own. And most importantly ''[pecks the daughter on her head]'', I'll always be there when you need me.
* GossipEvolution: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11trwp7/dont_tell_anyone_but/ While discussing their relationship]], Willow reveals she already knew Hunter had a crush on her. He asks how that's possible. As it turns out, he talked about his confusion over his feelings for Willow to Flapjack, who mentioned it playing a card game with Ghost, which she mentioned to Emmiline Bailey Marcostimo, who eagerly told Clover. By that point the confusion part had been lost and Clover buzzes to Willow that Hunter definitely has a crush on her.
* GrammarNazi: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uemrnr/the_letter/ King asks Tarak why he didn't just send Eda a message instead of mailing a letter]]. He reveals that he ''did'' try that first, but Eda blocked him after she used "you're" instead of "your" in a sentence and he corrected her. King is exasperated.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Combined with SequelHook. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ "Ready for the Battle"]] depicts the Archivists as this, the Collector returning to the Boiling Isles to warn of their incoming arrival and declaring they need to keep them away from King, with the Hexsquad preparing for a major fight as a result... sans Amity who is too busy being [[DistractedByTheSexy enamored]] and having her JawDrop over seeing Luz [[spoiler:in her Titan form]].
* GroundhogDayLoop: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zfzq5g/deja_vu/ Luz traps herself]] in one after seeing Hooty [[ContinuityNod shedding his skin]]. Unfortunately, after taking a sip of a memory potion to erase the minute she saw Hooty to write a note for her to not look outside, the full minute passes, and she ends up entering the room, as the beginning demonstrates her [[FreezeFrameBonus coming out from a yellow cloud]], further showing that she has done this multiple times already.

* HartmanHips:
** PlayedForLaughs in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qzn3xw/power_armor/ one comic,]] as they prevent Odalia from jumping in a MiniMecha to fight Luz for her blessing. Alador had made said armor for a younger Odalia and never updated it, much to her indignation.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12pgz50/bodies_change_and_thats_okay/ In "Bodies Change (And That's Okay)"]], Amity is preparing for a date with Luz and wants to wear a cute outfit from when they were younger, but gets distressed when she realizes she's too wide for it now. Luckily, after crying about it to Willow, she rushes over with Hunter, who uses his sewing skills to retailor the outfit for her new shape.
* HasTwoMommies: As seen in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vmny4j/apocalypse/ this comic]], the two unnamed female extras in "Them's The Breaks Kid" are Boscha's mothers.
* HauntingTheGuilty: PlayedForLaughs in the appropriately titled [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10nfqed/haunted/ "Haunted" comic]], where much like in "For the Future", Belos is haunted by the specter of his [[SiblingMurder murdered brother Caleb]]. Caleb comes out to haunt Belos while he's doing incredibly mundane tasks, such as using the bathroom or trying to watch "Bleeding Hearts" on a CrystalBall.
* HauteCuisineIsWeird: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10fl6ek/fancy_food/ one comic]], Camila questions why Amity, who came from a wealthy family, enjoys her common food so much.

He tries hiding with the invisibility spell he learned but is unable to do so before Hunter notices him.
-->'''Hunter:''' It seems you have trouble making yourself disappear... [[DeadlyEuphemism Need some help?]]
* HerBoyfriendsJacket: In the Demon Realm, couples exchange jewelry to further commit their relationship. So when Masha, not knowing this, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12xgr4n/just_roll_with_it_masha/ offers their earrings to Vee]], they basically proposed marriage to her. Vee gets extremely flustered, while Amity gasps in shock.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** Implied [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sl7o5l/moringmark_a_new_beginningas_well_as_an_end/ here]] with the Bat Queen, who is nowhere to be seen after fighting off the Emperor's Coven to keep them from stealing palismen in her forest.

* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood:
** Hunter, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qao3rx/protection/ at the ripe old age of 5]], was used as a living shield and ''flail'' by Belos.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/676261894242336768 Odalia also inflicts this to Amity as an infant,]] having the family abomination butler feed her milk and slap her and pin her to the ceiling with abomination goop when the baby girl bothered her among other things. It takes discussing her childhood with Luz for [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror Amity to realize how poorly she was raised]].

** Eda [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/o1xzxo/moringmark_amity_isnt_the_only_one_with_a_crush/ gets a nice chuckle]] out of Amity blushing while walking with Luz to Hexside. Lilith points out that Eda did the same with her crushes, but Eda denies it only for Raine to show up. [[IResembleThatRemark Cue Eda doing as Lilith described]].
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/659954440472838144 When she is resolving Luz and Camila's issues with one another,]] Eda tells Luz to be honest with Camila while telling Camila to let Luz make her own decisions.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uoe9h4/observation/ Luz comments to Amity how obvious it is that Hunter has a crush on Willow]] and that she can't figure out how Willow doesn't notice something so obvious.

It just led to a NakedFreakOut and landed him in the detention track.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Luz promises to be [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pq1j63/total_honesty/ totally honest]] with Amity and stop keeping secrets.

** When the Emperor's Coven [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/660769812921876480 raids the Blights' home,]] Alador augments Luz's faulty blue jay Palisman, bringing it to life and giving it the ability to turn into a [[PowerFist mechanical glyph projecting gauntlet]] as opposed to turning into a staff.

** When the potions instructor starts a lesson for concocting an invisibility potion, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/645821313802436608 Luz jokes that she can't "see" herself doing it,]] hoping to sound cool or hilarious. Her only response is [[{{Beat}} awkward silence]] from her fellow classmates and her smile transforms into one of agony. We then cut to her still aghast later, sitting on a stool as Willow comforts her and [[LaserGuidedAmnesia prepares a candle and extracts the memory from Luz using the memory tweezers to help her forget the embarrassing moment]].
** After getting sent to the Healing Track ward for [[FatalFireworks messing with fireworks again]], Edric justifies his actions to Viney by saying that [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/trnpee/healing_track_ward/ "it was lit"]]. Viney slaps a Healing glyph onto his cast in frustration.
** Eda comes up with [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ywu52f/puns/ several of these]] after losing her arm. Lilith gets so annoyed by her that she begs Alador to work faster on Eda's prosthetic arm.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Belos is occasionally written like this, suffering everything from a lack of hair spray to being SurroundedByIdiots to being overthrown by Hooty. The key word being ''occasionally'' as the comics are also quite capable of showing him as quite capable and threatening.
* InstantlyProvenWrong:
** Played for both [[PlayedForLaughs humor]] and heartwarming in [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/682966070452273152 this comic]]. Seconds after Hunter sobs that no one cares about him, Darius and Willow both show up to rescue him, and not only do they actually fight about who is the better option for protecting him but Amity shows up on Luz's behalf for the exact same reason, changing Hunter's tears to [[TearsOfJoy ones of joy]].
** PlayedForLaughs in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12jn5d9/watching_and_screaming/ "Watching and Screaming"]]. When the Titan is watching over King from the In Between Realm [[LetsWatchOurShowPlot as if he's watching TV]], he says Eda is "such a cool mom" after her little "weirdos have to stick together" moment. He then changes to view another moment, only to see King and Eda try WilliamTelling with the apple on King's head... and Eda using a ''harpoon''. The Titan ends up having a SpitTake as a result.
* InternalReveal: PlayedForLaughs when Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vqtdab/o_titan_forgive_us/ absently mentions that King is a Titan]] before going to sleep; after which [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E5Covention Amity]], [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E15UnderstandingWillow Willow, Gus]], and [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E1SeparateTides Hunter]] lay awake all night [[MassOhCrap contemplating]] the [[ButtMonkey various slights/humiliations/assaults]] they visited on the Titan in question.
* InVinoVeritas: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11blnvu/they_know/ Due to drinking apple blood]], Eda admits to Raine (who [[AndIMustScream while still in puppet form]] [[IHeardThat could hear everything she said]]) confessed that she regret letting them go and practiced proposing to them. When Raine is freed from both Belos and the Collector, they say yes which leaves Eda confused, then mortified.
* IThinkYouBrokeHim: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u2rxto/overloaded/ During one evening]], after Odalia insists that Amity change back her hair color, Alador proceeds to state that Amity wishes to keep her hair color and that he agrees with it. To deflect Odalia's rage, he also reveals Amity no longer wishes to join the Emperor's Coven or any coven in fact, that they went to the Bonesborough Brawl instead of coven tryouts, Amity is dating Luz, and Edric and Emira are joining the Bad Girl Coven. Before he can add more, Amity stops him and points out that Odalia is now stammering with a ThousandYardStare.
* ItsACostumePartyISwear: Camila falls victim to this prank in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yid0b1/camila_and_manny/ one comic]], dressing up as Captain Avery from ''Cosmic Frontier''. Thankfully, Manny pretends to be a villain from the books, and the two leave together.

[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/128n9ke/reward/ As a reward for saving the Boiling Isles, Darius was going to give the Hexsquad a large amount of snails]]. They at first decline because, as Luz says, the friendships they all made together were reward enough. Then Darius reveals the snails were coming from Odalia's confiscated personal account, and we cut to the squad chilling in piles of treasure, Luz noting the not-dogs they bought with her money tastes extra delicious.
* JawDrop: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ one comic]], this is Amity's reaction to [[spoiler:Luz's Titan form]]. Willow points Gus towards this without even looking, prompting him to push it closed.
* KarmicButtMonkey: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tr0qq2/moringmark_the_true_will_of_the_titan/ Every time]] [[AssholeVictim Philip]] finds a new glyph, it's always in an extremely dangerous situation that risks his life. The Titan himself is heavily implied to be behind this, as in canon.
* KillItWithFire: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xj9l8v/graveyard/ Vee's friends]] try this approach when fighting Belos, on the basis that [[TheAllSolvingHammer fire tends to be pretty effective at killing anything]].

[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zkwfc7/oh_brother/ Hunter grilling Masha for details when they show up to take Vee on a date]] seems like this at first glace (especialy given the stern look in his eyes), but then he reveals that he's just asking them for advice since he has a date with Willow coming up.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia:
** Averted [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/669648315517927425 when]] Willow and Amity decide to remember the bad memories of their damaged relationship so that they can learn from them.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/og7tqb/moringmark_life_is_a_witch_keeping_up_with_the/ In an AU where Eda and Camila are friends as teenagers]], Gwendolyn tries to erase Camila's memories of Eda.

* LateForSchool: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11r6v56/late/ This comic]] has Luz oversleep. Since Amity can't wake her up, she abominations brush her teeth and comb her hair, get her dressed, and feed her toast. When Luz still doesn't wake up after her morning kiss, she picks her and places her on the school bus.
* LateToTheRealization: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/timlhq/moringmark_late_to_the_realization/ One comic is named this.]] Luz explains to Amity that Camila didn't react much to their relationship when she told her, unaware that Camila thought Luz was describing an imaginary girlfriend. It takes a few days for Camila to come to that conclusion and gush over her daughter having a girlfriend.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: Said word for word by Eda in "Her Blessing, Part 2" to Odalia regarding Luz and Amity.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: While they initially were simply rivals and VitriolicBestBuds, Darius and Alador have started a romantic relationship in the comics released after the finale, and are just as bickering as always.

*** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vtvj7e/it_runs_in_the_family/ When Luz is telling Camila about her and Amity's first kiss]], she expresses her embarrassment over having said "Oh, Crikey." afterward, leading to her mom getting a flashback to when she first kissed Manny, having said "Hehe, Wowzers!" afterward, before [[CantBelieveISaidThat expressing disbelief over having just said that]].
*** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vvs2we/first_met/ Later]] after Camila learns Amity tried to get Luz killed when they first met, she admits she punched Manny for mistakenly believing he left graffiti on her locker.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10pzrba/alador/ Alador also ended up in a full body cast]] like Edric when he drew things on Puppet Darius' face.
** Many comics depict Alador and Darius as being VitriolicBestBuds overall, being as just as likely to screw with each other as hang out. Alador's daughter Amity and Darius' ward Hunter are shown to have a similar relationship at times, if only slightly better thanks to being around Luz and Willow.
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: Amity has her differences between her parents.
** PlayedForLaughs [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/utwt71/better_than_alador/ at one point]]; when Amity asks Darius if there's anything she's better than her father at, he says she has a better taste in love interests much to Amity's embarrassment, Odalia's irritation, Luz's satisfaction, and Alador's shame.
** There's the fact that Amity won't always tolerate Luz risking harm to herself to protect her, while Odalia has no concerns with forcing Alador into such positions; case in point, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v401hb/how_to_protect_your_partner/ Amity chastises Luz for taking a grudgby ball to the face while Odalia pulls Alador close to her so he takes the hit.]]
* LiteralMinded:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s3u06q/literally/ The In Between Realm]] creates cubes that allow someone to see a person whose name they say.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ze7imi/seal/ When Luz tells Gus about the Navy SEALS, Gus thinks they're actual fighting seals]]. Hunter tries to point this out, but Luz tells him to let Gus dream.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vjp4an/play_dead/ Luz and Viney]] encounter a wild bear while on a hike, and Luz tells Viney to play dead. Viney uses her Beast Keeping magic to make the bear pretend to die in an overdramatic way.
-->'''Bear:''' [ROAR?]
-->'''Viney:''' ''(gives the bear two thumbs up)'' Yeah, roar!
-->'''Luz:''' ''(stunned by what she just saw)'' Huh.
* LoneWolfBoss: Belos [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xj9l8v/graveyard/ is confronted by Vee's friends]] and, while Belos is far from this himself, [[InvertedTrope Vee's friends are this for him since he has no relation that he knows about with them]].
* LoopholeAbuse: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1118vto/how_about_now/ Boscha will only give Willow her respect when pigs fly]]: in response, Luz has Stringbean [[ExactWords turn into a pig with wings]].

* LotusEaterMachine: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z587aq/happiness/ In one comic]], Luz ends up in one courtesy of the Collector. Manny is alive, Camila homeschooled her so she wouldn't be bullied at school, and she's rewarded for her creativity. Luz manages to break out of it by giving her old self an uplifting speech about how while life isn't always happy and can be cruel, there's always people there to pick you up and love you. After they hug, she wakes up. The Collector [[EvilCannotComprehendGood questions why she left when she found happiness]]. Her friends reply that Luz already found it with them.
* LoveTriangle: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pj0sts/crush/ In one comic]], Edric and Emira realize that they are both interested in Hunter, causing them to [[LightningGlare glare at]] [[DeathGlare each other]] and Amity to react in amusement.
-->'''Amity:''' (posting to Penstagram) Y'all ain't gonna believe this! LOL. Hashtag: Family Drama.
* LyingToProtectYourFeelings: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wdi721/tooth/ Willow was the one who gave Hunter his tooth gap]] as she threw a crate at him during the petrification ceremony. She and Gus decide he's better off not knowing.

-->'''Luz:''' (''bandaging King up as he glares at her'') Well, on the plus side...we did escape!
* MamaBear:
** Camila is regularly shown to be willing to move Heaven and Earth if it means protecting her family. Whether that means running an armored truck off-road to save Vee from a government prisoner transport, beating the shit out of Odalia with [[ExactWords "Logic" and "Reason"]] when she tries mocking Amity again, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11yjyp7/mama_bear/ to even threatening]] ''the Collector'' into sitting down and having a civil talk after they threaten to put Luz through a neverending nightmare, Camila will protect her family no matter what.
** Eda attacks Boscha during a Penstagram stream after she [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/mbfdwy/moringmark_protective_owl/ starts a challenge]] where she insults Luz for being human and calls her "round ears".

'''Luz:''' (''blushing'') Spoilers.
* MasterOfDisguise: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tcgzcv/moringmark_master_of_disguise/ Hunter is actually quite good at disguises,]] able to dress himself up so that not even [[LikeBrotherAndSister Luz]] can recognize him. Until he opens his mouth, at which point his tooth gap gives him away.
* TheMatchmaker:
** Played straight when [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wwkbvv/reading_the_cards/ Masha intentionally rigs Hunter and Willows tarot reading]] so they get together.
** Subverted. Amity is quick to shut down [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y24q8e/nonverbal_communication/ Luz's attempts to get Willow and Hunter together]], telling her to let it happen naturally.
* MeetTheInLaws:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pt91hd/parents/ Camila and Odalia have a sitdown at the Noceda house]].

'''Luz:''' (nervous) WHO WANTS MADUROS?!
** Luz introduces a nervous Amity to Camila in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uij0d1/meeting_camila/ one comic,]] and after making a bad joke about stealing her daughter, she looks down in shame, even as Camila reassures her that Luz makes those kinds of jokes all the time.
** Parodied in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w9fj7m/one_fear/ "One Fear"]]. The kids prepare to do insanely dangerous and terrifying things like confronting Belos or fighting the Collector, and Hunter is fully prepared to do so. But when he has to meet Willow's parents, he immediately chickens out, and Willow has to drag him in vines.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y9uh1z/meeting_the_parents/ This comic]] has Hunter meeting Willow's dads. Harvey and Gilbert agreed beforehand to do the GoodCopBadCop routine, but they mess it up twice: first by both of them being nice, then by both of them being intimidating.
* MilestoneBirthdayAngst: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654881010036637696 On Principal Bump's birthday]], Luz, Willow, and Gus intend to surprise him by decorating his office.

[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zrn63p/francois/ After King accidentally impales Francois on his finger,]] Hunter patches him up, but tells King he's too big to play with the small rabbit plush, so he presents King with a giant Francois. King is grateful, but would prefer his original plush, prompting Hunter to reveal that the original Francois is actually attached to the giant one, piloting it like a mech. It even has small levers.
* AMinorKidroduction: According to [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/650894744432541696 this]], Willow met Amity during a boiling rainstorm. Willow was rushing home and got distracted by a flower, desperately trying to protect it until Amity arrived, shielded both of them and they hit it off.
* MonsterIsAMommy: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/kueye7/moringmark_the_owl_beast_broods/ In one strip]] the Owl Beast acts like this, instead of trying to eat Luz she proceeds to brood her like an egg.

* MundaneSolution: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/m4uxyd/otter_luz/ When Willow tasks Amity with watching Luz while she's an otter]], Amity asks how she's supposed to do that. She just places Luz in her hood while's she's playfully batting Amity's ponytail.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/szj50m/time_travel/ A similar strip]] features Luz and Lilith traveling ten minutes into the past so that Lilith can get a not dog.
** While carving her Palisman, Luz figures out that the chunks of the Palistrom wood she chiseled off can be used to create tiny staffs, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/usdlu6/offcuts/ which she and Eda use to arm the CATS with]].
** While attending ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Tomatina La Tomatina]]'' with Luz, Amity uses her Abomination magic to conjure up multiple hands to pelt other people with tomatoes.
** After capturing Raine by immobilizing them with their coven sigil, [[DisproportionateRetribution Kikimora does the same to Darius after he makes a backhanded compliment regarding her size]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** In [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/677892640480591873 one comic,]] Odalia and Amity get into an argument (seemingly over Luz, although it's not clear) and Odalia raises her hand to hit her daughter. However, Luz steps in front of Amity to protect her, causing Odalia to have a flashback of Alador doing the same for her. Realizing that she's become her own mother, she wordlessly leaves the girls alone.
** After [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/663306528795852800 seemingly inviting Luz to her birthday party]] as an olive branch, only to perform a cruel prank on her, Boscha is left looking at the gift Luz stayed up all night to make for her, clearly having second thoughts about her bullying of Luz.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/odl24m/moringmark_youll_always_be_weird_but_thats_okay/ As Camila faces Grometheus]] who's holding Luz in its clutches, it tells her that it's no imposter, but the Luz that tries to be normal for her. Camila grasps that she was wrong for sending Luz to Reality Check Camp and apologizes for making Luz feel bad for being different and that she loves that side of her. This gives Luz the courage to mentally fight back against Grom.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qbc57a/moringmark_little_amity/ When they were kids]] Amity tried to get Emira's attention as she made abomination constructs, only for Emira to yell at her for making a mess around the living room and making Amity cry.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vqtdab/o_titan_forgive_us/ After Luz mentioned that King is a Titan]], she wished Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hunter a good night, and started going to sleep.

Camila lets out a chuckle and then realizes that Luz isn't laughing.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: Or, more specifically, Hitler By Any Other Name. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tple1g/history_lesson/ Lilith describes a man with an ambition to purge their land of anybody undeserving of life]]. She was actually referring to the fuhrer, ''not'' Belos, but Steve thought otherwise until she confirmed it.
* NeckSnap: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sof9p1/wanted/ Patch attempts this at one point]] to Eda to collect the bounty on her head. [[DidntThinkThisThrough He failed to consider that there was a reason]] [[ExorcistHead she is called the Owl Lady]].
* NightmareFetishist: Masha was quite literally this in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s27xez/to_love_a_demon/ an earlier comic pre-"Thanks to Them"]], proudly proclaiming they're into Vee's true form as a "demonic magic-sucking slug monster".
* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: One comic is called [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10f825z/no_cats_were_harmed_in_the_making_of_this_comic/ "No Cats Were Harmed in the Making of This Comic"]]. When Ghost goes missing, Luz goes outside to look for her, mistaking a stray cat for the real deal. She only learns she has the wrong cat after she tries to get it back on Amity's staff. [[AssShove And since the cat doesn't have an interlock like Ghost does...]]
-->'''Luz:''' ''(covered in scratches)'' I... might need to wash the staff.

* NoSocialSkills: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/113r9ln/test/ "Test"]] has Luz congratulate Hunter on his and Willow's new relationship]] and offer to give dating advice if he ever needs it. Hunter thinks he won't need it, so Luz has him practice on a (probably) model skeleton. He proceeds to demonstrate he has no clue what he's doing.
-->'''Luz:''' Now, hold hands!\\
(Hunter locks pinkies with the skeleton)\\
'''Luz:''' ...Now, hug.\\
(Hunter puts the skeleton in a chokehold)\\

* NotInThisForYourRevolution:
** PlayedWith. Eda does [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s5dage/prison_break/ break into the Conformatorium and breaks out the BATTS]], but it's a pure coincidence as her main goal was saving Raine.
** Played straight in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ufm9an/join_the_rebellion/ another comic]], as even though she's made aware of Belos' true intentions to kill every witch on the Boiling Isles, Terra doesn't want to join the resistance Raine, Darius and Eberwolf are running because [[TooDumbToLive "a rebellion sounds kinda cringe"]]. The only reason she actually agrees to work with them is that Darius tells her everything they do is technically illegal.
* NotQuiteFlight: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qfiaiv/harpy_lilith/ To show off to Eda]], Lilith unveils her [[BlatantLies Harpy form]]. While she can float, it's just by clenching onto her staff with her buttocks.
* NoSell: As it turns out, being a Grimwalker makes Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vfvt4c/grimwalker/ practically immune to most damage]], as long as his Galdorstone heart is unharmed. His body being composed of 80% Palistrom Wood also means Willow can heal him quite easily. Unfortunately for him, that also means she can effectively lift him with her plant magic.
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** Despite not wanting her children to look so slovenly under their concealment stones, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u7ilqp/concealment_stone/ Odalia herself uses a concealment stone for the exact same reason as them.]] Also, she turns out to be a Ruler's Reach fan herself.

* NotSoExtinct: In order to get [[DesperatelyCravesAffection the Collector]] off her back, Luz sends him on a wild goose chase to find a dodo bird. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/119ye9q/clingy/ Turns out, the Collector found several of them in the Amazon Rainforest]].
* NotSoFinalConfession: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vpsexn/spilling_it_all_out/ When]] it seems like the Draining Spell is going to kill all of the Coven Heads, Adrian takes the opportunity [[DyingDeclarationOfHate to rant]] about how much he hates the others... before the Collector stops the Draining Spell, [[OhCrap leaving Adrian in a very awkward situation]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While the comics tend to up the portrayal of Belos as a goofier, less competent, and put-together character, in some comics [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/653612652337250304 such as this one]] his canon level of cunning and wickedness is on full display.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649807580438347776 In one comic,]] it appears to be such that Skara is bullying Willow for no good reason, much to Willow's chagrin. Turns out, she's actually trying to save Willow from some of Boscha's pranks.
* ObliviouslyEvil: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zan0rm/tag/ According to the Collector]], he doesn't see himself as a monster, he's just "merely forcing everyone to play games with [him] forever and ever".
* ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u49n51/crush/ Eda]] fails to recognize that Raine's crushing on her.
* OddFriendship: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uq6q4m/boscha_and_severine/ During the students' fight to reach the gym]], Severine hides on the sidelines, only for her hiding place to be preoccupied with Boscha. Although they start off poorly with Severine blackmailing Boscha into letting her stay, over the course of fifteen minutes the two girls have become friends, with Severine even giving Boscha the nickname "Bossy". Once Severine quits the Emperor's Coven to return to the Tiny Cat Coven, she runs back to Boscha and invites her to join the Tiny Cat Coven with her. Amity lampshades how weird their friendship is.
-->'''Willow:''' Awww, wholesome.\\
'''Amity:''' In a weird way, but yeah.
** In another comic, Hunter goes to the Owl House to learn more about how to take care of his Palisman from Eda, but Hooty tells him that nobody's home, and refuses to let him inside. After an unknown period of time, the two bond over [[NoRespectGuy how unappreciated they feel among their respective factions]] (Hunter for the Emperor's Coven, and Hooty for the other residents of the Owl House). It gets to the point where by the time Luz, Eda, and King get back, they're both crying over how similar they are.
* OfferingsToTheGods: The Collector starts accepting these [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vv2bb6/offerings/ in one comic]]. While he turns down all of Odalia's lavish presents for him, he falls in love with a drawing Katya made for him, [[PunBasedCreature a "fruit-sona" of the Collector called "Avo-Collector"]].
* OhCrap:
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/670282497211449344 After daring]] Hunter to eat his own boogers during a game of Truth or Dare, when Luz chooses truth, Hunter retaliates by asking Luz who the most important woman in her life is. Once [[GoodParents Camila]], [[TheMentor Eda]], and [[LoveInterest Amity]] all cross their arms and wait for her answer, Luz realizes how screwed she is.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pkbx02/scars/ Hunter grabs Amity's staff before she can hit him]], forgetting that Palisman can reanimate themselves. Ghost proceeds to give Hunter several new scars.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w6ydyy/muddy/ When she meets Muddy, Puddles' younger sister]], years in the future, Luz realizes why Viney said that griffins should be raised to have their feet on the ground at all times when the now mature griffin tramples her.
-->'''Viney:''' [[IWarnedYou That's why they should keep all their feet on the ground!]]\\
'''Luz:''' (weakly) [[{{Touche}} I stand corrected]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zpsbw3/prayers/ When finding out that an adult King has ran away from answering the prayers of the Boiling Isles]], Luz resorts to lying to the next hopeful worshipper by telling her that her grandson's prayer of passing his exam will come true before capping it off with "This is the Titan's will." Upon realizing what she just did...
-->'''Luz:''' Did I just become a fraud like Belos?
** After explaining that squirrels are the Human Realm's equivalent to fairies, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10k646s/equivalent/ Camila gets this]] when she realizes what Amity is going to bake into a pie...
-->'''Camila:''' ''(rushing to stop Amity from putting her a live squirrel in the oven)'' [[BigNo Nooooooooooo!]]
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lcga37/moringmark_coming_home/ Before the Nocedas reunite]], Amity shows she's not letting what Luz said to her at Grom ("That's what '''friends''' do") go.
-->'''Luz:''' (sweat drops) You'll never let me live that down, will you?\\
'''Amity:''' Nope.
* OnePersonBirthdayParty: Played With. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wf7dc5/quiet/ Eda actually has a large group of people band together to throw her a party]] despite the circumstances. Luz on the other hand is shown sitting in the dark with a cupcake on Earth, quietly wishing Eda a happy birthday while not even knowing if she's ''alive'' much less that she has others with her.
* OnlySaneMan: Kikimora is framed as this in some comics next to Belos, seeing through Belos' pathetic excuses to some of his more slovenly habits as "the Titan's will" when they obviously aren't, understanding the Titan's displeasure in Belos' very illogical interpretation of his will, and being the only member in the Emperor's inner circle who sees that Hunter's death is faked.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After Odalia compliments Alador on winning the Bonesborough Brawl saying she's happy for him, he points out how totally out of character it is for her. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ubltf2/he_wants_his_cut/ Turns out she made bets saying Darius would win.]]
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Beta Luz and regular Luz tend to [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/647089671479918592 annoy each other]] whenever Beta Luz appears in a comic, usually squabbling about how the other fights with magic or how the other looks. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rm6o3d/teamwork/ They both agree on disliking Alpha Luz's ability to use magic without glyphs.]]
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10mli06/eavesdropping/ "Eavesdropping"]] parodies the one in "For the Future". When the Collector sees King talking about permanently getting rid of him, they decide to listen a bit further to be sure. The Collector then sees King dramatically saying they have to kill him, which he stops listening at that point. King then finishes his sentence "...with kindness".
* OverlyLongGag: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xno4fv/shouldve_asked_gus/ When Hunter goes to Luz for advice on hugging]], she and Amity make a dance routine out of it. Luz claims it's simple, but Hunter says otherwise.
* PaintingTheMedium: [[https://twitter.com/MoringmarkMark/status/1572948841468669957 This artwork]] depicts the heroes of season 3 running against a forested background with a strange glow coming through the trees. When looked at in the twitter previews, however, it gives the impression of Belos' monstrous face.
* PaperThinDisguise:
** Luz's choice of disguise [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/mu2iyi/no_gays_allowed_in_the_house/ when introducing herself to Amity's homophobic mother is a simple fake mustache.]] It works.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ua65e5/moringmark_delivery/ When Luz and Eda try to infiltrate the Emperor's Castle]], they disguise themselves as one of the Abomatons ordered by the Emperor. [[TheMole Darius]] instantly sees through it, but lets them in any way.
** Tibbles' disguise as a therapist consists purely of a suit and mustache. As Lilith and Hunter have had no prior encounters with him, they don't notice anything odd about him, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uvbjh5/therapy_session/ but Luz eventually sees through it and does not let him go unscathed.]]
** When the remains of Belos escapes from his jar, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xzywz9/disguise/ he hides himself as Hunter's forelock]]. Sadly, he forgot Hunter already had his ImportantHaircut (and that he doesn't blend into Hunter's hair), so Luz is quick to recapture him.
** Kikimora tries to flee the Boiling Isles to escape punishment for her crimes, but needs to get through customs. Not only is her [[AtrociousAlias chosen fake name horribly obvious]], [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11e6q53/now_boarding/ her disguise is just her Coven Crate outfit, a fake mustache, and a scarf and cape]]. Steve sees through this immediately and launches her into prison.
* ParentalSexualitySquick: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ra8urp/alador/ Odalia ogles Alador]] while he's getting changed into a suit, only for a grossed-out Amity to inform her that she can hear all her thoughts through her necklace.
* ParentalSubstitute: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pyklro/moringmark_escape_the_castle/ Out of curiosity]], Vee transforms into the appearance of a child on a photo that slipped out of a guard's pocket. This prompted said guard to feel an attachment to her, as that child was his. He'd later help Vee and the other reanimated basilisks escape, [[YouShallNotPass but at the cost of his own life]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w0st7v/mom/ Edric at one point calls Eda 'mom'.]] Emira laughs at this, believing that her groggy brother did it as a FreudianSlip. Edric however, reveals that he meant to do that, as Eda took them under her wing, gave him consent to refer to her as such, and he is now distancing Odalia from himself, refusing to call her his mother. After pondering on this, Emira ends up referring to Eda as 'mom' as well.
* PassThePopcorn: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10lsfjo/reason_and_logic/ When Camilla declares that she will destroy Odalia]] with reason and logic, turns out she is using [[ExactWords a bat called "Reason" and a chancla called "Logic"]]. Cue Luz and Amity eating from a bucket of popcorn while watching Camila unleash a beating on Odalia.
* PassingTheTorch: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12kq799/passing_the_torch/ A comic named such]] has one between Flapjack and Waffles. Hunter gets nervous about proposing to Willow, so Flapjack's spirit instructs Waffles to pull on his forelock like he once did. Hunter falls flat on his face holding out the ring box, which amuses Willow.
* PetTheDog:
** Being stood up at Grom hurts Emira more than Edric, so [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ls77up/moringmark_just_like_the_old_days/ offers her a dance to make up for it]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/supj8b/moringmark_a_little_helping_hand_never_hurts/ Even though]] Skara laughs with Boscha after making fun of Luz's stage magic act in a talent show, Willow uses the plant she was going to use for her act as a string to fix Skara's harp, thus dropping out. Skara takes a closer look at her harp after she wins and remembering the plant, smiles in gratitude for Willow's kindness.
** Boscha may not like Willow and Gus, but [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661041603964764161 she can't bring herself to keep Maya from spending time with their palismen, so she sits adjacent to the witches while they play]].
** Lilith foregoes capturing Eda and acts as a shoulder for her sister to cry on right after [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x2ed6p/sisters/ Raine breaks up with her]].
* PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs: The meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs? According to the Collector, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10skzek/playing_catch/ that was the result of a Titan playing catch with their dad with a giant rock as the ball, missing and accidentally sending the rock flying far off into the sky.]] That resulted in the game being banned.
* PhoneCallFromTheDead: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yespsw/message_from_the_dead/ After the Hexsquad arrives in the Demon Realm following their months long stay on Earth]], Amity tries to alert everyone of their return over Penstagram. Noticing that they were presumed dead due to a message that Edric sent her, she decides to prank him by acting like she's sending him a message from the afterlife.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: Averted [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vdyeft/phones_vs_scrolls/ after Luz gives Amity her own phone]]; Amity uses it afterward but only when she needs to. Same goes for Willow, Gus, Hunter and Vee.
* PiggybackCute:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w181n7/rain/ One rainy day]], Luz carries Amity on her back so she doesn't have to walk through a stream of water or use magic to get across it.
** Luz carries Amity again [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z61wi5/letting_camila_know/ while trying to figure out how to tell her mother they're dating]].
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: {{Parodied}} in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v2hnwx/lets_play/ this comic]], where the Collector apparently streams all their actions and treats the world like a LetsPlay.
* PokeInTheThirdEye: Belos is on the receiving end [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/678979803508031488/ this time]], as he spies on people in his castle with magic... only for the Steve army to know when he tries to do so to them. Belos shudders to himself never to do that again.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain:
** Odalia is framed as this in an earlier Owl House comic, disapproving of gays, but played with in a later comic, where she is not homophobic.
** Played straight with [[TakeThat Mickey Mouse]], who gets into a brawl with Tiny Nose/Dana Terrace over homosexual content in the show.
--->'''Mickey Mouse:''' No gays allowed in the Mouse House!
* PomPomGirl: Luz acts as a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uby0mb/cheerleading/ cheerleader for Amity during a grudgby game]], while also intentionally distracting Boscha so she takes the ball to her face.
* PottyEmergency: ''[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rkouik/taking_a_nap/ "Taking a Nap"]]'' has Luz needing to use the bathroom but unable to move since Amity's sleeping against her. Luz attempts to leave her hugging a pillow, but Amity immediately wraps her arms around Luz as she's getting up from the couch, much to her shock.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Parodied in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10ika61/anything_to_save_him/ one comic]]. Hunter's attempts to reach out to Puppet Darius fall on deaf ears, but an insult from Alador causes him to break free from the spell the Collector put on him. Alador tries to say this is the power of friendship, but he is interrupted by a furious Darius.
* ThePowerOfLove: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12em8z1/the_power_of_love/ This comic]] has the Collector turn Amity into a puppet. Luz's heartfelt words and [[TrueLovesKiss a kiss]] turn her back to normal. The Collector gets annoyed by this and turns her back, prompting Luz to kiss her again. It devolves into a back-and-forth between them, leaving a very confused Amity, and an exasperated Eda and King spectating.
* ProphecyTwist:
** Celine's spirit predicts that Amity will "get hurt very badly" and calls it good news. It turns out it's because [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/652525488869392384 Luz would care for her]] after she breaks her leg.
** While still in Hexside, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11pf70b/fortune_telling/ Perry sees that Eda will have 10 kids in the future]]. Eda, while not against it, couldn't see how she'd even get that many. Cut to the present, where she's surrounded by everyone who looks up to her as a mother figure (Luz, Amity, Hunter, Willow, Gus, the BATTS, the Collector) and her son, King. Eda realizes Perry was right.
-->'''Eda:''' Huh. I guess that checks out.
* PsychicStatic: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tz55b0/mind_reading/ As a counter to Odalia trying to trick her into wearing a mind-reading amulet]], Amity gives Hooty the amulet as a gift. Cue BigWhat from Odalia as her amulet reads mindless thoughts on bugs, rolling around in the mud, Lilith, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick the deaths of other beings]].
* PublicSecretMessage: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wgw7vh/game_rules/ King writes a coded message in a set of game rules]] to let Eda know he's okay if in the Collector's clutches.
* PuppyDogEyes:
** Camila says these are her weakness after [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/108ai14/beating_the_system/ Vee uses them to get cookies before dinner]]. It doesn't take long for Camila to realize that Luz told her about this.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11vm68z/life_skills_lesson/ Luz says puppy eyes are a Noceda family life skill]] and demonstrates it before telling Vee, Stringbean and Hunter to try. Vee and Stringbean pull it off flawlessly, but Hunter's looks more like a DeathGlare, and Luz is intimidated into giving him the cookie prize.
* RageBreakingPoint:
** Hunter initially tries to brush off Luz's claim that [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xfs3e2/definitely_not_canon/ he looks like a grumpy anglerfish in a book she was reading]], but after Amity, Gus, and even Willow break out into laughter, Hunter furiously gives himself a quick haircut so he no longer has the stray lock of hair that drew the comparisons to the anglerfish in the first place.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11lx41n/flight_safety_psa/ After Darius makes Eda do a Flight Safety PSA,]] which she did very unhappily with obvious faked cheer, when he asks her to be more enthusiastic, Eda flips and ''enthusiastically'' gives very bad advice in flying as dangerously as possible. Darius just gives in.
* RealTrailerFakeMovie: Poster variants. Following the GrandFinale of the series, while Dana Terrace has said there ''may'' be more ExpandedUniverse material or a movie in the future, nothing is certain yet. Mark however went ahead and created [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/130n2k6/fan_posters_a_movie_a_prequel_and_two_spinoffs/ four posters for hypothetical entries]] in the series:
** "The Owl House: Starlight", a BigDamnMovie taking place after the epilogue, focusing on the Hexsquad, Eda, King, and Camila, and taking place on both Earth and the Boiling Isles.
** "Eda Vs. The Boiling Isles", a {{prequel}} set during Eda's time at Hexside, focusing on her, Lilith, and Raine.
** "Evelyn", an OriginsEpisode for Evelyn, Caleb and Philip Wittebane, and Flapjack, set during colonial times and hinting at how Philip would become Emperor Belos.
** "[=Cabin7=]", a spinoff focusing on Vee, Masha, and their two friends while at Reality Check Summer Camp, and the oddities they find there.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Bump, like in the show. Despite being a bit strict and sadistic at times, he genuinely cares about the students and their safety. After Luz, Willow and Gus trash his office in an attempt at throwing him a birthday party, he orders them to clean it up before admitting that they are good kids. Bria even identifies him as this as soon as she sees him for the first time, even if she doesn't believe a principal who cares about their students exists.
* RedMage: Eileen becomes a mixed-track student after being introduced to illusions by Gus, using illusions as a way to communicate while still being on the potions track.
* RefugeInAudacity: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/w0hbwy/dont_believe_everything_you_read_on_the_internet/ "Don't Believe Everything You Read On The Internet"]] has some teens catch Willow using her plant magic to save a raccoon and post it online. Predictably, no one in the comments actually believes it's real.
* RefusalOfTheCall: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vmny4j/apocalypse/ Boscha initially declines to join Eda's resistance]], but after hearing that Amity is probably dead and spending the night mourning her, she gives in and joins up.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/104uvwz/waiting_it_out/ "Waiting It Out"]] is a comic where Luz and Amity learn the plot of the latest ''Good Witch Azura'' book was leaked online, sixteen days before it would hit store shelves, so they barricade themselves inside to avoid spoilers. The comic was uploaded around the same time the episode "For the Future" was leaked online.[[note]]The leaks were originally uploaded on January 5th, 2023, and the episode would air on January 21st, 2023. The comic itself was uploaded on January 6th, 2023[[/note]]
* RuleOfThree: In "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yd5jpn/mama_eda/ Mama Eda]]", Camila warns Edric twice not to prank anyone during Luz and Amity's wedding ceremony, and he doesn't heed it. For the third try Eda warns him that he'll be stuck on Hooty cleaning detail for the rest of his life if he does, and he submits.
* SacrificialLion: Steve was groomed to be this by a writer so that his death would motivate the main characters once things got serious.
* SadisticChoice:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/p8rzsb/moringmark_number_six/ "Number Six"]] shows the basilisk of the same identity being ordered by Kikimora to kill Luz or be killed herself, but she hesitates when she learns that Luz knows where Vee is.
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s8jovv/moringmark_what_if_toh_was_a_telltale_game/ this strip]], Belos tells Luz he'll kill Amity unless she gives him the portal key instead of destroying it. Amity encourages Luz to destroy the key since Belos would kill them either way, but Luz hesitates to make a choice.
** Subverted in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10g2egm/trolley_problem/ "Trolley Problem"]]. A round of the Collector's game makes Luz, Eda, Amity and Alador choose between two tracks with one person and four people tied to them. The problem is, he tied Harvey, Salty, Viney and Morton, people they actually like to one track, and tied Odalia to the other. Alador points out how easy a choice it would be for them, so the Collector tries reshuffling. This time, it fails because he tied [[LovedByAll Steve]] to one track, and tied Terra, Adrian, Tibbles and Kikimora to the other. Alador again points this out.
* SanitySlippage: The events of the Day of Unity have [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x7bcv5/sacrifice/ clearly taken their toll on Odalia's mind,]] as she now believes that the amputation of her arm was a test by the Collector where it's clearly not, and intends to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwash Amity]] into becoming a playmate for the Collector.
* SarcasmMode: Subverted. During their time in the human realm, it appears that [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y77uu2/sarcasm/ Hunter is using this to mock Luz's many actions.]] However, when Luz expresses irritation at his apparent sarcasm, Hunter reveals that he doesn't grasp the concept of why you would say something you don't actually mean. At this answer, Luz then realizes that [[SincerityMode the opposite trope]] has been true the whole time, [[TearsOfJoy to her joy]].
* SchmuckBait: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zan0rm/tag/ When]] the Collector tags Luz during one of his games of tag, Luz pretends to not know where he went even though he just hid behind a rock. Later on, a "KEEP OUT" sign is placed on his hiding spot, and he still believes Luz is struggling to look for him.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661403991969824768 Luz pulls this]] after returning home and learning how much more complicated Vee has made her life in her absence.
* SecondLove: A few months after ending it with Odalia, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11qai4o/swipe_right/ Alador downloads a dating app]]. He looks rather stunning once Amity gives him a makeover, resulting in Darius reluctantly swiping right on him.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10v7aci/home/ "Home"]] sees Belos defeated and trapped in a bubble in the In Between Realm. Occasionally, they open a portal to it, and Hunter asks Belos if he regrets his actions. Belos, being Belos, adamantly refuses and continues insisting that murdering Caleb was the right choice for choosing the Boiling Isles, a "dump", over his real home. Hunter admonishes him for having learned nothing.
-->'''Hunter:''' After all these years, you still don't get it, do you? Home isn't where you're from... Home is- Home is where you feel belonged.
* SeriousBusiness: All over the place.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/653884443874017280 Luz does not take it well]] when a siren tells her "shipping is cringe", forcing Salty's crew to stop her from jumping overboard.
--->'''Luz''': (livid) I can assure you that shipping can make a story better by adding more characterization to-
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wt7ssf/emergency_meeting/ Raine treats changing the name of the resistance as seriously as a strategy meeting]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x6gwl7/do_you_want_fanwars_thats_how_you_get_fanwars/ After watching the live-action Azura movie and hating it]], Luz and Amity ask their friends' opinion on it. Hunter gives a noncommittal answer and Willow fell asleep, but before Gus, who actually enjoyed the movie, can say so, Willow immediately {{Hand Gag|ging}}s him to prevent an argument.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yv07q0/shipping_opinions/ When an Azura fan says Azura x Hecate is boring]], and that [[FoeYayShipping Villainous Lucy x Azura should be canon]], Luz and Amity immediately block the fan after giving a short PSA on not attacking people for shipping opinions.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q4lzdo/moringmark_her_time_has_come/ As shown here]], getting a low score at a rhythm game test prompts execution. Getting a high enough score immediately makes Luz head of the Bard coven in Raine's absence.
*** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t2ppbp/bard_coven_head/ another comic,]] we learn Raine became head of the Bard Coven after winning a game of musical chairs.
** Hunter and Amity get into a [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662672349391437824 very intense pillow fight]], ending with Luz's room in a mess of feathers.
** Camila treats Luz [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ylztnq/la_chancla/ being able to use la chancla as a weapon]] like a rite of passage.
* ShipperOnDeck:
** The Emerald Entrails in general, with the exception of Hunter and Willow, ship the two after Willow mistakenly asks Hunter to send her some cute pictures of Flapjack in the team's group chat. Willow threatens to delete her account when they take things out of proportion, but Hunter doesn't seem to care, although that's a given since this is just after the traumatic reveals of "[[WhamEpisode Hollow Mind]]" and he's just happy to have friends.
** Despite being their enemy, Belos is depicted as one for Lumity in some earlier Owl House comic strips.
** While playing a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vxo5mw/guessing_game/ headband guessing game]], Luz figures out that the person who Hunter is describing is Willow. Instead of announcing that she figured it out, she asks more specific questions that perfectly describe what Hunter thinks of Willow, essentially getting him to confess what he feels about her. Hunter points out that Luz is practically describing who the person is before suddenly realizing what's going on and looking behind himself to see an extremely flustered Willow.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wnry5t/shipper_on_deck/ In this comic]], Gus notices Hunter and Willow fell asleep on him, so he sneakily removes himself from between them so their faces touch.
* ShippingTorpedo:
** As in canon, {{Downplayed|Trope}} by Boscha. She doesn't like Lumity, and she hates the two [[SickeninglySweethearts having public displays of affection everywhere she goes]]. Too bad Luz, Amity, and Willow are actively gunning for this reaction.
** Odalia also doesn't like the fact that Luz and Amity are dating, and is shown in multiple comics trying to end the relationship one way or another.
** She is also this to Emira and Hunter, while also unknowingly being a ShipperOnDeck at the same time, having set up an arranged marriage between her eldest daughter and the Golden Guard, unaware the two are the same.
* ShipTease: Along with canon couples, several characters are implied to be interested or paired with each other.
** Multiple comics tease Hunter with Edric and Emira, mostly showing him dating the latter.
** Some comics hint an attraction between Willow and Skara: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649807580438347776 one]] shows Skara saving Willow from Boscha's pranks, another shows her [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tmcsx4/moringmark_hoottube/ watching one of Willow's workout videos with a lovestruck look.]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/supj8b/moringmark_a_little_helping_hand_never_hurts/ This one]] has Willow repair Skara's harp with a vine so she can compete in a talent show, which Skara notices after she won and hugs her harp in admiration.
* ShockAndAwe: Downplayed and played with when Luz [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/641563320183324673 pretends]] to use a lightning spell on Boscha, utilizing static electricity to sell the illusion.
* ShockParty: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12u2nud/surprise/ "Surprise"]], the Hexsquad throw the Collector a SurpriseParty for their birthday, but they reflexively shoot a laser at one of the trees. Downplayed in the sense that nobody was hurt, but the planners were scared.
-->'''Eda:''' [[IWarnedYou Told ya it was a bad idea]].
* ShoutOut:

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sh2upj/mic_drop/ This Alador and Darius comic]] is one big ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' reference.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rm6o3d/teamwork/ Canon Luz and Beta Luz's reactions]] to Alpha Luz being able to do magic without glyphs is very similar to [[Film/SpiderManNoWayHome Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men finding out Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man can shoot webs without Web-Shooters]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r2ozzg/swearing/ This comic]] featuring Eda censoring herself while scolding Hooty for getting mud in the house before realizing she can swear for real while alone is very similar to a scene from "Not What He Seems" from ''[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Gravity Falls]]'', only Eda intentionally tries to swear to stop Luz from hiding so she can help her wash Hooty.
** An earlier comic also based on "Not What He Seems" shows someone coming out of a portal who Belos claims is the author of the "Good Witch Azura": [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/640747883394629632 Luz & Amity's future daughter]].
** The video game seen [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vaxu7m/he_has_been_playing_it_for_2_hours/ here]] looks similar to ''VideoGame/MarioKart''.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vixllw/classic_luz/ Amity voices]] how she [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb doesn't understand public art]].
** Willow and Hunter dress up as [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Ladybug and Chat Noir]] respectively for Halloween [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vi5xx3/halloween/ in one comic.]]
** In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yj9gfh/demon/ another comic set during Halloween]], Vee hands out candy to three trick-or-treaters dressed as [[VideoGame/Portal1 the Companion Cube]], [[Anime/KikisDeliveryService Kiki]], and Franchise/{{Godzilla}}.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yaoiqc/better_than_a_giant_marshmallow_man/ This comic]] has the Collector manifest the Hexsquad's worst fear to fight, [[Film/GhostBusters1984 much like Gozer allowing the Ghostbusters choose what form it takes to destroy them]]. It's even titled "Better Than A Giant Marshmallow Man".

** One comic has Luz, King, the Collector, and Hunter playing a video game called ''[[VideoGame/MarioKart Plumber Kart]]''. Hunter even uses a spiked blue shell on the Collector during a race.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ikr6x/totally_what_happened/ "...Totally What Happened"]] is one long reference to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro's beating up Steely Dan]], with [[spoiler:Titan]] Luz acting as Jotaro, [[spoiler:the Titan]] as her Stand, and Philip as Steely Dan, even having Luz drop a Light Glyph before walking away, much like how Jotaro dropped a "receipt" of how much pain he owed Steely Dan.
* SickeninglySweethearts:
** Luz and Amity of course in some comics.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ Done purposefully by Luz and Amity in this comic to mess with Boscha.]]
* SideBet: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ubltf2/he_wants_his_cut/ Alador realizes that Odalia made one]] saying Darius would win the Bonesborough Brawl and cleaned up when Alador won.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Alador and Darius alternate between this and VitriolicBestBuds in several comics.
* SkewedPriorities:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uo1r32/new_outfits/ One comic]] has Darius designing a new uniform for the CATS during a strategy meeting.
** In a comic called "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v7a3at/priority/ Priority]]", Alador fights the pain of the Draining Spell and makes his way to the Titan's Head... so he can laugh at Darius as he's being drained as well.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The previous Golden Guard before Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vdmoec/the_golden_guard/ was this,]] having originally stolen the portal from Belos and requesting Darius to teleport it and bury it near a ruin. The portal would be found by Eda when she ran away from home, who would use it to steal from the human world and eventually lead Luz to arrive in the Demon Realm.
* SmugSmiler: Hunter responds with this when [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ygke51/well_well_well/ Eda tells Lilith that him being a clone of their ancestor's husband technically makes him older than them, to Lilith's ire]].
* SoProudOfYou:

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sbns96/the_interview/ Perry expresses pride in Gus]] for grilling Kikimora about Raine's disappearance.
** One aptly-titled comic called "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t8qrqq/shes_so_proud_of_her/ She's so proud of her]]" shows Lilith, having run into Amity while shopping, express pride upon learning her former apprentice kicked the Golden Guard's butt.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ynqmr0/mentor/ Even if Hunter won't admit it]], he's impressed that Luz got his FlashStep down right out of the box.

** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yykrdk/training/ This comic]] has Hunter trying to teach his and Willow's daughter how to perform a shoulder throw... while she's a baby. Willow sarcastically asks how it's going and Hunter says he's not impressed, before she proceeds to perfectly do the maneuver on her wolf plush. The joy in their eyes speaks volumes.
--->'''Hunter:''' (awed) I didn't just imagine that, did I?\\
'''Willow:''' (also awed) Nope.
** "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10yspeg/role_model/ Role Model]]" ends with Vee saying this after Stringbean emulates how snake-shifters act from her, mostly sitting on the couch eating snacks.
** Said word-for-word by [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12yka61/getting_in_trouble/ Hunter to his daughter]] for defending herself from bullies and fighting off everyone else who came after her.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: PlayedForLaughs. When Eda gets suspicious of [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11l03hc/question/ Puppet Raine]] (who was recently possessed by Belos), she asks them what her favorite swear word is.
* SoreLoser: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10zo9y2/being_friends/ Losing to Hunter in a video game]] prompts the Collector to turn him into a puppet out of spite. Hunter using a Blue Shell and rubbing it in sealed his fate.
* SoulCrushingDeskJob: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/120l758/but_for_real_though/ In this comic]], the Collector says to win his game, Luz will be subjected to "the most soul-crushing scenarios known to man". [[TemptingFate Luz says she can handle it]], before the Collector snaps their fingers and puts her in an office job [[HatingOnMonday on a Monday]] with Boscha as her MeanBoss ([[FunnyBackgroundEvent and turns Stringbean into a pencil holder]]). Both Luz and Stringbean scream in horror.
* SpeakInUnison: Comedic zig-zag. [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/677530251992203264 This instance]] has Luz and Amity tell each other that they don't want Amity to keep making fairy pies for Luz. However, while Amity explains how time-consuming it is to make the pies, Luz confesses that she's been releasing the fairies so she doesn't have to eat them. They're relieved and split a PB&J while the pie [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere makes a run for it.]]
* SpitTake:
** Lilith, when she sees that with the curse split between her and Eda, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ldy5ts/moringmark_the_baby_owl_beast/ they'll transform into giant baby owls whenever the curse acts up]]. At that revelation, she proceeds to pour some elixir into her morning beverage.
** Luz, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wecfk8/one_trip/ when Gus asks how many "Amity units" a jar weighs]] in front of her confused girlfriend.
** Eda, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xxzwf0/hammerspace/ when Luz manages to get back to the Boiling Isles after Amity sends her to the hammerspace at Luz's request,]] enabling Luz to emerge from Eda's hair, to the Owl Lady's surprise.
** Edric, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yespsw/message_from_the_dead/ as a result of Amity's]] PhoneCallFromTheDead.
* SpiritAdvisor:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/waaq8y/mirror/ In this comic]], Gus digs up the memory of Caleb so he and Hunter can have a heart-to-heart about being his own person.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xr8lyp/golden_guards/ In this comic]], memories of six previous Golden Guards return to congratulate him on being the first Grimwalker to realize Belos is evil and survive. And give him dating advice.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10w2im6/cue/ In "Cue"]], while Hunter and Willow are on a date she signals she wants to kiss him (which Hunter doesn't get), Caleb manifests to tell him that's his cue. [[OpenFlyGag And to pull up his fly]].
* SpotTheImposter:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sd7kbi/catching_a_basilisk/ When the Basilisk escapes]], Willow asks Boscha to say what she really thinks of her to prove she's the real deal. Boscha proceeds to give an extremely backhanded compliment, causing Willow to shoot her with a tranquilizer before confirming that it was the real Boscha.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/663940707051077632 Made into a game]] by Luz and Vee when the latter disguises herself as Luz and visits the Owl House. Luz allows Amity to ask two questions to identify who the real Luz is. King, however, simply and annoyedly points out the real Luz to Amity, who proceeds to kiss her on the lips, [[PostKissCatatonia much to Luz's pleasure]]. Though that joy quickly evaporates into horror when Amity states she didn't actually know who the real Luz was.
--->'''Luz:''' (upset) You could've kissed the wrong Luz...\\
'''Amity:''' Just kidding! I knew it was you!\\
'''King:''' Dang it, [[{{Troll}} I should've pointed at Vee!]]\\
'''Vee:''' (disappointed) I want a girlfriend.
* SpottingTheThead: Gus is shown giving a lesson on this subject in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ru8fh/illusion_lesson/ "Illusion Lesson"]] when teaching people how to identify people hiding under an illusion. Then, when asked if she'd be able to recognize people like that, Luz reveals that "Gus" was actually Amity in disguise the whole time.
* StagingAnIntervention:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vedumg/intervention/ Camila, Gus and Willow hold one]] to deal with Hunter's [[MustHaveCaffeine coffee addiction]] and lack of sleep, going as far as to confiscating his instant coffee and tying him up in a sleeping bag to get him to rest.
** Later, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zwg9lu/intervention/ this appropriately named comic]] has Camila and the Hexsquad hold one to make Luz stop putting herself down.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution:
** Luz, Willow, and Gus [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/640476092157788160 help dye Amity's hair from green back to brown at one point.]] When she worries over her mother's reaction, Gus recommends she hide it with an illusion of her green hair.
** During a date with Amity, Luz's pen breaks while she's drawing a glyph. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ljox2v/moringmark_first_date/ Amity soon gifts her stamps with glyph symbols.]]
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/672185031021740032 In one comic]] Eda suggests that Raine, instead of taking out several coven heads at once as well as themself, could just avoid the Day of Unity entirely and foil Belos that way. In the comic at least, it worked.
** Another [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vygj8k/egg/ has]] Luz explain to Amity that she carved her palisman into an egg so it could have the option to choose just like her. Then Amity says this:
--->'''Amity:''' Because an egg was easier to carve, wasn't it?\\
'''Luz:''' ...Yeah.
* StealthPun: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v4pgpi/flapjack/ one strip]], Flapjack constantly chirps to Hunter that [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove he loves him]] in order to get the same response. Then he deliberately does it while Willow is present, making it seem like Hunter was talking to her, which leads her to ask him out on a movie date. [[spoiler:He's a wingman.]]
* SubvertedKidsShow: Played for laughs, as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uke9rs/weve_all_been_duped/ one strip]] shows people regretting being misled (Lilith for believing the curse would only be temporary, Hunter for thinking Belos really cared about him, etc.), with the last being a viewer who thought that they were just in for a "silly owl show."
* SuddenlySpeaking: A variant. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xwbext/communication/ Using Camila's tablet]], Ghost is able to tell Camila she's hungry and how to feed her, then proceeds to give her advice on communicating with Luz.
* SuperDrowningSkills: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oor9g0/beach_day/ As it turns out]], witches have no need for swimming when the ocean of the Demon Realm is hot enough to turn humans into skeletons and clothes by the time they wash up to shore... which means they don't know how to swim, meaning the Human Realm's ocean is just as dangerous.
* SuperMode: Luz already had one via her [[spoiler:Titan form]], albeit a one-time-only form she only had access to thanks to [[spoiler:The Titan]] giving her said power for the final battle. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ly8be/ready_for_the_battle/ "Ready for the Battle"]] however shows that [[spoiler:King]] can temporarily grant the form to Luz again via his own power, making it a more traditional case.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Due to having spent several months in the [[DeathWorld Boiling Isles]], Luz's skills in running, swimming, and bicycling have been boosted. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/116axid/more_like_boot_camp/ One incident which contributed to this]] was a time she made the mistake of trying to pet a werewolf, which chased her in the areas around Bonesborough, running, swimming, and even cycling after her.
* SuperSpeed: Part of Hettie Cutburn's Healing skills includes being able to perform surgery in under a second. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zz17su/first_do_no_harm/ She demonstrates by stealing a scout's kidney, and pretends she took it from Darius so fast he couldn't feel it]].
* SureLetsGoWithThat: While [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/649626386645090304 Camila and Eda argue]] over whether Luz should spend more time in the human realm or the Boiling Isles, they each come up with a solution. While [[BloodKnight Eda's]] is a fight to the death, Camila's is to propose to her. A blushing Eda decides that would work.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Occasionally Belos is shown as suffering from this, with various comics having him suffer the men under him letting his prisoners go for fanart, grabbing the school bullies instead of Luz's friends to hold hostage, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u9fcvs/competition/ and watching Alador and Darius argue]] over who is better ''at the task of killing and overthrowing him''.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When confronted by Boscha in the Detention Pit, Amity questions if [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/110gczi/maybe/ Boscha has a crush on her]]. Boscha does ''not'' do a good job of denying it. She eventually admits she does after Amity gushes about all the cute couple things they did in the Human Realm.
-->'''Boscha:''' What? Me? Being hot on you? HA! You are not '''that''' attractive! Pfft, get over yourself, please.
* SwappedRoles: This comic, appropriately dubbed [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xqdigf/switched/ "Switched"]], showcases how much Luz and Amity have changed from when Luz arrived in the Boiling Isles and when the Hexsquad got stranded on Earth.
* TheSwearJar: Played straight and parodied in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r80n6o/swear_jar/ the same strip]], as even with [[SirSwearsALot Eda]] being subject to one, Luz and Amity are also subject to one that they have to tip whenever they call each other an awesome girlfriend. The "Awesome Girlfriend" jar is overflowing compared to the swear jar.
* SweetheartSipping: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12w9n1h/straws/ Alador orders a single drink with two straws]] for himself and Darius when they're on a date. Darius initially thinks it's too childish, but relents when Alador calls him a coward. They then realize that Amity and Luz, along with Hunter and Willow, are doing the same and watching them from other tables; with Amity [[WideEyesShrunkenIrises visibly shocked]], Hunter giving thumbs up, and Willow taking a picture.
* TactfulTranslation: Lilith's Palisman is not pleased to see Eda after she threw it into a wall in "Agony of a Witch", and threatens her. Lilith thankfully doesn't tell Eda this.
-->'''Raven Palisman:''' Caaaw (You smashed me into a wall.) Caaaw (When the Palisman Revolution comes, you'll be the first to die.)\\
'''Eda:''' What did he say?\\
'''Lilith:''' Ummm- He said he's hungry!
* TakeThat:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/riixtr/the_owl_house_dub_2022/ One comic]] takes a shot at the Taiwanese dub's infamous censorship of the Lumity scenes in canon, like the "dress up and travel together" line from "Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty's Door". When Luz proposes to Amity once the two are older, the context is changed via GagSub to Luz asking Amity if she wants to turn a ring she found on the side of the road into the lost-and-found department, and right as they're about to kiss (or as Luz puts it, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial take a closer look for no reason]]), a Disney Channel ad bumper obscures the two.
** A particularly large, humanoid, black-furred echo mouse wearing red suspenders that is clearly meant to be Mickey Mouse is noted by Maliphas as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/oll6l9/the_big_mouse/ being obsessed with fairy tales]], hissing at Luz and Malphas when they get near him and scurrying off.
*** Pretty much every time the mouse shows up in one of [=MoringMark's=] comics, he is depicted in an unflattering light, with only one or two exceptions at most, being the satirical representation of Disney, who has infamously [[invoked]][[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwed over]] ''The Owl House'' and Creator/DanaTerrace in the past.[[note]]In a Reddit AMA, Dana said, in response to the question of whether or not the notorious shortening of the third season was attributed to the LGBT representation, that she didn't want to put her superiors in LA in bad faith, but Disney's history of homophobia has led much of the fandom to believe that was a major part of the decision.[[/note]]
** The Collector introduces themself to Luz by establishing their goal of collecting only the most unique things in the Demon Realm they can find, but Luz offers something completely one of a kind for only 5,000 snails. Turns out, she just suckered him into [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uh30w7/the_collectors_new_collection/ buying an NFT]], with the Collector failing to find the purpose of it or why it's so expensive.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x6gwl7/do_you_want_fanwars_thats_how_you_get_fanwars/ "Do You Want Fanwars? That's How You Get Fanwars."]] seems to depict live-action remakes in a bad light, as Luz and Amity vent their frustrations at the live-action remake of ''The Good Witch Azura'', which supposedly took several creative liberties from the source material. When Luz asks the others what they thought, Hunter and Willow dodge the question and before Gus can say he liked the movie, Willow stops him from talking.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wzw6of/not_going_that_route/ Not Going That Route]] pokes fun at the LoveTriangle and WillTheyOrWontThey tropes, as Luz terrifiedly envisions a scenario in which Willow sees Hunter with the cheerleader girl from her school, assumes they become an item, creates a misunderstanding, and by the time its settled, Willow will find someone else, and the whole situation will get dragged out for another season. The whole idea of it playing out in such a cliche manner horrifies Luz into letting out a BigNo.
* TakeThatKiss: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v39isy/got_served/ A variant]]. Seeing one of Luz's classmates bullying her, Amity kisses her girlfriend in front of her and her friends to shut her up and as proof Luz is dating her.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Gus lampshades how [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wuuf2r/couple/ Luz and Amity feeling awkward around Willow and Hunter having a romantic moment]] is how he feels around them.
* TeamMom: Taken literally in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wby6he/bedtime_story/ one comic]], as Eda is seen reading a bedtime story to Katya, Amber, and Derwin as if they were her own children. [[DesperatelyCravesAffection Lilith]] tries to take advantage of this by asking Eda to do the same thing, which she begrudgingly does.
* TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: Addressed in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rh0ogw/outfits/ one comic]] featuring Vee where she asks Camila to put a pride pin she bought on her. Vee realizes this too late before she starts screaming in pain.
-->'''Vee:''' I totally forgot that my outfit is part of my skin.\\
'''Camila:''' I have failed you as a mother figure.
* TemptingFate: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uxtioa/death_flags/ Right before the Day of Unity]], Luz tells King that Eda will be fine as long as she doesn't raise any death flags. Cue Eda saying this is her last mission [[{{Retirony}} before she retires]], [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee asks Darius to tell her the plan again]], says it's going to go off without a hitch, [[FatalFamilyPhoto shows the CATS her family photos]], [[MentorOccupationalHazard tells Luz that she's taught her everything she knows]], and right before she leaves, she says WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong, much to Luz's horror.
* TerriblePickupLines: Luz performs these from time to time with Amity in some comics. Amity of course, finds them charming, and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pulccs/favorite_sound/ even buys a book from the human realm from Eda to try on Luz.]]
* ThatCameOutWrong:
** When Luz is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ll4f74/moringmark_the_everythingproof_cloak/ testing the capabilities]] of her cape's AntiMagic properties, she asks Amity, who has just shown up at the Owl House, to attack her. Unfortunately, instead of using a magic attack, Amity hurls a book at the human's face and breaks Luz's nose. Luz ends up admitting it was her fault.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/674087567355985920 While on a date]] and sitting on a bench with Emira, Hunter proceeds to make a romantic speech to her, only to call her the blind spot of his life before correcting himself and stating that he meant bright spot. He then declared that he nailed it, but Emira's face, which had previously displayed enchantment, says otherwise.
* ThatPoorCat: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sgamxq/squish_that_cat/ Amity makes it clear that her number one policy when dealing with cats is to squish them]]. She herself admits that it's probably not that comfortable for the cat or safe.
* TheTalk: Camila prepares to give Luz this in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xbjamw/the_talk/ the strip named after this trope]], only to be intrigued when Luz reveals to her that [[HomosexualReproduction girl couples can have babies using magic.]]
* TheyJustDontGetIt: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wt7ssf/emergency_meeting/ In this strip]], Raine calls a CATS meeting to talk about updating their name due to fighting the Collector now instead of the Coven. Darius suggests just renaming it to Witches Against The Collector and they don't have to abbreviate it to CATS. He gives up when this just gets him blank stares from the others.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ui78lt/welcome_to_your_personal_heck_odalia/ one strip]], the Blights let Luz, Eda, King, Hooty, Lilith, and Hunter hide out at their manor the week before the Day of Unity while they come up with a plan to stop Belos. While Odalia is obviously unhappy with the setup, [[TemptingFate she thinks she can handle it, as it's only a week]]. As soon as she sees the six making themselves at home in ways that annoy her (Lilith gushes over all of the artifacts the Blights have, Eda and Owlbert steal one of Odalia's vases, Hooty makes the manor his new body, King raids the manor's fridge to make a big sandwich, Luz and Amity blush over the idea of living together, and Edric and Emira start flirting with Hunter), she realizes how hard this week will be for her.
** Averted in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vi5xx3/halloween/ another comic]]. Amity, under the impression that humans dress up as "horrible and evil entities" for Halloween, uses a glamour charm to dress up as [[EvilMatriarch Odalia]], but is clearly unhappy about it. When Luz clarifies that people also tend to dress up as what they like, Amity quickly takes the chance to change into another costume.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/658504888780783616 During a raid on the Owl House]], Eda orders Hooty to take care of the Coven Scouts only for everyone to find him sleeping. Eda, Luz and King agree to let him have a break and go kick butt themselves.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Lilith [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tple1g/history_lesson/ talks about a great, and powerful leader]] with great ambition and a goal of purifying and purging their world of those they deemed unworthy. [[BaitAndSwitch She then goes on to talk about Belos]], revealing she was actually talking about Hitler. Steve's adoration to this description before the reveal makes him realize he's one of the bad guys.
* TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip: Amity subjects Hunter to this, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pao1s0/moringmark_she_knew_that_line_was_coming/ knowing he'd brag about how he got her to hand over the portal key to him.]]
* TimePassesMontage: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yonqmd/seed/ "Seed"]] has the Hexsquad make a grave for Flapjack, planting one of his feathers, a gravestone, and a palistrom seed, which Willow grows into a sapling. We then see the grave through the years and seasons as the sapling grows into a palistrom tree surrounding the gravestone as an adult Hunter, Willow, and their daughter admire the tree.
* TitleDrop: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11suz7h/title_drop/ This appropriately named comic]] features three instances for Season 3.
** When Luz asks how they knew where the Titan Blood was, Amity explains that Masha helped them figure out the rebus.
--->'''Amity:''' It's all- (Thanks to Them title card appears)
** After dealing with Kikimora, Luz gives a speech about saving the Boiling Isles.
--->'''Luz:''' Let's save the Isles from the Collector, and create a better world- (For the Future title card appears)
** After the Collector's [[AntiClimax surprisingly easy]] HeelFaceTurn, Amity finds Luz staring at her. Luz is imagining their wedding day and smiling goofily.
--->'''Amity:''' ...Why are you looking at me like that?\\
'''Luz:''' Oh, don't mind me. I'm just- (Watching and Dreaming title card appears)
* ToiletPaperTrail: Lampshaded and defied, as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/r16sfs/crossing_paths/ Willow tries to tell Boscha she's got toilet paper stuck to her belt, but decides against it after Boscha insults her]].
* TogetherInDeath: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1028yab/till_death_bring_us_together/ In the aptly named "Till Death Brings Us Together"]], an elderly Evelyn feels that her time has come and walks out in a snowstorm, passing away in front of the grave of her late husband. Her spirit, appearing as her younger self, is greeted by Caleb, and they walk together into the afterlife.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The comic [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zsmpus/test/ "Test"]] shows that Vee's taken a liking to chips, even offering to take a history test in Luz's place if she can get the basilisk a lifetime supply of them. Since then, select comics will have Vee eating a bag of chips in some scenes.
* TragicKeepsake: A sort applies for Belos, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/681063534417805312 as long ago when his brother was alive, an ancestor of the Clawthornes carved him a red cardinal palisman that he would name "Flapjack"]]. Once he notices the Clawthorne family crest on Lilith's staff, Belos spares her palisman and gives it back to her, saying he's returning a favor.
* TrainingMontage: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/s9cbdu/eye_of_the_tiger_playing_in_the_background/ Amity does one with Willow coaching her]]. She eventually gets strong enough to return Luz's favor in bridal carrying her when she breaks her leg in a grudgby game.
* TransformationOfThePossessed: When possessed by the Collector, Luz's skin turns yellow and blue split down the middle, her eyes turn red, her hair turns white, and she gains two star-shaped freckles under her left eye.
* {{Troll}}:
** The Titan finds Philip's constant near-deaths funny, and is all but said to be behind them.
** On the other hand, Belos would later blatantly mistranslate the Titan's commands into his own agenda of killing off all wild witches and establishing a fascist rule over the Boiling Isles.
** Raine, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uahkfs/cause_it_is/ noticing Terra's tea is a bit too hot]], volunteers to cool it. However, they also take the opportunity to make it taste like cat urine with their whistling trick.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/656330561575698432 Eda puts a]] [[KickMePrank "Hex Me!" note]] on Lilith's back while hugging her.
** Lilith, on the other hand, [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/654065637763792896 teams up with Hooty]] to mess with Eda, along with Luz and King, by tricking them into thinking that she can keep Hooty from getting dirty after being cleaned.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/670101300340523008 Once]], Luz sneaks into the Emperor's castle and leaves a speaker powered by a potion in the vents to play Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" on loop. One day later, the entire Emperor's Coven is begging for it to stop.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uhgsyf/moringmark_this_looks_like_a_job_for_steve/ While]] the Emperor's Coven surrounds the Owl House, it seems like Eda brutally killed Steve as soon as he broke in... only to reveal that she just stuck a fire glyph to a prop skeleton wearing Steve's cloak and threw it out to frighten the rest of the Emperor's Coven scouts while Lilith prepared a teleportation glyph. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Even Steve laughs at the trick once he is shown to be completely unharmed]].
** The Blight kids, including Amity, are all this. In one strip, Amity teams up with Edric to pull a prank on Emira, only to shift all of the blame on him when it's pulled off. Edric [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ulrwah/removing_the_sigil/ also pulls out a dagger]] when Odalia is dying from her Oracle sigil on the Day of Unity, making her think the only way to save her is to [[AnArmAndALeg cut her arm off]], when in reality Amity just uses a branding glove to take it off.
** Boscha tries to get away from Lumity. Unfortunately for her, they are actively following her to garner her annoyed reaction from their affectionate nature.
** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/668379958674128896 During an aerial battle]], Eda [[HeroicSacrifice takes an arrow to her back]] to protect Raine and pretends to die to get Raine to confess their love for her. When Raine sees the arrow got lodged in Eda's ponytail, they're not happy and Luz and Lilith leave Eda to her punishment.
--->'''Raine:''' ''(slaps Eda with each word)'' ''[[PunctuatedPounding I. Thought. You. Were. Dead!]]''\\
'''Eda:''' Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. I'm sorry, okay? Stop it- OUCH!
** Hunter has a habit of being the target of Luz's pranks in Mark's comics, going through [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/t51n7y/on_patrol/ getting googly eyes stuck on his mask by her while he's on patrol]], forced to eat his booger by her dare during truth-or-dare, and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ok5ole/got_ya_witch/ getting his staff stolen by her and Gus at one point]]. Ones set ''post'' Hunter's HeelFaceTurn serve to feed into their LikeBrotherAndSister dynamic more than anything.
*** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/663578319093153792 In a comic set after Belos' defeat]], Luz states that it's been 3 months since she's been gone and tells Hunter that he has to let her go, before disappearing in front of his eyes. Hunter stares in shock, reaches out where Luz was, and pinches the chuckling Luz's cheek, who simply used an invisibility glyph to trick Hunter.
---->'''Hunter:''' (livid and chasing a laughing Luz) I thought I was crazy for a second!
*** Luz and Gus dupe him into thinking he was [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vaxu7m/he_has_been_playing_it_for_2_hours/ he was playing against one of them in a video game for 2 hours when in reality, his controller wasn't even plugged in]].
*** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yl3lpx/wolf_facts/ After Hunter's attempt to segue a fact about wolves into flirting]] has Willow outflirt him and ends with him flustered, Gus, Luz, and Amity arrive and treat the scene like a nature tour.
---->'''Gus:''' On the right side, folks, you can see two wolves in their natural habitat.\\
'''Amity and Luz:''' Ooooo-\\
'''Gus:''' It seems the male wolf is very awkward at courting.\\
'''Amity:''' (snaps a photo) Aww.\\
'''Hunter:''' YOU GUYS ARE NOT HELPING!!
*** Hunter does get to invoke this himself, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pwilae/get_down/ ordering]] everyone except for Kikimora to duck after a scout triggers a trap in a ruin they're exploring. The traps just barely miss Kikimora as they only reach down to her exact height.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z8s7pc/trust_him_hes_an_expert/ Gus tells Amity that slowly blinking while gazing at someone is a sign of affection and trust]]. He doesn't mention he read this in a book on ''cat'' behaviours. Luz reacts with confusion while Gus barely contains his laughters
** While Hunter and Gus are messing around with a suction cup gun, Amity walks in to do some reading, tying her hair back and exposing her forehead. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11okw6h/bullseye/ Gus warns Hunter not to do it, but he doesn't listen]]. Amity gets him back by sticking him against a wall in abomination goo.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x5nnq6/fireside_chat/ Skara, Amelia and Cat believe Boscha's asleep during a campfire even after Skara calls her names to be sure.]] After talking for a while, Boscha scares them revealing she was awake the whole time.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yqjs8f/date/ Masha pretends to be interested in dating Luz]] to get on Vee's nerves. The shapeshifter still does get that date though.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11rx926/new_arm/ After giving Eda a new prosthetic arm]], Alador doesn't charge her any money for his service. Of course, while testing out said arm's features, Eda learns that the "bad gesture filter" Alador installed prevents Eda from using it to [[FlippingTheBird flip people off]], and Alador charges her 50,000 snails to get it unlocked.
* TroubledFetalPosition: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11as1qb/adulthood/ "Adulthood"]] has Vee taking the role of adult for the Noceda house while Camila's with the Hexsquad in the Demon Realm. [[TemptingFate She believes it'll be a cakewalk]] but after a while, she ends up lying on the kitchen island curled up and nibbling on her tail as the sink leaks and both the toaster and a pot on the oven catches fire, leading to Masha coming over to help her.
* {{Tsundere}}: Beta Amity is [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/m1x1ng/birthday_plan/ framed as this,]] angrily blushing and denying that she wants to do some [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial very specific romantic things]] with Beta Luz when the latter asks her what she wants to do tonight
-->'''Beta Luz:''' (while writing down things that Beta Amity says that she doesn't want to do) Uh-huh. Dessert?\\
'''Beta Amity:''' ({{beat}}) I absolutely hate strawberry smoothie.
* UndeadTaxExemption: Vee was able to enroll in Gravesfield High despite her complete lack of legal identity [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12n3cfo/not_technically_lying/ by having Hooty pretend to be an angel and scaring Principal Hal into accepting her]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Belos doesn't take Gwendolyn seriously when she declares he'll pay for nearly petrifying Eda. Since she's a Beast Keeper, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qlw0yc/beast_keeping_coven/ she commands a flock of pigeons to poop on his freshly polished vehicle]].
* WackyMarriageProposal:
** Heavily downplayed in a [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/osni0g/moringmark_task_failed_successfully/ comic where Raine tries to propose to Eda]]. Their initial plan was to ask Eda if she wanted to play a duet with them at a wedding ceremony, only to reveal it was ''their'' wedding they were talking about. Unfortunately, Raine gets too nervous to follow the script implied to have been written by Luz, leading to them blurting out [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "YOU, ME! MARRY!! PLEASE?"]] instead. Eda still says yes, but Raine is humiliated by how the situation played out.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12kq799/passing_the_torch/ "Passing the Torch"]] has Hunter get nervous about proposing to Willow, so Waffles pulls on his forelock and he falls flat on his face holding out the ring box.
* WallPinOfLove: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ Done by Amity to Luz as part of their scheme to mess Boscha.]]
* WardrobeMalfunction: After getting home from a date with Masha, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ztgann/dress/ Vee accidentally ruins the dress Masha made for her by transforming into her normal basilisk form]]. She lets out a [[TheScream loud shriek]] that attracts Masha back, allowing them to fix the dress, but Vee still feels very guilty for what happened.
* WaxOnWaxOff: The Bat Queen has her children play hide and seek, and stops them from going to sleep until they can find a good enough hiding spot. This was all a way for her to get them to hide, as the Emperor's Coven would raid her forest, with her as the children's only protector. [[HeroicSacrifice She presumably dies, but Luz and Eda find the children in the aftermath.]]
* WeaponForIntimidation: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/190187961858/the-earths-mightiest-weapon This very early strip]] has Luz threatening Warden Wrath with fidget spinners. He's genuinely afraid of them and surrenders to her.
* WeirdnessCensor: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/10av7z0/advantage/ When Vee, disguised as Luz, increases her height]] to even her team's odds of winning the volleyball game against a team consisting of tall players, the cheerleader girl notices and is about to question her, before shrugging it off, deciding that it is not the weirdest thing Luz has ever done.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/676624286474190848 Boscha questions why Amity threw their ten years of friendship away for Luz, who she's known for three months.]] Amity [[ArmorPiercingResponse proceeds to sum up why]].
* WeWantOurJerkBack:
** Lilith may be a traitor to the Emperor's Coven, but Belos, [[SitcomArchNemesis Hunter]] and [[{{Jerkass}} Kikimora]] [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ogx2k7/missing_lilith/ all agree]] that [[OnlySaneMan she was necessary for the the Coven to function]].
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qc2ixt/the_new_hunter/ In another comic]], Eda asks Luz to find a way to get Hunter to lighten up, which she and Amity do through an impromptu spa day. After said spa day results in Hunter becoming much friendlier, Eda begs Luz to change him back to his old self due to how overly affectionate he is.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Of a sort, as Gus cannot figure out how Luz sleeping is adorable to Amity, chalking it purely up to love.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A child Amity just read to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qwqdo1/moringmark_once_upon_a_time/ asks what happened to Luz after she beat Belos.]] Amity isn't sure if she [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed herself]], but hopes that Luz got sent back to the human realm and is trying to find her way back to the demon realm.
* WhatIf: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/orc46l/moringmark_what_if/ This appropriately named comic]] shows Luz and King having learned and pay their respects to Eda and Raine for sacrificing themselves to take out Darius and Eberwolf in an alternate ending to "Eda's Requiem".
* WhatIsThisFeeling: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v0bs3j/kiss/ After Willow kisses Hunter's cheek to show him what a kiss is]], he's confused about why he feels equal amounts happiness and disappointment.
* WholeCostumeReference: Comics depicting Luz as an adult usually show her wearing an outfit that was clearly inspired by Azura, just modified to be less overtly feminine. Similarly, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y9uh1z/meeting_the_parents/ Hunter's outfit]] following the release of "Thanks to Them" is just a fantasy verson of Chief Engineer O'Bailey's uniform.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: PlayedForLaughs. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/q7cpgf/be_nice/ When Hunter sides with the Owl gang against Belos]], Belos questions how he can consider them family. When Hunter tries to answer, he recalls times when Luz mischievously denied him a handshake, Eda called his voice annoying, King pulled his hair, and Amity punched him on the head with an abomination fist.
-->'''Hunter:''' Remind me why I am siding with you people again?\\
'''Amity:''' Focus.
* WomanChild: In [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wby6he/bedtime_story/ one comic]], Lilith asks Eda to read her a bedtime story while she goes to sleep with a Hooty plushie.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: ''Amity'' becomes one in the events of [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vxbxd0/new_game/ "New Game"]]. ForWantOfANail takes effect thanks to Belos petrifying Luz, something not even the Collector can undo. Amity is pushed over the edge from this and Belos escaping to Earth, so she offers a new game to the Collector: the two of them will play "Hunt the Witch Hunter", and go to Earth where they will hunt Belos down like a wild animal, the Collector agreeing immediately. Willow tries pointing out that this will ravage Earth, but Amity doesn't care, feeling sacrificing Earth is a necessary evil if it means protecting the Boiling Isles, especially when the former lacks anyone they care about now that Luz is gone. She tells Willow to destroy the portal once she and the Collector are through, trapping them in the process. Willow tries asking her if this is what ''Luz'' would want, but Amity laments she wishes she could ask. The entire time Amity is struggling to fight back tears, and can only kiss Luz's petrified form goodbye before she and the Collector leave.
* WorthIt: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11f4h91/he_died_a_hero/ In "He Died a Hero"]], when a furious Belos is on the brink of killing one of the past Golden Guards over allowing a group of fugitive wild witches to escape, the Golden Guard quickly tries to talk himself out and blame the botched mission on an alleged Scout named Haywood. Haywood who? "Haywood you go [censor] yourself, buttface." [[GilliganCut Cut to]] to that Golden Guard's ghost telling Caleb and the others this trope.
* WrittenInAbsence: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yu2gb9/what_did_i_miss/ This comic]] shows where Owlbert had been during "King's Tide".
* WTHCostumingDepartment:
** [[InUniverse In-universe example]]. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/svjmfi/blending_in/ While]] Amity, Gus and Willow have fine disguises for the human world, Hunter wears "armor" made up of a hockey uniform, a parka and sunglasses, as well as a hockey stick as a weapon. Predictably, Luz tells him to take it off.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wtjzlx/blending_in/ In another comic]], Gus enchants concealment stones for everyone. While Amity, Willow, and Hunter simply get human ears, Gus made his make him look older and have constant sparkles around him. Luz tries to point out how contrary that is to blending in, but Gus ignores her.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre:
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lmnihj/moringmar_picking_her_up/ After]] a drunk Boscha calls herself a loser nobody wants to be around, Amity tells her she's cool when she isn't being mean and tells Boscha to treat people a bit better. Boscha seems to take it under consideration.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qe5nu1/moringmark_from_a_bully_to_a_friend/ After Willow wins a grudgby game and Boscha reveals she's jealous of her for having everything she doesn't]] (friends who care about her, being skilled in a track she likes and talent in grudgby), Willow tells her that she has charisma, natural leadership skills and that Boscha will achieve something great by being the best of herself.
** In [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/661856976460021760 this comic,]] after Palisman Adoption Day, Luz is feeling down about how she doesn't know what kind of witch she is and how she might not be cut out for it. Eda then points out she is a better witch than she realizes in multiple ways, prompting Luz to shed TearsOfJoy.
** In [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/682784876244713472 this comic]], Amity is asked to comfort a miserable Luz who is blaming herself for Hunter being in danger and teaching Philip/Belos a new glyph; after Luz starts to claim she's doomed everyone, Amity gives her a CooldownHug and points out that far from ruining things, Luz has improved the lives of Eda, Lilith, King, Hooty and Amity herself, more than likely saved Hunter by getting him away from Belos and Amity has no doubt that Luz is the key to defeating Belos...and she'll be with her every step of the way.
** Willow quotes the trope word for word in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vc44vr/scars/ this comic]] after learning that Hunter's gloves hide the scars of his failed first mission as the Golden Guard, as he'd spent hours digging himself and his squad out of a collapsed cave. When Hunter focuses on the failure of the mission itself, Willow points out that he saved people's lives that day.
** Though Luz doesn't tell Amity about her guilt over having aided Philip in meeting the Collector, Amity clearly can see the parallels in between Luz's emotional state and her interpretation of Azura when the Good Witch is fooled by the story's villain and talks of how Azura was a good, kind-hearted person who helped truly good people, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y0fiv8/reading_night/ providing an indirect example of this trope.]]
** When Luz and Hunter [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y3uquu/mess_up_ometer/ express their self-loathing misgivings]] about having helped Philip meet the Collector and being a grimwalker clone of Belos' brother respectively, the rest of the Hexsquad assure them that they are not at fault for either of those things. [[ShutUpHannibal Though for Belos, they don't even allow him to make his case.]]
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zwg9lu/intervention/ When Luz claims becoming a glyph teacher would make things worse]], the Hexsquad holds an intervention at Camila's request to remind her of all the good that she did for them to get her to accept how awesome she is. It's a lot to take in, but Luz is brought to tears from everyone's praise.
** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1095dxc/the_real_amity/ Amity tells the truth about]] [[TheBully who she]] [[ItsAllAboutMe was]] to Camila, who commends her for becoming a better person. However, Amity questions whether or not she really has changed for the better, seeing herself possibly as a person who still does things for herself, or to save someone she cares about. Camila however, dismisses the notion, pointing out that she took the effort to restore her friendship with Willow when she could have left it at an apology and chose to state her mind to her parents when she could have just rescued Luz. Camila also concludes that while Luz was the inciting action for Amity's [[TookALevelInKindness change]], she did the rest herself, and that she is not wearing any mask at all. That she is very much the real Amity. At these words, Amity proceeds to wipe [[TearsOfJoy a tear from her eye.]]
* YouAreGrounded: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/v0mlrh/grounded/ Here]], Eda grounds King for gluing Hooty's mouth shut because Hooty ate his last cracker and tries to get Luz to take the blame. However, he's ecstatic to experience it for the first time.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Let's just say that Viney is not pleasing with getting three tickets that contradict as to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x919g5/parking_tickets/ whether or not Puddles is legally a vehicle, an aircraft, or an animal.]]
* YouNeverAsked: Hooty doesn't give King Tarak's message until he asks him (or rather [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rnnpl1/dear_santa/ Santa Hooty]]) to tell him where his dad is. Cue angry stare.
[[/folder]]

* RealTrailerFakeMovie: Poster variants. Following the GrandFinale of the series, while Dana Terrance has said there ''may'' be more ExpandedUniverse material or a movie in the future, nothing is certain yet. Mark however went ahead and created [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/130n2k6/fan_posters_a_movie_a_prequel_and_two_spinoffs/ four posters for hypothetical entries]] in the series:

** "Evelyn", an OriginsEpisode for Evelyn, Caleb and Philip Whitbane, and Flapjack, set during colonial times and hinting at how Philip would become Emperor Belos.
