| 6 | * 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]]. [[AchievementsInIgnorance Belos turns out to be extremely weak to fire, something not even he knew]]. |
| 7 | * KillSat: Amity seems to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/155ouz0/awesome_scientist_girlfriend/ have built this]] after some considerable effort, much to Luz's shock when she was asked to test it out and saw the results. Amity reveals that it is actually an ''emergency lunch dispatcher'' that uses the heat from re-entry to warm up the food. In response to Luz's claim, the comic ends with her given the idea to create an ''actual'' orbital strike cannon, much to Luz's dismay. |

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]]. |
| 14 | ** 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"]].

| 20 | * 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. |

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.

Lilith chooses to be married to her position as a "bad-girl historian". |
| 64 | * MarryForLove: Boscha mentions to Jay [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/195om2b/jay/ while giving her some family history]] that her mother used to be the favorite daughter of a wealthy socialite, but she threw it all away to marry someone that her mother didn't approve of. |

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. |
| 115 | ** In [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/680429355240980480 one comic]], Raine (after their memories were altered by Terra) takes Kikimora out for a day on the town after her family rejects her.

| 119 | * 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. |
| 120 | * MythologyGag: |
| 121 | ** Before "Watching and Dreaming" aired, several comics set in the future would have Luz dressed in an outfit resembling the Good Witch Azura, but around the time Ayzee was introduced, Mark stopped drawing Luz in that kind of outfit. In "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/176zf6t/grom_factor_10/ Grom Factor]]", Luz would once again wear an Azura costume as part of a roleplaying session with Amity (who dresses up as Hecate), and would continue to wear it during her mission to [[spoiler:help Milan save Grom]]. |
| 122 | ** After getting his hair cut by Willow, Hunter is hesitant to look in the mirror due to seeing "A gloomier and edgier version" of himself, AKA, Caleb. When Willow looks in the same mirror, she and Hunter see a reflection of Beta Willow. |

It's unstated if she kept that name upon their marriage, took Viney's unknown last name upon their marriage, or if they opted for a compound name like Luz and Amity. |
| 126 | * 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. |
| 127 | * 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]]. |
| 128 | * 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". |
| 129 | * 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...]] |
| 130 | -->'''Luz:''' ''(covered in scratches)'' I... might need to wash the staff. |
| 131 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: PlayedForLaughs when Lilith splitting the curse with Eda doesn't just weaken her magic; [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zxa9i8/let_the_pain_be_shared/ it gives each sister some of the other's physical detriments...]] and gives Lilith fleas. |

| 136 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/16zo02j/exception/ After]] the Illusion Teacher shows Principal Bump why they should ban the mixing of magic between the Abomination and Illusion tracks, he agrees in a way that demonstrates this. |
| 137 | * NoNameGiven: Despite being {{Ascended Extra}}s, names are not given to any canon characters who didn't already have them, including Vee's friends. |
| 138 | * 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. |
| 139 | -->'''Luz:''' Now, hold hands!\ |

| 144 | (Hunter toothily puts his mouth on the skeleton's head)\ |
| 145 | '''Luz:''' Okay, just...s-stop, you can stop now. |
| 146 | * 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". |
| 147 | * NotADate: Gus asks Matt [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/138n824/date/ to visit the carnival and have dinner with him,]] which Amity immediately recognizes as a date, but Matt refuses to believe it even when Lilith and Hooty agree, and doesn't realize it until even Kikimora agrees. |
| 148 | * NotInThisForYourRevolution: |
| 149 | ** 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. |
| 150 | ** 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. |
| 151 | ** Villainous example that's played for laughs in "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12o9ck3/queen/ Queen]]", where Tibbles and Kikimora are just playing along with Odalia's revolutionary schemes, and immediately [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere ditch her]] upon being pardoned and given community service, respectively. |
| 152 | * NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: When Jerbo becomes a doctor in the future, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/19ajqa6/pandora_24/ his business card]] describes himself as a "Neurologist and Plant Psychiatrist (Yes, it exists.)". |
| 153 | * 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. |
| 154 | * 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. |
| 155 | * NotSoAboveItAll: |
| 156 | ** 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. |
| 157 | ** [[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. |
| 158 | --->'''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. |
| 159 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zoz9ao/coven_heads/ When an angry mob is about to attack the six 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. |
| 160 | ** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/140tohh/tall_tales/ Darius]] is initially dismissive when Hunter tries to introduce ''Cosmic Frontier'' to him, but when he gets to reading it, he starts to tear up at the death of a major character. |
| 161 | * 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]]. |
| 162 | * 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]]. |
| 163 | * 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. |
| 164 | * 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. |
| 165 | * NowLetMeCarryYou: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12v6rat/sister/ Sister]] shows Luz carrying King on her back over the years until he becomes too tall for that, moving to them walking side-by-side before ending with King carrying an elderly Luz. |
| 166 | [[/folder]] |
| 167 | [[folder:O]] |
| 168 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Once she got older, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/18ofkcf/mama_eda/ Eda]] started to pretend to act like a senile old woman in order to avoid socialzing. She was so committed to the act, she even acted this way around Ayzee, who is basically her granddaughter, though Eda said planned to tell Ayzee eventually after her "Fight Coven" was discovered. |
| 169 | * 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". |
| 170 | * ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription: |
| 171 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u49n51/crush/ Eda]] fails to recognize that Raine's crushing on her. |
| 172 | ** When the rest of the Hexsquad questions [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x4f215/whos_in_charge/ who's in charge whenever Camila's out]], Willow says nobody has to be. She then proceeds to divvy up all the chores between everybody. |
| 173 | * 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. |
| 174 | -->'''Willow:''' Awww, wholesome.\ |
| 175 | '''Amity:''' In a weird way, but yeah. |
| 176 | ** 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. |
| 177 | * 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"]]. |
| 178 | * OhCrap: |
| 179 | ** [[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. |
| 180 | ** [[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. |
| 181 | ** [[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. |
| 182 | --->'''Viney:''' [[IWarnedYou That's why they should keep all their feet on the ground!]]\ |
| 183 | '''Luz:''' (weakly) [[{{Touche}} I stand corrected]]. |
| 184 | ** [[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... |
| 185 | --->'''Luz:''' Did I just become a fraud like Belos? |
| 186 | ** 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... |
| 187 | --->'''Camila:''' ''(rushing to stop Amity from putting her a live squirrel in the oven)'' [[BigNo Nooooooooooo!]] |
| 188 | ** Flapjack responds this way due to [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/17ext1s/not_the_hair_noodle/ Hunter no longer having a hair noodle to tug]]. |
| 189 | * 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. |
| 190 | -->'''Luz:''' (sweat drops) You'll never let me live that down, will you?\ |
| 191 | '''Amity:''' Nope. |
| 192 | * OnceMoreWithClarity: In one strip, Skara seemingly does several mean things to Willow: snatching his seat in class, trying to plant bugs in her locker, and knocking her lunch out of her hands at lunchtime. After Willow gives Skara a glare and walks off, we see that she was actually saving Willow from pranks Boscha was playing on her: putting glue on Willow's seat, was the one who put the bugs in Willow's locker (that Skara was getting rid of), and put hot peppers in Willow's lunch. |
| 193 | * 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. |
| 194 | * OnlyOneFindsItFun: Viney is a DreadfulMusician despite having almost two decades of practice, but [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/724459490154594305 Skara is shown to love her playing none the less]]. |
| 195 | -->'''Amity:''' Love is blind, ... and deaf, too. |
| 196 | * 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 [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/u1ives/leaving_the_emperors_coven/ Hunter's death is faked]]. |
| 197 | * 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.]] |
| 198 | * OpenSecret: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/183kc9k/the_gravesfield_conspiracy/ When Jacob tries to convince passerbys that magic is real and Eda is a witch]], it's revealed that a good chunk of the population of Gravesfield already knows. It's just that all the cases of her using magic were to help one of them out in some way, so they keep quiet about it. |
| 199 | * 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.]] |
| 200 | * 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". |
| 201 | * 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. |

| 204 | * 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. |
| 205 | * PaperThinDisguise: |
| 206 | ** 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. |
| 207 | ** [[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. |
| 208 | ** 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.]] |
| 209 | ** 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. |
| 210 | ** 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. |
| 211 | * 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. |
| 212 | * 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]]. |
| 213 | ** [[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. |
| 214 | * 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. |
| 215 | * PassingTheTorch: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12kq799/passing_the_torch/ A comic named such]] has one between Flapjack and Waffle. Hunter gets nervous about proposing to Willow, so Flapjack's spirit instructs Waffle to pull on his forelock like he once did. Hunter falls flat on his face holding out the ring box, which amuses Willow. |
| 216 | * PetTheDog: |
| 217 | ** 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]]. |
| 218 | ** [[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. |
| 219 | ** 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]]. |
| 220 | ** 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]]. |
| 221 | * 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. |
| 222 | * 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. |
| 223 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: |
| 224 | ** 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. |
| 225 | ** It is however, played straight when [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/18f47gr/addictive Luz discovers that Belos created Penstagram and made it addictive]] to keep people from rebelling against him. The Hexsquad tosses away their scrolls, but goes back to using them after a few seconds. |
| 226 | --->'''Gus:''' Well, it didn't work out for him, did it? |
| 227 | * PiggybackCute: |
| 228 | ** [[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. |
| 229 | ** 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]]. |
| 230 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1b9olii/piggyback/ In a sisterly example]], Luz carries Vee when she cuts her foot on a broken glass bottle. As Luz suggests she get actual shoes, Vee leans onto her accepting the gesture. |
| 231 | * 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. |
| 232 | * PlotAllergy: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/14cl78u/cat/ Amity's always wanted to hug a house cat]], and jumps at the chance while out with Luz. However, it doesn't take long to see Amity's allergic to cat hair, so she's forced to pet it from a distance with abomination goo. |

| 236 | ** 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. |
| 237 | ** Played straight with [[TakeThat Mickey Mouse]], who gets into a brawl with Tiny Nose/Dana Terrace over homosexual content in the show. |
| 238 | --->'''Mickey Mouse:''' No gays allowed in the Mouse House! |
| 239 | * 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. |
| 240 | * 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. |
| 241 | * 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. |
| 242 | * 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. |
| 243 | * ThePowerOfRock: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1afih6z/classified/ Raine and Skara]] once tried to explore non-lethal options of combining magic and technolgy for a potential invasion of from the Human Realm by channeling bard magic through an electric guitar. Unfortunately, they were forced to abandon the project when a single chord produced a WaveMotionGun from the speaker and vaporized the top half of the tank they were using as a target. |
| 244 | * PrecisionFStrike: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/14ji4bj/spoke_too_soon/ Masha]] lets out one of these when they learn how the Boiling Isles embraces more positive ideals than the Human Realm. |
| 245 | -->'''Masha:''' F**k Earth, I'm moving here! |
| 246 | * ProfaneLastWords: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/710598150895943680 One Golden Guard]] dies telling Belos to "go [[CensoredForComedy ***]] yourself, buttface,". Darius [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/17vu84h/last_words/ learns about it]] through Gus, and is quite proud. |
| 247 | * ProphecyTwist: |
| 248 | ** 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. |
| 249 | ** 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. |
| 250 | -->'''Eda:''' Huh. I guess that checks out. |
| 251 | * 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]]. |
| 252 | * 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. |
| 253 | * PuppyDogEyes: |
| 254 | ** 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. |
| 255 | ** [[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. |
| 256 | * PurposefullyOverpowered: Lampshaded once by Darius, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ysbavq/overpowered/ who sees the Hexsquad as such for their past accomplishments]]. |
| 257 | [[/folder]] |
| 258 | [[folder:R]] |
| 259 | * RageBreakingPoint: |
| 260 | ** 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. |
| 261 | ** [[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. |
| 262 | * 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: |
| 263 | ** "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. |
| 264 | ** "Eda Vs. The Boiling Isles", a {{prequel}} set during Eda's time at Hexside, focusing on her, Lilith, and Raine. |
| 265 | ** "Evelyn", an OriginsEpisode for Evelyn, Caleb and Philip Wittebane, and Flapjack, set during colonial times and hinting at how Philip would become Emperor Belos. |
| 266 | ** "[=Cabin7=]", a spinoff focusing on Vee, Masha, and their two friends while at Reality Check Summer Camp, and the oddities they find there. |
| 267 | * 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. |
| 268 | * RedMage: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rhrc31/moringmark_a_new_way/ 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. |
| 269 | * 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. |
| 270 | * 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. |
| 271 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: Well, more "confirmed to be related": |
| 272 | ** The two unnamed potion track students from "Them's the Breaks, Kid" were only implied to be Boscha's mothers in the show, but several comics specifically depict them as such. |
| 273 | ** Vee is shown to still be living with the Nocedas by the time of the epilogue in the show, though whether or not she is legally a member of the family is unstated. Here, she's plainly stated to have been adopted by Camila and there are multiple comics devoted to her and Luz's relationship as sisters. |
| 274 | * RelationshipUpgrade: Namedropped in [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/15g9oh6/upgrade/ this strip]], as Pandora and Jay discuss how likely Ayzee and Milan are to hook up after being left alone. |
| 275 | * RevealingContinuityLapse: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1bt4ga6/dream_or_reality/ One April Fools' Day comic]] has Caleb bringing Evelyn breakfast in bed, but something is clearly wrong as little details change from panel to panel (like the time on the clock or the picture frame). It becomes obvious the longer that it goes on that Evelyn is simply dreaming that Caleb is still alive after Philip killed him. |
| 276 | * RevealingCoverUp: When Luz and Amity try to kiss in public, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/15ct1ap/hat_mode/ Luz asks Stringbean to turn into a hat to cover their faces]] before doing the deed. Gus and Willow who were sitting at the next table over tell them that it just makes their kiss even more obvious, much to their awkwardness. |
| 277 | * RewatchBonus: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12ru8fh/illusion_lesson/ "Illusion lesson"]] is all about Gus teaching a university class on how to spot people in disguise. On reread, it become very obvious that [[spoiler:"Gus" is actually Amity under one of his illusions, even doing her hand on hip pose from her reference sheet in the first panel.]] |
| 278 | * RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12bk19v/being_belos/ As the Collector forces Luz to be Belos]], they ask if she can do a better job as emperor than he did. Luz proceeds to complete several beneficial tasks before stepping down from the monarchy and turning herself in, to the Collector's dismay. |
| 279 | -->'''The Collector:''' When I said "I put you in his shoes", I didn't mean "Goody Two-Shoes!" |
| 280 | * RidiculousFutureInflation: In one strip, Luz wanted to buy Amity a new glove, but found she only had three snails[[note]]the gloves cost $200[[/note]]. Later on, she and Lilith make an excursion through a time pool into the Deadwardian Era, where Lilith explains that a snail was worth ''100' times more'' than it is in the present. This prompts Luz and Lilith to take advantage of the economy. |
| 281 | -->'''Lilith:''' ''(Slinging a bag over her shoulder)'' Eda! We bought a whole month's worth of essentials!\ |
| 282 | '''Amity:''' ''(In response to the new gift Luz gave her)'' Spider silk gloves? But how did you afford these? |
| 283 | * RingRingCrunch: In [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/16838z1/alarm/ Alarm]] we see Willow smash an alarm clock rather than waking up; then a plant enchanted and trained as a backup unfurls, takes up a bell and hammer, notes what is left of the more mechanical clock, and evidently thinks the better of it as it quietly refurls. |
| 284 | * 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]] |
| 285 | * 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. |
| 286 | [[/folder]] |
| 287 | [[folder:S]] |
| 288 | * SacrificialLion: Steve was groomed to be this by a writer so that his death would motivate the main characters once things got serious. |
| 289 | * SadisticChoice: |
| 290 | ** [[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. |
| 291 | ** 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. |
| 292 | ** 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. |
| 293 | * 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. |
| 294 | * 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]]. |
| 295 | * SarcasticConfession: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/16w7kya/truth/ When a classmate questions how Luz suddenly has a new sister that doesn't look anything like her]], Vee gives a full version of her backstory as a shapeshifting refuge from another world with a straight face (freaking out Luz in the process) before "admitting" that she's just adopted. |
| 296 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Invoked. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/13xicm6/getting_caught/ After]] Stringbean is seen flying in front of a pair of senior citizens, they call the police to report a girl with a flying mini-demon. What the cop sees is Luz pretending to control Stringbean posing as a drone. |
| 297 | * 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. |
| 298 | * SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Donwplayed. While Boscha is at the very least civil with the Hexsquad as an adult, she still tried to get Jay to form a rivalry with Pandora. |
| 299 | * ScrewTheRulesImFamous: |
| 300 | ** Luz and Eda take advantage of their "saviors of the Boiling Isles" when [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wy9ylm/just_like_old_times/?rdt=56165 they start a beer smuggling operation]]. |
| 301 | ** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/702806809156665344 Eda]] is told off by Darius for commiting a robbery because he is the government's security advisor and is probably legally obligated to report that. She responds that because she is a "national hero" for saving the Boiling Isles, she's not going to jail no matter what she does. |
| 302 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: |
| 303 | ** [[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. |
| 304 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12o9ck3/queen/ Tibbles and Kikimora]] play along with Odalia's evil revolutionary scheme while they're all in jail, but immediately ditch her once they're pardoned and given community service, respectively. |
| 305 | * 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. |
| 306 | * 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. |
| 307 | -->'''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. |
| 308 | * SeriousBusiness: All over the place. |
| 309 | ** [[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. |
| 310 | --->'''Luz''': (livid) I can assure you that shipping can make a story better by adding more characterization to- |
| 311 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/wt7ssf/emergency_meeting/ Raine treats changing the name of the resistance as seriously as a strategy meeting]]. |
| 312 | ** [[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. |
| 313 | ** [[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. |
| 314 | ** [[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. |
| 315 | *** 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. |
| 316 | ** Hunter and Amity get into an [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/662672349391437824 very intense pillow fight]], ending with Luz's room in a mess of feathers. |
| 317 | ** 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. |
| 318 | * SexlessMarriage: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/qrm46o/moringmark_a_twist_in_time_part_1/ In an altered timeline where Luz never came to the Boiling Isles]], Amity ended up together with Hunter as part of an ArrangedMarriage. While the two are shown to sleep in the same bed, there is a large pile of pillows separating their sides (though given the fact that [[IncompatibleOrientation Amity is a lesbian]], this is to be expected). |
| 319 | * ShipperOnDeck: |
| 320 | ** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/682603682657976320 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. |
| 321 | ** Despite being their enemy, Belos is depicted as one for Lumity in some earlier Owl House comic strips. |
| 322 | ** 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. |
| 323 | ** [[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. |
| 324 | ** "Upgrade" shows that Pandora is this to Ayzee and Milan, leaving them alone so Ayzee can undergo a RelationshipUpgrade with her crush. |
| 325 | * ShippingTorpedo: |
| 326 | ** 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. |
| 327 | ** 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. |
| 328 | ** 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. |
| 329 | * ShipTease: Along with canon couples, several characters are implied to be interested or paired with each other. |
| 330 | ** Multiple comics tease Hunter with Edric and Emira, mostly showing him dating the latter. |
| 331 | ** 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. |
| 332 | ** Post-''Owl House'' comics such as [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/13t89b6/some_are_canoner_than_others/ "Some Are Canon-er Than Others"]] pair together Alador/Darius, Gus/Mattholomule, and Skara/Viney while making Eda/Raine and Vee/Masha [[OfficialCouple official]]. |
| 333 | ** "Walkthrough" shows Ayzee having a very obvious attraction towards Milan and as she goes into extensive detail on how to beat the seventh chapter of "Coven Quest III", Milan looks at her like [[LoveEpiphany she's fallen for her as well]]. By Milan's second appearance, they share their FirstKiss. |
| 334 | * 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. |
| 335 | * ShockinglyExpensiveBill: Hunter feels that an artist commission he hired is a rip-off considering they ask for "100 human snails" to design his OC. Lucky for him, it's Luz and [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zy62st/commission/ she gives him the design on the house]]. |
| 336 | * 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. |
| 337 | -->'''Eda:''' [[IWarnedYou Told ya it was a bad idea]]. |
| 338 | * SickeninglySweethearts: Luz and Amity of course in some comics. They even [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ do it on purpose once just to mess with Boscha.]] |
| 339 | * SickEpisode: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/112ymti/cold/ This strip]] shows Amity having come down with a cold and Luz taking care of her. |
| 340 | * 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. |
| 341 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Alador and Darius alternate between this and VitriolicBestBuds in several comics. |
| 342 | * SkewedPriorities: |
| 343 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uo1r32/new_outfits/ One comic]] has Darius designing a new uniform for the CATS during a strategy meeting. |
| 344 | ** 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. |
| 345 | * SleptThroughTheApocalypse: Subverted. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/17j3j2s/nap/ The Collector]] ''thinks'' this happened, as when he goes to visit the Owl House after a nap, he sees it covered in cobwebs and three tombstones set in front. In reality, King, Eda, and Raine were celebrating Halloween, and they just got back from trick-or-treating. |
| 346 | * SlumberParty: Downplayed, as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uqwmt6/before_the_storm/ Amity improvises one for Luz]] since she feels they don't have time for one with the Day of Unity approaching. |
| 347 | * 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. |
| 348 | * 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]]. |
| 349 | * SneakingOutAtNight: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xexl84/news/ The Hexsquad once attempted this]] after seeing a news sighting of Belos near the Gravesfield Cemetery. Camila catches them as soon as they leave the house, only to agree to drive them when Luz offers to let her hit Belos with her bat. |
| 350 | * SneakingSnacks: Ayzee [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/144a2sc/cookie_thief/ attempts to use an invisibility glyph to do this]] but she forgets the outer circle resulting in her getting caught. |

| 352 | ** [[TearsOfJoy Luz]], when Gus demonstrates the Rick Roll meme as [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/lhl8ps/moringmark_the_most_important_moment_in_human/ the most important moment of human history]]. |
| 353 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sbns96/the_interview/ Perry expresses pride in Gus]] for grilling Kikimora about Raine's disappearance. |
| 354 | ** 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. |
| 355 | ** [[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. |
| 356 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/y19t45/alador_would_be_proud/ Luz praises Amity]] over building an abomination-powered alarm clock. |
| 357 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yykrdk/training/ This comic]] has Hunter trying to teach Pandora 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. |
| 358 | --->'''Hunter:''' (awed) I didn't just imagine that, did I?\ |
| 359 | '''Willow:''' (also awed) Nope. |
| 360 | ** "[[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. |
| 361 | ** Said word-for-word by [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12yka61/getting_in_trouble/ Hunter to Pandora]] for defending herself from bullies and fighting off everyone else who came after her. |
| 362 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/170isce/proud/ Eda's reaction]] to King trying to blackmail her into giving him an allowance. |
| 363 | * SodaCandySplosion: In [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uzb8uu/counterparts/ one strip]], Willow and Gus mention how they once knew a witch called Lucine (an IdenticalStranger to Luz) who decided one day to [[TooDumbToLive drink an entire bottle of fizzy Coke and Mentos]]. [[GoryDiscretionShot We don't see the aftermath,]] but it's confirmed that it killed her, and seriously traumatized Gus and Willow. |
| 364 | * 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. |
| 365 | * 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. |
| 366 | * 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. |
| 367 | * 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.]] |
| 368 | * SpitTake: |
| 369 | ** 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. |
| 370 | ** 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. |
| 371 | ** 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. |
| 372 | ** Edric, [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yespsw/message_from_the_dead/ as a result of Amity's]] PhoneCallFromTheDead. |
| 373 | ** Amity, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11wjmrr/illusion_of_choice/ When she realizes that one way or another]], regardless of whether or not Camila or Darius adopts him, Hunter is going to be her brother in one shape or form (See Catch22Dilemma and AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul above). |
| 374 | ** Papa Titan, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12jn5d9/watching_and_screaming/ when he sees Eda proceed with]] WilliamTelling with his son, King. |
| 375 | * SpiritAdvisor: |
| 376 | ** [[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. |
| 377 | ** [[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. |
| 378 | ** [[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]]. |
| 379 | * SpotTheImposter: |
| 380 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/sd7kbi/catching_a_basilisk/ When the Greater 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. |
| 381 | ** [[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. |
| 382 | --->'''Luz:''' (upset) You could've kissed the wrong Luz...\ |
| 383 | '''Amity:''' Just kidding! I knew it was you!\ |
| 384 | '''King:''' Dang it, [[{{Troll}} I should've pointed at Vee!]]\ |
| 385 | '''Vee:''' (disappointed) I want a girlfriend. |
| 386 | * SpottingTheThread: 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. |
| 387 | * StagedPedestrianAccident: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/xmtmbh/same_old_eda/ Done by Eda,]] though she fails to notice that she jumped in front of Luz and Amity's car. |
| 388 | * StagingAnIntervention: |
| 389 | ** [[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. |
| 390 | ** 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. |
| 391 | * StatingTheSimpleSolution: |
| 392 | ** 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. |
| 393 | ** 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.]] |
| 394 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/l5ekst/moringmark_a_sisters_forgiveness/ When Eda finds Lilith having a nightmare]], she travels into her mind to put her at ease. She later shows a memory revealing she's been doing it since they were kids. |
| 395 | --->'''Lilith:''' You could've just woken me up, you know.\ |
| 396 | '''Eda:''' Oh, shut up. |
| 397 | ** [[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. |
| 398 | ** 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: |
| 399 | --->'''Amity:''' Because an egg was easier to carve, wasn't it?\ |
| 400 | '''Luz:''' ...[[BluntYes Yeah]]. |
| 401 | ** When [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/zcaezs/business/ Viney's Beast Taming business falls flat]], Luz suggests she make use of her healing skills. Viney rhetorically asks why [[YouAnsweredYourOwnQuestion humans would pay next to nothing to be healed with magic]], and she's last seen healing an injury while Luz mans the phone saying appointments with Viney are booked for the next month. |
| 402 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/x42900/just_use_illusion_magic_next_time/ "...Just Use Illusion Magic Next Time"]] spells this out, as Clover is forced to stay at home with Willow while everyone else takes their palismen to the park, as Luz knows a bee the size of a bowling ball will draw more attention than the other ordinary-looking palismen. |
| 403 | ** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1aviama/skara_x_viney_one_shot/ Skara's father]] runs a business that makes musical instruments, but they hunt down griffins for their hair for strings. Viney, being the owner of a griffin herself, suggests that they could simply harvest griffin hair from their hairballs instead. Not only does a harp Skara uses with the hair of one of Puddles' hairballs feel and sound better, Viney offers to collect griffin hairballs for Skara's father, saving him a lot of money on resources for hunting griffins. |
| 404 | * 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.]] |
| 405 | * StockMoneyBag: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/16ybffj/goods/ One with the currency symbol for snails appears]], Amity using it to pay Eda for photos of [[spoiler:Luz in her Titan form.]] |
| 406 | * StoryArc: Most of Mark's comics are self-contained, but there are also stories that span multiple entries. |
| 407 | ** "Grom Factor": Grom season rolls around for [[FanCreatedOffspring Ayzee and Milan]], and while Ayzee recklessly volunteers to be Grom Queen [[IJustWantToBeSpecial in an attempt to break away from her parents' shadow]], Milan does some research and learns the truth behind Grometheus the Fear Bringer. |
| 408 | ** "[[Webcomic/ALittleHintOfBlue A Little Hint of Blue]]": After a little misunderstanding involving a kraken-summoning water balloon, Skara and Viney become friends, with the hint of there being more than just a little spark between the two. |
| 409 | ** "The Hexsquad": When Gus is kidnapped by some of Emperor Belos' former servants, the Hexsquad, with the help of former Golden Guard Bob, band together to save their friend. |
| 410 | ** "Fight Coven": As Ayzee learns more about hand-to-hand combat while taking part in Mama Eda's "Fight Coven", she gains the attention of a mysterious group of people. |
| 411 | ** Parodied in one comic, where Mark only draws the end of a ''25-part'' story, "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/18xk1qg/murder_on_the_anterior_express_25/ Murder on the Anterior Express]]" |
| 412 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: |
| 413 | ** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/15a6nq0/not_her_day/ Luz as an adult]] is shown to highly resemble Camila, wearing a pair of square framed glasses and having much curlier hair with a grey streak in the same location Camila gained one in Season 3. |
| 414 | ** All but one of the FanCreatedOffspring (Ayzee, Pandora, and Jay) highly resemble their parents, Ayzee and Pandora taking after Luz and Willow respectively, while Jay is the near-spitting image of Boscha. {{Justified|Trope}} in Jay's case as Jay is a Grimwalker, meaning she is a clone of Boscha rather than her natural born offspring. The Collector even calls Ayzee and Pandora "[[SelfDeprecation lazy designs]]". |
| 415 | --->'''Ayzee:''' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/18gmhxi/yeah/ We... don't look that much like our parents, do we?]]\ |
| 416 | '''Milan:''' Um...\ |
| 417 | '''Jay:''' Yup, basically carbon copies. [[HypocriticalHumor Sucks to be you two]]. |
| 418 | * 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." |
| 419 | * SuddenAnatomy: Since ">:3", some comics have Stringbean grow an arm to make hand gestures. In "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/13zdrkt/shhh/ Shhh]]", she mimics Hunter's forelock while mocking him. |
| 420 | * SuddenGameInterface: Invoked and downplayed. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/158bi2z/cool_uncle_gus/ Gus gifts Ayzee]] an enchanted stone that gives her an illusionary RPG HUD while wearing it. |
| 421 | * 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. |
| 422 | * 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. |
| 423 | * 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. |
| 424 | * 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. |
| 425 | * SuperScream: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rwoj2u/end_on_a_high_note/ Trapped and at the mercy of Kikimora's Abomatons]], Luz exploits King's sonic scream by ripping fur off his back with abomination goo so he'll yell louder, blowing Kiki away. |
| 426 | -->'''Luz:''' (''bandaging King up as he glares at her'') Well, on the plus side...we did escape! |
| 427 | * 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]]. |
| 428 | * SureLetsGoWithThat: |
| 429 | ** 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. |
| 430 | ** The [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/135m2fi/lets_go_with_that/ title]] of one comic, where Willow asks her parents about what her feelings for Hunter mean, and they tell her that it's "advanced friendship," which they had before they started dating. |
| 431 | * 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''. |
| 432 | * 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 she and Luz did in the Human Realm. |
| 433 | -->'''Boscha:''' What? Me? Being hot on you? HA! You are not '''that''' attractive! Pfft, get over yourself, please. |
| 434 | * 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. |
| 435 | * TheSocialDarwinist: As it turns out, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/195om2b/jay/ this is the reason Boscha tried to pit Jay against Pandora]]. She saw that Pandora was a powerful witch, and thought that Jay competing with her would make her strong. |
| 436 | * 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. |
| 437 | * 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 [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises visibly shocked]], Hunter giving thumbs up, and Willow taking a picture. |
| 438 | * SwissArmyAppendage: Eda's hook hand she has in the epilogue is depicted as this, "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/136lc3u/morning_lecture/ Morning Lecture]]" having her remove the hook attachment and attaching a pointer stick for the purposes of her lecture. |
| 439 | [[/folder]] |
| 440 | [[folder:T]] |
| 441 | * 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. |
| 442 | -->'''Raven Palisman:''' Caaaw (You smashed me into a wall.) Caaaw (When the Palisman Revolution comes, you'll be the first to die.)\ |
| 443 | '''Eda:''' What did he say?\ |
| 444 | '''Lilith:''' Ummm- He said he's hungry! |
| 445 | * TakeThat: |
| 446 | ** [[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. |
| 447 | ** 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. |
| 448 | *** 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]] |
| 449 | ** 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. |
| 450 | ** [[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. |
| 451 | ** [[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. |
| 452 | * 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. |
| 453 | * 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. |
| 454 | * 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. |
| 455 | * TearsOfJoy: |
| 456 | ** Camila starts to have these after [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/123npzf/its_the_thought_that_counts/ Vee gets her to sign her adoption papers]], and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/14op0wz/birthday/ when she overhears Vee calling her "Mom"]]. |
| 457 | ** [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/721288606490263552 Hunter looks ready to have them]] after hearing Luz call him her "annoying brother" ([[SkewedPriorities he's more focused on the second part]].) |
| 458 | ** In [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/679432788898955264 one comic]], we get a montage of Amity asking Luz several questions about what the Human Realm is like. At the end of the strip, she reveals it's because she intends to live there with Luz, leaving Luz touched by the decision. |
| 459 | ** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vesh3o/to_the_gym/ Willow]] gets these after seeing all the equipment at the local Gravesfield gym |
| 460 | * TheTease: ''Vee'' of all beings has such a moment. [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z4e25n/shapeshifter/ When]] Masha states their envy that shapeshifters switch between good-looking faces, Vee takes their form, leaving them internally panicking. |
| 461 | * TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: Deconstructed with Vee at several points. |
| 462 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rh0ogw/outfits/ She asks Camila to put a pride pin she bought on her]], leading to her screaming in pain. |
| 463 | --->'''Vee:''' I totally forgot that my outfit is part of my skin.\ |
| 464 | '''Camila:''' I have failed you as a mother figure. |
| 465 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ztgann/dress/ Masha makes her a dress]], which she ends up ripping after shifting back to her true form while wearing it. |
| 466 | ** Since the clothes are actually part of her body, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1819rc4/practicability/ they don't provide any protection from the cold]] or [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1b9olii/piggyback/ keep her feet from being injured]]. |
| 467 | * 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. |
| 468 | * 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.]] |
| 469 | * ThatCameOutWrong: |
| 470 | ** 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. |
| 471 | ** [[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. |
| 472 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/14sa35f/nickname/ When Vee and Masha are hanging out]], Masha decides to give Vee the nickname "Vivi". Overjoyed, Vee tries to return the gesture by calling Masha "Mama". One awkward moment later, both decide not to use any nicknames. |
| 473 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/172zuis/he_meant_well/ After the Hexsquad meet Vee,]] she expresses confusion about why they're not afraid of her, leading to Amity saying they're friends. In giving examples of how the witches are just as dangerous as a basilisk, Hunter mentions that just because he's trained to slit peoples' throats in their sleep doesn't mean he will; this puts Vee at ease, but Amity warns Gus to sleep with his eyes open. |
| 474 | * 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. |
| 475 | * 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.]] |
| 476 | * 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. |
| 477 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: |
| 478 | ** 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. |
| 479 | ** 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. |
| 480 | ** Masha and Vee are [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1ahwpvx/bear/ taking a walk in the forest]] when Masha suddenly notices that Vee is gone and there's a bear standing next to them. Assuming that Vee is messing with them by shapeshifting, they playfully poke it on the nose. It's only after that point that they see Vee is actually several feet behind them taking pictures of a squirrel and the bear they just poked is both very real and very annoyed. |
| 481 | --->'''Masha:''' Huh. |
| 482 | * 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. |
| 483 | * ThrowTheDogABone: |
| 484 | ** [[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. |
| 485 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/13orqcb/note/ When]] a little girl at a restaurant hears her parents openly insult Luz (who's in the opposite booth with Amity) because she taught Belos the light glyph, she sneaks Luz a thank you note calling her a hero for saving the Isles from that monster. |
| 486 | * 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.]] |
| 487 | * 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 Pandora admire the tree. |
| 488 | * TitleDrop: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/11suz7h/title_drop/ This appropriately named comic]] features three instances for Season 3. |
| 489 | ** When Luz asks how they knew where the Titan Blood was, Amity explains that Masha helped them figure out the rebus. |
| 490 | --->'''Amity:''' It's all- (Thanks to Them title card appears) |
| 491 | ** After dealing with Kikimora, Luz gives a speech about saving the Boiling Isles. |
| 492 | --->'''Luz:''' Let's save the Isles from the Collector, and create a better world- (For the Future title card appears) |
| 493 | ** After the Collector's [[AntiClimax surprisingly easy]] HeelFaceTurn, Amity finds Luz staring at her. Luz is imagining their wedding day and smiling goofily. |
| 494 | --->'''Amity:''' ...Why are you looking at me like that?\ |
| 495 | '''Luz:''' Oh, don't mind me. I'm just- (Watching and Dreaming title card appears) |
| 496 | * 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]]. |
| 497 | * 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. |
| 498 | * TooDumbToLive: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/rub036/twister/ Eda and Lilith decide to play a game of Twister]]... with ''glyphs'' in place of the regular colored spots. |
| 499 | * TookTheWifesName: Jay refers to Willow as "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/195om2b/jay/ Mrs Park]]" at one point, confirming that Hunter took her surname upon marriage. |
| 500 | * TorchesAndPitchforks: PlayedForLaughs when [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/194vq14/he_who_cried_witch/ Caleb tries to convince a mob that Evelyn is a witch]], with one of them questioning why another brought a torch along when it's the middle of the day. |
| 501 | * 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. |
| 502 | * 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. |
| 503 | * 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. |
| 504 | * 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. |
| 505 | * 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. |
| 506 | * TrulySingleParent: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/15iwgaj/hideout/ Boscha's daughter Jay]] is eventually revealed to be a Grimwalker. Upon learning this, Willow comments that it explains why they never saw her with another parent despite having known Boscha since childood. |
| 507 | * {{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 |
| 508 | -->'''Beta Luz:''' (while writing down things that Beta Amity says that she doesn't want to do) Uh-huh. Dessert?\ |
| 509 | '''Beta Amity:''' ({{beat}}) I absolutely hate strawberry smoothie. |
| 510 | [[/folder]] |
| 511 | [[folder:U-Y]] |
| 512 | * 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]]. |
| 513 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: |
| 514 | ** 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]]. |
| 515 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/14axm58/show_off/ The captain of a Flyer Derby team]] the Emerald Entrails have to face mocks Hunter once they see him arrive in his carving uniform. It takes one FlashStep and Hunter stealing his flag to see him mistake. |
| 516 | * UniformityException: "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/13aohdt/spending_time_with_their_palismans/ Spending Time with Their Palismans]]" has the Hexsquad relaxing with their Palismans in ways one would normally with a pet, with Hunter and Waffle napping in the shade, Willow and Clover looking at plants, Gus and Emmiline sharing a bike ride while being yelled at by Boscha and Maya for speeding right past them, and Amity and Ghost playing with an abomination cat toy. Luz and Stringbean however are sitting together, serious looks on their face as they drink tea while watching and critiquing ''[[ShowWithinAShow Monster Slayer Academia]]''. |
| 517 | * VoiceChangeling: Invoked. Vee [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/726996255623036929#notes points out to Stringbean]] that since shapeshifters change their bodies, this would logically include their vocal cords. An excited Stringbean flies to Camila and says "I luv you." to her face, in which she responds and prompts a DoubleTake soon after. |
| 518 | * WackyMarriageProposal: |
| 519 | ** 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. |
| 520 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/12kq799/passing_the_torch/ "Passing the Torch"]] has Hunter get nervous about proposing to Willow, so Waffle pulls on his forelock and he falls flat on his face holding out the ring box. |
| 521 | * WallPinOfLove: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/tynzx3/messing_with_boscha/ Done by Amity to Luz as part of their scheme to mess Boscha.]] |
| 522 | * 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. |
| 523 | * 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.]] |
| 524 | * 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. |
| 525 | * 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. |
| 526 | * 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]]. |
| 527 | * WeWantOurJerkBack: |
| 528 | ** 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]]. |
| 529 | ** [[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. |
| 530 | * WhamLine: |
| 531 | ** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/16yspch/grom_factor_8/ After Milan feeds the Echo Mouse]] the remainder of Philip's diary, Grometheus the Fear Bringer is revealed to be a cursed Witch, ''and'' the source of Belos' monster form. |
| 532 | ** Milan finally gets close enough to Grom to use the petrification glyph, only to put it away and reveal that [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/182sprc/grom_factor_22/ she has an entirely different plan]]. |
| 533 | -->'''Milan:''' You have suffered long enough. It's our turn to make things right. [[EmpathicHealer With this spell declared, let the pain be shared.]] |
| 534 | * WhamShot: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/185wos5/grom_factor_23/ When Enna is telling the story of]] [[spoiler:how she became Grom]], she's shown holding what is clearly an Archivist curse scroll like the one the Owl Beast was sealed in. |
| 535 | * WhatDidIDoLastNight: [[https://moringmark.tumblr.com/post/726362040668749824 Eda]] asks this exact question as she wakes up one morning, after trampling on Jacob Hopkins' car as the Owl Beast. |
| 536 | * WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Of a sort, as Gus cannot figure out how Luz sleeping is adorable to Amity, chalking it purely up to love. |
| 537 | * 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. |
| 538 | * 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". |
| 539 | ** [[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. |
| 540 | ** "[[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. |
| 541 | ** PlayedForLaughs with "[[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/132tn2w/he_missed/ He Missed]]", where Luz uses Stringbean so she and the Collector ''dodge'' Belos' attack rather than use herself as a HumanShield, the attack going off and striking ''Tiny Nose''. [[spoiler:This causes ''her'' to meet and gain the power of the Titan instead of Luz, the Titan giving it to her since she was better than nothing. Luz, Eda, King, and the Collector all look bemused when Titan form Tiny Nose shows up demanding to face Belos, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere while Belos tries to sneak off]].]] |
| 542 | * 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. |
| 543 | * 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. |
| 544 | * 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. |
| 545 | -->'''Hunter:''' Remind me why I am siding with you people again?\ |
| 546 | '''Amity:''' Focus. |
| 547 | * 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. |
| 548 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: ''Amity'' becomes one in the events of [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/vxbxd0/new_game/ "New Game"]]. PointOfDivergence 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. |
| 549 | * WorthIt: |
| 550 | ** [[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. |
| 551 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/18c4k3c/worth_it/ This comic]] [[TitleDrop is titled as such]]. Eda refuses to spend 200 snails for admission at a flyer derby game and ropes Lilith into making a scrying potion to watch the match for free. Eda declares it a win against capitalism, [[SubvertedTrope but]] Lilith doesn't as the potion's ingredients were worth ''500 snails'' in total. |
| 552 | * WritersCannotDoMath: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/1awcpaz/well_that_explains_ayzees_freckles/ One comic]] reveals that one of Ayzee's great great grandmothers was [[spoiler:Amelia Earhart]], making her more than half human. Except, her DNA test lists her as being 62.5% human (which is what it would be if she was her great grandmother) rather than 56.25%. |
| 553 | * WrittenInAbsence: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/yu2gb9/what_did_i_miss/ This comic]] shows where Owlbert had been during "King's Tide". |
| 554 | * WrongGenreSavvy: Belos in [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/ycc0jw/shes_finemostly/ one comic]] tries to do the "possessing someone to traumatize their loved one" trick against Luz and her friends. It doesn't work because the victim he chose to possess was ''[[AbusiveParents Odalia]]''. |
| 555 | * WTHCostumingDepartment: |
| 556 | ** [[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. |
| 557 | ** [[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. |
| 558 | * YankTheDogsChain: [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/uose7g/abomatons/ To hinder the Abomatons]], Amity asks her parents to make them less user-friendly. Sure enough when Luz and Amity next encounter Kikimora, her Abomaton has numerous problems that keep it from listening to her until it just shuts down for a system update, leaving her at the girls' mercy. |
| 559 | * YouAreGrounded: |
| 560 | ** [[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. |
| 561 | ** [[https://reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/z04tol/leaf_pile/ In this strip]] Hunter's failure to perform a JumpScare on Luz due to her potential messing with him leads to Camila grounding both of them. |
| 562 | * YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Let's just say that Viney is not pleased 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.]] |
| 563 | * 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. |
