The way. The way the show confirms that Camila was just like Luz, an incredibly eager, awkward young girl who didn’t fit in and had a book hyperfixation.

She defends animals that people look down on, in that sort of technical, UM ACTUALLY way of a kid who is both offended but also has a point that these animals don’t deserve to be an insult either??? Camila talks so much like Luz at times, loudly giving people a piece of her mind and acting overly dramatic in lying.

The way the show confirms that she got the joy and spark crushed out of her as a kid, and the tragedy of Camila realizing that what ‘fixed’ her was wrong and it’s wrong to apply it to Luz and vice-versa, realizing she WAS hurt and the generational trauma of it all. Camila realizes she’s so much more like Luz than she remembered, and hopefully Luz realizes too!!! That her mom GETS IT and she can tell her about it! And she was also wandering from place to place... Camila only did this because she was afraid of Luz suffering like she did and had her own trauma weaponized against her.

I think once she goes back to pick up Vee, I think it makes sense for Camila to consider staying full time in the Demon Realm, find that place for herself as much as for Luz? God. Camila always DID understand, she just thought she ‘got through it’. Luz was always like Camila and not just Manny. And Manny helped and encouraged that part of them both, with his cosplays and giving Luz the book, he recognized how much his daughter was like his wife. I can’t.

TOH Coven Headcanons

Plant: Plant witches are much like they’re chosen discipline, patient, sturdy, when knocked back down they come back up again season after season.

Just like plants, they have a variety of jobs as herbalists in tandem with the Healing Coven, chefs with the Potion Coven, and coming up with natural weapons and defenses in the jungle of the Boiling Isle. Plus contributing knowledge of the fauna and new discoveries.

They are one of the foremost experts of poisons, love perfumes, etc. and so there is a black market for their expertise as well as a black market for rare and exotic plants though there are societies that are working to keep those plants for science and research.

Illusions: Illusionists are very sociable, like to be in front of a crowd, many are entertainers or work with special effects and such on crystal ball with the Bard Coven. Some have joined companies in making virtual reality games. They also make the best parties/clubs that are like a masquerade/moulin rogue/funhouse/great Gatsby combo.

Though they do gripe about being looked down on as all style and no substance, they do tend to lean to being overly concerned with the appearance/aesthetic of something and forget about the function

Make great con people, what with the whole deception. Big fan of false fronts, and distracting with the right hand while using the left.

There are some forbidden spells like ones that are pre-cursor to the Grom monster and hallucinatory/insanity spells available on the black market. Belos has a supply of his own illusionists to use these in the conformatorium on any dissidents so when he releases them, their accusations against Belos’ civilized orders will be dismissed as crazy talk.

Bard: Bard are the creative backbone working with the Construction and Illusion Covens in filling galleries with art, clothes, and entertainment. And as Raine demonstrated, they bring protest art.

Bards are talented, creative, ambitious, introverted (some), outgoing (some), mad geniuses (debatable), and sometimes all in their heads. But most of all dedicated to whatever craft they choose.

Since they are sometimes just dismissed as artists, they can sneak in anti Belos themes, and motifs into their work and make witches think about the regime they are living in. However, Belos also employs his own bards to spread pro Coven and pro Belos propaganda.

Bards not only can bewitch the audience with their music, but in battle, can disorient them, and deafen them (much as Raine did) and as a classic, cause uncontrollable dancing.

Beast keeper: Beast keeping witches are compassionate, fierce, empathetic, and at times, feral, when some of them get tired of the oppressed society they live in and retreat with their animals in the wild without human interaction for miles.

Just like the plant Coven, beast-keepers scour the Boiling Isle to study and collect knowledge of beasts in their natural habitats as well as bring them back to tame.

Not only do the beast keepers make pet shops and zoos, they also work on the Boiling Isle as defense against rogue beasts that sometimes venture from the wild into towns.

It goes without saying that there is a mythical animal black market among the upper classes that a dedicated group against beast abuse is trying to curb.

Beast keepers also help train palismen and as conservationists since the increasing population build new houses verging on animal habitats.

Healing: Healers tend to be homebodies, they’re compassionate to their patients but also no nonsense when they need to be in order to keep their infirmaries in line.

Though it goes without saying they’re are some that develop a god complex when there is the fate of witch’s life in their hands. And shadier ones will sometimes only help if their exorbitant fees are paid.

Not only do they run the hospitals, heal broken bones and such, but they also work as “mind healers” for trauma, PTSD and other mental illnesses in need of therapy.

The healer Coven also works with the Beastkeeping and Abomination Coven in creating aids for those with disabilities.

Potion: Potion witches are inventive, curious, quick to grasp complex formulas, have a mind for memorization and tend to be multi taskers.

Potions is one of the most diverse and most censored with guidelines to prevent performance enhancement and/or would infringe on someone else’s rights (illegal potions like love/mind control/death/increase energy/increase strength/etc.) Though the enforcement of those guidelines can be waived away with a well placed bribe.

Potions also tend to be a risky business since one needs wealthy backers to fund your experiments in new potions and you need willing participants for your potions or else one can drink them all themselves and hope the results aren’t fatal.

Potions work within almost every Coven from dyes/paint for Construction Coven, medicine for beastkeeping and healing, growth for plants and more.

Oracle: Oracles have a slight tendency to be control freaks, what with their ability to see the future and thus have expectation for how things should go. However, they also can be objective and open minded as they are more aware that the future is open to interpretation and change.

Their balls cannot only see the future but they can scry and see a witch’s current whereabouts and see bits into the past.

It goes without saying, master oracles can summon tremendous power to see the whole past coming from a witch’s possession. Or help control someone’s future but these spells are advance and require great amounts of energy and access to ancient texts.

With their abilities to see past, present and future, they make great stock estimates, judges, historians and have a booming business for the superstitious and overly cautious that want good luck charms to prevent dire fates.

They are also the owners of most of the casinos, cage match betting rings and lotteries.

Construction: Construction witches are disciplined, loyal, hard working, creative and not afraid of hard labor. They can work as house builders and sculptors/jewelry makers to erecting forts, defenses and participating in grudgy games and cage fights.

As Dana said they are sculptors and artists themselves so they can be seen working in tandem with the Bard Coven.

But with their ability to traverse difficult terrain and manipulate it, make them excellent adventurers and artifact finders. In fact, they and the Plant Coven often hold camps to teach witches how survive in the wild.

Construction also makes up a good bunch of Belos’ toughest guards alongside Abomination.

Abomination: Abomination witches are witches with iron wills who stand their ground as they bend and mold their creatures to obey their every whim. Like Darius and Alador, they are creative in thinking of new ideas to bring more potential out of their servants

It is one of the most profitable covens with plenty of opportunities as it acts as the industrial backbone of the Boiling Isle, providing countless servants, disability aids and weapons for battle.

Abominations take a great amount of energy from the witch as not only do they have to bring out this goo out of thin air at times, Abominations are slow and unable to think for themselves so the witch has to do both for it, and use more energy to make it bigger and do more complex orders.

the rats told him everything 🐀🐀🐀

bonus:

au where at some point before canon camilo notices abuela being mean to mirabel and is like oh you're mad mirabel didn't get a gift? *shape shifts* were both mirabel. im mirabel two now. good luck telling us apart.

the first week he adults are like haha very funny. the second week abuela is like stop this nonsense and use your gift properly to help people. camilo doubles down on his helping mirabel is helping people policy and mirabel starts answering to camilos name to help the subterfuge.

week three, camilo has explained to julietta, and operation "two giftless mirabels" has pepa start snapping back at alma because there's a fifty fifty chance that whichever kid her mom was just mean to was hers.

the other kids start noticing that camilo doesn't have to do chores with his powers because no one knows which one is camilo. this, they decide, isn't fair. camilo explains that he would be helping around town as mirabel, but no one is letting mirabel help because no powers. luisa and dolores think this is dumb, and isabela wants to see where this goes. they stage a mutiny. none of the madrigal younger generation will do magic chores now. they still help around town, but with things they are arguably not very good at.

”luisa can you pen the donkeys?"

"oh no, were on strike until mirabel has equal rights. I can send isabela to do it, though."

"dolores can you tell me how far out my husband is from town?"

dolores can both hear and guesstimate distance. she spends an hour and a half going to where said husband is and comes back to report how many steps that was/ how long it took her. "probably less now because I had to come back."

alma: julieta you cannot possibly approve.

julieta: they're broadening their horizons and standing up for their family

alma: ...who is cooking dinner, julieta.

*several loud crashes and the smell of smoke make it evident that agustine is currently running the kitchen*

julieta: my wonderful husband volunteered to give me a break for the evening

it doesn't take a full month for alma to throw up her hands and let the kids organize themselves if they're so determined to undermine her. it takes less than two weeks after that for camilo to start being camilo again

EXACTLY!!!!

the owl house is a kids show.

no, listen to me. i say this with so much joy and emotion.

it’s a kids show.

a black latina bisexual neurodivergent witch is the protagonist of a kids show, and canonically is the love interest to a lesbian witch.

this show handles serious topics with such care and phrases/portrays it in ways children can understand. abusive parents, chronic illness/disability awareness, family isn’t bound by blood, forgiveness, healing, second chances… i could go on and on.

kids are watching this.

kids are watching this and taking this stuff in. they are recognizing toxic patterns, they are learning that found family is just as important and real as blood family. they are seeing themselves in these characters. they are seeing people who may have two moms, or two dads. they are seeing a black protagonist. they are seeing a latina protagonist. they are seeing a bisexual protagonist. they are seeing a lesbian character in the main cast. they are seeing a black boy in the main cast. they see people like them be represented.

i am so, so, so, so fucking grateful for this show. i grew up with gravity falls, and that show taught me so much. imagine what more gravity falls could’ve done if it was made in today’s era.

i’m so glad that there are kids who can grow up with this show.

thank you, owl house.

I love how cute and bird like Eda looks in this scene. So precious 💖

Part 21!

Willow: Yeah my parents put me in the abomination track.

Hunter, immediately assuming that they did it as a form of punishment rather than a legitimate caring reason, accidentally projecting the “Luz not getting a staff” situation onto this one:  >:(
