I Do Be Drawin (WIP)

Watching and Dreaming (April 8th, 2023, Colorized)

Ohmygod. Guys. The name Marcy means “war”, right? Well her middle name, Regina, means “Queen”.

THIS GRIL WAS FUCKING BORN TO SIT ON THE DARK THRONE!!! ME AND MY FELLOW EVIL MARCY TRUTHISTS JUST GOT SO MUCH MORE VALID-

But it’s also fucking hilarious cuz like….

Behold: the War Queen

that's fair, I had always done a year

ur all good, I think it was like, 4am when I sent that ask

YJHGVKBHJNKM fair enough lol

I designed another The Owl House oc >:D

Kari has been a member of the emperor’s coven since they were 9 years old. They were initiated so early, not because of their magic, but due to their skill in hand to hand combat and other things such as sword fighting and spearmanship. The Emperor’s assistant (Kikimora) hand selected them to help the Golden Guard in training by being his sparring partner. It was easy at first but Kari eventually was little more than a punching bag as the Golden Guard learned to fight without his staff. They never spent time together outside of training or reporting and focused on excelling at their positions rather than socializing. Kari knows his name and face but is far too scared to tell anyone. They’re sure it’s kept secret for a reason and they aren’t one to question the Emperor’s will.

I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT THIS WAY now I’m even more upset about what they did with s3 Marcy g r r r r

I mean I sorta saw it that it way but I didn’t quite connect that she was brought down to the role of a lazy plot device…. Thanks for this insight tho!! Now I can be salty with more efficiency :D

Also ty for another reason to love evil Marcy AUs I guess LMAO

Cuz she’d be far too busy slaying to be a damsel in distress XD (unless you count pretending once tho 👀)

[ Warning: I start rambling my AU a bit here oops… Don’t have the heart to delete or shorten it tho lmaooo ]

But I must say: I LOVED Darcy!! The possession was a really good concept imo, just not executed well… Like give her some control and let The Core act as a kinda sidekick (even tho it’d just be using her, could take over at any time, and would probably betray her in a heartbeat…. just don’t let Marcy know that djdhsnfdjhsnd) as it convinced her to go APESHIT-

I just came to a horrible realization. Marcy in season three was a Damsel in Distress.

Seriously think about it: aside from the finale, her only purpose was to sit around and wait to be rescued. Yes it would have been necessary to a certain extent no matter what, with the whole "being stabbed" business, but then they had to go ahead with that idiotic possession subplot and make Darcy an endgame villain. Marcy's brief mental world subplot in All In didn't even give us one of those "fighting the illusion from inside your mind" plots: she just resigned herself to her fate and hoped her girls would save her.

There's a very good reason the Damsel in Distress has fallen out of favor in recent years. Aside from the underlying chauvinism, a Damsel in Distress usually isn't a character so much as a lazy plot device, a prize for the hero to win after they've slain the dragon or killed the evil wizard or whatever.

The only thing worse than creating a character whose sole purpose is to be a Damsel in Distress is making an established character into a Damsel in Distress. And they did it to Marcy: a deep, complex character who was used amazingly in season two. They introduced Marcy as a deliberate foil to Sasha, gave us several episodes to get to know and love her, then dropped that massive bombshell in True Colors.

And how did they follow up that absolutely brilliant storytelling? They made Marcy into a fucking Damsel in Distress, whose only purpose for 90% of season three was to sit around and wait to be rescued. And for some goddamn reason they had to wait until the penultimate episode to do so, leaving no time for Marcy to interact with her best friends or truly be involved in the story.

THEYYYYY

Ok but imagine: Hunter AND Luz doing the classic Golden Guard "BYEEEEEE" at the SAME TIME

Oh my god. OH my god. ohmygod.

Has this been done

I can not and will not stop with the worms

“Amusing. You wish to squirm?”

Cardinal

I found out some really cool symbolism and sayings behind cardinals and 100% I had to draw Hunter and his palisman once I did XD

So, in some cultures (such as Christianity) cardinals represent ancestors and loved ones who have passed. If one visits you, it’s a message or sign from them. There’s also some sayings like “When a cardinal appears in your yard, it's a visitor from heaven” and “cardinals appear when angels are near”. Disclaimer: I don’t believe this kind of stuff but it’s cool nonetheless XD

This could line up with my theory that Hunter is a clone of Phillip Wittebane’s brother, who also seemed to have a cardinal palisman. I wonder if Rascal will be able to lore drop to Hunter now that they can speak to him lol.
