OOOOH That’s Honestly Such A Fun Question To Ask !  I Love Wondering About This Kind Of Thing With

SOO much to process rn but omg Gus saw Belo’s memories of Wittebro!!!

A quick meme for the road before going to sleep like a good little french medicine student (it's a lie)

Yes I put this together in 15 min just for you all, be nice to me pls I'm fluffy and scared of confrontation

it's my meme and I get to throw shades at those who refuse Qrow's bi-disaster vibes

in honor of that fanart I saw making fun of Ozma's fashion choices and how there's no way this guy was just straight

sun is just a himbo and I love him

cinder can be very competent or straight-up feral stupid

ozpin is trying very hard but we all know our wizard is a dumbass deep down

marrow "please assume I know what I'm doing" amin

mercury is giving you a side glance bc he can't believe you thought he had any kind of standards

blake "she has 2 hands" belladonna (you are not immune to my subtle sunny bees propaganda)

nora. just. nora

I made some renders for the sake of my memes so I'm posting them here in case anyone else can make use of it :D

SO In light of recent episodes I think you might have a point OP really

So congratulations on that & also on collecting this proof when you are yourself not even convinced by Darius's nice guy act.

AND IF I MAY ADD UPON IT, considering now that it is VERY likely Darius is working with Raine based on this cute little abomination (particularly with the little bun at the top. Darius is so extra in how he molds his abominations, I love it)

I THUS went back to Eda's Requiem to check for a few things

Raine wasn't restrained BUT we've just learned that they can do some bard magic simply by whistling : meaning, as long as their mouth is free. So do we hear some whistling when they escape ? ANSWER : apparently no. HOWEVER this made me notice a few other things & pay closer attention.

We see that Darius & Eberwold overall get along well. I think some people were of the complete opposite opinion but I don't really get that ? They just have the vibe of "ugh i can't believe i hang out with you" which is still very much some kind of friendship, especially considering Darius' overall personnality. They hang out together even when there is no need (ie. Any Sport in a Storm)

CONSIDERING THIS : would or could Eberwolf be in on this whole "rebellion" thing ? Here are some points :

Eberwolf turning higher the sound of their Scroll. For a first time watching, it makes perfect sense as simply them annoying Darius, who also plays into this idea. HOWEVER, the scroll after that is very loud honestly. So loud that it could easily mask... say a whistling sound ? Or even just some noise of goop moving around as Raine struggles to free itself ? Of course, it isn't enough to completely mask it, and Eberwold wouldn't have to hide from Darius if they are both in this rebellion thing together. IT COULD however be a good argument in the "plausible deniability" case, if Raine had indeed managed to escape for why Darius & Eberwold didn't hear them as soon as they tried. I think it's a possibility worth considering

Now this alone isn't what made me consider the idea, but rather Eberwolf's face when it seems that Raine has escaped. They seem... utterly unbothered or even maybe a tad... satisfied ? It's hard to tell because their character emotes differently from others, I don't know if Eberwolf does show strong emotions (haven't seen enough of him). But still... it's peculiar.

Darius as well, seems surprised at the sound but only that. Neither of them seem to be in a hurry to catch up to Raine either. And even resent Kikimora's involvement.

Conclusion : I'm super excited to learn more ! Things keep getting better & more enjoyable for fans who wonder, dig a bit & ask themselves questions and that is SO. COOL.

Okay look, I don’t trust Darius

and I don’t necessarily buy his nice-guy act at the end of ASiaS, but.

Assuming that

a) he’s being genuine, and

b) some of y’all’s predictions about him defecting later in the season are right,

I do just want to point something out from the end of Eda’s Requiem.

(ID: Screenshot from The Owl House, Eda’s Requiem. Raine Whispers is hanging upside down, suspended in abomination goo, with their broken viola on the ground below them. /end ID)

So here’s Raine at the end of the episode, yeah? All nice and immobilized by Darius’ goop. Their hands are restrained, their viola is broken - best we can tell, they have no way to use magic at this moment, or to otherwise escape.

(ID: Screenshot from Eda’s Requiem. Darius glares up at Eberwolf, who is sitting on a bridge and watching Eda’s Penstagram stream. /end ID)

The scene shifts to Darius complaining about Eber loudly watching the Owl fam’s stream. While the camera is turned away from Raine, there’s a sudden splooshy noise and…

(ID: Screenshot from Eda’s Requiem. Raine runs through the forest after somehow breaking free of their restraints. /end ID)

… Raine has somehow, miraculously extricated themself from what seemed like very secure bonds, and is now running away.

They are then, of course, immediately recaptured by Kikimora, but Darius at least complains about her presence, insisting he and Eber ‘didn’t need help’.

In summary, I’m not saying that Darius 100% tried to let Raine escape after they were captured - but, I’m also not 100% saying he didn’t.

Nora : In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Ren : Wasn't Jaune with you ?

Jaune : In my defense, I was also left unsupervised

Mercury: Sorry people are being weird to you about liking murder. What’s your favourite murder fact?

Cinder: When you kill people they die.

Cinder: Unless they’re Ruby Rose! Then you go “Ruby, I thought the void ate you!” and she’s like “shut the fuck up something something power of friendship.”

(remake)

Salem gifset from the Lost Fable for the fans Sorry for the gif noise I don't know much about gif-making

Luz remembered what the collector said differently.

In "Edge of the World" she recalled it being "let's slash and rend and crush and bruise, let's curse the land in nine bright hues". In "Hollow Mind", it was "we'll play together me and you, when we paint the land in nine bright hues".

This also happened in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" where she remembered her mom telling her to never go back to the boiling isles but in "Yesterday's Lie" she actually told Luz to promise her to stay home and that she'll swear things will be different.

It's no surprise that she remembered those two events differently since they were both pretty emotional moments and plus human memory isn't perfect.

I know someone has said this before and that a lot of people figured it out but I thought it was still a cool detail.

Qrow becoming a father figure to Mercury is such an underrated scenario it hurts me. Besides Qrow's personal villain being Tyrian who is tormenting Mercury as we speak, their individual narratives, albeit on opposite sides of the war, complement each-other so well.

Qrow saw no value in his life because of his semblance bringing harm to those he loved so he isolated himself in addiction and pledged unconditional loyalty to someone who lied and (to an extent) used him. Mercury had his semblance taken away from him for being "weak", which led him to reduce his personal value to strength, latching onto anyone to whom his skillset as an assassin can be useful in exchange for safety.

At least an interaction over their self hatred leading them to unhealthily follow people who gave them value and purpose, even if treated as a means to an end.
