Shows to watch during the Owl House Haitus!

We don’t know how long until season 2 of The Owl House premieres, but until then I know a lot of you guys need new shows to watch. So here are my suggestions!

*Disclaimer* I am only suggesting shows that I have watched. So there might be a few shows that I don’t suggest, purely because I haven’t seen them.

If you watched the show because you lacked proper LGBT representation as a child then try…

Steven Universe: This show has a wide array of LGBT characters and a complex story to boot. This show ends up having a lesbian wedding! Also multiple Non-binary characters! Plus it’s songs are straight bops.

Legend Of Korra: This show was one of the first instances of LGBT representation! While, compared to shows now, the representation is watered-down, it’s still a great show about a strong bisexual woman.

She-ra and the Princess of Power: This show has gotten some flack due to the POC representation ((As it should)) Though it is a kids show that made leaps and bounds when it comes to WLW representation in media. So while I can suggest this show, I also suggest that you do research on some of comments made by the creators.

If you heard Dana talk about Hieronymus Bosch and came running then try…

Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorprated: This show was fire! It wasn’t afraid to go dark on you, and it always had a good suspense too it. It was a unique twist on very well-known characters and diverted from the source material in all the right ways.

Welcome to Nightvale: This isn’t a cartoon, it’s a podcast, but I swear this thing is like if a Bosch painting came to life. It’s story is very sprinkled throughout the series so it’s good for a casual listen or an intense binge.

Over the Garden Wall: This thing is short but it’s so good! It’s just the right level of creepy. This thing doesn’t just play with the horror genre, it fricking juggles it and masters it. This show is honestly scarier than most horror movies, and yet they accomplish all this while keeping a PG rating.

Gravity Falls: Dana was originally on the crew for this show, and it makes sense. Both have similarities but Gravity Falls likes to keep it’s weird and strange as more of a constant background element, rather than in your face 24/7. Still, it’s a show that I don’t think any owl house fan would truly dislike.

If you came because you wanted to see a show where a girl got trapped in a unknown world then try…

Infinity Train: This show has people trapped on a magical train. This show is an expert at giving you -just- enough information. It gets to a point where, in the span of an hour, you get lost in the world with these characters.

Kipo Age of the Wonderbeast: This show is less magical and more sci-fi. It has a very unique take on the ‘lost in the magical world’ genre and all the characters are lovable. Also, the sound track for this show slaps, seriously I would watch this show just for the music alone.

Amphibia: This show’s plot moves at around the same pace as the Owl House, maybe even a bit slower. It’s an easy watch even though it’s very obvious that there is a bigger story a foot. Also it’s just straight up hilarious.

If you watched cause someone told you S2 might be toppling some governments then try…

Avatar The Last Airbender: This shows whole plot is getting a 12 year old boy to dismantle a 100 year old dictatorship so if that doesn’t get you interested then I don’t know what will.

Young Justice: While governments are never toppled, they are heavily critiqued. This show explores themes that aren’t typically explored in children’s shows, and honestly it’s a refreshing take on the superhero genre.

That’s all my suggestions. If you have any suggestions then don’t be an to add on.

Guys let’s be real. Remus Lupin was so not the mother hen of the marauders- that bitch would skip meals to study and refuse help after full moons and laugh at his friends when their pranks would backfire.

The real mother hen was James “Remus stop picking at that scar you’re going to make it bleed, Sirius you’re not too punk for breakfast sit down and eat your eggs, Peter as much as I approve of your chess skills you need to stop and do your Charms homework” Potter.

Imagine once Sirius runs away to live with the Potters, Sirius is doing something ridiculous and James and Mrs. Potter walk in at the same time, and scold him at the same time in the same tone of voice, and all the color just drains out of James’ face and he goes to his room and won’t come out for supper because he can still hear Sirius and Mrs. Potter roaring with laughter and he knows he’ll never live this down because oh god he’s become his mother.

can’t stop thinking about the cursed freaky friday dvd we got

Elaborate

so when freaky friday came out my family was OBSESSED like we rented it to the point where we decided to buy it but we couldn’t find a copy anywhere until we got one at a gas station on the edge of town. immediately we brought it home and turned it on. we couldn’t figure out how to turn the subtitles off but we loved it so much so we didn’t care. until a few minutes in. gradually the subtitles stopped matching the actual dialogue and at first it was like casual conversation that we didn’t think anything of then it started saying like “get in the car” and “they’ll never find you” and all this weird shit. we kept reading out of curiousity but then the sound cut out and it made a hissing noise. there was a deep voice that said “where’s bob” which is my dad who wasn’t home at the time so my mom hopped up and threw that fucker out

this didn’t stop our love so we bought another at walmart and didn’t have a problem

Iroh: People work their entire lives to find spirits and access the spirit world. It has taken years of dedication and study for me to reach the small part of it that I’m able to find.

Sokka, who accidentally steered a canoe to where the Avatar had been frozen for a century and then fell in love with the moon and also spent 24 hours in the spirit world that one time and was the only one who the hallucinations flat-out spoke to in the magical swamp: what, like it’s hard?

oh, oh, oh, but i liiiiike this — you know that theory about how, Zuko, Katara, and Toph are each crazy-powerful, especially given their respective ages (like, Katara and Toph are literally unparalleled in their field despite being so young, and sure - in terms of Brute Force - Zuko isnt as strong as Azula, but he is unquestionably the better bender of the two of them, not only in his ability to redirect lightning - an insanely difficult thing to do - but also just in his overall understanding of the element of fire) and that the three of them are their respective element’s chosen champion; their element’s answer to the fact that the Avatar was absent for 100 years. That each element is trying to fill the vacuum left by an absent-Avatar, and they each have picked one champion to fill that void, and those champions are our three here. That the three of them together make three-quarters of an Avatar. That the world was trying to create balance by gifting extraordinary abilities to three non-Avatars, who - if they worked together - could maybe bring the balance that the Avatar was supposed to. 

Well the couple of versions of that theory I’ve seen either don’t account for the Spirit element of the Avatar, or say that Iroh is the Spirit’s representation, which… works, I suppose, as he certainly has a great respect for and understanding of the spirits. But as OP says, he has to work very hard for any actual encounter with them. And it breaks pattern, because the others are all of a similar age to each other, whereas Iroh significantly older and also not a core member of the Gaang. 

But Sokka —– Sokka

Our boy Sokka just strolls into situations with Spirits on the regular. He finds himself tangled up in Spirit related bullshit all the time - which is hilarious, given how scientifically-minded he is and how disdainful he is towards “spirity nonsense,” and I confess I’ve always just seen it as that. Easy comic relief. Get the scientific guy tangled up in intangible, spirity shenanigans, how hilarious would that be. But what if it’s more than that? 

No one else has just…. falls into Spirit shenanigans the way Sokka does, or has encounters with Spirits the way Sokka does. Even Aang objectively has a harder time getting in touch with Spirits than Sokka (unwittingly) does, and not only is Aang the actual Avatar, but he’s a monk. They're known for their spiritual enlightenment. 

But Sokka just…… crashed straight into the Avatar’s ice-ball, and he not only fell in love with a girl who was part-Moon Spirit, but she fell in love with him too. Sokka was the one who spotted the Wan Shi Tong Library in the desert. You know - the literal domain of the Spirit of Knowledge. He’s the one who decided to go there, and then he just… found it. This library that’s so hard to find that many scholars believe it’s just a myth, he decided to find it and then he did. Just spotted it out in the desert. Just like that. 

Sokka got kidnapped by Hei Bai and just…. chilled out in the Spirit World for a day. The Spirit hallucinations talked to him in the swamp – the only one of the Gaang who was actually spoken to by them. I feel like there’s other occasions, too, of Spirity Bullshit befalling Sokka, but I can’t remember them off the top of my head. But none of the others have this many interactions with Spirits, and certainly not accidentally. Aang has to seek them out; they don’t really just happen to him, not the way they Just Happen to Sokka. 

So what if, what if, what if…. What if Sokka is the Spirits’ answer to the lack of an Avatar. What if Katara, Toph and Zuko represent their respective elements, and Sokka represents the Spirits. What if Sokka is the Gaang’s bridge to the Spirit World.

She won that season too!  She’s so cool and upbeat

Despite being cool.and upbeat (and she is) she also suffers from anxiety and recently started speaking about it in social media. Instagram posta detailing her inability to even go downstairs and how support her fam are etc. She also recently did a bbc documentary about anxiety disorders.

Nadiya is also a perfect example of why diversity in media is important. A government report on community cohesion said she’s done “more for British-Muslim relations than 10 years of government policy”, because her presence on TV has helped to humanize the image of the hijab-wearing Muslim woman in the eyes of the public.

She’s not even really a political activist or anything - she’s just a nice, honest, down-to-earth person. Sometimes that’s all it really takes to convince people.

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her
