So I’ve been going through @boschlowtxt’s blog this past week because if I can’t get my Skarlow fix I may as well get my sapphic Willow fix, and she had this idea that I adored where since headscapes reflect personalities of Witches, Boscha’s is the opposite of Willow’s in that it’s a fire and lava filled hellscape with one small garden that represents the humanity Boscha keeps hidden from the world. Read that here, I just didn’t wanna reblog it cause it felt weird since I would be directly taking her Boschalow post and trying to make it Skarlow. But still wanted to give her credit.

Anyway, Skara’s mindscape is actually a giant carnival. She’s loved them since she was in the Baby Class, so she now has one she can visit whenever she wants! It’s filled with a bunch of rides and games, each one based on key memories from Skara’s life. The Test of Strength for when she met Boscha, the Cricket Carousel for when she got her Palisman, the Spinning Flowers ride for when she first asked out Willow. Stuff like that.

But Inner Skara often stays inside the Hall of Mirrors. It’s not one specific memory, but actually the representation of her fractured sense of self. All the different people she’s been throughout her life: Boscha’s best friend, a lowly bully, a team strategist, Willow’s girlfriend. All of Skara’s bits and pieces can be seen here, each in their own mirror, Even though they seem to talk to her independently, Inner Skara knows that they’re all just reflections of her. Whether they’re the fun, cute, and awesome parts she wants to embrace, or the parts Skara wants to push away, she knows, deep down, that they’re all her. Warts and all, the Hall of Mirrors is the manifestation of Skara facing herself. She just hopes one day she can face all the worst parts and forgive herself for the Witch she used to be.

Apologies, December turned out to be busier then I intended. I wasn’t able to answer many questions (though I was able to finish the Skarlow Advent Calendar on time on AO3). I will try to do some as I can soon.

In the meantime, great news! I’m now a part of @theowlhousefanzine! It’s filled with awesome TOH fans and I’m planning out an awesome story for it! I can’t wait for you all to see it! Follow their Tumblr and other social medias for updates!

A commission done for @desmondkane-of-ao3-fame for Hadestown AU of the Skarlow ship from The Owl House, with credit to @MoonDreewed for their character designs. Thanks for commissioning me!

Even more beautiful then I could have imagined! I hope you all enjoy! The artist was incredibly professional and if you’d like to commission them I highly recommend.

Inside Job didn’t just get canceled.

It had its first season split in two, a tactic animators said was used for Cuphead to let them pay staff less. Then, the show was renewed for a real second season.

And then the show was canceled before that second season anyway.

Final Space didn’t just get canceled on the most depressing cliffhanger ever. It was removed from all platforms before becoming a tax write-off, essentially meaning the only ways of really watching the show is through DVD or pirating.

The Owl House wasn’t just given a shortened third season. Disney, a company already known for a, let’s say, complicated relationship with its LGBT+ history, took a show created by a bisexual woman, filled with beloved LGBT+ characters, some of which were teenagers just like the audience, and told said creator to destroy her shows pacing so she could finish her story in just 3 45 minute specials.
