Owl House Concept: Previous Golden Guards

OWL HOUSE AU: Hand Of Belos

An AU where instead of ending up in Eda’stall, Luz ended up in Belos’s throne room. How did that happen? Well, Eda had been out doing her thing when the Emperor's Coven came to arrest her. In the chaos, she dropped the Doorway, and it was taken to Belos. While Owlbert escaped the castle, Luz followed the owl pailsmen and straight into the throne room. Belos, knowing she could easily help him with his goals, began to manipulate the young girl, molding her into the Amethyst Guard.  

But all hope isn’t lost for Luz… You see, she has yet to meet Eda…

And that’s when Belos’s plan REALLY hits the fucking fan.

The story would be separated into three “phases:” Loyalty, Discovery, and Rebellion.

Also realize the plot lines below are NOT in episodic style. It's just an overview.

_______________________________________________________

PHASE 1 Plot:

Hunter and Luz would go on missions together, so they’d get pretty close, and they are pretty much siblings.

Luz wouldn’t have met Willow, Gus, or anyone from Hexside.

Luz would be given a staff with artificial magic like Hunter’s, but Luz’s has an added feature that allows her to turn invisible for temporary amounts of time.

Luz DOES meet Amity, but nearing the end of Phase 1. This is where she really gets an idea that Belos is not who he seems, since she gets to have a one-on-one conversation with Amity, who talks about joining the Coven but accidentally reveals that she doesn’t WANT to join the coven, and she felt like something was off with the Coven.

Lilith is Luz’s primary teacher, though Raine and Darius both have important places as mentors to her.

Belos’s only place in Luz’s life in the Boiling Isles is to feed her lies.

Eda is caught by the Emperor's Coven and Liltih, but isn’t forced into her owl beast form.

Luz has been having a hard time recently so she decides to confront Eda. And Eda explains her side of things. And Luz being Luz, well, she decides to free Eda in return for letting Luz join her, so she can REALLY experience the Boiling Isles. Eda agrees.

Eda and Luz’s experience in the Owl House is tense, but it's more of Luz trying to relearn everything Belos had lied to her about and try to ACTUALLY learn magic, which gets us the famous Owl Beast episode.

_______________________________________________________

PHASE 2 Plot:

Since only Belos knows what Luz looks like under the mask, Luz can go about the Boiling Isles with little worry of being recognized. 

Luz kept her staff and mask but kept the mask at home while the staff she has been heavily customized.

Eda keeps an eye on Luz, obviously, but isn’t as worried when she’s alone.

Luz is able to attend Hexside with not much worry, since she had already had a grasp on Magic.

Luz’s interactions with Willow and Gus are more awkward than usual, due to her already being quite familiar with the Boiling Isles, and due to her time with Belos, she’s now more inclined to correct when someone is wrong. So imagine how that goes with Gus?

Luz and Amity hang out a LOT more in the beginning, and since Luz first friends (like usual) ARE Willow and Gus, she’s able to get the Hexsquad together a lot faster. 

Amity actually suspects Luz of being the Amethyst Guard, Luz’s general way of speaking, especially when she’s stressed, are all too familiar to the guard she met in the Emperor's castle.

Luz actually stands up to Odelia, seeing the Blight mother as nothing more than a loyal pig to Belos. And well… It works pretty well. Alador even quits. Odelia is also forced to leave the manor so BONUS.

Belos constantly sends Hunter, Lilith, Darius, and Raine out to locate Luz, fearful of what she could reveal to the people. Darius and Raine take this as their key out of the Coven.

Luz by the end of Phase 2 has mastered glyphs and glyph combos, alongside mastering the use of her artificial magic staff. So when Belos sends a mass amount of Coven Guards to the Owl House, including Lilith and Hunter, Luz is there to defend the house. While she IS defeated, she was able to take out a large majority of the guards, including Hunter. 

Don’t worry, Alador and the Blight kids had decided to visit Eda that day and were able to help Luz fully defeated the attacking force. Though now Belos knows where Luz is and is determined to take her back, even if she is near death.

THIS WOULD BE KINDA A SEGWAY TO PHASE 3. Lilith would be seen talking to her parents and Steve, telling them the Coven was planning something big, and possibly not in the favor of witchkind. And that she AND Hunter needed to get out as soon as possible. It’s also here in Belos’s more angry state he reveals Hunter is “No more than a Grimwalker.” Which obviously traumatizes Hunter. 

_______________________________________________________

PHASE 3 Plot:

The beginning of this Phase is more of Luz making more connections with her friends. So Phase 3 is where our favorite gay beans actually begin to interact and fall for each other. 

Remember, Belos still has the Doorway, but he needs LUZ and the key in order to use it, AND he still needs to keep his power over the witches in order to pull off his plan. 

Darius and Raine (and Eber, I should say that) are able to make it to the Owl House, becoming honorary members of the family, and it becomes the main base for the C.A.T.S. 

Lilith is able to get Hunter out of the castle, making a desperate move when she sees how Belos treats Hunter (which, obviously, is very poor). 

Eventually, Lilith takes Hunter to Hexside and explains the situation to Principal Bump, who is all too happy to help, giving the duo a place to hide. 

Luz is able to get a new upgrade to her growing arsenal of abilities thanks to Alador and Darius, which is a pair of Abomination Tech gauntlets. 

The Emperor’s Coven kidnaps Gus and Willow to lure Luz to the castle. Which OBVIOUSLY Luz goes to confront Belos. Where she is once again captured and is forced to watch as Belos begins to drain Gus and Willow’s pailsemens of their life force.

WHILE THAT IS GOING ON: Eda, Raine, Darius, and Alador all decide to make a stand against the Emperor, which causes them to run out to call upon as many allies as possible. Which leads Eda to Hexside to talk to Principal Bump. There she discovered Hunter and Lilith recovering and helping students recover from a Coven attack. Of course after an understanding is reached, Lilith tells Eda all the ways they can defeat Belos. Hunter decides to join Eda, since he still views Luz as a sister. 

Back at the castle, a sudden commotion outside lures Belos away from draining the lifeforce. During his absence, Luz is able to escape her bounds and free Gus and Willow. After getting them to safety, Luz goes to have a final confrontation with Belos. Who reveals he’s actually a human and goes on his whole tangent about the evil of Witches. But Luz would know better and the two would face off. 

Belos would try to connect to the power of the Titan in order to sweep the fight, but Luz somehow got connected to the heart alongside Belos. So they BOTH ended up in the reality between time and space, AND meet Titan. And obvs Titan ain’t happy with Belos and after placing Belos in a little sphere, he’d have a heart to heart with Luz. Luz would then be disconnected from the Titan, though she would not leave empty handed.

Yeah there’d just be a scene of Belos getting his assed kicked by Titan.

After the fighting ceased and the evil of Belos was revealed, Luz would locate the Doorway and return home, but with Amity, Eda, and Raine by her side. They’d go meet with Mrs. Noceda, and tell her EVERYTHING that happened. 

FLASH FORWARD: Luz is now 19, dating Amity, and the Boiling Isles are flourishing. She’d help settle some things down after Belos, and had helped the Witches reintroduce themselves to the Human Realm, which actually went surprisingly well. Now she’s in college. SO yeah! Good ending!

Shockwave aint happy with @soundbluster-arts's Ratchet...

What If: Transformers were Star Wars Characters?

The BASIS I guess?: The Clone Army is massive, with hundreds of legions and units. But so do the Separatists. So secret legions are nothing new… but these two are definitely something else…

Because I am a silly boi.

Meet Withera! Withera is one dangerous Autobot. Her outlier ability allows her to create a shadow-like substance out of her face and do practically anything she wants. But she also is able to use her "wire-arms" to tangle up any foe and electrocute them. 

The most twisted part of her story? Before she was THIS... she was actually something far worse.

Yall can probably guess what inspired her XD

Emputara!Orion Pax AU

OKAY OKAY HERE ME OUT: What if Orion Pax was the one sent to the Institute and was forced to go under the Emputara Process? And Senator Shockwave was simply placed in prison? Here's what I think would have gone down: Megatron would learn of what happened and grow upset. At this time Orion and Megatron were friends. So Megatron would gather anyone he can. Some of the highlights would be Onslaught, Brawl, Ratchet, Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, Ironhide, Barricade, and Blaster. They would basically go full ballistic on the Institute and proceeds to raid the entire place, freeing Whirl in the process. They get to Orion, but it is too late, he had already gone under the process. So, in order to keep Orion MOSTLY himself, Soundwave hacks the system and is able to restore most of Orion's emotional processing, but in the end, he could fully revert the process. Orion can feel feelings but can't express them. And his body was heavily manipulated (Think Transformers Prime Shockwave with IDW Comics Optimus Prime). Megatron is so upset and fully opens up the idea of war. In the end many Cybertronians join him, and the war begins.

The two sides are the Autobots and the Decepticons. Megatron leads the Autobots, while the Cybertronian senate lead the Decepticons.

God you are so right about 40k and the T'au, I love my blue boys but they've been squandered so much it genuinely hurts lol. Makes me wanna make a fanon au of the setting instead ngl

So what's stopping you?

One of the things I loved seeing back in The Old Days Of Posting, was people coming up with AU settings of 40k. That kinda shit is fun, and it feels very in keeping with the spirit of Oldhammer, which is silly and ridiculous and fun.

Brighthammer 40k, the Dornian Heresy, The Shape of the Nightmare to Come... hell, I've seen people turn 40k into the stereotypical coffee shop AUs, and there was even that one time the /tg/ hivemind seemed to spontaneously create that Warhammer High thing. To say nothing of Love Can Bloom.

Now I don't know if I'm just old, or I just don't go to the right websites anymore because the internet has become 3 websites that we all hate due to capitalism, but I really wish people would do more fun shit like that again. Seems like all I see lately is dickheads arguing with each other going "No, you can't do that, it's not canon!"

If you want to make a fanon AU, go for it! It is literally impossible for anyone other than yourself to stop you!

But if you do, let me know, because I want to see it.

"Through the Energon Fires during the Autobot's first wave of attacks on Iacon, I saw a sight I never thought I'd see. Orion Pax and his manipulated body... standing in the middle of it all, just standing there. Staring deep into my spark... It made me wonder, was the Senate really telling the truth?" -Bulkhead.

Some context: When the war started in the Emputara!Orion Pax AU, the majority of the Autobots in the Autobot Resistance are mostly consisting of canon G1 and IDW Decepticons with a few exceptions (Ratchet and Ironhide, for example). But when the war began to kick into higher gear, we begin to see the Senate's Decepticons leaving the army to join the Autobots (Not a WHOLE bunch, just a noticable number). Why?

Because they SAW Orion Pax. They saw the true horror of how a respectable and loved officer of the law became an abomination of science. And they truly see what the Senate is willing to do to keep their power.

Here's the link to the original post about this AU Here’s the link to the Orion Pax Design

I had this thought today. These two are more similar than one would think. And thus, I think they'd get along pretty well. Taskmaster being more of the serious one while Ghost being a bit more of the reckless one.  And before people begin bashing on the MCU Taskmaster, well guess what? I love her and think she's fine. Y'all need to worry about Kang tbh.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell... I was bored and inspired to draw a Welcome Home AU... So here you go! Overlord!Wally is a very powerful entity that has absorbed the eldritch power (at least that's what I understand) of Home. Now he wanders the Welcome Home multiverse to cause trouble. Yeah... he's kinda not straight in the head anymore.

So uh yeah! Have this guy!
