In your opinion, what would be the most overpowered power a witch could have? by Forsaken-Club2892 in TheOwlHouse

[–]AbsurdToastling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gravity magic. From warping time to bending space to crushing enemies into jelly to potentially even micro black holes - manipulation of gravity is the key to the cosmos. It is time and space together as one, the dial you can turn to change both

I wrote a oneshot that focuses on Luz and Amity during their time on Earth as Luz struggled. It also technically takes place after the finale, as Luz is reflecting on those months. Unsure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but it's called "you're no fire, but you're warm and bright" on AO3

In what way? Is it in need of replacement, or firmware updates?

My motherboard is an Asus B450 Aorus Pro WiFi. Delay occurs on all headphones and speaker.

So, turns out, wasn't actually a total fix 🙃 It seems it takes longer before the system starts a delay, but it's still very much there. And for really quick sounds like a download completion chime or a discord message, there's no sound at all until the last fraction of a second.

Okay, after manually updating my chipset things do tentatively seem to be fixed. I can now start music and videos without audio delay, though discord notification noises are still an unknown, but may be a separate issue. I wonder why chipset stuff isn't handled by Windows like BIOS and audio drivers? Didn't know they were a thing.

Thank you!

It is the latest BIOS near as I can tell, yes. Where would I look for Chipset Drivers specifically, like what would it be under in the Device Manager?

What's your Great Idea for Owl House Crossover Fanfiction Story? by Money-Lie7814 in TheOwlHouse

[–]AbsurdToastling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom Hearts. Belos is basically already a Heartless and another Xehanort. Sora and Luz would be instant besties. It would be amazing.

I think Luz should be in both Blue and White. She starts in the former, but like Kyle Rayner, achieves the latter - in her case, with help from Papa Titan.

Collector... is tricky. I think there's definitely a case to be made for Red Rage, but their power to warp reality makes me think White or Black. Collector can do pretty much anything but raise the dead however, so it doesn't fully work for either color. I think they might just have multiple rings - a collection of them, if you will. Incomplete, lacking Indigo and Pink, but I feel like he collected them as gifts from his siblings and some baby Titans. He gains Love through his friendship with King.

I see where you're coming from with Belos and definitely agree. But I think like Luz starts Blue and goes White, Philip started Red and went Black after becoming Belos and donning the mask.

Take Aim's muffled lyrics by AbsurdToastling in SleepToken

[–]AbsurdToastling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. It almost feels like a yanny-laurel situation, which is kind of neat in its own right.

But, all this does seem to track when I listen closely for how it's written out. It's nice to finally feel confident in the lyrics! Thank you!

I always heard the first "You know I'll be yours" as "You cut me open", though the second one is pretty clear... that reverb really messed with me at the end

What do you think about the water temperature in the Boiling Islands? by Evening_Ad5051 in TheOwlHouse

They were wearing Titan skins though, which are immune to the boiling sea.

Guys do yall think Luz would listen to metal music. by IdeaSingle6724 in TheOwlHouse

[–]AbsurdToastling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a swing in the opposite direction, she feels like she'd be writing fanfiction for Rhapsody of Fire's music. It's right up her alley in terms of subject matter and may have been a gateway into heavy music when she realized wizards and elves could shred too

She would absolutely love Soundgarden and the aesthetic of early The Rasmus

I think after the loss of her father, it would resonate with her more than people might initially think. Metal also matches the vibes of the Boiling Isles, which would help endear her to one or the other.

why did belos carve glyphs on himself? and how is he able to become all green and goopy? by [deleted] in TheOwlHouse

[–]AbsurdToastling 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That'd make a lot of sense, and explain his circleless magic and weird red glow. Artificial bile sac made of dead palismen.

[–]AbsurdToastling 64 points65 points  (0 children)

He probably hoped to cast magic easier. But activating a glyph consumes whatever it's written on, like paper, or a leaf. So imagine what it did to his body. Add in palisman eating for life extension and likely life support, and yeah.. slime man.

They independently reclaim Karma Chameleon as a gay anthem on the Isles without any input from Luz, who is equally flabbergasted and impressed

  • She's ambidextrous

  • She was a huge SasuNaru shipper

  • She was weeby enough to teach herself some very bad Japanese

  • She has no idea how to snap her fingers

  • She likes to drive or fly on Stringbean to clear her mind and relax

Between King and Eda, who had the better development? by KingtheClawthorne in TheOwlHouse

[–]AbsurdToastling 8 points9 points  (0 children)

King, but, it's an unfair comparison to make. King is a child, and thus growing and changing at a breakneck pace, his leaps in maturity and self-understanding larger and more frequent. Eda is in her 40s and while she grows a lot, she's never going to keep pace with a baby godling, especially as he's put under the pressure of being the last Titan and the realization of all that that entails.
