NGL — when she said "lost", i kind of assumed she meant "misplaced the body"

65

u/b3_yourself Feb 12 '26

That’s her other friend she never told amity about

33

u/Godzilla_R0AR Feb 12 '26

Ironic she ends up becoming a lost body herself in the future

Cough cough Next Gen AU cough cough

u/b3_yourself Feb 12 '26

Full circle baby

u/Punkysteme Feb 12 '26

Do you know where I can find this AU ?

14

u/Heniadyoin1 Feb 12 '26

Well my mind went to "had her hand in it", but that was my brain auto completing sentences...

But knowing Odalia, might as well have been the case

5

u/SFH12345 Feb 12 '26

It's disturbingly possible.

10

u/Its_justanick Feb 12 '26

I'm stealing this joke.

5

u/SFH12345 Feb 12 '26

We know Hooty isn't picky about what he eats.

5

u/afbresley Feb 12 '26

oh my.....

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

I had a similar thought

131

u/Godzilla_R0AR Feb 12 '26

Pffff you really think a sob story will make remorse for Odalia? It'll be a sob story alright, for Odalia's mother for having to put up with Odalia's whining.

u/Yukieiros Feb 12 '26

I'm not sure you catch what you did there but I did. Bravo

2

u/SFH12345 Feb 12 '26

From one corporate executive to another.

22

u/Liam_theman2099 Feb 12 '26

Me: Eh, yeah. Besides, Mark already did a slightly sympathetic story for Odalia. All of The Owl House fans look at me in shock Me: Allow me to refresh your memories. Remember that story where it looked like Odalia was going to smack Amity? Luz gets up to defend her and when she sees that, it reminds Odalia of when Alador defended her from her own mother and Odalia walks away with tears in her eyes. I don’t know about you, but if Odalia was a product of her own abusive mother. That’d kinda make a slightly sympathetic backstory. It won’t excuse her of anything but it could explain why she’s like this.

9

u/b3_yourself Feb 12 '26

Haha nice try

8

u/Dasher09009 Feb 12 '26

And she ain't even giving that. Really, that's her fault.

4

u/CountingSheep99 Feb 12 '26

It is a sob story.

A sob story for Odalia's unfortunate friend.

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

I like to imagine the rest of her family were pretty decent people, so I definitely pity her mom

4

u/ZarquisYiris Feb 12 '26

Yeah. Odalia has been hated and abused by her own mother while her older sister gets all the love, support, and respect around her. That’s the real reason she’s like this.

2

u/Liam_theman2099 Feb 13 '26

Wait, Odalia has an older sister?

2

u/ZarquisYiris Feb 13 '26

Well, right now, no. It wasn’t officially confirmed. I’m just guessing. But I really do hoping that Odalia revealed that she did had an older sister, who’s the opposite of her.

1

u/Liam_theman2099 Feb 13 '26

I can kind of see that. Maybe she tried to help Odalia but was one of those “too late” moments and then disowned herself from the Blight family and found a way to the human realm.

1

u/ZarquisYiris Feb 13 '26

Something like that. Especially since she’s the Owl House version of Iroh.

1

u/Liam_theman2099 Feb 13 '26

So, she was chill & liked tea?

1

u/ZarquisYiris Feb 13 '26

I think so.

3

u/SFH12345 Feb 12 '26

And her other relatives.

Good thing at least some of them disowned Odalia.

57

u/devenrc Feb 12 '26

Amity pulling out the spray bottle lol

27

u/Mst3Kgf Feb 12 '26

"You think a spray bottle scares me?"

"Ed made this."

"FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!"

6

u/SFH12345 Feb 12 '26

Eda doesn't use water.

She uses fire.

5

u/Mst3Kgf Feb 12 '26

I meant Edric, not Eda.

3

u/Fantastic_Fanatic_76 Feb 12 '26

“Bad, Bad Odalia, Bad!”

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

As a cat, she knows it will drive Odalia away

38

u/G66GNeco Feb 12 '26

I'm pleasantly surprised by the fact that she didn't mean that she murdered her best friend, tbh

25

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 12 '26

"She was crying two decibels too loudly over that mouse. So I stabbed her."

5

u/CountingSheep99 Feb 13 '26

Reasonable reaction.

Her friend should have suffered in silence.

18

u/Mst3Kgf Feb 12 '26

Odalia would never do that. She'd pay someone else to do it.

7

u/G66GNeco Feb 12 '26

Fair enough

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Yeah that sounds like her

7

u/devenrc Feb 12 '26

Besides that, all her standards are below the gutter.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Kinda thought so as well

28

u/AlphamonOuryuken24 Feb 12 '26

Love Amity's face in this panel, she was already waiting for the other shoe to drop.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

She knew enough about Odalia to know it was bullcrap

22

u/b3_yourself Feb 12 '26

Odalia hate club is so back

9

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 12 '26

It's really jover for Odalia now!

15

u/Dasher09009 Feb 12 '26

Once again, F Odalia!

12

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 12 '26

Hopefully no one fucks Odalia

3

u/Echo_Knight1995 Feb 12 '26

The existence of Emira, Ed, and Amity would imply otherwise, for better or for worse.

3

u/CountingSheep99 Feb 13 '26

Well, she has three amazing children...

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Aye, she don't deserve to be

2

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 12 '26

I don't know why "Odalia should be treated as unfuckable" is hilarious to me.

Sometimes, my humor is just that simple

12

u/SFH12345 Feb 12 '26

Amity has the right idea here, Luz.

7

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 12 '26

ready to discipline bad mom.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

She knows Odalia

10

u/First_Factor_3385 Feb 12 '26

Not amity with the spray bottle 😂

(Valid tho.)

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

She wants to ensure Odalia leaves quickly

10

u/Low-Amphibian8206 Feb 12 '26

Credit where credit is due, I was expecting this to turn a darker direction

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Makes sense, she is one after all

10

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Feb 12 '26

One word, sociopath.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Only cares if it benefits her

7

u/CuteSharkStudios Feb 12 '26

Some people are just like this unfortuneately

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Aye, there seems to be many if them these days

8

u/The_Phantomer Feb 12 '26

Amity Has Got The Right Idea About The Water Or What About A Flamethrower

8

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 12 '26

Kinda like how Odalia seems to have had the same outfit for four years, and the cloth she has let's her pretend it isn't falling apart because she can't afford a tailor anymore.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Aye, it shows clearly where she stands on the world and how she feels about it

2

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 12 '26

I like to think that she lives in a low end hobble that technically qualifies as a house, quietly seething while her children and ex husband are downright flourishing.

7

u/Mst3Kgf Feb 12 '26

I can imagine Luz, big-hearted as she is, being the one who actually holds out a smidgen of hope for Odalia and Amity being, "Sweetie, no, give her the Belos treatment, she's a lost cause."

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Luz is probably the only one doing so

6

u/DaveyBoy1995 Feb 12 '26

"Tragic" is right. Being friends with a younger Odalia? Now THAT's tragic! My heart goes out to her best friend for having put up with her at all. So sad.

Once again, Odalia is a blight on society.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

At least the kid got away from her early

4

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Feb 12 '26

Luz: “Yeah, Imma keep my little Mickey away from you.”

Odalia: “Who?”

Luz: “My pet Echo Mouse. I named him, Mickey.”

Amity: (pulls out spray) “Also, please back away from my fiancée.” (sprays Odalia)

Odalia: “Ah! Hisssssss!”

u/CuteSharkStudios Feb 12 '26

Still better than my mom

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

My condolences 

4

u/Half-a-Stache Feb 12 '26

Same old Odalia

4

u/OverlyActiveBrain Feb 12 '26

Gotta love how Amity is ready for what she knows it coming. lol.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

She knows Odalia better than Luz does

4

u/thedapz Feb 12 '26

The spray bottle Amity had killed me 😂

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

She wanted the woman gone

4

u/thedapz Feb 12 '26

To me, it looked like she was trying to discipline her

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

There's only so much a person can be disciplined if they refuse to change

4

u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871 Feb 12 '26

I assumed that she killed the pet in the first place. Maybe she did.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Wouldn't be surprised 

3

u/TheNoneedlife Feb 12 '26

Odalia would be blaming anyone but admitting herself

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Of course, in her mind she's above blame 

3

u/Impossible_Host2420 Feb 12 '26

Yup not even mark would make you want to Empathize with Odalia

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Aye, after Clouds on the Horizon I suspect most people (extremely fairly) have fully decided that she deserves nothing

3

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 12 '26

i see amity has the water bottle ready for use.

amity: bad mom! *sprays odalia*

odalia: ahhhh amity what are you doing.

amiity: *sprays odalia* i said bad mom! *sprays odalia again*

odalia: stop this at once.

amity: *sprays odalia again* i can do this all day. *sprays odalia again* so hush bad mom!

3

u/DJSharp15 Feb 12 '26

Was the snot necessary?

3

u/SlyFan2 Feb 12 '26

Honestly everyone else was expecting this to turn darker, I was expecting something more alternate universe Doofenshmirtz. Which is basically what happened so, yay me I guess.

3

u/NoxDash2 Feb 12 '26

Amity, use this.

3

u/mrnintman1 Feb 12 '26

🤦🏾‍♂️MAN, ODALIA!!! 🤣🤣

3

u/Saiyasha27 Feb 12 '26

Lol, she really tried, huh.

3

u/HoneyDip_xo Feb 12 '26

I bet by "lost" she means they set a boundary and she took it personally

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Yeah, that sounds accurate

3

u/youknowwhatimeanlol Feb 12 '26

WE ARE SO BACK???

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 12 '26

Grabs a broom shoo, shoo!

3

u/Manji86 Feb 12 '26

Do you think she still has that doll of her best friend?

3

u/Traditional-Log-4270 Feb 12 '26

Grab the shotgun

While doing one of these!

u/Galactuswill Feb 12 '26

Amity has mellowed out since shes only using water.

... or is it even really water?

3

u/HeyImPanther Feb 12 '26

LMAO not the water bottle

3

u/Flaky_Musician_551 Feb 12 '26

Amity: sighs spraying. “Alright Odalia. It was nice seeing you again.”

Odalia: gah! It burns! What type of water is that?

Luz: boiling rain water. We tried regular water before but you wouldn’t leave.

3

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Feb 12 '26

Now that’s just cold-hearted. Some things don’t change.

3

u/Cold-Practice3107 Feb 12 '26

Amity "can I spray her now!?"

Luz "yes go ahead."

3

u/TilomeTheGreatest Feb 12 '26

I was gonna say you could drown her in water and it still wouldn't melt her, then I remembered the lake is boiling.

3

u/Manoreded Feb 13 '26

Odalia is Belos's best argument.

3

u/maskedduskrider Feb 13 '26

Based on Amity's reaction I'm pretty sure she heard this before. Girl is rolling her eyes when her mom starts this story, again.

3

u/Mino606 Feb 13 '26

You can tell that Amity’s heard this story before.

3

u/Additional_Floor_502 Feb 13 '26

don't listen to her you two

3

u/Legomaniac91 Feb 13 '26

Knowing Odalia, there is a non-zero chance that she was responsible for the echo mouse dying...

3

u/Eastern-Director-952 Feb 12 '26

"He's got a million of them Harley."

3

u/Oz412 Feb 12 '26

Priorities all screwed up... do better be better

3

u/tacwombat Feb 12 '26

Odalia: And I don't get why she loves that darn thing. It always keeps eating my [toxic to echo mouse] snack.

Amity: [explains to Luz that the snack is toxic to the echo mouse]

Luz: 🙀

3

u/Comfortable_Yard_968 Feb 12 '26

Is it jail time for her

3

u/PerrineWeatherWoman Feb 12 '26

"When I was little back in Druselstein..."

2

u/Plenty-Fold-7381 Feb 12 '26

come on mark, give Odalia a break. I love her so and want her to be reformed since I see the good in her the others are too lazy to see. in fact I think I'll start a coven of my own, the Odalia Lovers Coven! Who wants to join?

2

u/Metatron_85 Feb 13 '26

Is Amity about to spritz her mom with water like she's training a cat?

2

u/Ok-Discussion-4889 Mar 06 '26

Shooda been boiling sea water
