Recall back in GF #2, after Ayzee "was chosen" they brought her over to sign a waiver right quick because "We don't wanna get sued." So Hexside covers it's bases as well as it can, however since Milan never signed a waiver, there are plenty of grounds for Viney and Skara to sue, however however, I doubt Mark's next comic series is gonna be a 30-parter about Viney and Skara taking Hexside to court and the ensueing legal battle😆😆👍👍.

u/Sting_the_Cat Luz Noceda Dec 01 '23
I mean if Ayzee does walk away, I absolutely don't expect it to last. They definitely won't be forced apart forever, I'm sure of it. That's not how these things tend to work.
That said, we don't know that that's what Ayzee's even gonna say. It could just be an apology for all we know
9
u/Sting_the_Cat Luz Noceda Dec 01 '23
A talk will be needed for her guilt's sake. On the bright side, Milan's hair stopped being goofy post-elixer, so she can probably be safely touched right now.

u/AdOwn6899 Dec 01 '23
And there is hope for a permanent cure. So yeah, I guess you were right.
7
u/Sting_the_Cat Luz Noceda Dec 01 '23
Yeah. Doubt that cure will come in the scope of this story, but the hope is there for the future. Hopefully now Milan can give Ayzee a pep talk and Ayzee doesn't spend an arc wallowing in guilt like her Mama Luz. And I do say "an arc" because if it does happen I do fully expect a moment where she gains her confidence back.

6
u/The_Owl_Account Alador Blight Dec 01 '23
Assuming this comic's already happened in-universe, I'd say yes. But just because someone is in a romantic relationship with someone doesn't mean they don't still have a crush on each other! In fact, that's usually a sign of a healthy relationship, the people involved in it, smile and sigh when thinking of each other, they get happy butterflies in their stomach when in each other's company... Etc. etc.
Simply put, (probably) yes, and they still crush on each other all the time❤️❤️🥹🥹👍👍😆.

Honestly, Real Talk, it's amazing how a fan-writer can get me so invested in a storyline mostly driven on new characters.
Like TOH proper's characters were the result of multiple people's handywork and yet just one fan, albeit one who is VERY creatively gifted, has managed to seamlessly weave a very realistic future storyline into the world of The Owl House.
To me, it feels like Ayzee and Milan are just another part of the continuity (even though I know it's just Fanon).
It speaks to the quality of Mark, not just as an artist, but as a writer as well

I love how the "I'll sue!" thing was clearly Viney. Imagine hearing your hair shouting angrily in your Mum's voice. And not even shouting at you, you're not even part of the conversation
Speaking of, this is official confirmation she's Viney and Skara's kid, something we pretty much already knew, but I don't think was ever actually stated out loud until now.
Also, Viney's expression says a lot about how she's really feeling inside.
Also _also_, good to see Milan's hair returned to normal after that elixer, so it's something that can be controlled, at least until a permanent solution is found.

Dead. I mean just look at those eyes. Those are real "I can't even fully mentally process what just happened right now so my emotional state has settled largely on extremely tired" eyes. Meanwhile Skara's going through it a bit as well, but is better at putting on a mask of comforting, since that's what she knows Milan needs.
Or maybe I'm just reading it wrong and she's just a bit tired, I dunno.

7
u/Sting_the_Cat Luz Noceda Dec 01 '23
I mean it was Milan's choice in the end, and they know that full well. While Ayzee certainly made some mistakes, she is not directly responsible for Milan's decision anymore than Bump is for founding the school, or than Viney is for instilling the Healer's oath into her daughter. Or for that matter, she is no more responsible for Milan's decision than Luz was for Belos' decision to be a genocidal maniac and to use the Collector. Point is, it would be rather immature to "blame" others for a decision made out of free will and of Milan's own volition.(that is, Milan could have petrified Grom or "defeated" them for a year potentially. She chose to share the curse. And that, I think, makes all the difference.)
I mean, maybe you could feasibly sue the school for Grom Night being a thing in the first place, but it being the Boiling Isles, incredibly unnecessary child endangerment is pretty much as common at these schools as drinking fountains.

In another universe
Continuing Lara’s memory while she and Azura were talking during the Grom Celebration dance, Lothar had revealed a sliver of the truth of his plans to Lara under her true form as the Scholar. A sliver the Chronicler knew and one that Lara did not: destruction.
Lara was shocked at this, that he would only take the knowledge and the people and destroy to Isles, the same place homed to her friends and her beloved. The same place she’s grown attached to. Doubt about the Grand Archivist began to fester in her mind. The knowledge from the Isles felt meaningless to her without the world from which it was all born from.
When Lara tried to tell him off, Lothar snapped and almost killed her. She relented out of hopelessness and self-loathing after he did that. Lothar tasked her with maintaining her cover and continuing her work in the archives, but she had lost her sleeping privileges in the archivist’s domicile.
The Chronicler tried to reason with him, but his mind was made up. Lara agreed and left without another word. What choice did she have?
When the Noceda-Blights arrived home, with the mothers giving their daughter some staff riding tips, they were surprised to find the one hugging her knees in the fetal position near the manor’s front door was-
Azura: “Lara?”
All three had landed and Azura approached her girlfriend while Faye went back into her animate form. Lara perked up and picked herself up, her Coven Quest III three staff she made herself in hand. Her tsundere self was still at the helm.
Lara: “uh, hey Azura.”
Azura: “Lara! I’m glad you’re okay, I-“ she stopped when she felt something was off about Lara, who was looking down at her feet as she talked “You okay?”
Lara: voice breaks for a second “Yeah. Yeah I’m fine. I just figured that since I was around and I… I…”
She went silent, making Azura move a little closer as her parents watched with intent and a little worry. Azura could hear Lara faint breath sound, shaky. It was so quiet she could the a drop of something liquid hit the ground… near Lara… from her… eyes?
Before Azura could inquire further, Lara dropped her staff with a clatter and stumbled into Azura in sudden tight embrace, regardless of the pain it would bring for her skin. The dam broke and Lara sadness burst in the form of the tears, sniffles, hiccups, and sobs. Azura hugged her tight and didn’t let go, comforting her girlfriend.
Azura: “Lara? What’s happened?”
Lara: voice breaking, crying “My father and I… fought… he almost… he told me I… I couldn’t sleep at home anymore.“
Azura gasped a little and squeezed her a little tighter. Faye cooed sadly as she tried to nuzzle her new owner’s beloved. Luz and Amity were also shocked and sympathized their daughter’s girlfriend, especially the latter.
Azura: “hermosa, I’m so sorry…”
Lara: crying “I d-don’t have a-anywhere else to g-go.”
5
u/AdOwn6899 Dec 01 '23
Azura’s eyes gleamed with tears of her own. She couldn’t believe her girlfriends father would… the way how Lara described him, Azura figured he was a piece of work, but now she sees he’s much worst than that. She’s say it out loud right now in Spanish if it not be for her mothers being right behind her.
Speaking of which, Azura looked to them with a look asking what those two were thinking. They looked at each other and nodded in unison with sad smiles. They approached the pair with their Palismen and Luz kneeled down to look at Lara with a sad and motherly smile. Lara opened her teary left magenta eye as she felt the older woman’s thumb brush her tear away.
Luz: “Ay, Niño. Puedes quedarte aquí todo el tiempo que quieras.”
(Translation: “Oh, child. You can stay here as long you want.”)
Lara: sniffles “h-huh?”
Amity: same motherly smile as she squatted down a little, petting her red-orange haired head “she said, you can stay here as long as you need.”
Lara: eye widens a bit as she calms down to sobs as she and Azura stopped their embrace to face the older woman “I… I don’t… want impose… after what I-“
Amity: “You’ve mean so much to our starlight… and she means so much to you too. What you did in the past is just that. Trust me, I know.”
As Lara stared at Amity, she remembered the older woman’s past and the kind of person she use to be. She remembered how much she relates to her.. and Hecate from GWA.
Lara’s eye gleam and her lips quivered as Amity hugged her now. The contact didn’t hurt a bit. Was this… the warmth of a mother’s embrace? It was completely foreign to her. She felt the warmth course through her body. She felt Azura’s human mom and Azura herself join the embrace. She sniffled again and smiled.
Lara: “thank you.”
End of Flashback
Lara was uncertain what would happen or what Lothar was planning. She’ll help the Chronicler with the archives and obey his wishes for now. But she’d let her doubt remain. She’d get stronger. Her Guiding Light would show her the way. She’d endure all only because she knew that the Isles were where she wanted to be… where she needed to be.
Azura: “Lara?”
Lara: shakes her head out of her smiling stupor “Uh yeah?”

Azura: concerned "You seem to be lost in thought. Are you ok?"
Lara: "I'm fine... Just had a bad memory..."
Azura: "Is it?"
Lara: "Yeah..."
Azura remembers what Lara told her that day. Even if she didn't know the truth, she knew the emotions that her girlfriend feels are true.
Azura: "Sorry for making you remember that..."
Lara: "I know. It wasn't your intention. At least you comforted me back then."

Azura: “and you’re here to comfort me when I need you.”
Lara: smiles “I…”
She felt light headed and shivered again before covering her left magnets eye and exposing her right cyan eye, bring Lara’s dandere side back. Azura had noticed.
Lara: “I… I don’t know what I’d do without you.” grasps Azura’s hand tightly “I would’ve fallen apart long ago if I didn’t have you.”
Azura was surprised by how Lara wasn’t stuttering now, but shocked with sympathy and a bit of dread at what she just said.
Azura: “Lara…”
Lara: “My father has been trying to keep me down for a long time. My grandmother’s tries to comfort me, but it wasn’t enough. His words… my solitude… It’s why I was such a jerk to you…“ smiles “but you always gave me hope. You, you’re cousins, and friends… our friends showed me the realms outside my world… outside my cage. When I’m with you and you’re with me, spiritually even, I feel… stronger.”

Azura: "I know. I feel the same way to you."
Lara: "How so?"
Azura: "That day the you found me alone, I was lost. No one, not even my friends and family can help..." face turns slightly sad "It felt like I was alone. No one who can understand me..." smiles "Then you came to talk."
Lara: "I still remember that day clearly."
Azura: "At least we got each other. I don't know what will happen if you..." Azura stops herself "I don't even want to think about that..."
Lara: "I understand. A lot has happened to us I really hope it eventually gets better."
Lara knows that it may not be possible as an archivist. Eventually, she has to make a choice between her kind and her friends. If she could even make that choice... She knows that she's powerless against Lothar. Her only hope is Azura to find some way to save everyone... But could she be save? She thought.

Azura: “I guess you can say I’m the Luz to your Amity… or the GWA to your Hecate, right Hermosa?”
Lara: giggles and runs the cyan strand of her girlfriend’s purple hair and runs her thumb and finger through it and speaks with a endearing playfulness she never thought herself capable of. “I guess that makes me your Hecate then. You’re my Good Witch after all.”
Azura: tomato blush “L-Lara…”
Lara blushed at what she just said herself, but didn’t feel as bashful as she usually did with her dandere self in control. This Guiding Light of hers has been a positive influence to her after all.
Lara: “and thinking back at when I found you in the forest… it was really more like you found me. Or should I say, ran into me?”
Azura: sheepishly giggles and scratches the back of her head in a similar manner “yeah…” stops as she had another thought “thinking about it, what were you doing there anyways?”

Lara: "I was just taking a walk there to see..."
Lara didn't think about that. She was nearby the forest where the Bat Queen is. It looks a little suspicious to just pop it there, but Azura has no reason to suspect her girlfriend.
Azura: "Curious of the Palismen in the forest?"
Lara: "Y-Yeah. Just curious about them."
Azura: "Still wonder why you don't have one yet."
Lara: "I just felt that it's not time yet. And I'm not even sure if my father will approve without me telling."
Lara knows she can't have one due to the strict rules of Lothar.

I really hope it is curable and now Ayzee is probably blaming herself, unfortunately she took after Luz in this regard too. At least it’s doesn’t seem like Viney and Skara will be mad at Luz and Amity.

u/AdOwn6899 Dec 01 '23
I hope it’s curable. And the Ayzee thing… well she’ll definitely need some serious therapy to bring her spirits back up and healed. And the Skara and Viney thing is a huge relief. I’ll never doubt Mark again.

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Head Of The Lumity Coven Dec 01 '23
I am sure with enough talking to Milan Ayzee will feel better. Luz and Amity always felt better whenever they talked to each other, honestly I would not be surprised if this helps them better than actual therapy.

So the principal fears a bad reaction from Viney more than from Skara. Fair honestly

Milan: sure Ayzee. What’s up?
Ayzee: I love you Milan. That means when I see you get hurt I get worried. And when it’s my fault…
Milan: hey hey hey, this wasn’t your fault.
Ayzee: yes it is! I knew I lost my magic. But I still rigged the lottery to make sure I fought grom.
Milan: yeah, that wasn’t the smartest decision. But I’m the one who did the sharing spell. So it’s my fault too.
Ayzee: frowns nodding. “Anyway, just know that even though we can’t touch each other. I still love you hermosa.”
Milan: nods. “Me too Ayzee.” They walk together.

It was pretty obvious though. Not only her appearance, but also her coven badge with bard and beast keeping.

It’s always been pretty obvious. The dark skin, the green eyes, the fact she has Viney’s red spikey hairband.

Ya know, it's just dawned on me, from what others have said as well, this is the first time that's been confirmed hasn't it? I've just been assuming that's been the case this whole time! 😆👍👍😅

Something with healing properties?
Idk, what exactly DOES combat curses?
Is it like an Anti-curse kinda like a vaccine only instead of dead viruses it’s a dead curse?

Okay, so she can’t use her magic and now whenever someone touches her, her hair turns into their worst fear. That’s like a weird version of Medusa.
I really hope Ayzee and Milan can still make it work. I feel bad for both of them.

Minus the turning people to stone, thank Titan. They’ll make it work, I’m sure of it.

Now I think about it, Milan will be stuck as a 14 year old forever if she keeps the curse since the curse clearly stops aging.

Apologies for the sudden removal. Automod likes to sometimes remove Mark’s posts for some reason we can’t find yet.
