The Owl House Episode 18 Review
In season one, episode eighteen of The Owl House, we finally learn who cursed Eda and nothing good happens from that point on.
“Wing it Like a Witch” was definitely the calm before the storm — a warm, feel-good episode before everything we’d come to know as the status quo comes crashing down on our hearts. The running theory around “Agony of a Witch” was that it would be about Eda’s backstory, her curse, and or Emperor Bellows. None of these were wrong; they just weren’t in the way most of us expected.
As much as I’d love to say that I was shocked to my core at the revelations presented in “Agony of a Witch”, I’m not. Make no mistake, I am shocked just not as much as I should’ve been, which I put as a testament to this show’s foreshadowing.
The covens being a relatively new thing was unsurprising (see my review of “Wing It Like Witches”). The covens being only fifty years old, however, was not what I was suspecting. I have no idea what the average lifespan of a witch from the Boiling Isles is but I feel like fifty years does not make one elderly here. So how did Emperor Bellows manage to implement a nation-wide system that no one questions or seems to remember the times before, I ask knowing full well that there are things from the Cold War that the U.S. still hasn’t gotten rid of and few know we aren’t supposed to still have. Fear, the answer is fear.
So, apparently, everyone knows that the Boiling Isles is built out of a titan’s corpse and they treat said nameless titan almost reverently. Is the titan even dead? Emperor Bellows’s castle is directly connected to a large beating heart that I can only assume is the titan’s heart. Beating hearts usually indicated that whoever the heart belongs to is still living. So, is the titan still alive and just gutted or something? That’s gruesome! That’s practically torture. It feels like everyone’s just some sort of parasite that’s taken over the body of this titan. What the heck is this world of magic and body horror?
Lilith being the one who cursed Eda was surprising but not shocking. While I had long since stopped suspecting Lilith of being the culrprit due to how earnest she seemed in wanting Eda’s curse removed (which she is, in a way), the thought was there once upon a time. Nevertheless, I was hurt all the same. Who curses their sister to force her to join a cult run by a guy they themself fears all in the name of family? The answer is Lilith but the question is still why?
Emperor Bellows is indeed terrifying but not because of anything he actually he says. He’s terrifying because he’s a very creepy individual that we still know very little about. His throne sits beneath a massive beating heart that seems to react to his own heart (Is that actually his own heart?). He tears open tiny hearts and pours the green goop from it into his eyes to make himself feel less like he’s dying. What is this guy and why is he like this? How did he even ascend to emperor in the first place? I had to be by force but he’d have to be ridiculously strong and/or clever to become a tyrant of a group of a people who once ran around using magic somewhat like Eda does, and Eda is one of the strongest witches on the Boiling Isles.
Despite the horribly downer ending “Agony of a Witch” hits us with, there still are some fun light-hearted gems.
Gus and Willow are the type of friends who would commit crimes with you. Good to know.
Amity can’t go on the field trip because she hurt her ankle last episode and is bitter about it.
Eda made Luz a magic cloak, presumedly with a cape. This was the biggest red flag in the episode that bad things were going to happen but it’s still an incredibly sweet moment.
King made a stripper cake.
And while it may seem like I hate Hooty, I do. However, if anything bad should ever happen to him, I’d definitely rage.
This is a great episode. The red flags dipped in saccharine are incredibly heavy-handed but they’re still amusing and a small part of the episode. While most of the episode plays out like an average Owl House episode, the last third is where everything picks up, especially the animation. The only way I can see the show moving forward is by rescuing Eda, but I have no idea how Luz and friends can possibly do that. This’ll be interesting.
Fold the strip in half lengthwise with the wrong sides together and press with an iron. Step 4: Sewing the Trim With the main fabric still folded in half, place the folded trim along the top edge of the fabric, aligning the raw edges. Pin the trim in place. Then, sew a straight stitch along the top edge, about 1/4 inch from the edge, to attach the trim to the main fabric. Step 5: Creating the Magic Fold Now comes the magic part! Unfold the fabric so that the right side of the main fabric is facing up. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, bringing the bottom edge up to meet the top edge. Make sure the trim is on the inside of the fold. Pin along the sides and bottom. Step 6: Sewing the Edges Using a 1/2 inch seam allowance, sew along the sides and bottom of the fabric, backstitching at the beginning and end to secure the stitches. Trim any excess fabric and clip the corners. Step 7: Finishing Touches Turn the pillowcase right side out and press with an iron. Your magic pillowcase is now complete! Slip a pillow into the case through the opening at the top (where the trim is folded over) and watch as the trim magically frames the pillow. With these instructions, you can create beautiful and enchanting magic pillowcases that will make your bedroom feel like a magical oasis. Experiment with different fabrics and trims to personalize your pillowcases and create a truly unique look. Enjoy the magic of your new pillowcase!.
Reviews for "The Magic Pillowcase Phenomenon: Instructions for the Best Sleep of Your Life"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the Magic Pillowcase Instructions. The instructions were unclear and confusing, making it difficult to follow along and create the magic pillowcase. It felt like the instructions assumed prior knowledge or experience in sewing, which I do not have. I ended up wasting my time and materials trying to figure out what the instructions were saying. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone unless they are a professional seamstress.
2. Mark - 2 stars - The Magic Pillowcase Instructions were not as magical as advertised. The instructions did not provide enough detail or guidance, and I found myself frequently pausing and rewinding the video tutorial to make sure I was understanding the steps correctly. Additionally, the materials required were not clearly specified, leading to confusion and delays. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of clarity in the instructions and would not recommend this product to beginners or those without sewing experience.
3. Emily - 2 stars - As someone who considers myself a beginner in sewing, I found the Magic Pillowcase Instructions to be overwhelming and frustrating. The instructions were not beginner-friendly and assumed a certain level of expertise that I did not have. The steps were not clearly explained, and I struggled to make sense of the techniques being used. It would have been helpful if there were more visuals or diagrams to accompany the written instructions. I ended up giving up halfway through because I couldn't understand what to do. Not recommended for beginners or those looking for clear instructions.
4. Alex - 1 star - I found the Magic Pillowcase Instructions to be a waste of money. The instructions were poorly written and lacked organization, making it difficult to follow along. It felt like the writer assumed that everyone already had a basic understanding of sewing, which was not the case for me. The lack of visuals or diagrams made it even more confusing. I regret purchasing this product and would not recommend it to anyone looking for clear and concise instructions.
