Covens to Magic: The Gathering color alignments

Because there are ten covens and ten color pairs so hello?

• Emperor's Coven: Technically all colors but for this purposes White-Blue, they are the governing system and it helps that Belos is a very White-aligned villain.
• Oracle: Blue-Black. Centered on using predictions to defy fate (very anti-Green, the common enemy of Blue and Black) and can make use of spirits and other undead.
• Bard: Pretty Red aligned and is capable of mass corrosion spells, so Black-Red. Fitting for the most artistic coven and color pair.
• Beast: Red-Green, like there was ever any doubt.
• Healing: Green-White. This is mostly on the speculative side since we haven't seen much of it and Green and White are the colors most associated with healing.
• Potions: White-Black. This is mostly due to the process of elimination more than anything.
• Illusions: Very Blue aligned and the two characters we've seen so far use it are very emotional and artistic in their own ways, so Blue-Red.
• Abominations: Black-Green. Pretty fitting: it is basically PG necromancy and uses gross stuff.
• Construction: Red-White. Both colors use earth and its used for civic purposes.
• Plants: Green-Blue. Mostly in the process of elimination, though Terra at least can use water spells.

There's a portal to the Demon Realm in Gravity Falls

Setting up a potential crossover where Luz teams up with an older Dipper and Mabel.

Mabel: So how did you meet our great aunt?

Eda and Stanley Pines know each other.

Alex Hirsch played Stan and they both mention having exes. Eda may have been Stan's wife or at least a partner in crime. These two could probably scam a lot of people using Eda's magic and their combined cunning.

• Probably not his wife. According to the cryptograms in the series, Stan's wife was named Marilyn. Granted, she could have been using an assumed name.
• Alex Hirsch actually hinted in the episode commentary for “The Land Before Swine” on the Gravity Falls box set that it was in fact Eda, and she was using “Marilyn” as a fake name.

King is the King of Demons. He is Bill Cipher.

His voice and mannerisms are similar to Bill's. And at end of Gravity Falls Bill begged Axolotl for forgiveness, which Axototl said he’d grant, but only one way. So Bill became King in an attempt to redeem himself.

• This might be why King believes himself to have been the “king of demons”; in a past life, he was!

Stan Pines' ex-wife Marilyn was Eda under an assumed name

According to the alternate commentary on "The Land Before Swine", Stan says Marilyn wore a shirt that read "Over 30 and Very Flirty", and had pale skin and a "weird sharp tooth", and mysteriously vanished after trying to steal both his winnings and his car. That description sounds suspiciously like Eda, who's seen drinking apple blood from a "30 and Flirty" coffee mug in "Witches Before Wizards", and it wouldn't be unlikely for her to try and steal a "horseless carriage" as a particularly valuable human curiosity.

• "Yesterday's Lie" confirms that Eda traveled to the human realm at least once under the name of Marilyn.

Alastor is related to Eda somehow.

Both have pale skin, big eyes, sharp teeth, can be quite hammy and love the color red, as well as having an Animal Motif (Eda has owls, Alastor has deer) and having a friendship with a much smaller creature (Eda has King, Alastor has Niffty). Perhaps they are cousins, or Al is Eda and Lilith's long-lost brother.

Eda's the aunt or grandma of Raven Roth.

Both are pale, have round eyes with thick lashes, are secretive and sarcastic, and associated with birds. In addition, you have to earn their trust.

The Nocedas and the Pines are related somehow.

The etymology of the name "Noceda" suggests that it came from the Latin word "nucetum", meaning "a grove of nut trees". This description is also applicable to the name "Pines". At the very least there are some Theme Naming going on here.

Just as Fozzie guest starred in Big City Greens, and Kermit guest starred in Amphibia, Gonzo will guest star in a The Owl House episode.

• "Gonzo the Great" already sounds like a great wizard name. And his palisman will be a chicken.

Emperor Belos is Nyarlathotep

A spit-ball theory, but in the Mythos, Nyarlathotep is the messenger and voice of the Outer Gods namely Azathoth much like how Belos claims to be able to speak to the Titan. Nyarlathotep is a Humanoid Abomination whose first appearance in the prose poem of the same name has him take different metals to create bizarre instruments. This calls into mind how Belos' magic staff looks more technological than other witches, and how he oversees the construction of a portal machine. Nyarlathotep has many avatars, or "masks" which is exactly what Belos is wearing. His physical body is likely something more akin to a gaseous substance explaining how he can easily melt himself or contort. Nyarlathotep's goal is ultimately to release the other gods of the pantheon, which may as well be what Belos is aiming to do with the "Day of Unity."

The Day of Unity will be a big Avengers-style crossover between multiple Disney shows teaming up with the cast of The Owl House to save Earth (or perhaps the multiverse) from Emperor Belos.

On the good guys' side is Luz teaming up with the casts of series like Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, Milo Murphy's Law, Wander over Yonder, Ducktales 2017, Amphibia, Big City Greens, Big Hero 6: The Series, Tangled: The Series, and maybe some of their older shows like Gargoyles. On the villains' side is Belos and his Legion of Doom made up of villains from these shows either left alive by their end or brought Back from the Dead through magic.

• As impressive as that sounds, Disney Television Animation series have legal obligations that actually prevent crossovers, meaning this is highly unlikely. Alex Hirsch and Daron Nefcy never could pull off a crossover between their shows. Lilo & Stitch was the only know Disney animated tv show that could, and that's because it started out as a film franchise than a television franchise.

Emperor Belos is a Makyr who gained independence.

He fell through a portal when The Icon of Sin messed with spacetime in Urdak and got spat out in the Boiling Isles. Unable to get home, he gained independence and gave himself a name. He created the Coven System for fear that Wild Magic would draw the attention of Hell, and the Day of Unity is an attempt to get back home.

Hexside kids and their Hogwarts houses

• Gryffindor - Luz
• Ravenclaw - Gus, Skara, Bo
• Hufflepuff - Willow, Eileen, Viney
• Slytherin - Amity, Edric, Emira, Boscha, Mattholomule

Judging from the hidden messages in Amphibia , the Boiling Isles has it's own weird demon version of Soos.

I mean, apparently there is a different version of Soos across the entire multiverse so.

Luz is a Half-Blood, a child of a mortal and a god

She's a daughter of a Greek God, possibly Apollo or Hermes. Perhaps to promote the Disney + series, which Disney is apparently pretty invested in making big, crossovers or specials on theme to it will be created to promote it.

The real reason why Belos tries to gain access to the Human realm

Warning, MAJOR ''Amphibia' spoilers, only continue if you watched all Amphibia episodes including "True Colors"!!

Emperor Belos didn't lie when he said he doesn't want to attack or invade the Human realm (why would he care for these weird, round-eared, magic-less barbarians, anyway), what he really was after was "music box", or to call it by its real name, the Calamity Box so he could invade Amphibia and seize it's unique magic (the one that allowed mere frogs, toads and newts to become humanoid and gain sapience) and especially its magitek which is now controlled by King Adrias. Amphibia and the Boiling Islands are actually located on the same planet, but they're too far away to realistically conquer them from the Boiling Islands.

Alternately...

Belos wants to prevent the Calamity Box for being used again by the Newtopians for conquest.

The Owl House takes place in the same universe as Amphibia

The Owl House was briefly in a Season 3 episode of Amphibia, “If You Give A Frog a Cookie”, while Dr. Frake showed some of the universes.

Hop Pop's face makes a cameo on the cover of a book about toads in season 2.

The Titan is a minion of Black Hat.

The Titan came from Final Space

Invictus' evil essence still lingers on it and Belos has been slowly corrupted by it through attempts at communication, not unlike the Lord Commander.

The Boiling Isles' magic was directly influenced by the Realm of Magic

If any SVTFOE viewers recall, the once golden pool of magic turned into black goop once Toffee corrupted it, looking eerily similar to the black goop within the pocket dimension that ultimately consumed the magic door leading to it in "Yesterday's Lie".

And if you think about, Belos is essentially an Evil Counterpart of Star Butterfly. Star ended up merging Earth and her own magical dimension together (unintentionally on this end, however) and destroying all sources of magic to save monsterkind and prevent the abuse of it for good. If that sounds familiar, it's because that's exactly how the Day of Unity is described by Belos; Earth and the Demon Realm unifying as one to bring an end to wild magic.

Crossover theory with Attack on Titan

Warning, MAJOR spoilers for both series, DO NOT PROCEED if you didn't watch The Owl House up to and including the episode "Yesterday's Lies" and didn't read the Attack on Titan manga in its entirety!!

The other titan corpse islands want to destroy the Boiling Islands because of their especially dangerous magic and the scroll with the Owl Beast curse was the neighboring island's attempt to gauge the Boiling Islands' strength (just like Reiner, Bertolt and Annie were sent to gauge the strength and strategy of Paradis and their king). Belos knows that and wants to use the Day of Unity to revive the neighboring titan's corpse to use it as deterrent against the rest of the islands (he writes off the inhabitants of the other island as acceptable collateral damage to save the Boiling Islands). No-one except the coven leaders and a few bigwigs of the emperor's coven know about the other islands, the conflict or Belos strategy; Raine Whispers tried to get the info in the open, but was caught and incapacitated by Kikimora using the coven mark before they could managed to do so.

• That directly contradicts canon, since judging by the business card Odalia gave Luz in the second episode of the second season (its last line was "B.I." for "Boiling Isles", see this screenshot), the average citizen is not only aware of civilization outside of the Boiling Isles, there's also at the very least postal traffic between them.

Crossover theory with Star vs. the Forces of Evil

Warning, MAJOR spoilers for both series, DO NOT PROCEED if you didn't watch The Owl House up to and including the episode "Yesterday's Lies" and didn't watch all four seaons of Star vs. the Forces of Evil!!

• Belos trying to open a portal to Earth was just a test-run, his real target is the (former) realm of magic.
• Star didn't really destroy the realm of magic, she only emptied it and rendered the "wells" to all worlds of the multiverse inert
• Belos wants to use the magic he collected via the coven marks to kick-start the realm of magic just like Star did after she defeated Toffee.
• The magic of the SVTFOE-verse was shown to have strong regenerative capabilties, which Belos wants to use to get rid of his curse.
• The early witches of the Boiling Islands were Mewmans who knew about the realm of magic. Belos found this old knowledge, but also found out that the realm of magic was, unexpectedly, empty. He sent expeditions to explore it, and, together with the old knowledge about it, came up with the above plan.
• The in-between Luz accessed with her jerry-rigged portal was a storage dimension where all magical beings were put when the magic sensed it was being destroyed. The beings that talked to her were either the magical unicorns (i.e. manifestations of magic), Gloassaryck or some other magic beings that were put in stasis there. They wanted Luz to stay in the in-between a bit longer to tell her how to revive magic.
• The "cubes" and the being that talked to Luz in the "in-between" got their energy from the Boiling Isles with the make-shift portal being the conduit.

The Titan is a Titan.

The fact that its blood can open portals already gives it quite a lot in common with The Icon of Sin.

The Portal Door requires Bard magic to work.

Because interdimensional travel needs the right musical frequency to target the right dimension.

Hunter’s horrifying origin is at least partially a Take That! to Dippy Fresh

Spoilers for Hollow Mind. Stop me if this sounds familiar. Two close siblings discover a secret world of magic and wonder; one of them is fascinated and wants to study it, and in response the other one steals away their future, metaphorically in the case of Mabel and her time freeze wish, more literally with Phillip. They then recreate their abandoned sibling out of dark magic with a more supportive personality, but while Gravity Falls played this entirely as a cheap joke, The Owl House is completely unambiguous about what a warped narcissist someone would have to be to do something like that, and how it’s hardly a stretch for them to replace the replacement if they ever started to grow as their own person.

• It should be noted that Dippy Fresh only existed for a span of several days and was created by a slightly maladjusted preteen who clearly didn't understand the implications of creating such a replacement. The Grimwalkers explore the moral ramifications of if Mabel had her way of staying in her Lotus-Eater Machine, and keeping the replacement around for as long as possible.
• “Thanks To Them” adds a few more parallels to this. Both the Pines Twins and the Wittebros were sibling outcasts who arrived without parents to a strange town, with the more mature sibling having to protect and look out for the less mature one and never seeing the betrayal coming (Dipper never even suspects Mabel caused Weirdmaggedon and the memory painting shows Caleb happy to see Philip while the latter is hiding the knife behind his back) which just makes the actual betrayal all the more hideously selfish. It’s the same story of siblings betraying the other, only in this show the writer isn’t extremely biased in favor of the guilty party.

Luz and her friends will get Anne Boonchuy for help

Spoilers for King's Tide If the Owl House and Amphibia takes place in the same universe, as is implied in "If You Give a Frog a Cookie" for Amphibia and the end of "King's Tide" for Owl House, they'll seek out Anne to find out how she returned from Amphibia. As a result she'll introduce them to Dr. Frakes who may alter the portal Anne and the Plantars used to allow them to return to the Boiling Isles.

• Spoilers for Amphibia up to "The Hardest Thing". Unlikely, given the portals Terri can create at the moment are still far too small to be effectively used without the massive levels of energy from the Calamity Gems, which are now destroyed. If anyone figures out how to construct a new transdimensional portal, it will be at least ten years, given Anne in the Distant Finale clearly hasn't seen the Plantars since the Calamity Trio's farewell.
  • It may still be a possibility, as while Luz doesn't have power from the Calamity Gems, she does have three witches with her. Between "Young Blood, Old Souls" and thanks to trivia from Dana we've learned that while glyphs don't work outside the Boiling Isles, other magic does. Examples include some Hexas Hold 'Em cards still having magic and Eda traveling to Vegas. So who knows what may happen in the third season.
    • While the main theory was debunked, the possibility of Luz's friends magic as a power source was confirmed. During the montage in "Thanks to Them", their magic was able to open a portal to the Demon Realm for a brief second.
• A more mundane assistance may be with Sasha, who is now a Pyschologist. They might feel drained and hopeless, but a visit to her may help bring the fight back in them and give them the resolve to find a way back.

The Collector is the child of Alastor; sort of.

Before Alastor met Niffty or Husk, he created his own little minion from an old doll his mother created for him long ago. Some of his crazy powerful energy went into the doll, giving them their own insane powers, and since they were created to play with a child, they are obsessed with finding more friends to play with. Over time, the Collector became incensed that their "father" would turn his attention less on play and more on conquering Hell, as well as him becoming friends with the new demons, so they ran away. However, by crossing over to the Boiling Isles area from Pentagram City, they became their shadowy form and needed a new "friend" to free them. And...well, you know what happened next.

The Collector is a young member of the Q

A younger Q, but a Q none the less.

Philip Wittebane was a member of the Huntsclan before ending up in the Boiling Isles

Philip's/Belos' Fantastic Racism towards the witches and other denizens of the Boiling Isles seems eerily similar to the Huntsman's own racism towards magical creatures and he falsely let Hunter believe that he was his uncle, just like the Huntsman did towards Rose. There's the little snag that Philip's actually centuries old, but AD:JL never exactly established just how long the Huntsclan had existed prior to the series.

The Titans were created by the Calamity Guardian, who is also Axolotl

A consistent piece of worldbuilding throughout The Owl House, Amphibia and Gravity Falls is that dimensional travel is not possible by mortal means alone. All travel between world requires some sort of influence from a higher power to work. Stanford's portal was built using knowledge from Bill Cipher, the Calamity Box and Terri's portal both needed calamity power to work, and Eda's portal is reliant on titan's blood. There is also a theory that Axolotl, the divine being that gave Bill Cipher his powers, is the same entity (or an aspect of) the Calamity Guardian, the divine being that created the calamity gems, which would mean that dimensional travel in Amphibia and Gravity Falls both stem from the same source. If this pattern were to hold, it would make sense that dimensional travel in The Owl House also comes from this same source. In other words, the Titans might have some close connection to Axolotl/the Calamity Guardian.

We've been bamboozled. It's really the Collector who was reincarnated from Bill Cipher.

King's Bill-like voice and initial delusions of grandeur were merely red herrings. The Collector is a child with actual god-like powers on par with Bill who was trapped in a dream-like world. When invoked, the Axolotl brought Bill back as a being of similar power but one with a counter in the Titans. This also set him on the path to eventually meet King, someone who could not only match him as an equal but also emphasize with him and ultimately steer him in the path to good. How does this work when the Collector was trapped centuries ago? Note the Axolotl's prophecy: "one way to absolve his crime: a different form, a different time." Axolotl sent Bill back in time when reincarnating him.

• I like this idea, but The Collector and Bill are pretty different. The Collector doesn't seem to understand mortals very well, but Bill, other than not understanding what was happening when Dipper's body was overtired, understands humans and their ability to feel pain a bit too well. But, if we're going for the idea that someone other than King is the reincarnated Bill Cipher, how about Belos? Not only does "a different form, a different time" work for him as well, it would be a more fitting form for the Axolotl to reincarnate him, since Bill looked down on humans. Heck, even Belos's plan to return to the human realm ties into something else the Axolotl says about Bill, "Misses home and can't return."

Belos will end up as a guest of The Happy Hotel

A Holier Than Thou Puritan who tried to commit genocide on mostly decent people he saw as evil. Naturally, the fact that he's in Hell at all would be an Ironic Hell for him. Charlie's rehabilitation program is his one sliver of hope at getting into the "right" afterlife, even if he has to spend the intervening time in the company of incorrigible sinners. It would be a humbling experience but would slowly push him to a Heel–Face Turn.

The Calamity Box that was in the Owl House basement was real, but the Calamity Gems inside it were fake.

At some point long ago, the Newts scouted the Boiling Isles for a possible invasion but concluded it didn't have any resources valuable enough to the Newtopian Empire to make an invasion worth it. For reasons unknown, the music box got left behind while the Newt scouts returned home with just the Gems. While the Newts crafted a new box to replace the old one, some witches and demons who witnessed the event kept the old one and placed identical looking gemstones in place of the real ones. The Calamity Box with fake gems eventually wound up in the Clawthorne family's possession and eventually still in Eda's basement.
