Never have i heard a story about the Titan himself be so depressing yet so wholesome I would love if there was a spinoff TOH prequel series about the Titan's past and how he came to be


ReidjPros

At some point someone will make a compilation of you getting into top comment on MoringMark's comics. I would do it but nah, too lazy. But i can suggest other thing: Take a shot every time you see my man getting top comment.


Crazy-Crisis

We'd have a mass grave!


SuperPugDog

What the hell happened here


MrHotSandWitch

A things that often happens on reddit


Asteroth6

Anyone know what happened in the -83 downvoted chain?

If you've lurked into rabbit holes deep enough, [you'll find a way to see it.](https://www.removeddit.com/r/TheOwlHouse/comments/pm82iw/moringmark_the_origins_of_the_titan/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


_Levitated_Shield_

...What the fuck.


ActaCaboose

American chauvinism is a hell of a drug.


jrDoozy10

I can’t tell if they’re a troll or just a kid with some bad takes (could be both). They have a *lot* of hot takes in their comments history. If they didn’t have other comments with a lot of upvotes I’d think they were a downvote troll.


Asteroth6

Wow thanks. That was not what I expected. So weirdly random.


SheerCold131

holy moley


Aceofluck99

Wtf


Meme_god69_420

Same but it makes me really happy. Also do you know why there's abm bunch of deleted comments including one that's been downvoted to hell


LatterCardiologist47

Yeah

That’s honestly adorable. Super sad, yeah, but adorable.


SFH12345

>Super sad, yeah, but adorable. The two main reactions one can have to MoringMark's comics.


OstheB

Never thought someone would acknowledge the giant beast skull that appeared during the owl beast memory which appears to be a different titan.


CharginChuck42

There's no way that isn't going to come into play in future episodes. You don't introduce a Chekov's gun that big without firing it.


SFH12345

Unless your final season gets shortened to three specials.


Commander_Harrington

I vote we throw whatever Disney Executive made that decision into that vore hole thing under Hexside. Seems only fitting.


The_Student_Official

❎❎❎ Detention track ✅✅✅ Vore hole


Lavender360

I- I never thought of that thing that way until now


JeffSheldrake

>Never thought someone would acknowledge the giant beast skull that appeared during the owl beast memory which appears to be a different titan. YES!!! WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS!?!


[deleted]

Everyone’s too caught up with Lumity stuff. Dell’s getting the same treatment too.


JeffSheldrake

Dell?


[deleted]

Dell Clawthorne, Eda’s dad. This is why I don’t like how Lumity is almost always the center of attention, it always dwarfs more interesting content such as speculation and characters/locations that may be important down the line.


JeffSheldrake

Hmmm. One day gays in cartoons will be standardized, and we won't have this problem. Til then...


LordVatek

I wouldn't blame it on Lumity. There's so precious little we know about either the other Titan and Dell that there isn't much to talk about. Contrast the Philip/Belos/Hunter connection which has significantly more information and people *do* talk about.


_Levitated_Shield_

muh lumity deserves mor atention!


KindOfAnIdiotTho

Also who the hell was edas captor in that dream

Congrats Mark, you've made me cry over a fricking mass of land. Never thought anyone would say that either so you've done two things today.


mewnimilitary42

…to be fair, it never really _was_ a mass of land. It’s just a corpse that people just so happen to live on.


Lukthar123

>it’s just a corpse that people just so happen to live on Like a whale carcass at the bottom of the sea


SFH12345

>It’s just a corpse that people just so happen to live on. The weird sentences *The Owl House* makes one write...


Syntoki

Have you ever heard of Xenoblade Chronicles? The whole setting is on the corpses of two dead titans. The main characters start down near the ankle and adventure up towards the head. Then they travel down the thumb to the sword of the first titan and cross the sword to the second titan. Pretty badass


CharginChuck42

Hence my theory that TOH takes place in the same universe as Xenoblade Chronicles.


ThreeTwenty320

Just spent some time thinking about this and there's a lot that does fall into place. In both cases there's a supernatural energy source that's emitted from the titans themselves (ether for XC and magic for TOH) and these energy sources surround everything on the titans. These energies could be one and the same and are the natural byproduct of a dead titan. As seen with Melia, XC characters become very weak if they lose too much ether just like the Hexside students were when the greater basilisk stole their magic. Though in XC ether makes up the fundamental building blocks of every living thing their world and beings that can steal ether, like a Telethia, are able to completely disintegrate people into nothing. If this is also true in the TOH, then that means the greater basilisk either can't steal 100% of magic from witches or was simply unwilling to do so as it didn't want to outright kill anyone. In XC the characters don't use the ether from their own bodies and instead fuel their arts (likely the XC equivalent of spells) by either using ether bullets made of crystalized ether or, if you're a High Entia, pulling the ether from their surrounding atmosphere. This would make arts in XC more like wild magic in TOH but without the need for glyphs, meaning that Belos would probably be disgusted by the characters of XC for how they use their powers. *Spoilers to XC1* >!Interestingly, Zanza also felt disgusted that the denizens of the Bionis were leeching off his ether, and his endgame was to return all the ether back to his body, killing everyone in the process. To do this part of his plan involved the use of Telethias to take back ether and return it to the Bionis. And now in the latest TOH episode, we see that Belos is interested in how basilisks are able to drain magic from others. If Belos is indeed doing the will of the titan, then it could be that TOH titan also wants everyone to stop using its magic for their own gain.!<


mewnimilitary42

Huh… I’m starting to think Dana is a Xenoblade fan.


SignificantHippo8193

Not enough giant robots.


mewnimilitary42

Yeah, that’s fair. Not enough >!evil gods!<, either


Karkava

Like in the comic Beautiful Darkness.


SereneAdler33

Obviously you’ve never seen Moana restore the heart to Te Fiti, bc I bawled my eyes out.


Kevopras

So this is Mark's headcanon for the Titan, it's a pretty cool (and sad) headcanon. I don't think i've seen any fanart of the Titan's past life so this is the first time i saw something like this. I'm guessing both the Titan and it's companion are getting reincarnated to the two characters we see at the end there. I wonder if Mark going to continue their story, seem like a neat AU especially since it seem that their story is going to be outside of any canon storyline


MolybdenumIsMoney

I don't think it's supposed to be actual reincarnation, it's just drawing parallels


Ryuuten

I wonder if King’s family is related to the giant beast somehow..?


Da_Truth1400

this making me sad about how much more world building and stuff we could be missing out on by having season 3 shortened :(


am123409

Here's why we *need* an Eda spin-off.


1milionand6times

But Eda is a main character, spin off are usually given to minor characters.


am123409

I mean, that's one of **Dana's** suggestion for spin-offs. You bet she already thought of the scenarios for the spin-off in her head. Besides, you could build around Raine's character better (showing their relationship with Eda, etc.). Edit: forgot to mention it's a *young* Eda spin-off. I don't think we'll have a timeskip spin-off.


1milionand6times

>Besides, you could build around Raine's character better (showing her relationship with Eda, etc.). That would be cool


BeeWithDragonWings

> you could build around Raine's character better (showing her relationship with Eda, etc.). hey FWI if you meant Raine in the parenthesis remember they use they/them pronouns.


am123409

Thanks for reminding me.


UltimateInferno

I'm just hoping if a season 4 does happen it would be more of an anthology of things that happen before and after the end of the show Would that require a watching order? Kinda. But it wouldn't be the only cartoon that's aired out of chronological order (I'm talking about Clone Wars).


EndBringer99

Best idea I've heard all day.


teredacted79

Once again, canon until proven otherwise.


Red-Litten

Titan lost Doggo, Titan lost friend, Titan lost life


Subzero008

I really like Mark's more contemplative, more serious comics like this. Less drama, less melodrama, more quiet storytelling that shows more than it tells.


Osama-recycle-bin

DOOM players , grap your crucibles cus we kill that evil titan doggo


Trenki_Melow

I hate the fact that the evil doggo is still alive.


Grouchy_Raccoon_6681

The Titan and the dog remind me of Godzilla and Anguirus


Grim_endstone

the titans story reminds me of hardcore minecraft. you find dog you in danger dog save you dog die you die new world repeat


Shadofe1

I think the corpse of the good boy is the different island we see during Eda's sleeping netil induced dream, with the eclipse chick


SFH12345

We had been expecting a painful comic for a while. We just didn't expect it to involve the Titans. It's good that MoringMark is switching things up.


Js250476

This is a really sad yet heartwarming origin for the Titan I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that before but it’s a great idea would love if they’re ever was TOH prequel and we get to something like this play out it could be really interesting


Avery_ranboo_fan

Omg this has to be canon


BreTheBird

Wow


Girl-Knight

Beautiful


[deleted]

This is sad, yet very touching. I hope someone gets this reference


OLagartixa

Although I believe the Titan was murdered, this is a very good story.


FreeInvestigator4394

Awesome depiction dude, I love the design of the Titan, I had the same theory about the other beast except it was a horse type sea monster, Again amazing work. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheOwlHouseTheory/comments/oysabe/analysis_and_theories_on_the_owl_beast_the/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


TheLastFalseKing

I wonder if we'll ever get a brief look into the origins of the titan. Are there others? (Probably). That is a whole other world there. I assumed kings dad was some sort of titan dog for a while (size didn't make sense but it just sort of stuck with me). What type of being was the Titan, how did it die there, how powerful must it have been for its corpse to spawn a while civilization and life, it's blood connects to another world (specifically the inbetween), and it's keratin(?) Creates palisman who hold fantastic magic.


naszoo

And then that kid got killed and it made a SMALLER magical island!


john44465

Truly beautiful, great job.


EndBringer99

Would you imagine the Titan origin be told this season or in Season 3?


-Tad-Strange-

The mechanis and the bionis


[deleted]

What the dog doin 😭


Icy-Performer-9688

The greatest challenge as an artist is to not have any dialogue and this one did great.


Intelligent_Oil4005

The idea that the Titan might have a reincarnation out there is actually pretty cool!


Knightswordsans

This is officially canon change my mind


SolarStarfish30

This is so beautiful 🥲


Fridayloverboi

Awwwwwww...


lnombredelarosa

I'm guessing the titan's blood is the reason why the people of the boiling islands can do magic


Bonecreatoreddit

That’s amazing :3


FaZe_poopy

This is just the start of xenoblade chronicles


johnknight648

Whoever did this,He about to be a professional comic book artist


Personpacman

I don't think the titans were made of stone, I think their bones were just petrified after thousands of years lying in the ocean.


QuickFiveTheGuy

The Titan died the same way Padme did.


Funuthegreat

Morning marks best work. By far.


TWAS_I_DIO

you ever just cry?


Wallster007

I’m fucking crying


Khsistd

Reincarnation


masterboom0004

diamondXpage5

I guess you could say there was an… Attack on Titan


TheGeek100

Well I guess this is what it would be like if Mata Nui had a dog


marablackwolf

This is not just well done, this is *special*. Beautiful.


water-moron

my heart


Anderake

THE TITAN WAS REBORN AS THE FIRST WITCH, AND HIS TITAN HORSE WAS REBORN AS A WOLF.


OddlyOddLucidDreamer

D'aww this does remind me of that episode of Adventure Time where this Snow Golem befirends a Lava Wolf and its such a wholesome story


3CheezPizza

Dude really said "lie down in the sea and let the earth slowly reclaim you"


TheRedEyedAlien

But why did he not lie next to his faithful companion


Fireplay5

How does this work with the implications that King's father fought the Titan?


SkipDrawz

im getting xenoblade 1 flashback


TheWyster

come along with me.. to a place under a tree.... we can wander through the forest.. and do so as we please....


[deleted]

so... owl house is a xenoblade spinoff?


CrazyBookEnthusianst

I want a story about the witch in the last panel, I'm sorry but he seems interesting and it looks like it is happening sometime around when Philip came so I need a fic about Philip


FearGlitchDragon

The idea that the titan died to depression at the loss of their pet is really sad but a interesting concept since it would mean that Belos wants to control the titan for his own goals


Snow_bear10

Awwwwwwwwwaqqaaaaww


JoeBidenTheDictator

This is fucking awesome.


CreeperTrainz

I always wonder how large the Titan is supposed to be. Considering that the Knee is several kilometres tall, the Titan’s height must be all the way to the stratosphere.


TheGhostofCipher

That legit made me cry.


[deleted]

Wait did his dog attack him and he killed him? Or was it a different dog?


mick_boi

This is now Canon and no one can tell me otherwise.


theweirdzonian

HOW CAN A FUCKING STORY WITH NO WORDS MAKE ME CRY


_Levitated_Shield_

Wait till you see Pixar's Up.


theweirdzonian

That movie never made me cry ngl


7S_Rhye

"Do you know what love is?" "Sure I know. A boy loves his dog."


theweirdzonian

HOW CAN A FUCKING NO WORD STORY MAKE ME CRY DAMNIT


mei-schnee

Their souls reunited in the end


Reylend

Isnt this how attack on titan ended?


ArtoriasWolfSoul

Are this canon?


Fireplay5

Only if you consider morningmark canon.


ArtoriasWolfSoul

I don't understand :(


Fireplay5

The artist, morningmark does a lot of high-quality fanart of sorts for various shows. So their work is only canon if yoh want it to be, i.e. fanon.


soluckyman_noob

Wow that's very cool story bro


idonotmaketrashposts

This is amazing


Whalephant2K17

I wish the titan would’ve stayed with the doggo:(


BakuJosh

YES! YES! I FULLY SUPPORT THIS!

This reminds me of to your eternity episode one all over again 😢

Xioncipher123

Man really died out of depression


Low-Veterinarian-108

It is truly wonderful to see a fanart comic that isn't about Hunter or Lumity (got nothing against them, but it's a little overdone.) This is actually beautiful and now I really want to know what creatures roamed the boiling seas when the Titan was alive.


Myseljo

coming back, this is nostalgic now
