In an alternate timeline, “The Owl House” is the brainchild video game of a mad scientist instead of a Disney TV show. But not everything on this Boiling Isles is as perfect and as chaotically beautiful as it seems…
• There’s only one copy of “The Owl House”, and that copy is hooked up and installed to supercomputers operating out of a log cabin in Upstate New York
• “The Owl House” was programmed on INSANELY-advanced computers, meaning that characters in the ‘game’ can be sentient at times
• The technopathic madman (let’s call him Dr. Henry Stoppe) has communicated with the characters in his ‘game’ before
• Dr. Henry Stoppe can also trap people in his video game world through advanced inter-dimensional technology wiring, but so far he has only trapped *ONE* person inside
• Remember how Magnate Industries CEO Hugh Magnate disappeared back in 2014? Yeah, Dr. Stoppe got to him.
• Dr. Stoppe is incredibly good at hiding his tracks – law enforcement doesn’t even know he exists
• Dr. Stoppe used to work for Magnate Industries as a security advisor. But then he got into a nasty at-work explosion that disfigured him both physically and genetically beyond repair. He relies on highly-advanced “ethereal strips” [supercharged mystical chewing gum, essentially] to prevent himself from self-combusting
• Hugh Magnate has been forced into the role of ‘Emperor Belos’ against his will. And he is aware that he is living in a video game and has been trying to escape for years (to no success).
• Remember – *HUGH MAGNATE IS THE ONLY SENTIENT PERSON IN DR. STOPPE'S GAME!* The environment can be sentient, but the NPCs within it are far from!
• One of the final bosses of “The Owl House” is a temporally-displaced witch hunter from the 1600s (let’s call him Philip Wittebane) who will not rest until every witch and wizard on the Boiling Isles is eradicated for their “inherent abominable nature” – *remember that*
• Philip is not a sentient character, but rather an NPC programmed to spout lines that a Puritanical witch hunter would say (i.e.: "I will smite down those witches with God
• ‘Emperor Belos’ has considered striking a deal with Philip Wittebane, seeing as how if Philip “wins”, he’d crash the game by default [thus allowing ‘Belos’ to finally leave his prison]
• Dr. Stoppe could sell “The Owl House” to the world and make millions from it, but he views most of the public with utter disdain and “unworthy of such entertainment”
• Lilith Clawthorne was based off of an old

Now, with this context in mind
