#I’m also in love with lumity god they’re so cute together

My Reaction to Thanks To Them

Took me two days to finish my projects first before watching this but it is definetely worth the antagonising wait.

Spoilers for those who haven’t watched it yet.

NO. WHY WOULD YOU START WITH THAT?! FROG DAMMIT, IM ALREADY CRYING AND IT’S ONLY BEEN THREE SECONDS

And once again, Anne made me laugh.

Wait...there are sponges that aren’t yellow?

Get Some Therapy Challenge: Failed.

Nah, that british gay man who dresses like a straight person ain’t human to begin with.

Goddamit, of course he shows up.

I see a picture of what seems to be Luz slapping a cake on her dad’s face.

Child, you need to get out more often.

Why would they freak out- oh. right, Abominations...

I wonder if Disney let a full season, we would have a more in depth scene about Vee meeting the others for the first time instead of this.

Hallway of pictures. There’s the dad throwing baby Luz in the air (that explains a lot about Luz) Chat Noir cosplay, 

Hate that I can see the dad’s full face, but it’s too fucking small for me to stare at.

Nevermind.

Pfft. I’m sorry, I had to rewatch this 5 times to make sure I’m not watching a fanmade amv instead of the episode. Also nice to include Hooty photobombing.

The amount of sadness with the drawings is just...

Designs. Gus, yes. Willow, maybe. Amity, maybe less dark colors and ditch the hat. Hunter, goofy boy.

Mirabel Madrigal.

VEE! MY BABY BOY!

Damn, that explains the haircut. Still miss the ahoge, though.

They’re so cute, especially Amity, I want to pinch her cheeks.

I prefer the non-romance cute. Lumity is so cute and wholesome that it’s disgusting.

Aww, the boys are having fun.

Willow looks like a mom with her hair down.

Is that spanish, I hear? I’m so proud.

I thought you were over that.

So Willow likes photography now.

Aww, Hooty’s there.

Vee is more babey when he speaks spanish.

Lmao. You’re gonna have three more kids once you meet King and the Twins. Maybe four, depending on the Collector. Or five, since Eda is kinda of a child sometimes. Wow, you’re gonna be busy.

Wouldn’t people find it suspicous to see four kids walking around town during school hours? Why aren’t they going to school, then again, it would cost a lot.

Babeys.

Luz, for the love of all things holy, get some therapy.

Pfft. Luz what the heck?

Aww, it’s nice to see other humans liking Luz...that better not be a prank...

Damn, imagine if Luz lost her dad from a car crash, this scene would have been really something.

Ugh, gross.

Dang. Nice, Hunter.

Babey Boy.

The back cover looks gay.

Flashbacks? Nice.

For some reason, I’m thinking of Marcy.

Oh, so it’s a nightmare.

Manny Noceda. Am I getting that right?

I’m gonna be honest, I have no idea what I should say about Camila’s nightmare.

Shit. I know this a serious moment, but look at the picture of Camila and Vee being cute together. Probably the last thing I should focus on.

You know that feeling where you feel like something’s bad is going to happen? I’m getting that from the egg.

Oh, god. That is disgusting and horrifying.

Hunter, no.

LMAO, Amity’s face!

Lmao, the Huntlow shippers are getting fed

Belos is gonna show up when Hunter’s alone, isn’t he?

God dammit, why am I always right? Can’t I be wrong for a change?

Lmao, Willow.

Are they watching Amphibia?

Gus is afraid of firelights. Amity is a mood with the circles.

WOLF! TO BE LIKE KING!

Siblings!

Is the shadow fucking necesarry

Luz looks weird smiling like that.

Wait, that black haired actress looks like Luz.

NO

Lmao, that’s saying it midly.

Huh, both of the siblings eyes glowed blue.

Fucking hell, he’s inside of him.

Damn, they went hard at the animation again.

Oh damn, having a basilisk on your team really is good.

AHH THAT WAS CLOSE. TOO CLOSE!

No...no...No! Hunter and Flapjack deserve to be happy together!

Lumity call back, I don’t remember which episode..

Aww...I thought Vee would be coming.

Lmao, Vee.

So Thanks to Them is just Season 3A jumbled together.

Wait...Thanks to Them....Thanks to Disney...LMAO

Escaping Expulsion!

           LUMITY! LUMITY DEVELOPMENT! LUZ REALIZING HER CRUSH!!!!

           Amity calling her MY Luz… Amity and Luz back-to-back! Playing tricks together that’s so ADORABLE!

           There’s so much to this episode, I… I…!

           Gus! His growth spurt will take a lot getting used to, it’s like watching your favorite kids grow up… At this point he may as well go back to Augustus! And Perry, I love seeing more of him!

           WILLOW’S DADS! They’re GOOD parents I tell you, they talk a lot about grounding or whatever, but then IMMEDIATELY drop their jobs for Willow’s sake!? To home-school her, to have fun! GOOD PARENTS! And the Glasses Dad, he’s a really chill dude, sees Willow going behind the back and is like “I won’t tell!” Nice. VERY nice…!

           BUMP! Not only do we get confirmation that he’s in the Abomination Coven, BUT HE’S A SWEETIE! He’s an utter sweetheart! This really all adds to my headcanon that he felt bad about what happened with Eda, and I bet he was being reminded a LOT of that when he had to get rid of Luz, Willow, and Gus… At least with Eda she more or less left of her own volition, but these kids WANT to come back! I love this principal and his layers… Also Frewin’s tail moving?

           I agree with Alador, and I find it hilarious that he doesn’t seem to understand Frewin that much either… Or he does but he’s still curious! Al IS interesting like Odalia said… Not exactly a good parent, but he is a man of his word! Also WOW he looks like an utter mess, nothing like the prim and proper noble we all expected! I guess Alador from Amity’s flashback was in dress clothes for Amity’s birthday and all that… But yeah he IS fascinating as Dana said! I guess he is the inventor as some people suspected…

           His whole demeanor matches his brief depiction in YBOS pretty well; Looking like he’s mostly just kind of THERE, just kind of chilling for the ride. Has his head in the clouds and focuses on the inventions, on the technical know-how, on carrying out the orders and seeing them through, while Odalia is the leader who instructs things- Just as we suspected! I can already see the neurodivergent Alador headcanons… If Amity is autistic, does she get it from him?

           ODALIA… Ugh. I mean, she’s about as rancid as we all expected, but it’s interesting that she DOES listen to Alador, so there is still that respect there! But JEEZ, she’s an attempted child murderer?! Goes back on her word!? I have to wonder if Alador was the original Blight actually, and Odalia was the one who married in; That, or Alador just has actual integrity and acts as like… The second voice who helps rein in Odalia and remind her of things every now and then. Interesting… But yeah, I loathe her!

           Of course, back to Al- He may not necessarily be so great himself. He does seem to prefer the easy path, the path of least resistance; He adapts to Amity standing up to him and Odalia by instead considering how she could replace the current Abomination Head one day… Which makes sense, that’s HIS expertise, and daughter takes after father! And Odalia really is an Oracle as we thought… Oracle magic for spying, makes sense, but that necklace…

           UGH… Remember when we all liked that necklace! How we thought it was SO CUTE? How Amity wore it at first in Adventures in the Elements… But then she rarely wore her casual outfit? WELL NOW WE KNOW… Here’s hoping the intro changes to remove the necklace, but WOW I was genuinely feeling sick in my stomach when I saw that!

           And Odalia and Alador are even WORSE, because they’re literally arms-manufacturers! Do I even need to explain why that’s awful? But I’m really having a lot of fun with the idea of Abominations as robotics; I’d considered the idea of Abominations melding with Automatons, and the show just confirms and validates that! I love this show… I have to wonder if we’ll see Amity and the Abomination Head interact more? And I like how Abominations is basically shape-shifting and form-changing, but applied to a magical goop that Abomination Witches can control…

           Belos and the Golden Guard! More worldbuilding- Of course Belos is monopolizing and taking things into his own control, he’s expanding his influence! And of course, as Golden Guard pointed out- Not only does he want soldiers –glad we’ll see more of these Abomination things in practice- but also… He doesn’t want anyone raising a private army against him; Which again fits with how Belos operates! 

          But the way Odalia and Alador look at one another… WERE they intending to raise a private army? Or were they always open to selling out to the highest bidder- With their desire to install Amity as the new Abomination Head, we might see them ally with a rebellion, but for their OWN purposes… With how their audience and customer base was cloaked, they may have been unknowingly selling to people with a vested interest and stake in taking down Belos!

           EDA AND LILITH! This show once again confirms my read on glyphs; Not containing magic, but more commanding the magic around them! Lilith is SO smart, figuring out how it works… And YES, I love delving into the mechanics! How glyphs are about COMMUNICATION with the Isles, that calls back to Adventures in the Elements! I wonder then if Belos can communicate with the isles too, possibly through glyphs…

           But we get more insight into their dynamic! Eda was always that talented kid, so she could always breeze the basics and get right into experimentation! It was good for critical thinking, but as we see, she can be really hyperactive and impatient… And of course, this frustrates Lilith, who is very stoic and rule-bound! God she was adorable this episode, how she clearly wants validation… She really is the embodiment of “My child is fine!” “Your child was a pleasure to have in class.” Couldn’t get validation from Gwen, so Lilith went to teachers…

           AND JEEZ, no wonder Belos’ approval meant so much to her! Maybe like Marcy and Andrias from Amphibia, Lilith kind of latched onto Belos as a potential found family figure for her… But as we know, she still had her own desires and wants because she IS a person and not a mindless drone.

           BUT YES, I love the show delving into how Lilith and Eda work as different people! Lilith is by-the-book, and Eda recognizing that Lilith’s methods have value, because Eda is really out of her own element here. I love seeing Eda experiment with glyphs, just the way they experiment with glyphs- I’m glad it’s not just Luz! Also it’s interesting… The show seems to imply that there really are only four glyphs in existence; Light, Ice, Fire, and Plant! That’s a shame because I’d have liked to see more glyphs in the future, just a few more…

           BUT YEAH, this hearkens back to that shot of Luz combining Glyphs in the trailer, and I’ve always hoped that mashing Glyphs can unlock more complex spells! I love this kind of worldbuilding where basic elements are combined in certain ways to yield more specific things, it’s making my worldbuilding brain buzz happily! And I love Luz just freely giving out stars… Lilith is SUCH an Elsa, and her friendship with Hooty is adorable! And here’s hoping that Eda uses that messed-up spell anyway, against enemies…

           Overall this was an AMAZING EPISODE, so strong! Luz isn’t dense, like Alador she’s just distracted… Oh dang, maybe my Luz and Alador parallels idea wasn’t so far off? BUT YES this show promises and delivers through on these characters! I do wish we got to see more of Willow’s thought process about Odalia and Alador interrupting her life again, but with how the episode is already jam-packed with glyph lore AND Luz’s own thing, and I can see why they had to leave it out- 

          But give her some more spotlight, please! I wouldn’t be surprised if some things had to be cut out thanks to Disney downsizing the show… Also again, it’s interesting that based on what this episode implied; The Plant Coven is the ONLY Coven to have such a close basis in nature. If there are only four glyphs in nature, theoretically there should only be four main covens…

           Belos, your system is beginning to look even MORE sketchy now! And dang, the revelations, the lore, the reveals… Not much of Emira and Edric alas, but what we got was short and sweet, and I love how they felt the need to be nice but also sneak in a prank, but Amity just sees them! And also CAT ABOMINATION, the fanart came through! 

          And Amity just immediately recognizing her girlfriend’s work to figure out Luz was there, I love it so much! Overall, an AMAZING episode that blew my expectations out of the water! Now after this we have Echoes of the Past, which promises even MORE in regards to King! I love that these characters are getting a lot of focus now.

           Also it just occurred to me, but yeah- Edric’s occasional air-headed moments, Emira being a bit more bossy and strict… As we all speculated, they get it from their respective parents!

           (Also Hop Pop cameo I see you TOH crew.)

The Owl House, Ep16

Well, Amity definitely has softened up, hasn’t she? It’s nice to see... what would be even nicer is if we got to see what’s on that lil pink note. She seemed rather panicky... what are the bets that it’s a love letter to Luz? She’s been getting real blushy and flustered as of late so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Okay... yeah. Sure. Let a giant ass monster live under your school and have a student fight it while your other students party. GREAT IDEA! Especially when said monster is basically Penny-fucking-wise!

Damn, Eda looking sharp in a suit, huh? We stan those GNC vibes, y’all.

“I’m a bad boy.” Nice. Very nice, Luz. Fuck gender norms.

Luz: knocks Amity into the gunky mud before helping her up.

Also Luz: sits down in the mud to be a supportive darling.

Oh Luz. She just wants to be Amity’s knight in shining armour so badly. It’s very sweet.

Aw. Baby’s having mama issues. I feel bad for her- Hooty! Luz is having a moment! Cod you please knock!

“If that bird tube talks to me again, I will destroy it.” Amity is a mood.

Oh... Amity wasn’t joking. She’s actually going to kill Hooty as Luz panics in the background.

“What’s the point of watching a kid get eaten if it’s MY kid.” Eda. Your mum mode is showing.

Can I just say how much I love how casual this show is about gay couples and crushes? Amity crushing on Luz? Normal. Luz crushing on all the Blight siblings? Normal. The two background gays dancing together all cute and shy and nervous? Normal. We need more media like this!

“Mama’s fun night out.” *snort* Eda has completely and utterly adopted this kid at this point. This is HER kid and I don’t think you can tell her differently 😂

*squealing* look at these babies! Look. At. These. Babies! They’re so adorable!

Pfft. “You’re not coming from a place of intellectual honesty so debating you would be pointless.” The kid ain’t wrong 😂

LUZ’S BIGGEST FEAR IS HER MUM! Oh ye Gods. That hurts. That really hurts!

“Stay away from her!” If I had a dollar for every time a teenager ran in to save their potential love interest from their worst nightmare, putting themselves in harms way in the process... I’d have exactly two dollars. But it’s still weird that it’s happened twice!

Oh. Oh, Amity, honey, no! The pain on her face just broke my heart! This poor baby was so scared of... was that... Luz? The hairstyle kind of looked like Luz’s but I can be certain. Also... Luz? I KNOW you did not just friendzone yourself! With a forced lil smile too! Gah! These kids! Such baby disasters!

Yooo! They did! The creators really had these two queer teenager girls dance together in a way that was very romantically charged! To fight a monster together! On mother fucking Disney?! This is huge!

“Who did you wanna ask out?” “It’s not important.” *note says Luz* *cue excited Defence squeals* and they went even further! They didn’t leave it up for interpretation! There’s no maybes! Amity Blight has a crush on Luz! This is huge, my dude! I’m so happy right now!

Oh hey. Another brooding sit by the window moment. That’s really gonna be trend now, huh? I mean... it’s a good trend so why not?

Aw. Typical mum moment. Calling texts “letters.” That’s adorable.

IT WASN’T A MUM MOMENT. SOMEBODY IS SENDING LETTERS TO LUZ’S MOTHER! But they didn’t seem to know how to spell her name. What the fuck is going on?

Aww... I love how Luz drags her important people into the photo and just full on pulls Amity into a tight hug as she just stares, all blushy and flustered. That’s so cute!

Oh god. My queer lil heart is so full right now. Do you have any idea how much I wish I could have seen queer rep like this as kid? Not done as a joke or a flaw. Not done as some grand and dramatic reveal. Just normal and healthy and sweet and okay! Because that’s what it is! And it’s about damn time we started showing that to kids.

For people my age... we may have not gotten that rep. But today’s kids are and that makes me so happy for them. Bumbleby, Bubbline, Catradora and now... what’s Luz and Amity’s ship name? I’ve seen Lumity thrown about. But that’s awesome and I hope to see more kids shows just normalising this sort of thing.

I’m very happy.

#the owl house #the owl house spoilers

[nodesiretogrowup]

ok, here’s my play-by-play

spoilers:

gotta love those parallels to the first episode

modern disney shows LOVE them some goats

she got monster catfished

Luz and King are me and my puppy. she likes to run off w/ things she SHOULDN’T be playing with (like my socks)

new opening is MAJESTIC

boop

I like that they animated the video footage to be all pixel-y

DAWWW, KING (maybe he can be her “pet" when she gets back home)

“She’s doing her best now” mood

I love the Thirty and Flirty mug I turn 30 in Sept so...relevant 

I feel like Lilith could hear Luz, because she starts to smile when Luz says that they could become friends

poor Hooty

to be fair to Lilith I would also slam a window on someone who popped up out of nowhere and scared me

show of hands-who thinks the Stab-Catcher is gonna come back at some point and be/be used for something important

KING, NO!

Eda STILL hit the bullseye, so King was probably safe

I don’t know why but “this week we’re bounty hunters” made me laugh. maybe because it sounds like the start to some reality show about some shmuck doing random jobs every episode

Luz showing off her GUNS to her mama

 GOD LUZ IS TOO CUTE

I also love that Luz speaks in Spanish when she talks to her mom

"I love you, Mom. I promise, I'll be back home soon." T_T

CURSE YOU POOR INTERDIMENTIONAL CONECTION!

“Do you own anything that isn’t COVERED IN FEATHERS?!” funny joke about Eda being a bit of a slob or foreshadowing?

also I want that shirt

“I’m trying to stay civil” *FUCKING KICKS A DUDE OVER* Eda, my love, never change

Eda had a bit of a Karen moment there

DAT GROWL! *swoons*

I really like the egg couple, they cute

Gun Show Round 2-Lilith

“heh heh, you’re a TRADER!” King likes to kick ‘em when they’re down

The Golden Guard is a stupid name. it REEKS of trying to be cool but failing, this kid’s a nerd. like, I wouldn’t be impressed by someone with that name I’d think they were a knock-off superhero

the “genius teen prodigy” hmm? I know people are comparing him to Eda, and rightfully so, but that could also apply to Gus. I mean, he’s technically a pre-teen when we first meet him, but STILL. 

I love that Lilith just says vomit. she really isn’t so above it all lol

Greg’s List, lol

I NEED TO SEE LUZ TAKING WITCH CHACKLING LESSONS

WANTED-YOU, A FRIEND! aw, hope that person finds a friend

ok, the Cutie Pie kind of disturbs me. THOSE DEAD EYES

I’d like to pretend Lilith and Eda are having two different conversations

MAMA EDA!!

“That’s rough, buddy” THAT’S ZUKO’S PHRASE

and King just takes his lollipop and pushes him lol

then Luz steps on him

“I can’t change the past, but I can still change the future.” a good mindset. and maybe foreshadowing some time travel in the future?

I really relate to Luz in this episode. I feel like a burden on my family, especially my parents because I’ve had health problems since I was a kid and am still living at home. they reassure me that I’m not but still

this episode gave me a lot of Treasure Planet vibes and I mean that in the BEST way

I’m mad that the captain is in league w/ the emperor, he seems like a cool dude

SHAKE IT EDA!

this is a realistic portrayal of siblings. one of my sisters will bring up the time I threw a remote at her

why did Lilith pull the spell out of the book?

HOOTY YOU NEED TO STOP SNEAKING UP ON PEOPLE

Bestie, Lulu. oh Hooty, I love you. who else kinda wants a Hooty nickname?

“We can find out their secret crushes! We can give them cute couple names.” HOOTY TOTALLY USES LUMITY TO REFER TO LUZ AND AMITY. HE IS ONE OF US

“A good friend would respect her wishes but a BETTER friend would help her no matter WHAT.” well his heart’s in the right place

I LOVE THE SHOT OF THE SHIP SAILING! TOTAL TREASURE PLANET VIBES

the stained glass windows on the back of the ship remind me of the windows at the Mystery Shack

pirate Luz is adorable

“I HAVE MANY DEBTS!” I love this dude

Luz has come SO FAR! MY SWEET CHILD!

King just hanging w/ the other “parrots”

YOU ARRRRRRH! PIRATE JOKE!

“BOO!” oh hush King, it wasn’t that bad

I love the little noises King makes

SO MANY TRIANGLES! King must feel at home lol

poor King

when we gonna get fire bee Pokémon?

didn’t think I’d feel bad for Lilith this early on

has Hooty gone out fire bee hunting before?

NOOOOO, DON’T MAKE HOOTY SAD

I DID NOT NEED TO SEE SOMEOME TIE THEIR EYELIDS TOGETHER THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I knew the moment we saw the selkidamus that it was a mama

at first I thought the ghost pirate was part of the Emperor’s plan to capture Luz and the captain was in on it

I love that Luz ends up with just cubes under her feet

PIRATE EDA IS SEXY AF

GG IS THEATRE NERD (I’m calling him GG because the Golden Guard is long and I don’t want to type it)

“Because none of you can use real magic.” I think GG is projecting a bit here. I think his magic is artificial/tech based

I bet that plant doesn’t eat flesh and GG was trolling them

I love this little shit lord

I feel like the selkidamus is just a red herring. GG doesn’t even take it in the end

I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t look like DANGLING. THEY’RE LIKE 2 INCHES ABOVE IT. YOU WEAK, GG

WHY WAS THAT SWORD MADE OF MUSCLE AND SHIT?!

aw, the whimper Luz makes

does GG really think King’s a bird?

King and Soos both conk out when it gets dark. wish I could do that

“I AM A WITCH...UNHINGED!” 

Lilith, you’re relatively smart, why did you use a FLAMMABLE OBJECT against FIRE BEES?

HOOTY COMES IN FOR THE SAVE!

“No witch is an island.” such wise words

Lilith clapping at the VIOLENCE!

this WHOLE SCENE made me WEEP! I could relate to Luz SO MUCH and Eda lets her know that she has made her live BETTER! SO MANY TEARS!

BABY!!!!! I find the selkidamus baby WAAAAAAY cuter than the Cutie Pie thing at the beginning

LUZ IS JUST SO SWEET AND EARNEST

GG finds King endearing? I smell a future plotline with these two

“Gross.” “YOU’RE GROSS!” these are children, someone help Luz come up w/ better insults

I bet King doesn’t smell and GG is just trying to act cool

“BY-EEEEEEEE” this child is in NO WAY straight

XP

I think GG might be looking out for Luz. he wasn’t gonna take her in, just Eda. and all he does is tell her to stay out of trouble because the Emperor is a bad dude. I think he might relate to Luz on some level, maybe even admires her (in a nonromantic way) for going toe-to-toe w/ Belos and being able to hold her own

aw, Eda looks so proud of herself, and she should be

I WOULD DIE FOR BABY SELKIDOMUS

selkigris. I remembered from and episode of Futurama that the whale version of this (I don’t remember what it’s actually called) was worth good money

that pose Eda strikes after she jumps in the selkigris, beautiful

and King found a skull

I HAD NO IDEA I NEEDED LILITH/HOOTY FRIENDSHIP BUT I AM HERE FOR IT!

Hootisfer! I love it! I want a nickname from Lilith!

“I’ll protect you, Hootisfer.” TOO CUTE!!

I feel like the KNEW they were being watched and the Emperor WANTED Luz to see him w/ the door. I bet he was PISSED when he found out no one saw him/heard his cool quip

I really enjoyed this episode. I think it was smart to limit the cast to just the Owl House crew and see where they are before we see everyone else.

I think GG might be like a magic clone/son of Belos mixed with some of Eda’s magic to make him more powerful/unbeatable. And that Belos might be planning to transfer his soul into GG’s younger body. And there is not a DOUBT IN MY MIND that Belos is actually a human. WE DON’T SEE HIS EARS! 

#the owl house #toh spoilers #oh how I missed you my love
