The lone sob of Gus in the rain as they all come to terms with what's happened will haunt me until the hiatus is over

Gus being the one to full on cry is what got me in King’s Tide. As we all know, Gus is the youngest and most passionate about human culture. So seeing him finally here, a place he’s always dreamed about, sobbing just punched me right in the gut. He’s just a scared kid and needs his friends & family

Cartoons always make kids go through serious shit and then walk away fine as though they’ve been in the army for twenty years and are used to watching friends die. Steven Universe dealt with his trauma years and years after it happened, and even then it was skimmed. We never see Frosta break a sweat even though she’s a ten to thirteen year old girl fighting as a rebellion general. Dipper and Mabel save the world then go about their normal lives, just kind of ignoring the fact that they went through an apocalypse. Anne seems to forget about Marcy being stabbed pretty much the second she gets back home. Cartons always ignore trauma and how kids would have to deal with it and cry. But then there’s The Owl House. Specifically Gus.
None of the others break down immediately, even though they all know that their friends and family are are in grave danger and they’re stuck in a completely different realm. Gus, however, is only twelve. He’s not even a teenager. While the others (14 and 16) might be able to hold a little decorum, Gus is still just a kid. No twelve year old should deal with what he just dealt with, and is continuing to deal with, and any twelve year old would react exactly like that. Just another reason why The Owl House is incredible. Despite it’s magic, witches and curses, it’s realistic.

Camila walking around with a flock of kids with unusual clothing, pointed ears, and with uncommonly colored eyes, in the grocery store and whenever someone tries to ask about it she just says, “my foster children are really into cosplaying”

For real though, this was the biggest huntlow/winter moment because it was so unnecessary. Most of the crumbs we've gotten up to this point were very 'blink and miss.' But this? The crew is short on time and they know it. Yet here, in an episode (a season finale!) where the majority of battles were done in groups and everyone needed to be given time to shine, they chose to include this.
To single out Hunter for a damsel moment with Willow as his savior and with a blush to top it off. They didn't have to focus on this. And I don't think they would have if it wasn't important to them

Spoliers:Why Gus’s grief hit us so hard.
So Spoilers. So much pain in these last few episodes. In the last episode alone we witnessed so much closeness between our cast, and so much tragedy when everything they cared about was ripped away. And it ended in the saddest way it could.
With Gus just falling to the ground sobbing and all of us crying with him. Poor kid won’t calm down tonight..
But that’s okay buddy after everything that’s happened its gonna take all your friends and fans a while to calm down too.
We see a lot of characters cry this episode, the last half of it is very sad. So why does watching Gus cry beak us so much?
Is it because it is the first thing he does in the human realm, a place he has always been fascinated by and wanted to visit?
Is it because he is only 12 and the baby of the group?
Is it because Gus has spent 2 and 3/4 of the show as such a happy and bubbly kid and in the past couple episodes his happy demeanor has been steadily evaporating much to all of his friends concern?
Is it because there is absolutely no way to go get or call Perry to come help his son feel better?
Is it the subtle implications through out the show that, like with Camila and Luz, Perry is a widower and Gus’s second parent died a long time ago (,As we have seen in this realm children can come from either hetro couples or homo couples so its just as possible Gus once has 2 dads as that he once had a dad and a mom) and now he has lost both parents?
Is it how much hunter and Willow are shown to be trying to comfort and take care of him; and how Dana seems to be cleverly turning these three into a foil/parallel of the family that Caleb/Phillip/and Caleb’s wife could have been if Phillip had been able to accept his brother’s change in perspective/ new life?
Is it perhaps all of these reasons?

y’all i just realized
belos was LYING about his inability to control the curse???
like it’s clear that hunter has been hurt before because of belos’ ‘outbursts’ cause of his ‘curse’ (supposedly) and belos can’t control that but he clearly CAN?? like he zipped away the curse, instantly transformed back into himself to manipulate hunter, and tried to gaslight the collector all in his fully cursed form like HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK HE WAS LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING THIS ENTIRE TIME YOU MOTHERFUCKER

anyways my hope for season three is that when they do eventually find a way back to the boiling isles, luz will be able to come and go between realms as she pleases. kids go to boarding school all the time in real life and it’s not a big deal. she can go to “high school” in the demon realm and come home to the owl house for dinner and take amity to visit her mama on the weekends. the portal is a door. keep that shit unlocked
