Okay yeah I think I need to talk about that last Luz-Eda interaction, because it lives in my head rent free.

I feel like some people might consider that a Mama Eda moment, and I think that isn't really the case. It's not about Eda having a parental moment, because she has no idea Luz drew the picture.

Rather, for the whole episode, we see that Luz has repeatedly been told that she is lesser, a loser, weird, not good enough, living in a fantasy world, etc. And it's clear she has internalized this and felt the full brunt of RSD when Amity trashed her art. So obviously she's on edge when she sees that Eda is looking at it and fully preparing for another session of being talked down to.

Instead, we get an honest statement of appreciation of her work, and a rebuke of anyone who would discard it. By referring to it as "beautiful," Eda isn't just complimenting Luz's handiwork. Here, quite possibly for the first time from a non-family member, she's hearing someone genuinely admiring her expressing herself. That what she has to share with the world has value. That she has value.

Small wonder she becomes a sobbing clingy mess.

Fuck, I wish we got that in the final show, this fucking slaps.

I have to say, my last post about the TOH pilot made me realize that I do, in fact, miss writing posts talking about the show, and it's heartening to see that there are still people who care enough about what I have to say to read and engage with it.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

I just finished watching the leaked Owl House pilot, and one thing that struck me is how much better it was at showing how Luz was an outcast back at home and how that made her feel as a result. The whole motif of "Us weirdos have to stick together" felt a lot more personal and less like a lesson was being blatantly stated. And, of course, her final interaction with Eda about her drawing melted my heart.

Also, I think I said something similar about Separate Tides, but man, I always forget how fucking funny this show is. Yeah, there were some jokes we saw in the final product, but the extended book report sequence and the twist that it was in geometry class was hilarious.

And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Amity's presence here. Kinda wild how she was originally not just present but the reason Luz ended up in the Boiling Isles in the first place. Not to mention the seeds of their relationship being planted much earlier, with the complexity clearly evident.

Do I think every aspect of this pilot would have made a better show? Not necessarily, and I'm pretty happy with what we got. However, it would have been interesting to see a show that stuck more closely to this original vision.

Luz and Owls

A few months ago I had the pleasure of starting at DisneyTVA as Lead Background Designer on their upcoming show, The Owl House! It’s a wonderful show with a delightful (and amazingly skilled) crew and I’m super excited to be part of it!

(I drew this before I knew anything about the show beyond the initial promo poster, so there’s no spoilers or hints here!)

#i love the design we got but this is so good #imagine if the actual namesake of steven universe was responsible for her design that would be wild #the owl house #luz noceda

I love how Amity gets spinny hugs from the ones who love her best 😌✨❤️

Plenty of highly intelligent people end up getting sucked in to cults because they just wanted people to hang out with. There are antivaxxer nurses. Your ability to act on empirical reason breaks down fast if your social and emotional needs aren't being met.
