#I love willow and Gus' friendship it's so underrated

[the-gt-fairy]

That last post has got me thinking that,,,it would be so funny if Willow just kept accidentally spotting Gus, but every time she's just like I Do Not See. And once Gus realizes she had no interest in catching him, it turns into a game of Gus trying to make himself as obvious as possible and Willow trying to pretend that she's completely oblivious to it

Hi who is your favourite owl house character?

okay this is long:

Hunter: like he's very relatable to me that I'm like oh god I went through stuff. His panic attacks and anxiety and PTSD is so painfully relatable. I'm very much like hunter like of all characters in the I ever watched/read hunter is who I can relate to the most. I'm gonna cry if I explain more so yeah. And him(and amity) getting to choose his life. He survived and lived and has support he made it. Through so much abuse he survived and got to live. HE'S LIVING NOT JUST SURVIVING HE'S LIVING. He's one of my favorites plus I love his dynamic luz(big brother to little sister/traumatized besties) and Gus cause they're literally besties and brothers. Willow and Hunter it's cute I like how they're friendship started and how they get together it's cute. Darius being his dad is so adorable and wholesome AND the fact he's a Noceda like Camila basically adopted him. And guys flapjack guys he was the best he was Hunter's only bestie and family and who guided him to the right path like why did he have to die I love them so much. I'm happy that he found his true family. OH ALSO THE HEXSIDE SQUAD GOT TATTOOS OF FLAPJACK LIKE BRO THAT'S SO SWEET AND SAD AND CUTE AND WHOLESOME GAAH MY HEART. Hunter becoming a palisman carver and regrowing palisman trees with Eda and Lilith's dad and the bat queen is so wholesome.

King: I loved him from the get go I just did there's no explanation I just love him so much. I also understand his abandonment issues cause god I feel for him on so many levels. I understand how much he just wants to be loved. Also the family dynamic he has with Luz and Eda is adorable. Luz and king are one of my favorite found sibling dynamics. And Eda being the mom basically eeeeeeeee.

Eda: bro I love her chaotic self. I strive to be that chaotic. It's my dream to be her. I also just understood how she pushes everyone away so they'll be safe so she'll be safe. I get that so much I did that I still do. Just to run away from everything yeah I get that. And her love for Lilith through everything is just amazing her love for everyone is amazing. And her guilt I get that so much I don't know how to explain it. I love her so much. Her being the mom to Luz and King is soooo wholesome and chaotic. And raeda guys I love it. I'm glad she to love and trust herself and others. Eda becoming the principal of the demon realm college is literally the most ironic yet fitting thing ever.

Luz: she's literally one of the best main characters hands down. No argument. She has character development heck they all do. Her making us fellow weirdos to remember "us weirdos stick together". Her, Eda, and King are one of my top favorite found families. I understand not fitting in my mind's different from others and it's nice seeing it's okay to be different. And her gaslighting herself, her blaming herself (they all do it but especially her, hunter, king, Eda and Gus) like I get that I blame myself for everything even the things I can't control like Luz. Like she's willing to put all the blame on herself and hold it in god I feel that. I'm glad she learns to accept herself and not everything is her fault. Lumity is awesome I met a hater the other day and no guys they're awesome and sweet.HER FAMILY IS SO HUGE NOW SHE GOT THE HEXSIDE SQUAD, EDA AND KING, HER MOM AND VEE LIKE IT'S AWESOME AND ADORABLE AND WHOLESOME. Her choosing every elective and class and getting to go to both worlds is the best.

Gus: Guys Gus is so awesome and so underrated. Guys love him he's amazing. His anxiety and feeling overwhelmed and feeling dumb that episode(labyrinth runners) killed me. I felt that so much I was like god I'm not the only one. He feels like he's not good enough cause he gets used so cause he skipped a grade and showed talent like bro he reminds me of a friend of mine and Gus as a character reminds me as her. Like Gus knowing Hunter is a grimwalker and subtly showing Hunter he knows and how they'll always be friends like that's just prime bestie/brother moments. And they're handshake GUYS GUS AND HUNTER'S HANDSHAKE I CAN'T I LOVE IT. Gus becoming the human ambassador and human realm teacher makes so much sense.

Willow: I love her guys she's awesome. I feel her so much always trying to prove herself even though she's so strong. And she's always striving to be better to reach higher heights. I love that about her so much. She's the mom in the hexside squad she's always protecting everyone else and ignoring her own needs. She never just lets it out and bro I feel that so much. Her breakdown and her just letting the bottle inside her break god I get that. I always keep stuff in until the bottle breaks but she also just lets everything out so it doesn't consume her. And too me that's so amazing that's so brave of her and I wish I could do that. I love that she becomes a professional flyer derby player and captain. Also the trio friendship between luz and Gus and then Hunter and Gus I love it. And the fact she reconciled and became better and closer friends with amity bro I don't think I could do that. I admire willow so much.

Vee: I wanted to see more of vee but I love vee so much as a character. I find her a sort of parallel to Luz. But obviously different since Vee was forced to come to the human realm where as Luz more or less chose to come to the demon realm. It's cool how Luz wasn't accepted in her human home but she was accepted into the demon realm(more or less) and vee who was accepted into the human realm(more or less) and they're sisters because Camila is awesome and she's a great mom. I also just love vee's personality and how far she's become. I love her vee and we should of seen more of her.

Amity: Okay this is one of the few times I like the former bully become an amazing person. Like I didn't want to like her even after I saw her redemption in season 1 it's just that she's rich and I had problem with rich people well now the problem doesn't really exist cause dang everyone's rich at times I will be pissed at them ngl. But when I watched toh at the time I was very deep into my hate of rich people. But later I couldn't hold onto that hate cause amity is a literal cinnamon roll who I guess can kill you but she's sweet. Her sibling relationship with Em and Ed like that's literally how siblings act it's awesome. I love her character development like she was a stuck up rich mean girl snob to I'm trying to change but I'm almost three to I'm a literal cinnamon roll who can probably kill. I also just love her style like I want her style so much. And her abuse by odalia her ex mom reminds of my own abuse it's obviously different but the gaslighting and emotional manipulation yeah I get that a lot. But her and emira and edric survived and that's amazing. And Alador being a good dad was great and breaking a toxic partnership and relationship like that's brave. I love how she was able to rebuild her friendship with willow(and that took time and tribulations) that they became better friends. Anyway amity is awesome and yeah. Her tomato face is funny hehehe

The owl house came during when my life shifted from a former traumatic experiences to me trying to accept the fact to another traumatic experiences and hardships. These characters all have aspects that I see in myself which makes it all so relatable. I felt seen through many different characters in different ways. The Owl House was a lifeline for me and I'm so happy it was in my life. I really can't pick a singular character cause I really do love them all (except for belos/Philip, kikimora, the coven heads(not counting raine, Darius, and ember- I love them so so so much) and weirdo messed up modern witch hunter dude, oh also boscha and luz's principal and the haters). But the owl house was during there for me and it still is. If I ever meet Dana I'm gonna thank her so much. I also love Lilith and hooty and the CATS and STEVE GUYS STEVE, and Darius and Raine and ember. AND CAMILA LIKE SHE REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF MY MOM THAT MAKES ME LOVE HER SO MUCH AND BE MORE UNDERSTANDING OF MY OWN MOM. OH ALSO THE COLLECTOR GUYS THEY'RE ADORABLE AND WHOLESOME and yeah sure they're an overpowered child but we love him. Also I love emira and edric I love the twins they're chaotic they're loving and can be relatable also they're the definition of older siblings. If I had the time I would do a whole essay on the characters I love/like. Cause no way could I type all that in this post. But yeah sorry for the late and VERY LONG reply!

Gus for the ask game? :) he’s one of my favourite characters

OOHHH OK!

Feelings about him: I LOVE HIM!!! HE'S SO UNDERRATED AND CUTE AND BADASS AHHH HE'S MY BELOVED

Romantic ships with him: HIM AND MATTY YAYYY but they're very cute as best bros too!!!

Favorite non-romantic relationship with him: OK HE AND WILLOW'S FRIENDSHIP IS SO CUTE, THEY'RE LIKE PLATONIC SOULMATES!!!! ALSO HE AND HUNTER HAVE SUCH A CUTE DYNAMIC AWWW

Unpopular opinion about him: he deserves WAYY MORE APPRECIATION and he also has the best clothing taste in the friendgroup! he's also one of the funniest characters in the show along with Willow😁

One thing I would've wanted for him to happen in canon: hmmm he has quite some stuff in canon but maybe MORE BACKSTORY AND MORE OF HIM ON SCREEN WITH LUZ AND WILLOW AND AMITY! Ohh and Matty too!!!! AND MORE OF HIM BEING A BADASS AND HIS TRAUMA BEING MORE EXPLORED!!!

Favorite friendship: again, him with Willow and Hunter OHH AND he and Luz have a cute friendship too!!!!

Crossover ship: none

[asmodeus542]

Wow. Wow, wow, WOW! What an episode! Now before I get into that part, I really gotta talk about my boy Gus.

It's no secret that Gus has been an underrated character for a long time now, but this episode was major improvement for his character.

His illusions caused Willow to get hurt at school. He moved up two grades, so you'd think he'd be a natural. While he is skilled, he's still a child, so we get to see him fail and mess up from time to time.

Throughout this episode, Gus has a crisis. If he's not good at illusions, can he be good at anything? He doubts himself, and this is gonna sound bad but I love it! He's becoming a more three dimensional character.

I love these two so much! Luz and Willow may be best friends, but Luz is such a big sister to Gus. Reassuring him, making him feel better, telling him to go flaunt his stuff to the Glandus kids to prove himself.

Illusions are all Gus knows. He impresses these jerks with Luz's Glyphs but when he runs out, he has to return to illusions. It stops the "guardian" but that's just because he was surprised.

In the end, with encouragement from Matt of all people, Gus is able to create his most powerful illusion yet! Last season, Gus messed up Luz's "Welcome to Hexside" sign and today we saw him create illusions that can grab hold of people! I cannot wait to see where Gus's story goes next. This episode was perfect for him! And I do hope he and Matt build a better friendship.

Alright, let's get into this now.

They are both disasters now I love it! I know people will complain about the pacing of this relationship, I've already seen it, but TOH is only getting two full seasons and a shortened third one. I'm fine with a quicker pace for Lumity if it means more development on lore and the overall plot.

They were blushing messes the whole episode so I'm skipping to the end. This killed me. I honestly didn't think we'd get angst but, again, I love it! Love makes people do stupid things! Her intentions were good but Amity still broke rules.

Gotta be completely honest, I am not a fan of the hair. I understand why she did it, I just don't like the color. I hope it grows on me, I really do, but right now I'm sorta in the middle. I'm still rooting for her natural color to fully return before the series finales. Anyway about the kiss.

Ajdjsngrkslckg oemz dgiwisbdyk kdmckcskdjejsjcktnekd be brjeoskejrkwiki!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think it would happen but it did! A small peck and it was adorable!! Oh my good, I almost screamed but I didn't want to disturb anyone! Oh my god! Now that that's happened, I can't wait to see how Lumity progresses further.

And finally, Philip. We didn't get as much information as I wanted from the first human but it was a great start. When you've watched cartoons as long as I have, you learn not to question the abilities of magical mice. I can't wait to find out more about him. His hair is similar to Belos' in Dana's drawing but I'm not holding my breath. I wouldn't be surprised if he was an ancestor but I don't think they are the same.

In the end, it wasn't my favorite episode of the season but it did great wonders developing so many characters! Can't wait for next week when Luz gets her Palisman!

What I Thought About "Through The Looking Glass Ruins" from The Owl House

Salutations, random people on the internet who most certainly won’t read this! I am an Ordinary Schmuck! I write stories and reviews and draw comics and cartoons!

When Disney announced episode titles/synopsis for the new season (On a day that left my head SPINNING!), there was one episode that I knew deep down that would cause controversy and discourse amongst the fandom. And that episode was "Through the Looking Glass Ruins." Not because it would be bad, far from it. Instead, because the episode was a Gus episode with a Lumity subplot, that meant that discourse would start as fans decide which story they prefer more. A situation that, might I add, would result in no winners.

Do you prefer the Lumity plotline? Well, guess what! You're a racist who chose to talk about an overrated ship rather than a heavily underrated character who just so happens to be a person of color.

Do you prefer Gus' plotline? Well, guess what! You're a homophobe who decided to shine a light on a character who's underrated for a reason instead of praising a ship that just so happens to involve two girls.

Either side you pick is going to result in making people mad. The only way to avoid that is by explaining in heavy detail that you still enjoyed one side despite preferring the other. Even if you loved both, you'll most certainly have to explain to everyone that you mean it and that you're neither racist nor homophobic. And all I have to say is this: F that.

F that S in the A right now.

Because I, or anybody else for that matter, shouldn't have to explain myself when it comes to saying why I prefer one plot line or the other. I shouldn't have to prevent getting ripped apart by some bulls**t, black and white mentality of people who can't accept that others like a show for different reasons than they do.

You wanna know what I think about "Through the Looking Glass Ruins?" Well, continue reading to find out. You'll have to make your way through spoilers, but it's the only way for you to learn why I consider this episode not worth any discourse that I'm already certain is cropping up.

Now, let's review, shall we?

WHAT I LIKED

The Opening Scene: I'm kind of digging how snappy and to the point these opening scenes are getting. In the span of what has to be less than a minute, we're given all the information we need to know: Gus is insecure about his illusion magic because he accidentally got Willow injured. It's a great way of setting up why Gus wants to prove himself to the Glandus students and a great way of showing how much Willow's friendship means to him. Look at how he's reacting a few days after the incident. He's still mopey and guilty about it, and I feel bad for the little guy.

Gus in General: And while we're already talking about him, let's give this episode a round of applause for giving Gus the spotlight without having him screw over his friends...except for Willow.

"Through the Looking Glass Ruins" really fleshes Gus out much more so than past episodes. As I said, it plays heavily into his own insecurities while proving how he's capable as an illusionist. He's also the best possible outlet to explore more about what illusionist magic can really do. It can't hurt anybody or work well in a fight. Instead, its strengths lie in the act of convincingly tricking others into thinking that something that should be fake is actually real. And Gus got to prove he really is a super witch because of his illusions through a jaw-dropping scene that's as dark as it was enthralling. The fact that he did it all by himself, without the help of an illusion elder who was right there, is honestly even more impressive. A lot of people aren't that interested in Gus as a character, but I feel like, after this episode, he certainly won a few more fans over.

Willow Getting Injured and Missing the Episode: This is a smart move, in my opinion. Willow acts as the voice of reason in the friend group, so if she tagged along with Luz and Gus right away, she would have easily talked Gus out of joining the Glandus kids on a dangerous quest. I love Willow, she's a solid character, but writing her out is really the only way the plot could have progressed.

(I also love that she wasn't mad in the slightest over Gus getting her hurt. She has every right to be, but she also understands that it was an accident, and Gus wouldn't do anything to purposefully hurt her. And that's sweet!)

King’s Prerecorded Message for Gus: That's just adorable. We need more cute friendship moments between these two, DAMN IT!

Gus Being Sick of Luz’s S**t: Of all the characters I expected to get sick of the whole Lumity situation, Gus wasn't really one of them. I'd always thought it'd be Willow, primarily because the rest of the fandom latched onto that idea, but for Gus, I'd figured he'd be more supportive rather than annoyed. That being said, seeing him call Luz out for borrowing his library card to see Amity (Not ask her out. Just to see her) is not only a hilarious moment for Gus but also an adorable moment for Luz. It's something I would never have seen coming, but now that I have it, I want more. GIVE ME MORE!

(Sorry if I'm being a little intense)

Luz Trying to Cheer Up Gus: It's moments like this that prove why Luz is my favorite character.

Willow might have the most common sense out of the group, but it's Luz who still has the biggest heart. She knows her friend is down in the dumps, so Luz pulls out all the stops in cheering him up. Whether it's researching the first-ever human (really surprised he wasn't the tiniest bit excited about that, by the way) and lending him glyphs for his mission to help show up Mattholomule. She may be slow in the romantic relationship department, but episodes like this prove that she excels with a platonic friendship.

Bria: I consider Amar adorably optimistic, and I have no strong feelings for Gavin, one or the other. But with Bria? Holy hell, did the writers do everything they should with her!

At first, it seems like she'll be a generic nice girl for Gus to have a crush on. Only for that writing to be a perfect twist into how she's kind of the worst. You see hints of her true personality in the overly sweet way she threatens to force Amar to eat a bug he gets distracted by. A viewer's initial reaction to that would be to think that while she's sweet, she still means business. But no, it's actually a perfect way to reveal her true intentions while hiding them at the same time. Bria may be rotten to the core, but with how perfectly executed this twist was, I can't help but adore her contribution.

Mattholomule: ...I would sooner expect to have gone insane before believing that this little s**t weasel would make his way onto my good side. Despite that, here we are in episode five of the new season, and I like Mattholomule now.

The reveal that Glandus High forces students to believe that the strong survive and the weak are inferior explains so much for Mattholomule's thirst for power in "Something Ventured, Someone Framed." It doesn't excuse his actions, not by a long shot, but it definitely paints a clearer picture. It also explains his treatment of Gus, as well as Mattholomule's reasoning to help him. Because of Glandus High inserting a "the strong survive" mentality into Mattholomule, he belittles Gus due to thinking that illusion magic makes Gus weak. But after seeing how they're both stooges to Bria's mistreatment, he's quick to apologize and willingly helps Gus out. In the process, the two of them create a believable and cute friendship...a friendship that is absolutely going to be interpreted as something else by the fandom...which is something that I'm more than supportive of--HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! I WENT FROM ONE OF THE BIGGEST GUSTOLOMULE DENIERS TO ONE OF ITS SUPPORTERS IN LESS THAN A DAY! HOW DO THESE WRITERS MANAGE TO TAKE ELEMENTS THAT WERE ONCE ON MY S**T LIST TO THEN MAKING ME MORE THAN OK WITH THEM!

IT'S INSANE!

Mostly impressive.

BUT ALSO INSANE!

Edric and Emira: More so than ever, I am so happy that the writers took their course correction with Edric and Emira. These two work so much better as supporting characters rather than minor antagonists like several fans thought they would be after their treatment of Amity in "Lost in Language." They're quick to pick up on Luz and Amity's mutual affections for one another and do their part to help their friend and baby sister out. It's wholesome to watch, and, you know what, I'm gonna go ahead and say it: Edric and Emira Blight are much better mischievous twin characters than Fred and George Weasley. As much as I adore Fred and George, there is an issue how they're always referred to as Fred and George, not Fred or George. It's because their personalities are as identical as they are, so separating them is pointless. With Edric and Emira, they have enough individuality that you could enjoy them separately as much as you could seeing them together. Emira is more emotionally supportive in how she listens to Amity vent her frustrations about her feelings, while Edric is more of a doofus who can't take a hint to save his life. It creates a great set of characters who can potentially work well on their own. I hope they get explored more at some point, but for now, I'm happy with the cute moments these two offered already.

Lumity Moments: BUUUUUUUUUUUUT, nothing compares to the cuteness of these two.

I don't care if I'll be called a racist for it because these! Moments! These moments are the highlights of "Through the Looking Glass Ruins" for me! Seeing these two interact in this episode, now that the pining is mutual, was everything I could have ever hoped for, and so much more. Seriously, how can you complain about anything about all of this when you get cute bits like:

Luz getting flustered of seeing Amity with her hair down

Amity risking her job to help Luz

Amity being motivated to find the diary due to the possibility of a date with Luz in the human realm

Luz going through hell and back to get Amity her job back

All of the blushing

And that F**KING KISS AT THE END HOLY SH--Don't you dare think I'm not going to further discuss that. DON'T YOU DARE!

Gus' story was entertaining with how it surprised me in all the right ways, don't get me wrong. But seeing Luz and Amity's relationship develop more and more always fills my heart with glee that, believe it or not, I'm always going to remember it more. I love you, Gus, but I love Lumity more.

Philip Whittabeen: So we finally have a name to the alleged human who was here years ago, and we get properly introduced to him through a really visually appealing animation change. I'm personally curious to see where the writers go with him, but it's too early to say if his inclusion will be worth something. But I will say one thing, though. One thing, and then I'm going to move on.

Here it is:

Philip sounds eerily similar to Emperor Belos to me.

That is all I'm going to say about that.

Luz’s Sentences in Spanish: I want to give a personal shout-out to mi buen amigo @l-egionaire for pointing this out because there are some things to analyze in what Luz says in Spanish in this episode. Knowing what she means, it's clear that they are ideals that Camila instilled into Luz. Ideals that possibly show a lot about Camila's personality on top of revealing where Luz got her hopeful optimism and sense of determination. It's the second sentence that Luz says later on that I really want to delve deep into:

"Nada funcionará a menos que lo haga funcionar."

Translated, that means "Nothing will work unless you make it work." Again, this proves the dedication that Luz has filled into her soul, but to me, it says a lot about Luz's dedication to Amity. She wants to make this relationship work but fully understands that it won't unless she puts in the effort. It's a sweet sentiment that says so much about how Luz feels about Amity that some fans might not be able to pick up on if they don't speak Spanish. Or, in my case, have a good friend who finds the translation for you (thanks again @l-egionaire).

The Galderstones: Pretty interesting concept, I'm not going to lie. It's also interesting that of all the types of witches in the Boiling Isles, it was illusionists who were the ones that guard over the Galderstones. Because illusion magic can't really harm anyone, it makes a weird type of sense that they would be the ones to keep the Galderstones out of the wrong hands. And, even better, it showcases Gus' strength as an illusionist when he was able to take down Bria, who was hopped up on Galderstone power, through that same "harmless" magic. It just goes to show that if you have a big enough brain, you don't need to overpower somebody. You need to outthink them.

Malphus Being a Surprisingly Cool Dude: What can I say? I'm a sucker for expectation subversion.

Luz and Amity Crying: First of all, a HUGE round of applause to VAs Sarah-Nicole Robles and Mae Whitman through their vocal performances in this scene! They really sold how upset and broken apart Luz and Amity were due to their feelings for each other messing things up. More so with Sarah-Nicole.

Second, this might be the closest these two have gotten to a confession so far ("so far" being the keyword). I specifically latch onto Amity's expression after hearing Luz agree that she's always weird around Amity. In one way, it looks like Amity is surprised to see she made Luz cry, but in another, it could be that she realizes that perhaps that Luz has feelings for her as well. Or, at least, that's how I interpreted things. The thing about art is that there's no one interpretation to agree on. And that's what this scene is: Art. It's performed, written, and animated well, that no matter how you look at it, it's a masterpiece.

“I’ll call the hounds”: One line. One line was all it took for me to love the Keeper of the Looking Glass Graveyard.

Amity Dyes her Hair: I always assumed that Amity would let her original hair color grow out as defiance to Odalia. But dying it lavender? Thus crafting her own identity without having her be compared to either Odalia or Alador?

...yeah, that's brilliant. Whoever thought of that, you are a genius and deserve all of the credit that comes from it.

ALL of the credit.

Amity Kisses Luz on the Cheek!: I'll save my "Wha-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo" for an actual kiss, but for now, THIS IS AWESOME!

This moment, much like other Lumity moments, was everything I could have ever expected and so much more:

Amity's instant panic after realizing she seriously just did that

Ed and Em looking fondly at their sister taking such a big step

The look on Luz's face, which may or may not hint that she realizes that the feelings are more than mutual

And the fact that Luz's legs give out soon after Amity leaves

It was adorable as all forms of hell, and it was a perfect way to end such a perfect episode...or, at least, an almost perfect episode. I do have some issues.

WHAT I DISLIKED

Mattholomule Helping Gus too Easily: The Glandus kids were right there, in-ear and eye-shot, yet did nothing as Mattholomule effortlessly helped Gus and the Keeper escape...how?

Gavin falling for Gus’ Illusion: I want to laugh at how stupidly easy that was...but it's too stupidly easy for me to forgive.

And that’s about it. Just two nitpicks that don’t really take away that much enjoyment from the episode

IN CONCLUSION

"Through the Looking Glass Ruins" keeps Season Two's winning streak going by being another solid A. It fleshes out characters, develops cute relationships, and keeps the story going despite being so character-driven. It's easily more than worth the time...but it's not worth any discourse that comes from some fans preferring one plot over the other.

I highly doubt that some people are racist for loving the Lumity plotline or homophobic for loving Gus'. Maybe some people are, but also consider that maybe, just maybe, a person loves a ship because it's their favorite, or a person likes a character cause he's their favorite.

Which.

Is.

Fine.

There's no definitive way to like a series, and demanding that people like it for the same reasons you do is not worth anything. Because, believe it or not, even Dana Terrace doesn't care how people love her show. In the AMA she did, when a fan asked if she's upset about fans obsessing over Amity's crush on Luz, this is her word for word reaction:

"Not at all! No, the main focus of the series will never be on any romantic thread but that doesn't mean those threads aren't important. And I'm thrilled that people connect to our characters!"

THERE YOU HAVE IT! The creator herself fully admits that she doesn't care what fans latch onto. She's just glad to have people who like the show in the first place! So don't create discourse just because some people enjoy a part of an episode more than others. The second you get that through your heads, the sooner we can all move on with our lives.

(Also, that's five episodes in a row that are hits. And, man, is that stinker going to hit harder because of it.)

Owl House for the blorbo meme :D

((Thanks, I just started watching Season 2 :D))

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Like most people, it’s Eda. Luz is a close second!

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): I just watched the episode where we find out how Eda met BABY KING, so yes, it has to be King.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): I really do love Gus and Willow and I wish they appeared in more episodes

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): In the Season 1 episode with Luz’s first official day at Hexside, she meets this group of students who want to study multiple tracks just like her, but they’re ostracised because of this. There’s this one girl, Viney, who wants to learn healing and beast-keeping. I just really liked her friendship with Luz and I’m glad she was allowed to study both of her passions after that ep.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): …Lilith… Yes, she’s horrid for cursing Eda (as a teenager) and even worse for trying to bring Eda in to the Emperor. But she’s starting to grow on me in Season 2… She started trying to be the perfect ‘student’ for Luz, and she wants to do everything by the book— I can relate to that. And I like her friendship with Hooty! I hope she gets an even bigger moment to redeem herself.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): I know King isn’t a dog… but then, he is dog-shaped. I would torment him by constantly bringing up his cuteness, a lot like Luz does.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): That guy who would make wannabe authors (like King) sign contracts and then he would shrink them down and put them in his suitcase if they failed/refused

[bikamalas]

 A NOTP I have with said character: yue/zuko. I don’t get how anyone could shp those two romantically they’re not compatible at all

A random headcanon: yue loves crafting and jewelry, that’s what she and aang bond over

General Opinion over said character: I love her! she’s a great character and I wish we got to see more of her like a backstory or something. she’s one of my comfort characters hehe

for gus:

Sexuality Headcanon: I don’t really have a specific hc for him aside from that he’d be on the ace spectrum

Gender Headcanon: another nonbinary king

A ship I have with said character: I’ve read a few fics about him and mattholomule but mattholomule is kind of an asshole so I’m not very invested in it

A BROTP I have with said character: him and luz are nonbinary besties! and ofc he and willow’s friendship is awesome too.

A NOTP I have with said character: any characters aside from mattholomule ffs

A random headcanon: I can’t really think of any on the spot the ones I have can’t be fit into one ask hjkll 

General Opinion over said character: I love him so much! he’s precious and very underrated imo

[willowsrage]

Willow and Gus for the character thing pls!!👀

So sorry for the late response! Forgot this was in my drafts lol

Willow

Sexuality Headcanon: Pansexual! I feel like she wouldn’t have much care for looks or gender, and would look deeper into a person.

Gender Headcanon: Transfem (She/Her)

A ship I have with said character: Willuz, and sorta kinda Huntlow? Not a huuuge fan of it, but we’ll see.

A BROTP I have with said character: Steve 😳

A NOTP I have with said character: Gus x Willow (idk what their ship name is) and Boschlow

A random headcanon: She has a tiny crush on Luz, okay? Just a tiny one so far. CANON.

General Opinion over said character: I love her and relate to her a lot, arguably my favorite character in the series.

Gus

Sexuality headcanon: Bi! Dw this was before the whole Bree thing

Gender headcanon: Cisgender

A ship I have with said character: Nothing atm

A BROTP I have with said character: This doesn’t really count but I want to see more of his friendship with Luz. We see plenty of just-Gus-and-Willow and just-Willow-and-Luz but not of Gus and Luz.

A NOTP I have with said character: Oh geez there’s a lot. Gus and Willow (again), Gusolomule, Guz, and a few more I can’t remember.

A random headcanon: I cant think of anything for this section.

General opinion over this character: Love him. He’s super underrated. I don’t have many strong opinions over him but I think he’s a cool guy.
