#god this is like a really unprofessional essay lol

[royal-they]

I feel like a lot of people don’t realize how important it is for people to see ships like lumity and huntlow coming from a brand like disney that’s known for having ships that really is known to enforce a lot of beauty standards on to kids. 

lumity is definitely not “on brand” with disney but i feel like so much of the appeal in it comes from that fact. luz doesn’t fit disneys standards for an attractive girl at all. (she is very pretty tho don’t get me wrong) whereas amity is definitely seen by a lot of fans to be very attractive and i think that makes the ship even more powerful. luz doesn’t fall for amity first, amity falls for luz. 

i don’t think i can even explain how much this meant to me as a poc. like omg the hot gay witch that everyone thinks is super hot falls for the dorky brown girl??? that alone makes me love the ship 1000x more. its amazing that kids get to grow up with a ship like that that really flips tropes and cliches and is still so fun and cute to watch. it really teaches young bisexuals and pocs that; hey! you can totally find a super loving healthy relationship where the other person respects you :) ive mentioned in the past that i used to feel really self conscious of my lips but luz helped my overcome that. it’s a small but very important thing to me. i also used to always be worried about how partners would take me being bi, again luz was so helpful in overcoming that fear. 

huntlow is another ship that i feel is incredibly important for reasons similar to lumity. a lot of people are probably going to hate me for saying that lmao but idk i still think it’s very likely to become canon. again like lumity the character the fandom finds to be the most attractive falls first

some people say that willow fell first but I feel like given the fact that hunters been the only one who blushes a lot more people are gonna go “oh hunter likes willow” rather than “willow likes hunter” (i mean i think willow likes hunter but it’s not as obvious so im not gonna talk about that aspect of this ship and it’s not relevant to the point im trying to get across.) 

a lot of people have also said that huntlow parallels lumity in how lot in how their interactions are written and i really agree with that. hunter has from the minute his face was revealed always been seen as attractive by the fandom. i feel like people only really started saying the same about willow when hunter started showing signs of having a crush on her. 

willow like luz isn’t the conventionally attractive disney princess type. she’s larger, east asian, and more quiet. still through hunters perspective we’re able to see these aspects of her along with how she can still be confident and an incredibly powerful witch. 

just like with lumity the show allows people to stop and be like huh luz is actually really pretty and super cute or huh willow is actually really gorgeous and talented. we’re able to see these characters from the perspective of the people who are in love with them. 

at first amity and hunter both don’t really understand why willow and luz are the way they are. hunter and amity have been raised with the perspective of having to be better than everyone all the time so when they meet luz and willow - two very powerful witches - they dont understand why they’re approaching things with the perspective they have. but slowly they’re able to see a different side of them which in turn allows the viewer to also understand luz and willow more. 

we see hunter and amity have this moment of realization; huh it’s actually okay to let people see a more friendly side of myself that’s more open with people and that doesn’t take anything away from how powerful i have the capability of being. 

I think that just the fact alone that luz is able bring out the best side of amity and the fact that willow is able to bring out the best side of hunter is really cute and admirable. these two standoffish teens with self hatred issues are just are suddenly super soft around these two super sweet cute girls. idk i just really like these two ships.

Breaking Expectation

The first month after Philip left was like hell. You didn’t know what to really do, it wasn’t so much depression as it was loneliness. You ended up pulling another Alex and write it all away. “Write your way out. Write everything down as far as you can see. Write your way out until you can look up and see that history and he have their eyes on you.” So, you did. You wrote so much that quills actually felt comfortable, your cursive was sure looking a lot better. Your fingers were black and blue from the ink, Alex think you’re becoming a bit too much like him. You wrote a letter to Philip every chance you got, telling him about how everyone is doing, how Willy is trying to take his first steps, how Eliza and Alex seemed to be more relaxed. You were really happy for them. You wrote basically a whole essay about waiting for Philip.

“Wait for him, I’m not falling behind or running late. I’m not standing still; I am lying in wait.”

“Love doesn’t discriminate, neither does life or death and especially not time. If there’s a reason I’m still alive when I easily could’ve died than I’m will to wait for him.” It took you awhile to adjust to Philip not being with you, joking with you, debating you, teasing you and it was definitely weird not having someone flirt with as a greeting all the time. From what little you’ve gotten back from Philip you can tell he’s doing well. He was nervous about making friends but in a typically Philip way, everyone loved him. He’s never felt so challenged work wise but he says that you’re still smarter than all of the other students there. You’ve been losing many nights of sleep, you always feel like you’re running out of time to tell everyone what you’re feeling and thinking. You decided to distract yourself from your emptiness by trying to work out this time travel business. You weren’t sure what your end game was but you knew it was important and that you need to get somewhere with it.

             Let’s see…I was with Anna when a man with icy blue eyes shot me. I felt the bullet go through my head but I didn’t die. I woke up under the lamp post outside, no head wound at all. Just dried blood and a bruise that’s long gone now. The lamp post has a plaque under it that has letters scratched out, the only that’s visible is the term ‘nix’. Was I by a lamp post or anything on that night? Well, I was on the street so I had to have been by a streetlamp for sure. Does that have something to do with it? Ever since I came here I’ve had weird fever dreams and visions, what do they mean? I’ve blatantly changed history and yet the world hasn’t imploded or anything. Was it just a freak accident? Most of these questions you had no way of answering. But the lamp post one was at least worth a shot. You went to visit Alex in his study, knocking on the door he called out.

“I already know it’s you Titania, come in.” You opened the door and saw him writing as usual, glasses on and not paying much attention. “Was there something that you needed?” He asked.

“Um, yeah actually. I had a question about that lamp post outside.” He raised his head.

“What about it?” He asked curiously.

“There’s that little plague at the base of it, what exactly does that say?” You fidgeted nervously but he smiled proudly.

“It says ‘Phoenix’, we had that lamp post there to represent the rebirth of our nation and of my life with Eliza. We only had Philip back then, the war was still fresh on everyone’s minds but we were strong and grew stronger every day. We still are, if anything comes by to bring us down we will all rise up from the ashes and live because of it… Wait, why do you ask?”

“Oh, no reason really… I just saw it recently and noticed that some of the letters were illegible and was curious.”

“Hm, I should probably have that fixed, it has been a long time since anyone’s really taken care of it. I’ll see what I can do later.” Which is basically ‘Dadexander’ for ‘I won’t remember to do this.’ You left him to his work, even more confused now than you were before. Phoenix…rebirth and growth, live because of death, does that mean something for me? As you pondered the hundreds of possibilities, you walked down the halls and noticed Angie going past you. She was walking slowly, more like she was sulking, her head hanging down low and her hair was out of its usual pigtail braids. This was odd for her, she’s always peppy and lively, seeing her so downcast made you worried.

“Angie? Are you alright, kiddo?” You called out to her, she stopped and turned to you, a very forced smile on her face.

“Of course! Everything is fine!” You frowned at her attempt to brush her feelings off. Stepping over to her, you put your hand on her shoulder comfortingly.

“Hey now, I know Angelica Hamilton and I can tell you’re upset. Now tell me what’s wrong before I get too worried.” She seemed conflicted, like she didn’t know exactly how to say it.

“I, um, I have a, uh…crush…” A crush?! Oh my God! Angie!!! You smiled happily and tried to hold in a giggle. Wow, now I know how Rachel felt…

“Oh that’s adorable! You have to tell me! I promise not to tell the others! Who’s the lucky guy?” She seemed even more nervous than before.

“I… can’t tell you… You’ll just be upset with me if I do. I mean I’m not even sure if it’s a crush, I just feel all fuzzy and happy and like I’m dreaming when I’m around them!”

“Oh, it’s definitely a crush! Please tell me! I won’t be upset, I swear! I mean, why would I be upset?” She bit her lip at your question and looked around like she wanted make sure no one else would hear. Why is she being so secretive?

“You’ll be upset because…it’s not a boy that I like…” She looked down at her feet, like she was ready to be scolded. Wait, not a boy? Then what…Oh! The smile on your face grew and you quickly pulled her into your arms, hugging her tightly.

“I would never be upset with you over such a thing! That’s wonderful Angie!” Angie seemed to relax a bit in your embrace.

“Her…her name is Rosemary… She’s got really pretty blonde hair and green eyes…” You pulled away from the hug and saw that she was actually in tears. “I’m s-s-so happy that I could finally tell someone t-t-that!” She hiccupped. “I felt so ashamed! I’m, I’m not supposed to like girls and-“ You shushed her and tried her tears with your apron.

“Shh, this is not the time for tears. You should never feel ashamed about love. Even if other people don’t agree, that doesn’t make you any less of a person. You’re amazing and I will love you no matter what. This isn’t a bad thing, this is a beautiful thing and I am so happy that you told me this!” You gave her a little kiss on the forehead to reassure her.

“Really? But, what about when I’m older? I have to get married! I have to have children! Don’t I?”

“You don’t have to do anything! You’re a strong young lady who can do anything she wants! I know this is a lot to deal with right now but you don’t have to get married to a man! And kids? Pfft, you can always take in orphans! Just because they aren’t blood doesn’t make them any less yours! If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here for you okay? You’ll never be alone!” You patted down her mess of curls and she smiled.

“Thank you, Y/N…” She gave you one last quick hug before running off down the hall. I’m so proud of her, I love that girl so much, she deserves all the happiness in the world! You tightened the cloth around your head and took a deep breath.

Even if Philip isn’t here, there’s always something happening at the Hamilton house!
