We do need to acknowledge that The Owl House probably wouldn't have taken off the way it did without Lumity, but some people Also have to acknowledge its still a beautifully written story with diverse representation and complex themes that are helpful for its viewers, even if you were to remove Lumity.

#bird tube show #im tired of seeing people say “TOH would be so mid without lumity and it doesnt deserve its fanbase” because it simply isnt true #it covers grief. abuse. mental health. messy family dynamics and their healing. puritism. finding yourself. etc. etc. etc.#all on top of its diverse representation of race. gender. sexuality. body shape and size. neurodiversity.#its rep for physical disabilities is muchess diverse but its THERE in a main character no less!#we see a character with an invisible physical disability (within the universe of the show) and shes still seen as powerful and strong #and we see when it gets worse and shes not able to cope as well shes still revered and seen as strong and capable #and near the end of the show she literally becomes an amputee and is STILL seen as strong and capable and powerful #none of the representation or themes are forced and theyre all well done and help people who see themselves in the characters #you could remove lumity entirely. make their arc a platonic one. and you still have all this story and tons of other lgbt rep #PLUS BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION MIGHT I ADD #whatever rant over. TLDR yes lumity is amazing but its not the only amazing thing about the show.
