I'll be expecting for you to where "that" shirt from now on, if you get what I mean :)

It's funny, between Zamber and another reactor I'm a patron of doing Owl House, The Geordie Nerd, he's a small part time YT from the UK, I realized I've only seen bits and pieces of Hot in Cleveland which stars the lovely Windie Malick who voices Ida so I'm gonna check out the entire series. plus it has Betty White in it, and I love me some Betty White. I know it's off topic but it's a funny show.

I feel you on that, I'm always happy to see more inclusion of gay couples in cartoons, I mean all the religious right's arguments have been destroyed, stating with it doesn't happen in nature when all research shows yes it does. Dolphins have been proven to do gay activities as well as many other species including apes. I only specify these 2 because they are the most intelligent species that practice it, other species like large wild cats (lions, tigers, and the like do) and monkeys as well. sorry to rant you made a great point and I wanted to add on..

I only went to my junior prom with a group of theater friends and danced with some of the most attractive girls in my school because I was friends with them, it was great. I didn't bother with Sr. prom because many of the lovely ladies and lovely guys as well had graduated by then, so it would mean less to me because I had less friends in my own grade lol. I got along much better with upperclass students. I had a few friends in my own year but because I took advanced classes I had tended to befriend them much more than my regular classes. Made my senior year my most lonely year, I worked a full time job after school and spent more time with my co workers and partied with them instead. In my youth I was always too mature to fit in, and in my older years I'm sometime too immature to fit in.

the animation was storyboarded by the same person who did the eda and lily fight

I honestly feel if they continue the way they are going right now with luz and amity they could be the new gold standard for how to do a gay couple in cartoons without it feeling forced at all

Zakry Esch

I normally feel lgbt themes are often forced into shows in maybe not the most natural ways but this is exactly the kind of representation i want soooooooo much more of where its just part of the character and is not the main thing about said character and isn't something they mention once out of the show and never done anything with for seemingly diversity points

In the Elements episode, Amity drew herself in some romantic fanart with a boy, and Luz blushed for both of the twins. So they’re both bi. I’m wondering how long it’ll take for Luz to realize Amity has a crush on her. Luz definitely seems oblivious for now, thinking it was just “as friends”. I kinda want to see an episode where Amity keeps trying to subtly get Luz to notice by being flirty, until she ends up having to just be direct and tell her how she feels. Also, damn, that dance had even better animation than the Eda’s v Lily fight!

Trivia. Molly Ostertag, the writer of this episode, is married to Noelle Stevenson (She Ra). After her wife brought the first bisexual protagonist to Disney, Noelle surprised her with a cake inviting her to Grom. Also, Disney was resistant to Luz any LGBTQ subplots, but Molly and the staff wore them down during the long production.

This is definitely one of my favorite episodes if not my absolute favorite, it was absolutely AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ALSO LUMITY IS EVERYTHING AHHHHH! I have really high hopes for Lumity after this episode, hoping it goes well

Woo this episode was good! :D my wording is a bit off bc I'm hella tired but I here I goo I dont think Eda is the one that's sending Luz's mom the letters though, especially now that she's showing her maternal side a lot more. I dont think she would make Luz stay against her will like that. But I do think it has to be someone in the Emperors Coven specifically Lilith or Emperor Belos. My theory is someone in the Emperors Coven wants Luz to stay in the Boiling Isles long enough for her to be captured and held hostage by them, then they would try to bribe Eda into turning herself in for Luz's safety. But anyway MMM there was zero heterosexual explanation for this episode and it was gorgeous.
