i mean she wrote this entire episode herself so it only makes sense to see all the personal connections she makes in Luz, both very wholesome yet sad :(
Is nobody gonna talk about how Amity is learning to speak spanish and drawing glyphs just to be closer to Luz? As Elijah said, I hope everyone find a relationship so sweet and supportive like this one
The way that they each helped one another to reach out to their fathers even when they thought it was impossible to do so…Luz and Amity really were meant for each other, man
Can we talk about how Amity rejecting Alador’s hug and opting for a handshake was treated as completely normal and unproblematic? Like. Yes. YES. Boundaries being respected?? A CHILD’s boundaries being respected by a PARENT?!? HELL YEAH
Dude let’s applaud the maturity of Amity. That end scene where she decides to shake her fathers hand rather than hug him, is super powerful and shows her self respect. Things aren’t yet perfect between them but it’s getting better.
Though he definitely seems to love her, he has been known to completely ignore his kids, and let Odalia abuse them. So I can see how it would be heartbreaking, I can see him realizing this and understanding
I'm so glad Dana did a episode about something that isn't always mentioned. Everyone always assumes that the Dad just leaves and doesn't want to live with the mom and her child-- when in reality it's so much different. My mom lost her father when she was 18 in her senior year of high school, still to this day she acts the same way Luz did when it was the day of her Dad's passing. Dana and the crew did such a amazing job with the emotions in this episode
Part of it may have to do with the fact that Dana lost her own father in a car accident at only 11 years old. She probably went through very similar grief and could project those similar harsh feelings through Luz.
Well, my dad left our family when I was 3 years old. Many years later he tried to get back in touch occassionally, but overall he's just not a good person and I ignore him. So does my mother. My brothers once got duped by him too, not sure if they still keep in touch, but yeah honestly some people deserve to be cut out and you're better off without them. So many people keep in touch with asshole family members because they think family is some sort of sacred bond you can't ever get rid of but that's BS. There's even the whole "blood is thicker than water" saying except the original saying has the opposite meaning - "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" - which would roughly translate to 'Your chosen family have a stronger bond than your biological family'. Something I can relate to. Surround yourselves with people who love you for who you are and won't sell your house without your knowledge and run off to another country.
Yeah I can relate with this so much. My dad passed away this year from COVID but I am glad he got to see me graduate from University. I don't speak about it either cause it makes me want to cry every time. Yeah my parents were divorced but I never told anyone that besides a few people. However when he came back in my life I started to feel closer to him after so long
I lost my father fifteen years ago now and it still hurts to this day; I cried as soon as Luz mentioned her father. In my mind I could relate to Luz wanting to distract herself because it's exactly what I did as well. This episode made me want to go visit his grave since I haven't had a chance to go in years
I love the expression that Amity gets when Luz tells her about her dad. Absolute shock and dawning dread. Because it's not just about the fact that she just learned about Luz's dad being dead, or the fact that, that day was the anniversary of his death. It's also the realization that she knows the face that Luz was making, that look of almost carefree joy. Because she's seen Luz making it, multiple times now. And now she finally realizes what it means. It means that Luz is scared, and stressed, and overall just doesn't know what to do. But she doesn't think that talking about it would help, so she puts on a brave face, and goes about like nothing is wrong.
Writers: So we disguised a very character development episode and named it Knock Knock on Hooty's door and also further drive Lumity into cannon. And now you want to subtly show pain. loss of love ones and angst and heartbreak and hide it underneath a brawl fighting tournament? Dana: Yes. Writers: TT^TT
“I don’t have any flowers” cue the tears cause that DESTROYED me having a tradition with family to honor one who passed away and not being there hurt cause the way Luz looked so heartbroken
Luz is in dire need of a hug. Her voice breaking, inability to stand, the tired look on her face and Amity’s shocked face says it all. This was so sad. And to think we all thought Belos was Luz’s dad (at least, before we first heard about Phillip) or that he divorced with Camilla. On a more positive note, Amity’s new look and Ed getting some screen time is nice.
14:30 - THANK YOU, I’m starting to see people say they’re “tired of Lumity” already and I’m just??? Do some of y’all not realize how hard it was to get up to this point, ESPECIALLY in children’s animation? Please do realize some of us literally never got to feel so represented up until now 😭
I think it's more the frustration that people want more of the main plot and not that they don't accept the representation. I am going to be 100% honest here,I've been there too. I mean.. to be even more honest... I am bi but where I lived, despite there not really being representation in the media it never bothered me at all. One time I heard of "being gay" randomly and I asked my mom what it means and she just casually said "oh that's when instead of liking a boy you like a girl or if you're a boy you like another boy. some people are like that." And that was it. I understood,didn't question it again and took it as a normal thing. So I personally don't get the excitement that for example this reactor gets and sometimes I grow tired when the plot doesn't move and the show becomes more about the two than the overall mystery. And there's a simple reason for that too.. the show didn't present itself as representation and romance focused when it started. It was a mystery show with beautifully drawn characters and magic. And a lot of people want exactly that and find out more. So when the focus of the show isn't what it started with they get frustrated. Personally I think that is valid. I wouldn't condone hating on the show for it since it's the writers choice what they want to do with it but I will just say I understand the "tired" people too.
@@jos-josradvanji6203 I totally get where you’re coming from. I will say that some people’s parents either paint being lgbtq+ as a negative thing or try to deny it’s existence. You had parents who were accepting and never made it a big deal, so it’s probably more normalized in your mind. But for people who didn’t have that support, I imagine they would connect with the representation more.
Even for straight couples we rarely get to see them be together in animated shows. It's always this big end of the show thing or immediately has to be broken up through some drama. I love how much we can see Lumity just being with each other and growing.
Season 2 so far in a nutshell: 1. Pirates 2. Mommy Issues 3. Abandonment Issues 4. Mommy Issues (Part 2) 5. Sapphic subtext becomes text 6. Pet adoption 7. Heartbreak and adoption 8. Sapphic text becomes canon 9. Love and transactional relationships 10. Identity theft 11. Parades and promotions 12. Time travel! 13. The Spy Who Loved Me 14. Daddy Issues
The entire scene where Luz tells Amity about her dad felt real. The facial expressions, the music and the grom tree It was the perfect place for them to talk.
As someone who went through the exact same thing, I can tell you that that scene is probably the most real in the entire show. Which makes sense bc Dana also lost her dad when she was a kid.
There is a theory on the internet that the abomination's alarm triggered Luz's PTSD about her dad passing away with the ambulance horn sound, which explains why Luz is so aggressive toward that sound.
I love how real Luz and Amity's relationship feels. Like their not always perfect and mess up sometimes but they still love each other and are willing to work through it together.
It’s the horror in Amity’s eyes that sells it. The full realization of what sort of weight and pain Luz is going through, how the unshakable girl she loves is shaken by this; knowing that the calm is a front and there’s so little she can do to let her know it’s okay to be hurt.
I also love how Luz said "This is not an excuse for what I did." Like, hell yeah, to establishing that an explanation doesn't equal an excuse but people can choose to forgive you based on it and how you act after apologising.
the passive aggressiveness in Amitys voice when she says, "I'll help you pick some flowers- and we'll do something here!" had the same energy as jacksepticeyes, "Hey you, your f*cking beautiful! and I'm very proud of you!"
When Luz said “I don’t have flowers”😭 and when she couldn’t get up, also Luz said that you gotta know what you need when making the glyph plant, so when Luz and Amity made that tree does that mean that Luz needs Amity? And Amity needs Luz? 😭😭 Omg their love for each other is growing so much.
I kind of wish we had seen Amity carry Luz back home in the final scene as a somber call-back to “Wing It Like Witches”, even if it cost us the Camilla/Vee cameo.
23:15 Realizing the parallels between this and the moment after the Witch's Duel where Amity was overwhelmed and Luz ran out to find her is just making me cry all over again.
I was looking forward to your vid since I saw the episode. This episode firmly cemented Lumity as THE healthiest couple I have EVER seen on television. They communicate, they're supportive, and they're understanding. Yes, Luz has been lying and keeping things from Amity, but we already knew she has a tendency to consider herself a burden to others and will do everything she can to not be and foist her problems on them. Both girls have emotional baggage but they may be just what each other needed to start processing and healing that. Also, kudos to Dana and the crew for the realistic depiction of dealing with grief, NOT make Amity instantly forgive her father, and for sidestepping all the relationship drama clichés they could EASILY fall into with Lumity. Whatever your "brand" is, Disney, fuck you for not making THIS a part of it.
I totally know what that weak legs felt like for Luz. Trying to hide the pain the whole day, trying to be tough and trying to not make it a big deal despite how big of a deal it really is inside. I was a closeted gay but had a secret boyfriend and one day he just dies and I had to act like I was just sad cause I lost a friend. And the day I came out to my family and friends I just felt so weak that I fell to the ground shaking. But with words of assurance and validation from my friends and family, I started to feel strong again. So I totally loved it when Luz saved the day. She lost a family member and got her strength back because of her girlfriend. While I lost my boyfriend and got my strength back because of my family and friends. Feels surreal to feel connected to a character.
bonus points for all the Blight kids using magic beyond their specialty _even though_ they kind of suck at it. Edric: Beasts and Potions Emira: Healing Amity: Glyphs
When I saw Darius mad at Alador for winning, I laughed so hard my dog thought I was having a stroke or something. Anyways, this episode had me in TEARS, I recently lost an aunt so this hit so close to home. Also, I’m making a wig like Amity’s hair because I love it WAY too much.
Edric just looks fucking adorable. I love him in this episode and his hanging out with Eda... she's a great influence for him. kinda like an adopted auntie. I have a feeling that when this done, Eda would make a great school counselor.
My guess is that Darius is something of an abomination "purist." He relies only on his own skill to make his abominations powerful. Alador is of course skillful as well, but seems to spend a lot more time building contraptions to enhance his abominations rather than use his own magical skill to do it. At the very least, they have different professional opinions.
I was emotional when I watched the episode but watching Elijah react, pause and talk about the details made me teary-eyed...I loved this episode so much I stayed up till 4:30 am making a short edit... Never stop pausing at Lumity...I love your reactions 😭💖❤
I’ve watched the Owl House multiple times. I found your channel through Wee Scottish Lass and her reactions, and her reaction to this episode always made me tear up. I’m happy to say the same thing happened with your reaction, honestly I needed some crying release. I also wanted to take the opportunity to praise and thank you for these reactions. I’ve genuinely enjoyed them a lot, and I appreciate your explanations of why this show means so much as far as representation. As a straight man, I can only inherently conceptualize so much
The way Luz’s voice broke and how she could hardly stand, it broke me. Same with Amity’s shocked face. It pains me to see these two being in pain, especially with them together.
I think a concealer stone is a stone that illusionists can use, to put their magic in so that way they can sort of, shape-shift and hide what they really look like personally I think that Odalia always wanting them to look perfect, and the twins being sick of the mantinace, just got these stones so they wouldn't have to work, to maintain their appearance
Luz had every right to be upset, imagine losing one of your parents and your girlfriend or boyfriend complains about their relationship with their parents. We all know we can’t chose our parents but we can’t take them for granted regardless if you don’t have a good relationship with them or not. I felt so bad for Luz throughout the whole episode cause I tend to do the same thing with my best friend and others and I know it’s hard to opens up to others. All I can say is poor Luz and it’s sad how she kept saying that it was fine,when it wasn’t and it showed how much it still affects her.
I’m so happy we got a not just lumity, but an amity centric episode. Of course if amity is in an episode there will be lumity moments, but I love that that’s not the main focus of the episode. It was great to see how far amity’s character development has come and it was amazing to see that she’s opening up to her dad and they’re bonding. I love that this episode really shows amity as her own character and not just the other half of lumity, or just Luz’s girlfriend. She’s her own character.
Don’t get me wrong, every time a lumity moment happens I freak the hell out because it’s amazing to see the representation, but I love seeing it shown as a regular, healthy relationship rather than one that stands out as abnormal, or that has to be fought extra hard for to be recognized as a real relationship in the demon realm. Because in the boiling isles homophobia doesn’t exist. So Luz and Amity’s relationship is just like any other relationship between two kids their ages. That’s what makes it so special in my eyes because they’re not treated like they’re different than any other relationship just because they’re both girls.
Also I said amity centric but I just meant like, there’s a lot of time spent in this episode focusing on amity and her relationship with her dad, and not just showing her as an extension of Luz.
@@Miguel-so4ql Honestly, I think it’s better if you don’t know the synopsis, that way you’re going in totally blind. But I can give you a hint👇 Ya like Raeda?😏
You know, my emotional dysregulation stops me from having as emotional a reaction as you have to these episodes, so I really appreciate you being here and expressing what I can't, it's why I love watching your videos
When I saw the episode, my only concern was: "Oh Titan, Elijah will not be able to make it through!" This is the reason I love Lumity so much: they are the supporting pillar of one another!!!
@@ericbrower611 No, sorry. Lumity is the secondary plot and The Day of Unity is a tertiary plot. The main plot is about a misfit girl trying to find her place with a new family.
@@ericbrower611 while lumity is great I do think a lot of people completely sideline the plot and ignore everything that isn’t them and that’s just a real shame since the rest of the show is amazingp
I…never met my father…he left me when I was really young. Although he’s still alive, this episode still resonates with me when dealing with absent parents…dead or alive. Such a timeless episode of loss, parents and a healthy couple.
This episode hit me like a truck. I lost my dad about 8 years ago, so I absolutely relate to Luz. But I also had a very difficult relationship with him where I struggled until the end to get his approval or attention, so Amity's issues resonated with me, too. I got punched in the gut from both sides, woo! But honestly, this is one of my favorite episodes of any show that deals with loss or parental issues. I've seen it at least 10 time already, and will likely continue coming back to it if I need a good cry.
Amity’s “That was Mom’s dream” is relatable for me because I always wanted to make my mom proud, and always pursued to be good at school, but when the time came for me to choose what I wanted to do, I was blank, I couldn’t choose, and despite my mother telling me to choose whatever I want, my fear of disappointing her overwhelmed me, and even though I’m about to finish studying my career, I still question myself if I chose right, with the exact same fear of disappointing her. And I didn’t have my father because my parents are divorced so I didn’t have his point of view, I know it’s not like Amity’s dad who is so invested in work and providing his family to notice what they really need, nor Luz’s deceased loneliness after his dad passed away, yet I feel like something was missing from my childhood, that could give me a better perspective of my present and my future.
How you’re feeling is understandable. Validation from a parent is important, and since you only have one parent in your life, it makes sense you’d be afraid of losing that praise and support. My advice for you would be to talk to your mother. It’s important that you get to explore and find your own hobbies. This is your life, not your mothers. No matter what you choose, she is still your mother, and she will still love you regardless of your career choice. There’s a chance she may not like it at first, but she will get used to it in time.
As someone who lost both my parents at a young age, the way Luz talks about her dad is scaringly accurate. Saying that is not a big deal with a smile in her face (which most of the times it really isn't) but there's always those gray days where it hurts like it was something that just happened that day and it's a feeling that never goes away no matter how many years go by... That shit hits really close to home.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope everything is going better for you now. I also lost my mother over 3 years ago and I know how hurtful it is, but I guess sometimes it's nice seeing people who understand these struggles, even though it's just through the Internet.
Lo más lindo de este capítulo es que en la versión español latino Eda dice mi "HIJA" en lugar de estudiante los lo mismo pasa con Alador al final el dice la "HIJA DE EDALYN" fue hermoso 🥰😍❤️
The Lumity was amazing. But it wasn’t enough to fend off the tears from Luz’s Dad. Edit: Can’t wait for the next episode. Considering it’s about Raine and Eda we might just cry again.
This episode had it all. Angst from tensions in the relationship. Goofiness from Ed and Eda. Sadness from our 2 lovebirds and their relationships to their fathers. Not to mention some fantastic animation and action to round out the awesomeness.
I like how the style of the flowers luz and her mom picked were very similar. And that the vase her mom puts it in is abomination colored, just like amity's balloon
Honestly, in both episodes we’ve seen him in Alador has reminded me of Entrapta, but like an exhausted Entrapta. I’m glad he finally seemed to realize in this episode that he’s been a neglectful parent, and hopefully one day when Odalia is arrested for being Evil or something, Amity and the twins will have a decent parent left to live with.
I swear Dana Terrace is over in her at her desk like: "how can I make fans go even more crazy about Lumity". On a side note the whole thing with Luz's dad is just heartbreaking to me. Screw you Disney, The Owl House doesn't fit our "quote on quote brand". This show and the team behind it deserves way more respect.
If you’ve seen Lilo & Stitch 2, then you know of the scene where Stitch is standing in the rain. He whimpers a bit, tries to keep himself from crying for a brief moment before erupting into full out sobs and pounding on the ground. That is going to be me at the end of each Owl House episode from here on out. I have accepted it. I will not fight.
This episode is definitely my new #1 favorite! Disney has no clue how much potential it is flushing down the crapper by not giving this show a proper final season!
Bruh we aren't even halfway through S2B and this plus Follies are easily my fav ep of the second half. I legit don't know how they are gonna top these but we all know they will.
Elijah wasn't ready for Luz to drop that bomb. 24:48 Also I love this look of concern and guilt on Amity's face, you can tell she instantly regrets getting angry at Luz.
Did anyone notice that the vase Camila put her flower 🌸 in looked like Amity’s abomination balloon 🎈 turned upside down. It might represent the fact that their in different realms, but they still are similar with the flower ritual.
My dad passed away 6 years ago, when i was 15, and this episode is something very significant for me, i mean, i feel very identified with Luz before, but now, wow, is to much. this show is my life
I am EXACTLY like that while reacting to TOH in terms of appreciation of the representation we didn't have. I hear a lot online about how it's "disgusting" or "creepy" (not to mention other stronger stuff) for 30+ year old to like cartoon stuff and ship their couples. We didn't have any of that. And every little tiny show of affection between a non-straight couple in a kid's show is a huge deal. Not to talk about the awesome way they grow as a couple and deal with problems as a couple plus their own issues. It was just unthinkable before and not something you could find, even less on such a big company like Disney. So...i do too pause and replay and freak out at every little show of affection or any act that show them as an actual couple.
1st. I’m glad you enjoy them. I’m not an artist like you guys are, but I still wanted to show some support in my own way. 2nd. Holy Crap! I sent that out like on Thursday. I wasn’t expecting it to get there so soon.
For me, the big thing that made me cry in this episode was Amity’s face when Luz told her that her dad died. She realised she’d been holding in all this pain and it hurt her to know that Luz was in pain
So much Lumity, watching this episode I knew she was going to pause and talk about every Lumity moment, and was ready for it. Luz spinning amity around saying so pretty was beautiful, Luz father passing was just heart breaking. I love this show. Last thing. I hope luz and Amity have a dinner date with the clawthorn family on one side and the blight family on the other if we get this in the season 3 special I would want Vee and Camila there too, and just let the episode play out with odalia thinking this is the family I will be attached to through Amity being with Luz. odalia and camila meeting.
24:16 and I think the siren the abomination set off triggered something for Luz. How she immediately panics not in her usual goofy way but she was genuinely distressed and scared.
I had an isolating, abusive step-mom who called herself my Dad and my own savior. I had a loving mom who died when I was ten. This is my favorite episode of the owl house.
As a member of the “had an abusive parent” gang, I’d suggest therapy. Helped me loads in getting over the abuse my dad put me through. There’s different types of therapy, and I’ve found gestalt therapy to be really helpful.
“I hope for all my fans you find somebody to do this cute shit with!!” Elijah you’re so sweet and I’m claiming this energy 😭😭💕 if u don’t have that yet yourself I’m sending the same vibes back to u 🥺 I didn’t notice Eda and Raine in the bg until I was scrolling through TOH Reddit after the episode and it’s one of my favorite things about it!! The fact that they managed to write a compelling, adorable, angsty, older semi-main queer couple for a kid’s show is just AMAZING. Sometimes I feel like I love Raeda even more than Lumity and that’s saying a lot!! Eda calling Luz her child for the first time too and EDRIC ARC I was a mess this episode
I'm usually not one to cry at like shows, movies, etc. The only other time was when the girl from Oliver Twist got murdered. But dang it when I saw Amity's face after Luz talked about her dad I definitely teared up. All I could think afterward was that Elijah had a big storm coming.
This just makes the scene from Yesterdays Lie even MORE heartbreaking in retrospect, because now we know that from Camilas perspective it was like losing the last bit of family that she had left…
It also says something about her views on Luz's past interests. Although she found them (for the most part) to be endearing, she may have also worried that it might be a little bit of acting out on Luz's part.
i really love the way they set up luz finally letting amity in and realizing amity WANTS to help her and that her problems aren't a burden to those around her as a contrast to the way eda and raine's relationship ended because eda wouldn't let raine help her
The fact that when Luz told amity about her dad she kept sort of downplaying it with the "it doesnt bother me, it happened awhile ago", breaks my heart. Luz is the selfless protagonist, but im glad that the show makes it both a blessing and a curse
This was such a heart-touching episode... I think we all want to give Luz a hug after that one. I'm so happy for Amity who's also come so far and she's making her own decisions and being the person she wants to be :') LUMITY MY BELOVED
The animation during the scene where Luz talks about her dad is beautiful. The colors, I don’t want to call them muted, but how somber they feel… Amity’s expression when she realizes how much pain Luz has been keeping bottled up inside is just… it’s a gut punch. The real star though is Sarah Nicole Robles’s voice acting. She always does good work and I love how she plays Luz but this is most genuine I’ve ever heard her. And it’s a subtle performance too, which is so hard to do in voice acting! The whole scene is just so sincere and it hurts me every time I watch it. Owl Crew, you did amazing. Got me all teary eyed.
Whomever drew that look of absolute shock on Amity’s face watching Luz come clean about her grief deserves a big raise and a spa day, HOLY SHIT.😭👏🏻👏🏻 Sarah-Nicole Robles knocked it outta the park with her voice acting during that entire scene, and I can’t imagine how personal that episode must’ve been for Dana Terrace to write considering she lost her dad around the same age as Luz. (I’m of the opinion that Luz’s dad died in a car accident just like Dana’s, since the 🚨 on the Abomaton’s head must have reminded her of ambulance sirens going off in the aftermath of the accident.)
Character development counts from storytelling so when Disney wants emotional stuff as Dana did in that episode. So emotional and very powering. I loved that episode. Cannot wait for Eda telling Luz everything on the next episode. GREAT REACTION, GIRLFRIEND! U ROCK!
im remeber i once wore an owl house sweatshirt to the dance class that i tought and one of the girls came up to me and was like “is that an owl house sweatshirt” and we just chatted about toh and it was just so cool how i just had a casual convo about lumity with a 10 year old and she was really hyped about it:)) it honestly made me really happy that little kids have watched this show and love it as much as i do
This episode was probably my favorite just because during the whole show I found myself relating to Luz, and seeing that her father passed away when she was young made me feel even more connected because my dad had also passed away when I was young. The way she acted in this episode related so much to myself. I was dating at the time and in that relationship I was always trying my hardest to help my partner build a bond with her parents, it never occurred to me it was a comfort thing until I watched this episode. Definitely an amazing show, I hope there will be more like it in the future!
Lumity is one of the best couples I've seen on television to date. Their respective maturity in these tense situations that truly tests the strength of their relationship for the better everytime something new comes up and their love and support for each other is one of the show's defining strengths. They are such a power couple and I love it SO much.
SHE DID THE CRUELLA VOICE!🤣🤣🤣 Love that concealment stones are basically magic makeup 😂 I need those instead of spending two hours every morning shaving and choosing my outfit 😂
It's a neat detail that Emira is learning Healing Magic and Edric is learning Beast-Keeping magic since both of the the Blight Twins have been shipped with Viney who studies both of those types of magic
This episode was rough for me but I loved how real it felt. As someone who lost their dad young I can understand the little things that just remind you of who you lost. I love this episode so so so much. Thank you.
I straight up WAITED for you to react to this one. I fell in love with this episode not only cause of Lumity moments, but also I relate to Amity's issues with her dad. I wanted to cry the whole time
Hi Elijah, I just realized something at the end of this episode. Luz sent pink lilly's to the human realm, and Camilla put a white Lilly in a vase. So in a way the both did pick flowers for the dad. I'm not sure if lilly's were the dad's favorite flower but I'm guessing they were. So in the end even though they were separated they still were able to keep the family tradition alive. That just warms my heart so much. This was one episode for the books due to the raw and authentic emotion it brought out not just in the viewers but from the chacters as well. I hope in the next episode we can have some more clarity on how the father passed and maybe have some lumity going after their mother issues. Because the more I see it they have both mommy and daddy issues which makes this all the more relateable and I'm interested to see how Dana will tackle it. I mean I know luz doesn't have it as bad as amity when it comes to this issue but still after the talk that luz and her mother had before she left the human realm a few episodes ago. I'm really curious how Dana would be able to tackle this but that's probably towards the end when we get clarity on luz and amity's mommy issues which I'm okay with. Anyways, just thought I mention that little thing I noticed towards the end. Have a great day everybody, love you all! 😀😝😉☺💜💚💜💙❤
I watched this episode just a little while after my dad's death anniversary. It meant so much to me to see ( albeit in fiction) someone who could also relate to that loss. Definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series.
If I recall correctly, Dana Terrace's own father passed away when she was young. So writing this episode must have been especially emotional for her.
Wait really? I never knew that.
Didn't know that either, but it is true
Oh really? Awww. This must’ve been her way of expressing that pain, and it was very sentimental.
Daaaaaang 😨
i mean she wrote this entire episode herself so it only makes sense to see all the personal connections she makes in Luz, both very wholesome yet sad :(
Is nobody gonna talk about how Amity is learning to speak spanish and drawing glyphs just to be closer to Luz? As Elijah said, I hope everyone find a relationship so sweet and supportive like this one
Healthiest relationship I've ever seen in any media.

Dude let’s applaud the maturity of Amity. That end scene where she decides to shake her fathers hand rather than hug him, is super powerful and shows her self respect. Things aren’t yet perfect between them but it’s getting better.
Poor alador tho, alador actually loved his daughter unlike odalia and being rejected to hug his own daughter would be pretty heart shattering
I said the same thing on Morgan Terry's reaction video.
We love a queen that knows her boundaries and how to set them!
Though he definitely seems to love her, he has been known to completely ignore his kids, and let Odalia abuse them. So I can see how it would be heartbreaking, I can see him realizing this and understanding
@@noahasmr8609 im really glad he's realizing and seems to be willing to try to put in effort to change things
Dana confirmed that there’s no homophobia in the demon realm, and people just love who they love.
Aww that's so wholesome ❤️
I mean like, why would there be?
Steve liking Damian wouldn't really be an issue in a world where people have bigger fish to fry.
CAN I LIVE THERE!?! I really don’t want to stay here and deal with people that are homophobic
damn wish it was a real place 😭
On the other hand, I get it but on the other hand I’m just way too interested to see those kinds of reaction from ppl so it kinda sucks ish
I'm so glad Dana did a episode about something that isn't always mentioned. Everyone always assumes that the Dad just leaves and doesn't want to live with the mom and her child-- when in reality it's so much different. My mom lost her father when she was 18 in her senior year of high school, still to this day she acts the same way Luz did when it was the day of her Dad's passing. Dana and the crew did such a amazing job with the emotions in this episode
Part of it may have to do with the fact that Dana lost her own father in a car accident at only 11 years old. She probably went through very similar grief and could project those similar harsh feelings through Luz.
Well, my dad left our family when I was 3 years old. Many years later he tried to get back in touch occassionally, but overall he's just not a good person and I ignore him. So does my mother. My brothers once got duped by him too, not sure if they still keep in touch, but yeah honestly some people deserve to be cut out and you're better off without them. So many people keep in touch with asshole family members because they think family is some sort of sacred bond you can't ever get rid of but that's BS.
There's even the whole "blood is thicker than water" saying except the original saying has the opposite meaning - "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" - which would roughly translate to 'Your chosen family have a stronger bond than your biological family'. Something I can relate to.
Surround yourselves with people who love you for who you are and won't sell your house without your knowledge and run off to another country.
Yeah I can relate with this so much. My dad passed away this year from COVID but I am glad he got to see me graduate from University. I don't speak about it either cause it makes me want to cry every time. Yeah my parents were divorced but I never told anyone that besides a few people. However when he came back in my life I started to feel closer to him after so long
I lost my father fifteen years ago now and it still hurts to this day; I cried as soon as Luz mentioned her father. In my mind I could relate to Luz wanting to distract herself because it's exactly what I did as well. This episode made me want to go visit his grave since I haven't had a chance to go in years
And the fact Amity used to hate Luz probably hit different for her 💔
I love the expression that Amity gets when Luz tells her about her dad. Absolute shock and dawning dread. Because it's not just about the fact that she just learned about Luz's dad being dead, or the fact that, that day was the anniversary of his death. It's also the realization that she knows the face that Luz was making, that look of almost carefree joy. Because she's seen Luz making it, multiple times now. And now she finally realizes what it means.
It means that Luz is scared, and stressed, and overall just doesn't know what to do. But she doesn't think that talking about it would help, so she puts on a brave face, and goes about like nothing is wrong.
Yeah. This kinda COMPLETELY changes Luz's character
@@HaydrogenBomb Luz is now the best character of Disney already.
putting it into words is just, wow. Agh. T_T
Writers: So we disguised a very character development episode and named it Knock Knock on Hooty's door and also further drive Lumity into cannon. And now you want to subtly show pain. loss of love ones and angst and heartbreak and hide it underneath a brawl fighting tournament?
Dana: Yes.
Writers: TT^TT
These people KNOW what they're doing
@@HaydrogenBomb no doubt.
Finally, a short tournament arc.
“I don’t have any flowers” cue the tears cause that DESTROYED me having a tradition with family to honor one who passed away and not being there hurt cause the way Luz looked so heartbroken
Not to mention that the “ritual” is also a coping mechanism to deal with her grief. So when that protection is out of her reach, she’s naturally lost.
Luz is in dire need of a hug. Her voice breaking, inability to stand, the tired look on her face and Amity’s shocked face says it all. This was so sad. And to think we all thought Belos was Luz’s dad (at least, before we first heard about Phillip) or that he divorced with Camilla.
On a more positive note, Amity’s new look and Ed getting some screen time is nice.
eh?? i never even heard of that theory-
@@Poedoco I have, I was not a fan of it when I first saw it, glad to see it be dunked… but I didn’t expect it to be so painful
Not to mention her reaction to the siren
14:30 - THANK YOU, I’m starting to see people say they’re “tired of Lumity” already and I’m just??? Do some of y’all not realize how hard it was to get up to this point, ESPECIALLY in children’s animation? Please do realize some of us literally never got to feel so represented up until now 😭
I think it's more the frustration that people want more of the main plot and not that they don't accept the representation.
I am going to be 100% honest here,I've been there too. I mean.. to be even more honest... I am bi but where I lived, despite there not really being representation in the media it never bothered me at all. One time I heard of "being gay" randomly and I asked my mom what it means and she just casually said "oh that's when instead of liking a boy you like a girl or if you're a boy you like another boy. some people are like that." And that was it. I understood,didn't question it again and took it as a normal thing.
So I personally don't get the excitement that for example this reactor gets and sometimes I grow tired when the plot doesn't move and the show becomes more about the two than the overall mystery.
And there's a simple reason for that too.. the show didn't present itself as representation and romance focused when it started.
It was a mystery show with beautifully drawn characters and magic. And a lot of people want exactly that and find out more.
So when the focus of the show isn't what it started with they get frustrated. Personally I think that is valid.
I wouldn't condone hating on the show for it since it's the writers choice what they want to do with it but I will just say I understand the "tired" people too.
I'm someone who doesn't exactly "love" this sort of thing, and even I like Lumity. It's impossible NOT to.
Please don't give me heat for this.
@@jos-josradvanji6203 I totally get where you’re coming from. I will say that some people’s parents either paint being lgbtq+ as a negative thing or try to deny it’s existence. You had parents who were accepting and never made it a big deal, so it’s probably more normalized in your mind. But for people who didn’t have that support, I imagine they would connect with the representation more.
I love Lumity but I do get annoyed by it sometimes, since we barely get to see other characters.
Even for straight couples we rarely get to see them be together in animated shows. It's always this big end of the show thing or immediately has to be broken up through some drama. I love how much we can see Lumity just being with each other and growing.
Season 2 so far in a nutshell:
1. Pirates
2. Mommy Issues
3. Abandonment Issues
4. Mommy Issues (Part 2)
5. Sapphic subtext becomes text
6. Pet adoption
7. Heartbreak and adoption
8. Sapphic text becomes canon
9. Love and transactional relationships
10. Identity theft
11. Parades and promotions
12. Time travel!
13. The Spy Who Loved Me
14. Daddy Issues
Replace dad issues with coping with loss then it's good
@@hii8153 Amity also had daddy issues so it's pretty fit.
@@destroyerblackdragon True
Don't forget: PAIN!!!
Oh, I just realized it was each episode...
The entire scene where Luz tells Amity about her dad felt real. The facial expressions, the music and the grom tree It was the perfect place for them to talk.
They even got the detail of her keeping eye contact, moving from one eye to the other.
For serious. This was some RAW stuff, and they handled it PERFECTLY
As someone who went through the exact same thing, I can tell you that that scene is probably the most real in the entire show. Which makes sense bc Dana also lost her dad when she was a kid.
The look on Amity’s face when she learns about Luz’s dad, it’s not just shock but the realization that there’s still a lot about Luz she doesn’t know.
@@Stormkrow280 i think is more about how luz is treating how loved member of her family is dead yet she treats it as is not a big deal, which it is
There is a theory on the internet that the abomination's alarm triggered Luz's PTSD about her dad passing away with the ambulance horn sound, which explains why Luz is so aggressive toward that sound.
Damn you! 😭
Did you... Did you really had to point that out.... Was... Was it really necessary...?
damn you stark😢
That does make sense but damn that's sad ..
I love how real Luz and Amity's relationship feels. Like their not always perfect and mess up sometimes but they still love each other and are willing to work through it together.
I Agree With You Patrick W
It’s the horror in Amity’s eyes that sells it. The full realization of what sort of weight and pain Luz is going through, how the unshakable girl she loves is shaken by this; knowing that the calm is a front and there’s so little she can do to let her know it’s okay to be hurt.

@@NotRussianBadger97 ruclips.net/video/_aRpujIEtU4/видео.html
Luz is kinda acting like Eda was to Raine ngl, Lumity might break in the future if this is how things are going.
I also love how Luz said "This is not an excuse for what I did." Like, hell yeah, to establishing that an explanation doesn't equal an excuse but people can choose to forgive you based on it and how you act after apologising.
the passive aggressiveness in Amitys voice when she says, "I'll help you pick some flowers- and we'll do something here!" had the same energy as jacksepticeyes, "Hey you, your f*cking beautiful! and I'm very proud of you!"
It reminds me Edward Elric proposal to Winry
This episode adds so much to Luz's mom wanting her to come home and not stay in the Boiling Isles.
She doesn't want to lose her daughter too.
When Luz said “I don’t have flowers”😭 and when she couldn’t get up, also Luz said that you gotta know what you need when making the glyph plant, so when Luz and Amity made that tree does that mean that Luz needs Amity? And Amity needs Luz? 😭😭 Omg their love for each other is growing so much.
I kind of wish we had seen Amity carry Luz back home in the final scene as a somber call-back to “Wing It Like Witches”, even if it cost us the Camilla/Vee cameo.
@@skinnysnorlax9356 Speaking of callbacks, we've seen Luz have "jelly legs" before. Remember when Amity kissed her in episode 5?
@@HaydrogenBomb OMG YEAH
@@HaydrogenBomb Yep! That must be what happens whenever Luz gets emotionally overwhelmed, it’s an adorable character trait!🥰🥰🥰
Damn bot steals and pastes comments! 💀💀💀
23:15 Realizing the parallels between this and the moment after the Witch's Duel where Amity was overwhelmed and Luz ran out to find her is just making me cry all over again.
This episode was just beautiful
Also Luz calling Amity “Boo” is officially the best thing in the world, I take no criticism
I was looking forward to your vid since I saw the episode.
This episode firmly cemented Lumity as THE healthiest couple I have EVER seen on television. They communicate, they're supportive, and they're understanding. Yes, Luz has been lying and keeping things from Amity, but we already knew she has a tendency to consider herself a burden to others and will do everything she can to not be and foist her problems on them. Both girls have emotional baggage but they may be just what each other needed to start processing and healing that.
Also, kudos to Dana and the crew for the realistic depiction of dealing with grief, NOT make Amity instantly forgive her father, and for sidestepping all the relationship drama clichés they could EASILY fall into with Lumity. Whatever your "brand" is, Disney, fuck you for not making THIS a part of it.
Honestly, as someone who doesn't fully agree with LGBTQ+ . . .
You're totally right. Lumity rules.
@@HaydrogenBomb not a flex
I totally know what that weak legs felt like for Luz. Trying to hide the pain the whole day, trying to be tough and trying to not make it a big deal despite how big of a deal it really is inside. I was a closeted gay but had a secret boyfriend and one day he just dies and I had to act like I was just sad cause I lost a friend. And the day I came out to my family and friends I just felt so weak that I fell to the ground shaking. But with words of assurance and validation from my friends and family, I started to feel strong again.
So I totally loved it when Luz saved the day. She lost a family member and got her strength back because of her girlfriend. While I lost my boyfriend and got my strength back because of my family and friends. Feels surreal to feel connected to a character.
Sorry you lost him, but glad you had support in the end.
bonus points for all the Blight kids using magic beyond their specialty _even though_ they kind of suck at it.

When I saw Darius mad at Alador for winning, I laughed so hard my dog thought I was having a stroke or something. Anyways, this episode had me in TEARS, I recently lost an aunt so this hit so close to home. Also, I’m making a wig like Amity’s hair because I love it WAY too much.
Condolences.
@@WOLVERINE25TH awww thank you!
I lost an aunt too but it happened in 2020, still hurts though. This ep had me crying also lol, sorry about your aunt ❤
@@tinytaleah thank you. My condolences.
Edric just looks fucking adorable. I love him in this episode and his hanging out with Eda... she's a great influence for him. kinda like an adopted auntie. I have a feeling that when this done, Eda would make a great school counselor.
And he has the little bat that he got from The Knee! He said if they weren't gonna eat it that he wanted to keep it as a pet and he did!
This is the most emotional I've gotten with a TV show in a long time. Well done to the writers and animators for nailing it.
finally a story worth
Hey fellow aroace
Hey fellow aroace
My guess is that Darius is something of an abomination "purist." He relies only on his own skill to make his abominations powerful. Alador is of course skillful as well, but seems to spend a lot more time building contraptions to enhance his abominations rather than use his own magical skill to do it. At the very least, they have different professional opinions.
This was such a great, heart punch of an episode. The realism of what both Amity and Luz are going through made it so much more impactful.
I was emotional when I watched the episode but watching Elijah react, pause and talk about the details made me teary-eyed...I loved this episode so much I stayed up till 4:30 am making a short edit...
Never stop pausing at Lumity...I love your reactions 😭💖❤
When Luz said she was fine, that killed me, it reminded me so much of the scene with Raine and Eda when she pushed them away with the same response
I’ve watched the Owl House multiple times. I found your channel through Wee Scottish Lass and her reactions, and her reaction to this episode always made me tear up. I’m happy to say the same thing happened with your reaction, honestly I needed some crying release. I also wanted to take the opportunity to praise and thank you for these reactions. I’ve genuinely enjoyed them a lot, and I appreciate your explanations of why this show means so much as far as representation. As a straight man, I can only inherently conceptualize so much
The way Luz’s voice broke and how she could hardly stand, it broke me.
Same with Amity’s shocked face. It pains me to see these two being in pain, especially with them together.
Yeah, that scene felt so painfully REAL
Stop stealing comments 💀💀💀💀
Damn bot steals and pastes comments! 💀💀💀
Woah, they made the Blight Twins *even CUTER!*
Emira: "I want a t-shirt too!"
I think a concealer stone is a stone that illusionists can use, to put their magic in so that way they can sort of, shape-shift and hide what they really look like personally I think that Odalia always wanting them to look perfect, and the twins being sick of the mantinace, just got these stones so they wouldn't have to work, to maintain their appearance
Luz had every right to be upset, imagine losing one of your parents and your girlfriend or boyfriend complains about their relationship with their parents. We all know we can’t chose our parents but we can’t take them for granted regardless if you don’t have a good relationship with them or not. I felt so bad for Luz throughout the whole episode cause I tend to do the same thing with my best friend and others and I know it’s hard to opens up to others. All I can say is poor Luz and it’s sad how she kept saying that it was fine,when it wasn’t and it showed how much it still affects her.
THE WAY AMITY IS SO SUPPORTIVE THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE EPISODE-
🥺
I’m so happy we got a not just lumity, but an amity centric episode. Of course if amity is in an episode there will be lumity moments, but I love that that’s not the main focus of the episode. It was great to see how far amity’s character development has come and it was amazing to see that she’s opening up to her dad and they’re bonding. I love that this episode really shows amity as her own character and not just the other half of lumity, or just Luz’s girlfriend. She’s her own character.
Don’t get me wrong, every time a lumity moment happens I freak the hell out because it’s amazing to see the representation, but I love seeing it shown as a regular, healthy relationship rather than one that stands out as abnormal, or that has to be fought extra hard for to be recognized as a real relationship in the demon realm. Because in the boiling isles homophobia doesn’t exist. So Luz and Amity’s relationship is just like any other relationship between two kids their ages. That’s what makes it so special in my eyes because they’re not treated like they’re different than any other relationship just because they’re both girls.
Also I said amity centric but I just meant like, there’s a lot of time spent in this episode focusing on amity and her relationship with her dad, and not just showing her as an extension of Luz.
This one hit home. But also, none of us are ready for the next episode. *I'M NOT READY.* It is going to beautiful
Wait,whats the next one?

Honestly, I think it’s better if you don’t know the synopsis, that way you’re going in totally blind. But I can give you a hint👇

You know, my emotional dysregulation stops me from having as emotional a reaction as you have to these episodes, so I really appreciate you being here and expressing what I can't, it's why I love watching your videos
When I saw the episode, my only concern was: "Oh Titan, Elijah will not be able to make it through!"
This is the reason I love Lumity so much: they are the supporting pillar of one another!!!
I've said it before, I'll say it again; Belos' plot is secondary. The Owl House is a love story of two misfits finding each other.
@@ericbrower611 No, sorry. Lumity is the secondary plot and The Day of Unity is a tertiary plot. The main plot is about a misfit girl trying to find her place with a new family.

Healthiest relationship I've seen in any media.
@@WOLVERINE25TH eh nah
I…never met my father…he left me when I was really young. Although he’s still alive, this episode still resonates with me when dealing with absent parents…dead or alive. Such a timeless episode of loss, parents and a healthy couple.
This episode hit me like a truck. I lost my dad about 8 years ago, so I absolutely relate to Luz. But I also had a very difficult relationship with him where I struggled until the end to get his approval or attention, so Amity's issues resonated with me, too. I got punched in the gut from both sides, woo!
But honestly, this is one of my favorite episodes of any show that deals with loss or parental issues. I've seen it at least 10 time already, and will likely continue coming back to it if I need a good cry.
Amity’s “That was Mom’s dream” is relatable for me because I always wanted to make my mom proud, and always pursued to be good at school, but when the time came for me to choose what I wanted to do, I was blank, I couldn’t choose, and despite my mother telling me to choose whatever I want, my fear of disappointing her overwhelmed me, and even though I’m about to finish studying my career, I still question myself if I chose right, with the exact same fear of disappointing her. And I didn’t have my father because my parents are divorced so I didn’t have his point of view, I know it’s not like Amity’s dad who is so invested in work and providing his family to notice what they really need, nor Luz’s deceased loneliness after his dad passed away, yet I feel like something was missing from my childhood, that could give me a better perspective of my present and my future.
How you’re feeling is understandable.
Validation from a parent is important, and since you only have one parent in your life, it makes sense you’d be afraid of losing that praise and support.
My advice for you would be to talk to your mother.
It’s important that you get to explore and find your own hobbies.
This is your life, not your mothers.
No matter what you choose, she is still your mother, and she will still love you regardless of your career choice.
There’s a chance she may not like it at first, but she will get used to it in time.
As someone who lost both my parents at a young age, the way Luz talks about her dad is scaringly accurate. Saying that is not a big deal with a smile in her face (which most of the times it really isn't) but there's always those gray days where it hurts like it was something that just happened that day and it's a feeling that never goes away no matter how many years go by...
That shit hits really close to home.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope everything is going better for you now.
I also lost my mother over 3 years ago and I know how hurtful it is, but I guess sometimes it's nice seeing people who understand these struggles, even though it's just through the Internet.
I’m really sorry 😖
Lo más lindo de este capítulo es que en la versión español latino Eda dice mi "HIJA" en lugar de estudiante los lo mismo pasa con Alador al final el dice la "HIJA DE EDALYN" fue hermoso 🥰😍❤️
The Lumity was amazing. But it wasn’t enough to fend off the tears from Luz’s Dad.
Edit: Can’t wait for the next episode. Considering it’s about Raine and Eda we might just cry again.
The fact that the first Lumity kiss was supposed to be in this episode is crazy
This episode had it all. Angst from tensions in the relationship. Goofiness from Ed and Eda. Sadness from our 2 lovebirds and their relationships to their fathers.
Not to mention some fantastic animation and action to round out the awesomeness.
Also eluding to the main plot with the Day of Unity
I like how the style of the flowers luz and her mom picked were very similar. And that the vase her mom puts it in is abomination colored, just like amity's balloon
This episode had everything. One of the best in the series. We could all use a support like amity
Honestly, in both episodes we’ve seen him in Alador has reminded me of Entrapta, but like an exhausted Entrapta. I’m glad he finally seemed to realize in this episode that he’s been a neglectful parent, and hopefully one day when Odalia is arrested for being Evil or something, Amity and the twins will have a decent parent left to live with.
I swear Dana Terrace is over in her at her desk like: "how can I make fans go even more crazy about Lumity". On a side note the whole thing with Luz's dad is just heartbreaking to me. Screw you Disney, The Owl House doesn't fit our "quote on quote brand". This show and the team behind it deserves way more respect.

That is going to be me at the end of each Owl House episode from here on out. I have accepted it. I will not fight.
This episode is definitely my new #1 favorite! Disney has no clue how much potential it is flushing down the crapper by not giving this show a proper final season!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I really hope you enjoyed this episode. Have a nice day :)
I am EXACTLY like that while reacting to TOH in terms of appreciation of the representation we didn't have. I hear a lot online about how it's "disgusting" or "creepy" (not to mention other stronger stuff) for 30+ year old to like cartoon stuff and ship their couples. We didn't have any of that. And every little tiny show of affection between a non-straight couple in a kid's show is a huge deal. Not to talk about the awesome way they grow as a couple and deal with problems as a couple plus their own issues. It was just unthinkable before and not something you could find, even less on such a big company like Disney. So...i do too pause and replay and freak out at every little show of affection or any act that show them as an actual couple.
1st. I’m glad you enjoy them. I’m not an artist like you guys are, but I still wanted to show some support in my own way.
2nd. Holy Crap! I sent that out like on Thursday. I wasn’t expecting it to get there so soon.
Nice Brosiff, also keep up the good work on YOUR end
Loved it! Thank you!
I honestly cannot imagine someone whose indifferent about LGBT having the same opinion after watching this, it was beautiful
For me, the big thing that made me cry in this episode was Amity’s face when Luz told her that her dad died. She realised she’d been holding in all this pain and it hurt her to know that Luz was in pain
So much Lumity, watching this episode I knew she was going to pause and talk about every Lumity moment, and was ready for it. Luz spinning amity around saying so pretty was beautiful, Luz father passing was just heart breaking. I love this show. Last thing. I hope luz and Amity have a dinner date with the clawthorn family on one side and the blight family on the other if we get this in the season 3 special I would want Vee and Camila there too, and just let the episode play out with odalia thinking this is the family I will be attached to through Amity being with Luz. odalia and camila meeting.
24:16 and I think the siren the abomination set off triggered something for Luz. How she immediately panics not in her usual goofy way but she was genuinely distressed and scared.
This episode hit on a personal level for me. I legit teared up a bit after hearing that.
I love the fact that Luz's mom puts her flower in an abomination colored vase
I had an isolating, abusive step-mom who called herself my Dad and my own savior. I had a loving mom who died when I was ten. This is my favorite episode of the owl house.
As a member of the “had an abusive parent” gang, I’d suggest therapy.
Helped me loads in getting over the abuse my dad put me through.
There’s different types of therapy, and I’ve found gestalt therapy to be really helpful.

“I hope for all my fans you find somebody to do this cute shit with!!” Elijah you’re so sweet and I’m claiming this energy 😭😭💕 if u don’t have that yet yourself I’m sending the same vibes back to u 🥺
I didn’t notice Eda and Raine in the bg until I was scrolling through TOH Reddit after the episode and it’s one of my favorite things about it!! The fact that they managed to write a compelling, adorable, angsty, older semi-main queer couple for a kid’s show is just AMAZING. Sometimes I feel like I love Raeda even more than Lumity and that’s saying a lot!!
Eda calling Luz her child for the first time too and EDRIC ARC I was a mess this episode
I'm usually not one to cry at like shows, movies, etc. The only other time was when the girl from Oliver Twist got murdered. But dang it when I saw Amity's face after Luz talked about her dad I definitely teared up. All I could think afterward was that Elijah had a big storm coming.
I just noticed that Luz has a similar outfit and ponytail as Alador in the final episodes!🤩
This just makes the scene from Yesterdays Lie even MORE heartbreaking in retrospect, because now we know that from Camilas perspective it was like losing the last bit of family that she had left…
No stop!
Damn bot steals and pastes comments! 💀💀💀
As the saying goes there's no point of her fearing the inevitable
It also says something about her views on Luz's past interests. Although she found them (for the most part) to be endearing, she may have also worried that it might be a little bit of acting out on Luz's part.

i really love the way they set up luz finally letting amity in and realizing amity WANTS to help her and that her problems aren't a burden to those around her as a contrast to the way eda and raine's relationship ended because eda wouldn't let raine help her
The twist with Luzs dad broke me. Totally expected something else
The fact that when Luz told amity about her dad she kept sort of downplaying it with the "it doesnt bother me, it happened awhile ago", breaks my heart.
Luz is the selfless protagonist, but im glad that the show makes it both a blessing and a curse
“I dont have any flowers” BRO I STARTED SOBBING MY EYES OUT
This was such a heart-touching episode... I think we all want to give Luz a hug after that one.
I'm so happy for Amity who's also come so far and she's making her own decisions and being the person she wants to be :')
LUMITY MY BELOVED
THIS EPISODE DESTROYED ME- I GENUINELY CRIED SO MUCH
The animation during the scene where Luz talks about her dad is beautiful. The colors, I don’t want to call them muted, but how somber they feel… Amity’s expression when she realizes how much pain Luz has been keeping bottled up inside is just… it’s a gut punch.
The real star though is Sarah Nicole Robles’s voice acting. She always does good work and I love how she plays Luz but this is most genuine I’ve ever heard her. And it’s a subtle performance too, which is so hard to do in voice acting!
The whole scene is just so sincere and it hurts me every time I watch it. Owl Crew, you did amazing. Got me all teary eyed.
Whomever drew that look of absolute shock on Amity’s face watching Luz come clean about her grief deserves a big raise and a spa day, HOLY SHIT.😭👏🏻👏🏻
Sarah-Nicole Robles knocked it outta the park with her voice acting during that entire scene, and I can’t imagine how personal that episode must’ve been for Dana Terrace to write considering she lost her dad around the same age as Luz.
(I’m of the opinion that Luz’s dad died in a car accident just like Dana’s, since the 🚨 on the Abomaton’s head must have reminded her of ambulance sirens going off in the aftermath of the accident.)
Unfortunately not, but it was a good theory
Character development counts from storytelling so when Disney
wants emotional stuff as Dana did in that episode. So emotional and very powering.
I loved that episode. Cannot wait for Eda telling Luz everything on the next episode.
GREAT REACTION, GIRLFRIEND! U ROCK!
That moment was so emotional, but also DID YOU SEE BABY LUZ HOLDING THE FLOWER?
im remeber i once wore an owl house sweatshirt to the dance class that i tought and one of the girls came up to me and was like “is that an owl house sweatshirt” and we just chatted about toh and it was just so cool how i just had a casual convo about lumity with a 10 year old and she was really hyped about it:)) it honestly made me really happy that little kids have watched this show and love it as much as i do
24:00 I'm not crying guys, an ice glyph is just melting rn
This episode was probably my favorite just because during the whole show I found myself relating to Luz, and seeing that her father passed away when she was young made me feel even more connected because my dad had also passed away when I was young. The way she acted in this episode related so much to myself. I was dating at the time and in that relationship I was always trying my hardest to help my partner build a bond with her parents, it never occurred to me it was a comfort thing until I watched this episode.
Definitely an amazing show, I hope there will be more like it in the future!
Lumity is one of the best couples I've seen on television to date. Their respective maturity in these tense situations that truly tests the strength of their relationship for the better everytime something new comes up and their love and support for each other is one of the show's defining strengths. They are such a power couple and I love it SO much.
I feel really sorry for Luz. I know exactly how she feels though. My Mom passed away when I was 7-8 years old, so I can relate to her.
SHE DID THE CRUELLA VOICE!🤣🤣🤣
Love that concealment stones are basically magic makeup 😂
I need those instead of spending two hours every morning shaving and choosing my outfit 😂
The portal key is amazing but it should have been a necklace like the real portal key is
It's a neat detail that Emira is learning Healing Magic and Edric is learning Beast-Keeping magic since both of the the Blight Twins have been shipped with Viney who studies both of those types of magic
Once a week my friends and I usually watch the new Amphibia and The Owl House episodes together. During _the_ scene, all three of us were crying
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! LETS GO! So many spoilers to avoid ! My face hurts from smiling! But also Luz and her dad !
Luz in season 2B has two modes, chaotic gay or depressed gay
This episode was rough for me but I loved how real it felt. As someone who lost their dad young I can understand the little things that just remind you of who you lost. I love this episode so so so much. Thank you.
Damn bot steals and pastes comments! 💀💀💀
Shut upppp
I straight up WAITED for you to react to this one. I fell in love with this episode not only cause of Lumity moments, but also I relate to Amity's issues with her dad. I wanted to cry the whole time
I cried when amity tried the plant glyph
It reminded me of when luz and amity fought and luz fist showed amity the light glyph
Hi Elijah, I just realized something at the end of this episode. Luz sent pink lilly's to the human realm, and Camilla put a white Lilly in a vase. So in a way the both did pick flowers for the dad. I'm not sure if lilly's were the dad's favorite flower but I'm guessing they were. So in the end even though they were separated they still were able to keep the family tradition alive. That just warms my heart so much.
This was one episode for the books due to the raw and authentic emotion it brought out not just in the viewers but from the chacters as well. I hope in the next episode we can have some more clarity on how the father passed and maybe have some lumity going after their mother issues. Because the more I see it they have both mommy and daddy issues which makes this all the more relateable and I'm interested to see how Dana will tackle it.
I mean I know luz doesn't have it as bad as amity when it comes to this issue but still after the talk that luz and her mother had before she left the human realm a few episodes ago. I'm really curious how Dana would be able to tackle this but that's probably towards the end when we get clarity on luz and amity's mommy issues which I'm okay with. Anyways, just thought I mention that little thing I noticed towards the end. Have a great day everybody, love you all! 😀😝😉☺💜💚💜💙❤
Episode: "The Mighty Mittens! "
a random person outside my house: "WHOOOO! "
I watched this episode just a little while after my dad's death anniversary. It meant so much to me to see ( albeit in fiction) someone who could also relate to that loss. Definitely one of my favorite episodes of this series.
