A One Year Retrospective on: The Psychoanalysis of Luz Noceda (The Owl House)

[@Demaad]

Please don’t ever feel obligated or pressured by anyone to share your personal past pain and trauma. Only focus on healing for yourself. Glad that you’re in a better state now

[@ccherry.berryy]

You absolutely 100% do not ever need to talk about you’re abuse if you aren’t ready to, even if you never will be ready to. That is absolutely your business and only your business, healing is the most important thing and I’m so sorry you went through that💛

[@multiverse_media2023]

I LOVE THIS NEW PSYCHOANALYSIS FOR LUZ. Luz really has changed over the years. But we never got her some comfort because of the shortening of her series. Her pain, suffering, Luz really has been through enough.

[@phantomslay5612]

I have a rewrite (or really more of an extension of the series) planned for later. Maybe once I’m further along I can share it

This generation is awe inspiring. You'll open up about your trauma and go "please don't press me, I hope this suffices" like girl you are making progress in months which took past generations decades to!

[@sprites4ever482]

Agreed. These people are what keeps me going, what keeps reminding me of the good in humanity. I'm fully willing to die for others in my generation, because you all are such good people. Good people who have had some of the worst treatment by society since the silent generation. Us weirdos have to stick together, right?

I relate so much with Luz. My dad got really sick when I was only 9. I watched him slowly turn from a strong provider to a selliton with skin before he finally died when I was 15. He was so sick in his final days his skin started to rot and his organs were so infected the doctors refused to take them even though he was an organ doner. (that really messed me up.) Like Luz I was also seen as the weird kid at school for being different and liking things that seemed (and some still seem) weird at the time even the school staff looked at me differently. As you can guess I got bullied a lot from 3rd grade all the way to 9th grade. He''l I didn't even have any friends until 9th grade when I FINALLY found people who had simmular interests. Of course I still get wrapped up too much in fansicy worlds in books, movies, videos games and others but not to the extent as before. Like Luz I realized I was BI when in 10th grade I noticed I had romantic and other feelings toward a close friend of mine (not gonna get into detail incase younger people are reading this but you get the point) while still being attracted to girls. Our favorite thing to do in high school was write fanfiction together which is what got me down the path to becoming a writer. But of course being in a conservative family I've been in the closet ever since. Don't get my fam wrong I lean towards the right myself but also lean a little to the left on a select few topics. Like Luz when I was growing up I wanted to escape into a fantasy world. So I made my own with my writings which slowly evolved into the world I have created into the first book of a long series I am working on. When I first watched TOH the first season was almost over. I didn't give it a shot when it first came out cause I never noticed it before I finally did. When I finally watched it at first I thought it was going to be an okay kind of show. Boy was I wrong. I got more and more invested in the show to the point it is now my favorite show beating out my previous favorite Ed, Edd, N, Eddy. And with Luz I found myself getting more and more invested into her story seeing myself in her with each episode that passed. I actually bindged the first season in a day. But it just feels like Luz is that one character I can truly see myself in. A character I can look up too. I know many people don't find characters or people who truly see themselves in that person but I am glad I found mine. When TOH ended I cried. Knowing that I was watching something truly different and there is a good chance there simpilly won't be and more of it. I truly hope Dana can manage to continue the series because it will be great to have just one more adventure with Luz and the others one final time.

[@RGBunni]

2:15 from my own experience as a people pleaser with adhd and or autism, I’ve found that when the love of a hyperfixation/special interest clashes with the need to put everyone else before themselves, it’s absolutely crushing. It can be the most personal thing but if you (or in this example Luz) thinks that throwing out any and all love for a massive comfort interest (like Azura, or specifically the Azura book) will make someone you care about/who cares about you happy, you’ll do it. I have disconnected myself from some of my own comfort interests in an attempt to people please. So when Luz put the Azura book in the trash in episode one, it just hits harder now. Cause she was willing to go so far as to abandon the last thing she has to remember her dad by, in order to keep her mom from worrying or seeming disappointed in her. I’ve been in dilemmas like that and knowing how it plays out when you don’t get the book back and go to the demon realm, it just makes me realize how much suffering Luz was willing to and actually has put herself through because she didn’t want people to be mad or disappointed with her

[@nerdynelll]

I LOVED THE PSYCHOANALYSIS FROM LAST YEAR IMMEDIATLY WHEN I WATCHED IT, i love how you explain luz who is a really lovely, relatable, and dynamic character

[@m0nmonluv]

Honestly watching this made me cry. Growing up I never had a proper parent figure. My parents were usually always disappointed or mad or me. Seeing how many other people relate to Luz made me that I wasn’t the only one with these type of problems. Hearing what you had to go through made me sad and upset. i hope your doing okay. Just know that no matter what I know your a great person with amazing talents and that’s why we all watch you. ❤

[@limonsioo]

7:58 You are literally a very brave person for sharing an experience like that, you should be very proud of yourself for dealing with that situation, take care of yourself and remember that you are not responsible for someone's actions

[@daicho2603]

I could not help but go back to that classroom scene. I was legitimately scared for Luz because (self-projection) I could very much relate since I was also experiencing that when I was her age. So yeah, thanks Dana. I felt seen and utterly terrified of what would've happened had there not been any form of 'less traumatic' interference. Speaking of relating to Luz at that specific age range, I can very much relate to the feeling of wanting the other person to stop and not feel anything negative with me and that it was because 'I' was the problem. Also, verbal abuse being a thing that would worsen as I grew/grow older. I was actually around 14 when I first wrote a letter to my classroom advisor that alludes to the hints of suicidal ideation if nothing changes for me soon in that environment. I panicked when they brought me to the Guidance Counselor's Office and begged to not call my parents and started spouting excuses to downplay what I've apparently written in there. They did not believe me, and honestly, I wouldn't either. They respected my wishes of not calling my parents. I didn't know what they did, but it thankfully got better for me for the following years in that school, at the very least.

I LOVED THAT VIDEO, I ALWAYS LISTENED TO IT WHILE CLEANING MY ROOM OR SOMETHING IT WAS SO GOOD, IT’S HOW I ACTUALLY FOUND YOUR CHANNEL

[@mizulover]

sadly didn’t make it to the premiere, (stupid notifications didn’t work bleh) but holy. fuck. this was such a good revisit. you explained everything so perfectly. i’ve always been a luz kinnie since honestly day one but, these two videos made me realize i don’t just kin her because “oh wow! i’m also neurodivergent and blah blah blah!” i kin her for wayyy more than that. (and now i know why………..) ANYWAYS ENOUGH RAMBLING, i can’t wait to see what psych videos you might do next! :3

[@ba_1222]

After watching the first video, you hit the nail on the head on Luz's conditions, with Thanks To Them being an episode of fully confirming your suspicions and past points. Cannot wait for this one!

[@Lumitydarling]

You should do one on Amity, just considering Odalia in the picture is a lot on her

[@bee458]

I literally related to her since the first episode and saw her go on a very similar mental journey to my own within the show after that stage in my mental health had resolved. So it really surprised me how as I grew into somebody different, the character I kinned and related to the most in literally any media developed in similar ways. I love her too much for words. It frustrated me to see even the fandom treating her the same as I had always been treated right up until she started revealing her past trauma, and going through new traumas, where she was fawned over and it was constantly commented that her and Amity switched personalities. As someone who has been bubbly most of my life, but has had a different, darker, sadder side to me (cause I'm, y'know, a person) that was always brushed aside or I always had to bottle up, it was infuriating. But seeing videos like yours that aimed to understand and relate to Luz and really humanize her in contradiction to a fan base that constantly ignored her for more outright "angsty" characters, it was a comfort. That being said, I will forever defend her honour and if I ever find anyone calling that scene where she's literally inadvertently talking about how she wished she'd never been born, I will personally verbally tear them apart :)/hj

[@AliceInBookworld]

It’s the same with me :) I relate to everything you write here. Ik it’s hard, but we will get through this together alr?

[@bonzey9895]

Okay, after hearing that final thoughts i really really REALLY want to give you all the hugs and comforts. Also don't worry, you don't need to tell us any more details of the experience you had. We completely understand and respect your wishes. I wish you all the best my friend.

[@MaxHumphreysMaxHumphreys]

I'm very excited for this video. The old video was insanely well done, and was the video that actually made me fully connect with Luz and relate to her on a deeper level. Not only was it apparent what Luz's Psychological and Mental Health Issues were, but I realized I had similar psychological issues myself that I eventually had to grow out of (Albeit in a way where I wouldn't give up who I was.) The Owl House was a show that changed my life, and the old video played no small part in making this happen. Can't wait to watch the new one! and Liz, thank you... for everything. ♥

[@Demaad]

7:00 Question- If Owl House had gotten more time and episodes, how do you think Luz’s mental health problems and trauma could’ve been fully solved?

[@bananaeclipse3324]

Not asking me but I’ll answer anyway. I’d say no. Dana is wayyyy too good of a writer to try and cure something as serious as her trauma and most likely depression. It would’ve enabled more growth and depth, including maybe therapy and more. (Her outburst in class might actually cause a teacher to become concerned and that could lead to her being confronted by the school about her mental health) It would’ve been interesting to see how her self hatred at having her friends stuck and being an outcast at school would affect her while still having an amazing support system of friends and family. I think her mental health would be 2 steps forward and 1.5 steps back.

[@itsgigilhuna]

I LOVED UR PSYCHOANALYSIS OF LUZ SM! one of my favorite ever vids

[@ghxztpxppglv33]

I can heavily relate to the escapism part. For me it was Evangelion (Dana is actually a fan!) instead of Azura though. Makes a lot of sense tbh. This show really did feel comforting in a lot of ways too.

[@demonreapor2310]

As someone who has fully in my believe recovered from psychological abuse from many sources in the past especially my early childhood. I can only say that you can only come out of this stronger at the end. And it sounds to me that you are on the right track. So I give you luck and hope that you can recover. You are not alone.

[@adriana_theduck]

The video you made last year was really inspiring. It made me realize how much I relate to Luz. As someone who doesn’t fit in as much, gets very passionate about my hobbies, awkward and a people pleaser. I always found Luz as someone who I could honestly say in many ways is like me. When thanks to them aired and Luz said,”and it would be better if he literally never existed” I was taken aback. As someone who has struggled with those thoughts it was surprising to see the character I related to most in any media say that. I felt more connected to her in some way. To end my long rant, thank you for making your psychoanalysis about Luz and making me and many others a Luz kinnie.

[@Rixec2]

Your video was certainly amazing and proves why we need shows like The Owl House, as even if elements like suicidal ideation were kept PG, the sad tragedy is kids do go through that and having something for them to relate to and find a way to cry for help is needed. I'm also sorry for all you've gone through and know you never need to open up to us as it's personal. Just find the good people in your life that love you and know they will be there for you. You are good and loved.

[@raionfavorites]

This is how fictional stories save lives. I am very glad this one helped you trough. Keep at it. You matter. One thing I learned thanks to content like the Owl house and therapy is that your most important job is to be your own best friend when you need it the most. Not because you HAVE to be the hero you are for everyone else, but because you DESERVE the support of a hero like you.

[@Lumitydarling]

I WAS SO EXCITED FOR WHEN YOU MADE A FOLLOW UP AFTER S3

[@BluAru]

I also had a pet go missing when I was pretty young. As well as a string of 5 of my pets dying about 6 months apart each time over the course of 2018-2020. I am so sorry that that happened to you, a pet passing/going missing at a young age, especially when that pet is your best friend, can be really hard.

[@daicho2603]

I also experienced losing an animal companion. I didn't really processed it at that time since I was just a little kid. I remembered how my pet looked as if they were sleeping in the middle of a hole in the dirt and when I tried to pick them up or call them over, thinking they were stuck, my dad and other parental guardian told me to leave them be since they were 'sleeping'. Man, I did not realized until later that they were actually dead by the time I noticed them 'missing' the next few days. It's either that my parental figures told me or that I figured it out on my own, I did not know what grief would be like. I just know that they just died. For the next few years, I would pick up random flowers on the ground and placed them in that specific hole everytime I was sweeping our front yard. It wasn't until I told myself 'Stop' that I realized that I was grieving and that the last time I saw them made sense in my head now that I know why. I knew they were dead then, I just didn't really processed the death until I give myself a moment to look back and think about that scene. Judging from how it affected me and my utter reluctance to feel close to other potential animal companions, and people in general (among and adding to the pile other factors from childhood trauma: bullied, isolated, lack of appetite that may be a symptom from something close to depression, etc.), I think I was and am experiencing something akin to the effects of repressed trauma, or something (do not know the exact term). I still do think about it, but that's normal, at least to me. Grief is weird for me since I don't outwardly cry upon hearing or even witnessing a loss as that's what I expected for grief to look like. I feel and still feel sh**** whenever I felt like I'm left out of the loop for not crying like the others. But then a bunch of examples from media told me that, no, grief comes in different ways. And that I wasn't weird to feel that way. I just didn't have a name for that emotion then, and I still don't have a name for it now. Still feel sh**** though. I would have to remind myself that it's okay to feel that way.

[@matthewpaul6904]

Glad you're on the road to healing. Abuse and love have one thing in common. They both exist in a spectrum and the more we recognize abuse in all its forms the more people can be helped. Take care and good video by the way.

[@ember-fire7583]

Thank you for making this video, I remember watching the first psychoanalysis you did on Luz and finding it very interesting and relatable when it all got broken down into more digestable parts. Those same feelings applied to this one as well, I enjoyed it quite a bit and getting to hear more about the stuff that you missed, or forgot, or just any final thoughts on the whole thing an entire year later after the show has now ended was nice. I'm happy to hear you're on the road to recovery now, and you don't owe anyone any explanation or anything you don't want to share. That can be hard to remember and even follow through on, but I just wanted to say that cause it's true. Anyway, once again thank you for making this and have a good day/night!

[@null_points]

thanks for covering about suicidal ideations and physically destructive behaviours, i also do have them and it feels like i haven't been through a lot at all. i feel awful because im having these thoughts when my life is alright, I don't know why im like this. its pathetic because i shouldn't have a thing to complain about, but im still so negative and emotional. I don't think i have trauma and my parents are very supportive. so im confused im sorry this is all over the place im really not in the right mind right now. once again, thank you. :)

[@polifemo3967]

Thanks for sharing what you feel comftable sharing about your abuse. The phrase "I was scared of them when they were angry" reminded me of an old friendship in a way that's too immediate. Maybe I was being abused too...

[@jck1232]

To comment further on Luz's father having an effect: I believe the specific logic that Luz's father's passing had on her was she learned at an early age that the world is unsafe and that she did NOT have control of that moment. Her lack of control in that moment has driven her to feel as if she now has to take FULL control and therefore FULL responsibility of everyone else around her. Those are my thoughts, at least.

[@insertusernamehere123]

feel like i can relate to luz in the sense that i lost my mom as a child (when i was about 4 or 5) and it stuck with me but i never opened up about how much it really affected me because people told me things like "oh grow up, that happened 8 years ago" and "get over it" which by the way is an awful thing to say to someone who's only 13 and i still dealing with the loss. what made it worse was when a few days after christmas my grandpa died and i felt awful about not caring about him more and so i started crying myself to sleep and just hoping that no one else i care about will die but the only close relatives i have now are my grandparents. the only reason i've been doing well lately is because i've been escaping by watching shows that bring me joy such as steven universe, gravity falls, amphibia, and of course the owl house. i enjoyed your video however so keep making such good content.

[@nicholsonastrid]

I started watching The Owl House in June last year, and your psychoanalysis and meme videos are what convinced me to watch it, as I had recently started unpacking a lot of similar things in my own life and found comfort in Luz. thank you for living up to your name

Hearing Luz get up in class made me uncomfortable. At first it was anxiety that she’d make a fool of herself but then it was just more upsetting hearing Luz say she “should have never existed” and that people would “better off without her”. All through HS, I had those same thoughts circling my head. Why do I mess everything up? Just disappear. No one would miss you, you’re forgettable. Everyone would be better off without me. Hearing Luz like that just broke my heart. Is that what others feel when I deal with these thoughts?

[@0utsiderwolfz_122]

I don’t mean to be like odd but my cat also passed a year ago..and like luz I grew attached to a show/book/movie which is transformers and I bring plushies around because of my cat passing I am doing better but I’m still taking time to heal..I’m happy that you talk about your feelings! And hope your doing okay too!

[@Xixi_the_princess]

Holy moly, I did not realize it’s been a year since and I wish I could’ve commented earlier. But man, I never knew how much a kinned Luz, not because of the death of a parent but I had lost many pets when I was younger the most impactful was a Guinea pig. I won’t reveal many details but I know it was traumatic even if I didn’t realize at the time. And to this day every time I tell the story I end up crying because sometimes I wish I wasn’t so stupid and let her pass on. But I was only 6 years old and it wasn’t my fault now that I grown older a decade or so later it still pains me to think about her. But I know she would want me to lead on and move forward. Even if she didn’t like being picked up lol. Anyways I apologize for the long comment I just needed to get it off my chest. But thank you so so much for making that video.

[@tonytonymegumi]

One thing that really stuck out about luz to me is that really was one of the most tragically yet beautifully written characters in the series. Throughout all of the show, and even in the flashbacks and through other characters we witness Luz's slow mental descent as time went on. Her own mother, the woman who was close with luz's father couldn't even see how much Luz was hurting. Her behaviors weren't by her on volition, it was subconscious trauma coming to the surface. Like when you mentioned how during the Bonesborough brawl, she tried to brush it off. Luz felt nobody truly understood her, and due to this, even with her goal of making back home, she didn't want to go, because like you said, with her relationship with the Azura series , the thing she escaped to for comfort being a reality for her, she still knew it wouldn't last forever. When she visited her mother in the human realm outside, you knew luz was making a promise she didn't want to fully keep. Luz was bullied, nobody sought to give her any form of help and those who did cast it off as just her joking and being childish and yes while that may be the case, Luz was unable to fully heal from all of the things that had happened. As a character, Luz is flawed, but it's so subtle you'd mistake it for her really acting her age. Luz was most definitely in a state of depression to the point that she considered taking her own life and her conquering the state of turmoil she had been in for years really made me smile. I lost my father as well when I was younger to tuberculosis and was by his side when he passed. I remember even feeling as if it was my fault and falling so deep into my own thoughts that it became harder to see happiness as something I could have, or at least something I would have to bring to others. Luz never thought about herself in any situation, for her the joy of others was her own and some who have watched the show can relate and know it was true. Luz over all is broken done right and that's why TOH will be my favorite series to date.

[@Chaizin]

Absolutely amazing video! The amount of work you put into this is incredible! I really wish I watched the series sooner. I only started watching in February when everyone was already waiting for the last episode! My health was getting relatively better but just seeing how much I related to Luz brought back a lot of emotions. If I’d watched Thanks to Them when it aired it would’ve been perfect timing for me as I was really a low point. Is it normal to feel hurt when you don’t watch something sooner?

[@Cavetown884]

8:58 listed if it means anything you’re doing great and are a amazing person who doesn’t deserve this HELL YOU HAVE THIS COMMUNITY THAT LOVES AND SUPPORTS YOU AND PROBABLY GO ON A MAN HUNT IF YOU TOLD THEM NAMES, but my point is that you shouldn’t have to worry about pressure at all you had it HARD growing up you deserve so much better, and we would never pressure you after knowing what happened and how you feel so don’t worry about that here, and you are not the problem and never were especially when you have these people here who love you and have loved you for years and would roast hatters in a instant and maybe you have some family members or actual good friends that feel the same way we do and treat you right, my point is I think I speak for everyone when I say we are just proud and happy for you that you have been getting better and have made so much progress and that we look up to you for this and being this strong, we know it’s hard with what is going on and we care about you so you have my word that we will not pry or pressure you to tell us more unless you want to or you are ready to.

What I will say is that they haven't been a part of me and my friend's lives for a long time. Their karma came to them a while ago and last I heard from them they are getting therapy. I don't wish anything terrible onto them, I just want them to stay away from me and my friends who they hurt

Will you make any psychoanalysis videos on Hunter? It sounds like you could also somewhat relate to him based on what you shared

[@AH-is5yg]

The big moment is when King's father finally told Luz that she was never a bad person to begin with. Also, it was Belos who was really the problem not Luz. King's Father saw her as a good person and she was rewarded with the powers of the Titan. That power, Luz see that she is a great person and she earn it based on kindness and did good deeds. After Belos was defeated, Belos tried to lie and compare her to being evil, but Luz finally see Belos as a lying monster and not listen to him. When she walked away from him without saying a word to him showed she's nothing like him. She let Eda, King, and Raine to finished him off.

I'm sorry about what you went through, and it's so awesome how this show helped you through that by introducing you to Luz. I can relate to Luz, mainly because she's hispanic, bi, and neurodivergent. While I never went through states a self-blaming, well, not to this scale, I totally sympathized with Luz and, tbh, I didn't even realize that side of Luz until I saw your original video. You weren't kidding when you said it was "the part of Luz that was overlooked." I love your channel and these videos. Keep up the good work.

[@garrettjackson1451]

I agree I can relate to Luz especially since I have adhd but I never had to deal with grief or loss of a parent and I was fortunate in high school that I wasn’t bullied or ostracized plus history was my favorite class and I loved talking about it and got along well with other kids in school.

Also, I'm very happy to hear that you're in a better place after the things you've gone through. I wish you the best in your continued healing, and just remember that you deserve to treat yourself with kindness

WE ARE ALL LUZ FRR

[@leuanasantos1288]

Yay, it's out! I'm so happy the analysis was mostly right, it's my favorite toh analysis video ever, even now. And the ending... I'm glad you're recovering. Hope you're doing alright, take care

Realizing we are being harmed is often the most important step to getting better.

I relate to Luz a lot since I probably have gone undiagnosed my whole life. My friend once told me that I probably have ADHD and even tested me with all results pointing I have ADHD, and in For the future when Luz said that the only thing she ever really wanted was to be understood I really realized that I empathize so much with this character, and I started crying cause in my almost 16 years I never really had someone who understood me rather than my life-long best friend who shares the same interests as me and has gotten bullied for multiple reasons, and I realize that I might share the same struggle of trying to please people going out of my way to chane my personality or my attitude to please others (probably has to do with the fact of undiagnosed autism or smth idunno) and I've had really isolated moments where I just wanted to die make me relate to Luz sm. I appreciate that they wanted to include this, cause without this show I wouldn't know things they way I know them now

[@sprites4ever482]

Luz was already one of my favorite fictional characters full stop, but your analysis made me like her even more. What you deduced she went through, and what made her the person she is, is 1:1 how I grew up. One of the reasons I like her so much is because of how damn similar her troubles and aspirations are to mine, and now you've pointed out how even her previous experiences, and the things she's taken to doing in response, may be. I always had the headcanon that she's so eager to put others before herself and even sacrifice herself for others, because she literally does not give a damn about her own well-being and life. That she puts on a smile and comes off as just a socially awkward dork, but is actually a deeply sad person who sees no value and future in herself, and measures her worth by what she can do for others. And if she has to die for others who may not even be aware of this, so be it. We see time and time again how quick she is to throw herself in harm's way, to the point where she does it even when said harm is so powerful, that doing this is straight up suicidal. And I think that's her intention. That she wants to die, but die for something. In a way, her love for Amity also brings her love for her life. Maybe I'm projecting over 9000, but I found Luz to speak to me as a character, found her story emotionally touching on a personal level. I think this is why I would just want to hug her and tell her she's a hero. A damn hero. They don't call her 'Light' (Spanish: Luz) for nothing.

Such an Amazing Video you made.👏🌟

[@SkiffsEdits]

Ahhh I can’t wait

[@Demaad]

7:18 That’s a thing?! SHAME on them!

[@martinmoraurena4155]

My bet is that some of them are a part of Belos that's just walking there

[@peteramaranth85]

You were right, it's why we all loved it and we love you for making it😊

[@machete2971]

dont feel pressured to share anything you dont want to because you dont need to share anything personal at all

[@shidoodles]

I recently lost my grandpa.. 2 years ago almost.. I’ve been told to get over it. I can’t. Because my grandpa besides my uncle was my ONLY father like figure..

[@MoonStar-dg4np]

6:01 I've been waiting for someone to say it. I've seen so many people talking about that line, but no one ever said what it was; Suicidal. Not even I wanted to.

[@starrishly]

happy pride month !! 🎉🫶

[@gamingdestruction2918]

they say is good to share your feelings with someone. Is nice you where able to share a bit to everyone on KZbin. Even tho your unable to tell everyone. The part you did. Is good start. Even if won't share anymore with anyone else.

[@garrettjackson1451]

I relate to Luz’s struggles with adhd but I can’t relate to her grief as I never lost a parental figure in my youth but I was pretty lucky that I wasn’t bullied as overtime I got a better grasp on social ques but I still have some flaws that hold me back

[@nanxmii]

WHOEVER WATCHED THE PREMIERE REPLY HERE THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING TY LIZ

[@TalktotheGlyphwitch]

No this comes out while I’m in school

[@Kattlarv]

Even though we got a drastically reduced S3. We still got a lot of very interesting things from it. And, like you said: It's *important* to talk about these things. Since it's not "too much for kids". Like, one of my favorite comics: WITCH. Has one of THE best "deaf in the family" arcs I've ever seen. *Very* age appropriate. Duck Avenger is also a really deep comic. Though... it is kinda all over the place. Not sure I'd say that's for kids. That said: I do really hope media can stop with their strict, stupid gender roles soon... It's really frustrating to see female characters just... completely barred from certain things because it's not "ladylike".

[@AutumnNoTaken]

4:10 When u said “don’t know which flavor” I just said “they come in many flavors. Some more flavorful than others” Just something I randomly blurted out

[@ST4RZ733]

This is a really good psychoanalysis. The first one is actually how i found your channel

[@nickwilliamson4109]

I'm glad that you are on the road to recovery and I'm really sorry you had to go through some serious abuse, it's understandable why you can relate to Luz. I understand a bit myself. I won't go into details but I do understand what it feels like to not be good enough or to be the problem, so my heart goes out to you.

[@badoomching]

Loved this video so much, it's so nice to hear people relate to characters I relate to, also I hope things only get better for you from here on out (I think that's how that's spelt) :)

[@PhoenixFeather6000]

I loved this so much ^^ Had no idea your video was so popular, but it was the main one i watched that really made me realize, oh shit Luz is just like me Even my friend mention it and i was like ''yep that's the one i saw to'' XD I'm really happy you made it even when you wre struggling, it ment a lot and i always enjoy your beautiful voice

[@theblade4564]

Welcome to club adhd it’s one hell of a ride

[@PaigeRobins-ky4qc]

I hope you are doing well today and remember you not alone you perfect the way you are.💜👍💯

[@josephedmondson1969]

Many blessings on you! I hope you're in a better place mentally. Hugs

[@markcatterall8457]

There is a petition where 200000 people need to sign and they are close to that goal and it’s for a season four so if you haven’t signed up do it so we can get this show back

[@FelixLarios1234]

I'll have to give mad respect for you 🫡 stay strong you are doin great 🪖💪

[@mcbuckets5457]

I didn't see this at first but now I understand it and I said to myself before how cool Disney was able to put this on for us as audiences to see makes us realize what some people are going through today's world and the show will be a domino effect that we will see more of this franchise again because how deep it gets and what a lot of people are dealing with today like I said earlier so thank you for putting this video out and the other video out also for Disney to put it out there as well so others can relate because maybe they are going through the same thing like you are going through today

[@garrettjackson1451]

I actually have something a bit traumatic that I eventually moved on from happened to years ago I’m actually a victim of extortion thankfully my parents helped me out even if I got yelled at plus I never even considered killing myself like most extortion victims did because I know there’s always another option then the easy way out even if it’s the hard choice I already forgiven myself for my mistake and took a break from social media for a while and learned to be more skeptical when it comes to accounts and learned to keep an eye out for any hints of it being fake.

[@WhiteAce3]

Thanks for your video. I really liked your previous psycho analysis video of Luz. When I watched the series I honestly didn't recognize this at all. You gave me another view on Luz' psychology. Even that I'm still of the opinion that if all that would be true Luz would have had a total mental breakdown. But you did a great job bringing all this up. And also to open the chapter again with this video. It personally touched me when you used the Luz animations to match her lips with your words. In between I wasn't sure if you or Luz is speaking. This hits... different :( Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts and feelings but honestly I think you didn't have to. Something I learned very late: other peoples opinion should not bother me at all, especially when it's people from the internet. If I care for them I will listen to their opinion. If not I would just ignore. Much strength to you Liz
