I remember Dana Terrace saying in the Reddit QnA that she didn't care for or wasn't interested in writing romance in her work. Yet ironically, I feel like her aversion to certain tropes is helping her craft a romance that feels convincing and is well woven into the narrative of the show.

[@rayman4146]

Also the owl house will have a good plot as well as gravity falls

[@henrysketchtv]

I believe Dana Terrace was also referring to not being a fan of certain romance tropes or stories that are fully focused or that rely on... the romance of the protagonists (like love triangles, which are awful, making the ship the main focus of the show, and stuff like that). Because one of the reasons that Lumity is a really good couple is that it is based on the development of these two through the series, them falling in love for each other is something that is not forced, it is part of their natural development. Or as I would call it, it is part of life. And also because this ship is not like other where they tease you with "will they end Together... Or not?" which is annoying in some anime and shows! Again, Lumity is a good ship (one of the best I will say) that grows naturally, and it is satisfying to see how much the characters have evolve to the point they care for each other. This is one of the reasons I love shows like Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Avatar/Korra, and Owl House. They develop the characters over the lore/story. From Rivals to Lovers, you will love to see it.

It seems like Luz has a bad case of RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) which is an extreme emotional sensitivity and pain triggered by the perception that a person has been rejected or criticized by important people in their life. It's part of the ADHD diagnosis and with Luz being confirmed to be neurodivergent coded I believe this one is canon too.

Any sense of rejection can set off your stress response and cause an emotional reaction that's much more extreme than usual."

I actually think Ed & Em knew before, and that was just them realizing "hey, we're being a third *and* fourth wheel here." That "pick up" line is just too much of a double entendre - and thus, too much something they'd *say* - for them not to have at least *suspected.*

[@herosmith5662]

Either that, or it was intended to be a stealth tease on the both of them, and they genuinely didn't realize things were reciprocated until that moment. That said, I do lean more towards your explanation. The twins (or at least Emera) are too perceptive about those sorts of things to have not noticed until then.

[@trolleyfan]

@@herosmith5662 Especially if even *Gus* has pretty much figured it out (and Willow's back there somewhere going "will you two just kiss already!).

[@inkmink8957]

This makes sense, until you consider the idea that Amity may not have had a female crush before. If Ed & Em didn’t know she liked girls, what reasons would they have to suspect that she had a crush on Luz? We can assume that Amity’s never liked a girl before based on all the stuff about her trying to hide how she feels and worrying herself. Internalized homophobia maybe. So I don’t see it as completely unreasonable for her siblings not to have known up until then, and I think it’s super sweet of them to immediately 360 and give Amity and Luz some time alone.

[@euphcriqx3456]

small fun detail, the actual reason why amity blushed after she kissed luz on the cheek was because she saw luz looking at her lips (you know what that means) and of course amity, had a gay panic and went back. and the reason why amity said "why did i do that?" multiple times was because she regrets running back to her house and not letting luz kiss her back

It's beyond sweet how Luz goes trough hell to get Amity's job back, but let's be honest, we're talking about Luz here, she would have done the same for anyone else she cares about

[@osblarg]

Also I strongly believe that Luz saying "I do stupid things around you too, Amity" is an indicator that her crush on her actually goes way back, even before Escaping Expulsion. Like...think about it, she went out of her way A LOT in order to befriend her, and then to impress her so she wouldn't think she was pathetic or incapable, something you don't see her try to do with other people. Perhaps the excitement she had because of all things happening around her in season 1 made her not realize, but now after she's become far more serious this season, feelings like those are starting to sink in, Eda almost being turned to stone by Belos, her confrontation with him and then being forcefully separated from her mom might have made her realize that she now has people that are...too important to her, people that she can't afford to lose.

[@jerricawilliams9989]

[@bearwboots8839]

This analysis was amazing! It makes me appreciate the writing of this show so much more it’s so amazing

[@UnsightlyMuse]

Look, I love how Amity’s grown as a character over the past season. But I did notice in this episode that she still retained some of her bossy/controlling tendencies. They especially come to light when she thinks Luz’s safety is compromised. Or if she believes she knows the best way to handle a situation. (an obvious result of her parents’ treatment.) I think she needs to work through that before actually persuading a relationship with Luz. Her need to be a leader is definitely one of her character flaws. Amity needs to trust Luz. (The trust needs to be mutual.) She needs to understand that Luz doesn’t need to be watched/cared for all the time. And that she probably needs just as much help as she thinks Luz does. If not, I can foresee a situation where they disagree on something small and it spirals downwards out of control. I get this uneasy feeling. In order for Lumity to be a healthy relationship, both girls need to work through their issues. They need to grow a bit more.

I think what made getting fired so impactful to her was the fact that Malphis was an actual nice and respectable authority figure. With Odalia and Boscha, sure, they had POWER over her, but that's it, there was nothing about them that she actually respected. So the act of defying them was only a problem for her to the extent that it resulted in backlash (which she was already receiving from her mum, making fighting back the better option). Rebelling against them would've brought her joy. But with Malphis, she disappointed someone who she genuinely respected, and I think that hit differently. That's why she started to question her new attitude towards life, because it led to a genuine mistake.

I enjoy how the siblings get along in a more honest way, Em helping both Amity with her feelings and Ed with his date (which he isn't helping by picking at stuff on his face...). There's always many things IRL regarding siblings and family dynamics, but in Bonesbourgh family is more honest and less... of a forced ideology? They help and support each other, because in some respects they may only have each other. So while you may joke, poke fun, squabble and even fight with your siblings at the end of the day you should be there for them and vice versa. I personally enjoy what I can only call the purity of Amity and Luz's relationship. If this was happening IRL it would just be sullied by... Just a gigantic and messy pile of numerous political, social and cultural forces which varies from unhelpful to downright damaging/destructive. Everything from political powers weaponizing family, stigmatizing LGTBQ+ identities and gender identities, social pidgeon-hole'ing of gender roles, media saturation driving kids impressing upon them they need to grow up fast, and a BIG etc... But in the demon realm and in Bonesborough, that gigantic mess is essentially nonexistent. Leaving Amity and Luz to be two teens, with a mutual crush, working out their feelings on their own without outside interference. Well MOSTLY... I'm sure Odalia's gonna pull some crap later on, reasserting control and what not. I'm also hoping there will be an "Ah-ha moment" for Luz later, when something happens to make her flashback to Grom and realize that note (and Amity's fear) was directly about her. Seems like it could be a nice resolution for a future conflict point, but I guess we'll see.

"It doesn't seem like Ed and Em even realize the two are crushing on each other until this moment" - hard disagree on that one, that moment isn't them realizing the two are crushing, it's them realizing that they are being third and fourth wheels and need to find an excuse to leave.

[@littlebaldedone]

I was always confused with how fast their development was going, then I realized that there's a time skip between each episode, so it actually makes sense that Amity's feelings would grow off screen in between episodes.

While I love all of Rebecca's reaction and analysis videos, this might be my absolute favorite of the bunch.

[@chipmunkstyle007]

This show is amazing. It's such an incredible thing to be able to show how normal it is for younger audiences to experience certain feelings and emotions. Canonical LGBT characters in a Disney show is basically unheard of and showing it so freely is awesome. I especially think it's awesome because of how Dana Terrace was said to approach romance, that it isn't the main thing. And it isn't. Obviously we all adore Lumity and how it's implemented so fluidly into the series, but it isn't the main plot of the show. And that makes it SO much better in my opinion. The fact that the main plot is a fish-out-of-water story, Luz in a terrific land, Eda and her backstory, Belos and the coven system, how Luz will get home. Lumity, no matter how much we want it to be, isn't the MAIN aspect of the show. It's incredibly important yes, but the fact that the plot isn't "girl falls for another girl" + plus all the conflict means that two girls ending up liking each other romantically is so normal and valid that it doesn't have to be the main plot for the show to be good. The Owl House: Beautifully written, incredibly designed, impeccably inclusive, amazingly engaging. This show is remarkable and deserve all the praise it receives and then some.

[@averagejoe6031]

You know what’s crazy? I’ve never related so much to a romance story in a show or movie than lumity. And I’m a straight guy. I mean from my friends teasing about how bad I was hiding it to how I always seemed to just fall apart whenever I saw my crush. To how it wasn’t always a good thing. I feel like most shows canMy show it this realistic and I think since this isn’t a typical straight couple crush they can’t rely as much on the typical shallow relationship tropes. It forces the writers to emphasize the real implications and emotions of it all. It’s really beautiful.

[@joelblake5310]

Honestly, I never thought that Luz and Amity were trying hide their crush after Escaping Expulsion considering Amity said "My Luz" and blush and act awkward around each other so much.

[@wolfwarriorpaw6611]

Your voice.. it’s so.. calming.. these videos make my day.

[@AnimaMandala]

OK, once these two define their relationship, Amity HAS to ask Luz to teach her Spanish. That way they can have their own secret language.

Thank you for everything Rebecca rose

Lumity is legitimately one of the best-developed romances I've ever seen in animation.

I was listening to music and it hit your voice i thought you were a singer X3 your voice is so pretty

[@brettwood1351]

The kiss made my day, but yeah that scene outside the Library is what made that work for me. Everyone involved in the animation, writing and voice acting just made that scene work because it's painful, but it comes across as a growing pains painful. Something that if you get through you'll be further than you were. That things won't always be absolutly perfect, and you may not be able to understand them easily, but it's so important. This is probably my favorite young romance since Garrod and Tifa in Gundam X. As for her hair, funny when you see it against the walls of Blight manor, it really comes close to matching it. Almost Abomination colored. So I wonder just why Amity went with that color.

[@geraldquicktire8396]

Great video as always Rebecca! I agreed with all your points said in the video! So happy that a relationship like this is shown on Disney!! I also love how Amity was so opened about her feelings to Emira and her being supportive was really sweet! Can’t wait to see where the relationship goes!

[@werewolfkitten7494]

I think the twins knew that Amity liked Luz but didn’t know that Luz liked Amity back in till that scene, just because the fact that they hadn’t seen Luz with Amity blushing in till then. If that makes sense 😅😅

[@bow865]

You give me happiness whenever you post a video

[@thescauldron8436]

I love how Amity's line also will encapsulate Luz's character arc in this season, with her insecurity of being seen as a burden or being lesser than what people expect her to be. Especially with Creepy Luz going to emerge some time, Luz's friends would be a much needed support system for her and remind her that "[she] always has a way to sneak into people's hearts." And that means we are to expect Lumity in the forefront of this season's conflicts.

[@AdrianArmbruster]

One thing that may have helped pacing wise would be to include the 'you're just looking for an excuse to go hang out with Amity again aren't you?' line w/ associated stammering back in Episode 3 or 4, so it doesn't seem like it's all coming out at once. That said, I'd consider it a 10/10 episode with all characters and both A and B plots firing on all cylinders -- it packed so much into 22-odd minutes, it was quite impressive.

[@sillycookie]

The way the crush is written is very realistic for their age groups. It's really well done and especially so for a lgbtq relationship on a Disney show.

[@seeara3824]

Just love the hand grab at 2:14 cause its so blatant yet they're so oblivious. Like Luz instantly grabbed Amity's hand like it was normal. And they both blush so mush like they could exchange their feelings through the hand holding.

[@joshuakrumholtz]

Amity is far from the only character that seems problematic at first only to be a complex being the more you get to know her. The Blight Twins went from reprehensible abusers in the eyes of the fandom to LITERALLY STOPPING MY HEART when Emira was brushing her little sister's hair as she's coming out of the closet.

I love this LGBTQ+ characters and how, at least that we've seen, that people don't think it's wrong to be LGBTQ+.
