[@aspen1889]

I like to imagine that Amity and Hunter would take turns saying the most TRAUMATIC shit as a joke and thats why Amity has no visible reaction

[@torazely]

Meanwhile Luz is just there like "does the boiling isles not have therapists?"

I do not know about the rest of this, but describing Edric as a "Rockin Twink" is definitely 100% accurate to the show.

[@lumisherbert5682]

Yup

[@sillykitti_]

😂😭😂😂

[@AerusAnimates]

I ship Goldric because its the most funniest noncanon thing ever

[@calikikitaru3519]

I think the point that sells it for me is that it's not even like an open mic comedian night, its Karaoke and he just decided to talk about how he "learned" about the Birds and the Bees

[@jhulpthefox]

Hahahah!

[@Luka0420]

Still love Hunter’s little fly hair becoming more exaggerated as the videos go on

[@Montesama314]

Amity: "Ugh, this is the worst karaoke night ev--WAIT, YOU'RE DATING MY BROTHER!?"

Luz: That's the part you choose to focus on?

@Caiden Leonard ok fair go on

Hunter: UHHHHH *Proceeds to jump off the stage and run out of the room*

[@loadstar4055]

Anyone else think that Belos actually wears platforms in the show?

[@mwright30313]

"belos is phillip" this, "belos is luz's dad" that... belos wears 10 inch platform boots and/or high heels under his robe is the only belos theory i firmly believe.

[@duckysrecords_]

I strongly believe in this and no one can change my mind like compare when he's wearing his mask and when he made a face reveal, the height difference is VERY obvious so I believe he wears platform heels under that emperor robe of his

[@Thestupidham]

@@mwright30313 the first one aged like milk

[@rocknrogan]

Hard to tell under the big robe.

[@dylanlynch9859]

Given what we know about Belos now, I wouldn't be surprised if he does just to help him look different from before.

[@kingclawthorne5911]

"We don't have time to unpack all of that" sums up everyone in the show pretty well

[@augustrempelewert4377]

Accurate. Even the background characters are incredibly F-ed up from what little we see of them.

[@idamotedayen-aval4549]

They didn’t even have time to unpack the whole show

[@Montesama314]

All I've learned from this is that Edric wears glasses in witch college.

[@BasilLecher]

4 months later and it turns out, he secretly wears glasses now. How prescient.

[@Cody_Wolf1]

Ok, who’s idea was it to design Belos with massive platform, I need to know who to thank for that genius idea

[@thephoenix7242]

I imagine karaoke being something from the human world, and Hunter is doing this because he misunderstood Luz's explanation of it

[@jhulpthefox]

100% Canon, lol

[@phoenixsweet1697]

Ha! Cannon!!

[@thesupernaturalhouse]

Amitys like: this is normal, is he does, can we go back to bed? And everyone else is just like: pleas for the love of titan get therapy

[@Montesama314]

Hunter would later graduate college with honors, a fiance, and a kickass rock album based on his experiences as the Golden Guard. Lot of angst there, a LOT.

[@williehughes1690]

Amity's like heard it all before is he done yet. Also I think he was to do a karaoke song given the sign in the background.

[@ryliedillman7391]

The concept that Hunter was doing this whole speil just to avoid having to do karaoke in front of people is absolutely hilarious thank you for brightening my day

[@spentheomninb60]

I like how amity looks like she couldn’t give less of a crap about hunter

Honestly though Dana confirmed that there was zero homophobia at all on the boiling isles sooo- could I live there?

[@raydgreenwald7788]

Belos Philip is from the human world most likely. Philip brought homophobia to the Boiling aisles

[@semidecent4395]

Well, Emperor Belos wasn’t originally from the Boiling Isles.

[@tarniabook3076]

If there is one homophobe there, it's definitely Belos. He comes from the trials of Salem, the freaking 1600s, I think. It'd make too much sense for him to be homophobic. And yeah, I don't think we're going to have that in the show, but it would be cool if, someday, in some kid cartoon or movie, we had a completely evil homophobic villain. After so many queer coded villains, making children associate LGBT with evil, it'd be nice if we started doing the opposite.

[@Unverified_User]

PACK YOUR BAGS *✨️rats✨️* WE ARE GOING TO THE BOILING ISLES AND WE ARE NOT COMING BACK UNTIL THE STUPID STRAIGHTS (aka the bad ones) FINALLY EITHER DIE OUT OR THEY THINK "WHOA, MAYBE PEOPLE CAN'T DECIDE WHO THEY LIKE AND WHO THEY ARE???" BECAUSE IVE *ALMOST* GOTTEN IN PHYSICAL FIGHTS TOO MANY TIMES OVER THIS SHIT

[@TheSkysCloud]

The fact that Hunter probably just went up on stage during Karaoke night and just started talking about the traumatic stories of growing up with Belos as your “uncle”

[@coena9377]

The collective “go to therapy” at the end is just **chefs kiss**

[@chloesibilla8199]

The headcannon that he wears stilts is amazing.

[@mistertwister2000]

Hunter: goes down on some rockin’ twink Dana, who clearly is setting up a thing with Willow: *B E T R A Y A L*

[@Frostfern94]

B99 AND John Mulaney AND Owl House! Wow! You have amazing taste. Also Amity is relatable.

[@charlie8829]

Lol the last frame is pretty much the whole show in a nutshell.

[@dragonfire5308]

"Who the fuck is Leonard Bernstein???"

[@SnowEarDraws]

Lmao this is incredible. It’s just so halarious with the context of hunter and the way your draw your characters is amazing.

[@evanholt1752]

Just a friendly reminder that within the universe of this show, Belos saying this would be the first, and last, recorded instance of homophobia on the Boiling Isles

[@_st4rdew_297]

OH WHICH WOULD MAKE SENSE CONSIDERING!!!

[@JustADoodle00]

belos would be homophobic tbh

[@mossyboii-.-]

​@@_st4rdew_297 yeah he would probably be homophobic considering where and when he lived and to the fact he hated witches

[@Lindwyrm6429]

There is absolutely no precedent for Hunter and Edric to be a ship, but god damnit would I kill to see that. There’s one image of Amity and Luz blushing in the library, but it was Hunter and Edric, and god damnit that would be so fucking cute

[@tomsparrow1823]

"karaoke night" Hunter I think you misunderstood the assignment there, buddy

[@malloryweber5717]

Amity made it an I-don’t-care-eoke

[@amityohcramity757]

it's the fact that edric canonically has glasses now that's killing me

[@16BitGamerCat]

You know, considering that Belos is from the 1600s, I think he probably would be anti-gay.

[@zoynes4968]

The fact that’s such an incredibly Belos thing to say and it’s not even open mic it’s fsnkssn karaoke.

Amity didn't care, her mom had already told her the same story at age 8
