Love letters to the strangers I encounter, entry #2 ig
I was at the plane bus stop at 3 am, when you asked the lady near me in norwegian, "Do you have any chewing gum?"
She responded with no, so you turned to me. I asked "hæ?", pretending my language knowledge is good enough to understand you, and I just happened to not hear you clearly.
You repeated your question, and I finally gave up "English?"
"Chewing gum?"
"Oh yeah, I should have some" getting up from the bench I was occupying alone, despite previously making space for my lone passenger partner. You were surprised that i had any, you were expecting a no. Closing the distance between, I saw your face, 19-22 maybe. brown flowy short hair. You only really were missing a pair of round glasses for my friends to have an excuse to tease me about my type in guys.
I fish the unopened strawberry flavoured chewing gum out of my pocket. You even made a comment, "and it's a brand new one!" With a chuckle
"I bought it for the bus ride," I replied as I struggled with opening the package. Despite the little paper marking, these things are never convenient to open. "I always feel nauseated if I don't chew any."
"I'm the same, actually!" We have so much in common. You said something else I didn't catch with a cheeky smile after I handed you a piece. I'll probably never see you again, as I am moving out of this country, possibly never moving back again. I'm unsure if you could see my eyes that were puffed from the tears of having to leave the life I built over the last year behind. I'm unsure if you would've cared at all. I wished you to take care on this Saturday night, and you wished me to have a safe journey.
Maybe in another life we are taking this journey together.
I wish you the best, I won't forget you,
- your three minute beloved.

I also think it's nice that they made Camilla a sci-fi nerd and Luz a fantasy nerd. They're genres that are often seen as completely opposing one another by many people, which is what we're led to believe about Luz and Camilla in season 1. Luz is silly, nerdy, frequently in over her head and irresponsible and loves the boiling isles. We're led to believe that Camilla is the normal, conventional TV mother who'd be disgusted and terrified by the demon realm if she saw it.
Then yesterday's lie gives us a lot of nuance to this, and we realize that while they're still very different and now on opposite sides of a conflict, both mother and daughter are incredibly kind people (seen in their treatment of Vee) who love each other but struggle to make the right choices without hurting one another.
Then thanks to them drops all this Camilla characterization and we realize! She was a nerd too this whole time! The wedge between Camilla and Luz is motivated by past traumas and grief! and for the future has them switching sides on the central conflict of where Luz should stay (Camilla now wanting Luz in the demon realm because it's what's best for her, and Luz believing that staying in the human realm is what's best for the people she loves). They finally talk and realize that, like Willow pointed out earlier in the ep, the two are so alike. Camilla reveals that she's a secret nerd too! That she had a hard time growing up and accidentally hurt Luz trying to save her from the same fait! It's so important to me that Camilla keeps calling Luz a good witch. It's affirming her interests and goals, reminding her that she's just as good as the hero of her favorite story. And Luz finally only realizes that she wants to be understood...when she's finally able to understand her mom. When she realizes that the woman she loves and admires is just as much of a nerdy screw-up as her and that there's hope for her. Her palismen ends being multiple animals at once, showing both how Luz making unconventional choices (like carving an egg) keeps paying off for her and how her potential is limitless now that she finally knows and accepts her own goals, but to me it also reminds of the fact that Camilla is a vet and passed a love of all the weird and unliked animals (like wolves, possums, snakes, etc) to her.
It's just so so sweet and it really shows how much love and thought the crew put into this mother daughter storyline (FTF haters are not welcome on this page, respectfully). I can't wait to see how both of these misunderstood but healing women (who radiate "little/big sister" and "mom" energy respectively) are gonna interact with a) the lonely, easily manipulated and well intentioned but ignorant collector (a mix of both their interests as a magic being with a space motif! I just realized that lol) and b) the nasty puritan white man who's really obsessed with conforming to society's norms even when it literally doesn't benefit him at all.
Anyway, I believe in noceda( AND clawthorne 👀) family supremacy 💙
