I'm sorry, but Dana Terrance wrote the Owl House and decided it makes sense for Hunter's arc to pair him up with Willow? And then wrote Amity's arc and thought it made sense to pair her up with Luz?

Amwillow and Lunter would have worked so much better from a character driven standpoint.

Amity never got enough screentime to actually learn how to treat Willow with respect. We got Understanding Willow, and then a B-plot an entire season later that showed that plot thread was unresolved.

But if Amity got a crush on Willow instead of Luz? It'd force character development on both Amity and Willow's ends.

As for Lunter, the most ironic way for the Caleb plotline to end is to have history repeat itself, but this time Belos can't blame it on a Witch. Huntlow had some parallels, but having it be Luz would dial it up to 11!!!

I like to think that Amity and Willow like doing each other’s hair. Amity is always walking around with a complex french braid & when Willow wanted to dye a streak of her hair green, Amity helped with the bleaching and dyeing

Hi there do you like art of amity and willows former friendship maybe amity was good with willows parents

This sorta reminded me of this old commission I got from Shadows P.D on Instagram (please check them out). It’s meant to be them when their still teens for an old AU idea I had where Amity ran away from home to live with the Parks, but still, I thought you’d appreciate it.

As for your questions themselves, I have a few thoughts.

1. I love seeing art of Willow and Amity’s old friendship. I admit it’s rare, but when people do draw it it’s usually pretty sickly sweet and adorable.

2. Honestly I like to think Amity had a pretty good relationship with Willow’s parents, and they sorta served as a good set of role models for Amity when she was younger. That’s actually a part of the reason her parents made Amity leave Willow actually; because they knew Willow’s parents were making Amity realize just how controlling they really were.

When Amity and Willow actually patched things up enough for Amity to visit Willow in her home, Amity was actually scared of seeing them again because she suspected they would hate her. And it’s true both parents weren’t entirely sure how to feel about Amity at first. But after seeing that she truly was trying to become a better friend for Willow, they accepted Amity back with open arms.

Honestly, the biggest regret of my life was not screenshotting that post Dana made eons ago about Amity and Willow being girlfriends...

Because Ive been wondering for awhile if Caleb's/Evelyn's romance might be a recycled Lunter romance from the original draft of the story... because they have the same premise Lunter has, Evelyn shares similar physical features and themes with Luz [like with Eve and the serpent symbolism]. Oh right and theres that whole thing with Hunter being the only Grimwalker who looks the most like Caleb.

Hunter has been around since early bible days... so if I were to make a guess, she decided to swap out Hunter with Amity. She gave Amity Hunter's role in the first draft but instead of throwing out the Lunter romance completely it got repurposed into Caleb and Evelyn. And she also gave Amity's original role to Hunter as Willow's romantic partner... for some reason... a reason that i will never understand even if she sits me down and explains it to me...

But yeah, Caleb and Evelyn have always come off as characters who've been added into the story simply because Dana wanted to reuse an earlier concept. Which would explain why Evelyn's face is hidden but she shares physical features and themes with Luz.

WBW and SAI might also be a references to that original romance... even though SAI also foreshadows events surrounding King, Hunter, and Belos. NGL that heartbreak card is suspicious as fuck and will forever haunt me like Caleb's "ghost" haunts Philip.

*inhale* I LIKE LUNTER MORE THAN H//NTLOW!!!! ESPECIALLY WITH TRANS! HUNTER!! I ALSO LIKE AMWILLOW MORE THAN LUM//TY!!!!

(i just want everyone to know so they can unfollow me if they don't want to see that on their dash :-)

People will literally say "you can't ship willuz/willumity/amwillow, they're just friends, they don't have any chemistry, it makes no sense" and the they turn around and ship huntlow in the same breath

[catgirl-catboy]

Well.. I agree with you and I'm more of a Amillow person too if I have to be honest but still Amity's writing not the best and a bit clunky but I still like Lumity too

Funnily enough I never saw them as siblings after that dance scene, that was totally homoerotic but I really didn't see Adora as a sapphic because I didn't know the creator and thought "yeah they probably don't make the mc sapphic" but im glad Noelle wronged me in that regards, but Scorptra.. They really have too much potential to be great ship

And I don't like Perfuma too, Entrapta was treated like a pet -you shouldnt treat your pet like that too- and as a autistic person I was.. annoyed by that. A lot. And I still can't believe a person who is nice and caring about her friends like Scorpia would be into someone who treats Entrapta like that, this isnt like her you know?

And I get my own tag? I'm quite honoured

I do enjoy me some Amwillow too! Honestly, there's very few Willow ships I don't ship, she has too much romantic chemistry with everyone and must be stopped!

In regards to the dance scene, when you're really into a headcanon, you see what you want to see. On my second rewatch after I knew they were canon I picked up on it and really enjoyed it! That being said (side eyes those Lumity shippers) just because I was really into a siblings headcanon doesn't mean I harass others for it!

I wanted them to have a decent resolution, even if it doesn't end in them being a romantic couple. In an ideal world, I also want them to talk about the touching thing. Its played for laughs, but Catra's boundaries about touch should be respected!

Yeah, it really felt like the only reason she existed as a character is because they wanted a princess with every elemental power, but didn't bother to think of a personality for her!

(also, I hate the discourse around "if you don't know Entrapa's 30 you're ableist because she doesn't look visibly older than Adora, and the show itself goes out of its way to treat her like an unruly toddler)

Yeah! I've gotta check to make sure if I've already said something so I don't leave out important context! I am a lazy person that way.

*cries in boschluz, skarlow, willuz, and amwillow brainrot*

[davvekat]

Is there any other lunter / Huntceda shippers who ship lumity and huntlow and amwillow and willuz ?

[theprinceandthewitch]

It's time to transition from explaining how Luz and Hunter aren't siblings to posting Lunter and AmWillow kisses whenever an ignorant and unemployed roach comes looking for a fight.

[weedplantar]

listen i know i’m the world’s biggest Lumity fan but i think AmWillow is so cute <33

[porcelaintoybox23]

This is the strongest case for amwillow I’ve seen. The angst of becoming your crushes bully and having to mend that relationship

I'm sorry, but Dana Terrance wrote the Owl House and decided it makes sense for Hunter's arc to pair him up with Willow? And then wrote Amity's arc and thought it made sense to pair her up with Luz?

Amwillow and Lunter would have worked so much better from a character driven standpoint.

The way this show comes off to me...

It feels like they wanted to do an AmWillow and Lunter endgame (because of the Caleb/Eveyln parallels for the latter and how deeply tied to the plot Luz and Hunter are). But they also wanted to do Lumity - not as an endgame pairing but as one of those pairings where characters need to learn a lesson from each other before breaking up.

However, because they got botched by Disney, they couldn't develop AmWillow the way they wanted to. And they can't have them break up without Amity having another Love Interest ready to go. Because they'd get called homophobic for leaving the lesbian character "all alone".

So they had to really double down on Lumity. I think that's why Amity suddenly has all the interesting parts of her character stripped away from her. We can't have any conflict between them that could lead to a break up - she HAS to be the perfect blank-slate girlfriend for Luz.

Huntlow is a bit of a weird one because it comes off as them wanting to superficially tie Huntlow to Caleb/Evelyn.

Like they just want to keep it consistent that the Grimwalker who looks the most like Caleb (and the last clone of Caleb) would start a peaceful life with a witch. Basically tying up the end of the story with how the story started kind of situation. Even though this is really shallow because the only thing Evelyn and Willow share is that they're both witches.

[theprinceandthewitch]

Noooo but like:

Amity was totally Willow's girlfriend in the beta version... I remember seeing that EONS ago... I'm going to have to look for that info later.

No wonder why TOH gave me those "AmWillow is the actual endgame" vibes. Besides, you know, the more interesting set-up they have.

I honestly still think they want to go for that endgame. But I don't think they'd be able to do it in a way that doesn't come off as Amity using her as a rebound. Same thing for Luz with Hunter. The most likely case is that both of these relationships are going to be open-ended, but made obvious that there's SOMETHING there.
