#and how much different it was from hunter and willow's dynamic or amity and luz's

[kraviolis]

you ever think about how luz is a human who for her whole life has wanted more than anything to learn how to be magic

but then vee is magic, it's literally her life force, but she has wanted more than anything to just be a normal human girl

and hunter, caught in between the two of them because he is not magic and he is not human but he wants more than anything to learn how to be both

[sepublic]

The vocals at this part, and the music in general, really just hammer into me this sense of melancholy. That bittersweet nostalgia for the past, the pain and grief of change, everything you’ve lost and the hurt that is even more permanent... But also the bright hope for the future, that feeling of belonging that creates this homesickness. Seeing Luz grown up, part of it does feel like a return to form for her, a recovery from her trauma and the attempts to bury who she was.

But then seeing Willow start off our montage of how the Boiling Isles changed, seeing her and Hunter together and be so radically different and apart when they started... It really hits me then that it’s been years and my kids have all grown up. It’s been so much longer than the actual events of the show prior to the timeskip, multiple ‘Owl House’ stories just as dynamic could’ve happened since, several times over. And with Willow especially, she’s such a drastic step up from the meek wallflower and nerd she started as, it... It’s making me miss the old her, while also being so proud at who she’s become. Her, Hunter, Lilith, Amity, Gus... All of them.

And it all begins again with Owlbert, like we’re going through the show all over again, but reborn anew with another potential adventure ahead of us! God, Owlbert really ties it together and seeing him soar freely alongside Willow, while the light lullaby creates a sense of hopeful wonder and flight, creates an indescribable feeling...! The direction, the soundtrack, the cinematography and animation flow so well together, kudos to the team for that. It really does feel magical.

what's your favourite toh ship?

i'm genuinely not sure, i love all of the "main" ones 😭😭

lumity is obviously iconic and (since it features the protagonist) we see every little way in which their relationship develops throughout the show; it has most on-screen content/development out of all the ships. we see how they start out as sort of "rivals", how they grow closer, we see them pine for each other, we see them confess, become girlfriends, we see them during their established relationship, etc. we see how luz helps amity become her own person away from her parents' hurtful influence, we see how amity supports luz when she needs it. you know, they're silly, they're so cute, they try to communicate best to their abilities, they dress up and travel together. they're so good, love them sm.

huntlow is the ship i probably think abt most since 90% of my thoughts ever as well as conversations are related to hunter, my #1 blorbo, thus: also to hunter's relationships with people + to hunter's closest friends. since neither hunter nor willow are the main protagonist, obviously there's not as much content/attention on them (+ shorter time too but y'know) but they're still so good and well-written. they value and respect each other so much, they fit together so well and their relationship is built on being equals, they're so silly, they're losers (affectionate), they started off as friends, they're always there for each other, and ugh! love them sm.

raeda has that small sprinkle of Tragicness in itself, like they're just so cool. starting off as childhood friends, then being together only to have to break up and drift apart for decades, until time finds them again and this time they make it work. ughhghhh again, love them sm.

they're all just... very different dynamics with such complex, three-dimensional characters, it's just! they're all unique. i love them all.

first time dating a guy hcs ; hunter

requested by ; anonymous (11/04/23)

fandom(s) ; the owl house

fandom masterlist(s) ; main | hunter only

character(s) ; hunter wittebane

outline ; “Hi, How are Doing? The Owl House Finale has got me MESS UP, to say the least. I was wondering if you could do a Hunter x Reader, where its Hunters first time dating a guy. It Can be SFW, NSFW or both, I am completely fine with whatever you choose. I'm new to tumblr so if I did anything wrong then I'm incredibly sorry. Have a Wonderful day!!”

warning(s) ; none, just fluff!

hunter in general has basically no experience with relationships, which goes tenfold when it comes to relationships with men because he gets a bit too flustered to properly flirt with them

uses ‘partner’ and ‘boyfriend’ interchangeably in private but turns red if anyone calls you his boyfriend first — not in a bad way he’s just very easy to fluster when it comes to romance

enjoys casual pda like handholding and kissing the back of your hand whilst holding it — but if you kiss his cheek or cuddle against him then he’s going to turn pink and lose his ability to speak

his main pet names for you are ‘handsome’, ‘pretty boy’ and ‘babe’ — used interchangeably depending on his mood

he ends up spending a lot of time around willow’s house to seek guidance/advice from her, as his friend, and her dads, as an older and very much so in love gay couple

makes a point to tell you he loves you when you wake up and before you go to sleep — whether that’s in person or over text

loves it when you visit the workshop and you’re 100% waffle’s favourite person

del and darius call you ‘son’ for different reasons but it’s the same vibe — del because you’re always around and that’s just what he calls young lads, and darius because you’re basically his son in law in all but name

hunter loses the capacity to speak if you smile at him because he thinks you look so very handsome and it makes him forget whatever he was trying to say

very protective of you and won’t tolerate any negative treatment or judgement from others

his friends lovingly rib him about how whipped he is and amity and luz in particular will make jokes about you being his ‘awesome boyfriend’ to parallel their own dynamic

but don’t misunderstand they all love you to bits, they just also love making fun of your boyfriend

[numericalbridge]

What annoys me is that there is a very clear potential for well developed, multi-faceted interactions between Luz and Willow and Gus, from just what we know about the characters: Gus is the one with the experience of getting tricked, so why not use it for some scenes with Luz in s3? but on the other hand his experience with school is very different from Luz's and Willow's, so that is also something worthy to explore in earlier seasons. Luz and Willow had instantly clicked upon their meeting, but they changed during the course of the show - how does that affects their relationship? Maybe dig deeper into how Willow feels about lumity. They all also feel very responsible for things going wrong, so why not develop that bond?

Instead the show feels outright dismissive of their dynamic by season 2, and then the fandom treats that as an excuse to be like 'oh, their relationship is just cute friendship, so the show could not do anything interesting with it and had to focus on their 'complicated' relationships with white characters' (but curious how even Gus&Willow's relationship with Eda that was present through s1 was never developed even after they were trying to save her, while she got to mentor the Blight twins).

And others had noted how the show needs to involve a white person into most of the romantic relationships, but it feels like the same is true with most of the deeper platonic relationships as well. And, ok, i think another part of the problem is just the writing style and that at times toh seems to really weasel out of the conflict between the core characters, but Amity and Hunter have so much more serious interactions with Luz. And problems with sidelining Gus and then Willow started long before the shortening.

But the show also downplays even the friendship between Willow and Gus: Gus has no real involvement in Understanding Willow - as i've already complained about, and in Glass Ruins Willow's injury is just mentioned in the opening and is never brought up again.

It is so frustrating because this drags the whole show down for me. Obviously the clear prioritizing of the white characters over Willow and Gus, but also just from the technical writing stand point the arcs end up very unbalanced and sometimes the writing choices to remove Gus and Willow out of the picture are just plainly lazy. If Gus and Willow and their friendship with Luz were treated with the same importance - even if after the shortening it was just a moment here or there - it would remove like half of my complaints about the show.

maybe it’s a me problem but for the life of me i cannot figure out why people believe willow is supposed to be the evelyn to hunter’s caleb (besides just being his LI), when there’s a point to hunter’s first act of defiance to belos being show in HP, the episode that establishes his dynamic with luz.

and besides, the plot contrivances in both HP and ASIAS make it clear that there are so many more things at play into hunter choosing to help willow and co, whereas in HP the laser focus in hunter and luz make it abundantly clear that he’s choosing this for luz’s sake and her sake alone.

a big difference between hunter’s behavior towards the respective female leads in HP and ASIAS is that in the later hunter is deceiving willow, while in the former hunter and luz are very aware of each other’s real identities. so i guess it’s a little unfair to consider this a failing in the willow/hunter dynamic... is what i would say if HP didn’t make a real point about hunter opening out to luz about his upbringing out of his own volition.

this is way different in ASIAS because willow reaches out to hunter because he seems like a good candidate for her flyer derby team, a sport she’s been passionate about ever since S1:

...but hunter has no interest in flyer derby at all, and instead chooses to play along because he thinks there’s great potential in willow and the rest of the flyer derby members for his own motives.

compare this to HP, where luz and hunter have formed a truce to serve their personal interests at the moment, which leads to the moment where luz’s enthusiasm for learning and conjuring magic overlaps with hunter’s deep interest and knowledge about the subject.

hunter is so excited to share his knowledge about magic that he interrupts luz, finishes her sentence and causes her to look at him in shock. and even when hunter realizes what he’s done and retracts a little, he can’t help but continue to talk about magic with luz and she then shares his excitement, leaning into him and smiling too. this marks the first time they talk to each other in friendly terms: out of their shared passion of magic.

...to the point that he has to stop himself because at that point, the only thing that overtakes his interest in magic is what he perceives as the history of his ancestors.

none of this is found in ASIAS because hunter is decisive about faking his enthusiasm in the beginning.

moreover, this moment leads to luz asking him about what made him join the emperor’s coven. and upon this tiny opening of friendliness between the two of them, hunter chooses to be honest and share about his family’s history and his motives to luz. again, HUGE change from ASIAS in which at no point hunter trusts willow enough to be that vulnerable with her before his talk with steve.

i believe this later encounter with luz rings much more true to caleb and evelyn’s dynamic. we know from belos’ account of the story that evelyn “enticed” caleb with magic to abandon his side, but since we’re meant to question belos’ skewed view, i’d say it’s much more likely that caleb grew to be interested in this magic and that eventually this changed his perception of witches and took evelyn’s side. and this is not what happens with willow in ASIAS: hunter considers her a pawn for his desire to prove himself to belos (he wants to bring her to his side), while HP makes it so hunter and luz have genuine bonding moments before he makes the decision to let her go.

so, second point: every episode that centers around hunter’s dynamic with each one of the hexsquad members features something that i call the Hunter Projection Scene™, which is basically the one point in the episode where hunter makes assumptions or attempts to understand the character in question by comparing them to an aspect he finds on himself. [if you’re interested here’s how i rank them by how effective they are: luz (HP) > amity (EL) > gus (LR) > willow (ASIAS)]

in ASIAS, the Hunter Projection Scene™ happens after hunter leaves the hexside courtyard after his first impression of the flyer derby team.

enough people have talked about how meaningless the half-a-witch comment is so i’ll just say that it’s mega-weird that hunter calls her that to her face after seeing absolutely 0 people refer to her that way, and his only impressions of willow being that she’s really fucking good in her magic track. moreover, i dislike this moment because hunter doesn’t make the decision to come back: he’s just pulled back to the courtyard by willow’s doing. granted that he immediately changes his mind, but still. this moment could’ve been so much better if he had made the choice, just like in HP he makes the conscious choice to let luz go - a natural outcome of him opening up to luz and her returning the favor just a moment later by giving hunter his staff back:

the fact that willow’s action strips hunter from of his agency, while luz gives hunter what she knows is his only source of his magic, also works in favor of HP and their relationship. going back to caleb and evelyn, at this point is abundantly clear that flapjack used to be caleb’s palisman and evelyn either carved it for him or instructed him/gave him the necessary tools to do so. therefore, the moment where luz returns the staff to hunter works as a small scale parallel to evelyn and caleb’s relationship, while luz introducing flapjack to hunter works on the larger scale.

and hey, speaking of the half-a-witch thing, luz gets two Hunter Projection Scenes™! isn’t that neat? the first one deals with the knowledge that both of them can’t cast magic conventionally as other witches in the demon realm can, as well as hunter’s acknowledgment that belos thrusts a magic staff into his apprentice and tells him he’s destined to Great Things - which is the exact opposite situation that eda and luz had going on in early S1. however, i think the second one is more subtle and way more impactful in the development of the episode:

which has its payoff at the end of the episode, when hunter is the one who didn’t think this through. his reluctant truce with the human has lead him to change his perception of luz, to the point that he’s too nice to just “blast her to bits”.

this is also something that i believe rings true for evelyn and caleb. i think it’s safe to say that caleb never pictured doing anything other than witch-hunting: it’s clear from how attached belos is to the idea of his brother “betraying” him upon meeting evelyn - and it’s her influence that caused him to rethink his life choices. luz’s behavior in this episode is the sole catalyst of hunter deciding to disobey the emperor’s orders just to let luz go.

in ASIAS, since willow shares the spotlight with a bunch of other characters that help to steer hunter’s mind, the result is a bit more diluted. so we have gus who says this at the beginning:

then, hunter’s surprise when he realizes the members of the flyer derby team are actually pretty competent at what they do and the camaraderie they form during the game.

(this is what i think the episode mostly succeeds at: giving hunter a chance to experience real teamwork between people at his level, and realizing that he really likes it.)

then we have darius’ disappointment in hunter. as the catalyst of hunter’s actions during the episode, he’s also the one who kickstarts hunter’s doubts.

and finally, steve works as a talking conscience for hunter to realize the mistake he’s made.

it’s only after realizing what belos will do to the palismen that hunter decides to liberate them.

this is an aspect that is so deliberately absent in HP: luz brings up the harm belos will cause to the palismen and hunter’s determination is unchanged.

and it’s understandable why hunter doesn’t really mind that: at that point, he only saw the palismen as something his uncle and mentor needed to feast on to mitigate his pain. after all, it’s only after this confrontation that flapjack decides to become hunter’s palisman. this is correctly accounted for in ASIAS. but you see what the problem is, right? hunter’s guilt about what he did to the derby team (essentially taking away their right to make a choice about their lives - exactly what he tells luz he wanted to have [”at least you can choose your future”]) is not enough to spring him into action. it’s only when the emotional appeal of hunter’s connection to his palisman is brought up that he changes his mind. it’s not for the team’s sake, let alone willow’s.

since HP does not count with this situation, though, hunter’s reason to avoid fighting with luz is...

...her appeal to the connection that forms between them.

it’s luz’s sheer disappointment in him betraying her after she grows to respect his agency that hunter turns visibly afflicted by her words (literally luz implying that he’s not her friend!!!) that causes him to hold off from his intentions of stopping her.

there’s also the fact that the resolution in ASIAS is just so... blegh. like starting from the fact that darius didn’t even have the intentions of delivering the kids to the emperor’s coven to begin with. this smashes any sort of gravity from the initial situation, and while i do like darius’ presence and actions in this episode for the most part, i wish there would’ve been another way to maintain the stakes of the conflict while showing the first signs of darius’ rebellion against the emperor. i also dislike that hunter attempts to free them from darius by telling him, in front of the team, that they’re unfit for the emperor’s coven - even if he also is self-deprecating by saying he’s unfit to be the GG. like wasn’t there another way to make it so it doesn’t sound like he’s insulting the flyer derby team? lol

going back to HP, it’s clear by that point that hunter holds more than some semblance of respect for luz, because not only he refuses to fight her: he chooses to be vulnerable with her once again, sharing his name to luz.

also, he does this as a response to her reducing his persona to the title of “golden guard”. this is the first time hunter goes against the notion that he’s destined to one path only.

and not only that, but as soon as kikimora begins fighting the both of them, he completely takes the heat off luz by going aggro on her.

he makes use of the agency luz lend him (which, i should remind you, makes her significantly more vulnerable to hunter if he decides to attack her) and decides to fight on her side. he could’ve just walked away and let luz deal with her, since their truce is now over, but he chooses to stay by distracting kikimora and even defending luz from her - to the point that luz doesn’t even have to use her magic to make it out of there.

this is something that looses its impact in ASIAS because willow and her flyer derby team are the first ones to fight - and even after hunter arrives to the scuffle, he only steps in after darius defeats the kids and has them cornered. i think it would’ve been way more impactful if, just like it happens in HP, hunter deliberately fought a coven head.

this is something that i love in HP because as luz is flying away, kikimora says this:

if at that point hunter somehow forgot about his official duties and the impact of his choice in that moment, kikimora reminds him of the real stakes: by letting luz go, hunter is purposefully disobeying the orders from the emperor. yet after kikimora yells these words, hunter continues to fight her until she passes out.

(also i love this little smile, after the emperor expresses his full disappointment on what hunter did. like this kid is just so proud of having taken the decision to protect luz and disobey his uncle. what the FUCK)

and this moment is night and day compared to how hunter approaches the conflict during ASIAS: he appeals to the rules of the emperor by implying that he’ll step out of the GG role if necessary. not only this, but he begs willow to go along with his plan. willow and co leave the scene on hunter’s terms. and i think it’s such an interesting parallel that luz leaves hunter having been gifted the knowledge of his real name, while willow’s last remark is sad and out of spite, referring to hunter with his fake name.

again, going back to evelyn and caleb: caleb betrayed phillip in order to be with evelyn. he took her side. this is not what happens in ASIAS: this is what happens in HP. hunter’s just lucky that darius isn’t an uptight asshole.

look. i’ve made it clear in my posts that i’m biased towards lunter, but i’m not even asking you to see the HP scenes in a romantic light. i’m just suggesting that HP pulls off hunter’s first act of defiance against belos in a way that frames luz as the reason why he does it, whereas in ASIAS hunter’s connection with willow is meddled by 1) the presence of three other people that hunter grows to respect in the EE, 2) the effect of darius’ disappointment on him and 3) his newfound connection with flapjack re-framing how he sees belos’ actions towards palismen. and in that case, the parallels to evelyn fit luz way, waaaay better than with willow.

When people say luz is a lesbian

SHE IS A BISEXUAL ICON AND LITERALLY WEARS A BI PIN IN THANKS TO THEM

SHE HAS SHOWN INTERESTS IN MEN AND WOMEN

PEOPLE STOP ERASING HER ATTRACTION TO MEN JUST BECAUSE SHES DATING A GIRL

SHES STILL BISEXUAL

(This is NOT lumity salt. I love them.)

Also when people say huntlow was rushed and forced as if Hunter didn’t blush in the first episode they met and they don’t have lumity parallels and as if the show wasn’t cut short

oh yeah that shit's infuriating. the crew didn't include a coming-out scene (albeit short) for ppl to claim Luz is a lesbian like 😬 have some respect for bisexual folks (i've never seen anyone do this yet tho, guess i'm lucky lol)

btw this is not to say lesbian hcs are bad, i love my lesbians and bi pals equally. but not only do we already have a canon lesbian (Amity) there are plenty of characters you can headcanon as well (Viney, Emira, Skara, Boscha, etc. hell i even saw ppl giving this hc to Raine)

as for Huntlow, i can kiiiind of see why ppl would be upset, but for the bad reasons imo. first of all you're right, the show has been shortened and Huntlow, despite being in the works since day one, suffered from this, so it's not the crew's fault who did an amazing job at making it canon (btw remember that post i made like 'uuuh i hope Huntlow will stay open for interpretation blabla'?? yeah fuck that, it was stupid)

second of all, i've seen complaints about how they didn't get as much screentime as Lumity, and that's dumb for 2 reasons. not only did Hunter meet Willow during season 2B (you know, when the show suddenly got shortened) and Lumity had time to develop throughout season 1 and season 2A, but Luz is the main character. like it or not, it makes sense for her romance to be more developed and have more screentime than Willow's

you can dislike Huntlow ofc, but at least be coherent, or just be honest and say you just don't seen them together/prefer different dynamics for them

sorry for the sudden rant lol but i get your grips bestie </3

[crimeronan]

Would AU Amity who i’m guessing actually does care (a lil) about Hunter be worried about Willow telling both Luz and Hunter the truthTM? Being a jackass is standard procedure at the castle, Luz is too nice and would find a way to understand why Amity bullied Willow, while Hunter would use it endlessly against Amity in their typical I hate you but not fashion. I’m reallllyyyy interested in Amity’s feelings though. As much as she’s like idc this is solo business she’d probably feel *something* and maybe a tad afraid Luz and Hunter might see her differently? Idk, what do you think?

oh, i think amity is going to be TERRIFIED having willow in the castle. she's not afraid Of willow, but she's definitely afraid of what willow being here will mean for her reputation. especially since both hunter and luz seem to like her so much.

the part of amity that's still sorting everything into rankings and power dynamics is like "wow, how awful and ironic would it be if willow ends up outranking me just because of our petty rivalry from high school??"

and the part of her that feels like shit all the time is like "oh wow, i'm about to lose hunter AND luz forever when they were barely even my friends in the first place."

[edalynn]

Idk if I've already said this before, but H/L is like- if you look at just the surface-level concept of it, it seems fine and like it could possibly be good rep.

Interracial bi x pan couple with a plus size girl, where she's powerful and her bf is magicless, and he's genuinely amazed by her power and doesn't feel emasculated by it? That sounds cute.

But the second you actually zoom in and look at their *canon* personalities and dynamic, it doesn't work.

There's no chemistry between them, and their dynamic hadn't gotten any development since the episode where they met (half a season ago) until FtF decided to be bad fanfiction made canon and pretended like their relationship is developed enough to justify giving nods to the ship (which led to a lot of fans considering it canon), despite it getting no focus at all until then.

Plus neither of their orientations are actually shown in the writing the way Luz and Eda's are, defeating that representation point. With Hunter there's at least that one blink-and-you'll-miss-it flag (which is not good rep, sorry, at least have him wear it for a good chunk of the episode like Luz did), but with Willow there's literally nothing indicating orientation.

And the ship took away screen time from more important things that could've been focused on, like showing more of Hunter's dynamic with Luz and Camila, or having Amity be the one to reassure Willow during her breakdown, since she started the "half a witch" nickname, and it would've been much more fitting and meaningful for *her* to be the one to end it. Or it could've been Gus! He's been Willow's friend for years, much longer than the others, and I just don't buy that Hunter developed a more deep and meaningful relationship with her over a couple months than Gus had over years. (Or it could've been both Amity *and* Gus)

Plus there's everything you've talked about with how the foundation of this relationship isn't healthy, particularly in the common interpretation of it as something that happened during seasons 2 & 3 and not during the timeskip.

[I mention the surface-level ideas (interracial bi x pan ship with a plus size girl, magicless x powerful, etc) in part because I realized I have a pair in my original stuff that fits the surface-level descriptors, but their personalities are different, and I'm aiming to have them actually have chemistry. It works better at least in part because it's *my* idea and not something other people shoved into my world that I had no intention of writing. The pair is even technically "straight passing", though the girl is a transfem enby (they/she). They're also both in their late 20s/early 30s, so they're not teens]

It really does sound great barebones until you realize Willow has barely spoken to Hunter more than a few times, Hunter has been out of character flustered around her for no reason in really weird and out of place scenes, and Willow hasn’t showed any interest in a relationship with anyone the entire season, always making a point to focus on her own self-growth rather than looking for outside affirmation. For hunt//low to be even worthy of being considered a well-written and developed ship, the characters’ relationship to each other would have had to been actually developed lmao. There’s no background to the entire plot of FtF between the two of them other than being sort of friends for the last few episodes. They barely know each other, and with how badly Hunter is still shown to have PTSD and trauma from his very recent past it makes it very OOC for any of FtF to happen the way it did.

And unfortunately, you’re right about the lack of representation from them. Okay, you can say as much as you want that Hunter is bi rep and Willow is pan rep, but unless it’s actually shown in the show it doesn’t mean fuck all. Okay, Hunter has a patch. That’s it. Willow doesn’t even show interest in a romantic relationship the entire length of the series, so I’d even be more inclined to call that an implication of her being aroace if I really wanted to be a stickler about it. Our two canon relationships, lumity and raeda, have both Luz showing interest in guy and girls as well as Eda showing interest in guys while having been in a relationship with a nonbinary person in the past (and currently, now). That’s what representation is- it being shown in the actual piece of media rather than tacked on as trivia after the fact. Plus, Dana literally said that everything she said after the show ended was her headcanon and should only be taken as headcanon and not canon as the media technically doesn’t even belong to her anymore 🙃 She said that unless it is explicitly stated in the show, it is not actually canon, and unless I’m losing my mind hunt//low was never canonized in the show before, during, or even after the series :-) If you want to believe their orientations are canon, then fine. But that imo shows poorly on TOH for not actually showing them as representation and barely sneaking in one patch for Hunter in a half a second scene.

And the fact that their bullshit scenes in FtF take up time where we could’ve gotten more plot related content will never stop pissing me off. I hadn’t thought about the concept of Amity helping Willow, but now that you’ve brought it up I actually think that would’ve made the conclusions to Willow’s arc far more satisfying and meaningful. Amity and Willow rebuilding their friendship has always had way more of an impact on the story than Hunter and Willow’s “friendship” “developing”. In fact, I’d consider it a MAJOR point in her arc, something that colors her character’s place in the story and what helps her to overcome part of her struggles even. There was no reason to waste that space on Hunter, and would’ve got rid of the dumb, uncomfortably written Boscha mess with Amity. And in doing that, they could’ve used that time to wrap up Hunter’s arc in any sense, rather than tabling his entire storyline to be Willow’s savior. They should’ve scrapped any Hunter and Willow storyline out of the third season all together, being as they clearly didn’t have the proper time to develop it in any way other than coming off as bad fanfiction written by a 12 year old.

The concept for the relationship really is a good and interesting one, but the story of TOH clearly wasn’t built for that to work and any nods to it came off as a toddler trying to shove a square block into a round hole. Your original work already sounds far more developed and well rounded just from a few sentences in comparison to an entire ask-long essay about hunt//low’s actual scenes/interactions in the show. And the worst part is, they’d have to tweak Willow’s entire personality to get it to work.

Your point on OK KO compared to Amphibia reminds me... I've never liked the claim that if TOH season 3 had more episodes, people would complain about the earth segment as much as they did Amphibia's. Because there's a very clear difference between the two.

For starters, despite its shortening TOH actually made room to acknowledge the emotional fallout of season 2. We got to see Luz struggle and cope, we saw how the other kids missed their families, there was still moments of legitimate seriousness and acknowledgement for what happened. Luz's repression was treated as an actual problem, and not a convenient excuse for the writers.

I think people would be way less critical of Amphibia 3A's slice of life aspects if it managed to at least acknowledge the darker parts. Before 3A, I absolutely expected the show to go back to some goofy antics because that's just how Amphibia works, and the season 3 intro made that clear; But I expected for the writers to at least transition us into that tonal shift, by giving us an episode for the characters to cope and reflect before they have fun fillers as a much-needed break.

The problem with Amphibia is that there is no transition; 3A picks up mere seconds after True Colors, and the tone has notably been shifted to something jarringly casual without any explanation for that change. There's a joke where Anne shows more emotion towards wi-fi than her closest childhood friend getting stabbed. And in spite of everyone insisting 3B would deliver on the much-needed angst and acknowledgement, Anne magically forgives Sasha for no reason, and continues to show no lack of concern for Marcy (in addition to 3B continuing the goofy antics until the last minute... We did NOT need Sprivy, nor for the lore episode about the prophecy to be taken up by a gross-out sequence).

If TOH's earth segment wasn't compressed, it's clear that we still would've gotten acknowledgement for the characters' trauma and some slice of life. Amphibia has a full third season and can only do the latter. Plus, your point on Ronaldo from SU brings up another difference;

People actually like Luz's friends. People are actually interested in seeing them interact, seeing them adjust to and explore the human world. The human world was a formative experience for Luz and essentially her backstory, whereas with Anne, it's mostly Sasha and Marcy, who are back in Amphibia. Luz's friends are side characters and yet are treated with so much more emotional depth, consistency, and weight than the Plantars; They're much more dynamic.

After the successive trauma of 2B, seeing these kids decompress actually feels earned; People wanted to explore their interactions with each other, various storylines! Luz and Vee being sisters, Hunter getting to be an actual kid after having been a child soldier all his life... Gus' reaction to the human world, given it's such a big deal to his character, or Amity and Willow rebuilding their friendship! The writers would've given us Vee and Hunter acknowledging their tense connection over the Emperor's Coven, that much was confirmed!

We actually wanted and needed to see these kids explore this new situation. But with the Plantars, we've already had two whole seasons of them doing the same old goofy antics, nobody really cared or was hyped up to see their reaction to the human world. At best there was their interactions with Anne's parents, but that part is brief compared to the rest of 3A. We didn't need to see the Plantars go back to being silly, we needed to see them be treated seriously too! And Anne, for that matter. Coming from someone who actually put in the effort to try and analyze and engage with the Plantars and appreciate them, it feels like the writers neglect fleshing them out as well.

TOH's slice-of-life feels earned and with characters people actually want to explore in different situations and interactions. With Amphibia, we finally began to delve into something more serious, only to immediately back out without any narrative nor in-universe transition to this casual tone. The fallacy that "People would also complain about filler if TOH's season 3 wasn't shortened" is always from Amphibia fans who are trying to defend 3A, and are disgruntled seeing their show compared to TOH, acting like it's a mystery TOH is preferred.

I do have some thoughts on this.

I pretty much agree with what you said. Allow me to go on a little tangent:

With how plot-focused most stories need to be right now due to the shifting format of distribution (the binge model and the generally shortened attention span of an average fandom) many people began treating SoL episodes as filler.

Now, what is filler really? I'm an old-school weeb, so that word always had only one meaning. A non-canon arc, something straying from the source material because the adaptation caught up.

In the context of something like Amphibia, Steven Universe, or TOH, it would mean an episode that has no bearing on the plot, something you can skip with no consequences to your understanding of the main storyline. By that logic not all SoL episodes are filler, in fact, if they lead to persistent character development, they can be more important to the story than anything else in the show.

The difference between TOH and Amphibia is mostly the quality of character writing. I joked with my friends that if TOH had a full s3 I would gladly watch a Hooty lore episode. I hard agree with the sentiment that TOH SoL episodes would land. They would allow for better pacing, we would get a proper set up for hard hitting emotional moments, a whole episode of lead up to Hunter getting a haircut, loaded with symbolism and his identity crisis. There's a lot to dig into with those characters because they have enough dimension to them to allow every single one to carry an episode if so desired.

With Anne and the Plantars, there's a very limited amount of things you can reasonably do before it gets old. To prevent it, they would actually have to make character development stick. They would have to build upon the lessons learned from previous episodes, they would have to write characters that Think and Grow. There are moments that show some of that, a genuine flash of something really good. There aren't many of them in s3 though. Static characters can work, many sitcoms have a cast of completely static characters that never really substantially grow or change. At some point you need to bite the bullet though, either you have a plot that hinges on substantial character development of your main cast, or you have a silly goofy "put the guys in a situation" show.

I've heard that Disney in fact meddled with the writing of s3. They had to lighten the tone, which is ridiculous when stuff like The Core still happened with a literal electric chair scene. The tonal whiplash is so severe many people expressed feeling as if they were watching two completely different shows. It's a fatal flaw that left neither side of the fandom satisfied.

Some shows feel like you could watch 10 more seasons of the same thing. I would watch endless spinoffs of TOH. I would watch more Adventure Time and I will watch Fiona and Cake spinoff.

I've had quite enough of Amphibia.

I write about a character per day

Day 15: Hunter

(Don't worry I'm not abandoning this yet, I'm just very tired)

Hunter Deamonne-Clawthorne-Noceda-Park-Wittebane-insert-whatever-you-want-here is an interesting character to say the least. He has arguably the best redemption arc throughout the show that was unfortunately sacrificed by his best friend and palisman. This boy can contain so much traumatic experiences.

A character that was only introduced in Season 2, yet having so much depth than even some main characters. From an annoying brat to completely traumatized kid that need intensive therapy. My god, so many things cramped into this child in 21 episodes.

Hunter before and after Hollow Mind really was two completely different people, despite trying his best to be the same, so I want to go for it first. Everything built up for Hunter before Hollow Mind was intense. Complete alienation from the life outside the castle, starting to doubt his "uncle", actually truce and cooperate with Luz in Hunting Palisman, and even doubting himself. And then Hollow Mind came like a trainwreck.

Belos was too good of a manipulator, he made Hunter completely trust him, even at doubt times inside his real mind. Only when he witnessed the graveyard of Golden Guard, all hell broke loose. Nothing Belos said is true anymore, all those masks used to be like him. And in a moment of desperation, fleeing away is the solution he considered, which to me is reasonable. That moment when you started doubting everything, the moment of ultimate betrayal, definitely had a toll on him. From a kid with only one purpose, he's now panicking, disoriented, and traumatized beyond recognition, trying to be strong for Gus in Labyrinth Runners but still seems shakingly anxious inside. This poor boy was starting to recover when in the Human realm, only to be traumatized again by Belos, with the loss of Flapjack on top. He is only related to Belos as a grimwalker of his brother, everything else Belos used this kid like a puppet. You don't need me to repeat the bad things Belos did to know that part.

Considering Luz and co missions were being meddled the most by the Golden Guard, it truly is a heartbreaking moment when she considered Hunter a family member. Look, compare all you want about Steven Universe being too "merciful and forgiveful", that is an incredibly kind act of her. Communication is so important. Acceptance and forgiveness is not forgetting what they did (that's revisionism), but to acknowledge their desire to change and get better. The person who just a few episodes ago were yelling at her for keeping them trapped in Belos' mind, was crying next to her, the tears of acceptance and relief. A person who followed every imperial order, now fights back the imperialist to his life. Luz changed Hunter's life in such a drastic way that changed this boy forever.

It's honestly really funny that the community thinks Amity and Hunter just despite each other. They have one episode fighting each other and probably some small fun-awkward-look from Amity. But really, after that dreadful day at Eclipse Lake, they got along really well, I just think it's funny to point it out.

One of the greatest dynamics of the show is Hunter and Willow, between the captain and her best player. Huntlow is an incredibly fun couple to watch, with the rapid rate of clues about them being canon, to Zeno Robinson's trolling on twitter about "advanced friendship" (I mean, yeah it's very advanced indeed I guess). The fact that one was always there when the other was at their lowest is amazing to me. She made him feel accepted for the first time, he got her out of her immense breakdown. Through the entire time in the Human realm, Willow was so supportive to Hunter, and that genuinely made him happy. It's just so beautiful.

Gus is a great friend/teammate/brother for Hunter, and they really only started interacting at the last quarter of Season 2 (yes you can see how the cancellation affected the show, so many interactions were robbed). The times spent in Camila's basement is priceless, bonding them with a mutual interest in Cosmic Frontier. Labyrinth Runners was a great episode, as Gus indirectly helped Hunter getting accepted in Hexside.

No other character in the show had a stronger bond with their palisman than Hunter and Flapjack. Flapjack was the only friend in the castle for Hunter, and so many times Flapjack just decided to do things for Hunter's good. Flapjack just can't stand Hunter being too closed towards everyone, he loved pulling Hunter's hair to make him talk. Just no one understands Flapjack more than Hunter. The scene Flapjack sacrificed himself for Hunter is truly the saddest scene throughout the show. Hunter still can feel Flapjack in his heart, but it just doesn't feel right anymore, which reminds me of the first Stevonnie experience. My poor boy was having the first glimpse of happiness only to be traumatized again.

Honestly I am not the biggest Hunter fan, nor is he my all-time favourite, but Hunter's redemption arc is so good, and I wished we had more scenes of this boy being happy.

[aroacemisha]

I hate how the show metaphorically "defanged" Hunter and Amity once they got redeemed or started on the redemption path

Like you could argue that maybe it was a front but I feel like a lot of their humour and wit was gone in favour of them being clumsy/incompetent and lovesick

N I feel like the fandom ran with this especially with hunter being reduced to an incompetent malewife in fanwork

I don't have much of an issue with Amity tbh, and I think in the show the clumsy and lovesick stuff was mostly in season 2, not so much in season 3, she got used to dating Luz by that point. Maybe the fandom exaggerates it, but I haven't noticed it. She also does keep some of her wit in the show.

But Hunter feels like he's just a completely different person now. He was so fun as the GG in early season 2, and then he was gradually turned into an uwu softie with no edge and that sucks.

And even though so much of his story was about becoming his own person and finding his own identity, he looks a lot like Caleb in the epilogue, and it seems Caleb was into carving as well, he may have even started the Clawthorne family palisman carving tradition- Hunter is more like Caleb now than he was at the start. That's a bad ending.

The clumsy/incompetent and lovesick stuff is really annoying with Hunter- All of the "shippy" stuff with him honestly is, it's forced and unnecessary.

Huntl0w was a thing a few crew members shoved in and were repeatedly told to tone down, the two barely interact, and the entire "buildup" to the "romance" is a bunch of small, barely noticeable blushes from Hunter. I'd call it poorly written, but it isn't even actually written. A bunch of small blushes and other forced "Huntl0w moments" are superficially added on top of a story that doesn't actually build a relationship between them.

(Side note, the ship wasn't even actually confirmed in the show? It gave just enough fan service to shippers, while keeping it ambiguous enough that you don't have to read it as romantic)

Both characters (especially Willow) often get reduced to just the ship and are not allowed to exist outside of it by the fandom, and they tend to be flanderized and/or out of character, probably in part because their actual personalities don't mesh that well together.

A mutual of mine also pointed out that the girlboss/malewife dynamic people try to shove them into is actually kinda icky, given that Hunter just escaped an abuser who he worshiped and submitted to as an authority figure. It just feels like he's replacing one authority figure with another, replicating the dynamic that he's used to and that feels familiar to him.

[opinated-user]

"The only reason people ship Hutlow is because Luz and Amity are taken" - This pretty much epitomises her porn addict, himejoshi brainrot on full display.

She makes sure that nobody else can give their own input like "I think its cute" or "I like whats been shown of their growth/chemistry", nope Lily needs to decree it before individuals do that pesky thing called sharing a viewpoint.

it's ironically the same lack of charity with a good helping of venom she gives Catradora shippers, despite those characters being leagues different. "No, you CAN'T have any good reason to like this, because I gave you only ONE BAD reason as an option!"

that is exacty how she treats all her media takes, including SU. it can't be that anyone else has any intepretation about the story or can benefit from watching SU. it can only be sympathizing with nazis and it can only have a bad effect on people, simply because LO said that it does and she won't admit anything else. i also find... very telling that the only time that she can say anything about Willow is when she calls her boring when shipper with Hunter. it doesn't really help as a defense against all the accusation of being racist against asian people to ignore completely a main asian character and bash her like that for daring to date a boy. i don't particularly care about any ship on the show, but i can see why someone might find Huntlow cute. a strong willed sporty girl with a dorky boy learning about friendship and lower his guard is a strong ship dynamic that has a lot of potential.

The Owl House Watching and Dreaming review/analysis part 2

Part 2 The Collector's Origins, Amity and Raine breaking free

While I'm still don't really like the Collector a lot as a character and I think that a lot of people are way too forgiving of them considering how much damaged he caused, I do think the way this episode handles the obvious direction they were taking their character to be really well executed. They work well as the chaotic but ultimately forgivable antagonist compared to Belos's calculated pure evil and I think they play a good role in this episode. Him being a younger god like being who is incapable of understanding death and the harm that they cause on other's is really interesting and plays into a major plot point later on in a powerful way.

I think now is a good moment to mention that I really appreciate how this episode really focuses on the other biggest emotional core of this series which is the adopted Owl family. The found family dynamic between the human Luz, Eda and King has always been really strong and is where the everything started. Three outcasts who didn't fit in because of their differences were able to come together and not fit in together, becoming a found family and showing that the people that matter most are those who love and accept you for who you are. And I love that after they break free from their nightmares and surviving the Collector's games, the Owl family and especially Luz are able to use their immense empathy to relate their own experiences to the Collector's experiences. It's here that we get a proper explanation of the Collector's origins of originally being from a family of Collectors, and that their older siblings are known as the Archivists. According to the Collector, the Archivists had sent them down to the Boiling Isles to get him out of their business and while they were actually able to make friends with the baby Titans, the Archivists were not happy after discovering the Titans themselves and the fact that their powers can cancel out their own. Because they saw the Titans as a threat, they wiped them out but not before King's dad had hid King away and sealed away the Collector, believing them to be the main threat. The whole thing was clearly very messy with some misunderstandings, but what we learn for certain is that the Archivists are the true villains of this situation.

Raine playing a big role in this finale was pretty cool. They've been such a great character throughout the series and are some of best nonbinary representation in any story with how well they've been written. They finally get to start breaking free from Belos's control while Belos was on his way to the Titan's heart and while it was always obvious, it was pretty cool to see even Belos recognising their strength. They tried their hardest, even making one last desperate attempt by banging the violin on ground but was just unlucky and Belos was able to slip through a small hole in the magic barrier.

Speaking of strong witches, Amity being strong enough to regain her autonomy enough to draw the light glyph while she was a puppet was an awesome moment and what makes this moment even more special is that I think this is the first time she has drawn a glyph successfully. And just like it was Luz's love for Amity that allowed her to break free from her nightmare, I like to think that it was Amity's love for Luz that gave her the strength to draw the glyph. She uses what her girlfriend had taught her to help her break herself and her friends free from being Collector puppets. Amity, Willow, Gus and Hunter end up having to save everybody who was turned into puppets and being kept in the archives. I suppose it's now that I'll mention Hunter because I won't otherwise because I still really don't care about him and I never will but I am so happy that they kept him out of the big final battle. As perfect as most of this show is and with how important it has been for it's representation, my one problem is the fact that they decided to introduce this generic cishet white edgeboy and suddenly started pushing him as one of the most important characters to the detriment of the much more interesting queer and poc main characters and sometimes even Luz, the character who is supposed to be the main character. I'm just so relieved that they knew to stop pushing Hunter so hard as a white saviour and to actually let their queer afro Latina protagonist get to be the hero in the end.

So the Owl family is able to relate to the Collector, but to really connect with him Luz decided to take them the places where she was able to connect with other people while sharing her stories. The first place being the Owl House itself, or "the bird house" as the Collector calls it. It's where she properly got to know her now found family of Eda the Witch, King the Titan, Owlbert the Palisman and Hooty the Door. The weirdos that came together and accepted each other when they needed it, just like they were doing with the Collector. The next place they go is the Grudby court which also feels like it could be a stand in for Hexside in general because it represents Luz finding her friends and the love of her life. Where she met other outcasts Willow and Gus and they became close friends, and also where she met and was able to break down the rough exterior of former bully but now loving girlfriend Amity Blight.

The final place they go to is the Knee, the Titan's knee where Eda had taught Luz how to connect with the Boiling Isles or rather the Titan itself, where she was able to learn the Ice glyph with the help of the Titan is great foreshadowing for when we get to meet the Titan in person. The Collector themself even mentions in this moment that he's jealous that the Titan had showed Luz the glyphs and not them. Even though you could have made the assumption, this is our confirmation that the Titan really has been helping Luz to find the glyphs this whole time. The way this comes up, and the way this episode is able to brilliantly wrap up all these mysteries and plot points was very satisfying. This show has always been great at bringing back small plot details and paying them off in a big way. After hearing about all of Luz's adventures and about all the family and friends she's made along the way, the Collector makes the assumption that she must have somehow forced people like her own girlfriend Amity and her cool aunt Lilith who had started off as adversaries into liking her. But as is explained by Luz, people are complicated and sometimes they just need some kindness and forgiveness. There is more to people then what we see on the surface, and sometimes if you are able to see past someone's hard exterior you can reach the kind person on the inside and maybe even bring them to the surface. Throughout the series Luz with her kindness and sincerity has been able to do this for a lot of people, and now she's showing this kindness and sincerity to the Collector.
