part of me: yeah i mean it's mayyybe for the better that amity didn't get a hooked nose *in canon*, considering that feature is stereotypically associated with jewish people, and amity was initially introduced as an antagonist with a wealthy and powerful family, and that fact could have played into some bad stereotypes before her and her family got more fleshed out

also me: but also i am ethnically jewish and have a prominent nose and i just really wish there were more female major characters w features like that who aren't treated as ugly by the narrative and i like her i think it would be neat if she had a hooked nose like her dad

#sidenote:#i am very relieved that her parent w the button nose is the money-hungry one working for the evil government #while her parent w the hooked nose wants no part of any of that and joins the protagonists and puts doing the right thing over money #instead of the other way around #also i think there's been similar said about the fact that she's white #amd how it's a mix of wishing she wasn't white bc it would be do nice to get more representation through the protag's love interest #but also the fact that if the wroters weren't careful they could've played into stereotypes w her and/or her family #abt being aggressive or obsessed w academics or overly strict or greedy etc #(tho it'd prolly be doable esp w her redemption and how if they had made her latina or black or east asian it would be offset #by the fact that this show has main characters of those ethnicities who DON'T adhere to any of those stereotypes)#and how the blight family represents unfair privilege so giving them white privilege (even if it doesn't exist in-universe) makes sense #tho i myself am white so i don't think i quite have anything to add to THAT particular discussion #but yea #eliot posts #toh #the owl house #amity blight #anyway i at least FULLY love when she's given her dad's nose in FANON
