Dont worry fam, I know what you mean. From POC to Queer to Neurodivergency, this show reqlly treies to make the underdogs in society seen. Maybe thats why it did fit into Disney's brand.....

Also, lets not forget about Eda here to, she was a witch who was told to apply herself, when shown she had strong ability was told she would be a powerful witch one day (probably in the emperor's coven), and then found happiness doing the thing looked down on by society (selling trash at the night market).

THE OWL HOUSE - LUZ'S NEURODIVERGENCE

I know when people talk about representation in the Owl House, they mean the big stuff, the queerness. And yeah, Thanks to Them has a lot of that, and it was great, but there's one moment in the episode that particularly stuck with me.

THIS SCENE

THE NEURODIVERGENT REPRESENTATION

This is something I've seen people on tumblr talk about a lot. About how the school system isn't designed for everyone's brain, and it shouldn't be a measure of who is the cleverest, or who puts in the most effort, or who is the most worthy.

Luz is clever. Just not at the kind of subjects they teach. And even when she is, it comes and goes, or she can't focus and applies herself too little, or too much and just generally can't operate on the level they require from her 100 percent of the time.

The fact that they finally outright say it, the reasons she's been struggling in her own world, and point out her difference in such an obvious way makes me so happy.

Because think about it. Think about it the way you think about Amity and Luz asking each other out onscreen, or Raine's pronouns. There are children out there right now too young to voice themselves on the Internet, who sit around and watch this show.

Children who might be struggling in school, and see themselves in Luz. Children whose struggles and stories are finally being voiced, and who are being shown that it's okay to feel this way. You're just like this character here. You were built to excell somewhere else and it's okay that you are.

It's satisfying and sad. Real life children won't get to escape to the Boiling Isles, but they might see this scene, and push aside the narrative that they are a failure. That they'll never be more than the problem child.

All because of this wonderful show which voices, inspires, and represents people who have been waiting for it their whole lives.

Please don't think I'm trying to discredit the LGBTQ+ or poc or any other kind of rep in the show, I love it all, I just really wanted to talk about this side of it.

I just gotta write this out cuz I'm feelin overwhelmed and horrible. I've just been feeling really lost in my adult life yo. Idk what I wanna do anymore and life is reqlly getting me down. I've never felt more depressed in life, I literally feel so stuck and so unmotivated, so full of self doubt, and so ashamed of myself. My anixety and depression have taken a huge toll on me and I've been off prescription drugs for like a year and it's only got worse. The drugs made me sick and unable to experience orgasms, so I stopped even though they helped my mental health EXPONENTIALLY. My relationship with my gf was struggling because of the stupid pills, but they made me feel okay for the first time in my entire life. I'm not sure what to do anymore because I am FAILING. I can apply to jobs, get interviews. Every single job I've applied to has called back for an interview. I got two jobs, and the other three said no. The two jobs I achieved were the lowest paying jobs ever. I might as well not even have gone to school and on top of that they're part time. I can't take being in the world right now. Just got turned down for another job I had all of the credentials for. I've been haunted by my bullies getting great jobs, having wonderful lives filled with vacations, tons of money, perfect shit and being able to start their lives while I'm still stuck here unable to find a fucking full time job in my field. This shit is unbearable and I am a failure even though I thought I did things right. I got the grades, went to schoop, got the internship, graduated, and here I am left with almost nothing to show for it. I hate myself so much.
