#it's especially egregious with people writing her 'beta' version as bloodthirsty and stupid

[goodwitchazurafan666]

I see a lot of owl house fanfics and posts on various social media platforms that write Luz as though she's an idiot- usually in comparison to a smart, calculated Amity- and, like, did we watch the same show? Even without getting into the mischaracterization of Amity, Luz is like, canonically really smart, right?

I mean, she's taking EVERY TRACK, and not falling behind, she discovers the glyphs with only minimal help from the titan on the ice one, and she canonically gets a writing scholarship.

Not to mention that her main advantage in combat is her ability to think on her feet and come up with clever ways to win (think Luz vs Belos at the end of King's Tide), rather than raw power.

Like, I get that the principle said 'inconsistent grades' but that's probably more related to constant bullying and implied ADHD than to her intelligence.

Like, Luz is a canon genius. We really need to stop assuming that more happy-go-lucky characters are inherently dumb.
