The Owl House Is A Bit of A Mixed Bag When It Comes To Ships

The Owl House is a show that I love a lot, but when it comes to relationships I have some mixed feelings. Now, I don't hate ships in TOH but I do have some issues with them.

The Good

First let's start of with the good; one of the things I like about how TOH handles its ships is how they don't overtake the plot or anything, which is a pretty easy trap that any show with romance can fall into (looking at you Star vs). There's also no bullshit romance drama in the show (the closest thing we get to that is Luz not opening up in S2 EP11 and EP14 but that was about it and its also executed in a way that's not absolutely insufferable).

Lumity is also the show's best relationship; it's gradually built up over the course of season 1 and the first half of season 2 and they are legitimately pretty cute together. Ships like Veesha and Aladraius are also pretty neat. So now let's get into...

The Problems

NOTE: Any issues I have with TOH's ships are most likely due to the shortening, so take my critiques with a grain of salt. Also there will be some criticism levidied towards Huntlow and Reada, if you don't like that don't read the rest of this post.

I think my issues with TOH's ships have to come with the ship's themselves, mainly Raeda and Huntlow. Lumity is good as I already said but the other two have a few issues. First I'ma talk about Huntlow; I don't hate Huntlow as a ship, It's OK, I just think it could have been done a bit better.

The ship mainly suffers from being less developed than Lumity, as Willow and Hunter don't really have that much-developed chemistry with each other. There is one interesting thing about the ship though, that being how they are both young witchlings that were shunned for not being born strong and called a "half-a-witch". That is an interesting parallel, but I don't really think the show develops they're relationship beyond that. The ship is just kinda underdeveloped which is my main problem with it, they're relationship just isn't that fleshed out to me, and as a result, it feels a little bit rushed.

I WILL say though, the moment they had in FTF is cute, it's neat harmless little fan service that doesn't take away from the plot or characters, which is nice.

But overall Huntlow isn't terrible but I have my fair share of issues with it. I honestly feel like this ship has more developed chemistry in fan works than in canon. Like, seriously, Willow and Hunter are incredibly cute together in a lot of Huntlow fan works more than in the actual show.

Anyways, now let's get into...Raeda. I've already talked about this ship before and why I personally don't care for it so I won't go too in depth here, but Raeda to me just suffers from how Raine, as a character, is heavily defined by Eda, and they don't have much depth outside of that. If Raine as a character had more independence from Eda I would have liked this ship a lot more, but they don't.

Again, my issues of Huntlow and Raeda are purely there because of the shortening. If the show wasn't shortened than Huntlow would've definitely been more developed, and Raine would have been a better character with more actual development beyond "Eda's ex".

Conclusion

So ya, that's my thoughts on TOH ships. The shipping in the show isn't bad but I think it could've been better, though again, it's worth mentioning the show got shortened so these problems aren't necessarily its fault, buuuuuut my points still stand. So....bye.

This is a lot siller than my other questions, but which ships, if any, are you doing for this AU? I kinda wanna know if I get to see some Lumity and Huntlow in this AU. Also, Amity’s reaction to Luz-Hunter-Mari-Flapjack seems like it’ll be interesting. I refuse to believe that girl was brought up without ANY daemon prejudices. (and I started listening to No Hell because of you. I can’t stop, help.)

this is so funny bc i um. dont have a lot to say on this dfkjgdfg ive never been the sort of person to super focus on ships.

the main two that show up are luz/amity and raine/eda! for lumity i had a lot of fun with it bc it develops a bit differently...some of the big milestones (getting together, first kiss) happen at different points in my au! and of course with mari and alma there we get to see some different dynamics....my favorite is the amity/mari dynamic i had a BLAST with that. in the human realm, after all, daemons arent all that involved in dating, arent they? but in the demon realm....

and then raine/eda is just SO fun bc. i mean the owl beast is there now too. and considers eda her life partner. (not necessarily in a romantic sense. firefly is a big owl and doesnt conceptualize romance the same way witches and humans do) and has Very Mixed Feelings On Raine, bc back when she and eda were like young adults eda was dating raine and firefly did not get a say in this! so them sort of coming back together is VERY fun. I JUST THINK THE BIG OWL GETS A SAY IN THE RELATIONSHIP OKAY. somehow eda is the most worried about this.

huntlow is um. gkjdfg as canon as it is in the show which is to say im never going to focus on it but you can for sure read them that way. i have nothing against huntlow but again im just not a huge shippy-type person when i write, and while im invested in the lumity and raeda dynamics and how my au changes them, i just. cannot say the same for huntlow lol.

funnily enough! the boiling isles doesnt have the exact same prejudices the human realm has! they instead have the coven system which is uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lets just say. a time!

(YES. JOIN ME. ITS SUCH A GOOD SONGGGGGGG!)
