okay but can i just ramble on about how much i love camila
like she's trying so hard to be there for luz however she can, even if she doesn't understand the full situation
and as well as just. taking in four extra kids no questions asked, she's really good at validating them and appreciating their efforts even though they don't understand how things work yet (especially important with amity)
and she manages that scene of hunter kneeling at her SO WELL, like she doesn't make a scene, or make him feel embarrassed, she just kindly tells him he doesn't have to do that with her. which is super important coming from a parental/authority figure
and her being so supportive of luz being queer (and amity by extension) is so nice to see on screen. (side note: they did NOT have to go as extra as they did with the bi flags and rainbow, but they did, and i'm so happy that it's so undeniably explicit and in your face)
she also just generally handles everything they tell her really well? granted, she'd have some experience from vee, but she genuinely hears out what the kids have to say and takes them seriously, WHILE ALSO stressing the importance of taking care of themselves and resting
also the fact that it looks like she's taking the time to shop with the kids for halloween outfits? or more clothes, at least. which are things they don't strictly NEED, but rather things that make them happy, and she makes the time for that
she's so instantly supportive of vee's new look as well and that is something just. so important to me. (also the pride pin is adorable)
i also just love the wall of luz photos, and her and luz's awkwardly polite reactions to the erm. "cake"
camila is just such a greatly written parent generally. it's not like she gets everything right, or does things perfectly, but above all else she tries her damn best to be supportive of her kids, and is just generally kind. if anything, her flaws add to her depth. because there is no "perfect parent", but there sure as hell is a parent that loves very much, and tries their best. and camila is that parent.

currently possessed with thoughts of Camila coming for a visit with an old photo album from before Luz disappeared, but it happens on a day where Luz is hanging out with Eda so it ends up just being Camila showing Hunter Luz's baby pictures and being so so so so so fond about how much Hunter loves her. Camila shares stories of silly little things that Luz did when Camila was her mom and Hunter just smiles because "she's always been that way"
AW. OH NO THAT'S SO CUTE.... hunter matching camila's old stories with stories of his own from when he and luz were growing up and not even Realizing how much it means to camila.... just to have this little glimpse of who luz was as a child and the pieces of her childhood that were Not defined by Endless Horrors (TM)....
