Willow Month Day 2 - Favourite Relationship: Jade Claymore and Kit Tanthalos

The way that the scene in episode 5 is identical to their body language and positioning in the episode 7 kiss, just unrestrained and unafraid is beautiful.

Lets dive in- Picture 1 Jade, arms down, stance that screams I'm trying to stand normal, the little hand/finger clenches and angling of her body showing how on edge she is. This is a girl who looks ready to run.

Kit, shoulders up to her ears, hands twisting together, anxious mess scooped up and poured into human form. She's tense and uncontrolled.

Picture 2 Jade, splayed out on her back hands up by her head- they end up tangled around Kit's waist, her face is open and relaxed. She went from angled to run to literally under Kit, egging her on. Jade isn't holding herself back or guarding herself from Kit.

Kit, forearms on Jade's chest, hands playing with her shirt. Her body is tensed but relaxed and notably, controlled. She's curled into Jade, pressing them closer and happily responding to Jade's cues after checking.

This is why I actually loved the decision not to have them kiss on screen until episode 7, the build up is awesome and it offers these cool bits of growth that they've achieved.



Also this bit at the end, before we transition to another scene Kit and Jade are given the space to be soft and loved.

Willow month: Favorite character

i want it to be known that originally this was just going to be yet another kit tanthalos hair appreciation post so just know this was entirely spurred by me thinking about it all day today.

anyway, hopefully i’m not too late in sharing my rambles for day 1, but i’ve loved seeing everyone else’s favorite characters so i am excited to share mine which is gasp our favorite princess kit tanthalos!

watching kit’s journey in recognizing that she is brave and worthy of love was powerful enough in and of itself, but what really gets me is that kit embarked on this journey all while being unabashedly queer. seeing kit’s queerness never being a major point of contention like it is for other protagonists did so much for my brain in recognizing that my queerness is multifaceted.

i’ve never connected to a character in the way i have connected with kit and i am forever in awe of her.

time to think at the kit tanthalos haircut again

happy end of day 1!

Willow month: favourite scene

Ok because I don’t know how I am possibly supposed to choose a favourite scene in this show full to bursting with gorgeous moments, I’m gonna cheat on this one and do my top five favourite scenes:

1. Kit and Jade’s conversation here on the Shattered Sea. The the bond that has been there the whole time, but grown stronger across the quest; the growth and the trust

3. The “yesss the girls are finally getting on and Kit’s being a little shit in a fond way this time” which was the whole episode but this one had me grinning like a mad thing

4. Elora and Graydon’s little moments during the training montage. I loved all the scenes when Graydon starts training with Elora. Cuteness overload they are just too sweet

5. The Wildwood love confession scene. Do I really need to elaborate on this one?

5. Again: no elaboration needed. The gif speaks for itself

There are about a billion honourable mentions I could do because like I said, so many good scenes and so much good stuff I could write about all of them, but I started and the post got even more insanely long than it already is and I’m already cheating by doing five so

Day 8: Foreshadowing

Blood of the Six: I feel like this was going to come back into play in Volumes 2 & 3. Do one or both Tanthalos twins succumb to the darkness within? What part does this play in their destiny?

Also: if you think you've seen these bots before, no you haven't (what can I say, bots are SCARCE these days! -still accepting bot donations)

willow month: day 1 - favorite character

I'm a bit late but I've been wanting to edit Kit to naive by the kooks even though the song kinda fits Elora aswell, but Kit is my all time fave

this is what i’m going to show people when asked why i love kit sm because apparently ‘she’s just so’ followed by unintelligible noises doesn’t get my point across as effectively

Willow Month 2023: Day 1- Favorite Character

I feel like it's unsurprising for me to say Kit Tanthalos is my favorite character (she has been my pfp basically since the show started) but I'd like to talk about why. Growing up, I knew about Willow the movie but had never seen it for whatever reason. It wasn't until one random day scrolling on IG that I stumbled on an ad for the show, specifically the clip of meeting Willow for the first time.

Seeing Kit stopped me dead in my tracks. I was so immediately fascinated by her. The costume, the attitude, the hair, her... everything. I was as sold as possible and that only grew stronger once I actually watched the show. Scene one, episode one.

This is the exchange that set the obsession in motion. Here was this girl in a fantasy setting who was cocky and charismatic, something I had been dying for essentially my whole life. It didn't hurt that she looked and acted like every DnD character or fantasy RPG video game character I have ever created. She was a dream come true already, and we were less than 5 minutes into the first episode.

And then, that magical moment happened. As Kit snuck into Jade's room to give her a goodbye kiss, I lost my mind. Something I've typically had to wait entire series to see, if that, and I would have to speculate the whole time, but this put it in the first episode. Kit and Jade were in love, no speculation, no bait, that's what the show was going to have at its core.

For Kit to have a more masculine appearance, to be canonically gay, it was life changing. And I consistently think "How is she such an incredible hunk?" A question I don't get to think about essentially any women in Hollywood. Like, look at her.

Pictured: A bonafide, genuine hunk

But it didn't stop there, because her storyline was incredible too. Starting at that place of arrogance meant she had to be knocked down a peg or two, and that's exactly what happened. I've often said the alternate title for Willow could be "The Humbling of Kit Tanthalos", because she is brought down down down, past rock bottom, and then she has to rebuild herself to become the defender Elora needs and the partner Jade deserves. I truly think Kit has one of the most incredible, heartbreaking, beautiful stories I've ever seen.

But this has gone on long enough (yet I could go on even longer). When I say Kit is my favorite character, I don't just mean from Willow. I mean she is on my Mount Rushmore of all time favorites from anything.

[ID: a sketch page of various drawings of Willow Park from the owl house. From left to right the drawings are: timeskip willow playing flyer derby, Willow in her season 1 casual outfit next to her in her season 3 Halloween costume, Willow as Anne in an amphibia au, young willow doing pottery with her dad Gilbert, young willow and amity holding hands/hugging and smiling, and willow looking at clover, who's perched on her finger and wearing a dress and wig made of yarn so as to resemble Willow. Willow is trying to hold back laughter while clover looks unamused. In the center is a drawing of Willow drawing a large spell circle with her staff, and the title of the sketch page reads "willow week 2023", with each drawing labeled as a specific day/prompt, such as day 3: flyer derby/fav on-screen outfit, day 1: crossover, day 2: childhood/father-daughter, or day 1: palismen bonding. Drawings 2, 6, and 7 are coloured while the rest are uncoloured. The background is a scribbly green. End ID]

Willow Month 2023 Day 1: Favourite Character

JADE CLAYMORE

Damn it is so hard to choose in a show with so many amazing core characters but... Jade.

Jade's journey is about recognizing and allowing herself to be facets of who she is she didn't have an opportunity to really get to know; her heritage and her queerness/relationship with Kit.

Every time I see her I feel a lot better about the world. Also Jade pushed me become my childhood dream (a pirate 🏴‍☠️ 😜).

As someone who probably has a more Kit-like tendency to completely run from everything that I find difficult or scary, I love and respect Jade's groundedness and her willingness to just take what is. From going to Galladorne to train as a knight to telling Kit she doesn't care about who their fathers were to jumping off the edge of the world, Jade is loyal, secure, and dedicated. I know a lot of fandom focus goes into her dedication to Kit, which is definitely important to her, but what I think is so cool is that she isn't just making decisions out of dedication to one person.

I also just want to celebrate how Erin Kellyman set out to play a character that really represented her experiences, and Jade means so much to so many people. Representation matters.

Jade is the kind of character that brought me along on the emotional journey with her. Erin Kellyman did an amazing job with her role, I’m really grateful for the year (approx.) of work she and the entire cast and crew put in to make Willow possible and hopefully there will be more Jade Claymore in the future✌🏻
