The Perfect Imperfection of Luz and Amity in Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door 

It’s great that the love interest isn’t just the “reward” that the main character gets after saving the day. Love just happens, and this series greatly reflects that.

Amity: "Yeah, this was stupid. I mean, us? Dating? That's stupid, right?" Katara: "Us kissing! What was I thinking! Can you imagine that?"

I'm still stuck on how Eda telling Luz to just go for it regardless of the wild circumstances is directly intrinsic to her line from the second episode: "If we all waited around for a prophecy to make us special, we'd die waiting." Eda has learned so much about living and making the most of any situation that she doesn't ever hesitate to pass that kind of thing onto Luz, and that's just super special to me. If you want something, then go out and get it.

The scene where they asked each other out felt so real it had that awkward teen romance feeling to it I find that adorable.

I love Amity's smile when she said yes to Luz asking her out

*[The scene felt so natural and realistic, it's crazy]*

The way that this show has handled lumity’s relationship has been incredible, showcasing the realistic and awkward parts of starting a relationship, I’m happy that this show is not only giving us an lgbt relationship but doing it in such a way that many kids and even adults can relate to, it being so imperfect is what makes it so perfect.

Two people becoming a couple in the middle of a show? That's illegal! But seriously, the way the show handled this is amazing.

To quote Hooty: “They’re adorable and deserve all the happiness!”

I think the show shows that not every LGBTQ character needs their sexuality to be their soul personality because people always say "You make being gay/bi/trans your whole personality" and it shows that we can have gay/bi/trans characters are more than their sexualities

One interaction I really want to see is Amity telling Luz that she wanted to ask her out at Grom. There are a few ways it could go, but at this point I would be surprised if it wasn’t brought up later on. I’d love to see that.

This was definitely the most surprising episode of the series for me. So much that I didn’t expect to happen happened such as Lumity becoming canon. Definitely my new favorite episode of the season so far and the most surprising one at that!! 💙💖

Disney: alright, we cut the third season down as much as we could, she couldn’t possibly develop the characters and relationships properly now! Dana: Hey Mickey, wanna see me speedrun?

Ok lumity is perfect Luz is basically the positive influence on amity because she's basically show her something new and gives her a new taste of life And amity gives Luz strength for her magic and I guess she knows how it feels lonely in a world where no won understands They're meant to be together

I'm happy that the future generations would get to grow up with a show like this. 💖

I'm just a straight ally, but I'm a huge sucker for cute romance no matter the attraction of genders. Seeing Luz and Amity become canon in the mid of S2 is really nice because then we get to see their dynamic as a couple. Though I'm happy for the LGBTQ+ community for getting the representation they deserve!

Rather than contrive reasons to keep them apart (i.e. hearing/seeing something out of context), I love how The Owl House is letting Lumity happen within the series and not saving it till the very end. Seeing them realize they have feelings for each other and struggle to act on them is sweet and relatable. And we're not even halfway through the season!

As much as I don’t want any harm to come to Luz, I can’t wait for her to catch the Common Mold so Amity can help her feel better with some soup

I like Rebecca's take on the show and Lumitys scenes in general. Her takeaways are perfect. As a parent of a represented kid I love how The Owl House shows that it's perfectly normal to crush on someone of your own sex. As a parent I do not care who my kid likes as long as my kid is a good person and that's all a parent should expect and not be rude about their sexuality. I'm glad Disney is allowing this and when amity kissed Luz my kid about fell out of her seat so I know it had an impact.

I love the fact that Luz and Amity have no idea what to do after they finally get together...

I just love the fact that Danna said that she didn't want to write romance, but it was necessary for character development. Because for that Amity is not just a love interest and things don't feel forced in this relationship and it's amazing 💗

When Amity said "YES!" It was her biggest and happiest smile in the series so far. I loved it 🤩❤♥💕💖💗🥰

Because of Luz, Amity has found the courage to take control of her own life Because of Amity, Luz has learned not to go overboard with everything These two really help each other grow and I love it

I love how their relationship feels so natural and realistic, I think that everyone at some point of his life felt like Luz when we talk about "having a crush" with someone so is very easy to relate with her Btw I love the reaction of Eda when Luz tells her about her crush with Amity, she didn't care about that both are girls only ask if she wants to date with Amity I'm straight but I hope that at some point that happens in the real life and the only thing that matters is the love that exists for each other

I like how they illustrated that no matter how magical, extravagant or "special" you think something like asking out your crush should be, that sort of thing rarely ever goes so smoothly, but that's okay because all that really matters is being genuine and confident enough to do it in the first place.

I just love the adorable awkwardness between these two. It's both natural and realistic. It's these kinds of interactions that just warms my heart. Just imagine how the first kiss may go and by that I mean on the lips.

My mom's actual words during the last 7 minutes of "Knock Knock Knocking on Hooty's Door": "Girl, she kissed on you on the cheek the last time you saw each other. What more evidence do you need? Whatcha waitin' on?"

finally we wont have to resort to fanfics in order to see their relationship play out.

I didn't even realize it until I heard what Dana said. The lack of social criticism and instead portraying the ideal ads a lot to how refreshing the show feels.

My 7 year old brother yelled out an excited "WHAT" when luz and amity held hands and he really likes the grom episode :)

the "thumb rub" is definitely my favorite most underrated show of affection, it is so subtle yet it works to show how much someone cares for someone else and i love that the show did that with luz and amity

They're are just so adorable, totally made for each other. Buttt I still get anxious that they will be seperated in some way

Personally, I think this is why TOH is so special in comparison to so many other shows that try to be "the first LGBT+ inclusive show in Disney!" They focus so much on the recognition that they forget to treat their characters like, well, characters. So the big representation they patronage ends as a background cameo (which could easily could be edited out for international release) and in turn seem disingenuous for those watching. Not it this show. Yes, there is a lot of representation, but that is not the core of the story, nor is the representation relayed to the background. It's acknowledged and accepted as another part of life, as it should be. Shows that try to be "the first one" to bring representation not only does a disservice to all the other shows that, while small, they did their part in getting to this point. TOH in the other hand, doesn't try to be a bastion of representation. It just represents, and that's good. Personally, I don't think pride to be a bad thing, so Danna Terrance can be proud on having make such a good showcase about how to do good representation in a good show (as in making a good show which happens to have representation, not the other way around). Meanwhile, there will still be those showrunners who arrogantly try to be the paragon of representation in order to stroke their ego, and that will promptly be forgotten in less than a year (I am looking at you Kevin Smith).

My head canon is that Amity get sweaty, specially her hands, when she is anxious, so grabbing her clothes thight is to ground her self and clean her hands. (That's just what I do, so I love seeing Amity do that)

To quote Disney: “Luzity”

I wasn’t anti hooty before this episode but now I love him so much cause he really does just care and he got them together he’s amazing I love him

Man, it is just crazy HOW EARLY we got these two officially together. Most animated couples (Robstar, Kataang, Korrasami, Starco, Catradora) wait until the end of the series before getting together, despite seasons of build-up. But we've still got more than half of season 2 and all of season 3 with these two already together. This ship is in uncharted waters now, people . . .

That leitmotif has been my favorite piece of music in the show for a while and I'm so, so happy it's connected to such a great arc of character development and growth!!

Good news: We have around 15 episodes to enjoy canon lumity Bad news: THERE'S ONLY 15 EPISODES OF THE OWL HOUSE LEFT AHHHH

Things are escalating quickly, I think we are used to have to wait and see how things are going and hope that they gonna develop a relationship or at least try to, like what happened to Adventure Time and The Legend of Korra (read the comics), etc. I like how things are going, Dana and Alex literally Said f*ck it to censorship hahaha and I love it! Tho, shame on you Disney to cut the third season! #SaveTheOwlHouse and sorry my rusty English!

I can’t believe how real this relationship feels, it’s incredible 😭😍

This episode managed to penetrate right through the permafrost of my icy heart like a hot knife and I couldn't be happier

Luz, Amity, I love you and I'm happy for both of you. But damn, you two need to get better at communicating with each other. Jokes aside, I do appreciate how we now get to see them grow and change as a couple.

This episode was great, I honestly did t expect Lumity to become canon so soon but I’m glad it did! And even Disney is finally acknowledging Lumity as they actually posted a video with the title Lumity on it!😊 thank you Dana for making this possible!

As a 14 year old, the asking out scene was the most 14 year old thing ive ever seen

This ship is so good because it feels so genuine. The gay representation is awesome too and important, but I feel everybody can relate to it or find it adorable. You just know Dana and the crew love this ship just as much as the viewers or even more :)

This relationship is, in my opinion, a prime example of well execution. Beautifully built since the beginning with good character development of their inner struggles and the courage it takes to bring your inner walls down, be genuine, make yourself vulnerable and dealing with the fears that comes from that. This show took its time and respected all those steps, while at the same time, depicting a realistic awkwardness without being chessy or feeling forced. The end result is cute and wonderful (specially the visual details). This is a how relationships should be depicted, it takes time and struggle and vulnerability, but above all, it's all about love and respect. That, I think, is the best message the LGBTQIA+ community could send, that everyone has value and has the right to love and being loved, to respect and being respected by others, just like any other person. Kudos for the show for depicting it like this, it's good and fresh message.

As a person whos in an actual relationship with my girlfriend, thats exactly how we ended up being together LMAO it was so awkward and we had to think for a moment other than immediately say "YES", love the representation its so wholesome wtf

I kind of thought lumity would be like catradora, as in it wasn’t till the last episode it became canon. I definitely did not expect this to happen! I didn’t even expect this to be a lumity episode!

I freaking love how completely chill Eda was about the fact that Luz wanted to ask Amity out, no,, "are you sure?" no "you're gay?" no nothing, just "are you sure you feel ready and comfortable?" and "go for it!" nothing else, TOH wins.

My expectations for the episode: "haha funny bird tube hijinks, a funny filler before we get some serious reveals in Eclipse Lake" The episode: I have a new plot-twist EVERY TEN SECONDS

I am sure a majority of the common things have pointed out, but the thought occurred to me that Luz and Amity reversed each other's personalities asking each other out. Amity with her blurting out and extra-happy response Yes, and Luz with trying to take the time to ask it in a more serious manner. Just shows how much each has had an affect on one another.

The little hand hold over the bi flag is just 💗💗💜💙💙. Also not sure if this is a coincidence or not but the colors in the sky and sea in Eda's dream are the pan flag.

The writing sold it. Good writing IS the lightning in the bottle. This was setup way early, had time to cook, and paid off when the fans least expected it, catching everyone off guard and giving us all what we wanted and hoped for. It's perfect. Good writing made this possible.

This is why I don't want the show to end, this show means a lot to me. It's the only thing thats making me stay alive and be happy. The story and the plots of this show makes me so happy and excited. It also represents that you don't need to fit in, u just gotta be ur own self with the right people which is why I love this show so much.

I love when Amity sais "House demons start going crazy after a few centuries"

i wish i could've watched this show when i was a kid. i said this multiple times for different reasons (pretty much every episode in season two has been teaching me something anyway, and I'm 19) but the representation is so important. i realized i liked girls back when i was 14 and when it first hit me i sat on my bed crying my eyes out, asking myself why and what was wrong with me. I've learnt a lot and "accepted my situation" pretty quickly actually, thanks to my amazing and open minded friends, but if i had watched toh as a kid this probably wouldn't have happened; i would've thought "oh, I'm just like luz!". I'm grateful kids nowadays are able to watch these kind of cartoons and I'm re-watching gf and toh with my younger cousin, so if he ever finds himself in the same situation as me, he won't have to worry

Lumity took itself to a whole new level with this episode, and I couldn't be happier to see the two now officially a couple.

I think the leitmotif also played during the "We can fix this together" scene from "Understanding Willow".

OMG I loved when Rebecca said “the luz amity fell for” just is so sweet 🥺🥺🥺🥺💖💖✨✨

Just want to note that, the show does actually subtly show the struggles of LGBT youth. By having lines like "I'm gonna be made fun of again," "Us dating? That's stupid right?", etc. In universe, these obviously mean other things, but hearing things lines like this can definitely remind us of the feelings we've had about other people viewing our different types of attraction or identification. It's subtle, but I think it does a good job of making it feel like it relates to LGBT topics, without being super explicit about it. (*Ahem* CW's Batwoman, I'm looking at you.)

This episode was so amazing and I loved this!!

Honestly you don’t know how happy I am that the episode ended with them together and not some weird tension or awkwardness that’s lasts like 5 episodes lol. After the episode ended had a smile on my face for like 20 minutes

I was not expecting all of this from a hooty episode.

Very well-put assessment of the beauty that was this scene! I just love how this show has continued to push forward LGBTQ representation in children's media like those before it (Korra, Adventure Time, SU, She-Ra, etc.) and I'm looking forward to how the show tackles their love going forward, especially next episode!

2:00: That's a really subtle leitmotif there. Hard to notice, but when you do, you can't help but want to hear it. Agreed. The Tunnel of Love was a nightmare... albeit a nightmare that was soon followed by one of the sweetest daydreams we and the characters have ever encountered. Also, can we all agree that the couple's body language all across the ep are just oh so relatable and nice to see? Just look at Amity's hand stretch and thumb rubbing as a means of lessening embarassment (there's also her usual grabbing of her dress' hem), all the way to Luz rubbing her thumb on Amity's hand and squeezing her arm around [Luz's] own stomach during the hand-holding scene! No intertwined fingers scene yet though... probably a lead up to something entirely new to them, if possible. Anyways, can't wait for Eclipse Lake to come out, and again, people, expect the ninth doozy in a row for this season, so as usual, brace yourselves. (Gus, Willow, and maybe even Lilith better keep an eye out for sick Luz though. Having Hooty as her only guardian is NOT a good idea at all.)

I am a hetero male. Just putting it out there. Now to the main part. I think I've commented on some other videos about what I'm going to say. Growing up as a hetero male in a very hetero media it's refreshing and great to see two gay individuals exploring their relationship with one another. In the media I grew up with I see gay couples boiled down to what Rebecca has said, "a coming out, coming to terms with sexuality or facing oppression." Other time I see a gay character all I saw from that media was how to sexualized it and then done. Nothing needed to give more depth to the gay characters. Yes its good to show the struggle of the individual for being gay but to finally see it normalize to the point that the struggle isn't being gay. The struggle is to ask someone out without being gay being the big hurdle. I have never seen gay couple in a kids cartoon go further than "yep we're dating" end of series. Like in OK K.O let's be Hero. We get to see Enid dating and or married to Red Action AT the end of the series. Princess Bubblegum and Marceline finally get together AT the end of the series. Or finally Jackie dating a girl in Start VS the Force of Evil. Or Kipo and the Ages of Wonderbeast, though we do get a little more than I thought with Benson and Troy season two and three. You don't get to see the growth of the couples on screen. What I've seen with Amity and Luz and how the pacing is going. I do hope that we will see more of that progression in both relationship and struggles. After all we're only in Season 2 of episode 8 and we have another season after this albeit a short one.....sorry for the short essay -_-!!!!

isnt it just weird how the fandom collectively decided that fake luz's name is "creepy luz" and the ship between luz and amity is lumity.

I knew you were gonna do a video about this. Can't really blame you though, these two cute little gay witches and their beautiful relationship really deserve to be talked about.

I absolutely love the part where Amity blurts it out, and then Luz asks, because that is quite literally what happened with me and my gf over three years ago :D

okay but can we just appreciate the fact that Amity blushes more than Luz, not because she likes luz moer than luz likes her, but because her skin is less pigmented which makes it easier to blush? as a poc I just love that little detail

The progression between Luz and Amity, and the characters around them are amazing and so delicately handled. I’m so proud of Dana and the crew!

Brilliant LGBT+ representation aside, can we just appreciate the most realistic representation of a developing romantic relationship in any kind of media so far. Most relationships I've seen, even on the best movies or shows, fall into one of 2 categories: the people involved are basically predestined to end up together due to circumstances, selective introduction or forced writing, with the usual useless will-they-won't-they arcs that nobody falls for (ex: AtlA with Aang and Katara, B99 with Jake and Amy, any MCU movie that has the tiniest trace of a romantic subplot) or one of the characters goes to increasingly ludicrous shenanigans to eventually win over/ wear down their love interest (ex: TBBT with Leonard and Penny, Literally any Disney Channel show from the 2000's). None of that happens to people in real life who have feelings for each other. You know what does happen? Awkward silences, vague gestures, questioning EVERYTHING you say or do, before, after and while you're doing or saying it. For all of that alone, The Owl House owns a place in the media hall of fame and my heart for ever !!!

The scene was truly amazing! :3

Im still smirking after Lumity became canon like how Catradora became canon 🥺💖💕

This really was an important and well done moment. Not only did it give such amazing and normalize representation for queer couples, but it shows an important lesson for anyone about love. We all want grand, perfect things. But it's not perfect. Love is imperfect, messy, cheesy, corny, mushy, and so much more. Once we accept that, the honesty comes out so much better as we learn more about one another and grow closer in love. Heck, when I first asked out the love of my life, she was in utter despair because of how her abusive family treated her and felt no one loved her. And that's when I blurted out my confession and fully realized it. It came during a hard moment, and took time for it to set in, but it led to us being so happy and getting to a better place. And now we're seven years+ strong. ^_^

It's so freaking perfect and cute we need more series like owl house.

This episode shocked me cause with the synopsis of the episode I just thought this was a big shock and I thought this episode was AMAZING

Really loving how this show treats LGBTQ+ representation! I may identify as straight, but I still feel like I can appreciate Dana and the crew's writing and efforts. When you talked about LGBTQ+ relationships being treated like more, let's say, "conventional" relationships, I immediately got flashbacks to Star Wars. Let me explain: I've been a Star Wars fan since I was little and as far back as 2014, the franchise has made more of an effort to represent the LGBTQ+ community with more diverse characters. For instance, there is an alien artist who made anti-Imperial propaganda and lives with his husband. There's also an Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider character named Aphra who is lesbian and she has her own Marvel comic series. There was also an Imperial governor who's wife was killed in a Rebel attack, hence why she hates them, and a TIE pilot who just wants the war with the New Republic to end so he can retire with his husband, which I think is sweet. One of the characters in the Sequels, Snap Wexley, also has two mothers and they're both badasses. Then, of course, there's the kiss in The Rise of Skywalker. There's more, but this is already probably too long lol. What I'm getting at is that it's all treated so normally and there's not really any homophobia. Yes, the Empire encourages opposite-sex relationships in order to breed more soldiers (creepy) but even they don't ban people from expressing themselves in that way. And I think that the franchise is all the better because of it. If anyone actually read all this then thanks!

10:45 I saw someone say that Amity grabs her dress as a way to stop herself from stimming (although her being autistic is a headcanon) and I fully agree, because I do the exact same lmao

Lumity canon First holding hands Then dating Soon the kiss

During the dream sequence with Eda she's looking out on a cliff side in her owl beast form, and it looks like there is a completely new titan skeleton in the boiling sea that we've never seen. AND NOBODY IS THEORIZEING OR TALKING ABOUT IT AT ALL!!!

Loved this episode thank you owl house

the way luzs eyes glow after the kiss is adorable

Eda's line about things not having to be perfect is my favourite.

This episode was amazing, not just because Luz and Amity are finally together. Like: We get a better look into Hooty and his character, how much he cares about them all and how much he wanted to help King discovered a power, and is learning more about himself and what he is, he's getting a lot of development this season. Eda has sort of come to terms with her past and mainly her curse, which technically ' unlocks ' her harpy form, which would probably help her become the strong witch she use to be, there's also potential for Eda helping Lilith with her new curse too. This episode was perfect in more ways than one

Every episode of season 2 has been awesome so far...my favourites are definitely this one and Eda's requiem

It's funny how they did the same thing as legends of korra but did it 15× better

Love this ep

I am literally crying right now! I’m not even a person that really gets emotional but this makes me so happy I honestly never thought I would see this and as someone that’s also bi this makes me so happy!!😊

I absolutely love the thumb rub. It’s so small, but it’s such a cute gesture.

This episode has revealed to be beyond of what I have imagined or expected! I love it very much, and it's my favorite episode of this great season for now! For sure, this is the craziest, funniest, cutest, prettiest and gayest episode so far of Season 2!! Long live, Lumity!! We wish you both happiness, Luz and Amity!! Lumity is cannon!! :D

Normalizing LGBT characters is so much better than showing homophobia (as helpful that may be in making a difference) because it shows younger children it's NORMAL and OK. I was never a homophobic kid because I was never hidden away from gay TV shows or movies and it was NORMALIZED.

Not directly related to the subject, but both seasons episode Eight were story divided in three full part and not just back and forth between plot, were we follow the adventure for King, Eda and Luz... i fhink that's a neat comeback.

One tiny detail I love about the scene where Amity asks Luz out right before Luz was going to do the same was the way Luz exhaled right after Amity interrupted her. You really get the sense of a massive weight being lifted off her chest in that moment.

I had just found out about The Owl House not too long ago. I binged all 3 seasons in about a week. The show is just so beautifully written and expressed. All the characters just felt so real. They all go through a lot of major changes that strongly impact their lives in some way. The bonds between the characters, how they genuinely look out for each other, their support and comradery is just so beautiful to watch as it evolves and becomes more emotional and raw with almost every passing episode. The extraordinarily unexpected development between Luz and Amity unfold from pure disdain to sincere romantic partners was pure bliss and ridiculously wholesome. Then for Luz to present a video to her mum with LUMITY Studio Productions AND for the mum to be accepting, loving, and excited for Luz! This show legitimately changed my perspective on so many things. It's also one of the first show by Disney that I have ever seen that made me laugh and ugly cry because of so many relatable moments in the show. I'm incredibly thankful to Dana and the crew for making the show what it was..

This LGBTQ+ representation is really refreshing and nice to see. I wasn't expecting Lumity to pop sooner in this episode and man this episode never fail to surprise and amaze me. At first I thought the relationship is a bit rushed but after your analysis on their relationship, you change my mind and gave more insight about it. This ship is the best thing I've ever seen animation history and their relationship really works💖,

It was awkward and imperfect but that made it beautiful💜

"They're adorable and deserve all the happiness!"

Good analysis. I don't usually get invested in mushy stuff either, but yeah this show hooked me bad with that. I mean, I was already on board from ep 1, but now I'm anxious for Saturday to come.
