I used to think I hated romance in stories because I was so accustomed to toxic or outright abusive relationships being presented as "cute" or worse "healthy", but then I saw relationships written like Lumity and I realized the issue was the delivery, not a lack of interest on my part. It's genuinely sad and deeply concerning just how many people call Lumity "boring" because their relationship isn't filled with arguments, insults, or physical assault which many stories portray (or for some reason interpretted by the audiences as) "passionate", "exciting", or "spicy" 🤢

Lumity is perfect specifically because it isn't perfect! They each have their own flaws and issues that sometimes negatively effect their relationship, but they have genuine respect and care for each other and practice healthy communication and are both EQUALLY willing to put in the necessary work to resolve their problems without ever resorting to blaming, belittling, or attacking each other! It's unfortunate just how rare it is to see a romantic relationship experience conflict that isn't born of literal abuse or resentment, and Lumity being a queer couple is honestly just a bonus! I want more m/f and m/m relationships portrayed like Lumity! (And more queer male characters in general because they are SEVERELY lacking and that's not fair!)

The icing on the cake is Lumity helps and encourages each other to grow, but they also each continue growing and expanding their personal arcs outside of their relationship through their own solo experiences and healthy relationships with other people! Their own personal relationships with friends and family are never brushed aside or undervalued by themselves or the narrative (another gross and unfortunate trend that needs to END) and it's honestly so amazing that kids get to see this! I absolutely adore how Lumity is written; how organic, natural, and sincere it is, and how their relationship is born of respect and friendship, but never becomes the number one most important priority of their lives that overshadows any other aspect of their lives (yet another problematic trend that needs to stop...)

Tldr: Lumity didn't just set the golden standard for queer relationships and representation, but also healthy, well written relationships in general! 💗💜💙

Lumity is a modern masterpiece among animated couples. Their relationship feel so genuinely and relatable that it hard not to smile when the two of them are on screen together.

The show definitely helped me to recognize, work through, and reject my own homophobia. Media is powerful!

lumity was the reason i was like "hey, its ok to be lesbian!" thats why i love it so much <3

[MinecraftWorld]

The thing that makes Lumity the best romantic relationship I've ever seen in any piece of media is that, not only is the relationship built up with a believable yet not rushed dynamic with two characters that serve as perfect for each other, but the relationship doesn't define their characters. In every other story, the relationship either never blossoms, or it does and it just becomes the entire defining trait of one or both of the characters. Here, both sides still fell like or straight up do have lives beyond being a couple. For Luz, we see the adventures she goes on, and for Amity, we know some of her personal life, and we still get the sense that she has more going on with our knowledge of her personal life. The relationship doesn't become their entire lives, just a part of it.

The "Friends" smack-talk is so mean yet so deserved.

I've loved my fair share of cartoon couples over the years but Lumity stands above them all in my opinion. Amity's individual arc was fantastic, the pacing of each step of their relationship was phenomenal, the two of them are absolutely adorable together, they handle their issues in a healthy way, and it's clear just how much they are in love with one another from each scene they share with each other. They warmed my heart more than any other fictional couple I've ever seen.

It’s my favorite series of all time Lumity is the cherry on top of the cartoon

Dana Terrace stated that the reasoning for Owl House's cancellation was due to it being serialized, but considering how Dana reacted so satisfyingly after leaving Disney on Instagram, and how Gravity Falls wasn't cancelled due to its serialization, I think it was definitely the LGBTQ+ stuff.

Yes, this is a perfect relationship indeed. The love relationship between Luz and Amity in the Disney series The Owl House is so beautiful and so wonderful. And it always makes me extremely happy to see these two characters together. I especially enjoy and love the moments they are kissing each other, they are holding hands, they lean their heads to each other and they look deeply into their eyes. These are so romantic and so heavenly moments. This is such a wonderful feeling that I feel whenever I see the characters Luz and Amity together. Thinking of this adorable relationship always makes me extremely happy. This is true. And this is one of the main reasons why I love to watch this Disney series so much.

[josephedmondson]

My feeling on why Lumity works so well is how it was handled. It was, as you said, a healthy relationship that didn't spring out from nowhere. And it works because of the characters of Luz and Amity. Both start off as rivals that gradually form a connection through friendship then into a romance. And it works for Amity's character growth as well as she changes through the seasons! And it's my sincerest hope that shows like this paves the way for more queer representations like this.

wonderful video! the queerness of the Owl House is nothing short of revolutionary and you so beautifully put why that's so and they're so important to the gay canon! 🏳‍🌈

I will always appreciate that video about how lumity isn't rushed because that is the video that started originally got me into the owl house which is now one of my favorite shows. Your video helped me find one of my favorite fandoms ever. I also usually hate romances in my stories and think they are boring and detract from the interesting stuff but lumity is different in that I ship them as hard as everyone else and I love getting to see them together. Dana and the crew did such a good job writing that relationship and that is what makes it so amazing

[Ratrrj]

The out of the closet joke made me laugh out loud dude, rock on

[BunnyKid_aka_CosmicKid_Games]

Great video!!
You just made this already obsessed fan of TOH even more happy with you giving the best details why Lumity works
Lumity will always be my favorite Disney and LGBT+ couple of all time
So well written, supportive of each other, and being so cute together 💙💜

[Deinonuchus]

One aspect not covered in the video is that in closing of the series we see that Luz and Amity are still together and still happy three years later. That not only is their relationship healthy, it lasts.

I loved the original video that was done! It was very good. I love this one, too. I find the argument that Lumity is boring and such so annoying. I have always been annoyed by manufactured relationship drama so unnecessarily shoved in. I prefer it when a couple deals with outside forces together as a unit, something Luz and Amity do so well and so maturely, especially at such a young age.

I’m quite sad that with TOH over, it seems like we can surely say that the era of creator controlled, continuity-having, character & story driven cartoons from the 2010’s era that began with Adventure Time is at an end. Disney’s looking at primarily non serialized shows going forward for TV airing.

I’m hoping we still get shows with queer themes and queer creators/crew members like we have been, but it seems like time will tell.

These two, beautiful, dimension crossed lovers, who help to prove that love can cross boundaries.

Lumity IS We are so very blessed to have The Owl House, I can only dream that more art of this caliber will follow!

As a Bisexual adult woman the show hit so hard in so many ways for myself.
