This Should've Been Hunter's Halloween Costume, If Only For The Fact That It'd Have Made The Whole Scene

This should've been Hunter's Halloween costume, if only for the fact that it'd have made the whole scene infinitely funnier. Here have extra panels too, I'm feeling generous:

He removed the top of the costume in the episode so he'd definitely have tried. I like torturing him, he deserves it.

Belos

Hunter has been through so much, but it was written beautifully. The poor boy made so much progress, he finally started liking who he was, and then Belos took it all away from him once again, so you'd think. But just looking at him post-possession. He's hurt, he's angry, but his mentality has changed. He's sad, and by god he's allowed to be, he just lost his best friend... and most definitely went through an INCREDIBLY triggering experience. But if this had happened in season 2, he would be hyperventilating right now; he would go straight into a panic attack. But he has a support system now, hobbies/coping mechanisms, and he has the love of his best friend INSIDE his heart. He's taking the next step to -truly- finding his purpose and loving himself once again and finding ways to cope with his anxiety. And I just think it's beautiful how much progress he has made in the human world.

All wearing a hand-sewn wolf t-shirt, and an off-brand star trek cosplay. I seriously Love this show so so much.

THE OWL HOUSE - LUZ'S NEURODIVERGENCE

I know when people talk about representation in the Owl House, they mean the big stuff, the queerness. And yeah, Thanks to Them has a lot of that, and it was great, but there's one moment in the episode that particularly stuck with me.

THIS SCENE

THE NEURODIVERGENT REPRESENTATION

This is something I've seen people on tumblr talk about a lot. About how the school system isn't designed for everyone's brain, and it shouldn't be a measure of who is the cleverest, or who puts in the most effort, or who is the most worthy.

Luz is clever. Just not at the kind of subjects they teach. And even when she is, it comes and goes, or she can't focus and applies herself too little, or too much and just generally can't operate on the level they require from her 100 percent of the time.

The fact that they finally outright say it, the reasons she's been struggling in her own world, and point out her difference in such an obvious way makes me so happy.

Because think about it. Think about it the way you think about Amity and Luz asking each other out onscreen, or Raine's pronouns. There are children out there right now too young to voice themselves on the Internet, who sit around and watch this show.

Children who might be struggling in school, and see themselves in Luz. Children whose struggles and stories are finally being voiced, and who are being shown that it's okay to feel this way. You're just like this character here. You were built to excell somewhere else and it's okay that you are.

It's satisfying and sad. Real life children won't get to escape to the Boiling Isles, but they might see this scene, and push aside the narrative that they are a failure. That they'll never be more than the problem child.

All because of this wonderful show which voices, inspires, and represents people who have been waiting for it their whole lives.

Please don't think I'm trying to discredit the LGBTQ+ or poc or any other kind of rep in the show, I love it all, I just really wanted to talk about this side of it.

the best part of belos is that he just keeps getting worse
