Countless fans of Disney’s The Owl House loved the show for one reason or another. One of its biggest attractions was the characters who made us laugh and cry. And two of the most impactful individuals were Luz Noceda and Amity Blight. One desires to learn magic, and the other is a genius who shapes muck monsters. These two butted heads during the first half of Season One before their dynamic changed. Shall we re-live their journey and the impact it made on the world?
The Story of Luz and Amity
The Owl House showcases the coming-of-age story of a fantasy-loving teenager named Luz. She stumbles into a chaotic world where magic, demons, and monsters exist. After becoming enamored with its horrific charm, she decides to stay and learn spellcasting. And wild witch Eda the Owl Lady agrees to be her mentor. Her misadventures eventually led to her discovering a unique form of casting magic. Later on, she puts everything she learned to the test against a vile foe.
Luz meets a menagerie of colorful characters throughout the animated series’ duration. The one who impacted her life in the magical dimension broadly was Amity. She first appeared as an antagonistic rival to the young protagonist and her friends. Their conflict lasted until the pair cooperated to survive a nightmarish night in a library. Afterward, Amity acted friendlier towards the human girl, showing her true personality in the process. The two interacted more, thus leading to another significant change in their relationship.
These Disney characters began crushing on each other and dating sometime afterward. They got together thanks to the overzealous and humorous antics of Eda’s house demon, Hooty. Their new romance possessed nothing but love and support. And it remained that way well into their late teen years. Before you ask, yes, they were still together when The Owl House ended.
How People Reacted to Their Relationship
The biggest draw of this animated series was its broad representation of the LGTBQ+ spectrum. It featured characters who were/are homosexual, bisexual, lesbian, non-binary, asexual, and pansexual. Believe it or not, Luz is the first protagonist in Disney history to be bisexual. So you can imagine the aftermath of when she and Amity became an official couple. They even share the magical kingdom’s first same-sex kiss between prominent characters.
While it made Disney history, the teens’ relationship made the most significant impact on people. Viewers consider the pair a positive and natural example of a same-gender couple. In addition, many claimed it helped them understand and accept their sexual orientations. Others even say it gave them the courage to come out to their loved ones. Whether these consequences were intentional or happy accidents remains a mystery. This pairing made the world better for the L.G.T.B.Q. community and will do so for future generations.
Final Thoughts
As an Owl House fan, I’ve always adored the Luz and Amity ship. Their journey from rivals to lovers seemed like superb storytelling, in my opinion. It also demonstrated the power a positive influence can have on someone’s life. Unfortunately, its significance didn’t impact me as much since I’m straight. But I still adored watching these two witches and their adorable interactions. I’m also hoping we see more of them should the show receive a sequel.
