The Owl House S01 E16 Full Length Reaction

One of the absolute best episodes in the show <3

Michael Sciortino

I'm sure you're in the majority -lol.

And by redditers/shippers... of course I mean me 🤣

LOL I loved reading this comment as you realized this actually was a favorite episode of yours, that was great 🤣 But I toootally agree with you about leaving us wondering what the other half of the note said. The confirmation was a cute moment, but I think a few more episodes of leaving the viewer guessing would have been awesome too! Let the Redditers/shippers have their field-days online and get the show trending lol!

This was a really good episode. I'm not sure if it was my favorite, but it was up there. The story was a bit straightforward and her facing her mom was a given (I thought -lol), but I also really liked certain elements quite a bit, too. I thought the Gus and King comradely was a nice element. Some tears rolled down my cheek when the first part of the note was unfolded. It's sweet to see how Amity is so vulnerable in regards to her feelings. I kind of wish they had kept the other half hidden to keep us right at the 99% positive point for just a little longer (I love anticipation). And the mystery of who is writing those letters has me very intrigued. Hmmm...maybe this IS my favorite episode! LOL

Oh my gosh yeah I often think I'd be better off without my phone/ all my social platforms too UNTIL I'm in a position like that where I'm bored out of my mind with nothing else to do lol. Well welcome back to the internet! We're glad you're here hahaha!

That's sweet of you thanks 😀 I don't want to bum people out so suffice it to say I was trapped in the hospital without internet for like 9 weeks so my absence wasn't voluntary hehe. I don't have a phone or other mobile devices as a personal choice because I feel like we've come to a point where expected immediate availability to anyone no matter where you are and on like 9 different platforms has reached a point of insanity that I had to step out of to regain my sanity, but in a special circumstance like being in the hospital having no internet sucks A LOT 😆 Lol yeah initially I only wanted to have Terry Rudolph for the holidays but it's just too good to let go. Everytime I see it I have to chuckle.

Yesssss the aesthetic is literally the reason I want to watch the show lol! The colors are so gorgeous and some of the shots look insane 😍 Honestly knowing that you enjoy the show makes me consider it way more. I think I’ve just been waiting to be in a really solid headspace before I start because I’ve heard it can get quite dark lol >.< And knowing that kiddos are watching Luz and Amity’s relationship in the same way we watched Star and Marco’s just brings me so much joy. Their ship developed so organically and seamlessly and I just can’t wait to watch their romance grow 😭😭💖

Hahaha yaaasss girl

Awe mate I would absolutely recommend Euphoria if that’s your type of thing, It started off seeming like a very generic and sometimes over the top teen drama but it really proved itself to be such a raw, deeply nuanced and emotional show about things like loss and addiction. I know you’re a sucker for some aesthetic too and wow is this show beautiful, I think that’s what really sold me early on is the choice of colour and shots and music it so easily immerses you, truly something to behold✨ What an excellent answer Sailor Moon is eliteee, I never watched it as a kiddo but my ex was such a big fan so I saw a lot of it through my time with her, that’s so great though that there was at least something for you to relate to and see yourself in during adolescence😭🌟 just think some kid probably feels the same way right now watching Luz and Amity as you did back then like ahhhh✨my hearttt✨

Jordan

You're too kind Alycia! Never change queen!

And oh my gosh TOMCO FOREVER 😭 Their duet was my fave too 🥺 Well idk if they’re my *favorite* but Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus were my introduction to same-sex femme lesbians when I was younger and I just remember being like- OH!!! I can wear dresses and heels and like girls???!!! It was definitely a game changer for me 🤣

I’M SO HAPPY YOU LOVED IT TOO 😍 I haven’t watched Euphoria but I know enough about the show to know who you’re talking about and yes I definitely can see them in Luz and Amity 😍 You’re such a good egg, Jordan. Lol seriously thank you for always being so sensitive about these things and wanting to learn more. That’s literally all any of us can do, and please know how much I- and I’m sure everyone in your life- appreciates that 💖

Omg don’t you worry about that one bit! I always just ask to give us something extra to talk about in the comments but it’s never mandatory to answer 😂 Just happy to have you along for the ride!!

Hahahaha we live for the drama!! 🤣

That's sounds cool, i really would like have that experience with an amazing persona, but i Guess there Will ve another time... Hahaha i know a lot of people with that fear😂, but i think fight our worst fear could ve cool, cuse a lot people lose the fear when they're face to face, and they take off that weight that sometimes doesn't let them live. IDK i just like drama hahaha

🥺🥺🥺absoLUTELY best episode of the show so far, this was amazinggg!!!👏✨ Excellent character work and relationship building that payed off BEAUTIFULLY here to say very least, I think this is the beginning of something very special😍 I loved their choices of outfits soooo cute, and idk if it’s just because I’ve been binging the show over the past weekend but if you’ve watched the show Euphoria I got mad Rue and Jules vibes from Luz and Amity here and I just love it, especially in their grom getups being all cute together, I’m just in love with this whole thing if you can’t tell🤩 ANIMATION TOO almost goes without saying it was so beautiful especially in that third act like wowww!!! Its was lovely to see this episode really moved you mate, it’s such a step in the right direction especially for a company like Disney, who granted are getting out of old habits slowly but still have a long way to go in terms of fair representation, not even just in reference to sexuality but that’s another story I guess. As a heterosexual white male it’s so easy for me to sit here and be like “awesome! you go guys” because I just don’t really know what it’s like, my existence is never impacted negatively based solely on who I am. That’s a privilege I try my best every day not take for granted and I’m always looking for the opportunity to further my knowledge and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community’s situation so yeah thank you for sharing how this episode made you feel and how important it was to you!:’) As for my question this week I think we should stay on topic and I’ll ask, who’s your personal favourite non-hetero ship from all the shows we’ve watched here on the channel so far? I can’t lie I still think back to Tom and Marco singing Too Little Too Late and wonder what could’ve been for those two!😭 Also off the top of my head the two cops from Gravity Falls have my whole entire heart they were the fricken sweetesttt!! Can’t wait to hear what you think and i hope you have a great week dude✨

Jordan

Absolutely! We can never take family for granted, not even for a second. Sorry I haven't been responding to your video questions. I can't really attach myself to the show like the rest of the dweebdom =/ But I won't let that stop me from watching you react to it! ^_^ I'll try to be more responsive though.

Zuluuuu 😭 You are literally the sweetest human! I really love connecting with you guys too. The dweebdom brings so much joy to my life and I feel so honored to have shared so many fun moments with you all over the years. And I do have a wonderful, very accepting family and I feel beyond grateful for that.

No no this was great! I'm happy that you were comfortable sharing personal details with the dweebdom! TBH that's the main reason why I up'd my subscription to the 10 dollar tier. It helps us connect and relate to you more! I'm glad your family embraced you when you came out to them! They sound like a great family to have!

Also I just noticed your avatar is still the Terry Rudolph and I am laughing out loud now 🤣🤣

WEEEEES omg it’s so good to hear from you! We really missed ya around here! 💖 I really hope everything is on the up and up with your health and of course you don’t have to say what happened but I just really hope you’re okay 🙏 I thought Luz offering to go with Amity to Grom when Amity secretly wanted to go with her all along was SO CUTE. I am living for their romance and I think season 2 will bring a lot more layers and cuteness to their relationship 😍 Hahahaha you know I never questioned the dance sequence but you’re absolutely right 🤣 Especially considering I trip on my own 2 feet anytime I try to dance with anyone! Luz and Amity have got the moooves! I hope to see you next week but of course your health 1000% comes first and if you need to take time away from Patreon for financial reasons or any other reasons, I would want you to! Take care of yourself and I’ll see you soon ❤️

Zulu! Hi hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the episode ☺️ And I’m an open book, so no worries lol! Honestly I knew from a very young age. Like I remember seeing Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and being like… I don’t know what this is yet but she is very, very pretty🤣🙈 And when I hit puberty, well, I just knew lol. But I remember being so confused because the only gay representation I had in my life was Ellen Degeneres and Rosie ODonell and I thought, well I’m a girly girl so I must not be gay? 😅 I grew up in a Christian household as well, so I was really ashamed of myself for a really long time. I finally came out a few years ago and it was like this ENORMOUS weight had been lifted. Anyways, sorry I got off on a tangent, hopefully that wasn’t more information than you were asking for but that’s the story 🤣

Thank you… I’m doing my best and I think that’s all we can do lol. I’m glad you have writing as a therapeutic outlet, I think that’s so important! Keep on keeping on, friend. And I sure am happy you’re here!

Hey hey :) I was out of commission for health reasons for like 9 weeks, what a perfect episode to come back to. I love this episode it's so cute. Before this episode there were some clues Amity was moving into this direction, I'm sure some of them I just made up in my head but some of them were definitely intended. It was so lovely when Luz offered to go with Amity to Grom when she was the one Amity wanted to invite in the first place. I just love watching people fall in love I don't care what their gender or orientation is, but I'm glad more people get to see their side of the spectrum be portrayed especially in cartoons and as main characters because kids are probably more likely to get into it at a younger age to see that this is just a normal side of being human. Although honestly I have no idea how it works with kids these days with streaming and youtube xD As a kid I snuck into the living room at 5am to watch saturday morning cartoons which was basically the only time in the week there were even cartoons on German TV. And also the only time I was able to watch what I wanted without my parents hehe. But now with toddlers having ipads I'm not even sure cartoons are that big of an entrypoint into media for kids. But I digress...xD This is definitely one of my favorite episodes...and their impromptu dance battle scene was adorable. Although to be quite honest while I loved it visually there was a voice in the back of my head going like "Yeah right, they just got that loaded up even tho probably neither of them have danced before let alone with a partner", xD But then my Rom-Com brain was like shut up, I looove it. Hopefully I can be back each week again, I'm not totally recovered but I really needed this infusion of cuteness today. I really missed this from my weekly routine. :)

Hey Alycia! Great reaction as always and I hope your week was awesome! I have a personal question that you are free not to answer if you are uncomfortable with it. When did you begin to feel uuhh.... this is kind of hard to say without sounding non PC. When did you start to feel sexually attracted to females?

Happily you figured it all out ... or at least are dealing with it in a constructive way ... when so young. I wasn't so lucky, because of another factor. I ended up walling myself off, until the walls got knocked down ... you might remember me talking about it when your reactions to Star ended. Unfortunately, the problems have followed me into geezerhood and things have not improved, partly because of the lockdowns for COVID. My fanfic is a coping mechanism, if I can't have a relationship of my own, might as well live vicariously through fictional characters...

And that does sound lonely. Being a closeted bi girl left me feeling lonely a lot too. I never talked about the feelings I had towards girls with my "friends" because I knew they thought it was "gross" to want to be with a girl. Fortunately I made new friends after HS that could care less who I was into (and weren't, ya know, homophobic lol) and they inadvertently helped me come out. It's interesting that our experiences were so different but also so aligned in feeling misunderstood.

I think it's really cool that these shows are treating these relationships this way. I think the more it's normalized in media, the more people will learn to normalize it in life. I totally agree with you that it's frustrating when a show zooms in on a queer character like they're the odd ones out or their entire character arc is just "I'm gay!" I love that Luz, Amity, and Jackie are all multi-faceted girls with many interests/events going on in their life because...well...that's normal lol!

That's okay, it's an emotional subject. For myself, you can tell I'm rather flamboyant, calling myself a "magical princess from another dimension." I managed to make all the straight people think I was gay, but the gay people knew better. It made for a somewhat lonely teenhood, where the girls weren't interested because they thought I was gay, and the boys weren't interested because they knew I wasn't gay. They were accepting of my gayness, even though I wasn't gay. Weird.

The Amish Electrician

I 1000000% agree with what you said! 🤣 I'm so sorry!!

Season 2B starts airing on the 19th, so it the whole season may be finished by the time you get there.

The Amish Electrician

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I completely misread your initial comment. Wow okay I'm actually blushing right now I'm so embarrassed lol 🙊

I'm saying there WASN'T any handwaving. That's the way to do it.

The Amish Electrician

I think I'm misunderstanding too, and I really want to try and see where you're coming from. What part of the episode did you consider handwaving? Or are you talking about my reaction/review of it all?

As I think more about your comment, I think you misunderstood what I said. Star and Owl are doing it right, they are treating it as normal and unremarkable as it should be, none of this handwaving to give it a special call out.

The Amish Electrician

Oh my gosh I actually didn't realize TOH was only up to the first 1/2 of season 2!! Idk why I thought I had a whole season left to go after this! Well I will be waiting with extreme anticipation with everyone else then 😍 I absolutely can't wait to watch more! And yeah, Understanding Willow was a really good episode too. I can see why that one had you hooked as well

I don't feel different about it at all. I see it as normal and unremarkable as Star's and Marco's and Jackie's and Chloe's. Don't mistake my ragging on Amity as commentary on her interest in Luz, I just like playing up the way she was portrayed at the beginning of the series.

The Amish Electrician

Aaaah I can't wait 😍😍😍

Oh I hope you will get to experience your own prom! I went with my boyfriend at the time and we had a lot of fun together. And I will say after watching this episode I'm just glad no one had to fight their worst fear in a torture pit in the middle of the dance floor... Although I guess if asking someone to dance is your worst fear maybe that counts? 🤣

I think that's really fortunate that you grew up that way. There are a lot of people, myself included, who didn't. Straight relationships are "rubbed in our faces" all the time... Star and Marco's relationship was certainly front and center for the entire series of SVTFOE, so why do you feel differently about Lumity than you did about Starco? The thing is, it's unfortunately not "normal" to have queer characters in children's media yet (IE we have never had a gay Disney Prince/Princess), so of course it's going to feel more obvious when we see it. I actually feel Lumity's relationship is quite subtle and not the focus of the show at all. But that's just my 2 cents.

Yeah this is the episode that got many people hooked and now they need to know more 👌, I personally don’t remember what episode got me hooked because I literally don’t remember the first time I watched any of the episodes 💀 but I think it was probably understanding willow because willow is one of my favorite characters and it was interesting to learn more about her and her relationship with amity and what happened between them, also the whole photo class memories thing was super interesting and I wanna know more about it 🤔 but yeah the next upcoming episodes will have your emotions going all over the place because at first it really happy (& gae🌈) but then it punches you in the gut 😪, so I can’t wait to see your reactions to them and the second half of season 2 is premiering soon so everything’s about get crazy ✋✋

There will also be more gorgeous animation scenes ✨

PD: check in youtube (249) Lumity Bomb [Make You Mine], don´t contain spoilers and it´s a lovely song with scenes until this episode

i really really love this episode and i can´t comment in the last reacction, cause i know somthing of this scapes me, before this we see a little clues but its amazing the organic form of the development. In my case i don´t live the experience of prom cuse covid, but this episode give me a lot

Cruz De La Vega Roberto

I have to admit the whole "representation" thing puzzles me. Where I grew up and went to school, few people cared. Few cared what race you were, what religion you were, what gender you were, what orientation you were ... the attitude was they were all people (and ALL people suck); those that did were the minority. To me, Star and Owl House did/do it right ... none of this "Hey, look, gay person! Did you see? Gay person! Gay! Gay! Gay! See the gay person?" If it's normal, you don't have to call it out, it's just there.
