Eda Clawthorne and Lilith Clawthorne are both weird girls!

Eda Clawthorne and Lilith Clawthorne are weird girls!

I'm still in awe that not even a decade ago (2014, a year before same-sex marriage was legalized in the US), queer representation in children's animation was at the point where The Legend of Korra ended with Korra and Asami holding hands in the very last seconds and the creator having to come onto tumblr to plead with us all to understand that these two characters are canonically queer, the crew just couldn't show anything more (and were heavily implied to face restrictions) and now, in April 2023, The Owl House ended with multiple episodes highlighting how the main character is openly bi, her love interest is a lesbian with whom multiple on-screen kisses were shared, her mother proudly wears a rainbow pin and has read multiple books on sexuality and gender, her mentor is openly bi, the mentor's love interest is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, the mentor's adopted son has a genderqueer 'dad', the mentor's sister is confirmed to be aro/ace, the main character's best friend has two dads who share an on-screen kiss, the main character's pseudo-sister blushes around a nonbinary teenager who also uses they/them pronouns, minor characters blush and react to others in ways that suggest that they are also queer, there are different flags everywhere, and the child-god of the cosmos who comes to visit them all from time to time uses he/they pronouns. That's on top of the Afro-Latina representation, the neurodivergence and disability representation, and so much more. Let's see how far we've come, indeed!

babygirl your enormous eyebags and just barely noticeable tremor have captivated me

“And Luz, thank you, for being in my life.”

-

“Luz, I’m so happy I had you as a big sister.”

-

“Looks like we’re gonna be split up again. I feel like I should be used to this feeling by now, but... I still don’t know what to say.”

“Oh. I know what I should have said. I should have thanked them.”

“Eda, King. Thank you, for everything.”

The fact that all three of them had to say goodbye to each other at the end of their respective seasons, resigned to their fate as they thanked them. But it's Luz who breaks the tragic pattern of pain, in this case not being able to say thanks as a goodbye... Only to be able to say it as an affirmation of their bond when they are reunited! Likewise...

-

"But we're a family! Us weirdoes have to stick together, remember?"

"You have a family already. Go back to them."

-

"We gotta stick together. We gotta stick together!"

"I'm sorry, not this time."

-

"Weirdoes?"

"Weirdoes."

At the end of each season, Luz repeated "Us weirdoes have to stick together" only for a grieving Eda and King to refuse it. But the last time Luz says it, they finally get to return and affirm the bond they taught her.

diversity win! your dead father is genderqueer

Belos really tried the “I’m just a little guy! Im just a silly little guy ok? I’m just a silly little guy and it’s also my birthday!” and I’m so glad it didn’t work

Watching and Dreaming Spoilers without Context

*SPOILER ALERT*

You know what the best part of Watching and Dreaming for me was? The fact that it opens SO MANY doors for fans to discuss or make content. There's Hunter's new palisman, the University of Wild Magic, the political state of the Boiling Isles, and so much more. We're not going to run out of TOH content anytime soon.

it’s just. in the end it’s about family. it’s about Camila pulling Eda into a hug because she took care of her baby. it’s about Hunter thinking he has no one looking for him only to find Darius over his shoulder. it’s about King’s dad telling Luz to tell King he loafs him. (it’s about Caleb falling in love with Evelyn, Philip betraying him for it.) it’s about Gus and Amity and Willow finding their dads. Vee graduating alongside Luz. The Collector being a lonely kid who was abandoned. 

Luz having her quinceañera on the Boiling Isles with everyone she loves around her. This show is about family.
